Aa.: "Once again, I do not own warriors ( if I did i would have aloooot of money), but I own Moonflame, Flamepaw, Fallenpaw, Poolpaw, Echokit and Splashkit!"
Cinderheart: " Splahskit stop tormenting your brother!"
Lionblaze: " Echokit...claws in."
Aa.: *rolls eyes* "Kits!"
Sandstorm: " FIRESTAR!"
Ivytail: " I love you Moonflame!"
Aa.:" Ivytail, you already said that!"
Ivytail: "Oh..."
Aa.: " Right...Chapter 5! "
Moonflame padded out of the warriors' den, his body already missing the warmth of Ivytail's.
He had left her to sleep as they had both been chosen for the dawn patrol and it was now nigh on sunhigh. As he groomed his pelt, a purr made its way up his throat as he realised that Ivytail's scent
was attached to his. His purr was interrupted as Jayfeather broke through the gorse barrier, his jaw fulll of herbs. He dropped them quickly as he hissed at Moonflame.
" Go get Lionblaze- Cinderheart is about to kit!" then he picked up his herbs and pelted his way to the nursery where Ferncloud and Daisy stood, as if guarding the nursery.
Moonflame ran to the warriors' den where he picked his way as to not disturb any warriors.
" Lionblaze! Wake up!" Moonflame prodded Lionblaze's side with his paw.
" Huh? Moonflame? Go away!" Lionblaze placed a paw over his muzzle and tossed cuffed him around the ears.
" Cinderheart is about to have your kits you mouse-brain!" Moonflame spat and Lionblaze stood so promptly that he pushed Moonflame in his haste to get to Cinderheart's side.
Moonflame stumbled and fell right on top of Mousewhisker who nearly clawed his ears off.
Moonflame left the Warriors' den and padded to the nursey to see if he could be of any help. He squeezed into the tight entrance and found Cinderheart with frantic eyes, her body heaving several
times as Lionblaze stood by her side, licking her head once in a while.
" Is there anything I can do?" Moonflame asked Jayfeather and the latter nodded his head with a paw on Cinderheart's tummy.
" Yes, the first kit is coming. When it comes out, nip at the sack and start licking it."
Moonflame nodded and just as he did the first kit rolled onto the moss. He ran to it and did as Jayfeather had instructed, licking the kit furiously. Soon it started wailing and made its way on clumsy
paws to its mother's belly.
" We have one beautiful son. You're doing great!" Lionblaze encouraged Cinderheart as she was hit with another contraction.
" How many more?" the queen wailed.
" Only one!" Jayfeather called as Cinderheart's body convulsed yet again and another little bundle rolled into the nest.
Jayfeather picked it up and licked it before it scurried to join its kin.
" A she-cat. They are perfectly healthy, all they need is milk and you have plenty," Jayfeather congratulated the queen and started to edge toward the entrace, " make sure she eats those poppy
seeds Lionblaze." Jayfeather warned as his tail tip disappeared to the entrance.
" Do you want to name them now?" asked Lionblaze and Moonflame could just imagine the warrior with a head buzzing with names.
Cinderheart nodded." The she-cat is so beautiful! I want to name her Splashkit." she purred as she licked her daughter.
Moonflame thought the name fit well. Splashkit's pelt was an exact replica of Cinderheart's gray one, but her ears, her tail tip and her paws had inherited Lionblaze's fierce ginger.
" That's a beautiful name," Lionblaze pressed his nose to Splashkit, " can we name the tom be Echokit?"
Cinderheart cocked her head to the side and Lionblaze shuffled his paws.
" It's a great name, but how did you come up with it?"
Lionblaze hesitated." I don't know where he got it, but he looks a lot like Brambleclaw…except for his eyes, they both have your blue eyes. Its just…"
Cinderheart licked Lionblaze's ear." I understand." she purred and then turned to her kits, " welcome to ThunderClan Echokit and Splashkit."
Moonflame congratulated the two and padded out of the nursery, fresh life giving him energy.
As he padded to Brambleclaw to find out what the duties of the day were, Moonflame noticed Ivytail padding out of the warriors' den. He swerved off course and padded to her instead, greeting her
with a brush to the muzzle.
