She had seen what they did to the areas around them, had been around when the tyrannical fox known as Jervis was leading, had watched clanmates get snatched up and forced to stay in dark caves in the desert, and had even been captured herself while she was pregnant. She hated the Pitt, hated everything they stood for. And then she died, and things changed. Atticus had moved to the Pitt, and when she had come back, she had gone to visit him, and stayed with him for a few days while she made sure he was okay, and that he would be doing fine there. She had met Sweeney when she was there, and watched how happy the two had made each other, and she could only be happy that her son had found a friend in the place she had loathed so much.
But she no longer loathed it, as she had family there, and it had seemed to change, at least for the most part. She had never wanted Atticus to come to Tanglewood to stay, only to simply visit once in a while, and the longer she was there, the worse she felt. He had come back home with her to make sure she was okay, and to visit his family once more, so that those within the swamp knew that he was fine, and things had turned sour. The new loathing Moth felt within her chest was directed at the Coalition now, and Stryker, a lion whom she'd met once before, and had only heard about what he had done. She had thought that time over a year ago, him begging to be able to join Tanglewood would have been the last time she saw him. She wondered now what would have happened if he had been allowed into their ranks. Would he have tried to take over and turn Tanglewood into a rotten place as he had done to the Pitt when he had reign there, or would he simply have withered away as a peaceful clanmate with those happy to have him around surrounding him.
It was too late for that now, for wondering what could have happened.
Moth had wandered over to the border, her daily walks around the territory of Tanglewood bringing her to this spot almost every day, as if she had been waiting for something. Either her son to escape or Sweeney to come, for Moth had known that eventually the kitsune would come to check in on her friend. But what Moth saw at the border surprised her. Sweeney, being attacked, and Atticus just standing there watching as Aurum lept forward towards Stryker. It alarmed her, and caused her stomach to twist into knots. The healer didn't know what to do as confusion churned within her, and soon the leopard leapt forward, aiming to take a hold of Atticus and Sweeney, trying to get the smaller creatures away from the scuffle at the border, trying to make sure they were okay.
