Dogear stood beside the waterfall, letting the mist dampen his fur. His green eyes looked out over the forest, observing the changing colors. The leaves were browning and dying as the seasons changed, some turning a bright red or dull orange. MothClan would have to wait a while until their forest regrew.
His thoughts wondered to his newly born nieces and nephews. He hadn’t checked up on them in a while, Clan duties had caught up with him, especially now with being deputy and MothClan and RootClan with their respective disasters. Apparently Eveningstar was going mad as well, and that was a whole other can of worms. He sighed through his nose and closed his eyes, listening. To the chatter of his Clanmates behind him, to the waterfall, to the rustling of the dying forest. To the croaks of frogs and chirps of crickets as the sun set behind the trees.
His mind wondered to his mother. She was getting old, and he had beckoned her to join the Elders, though she refused. He assumed one of these days she’ll finally retire to their den and have her grandkits listen to her stories. He smiled at the thought.
A lump of fur charged into his hindquarters and he jumped up from where he was sitting with a start. Whirling around, he saw Lilykit sitting with a wide smile on her face, staring up at him. She was incredibly tiny compared to him.
“Lilykit,” he sighed in relief, “it’s just you. You frightened me.”
“Really?!” the kit stumbled to her paws, “I knew I would.” she smirked.
“Sure.” he smiled down at her and put one of his huge paws on her head, ruffling her fur.
“Hey! Mom worked hard on that.” she backed out of his grasp and tried to smooth her fur back down with a pout.
“Oh, I’m sure she can fix it in the morning.” he said. “Where are your siblings? Go bother them.”
Lilykit blew a raspberry at him, then turned begrudgingly and faced the camp, searching for her siblings.
