Yarrowfeather's biography

```
I am not associated with Warrior Cats in any way. But I do like to write stories I read.

```

Yarrowfeather was a golden tabby with green eyes. She was a deputy, but when she got hurt, she had to leave the position. She lived in MoonClan all her life.

## Birth

Yarrowkit is born to Lilacmoon & Junipermoon along with Seakit. The medicine cat, Kestrelpetal, says both of them have complications.

A cat named Mudpaw helps Kestrelpetal with Lilacmoon's kitting, although he is a warrior apprentice.

Yarrowkit's is unknown, but she is not expected to live past kithood.

Seakit is partially blind. She needs special training to be a warrior.

## 1 moon

Yarrowkit has trouble breathing. She was given coltsfoot by the medicine cat.

Lilacmoon, her mother, doesn't know if she will survive.

Yarrowkit does survive, but it has been discovered she has a lung problem.

Yarrowkit's father, Junipermoon, dies from a rouge attack.

A vigil is done for him.

Yarrowkit becomes depressed.

Her mother, Lilacmoon, has a new mate, Deerstone.

Yarrowkit is told by a warrior that eating grass is healthy for cats, and she got sick. The warrior got punished.

A queen named Sparrowleaf gave birth to Airheart's three tom-kits, Desertkit, Snowkit & Grasskit.

Yarrowkit heals, but the Clan thinks there is no hope of her living.

She is regularly given blessed thistle.

## 2 moons

The Clan battles rouges. One broke into the nursery and kills Lilacmoon & Grasskit.

Seakit & Yarrowkit have to nurse from Sparrowleaf. Sparrowleaf is grieving for her kit.

Sunstar had died in the battle, making the deputy, Windpelt, the leader. She chooses Deerstone as the new deputy.

## 3 moons

Yarrowkit is too sad & depressed from the battle that she attempts to eat deathberries.

She gets saved, but the medicine cat advises her to get therapy. She gives her thyme, ivy & dandelion leaves to calm her down.

Yarrowkit then eats yarrow (hence her name), causing her to vomit.

She gets hurt while playing with Desertkit.

## 4 moons

Yarrowkit's stepfather, Deerstone, gets a new mate, who is Windstar, the leader.

She then expects his kits. Yarrowkit wants nothing to do with them as Deerstone was her mother's second mate.

Yarrowkit's mental state caused her to attack Seakit, whose vision is mostly blurry, and couldn't see properly what Yarrowkit was going to do. Sparrowleaf scolds her.

She is given poppy seeds by Kestrelpetal, and falls asleep. She is given Mudpaw as a mentor, who is almost a warrior. to help Yarrowkit with her sadness.

## 5 moons

Another battle between the rouges brews up, and Yarrowkit gets hurt severely. By this point, none of the Clan can even think anything close to a chance of her survival.

Only Mudbird & Kestrelpetal say that she is strong enough to survive. She is healed by Kestrelpetal, but is unconscious for a quarter-moon and a few days more.

Yarrowkit wakes up, but she is very badly injured, and her injures made her pelt look a little bare, and her face was scratched very severely. One ear was torn off.

Windstar says that Yarrowkit is very strong and is determined never to fall.

## 6 moons

Yarrowkit & Seakit become apprentices. Yarrowpaw is apprenticed to her stepfather, Deerstone, and Seapaw is apprenticed to Airheart.

Mudpaw becomes a warrior, his name being Mudbird. His grand virtues are loyalty & courage.

Seapaw says that she never liked Yarrowpaw to her mentor, and Airheart seems to agree.

Mudbird always helps Deerstone train Yarrowpaw, and she eventually heals both physically & mentally.

They never drive Yarrowpaw too hard, or over the edge, and she is happy with that.

Mudbird's therapeutic sessions helps calm Yarrowpaw, and she always takes a few calming herbs with her. She also wants to try out a few poppy seeds.

## 7 moons

Yarrowpaw learns how to get over her problems, and her depression goes away.

She doesn't usually need thyme, ivy or dandelion leaves to calm her anymore, but she is always given blessed thistle to help her cope up with her lung condition.

She slowly learns how to do warrior moves with hunting & fighting.

Windstar plans to make her a warrior when she is fifteen moons old.

Windstar also gives birth to Jaykit & Icekit.

Desertkit & Snowkit become apprentices, the former to a cat named Applestream, the latter to Kestrelpetal.

## 8 moons

Yarrowpaw has trouble breathing again. She has to be given coltsfoot & juniper berries.

Kestrelpetal says that she is a regular patient, and she knows her very well.

Yarrowpaw is shaken when another rouge battle happens. Windstar says that they should drive out the rouges one and for all.

Yarrowpaw & Seapaw have to assist Kestrelpetal with the herbs during the battle, and they carry plenty of herbs to the battlefield. While Kestrelpetal treats cats, Yarrowpaw watches her, and tries to treat another.

They manage to drive off the rouges for good, because Deerstone killed the rouge leader. No cats died, and Kestrelpetal says it couldn't have been done without Yarrowpaw.

Yarrowpaw truly fills with happiness, knowing she helped her Clan.

## 9 moons

She continues training with Deerstone & Mudbird.

Yarrowpaw says she doesn't think that some rules of the warrior code matter to her very much, but she follows them anyway.

A few quarter-moons after the battle, Yarrowpaw sees another intruder. She thinks it's a rouge, and a patrol goes and checks.

Windstar calls the rouge to talk, and it reveals it is a loner wanting to join the Clan. Windstar keeps an eye on him. He is Tallrust.

Yarrowpaw, Deerstone & Mudbird go to the outskirts of their border. They bring back a lot of prey for leaf-bare.

## 10 moons

Yarrowpaw sees her sister, Seapaw spending a little too much time with Desertpaw. Sparrowleaf also saw this, but told Yarrowpaw it was nothing out of the ordinary, and describes how she was all crazy about Airheart.

Snowpaw says to Yarrowpaw someone gave him deathberries alongside his vole, but since he was a medicine cat apprentice, he wasn't easily fooled.

Snowpaw & Yarrowpaw see Tallrust getting into a fight with Deerstone, and run to Windstar to tell her so. They are too late when they see Deerstone & Tallrust both dead.

