The medicine cat sighed. He was dead-set on becoming a warrior, even though it was entirely possible that he'd end up dead before then. His plea was too heart-breaking for her to say no. She gave him a solemn nod and a dose of anise before dismissing him from her den. He left her care still coughing his head off, but strong.
Lightningfoot was born with asthma. It makes it difficult for him to do anything strenuous. But the little tom was also born to run. He loved nothing more than the wind in his fur, the roar in his ears when he picks up speed. He was the fastest runner the clan's had in many moons. And he wasn't going to let this condition stop him from being the best warrior he could be. Even if it meant he'd face his death sooner than he could've. At least he would've lived to the fullest.
He decided the best way to keep everyone from figuring out he was ill and worrying themselves about him, is to ignore it as much as he can. He pushed himself through training, and continues to push through countless patrols each night. The strain he puts on himself has caused him plenty of asthma attacks. But he keeps it quiet. His many trips to the medicine cat's den for the herbs to manage his breathing are kept a secret between them. Because all he wants is to have a normal life.
