no one is exactly sure what the hell is up with Canarysong, but when he was like 8 moons old, back when Ravenstar was still Ravenbloom, a warrior barely 20 moons old who one night suddenly died due to complications with his respiratory issues, Canarypaw was able to tell something was up, and somehow he brought Raven back. This later happened again with Sanddapple who got a fatal case of greencough, and after that the clan ended up really split in their opinions on Canarysong. Like, hello, that's a cat who can just bring people back? Which essentially makes death and StarClan utterly meaningless, as some understood it. Coalfoot for example utterly despises Canary, which kinda sucks because his daughter ended up being Canary's apprentice and later remained one of his very few close friends. The two don't really talk much anymore.

A whole bunch of cats afterwards outright ordered Canarysong to not revive them if they do die, which made him somewhat upset, but he understood.

But turns out he cannot bring back cats whose bodies cannot be retrieved, as Ravenstar and Steelfur found out when their son Shadowpaw died in a mine collapse. The tragedy hit the family really hard. In an attempt to move on they had another litter, but months later Steelfur herself succumbed to a wound infection, but Ravenstar insisted on bringing her back. Mere weeks after that, their only daughter Charpaw was also lost in a mine collapse. The family, and most of the clan, understood it as a price for a new chance at life at Canarysong's paws. Ravenstar has completely lost all his spirit, and the only thing keeping Steelfur's spirits up after the death of two of her kits and her mate's detachement is their youngest daughter Wishpaw, whose name alone carries all of Steelfur's remaining optimism

Then Sootstar lost all his remaining lives in yet another mine collapse, and the clan's conviction that the mines and Canarysong's powers are somehow connected only solidified. No one knows what the connection is exactly, but most don't even dare to think about it. The clan tries to move on and live a normal life again, but no one can ignore that there are three cats living among them who should not be alive, and one cat with the potential to completely destroy the natural order.