Tallrust's body is immediately buried, but a vigil is done for Deerstone, including Yarrowpaw, his apprentice. Deerstone's immediate family cries the hardest.

Snowpaw later tells Yarrowpaw Tallrust must have tried to kill him, and wanted to kill Deerstone.

Yarrowpaw gets Mudbird alone as a mentor, and Windstar chooses Sparrowleaf as the deputy..

## 11 moons

Yarrowpaw saves Jaykit from getting hurt or even killed by finding him lost in the forest.

Windstar feels eternally greatful for Yarrowpaw's actions, and wants to reward her by letting her rest for a full day, but Yarrowpaw insists that her rest is her training, and that she can be given another reward later.

Windstar says she is very bright and strong, surviving and fighting literally all the odds that can ever be put against her.

## 12 moons

Yarrowpaw gets another attack of probably asthma while she is training with Mudbird. Jaykit tries to pay his gratitude to her by passing the needed herbs to Kestrelpetal immediately. Mudbird soothes Yarrowpaw, and she survives.

After her recovery, she ate some ginger in case she would get another attack, and ate more blessed thistle. None of the Clan wanted her to die, and some of the Clan really loved her.

She sees another Clan patrol on her territory, and alerts Windstar. She sent a patrol of three warriors (Sparrowleaf, Applestream & Mudbird), and Yarrowpaw to make them go back into their own territory.

The Clan was AdderClan, and there was two cats. They were completely visible to the MoonClan patrol.

Yarrowpaw happened to curse at the AdderClan patrol, and they seemed to start attacking.

But they were outnumbered, and the two AdderClan warriors went off. Yarrowpaw gave them such a scratch they didn't attempt to attack her at all, and ran away limping.

The three warriors said she had made them think twice about going into MoonClan territory.

Windstar finally wanted to thank Yarrowpaw for saving her kit, by making her a warrior. She is now Yarrowfeather, and her virtues are courage & bravery.

## 13 moons

Mudbird has taken a liking to her, and tried to kiss her, but Yarrowfeather says that she wanted to go on a hunting patrol with him *and* Airheart.

They catch some prey, but they notice another AdderClan patrol on their territory. There are four cats this time.

Airheart agrees to run back and tell Windstar, as he is the fastest, leaving Mudbird & Yarrowfeather alone.

Mudbird rested his tail on Yarrowfeather's paws. Since Yarrowfeather can't bring herself to scold him, she politely & gently tells him that AdderClan might think he has a weakness when it comes to these things.

Airheart brings along some more warriors, like Dappleclaw, Leafrain & Waterhide. The six MoonClan warriors yell at the four AdderClan warriors, saying that they should leave immediately. One of them spits back that AdderClan wants this territory, and that they'd fight if they need to.

They start fighting, and war broke loose. Yarrowfeather slashes two of them in the stomach, and pins down another one of them. Another warrior pushes Yarrowfeather off, and tries to pin her down, but she uses her strong hind legs to kick him off, and threw a claw at the side of his head, knocking him down, and kept clawing him.

All the four AdderClan warriors get severely injured, and one cannot make it with the other three back home.

"We have a prisoner," says Dappleclaw, dragging the body back.

Yarrowfeather perks up her remaining ear to listen what they have to say. One yells, "You'll never survive what Adderstar has to bring!"

Jaykit & Icekit become apprentices, the former to Yarrowfeather, the latter to Dappleclaw. Yarrowfeather likes that Jaypaw is her apprentice.

## 14 moons

Yarrowfeather trains Jaypaw, and tries to teach him the life of a warrior by telling him stories and their morals. She also encourages him to help the elders & queens to be respected. She also tells him the story of her head injury.

She realizes her love for Mudbird, and wants to show Mudbird that.

They both spend time under Silverpelt, and their Clan's namesake, the moon.

Later, Yarrowfeather teaches Jaypaw how to do the crouch, and other battle moves.

Snowpaw tells Yarrowfeather that Kestrelpetal loves her as a kind of daughter, since she could never have her own, both because of her med. cat role & her infertility.

Snowpaw also admits he likes Yarrowfeather as a sister, and wishes that bond could hold forever.

Yarrowfeather loves that everyone in the Clan likes her and loves her like themselves, and their loved ones.

Seapaw became a warrior, and she became Seastorm. Her virtues are playfulness & determination.

## 15 moons

Desertpaw becomes a warrior, Deserteye. His grand virtues are skill & honor. His brother is a medicine cat apprentice, so he takes longer.

He & Seastorm were doing something strange, as if playing with each other wildly like kits.

A day later, Yarrowfeather is ambushed by a ton of AdderClan warriors during her mentoring session with Jaypaw. She manages to rescue Jaypaw once again, but they come back badly injured.

Kestrelpetal looks sad at them, but she is welcome to have her favorite patient back again. Mudbird told Windstar about them being ambushed for Yarrowfeather, and Windstar got angry at AdderClan.

"They dare try to kill our Clanmates?!" she yowled to what must seemingly be AdderClan. "Well, if they want to kill, then they will have a battle given to them!"

A quarter-moon later, they are ready for the attack. They do an ambush on AdderClan, and tell some warriors to stay behind and guard the camp. Yarrowfeather, of course, comes, wanting to revenge herself & Jaypaw's injuries.

Jaypaw has to stay behind, along with all the other apprentices, except for Snowpaw, the med. cat apprentice. He had to aid Kestrelpetal.

It all started when a AdderClan warrior got pounced on by a MoonClan warrior. It seemed like the Dark Forest broke loose, because everybody kept fighting.

Adderstar & the deputy, Mousenose, snarled at the MoonClan leader & deputy, Windstar & Sparrowleaf.

The leaders started fighting, and so did the deputies. It didn't seem likely that anything strange would happen, but Yarrowfeather saw Mudbird slashed in the chest by one of the cats that she saw in MoonClan territory.

Adderstar wanted part of MoonClan territory, too, so it seemed like they were prepared for a battle, too. Except MoonClan did it first.

