It had been a couple moons since the death of Brokenstar and the exile of his followers. Shadowclan was rebuilding, they weren't completely back to normal but they were doing their best.
Sliverstorm had went to the moonstone and was grated nine lives and became Sliverstar making Lichenfang her deputy.
Houndtooth and Thornblood were given a choice to go back to Thunderclan, Houndtooth accepted the offer while Thornblood politely declined saying he was home in Shadowclan.
When the clan found out Spottedleaf had nearly died and they killed Clawface in vengeance they cheered his name. It made him feel 10 fox-lengths high hearing them call him brave. Tiger-roar's comment of him being a cold killer sent a great chill down his spine but he actually liked the sound of that. Spottedleaf was still recovering but she would live, though with speaking problems.
Lionheart had survived longer than the clan thought he would. But things happened unexpectedly, at least thought so. A fox got into camp, it took Lionheart and killed him, that's what the clan thought.
-Flashback-
Icebelly caught Lionheart's scent by the Owl tree. It had been difficult since it had started raining. They saw Lionheart close by in a slightly dug hole, the fox wasn't here.
The wounds Lionheart bore were too deep and his previous wounds had opened as well. They doubted Lionheart would make it to camp.
Lionheart was wheezing, the light in his green eyes was barley there. He didn't want the clan to do know about this, it needed to look like the fox did it. He took hold of Lionheart's neck from the back. He did a swift snap, the cracking of bone made the fur on his spine shiver but it didn't sicken him.
He's seen this kind of thing before.
In Bloodclan, this was a way to end a cat's suffering when nothing could be done. They brought kits to twolegs so they could be treated because an illness like greencough could easily be taken care of by the humans while injures like these, the needed to be put down.
He didn't know why the clans were so uncomfortable with the idea. If a cat can't be treated they should put it out of it's misery than make them have a slow agonizing death.
They started dragging Lionheart's body, he noticed Nightshade looking at him. She most likely saw what happened, he expected her to yell or attack him. She didn't do either of those things.
She wore this look that could unsettle a dog, she was a deadly as her name sake. "Let's go" was all she said as she turned away.
He knew better and didn't argue.
-Flashback ends-
Redtail had been named deputy, for the past two moons he's been doing very well. He even let the younger warrior lead lead patrols. He wouldn't have thought much if not for Raveneye talking with him.
-Flashback-
Raveneye padded over to him, his fur looked frazzled "Hey Icy, can we talk?"
Icebelly lifted his head from his vole "Sure"
Raveneye lead them outside of camp. They stopped when they reached the Owl Tree. Raveneye couldn't help but bury his face in Icebelly's fluff "I think Tiger-roar had something to do with Thrushpelt and Leopardfoot's deaths and Lionheart getting almost killed by Brokenstar and the fox attack"
Icebelly felt the same thing when back moons ago they both thought Tiger-roar was responsible for Thushpelt's and Leopardfoot's deaths. It made Icebelly slightly sick to think that Tiger-roar would want to kill the cats that raised him since he had a good relationship with both of them. He had pushed the feeling down because he had other issues at the time to deal with.
He didn't tell anyone what happened that night, except Bluestar in case it came back to bite him. Bluestar had said nothing then, she only told him in a cold tone to leave her den. She didn't exile him so he wasn't too worried. Patchpaw had been resigned to Tiger-roar. There was no way in hell he would ever tell Graystripe.
"You remember the look the two shared when Thrushpelt and Leopardfoot were killed"
"Yeah, you tried to wave it off calling Thrushpelt weak"
Raveneye looked away, ears flat "I'm a little skeptical of this myself, Lionheart was one of his mates and Thrushpelt and Leopardfoot raise him as well as Rosetail but I think he planned her death too"
Icebelly hummed "I'll look into it"
Raveneye seemed surprised he agreed to easily "How?"
Icebelly slowly licked Raveneye's ears "I'm his former apprentice, I'll find a way"
"Just do it before something happens to Redtail or something"
-Flashback ends-
Cinderpaw had recovered after dealing with a small bout of greencough. He advised the apprentice to be trained under Deadfoot in Windclan for the time being, to get used to life on three legs, Bluestar agreed with the idea as did Duskstar. Though what made him sick was that he heard some clanmates call Cinderpaw weak and himself as well for his sight and hearing issues.
Things have happened throughout the past two moons.
Bluestar had apparently made an agreement with Stormstar and gave him Aspenkit to raise while she kept Maplekit. Aspenkit had been renamed to Shellkit.
