- apologies for the double post! given its been a while since my last, i'm saying its alright to post again haha.
@random question ! are there characters from your clans that you believe would be good friends with characters from the books? i feel like juniperpelt would get along nicely with graystripe from when he was a young warrior in the first series, and i can see ratnose being comfortable around loner!ravenpaw.
anyway i'm F I N A L L Y working on my darn post again, its gonna be kinda awkward posting it now since it was around newleaf when i first starting working on it and i believe we're nearing leaf-fall now lmao. anyway, here's a preview, tldr; shadeleaf's sad.
- Code: Select all
[i]"Tell my brother that I am at peace now, that he needn't feel blame for what happened, and that I was happy to see him one last time."[/i]
Shadeleaf stiffened as the melodious voice of Anthiese echoed in her mind once again, preventing her from focusing on reorganizing the herb store like she was supposed to. Weaselstorm cast her a curious look, letting out a soft sigh once he understood what was wrong with his apprentice. "You're thinking about her again, aren't you?" He stated; suspicions confirmed as he noted the thin grimace that appeared on Shadeleaf's maw. As always, nothing could get by Weaselstorm when it came to what she was thinking, and she learned to both appreciate and slightly resent her mentor's keen observation over time.
"We should've been there, Weaselstorm. We-we could've, [i]h-helped[/i]..." She choked on her words, a bitter sob leaving her throat as her resolve crumbled away. Shadeleaf hadn't been a full medicine cat for long, but she knew she didn't deserve holding the title given how she managed to fail her patients time and time again. If she hadn't forgotten about what raspberry leaves looked like she could have saved Firkit and Cedarkit, and if she had held off her ceremony just a little more she could have saved Anthiese's kits from becoming orphans and sparing Duckfoot of the grief that came from losing his sister.
