Passionblaze’s toughest part on his body was the bulkiness in his legs. He always used them to defend himself. He always delivered a killing blow to his enemies with a simple kick in the right spot. His legs were powerful. The four of them could never be weakened as far as he was concerned. Yet, in the ranks of Starclan, receiving each life, he felt his four talents weaken like a jelly substance. His legs felt like soaked moss because receiving a life was not a delicate experience, albeit an honorable one. He could had passed out many times each time a shocking feeling settled into his veins and wanted to knock him out cold, but Passionblaze was a strong cat. Physically in manners, this shouldn’t had been nothing. In minor cases, he found pain to be a pleasurable experience. He definitely preferred something physical than emotional hurting.
He watched as the next cat stalked back among the Starclan warriors. Another approached him, sending off a kindness that Passionblaze happily returned. He widened his eyes to not appear much tired, and dipped his head to show respect to the elder. Obviously, he didn’t know her age. She didn’t look like her earthly corpse anymore. Instead, the Stars dazzled her pelt, giving her a youthful appearance. Something brighter and more cheerful. Starclan must make everyone better. Passionblaze acknowledges this curious theory when he looked around and stared at each Star-pelted cat for minimum seconds before directing his attention back to the one giving him his life. Introducing herself as Leafmask, Passionblaze listened to every word that came from her maw, keeping a light smile on his face. Passionblaze couldn’t speak right then and there. Being with such mighty cats made him feel unworthy in their presence. He showed his respect by bowing his head. He didn’t want to speak, afraid to mess up such a professional, loving tradition by stammering a mess. He still overwhelmed with the recent battle, then Snowstar’s resigning. He thought it was too soon, but Passionblaze was the cat that knew life didn’t have a timedate to it. It wasn’t planned, as most cats like the pleasure of doing with the rest of their moons. Everything was spontaneous, so if being leader was happening soon for him, then it must be. He’d get into the flow of leading a clan. He just hoped he wouldn’t fail Thunderclan. Leafmask’s compliment, lightened the tom up. If possible, made his fur brighter. He wasn’t used to receiving compliments as much, but he did appreciate any type coming his way. It made him more...confident, in a sense.
As Leafmask touched his head, Passionblaze closed his eyes to embrace the qualities and pain of this new life bestowed in him.
The life of compassion. It almost felt like a fluttering feeling that poured a mixture of ecstasy and strength within. It was a moment where each current life piece together as one and created an ultimatee weapon. When the she cat pulled away, the tom held a small smile, although the smile’s meaning was a lot more brighter behind the meaning. He wished he could ask for advice about leading a clan. Although built strong, what other qualities did a leader have? A
good one? Especially if he wished to be the best he could. No doubt, there would be future flames. Added more fire to get the flames to continue to burn. This was information that Starclan knew, but he didn’t want to trouble him with his doubts. He lacked faith in himself, but he stored faith in Thunderclan. Each and every warrior in his clan. A promise he made as deputy to make sure they thrived.
Leafmask had stood there staring at him. She looked like she had more to say than what she said. Passionblaze flicked his ears, wondering if she would talk to him soon. His eyes looked pleading;
give me some advice. Please. Any advice. However, she said nothing, and Passionblaze respected that. The only thing he noted was a wink from the ancient Thunderclan warrior. Oddly, that wink alone must had the power of confidence because he felt it seep into his body, invading his heart and giving him a more...determined faith in his future as leader.
