"—Windkit!" Mosspelt called. He whined, the cold dragging his energy away from him.

"What's wrong with him?" his sister said. "He's so quiet. Like Patchkit."

Patchkit died last night. Mosspelt had slept around them, with the WindClan kits and queen against them, but Patchkit's body had been still and cold in the morning. Mosspelt had called out, wailed for the lack of a river, but after barely moments, Windkit had found himself scooped up in her jaws.

"He's fine," Mosspelt said, running her tongue along his back. She purred, and Windkit purred back, his eyes feeling heavy.

Willowkit pressed her nose to his shoulder. "Don't die," she whispered. "I don't want to be alone."

sorry i just stopped to think about how Much we've gone through. all of us. this is a collaborative effort. good job, reading all of this. or even just this post. i'm proud of you.

anyway.

tangleburr has another litter, with a singular kit, snowkit. applepaw is apprenticed to brownthorn.

and then.

okayy so shadowclan has a tree fall in their camp. it kills ashpelt and heartkit, and injures sequoiaice, causing head trauma and brain injury. sequoiaice struggles with gross motor control, so he retires.

ah, windclan does a civil war.

why? how? welll basically pinespark instigates it. yeah the fucking seer. he dies in the process though so shrug.

ashfoot, freckledkit, and doespring die in the battle. deadstar is distraught.

poplarcloud also has a head injury and signficant memory loss, so pinepaw (of riverclan) comes to windclan as pineshore, and serves as their primary seer. it's...tense.

*rubs hands together*

mousefur's kits die before the journey. when greystripe is captured, firestar appoints her as acting deputy. she will eventually be made deputy.

squirrelflight!! becomes a warrior. so proud of her <3

birchpaw is apprenticed to ashfur and hollypaw to firestar. why? idk maybe he sees something in her.

windkit and patchkit both die on the journey. they freeze from the snow before the tribe finds them. willowkit is the only kit to live.

when they've arrived at the lake, dawnflower has her litter, pebblekit, minnowkit, and tumblekit.
