Yes I know this is a week late, Tornadostorm died at July 30 but I didn't really had any more time to do it so that is why it's late. This art isn't the best I've done, I don't really like it but it's okay I guess. Probably my digital art skills has gotten rusty due to not drawing digitally for a while. credits to @cloudlight for the snowflake code It was a cold afternoon and everything was blurry by the freezing winds blowing past. I shivered and I tried to move my forelegs closer to each other for warmth as I pushed myself to reach the warrior's den. My stomach was grumbling, I was so hungry. That's when I felt the sharp pain in my belly again, but this time I could not bear it. Thus, I collapsed to the snowy floor and everything went black for a moment. The cold air urged me to wake up again and so I did despite my eyes being weak. The cold wasn't the true reason why I wanted to open my weak eyes, but to see the glimpse of my kits.... But when I did, it was nothing like I hoped for. No one was there. Just snow, more snow--- and.... Death. Doing its job to take my soul away up in the stars. But I pleaded not yet to think and wonder. Then, the snow triggered a realization that everything that is currently here, were all that I hated the most. The snow, I hated how it sends tingles in my paws and nose when I breathed the air, and my worst nightmare--- death. It had taken lots of cats, and now it was my turn. Although, this time. I didn't blame it nor the prey rule for my own demise. The prey rule has a valid reason why he had to be last, for the sake of the others. I can remember--- How I refused the act of kindness from the other warriors wanting to share prey with me. It was their prey after all and since food was getting scarce, they had to eat all what they have to survive. Then, my kits--- I left them. I never even got the chance to be more of a father to them. I left them too soon, but it was my decision too. If I had done something to keep on living, I would have stayed in this world. Or.... Was there no any other path that fate chose when the starvation occurred? I don't really know..... "I'm sorry..... I left too early and I wasn't able to take care of you two more, and I couldn't--- guide you anymore throughout your lives. I'm sorry....." My breath is running out, and I couldn't handle how heavy my eyes were getting, forcing me to shut them. But I forced them too to still open them for a little longer. "So this is how it feels to slowly die." Then, snowflakes suddenly appeared, falling down from the sky in a slow motion. Somehow they just looked so peaceful on how they fall so slow. It made my nerves calm like the golden rays of the sun when it sets, its warmth was like a mother's love comforting me in my hard days. As I saw the little flakes, my vision was getting blurry by the tears slowly streaming down on my cheeks. "Huh.... Maybe snow wasn't so cruel after all....."
