private MY GOOD FAITH | scorchstar


"Scorchstar!" Sedgepounce follows her path from the Tallrock, toward the din of her family-shared den. In his haste, he trips on a rock and nearly goes flying. "Sc—ugh! Sorry, I just—" She turns to him. In the shadowed light, he sees the ragged tufts of her pelt, the harrowing, exhausted glean of her eyes. He straightens, sobers. The adrenaline flooding his veins condenses into a cold stone in his chest.

"I'm sorry," he murmurs. About Scorchstorm, about the meeting, about everything. The feeling of responsibility settles on his shoulders—and after the brief chaos of her announcement, it feels a welcome, familiar weight. "Is there...something I should be doing?"

@SCORCHSTAR
 
༄༄ The call of her name seems muffled, as though it is being spoken from across the gorge, drowned out by the roar of rushing water. She turns, golden eyes catching sight of her deputy—WindClan's deputy—tripping and falling with a stunning lack of grace. For a moment her expression twists with judgment, something nearing disappointment. This is the cat she has chosen to be an example for the rest of her clan, the cat who will someday take her place. He is no-

He is no Scorchstorm.

The pull of grief at her features is plain to see as she looks Sedgepounce over, as he stands in her daughter's pawsteps and asks what he should be doing. "Right now? Your usual duties. Tomorrow? Assigning patrols." The answers are simple, tumbling from her maw in a tired tone. "You will be WindClan's leader when I am gone. Until then, you will act as my closest advisor, and prepare to take my place."
