✶ NOTES ✶ :: TW FLASHING LIGHTS, BL00D AT THE END! :: Spam the flag like it ows you money, the code will be odd otherwise! as a small, nf note, i would really appreciate if you could mourn in the stae your character was when he officially died! also, everything below are sorastar's feelings and thoughts-- his hate is only directed to the characters! ✶ ✶ ✶ .............. ✶ ✶ ✶ .............. ✶ ✶ ✶ ........... "one,two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..." there are ten things you need to know. number 1. Vultureslaughter summoned be at dawn. across the river, I was meant to go alone. number 2. he was already there when I arrived, the sky still dark, the promise of daylight far. number 3 he took a step forward, ruby gaze alight, as he listed his griveances and exposed his rights. was this really my son, whose first steps I had watched? number 4 the bird song wined, silence except for our voices, and an odd crack that echoed from behind. I am a solider with an assasin's ability. he seems to realize, drawing a step back from me number five I don't think he knew at the time, but we were near the same spot Kiteinferno died, is that why number six i examined my claws with such rigor? i watched as his gaze drifted back with a quiver of his whiskers number seven we kept arguing, as we had done before. was this really what my sins had become? perhaps a confession would go in place; would I really hesitate to hurt the boy I raised? number eight I don't attempt to negotiate. His beliefs are not mine to change. I wasn't wearing any of my jewelery, but for the earrings and Princess' quarzt. A minor detail, I wonder if he'd seen number nine as he moved, I finlly realized, what those cracks and odd scents and symbolized Long and sharp, the arrow came. And the world would never be the same ✶ ✶ ✶ .............. ✶ ✶ ✶ .............. ✶ ✶ ✶ ........... the animatic.. below, further thoughts it was commonly said that, in death, your life flashed before your eyes, every bit of it. I had found it ridiculous, and yet... Pyrothys. Where it all began, my deepest secret. I loathed your very existance ever since my exile, and yet... you're the reason I've gotten this far. Yet you failed me and my littermates, and for that, vengance was taken. I do not regret it. What I perhaps do is my littermate's death. Oh, Flare, Spoobill, Jabiru, Egret... I should've taken you with me. I wish I could say I would've stayed... But that'd be a lie. You haunted me, tore me, until I took revenge. And I loved you for it. I've missed you. My family-- or what was supossed to be. In the end, blood ties are worthless. Incarnatestar, Pyrethrone, your love -- or lack of it-- shaped me into what I am now. I used to wonder why you didn't care for me... yet I realized you weren't capable of it. Celestialblight, you attempted to torture my mind, to manipulate Marlinstar into distrusting me... What a naivety, that you truly believed you could affect me. Azalea-- Siriuspelt. You pathetic snake, you worthless ghost. In the end? I achieved everything you didn't. You tried to bring me down countless times, to poison me, yet it was fruictless, was it? You deserved bit of suffering of your death... In the end, your demise was at my paws. Swirlingrhapsody, Goldenmonster. It as your fault Pyrothys fell. you earned your deaths. UrchinClan. You took me in, you forged the orphan I was into the mighty leader I became. A land of freedom, of glory, for the ambitious, restless souls. Even if my body belonged to the mountains -- i never got accustomized to the ocean -- you were my home. Marlinstar. My mentor, my guide, my friend... my mother. You were my role-model, the cat I aspired to become. You were everything my parents weren't, and even if i didn't say --foolish of me-- I truly loved you. I hope that I've carried your legacy... and made you proud. My adopted siblings... Splendorstake. Maybe, if it hadn't been for my wrath you'd still be here... and so would Kiteinferno. I was so afraid of letting you go, of what lay beyond, it blinded me. I... hope you can forgive that. Harmonybell-- Freckles. You were my very first friend, my right paw, the cat I had wished to be my deputy, before... everything. Had our friendship been as fragile as the cobwebs I gifted you? Snakedance. An adventurous, wild soul. The moment you stepped into the unclaimed territories... I left you at your mercy. I never cared for your religious choice, yet... you abandoned me. Or did you? was it my blindness that made me think so? I was not a good friend. I... I'm sorry. The Gladiators, both old and new-- the Bloodleaf Champions, the Arena. My legacy, the seed I planted for you to grow, the ideals that shaped my life, and ultimately, UrchinClan. Victory above silence, glory above secrecy. {cont below cats
