A meeting at the battlefield and Mythicalclaw's promise

(Short story-event by:Rosepool123)

Two moons after the Hidden dangers event, the cats of Treeclan were celebrating the beginning of Newleaf with excitement. Treeheart, Cherrywing, Blazedrop and Ravenflight were doing the morning hunt, while Emberstone tried to collect flowers for the celebration and to give to Blazedrop. Meanwhile, Melodywish, Bluemoon and Nightstar were deciding what would each cat do to help.

"So... Are you sure that you... are going to be ok down there?" Nightstar said glancing at his mate,Melodywish."Oh its alright Nightstar~ I have been to the rough field before! Remember when we met?" she purred playfully. "Its settled then, you will go down to collect lavender, and we will search the camp for medical items." Bluemoon smiled. "I will see you soon!" Melodywish smiled as she left. The young she-cat went down to the field that she had first met her friends, old memories coming back to her.

She sighed and started sniffing the area in order to find what she was looking for. Suddenly, she heard battle yowls and growling coming from behind a bush. She followed as she was a very curious she-cat herself, as she walked through the bush she yowled alarmed as she saw a young tomcat, battling with a fox. "HA is that the only thing you have?" he hissed at the fox. The fox growled at him ready to attack but then Melodywish, alarmed, bit its tail. "Look out!" she screamed. The fox started whimpering in pain and ran away "It was just a fox kit... I know these creatures very well..." she said breathing heavily. "Hey..are you alright?" the tomcat meowed. "I should ask you the same thing!!!" Melodywish frowned. "My... name is Mythicalclaw... And thank you for fending that fox off" he smiled. "Mythicalclaw? That is mouthful... My name is Melodywish." she purred. "What were you doing fighting that fox anyway? "she meowed. "I was just avenging my father... A fox killed him when I was just a tiny kit..." he sighed with a sad tone in his voice. "I... understand... I lost both of my parents in a very young age... We were on a battle with Fireclan and..." the she-cat paused for a second remembering the loss of her parents. "Well I know how that feels... Did I mention that I lost my mother in a battle... when..." suddenly the tomcat started to tremble remembering the shadows of his past...

One night at the wildoak forest.....

"Is she doing alright?" Mythicalpaw mewed looking at his newborn sister. "Why yes son!" Greenpelt purred looking at the young she-kit next to her. "What is happening over here?" Mythicalpaw turned around to see his best friend Tetrapaw smiling at him. "Guess who just became a big brother!!!" he squeaked with excitement in his eyes. "Congratulations!!!" Tetrapaw purred trying to nuzzle him. "Now now Tetrapaw... We are too young..." he teased her. "Mythicalpaw! Tetrapaw! We are being attacked by Leafclan warriors!!" the cats turned around alarmed as they heard Celeste's voice. "Oh... no... no... not again...." Greenpelt meowed in horror. "Not again not NOW." Mythicalpaw hissed in fury. "WHY CAN'T THE LEAFCLAN CATS UNDERSTAND THAT WE WONT GIVE UP OUR TERRITORY???" he hissed again. "D-do not worry my s-son... I will go defend our forest... You stay with your sister... I will be back..." Greenpelt let out battle yowls and gone off to help the other wildoak cats. "But mother! You a-are a-a queen..." the tom's eyes were filled with worry once again as he tried to defend his newborn sister. "M-Mythicalpaw... I will go defend t-too, Celeste stay with him!" Tetrapaw ran off growling. "But...you..." he stopped when he realized that she wasn't going to hear him. "Its ok... I am sure that they will be alright..." Celeste purred.

After a while...

