Dying cotton
Prologue
He clutched his prize. He sat down on the branch and admires it, allowing the apple to be illuminate by the wondrous moon. Night time added a different air to the forest: different sounds, smells and sights.
The slashing of blades against rocks. The taunting waft of honey in the air. The flocks of murkcrow that spelt out territorial messages from honchcrow. The caught his eye again.
(That really is a beautiful moon)
The Whimscot, called Whirlsniff, took a bite out of the fruit. He savoured the food, knowing full well that it could be his last meal for at least a day. The contestant pangs of hunger that plagued him gave him a sense of futility. He couldn’t battle, meaning that he had to keep out of the of the more powerful Pokémon. Heck, he couldn’t even squirm through small gaps, such tasks causing such pain that he wondered often whether he was ill. Certainly his mane of hair was turning grey and becoming messy. It smelt horrible, no wonder not many Pokémon liked to go near him. He was getting old. The days of being a young and glamorous Whimscot were over, gone like a distant memory in the corner of his eye. Sure he had some good times, with his buddies, stealing jewels and living wildlife. He’d married and started a family with Flintal and they lived on the Skyridge plains for half a decade. He’d had a daughter and a son. All was happy, until disaster struck, grapping away his paradise in one swift and evil motion. He was still bitter about it to this day. On the plains he had a reputation then to earn him a good life. In noirbranch, he was just another leaf blowing in the breeze, something to be picked and admired, than thrown away.
(Better get going, the gangs will start fighting soon)
The last thing he need was to get into a fight. He started to walk weakly across the branch, gripping on another gnarled branch of his home and pulling himself up. After much effort and straining he managed to pull himself upwards to the tree top. A honchcrow was perched on the branch, an air of coolness around him.
(Drat)
“Um excuse me? Could you move just for a moment? I need to get inside my house,”
Daster looked at him, boring his eyes into Whirlsniff’s skull. Whirlsniff flinched away, half expecting his eyes to be gouged out by that intimidating beak.
“Take my advice little one, keep in your tree tonight. Why? ‘Cause tonight’s a big night, where new gangs a show their process. I like to think that each event will be one where everybody follows the rules. Let me be frank with you, there will be some pretty maddened up characters. The kind of bastards who would maul you for looking at em funny, just hide in your tree and don’t come out until morning,” Daster explained, shifting his feet and allowing Whirlsniff in.
With a caw, Daster flew off. Whirlsniff watched him as he become a black dot near the moon. His heart heavy with Daster’s news, he slipped through the hole to his house, fear hammering in his breast.
