Story:
His earliest memory was of Bearstar, his grandfather, burying a soft-blooded kit alive.
The kit was born snowy white, and Bearstar had taken it without a word of protest from its mother.
He had gestured for the then three-moon old Wolfhaze to watch as he told the kit why it was being disposed of.
“It won’t survive. Too light.” Bearstar grumbled, gently putting the kit into the hole.
“This way it can feed the land, instead of using up our resources.” He continued, starting to shovel in dirt.
Wolfhaze watched in horror as Bearstar finished burying the kit.
“That’s what we do to soft-bloods. Understood?”
Still not sure how he was meant to react, he had merely nodded.
As moons passed, food grew scarcer. More cats went missing, and when Wolfhaze finally completed his vigil, Bearstar was waiting.
“It’s time to move on from soft-bloods.” He said.
“Now we hunt bigger prey.”
Wolfhaze-- by now used to his grandfather’s instructions-- followed his orders to the letter.
Bearstar would bring the rogues to the meadow above camp, and Wolfhaze buried them.
That was the way it was.
Until it wasn’t, and Bearstar was killed.
Until his own grandson-- Mousethistle-- decided to leave the prairie for the forest.
Wolfhaze followed, of course. What else could he do?
He would always be there for Mouse.
Just as Bearstar was there for him.
