# History/Past

Poppyfur is the former mate of Loudfang. At a young age, her and Sunstar became best friends. When Sunstar grew up and drove Lavenderstar, Mistwhisker, and Cloudtuft out of camp to become leader. She had been made the first deputy under Sunstar's reign. Later, Sunstar attempted to kill her after Poppyfur had betrayed the warrior code and DustClan.

Poppyfur left to go to LavenderClan with her kits, Leafkit and Moonkit. Ashkit stayed behind until Stonefoot got Ashkit back, who was later given to Mistwhisker and Cloudtuft. When Ashkit was killed by Stonefoot, she had blinded Poppyfur. Poppyfur's daughter, Moonstrike almost got caught by Sunstar, on a patrol.

Poppyfur came back to DustClan and lived as an elder, before dying of old age. Before she passed, she called her daughters over to the elder's den, informing them it's time for her to pass on to WaveClan. Leafsplash and Moonstrike had been tearing up, they wanted anything but that to happen.

# Perspective Story

I shake the dew out of my fur. Sunstar was the only thing on my mind. Leafsplash was licking my fur kindly. "Are you sure you're okay, Mother?" She mewed cautiously. She sounded careful.

"Yes I'm fine." I hiss, lowering my voice to a mutter. "Sunstar almost caught Moonstrike though- so how can I *not* be nervous?!" I spit.

Leafsplash licks my ears. "She's fine, she got a thorn in the paw when running away in the bushes. but other than that she'll be out of the medicine den, shortly." I sniff the air, ever since Ashkit had blinded me, I used my scent for everything. I smelled out where cats were, this scent training lasted for a while and ended up being very helpful. If I wasn't so pitiful, I'd be able to hunt again.

"Moonstrike isn't fine, is she?" I remark. "No cat can say they're fine if they live in the woods, provided by DustClan trees shade from the sun. A sun, blazing, scorching hot and dangerous to look at." I puff.

"Like Sunstar." Leafsplash mews, distracted by her licking my flank. I rolled onto my back and began licking my arm. "You know; you're very wise, Poppyfur."

"I have to be! This age isn't here for nothing!" I rasp. I think of Sunstar, she was younger than me, but she was still becoming elderly. "You know," My pelt began to prickle, remembering what she had told me. 'Lavenderstar's still alive, WaveClan refused to give me my nine lives.' I shiver. "Sunstar-" I begin, I decided not to finish my sentence though. I stand up, walk around, only to just flop back down. "I'm exhausted!" My heart pounding, my mouth waters. "I'm starving too!"

Leafsplash gets me a starling. "Eat." She urged. "I'm going to go check on Moonstrike." She pads off, echoing across the clearing. "You stay here!"

I sigh. "It's not like I have a choice, I'm an old furball on this moss bedding, never getting up to move, my prey handed to me, my life simple." I mutter to myself. "Oh what I'd give to be young again. I blinked back tears of regret. "I should've cherished the time I had, seeing, young, and free." I shake my head. "That's over, and there's nothing I can do now but move on and live in the present, I can yearn for the past, as long as I embrace the future."
