Unmasked

by Flamestar00

Once I was a kit born and raised in the heart of the clan. Once I was an apprentice learning to hunt and fight for my clan. Once I was a warrior who mentored an apprentice of my own to protect his clan. Once I aspired to become deputy to lead my clan. But I failed. This is why. Please R&R I would like some constructive criticism.

1. Prologue

The breeze whispers around the soaring trees, their branches intwined and woven around each other so tightly it appears like a den roof. The effect creates weird and terrifying shadows on the forest floor. The air is scented with a decay and damp odor.

This is where you will find me. You would find it had to find me as my smokey pelt blends into the bleak background. As I prowl amongst the mist-wrapped trees my amber eyes glow with hate, hungry for vengeance. But this isn't Starclan. This is the Place of No Stars. My name is Icemask.

Once I was flesh and blood like you.

Once I walked the paths that you walk.

Once I was a kit born and raised in the heart of the clan.

Once I was an apprentice learning to hunt and fight for my clan.

Once I was a warrior who mentored an apprentice of my own to protect his clan.

Once I aspired to become deputy to lead my clan.

But I failed.

This is why.
