Poppyflame followed after Thistlestalk and Stormfury, sighing in relief that the clan had returned to camp.

Bumbleskip looked up as he saw the patrol approaching, he shook out his fur, trying to return back to the real world. "Welcome back. The clan has returned, leaving us here to gather the patrols from the other clans. I assume Windclan made it out okay then?"

Stormfury half shrugged, not meeting the tom's eyes. "Windclan will rebuild." he said simply.

Poppyflame nodded to Bumbleskip in greeting, “Have any of the other patrols come back yet?” She asked.

Bumbleskip shook his head “No, you are the first. The clan is back in our camp so you are welcome to go there from here. They’ll probably enjoy the extra help.”
Thistlestalk dipped his head to the other warrior. Before turning back to the patrol with a semi-sweet smile “ready to go see the damage?”

Stormfury swallowed. Hard. First Swallowfeather then his fight with Eclipsesky...and now the camp? It felt like it was just one tragedy after another. He nodded silently.

Poppyflame flicked her ear and nodded, “Let’s get this over with.” She said, sighing.

Bumbleskip paced, waiting anxiously for the other patrols to come back. He couldn't sleep, every time he closed his eyes he saw more and more imagines of his four lost kits and his lost mates. He couldn't take it anymore. Starclan was mocking him, he knew it! He turned his back on them for taking his kin away and now they would punish him for the rest of his life. They were supposed to be all knowing, kind caring spirits of the past, all they had done from him is take Brightflame away, Lightcloud, Pinestep and Vinemask, now Redspark and Mosspaw too. He glared at the ground, his thoughts were a jumbled mess from the lack of sleep. Were Cherryvine, Vixenflame and Hazelblaze okay or would he come back to see their bodies too laying in the middle of the camp right beside Redspark and Mosspaw.

Cardinalblaze rushed after Cliffheart, his paws itching to return to Shadowclan, to his mate and sister and Falcontalon. He spotted Bumbleskip up ahead, but seemed unsure at how his posture looked.

Cliffheart had flattened his ears when the ShadowClan scent from Fourtrees wasn't as strong as before. Yet, in seeing Bumbleskip, he perked his ears forward. "Bumbleskip! Is everything alright?" He slowed to a stop near the other warrior and looked around the clearing. "Where's the Clan?"

Bumbleskip stopped in his tracks, looking up at his clanmates in shock. He stared at them for a moment while he tried to pull himself together. "They've gone back to camp." he mewed, his voice strained. "You can head there too. I'm waiting for the other patrols to return."

Cliffheart nodded back to the warrior. It was relieving to hear that the Clan had gone home; yet, the way that Bumbleskip sounded had Cliffheart pausing. "Are you alright, Bumbleskip?"

Bumbleskip blinked, emotions rising and falling in the tom's chest as he tried to formulate the correct answer. "I'm fine Cliffheart." he mewed eventually. "I'm just still mourning. I don't know if I'm ready to return to see Redspark and Mosspaw's bodies for the vigil." He looked down, trying to relax as a new wave of sorrow rolled over him. "You should go, you both have family to return to."

"I know it's hard, Bumbleskip." Cliffheart gave the tom a sympathetic look, still believing that his own mate was alive. "And going on without them will be even harder, but take solace in knowing you'll be reunited with them in StarClan someday." He smiled softly. "Redspark and Mosspaw will be watching over you, Hazelblaze, and Vixenflame. So, give them something worth watching."

Bumbleskip narrowed his eyes, before catching himself and forcing his face into a neutral expression. He couldn't let the clan know he had turned his back on their ancestors, they would surely kick him out! He faked a smile, nodding to Cliffheart. "You're right. I just need some time that's all."

Cardinalblaze watched them, a curl of unease in his belly. Something felt off, but the tom could not put his paw on it. He swallowed, shaking his nerves away as he mewed. “Vixenflame was an incredible apprentice...I know how much she looks up to you, Bumbleskip. I also know that we will support you too, as your clanmates, and friends.”

