Darksong
Back in action!
((Fine. But that's not what I learned.))
Ruby nodded. "Good idea." She turned to the others. "Has everyone found dens?"
----
"Appears so," Tigerflame said, nodding. He did his little thing that he always did when he was approving of something or thinking; the Combusken scarred the ground with his left foot.
----
Ashi cringed. She would have to confront them sometime. Better get it over with.
The shadow-colored Zangoose with glowing eyes and bloodstained claws finally emerged from the undergrowth and revealed herself. She tried to avoid looking into anyone's eyes, but she still glared at Ruby.
"I'm an ally," she said quickly. "I wanted to be in the Darkness clan."
She stepped further into the clearing. "I've heard about you. I was not exiled because of my color, but because of my attitude. But that's not something to dwell on. I'm only dark purple because I was consumed by shadows." She held her paws out in front of her. "As for my claws..." Shyly, she paused. "It's blood."
----
Tigerflame flinched. This was one strange Zangoose.
"I hope to be deputy of this clan. And with that hope of authority, I accept you."
----
Ashi winced slightly, stepping back.
"You may call me whatever you like," she stammered.
----
"Why don't you tell us your real name?" Tigerflame asked.
----
Ashi didn't respond very directly. "Most just call me the Loner Zangoose. My real name has grown useless over time."
---
Tigerflame appeared disappointed slightly, or was it sympathy? Sorrow, even?
Some life she must have had, he thought, sighing.
---
Acknowledging the fact that she was now in the Darkness clan, Ashi took a deep breath and found a den that was near the entrance. It was far away from most others', but she didn't mind. She wanted to be alone most of the time anyway.
Instead of whatever else she was supposed to do, she curled up and fell asleep.