Goldenflower had birthed: Tawnykit and Bramblekit. They were only a two moons old but growing strong. Wrenkit manged to fight her greencough then and had been apprenticed under Swiftrunner.
Brackenpaw, Lynxpaw, Snowpaw, Seedpaw, and Volepaw became warriors: Brackenfang, Lynxfoot, Snowfeather, Seedspots, and Voletail. Swiftpaw had been injured in the battle and had to wait. He should be getting his warrior name soon.
Rookslash had been gravely injured in the battle, to much for a medicine cat to do. Bluestar already knowing what he would do with a cat in this state and had demanded him, in private to take her to twolegplace and he did, with Bluestar accompanying him.
Ashkit and Fernkit became apprentices under Duststorm and Sandstorm respectively.
Cloudkit, Creamkit, Meadowkit, and Cottonkit became apprentices recently. Cloudkit got Bluestar, Creampaw got Robinwing, Meadowpaw got Willowpelt, and Cottonpaw got Seedspots. It had been found out that Cloudpaw was deaf, many members of the clan of thought about bringing him to twolegplace for his deafness. Snowfeather had threw a fit at their audacity and asked Bluestar to train her son but Bluestar did her one better and named Cloudpaw her apprentice. Snowfeather was a white cat with blue eyes, some called her lucky.
He's been hanging around Tiger-roar and his little posse of Nightshade, Miststirke, Darkstripe,Robinwing,Chestnutclaw, Fogtail, and Duststorm. He had been occasionally hang out with them before but slowly spent more time with them, Tiger-roar did often ask to sit with him and Icebelly agreed out of boredom or wanting to know what happened with this cat. Nightshade seemed to keep her eyes on him, if she was trying to scare him it was working only by a little and he would never let her know that.
He did find out that Tiger-roar, Nightshade, and Miststrike's father left the clan to become a kittypet. They looked ready to kill him when he told them he actually knew Pine from his kithood. He definitely learned from that and didn't tell them that had a brother, Chocolate.
He was walking with Tiger-roar right now. Him and Duststorm had been sharing tongues in the warriors den and lowly hissed insults when Redtail called him for a patrol. The rain hadn't stopped for the past 5 days. The patrol contained, him, Tiger-roar, Nightshade, Redtail, Chivepaw and Owlpaw. They were near Sunningrocks.
"Are we taking it back or just passing?" he asked Redtail
"Leaf-bare is almost over but it isn't gone, we need as much prey as possible" Redtail replied
"Those fish-faces don't deserve it if they are just going to lay on it all day" Chivepaw sneered
"Let's make this quick and simple" Tiger-roar advised, tail-tip twitching "We don't want more death"
"Or look like cowards" Nightshade growled "Not like Thrushpelt, at least Rosetail could get things done" She spat out Thushpelt's name like bile.
"Of course not" Chivepaw mewed, rolling her eyes "Redtail knows what he's doing"
Redtail raised his ginger tail for silence. Icebelly saw a Riverclan patrol coming over. Rainclaw was leading it, he saw Sunscar, Leopardfur, Mudbelly, Condorwing Lakewillow, Beetleshade,Grasswhisker,and Frogleap.
Redtail padded to the edge of the slope they were standing on. "These lands belong to Thunderclan" he spoke loud and proud, no sign of fear.
"That's a laugh" Sunscar cackled
"R..Redtail we're outnumbered" Owlpaw stuttered
Redtail seemed to ignore all replies "Stand down it will not end well for you"
Rainclaw's ears were pinned to her head "Never" she hissed
"Death is their wish" Chivepaw drawled
Redtail walked to the patrol, they made way for him. The tortie stopped and turned back and hissed "Thunderclan attack!"
They all obeyed.
Icebelly bit into Grasswhisker's shoulder and dug his claws into the tabby's shoulder. He tossed the fish-dung like bones. Sending the tom tumbling to the side, sliding with the mud. Chivepaw pounced, Grasswhisker bit the brown and white molly's ear and began another brawl.
While his sense of hearing went through the sky with horrid ringing sounds, his sense of feel didn't change. He stepped to the side, Condorwing hit the ground face first, his upper half skidding with the mud with his lower half in the air.
Icebelly smirked as he pinned the fellow albino down. "Not bad" Icebelly chuckled "But you'll have to do better than that Condorwing"
Condorwing coughed "Not my fault my eyes were acting up" the younger tom was slashing his back legs with his lower claws. He didn't really hurt.