Tetrapaw returned to her friends with a big scar across her nose and breathing heavily. "TETRAPAW! ARE YOU HURT?" Mythicalpaw yowled as he saw her in awful condition."I-I a-am o-ok... It was my choice... to..." the she-cat paused and almost fainted from exhaustion. "Its alright dear... You need your rest..." Celeste meowed softly. "You even got a scar across your nose..." she whispered. The tiny she-kit started mewing softly as she snuggled her brother, having no clue what was going on. Suddenly, Mythicalpaw trembled as he remembered someone "My... mother... Were is my MOTHER??" he yowled. "I-I am so... sorry I did my best.... I lost her...." Tetrapaw cried. Mythicalpaw tripped off for a second and tried to endure the truth. He looked at his friends and at his sister in pain as he broke out crying, he had felt this pain with his father... And now with his mother.... Why?Tetrapaw and Celeste looked at him sadly and lowered their heads. "I am sorry... This is all my fault..." Tetrapaw sighed. "N-no don't blame yourself... You are just a young cat after all! You were brave and that is all that matters." Mythicalpaw sighed trying to calm the she-cat down. In pain, he looked at his sister that had fallen asleep in his paws all calmed down... If she knew what just happened. Mythicalpaw murmured to her sadly "I will take care of you... You are the only one I have left.." he continued as his friends sat beside him. "I am the only one you have left too.... I will not let you suffer the same fate.... I promise... Firefly...." he whispered as he lied down to sleep.

Mythicalclaw started staring at the ground and remembering that he let his sister get captured by an eagle, he murmured "M-my p-promise I-I b-broke m-my...." he whispered in shock. "Mythicalclaw?" Melodywish meowed. The tomcat shook his head and sighed "I am fine..." he mewed. "I need to go now... Nightstar and Treeheart need me to hunt for-", "Wait...did you say...TREEHEART?" Melodywish's words were cut off as the tom looked at her with wide eyes. Melodywish gave a surprised look to the tom "Yes he is my son."she smiled, a hopeful look appeared on Mythicalclaw's eyes as he asked another question. "Does he have two friends named... Cherrywing and Maplesong by any chance?" he smiled. "Oh...yeah they are his best friends! Cherrywing is his new mate and... Wait." Melodywish paused. "How do you know all of these things?" she said giving a curious look at Mythicalclaw. He shook his head and his eyes started glimmering with excitement "I will explain later. Please you NEED to take me to him!" he mewed. "Alright! Alright! Our camp is this way follow me" Melodywish and Mythicalclaw started running towards Treeclan camp...

As the two went into the forest, Mythicalclaw noticed that a black tomcat with green eyes was coming towards them. "Um...Melodywish... Do you know who this cat is?" he mewed alarmed. "Oh, don't worry! That is my mate, Nightstar" she smiled. Nightstar finally came to them filled with questions "Melodywish did you find the lavender? Also who is this, he smells weird." he mewed glaring at Mythicalclaw. "His name is Mythicalclaw,a wondering.... Loner? Rough field cat? Anyways I saved him from a fox kit, a big one." she explained. "For some reason he wants to see our son..." she mewed. "I see...." Nightstar whispered. "Treeheart! Come here!" he yowled. Then a brown tomcat with green eyes appeared "Who wants to see me fa-" Treeheart's words were cut off as he recognized the cat standing before him. That glare, those scars, it was the tom from the wildoak forest! "N-n-no way... Is it really you?" Treeheart mewed shocked as he sniffed the tomcat. Mythicalclaw smiled and gave a friendly meow to his old friend "Yes Its me... Oh I never got to tell you my name, I am Mythicalclaw and I want to join your clan!" he smiled. "Ohhhh so you are Myth-wait... YOU WANT TO JOIN???" Treeheart gasped shocked. "Well you see my friend... After you left, Celeste, Tetranose and I were trying to find in which clan you were so we could join!" Mythicalclaw purred. "I am so glad that you want to join... Wait... I need to find Cherrywing..." Treeheart ran off excited.

When the old friends met again, it was time that everyone would go to sleep. Mythicalclaw lied down at the mossbed that was made for Treeclan warriors, he could not believe that he would be one of these cats one day... The ceremony for him to become a warrior was tomorrow, but was it worth it? Leaving his freedom behind, all of his memories, his habit of running as fast as he could and climbing on trees... That forest means a lot for him but he lost his entire family there, Nightshade and.... Since he was going to get his friends into the clan too.... There was nothing left for him in the wildoak forest except from his memories. The tomcat sighed and closed his eyes all calmed down, somewhat excited for tomorrow, it was going to be a new beginning...

Early in the morning.

