[Nyte-]

OOC: Shadowwhisper will be sending out the Dawn patrols soon after Dapple[hearts?] death gets out and such. One of the patrols can find her.

Starlingheart - Warrior

The she-cat listened to the soft steps of paws coming near. She flicked her ears and turned her head to see Canis. She flicked her tail, inviting him to sit next to her as she stared out toward where the sun would soon rise. After a little while she sighed. "What should I do?" she asked him, looking to him at that moment as more a long lost best friend than anything else.

Canis

Canis sat down beside her, watching the horizon turn a soft, pink. He sighed. "Talk to him. Shadow is the son of Death, but also his shadow." He said, glancing at Starling. "He shares the same blood and the same temper. Both are dangerous, and yet Shadow is also himself. Imagine what it's like to constantly be compared to someone your not." his eyes hardened slightly, remembering when he was a kit. He was hated all because his father was disliked.

He sighed. "He loved you. But that doesn't give him the right to claim you as his. You are yours and yours alone. No one should control you. Those kits in your belly? They are yours." He said, softly placing a paw on her stomach. he could feel them as well. It was what had let him know when they had first met that she had had a new lover while he was gone. "You will raise them however you wish. Just keep in mind, whatever you do for them, will affect what they become." He said, watching her carefully. He sighed and turned away, lying down. Her small frame was dwarfed by his large, wolfish one. A comforting warmth emitted from him.

"There was this pup, back at my pack." He said quietly, his voice barely a whisper. "Her name was Bird. She had the grayest of pelts I had ever seen, and the cutest blue eyes. She hated everyone. She avoided everyone and never spoke a word. Everyone thought she would die." He smiled slightly. "Then one day, I saved her. She had fallen into a human well. Unable to climb out, she was left down there, whimpering. I told her to climb into the bucket and I began to reel her up with that strange tool on the well. When she was safe, she went up to me, trembling, and told me her name."

He sighed. "She never talked because she was afraid. Afraid everyone hated her because she was an outcast. A mutt. Her father had been a lone wolf. It had been treasonous, what her mother had done. She was terrified of being left alone, and yet terrified of talking with others. Through her, I learned what a parent can do to a child simply by an unconscious act." Canis looked at her and smiled. "She became the beta of the pack after a while. She's amazing. Strong, fair, and beautiful. And she understands better than most. But she still has that fear in her heart." Canis said.

((Who wants to find Dappleheart dead in the warriors den? I just realized this is my second cat killed by Shadowblaze. The first was Dawnpool....and she was killed in the warriors den too! Creepy!))

Starlingheart - Warrior

The she-cat flicked her ears toward him as he spoke about the pup. She laid her head down on her paws and wrapped her tail around, resting it on her nose, flicking ever so gently. After he finished she sighed softly, "Shadowblaze has a kind and soft heart when it came to me, but everyone became so untrusting of him because of his appearance, his fangs set him apart for his siblings. Even my father has given him looks before... I felt bad.." she mewed, exhaling. "I felt bad for him and I wanted to show him that it was not a world full of evil.. But I never lost my feelings for you.. and that was the wall in between Shadowblaze and I, I love him at first.. but I fear I was only trying to cover up the empty part in my soul." she mewed, her voice very even toned the whole time. Keeping her eye on the rising sun. "I doubt talking to him will do this any good, he will only become angry and he... he." she paused, trying to find a way to describe Shadowblaze when he was angry without upsetting Canis. "He becomes.. someone else." She pirked her ears up as the morning birds started to wake up, singing a melody that she had heard often. She enjoyed the melodys of the birds, and the forest, and all her surroudings. 'Canis doesn't have that ability... being deaf.. I am surprised he can talk and understand me as well as he can.' she thought to herself, looking over at the wolf-cat.

Canis

Canis watched her ears perk up and he looked a little to his left, seeing a bird with it's beak open. Vibrations, faint because it was such a high pitch, emitted from it's small form. He felt a pang of longing. What would it be like... to hear a bird sing? He had been death all his life, so he didn't know. Everything to him was just vibrations. He glanced at Starling and smiled wryly, noticing her watching him. He felt the tremor in her voice as she spoke of Shadow's anger. He felt his own anger rise in response. "He becomes that which everyone compares him to." He said, his voice hard and cold. His eyes narrowed as he looked away, trying to calm his own anger.

it had taken him many moons to learn to control his inherited rage. He had finally done it though, with Bird and Starling in mind. He glanced back at her, smiling slightly. Very slowly, he nuzzled behind her ear. Then he withdrew, knowing that no matter how prideful she was, Starling was still fragile. She could break under such stress. He felt a pang of guilt, realizing that his return had hampered things hugely.

Starlingheart - Warrior

The she-cat sighed and laid her head back down on her paws. She nodded, "He becomes that in which he was born from. Deathstar." she mewed, thinking back to when she was younger and the dark tyrant was trying to overtake Destinyclan and kill anyone in the way. Starlingheart flicked her ears back when he touched her. It was a simple touch but it still made her realize once again that he really was here. But, she had told Shadowblaze that she would not pick one of them over the other. And she intended to keep that, no matter how much it hurt. She laid her ears on her head and said softly, almost as if it hurt her to say it, although it was in a strong voice, "Please don't Canis." She breathed in and out again slowly, closing her bright green eyes.

Canis

Canis resisted the wolf urge to whine. It was a common trait, that when a female wolf rejected the male, they continued to tempt and woo at her until she accepted. But Starling was not a wolf. Canis bowed his head in acknowledgment. "Just now, Starling, that no matter what you do, or where you are, I will always be beside you." He said, looking to the rising sun as he said it. He didn't want her to see the conviction in his eyes. The unspoken words that ran through his mind.
I'll protect you and the kits till the day I die. I'll kill all who stand in my way, and I'll watch over those kits as if they were my own. I won't abandon you again. I swear it on my father's living soul.

