Name: Blaze

Mate: Maria

PRE-Wildlife

Blaze was a calm and reserved tom, accustomed to the life of a stray, rogue cat. He was well known by other rogues due to his combat skills and intimidating appearance and presence. Scars alone were a sign amongst rogues that a cat could put up a fight and should not be messed with, so many cats tried to avoid getting on Blaze’s bad side. Instead, a number of cats showed respect towards the male, while those who challenged or threatened him were usually beaten down into submission.

He became mates with a beautiful loner named Maria some time after saving her from a fox. He was very fond and attracted to what he believed was her interesting and strong personality. What he also found interesting were the stories she told of a clan of cats she had once lived with for a short period of time. The concept of a clan or band of cats that trained kits and looked out for one another intrigued him, since he could imagine how efficient such a system would be.

Maria eventually had three male kits, one black kit named Slash, one white and grey kit named Haze, and one other black kit named Panther . Blaze felt immense love for his family, proud of having such a strong she-cat as his mate and excited that he’d be able to watch his own kits grow up into amazing cats. He looked forward to teaching them all he knew as well as watching them learn.

The day his kits opened their eyes, he was delighted to see that Slash and Haze had inherited his red eyes. However, upon seeing Panther’s green eyes, the most unsettling, overwhelming feeling hit him and practically shook his body. He couldn’t understand what the feeling was or why he had felt it, but wanting to convince himself that he was simply surprised, he covered up his reaction.

But the feeling never left him. Whenever he made eye contact with Panther, the powerful feeling would hit him. He then knew that something about his son was off. Blaze didn’t know if the feeling was an omen. Nonetheless, he found himself avoiding the subject entirely out of confusion and pride, not even sharing his uncertainties with Maria. He tried to ignore the strange feeling as well, but simply the sight of Panther made him feel wary. In the end he began keeping his distance from Panther, deciding Maria would know how to care for him best.

He was aware that he was being unfair, even a coward, but Blaze could never shake off his feelings,. Whenever he tried his best not to seem aloof or uncaring, just making eye contact with his kit made the attempts impossible. And even when Maria questioned his behavior, Blaze could never bring himself to talk to her about it, not knowing what could be possibly done.

While he trained Haze and Slash to hunt and fight, he began executing the idea of creating a clan with other rogues. It was a way to distract himself from Panther and he almost felt safer, putting together a group of strong, trusted companions. He chose to keep his plans a secret, wanting to surprise Maria once he had recruited enough cats and had an official camp set up. Blaze also made sure to tell Haze and Slash to keep the clan a secret from their mother.

Moons passed and Blaze had recruited enough cats to make a clan. Due to the respect he earned from the other rogues, he was able to claim the title of leader. He hoped that one day, once his kits were older and more experienced, they would be able to take his place and lead the clan together. Eventually it was decided that the fighters of the clan would be called “shadows”, due to their ability to be sly, slick, and agile.

The day Blaze discovered that Maria had been teaching Panther how to fight, the most panicked and fearful feeling hit him. It was almost as if he could sense a mysterious strength radiating from Panther as he practiced fighting moves. Confused and sincerely afraid, this led Blaze to confront and yell at his mate, not wanting Panther to train anymore. Even as Maria furiously questioned Blaze’s behavior and whether he truly loved her and Panther, Blaze simply cut off the argument, not wanting to come to terms with his fears.

Blaze gave himself time alone to think and question what was going on. He wondered if his fears were simply within his own head and if he was being weak and pathetic. Rethinking over his actions and behavior compared to Maria’s, he decided that he was exactly that.

The tom finally resolved to simply sit down with Maria and tell her the truth. However, Maria and Panther were nowhere to be seen, and he found out from Slash and Haze that Maria had died from a terrible fall and Panther had run away. Slash confidently claimed that they had done what Blaze had always wanted, which was to get rid of the two.

Horrified and grief-stricken, Blaze realized his mistakes and how he had been too late to make up for them. He ended up attacking Slash in a blind rage, screaming at him for his assumptions and actions, although he stopped himself before causing serious injury.

For a long while Blaze was detached and ignored Haze and Slash, unable to bare even looking at them. He also tried to get past his pain by immersing himself with building and leading his clan. But no matter what he did, he could not relieve himself of his guilt, or stop blaming himself for making Haze and Slash misunderstand his feelings for Maria and Panther.

In the end, Blaze handed off the clan to Slash and Haze, deciding he could no longer bare staying. The black rogue then left, never to be heard from again.
