The Stream

Blizzia sighed, laying down by the stream. With no duties left that day, she was bored out of her wit's end.
"I should be in bliss right now..." She sighed. "But no, a few moments off and utter boredom..."
Waiting for a few, impatient moments for some action, she growled in frustration. "Is there nothing to do in this damned forest?! I mean, when I had action at two moons!"

The young pup pressed herself into her mother's side anxiously.
"What's the banging, mama? I'm scared. Make it stop." She begged.
The next few moments passed by in a flash. A strange creature pointed the long stick at her mother. Within moments, the bitch was laying on the floor, dead. An order to run. A cry of grief. A crystal tear, followed by another, and another, and another...
She was confused, wanted her mama. Needed her mama. But she did as she was told. They had to get away, had to get safe. So she ran, and ran, and ran. The gunshots stopped. She waited, and waited.
They'd be there soon, right? They had to be. And then they could go home, and everything would be normal. Right?
But then several days past, and still nothing. Had they forgotten about her? Didn't they want her anymore? No, she had told herself forcefully. They'd be there soon. They'd just lost her, that was all.
Eventually she just gave up. They'd never ome, never. It took a long time for little Blizzia to accept that they were dead. But she was rescued. It turned out she'd wandered off into another Clan's territory, one she didn't know. Moonriver, it was called.

Oh, she owed them much, too much to repay. Sitting by the stream, bored, wouldn't help her Clan. Blizzia waited, until...
SPLASH!
She batted the two fish onto the bank, and hit them hard with one paw. She smiled.
'Oh yes, life is good.'

Shadow was aware of where he was straight away. While his stronger half remained with Stormcloud, his weaker half was at Moonriver, somewhere.
"Least I managed tio be in two places at once" Shadow thought, noticing a wolf by the bank of the little stream. He wasn't going to get away unoticed. That was the problem with being in two places at once. It was easy to spot, and he wouldn't have enough strength to block the glow. The wolf would know he was an outlaw wolf. The glow, being in two places at once...it all added up. And Shadows power didn't protect him in any shape or form. His wings were tattered, to weak in this place. Shadow broke into a run...

That was enough to get Blizzia's attention.
"Don't try and run, whoever you are!!" She growled, racing after him.
'A good blizzard blast should stop him in his tracks,' The small, snowy wolf thought. She smiled, and felt her body quickly freeze. Her blue eyes started to glow, brighter and brighter, until they were twin blue moons. As she ran after the stranger, she felt a fast, swirling wind form around her. Her fur shone, and tiny, frosty stars threw themselves out of her fur into the chaotic breeze around her. She threw energy into it, let it grow stronger. Then she flung her wings open, and the chaos stopped, the snow hung in midair. She flicked her feathers towards Shadow, and thought,
'Trap him. Hurt him, but not too much. I want to question him.'
Blizzia growled, angry with the stranger. She hoped it hit, that way she could challenge him for being on her territory.
'He's probably been prey stealing. Or maybe he's out to hurt my Clan... Whatever he wants to do, he won't get away with it.'

Shadow felt sick, dizzy, disorientated. Was there away to transfer his stronger side over here? No. The only way would be to reach hiself. But, even if I die here, I do not die. I only die if the real me is killed, not the part of me that goes to another place.... Shadow felt something whizz around him. He stopped. What did he care? He wouldn't tell this Moonriver anything. Nothing.

Blizzia walked towards him, and paced around the blizzard.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Each question came out as a snarl.
"And you should answer quickly, I'm not letting you out of my Blizzard Blast until you've answeresd my questions... If at all." She grinned, and narrowed her eyes. "You could then say that you won't respond, but I'm a very patient wolf. I can wait..."
Blizzia sat down and began to lick her paws, ears pricked for answers.

Shadow began to laugh. What did he care? He wouln't say a thing. Focusing his mind on Starcliff, he'd be able to transport himself there, but it had gone wrong last time. I'm an apprentice for gods sake!

"Stubbornly refusing, eh? That can be changed quite easily, you know..." She focused for a moments, smiling as the blizzard's power increased. "And I could let you go before my Clan finds you." She smiled. They'd almost certainly keep him prisoner, and he wouldn't want that...
Blizzia paused, waiting for his responce.

Shadow tried to activated his Shadow seek. Although it was weak, it worked. The area was clear.
"Your clan are to busy with Starcliff to care about intruders" shadow grinned, blocking out the pain slightly. He couldn't stand this for much longer. Maybe he could let this Blizzard tear him to peices. He was surprised this Moonriver hadn't noticed he was a two-placer. Still, he could take advantage.
"I'd like to see you win this, moonriver!" He hissed

Shadow smiled again.
"Use your Logic Moonriver" He retorted, closing his eyes. "There are so many things you have not noticed!" He tried to sound confident, and it worked. But he was scared. Shadow was scared, shaking. He wanted to huddle up to Stormcloud...

"Then maybe you'd care to enlighten me." She responded calmly.
"Besides, I've noticed that your good at disguising your emotions. But what fool wouldn't be worried when they're trapped, and their captor's pack could be back any time? A little information, that's all I ask. A few answered questions, and oops, I 'accidentally' let you go. What do you say, little pup?"

"Pft. All I'm saying is you better watch your back, Moonriver. Starcliff is the enemy, not me" He laughed. Then he passed out...

Blizzia growled in frustration, and let the blizzard drop.
"Damned fool..." She padded over to his body and leaned forward to his scruff. "Guess I'll have to take you back to camp..."

Shadow started to come concious, but he knew to stay half-concious. How much getting into Mooriver camp - without being caught, would mean. Stormcloud would be proud. Shadow almost smiled.

Blizzia smiled happily. Her first prisoner for her Clan!! Oh, the joy. She couldn't wait for it all... The punishments, the intergiations...
Oh yes, this was gonna be great!


((Blizzia is off to the Clan Den.))

Tsuki looked at the stream. He'd had a chance to come to this clan. Where the waters ran pure. But Moonriver was a big clan, Starcliff was not. But he knew the Prophecy.
There are three that rule the isle
Three shall become two
and the two shall be at war for etenity...
But which clan was going to be destroyed?

Silvermask landed with a thud, hitting the ground and slidding against the mud.

Sunfire landed behind while the others overhead flew onwards towards camp.
"Silvie?" she enquired, gingerly.

"Sunfire?" Silvermask looked up

"Nice to see you well!" laughed the teal she-wolf. "Isn't it great to be home?"

"Yeah" Silver muttered, "It's just the clan is disorted, and there don't seam to be wolves from oher clans"

Sunfire narrowed her eyes. "A lot of the other clans seem to have been murdered. I fear they may target us next."

"What I fear is that of a new threat" Silvermask whispered

Sunfire nodded and said nothing.
