TW for self-deprecation :: I'm only nineteen but my mind is older :: Ozzie was reflecting over its lineage. Sorastar, the leader of the strongest clan Vultureslaughter, the Warlord of the Bleeding Sky Kiteinferno, a legendary warrior that fought wolves How could it ever amount to that? :: Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder :: It didn't know how to carve its own legacy. Its kin seemed to know what they were doing. Merlinpaw was interacting with other clan cats Harrierpaw got into her first fight and survived. What was it doing? :: I shoulder his legacy with pride :: But Sorastar's legacy was heavy, a burden it was sure it would collapse under. The kit of a leader. The prices were high The stakes were high If it failed, what kind of dishonor would follow? :: I used to hear him say, that someday I would... ... .... ..... blow us all away :: How would it do that? How would it blow the clan away? It was weak. It was cowardly. It was naive. And it knew it. It knew it. No amount of words could shake the truth. You'll always be weak, cowardly, naive, undeserving of your father's eyes and your mother's pelt. You'll never blow them all away.