"Mythicalclaw! Come on wake up!" Melodywish whispered to the young tom's ear. Mythicalclaw yawned and flicked his tail "Melodywish.... What are you doing... Its really early...." he yawned. "I want to talk to you for a moment..." the she-cat whispered. The tom got up and sat in front of her, yawning "What do you want to tell me? I am all ears!" he meowed. Melodywish sighed "Are you sure that you are ok with leaving your home?" she meowed. Mythicalclaw sighed "Well.... It is not so easy....I grew up there... Almost...". 'It wasn't easy for me to leave Floralclan and create Treeclan either." she said quietly. "So you know how I feel..." he meowed. "Soon enough everyone will wake up and the ceremony will start, make up your mind." Melodywish smiled at him and dashed off to go eat from the fresh kill pile.

Some time later.

Mythicalclaw was running across the forest with excitement, it was almost time that everyone would wake up and he would become a member of Treeclan. Suddenly, he caught a familiar scent of two she-cats coming towards him he got closer as he recognized them. It was Celeste and Tetranose running at him and they were .....Angry? When Tetranose saw him she ran up to him and gave him a hiss. "You MOUSE BRAIN were have you been???" she hissed. "We were worried about you! We thought that something terrible happened to you or worse... You were kidnapped by **him**." Celeste mewed. The tom shivered as he recalled... events, he shook his head "I am fine.... He wont find us here... Anyways I found out where our friends live. This is their clan its called Treeclan, I saw Cherrywing and Treeheart, they are mates now!" he mewed. "I-I am going to join the clan... In a little bit, everyone will wake up and throw a ceremony, for me to become a warrior!" he purred playfully. "Oh... You are going to leave..." Celeste glanced at him sadly. "If you are going I am coming with you!" Tetranose meowed. "A-are you sure you want to leave the forest..." Celeste mewed sad trying hard to hide it. "Celeste... I... We have suffered enough there... As much as I enjoy it... I decided that its time for a new start... Look if you do not wan't to come its ok really... You will always be my... friend."Mythicalclaw mewed sadly. "N-no... I will come with you even though we are not mates anymore. Its just...the forest..." Celeste shook her head and accepted to join Treeclan.

At the ceremony...

"Wow...Starclan has blessed us! Three cats in one day!" Blazedrop whispered to Nightstar pleased. "Cats of the wildoak forest. Step forward!" Nightstar spoke with pride in his voice. The trio stepped forward "I understand that being in a clan wont be easy for you, you are used to free will and eating what you catch instead of sharing it. But if you want to join our clan you will have to defend the warrior code... So do you accept?" Nightstar mewed and glanced at the three cats."I do!" Mythicalclaw mewed with pride. "I do." Tetranose mewed silently. "I.... do..."Celeste mewed. "Celeste do you wish to **change** your name into a warrior's?" Nighstar asked the she-cat. "N-no I want to keep being Celeste thank you..." she mewed. "Then... With the power of starclan I declare you Treeclan warriors!" he yowled. The gathered cats let out excited meows and congratulated the three cats. "Hey can I steal you for a moment?" Melodywish mewed as she winked at Mythicalclaw. "Sure." he said as he followed her. Tetranose frowned and rolled her eyes "Pffft... Looks like he already made a new friend..." she whispered to Celeste. "Seriously Tetranose...Look if you want him so bad then make a move!" Celeste mewed and rolled her eyes.

"Oh do not worry about it she is Treeheart's mother!" From the crowd of cats that were celebrating appeared Cherrywing with a smile on her face. "Wow Cherrywing! We did not get to see you at all today!"Celeste purred. "Its very nice to see you again!" Cherrywing laughed. "Where is Treeheart?" Tetranose asked. "Oh he is sleeping in the warrior's den he had a big day today." the she-cat mewed. "One more question.... Were is Maplesong? I haven't seen him at all." Celeste mewed in curiosity. "Oh he is not from this clan, he is from Floralclan." she mewed. "Oh....ok...." Celeste mewed disappointed. Looks like she and Maplesong weren't going to be clanmates... "Well I am off to celebrate..." Tetranose dashed off.

The next day, the cats of Treeclan celebrated the end of leafbare and the start of newleaf. It was also a big celebration to the big events that had happened and to the wildoak cats becoming warriors...

----The end----
