It started with that dumb arena f!ght. I signed up. It went decent. Until it didn't. You see, I was winning, and I was stronger, but the odds... Well, they were quite against me. And so, here I am, surrounded by my own crimson, the light fading from my eyes. "No, this... M-Mirage, I think that w-was your n-name? I have somethings you need to tell people. First, t-to you, Mirage. You're strong. Eveyone's rootin' for ya. Go you." A tiny bit of sarcasm, I may admit. "To ExploringPaw. I have nothing to say. To SoraStar, this clan will BURN without m-me. You'll starve. You a-all will. To InkPoison. My wonderful mentor. You didn't fail to train me. I just fail to put it to use." I turn my head weakly back to my opponent. I can't believe it. I was the weak one all along. "I... I give you a three things to remember me by. Here's the first." I hand over the pearls scattered in my tail. They're covered in the red but I can't care any more. "Then these." My kelp wraps. One by one, plucked off my paws. "Now for the third." A silent moment. No, not my laurel crown. That could stay. To remind everyone that /I/ was keeping them alive. Feeding them. "Oh, s-sorry, Almost forgot!" Sarcasm slipped off my tongue as I slashed MiragePaw's chest. A laugh. Solemn and bittersweet. But it was a laugh. Hushed and weak. But it was a laugh. My last one. "A final thing. A request, this time. N-Name a kit after me. Please. It's m-my d!eing wish. And maybe give them those gifts if you w-want." It was in these moments, these very moments that I realised my fate. Nothing grand stood before me. I couldn't be Eternal. This was all a fixed game that I've been pulled into. I thought I could win. And I couldn't. A smile. Then a blink. And the light faded. And I never was Eternal. ——---------------------------- UUUUGHHH! Tern was meant to be my last char. This speech has been repeated too much. So um... the main hunter of UrchinClan is gone. Good luck to you guys. And um... farewell! (Yh I think I'll get a more chill char this time.)