"Excuses Excuses" he purred, he'll admit he likes to toy with his opponents, Condorwing was no different. He got off him "Go"
Condorwing nodded and dashed away into the fray. Beetleshade was fighting Owlpaw. Leopardfur and Nightshade were locked. Tiger-roar was in a brawl with Lakewillow Sunscar, and Mudbelly.
Icebelly spotted Redtail and Rainclaw dooking it out. Rainclaw had Redtail pinned down at one point "Give up Redtail"
"Never" the tortie tom spat
"Just as stubborn as your mother" Rainclaw growled
As Icebelly struck Frogleap across the nose, he noticed a large rock start to fall towards the deputies. He rushed as fast as he could to warn them but it seemed Rainclaw noticed as well. The gray molly's throat had been slashed open but with the last of her energy she shoved Redtail out of the way. The loud screech of pain and crack of bones rang through the clearing.
Icebelly went to Redtail's side, the tortie's wounds looked deep. "Redtail?"
Redtail stared at the rocks that had Rainclaw buried underneath. "I cut through her throat and yet she-". Redtail stood up with a jolt "We're ending this now"
Icebelly followed Redtail as the deputy leaped up on a smooth but long rock. "Rainclaw is dead!"
The Riverclan cats froze at the news. "Retreat!" Leopardfur called
The patrol cheered as they watched Riverclan retreat.
"Everyone head back to camp" Redtail mewed, he was still on the rocks, close to the water
"We should have a feast" Owlpaw purred
"I get the squirrels" Chivepaw laughed racing the brown tabby back to camp. Most of the patrol following. Icebelly had a feeling, seeing Goosefeather gazing to Sunningrocks definitely added to that. He doubled back to Sunningrocks.
He saw Redtail but he also saw Tiger-roar and Nightshade.
"That was awesome, didn't need help either" Redtail purred
"Only because you had me,Icebelly, and Tiger-roar to back ya'll up" Nightshade hissed, she wasn't exactly wrong. Tiger-roar and Nightshade were Thunderclan's best warriors beside their sister, Chestnutclaw, and Icebelly apparently. Some cats could argue he was giving Tiger-roar a run for his name.
"That was reckless Redtail how could you even agree that was a good idea when we were outnumbered and the apprentices could have died" Tiger-roar's lip curled in a snarl.
"We won but at the cost of death" Redtail replied "Rainclaw, she saved my life"
Nightshade unsheathed her claws, her green eyes narrowed "What a waste"
"Tiger-roar? Nightshade? what is this?" Redtail growled
"Just as the stars told" Goosefeather mewed in his ear
"You plague this clan, too soft" Nightshade spat the last part like a hairball
"I'm the true leader of this clan, I won't make it soft" Tiger-roar added, his long front claws out "You get a choice, leave or fight"
"Leave?" Redtail said like these two cats were crazy
"I'll get Patchpaw and Lightpaw for you Redtail, just leave and don't come back" Nightshade mewed, she was closer to the tortie.
"Make your move Redtail" Tiger-roar said simply
Redtail seemed to be realizing something when his amber eyes widen in shock and horror "You two planned Thrushpelt and Leopardfoot's deaths didn't you?"
"Smart"
Redtail's eyes narrowed "They raised you! as did Rosetail and Lionheart loved you did you plan the fox or for Brokenstar to kill him?"
"Prices have to be made for greatness" Tiger-roar said, he started circling the tortie tom "Come on Redtail, you know you won't win"
Redtail noticed Icebelly for a moment but said nothing about it. "Starclan may take me but you will never win" Icebelly knew Redtail was telling him to avenge his death. Redtail launched himself at Tiger-roar. Leaping onto the great tabby's back, going for the neck. Nightshade bit into the tortie's leg and threw Redtail off. The dark brown tabby grabbed the tortie with one powerful arm, dragging Redtail across the rocks. He slashed Redtail's throat with ease.
Redtail wheezed as blood gushed out but then something more rotten happened.
Nightshade shoved Redtail off the rocks causing Redtail to fall into the river. He heard Redtail's low screech as he was being washed away. He hoped Redtail died from his throat wound before he hit any rocks. He knew why Nightshade did that, no blame could be placed if Redtail fell into the river.
Icebelly had flicked a bush with his tail in his panic. Tiger-roar raised his head and he ducked. Icebelly crouched low and began moving, as soon as he could he ran as fast as he could back to camp.
