Cliffheart nodded to Littlemoon before he slipped in through the camp entrance. The small she cat seemed to brighten at his and Cardinalblaze's return. Inside the camp, Cliffheart paused to get a look around. It was almost heartbreaking seeing the state the clan was in, however, Cliffheart couldn't help but feel light. His clanmates were working to fix up the dens. He spotted Songbreeze outside the nursery, Hidden dream helping out, Smokestorm was talking with Snakesong. Cliffheart looked around for Owlshadow. Perhaps she was in one of the dens or out on a hunt? He started over to the warriors den.
Eaglesight padded up to Songbreeze when he spotted their father return. "He's back," he said grimly.

Cardinalblaze padded quietly into camp, happy to be back but still lost in thought as he remembered the Skyclan warriors who had fallen to their deaths. His chest ached, and his perceptions of the other clan began to change. All of the clans had suffered from the fire...He prayed to Starclan that they would rebuild.
His eyes flickered with recognition as he looked around for Cloudflight or Raccoonmask.

Songbreeze lifted her head her gaze shifting into something unreadable for a moment. He was alive thank starclan! Though now...they had to tell him what happened to there mother. A lump grew in her throat as she tried to speak but couldn't. It took a few moments to calm herself down before a shaky breath escaped her, "We....should tell him," she whispered softly.
(Does he know his grandkits perished?)

Raccoonmask set some moss down at the entrance unable to move past it her gaze catching her brothers, "Cardinalblaze?! Oh thank the stars you are back," she meowed though she made no move to get further into camp her paws holding firm at the entrance. Her own claws digging into the charred earth unwilling to let her go further.

(yeah, Cliff helped deliver them. He was also there for Hidden when she found out about her mate.)
Eaglesight nodded in agreement. He took a deep breath. "I'll go get him." He looked across the camp for Smokestorm and Hiddendream, all of his siblings should tell their father together. Eaglesight padded toward the warriors den, cutting his father off. "Father." Cliffheart paused. "Eaglesight. Have you seen your mother? I want to make sure she's alright." "Uh," eaglesight flicked his tail. "Father, Songbreeze and I have something to tell you." He motioned back toward his sister. "Come on " Cliffheart flicked his ear and followed his son.

Hiddendream paused looking over spotting her father there was a frown on her face before swallowing down this rising feeling as she moved stopping by Smokestorm, "Father is back...," she meowed softly before turning to walk over towards her littermates. The sadness on her face was clear as she walked towards her family.
Songbreeze looked at her father relieved he was safe and sound with them but she felt so heavy inside. This hurt so much. Pearlkit rested comfortably against her mother not moving from her side.

Smokestorm frowned when Hiddendream padded up to him. He followed her gaze over to Cliffheart and flattened his ears. He didn't want to tell his father what happened to Owlshadow, it would crush the tom. With a glance at Snakesong, he slowly got up and followed Hiddendream.
"Songbreeze," Cliffheart purred when he padded up to his daughter. If something was wrong, he wanted to reassure her. "How are you and Pearlkit doing?"
Eaglesight flicked his ear and glanced over at Hiddendream and Smokestorm. He held his head up to be strong for his siblings, but the thought of telling their father weighed on him heavier than a fallen tree.

Hiddendream let out a soft breath pausing as she stopped looking at Songbreeze and Pearlkit her heart hurt but she needed to be strong for there father. Though leaving on her littermates helped her they all had suffered and this was the worst news they could give to him. He didn't even know she had passed. For a few moments Songbreeze didn't say anything as she looked at her father the relived look faded away to one of sadness as a shaky breath escaped her, "H...Hi dad. Im glad you made it back safely," she tried her best to purr but it was so broken. Her heart was so heavy at this point they had to tell him, "We...we are alright but...we...we have something to tell you first," she tried to speak but her voice broke unable to continue at this point.

Oh thank the stars you are back," she meowed though she made no move to get further into camp her paws holding firm at the entrance. Her own claws digging into the charred earth unwilling to let her go further. “Raccoonmask.” Cardinalblaze mewed, his voice filled with relief. He padded calmly towards her, though his eyes grew concerned as he noticed her reluctance to move further. He padded to her side instead, looking at her carefully. “Are you alright? You...seem hesitant.”

Cliffheart flicked his ear at the mention of his trip, he needed to report to Cedarstar on how SkyClan was doing. He was going to do that after speaking with Owlshadow. "What is it?" Cliffheart looked from Songbreeze to his other kits. The way they gathered and the grave looks on their faces, something wasn't right. "what's wrong."
Eaglesight took a deep breath and laid his tail across Songbreeze's shoulders. He'd break the news so his siblings didn't have too. "Father, during the fire..." He took a deep breath. This was harder to do than he thought. "It's... It's about Owlshadow. She didn't make it out."
Cliffheart looked at his son in confusion. A knot tightened in his stomach, but he refused to acknowledge it. "What?"