Adderstar leaped on Yarrowfeather, and tried to bite her in the throat, but she was prepared. She slashed his eyes, making him stagger backward, and jabbed her paw right in his throat. Blood oozed out and Adderstar fell down, temporarily lifeless. Yarrowfeather knew from being a Clan cat that he might wake up, since a leader starts out with nine lives.

So she moved quickly to save Mudbird. Yarrowfeather pounced right on Mudbird's attacker and tore off his ear. Then to immobilize him temporarily, she bit him atrociously severely hard on his shoulder until he yelped. She let go, and there was a big wound.

Kestrelpetal went to heal Mudbird, and she put tons of cobwebs and goosegrass & ferns. She looked over at Adderstar, and it looked like he woke up. He immediately tried to leap on Deserteye, but Seastorm saved him.

Snowpaw was getting clawed on by Mousenose, but Sparrowleaf sprinted in, screeching, "*Not my son!"* as she tumbled over Mousenose, and the two she-cats were really fighting to the death.

Yarrowfeather wanted to watch over Mudbird, and defend Kestrelpetal and him, but she knew there was still more attacking to do. She screamed as she saw Adderstar clawing at a lifeless Windstar. Yarrowfeather prayed she still had some lives left. Windstar looked like she had a seizure, but was still lying on the ground.

*She's losing another life!* Yarrowfeather realized. Windstar got another seizure, and still laid there.

"*For Windstar!"* Yarrowfeather screeched, making herself be heard in the entirety of the mountains. She bit Adderstar's tail hard, and tried to aim for one of his vitals. Adderstar turned around, anger flashing on his face.

But before he could do anything, Yarrowfeather stabbed Adderstar, and shoved her paw *right* into his ribcage. It sliced right into his heart, and scarred his lung. Her right arm became *really* red & bloody, and Adderstar collapsed.

Yarrowfeather withdrew her arm, and scratched Adderstar's cheek harshly, as if to tell him to stay there.

Most warriors from both Clans stopped fighting, and watched as both their leaders were losing lives.

Windstar lost another life, but finally woke up. She looked confused as she saw what was happening. Then she saw Adderstar's perished body right next to her. He got five seizures before nothing more happened to him.

*He had five lives left,* Yarrowfeather thought. *No, six. He died once before*.

She felt like she was floating but drowning at the same time. Everybody was staring at Yarrowfeather in surprise, including Windstar, who was right next to her. She might have died of embarrassment if it weren't for Snowpaw, who cheered, "Hurrah!"

Everyone else in MoonClan followed Snowpaw.

MoonClan seemed victorious, but Mousenose yelled in outrage, "*And what makes you have the right to take our leader?!"* Then Mousenose saw Sparrowleaf, the deputy, and slashed her throat.

Airheart, Deserteye & Snowpaw looked like they couldn't believe what was happening.

Before another battle could happen, MoonClan went back home, and a last sign of caution for AdderClan was a swipe on the leg from a saddened Deserteye, Since AdderClan seemed too weak to stop them, Airheart & Snowpaw took Sparrowleaf home.

## 16 moons

Yarrowfeather checks up on Jaypaw, and he's completely fine. So are the others.

Windstar feels frustrated that she only has four lives left. Sparrowleaf seems to be getting worse, and can't be a warrior at all. Snowpaw cries as he puts all sorts of herbs on her, and Kestrelpetal seems way too focused on Sparrowleaf for her liking.

Mudbird is only a little hurt from the battle, but it has healed already. Yarrowfeather is relieved at least Mudbird was okay. But she's utterly outraged at Mousenose, must be now Mousestar, at taking away the warriorhood of Sparrowleaf, and leading her into early elderhood, or maybe even death.

Seastorm has found a AdderClan cat on their territory again, and captured it.

Windstar felt so incensed at AdderClan when she was told that news that she wanted it to be extinct.

She has no choice but to choose a new deputy, because Sparrowleaf's either going to the elder's den, or an early grave.

She chooses Waterhide as the new deputy, as he's very professional, and already had two apprentices & is on his third.

Yarrowfeather has no interest to be chosen, so she doesn't care. All she wants is a life to be peaceful.

## 17 moons

Yarrowfeather realizes she is expecting Mudbird's kits, and is moving into her second trimester.

When Kestrelpetal tells her this, she feels sad, and Yarrowfeather comforts her by saying any amount of kits she has will never be even with the amount of work she has done to the Clan.

Kestrelpetal, being young, thanks her a lot. She says Snowpaw is doing great and will become a medicine cat in two moons.

Yarrowfeather tells Mudbird the news, and he feels nothing but warm & happiness. Then she wonders how she is going to teach Jaypaw.

"I will teach him the fighting & hunting moves, and you can teach him about the warrior code, and other stuff where you don't need to move," he says, and Yarrowfeather recalls when he was her therapeutic mentor as a kit, then an unofficial mentor in the first parts of her apprenticeship, then her real mentor after Deerstone died in the rest of her apprenticeship.

## 18 moons

Icepaw is hurt, saying she wasn't with Dappleclaw then, she was just hunting for the elders, and an AdderClan cat came out of nowhere, and almost killed her.

Windstar looks like she can kill with her gaze after she hears this from her daughter. She then yells, "*ADDERCLAN, DO YOU HEAR ME?! WE WILL DESTROY YOU!"*

Mudbird takes care of the physical training for Jaypaw, and Yarrowfeather does the rest.

Windstar then advises everyone to go with at least three cats on patrol, and if there was an apprentice, at least two warriors.

Kestrelpetal then takes Snowpaw to the Moonstone so that he can become a medicine cat. He is now Snowmist, and he's loyal & intelligent.

Snowmist almost gets killed while coming back from the medicine cat meeting, and has wounds. He & Kestrelpetal manages to treat himself.

Windstar doesn't wait for anyone to breathe when she hears about this and launches another attack on AdderClan.

Snowmist has to stay behind, and take care of his wavering half-dead mother who kept gasping as if every breath will be her last.

Yarrowfeather cannot come because she's a queen, but her apprentice is allowed to go since he is old enough. Mudbird is also allowed to go. A few fit warriors stay behind and guard the camp.

Then they see a patrol, and the warriors went into action. Yarrowfeather feels guilty she can't help fight, but Harefoot, a nursing queen, says that she should relax, and know that her Clanmates will fight their utmost hardest to defend us.

