private Oh, drunken gods of slaughter ☂ Swansong

[Puddlepaw]

The haunting song of a battle field still rings in Puddlepaw's ears, she thought she would know the tune on account of her very un shielded childhood. Stories in the nursery dripped in gritty realism, a parent who doesn't shy away from all facets of politics. She thought she knew it in the sparring sessions she would have with Wormwatcher and Lavenderpaw respectively. It turns out that what she thought was war was a very out of tune song, too slow and unpracticed. As Puddlepaw lingers by the Medicine Den she wonders if that's just because she was unpracticed? The chimera is no expert now, one battle does not make her an experienced apprentice but she knows it now.

There's still a pounding behind her ears, claws feel clogged even though she knows any trace of Myrtlepaw has been picked off from them. She doesn't feel wrong per say, just different. When she thinks back on that fight she recalls a flash of cream fur, a wispy tabby who had been locked into a fight of her own. It's not her first either, Puddlepaw had heard about the last when she was a kit. The chimera admired the older she-cat, her tales of glory were whispered rumours and legends. Today she will learn more, with a flick of an oily tail she lingers by the den until she can catch a glimpse of misty blues.

"Swansong" her own meow is blunted, a blade that clearly requires sharpening. Puddlepaw is nothing but insistent, when the dream-like warrior moves she decided to move alongside her in hopes to keep up step. "You have killed before, correct?" The sleuth within her wakes from it's hazy slumber, trying to pick apart fact from fiction with blood stained paws.

[Swansong]

⋆⁺₊ ☾ ⁺₊⋆ The feeling of blood upon her paws is still alien to Swansong. She is a creature born to nurture life, not to end it. There is no joy in the act, even as much as she seeks catharsis. It is for the best, it is the righting of a wrong. She is servant to the stars, and so she must carry out their will - grim as it may be. StarClan's grasp has never been kind.

Puddlepaw, they do not know what to make of. In some ways, the two are alike. Both quiet, distant... Apart from the world. And yet, this child takes to violence in a way that makes something in Swansong's gut twist. Perhaps the stars have molded this child more efficiently, precise as a claw's incision. There is a hollowness to her words, empty and moldable. She tears through flesh as though it is all that she was ever made for, and returns as nothing more than the same empty and wide-eyed impression of a child.

It is good, that she would seek their guidance. It soothes them, a little, to know that they can temper this clawing child. "Yes, I have..." they affirm, voice dull yet pleasant. "And on the same soil as you...!" A place of tragedy, a place where the dead make their indignation known in blood.

I FELL ASLEEP WITH A VISION ⋆⁺₊ ☾ ⁺₊⋆ AND I ALMOST PULLED IT THROUGH‎

[Puddlepaw]

Her words immediately capture Puddlepaw's interest, there's slight widening to normally half lidded eyes. There's a glimmer to them, and it eases her to shuffle closer towards the she-cat. She likes Swansong, Puddlepaw always thought she was pretty and wise sounding, seemingly above most of ShadowClan. It could just be that she's easily impressionable, that is a possibility that she doesn't register. Puddlepaw despite her young age has a sizable ego, something that she never acknowledges but could be easy to dissect.

"You have?" That is reassuring, it seemed with how everyone wanted to react it was uncommon. To be in the presence of another killer was affirming, the fact that it was on the same soil too. There's a feeling of unity, one that immediately encourages her to place her trust in them. "Do you recall the name of who you killed?" Did she even know it? The chimera recalls Myrtlepaw, that orange one had called her name. Without him she isn't entirely sure if she would, that fact doesn't bother her either which is a cause for a quiet concern.

"How did you feel?" Her interrogation continues, mirroring her own questioning that she's received from those around her. Absently she thinks of Rainbowpaw, mentally scoffing at the fact that their curiosities seem to align in that morbidity. She wants to ask more, to ask if it was clean, how efficient she was and if she found that sometimes she could feel the blood. With a twitch of her tail she looks over her shoulder to the rest of the clan with a passive stare. "I believe no one else seems to understand" it's an outcry of sorts, for guidance, one that Swansong could take hungrily if she so chose to. ​
