Fog thickens over the stones, swallowing the retreating shapes of ThunderClan warriors. You hide in the undergrowth, watching the chaos of the lost battle. Yarrowtail, the clan's messenger, stands tense, his frame coiled as he lets out a piercing cry—the signal to fall back. His eyes, wide with dread, scan the enemy lines for Claw. He lunges forward, ignoring the danger, shouting over the clash of claws about the RiverClan numbers. The air itself seems to tremble as they back away from the sun-warmed stones. But the moment they clear the fray, the fragile calm shatters: Claw whirls, and in his eyes there is no gratitude—only a sudden, murderous fury aimed straight at the one who just saved him.
