Sparrowstrike hummed in agreement with the kit "It might be a little cold, but your mother and I will keep you warm okay? The whole clan will be up here together! How exciting is that to sleep outside the nursery with the warriors?" he asked, trying to keep his voice light. Briarpatch shivered at the thought of the rest of her clan not making it here on time. She turned to look at Flarestorm "All of us rushed up here so fast.. do you think we should have stayed to look for our clanmates?" She asked guiltily. Flarestorm shook his head lightly. “If we all started running after eachother, we’d only throw more cats into the fire. The lesser, the better. All we can do now is be ready when they return.” He mewed, as assuringly as he could.

Sparrowstrike chuckled softly "Unfortunately no my little one, but we can play a big game of pretend tonight okay? What do you think you warrior name should be?" he asked, hoping he could keep the young she-cat's mind off of the situation.
Briarpatch shook her head, her gaze locked on your paws "I guess you're right. Sorry Flarestorm."

“Hey now, no need for apologies. I know it’s really worrying, and you’re honestly really compassionate, which the clan is going to need. I...I admit, that the fall scared me too...” Flarestorm admitted.

Lostwing shook his head, “I’ll only slow you down.” He coughed, “I don’t think I’ll be able to walk... you have to go, if you stay, then all of us will die.”
Rainfrost was shaking her head, she didn’t want to leave him there. But the young warrior did have a point. If they stayed, they would be engulfed in the flames.

Briarpatch looked over at Shadespots sympathetically "I hope she's going to be alright." she mewed quietly. "He was her only family, not that he seemed to really care about her that much... she cared about him. I couldn't imagine, I didn't really grow up with any family, but if I had a littermate die in front of me? I think I would be crushed."

“If anything happened to Poppyclaw, I...don’t even want to think about that.” Flarestorm grimaced at the thought of losing his brother. As stern and snappy as he could be, Poppyclaw had never let him down, and had always been there for him through any kind of danger. He looked at Briarpatch and mewed. “I’ve never seen a fire like this before...”

Silvercloud looked regretfully at Sunfury and Rainfrost. "He might be right..." she mewed sadly. It tore at her to be the one to make the decision, but Lostwing was right. They could leave him behind and save themselves or they could try to save him and get lost in the flames as well.
"Flyingleap! No! Flyingjump! No! Flyingwing! NO!" Flyinkit's eyes only got wider and wider at the prospect of her warrior name. "Oh! I know! I wanna be Flyingstar!"

Spiritstar let out a low growl looking at the flames as they spread her eyes narrowed as the leader heard the apprentice screaming. Seeing and opening she rushed forward hissing under her breath as her pelt was singed by the flames. Standing in front of her was the cowering Echopaw. Ears pinning back she raced forward nudging the apprentice, “This way! Hurry!” She instructed her. When the apprentice stared at her wide eyed obviously shaken to the core. There was a crack above there heads. Her ears pinned back grasping the apprentice by the scruff dragging her aside as the tree adjacent to them started to bend and creak.
Seedflight turned her head away from Goldfire’s body pressing her muzzle against her mates pelt shuddering that was a horrible way to go. Her tail swished behind her obviously troubled by what had just happened.
Cloudberry tried to not gag turning her face away looking at Starlingdust and Nettlesting letting out a shaky breath.
Wildstorm kept close to his mate concern in his face as his ears pinned back.
Dewpaw crouched low as she was hidden from seeing what her clan mates had just witnessed her ears pinned back.
Spectorpaw stared down at the body below before shivering taking a step back pressing against her mother.
Sootpaw flattened his ears looking at his sister then his mother. Lilith didn’t seem at all disturbed by this as she stared.

“Echopaw!” Frostyfoot shouted loudly, worry for his daughter making his body shake. He tried to rush towards Spiritstar and his daughter to help them out of the fire, though the crack of the tree made his heart nearly stop.
Cobrafang gritted his teeth at the death of the elder, turning to tuck his head near Seedflight’s.

Briarpatch shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the forest ablaze, her face twisted in both wonder and pain "How do you think the twolegs started the fire? It's newleaf now, it's not like the leaves and grass are brittle and dry anymore."
Sparrowstrike listened to his daughter's excitement, nodding with her as she listed each name possibility "Flyingstar has a nice ring to it, you're going to have to train extra hard if you want to be leader though!"

Lostwing gave them a sad smile, "Go." he coughed, laying his head on his front paws.
Rainfrost shook her head again before turning away, "Come on." she growled, refusing to lose another Clanmate. She took off for the cliff just ahead of them.

Spiritstar growled through the apprentices fur tugging swiftly out of the way her fur being singed parts in the blaze itself. The pain radiating through her body shooting alerts within her to pull herself out. Doing her best she got a better grip lifting her head as she tried her best to carry the she cat jn her jaws her paws scratching against the ground before bursting back through the blaze as the tree came crashing down behind them. The leader let out a pant setting Echopaw down trying to catch her breath but not able to get a good breath as smoke filled her lungs. Coughing looking at Frostyfoot, “Take her back... to camp....climb!” She ordered her warrior her eyes narrowed before taking off once more to find the rest of the patrol that was still out here her ears flattened as she coughed. The blaze was getting worse.
Echopaw was coughing and shaking looking absolutely prettified staring at Frostyfoot. She wanted nothing to do with him but jn this moment she was too scared to care.
Seedflight shuddered slightly, “He...he’s....,” she kept her face pressed against his pelt not wanting to look.