Blackfoot saw the rise and fall of Russetfur's pelt as she breathed. He slowly padded into the nursery, it looking clean and soothing than it had in the past moons. He saw Whitethroat curled up with Hollylock-kit, Privetkit, and Burdock-kit and his new litter in Kink-kit fathered by Wetfoot.
Dawncloud was curled up with Ratkit and Snowkit, Pinewhisker next to her with Spiderkit. Darkflower recently had a new litter: Nightkit, being raised by her Scorchwind, and Applefang.
He and Pinewhisker obviously broke up, they both liked the same gender and they had been mentor/apprentice, they had discussed everything to be good parents to Spiderkit. He'll always respect his former apprentice for being strong then and now.
He'd always been into toms since he was an apprentice, he had a crush on Brokentail at the time which was probably why he obeyed Brokenstar for as long as he did. Goldendusk and Littlecloud didn't have to be with him anymore but Goldendusk said he wanted to see where this can go without Brokenstar forcing it, Littlecloud was unsure but willing to try.
He didn't think he'd have kits again but things happen. He had a new litter to worry about. His and Russetfur's. He slowly rested a dark paw on her side "How are you?"
"Sore from being on rat duty" She replied "You're daughter and son have been causing a ruckus, glad I had Goldendusk and Dawncloud to help"
He looked and saw two kits who looked just like their mother, Rowankit and Cedarkit, two moons old and causing chaos for all. "Little monsters they are" she mewed, licking his cheek. Him and Russetfur knew they couldn't really be called mates, they were in the same situation that he and Pinewhisker had. Him and Russetfur would do well by their kits.
He curled up with Russetfur, grooming her ears softly. "A new era for us all" she mewed sleepily
"It will be good" he replied letting sleep take him
/
Blackfoot yawned as he woke. He crept out so he wouldn't wake anyone. His eyes stung as they felt the sun's rays. He gazed at the fresh-kill pile that looked more full that than it had in seasons. Blackfoot grabbed a toad and sat near the warrior's den. He felt at peace and less destructive than he had ever been.
Things in Shadowclan had been somewhat peaceful.
A number of cats wanted to be renamed: Brownfang became Brownspeck after his mother as while as the dark brown specks starting to form on his fur, Elderclaw became Elderberry, Shaleclaw had wanted to be named Yewberry to match her brother, Rotheart to Rottingbranch. Lizardswipe wanted a name change and not one so close to her fox-hearted grandmother and became Gravelheart, she chose that name not Sliverstar.
Ash-heart was glad to go back to her name and not Slit-throat. Blackfoot did his best to avoid the molly though.
Silverstar renamed Maggotkit to Yarrowpaw during their ceremony and made her and her brother apprentices, Yarrowpaw had Fernshade and Mirepaw had Wolfstep. Midnightkit became Midnightpaw being mentored by Flintfang. Screechkit was renamed to Vulturepaw during her ceremony and mentored under Lichenfang.
The clan was somewhat smaller since the clan was mostly made up of Brokenstar's elite. Pineshadow and Crowcloud had a choice to leave the clan but they chose to stay. Crowcloud had her litter of three: Garlickit,Sloekit, and Twilightkit and Pineshadow also had her litter of three: Foxkit, Larchkit, and Timberkit.
Mudfoot, Lizardstripe, Clawface, and Deerfoot's bodies weren't taken to the grave yard. Sliverstar had the bodies run over by monsters then they buried the remains. In Shadowclan burying the dead was deemed a big dishonor but when it was a vile cat it was the rule to do so, they were dishonorable in life so they will be dishonored in death.
He felt a tail rest on his shoulder, he turned his head to see his sister.
"You're up early" Fernshade's tired mew called. He heard a yawn from Shadewhisper. Shadewhisper's tongue healed, not perfectly with the small scars but she could still somewhat speak but ultimately chose not to speak at all.
"Yeah, my body thought I should be awake" He nudged his toad at the two mollies. Shadewhisper snatched it and began to eat.
"Shadowclan honestly seems better" Fernshade muttered leaning against him
"Let's hope it sticks" Blackfoot replied
He spotted Thornblood and Elderberry padding out of the warriors den. His son was usually a night owl like the rest of the clan but he had his moments like everyone else. Thornblood honestly preferred to do stuff in the day time. He wasn't the only one: Littlecloud and Goldendusk preferred to do things in the day time.
Speaking of Goldendusk, he felt the golden tom rubbing himself against him.
