Five Truths About Rainwhisker
i.
Ironically enough, he is terrified of storms.
He can not believe Willowpelt would name him after the rain.
ii.
It hits him, one day, that perhaps Willowpelt named him perfectly.
He is clam, cool, collected. He is the rain that waters new-leaf flowers.
He also thinks that Willowpelt named Sootpaw perfectly; if he is the rain, then Sootpaw dances with fire in his veins.
iii.
One day he looks at his sister and asks, "So… what is a 'sorrel'?"
The question traumatizes her.
iv.
On the Great Journey, he grows close to Swallowtail of RiverClan.
She is lovely. She is intelligent. She is funny. She is perfect.
She is from RiverClan, and when they must return to their Clans, he thinks that Swallowtail takes a chunk of his heart with her.
V.
He is the one who must tell Sorreltail that a badger killed Sootfur.
He has never hated being the Responsible One more in his life.
(Bonus)
He still doesn't like storms.
A soft drizzle is okay, but thunder and lightning make his heart race.
And yet, when one of Sorreltail's kits go missing in a leaf-bare storm, he is the one who leads the patrol.
He finds Poppykit cowering from the storm underneath an oak tree. He coaxes her out, then passes her to Brackenfur.
Then a crack splits the air, and in the next heartbeat, Rainwhisker is crushed by a tree branch. Poppykit's shrill screech is the last thing he hears.
Rainwhisker is like Thornclaw; how have I not done him already?
This was another easy one to write, which is always great. I just finished my first year of college so now I have the summer to pump out chapters (and plan a wedding!).
Also, this is the 30th chapter! Hooray! When I first published this booklet I hoped it would be well-recieved, but I never imagined this. These truths are so much fun to write and I love being able to explore characters who typically don't get the spotlight, so as long as you keep reading/reviewing, I'll keep writing :)
I'm considering adding 'couples' to 5T? Like, you would request a canon couple and I would write five truths about their relationship. Thoughts?
I have a new poll on my profile, so be sure it vote on it!
Rainwhisker was requested by Wolfwhisker of Something, Viridian1435, and Celtic Silver all from the last chapter.
