Never before had his world seemed to stand on such shaky ground. From the very first day that he recognized what it meant to be a warrior of Mothclan, he had wanted to be one; he had worked just as hard as anyone, and his brothers had too. Then, disaster struck - they had lost their mother, their sister, and even parts of themselves. But even then, Bloompath knew that he was going to force himself through. It was what a warrior was supposed to do.
The day he had finally received his warrior name was the happiest day of his life. He was no longer a child - but he was an adult. And adult who could take care of himself, his family, and his clan. But just as soon as he was getting his feet back under him, regaining his sense of self, it was ripped from out beneath him.
He would not be an Elder; not now, not before he had earned it. And it was a punishment - for what, he had no idea. Except...maybe he did know. He wasn't purely Mothclan, after all - a fact that had never bothered him, but clearly had been a issue with others. Ever since the fire, he realized his mother was protecting him from a lot of things he had no idea about. Dark looks, sly, stinging remarks. Sure, he had Rosefury and Honeyfawn, but it seemed so little compared to everyone else.
And neither of them had been banished from their own clan, had they - although he was greatful that they had followed along with him. None of them wanted to be elders - not when their lives were just beginning.
The longer he walked though, the worse he felt; the sting of being driven from the only home he knew just as sharp and bad as the open cuts and scrapes he had received upon being driven from camp. He was breathing heavier than normal, and felt on the edge of exhaustion; when he realized there was a smell on the breeze that wasn't coming from any of them.
"Guys..." He hesitated, voice coming out as a tired, horse croak. "I think we're about to have company..."