"Missed you last night" Goldendusk purred softly
Blackfoot rubbed his check against the golden tom's "I was with Russetfur and the kits"
"How are they?" Fernshade asked, licking her paws
"Two kits, a molly and a tom" he replied
"More kits for our smaller clan" Goldendusk added
Sliverstar changed Shadowclan for the better but there was one thing she wasn't going to get rid of, which was understandable. Sliverstar had her own elite, it wasn't necessary but Shadowclan had founded this rank and it was rare that a Shadowclan leader didn't have one. Raggedstar didn't have an elite and looked how that worked out.
Sliverstar's elite was small but the clan had gone down since the exile of Brokenstar's followers, she had: Tangleburr, Russetfur, Fernshade, Wolfstep, and Blackfoot. He was a little surprised that she chose him but didn't decline the offer.
He felt Goldendusk nip his ear gently, he smirked at the golden tom. He looked to the right and saw Lichenfang padding over. They bowed to their deputy.
Lichenfang flicked her thick tail to the camp entrance, she made the signal for five cats, she then made a straight line on the ground. She wanted a patrol near the Thunderpath.
Blackfoot nodded, he signed I join
Goldendusk and Fernshade did the same thing. Shadewhisper shook her head, the gray and orange molly yawned.
Lichenfang let out a low hiss at Thornblood and Rottingbranch, they padded over. Today would be good.
The night of the gathering was as chilly as always, the cooler it was the more calming it was for Icebelly as strange as it was considering what had happened. Tiger-roar had said that Redtail had fallen into the stream and they've been looking for the body but needed help. They did find Redtail's body, the tortie had been caught between some rocks.
Sandstorm, Lightpaw, and Patchpaw had been understandably heartbroken.
-Flashback-
Icebelly flicked the last of the mud from his paws. He watched Tiger-roar drag the tortie's body as they made their way back to camp. He joined the search party so he wouldn't look suspicious. He did notice Nightshade wasn't around.
He ducked his head as they walked through the gorse tunnel. The rain was just now starting to clear up but the mud was still there of course. The clan turned their attention to the arriving cats.
Tiger-roar tossed Redtail's body close to where the highrock was.
Sandstorm,Runningwind, Lightpaw, and Patchpaw dashed to Redtail's body. Lightpaw and Patchpaw were sobbing in Redtail's fur. Sandstorm was crying a paw-step away, Runningwind holding her close. Bluestar and Spottedleaf walked over to her.
"A..auntie Gr..grandma" Sandstorm murmured
Bluestar pulled Sandstorm and Runningwind close. Spottedleaf hugged Lightpaw and Patchpaw. Redtail had appeared beside Icebelly, not speaking but just gazing at his family mourning him. He noticed that unlike the others, Redtail's wounds weren't healed.
As much as Icebelly was sadden by this, he felt a sick feeling in his gut that something else has happen. A thought rushed through his head like a wave, where was Mossthorn?
His suspicions were right when he saw Goosefeather, the gray speckled tom pointed to the camp entrance with his bushy tail. Goosefeather's normal blue eyes were replaced with yellow, his eyes when his powers are active.
He saw Nightshade padding into camp but she had something in her mouth. It was Mossthorn. Nightshade tossed Mossthorn a few mouse-lengths infront of him. Bluestar turned her head in shock, two of her kits dead in the same day.
"No!" It was Fogtail who screeched that. The sliver black striped tom dashed over to his mate's body with tears in his eyes.
"What happened?" Bluestar asked, her eyes stone cold
"I believe a fox got them" Nightshade replied "but I could be wrong, I caught the scent of the exiled rouges, namely Nutwhisker"
"I'll kill him!" Fogtail snarled, his eyes wet with grief.
"You will do no such thing without my orders, remember that Fogtail" Bluestar retorted
-Flashback ends-
Riverclan and Shadowclan hadn't arrived yet, but Windclan was already there. Duskstar gave Bluestar a respectable nod, Deadfoot seemed to engage in conversation with Bluestar like old friends.
Icebelly spotted Rabbitwhisker and bounded over to meet him. "Hey Rabbitwhisker" he mewed, he yearned to nuzzle the brown tabby but he remembered that this was a gathering.
"Hey Icebelly" Rabbitwhisker replied "How are you? How's your family?"
"I'm alright, Flurrykit and Sunnykit are fine but Fuzzykit's got greencough"
"Oh I'm so sorry to hear that" Rabbitwhisker seemed to want to show affected too.
