The camp was filled with water

Rowanclaw rushed through all of his cats

The deputy's green eyes filled with worry

Tawnypelt and Crowfrost worked together

Getting cats to get out of shock

Where is Blackstar?

Rowanclaw turned around and looked at Mistcloud

Her spiky fur was spikier than ever as it was wet

Rowanclaw sent Sparrowtail, Mudclaw, and Tigerheart to look

Is Blackstar dead?

He can't be!

I'm not ready to be leader!

How can I lead us out of this?

Tawnypelt came up to her mate

He loved her

But her comfort was not enough

How can I do this?

Why, Blackstar?

Crowfrost went after the patrol as they weren't returning

The sun sank into the trees

The patrol returned with a large, white body

Rowanclaw's eyes filled with horror

He could not be leader!

He saw Dawnpelt's amber eyes, filled with worry for her leader, father, and kits

Tigerheart had his head down in sorrow

Tawnypelt pushed up against Rowanclaw

Littlecloud began to prepare the body for burial

The ground would be too wet to bury

Blackstar's body would rot like ShadowClan

How can I lead us out of this?

How?

Flowerstem approached Rowanclaw

Are you okay?

He looked at her

He saw the scared look in her eyes

I can do this

I have to do this

We will come back

The suffering is over

ShadowClan, we will be great once more!
