>Snowfang<
Wise Medicine cat of WaterfallClan
I was once a warrior...
I had caught the leaders eye...
But then StarClan spoke...
The old tom walked away from the elders den. His paws felt heavier with every step and though the sadness of his failure at saving Cloudheart's life weighed heavily on him, the old medicine cat looked surprisingly calm. A younger warrior ran up to him, her face full of worry. She didn't even have to open her mouth to know what she was gonna ask him. He gave a small shake of his head. Wails of sadness and anger came from behind her. It was normal for this to happen when a loved one died. Cloudheart had still been rather young to be in the elders den. She had retired early due to loss of eye sight, but even with her loss of sight she still had been a big help. Then in a matter of days she went from being perfectly healthy to being deathly sick. Snowfang tried all he could but sadly...his help hadn't been enough to help her. Now her family and friends grieved over her death.
His paws carried him to the stream that acted as a barrier on the side of the camp. He didn't even stop at the edge, instead he walked in till the water lapped at his belly. Then he dove into the water and began a calming swim. He could hear the grieving cats even from here. Their cries, their anger, their sadness. It was all so overwhelming at times. Wanting some silence he dove under water. Having always been a cat that loved the water for so long he managed to stay underwater for a good five minutes before his lungs burned and he was forced to come up for air. as his head poked up above the surface things had begun to settle down ever so slightly. He knew he was going to have to leave his safe haven soon to take care of the body but for right now he'd give the other cats space and enjoy his peace.
Referred to as the strongest in the clan!
And rumors spread that I was his next choice for deputy.
And I was forced to follow another path.
