Soulspirit nodded and stood up to look for Eclipsesky or Dawnshadow, figuring they were still nearby.

Eclipsesky was beginning to sort through the herbs that Silverspirit had placed in the den, putting them back into the sorting system he had created.

Soulspirit poked her head into the medicine den, “Eclipsesky? Can I talk to you?” She asked when she saw him.

Eclipsesky looked up in surprise, his head was still whirling from Meadowbrook's banishment he wasn't expecting to see anyone so soon. "Oh sure Soulspirit. Is something wrong?"

Dashclaw was sitting toward the back of the crowd when the whole commotion occurred. His ears were back, but his eyes only stared with surprise and disbelief at everything Meadowbrook had done. And it occurred to him that she could've gone after him with all the back and forth he had done between moor-runner and tunneler. He lowered his gaze to his paws, thinking over Swiftstar's speech. Dashclaw was even guilty of accusing Swiftstar with favoritism for the moor-runners instead of the tunnelers, especially now that Dashclaw was a moor-runner once again. He still didn't agree with Swiftstar's decision, but he was grateful Meadowbrook's treachery was exposed and she was now gone. Dashclaw stood up and padded over to Tall Rock, wishing to speak with Swiftstar.
Harewhisker remained quiet through the entire accusations. He kept his ears back at the exposure of Meadowbrook's crimes, how could she do such a thing?! But a guilty part of him agreed with the now banished tunneler. WindClan had always shone favoritism to moor-runners and he didn't feel like that would change. Harewhisker got up and padded over to his mate and just quietly groomed her pelt. Being around her always helped him think. He wouldn't trade his life as a tunneler for anything, but he hoped Swiftstar would hold true to making moor-runners and tunnelers more equal.

Soulspirit shuffled her paws, “W-well, I didn’t want to bother you, but recently I haven’t been feeling well.” She said hurriedly, “M-my stomach has been a little off lately.”

Eclipsesky twitched his whiskers, padding closer to the she-cat "Oh? In what ways?" he asked, settling down in front of her.

Swiftstar flicked his tail in surprise, genuinely not expecting the praise from his clan, but it made his pelt feel warm with pride. Not only was the pride for himself, but also in his clan. Every word that had come out of his mouth was true, but now that ne knew that his clan felt the same it somehow struck him differently. He leaped off of tall rock now and let out a sigh. Meadowbrook hadn't been the only cat who accused him of favoritism, but just how could he change things if he didn't fully understand the problem. He was puzzling through this when Dashclaw approached.
Frostpetal's ears were pinned back as Harewhisker groomed her. Meadowbrook had only killed moor-runner, what if she had been next? As the mate to a tunneler, what if Meadowbrook had attacked her? Or her kits? Did any moor-runner seriously believe that they were better than tunnelers?

Soulspirit sat down as well, “I’ve been feeling nauseous, and sometimes I will have this twinge of pain in my stomach.” She said, looking at the medicine cat with worry.

"Swiftstar." Dashclaw flicked his tail when he approached his leader, his tone wasn't too welcoming, a clear sign that he was still mad about becoming a moor-runner again, but from the look on his face, he wasn't here to fight.
"Are you alright?" Harewhisker paused his grooming to look at his mate. He didn't like how quiet she had gotten.

Swiftstar glanced up as Dashclaw's greeting surprised him. "Oh Dashclaw." He said, unable to read the tom. Dashclaw had hardly looked his way since Swiftstar had made him a warrior again, maybe he was going to try and convince him again. He wasn't looking forward to this conversation if that was the case. "Is there something on your mind?"
Frostpetal frowned, not sure what to say or how to say it. "I just...I don't understand. Of course moor-runners and tunnelers are equal. I don't think I've ever thought for a second that we weren't...am I wrong?" she looked up at her mate with wide eyes.

Eclipsesky flicked his ears in interest, "Can you lay down here for me Soulspirit, I want to check your belly. You don't look very sick to me otherwise, your pelt is nice and soft, eyes are bright, your nose is dry. I have a feeling.. you might be pregnant."

Soulspirit looked at Eclipsesky in surprise, but did as she was told, “R-really?” She said, relieved that it wasn’t something bad, but still worried. Soulspirit laud down, wondering what Cinderscar would think about kits.

Eclipsesky placed a paw gently on the she-cat's belly, pressing in he hummed, smiling once he felt what he was looking for. "Congratulations Soulspirit. You're expecting kits."

"Your speech." Dashclaw flicked his ear and glanced up at Tall Rock, a bit of annoyance in his gaze. "You claim you're no longer a moor-runner and you want tunnelers and moor-runners to be equals." He looked back at his leader and flicked his tail, doing his best to not snort. Not only was Swiftstar taking away his position as a tunneler, but he was setting himself apart from the diversity in the Clan. "I thought I might offer a suggestion."
Harewhisker flicked his ear, not sure he even wanted to voice his own doubts to her. Moor-runners were all that were seen in WindClan. Sure, the other Clans didn't know about tunnelers because it was WindClan's secret weapon, but that often left them forgotten all together. Harewhisker took a deep breath. "Maybe," he admitted honestly. "That depends...do you ever think a tunneler could become leader of the Clan?"

