Entry by: Wet Bread

40 moon tom

Brightclan Warrior

(read left column first and then right column)

I was born on a dark, dark night.
My mother was weak and frail,
All through the kitting she wailed,
And then once more, for I was a terrible sight.

It’s a sign! The medicine cat declared,
It’s a night of no moon,
He’s sure to bring us ruin.
They couldn’t look away from my fangs, permanently bared.

Mother cried, He looks like a snake!
The leader stepped in the den, locking eyes with his mate.
Calm down, we do not yet know his fate.
I know now his compassion was fake.

And so Venomkit I was named.
All across the clan I was rejected.
My brothers would play while I sat dejected,
And hung my head low in shame.

Everything changed when I became an apprentice.
I was determined to do good,
Like any warrior would.
It was a chance I could not miss.

My mentor was strict,
But he gave me a chance.
When I struggled, I listened to his rants.
I was quick to check the elders for ticks.

This was when I met Driftpaw.
She was sweet and shined bright.
The opposite of me, who reflected a long cold night.
She saw light in me that no one else saw.

We became warriors together
Venomshade and Driftsky
My eyes would not stay dry.
Every day with her by my side seemed better and better.

On the day I was ready to confess to her,
I asked her to go hunting with me
At the large clump of ferns by the large oak tree.
When she agreed, I could hardly hold back my purr.

As we searched among the ferns for prey,
I mustered my courage and strength
To talk to her at any length,
But she already knew what I would say.

She looked at me with love filled eyes
And my heart sang a tune,
But my happiness was far too soon
And I was startled by a nasty surprise.

Suddenly a snake burst from the ferns.
I dodged to the side, quick
But the snake already had a new target picked.
I felt dread as I turned.

The snake’s teeth were locked on to Driftsky tight.
I swiftly ripped it away.
To Starclan I prayed,
But my hopes were dashed when I saw the bite.

I carried Driftsky to camp on my back.
She thrashed, and she flailed.
She moaned, and she wailed.
As the venom started to attack.

My clanmates were horrified.
We watched as Driftsky fell to rest.
Even the kits emerged from their nests.
As my only light and love died.

The cats’ gazes fell on me.
I knew what they were thinking.
I felt myself shrinking.
And I felt dread in my belly.

Starclan was right,
I was rotten inside,
I could have saved her if I tried,
I was not a creature of the light.

Before my clan bled
Before I destroyed them
Before I betrayed them
I fled.

When the light holds fear and the shadows hold memories

When all that’s known is darkness,
when all that’s thought to be is darkness.
The light can be a blinding thing,
an unpredictable thing.

No one thinks that the light can hurt,
that it can cause more pain than good,
but the light is blinding.
The light blinds.

For those that live in the dark,
Those born in the dark.
The light is a nightmare,
the light holds the unknown.

Born in the dark,
born in the caves,
Born with no understanding,
born without light.

Is it sane to fear the light?
To fear what it holds,
when it holds everything?
When it shows all?

What happens when one steps into the light?
When one faces the fear?
But has to show no fear?
Has to pretend the light is nothing.

When one finds others who see no fear in the light,
when they think it’s nothing.
When it is everything to one,

How does one hide that?
How does one keep a fear hidden?
When the fear is everywhere.

Keeping to the shadows during the day,
Spending nights out in the forest.
The moon holds light,
but it’s soft.

No one understands,
no one knows why.
That the light holds fear,
that the light holds pain.

Facing the light,
facing the fear.
Is the only way to hide,
that it is there.

There's a shadow that lies
in that corner of camp.
It's dark and reminds cats
of the cold and the damp.

This shadow is not
a cool shaded place;
This shadow's a cat
with a scowl on her face.

Day after day
and night after night,
The shadow just sits
and glares at the light.

The whole clan avoids her.
They won't meet her stare.
The shadow just watches;
she's always right there.

The kits are all frightened-
Just look at those teeth!
But the shadow just snarls,
her claws never unsheathe.

If they looked closer,
it could maybe be seen
That the shadow's no monster;
she's just cranky and mean.

Beneath the scowls
and the growls and the glares,
The shadow is frightened,
but nobody cares.

She's not afraid
she may be attacked.
The shadow's fears
are a bit more abstract.

Let nobody see
I fear losing who I was,
withering away.

She once was a warrior,
mighty like those
that the shadow now watches
from the spot that she chose.

Such battles she fought
defending her Clan!
The shadow, victorious,
leaped, clawed, and ran.

She fought tooth and claw
for her Clan and kin's sakes.
The shadow lies still now
and every bone aches

Her pelt, once so glossy,
is patchy and ragged.
The shadow's sharp teeth
are now yellow and jagged.

So long ago
she can barely recall,
The shadow was someone,
now she's no one at all.

She used to be fearless,
so bright and so bold,
But somehow the shadow
has gotten old.

She lashes out quickly
when any cat nears.
The shadow won't let them
see what she fears.

See, it's envy, not malice,
that sharpens her tongue-
For the shadow remembers
when she, too, was young.

Left cold and hungry at night
It was obvious
They were never picking a fight
Their fangs, however had a story
one of blood, tears, and glory

They told you of many battles
moons ago
Cats fought from head to toe
to become the strongest of them all
A cat had to make the rest fall

Of course, the stories they talked about
were very easy to doubt
but with those sharp fangs they show with glee
You didn't question them, rightfully

as soon as you were to leave
the she-cat stop you
she drops a plump shrew
"I wish to join you, no matter what"
you agree to her wishes, and let her go
because of your kindness, she started to glow.

He wants to be king,
respected, loved, honored by other cats.
He acts as though
pretty lies will reflect those wishes.
He thinks
because of his pure pelt
that he is destined
for greatness.

I know better.

They came to me
in the deadness of my slumber.
They came to me,
told me Their wishes,
Their expectations,
Their reality.
They said that is something he lacks:
a sense of reality. They say he’s delusional;
that a white pelt means nothing to Them.
They said he is not fit to be the Shadowmaster;
that there is one destined for that greatness.

That one is not him.

I dread the day
I must tell him this news;
that delusional tom will lose
everything he’s fought so hard for.
Everything he’s sacrificed
to become
our Shadowmaster
will have been in vain.

They told me not to even tell him;
that I should slay him
where he lies,
rip the greatness from his throat.
They will not take him;
he is no child of Theirs.

I can’t do that.

I just can’t bring myself
to tear his satisfaction from him;
not because I fear him.
He is sweet, kind - he would not hurt me.

I can’t bring myself to kill the Shadowmaster.
Even if it would grant me power,
I can’t do it.

Leopardeyes, Tom, 56 moons, Warrior, Starryclan

A dark cat,
A night cat,
A hungry meow,
No where to go,

Waiting for food,
Waiting for noon,
Running for life.

Their eyes,
Their dark secrets,
What are you hiding?

What will you do?
What will you make it?
What is this darkness?

The forest,
The peculiar trees,
The slient path,

Gazing eyes,
Glaring eyes,
Glazing face,

The fangs,
That take your life,
Into nothingness.

The forest is a void,
The light is a hidden world,
The forbidden world is nothing.

A shadow has come to you,
A shade has talk to you,
A ghost has your soul.