Starlingheart - Warrior

Starlingheart couldn't help but smile at his words. "I know Canis..." she sighed softly, a happier sigh though as she shifted her body into a more comfortable position to watch the sunrise. She flicked her ears toward him although not looking at him, as if she was mesmorized by the changing colors. "So you are going to come back then. Join the clan again under someones rule other then your own? You know you have to follow by our rules again, a lot of the cats in the clan know not of you or your father, but then again a lot do.." she mewed, she then proceded to tell Canis who all had died recently, so he was up to date on at least that.

[Shiko Hayashi]

Canis

Canis sighed, listening to all of the deceased cats. He bowed his head respectfully after Starling stopped, giving them his own, silent vigil. Then he glanced at her. "I'm not sure Starling. Pack life is much more strict than Clan life. I wonder what it will be like, being the only wolf under a rule of cats..." He said. He grimaced. "My father must have been lonely... " He whispered. "He told me how he first encountered the Clan. He had only been at apprentice age then. He had been badly wounded by a fox and he tumbled down the hill right into the middle of the clan." he laughed. "He hissed and snarled, swaying on his feet. The first cat to talk to him had been a cat named Foxstreak at the time. They had trapped him inside and, knowing he wouldn't be able to flee, he sat and waited for Cracklestar. It was pretty amazing." Canis said, laughing quietly.


((Blast from the past))

He sighed adn suddenly, before he could grab hold of something, he was tumbling down a small hill into a clearing. He was shocked when he realized that the clearing was full of cats. Wild cats. He hissed as soon as he jumped up and unsheathed his claws, bristling his fur and glaring in every direction smelling them everywhere. Ancient and New. Old and Young. Wild and Domestic. He hissed louder. "Stay back!" He rasped, his voice ruff from his pain. The tumble down the hill had scent slivers of pain shooting through him. He swayed ever so slightly, the earth's pulse making his heart seem louder. The necklace around his neck with the fox tooth on it dangled slightly.
Wolf snarled. "Stay back! Or I'll tear you to shreds!" He rasped. It might of seemed laughable if not for the truth in his eyes. He was only an apprentice aged kit and yet he was prepared to kill, need be. He snarled loudly when he sensed the cat blocking the exit. He thought about this logically. He couldn't run, the cats would be on him. He couldn't fight, he was still losing blood and wouldn't be able to stay any much longer, much less fight. He couldn't study the cats because he had no sight. The only thing he could do was talk. So he let his hackles lower an he sat down, his tail flicking back and forth, listening to the sounds of the camp and waiting for their leader. He turned his gaze onto the large cat blocking the tunnel and he found his eyes, sensing them. He glared straight at them. "Don't worry. I won't run. It's no use." He said quietly, failing to keep the acidic venom out of his voice. He wasn't good with other cats. Why? Because the only other cats he had known was his father. Oh and the ancient spirits of the cat's from before.
Wolf shook his head. "No. I already applied cobwebs to staunch the flow of blood. See this necklace? It's the canine tooth of a fox." At this, his eyes flashed angrily. "It was a friend of the one that killed my father. For that, I killed it." He said. The cold truth in his eyes was terrifying. He cocked his head. "I might not be able to fight you, having friends around, but if you were alone, it would be like killing a rabbit. I speak of this with ease because I have done it to a fox. My father.... was rather skilled. He was.... let's say... important to all the clans. He passed his skills to me." Wolf said, at this, he looked away, his blind eyes glittering slightly. "I am sorry..... But I can sense you don't believe me." He said, not looking at them.Wolf paused for a second, then very quietly, he whispered to her. "You would harm a cat that is blind? Whereas you think I underestimate you, you are underestimating me. But you are wrong. I know You are strong. But I don't wish to fight. Ever. Not unless it is against Swifttongue." He said, something creeping into his voice at the mention of the fox that had killed his father. The fox tooth gleamed slightly.Wolf gazed at the leader and bowed his head ever so slightly. "My apologies. I was driven into your clearing by a raven intent on keeping it's kill." he said, his voice calm and cool. His clear eyes gazed at her, even though he did not see her. "There is no need to be so.... hostile. I'm just an apprentice aged cat who just happened to stumble in at the wrong time." His eyes narrowed ever so slightly. He looked slightly bigger than an apprentice, being a Main Coon cat. Wolf targeted the source of the voice instantly and turned to the female apprentice. "Wolf." he said simply, his lip twitching in the ghost of a smile. Wolf cocked his head slightly. "It's a type of dog that's fiercer, scarier, and eats large animals. Like deer or elk." He said, recalling what his father told him. His father used to live where the wolves roamed free. He once told him of a story where he made a friend with a wolf named Zephyr. He treasured those stories, knowing in his heart that they were true.Wolf gazed at her straight into her eyes. "I don't lie." he said simply. The truth burned fiercely. In fact, Wolf hadn;t lied once since he walked onto the Destiny Clan's territory.

Starlingheart - Warrior

Starlingheart nodded when he recalled his father joining the clan. "Yes.. my mother was the first to talk to him... I remember hearing her storys before bed." she smiled softly. The slender she-cat stood up and stretched out, flicking her tail slowly back and fourth. "My father should be awake by now.. and if not I know Shadowwhisper is awake..." she mewed, turning to look in the direction of the camp. She glanced wearily around the clearing, as if something could jump out at any moment. ".. Shale we?" she asked, looking back at the sunrise before at Canis.