She talks to her friend Snowmist, who also checks up on her pregnancy, and talks about all different kinds of things.

Then Jaypaw runs into the nursery, wailing for help. He says to Yarrowfeather that Icepaw's mentor is dead, and she's going to be dead, too. Harefoot immediately gets up once her kits fall asleep, and fights, too.

Yarrowfeather falls asleep, but when she wakes up, she hears screaming going on in the nursery, and Harefoot's dead body. She sees Mousestar's evil face. She's holding up her paw.

"Well, you murdered our beloved leader long ago. You're a stupid queen, and this is revenge!" she cackles. But Yarrowfeather retaliates, saying there is a rule not to attack queens. Then Seastorm rushes in, and tackles Mousestar, and kits were crying everywhere. Yarrowfeather was surprised Seastorm knew what was going on, knowing she was half-blind.

"*Don't lay even a word onto my sister!"* screeches Seastorm. Icepaw rushes in, too, and, however wounded, leaped onto the AdderClan leader's back and started scratching her ferociously.

Yarrowfeather is still laying down, but when she gets up, it feels too heavy to even walk, very much less fight. So she lays down again in terror.

Snowmist comes in here again, and checks Harefoot, but looks tragic when he says she is dead. He also reveals that Windstar & Sparrowpelt were dead, too.

Yarrowfeather asks for Mudbird, and he comes in and asks what's wrong. He is wounded, but not as much as her other warrior Clanmates. She asks for more information about the battle.

Windstar's first two lives got murdered by the new deputy, Littlefight, her third by Mousestar, and the last by a queen, Sandgash. But Littleflight got killed by Harefoot. But then Mousestar killed Harefoot. Seastorm killed two more warriors, and Mudbird had killed someone who Mousestar abruptly chose as the deputy after the former one's death, Raintail. Airheart, Waterhide & Kestrelpetal are still alive and fine, but Airheart got blinded by blood pouring from his forehead and into his eyes.

He also started wrestling alongside Icepaw & Seastorm with Mousestar with the same determination to rip out all her lives as the she-cats did.

Snowmist had told Yarrowfeather that Sparrowpelt had already died while he was checking Yarrowfeather, and that he was already preparing for her death, and that it wasn't as sad as if she had immediately been dead in battle.

Snowmist looked at Mousestar as if he wanted to cut off Mousestar's head, too.

Yarrowfeather feels a depression once again when she sees Mousestar unleash her claw onto Seastorm's flank, and threw off Icepaw harshly. Then once again, she thought of her tragic kit days. She remembered when she wanted to eat deathberries.

*Does Mousestar know about deathberries?* she asked herself. She asked Snowmist for deathberries, and he gave her some.

Yarrowfeather said, "Mousestar, we give up. You can have the Clan all you want. Accept these berries as a gift."

Seastorm & Icepaw did not know about deathberries, so they looked horrified, but Mudbird & Snowmist knew what they were, so they backed away from it. Mousestar looked startled, and stared at them. "What?!" she snarled.

"Take these berries, Mousestar. MoonClan gives up completely. You can eat them right now if you like," responded Yarrowfeather. She hoped her plan would work.

Mousestar took one berry cautiously as if she knew it was toxic, but ate it. She looked interested and ate another one. Then she started to feel tired, but then she said, "What... what is..." She ate another one, but feel as if all life was escaping from her body. She pushed the berries away, and groaned. "This... was... trick... you... trick..." she tried to say, her voice wavering.

Mousestar tried at a snarl of rage, but felt way too tired. She couldn't even raise her paws, and felt like she was going into an eternal sleep.

Silence filled a few seconds after her death, then Seastorm & Icepaw looked at Yarrowfeather as if for an explanation. But Snowmist explained for them, that it was yew and that the seed is really toxic to even Twolegs.

Then Dappleclaw toppled inside, his pelt reeking of his own blood. He had way too many cuts, and so much blood was oozing out of all of them. "No!" screeched Icepaw in horror, running to her mentor. "Are you going to die?!"

He nodded and said, "This battle had been worth it. Some Clans should stay out of other Clans' territory, and we had shown Adderstar's Clan that. You will get a new mentor, Icepaw. All apprentices do. I will be with StarClan very soon..." he took a tight gasp as if he couldn't say more, "make sure- leader doesn't... fight... much..."

Then he died where he was, saying his last words. Now there were literally three dead bodies in the nursery, and Yarrowfeather thought it started to reek with Harefoot, Mousestar & Dappleclaw's bodies. The kits kept crying.

Suddenly a pain shoots through her belly, and Yarrowfeather lets out a cry of alarm, and the pain just gets larger. All eyes turn towards Yarrowfeather, and Jaypaw, Kestrelpetal, Waterhide (he isn't the leader yet), Airheart & Deserteye come in, too.

"What does *that* mean?!" Icepaw screamed.

"She's kitting," sighed Snowmist & Kestrelpetal. Then Snowmist's calmness dissolved as he hissed loudly to everyone, "*Well? Get a stick & some raspberry leaves, someone! Someone else, calm her down! Also get a pawful of borage leaves!"*

Everyone got startled (except for Kestrelpetal obviously), and immediately went to work. Icepaw got a stick, Jaypaw got raspberry leaves, Seastorm & Deserteye bring in borage leaves.

Waterhide & Mudbird tell Yarrowfeather to think about happy stuff and breathe. Snowmist receives the herbs and gives them to Yarrowfeather. When she ate the raspberry leaves, she felt some pain decreased, and it seemed like her teeth would break on the stick when she chewed it hard.

Kestrelpetal held Yarrowfeather, and watched to see when the kits would come.

Then after a while, the kits came out. Three of them. "Well, two she-cats and a tom," replied Kestrelpetal tiredly.

She named the two she-cats Lilackit after her mother & Sparrowkit after Snowmist & Deserteye's mother. She named the tom Dapplekit after the dead warrior.

She was fed borage leaves to increase her flow of milk since Harefoot had died, and her kits were still nursing. Another queen had died, too, but her kits were almost apprentices.

