Wildblaze || Tom || Warrior || Mateless
Wildblaze sat beside the river, his bright orange pelt looked dark and rusty under the forest canopy. Yawning loudly, the large tom stood and stretched out each of his legs in turn before bending down over the edge of the river. Parting his maw slightly, Wildblaze began to lap at the still surface of the water, the clear liquid dripping from his chin as he raised his head. Flicking his ears, the tom sat rigid, hearing a slight rustling a fox length behind him. Silently, Wildblaze turned his head to face the sourve of the rustling. Near the base of a tree, a tiny, mal nourished field mouse was ruffling through a pile of leaves. Twitching his whiskers, Wildblaze crouched down a bit, though his body was still facing the opposite direction. If he tried to turn his body towards the mouse, he would make enough noise to scare it away. If he wanted to catch the measly morsel, he'd have to pounce from his current position. Letting his gaze rest on the mouse, Wildblaze patiently waited for it to wiggle closer. He kept himself completely still and silent as he did so. Finally, the mouse was within reach. With a swift jump, Wildblaze was only a pawstep from the prospective meal. Squeaking fearfully, the mouse began to flee, heading for a tiny hole under the roots of a tree. Though, with a strong blow from his front paw, Wildblaze sent it flying back towards the river where he pounced on it and delivered a small bit to its throat, waiting for it to stop squirming and die. As it's life finally faded away, Wildblaze picked it up by the tail and rose to his paws, turning in the direction of the camp and padding of towards it.
[[ For me, this is a horrible post. xD I had no muse though, so.... ]]