Flyingkit blinked at her father in confusion. "I can't have Flyingstar as my warrior name?"
Silvercloud flattened her ears. She pressed her forehead to Lostwing's. "May StarClan greet you swiftly." She mewed softly. With a heavy heart, she dashed after Rainfrost,

“I don’t know. Twolegs are insane!” Flarestorm breathed, his eyes flickering with nervousness. He padded up to Briarpatch’s side, surveying the territory.
“Echopaw!” Frostyfoot nearly sobbed with relief, moving to pull his daughter close to him, though his eyes widened as he watched Spiritstar begin to go back into the flames. “Spiritstar, I- You can’t go back there, you-“
He knew it was too late to stop her, and would be fatal to follow. Instead, he turned quickly to Echopaw and moved to lift her into his jaws. She was not a little kit anymore, but she was small enough that he preferred to carry her as much as he could. She would be far too petrified right now.

Lostwing watched his clanmates leave sadly before he burst into another coughing fit. He looked at the sky, wishing to see the stars again, but they were concealed by the smoke. His lungs heaved, trying to get fresh air through them, but could only get more smoke. Eventually, his eyes closed for the final time and his body fell limp.
Rainfrost started climbing the cliff, "Come on, hurry!" she called to Silvercloud and Sunfury.

Silvercloud sprang after Rainfrost and was able to make it partly up. However, when the ledges grew further and further apart, Silvercloud couldn't get a grip on the rock to be able to escape the flames, not with her clawless paws. Fear skipped in her heart. She wasn't going to make it!

Rainfrost looked back to make sure her clanmates were following and saw that Silvercloud had fallen behind. She hissed to herself, how could she have forgotten that Silvercloud didn't have any front claws. Rainfrost jumped back down to where the warrior was, "Come on, I'll give you a boost." she coughed, the place they were at wasn't the most stable, so they had to hurry.

Silvercloud flashed Rainfrost a grateful look, there was no time to swap words. She readied another jump and sprang when Rainfrost nodded, accepting the she-cat's boost.

Briarpatch let out an small growl, a sound that was somewhat foreign in the usually sweet she-cats mouth "They should have stayed in their own territory." she muttered bitterly "Now we're paying for it, losing our clans!"
Sparrowstrike placed his tail on Flyingkit's shoulders smoothing down her fuzzy kit pelt. "No dear, only leaders can have star and the end of their names. It's given to them when they go visit starclan for the first time and earn their nine-lives. Spiristar had a differnet name before she was leader."

Spiritstar frowned as she was stopped by another coughing fit backing away as flames rose higher and higher. Backing up she coughed her eyes watering as she called out, “Lostwing! Rainfrost?! Silvercloud? Sun fury!,” She called there names but the roar of the flames drowned her out. Fur sticking in end as another tree in the distance fell. Gasping as embers and debris were sprayed her way letting out a hiss as a few scratches from the bark hit her. Hacking it was getting harder to breath she couldn’t see straight. She had to get to her clan mates. Rushing forward calling out there names again the edges of her vision was darkening. Shaking her head she couldn’t give in. She was leader for starclans sake! Her coughing got worse as she staggered tripping over a fallen branch landing on the ground with a thud.
Echopaw didn’t move as her father picked her up not making a single sound too petrified to do anything in absolute horrified shock.

Rainfrost helped Silvercloud up and out of the way of the fire and smoke, and was about to jump back up to safety herself when the ground beneath her started crumbling under her paws. She let out a cry and tried to jump, but missed the ledge. The warrior yowled as she plunged to ground and hit it with a loud unsettling thud. Her body didn't move, her neck twisted at an awkward angle.

“They’ll have to pay for it somehow.” Flarestorm growled in agreement, his eyes flashing with promise. He hoped the fire would strike back at the twolegs somehow.
Frostyfoot clung tightly to his daughter, his heart breaking as he could practically feel the fear and horror radiating from her. He scrambled over a fallen log, pushing his way back towards the cliffs.

"Rainfrost!" Silvercloud shouted after her clanmate, her eyes growing wide with horror. No. Rainfrost couldn't be...Silvercloud backed up, high enough on the cliff that she was out of the fire' grasp. Rainfrost's twisted neck told her everything. Her clanmate was dead, and it's all my fault.

Echopaw didn’t react as she was carried her eyes were glazed over. —
Spiritstar struggled getting back up to her paws. Her body seeming to fumble with itself. Her limbs not wanting to work as she staggered to her paws. Her vision blurring trying to push herself forward. Coughing and hacking she fell forward the smoke becoming too much. No she had to find her clan mates she had to continue! Her breathing slowed as the light faded from her eyes.
(Starclan?! Maybe Rainfrost and Lostwing could tell her to go back to the clan so she isn’t out there looking)

Briarpatch's pelt began to rise as she thought more about the twolegs "They better not come scouting around here looking at the damage of the fire." she mewed, looking over at him, a fire in her eyes. Her tail was nearly lashing at the thought, "If they come in this forest, where they don't belong they will pay."

Her tail was nearly lashing at the thought, "If they come in this forest, where they don't belong they will pay." Flarestorm opened his jaws to respond, only to cut off as he heard the quiet but even mew of Cardinalblaze from below them. The Shadowclan tom had seemed to hear them both. “Fire blew out, in a way that we never had seen before. Whatever they had done, the Twolegs created a fire stronger than ever before. It spread fast...” He sighed.

Spiritstar let out a cough as she came back too gasping from breath. Shaking her head she coughed loudly getting back to her paws her eyes narrowed. Moving ahead her ears pinned back as she started running for camp. The fire was getting even worse cutting off known ways back to camp. She struggled getting back to camp though bursting through the camp entrance she rushed towards the cliffs tensing slightly seeing Rainfrost’s and Goldfire’s bodies. Trying hard to tear her gaze away the smoke was gettting worse down here as she leapt trying to climb up swiftly.

It can be the camp cliffs if it makes things easier! ^.^)