Songbreeze felt her brother's tail as tears slipped from her eyes her grief crashing all over again. Though her gaze shifted towards Cliffheart this would be so hard for him, after all Owlshadow saw the good in their father and had been the one to stand by his side throughout it all. To have her ripped from his life...starclan could be cruel...life could be cruel. Her voice cracked, "She...she's gone...," her voice faltered as she looked at him.
Hiddendream looked away to hide her grief her fur ruffled as she stared at the ground she couldn't the heavy feeling.

"Im ok...helping the clan gather supplies trying to do what I can," Raccoonmask forced a smile as she looked at him nodding her head nodding towards the moss by her paws though her claws scratched at the ground. The pain and grief she was holding back was hurting her dearly. She wanted to scream, how could Starclan be so unfair!

“Raccoonmask...” Cardinalblaze hesitated, knowing his sister better than anyone. Even so, he never wanted to bring her stress, or pressure her for anything. Instead, he pressed himself close to her, promising. “Well...I’m not going anywhere, got it? Nothing in this world will take me away from you, or from our clan. You aren’t alone, got it?”

"She was making sure the apprentices made it out." Eaglesight took a deep breath to strengthen his voice. Smokestorm wouldn't look at anyone. When Cliffheart looked at him, Eaglesight couldn't meet his gaze. "And the den collapsed on her. She... she's with StarClan now."
"No." Cliffheart shook his head and stepped away from his kits. Horror chilled his heart and denial swept his mind. "No. You're wrong. Where is your mother, Eaglesight?!"
Smokestorm flinched at the sharpness of Cliffheart's voice. He hung his head. Why did AtarClan have to be so cruel to take their mother away from their father like this?

Raccoonmask felt as if his voice was far away as she drifted for a moment, Quailfrost. She didn't want to go anywhere, this was her clan, her life, she would have done anything and yet she was taken away. A small giggle escaped the she-cat as she stared off her eyes seeming to glaze over,"They are gone....taken just like that. Do you think your words will change what atrocities Starclan has done to us!," she laughed the words rolling out of her as the laughter continued. Her claws digging into the ground, this was all her fault! If she had just agreed with Quailfrost all those moons ago maybe things would have been different. Quailfrost would hate her for all eternity. Should it have been her instead?!

Cardinalblaze stepped back, looking at his sister with bewilderment, before he tried to console her. “This...I don’t think Starclan would be so cruel as to send this fire! Our-...Goldberry, and Tumblefoot, said that the fire was started by Twolegs. Starclan may not be able to stop twolegs...” He tried to reason, his ears falling as he looked at her, trying to keep reasonable about the tragedy.

"She is gone," Hiddendream shivered hearing his tone having to tear her gaze from the ground to look at him, "She is with Starclan now...no harm can come to her anymore," her voice was shaky but she didn't move her gaze from his. Even though she wanted too she couldn't he needed to know this was the truth, "Im so sorry...," she whispered.
Songbreeze whimpered at the sharpness in his voice and the denial he held there. She buried her face under her paws trying to hide herself, make herself smaller then she already was. Distress radiated off of the she-cat as she shivered unable to stop the tears from falling.

"She can't be gone!" Cliffheart bared his teeth are his kits. He didn't mean it. He never wanted to hurt them, but he couldn't believe it. Owlshadow couldn't have been taken from him! He'll never seen her again! "What will I--How could--" he shook his head and backed up further. His heart was racing and he swore he could hear the voices of the Dark Forest laughing at him. "I...I need her..."
Eaglesight kept his ears back and glanced at his siblings. He didn't know what to say and Smokestorm was avoiding the topic by not looking at anyone and not saying anything. "It'll be alright, father."
"No." Cliffheart frowned back at his son. "I thought StarClan had done their justice to me, but I was wrong. If Owlshadow is dead..." He trailed off with a gasp of grief.

"Then they have no right controlling our lives!" Raccoonmask snapped her tail lashed behind her. Her eyes holding a crazed look and yet filled with utter grief that she couldn't hide. She felt her stomach twist into knots her body wanting to heave as the sadness and anger took hold of her. The she-cat raked her claws across the ground unable to stop her body from doing so. Her body tensed up, "If they are unable to stop the horrors that destroy us what kind of all powerful beings are they? Disease, fire, floods, twolegs! They are nothing but stars that twinkle above us powerless to help! They are NOTHING!" she snapped her teeth barred as she stepped away from him. Her faith in the stars shattering rippling across her voice as it broke her entire being seemed to crumble body sinking towards the ground unable to hold herself up as grief wrapped around her.