"If you ever need someone to talk too, just come find me." Cliffheart gave the other tom a kind smile. He then glanced back at Cardinalblaze and nodded before heading in the direction of camp. As he did, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sun was shining now, but the stars would be out later. A pang of jealousy pricked at his heart. Bumbleskip would get to see his mate and kits again when he passed on, but Cliffheart would never see his loved ones again after he died.

Bumbleskip watched them go, sending them off with a wave of his tail. He thought about Cardinalblaze's comment, guilt covered him as he thought about how he could barely look as his daughter before the clan had left. She was almost a direct copy of Redspark, how would he ever be able to face her again? He groaned quietly in frustration he promised he would spend as much time with his kits as he could, he wouldn't let them feel forgotten or unloved and here he was pushing them away.

Swiftstar stood at the top of the clearing to Fourtrees. As they had made their way through the silver of forest that connected the moorland to Fourtres, he had felt his stomach sink to his paws. As damaged as their territory was from the fire, it was nothing compared to the charred stumps that littered the forest. He tried to imagine what it would be like spending your whole life under trees, only to have them burned away in a moment. He flicked his tail clearly lost in thought, than gave a quick shake of his head. WindClan would be the first into the gathering, that much was clear. The other clan's scents had yet to mingle with theirs, but the scent of ShadowClan was fresher than the rest.
Giving his tail a quick flick, he raced down into the clearing, leading his clan into the gathering.
Silverspirit, Dustfire, and Fireblaze all followed Swiftstar into the gathering.

(Oooh...I forgot that ShadowClan has scent markers claiming Fourtrees ) Dashclaw followed his leader into the clearing, his whiskers twitching at the sharp scent of ShadowClan; however, the Clan of the Night was nowhere to be seen.

((You know it's fine haha. Swiftstar won't care at least haha))
Swiftstar padded towards the base of the Great Rock. He didn't care to sit up there alone, he would make the leap up when another clan arrived. Until then he stayed down with the rest of his clan.
Fireblaze's nose twitched as she trotted into the gathering. "Ugh you would think ShadowClan made their camp on top of the Great Rock for StarClan's sake!" She said, irritation rippling through her voice. "You would think they would have gone back home by now."

Blacktail padded after his leader, making sure the clan was not getting caught up by any obstacles. It was certainly foreboding, to see so much destruction. At the very least, he could find solace that his kits were all unharmed. Rookkpaw and Cobblepaw were padding at his side.
Thorndash padded silently, the death of his sister weighing down on his usually energetic persona. He nearly got into a squabble with Tinyflower, who stomped sharply near him.
Soarpaw hoped that Weaselpaw would be okay in camp. Antpaw seemed conflicted, as though he wanted to say something.

Dashclaw glanced over at Fireblaze at her comment, then glanced at Swiftstar. He hadn't been there when Swiftstar and Dawnshadow returned to camp from ShadowClan. He didn't think the leader made an announcement about it, but he couldn't help but wonder what Swiftstar saw in ShadowClan's territory. "You two okay?" Dashclaw looked back at his kits with a small smile, hoping that his expression reassured them and didn't worry them.

Slushfur followed the rest of the Clan, Gustpaw and Silverpaw behind her. She could still taste smoke and ash in the air.

Swiftstar padded over to Blacktail. "I'm glad to see the four oaks were unharmed in the fire." He said to the deputy, his tail flicking.

"Wonderful." Soarpaw mewed kindly, the slender tom looking at his father brightly. He did not speak much, but his words were gently delivered and honest. "I'm glad that I could go with you tonight...after everything that happened, I think we need to come together like this. I only hope the other clans will be there..." He mewed worriedly.
"They'll be there." Antpaw mewed with confidence, nudging his little brother lightly. "They have to. Starclan wouldn't allow it otherwise, right?" He looked at Dashclaw, brightness in his eyes. "I'm ready for anything! Windclan has brand new kits, after all! That's a good sign, right?"
"I wonder how the other clans will look." Cobblepaw murmured, glancing back at his brothers and sister.
