Severance V2

## About

Severance V2 was the third game made prior to Once a FireClan Warrior, and the second game in the planned story, after the unfinished West Woods Foundations.

Severance is an interactive story where you play as Bramblestar’s most trusted warrior, Honeywing, and complete quests as a rogue group plan to and finally separate from BrambleClan, separating families and friends, even the cats you're closest to.

Here begins the BrambleClan and FireClan feud.

## Storyline

The story starts off with a conversation between Honeywing and Bramblestar with Honeywing telling her leader that Squirrelstar was escorted out of the territory. After dismissal, Honeywing questions Bramblestar about why he had separated from ThunderClan. The answer Honeywing receives isn't enough and she calls Bramblestar foolish who, in return, turns away speechless.

Now able to control your character, several Clanmates have something they want your help with. Duskpaw is anxious about his missing sister Mosspaw and needs confirmation that someone is looking for her. Ryepaw wants help picking out a gift for his crush Lilacpaw. Shallowstripe wants you to look for his missing mate Lilyshine. Foxleap wants you to notify Milkypaw of Gorsetail possibly being ill. Gemstone wants you to take the kits out of the nursery for a while so they don't bother their mother Creamfrost while she sleeps. You're able to complete the other quests while you watch over the kits, but you need to return them to continue the story. Liontail also wants you to find a gem to cheer up Shallowstripe, but at this point in the story, Flamepelt is blocking the entrance to the cave.

After all the previous quests are completed, the sky will be at high sun. Falconkit will let you know that his chest was hurting terribly and to notify the medicine cats right away. Unfortunately, after doing so, Falconkit will be found dead in the leader's den. Ivyheart will bring back Mosspaw and sit sadly by the den to mourn. Torrentclaw will request that you bring his pregnant mate Lynxheart food. Flamepelt will have moved from her hunting, and you will be able to find a gem for Shallowstripe and cheer him up a little. Fisherclaw can now be found at the hunting grounds thinking deeply about a secret mission. He allows you to help if Bramblestar gives you permission. You are tasked to find out what's going on with Firewing, as there had been rumors of a rebellion. Gorsepaw and Beepaw incite you on a gathering happening at sunset that Firewing hosts, and when reported to Bramblestar, you are advised to attend.

During the meeting, Firewing explains the urgency to split from BrambleClan as Bramblestar was earning more followers to outnumber them. After the cats disperse, Badgerface attacks you, knowing you were a spy. You both live through the fight, but either character will have scars. Ivyheart will beg that you take a walk with him since you had been working so hard lately only to run into his friend Ashtail who introduces herself to you as a new rogue recruit which leads into a time skip. Mosspaw is now missing again. Ryepaw, Redpaw, Webbedpaw, Lilacpaw, and Whitepaw become warriors while Darkkit, Hollykit, and Willowkit become apprentices. You are assigned a mentor to Hollypaw. You are able to train Hollypaw while speaking with Ivyheart about relaxing more. He lets you know that Fisherclaw wants to speak with you, but afterwards, he wants to show you the gift he got for you. Fisherclaw warns you that during the split, he wants you to leave your family and BrambleClan to aid as a spy in the upcoming FireClan. Though you protest, you are forced into continuing with the secret plan. Ivyheart will be very excited to show you the arrangement him and your daughter Beepaw had organized at the shore.

When all the quests are complete, Milkypaw will scream for help. When seeing what's going on, she will be frantic for the missing Oakshine. She tells you that her kits are coming, but Badgerface attacks you again. After the fight, Badgerface dies and Milkypaw faints, leading into another time skip cutscene. Milkywillow had become a full medicine cat and her kit Goldenkit is able to speak. FireClan splits from BrambleClan, and everyone begs their family to stay, Ivyheart included. The game ends as you leave for FireClan, unable to let your mate know about the secret task.