## 19 moons

Icepaw got Leafrain as a mentor after Dappleclaw died.

Yarrowfeather had healed from the incident, and was still nursing all seven kits. She wondered why on that day she had to kit, but she was fine by that.

The Clan had healed, too, and Waterhide got his nine lives, making him Waterstar. He had chosen Yarrowfeather as the deputy.

Seastorm had taken Deserteye as a mate, and happened to be expecting, too.

She was able to do a bit of Jaypaw's training again, but she still had to come back to the nursery every now and then to nurse one of her kits or Harefoot's kits. Harefoot's were almost two moons old, so they wouldn't need to be nursed anymore.

Mudbird still assisted Yarrowfeather every now and then with Jaypaw's training. It's only two moons before he became a warrior.

Jaypaw had asked Yarrowfeather a really heartbreaking question about how his mother died.

Yarrowfeather told him Windstar had died for her Clan, as a perfect leader.

Yarrowfeather also wondered who the new leader & deputy were for AdderClan, since there was no deputy for AdderClan before Mousestar's death. A lot of warriors had died in AdderClan, too, and they'd be too weak to fight against MoonClan.

## 20 moons

Yarrowfeather doesn't need to nurse any kits anymore, and usually watches her kits play.

Lilackit pretends to be Clan leader, Dapplekit, Clan deputy, and Sparrowkit the medicine cat. Sparrowkit pretends to put a herb onto Lilackit's fake wounds, and fake-put a cobweb on her & Dapplekit.

Yarrowfeather smiles as she saw her kits are having fun.

*If only I had this kind of kithood,* she thinks, reminiscing her time as a kit.

As the deputy, she also sends out patrols and such, but she still watches over her kits.

Nothing weird has happened to the Clan.

## 21 moons

Jaypaw & Icepaw become warriors. Jayclaw's virtues are courage & helpfulness. Icetail's virtues are skill & courage.

Waterstar's apprentice, Springpaw, and Mudbird's sister has also become an warrior, Springflower, and her virtues are kindness & bravery.

Yarrowfeather is proud of Jayclaw, Icetail & Springflower.

She finds out Mudbird & Springflower's parents were Sunstar & a cat named Heatherroot, but Sunstar is already dead.

Yarrowfeather continues doing deputy duties, and doesn't have to nurse her kits anymore.

Jayclaw falls in love with Springflower.

## 22 moons

Seastorm has Sunkit, a tom-kit & Salmonkit, a she-kit.

A few rouges come into the camp asking if they can join. From what has happened last time with Deerstone & Tallrust, Waterstar keeps a very good eye on them. Jayclaw and Icetail promise to rip their hearts out if they did. They remember what happened to their father when they were only kits.

Yarrowfeather's daughter, Lilackit says that one of them wanted to feed her deathberries, and Yarrowfeather almost blows up in rage. She tells Waterstar, and asks Lilackit which one. She says the striped black & white one did.

Then Yarrowfeather sees one of the rouges run to AdderClan, while she is on patrol by herself, and tell a cat, who's on Highrock, probably the new leader. The Clan looked oddly small.

When the cat tries to run back, she confronted him, saying he is spilling secrets. The cat denies it, but she takes him back and tells Waterstar. All of them immediately get exiled.

## 23 moons

Harefoot's kits, Littlekit, Goldkit, Palekit & Whitekit all become apprentices. Their mentors in order are Leafrain, Airheart, Mudbird & Deserteye.

It is only one moon before Yarrowfeather's kits become apprentices. She finds out she's expecting Mudbird's kits again.

AdderClan launch another battle on MoonClan, but MoonClan seems ready. They drive off AdderClan once again.

## 24 moons

Springflower is expecting Jayclaw's kits. Icetail falls in love with Leafrain.

Airheart becomes an elder. Goldpaw's mentor becomes Icetail.

Lilackit, Sparrowkit & Dapplekit become apprentices. Lilacpaw's mentor is Waterstar, Sparrowpaw's mentor is Applestream & Dapplepaw's mentor is Jayclaw.

## 25 moons

Yarrowfeather is found injured while sleeping in the nursery. An AdderClan warrior had snuck in and scratched her, but luckily her former apprentice & *his* apprentice (also her son) saved her.

Jayclaw & Dapplepaw asked if she was okay. She was fine.

Waterstar is more wiser than Windstar, being older, but he still is angry at AdderClan for having to try to kill them.

Icetail is expecting Leafrain's kits.

## 26 moons

Yarrowfeather gives birth to Windkit, a she-cat that she named after the leader & Juniperkit, a tom that she named after her father.

The leaf-bare happened to go through pretty smoothly, because it was going into new-leaf.

Icetail finds out Leafrain had a mate and kits before in his previous Clan. He admitted he had left the Clan when the medicine cat told him she was expecting his kits.

## 27 moons

Springflower gives birth to Deerkit, a tom that she named after his grandfather.

Yarrowfeather once again has trouble breathing, but Snowmist & Kestrelpetal save her.

## 28 moons

Icetail gives birth to Applekit & Tallkit, a she-kit and a tom-kit.

Salmonkit & Sunkit became apprentices. Their mentors are Yarrowfeather & Heatherroot.

Yarrowfeather is happy to have her niece, Salmonpaw, as an apprentice, and tries to train her the hardest.

## 29 moons

AdderClan's new leader, Duststar, and his new deputy, Jumproot (that have been chosen after a ton of fighting), declared a war over all of MoonClan's territory. Waterstar was furious.

They fought a lot that there was too much violence.

Almost everybody in both Clans was killed.

Yarrowfeather was found and thought to be dead by Duststar, but she was still breathing. There wasn't a chance she would survive, especially with her condition. Duststar & Jumproot both died.

Waterstar appointed Jayclaw deputy during the battle since Yarrowfeather couldn't be a deputy anymore, and would make no difference if she died. But Waterstar died, too.

Jayclaw is now the leader after the battle, but almost everybody is dead except for kits and a few apprentices & warriors. Snowmist survived, but Kestrelpetal died.

Salmonpaw mourns her brother, Sunpaw, who bravely died. She also mourned her mother & father. She thought she might have to mourn her mentor aka her aunt. Her mentor became Leafrain, as Yarrowfeather was too injured to do anything.

