the medicine cat drifted further from his home territory, not within sight or scent of the oak forest he knew like his own whiskers, but close enough that he could return easily whenever he wanted to.
he knew the gathering was going on, but despite the fear and anxiety telling him to return, he pushed on further into unknown land.
a horrifying scent then plagued the area. from the trees, as the chill whipped across the lands, freezing the berries and fruits, burst a huge, black figure. it lumbered, screeching, with huge fangs, and wide shoulders, yet a gaunt face and concave belly. it's ribs gleamed in the moonlight, bony with shaggy black patches of hair hanging from it. its skin looked pale, like the color of the moon, scabby and flaky, showing in random between patches of hair.
for being so big, yet so frail, it barreled through the forest like lightning towards him.
it ripped across his flank, scoring its claws like razors down his side, and he let out a screech and raced away fast. while this nightmare creature was fast, he was agile. he pulled himself quickly up a tree, and with skill, jumped from one oak to the next, leaving the creature in the dust.
his pulse pounded in his head, and his right hind foot throbbed with pain. he peered at it, trying to place it down, but a cry of pain came from him and he quickly sat himself down. planted in the crook between a branch and the trunk, he breathed heavily, blood slipping from the ragged gashes in his side.
too fearful to make his way down, too painful to return to his clan, he only panted in the tree, fluid running from his nose and the corners of his eyes.
what was he to do now?
