She/Her | Purrks Overlook

The sinking feeling in her gut only seemed to worsen, to become more prominent as Wolverine continued to speak, oh-so-casually placing down her worst of failures and serving it to her on a golden platter. What did it tell her, that she'd fallen so far? That she'd fallen from the elite so quickly, so effortlessly?

Her stance only stiffened, jaw only clenched, almost to the point of being painful, as her great-grandfather stripped her of her name. The name she'd earned, after spending moons in ShadowClan. The name she'd earned, the one Dawnstar, her mother, had given her.

Gone. It was gone, just like that.

And this time, Larkfire did not open her mouth to argue. She just stood there, silent, ignoring the raw ache in her chest, glassy amber eyes cold and unfeeling as she was sent back to the mortal realm.

"Bleeding burning skies." It was the first thing she said, cursing through gritted teeth, wheezing as the pain ripped through her body anew, practically choking for a moment before she spat out the blood that'd seeped into her mouth.

The heady taste of betrayal sat heavily on her tongue, a mockery of her faint hope. She was an utter, delusional fool, for thinking there was a chance of survival for any relationship with this so-called kin of hers; Wolverine. At least he'd crushed that hope from the start instead of letting it dwindle on and then ultimately letting her down like all the others had done. Maybe it was karma that followed her, because she'd been the one to let Fablespinner down.

Figures, that it was an endless cycle of no party ever being satisfied. That all these moons later, she was still letting everyone important down.

Fine, then. She would do this. She would drag herself the heck out of here, she would live, would thrive, because Wolverine wasn't wrong. She had lost her fire, but there was nothing that would stop Lostspark from getting it back. The world was dark once more, and her sight was lost to her once again, but she would fight that darkness at every turn, she would fight to let the fire within flare as it had before.
