Silvercloud nodded again. "We'll work on reinforcing it first and worry about decorating later." She looked to the camp entrance. "Want to go with me to see if we can find any sturdy branches or brambles?"
"Ugh, you two?" Spiderpaw groaned at Firefang's request. "I'm trying to see any yarrow or coltsfoot was spared, give me a minute. Unfortunately, most of our herbs were wasted on Sunswallow when the fool decided to die of his burns instead of live--the foxheart." Spiderpaw spat toward the ground and stuck his head back into the herb storage. "Wait over there in the meantime." He pointed with his tail to the charred nests in the den.
Splashecho looked up towards the leader's den and she flattened her ears in sorrow seeing Spiritstar sitting by herself. Trusting her kits to be good, Splashecho got up and climbed the cliff to reach the leader. "Spiritstar? Are you alright?"

Spiritstar almost didn't notice her niece until she spoke snapping her out of her thoughts, "Oh Splashecho....yes I am alright," she meowed though trying to shake off the feelings eating her alive. Trying to force them down so they wouldnt show, she was leader after all she had to be strong and they didnt need to worry about her. She needed to worry about them and there safety, "How are you? You doing ok? Your kits alright?" she asked defecting her question back at her.

Splashecho nodded. "I'm okay and my kits are fine." She smiled softly down the cliff where Flyingkit was playing with her siblings. "I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around what happened." She lifted her gaze to the burned trees and sorrow quivered in her eyes. "To lose the cats we did..." she trailed off and sighed.

Pheasantcry shook out her pelt, arching her back in a stretch. "I'm sure we can find something." Firefang said nothing, not sure how to feel. That felt rather disrespectful to Sunswallow. "I'll... just wait here."

A sigh escaped Spiritstar as she nodded her head, "Those we lost will always be watching over us. They are with Starclan now forever walking with the stars in the sky," she meowed looking up at the sky taking in the darker shades above them. Keeping herself level headed she looked back down towards the rest of the clan, "I wish I had been able to make it out faster then I did...so I could have brought them to safety," she shook her head.

Silvercloud nodded curtly. "Good. You can search the trees while I search the ground." She started for the camp entrance. "Hopefully we bring back enough to rebuild the wall."
After a few minutes of digging into the herb stores, Spiderpaw lashed his tail. "Fox-dung!" He pulled out of the crevice with ash and debris stuck all over his pelt, but he did have one green leaf in his jaws. Spiderpaw padded over to Firefang with his ears tilted back in annoyance. "Only one yarrow leaf survived the fire." He placed the leaf down on the ground in front of Firefang. "Cliffheart was able to save other herbs, but those aren't the herbs to treat burns and cracked paws. Lay down."

"As brave as you were, Spiritstar, I don't think you should've run into that fire." Splashecho kept her ears back in regretful honesty. "What if you got trapped? What if the fire took all of your lives? Where would SkyClan be then?"

Pheasantcry nodded. "That sounds like a plan to me." She hoped her eyesight would be good enough to seek out any branches she could find.
Firefang did as Spiderpaw said, wondering if this was the best use of his last herb. Shouldn't he use this on someone with a bigger problem than me? he thought, but shook it away. If he said anything, it would just make him more grumpy.

"Great." Silvercloud headed right out of the camp, keeping to the ground to search for any branches inbetween the rocks that might work for the camp.
(I'm sorry Spiderpaw is such a twit, but I love him XD)
Spiderpaw inspected Firefang's pads before he did anything with the herb. He frowned. "Why didn't you come see me sooner?" He asked rather sharply. "Your pads are so worn, I'm surprised you were even standing a few seconds ago!"

"If I can do something it is my job to protect my clan and guide them. What kind of leader would I be if I didnt try to do something. I have lives I can spare to use in order to protect those I lead," Spiritstar spoke looking at her there was a gentle look on her face. Though there was sadness held within her eyes, the depths revealing her soul like baring your heart for all those to see. She felt such sadness and grief for those that were lost, she was supposed to protect her clan not let them suffer. She paused for a moment before speaking once more, "If I hadnt run into the fire I would have never saved Echopaw and even more so Frostyfoot would have perished trying to save his daughter. Which in turn would leave Whisperpaw and Dreampaw without any living family," she frowned shaking her head, "Though I know how to judge situations and wont leap blindly into things," she promised her.

