Prompt:Forest takes pride in his strength and abilities. In his mind, he was the fastest and strongest out of his once fellow to-be's and when he was a newly appointed protector, he claimed to be the best out of his tribe mates. He had to have been, especially when the chieftain had an eye on him and was considering to make him the new second-in-command. To get such a position was an achievement, meant only for those who had the strength and will to take such an important place in the tribe, and Forest was drooling for it. Too bad his cockiness and narcissistic behavior got in the way.
While the chieftain still kept an eye on him, Forest could tell that it did not hold the same feeling as before. It did not settle well with Forest, who began to train harder and faster, his mind was on one track and once he had his eye on something, he was determined to do whatever he could to reach it. Forest was certain that he would be chosen for the position, seeing as he had the needed skills to be second-in-command to the chief, and to even be chief himself. And on the night of the appointing ceremony, Forest held his head high, knowing that the chief could not choose anyone else.
However, as the crowd quieted and the chief spoke, it was not Forest's name that was called and cheered for, but somebody else. Forest had lost, had not been chosen for the position, and it crushed the tom's world. He had been so close, so close, but the position fell right through his claws. But the tom knew that was not his last chance, he was determined after all. He'd reach the top of the tribe in one way or another, that was given.
