•Quick sketch of Brokenflight above! Will draw a better one later!

I hear paw steps thud after me as I race to camp! As I finally see the entrance my pace grows faster. I burst through and yowl/snarl out," Wildstar! Hickoryblaze has betrayed the clan and is mates with Birdlight,of Shadowclan!"

Everyone's gaze whips around in shock or in anger.

Wildstar emerged out of her den and onto the highledge.

"Brokenflight, how have you discover-" but was cut off by thudding paws growing closer and two blurs, one brown and one silver burst through the brambles.

"Wildstar I can explain!" Hickoryblaze gasps out.

The tabby and white queen's gaze narrowed into menacing slits,"so what Brokenflight says is true?"she hisses.

The brown warrior looks at his paws then passionately looks at Birdlight, full of love,"yes, I am in love with Birdlight. She is not having my kits though. Her mate, Birchleaf was recently killed by a fox. I have taken up the duty to be their father."

"You do realize that you have broke the warrior code? Thunderclan does not need traitors..." She trails off.

"Birdlight and I have both decided to leave the clans. We will search for a new home without rules that restrict us from being with eachother." He lifts his chin up to look at his leader directly in the eye.

"Very well, Hickoryblaze, Birdlight, you are both here by banished from Tbunderclan territory. I do not want either of you stepping on even a leaf of my clans territory. If you do there will be consequences." She ends with an edge to her tone. Then flicked her tail for them to leave.

They slowly pad towards the entrance. Hickoryblaze looks over his shoulder, his purple gaze falls on my amber one,"I'm sorry, I wish things could have been different."

I narrow my eyes and hiss at him. He is no one to me anymore.

"Snowbreeze, Sootfeather, and Brackenleaf. Follow them and make sure they are out of our territory," Wildstar ordered.

"Yes Wildstar," the three warriors mewed at the same time.

A tailtip touches my shoulder, I turn and see Lionroar's big Amber eyes filled with pity,"I'm sorry, I know how you felt for him."

I feel my heart burst and nod solemnly,"I will miss him, but he is no one to me now. I will get over it and move on,"I mew more determinedly.

He nods and pads off to talk to Loudowl by the freshkill pile.

Cats from all around were whispering about how losing Hickoryblaze was a great lost and that he was mousebrained not to be mates with myself to my embarrassment.

Snowbreeze, Sootfeather, and Brackenleaf padded through the entrance and announced that the traitors had left the territory for good.

'Thank Starclan,'I praise, tired of having to deal with the brown warrior.

At that Wildstar raised her chin,"Let all cats old enough to stalk their own prey gather beneath the high rock for a clan meeting!"

'Well that's odd,' I muse.

"Cats of Thunderclan! We have lost one warrior, but are about to train three kits to become warriors!"she yowled out.

'Hollyberry's kits!' I realize with excitement.

"Briarkit, Crowkit, and Redkit step forward!" She called out.

"You three have reached your sixth moon of kitship! It is time that you are to start your warrior training as apprentices! Briarkit step forward!"

The young dark tortoiseshell she cat bounced over excitedly.

"From this day forward, until you have received your warrior name you will be known as Briarpaw."

The little dark tortoiseshell mewed,"thank you Wildstar I will work hard to be the best warrior ever!"

The older queen chuckled and let her gaze fall on the clan," Sootfeather step forward."

The dark gray warrior's eyes widened and padded forward cautiously.

"Sootfeather it is time that you have had an apprentice. You may be young, but I believe that you are ready for an apprentice. You are known for your patient attitude and encouragement. Pass on all you know to Briarpaw."

"I will Wildstar," his yellow eyes shined as he touched noses with the smaller cat.

"Crowkit, step forward."

The black Tom with one red ear padded over more slowly than his sister, his chin held high and his tail raised.

'He looks quite regale,' I notice.

"From this day forward you will be known as Crowpaw! Brokenflight step forward!" She called my name out.

Gasps filled the air, including my own. I was just made a warrior a moon ago!

I padded forward nervously.

"Brokenflight you are young. But today you showed great loyalty towards your clan. You have proven yourself a fine warrior for pushing yourself every step of the way to make yourself better. Pass on all that you have learned to Crowpaw."

"I-I will, mother,"I stutter and touch noses with the black tom.

Wildstar's gaze hardens at my promise. Her expression ripples with the same emotion she's shown towards me ever since I opened my eyes.

Guilt.

"Redkit step forward!"

The red kit padded nervously towards the tabby and white queen.

"From this day forward you will be know as Redpaw until you have received your warrior name."

Wildstar then mews with an edge filtered into her voice,"Tigerstrike step forward."

I look at my foster mother and purr happily as she prances towards Redpaw.

'She looks so alive,'I purred as I gaze at her orange and black striped coat gleaming in the sunlight.

"It is your time to take on another apprentice. You have been a loyal warrior and fr-friend," she chokes up," I am proud that you will train this young cat into the fine warrior you have grown into."

"Thank you Wildstar," Tigerstrike mewed sincerely and then touched noses with the nervous red she cat.

"Today is a great day for Thundercl-"

A familiar golden spotted tom burst through the entrance, his flanks and shoulders matted with blood.

"Leopardsight!" I gasp and dash forward to the wounded tom.

He leans onto me,"well hello, Brokenflight, would you be kind and let me speak with Wildstar," he whispers before passing out onto the dusty clearing floor.
