The day was hot, and even though the sun didn't reach the forest floor where Heronfeather padded steadily, his fur was still starting to clump from the humidity that surrounded him. The black tom had been hunting for awhile now, and his breath was beginning to come short after the many crouches, leaps, and pounces. The tom needed something to drink, and where better to do it then at the Darkened Pools?
Heronfeather padded on, his paw pads being pricked by the dead needles that scattered the ground under the tall pine trees. He was used to it though, and it didn't bother him, it only ever hurt when one got lodged in your paw and wouldn't come out, now that was annoying.
Soon enough, the small pools of water were in veiw, glittering black in the shadows of the trees. This part of the forest was dark, even when the sun was high in the sky. The pools of water were begining to wither in the heat. A few of them were completely dry, but lucky for Heronfeather, others still held water in their depths. The ashen tom walked up to one and crouched by its surface, leaning his head over it. He could just barely see his reflection in the dark blue waters. His brown eyes stared back at him. The image of his father appeared in Heronfeathers mind as he stared down, looking at himself. He was growing up to look a lot like Pinethroat. The face features were the same, sharp and stern. Heronfeather held the same dark eyes his father had. His body was similar too, lean and thin, with long legs. He was the perfect image. Memories filled Heronfeather's head as he gazed.
He shook them away though, he didn't want to think about that now. He had other things to worry about, such as feeding his clan. Heronfeather let his pink tongue lap at the cold water, rippling the picture of himself, of his father. The water was refreshing as it slipped down his throat, and passed through what seemed like his whole body, cooling every inch of him. He sat for a moment longer, closing his eyes, feeling the tranquility.
