Mosspaw knew he had almost reached his destination. He had listened to his mother's words, and he could tell Moonpool was really only a few day's walk away.

Soon enough, he would learn what he had been searching for, he would meet the cat he had thought died long ago, and he would know everything about his past. In only a few more days, his life would be complete.

This evening, he braced himself for another night of memories. Maybe today he would learn about his father! Maybe he would learn about Cindertail and Ashclaw. The possibilities were endless.

Mosspaw only had a small and thin tree for shelter tonight. The tree was thin and weak, it's branches looking like they would easily snap in the wind. Small leaves sprouted from the branches, and Mosspaw was afraid the tree would crack and break at the touch of its trunk.

Mosspaw slowly curled up beside it, though wind still ruffled his pelt, and a small leaf drifted down and landed on his nose. It seemed that it would be a windy night.

Before he could even close his eyes, however, a crack of thunder came from above. Raindrops began to drift down, and Mosspaw realized he was in the middle of a green-leaf thunderstorm. He had never been in one before, and he slowly sat up against the tree that blowed viciously in the wind. How would he ever get to sleep?

Knowing he couldn't sleep against the tree, he made his way through the thick storm, wind and rain blowing against his pelt with each step he took. He looked around, hoping to get out of the meadow that he has spent the day in, but he saw no signs of forest life anywhere.

Mosspaw ran now, attempting to head back to the forest, though the pouring rain kept getting into his eyes, not allowing his vision to work well.

He ran quicker now, leaves blowing up beside him. It was almost as if this storm were a late new-leaf storm that had forgotten to pour on the forest.

Quicker now, he managed to find a pile of rocks that he sheltered under. He quickly crawled under one, his pelt wet with rain. He shook it off then curled up under the rock. The thunder cracked above, and wind howled loudly. But Mosspaw was safe from the storm. It was all safe now.

He closed his eyes, ignoring the howling wind and rain, and he slowly fell asleep under he small rock.

He wasn't surprised to wake up in the glittering forests of StarClan once again. This time, Skycloud sat by a nearby tree, smiling at her son. "Welcome, Mosspaw," she spoke gently.

Mosspaw smiled, padding towards his mother who seemed to glisten in the forest. Mosspaw sat down in front of her, his tail curled around his feet.

"Quite a storm going on," Mosspaw spoke.

Skycloud laughed. "Just another green-leaf storm. Nothing much that we StarClan cats can do."

"So, what will I be learning today?" he asked, his paws tingling with excitement. He hoped in his heart it would be Mossclaw or Ashclaw and Cindertail.

"Petalnose," Skycloud slowly spoke.

Mosspaw's heart sunk. He had been hoping to hear about his father, but now he would only be hearing about his aunt. Though he was disappointed for a few moments, he realized he had not learned too much of her, and he began to grow curious.

"My sister," Skycloud spoke, "was my best friend. We did everything together, and and we were incredibly close. The day she died, my heart literally broke into pieces. Now, you must learn the relationship between me and her. Perhaps it will inspire you to have the same relationship with time siblings."

I doubt it, Mosspaw thought, but he kept his mouth shut as Skycloud slowly touched her glowing nose to his.

Mosspaw sat in the SnowClan nursery this time where Petalkit and Skykit played, laughter filling the air. Cloudkit sat with a ginger she-cat whom Mosspaw did not recognize.

Mosspaw couldn't help but smile at the two sisters playing, and it made Mosspaw wish he had siblings. He stopped, knowing he did have siblings, knowing that he had blocked them out from his life, the, blocking him out of theirs. Skycloud was right, he needed to make amends.

The scene changed now, showing sequences of Skykit and Petalkit playing, showing receive their apprentice name. They were shown training together, learning the ways of becoming a warrior. Mosspaw had not realized how close they were.

As they neared the age of a warrior, some more sequences were shown showing Skypaw waking up to find Petalpaw's nest empty. More were shown of the sleepy Petalpaw's during patrols, and soon the sequences slowed, this time showing Skypaw and Petalpaw's waking up in the morning.

"Petalpaw, Petalpaw, wake up!" Skypaw said, poking her sister.

Petalpaw opened her eyes and yawned.

"Petalpaw, you're never late. Are you feeling well?"

"I didn't get a lot of sleep last night," Petalpaw spoke, suppressing another large yawn.

"How come?"

Petalpaw shrugged and padded out the den, and Mosspaw could tell his mother was suspicious. The scene changed now, showing the two padding on patrol. Skypaw walked in the front with Icestar while Petalpaw slowly padded behind.

"Petalpaw, keep up!" Icestar yowled.

"I'll wait behind with her," Skypaw said, padding to the back of the patrol to be with her sister.

Mosspaw watched as Skypaw waited until the rest of the patrol was far away before talking. "I'm not stupid, Petalpaw. You weren't in your nest last night. Where were you?" Skypaw whispered.

"I guess I can't lie to you," Petalpaw whispered. "I was meeting a handsome tom."

