Runa: I wrote this as I realized "hey, wouldn't it be more interesting if Sharppaw was a more cold, grumpy character who's sick of everyone's crap compared to everyone else in the clan?" But I also want drama with him. So this might be him in his younger years? Idk yet.

The First Incident


Sharppaw and his mentor enter a cave in YacheClan territory. It wasn't too long before a light hit their eyes; another pokemon. A faelight pokemon. That wasn't unusual for the clan, but something told Sharppaw that this wasn't usual. To him, he had to rush forward and see what this was. 

"Hey! Wait!" his mentor cried as he ran after Sharppaw. "Wait for me!"

"I can't wait!" he told them. "No time to explain!" 

Once he got to the faelight pokemon, he stopped and growled. "What are you doing on YacheClan territory?" he asked. "You don't belong here!" 

Upon closer inspection, it was a mightyena.

"What?" the mightyena asked. "W-we're in your territory...? I'm sorry!"

"Get out. Now," Sharppaw demanded, stomping his paw on the ground. "You don't belong here..."

"I can't leave until I find my pack..." The mightyena pulled back their ears, their tail tucked between their legs. 

"I said, you don't belong here, get out..."

"Sharppaw," his mentor said stepping in between them. "Just let them be."

"Why? They're a trespasser!" Sharppaw said. 

"It doesn't matter. And besides, we should help."

"But-"

"No but's, Sharppaw. We help this pokemon. Whether you like it or not."

Feeling powerless, he sighed. "Fine...whatever..."

"Now...where do you think the others are?" the mentor asked.

"I don't know..," they replied, looking away. "I lost them while exploring..."

"Hm...let's go look for them. Your lights will be of great use!"

While they wandered the cave, Sharppaw had this feeling that it wasn't right; Why are we helping a trespasser...? We shouldn't be helping them...we should kick them out...pack or not, they don't belong here... He just couldn't shake the feeling off... I can't tell Wanderheart...they'll get mad at me...but isn't it breaking the Warrior Code...? I don't know anymore...

Soon, they found the pack. The mightyena ran over to the others and nuzzled them, happy to see them, tears running down their face. "I can't believe we found you!" They turned over to Wanderheart, a huge smile on their face. "Thank you so much! What is your name?"

"Wanderheart!" They smiled brightly. And then they looked over at their apprentice. "And this is Sharppaw!" 

"Wanderheart and Sharppaw! Thank you so much!"

The pack smiled brightly too. "Thank you for helping them!"

Sharppaw didn't feel proud, a frown on his face. Traitors...that's what we are...traitors to the code, traitors to the clan...we shouldn't have done this...

Runa: I guess I have to make Wanderheart now, huh?