Songbreeze whimpered hearing him, 'Im so sorry....," her voice breaking as she tried to lift her gaze to look at him. Her entire body wracked with shivers unable to stop herself how could starclan be so cruel to him. Out of anyone he deserved to be happy. He had done so much for those he cared about and this is how he was repaid? What a sick joke.
Hiddendream shuddered taking a step back when he barred his teeth at them her ears pinning back before turning to look away her fur ruffling as her stomach twisted, "We all need her dad.... we all miss her....they tried so hard to save her," she whispered.

Cliffheart pinned his ears back and nearly snapped again, but he noticed the state of his kits. Songbreeze's and Hiddendream's shivers and guilt, Smokestorm's avoidance and Eaglesight's attempts to be strong for all of them. Owlshadow's death didn't only effect him. "You'll see your mother again." Cliffheart looked at each of his kits, trying to reassure them, but his own bitterness kept his words tight. "You'll be with your mother again in your own time. She would..." Cliffheart shook his head. "She would want you to continuing being the best warriors you can be. She loves you." Cliffheart took another step away to depart.
Eaglesight stood up. "Father--"
"I have to report to Cedarstar." Cliffheart shook his head when he cut off his son. "Excuse me." He walked away.
Smokestorm kept his ears pinned back and watched Cliffheart go.
Scorchfire and a few others were looking toward Eaglesight and his siblings, having heard the commotion and Cliffheart's shouting.

Songbreeze finally let the sobs take over her as she curled up tightly the wound so fresh reopening. Her paws covered her face as she cried unable to stop herself. How could starclan be so cruel? To take there mother away from them all...her heart broke. She couldn't even watch him walk away.
Hiddendream opened her mouth to speak but was unable too as she felt her stomach twist she couldn't handle it anymore as she heaved moving away from the others getting sick she felt horrible.

"Hiddendream, wait." Eaglesight turned toward his siblings. He looked at Songbreeze and Smokestorm. "It'll be alright. He'll come around and we'll be fine." He looked at his sisters. "Mother would want you to be strong for Pearlkit, Songbreeze. Just like she was strong for us when AdderClan threatened us. Hiddendream, mother always said you were the stronger of the four of us, reasonable, reliable, she wouldn't want you spend too much time weeping over her. and Smokestorm," he looked at his brother. "Mother wanted you to get out there and make a life for yourself instead of just laying around the camp. We can't let this stop us. We're warriors to be proud of and we gotta show that to both mother and father."

Songbreeze sniffled lifting her paws off of her face to look at him tears still dripped from her eyes trying to hold back the sobs. Looking down at her belly to the tiny kit there. Her eyes softening as she licked the she-kits head though she let out a shaky breath wishing her two were beside her belly as well, a hole in her heart that couldn't be covered. She didn't think she would ever be as strong as their mother had been when Adderclan threatened them, but she would do her best the try to live up to even half as what she was.
Hiddendream shuddered shaking her head a bit looking at Eaglesight a soft breath escaped her as she wiped her muzzle with her paw, "You always have the right words to say brother," she spoke softly, "But don't you forget about yourself. We will always be here for each other, we will stay strong together, we are not alone," she told him looking at the other two nodding her head, "We will see mother again when it is our times but until then we will continue to live for our clans sake...for our families sake, for those we care about. We will make mother proud of us and make sure father wont be alone," she let out a shaky breath trying to be strong, trying not to crack.

He supposed he couldn’t be surprised, with all that had happened. And yet, as much as he wanted to agree...He could not begin to think of defying the honor of their ancestors. He swallowed down his argument, looking sadly at her. “Raccoonmask, please, you look as though you’ve worked your paws off. Rest with me, at least. Emotions are high right now...I think we just need time to get our bearings.” He tried.

"I am not going to rest....you cant make me," Raccoonmask growled lowly lifting her head to look at him, "The camp needs to be fixed," she shook her head trying to get back up but her paws couldn't hold her weight, everything screaming at her to stay put. She shuddered slightly trying not to let the tears flow that were threatening to spill.

Eaglesight nodded to his sisters, grateful for their bravery. "Cliffheart will report to Cedarstar and we may be able to speak with him again afterwards. I can try calming him down."
Smokestorm flicked his tail and still remained silent.
Cliffheart slipped into the leaders den to speak with Cedarstar.
