pafp IN THE STORM'S WAKE | "monster slaying"


There were many within Skyclan that regarded Chrysaliswing as a monster that walked among them, a great beast of dragging pelt and drawling roar. Monsters rarely garnered the sympathy and kindness of the folk around it, for compassion ran like ambrosia through the tongues and the veins of every being. It was highly sought after, and yet CHrys had always been a losing man when it came to that game. Caustic tones helped him naught, as though he brandished his steel blade at any given opportunity, baring his teeth at any opponent that dared cross him. After all, who would want to help a cat who kicked and bit and fought at every hand extended to him? Chrysalis had grown used to it, though, and did not mind the tranquility built in stone walls of his own deed. Striding along the edges of the Skyclan camp, as if some sort of pallid specter fraught in gloom and wildfire colors with a wild gaze to match. He had just arrived to camp from a morning border patrol, and now the sun rose higher in the sky as it shed the sunrise oranges and the morning hues of former snakeskin. On such a cloudless day, the chimaera found himself tangling with the ever-present boredom that settled in his basins.

A young voice sounded through the air, slicing through the palatable silence that swam through Chrys' keen ears, as clean as a pinprick of a needle. At first, he did not think the cry called for him, and yet it persisted as the buzzing fly dogged rot and ruin. A sigh escaped his maw, as though exhaling smoke instead of air, and he turned his attention. Candorkit, ever the juvenile hero with a sprightly visage to match, waddled up to him. He recognized the kitten as part of Blazestar's late brood, though had no stake other than that they were the germinating seeds to the ragdoll leader's legacy. "Uh..." The tomcat trailed off, whiskers twitching in a stringy sense of bemusement, as though his patience ran thin and wiry as the piece of twine hanging off of the side of the pile. What would a kit want with him? He wasn't renowned for being especially good at babysitting. Heterochromatiz gaze shot daggers at the leonine kit that stood below him, though just as fearless as the warrior's whose stories he imbibed himself on. "Whatever idiotic kit-game you're trying to drag me into, I don't want any part of it."

Such negativity! He was frankly up-alled! On some level, Candorkit was very much aware that games were not real, and that any cat need not participate at their on lead-sure, however gloomy ones like this one really should not! Games... encourage playfulness! Bravery! Leadership skills! Optimism! All things, that, while he did not know this cat very well, he got the sense that they lacked. Candorkit regards them with a kittish, and perhaps near-game-breaking look before swiftly steeling himself once again. This would do him good, he decides. He would be this cat's friend! He decides. He could offset his gloominess with his hero-like exterior.

" I said, back foul beast! " he cries again, repeating himself (and thus solidifying that he would not be leaving him alone). Candorkit wields a blade ( sprig of nettles fallen from a nearby pine tree ) in his maw and his claws as weapons! (But not really, because he would never hurt a clanmate, of course! ) " These lands are not yours, and never will be! My army has trained for moons to see your destruction through! "Briefly, he glances behind himself to ensure that he has an army. Even only one "warrior" would satisfy him plenty.

" What be your final words before we cut you down? " he brings himself down into a crouch, getting it across that he was both bark and bite. Were this beast to fight back (And they should, because any other outcome was super boring!) Candorkit was ready to spring!

    fiery lynx point w tawny paws & green eyes. points are still developing.
    Bold, loud, and extravagant, Candorkit idolizes the heroes within stories and goes out of his way to act as they do.
 
Her friend is up to his usual shenanigans, spinning imaginary monsters out of Clanmates and armies out of kits and warriors. Fluffykit is oft content to watch the games of pretend her denmates indulge in, but something about Chrysaliswing’s mean-spirited response to Candorkit’s play rankles her to her core. Her frown is immediate. How rude! The interaction inspires something within her—for once, Fluffykit is going to play, too!

She pads closer to the bi-colored warrior’s paws and throws herself down at his feet, writhing as though she’s in great pain. “Candorstar! Candorstar, please save me from this monster with your army!” She flops unceremoniously, putting a paw to her forehead in a damsel-like pose.

Chrysaliswing stared down at Candorkit and Fluffykit as they decreed him a 'foul beast' and 'this monster', and a scowl quickly painted his face as he realized he would be forced into this sciamachy against his will, as if annoying little kittens could somehow sense the worst cat possible to want to play-fight with. Candorkit, of Bobbie's brood, even held a verdant sprig of nettle against Chrys, like a blade fashioned from springtide and puerile prince-knight facsimile. Flame-brushed chimaera hadn't a clue what about him made him seem so hospitable or affable. Perhaps it was his serpentine tongue, his envenomed words, or his perpetually-glowering countenance that made him such a hit with the kids. An audible groan escaped his maw as Fluffykit flopped down and pretended that she was gravely hurt, a galanty show of a display of injury, for the little one had perhaps never experienced it in her short-lived life. Inwardly did the tom take it as a good sign, though, despite the circumstances that it emerged from. Skyclan, despite the grievances that flew out of him like flighted spitfire every time he dared open his mouth, had protected their future generation well. That was the making of a great clan, or at least partially, in the warrior's opinion. "My final words are: Leave me out of this or I will tell both of your mothers that you are disrupting the warriors and have you grounded until you earn your apprentice names." He muttered as he leaned down to eye-level with the two, his face inumbrated with his usual shade, though his face was very much vulnerable for any kitten who did want to poke at him. He did not expose his ivories, not to little kits, for he still had some standards for how he conducted himself around youth. Especially after Orangestar had reprimanded him, like the leader's harsh words still imprinted hot and heavy against every action he wished to take.

It's a surprise— but one of the best surprises ever, for Fluffykit to join his game! His army may be small... but he had someone to rescue! Such was more than enough motive to slay this beast once and for all! " Worry not, Fluffyheart! I am coming to rescue you! " he cries, and he wonders why Fluffykit doesn't play more often... she's really good at it! Also, being Candorstar is cool. Maybe he should be Candorstar more often! To be a leader, he had to look the part. He straightens himself, and tries to shape himself in the image of Blazestar; in the image of a LionClan warrior. He puffs out his fur as much as he could, and he prepares his attack as the beast leans toward them and bellows a mighty roar—

Leave me out of this or I will tell both of your mothers that you are disrupting the warriors and have you grounded until you earn your apprentice names.

His " WHAT! " is shrill and definitely not leader like. But this boring warrior was totally ruining his game and thus ruining his leadership! Weren't warriors supposed to be cool? " But you're not even doing anything! " he protests.
 

-ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ- The squeals and laughter of kits danced across their ears as they entered camp and they looked over to see little paws messing with- Chrysaliswing. Oh no. Honeysplash had been coming back from doing something with Peachpaw outside of camp, and they had heard Fluffykits cry for help from Candorstar. It honestly made her chuckle and smile a little but she could practically see the fire burning in her dark pelted companions face.

The cream and white warrior though could not say no to a silly kit-game. So they had trotted over with their head held high before stopping just beside Candorkit, “Dont worry! Defeating even the most stubborn monster is easy!” She giggled to try and get the kits up and playing again. Despite Chrysaliswings sour tone and dislike of play, she didnt want to crush the kits spirits! Candorkit shrill ‘what’ could’ve been heard from the other side of twolegplace.

Whatch and learn!” She said proudly and then went up to Chrys before bopping him on the head with a paw, and then skid away from him back to Candorkit with a snicker.
