Yellowfang X Raggedstar & Brokenstar – My Reeling Heart
Yellowfang
It all began,
that fatefull night,
I myself,
was terrified,
of you,
and StarClan's might.
I was a Medicine Cat,
and you,
a Leader,
no less!
This was unexpected,
this unpremeditated mess.
Raggedstar
A son of power,
a son of glory,
a son of might,
a son with a story!
You gave me a son,
my wonderful love,
you're such a sweet,
nurturing cat.
You gave me a son,
with such an ambition.
Brokenkit was his name,
breaking was his game,
truly he was such a son of mine,
a son of darkness,
a son of shadows.
Brokenstar
A beloved father,
an unknown mother,
a life that I led,
determined to grow bolder.
With every gain,
a power was lost,
but I was the best,
never caring the cost.
Yellowfang
I loved you both,
I loved you as a mate,
I loved him as a son,
you both were truly family,
when I had no one.
Thank you,
Raggedstar,
thank you,
Brokenstar.
Raggedstar
My prodigy,
my boy,
my son,
my kit,
my mate?
Did I ever...
Have one?
Brokenstar
A lust for power,
a lust for control.
A yearning to take,
a yearning of the soul.
Amazingly strange,
brute quality.
A torn heart,
a massacred body,
a tormented spirit,
a ripped apart mind.
The meanings of words,
the creatures of being,
a state of mind.
Are these all,
what I'm feeling?
Yellowfang
A beloved mother,
a kind father,
a caring son,
these are the things,
that a family should be made of.
Never,
ever,
never,
should they be,
what we are.
Raggedstar
He was mine,
as you were too.
How wrong I was,
to fall in love,
with you.
Brokenstar
What was my part,
that I was to play,
surely it was to be leader,
like I am today?
Wasn't that,
what I was supposed to do?
Yellowfang
You've hurt me,
and I've hurt him.
However,
everyday,
I can't but wonder,
did I do right?
Was I supposed to slaughter him,
to kill him,
as you did my heart,
that fateful night?
Raggedstar
He was my son,
and you were my mate,
we were bonded,
by a love better than fate.
He killed me,
but you saved me as well.
Brokenstar
Wasn't this my job,
wasn't this what I was supposed to do?
Wasn't I supposed to be,
the best Leader,
that there ever was?
Wasn't I supposed to be,
Brokenstar,
the Leader,
who made ShadowClan free?
-This isn't the way that StarClan decreed. They made it so that mates and their kin were supposed to love each other, until they became seperate by death. But when power, and greed overcomes all odds...Where is the family left? Even StarClan does not know...
