Wraith eyed the patrol reentering the camp from a distance, watching them split up to their various dens and other affairs, as Nightclaw came up to him and Shadelight. "How'd it go?" growled Wraith. "Firestreak, an old time Thunderclan deputy confronted Snowstar while we were patrolling, and talked about how he disliked what the Clans were like now and how the Code was being broken and how poorly the Clan's being controlled and that the Clan will end up driving itself into the ground due to not following the code and..." Nightclaw stopped short. he knew that his father wouldn't be very pleased to hear what came next. he dreaded when his father looked at him, that gaze of absolute concentration and focus in his eyes again. "...And...?" he growled. "He said that as a rogue you were more likely to bend the rules than anyone else, and that the Clan was forsaken" meowed Nightclaw, not looking forward to whatever response came next. to his surprise, Wraith simply grunted. "I see...Apparently his time as a rogue has blinded him of the actions going on within the Clan...not to mention he failed to consider the fact that unlike him, i was turned a rogue against my will...thrown out by a Leader who knew nothing of leading his clan well, and a Deputy more interested in pealing victims apart than keeping her Clan safe. unlike him, i was never a true Rogue. an exile yes, but not a true rogue. what Firestreak fails to see is that i apply the benefits of the Rogue lifestyle to serve the clan where possible. he's a fool to judge before he sees and experiences it. Anyway. thank you for the report Night. i'll talk to Snowstar about the event later" growled Wraith. Nightclaw smirked slightly when he heard his father call him by his true name. there was something about having a single word name that made him feel good. he supposed it just made him feel more like what his father was. a cat that ran by two names, both known for similar traits and a few stunning differences. by the name Shadowsoul, he was feared due to his ferocious reputation as a Shadowclan cat who left no enemy alive, let alone healthy, and made sure his Clan moved efficiently and peacefully. he was seen as the second to attempt to unite the Clans, and the first to succeed. and he was famed for his achievement in bringing the long standing hatred between Shadowclan and Thunderclan to an end. by the name Wraith, he was known for his kind but placid personality, and his silent take on most situations, as well as his unpredictable patrol patterns when he actually did set himself up a small territory in his times as a Loner. he was known to be very kind towards those who deserved it, and brutally cold to those who brought forth that side of him. but one thing that stood true in all of those situations: his constantly planning and calculating mind, always thinking of another way to improve the futures of the Clans. and Nightclaw couldn't be prouder...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
