The Fallen

part 1-prologue

Sparkys pov-
Light sun shone on the rich grass,glistening green as the drops of silver rain gradually paused,and the harsh wind slowed, until there was only gentle winds and only plump lazy clouds heaved themselves across the blue sky,teasing the brightness NY blocking it.
Sparky leaped towards a branch,scrambling against the damp bark towards his prey, before feeling the warm rush of blood fill his mouth,as his teeth scored the loose fur in the maralmes neck(maralme is a native squirrel with a small tail and large body).He bounded down the tree,racing towards bolt,beaming with pride.
"Well done son!Great catch!" He said,grinning at his son.
"R-really?!T-thanks!" Sparky smiled ear to ear with joy,almost tripping over the maralmes carcass.
"Yes!" He exclaimed before playfully chuckling,nudging his son on the side."and would make a fine meal for your girlfriend!"
"Ughh...Dad...she's NOT my girlfriend!" Sparky protested with a groan.
"Sureee....and I'm a dull mouse."

as they approached the gorse tunnel sparky paused to breath in the fresh scents of heather lathering the thickets that guarded the outside of the camp,enveloped by the succulent and distinct aroma of the packs camps outskirts. The familiar scent filled his nose, and was imprinted into his mind like the scent of his mother,the flowery aroma clinging heavily to the outside of the churned out soil and mud.

Sparky dashed towards Dawn,feeling a hot flush on his face,as he dropped the food at her paws,aware of bolts grin wearing down on his back.

"Heeeyy...I-I...I caught this for you!"He stuttered,washing his paw to hide his embarrassment,feeling the glow of a blush grow brighter on his face.

"Awww thanks Sparky-here!Let me tear it so we can share!"
Sparky slumped into a heap, grateful to rest his sore paws on the sunbaked earth. As they ate,sparky glanced around the clearing, gaining nostalgia at all the training he had done, before his eyes landed on their mentors; light and shadow were exchanging silent information on their apprentice's progress.
Almost lost in thought,he snapped his head back around to Dawn,who was still eating her half of the maralme. She tilted her head curiously,before sparky realized his amber eyes were clinging to her honey coloured fur."so...how's training with light?"
Dawn was taken back by the sudden question before quickly question."well...its been fine thanks!I was just on a patrol around granite packs borders,"she paused looking for the words to reply."How about you?Has shadow warmed up yet...? "
"Oh-uhmm...I mean trainings fine,I was just out with bolt on hunting..but shadows an old grump...He's nearly never there..like he wants nothing to do with me!" He almost broke down,feeling the warm sharp sting growing at the back of his eyes,Pressing his muzzle against the dusty floor,trying to disappear and save himself the embarrassment. Utterly distracted,he didn't notice Dawn stand,brushing her fur gently against his before pressing into his side sympathetically. Slightly shocked,he opened his mouth to say something before being cut off as Dawn murmured in his ear with a slight growl."Looks like someone ways to tell us something."
He looked up to see Light and Shadow approaching them,a grin planted in their faces,causing Sparky to shudder slightly.

"We have good news..."began Shadow in his gruff deep ,monotone,as sparky grazed his teeth together in fear against his tongue,stopping him from snapping as he felt the trickle of blood run down his throat,soothing him slightly.

"We're going to make you warriors!"Light interrupted,pushing past shadow,almost bouncing with excitement making even sparky feel joyful.

"W-what?!Really?!" The duo chorused in disbelief and happiness.
"Mhm,we told cresselina,so you better go hurry your butts,she's calling a meeting now. Rose is already there. Have fun kids!"
Dawn's eyes widened in shock as she swiftly ran into the sea of dralas after snapping her head around to sparky and yelling over her shoulder,"I'll meet you there,I don't want to late for the rituals!"
Sparky nodded before racing to mingle with the crowd.The ritual was about to begin.
