TW // d3ath the world had slowed drastically, every moment holding its breath, waiting for her clan to snap. /her/ clan. she was the deputy of FlurryClan; Irisdynasty. It was her job to cure the pain, to drive out the darkness, to hold a steady gaze for everyone. Yet, she knew, they were slowly falling apart. the Wolves were getting to them- over and over again, taking them all away, one by one. she was sick of it- sick of the waiting, sick of the insecure ways, sick of her own fear of the jaws of the beasts. afraid that her whole clan was going to crumble before her eyes. scared that everyone would leave her. so she did what she thought she should. she ventured into the territory, gaze set, paws steady, tail swishing back and forth, her white rose earring gleaming in the early light. The earring her lost love, Serenademarvel, had given to her so long ago. It gave her hope. It gave her drive. Confidence, motivation. It cast out the darkness that has plagued her since she was a young apprentice, the darkness that had been eating at her for so long, the darkness that swelled every time the wolves found another victim. And she hated it. She almost knew what was going to happen, as she sped up, sped forward, rushing towards the sound of howls in the air. The sound that brought d3ath to so many. She didn't know why she unsheathed her claws and looked it straight in the eye, for many moments. She didn't know why the wolf allowed itself to show a flicker of doubt, or why she simply waited to attack for so long. Was it her duty? Her wish? She would never know, because as she threw herself forward, fur whipping in the wind, yowled piercing through the air, mind set on one thing... ...the wolf didn't hesitate. and then it was gone, in a flash, and she saw everybody she had ever known cross her eyes, like a shooting star, as she fought the beast, the darkness that blotted out the light her whole life. her mother, her brother, her daughter... Serenademarvel, her love... so many others, too quick, she couldn't name them, mind racing, claws whirring as everything grew brighter... and then it was gone. her life, taken, in a snapping of jaws, a final cry. scarlet staining the ground. ``I am Irisdynasty; A rose with many thorns,`` and then it was dark. ..... irisdynastyyyyyy!!!! <////333333 you had just become deputy- why was I so foolish??
