[VULTUREMASK]

The vision had been wrong and Sootstar had completely misunderstood the stars message to her. This heavy information had now got crushed down on his shoulders to be burden with as his friend had whispered this into his ear that night along with Sootstars true intention to actually kill them. Vulturemask had been in disbelief. Never had he ever thought for a second that Sootstar would do a such thing didn't matter what his clanmates had said he had wholeheartedly trusted her to not stoop this low, after all Dandelionwish had done alot for this clan during his short time here as their medic and he never would have harmed anyone of them. What a stupid fool he saw himself to be now. This reality had completely shattered his spirit. His loyalty to the two cats he had trusted the most now tearing him apart.

Praying. Yes, he had been praying while keeping his eyes closed and ears covering his ears to not hear or see what was happening outside his den that morning and he had been praying for starclan to help Dandelionwish to get out somehow to not let his clanmates get to them. Vulturemask had told himself to never relay on the stars ever again to only count on his own paws to protect when his prayings had been ignored in the past but this time he had been powerless, having no other choice. If he took a stand he would die for sure and who would keep an eye on his siblings then?. He was the one who had brought them to this place holding him responsible for everything that happened to them now. He couldn't leave them behind...to join death yet. So he was forced to stay put to let fate decide what would happen to his friend....but he prayed and prayed for a miracle to happen. I swear if you spare him, letting him live i will devote myself to you starclan completely. whatever you ask of me and i will obey. A pathetic plea as he had done so before as Leechpaw the one he despised the most. In that very moment Leechpaw had risen from the dead to make that plea and....it had worked.

Vulturemask had heared from outside his den the angry voices from his clanmates how Dandelionwish had got away with Daisypaw and on the inside he couldn't help but sneer knowing what this meant. That starclan had heard his prayer and brought just to his friends unfair fate. Now he had escaped from his cage and was free, free from this place. He had no clue even what to call it. His whole world had gone upside down that night, that morning and now Vulturemask was left trying to put the pieces back together to make sense out of all of this. Lost. He was lost again and this time it didn't seem to be anyone left he could trust....

What was he suppose to do now?.

Vulturemask's ear perked themselves up as he heard pawsteps entering his den, and despite the emotional wreck he was...and how he viewed all of his clanmates like nothing but filthy bugs right now when his whole reality was questioned he still keept his face expressionless, staring at his clanmates bug-looking faces until he could figure out if they where his enemies or not. Keep his cool, keep his head until he know what to do.... pretend like everything was fine. " You all look like shit." he pointed out as he stared, waiting for whoever dared to approach first to come to him. He wouldn't bite...not this time anyway even if he wished he could kick them all out.

[TIGERFROST]

Tags and Information

---

Unlike the rest, Tigerfrost is limping into the den on three legs instead of four. His right fore-paw had been badly twisted in it's fall, and now hung rather limply through the bitter air, aching like fire in the joint. His fur is bloodied too, not just with his own, but with that of others, scarlet claws and painted muzzle, with eyes that still burned with vengeful magma. Tigerfrost prefers to avoid the medicine cat's den, especially given the last few moons, but he can't hunt or patrol in his state, and he wasn't likely to heal well on his own. His irritation is clear upon his stony face, a cold expression and angry lashes of his tail.

"Thanks." A dry comment made in response to Vulturemask's. He imagined he did, indeed, look like shit. "You should know that nearly a quarter the clan fled with Dandelionwish. Five or six cats, maybe more. It was a war within our own camp." He says this because he had not seen the medicine cat during the battle at all. Healers weren't really expected to fight, were they? Tigerfrost supposes he can understand, but if he were ever given a position as a medicine cat, he's not so sure that he could resist the call of a fight, especially in the heart of his own home. "They were all chased out. Two killed." The Warrior explains, referring to both Dappledsun and Jasperglare, unaware that only one of those two mentioned bodies would be found later.

