One and Only [Closed]

One down.. only a few more to go. He was lucky he supposed. Being able to speak with the first of his children, and then eventually gaining enough energy to reach out to the next. He was getting stronger here that was for sure, it was taking some getting used to though. The one eyed gray tom sat with his tail curled around his paws. The next of the children, Crowpaw, would be appearing shortly, and Starlingflare couldn't wait. Maybe one day he will be able to have multiple visit at one time.

The dark-colored tom woke to a place that radiated malice and hatred. Darkness and shadows enclosed the area from all sides, with twisted trees and dead grass set out before him. Also set out before him was a one-eyed cat, casually sitting, as if he were waiting. Was this a dream? Crowpaw took in the sights of the area, coming to a rather dreadful conclusion. He had been told of Starclan, but with Starclan, comes the Dark Forest. Was he truly there? It felt impossible, and yet, the descriptions he had thought were stories to scare him seemed to have come to life within his mind.

With a mental bet that this was that place, and that he would go grab more rocks if he were correct, Crowpaw padded toward the cat before him, coming to a stop a few tail-lengths before him. "What is this place?" The tom asked, getting straight to the point. He shouldn't have even spoken, should've just tried to wake up, but he was curious. He wanted his bet to be right.

"This is the training grounds, Crowpaw. This is where cats alike come to focus their skills and learn new fighting skills, but that isn't why you are here now. This was the only place I could bring you though." The silver tom said, keeping his tone friendly. "My name is Starlingflare, I was a warrior like you. Tell me, what do you know of your past?" He said, trading the apprentices question with his own.
