I told Shatteredsun that I did not like him in that way, and that I liked Wolfpool, and he, he knew that at that time, Wolfpool was a dry paw. Shatteredsun was angry that I liked wolfpool but he was good friends with wolfpool so he decided that I wouldn’t like Wolfpool as much when he was floundering around stupidly. And he could help his friend to not completely hate water, but I saw him push Wolfpool into the river. I dived in after Wolfpool, and dragged him back to shore. Shatteredsun limped over to us, and I scolded him for doing that to Wolfpool, but Wolfpool wanted revenge, and Wolfpool knew Shatteredsun’s biggest secret and used it against him. Now Shatteredsun sees nothing of that old friendship and is hungry for revenge. He dragged Beestrike into it. Listen, beestrike is a good cat, he follows his brother too much though, I’ve seen Beestrike fish, he is brilliant, and kind. His brother is trying to corrupt his soul sith the need for revenge, but Beestrike isn’t totally changed yet, we can still help him, and change shatteredsun’s Mind. I am sorry that I know nothing of shatteredsun’s big secret. I wish Shatteredsun would just let me help instead of focusing on his revenge.” Shimmerskip looked at Wolfclaw with a sorrowful look, she felt completely torn, should she help the cat who scarred her, or leave him to destroy her ex-mate, who was broken enough as it is.

Wolfclaw was completely silence and looked out at the river as it rushed by, the shecat beside him finally bringing some light to all this drama. His ears twitched now and then as he processed all that Shimmerskip said, through this tale of friendship, love, jealousy and ending with hungry, raw revenge. It sounded like something an elder would spit to some kittens who were thirsty for some late night stories before bedtime. The large warrior knew a thing or two about cats being corrupted within their minds through emotion pain and such else. He had watched someone close to him once be driven close to madness because of the ones in their past. Such was not a pretty sight for both ends of that and he knew that his family and friends would be proud if he was able to prevent another cat from losing their head and ending a cold drama within this clan. Out of the corner of his gaze, Wolfclaw saw Shimmerskip look at him, such sorrow and pain within her eyes, which made his own heart feel heavy with a burden - one that he had voluntarily put onto himself. “Well, how would we get Beestrike away from his brother in order to talk to him about all this between the three of us?” The maine coon asked, tail twitching from beside him, “I think that would be the easiest way to start out with fixing this mess.” The scarred warrior looked off to the trees for a moment, silently asking someone if this was the right thing to do, but nonetheless, perhaps he was just not used to helping others.