Lilacpaw's mentor became Jaystar for a few more moons.

Goldpaw's mentor became Applestream for a few more moons.

Only Goldpaw, Dapplepaw, Lilacpaw, Palepaw & Whitepaw are the other apprentices known that survive. Sparrowpaw & Littlepaw & Icetail have also died.

A queen named Greenmoon had started nursing Applekit & Tallkit.

## 30 moons

Yarrowfeather was still too injured to do even anything, much less regular warrior duties. Snowmist had been taking special care of her, to make sure she doesn't pass away at the most.

Jaystar had wanted to appoint Icetail as the deputy if she was still alive, but he wanted to choose Lilacpaw as the deputy once she became a mentor herself.

He had chosen Leafrain as a temporary deputy.

Applekit had made good friends with a nearby kit named Sorrelkit. Her mother, Greenmoon, said that Sorrelkit is very shy, and her single kit to Applekit, and that she was very protective of her for that reason.

## 31 moons

Goldpaw became Goldwing. Her grand virtues were bravery and skill. Whitepaw became Whitewater. His grand virtues were strategy & wisdom. Palepaw became Palemoon. His grand virtues were honesty & loyalty.

Yarrowfeather was still too hurt to do anything. Snowmist got reminded of his mother, who got injured by Mousestar, and later died of shortness of breath. He tried to give her everything he could, and prayed to StarClan to save her.

Her former apprentice, Jaystar, her four remaining kits, Lilacpaw, Dapplepaw, Windkit, and Juniperkit, her friend, Snowmist, her mate, Mudbird, and the rest of the Clan all prayed to StarClan to save her.

## 32 moons

Lilacpaw became Lilacflower. Her grand virtues were energy & dedication. Dapplepaw became Dappleflames. His grand virtues were courage & intelligence.

Windkit became Windpaw, and her mentor was Applestream. Juniperkit became Juniperpaw, and his mentor was Jaystar.

## 33 moons

Deerkit became an apprentice, and his mentor is Lilacflower.

Yarrowfeather is still yet unconscious, but she is still alive. Snowmist had spent so many days working on her that he got exhausted, and was worried he'd run out of herbs for leaf-bare.

## 34 moons

Snowmist is grateful for Tallkit, because he decided to become a medicine cat apprentice. His sister, Applekit, got apprenticed to Palemoon.

Jaystar thought he could choose Lilacflower now, but he wondered if he was not acting to StarClan's wishes for waiting so many more moons than he should to choose an *actual* deputy.

## 35 moons

Salmonpaw is now thirteen moons old, but she doesn't know what to do, as her aunt is too ill. She always feels sad when she trains. She tells this to her mentor, and he seems to understand.

Sorrelkit became Sorrelpaw. Her mentor is Dappleflames.

## 36 moons

Salmonpaw is Salmonstream, and her virtues were courage & strength.

Yarrowfeather had shortness of breath, and she almost died, but Snowmist & Tallpaw had saved her. But it seemed like they used up all those herbs. Tallpaw says he will never let her die on his watch.

The entire Clan seems to know about Yarrowfeather's problem, and are not ready to let her go if she does. Some cats say it's useless to waste all the herbs on Yarrowfeather, seeing she would descend into StarClan eventually, but her closest ones say otherwise.

## 37 moons

MoonClan has fully healed from its horrific & threatening AdderClan battle... except for Yarrowfeather.

She had finally woken up from her very, very long eight-moon sleep, but she was saying, "Murder shall come... murder shall come..." over and over again, in the most croakiest voice.

Dappleflames' new mate, Goldwing, said that she was going to have kits.

Deerpaw & Sorrelpaw were spending extra time together.

Salmonstream & Whitewater were also spending extra time together.

Juniperpaw & Windpaw had teased both the pairs, but Mudbird scolded them, saying they are allowed to love whoever they want as long as it is allowed by the warrior code.

Being Juniperpaw's mentor, Jaystar taught him about mating rules, no love with the medicine cat or any outsiders or other Clan members.

Juniperpaw says that he didn't care about mating rules at all, and that Jaystar wasn't the boss of him. Jaystar explained his mother apprenticed him, but that didn't make them equal. Jaystar was the Clan leader & his mentor, so he had the most authority over him.

Finally, Juniperpaw admits he misses his mother, and wants to know when she'll get well.

Jaystar starts thinking about what Yarrowfeather was saying. He had absolutely no idea what it meant.

## 38 moons

Juniperpaw & Windpaw are now twelve moons old, Applepaw & Tallpaw ten. Deerpaw was eleven moons old.

Yarrowfeather finally completely heals from her injuries, but she is too paralyzed to do normal duties. Her face still held the sign of her awful kithood, as it was too scarred. But her appearance looked even worse now, and the inside seemed the same way, as she always seemed to sulk in the elders den, despite being too young.

Yarrowfeather could barely speak, hear, walk, or even move her tail due to broken nerves. She had gotten very much scratched on the tail.

She had gotten depressed, but everybody tried to support her. She got daily checkups from Snowmist, who was deeply saddened that his friend had gotten to this much, much, *much* older state than she actually is.

## 39 moons

Yarrowfeather had trouble swallowing, so she could only eat food by eating very tiny chunks of prey. Tallpaw & Windpaw had to do this regularly.

They always spoke to her about Clan life, and since she could barely respond, she'd move her eyes to tell what she was thinking. Soon, all the Clan knows how to understand her.

Salmonstream & Whitewater became mates, and Salmonstream was expecting.

## 40 moons

Goldwing gave birth to Sunkit, a tom-kit & Seakit, a she-kit.

Juniperpaw is now Junipertail. His grand virtues are independence & courage. Windpaw is now Windtail. Her grand virtues are warmth & determination.

Yarrowfeather wanted to be blessed by StarClan, and the newcomers that have joined it from the battle, that one day, she would escape her "invisible chains that bring her down into the water."

She was probably granted it, but never in the way she had thought it would be.

Yarrowfeather had dreamed of a blizzard, and everyone was very cold. It showed her Clan having unknown kits, but everyone else looked a little older. She thought it must be next leaf-bare.

