Brightclaw237: Time for the forest arc final chapter! I only own the angel-hounds and the subspecies of angel-hounds.
"Brightshadow, what's wrong?!" Firestar meows as he runs over to the white and black furred wild-hound. "No!" He meows, seeing the body of Brightclaw. A soothing sweet scent then flows though the Thunderclan leader's nose. "Spottedleaf?" The flame colored tom meows, seeing the spirit of the former Thunderclan medicine cat.
"Do not worry, Firestar. She has just fainted, that is all." Spottedleaf meows. "But you must see to her wounds immediately, before it is too late." She meows.
"What do you mean?!" Firestar meows.
"Brightclaw received wounds that should've kill her, but something had kept her fighting. Brightclaw still can make it, but you must hurry!" Spottedleaf warns.
Cinderpelt soon limps over with a few of the apprentices and the other medicine cats. The apprentices run all over and collect the herbs that Cinderpelt instructed them to get. As soon as Brightclaw is stitched up, Yuki, Sparky, and Brightshadow lift Brightclaw up, and carry her back to camp. The other clan leaders walk over to Firestar, and dip their head in gratitude. Leopardstar is the first to speak. "Thank you for helping Riverclan in its times of need, Firestar." The unusually spotted she-cat meows. "If it wasn't for Brightclaw's help, we would died out long ago." Leopardstar meows.
"It is also thanks to Brightclaw that Shadowclan is able to rest in peace, knowing that our clan shall be free from calamities for a very long time." Blackstar meows. "Her brother had told Nightstar of her long ago, but we still did not trust him at the time." He meows. "Now that Brightclaw's kind lives in this forest, we shall all no longer be in fear of dogs or the twolegs." Blackstar meows.
Talllstar now steps up. "If it weren't for Brightclaw, we wouldn't have ever found our way back home." He meows. "You and Graystripe could not find a single Windclan scent at all in our camp, but thanks to you being Brightclaw's friend, she was able to locate a single scent out of the camp." Talllstar meows. "If it were not for Brightclaw and her friends, none of us would even be here." He meows.
Firestar dips his head in gratitude as well. "Yes, Brightclaw is one of Thunderclan's most loyal warriors. She is always willing to give her life to protect anyone, even if they are from another clan." Firestar meows. "The strange thing that I had discovered when I first met Brightclaw, was that she had smelled of twoleg." Firestar meows. "Brightclaw had told me that a bigger twoleg had taken her away when she was a kit, and somehow changed her into a dog." Firestar meows, and the other leaders become shocked.
"Are you sure about that, Firestar?" Talllstar asks.
"Yes, that is why Brightclaw is able to speak our language. She is also able to speak to twolegs, but most run away from her when she does." Firestar meows.
"That is very strange, but about the others?" Leopardstar meows.
"Yes, but it seems that only Brightclaw and a few of her friends used to be twolegs." Firestar meows. "I have seen Brightshadow transform into a twoleg right before my very eyes, as he brought my nephew back from a twoleg nest." He explains.
"Is Brightclaw able to do that?" Blackstar meows.
"No, Brightclaw told me that she lost that ability many moons ago. About the time when I first met her." Firestar meows.
"We shall be heading back to our camps and tending to our clanmates." Leopardstar meows, and the leaders let out yowls that signal their return.
Firestar notices that the wild-hounds are gathering the dead bodies of their fallen clanmates, and are preparing their burials. The flame colored tom then sends his clan to camp.
A quarter-moon later, the clans head to Foretrees and I am fully healed. My body mysteriously has healed overnight, and has no sign that I was ever in a harsh war. Surprisingly, Yuki, Brightshadow, Sparky, and Tangleclaw have no wounds or scars from the battle last night. Blackstar announces that Brightshadow is welcomed back to Shadowclan, and is allowed to see me at any time, but only to meet for family reunions. I encourage my brother to go back to the clan that he had originally joined, and he reluctantly agrees.
"Whoa, so you had a pretty rough life out there." Holt says.
"That is the understatement of the century." Brightshadow barks.
"What do you mean?" Rosie asks.
"That was only the part of my life from the forest." I bark. "My true struggles didn't start until returning from a journey to find a different place to find home." I bark. "Little did I realize that I was about to be thrown into a whole world of adventure for years while my body only grew by the time zone of Leo's dimension." I bark.
Brightclaw237: Sorry to leave you all in suspense right here, but I have to figure out which adventure Brightclaw heads off to after leaving the forest. She has been through numerous worlds that none of the other wild-hounds or angel-hounds have been to. Only in a few areas, Brightshadow is summoned by some sort of destiny related thing. Otherwise, Brightclaw is pretty much on her own for her journey.