Soulspirit stood up, “Thank you, Eclipsesky.” She purred, excited to tell Cinderscar now, “I appreciate it.”

Cinderscar paced lightly, worry in his eyes for his mate. Meadowbrook’s banishment had certainly opened his eyes to the realization that clanmates could turn on eachother as easily as possible. Even so, he assured himself that he was being paranoid. So long as he had Soulspirit, he would be alright.

Dawnshadow was looking at some herbs, trying to decide what they needed urgently. She was angry, angry that Meadowbrook had only gotten away with banishment. She deserved what she gave. The normally calm medicine cat thought sourly. She was being a little rough with the herbs, very unlike her.
“What is it?” Heathersky looked at Ravenkit softly. He looked so much like his father is almost hurt.
Swiftsun shifted from paw to paw, wanting to get out of camp. Things were just hectic and he needed some air.
Alderfur headed out of camp and towards the tunnels. He wondered if he could get to work now.

Eclipsesky nodded, "You're welcome Soulspirit." he mewed, turning back to help Dawnshadow sort the herbs. The tom looked tired, he felt more tired than he had been in his entire life. He looked back up at Dawnshadow, he could almost feel her anger rolling off of her. "Dawnshadow, maybe we should take a break." he suggested, watching her accidentally crush a marigold leaf. "I think both of us could use a rest."

Alderfur headed out of camp and towards the tunnels. He wondered if he could get to work now. Ravenkit seemed more awake now, blinking up at his mother with large blue eyes. He rolled over a bit to pull up on his little paws, a bit shaky but determined to sit up. “Mama.” He pouted, trying to put words together but getting easily frustrated with it. |

Dawnshadow didn’t look at Eclipsesky, hissing in annoyance at crushing the lead. “I don’t need a break.” She meowed sourly. She let this happened. She should have known after the first sign.
Heathersky put a paw out to steady him. “There you go.” She said softly, watching him. Ashenkit slid off her back and into Ravenkit. The she-kit letting out a little laugh.

Swiftstar nodded. "Moor-runners and tunnelers are equals." he said calmly "But I haven't always done the best job of fostering that in the Clan. I would appreciate any advice you have, especially since you have a unique experience here in the clan." He flicked his tail, hoping the conversation wouldn't turn sour. He had already made so many mistakes in his leadership, but removing Dashclaw from the tunnels was not one of them.
Frostpetal frowned. "Why not? Blacktail's deputy. If Swiftstar died tomorrow he would be! Why couldn't a tunneler be leader?" she flicked her tail in indignation "Besides, StarClan picked Swiftstar. There are tunnelers involved in that decision too!"

Eclipsesky flattened his ears, "You may be a full medicine cat but you're still my apprentice. Don't make me make it an order Dawnshadow." he mewed tightly. "You're destroying the herbs that we do have with your anger."

He stumbled a bit, plopping on his side as he batted at his sister. “Mama!” He complained, trying to pull at Ashenkit’s ear. |

Dawnshadow just sighed and stepped away from the herbs. Her shoulders dropped and she sat back. “I’m sorry.” She told him. The angry fading from her voice. He was right, she was destroying the herbs.
Ashenkit tried to cuff her brother’s ear, her paw landing uncoordinatedly.
“You can take her.” Heathersky encouraged her son. Ashenkit already seemed like a little spitfire.

Eclipsesky shook his head, moving over to where there nests had once been, now burned away. He curled up on the ground, glad that in was nearly greenleaf. "You have a right to be angry, Meadowbrook killed your mother. She's been punished now though and you've seen your mother is okay in Starclan. We will grieve all of our lost clanmates now, knowing their lives have been unjustly ended, whether it was through the fire or the villain within our clan."

Ravenkit seemed a bit nervous, but he soon let his huffiness guide his paws, batting quickly at Ashenkit in an attempt to scoot her over. He squeaked each time Ashenkit’s paws pulled at his dark fur, but he soon pushed all his little weight at her.

Dashclaw bitterly looked away from the leader at the comment of his "unique experience." He almost held his tongue and kept his suggestion to himself, but somehow managed to bite down his pride. He looked Swiftstar in the eye. "If you really want to set yourself apart and carry the burdens of both moor-runners and tunnelers then I suggest you start training as a tunneler immediately and get to know what it's like down there for yourself. You learn both ways of WindClan's life and that will only make you a better leader and it will show the Clan that you really do care about Moor-runners and tunnelers."
Harewhisker flicked his ear and looked across the camp. "We all know that Swiftstar only chose Blacktail as his deputy to appease the tunnelers in the Clan and Blacktail isn't as young as he once was. If something happens to him or he retires, who would Swiftstar choose?" He looked back at his mate. "He'd probably choose a moor-runner, because everyone sees the moor-runners while tunnelers are forgotten by everyone."

Ashenkit was surprised by his suddenly fierceness. Ravenkit knocking her over. She whined at him softly.
Dawnshadow followed her mentor to where their nests had once been. She curled up next to him, listening to his words. “It just doesn’t seem fair.” She sighed softly.
