Stoneclaw grasped the dead squirrel in his jaws. It had been a nice, clean kill, with hardly any blood at all. The squirrel was plump by Leafbare standards and would feed two or three warriors; if Stoneclaw decided to share.
Stoneclaw was a very selfish, vain, cruel, and cold-hearted warrior. As a counterpart, he was also very handsome, and many she cats fawned over him, hoping he would look their way. He didn't.
Walking towards the camp, Stoneclaw heard a pitiful mewling inside the forest. He buried his squirrel in the snow and went to investigate.
Several fox-lengths ahead of Stoneclaw lay a snow covered kit. The kit was making small whimpers and occasional high pitched mews. It's eyes weren't even open yet.
Stoneclaw sat and watched the kit struggling against the snow as it's cries fell on deaf ears and became quieter, and quieter, then died out altogether. Stoneclaw quite enjoyed the silence. He stood up and buried the kit, just like he had the prey.
As Stoneclaw padded back to where he had buried the squirrel, he bent down and uncovered it. It would not come out. Maybe it's stuck on a root, Stoneclaw thought. After a bit of wrestling with the squirrel, it finally came loose with a crack. The squirrel wasn't frozen. It wasn't even covered in snow. The squirrel had turned into crowfood.
Maggots ravaged the squirrel's eyes. It's ribcage, which had caved in, was festering with inflamed, slimy, purple skin and bodily juices. It stank like the Dark Forest.
In disgust, Stoneclaw reburied the squirrel and stood up. Sitting in front of him was a blue grey she cat with azure eyes that gleaned like stars. In fact, her whole pelt shone like stars. A Starclan warrior.
"Who are you?" Stoneclaw asked, shivering with the cold.
I'm special enough that Starclan visited me!
"I'm Bluestar, and I am not here to not here to reward you, " the Starclan warrior answered.
"Oh? Then why are you here," Stoneclaw asked, a smirk evident in his face.
"The kit was a test," Bluestar meowed solemnly , "a test that you failed.
Then the kit wasn't even real!
" Oh, the kit was very much alive, in fact, it's from Thunderclan's very own Nursery, " The Starclan she cat meowed, "Starclan was testing to see if you were as cruel as we thought. "
Stoneclaw scoffed, what was this she cat saying, he was wonderful! Everybody loved him!
"One whose heart is wrought in stone, seasons from now, reduced to bone. Unless one learns love. Chance sent down! A fateful dove!" Bluestar spat with sudden anger.
Stoneclaw's eyes burst with a piercing white light, then nothing.