He asked rather sharply. "Your pads are so worn, I'm surprised you were even standing a few seconds ago!" Pheasantcry followed closely behind Silvercloud, noticing how the air was still hazy with smoke and ash. She wondered how the other Clans were faring with the fire. Firefang grew concerned. "I didn't realize it was that bad." he mewed. "It was only a little bit of pain, really... and with the fire, a lot of herbs were lost in the fire, right?"

Splashecho let out a distressed breath. "I know that, Spiritstar, honestly I do, but I just...I can't help but..." She deflated with as sigh and hung her head. "You're the only kin I have left, Spiritstar. I couldn't bear the thought of something happening to you."
"The territory looks so different." Silvercloud frowned lightly at the blackened rocks and trees. "I almost can't believe this is the same place I was just walking through a few days ago."
"You must have nerves of steel if you feel only a little pain," Spiderpaw said flatly. He glanced back at the herb stores. "We actually saved a lot of the herbs to the help of that ShadowClan cat, but we used most of those herbs on Sunswallow's injuries and he died." Spiderpaw looked back at Firefang, his stare rather guarded and cold. "I'm going to use the last of our yarrow on you. So, DON'T DIE."

Spiritstar looked at her tilting her head wanting to interject and tell her they werent the only ones but she didnt want to quarrel with her not right now anyway. She moved to stand getting closer to her pressing her nose against her cheek softly, "Im not going anywhere Splashecho. This is my clan...my home and I will never leave you alone," she promised her. She wouldnt be chased off, she wouldnt leave, and she would fight for her clan even giving up her last life for them. Pulling back a bit to look at her, "I was lost once and I dont plan on that ever happening again. Im not leaving Skyclan....and I would never dream of leaving you. We are kin and we are stronger together," she smiled softly at her.

Splashecho smiled, relieved by Spiritstar's words. "Good." She returned Spiritstar's touch. "I always worry that the Dark Forest would come after us again, but knowing that you're here makes all the difference. The Dark Forest would never mess with you, StarClan's chosen."

"I dont know about Starclan's chosen....," Spiritstar shook her head flicking her tail. She didn't think that highly of herself she after all murdered her own sister to end the great battle of the forest. She was no better then they were in the end at least in her head. Her tail curled around her paws as she sat back down watching her niece, "I will always protect the clan and help guide us on towards the light," she told her.

Pheasantcry could hardly tell the burnt landscape from a moon ago. "I hope everything will grow back. It always does, doesn't it?" SkyClan was back to normal even after AdderClan, so surely it would recover from the fire. "I suppose so." The more Spiderpaw talked about pain, the more Firefang's pads ached. The pain ebbed through like a heartbeat. "I will try my best to not die. Some pain in my paws won't be enough to take me down."

Splashecho suddenly laughed a light-hearted laugh. "You don't know? Spiritstar, everyone saw it! StarClan themselves selected you to lead SkyClan after the Dark Battle. Much more than Cedarstar or Lightningstar, that's for sure. StarClan knows you can keep the Dark Forest away from SkyClan. They know you won't fail like Hopestar or Nightstar did and I know it as well." She smiled at her aunt. "You are the light of the Clan, Spiritstar."

(I'm pretty sure Sunswallow is the first cat Spiderpaw has lost, so that's why he's so irked and grumpy right now because he worked so hard to help Sunswallow, only to lose him...)
"These trees are ancient." Silvercloud paused at the base of the one of the territory's mighty Southern Live Oaks. "I'm sure they'll be just fine. Surely, they've seen worse disasters than that Fire?"
Spiderpaw snorted. "You would think." He leaned over to start chewing up the last yarrow leaf, but he paused before he began and looked back at Firefang. "I'm going to apply this to your pads. If you want it to help, then you have to stay off your pads, you'll have to rest here until at least tomorrow morning. If you don't think you can do that, then you might as well walk out of this den right now. I'm not wasting this yarrow on you if you're going to just walk around and wear it off. That doesn't do anyone any good."