"I twisted my paw pretty bad during the struggle. I don't think it's broken." Tigerfrost raises the limb for Vulturemask to examine. He could still wiggle his toes, could still flex his claws, though not without significant pain. The joint was dislocated, but not fractured. With enough time, it would surely heal. "Some scrapes on my cheek, and my haunches." He's not sure how deep the lacerations on his back were, but given how much they bled, he assumed they're quite serious. The wounds on his face are a bit less so, but nonetheless irritating. The brute sighs, taking a seat, still holding that injured paw up so that Vulturemask could do whatever he needed to do.

"And... sorry for being an ass to you, before. At the badger set." The chimera offers. Dandelionwish's presence had put the warrior on edge for the weeks he had served as the former medicine cat's guard. Now that Vulturemask had received a prophecy from StarClan themselves, Tigerfrost recognized that the ancestors approved of Sootstar's choice. Who was Tigerfrost to disagree with the revered dead? But he hadn't had much time between then and now to speak with the healer, so now would have to do. He expects that others would be entering the den as well, Houndthistle, for one. The chimera had fought side by side with that one, knew that he had taken quite a few cuts himself.

At least they were all alive.

[VULTUREMASK]

What on earth had happened to this tom's paw?. It looked broken and it most really be painful. Was it really that wrong of him to think Tigerfrost deserved this?. Maybe it even should be seen as a sign from starclan on how displeased they where with this warrior for what he had done out there on the battlefield. Vulturemask couldn't possible know what the stars thought or felt of course he wouldn't possible say the short one-sided conversation he had have with Honeytwist to be a real conversation with their ancestors. It had felt unreal for sure but he didn't feel any different about it.

The news that got shared over what had happened out there was shooking to hear, to think there still was traitors living among them who would go against Sootstar....but wasn't that what Dandelionwish had done too?. The medicine cat narrowed his eyes, a displeased frown appearing. " Tch, i can't believe how snakes just keeps on lurking among us.." he would bitterly say as he felt his heart went into two different directions. " I saw what happened out there It's hard to sleep through all of that. " a lie of course, he had been busy shutting it all out but it was not like he was gonna be foolish enough to admit that out aloud. " I wish i could have helpt you but...figured it would probably be bad if i ended up getting my own throat cut open....right after starclan accepted me." he would say, giving a brief explanation to why he had stand of to the side. Windclan had lost too many medicine cats on such short notice. It should be pretty obivious how much valued he was to keep himself alive right now above anything else especially since he hadn't done the ceremony yet. Beside defending the clan was not his job anymore.

Yes the paw. Vulturemask would make sure to get closer when Tigerfrost had placed himself close enough for him to examine the twisted paw. It looked a bit swollen. Already he would put up a frown unsure exactly what he was suppose to be doing. Dandelionwish had never gone through broken bones or legs with him so this was a completely new thing for him. Not broken he said....only Vulturemask would get to decide that. " Hmmh, try moving it for me and tell me exactly where it hurts." he said while left thinking, looking focused with his task to figure out how to treat this injure.

The rest of Tigerfrost injuries he knew were treatable. The back just needed to be cleansed and make sure no bacteria would get into the wounds. Vulturemask would start preparing the goldenrod and marigold for Tigerfrost back and faces wounds, cobwebs already ready and placed in front of them to use to clean the wounds. But he would only start with it after he had attended the paw first. That one was more interesting for him to deal with right now.

While working the medicine cat heard something he never thought would leave this warrior mouth. An apology to them. Vulturemask looked up from his work to look directly at the warrior, and as he blinked Tigerfrost bug-looking face would disappear and return back to what it really looked like. A face of a cat. " Yes you were." he would agree before his attention went down to his work again. " But if i had been in your position i would have acted the same way." he confessed and this time he was telling the truth. If Dandelionwish had been any other cat in the clan Vulturemask would have been siding with Tigerfrost acting just as hostile as they had. He could see himself on both sides, defending Dandelionwish and defending Sootstar which was why this left his head and thoughts shattered all around feeling bedrayed from both. His heart was being ript apart at two different directions. How was he suppose to know where to go?.

Was it even a right or wrong in this situation?.
