Holy Starclan! So many views after what started out as a small project. I'll do my best to keep it up!

So many of you had sent questions that after the story is done, I'll list a Q&A hoping to answer everyone's questions at once instead of having to retype...and retype...and retype...

Anyways thanks for the views! Send a review and let me know how everything is going (or if you want more action, romance, etc)!


Iceclaw awoke in a haze. Shifting his paws he stood up. Where am I? He looked around. Blinking and attempting to fix his view, the den opened up. Smelling of flowers, berries and bark, he shifted uncomfortably in the moss. What am I doing here?

"Oh Iceclaw is awake!" A dark grey tom padded in. He walked over to the scent of flowers and brought over an oddly shaped stalk. "I brought you some Burnet. It brings you strength." He continued. A small golden she-cat walked in after.

"He's finally awake. Have you checked to make sure he's okay?" She asked as she sniffed him. He pulled back.

"What are you guys doing? And who am I?" He asked, his head buzzing like bees. The dark tom's eyes darkened.

"You're Iceclaw of Windclan. You're a warrior who just helped to save our clan. Honeyfrost and I have been caring for you for a season as your medicine cats. Your skin and bones!"

"Why can't I remember?"

"What Troutpaw means to say is you suffered a severe blow to the head and lost your memory. We will help you, but it will take time." Honeyfrost sighed.

"Should we get started then?" He rumbled as he wearily stood up. Troutpaw and Honeyfrost each took a side of him and walked him out of the den. Cats looked up in surprise and began to race over almost immediately.

"Iceclaw your awake!" A dark tom mewed, yawning and showing his huge teeth. Behind him, two tortoiseshells purred and looked at him.

"Brother your awake!" The smaller one purred as she licked his cheek. I have a sister? "I have been waiting the days you'd wake up to go hunting with me like we did when we were apprentices. Do you remember me?" He shook his head. "I'm your sister Spottedstar."

"And I am your mother Sunstrike," The older she-cat murmured. "I could never have been more afraid or more proud, but what you did to save the clan was very brave. Acceptance, he thought happily. I can't explain why but I finally feel like I'm accepted. "Featherpelt has been worried sick!" Sunstrike interrupted his thoughts, "She has watched over you every day, and refused to leave your side. I had to get Lilypool and Stormpelt to get her out to hunt rabbit!" His stomach growled in hunger. "You must be hungry. Our old leader Crowfeather is preparing for a gathering but he knows your awake. Why don't you eat and I'll get Featherpelt." She licked his cheek before padding away.

"You know Iceclaw, there is something about you that seems happier now. More at ease." Honeyfrost tipped her head to the side as he ate.

"I don't know what happened before I woke up today. What was I like?"

"Easily aggravated. But now," She replied as she checked the cobwebs above his right ear, "The air surrounding you is a lot lighter, as if a great burden was lifted off of you."

"How long have you been a medicine cat?" He asked suddenly. "You seem rather wise, but are younger than me by a moon or so."

"I've been a medicine cat for two seasons now." She looked down. "My mentor died saving the clan, and made sure you were alive and well."

"That's the only thing I remember." He grunted as her eyes widened in shock. "I remember seeing one cat who told me it wasn't my time. I could hear some voices while I wasn't here but most of the time I felt her presence." Honeyfrost opened her mouth to speak when a thick grey she-cat raced down the slope.

"Iceclaw!" She buried his face in licks. "How are you feeling?"

"I am hungry but definitely not tired." He mewed. "What is your name?" And why do I feel so attached already? He wondered.

"Featherpelt. I am your friend." She sat down, pressing her warm fur into him; he enjoyed it.

"You smell a little different than the others." He noted.

"I was originally from Shadowclan. I came here and you were the first cat to welcome me, to trust me. But before now you were always grumpy." She noted as he slumped down. "I like the new you better. You seem at peace."

"So I've heard." He rumbled.

"Have you met Spottedstar and Darkblaze's kits?"

"Hey what do they mean Crowfeather is an old leader? Are they saying my sister is the leader now? And no I haven't yet." He tipped his head to the side.

"Crowfeather was our leader for many moons, if you could see the graying on his dark muzzle." Featherpelt joked, but became serious after a moment. "He went through a rough battle, and decided it was time to join the elders. Your sister is leader, but she wanted you to be deputy. So she appointed Sedgewhisker, one of the newer queens as a deputy until you'd awaken."

Deputy! He thought as he stood up licking his lips from the rabbit. I just started remembering everything! I can't care for all these cats! "But I'm not ready to do any of that." He voiced his thoughts aloud. "I don't know anything about the clan!" A grey she-cat padded forward and dipped her head.

"That's where I'll be helping you. I am Sedgewhisker." She mewed. "I'll teach you the deputy positions, but for now Spottedstar wanted me to give you a mentor to teach you how to hunt and fight again. We will meet her over by the nursery."

The nursery was a small den made up of stones, twigs and vines. Iceclaw padded inside, where a small brown and white she-cat sat by a black she-cat and a dappled grey. Tiny kits mewed inside, and the scent of milk was strong.

"Lizardclaw is your mentor for now Iceclaw. She is done kitting for now, and wanted to get back to warrior training. Her daughters Hazelpaw and Dapplepaw will help out as well.

"I am sure Spottedstar's kits will want to meet you too," The black she-cat mewed as she repositioned herself to accompany her swollen belly.

"Yes Nightwing, they are on their way now to help Iceclaw settle back into the warrior den." The gray she-cat rumbled. "Oh and I am Snowpelt; my kit Echoleaf trained a few days after you became warriors." Iceclaw nodded.

"So shall we begin training next halfmoon?" Lizardclaw stood up shaking her pelt; Iceclaw nodded in agreement.

"Get ready because this will take a lot of hard work!" Featherpelt chimed in. "I know you can do it; I'll help as you need me."

"I'm ready." Iceclaw's eyes shined, feeling like everything finally found its place.