The older she-cat looked at her niece hearing her laugh her head tilted before growing rather embaressed. She honestly didnt see herself like that, yes Starclan chose her but was she really the right choice? After all that happened? She had no idea how to be a warrior, how to hunt or fight and yet she was made a leader of the entire clan, in front of the other clans. It had been such a shock. "If I maybe honest I never saw myself as the light of skyclan. I always wanted to make my parents proud and make the clan proud of me. Though in the end I killed my only sister in cold blood. That doesnt paint a good light picture...its stained at best," Spiritstar sighed shaking her head there was a slight frown on her face.
(Now I want to reread the battle and how she was chosen! Is it still on the fourtrees page?)

"I think the trees are more resilient than us, in a way." Firefang's tail twitched. He didn't really want to be stuck with Spiderpaw all night, but otherwise he'd be in pain. "All right. I can rest for a bit."

(PPPPPFFFFF, I have no idea, Jules! XD That was definitely an event that I should've kept record of and rewritten multiple times in Story Page tales, but I didn't. Checking our Fourtrees Page, it looks like it starts with...Oh fudge, Swiftstar is WindClan's leader. I think the Dark Battle was lost to the old forums.)
"Robinstar deserved what happened to her, Spiritstar." Splashecho looked her aunt in the eye. "You did the forest a favor. There was no saving her. If you hadn't killed her, she would've still reigned terror over all the Clans. She needed to die and I swear to you every cat in the forest thanks you for killing her."
"Makes me a little jealous of the trees." Silvercloud smiled knowingly at Pheasantcry. "I wish I could be that resilient."
"At least until morning?" Spiderpaw urged.

"Some cats are more resilient than others. I think you definitely are, considering all you've been through." Pheasantcry spoke. She knew a bit of Silvercloud's story, and it was definitely a unique one.
"Sure." Firefang said simply, preparing to lay down. He didn't realize just how bad his paws hurt until he got his paws off the ground.

Silvercloud sighed through a smile. "That's kind of you to say, Pheasantcry. I wish I believed it." She started forward again, searching for branches. "What about you? You've got to be as tough as these trees."
"Good." Spiderpaw nodded curtly. He personally see to it that Firefang kept his word and without further ado, he started chewing up the last yarrow leaf to apply to Firefang's pads. "This will sting," he warned through a mouthful of yarrow.

"And yet she was still my sister...still my family. Like your father and Cliffheart," Spiritstar looked at her softly, "It is a wonder I turned out the way I did with the darkness closing in," she trailed off shuddering at memories she had long since buried within her mind. Closing her eyes flashes of the past came quickly causing the leader to open her eyes quickly, "I knew when I faced my sister I was most likely going to die and I was willing to give my life for the forest...for the clans...for starclan. I had no hope of winning on my mind for I was so sure she would take me out. After all I have had no former training to be a warrior...I couldnt fight to save my life and she had many moons of fighting and killing," she frowned shaking her head remembering the killing blow she dealt to her sister. The twisted look of pain and anger that flashed on Robinstar's face as the light faded from her eyes.
(I might just make a story on the story page from what i remember)

Splashecho flattened her ears at the mention of Cliffheart, but she pushed past her feelings for Spiritstar's sake. "You had StarClan on your side, that's why you won." Splashecho smiled at Spiritstar. "You had faith in our ancestors while Robinstar put her faith in Darkness. You taught me that Darkness can never beat Light and that's what happened the night you killed Robinstar. The story of your triumph is proof that no matter how great the evil, light overcomes."
(Feel free to do that! Honestly, I feel like the only one who posts on the Story Page anymore. I'd love to read your guy's tales. As for the Dark Battle, I remember a lot of chaos during that time and we had to skip a couple of Robin's and Adder's lives just to end it all. I think it lasted over a week.)

"Light and dark always go paw in paw," Spiritstar spoke looking at her, "Yes light wins but with enough darkness you can smother it; which is what happened with my littermates. From there they tainted many others till darkness became alive and well. Now that peace has spread throughout the clans light can recover and blossom. I swear on my lives that I will continue to live within the light and return Skyclan to its former glory. We will not be a clan of darkness. We will follow the light and be guided by our ancestors," she spoke nodding her head.
(Sounds good! Ill have to do it once I have free time! But it was a long battle and i remember a life or two was already stripped from Robin because thats what happened to Deadpath because she was pregnant when she died)
