private Oaths and Gifts || Thundergleam

[Fadingpaw]

[ ༻ ☼ ༺ ] With her apprenticeship not that long to go, in fact it would happen any day now, and the knowledge of knowing that the one who she wished to train so closely with, the one she had wants to take underneath their wing could not do such a thing, not now at least but... there was a chance, there's always a chance of something happening that might lead to Thundergleam ending up her mentor- a wishful thought, one that Fadingkit prayed to Starclan each night, if they truly did listened that is.

Tonight was just like any night for the kit, she had been shooed to the nursery to sleep yet, the girl could not find it in herself to sleep and so she slipped away from the pile of her sleeping siblings, two feathers gently tucked in her maw in hopes to find the molly whom she sought for before spotting the pale soon-to-be warrior basked in the moonlight, and she blinked watching her almost like she was a ghost for a moment before approaching, setting the identical feathers near her tinier paws before awkwardly shifting a bit.

"Thundergleam.. I have... a gift for you, but I want you to promise me something" she said, her words soft before she looked to the other with a hopeful look shimmering in her blue eyes. "If something were to happen, if my...mentor becomes unfit to train me, can you take over? Ask Howlingstar to take me under your wing?" her words were filled with hope, filled with that dream the other would say yes, and even if Thundergleam couldn't fully keep her promise, the girl would nonetheless give the other the feather she wished to gift, one in similar toned to a smaller feather that she kept tucked near her paws "Please?" she asked.

[THUNDERGLEAM]

The stars were smiling wide, tonight... grinning, and beautiful as they gazed back at her. She was transfixed by their hypnotic constellations, and the only thing that nudged her attention away was the shuffle of tiny paws... though she supposed Fadingkit was not so tiny anymore. She remembered how the kitten's eyes had lingered upon her moons ago, fascination glinting within the sapphire expanse. It was a fascination Thundergleam found flattering- though she supposed she did understand it. A mysterious stranger... a destined thing, that was her; and though it was hard for some to believe, others trusted the will of the Stars... and, Thundergleam's words... more easily.

A gift, but you have to promise me something. Thundergleam blinked. "That sounds more like a bargain than a gift, little one," Thundergleam murmured, her voice soft and brimming with humour, tones lilted by her smile. She offered a white feather- gorgeous and thoughtful. It was surely symbolic of Thundergleam herself, and she melted a little at the sight. Oh! Father had certainly forgotten to mention that kits were so adorable during her training.

Thundergleam tilted her head, eyes softening. "Oh, Fadingkit... I should not like to hope something so terrible would happen to your mentor." It was important to note that; she did not want to curse anyone to suffering, she was ever careful to avoid that. "But... yes. If, Stars forbid, anything happens... I will ask. I cannot promise I will be heeded, but I will certainly ask." ​
