A delicate butterfly lands on Wolfpaw's nose, carefully, she blows it back up into the sky. Normally she would have marveled at it's beauty, but with the new kits it would quickly be torn apart. Wolfpaw was not a beautiful lioness herself, but she didn't mind, All she cared about was keeping others safe, and with the new border reports of Malum's ghost she was on constant alert, always making sure no cubs strayed from the den. Turning her attention back to the cubs she was watching while their mothers were out hunting, she recounted them for a sixth time. one... two... three.. wait! where was the fourth leaping from her spot she told the cubs to wait inside while she went and looked for seakit.
Bounding across the territory, following the kit's distinct scent, she entered a part of the territory she had only seen once before, when her foster mother had died. the graveyard. Seakit was sitting directly in front of a huge black stone. Malum's stone. Reaching paw forwards Wolfpaw dragged Seakit back towards herself. Looking back up at the rock, black mist materialized into a huge lion's shape.
Laughing the figure jumped down from the rock. Growling Wolfpaw leaped forwards into the lion slashing her claws in fury. to her surprise she passed right trough it. turning back around to face him again, she saw the lion circle around Seakit, slowly speaking to her, as if the kit would understand speech. "Hello little one" he said "im your great grandfather..." he looked up at Wolfpaw as he said the last word. "Malum." With a wide toothy grin he dissapered. and with him went seakit. Wolfpaw was furious. Roaring and Yowling she ran around the graveyard. "Seakit! Where are you?". Black mist formed Malum in front of her again. "don't worry, Seakit is safe," Malum sneered, " for now. I just needed a bit of leverage." Laughig he ran into the woods, disappearing a little more every step he took.
Later known as Wolfstorm, Wolfpaw becomes Soulpaw's, later known as Soulblaze, mate.
