tornado was a genius.
not a albert Einstein of course, but he was pretty dam smart for a cat. he knew his way around the camp in a week, he could recite all the names' he had heard, and their positions. if you asked him what the clan that tried to take over before he came, he would tell you that it was virdianclan and snowclan merged together to make blizzardclan. he knew the blizzardclan leaders, deputies, and also the tribe's. he had a photographic memory, a visual, and any other type you could imagine. he was fast and agile, with a smart mind and a handsome body. tornado had it all. except for one thing.
feelings.
well, of course he felt anger and resentment and stuff, but he could push them away easily. it was always a monotone for him. friendliness? keep dreaming. scared? never. lovable? yes. but he loving someone else? never will happen. in fact, the idea of love makes him go a bit weird. that's why it was a bit weird for him to live behind a waterfall, one of the most romantic places a cat can be. but he had a mission that not even him knew about.
and tornado thought about that mission as he made a bowl out of moss and stones. he pushed it to the edge of the land and it was filled up with water quickly. pushing it away from the side, he accidentally brushed the sticks and stones from failed bowls against each other while trying to get it. and it happened. there was a sudden heat. he immediately turned back, and there was fire. it smelled smoky quickly. olive green eyes amused, he flicked the flaming stick into the dirt. it cooled off, but the smell lingered. he grinned a tiny bit as he wondered how long it would take for the others to realize there had been fire.