To her dismay, she had seen AdderClan. Its warriors were saying, "Murder will come... Murder will come..."

She had awoke from her dream, and told her young leader (recalling the times of her being energetic, and her teaching Jaypaw) about her dream. She had to be escorted by her children, though.

But she had told Jaystar mostly using her paw movements, and a few words she managed to say. Jaystar knew his fallen mentor very well, so he understood. He ordered everyone to prepare for next leaf-bare from that day on, and to watch out well for AdderClan.

## 41 moons

Deerpaw became Deerpounce, and his grand virtues were courage & bravery. His father, Jaystar, was proud of him.

Jaystar then started thinking about AdderClan, and how vicious it was like an adder. He also remembered when his old mentor killed off Adderstar.

He remembered as a kit, he had been told stories brought down from the elders' great-great-grandparents, perhaps, that came from *their* grandparents, that have been under the leadership of the first leader, Moonstar.

While sleeping, Jaystar had been met by Moonstar, who had died a very, *very* long time ago. She had told him, "Murder will come, that is the first. Cough is to despair, for the worse. Don't let it out, or you are dead. Attack AdderClan, and you are shreds."

When Jaystar woke up, he had no idea what it meant.

He told the Clan to watch out again.

## 42 moons

Salmonstream gave birth to a she-kit named Bluekit.

Applepaw became Appleear, but her brother, Tallpaw, had to wait a few more moons to become a medicine cat.

Windtail was thought to have died from a badger, but she was actually still alive. This kick-started Yarrowfeather into much more depression, as her daughter was now hurt, too.

She spent most of her time trying to communicate with StarClan, and thank them for being alive, and pray for her to be normal again.

## 43 moons

A storm came and set the camp on fire. Everyone fled, but Salmonstream was worried her kit wouldn't survive. Yarrowfeather had to be carried, but she got partially burnt. and could barely even move.

Since she would have trouble breathing, Snowmist gave her some coltsfoot & honey after they got there. But he had no idea what to do about her burnt parts except to clean them. He was worried Yarrowfeather would die this time.

She was so ill & injured she could barely do anything. She was always asleep.

Jaystar wondered if it was finally time to let Yarrowfeather go.

Yarrowfeather had felt like she was in StarClan, so she thought she was dead. But all her loved ones denied it, saying she is just visiting the place, she doesn't quite fit in right now, saying she is just to take a message to her former apprentice when she comes back to life. It was, "We are not dead, but we cannot live. We must win, to get our rights."

Snowmist had taught Tallpaw most of what to do for other medicine cat activities, like sorting & gathering herbs, treating a cat, and how to help a queen & an elder. So Tallpaw mostly did the other stuff while Snowmist worked very hard to keep Yarrowfeather living, but there seemed no hope.

Sorrelpaw became Sorrelclaw. Her virtues were helpfulness & kindness.

Windtail had healed by this time, but like her mother, she couldn't properly do warrior duties (yet).

## 44 moons

Sorrelclaw & Deerpounce became mates.

Yarrowfeather was still unconscious, and seemingly in StarClan, but when she asked her sister, Seastorm, if Jaystar & MoonClan are okay, she replied it was up to Yarrowfeather to decide.

She didn't know what that meant, but Seastorm responded with a tail flicking towards a faraway place. Inside was a very happy Clan that nothing can ever go wrong, even with the slightest mistake of a warrior. The prey pile was much more than full, there were infinite herbs, and life was very peaceful. Anything seemed possible.

Yarrowfeather wanted to soak that in much more longer, but Seastorm flicked her tail again, and the picture changed. It rippled into a dark, cold, snowy place with absolutely no life. There were no trees either, and there were no homes. The mountains were lifeless and dead.

Yarrowfeather let out a gasp of shock and asked what that means. In a starry voice, Seastorm replied, "Your Clan would have descended into destruction, making everyone there dead and non-existent except in StarClan." Then Seastorm asked her, "Which future would you choose?"

Yarrowfeather immediately chose the peaceful future, but Seastorm held up a paw, signalling to think about it. Seastorm replied, "Oh, but that future is very hard to achieve. You might not be even living by that time. It takes a lot of hard work from *living* cats to do so. StarClan can't do *everything* in nature, you know."

Yarrowfeather said she understood, but she asked if she would die. Seastorm simply replied, "If your Clan gets to the future you chose, maybe you won't..." as she faded away.

Yarrowfeather found herself sleeping again.

## 45 moons

Sorrelclaw was heavily injured, and only woke up after many days of treatment from Snowmist. She claimed a dog must have ambushed her, as she didn't remember. Her front leg was almost cut off, and her chest was open, revealing her vitals.

Appleear, her best friend, had been almost horrified. Junipertail joined her to see his pained mother.

When Jaystar talked to Snowmist if everything was okay, Snowmist admitted he was getting way too stressed out and not getting almost any sleep when treating Sorrelclaw, so Jaystar allowed him to rest while he looked over his son's mate & his former mentor.

## 46 moons

Snowmist had slept for a very long time a few days, and was woken up rather harshly by his niece, Salmonstream, to check up on Yarrowfeather. Sometimes it was Jaystar. Sometimes it was Junipertail or Lilacflower. Sometimes it was his own apprentice himself, Tallpaw.

Mudbird had retired as an elder, but he occasionally went to the med. cat's den to see his mate.

He thought Yarrowfeather would pass away any moment.

Seakit & Sunkit became apprentices. Their mentors are Junipertail & Palemoon.

Sorrelclaw was expecting Deerpounce's kits, are Goldwing & Salmonstream were expecting their mates' kits. Tallpaw estimated their kits to be born around the same quarter-moon. Their mates were elated, once again, Deerpounce most of all, since these were his first kits.

Palemoon got slaughtered in cold blood, and they were going to do a vigil for him, but he seemed to come back to life by StarClan a few days later, but he acted like some other cat any cat couldn't make out. They were probably dead.

## 47 moons

Appleear had gotten into an argument with Junipertail about who gets to go on patrol, and Junipertail went to his sister, Lilacflower, the deputy, about who should go. But Lilacflower just insisted to stop making a racket and go to the warriors' den, and get over the argument.

