Other possible tags are #howlart for art of my babes done by either myself or others(reposted) and #howlwriting for writings!!

Start Here:

For now, let me introduce my starting cats!

(Under Cut)

My name is Boulderstar, and at 8 moons old I founded a clan that hates me.

I've not been the best sister. I tried in the beginning, but not as hard as I should've.

It's alot, y'know? Two moons out of the nursery thrust into this life.

They think I'm a bad leader, but there was no-one to teach me to be a good one.

I didn't even want to be one. I'm sure they'd all be happier if Quiverfreckle was in charge.

But then they'd say I was abandoning my post, a scaredy cat hiding away.

My life was turned upside down in a night. Mousepelt is the only one who understands, understands me.

I watched my loved ones be slaughtered.

So yeah, I think I'm allowed to be a little petty.

Let them hate me. I'm doing what's right for the clan either way.

End of year two.

Locustpaw misses Tuftraven.

The Gathering goes surprisingly well!

Boulderpaw and Mousepaw rush home afterwards, though. Rushkit is only 3 moons, afterall.

Moon 2 continued...

Boulderpaw and Mousepaw decide to attend the gathering, both to let the other clans know that HowlClan still lives and to request advice for Mousepaw.

It's hard not to feel small when you're at the base of that ancient tree, hundreds of eyes seeking answers as to why you approach.

Boulderpaw and Mousepaw part ways for now.

Proud to introduce Hushstar of ComfreyClan, Whistlestar of WeaselClan, and Orchidstar and Duskback(ear behind bush) of TulipClan!

And just like that... they were gone.

Mom, Berrystar, Prancefoot, Dawnheart... everyone I loved, everyone I knew. Just... gone. And all I could do was wait for them to leave, keep Tuftkit quiet. At least Mousekit has a brain.

I just wish I didn't have to watch them die.
