Sixteenth

The sixteenth Generations allegiances.

## ThunderClan

Horsebush catches a cold, and the sudden lack of herbs on ThunderClan land makes it hard for Spiderflame to get enough to heal her, and Horsebush dies. Beechpaw attempts to hunt a very large rabbit, but it claws her throat, which gets infected, and she dies. Thicketpaw is made a warrior without his sister, named Thickettwist. Sheinflower and Graytail’s kits are made apprentices, Fieldpaw trained by Weedfeather, Streampaw by Acorndust, Stripepaw by Lilynose, Sleekpaw by Lightshine, Crowpaw by Adderstrike and Frogpaw by Flintflower. Graytail returns to her warrior duties, while Shineflower decides to stay a queen like her aunt, Echobounce. Brackenlily gives birth to Fallowpelt’s sons, Rowankit and Plumkit. Gooseclaw gives birth to Dandelionshade’s kits, Doekit, Finchkit, Cherrykit and Poppykit. Willoweyes moves into the nursery expecting Thickettwist’s kits. Shineflower, normally a naive and dismissive she-cat, expresses distrust in Sweetlight and Mossyflight, and is found having somehow fallen out of a tree high enough to kill her, neck twisted.

## ShadowClan

Since they can’t find any trace of Hopestar, Sageflower decides to go to the Moonpool. She doesn’t receive any lives, meaning that Hopestar was alive. But, her clan was getting worried, and fearful, and they were afraid the other clans would find them weak and vulnerable. She takes on the name Sagestar, only letting a few trusted cats know the truth. She appoints Slateclaw as deputy. Rainbelly, Squirreltuft, Fallenrock, Stormcurl. Many cats are fearful and paranoid, untrusting of the other clans and of BoneClan’s new leadership. Squirreltuft openly protests against Sweetlight and Mossyflight’s leadership, even though his mate, Clawwhisker, is a firm supporter of them. He winds up dead by the lake one day. Rainbelly, being good friends with Squirreltuft, wants to investigate his suspicious death, and is killed as well. The two deaths hit hard, and Sagestar immediately closes off her borders, not talking to any clan and having her warriors attack any cat that gets to close to their borders, BoneClan especially. Fallenrock and Stormcurl both die after attacking BoneClan rogues who killed them. Sagestar takes back the order of attacking any cat too close to their borders. The apprentices become warriors during this time, becoming Puppytail and Flyshade. Ryesnow and Stormcurl’s kits had become apprentices before Stormcurl’s death, Icypaw mentored by Webwing, Larkpaw by Fawnleap, Featherpaw by Clawwhisker, Thrushpaw by Fireripple, and Pinepaw by Otterfur.

## SkyClan and Outsiders

Tabbyheart is strolling through SkyClan’s land when a fox attacks and kills her. Her kits become apprentices shortly after, Fishpaw mentored by Treefuzz, Dovepaw by Palestripe, and Squirrelpaw by Pigeonflash. The previous apprentices become warriors named Raggedflight, Birchshade, Quietsmile, and Shimmersun. Moonpaw isn’t able to complete his assessment until later due to being punished for aggressive behavior and disrespect towards clanmates. After he kills the fox that killed Tabbyheart, he earns the warrior name, Moonclaw. An elder running away from BoneClan tells SkyClan that BoneClan was responsible for the fox, and they give him, Reaper, sanctuary. Flowerlight returns to her warrior duties as her kits become apprentices, Ashpaw trained by Brokenflower, and Mallowpaw by Lightningdusk. Vineleap gives birth to Sharpshade’s daughters, Cloudkit and Heronkit. Nettlefang has a kit with a rogue, and brings him to the clan. He gives the kit to Vineleap, who names him Smokekit.

Unknown the cat realizes she's nearing the end of her life, so she approaches a young ThunderClan apprentice named Streampaw who had been wandering out of clan territory. She teaches Streampaw about the story of MoonClan, and asks her to keep it alive, to which Streampaw agrees. Unknown mentors her. Unknown dies a moon before Streampaw's warrior ceremony. Grace is born as a kittypet.
