!!WARNING!!Mention of loss of limb!! doesn't go into detail but it's still mentioned! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Liondare carefully and quietly got from his nest, not wanting to disturb his resting clanm4t3s. He slipped out of the Warriors den, having to shield his eyes from the blinding light of the sun, not many of his clanm4t3s would be awake, since shadowclan was most active at dusk or dawn, but even if some were he acted like his was going on a simple walk, not wanting to raise questions. He was being a bit sneaky and secretive because he was going to do something that would be considered stupid by his clanm4t3s and something they wouldn't just let him do, but if they asked, he wouldn't lie to them. So he made sure they didn't ask, and he padded out of camp, no questions asked. Liondare tasted the air, he picked up the scent of a mouse, a rabbit, and a frog, but he wasn't looking for prey. He was going to find a mountain Lion and challenge it! he hadn't felt the rush of adrenalin in a while, not being able to do something dangerous enough. Some may call it stupid, but he had never gotten badly injured from his endeavors, maybe a sprained paw or two, sure. But it was nothing he couldn't handle! Liondare padded through the silent swampy forest, the only sounds were his paws touching the forest floor. He continued to taste the air. Picking only the scents of prey, until he picked up the faint scent of a lion. The fierce predator he was named after. He followed the scent, growing stronger as it led him to a grey stone cave, it must be a Lion's den! A shiver ran through his pelt, he could already feel the rush of adrenalin. He made no effort to hide his scent and try to sneak up to the beast, instead he hurried in excitedly. His eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness of the cave and saw a sleeping Lion. He would have to wake it, no way would he attack in its sleep! This had to be a fair fight! A growl rose in Liondare's throat the turned into a yowl startling the Lion that jumped awake and turned to Liondare, teeth bared. Liondare almost panicked but calmed quickly, he could do this! He bared his teeth as well and his tail started lashing back and forth. He took the first attack lunging at the lion's face clawing at it's face. It shook its head violently and Liondare was thrown off its face and Liondare hit the cave wall with a loud THUD. Liondare quickly regained his composer, fear setting in, but he wouldn't let it take hold, he was fine, just a small scratch. He was busy composing himself that he didn't notice the lion's fast moments towards him, until he felt it's hot breath on his back. Liondare let the fear take on control, panic driving him to try and run, but the lion bit down on Liondare's back leg making him screech. Liondare clawed at anything, trying to get a grip on the stone, to run, as he felt his leg tear open. He continued to claw himself forward, the Lion pulling him back as pain overtook him then- SNAP. Liondare flew forward, his body rolling on the hard stone floor, bruising his body. He looked back at his leg, it was gone....ripped off. Liondare couldn't control what happened next, he panicked, his mind a whorl of fear, as the lion neared again, he lashed out. Claws lashing at the lion's neck, his belly exposed. His panic drove him to claws at the lion's face with his remaining back leg, using it to push him forward. He scrambled to his three paws and scampered away. He didn't pay any attention to where he ran, he just ran, kicking up dirt behind him. He could almost feel the hot breath of the Lion behind him, not looking back. fearing for what he may see as he struggled on his three paws. Then he tripped flying forward, and hitting the hard ground with a thud... everything started to fade, he didn't want to be lost here, and d!3 he wouldn't! But everything, reality, slipped away before him into darkness... The last thing he felt was fear...fear...as his eyes pricked up in his eyes... he didn't want this! He clung to reality as his vison faded before him. Would he d!3 he here, alone? Would his clanm4t3s find him? would they know what had happen? He didn't have time to wonder more as... ...everything... ..went.. ...black.
Is Liondare d34d? Nope! Just injured! And now having a new disability that I have researched! - https://www.sfwa.org/2018/11/20/writing-amputees/ https://www.orlandohealth.com/content-hub/what-happens-when-the-limb-is-gone-but-the-pain-remains#:~:text=First%20there%E2%80%99s%20the%20physical%20and%20mental%20trauma%20of,sensation%20that%20the%20missing%20limb%20is%20still%20attached. Liondare will often get phantom pains, this will end up with the med probably give him poppy seeds often. Liondare will also have to adjust to having only three legs, for a few moons tripping up more often than usual, and his jump wouldn't be as strong as it used to being that cats use their back legs to power their jump and Liondare would probably have to learn how to hunt and fight with a missing leg. Liondare after this incident will become more paranoid, and become much more careful, he will self-confined himself to camp. When outside of camp he would be more on edge. He would end up training himself with hunting and fighting. He will also be more jittery and even in camp may be easily scared for a time. But still keeping his kind and gentle personality and some of his energy just a bit less adventures and not going to do something like go into a hawk's nest, but he might play a childish game or something! He also will not talk about what happened only giving small details and never the whole story. If your character is friends with liondare or had a positive interaction with him and wish to rp just ask!
