#hollymoon

Firstly to properly understand everything im gonna have to tell you some of the Rewrite Lore. 1. The three (and Dovewing but shes not important rn) are reincarnated gods. Every once in awhile they reincarnate into random cats. I might change their names but for now they're just called Jay, Lion, and Holly. 2. there are three groups. I havent come up with names for them tho :l The leaders of the groups are named Tiger Stripes and Leopard's Claws. 3. no time travel bc that plot was kinda dumb.

Her name is originally Bright Moon. But I will call her Half moon for convenience. She is a softpaw along with her friends, Jay's Wing, Lion's Roar, Fallen Leaves, and Holly Berry. (like in canon Lion isnt related to jay and berry) But her, Jay's wing and Holly berry are especially close.

There isnt any romance with Jay in this they r just besties. Moon and Berry on the other hand are doomed and tragic yuri. (Qpr edition!) Both of them are aroace.

Things are all great until Fallen Leaves Dies. They're all very sad but Lion is especially distraught. In his grief he starts to distance himself from the others. Half Moon trys to confort out him but he pushes her away.

Like one or so month after Fallen Leaves' death the leader of their group dies. They hold a vote for who should be the new leader. The two candidates are Falling Flakes (name pending) and some random ancient cat. The group is very split on who should be the leader as some think Falling Flakes will lead them to be stronger and others things hes too violent.

The night before the vote Jay's wing has a vison that if Flakes becomes leader life as they know it will be wiped out. He tells this to his friends (incuding Lion) The vote is split evenly and despite Jay's warning Lion's roar (who is the newest sharpclaw here) casts the final vote for Falling Flakes.

Jay gets upset with Lion for not heading his warning and they get into a fight. Moon and Berry take jay's side which strains Lion's relationship with them further.

As predicted Falling Flakes starts agressing the other groups. Lion's Roar is his bigest supporter. When a fight eventually starts with Leopard's claws group Lion's Roar kills his right hand man which ony makes things worse. Half Moon is horrified by what her friend has become.

But something else is happening in Half Moon's own group. Anyone who speaks out against Flakes mysteriously is found dead near the border and is used as justification for attacking the other groups. Moon has a sneaking suspicion of why this keeps happening.

The group of three friends agree that Falling Flakes must be taken down. Holly Berry has an idea but she refuses to share it with the other two. She just asks them to trust her. Jay's wing is hesitent but agrees. Half Moon tells Holly Berry that she would trust her with her life.

And then a few days later Falling Flakes is found dead by a river. So now the group needs a new leader. Lion's roar is the obvious choise but Half Moon nominates Holly Berry as the other choice. She gets acused of being biased but Jay's wing claims he had a vision saying that she should be the other leader canidicandidate.

Some insist that they dont need to vote because Lion was practically Flake's second hand man but the elders say they must respect tradition.

Half Moon asks if Jay actually had that vision and he tells her the vision was just a Holly bush grown over the voting spot.

The vote is once again close but Berry wins in the end. Lion is put under close watch. Half Moon congrats her dear friend and thinks that everything will be fine now. What she doesnt know is that the worst is yet to come.

The fights have hurt the land and winter is now apon them. (the story starts in really early spring) so now theres a famine. Everyone is extremely desperate for prey. Combined with highted aggression cats will fight tooth and nail for prey.

Many cats in all groups starve to death. This includes Half Moon's own mother. Moon is racked with grief. One of the remaining people in her life who cared about her is gone. (her father died long before this) And it doesnt help that Holly Berry has been more distant. so she leans on Jay for surport.

Holly Berry is not handling any of this well. She is very stressed by everything. Flakes' remaining supporters say that if Lion had been put in charge they'd be doing much better off.

Berry starts to spiral. That maybe if she hadn't killed Flake so soon the cats who starved would still be alive. Maybe Half Moon's mother would still be alive. She tells everyone to get prey by any means necessary. In the end she deside that she should attack Leopard's claws group. That if they drove them out there'd be more prey to go around. And its what Lion's roar would do.

So she does. Almost every cat in the group dies. Leopard's claws himself dies to Holly Berry's own claws. The survivors flee, getting scattered. Anywho in her group who dissagred was threatened with violence and told 'we could always use one less mouth to feed' so they stut up.

Tiger Stripes desides to leave the lake because they were hit the worst by the famine. (but everyone else left doesnt know that till later)

Holly Berry's actions anger Jay's wing. He wants to kill Berry but Moon convinces him to talk with her. Reluctanty Jay agrees. Beacue deep down he still cares about his sister.

So they go and have an invention. Jay yells at for a while but basically he says he says that she only made things worst. Angered by this, Holly Berry lunges at him. She accidently slits his throat or hits something important (but he doesnt die instantly)

Holly Berry, realizing that she just killed her how brother is mortified by this. Half Moon goes of on Berry . She says that Jay's wing was right and that they should have killed her. That the Holly Berry she loved died the day she became leader.

Realizing that she Fucked Up Big Time Holly Berry runs into the tunnels, never to be seen alive again.

Half Moon on the other hand is deep in grief for both Jay's Wing and Holly Berry. She officially changes her name to Half Moon to represent how she fells like half of her is gone.

When she goes to sleep she is greeted by a many winged cat (think biblically accurate angels) who looks an awful lot like Jay's wing. He tells her go leave and go in the direction of the mountains. She asks him what his name is but he juts tells her she'll know soon enough. Moon tells the remaining members of the group that they should leave and while most deside to go with her, Lion and a few others deside to stay in the dieing land.

When they make it to the mountains she gets named Stoneteller. Half Moon swears to never care for anyone as much as she did Holly Berry.

She lives out the rest of her life plagued with guilt. Maybe if she tried harder to reach out to Lion's Roar he would have listened to Jay's Wing's warning. Maybe if she had tried to help Holly Berry with leader ship more she wounldn't have drove away the other groups .Maybe if she hadn't deterred Jay's Wing from killing Holly Berry, he'd still be alive.

Despite everything she can't bring herself to hate Lion or Holly.

Every once in a while the winged tom meets her in her dreams and tells her something. (prophecy, warnings etc)

Many years later, soon after Gray Wing and the others leave for the forest, she peacefully passes in her sleep. In death she is met by the winged tom once more. He finally introduces himself as Jay. Half Moon asks if he's Jay's wing. Jay tells her that Jay's wing was a incarnate of him but they are two separate entities.

Next she asks where Jay's wing is and a new voice chimes in telling her that hes a ghost unable to pass on like the others. She turns around and is met by a pitch black molly with glowing light yellow eyes with a striking resembles to Holly Berry.

She introduces herself as Holly, the god of death itself. She elaborates that Jay's Wing Holly Berry, Lion's Roar, and Fallen Leaves are still trapped on the mortal plane. But then says that they didnt bring her here just to tell her she'll probably never see any of her friends again.

Jay says they are doing something they've never done before. Half Moon turns to faces him. He extends his paw and offers her the chance to become a higher being. She hesitates for a moment but still takes it.

Basically this means she becomes a demigod. Now she watches over and guides the tribe. Forever will she be willing to hold out hope that one day she will be reunited with her friends and the love of her life.