Kiteinferno. My eldest, my pride, my joy... I had hoped you could be, at some point, leader after me. When you died... I was never the same. It was my fault, really-- maybe if we hadn't fought... My other sons and daughters-- I wish I could be there for you. Scorchedshatter, Merlincrown, Buzzardignite I wish I had been more present. I tried, I truly did, yet... sometimes ghosts lay heavier than reality. None of you deserved that. Grandeurphantom, Hyacinthhoney. While I wasn't officially your father, I hope you saw me as one. I loved you as my daughters, that's for sure. Grandeur, I fear for you-- but I know you'll be splendid. Tortrixblight. I... I have no words, for there was never one to describe what we had. I hurt you-- inmensly. I loved your attention, I loved your /love/. I shattered your trust over and over, and-- I missed you. Every single day of my life. If there's something I truly regret, is how I treated you. You deserved so, /so/ much better. Beyond UrchinClan MossClan. At some point, I was sure I godfathered half of the clan, really. Nestled among the pines, I have never seen such capacity to start anew-- almost as if the ancient roots over which you stood were unshakable. Your demise was catastrophic. I could've done so, so much more. Yet... Hiraethhalo. You came to beg to my paws when the situation turned dire, always a symbol of determination and purity. Down to your last breath, you were brave, my nephew. Maplestar. Oh, Smiley. My heart wrenches at the thought of you, my cheerful, happy best friend. How many hours we spent joking, laughing, planning, even after leadership dropped onto our shoulders. How you managed to keep moving forward, even after everything, it remains a mistery. I now realize...You are the last of our generation. I leave you alone now... Push forward, M. Just as you've always done. FlurryClan. The land I fought on, conquered, and, ultimately, swallowed. A weak clan, built over pilars of salt and sand, the fall inevitable. I never treated you kindly-- never sought to. The terms I crafted for the peace treaty were cruel, yet necessary. Pigeonstar. Your war, and your end, crafted by rise as a leader. Miragestar. I haven't forgotten your question. Perhaps you don't realize, yet... you were once of the souls to most greatly impact me. Sometimes as an example of temperance-- others, of what not to be. Maybe I took FlurryClan in as a sign of respect towards you. Unlikely. Green-gazed spirit-- you were said to walk these lands, yet I never knew if you spoke the truth. Not after you disappeared, after we fought.Was there ever a shed of care? HoneydewHarmony. It has been many moons since I last thought of you. You would've hated the way your clan fell. I recall our moments, when we were young and foolish. Brief, yet useful. I look back at Vultureslaugher, his ruby gaze frozen, maws parted. The cat I watched smile as he told me his dreams, cry at his mate's death... and I chose. the bullet strikes me instead My last thought is for her, as I grip Vulture's paw. Above everything, above myself, it was always you. Shatteredcrown. My love, my life, my princess. I died in your paws and came back to life in them-- both literally and metaphorically. Our tease, our spars, our walks, our runs. The way that we drawed to each other, that connection-- it was ethereal. Sometimes, it was the only thing that kept me from madness-- my Soulmate. You took a part of me when you left, leaving a husk of what I was... For my heart was completely yours. I can't wait to see you again, my love in the end, it's only a matter of time. ✶ ✶ ✶ .............. ✶ ✶ ✶ .............. ✶ ✶ ✶ ........... afterword: in the comments lol "a shot rings in the air, birds of prey shooting up. if you recieved this message, it means you owned someone close to Sorastar, who has, unfortunately, perished.
