Chapter 25: Return to The Bending Tower

Ash's head hung low as he walked with the group back towards The Bending Tower. His feet squished against the wet leaves; it was raining, the clouds seemed to be crying in grief for the loss of Spots.
No one spoke at all. Everyone was upset. Ash kept hoping it was some kind of nightmare, but knew it couldn't be. Ash didn't want to believe Spots was dead, but he figured it wouldn't be likely it'd be possible to fall down a waterfall and survive.
Suddenly, the doors at The Bending Tower opened. Two of the young came through, giggling and laughing.
"Leafy, Aimee! What are you doing?" Zapada asked.
"Playing!" stated a black wolf pup.
"What Leafy said," nodded a white wolf pup, "We're playing?"
"But what are you doing out of The Bending Tower?" River questioned.
"Oh! Rainbow's having kits," replied Leafy.
Everyone turned to look at a brown male cat. He was wide-eyed. "My mate's having kits?"
"Yes, Amur. She was wondering when you'd come," Aimee stated.
The brown tom seemed to forget the grief everyone is, and ran inside The Bending Tower. Ash watched him go.
After Amur ran in, out came Feather. "Ah, you're back! How was it?" Feather asked.
Kabu stepped forward, and seemed a bit ashamed. "Feather, we... Lost Spots."
"Lost Spots?" Feather echoed, "What do you mean?"
"He's dead," Rusty said, sadness in his voice.
"Dead?" Feather was now wide-eyed, "How could Spots possibly die in a training session?"
"He swept downstream, down a waterfall," Eclipse told her mentor.
"Because someone had us swim!" Rusty growled, rounding on Kabu.
Ash held his breath. He expected Kabu to scold Rusty for being disrespectful, but to everyone's surprise, Kabu just sighed. "You're right... It's my fault." And he walked into The Bending Tower.
Ash stared after Kabu, feeling sympathy for the lion. Even Rusty looked a bit sad for him. The one animal who Ash had loathed the whole day, who snapped at other animals for being slow and not going fast enough, was sad with himself.
