Nightheart here. We have limped back to our territory. Safe in our border, we collapse, exhausted. Wolfstar is pacing, her red eyes blazing. "What happened? We had them!"
I answer. "They had help; you saw that. The clan you nearly destroyed came to help, as did the others. Face it, if you want the brat dead, you're going to have to ambush him, and do it yourself. Going in a group seems to bring out the others. One on one, you versus him, proving you deserve to be the leader without question. You beat him, kill him, and any hangers-on will glue themselves to you."
She studies me, and then says "Is that a challenge, Nightheart?"
"You didn't fight, and some cats wonder whether we'll take all the risks, and you get the glory. Silence them, and kill him."
"I will. We all need to rest and heal. In a day or 2, I will drag his worthless carcass here so you'll all see that I killed him."

Harepaw here. I wander a bit. This is very different from the open spaces where our clan lives. Plenty of trees here, tall grasses, much like Thunderclan's territory and maybe some of Riverclan's. very friendly, too. I talk to the cats I pass, and they tell me about the old days of the Far Clans and about how they were destroyed, only Leafclan remaining. I am surprised to learn that Riverclan'e elder, Silverback, was from the Far Clans. I find Meadowpaw, their medicine cat apprentice, and ask.

Meadowpaw here. I walk with Harepaw. She is very inquisitive, and I recognize a fellow questioner. "When Silverback lived here, the clans were basically dissolved. he had no place to be, and Starclan led him to Riverclan, I have heard. he is welcome any time. We value our elders, and he knows many stories. Riverclan is very lucky to have him, so he can tell the story and pass on the history. maybe at the next meeting, all of the clans can hear a story."

Silverback here. I didn't tell them everything, leaving some stories for another time, even if the kits and apprentices pester me for the rest. "Next time!" I tell them. "A good storyteller never tells all, and certainly not all at once. If I did that, what would I have to tell you next time?"

Scarstar here. I hear the commotion when the kits and apprentices return with Silverback. I appreciated his taking them out, giving us time to make repairs without them underfoot, although we could've used the apprentices, but now they pester him for more stories. "Enough!" I shout, getting their attention. "He is our elder. Show respect. Apprentices, find your mentors. I'm sure they have work or training for you. Kits, to your den. Time for rest."

Treekit here. I never heard Scarstar angry before, and it scares me. Whimpering, I drop my belly to the ground, my head down, eyes closed. What do I feel? A paw on my head. I opened my eyes, and Scarstar's looking at me, looking worried. "You scared me!" I said. "I'm sorry! I'll go to my den. Okay?" She nods, and I run off, finding Mom. Why does she look sad? "I didn't mean to get Scarstar angry" I say.

Dreamcloud here. I pull Treekit to me. "It's alright, little one" she says quietly. "your father isn't coming back. he's left us. I'll explain more later. For now, go rest with your littermates."

Mossfur here. I am leading a hunting patrol near the bridge over the river. There's a scent here, that of a fox, but it's not fresh. "Keep an eye out. A fox has been here. We will tell the others when we return."

Smallflame here. The night is here, and Leafclan shares their prey with us. I silently give thanks to whoever looks after cats, I mean other than Starclan. Have to be higher powers that give us the prey and our home. Time for sleep. We get to share the warriors den, a spacious area of thickly woven bushes. Very warm and comfortable.

Mossfur here. There's another fox scent now, and it's fresher. "Wildface, go on back. Warn the clan about the fox." Wildface speeds away.

Charlie here. I am a bit bored, not feeling like a part of the clan, so I go to Scarstar.

Scarstar here. I listen to Charlie. Yes, it is time he learns the ways of the clans. "You and Spotpaw needs mentors. I will assign them in the morning. Rest now. You will have a busy day." As he leaves, I realize that I also need to tell all about Sneezepelt.

Scarstar here. I have called the clan together. "It is time Charlie learns the ways of the clan. he wishes to be of use, to be a warrior, to protect and serve the clan. To make this happen, I appoint Rockgrass as his mentor. The cat known as Charlie will become Charpaw until he earns a warrior name. And Blizzardpelt, you will be Spotpaw's new mentor."
I hear the murmur in the clan. Finally, someone asks "Why a new mentor? Where is Sneezepelt?"
"Sneezepelt has left us to join Darkclan. He became jealous and felt overlooked and undervalued."

Dreamcloud here. I pull my kits closer to me. "Jealous of whom? Who did he hate enough to desert his family and clan?"

Scarstar here. "He was jealous of Smallflame, of how everyone has heard of him and what he's done. Sneezepelt felt we put Smallflame on a pedestal, as though he can do no wrong and is to be worshiped as though the leader of all clans. Sneezepelt felt that he was nothing to anyone, so he teamed up with Darkclan to separate Smallflame so Wolfstar could kill him. Dreamcloud, I am so sorry. None of us saw this coming. If he had come to me, if he had said something to us...."

Crystalsong here. We all look to Dreamcloud, her kits curled up beside her, their eyes showing their confusion. "Dreamcloud, we will all help you in any way you need. Someone to look after the kits to give you a break, just someone to talk to, whatever you need. No one blames you for this."
Her voice was full of anger when she looked up at me, eyes blazing. "Where is Smallflame? He did this!"
"He's at Leafclan right now, and, no, he didn't do it. He was shocked when he learned."
"I belong with my mate."
"You mean to go to Darkclan? They don't like kits there. They just like hunters and fighters. Your kits probably wouldn't last long over there."
"I mean to go alone. The kits are now the responsibility of this clan. And tell Smallflame that I will kill him if I ever see him."
With that, she bolted out of camp, the rest of the clan running after her, the kits meowing at the top of their lungs.

Sunrise here. I call out loud enough for all to hear. "Stop! Without reason, she blames my mate. I will raise the kits." I come over to where they are whimpering. "Stay with me. You know Brightkit and Goldenkit. You can grow up beside them, as my kits. I'll take good care of you."

Sunrise here. I get right up to the frightened kits. "You heard Scarstar. She said where and why. Your father is wrong; Smallflame has done nothing except serve the clan. Things just happen that involve him. Maybe your parents will remember that and return. Until then, you stay with us. Smallflame will love you as though you were his own kits. Come now, you 5 could use some rest, so you'll have plenty of energy for the mischief you plan later." We 5 leave for the den.
