Seventeenth

The seventeenth Generations allegiances.

## ThunderClan

Cherrykit and Poppykit die as the herb drought continues, killed off by a simple kittencough. Finchkit is lucky enough to have survived it, as well as Plumkit, while Doekit and Rowankit never catch it. Dandelionshade, surprisingly, catches kittencough too, and ends up passing away as well due to a weak immune system. Wingcloud goes out of ThunderClan land to try and find prey, as that is beginning to dwindle without reason too. He never returns. Stripepaw dies from a gaping wound during the night. The apprentices are made warriors named Sleekstorm, Crowwhisper, Frogsplash, Fieldfur and Streamdawn. Brackenlily and Gooseclaw’s kits become apprentices as they return to their warrior duties, Plumpaw mentored by Lilynose, Rowanpaw by Newtpond, Doepaw by Ravencry and Finchpaw by Spiderflame. Willoweyes’s gives birth to Thickettwist’s kits, Duskkit, Talonkit, Heavykit and Brightkit. Graytail and Pikewhistle move into the nursery expecting Rosefire and Sleekstorm’s kits respectively.

## ShadowClan

Milkyscar and Icypaw are killed by “stray” BoneClan rogues who want vengeance on ShadowClan. Sagestar mourns her friends’ death deeply, along with Webwing who is terrified that her apprentice has died after her last altercation with BoneClan. She feels responsible for what happened to her clan. Sagestar tells her the truth about her lack of lives when comforting the young she-cat who had fallen into a deep depression. She gets hope that Hopestar can come back and fix everything. Every night she waits at the border waiting for Hopestar to come back. Ryesnow dies giving birth to Mudpelt’s kits, Timberkit and Cedarkit, going into early labor from stress. To everyone’s surprise, when morale was lowest, Hopestar returned, eagerly greeted by Webwing, alongside two kittypets named Comet and Grace, who are welcomed into the clan as Cometblaze and Gracepaw, mentored by Slateclaw. Sagestar reveals the truth of her leadership, and then retires to the elder’s den as Sageflower. Hopestar keeps Slateclaw as deputy. The apprentices become warriors as soon as Hopestar returns, named Larkbright, Feathersnow, Thrushclaw and Pineshine. Oatkit dies from simple kittentcough.  Bumbleheart and Spottedcloud return to their warrior duties as their kits become apprentices, Snowpaw mentored by Puppytail, Dewpaw by Fireripple, Rainpaw by Podfern, Hatchpaw by Hollyheart and Darkpaw by Victor.

## WindClan

Jumpstar is found dead by the RiverClan border and WindClan immediately blames RiverClan for it. RiverClan rebuts these claims, but Sunnyfire reasons that it could have been a stray warrior looking for vengeance, perhaps manipulated by the Dark Forest. Sunnyfire goes to the Moonpool and earns his leader name, Sunnystar. He appoints Finflight as deputy. While on patrol, Mintblaze initiates a fight against a RiverClan patrol, and ends up killed from it. The apprentices become warriors named Grassflight, Mosslight, Breezefleck, Dayshine, and Splashface. Heartpaw continues her medicine cat training, struggling. Jayberry returns to her warrior duties as her kits become apprentices, Sandypaw trained by Lostholly, Sunpaw by Rabbitblaze, Reedpaw by Flamefrost, and Greenpaw by Poolfur. Jayberry believes WindClan shouldn’t be picking fights with RiverClan and should instead try and calmly find out who killed Jumpstar. She decides to head to the Moonpool, believing maybe StarClan can help. She is killed, and WindClan is enraged, especially as they believe maybe a rogue RiverClan warrior really is behind this. Meanwhile, Birdcloud gives birth to Leechbranch’s kits, Dustkit and Dawnkit. Mosslight and Dayshine move into the nursery expecting Splashface and Cricketsong’s kits respectively.

Ashpaw and Dovepaw attack Mallowpaw, accusing her of being a BoneClan spy, and, despite Raggedflight, Pigeonflash, Fishpaw, Squirrelpaw, and other warriors attempt to stop them, the fight gets worse, Mallowpaw running away. Mallowpaw seeks refuge in BoneClan and refuses to leave, hating SkyClan. She changes her name to Mallow. Raggedflight leaves to join her. Fishpaw and Squirrelpaw become warriors, Fishwish and Squirrelwing, while Ashpaw and Dovepaw become warriors way later, named Ashfern and Dovesong. Vineleap returns to her warrior duties as her kits become apprentices, Cloudpaw by Flowerlight, Heronpaw by Beebird, and Smokepaw by Talonscruff.
