The landscape was desolate, not a soul to be seen across the entire tundra. Except... one. A ginger speck, hardly noticable to the cackling ravens that circled overhead. Now, let's get a bit closer and examine this 'speck'. A tail, whiskers, inquisitive ears- it could be none other than that of the feline species. And, if you'd like to be precise, the new deputy of SilentClan, Antlerfrost. Although small puffs swirled from his maw and his paws delicately balanced on the snow, the tom was quite accustomed to such harsh conditions, and in all honesty, he quite liked the time of year.
Ah, how I love the serenity and peace.
He mewed light heartedly to himself, taking in the mesmerizing terrain that surronded him. Well... he tried to, at least. Like all of the other SilentClan clanmates he found it hard to shake the episode of last leaf-bare.
Bitter death.
The tom couldn't help but shiver at the thought. His own father had failed to escape the grasp of 'the winds', though had ended up killing himself when he had ventured away in the thicket of a blizzard. But he couldn't let that stop him. Not now, not ever. He was expected to protect his Clan, and he wouldn't let his bravery faulter. Especially towards Emberstar.
He suddenly came to a halt, grimacing at the caribou carcass that lay at his paws. The very ravens that had been circling now squawked at him angrily, ushering him away from the torn and battered carrion. He was so caught up in his own thoughts that he hadn't noticed it!
Even a kit would of!
Hissing under his breath he also realized that he had now reached the border. Just as he had thought the scent markers were faint, and hardly noticable. For several minutes he wandered along silently, leaving his mark when needed. A shadow now fell across his path, telling him that he had come to the eastern edge of their border. It was one of the only trees that side of the territory, and for some reason, there was an unfamilar (feline) scent overlaying SilentClan's. And understandably, he didn't like it.
