Thundershock nodded, "If that's what you want honey." It slipped out so casually he didn't realize he said it until it was too late. He stood there hoping that it wasn't as weird as it sounded.

Asher side eyed Thundershock, but not in a bad way. She'd chuckle a bit as she looked back at the Badger. "Do you have a name." She'd ask the badger as He nodded "Yes, my names Relco..." The badger said as Asher smiled. "Relco...It has a nice tone" She'd say.

Tenebrous made his way back to the ruins of the once great DarkfireClan. He took off his armor and began to examine and treat his wounds, having been a Lily in his younger years. Luckily his bark armor blunted most of the damage but Asher had left deep ruts and holes in the plates. Sighing to himself, he knew what must be done.

He knew of the rare plant native to Darkfire known as the Bloom of Frenzy; indeed, it was abundant during the reign of his father Lord Obscurion. He knew the strength the plant could give him. He also knew of the insanity that plagues those who consume it; the insanity that led to the exile and fall of his Clan. But he did not care, he believed it was time for those who banished his clan to the forgotten depths of the woods to be reacquainted with the dark fire that gave the clan its name. He proceeded to gather what little of the Bloom remained in the abandoned capital of Darkfire and brought it before his throne. With all the necessary materials gathered, Tenebrous began to perform a long forgotten ritual. He used his blade to open up a small wound on one of his paws before crushing up the crimson blooms, placing them into his wound and chanting in the ancient language of Darkfire.

"IGNIS OBSCURUS, DA MIHI IMPERIUM ET VIGE ITERUM"

Having issued this command, Tenebrous' wounds began to heal, his blade began to glow more intensely as more power was channeled into it. A red aura began to envelop the altar as the last son of Darkfire gave in to the same vice as his ancestors.

A famished vulture that was passing over Darkfire in search of rodents to consume was caught in this scarlet mist of the Frenzied Ritual. Having also been overcome by the powers of the Bloom, it was put under the thrall of Tenebrous and quickly descended down to await orders from its new master.

Acknowledging the bird's servitude, Tenebrous decided to use it as a mount and means of transportation to execute his revenge on those who wronged him so long ago.

"I shall name thou... Nebulus" Tenebrous spoke to his new servant before taking to the sky on its back ready to renew his incursion into the other clans

Asher looked up into the sky and caught the look of red smoke in the sky, it seemed to come from Darkfireclan. Asher muttered the words. "What is he up to now..." She'd say as she got up and looked at Thundershock "Go, Go to clan base. Warn them of a war that Tenebrous is to cause, we'll be ready for his arrival..." Asher said as Thundershock looked a bit hesitant but ended up leaving with Relco.

Asher waited till Thundershock and Relco were far away before she looked back at the smoke. "You could've just came back...You could've just...." Asher muttered as shook her head. She understood why he was acting so, so crazy. He and his family were exiled from lightningclan and banished to Darkfireclan, denied the right to really live. Denied the right to eat properly, denied to sleep without worry that something would happen. Tenebrous's clan ended up dying in all. Only about 6 of them left, 5 of them to weak to move an inch.

Galaxydrop thought they were gone, so she reappeared with a small sigh.

---

Moonberry "I smell a badger! Where is it?" faces the completely wrong direction to where the badger is

---

Whilst going on a walk, she accidentally bumps with Moonberry. “Ah! So sorry!” she says, not realizing who it is. Heal Mask hides behind Galaxy in fear.

---

(my teacher appeared behind me I'm spooked TwT)
Moonberry turns in the direction of Galaxydrop. "Have we met before?"

---

* takes a nap*

Once Thundershock brought Relco to camp, he did a 180 and headed back to Asher. He couldn't just leave her alone in the forest knowing some lunatic was out there.

---

Galaxy suddenly remembers that this is the cat she hit before whilst with Tease Mask. “Wait… you’re the one I hit! I’M SO SORRY ):” she said to Moonberry.

---

RiverHeart *finally wakes up* (weird mask thingy put him to sleep while on a tree and he fell down into thorn bush breaking both right paws, his front left paw, and getting utterly torn up by thorn bush while also unconscious from mask power) "huh? WHA- WHERE- oh I'm in the medicine den, what... What happened? Why does everything hurt?"

---

Lilly "You fell out of a tree..."

Meanwhile, in CoralClan (when will I get added to CoralClan palpad), Rujo was swimming in the river to cool off.

---

RiverHeart "oh, I remember that stupid mask thing hitting me in the head, then nothing- why was I in a tree in the- oh right, the thing with the mask." (when will I get added to coralclan and lightning clan palpads?)

*RapidStream is swimming around because he has nothing to do and doesn't want to talk to others*

Asher sighed as one of the lord's came down, not sure who it was, she walked up to the ghost. "I'm falling apart, The skin is burning off my bones and all you can do is stand there?!" Asher said a bit frustrated. ('What she said is not literal ins a metaphor for how she feels ) The lord before her stood there, it shook it's head. "If I could, I would help out.. Though, I am just a ghost.." The cat had spoken. Asher looked down. "I-I I can't live with this the... visions... What do they mean?? Are they true?! Is there a brighter side of things?! Will we survive?!?" Asher had asked as The cat nodded. "Those Visions are real, they are to warn you about the near future.... Luckily, The clans will come together, To fight..." The ghost cat said, walking around Asher. Asher's eyes followed this cat. "Fight what?!" Asher asked. "That's something for you to find out in the future.." The 'lord' had said as the cat stood there. (Sorry I can only add y'all by computer cause of everyone on there and I would have to zoom out and I have no computer ATM)

---

Suddenly Heal Mask appears in front of Moonberry.

---

Moonberry "You don't smell like a cat. What are you?"

---

Thundershock was almost to the place where Asher was when he heard her speaking with someone. He stepped out but didn't see anyone but Asher. "Are you okay?" He asked as he came up beside her and sat down. Noticing her wound was getting worse he said, "We really need to get you to Lily before your wound gets any worse."

Tenebrous, realizing that the other clans may have noticed the red mist emitted by the Frenzied Ritual, proceeded to gather all the leftover Blooms of Frenzy along side anything else he might need into a pack that he carried with him as he mounted his new minion, Nebulus. His goal was to relocate to a different area of the forest before the other clans made their way to Darkfire, for, even with the ritual, he was not unstoppable. What he needed was an army of his own, one that could stand up to the other clans. As he took flight, he recalled how Nebulus was ensnared by his will during the ritual. Perhaps he could replicate the process with other creatures to gain a veritable horde of mind bound servants. Servants used as tools to execute his revenge.

Asher looked at the smoke as it suddenly disappeared. "He's up to no good.... When we get back to clan, I'll call a meeting to get us ready for what might be war... Do you mind bringing Coral clan over... Since we have an alliance with them, they must know too..." Asher had said to Thundershock.
