AN: Okay, so I know you're all distraught about Thunder's Echo ending, so I thought, well, how about their kits have a little day together to learn about their heritage? And this is what happened. Read on, my good friends.
Epilogue
Four moons later
"Duskkit! Emberkit! Blazekit!"
The three other kits looked at their slightly older cousins. They had grown since they were born (shockingly enough), and Blazekit was now bigger than Emberkit. Duskkit was the smallest; she still had to look up to see Emberkit. But what she lacked in size she made up for in attitude.
Mistkit and Ravenkit were bounding over from the nursery, a moss-ball bouncing between them. The three other kits caught the gist and joined the game.
From where they watched, Dawnheart and Breezepetal discussed their kits' parentage.
"They need to know at least part of their family is half-Clan." Dawnheart argued.
"Why not when they're older?" Breezepetal pleaded.
"Because I say now while their brains haven't been mixed up with half-Clan distrust. I want them to see it cleanly and clearly."
Breezepetal hesitated, then whispered, "Well, let's go. We can go to the Sky Oak."
The two queens rounded up their kits and mates and left camp. Presently they reached the giant oak tree and sat down.
The kits glanced around for a second, then began running around the enormous oak. However, their parents called them back. They sat down again, looking at their parents with curiosity.
"Kits," Breezepetal began, leaning into Nightstorm's shoulder. "We have to tell you something, and Dawnheart wants to tell you now, instead of when you are apprentices."
Dawnheart picked up the story. "Me and Nightstorm are half-Clan, which makes you guys quarter-Clan."
"Which other Clan?" Mistkit asked, cocking her head on one side.
"WindClan." Nightstorm said. "Our father was from WindClan."
"Well, that's not so bad, is it?" Emberkit asked. "At least it's not ShadowClan."
"True." Blazekit said, while Duskkit nodded fervently in reply.
"Will we be able to recognize him if we ever see him?" Ravenkit asked.
Nightstorm nodded, saying, "Yes, he looks just like me, and therefore you."
Ravenkit looked satisfied with this answer.
"So we're quarter-Clan, and this matters, why?" Duskkit asked.
"There are some cats out there that truly hate half-Clan cats. Think they're an abomination. We wanted you to know early so you can ignore them." Oaktail said, looking at all the kits in turn.
"Okay." they all replied at once, then fell about laughing about it.
Their parents glanced at each other, and Dawnheart said, "See? No problem."
AN: Okay. That's it. So endeth my story, Thunder's Echo. BUT DO NOT DESPAIR, FOR THIS VERY DAY I AM BEGINNING A NEW STORY! IT MAY BE LAME! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Reviews answered:
The Huntress of the Shadows- This is a sequel. And tell Tigerstar if he comes close to me I will order upon him the demonic leader and pharaonic deputy of FieldClan!
RainEpelt- YES! I have another story for Warriors. And one for AtLA. And one for Ōkami. And- yeah, you get the point.
Cherrydawn5- Please, spare me. At least the kits aren't too judgmental.
Spottedmask12- The prophecy was fulfilled. Remember how I said in the first prophecy "the black bird threatens always with love", then here I said "For Dawn beware the Oak"? That meant love. I TOTALLY FORGOT ECHOBREEZE'S POWER, SO FORGIVE ME! Nightstorm was lonely until he realized Breezepetal loved him so much. There. I MIGHT make a few little one-shots about this story and these characters, but it all depends.
I'm sorry it's ending, but I feel the inexorable need to move on. Plus everything that happened happened, so I just need something else.
I'm so happy you all loved it, but please, I just need another project. I promise to keep writing- you can still find me in other fandoms. And I'm not leaving Warriors, I have lots more. So just chill-ax. I have lots more planned.
Keep reading and don't rot your brains too much, my lovely readers and wondrous friends.
