With Frostpaw seemingly out of the picture, Splashtail needed a new ally in the medicine den to smooth his way to power. That new ally turned out to be Podlight, Frostpaw’s kin and the brother of Splashtail’s first ally Curlfeather. He quickly made his dedication to his new leader clear by lying to get him into power and laughing over Reedwhisker’s murder with him. Podlight is no master manipulator with an iron will, who could look StarClan in the eyes and refuse their guidance. Nor could he kill his Clanmates with his own claws. What he does have is a fierce resentment toward the other Clans for poking their noses in his Clan’s business – and that kind of fury without morals to guide it can be just as dangerous as a sharp set of claws.
