wanheda's pelt rippled in anticipation as onya, now more muscled and grave than she had been a few moons before, observed the entirety of the commander's form. "you have grown much, natblida. i am proud to call you my second." onya dipped her head in recognition before bunching her hind legs and leaping on top of wanheda. out of range of the heda's claws or teeth, she unsheathed her claws and dug into her shoulder before viciously ripping at the fur. the commander swiftly dropped to the ground and rolled, her weight suffocating onya underneath her. the spotted feline leapt to her paws and slashed at onya's ears, blood to splattering across the clearing. the momentary victory by wanheda enabled onya to dart underneath her mentor's belly and slash at her hindlegs. she twisted to her side, but onya slipped out the way she darted in and used her paws to drag wanheda to the ground. the smaller feline pressed her paws against the heda's shoulders and dipped her to teeth to take the killing bite. wanheda went limp and onya stopped short, only to be greeted by explosive energy from her mentor. wanheda, using her tall legs to her advantage, leapt onto onya and pressed her head down, kicking out her second's hindlegs with her hindpaws. the seal point tortoiseshell dropped to the ground, and wanheda nipped at the back of her neck; only enough to barely break the skin.
"you let your guard down when you thought you had won. never underestimate an enemy who would do anything to live." she meowed, allowing the nightblood to rise again.
niylah speculated close by and sighed softly, sheathing and unsheathing her claws. "as entertaining as watching you two fight was, i now have to clean your wounds. heda, you first." the commander limped over to her allowing her to clean her shoulder blades. "i think you need to be careful. your second isn't the enemy, and imagined if a real enemy attacked us, and our commander was... not as fit as she normally is."
"if onya was my enemy, she'd be dead." then, she added, "i think you're out of line, niylah." wanheda said stiffly, rolling her shoulders as the fisa licked her bones. she felt hesitation ripple through niylah when she came across her scars- marking each life she had taken.
"there's so many of them." she whispered, chewing a poultice in her mouth.
"i stopped marking my skin when i realized i didn't have enough space. how did you think i got my name, niylah?" the commander commented, then shrugged away from niylah's paws. "i don't think lexa would appreciate how close you are to me."
"if you would think nothing of the time we spent together, my healing you could remain just that." niylah meowed, gently placing cobweb over the poultice. she gave one final glance at wanheda before turning away and disappearing into the bushes.
the commander looked up at the sky, reclining back on her haunches and breathing steadily. the sun had almost set when lexa silently joined her side, their shoulders brushing gently. "i believed you were dead." wanheda murmured softly, entwining their tails together.
"i'm here now." she responded, leaning her head against the spotted commander's shoulder. "and here i'll stay."
"i wouldn't want anything different." wanheda paused, her head angling toward the left. "come out of the shadows, onya." she ordered briskly, drawing away from lexa.
the smaller, younger feline approached hesitantly. "i've seen naikou. with another she-cat from another clan- i recognized the scent from the gathering. they seemed... friendly." onya said awkwardly, shuffling her paws.
"wait for him to return to camp. i will show the clan what it means to be disloyal." wanheda ordered, glancing at her mate. "hodnes laik kwelnes¹. naikou will understand that today."

clarke watched as the traitor emerged through the thickets, the aroma of a strange feline wafting in with him. "naikou, you have been accused of breaking the law of the clan." wanheda beckoned for wintam and gonplei to pin him to the ground. naikou went to the ground without a fight, acknowledging his fate with the bravery of a warrior. "i can smell the disloyalty on you, and my second has seen you cavorting with an enemy. in return, you will suffer a wound from every member of trikruclan. then, after you have suffered, you will die." she meowed. "starting with young skai, who even as a frikdriena, has had more honor than you today." the tiny kit approached naikou obediently, although her tail trembled.
onya approached her, nudging her forward comfortingly. from here, wanheda could not hear what she whispered into the wastelander's ear, but skai was suddenly steadfast and more confident.
"yu gonplei ste odon.²" the wastelander meowed, loudly for the entire clan to hear. then in one swift movement of her paw, she slit naikou's throat, and ended his life.
