a mighty warrior stepped up to the bloodclan border.
he was a domestic feline, with a beautifully flowing tawny and white pelt at that, but he was as big- no, bigger! -than a lion. his claws, as long and sharp as mighty swords, were unsheathed, but because he was such a merciful person, they were only for display unless bloodclan wasn't as welcoming to him as he hoped. they had to be, surely; yes, they would immediately bow down to his greatness, frown him the leader of their clan. his muscles rippled underneath his pelt, hazel optics bright and flecked with the brightest green in the world, he called out in his deep voice, "it is i, the great dareth, and I am here to join your clan. celebrate, for if i had chosen an enemy of yours you would have been crushed in a day. but I am here, and I will aid you in crushing your enemies."
wait a minute. that's not what happened.
that's what the tom perceived to be happening, in his mind. here's how it really went.
dareth stumbled over to the bloodclan border.
he was a domestic feline, with a short, dull brown tabby and white coat. he was about the average size for his species, maybe a bit on the smaller side. his claws were unsheathed, but they weren't nearly as long and as sharp as sword - simply a normal size. he was a bit on the pudgy side, and a golden chain necklace with a large star pennant hung from his neck - he'd told everyone he'd won it the biggest competition in the world, but considering he 'forgot' what it was called, most we're dubious. he had been a kittypet, until he heard about the clans from a nearby loner - who secretly thought it'd be funny to see him get killed, even making bets with his friends about how long it would take. the tom cleared his throat, blinking his hazel eyes and frowning slightly. purposefully lowering his voice an octave, which made him sound ridiculous, he announced, "it is i, the great dareth, and I am here to join your clan. celebrate, for if i had chosen an enemy of yours you would have been crushed in a day. but I am here, and I will aid you in crushing your enemies."
