==Quotes==
❝ Nightshade trotted after Webstrike, flicking an ear as they came to a halt. He padded over to him, sighing quietly. Why did you leave so soon? We were suppose to be their for each other..why did Starclan take you too soon. He winced, lifting his head as he felt a gentle breeze ruffle through his fur. ❞