"How's Cinderpaw doing in Windclan? Your family okay?" Icebelly asked, changing the subject
Rabbitwhisker chuckled "They're a easy learner that's for sure, Deadfoot kinda has his paws full though, Stagleap and Wrenflight are fine, Wrenflight's pregnant actually"
Icebelly smiled "Cinderpaw has always been full of energy, anyway how's Morningflower and the kits?" He had noted that Morningflower wasn't here tonight.
Rabbitwhisker looked away slightly, smile fading "Morningflower is...okay"
Icebelly caught the hesitation like a mouse "What happened?"
The brown tabby sighed "Spottedkit died to greencough, Gorsekit and Quailkit are fine though"
Icebelly felt stiff. Oh Morningflower
Rabbitwhisker toke a risk, he lifted the white tom's chin with his paw "She said she wants to see you though, after the gathering"
Icebelly smiled "I will"
Two different smells hit his nose, Shadowclan and Riverclan.
"Finally" Rabbitwhisker growled "I thought I was gonna freeze"
Icebelly shrugged "I prefer the cold"
"That's because you have fluffy long fur" Wetfoot called "Not like us short-furred cats"
"Though that fur must be a pain in green-leaf" Applefang added
The two Shadowclan cats were as snappy as ever but looked happier and more fed than they did in Brokenstar's time.
"How have you two been?"
"Great" Applefang smiled, her longer canines made it hard for her to show emotion but she manged to make it work.
"How do you Shadowclan cats mange to eat and talk with those teeth?" Rabbtwhisker asked in pure curiosity
Wetfoot chuckled, he traced his own fangs with a claw "Make sure they don't get too long to the point where you can't eat or talk, some have longer fangs than others though"
Sliverstar let out a yowl for attention. The gathering had started.
"Duskstar you wanted to speak first" Sliverstar mewed, stepping back and letting the older leader speak.
"Thank you Duskstar, Windclan has been alright these past moons, leaf-bare is fading and new-leaf begins which I'm sure we're all thankful for" Duskstar mewed
The cats mewed in agreement. No more hunger, greencough, or shivering pelts.
"Windclan has lost one kit to greencough, Spottedkit, However, Wrenflight is expecting kits and Eaglepaw and Rushpaw have earned their warrior names as Eaglefoot and Rushtail"
The cats of Windclan cheered the new warriors. Both toms beaming with pride. Icebelly remembered that feeling but it was tainted with his clanmate slack of faith in him Clanborn cats are always lucky.
"Bluestar, Cinderpaw had been named a warrior in Windclan, their name is Cinderfrost. They wanted their name, I hope that was alright"
Bluestar nodded "A name's a name"
Icebelly saw Cinderfrost padding over to their brother. A smile was on the pointed gray cat face.
"Stormstar" Duskstar backed away
The gray tabby tom padded forward, he looked tired but tried to wave it off. Icebelly hadn't been to Riverclan in a while and honestly it was for the better considering what happened recently and Riverclan's fish problem.
"The fish is flowing well in Riverclan" Stormstar began "Our nursery has new additions: Bearclaw and Sliverstream are expecting, Mistyfoot has recently that their litter of three: Primrosekit, Pikekit, and Perchkit, as well as having a new warrior in Shadepelt"
Icebelly had felt resentful st Shadepelt's name being cheered but he was more stunned to know Sliverstream was pregnant. Were they his, Graystripe's, Slivertide, or Whiteclaw's?.
"We also mourn the deaths of Cedarpelt, Lakeshine,Echomist, and Rainclaw, may Starclan welcome them"
A brief silence went through the clearing in mourning.
"Sliverstar" Stormstar backed up
Sliverstar padded forward, her head high showing her scared right side which reveled more teeth and her scared eye that left her half-blind. "Shadowclan has been well these moons, we have nothing to report other than we sighted a fox on our territory and chased it off, from what I'm told it went into your territory Bluestar"
Bluestar understandably didn't look pleased with this news "Perfect" his leader said through gritted teeth. Bluestar padded forward, her blue eyes showing nothing.
"Redtail has died, Tiger-roar has taken his place as deputy" Bluestar mewed, Stormstar looked ready to spit something but Bluestar beat him to it "Riverclan had nothing to do with it, Redtail had lost too much blood and fell into the river"
That shut Stormstar up.
"Mossthorn has also died, Nightshade caught the scent of fox but also Nutwhisker, I shouldn't tell you all to be cautious"
Sliverstar's ear were pulled back "Bluestar if you'll allow me I could send some of my warriors to help track them down"
Bluestar glanced at Sliverstar, it wasn't an furious look but it wasn't a thankful one either. "One or two Sliverstar, if your warriors take any prey there will be consequences"
