Cliffjumper
Quote:
Cliffjumper He/Him - 25 Moons in life - 2 Moons in death Cliffjumper wanted more than anything to come back, but now it seemed scary, trying to get other cats approval to go back. What if they thought his reasons were stupid? He may never get another chance. But it was worth a shot. Even if the chance was small, there was another chance to live. To be with apple. To make up for everything he had done. So it came down to this. Cliffjumper took a deep breath and stepped forward, His brown tabby pelt fluffing up to make him appear bigger, though he wasn't in a battle, he did not want to appear scared. "First and foremost, My name is Cliffjumper. I was a warrior of RiverClan, and I was chosen to be a Lionheart," he started. Now the hard part. The part that may screw up his chances. His failures. "I thought Lionheart was an honor, so I took the role. But that was wrong of me. I was not ready for that responsibility, and I was scared. I was foolish and neglected my duties. I died to a rouge throwing me in the water at Lionsbeach, Probably rightfully, too. But why do I deserve to go back, you may wonder. Well, I don't really know myself. I," he paused as his mate flashed through his mind. "My death caused me to leave the one thing I loved most. My mate. Applebees. I was foolish, but she was what kept me going. If I had knew I had such little time left, I would have done all I could and live my life to the fullest. With her. But instead I was scared with all this pressure put on me, and I know that was very wrong of me. You may be afraid that if I go back I will neglect life again, but I truly will live it the most I can. I want another chance to live. Leave happy, and without my regrets in my mind. If i have another chance i will do what makes me happy in hopes that when I die again, I will be able to live with it. But right now, I cannot, and it is a very big burden for me to bear," And of course he was rambling on. But he needed to explain himself. Why he deserved a second chance. Now all he had to do was hear and answer their response. |

Cliffjumper He/Him - 25 Moons in life - 2 Moons in death As much as it pained cliffjumper to admit, there was truth in Lichenflood's words. He turned to daisypool. "What would make me happy..." He thought for a moment, his heart aching for his mate in the living world. "Being at home. Being by the River, hunting with my mate for RiverClan. Being surrounded by my family. My Clan. That is what would make me happy." Cliffjumper pondered for a moment, giving him a chance to stop the tears welling in his eyes. He took a deep breath, fluffing up his brown tabby fur. His amber eyes flickered between the two cats. "Being here in StarClan has taught me something. Death can come quicker than you expect, Starsdamnit there are kits here! Kits who barely had a chance to live! And what have they done? Decided to stay here. Because they want to. Me? I'm older compared to them, and I treated my life foolishly. Being here for the past two moons has given me a chance to reflect. Recognize my errors. My many errors. All of that lead me back to why I am here. I want a second chance to live. A second chance at life, at love, at duty. And above all, I want to live again. And I mean live. Feel the wind in my fur, hunting prey, fighting alongside my clanmates in battle, knowing that I may die again. Knowing that no matter what, they have my back, and I will have theirs," Cliffjumper concluded, a fire burning in his amber eyes at this point. |

Dewkit steps forward, a tiredness in her form as she approaches, but otherwise it does not show on her face. Truthfully, she does not know much about Cliffjumper, or the life he led, and the context she is given in what she had heard has done little to fill her in on the details. At a glance, Cliffjumper is an adult who wasted their life, and their opportunities to do the most that they could. Who did not seize their chances when they were given. But she reserved judgment for after she'd heard everyone say their piece. She listened intently to Cliffjumper especially, and all that he had to say. And when all was said, she took the time to think over it all, to give a fair judgment. "You have a simpler desire than most, one far more achievable than the grand designs others might try to promise us. In the end, I do not think that simple gains you favour for a chance to return, however." Dewkit allows herself to sit, and wraps her tail around her paws as she stares the adult down. "You have desires and wants and wishes, but so does everyone else that dies. You lived a fuller life than some are given a chance to. You were given chances that not everyone is allowed. I do not just mean the kits and the apprentices, either. You were given a prestigious rank among your Clanmates, and you died in service of your Clan, an honorable death." The dignity to die in battle was not one that everyone was given, and certainly not while protecting one's Clan. She was conflicted, but she leaned towards a no, even now. "The others have already asked you about your plans for life, and you expanded upon them. I do not have my own questions, so I offer my earlier musings instead for you to think about. You had a good life, from my understanding. You had cats that loved you. You were entrusted to protect your Clan, and as tragic as it was that you died so soon, you died pritecting your Clan, and your loved ones. Your life was good, and it concluded well. Returning would not ensure you anything, and you may well return to things worse than you left them." Dewkit pauses, allows her words a chance to sink in. She had much to say, even now, but she felt her point was gotten across in what she'd already said, save for maybe a few more things. "My judgement is not final, and I may be swayed still, but as I see it, it might be best for you to try visiting your loved ones in their dreams to say your final goodbyes, and to leave things as they ended: as well as they could have." Her opinion of his was certainly more positive now than they had been when she first stepped forward. [ @Bean , @ellie , @taillow ] |
