Sight Bird's Name:
Personality:
Alder is a very haunted creature. He's extremely quiet, and only speaks if spoken to. This makes him a very professional spy. His heart had been torn out of him, but he's been convinced that he shouldn't be sad about the loss of his love. Alder believes that he should be happy and blessed that he'd met and loved such a lovely girl. He is capable of moving on, but only when he is ready to do so. He is very kind and takes into consideration the feelings of others. He is gracious, romantic and very sweet as well. All in all, he is a good friend to have.
Skills:
Alder is very stealthy and because of his earthy colors, very hard to see if in hiding. Camouflages well.
Story:
Cub:
When I emerged out of the numb blackness that is known as sightlessness, I opened my eyes widely and took everything in. I was too young to stand, but I tried anyway. After wobbling, falling over, and letting out a cry of distress, Mother pushed me towards her warmth and I was calm again.
I will never forget my first memory of opening my eyes for the first time, it was breathtaking and I couldn’t have wished for a better moment. The view from our den wasn’t much, but from my tiny viewpoint those trees looked as if they were touching the vibrant night sky. In these short few months of my life, I began growing and exploring more of the world around me.
At almost a year, I met my to-be love, Layla. At the time though, she was quickly becoming my best friend. We did everything together and had many adventures. The one that stands out most was when we trekked into the forest after nightfall.
It was a sharp fall night and very, very dark. Though with Layla at my side, I was not scared. We had planned this moment for weeks..the day when we finally got to explore the forest, secretly of course. Our parents wouldn’t let us into the forests until we were at least 8 months old. At the time, I was six months and Layla was five months. We couldn’t wait, and just had to do it. Those big old trees were practically beckoning us with their waving boughs. I pounced into the forest first, closely followed by Layla. After getting used to all the new smells and sounds, we wandered a little. Eventually getting tired, we sat down and just looked at each other “Now what?” Layla asked me, and I merely shrugged “Dunno..where are we?” I asked her, she looked around once and frowned. An expression of worry came over our faces and I stood up, leaning up on a rock and trying to look around. Nothing familiar..I slipped off of the rock, tumbling down and wrenching my paw. I let out a yowl and we heard a bush rustle, followed by a growl. I wasn’t going anywhere, due to the wrenched paw. Layla was about to run for her life, but she thought about it and bounded to my side while we both awaited our fate. To my surprise, my mother padded out of the bushes with a look fit to kill. That quickly ended our adventure. But after that, we both agreed to never leave one another if either one of us was in need.
Adult:
As we grew up, we grew forever closer. Once we were becoming of age, we began seeing each other in the romantic sense. At this point in our lives, I had chosen to fulfill the life of a Spy, and she had taken on the Baiter rank. Baiters would be given to the other Clan, deceiving them. Most likely, Baiters would be killed or taken captive. Up until the time the Leader called her in to send her on a mission, I hadn’t thought about her rank. I couldn’t believe I’d been so ignorant! I was going to lose my love forever..the thought itself was crushing.
Layla came out of the Leader’s den minutes later, half in tears. She bounded up to me and pressed her face against my chest, and I purred sympathetically and sadly, nuzzling her and murmuring loving things in her ears. I knew that she’d been assigned to a mission that was practically suicide..And I planned to follow her.
The day it happened, I was numb. I could barely feel myself disregarding the Leader’s rule, everyone staying in camp except for the Baiters. But I followed her anyway..I couldn’t let her think that I didn’t care and that I would move on..because that isn’t the way I am. As I crouched there in the bushes, I began to think about what our life would be like if this stone hadn’t existed. I’d have my Layla, and we’d be a happy family by now. My attention soon snapped back to reality when the battle cries of the other Clan began to ring around the valley, and I knew her time was up. As soon as they began pouring into the clearing, I almost had to look away..They all came upon her at once. The moment before they took my Layla away from me, she sent me a look..it said everything that she ever needed to say, and then I knew, wherever she was going she would still love me and I would love her.
