RIVERCLAN
KITTEN
TWO MOONS
BLIND IN BOTH EYES
BIOGRAPHY AND TAGS
APPRENTICED TO NONE
PLAYED BY SHEOGORATH
He had been... absent. He's not sure if they could blame him. Blind as he might be, Nettlekit had still witnessed the trauma of the past moon. He had experienced sickness, bloodshed, and death. Cicadastar was one with the stars, and now it seemed more would follow his sparkling paw-steps, waging war against the rogues that had claimed the forest. Despite his self inflicted solitude, Nettlekit had certainly made a name for himself among the other kits as being grumpy and foul tempered. Truthfully, he didn't understand how they could all seem so cheerful, while the entire world shattered and crumbled around them. Perhaps they were the blind ones.
Nettlekit finds himself sitting outside the ShadowClan nursery in silence. His sightless eyes gaze outward, as if piercing the veil between life and death itself. Dusk is falling, and there's a chill in the air. Something approaches. He hears a flurry of hastened paw-steps, smells the scent of his clan, mingling with that of shadow. Frosty gaze flickers toward the face of the messenger, and they speak with grim tones and lamenting sympathies. The child isn't sure he had heard them right the first time. His ears flatten, and he speaks, voice dry and cracking. "What?" Like a stone, his voice shatters the air like glass.
Repeat, he thinks... repeat what I do not wish to hear. Deep down, it begins to process. It is ice that seeps into his veins and spreads to the heart like a disease. He wants to close his paws around his ears and sqeeze his eyes shut. He wants to lash at them, rake claws across their nose and tell them that they are wrong. Truth stings the spirit, freezes the mind. Words are repeated, falling like the dead leaves from the trees. And yet, despite the cold, everything burns.
Reedflower was dead. She had passed away in the ShadowClan medicine den. Yellowcough had taken her. Had taken his mother. So many lives taken from him. StarClan showed no mercy, no kindness. How can anyone look at their starlit pelts and think them anything other than cruel? And now, his mother was up there with them. Twisted for their own gain. Taken. No, stolen. Nettlekit grits his teeth together and says not a word. Sightless eyes turn to the cold ground and he shakes, bitter like the wind, and just as furious.
