Pounceclaw's Links
He has sworn everything to Hailstar. Without her, he would have nothing left.
She's baffled by Pounceclaw's unwavering loyalty, distrusting him because of it. She often sends him into the depths of the Dark Forest just to be rid of him.
Since he is in the Dark Forest, he's fated to never see Flowingleap again. He can't quite remember what his brother used to sound like.
He wonders sometimes what would have happened if the two of them switched places. If he had been a warrior, would he have been so viscerally loyal to Hailstar? Would he have seemingly gone mad with grief at his brother's death?