She purred and flicked his ear with her tail.
" Good morning." she mewed and together they padded to Brambleclaw.
"…you will do a hunting patrol," the deputy finished saying as Squirrelflight, Poolpaw, Dustpelt and Sorreltail padded out of camp.
" Birchfall, Berrynose, Moonflame, Fallenpaw and Icecloud, you can do a border patrol at the WindClan border."
Birchfall nodded and led the patrol out of camp.
Moonflame kept his ears pricked for anything as they sped near the border, when suddenly a stench made him gag.
" Stop!" the whole patrol turned to stare at him, " I smell ShadowClan!"
Everyone started to sniff and Fallenpaw started to hiss.
" You're right, and there's a scent trail, let's follow it!" Birchfall bounded off, the rest of the patrol following closely.
The ShadowClan stench went deeper into their territory and brought them right to the stream dividing the WindClan and ThunderClan territory. There, in Thunderclan territory stood Sedgewhisker, her
hackles raised as she stared at a rock.
" Get out of ThunderClan territory!" Berrynose sped forward, claws unsheathed as he glared at the WindClan she cat.
Breezepelt who was part of the WindClan patrol also jumped over the stream and hissed at the ThunderClan cats.
" You prey-stealers!" he spat at the ThunderClan cats.
Moonflame stepped closer and realised that Sedgewhisker had been looking at a dead rabbit, and not a rock.
" You mouse-brains," Moonflame called, " don't you smell ShadowClan here? Their scent is all over the rabbit!"
" It's probably just a trick!" Breezepelt sneered as one by one, the rest of the Windclan patrol leaped over the stream.
Icecloud started to back away." I'll go get Firestar." then she ran away.
Moonflame realised she was right to do so. These WindClan cats were obviously looking for a fight.
" Attack!" Weaselfur yowled and the cats sprung into battle.
Moonflame ended up fighting with Gorsetail, the rival cat's blue eyes were so light it was startling to see them after being used to Ivytail's comforting deep blue ones.
Gorsetail lashed out at Moonflame and he was able to dodge the blow just in time. Recovering quickly, Moonflame jumped into the air and landed squarely on Gorsetail's back. He started biting hard
into his ear until he felt blood pollute his tongue. The strong warrior then threw Moonflame off his back and the latter went flying, landing with a thud to the ground. Suddenly a yowl sounded from
behind and Ivytail's familiar pelt flashed by Moonflame as the she-cat threw herself at Gorsetail. The warrior whipped around and tried to counter-attack but Ivytail was too quick, sending him fleeing
with multiple injuries.
" Thanks." Moonflame huffed as Ivytail sniffed him over before going to help out Hazetail.
Moonflame looked around. This had become a whole battle. WindClan cats were streaming over the moor and Moonflame was relieved to see Firestar's patrol mingle with Birchfall's.
As he looked around, Moonflame saw a dark gay cat which he recognized to be Crowfeather lashing out vicious blows at Firestar. The ThunderClan leader had lost his balance and was now pinned to
the ground by Crowfeather. Growling, Moonflame leaped at Crowfeather, striking at his side with sharp claws. He threw another blow at his muzzle and another at his ear and Crowfeather retreated,
blood pouring from him in multiple areas. Moonflame zipped around to see if Firestar was okay and his legs nearly buckled beneath him when he saw his leader still on the ground, breathing heavily as
his body convulsed in similar ways in which Cinderheart's had done this very morning.
" Firestar!" Moonflame wailed as he took in just how much blood was pouring from his leader's bode.
As the last WindClan cat fled into their territory, the ThunderClan cats gathered over their leader's body.
" He's losing a life." Brightheart breathed as her body shook with terror.
Long moments passed and Ivytail was leaning slightly on Moonflame as she had twisted her paw but had insisted that she didn't require Jayfeather just yet. Firestar had still not come back to reality.
" He's dead- he lost his last life defending his clan's territory." Lionblaze hung his head.
Sadness was creeping over the assembled cats.
Firestar had come to an end. The legend had passed away.