The conversation continued as Petalpaw explained it was a rogue whose name was Rockclaw. She had explained how he had escaped from ForestClan and how they had fallen in love. Skypaw began to argue with her sister, but promised not to tell.

The scenes continued showing Petalpaw's eyes continuing to droop, her nests still being empty at night, and it showed Skypaw's worries for her sisters.

As they received their warrior names, the scenes stopped as it showed Petalnose and Skycloud near the edge of the camp.

"Uh, Skycloud," Petalnose said. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

The two walked into some bushes behind the warriors' den, and Skycloud spoke. "Petalnose what's hap-"

"I'm sorry! Everything is going wrong for me! It's all my fault! I've brought shame to the clan!" Petalnose wailed.

"Petalnose, I don't even know what you're talking about. You're loyal to the clan. Now tell me what happened," Skycloud said, pausing. "It's about Rockclaw, isn't it?"

"I'm expecting his kits."

Skycloud's jaw hung open in disbelief, and the scene changed as Petalnose spoke to Icestar who did not exile her. It showed Petalnose's stomach beginning to grow with kits, and the lovely apprentice Longpaw beginning to visit her, at one point proclaiming his love for her.

Mosspaw watched as Petalnose's kit was eventually born. A white and gray she-cat who looked similar to Rosefur. Her name was Mintkit.

Mosspaw watched as Mintkit began to grow and play. He watched as the young kit grew confused at her mother's tears each night. But he also watched her tears subside as Longpaw came to her aid.

As Mintkit grew older, not yet the apprentice age, the scene showed Petalnose in the medicine cat den, gasping loudly. It had been revealed that she was expecting Longpaw's kits. Mosspaw watched now as Skycloud congratulated Petalnose, though Mosspaw knew she had no idea how she would take care of Mintkit and her second litter.

Mintkit grew more, and Longpaw received the warrior name of Longtail. Petalnose's stomach grew again, and as Mintkit became Mintpaw, the she-cat cried out in pain and ran to the medicine cat to give birth to Longtail's kits.

Mosspaw watched as his mother watched her sister from the side as she gave birth to four kits. There was a ginger tom, Blazekit, a gray tabby, Riverkit, a white tom, Cottonkit, and a small gray and white she-cat named Ivykit.

As they began to talk, Mosspaw watched as Petalnose screeched as she heard the news that Ivygaze was mute. He smiled as he heard his mother's comforting words, and the scene changed.

Mosspaw braced himself, for he knew which scene would be next...Petalnose's death.

Mosspaw looked out onto the familiar SnowClan camp. Mosspaw watched as Thorndapple raced into camp with the bloody Petalnose on her back. Thorndapple's eyes were wild, and her paws were bloodstained.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Skycloud gasped. "LET HER GO!"

Thorndapple ignored this comment, slamming Petalnose into a tree. "Now she'll die for sure!"

"NO!" Skycloud hissed, beginning to claw at Thorndapple, only to be pulled back by Blacktail, her mate at the time.

Skycloud quickly ran to her dying sister, tears streaming down her face. "Petalnose," she began.

"Longtail? Where's Longtail?" she whispered.

"He's not here," Skycloud slowly whispered.

"Skycloud, take care of them. Take care of my kits. I don't want to leave them. Tell Longtail I love him," she breathed heavily, her eyes closing. She gave one last breath then died.

"NO!" Skycloud screeched, sobbing into her dead sister's body. Longtail ran in, a look of shock on is face.

"PETALNOSE!" he shouted in pain. Mintpaw came over, and Petalnose's four kits did too, beginning to cry into their mother's fur.

Mosspaw did not realize that tears were streaming down his face too as he saw all of Petalnose's family members cry and mourn for her.

"Come kits, I'll take care of you now," Skycloud said, motioning them over to the center of th camp as Petalnose was buried.

The kits cried into Petalnose's fur, as did Longtail, Mintpaw, Cloudfur, and Smokepaw. Skycloud hushed them though and whispered. "She'll always be in StarClan. She'll never be fad away."

As the kits fell asleep, Blacktail sat down beside Skycloud and sighed. "I don't know how you do this, Skycloud."

"Do what?"

"You've had so many family members die. One of your closest ones died today, and now you're raising her four kits and Mintpaw. You're very brave."

"Thank you..."

Everything faded, and Mosspaw opened his eyes to see his mother with tears in her eyes. "I'll never forget that day," she whispered.

"I'm confused," Mosspaw admitted. "Why was Thorndapple like that? Why did Petalnose die? How?"

Skycloud paused. "Thorndapple was possessed by her father, Scourge, and so all of her family was forced to move over to BloodClan until it passed, including Longtail. Petalnose was heartbroken because she thought he was leaving her, just like Rockclaw had done. Petalnose went after him to BloodClan, and apparently she had been thrown in a badger set where she had been badly injured. Thorndapple ran her over to SnowClan where she killed Petalnose."

"That's terrible," Mosspaw admitted. "Will I get to meet her?"

"Soon," Skycloud smiled. "You'll meet all of them soon."

With those words, everything faded, and Mosspaw woke up to the early morning light.