They two were the only ones there as all the other warriors were either on patrol, or watching over Yarrowfeather.

When Dappleflames got back from patrol, he saw the moss beds all dirty and scattered. Then Windtail caught Appleear & Junipertail touching noses out on patrol.

She reported this to Jaystar, and he told them to stop fooling around while they were on patrol, especially if they were in love..

Bluekit became an apprentice. Her mentor was Greenmoon.

Yarrowfeather had a lot of trouble breathing suddenly, and all her friends and loved ones literally held their breath as Snowmist, Tallpaw, and some other cats which were her loved ones help her try to survive. Snowmist gave her so much coltsfoot that he thought he made a mistake, and overdosed her.

Suddenly, a starry image of Windstar came and said, "Do you wish to give up? Fight for your Clan! Leaf-bare is near!" Jaystar didn't know what it meant until he remembered in new-leaf about the weird vision he had gotten.

He repeated Moonstar's words silently, "Murder will come, that is the first. Cough is to despair, for the worse. Don't let it out, or you are dead. Attack AdderClan, and you are shreds."

He had told this to Snowmist right then, but Snowmist knew immediately what it meant.

"Our Clan will die," said Snowmist solemnly.

Appleear had an idea what it might have meant. "AdderClan is going to die, maybe? And if we attack them, we will die? And we will have greencough in the Clan?" she said.

Later, it seemed like Snowmist was going somewhere outside of the Clan.

## 48 moons

Jaystar & Snowmist figured out the message from Moonstar. He had also been told by Yarrowfeather's spirit his dream.

He told this to the Clan immediately, and the Clan looked shocked. Then an apprentice (Sunpaw) shot up and shouted, "Is she dead?!" Yarrowfeather was his grandmother through his father, Dappleflames.

Snowmist said otherwise, because she was still alive. Then he realized what it meant.

"She's in StarClan right now... and here!" he exclaimed.

Then Appleear replied that she must be joining StarClan right now.

But Yarrowfeather was still living.

A few days later, Sorrelclaw had her kits. She had four. She named two she-cats Kestrelkit & Yellowkit. The two toms, Leafkit & Hailkit. Sadly, she had died from the kitting. They managed to drink some of her milk before she finally passed away. Their foster mother is Goldwing.

A day after that, Goldwing had only one kit, Moonkit, after the Clan.

A couple more days after that, Salmonstream had two tom-kits. She named them Hillkit & Sprucekit.

## 49 moons

Yellowkit had died from greencough, sadly. She had passed away while sleeping.

Jaystar hoped that the Clan wouldn't die. They had prepared a lot for leaf-bare ever since new-leaf, and they had plenty of catnip on hand. He wondered how Yellowkit died.

Snowmist came to Jaystar crying, even though he was literally six moons older than Jaystar was.

He had said he had gotten depressed like Yarrowfeather had almost all her life. Jaystar knew his former mentor had been depressed as a kit from the stories she always used to tell him, but he didn't think Snowmist would ever stray on this path. But then he realized why.

"Leaf-bare & Yarrowfeather?" Jaystar asked. He didn't think a medicine cat should ever come upon this point.

Snowmist nodded, and then continued, "I have tried to do joyful stuff in my free time, but all I could think of was StarClan & Yarrowfeather. Cats have tried to talk to me, but that's mostly when I'm busy. Even sleep, if I do have sleep, isn't peaceful at all, being the medicine cat..."

Jaystar nodded. He understood why Snowmist would go this way. But then, Tallpaw went up in his mind. Tallpaw is like a proper medicine cat, but hadn't gotten his full name yet.

Jaystar replied, "Well, how about you take Tallpaw to the Moonstone and make him a medicine cat?"

Snowmist's response was a surprised jerk as if he never knew he had an apprentice.

"I'll do that soon," he replied.

He went to the Moonstone with Tallpaw during the medicine car meeting, and made him Tallsoot. His virtues were helpfulness and intelligence.

A few days later, he came to Lilacflower. "I feel like I'm losing Yarrowfeather," he said. Lilacflower didn't want her mother to die, so she said, "Well, duh, aren't you keeping her alive?" He sighed and replied, "I don't know. What difference would it make if she was still breathing and her heart pumping, but she never interacts with us..."

Lilacflower said, "Well, you're her friend, right? You should keep helping her all the way."

But then, Snowmist replied, "I have something else to tell..." He started crying.

He admitted that to cheer him up, he wanted love, but he wanted nobody to confess that they were expecting or something if they did.

So he went out of the Clan two moons ago, and got trapped inside of an avalanche. A cat found him, and saved him. She lived in a Clan called SnowClan, somewhere else in the mountains. Her name was Gardenpetal.

She was lovely, he says. And she didn't really care that the rest of the Clan would dislike her if they found out. She was fifteen moons younger than him, but she never had a mate.

A moon later, she said that she was expecting his kits. Snowmist didn't know what to do, so he just told her to stay in her Clan for now until the kits are born.

Lilacflower was wide-eyed at the story. She wanted to keep it a secret, but Snowmist insisted that she tell Jaystar the exact same way he told her.

Jaystar was shocked, and decided to give Snowmist a punishment. He shouldn't sleep all night for a few nights, and should watch Yarrowfeather during the nights. He was also forbidden to see Gardenpetal again.

## 50 moons

Snowmist's punishment was over, but he was still forbidden to see Gardenpetal again.

Appleear & Junipertail became mates, and Appleear was expecting his kits.

Yarrowfeather got met by Palemoon in StarClan, and she was confused, because she thought he was alive. Then Palemoon said, "Look around. Do you see Sunpaw?"

Yarrowfeather replied, "My nephew?" She looked weirded out, but she called out for Sunpaw's name. Seastorm came and replied, "He is not here."

Yarrowfeather gasped hard as she realized what happened.

"Can I go to the living world?" she asked desperately.

"Sure... but not in yourself," replied Seastorm & Palemoon both in starry voices. Yarrowfeather started rising until she seemed to be covered by clouds. Then she fell slowly, and touched the ground gently but firmly. She called out, "Jaystar! Mudbird! Dappleflames! Lilacflower! I'm back!" But everyone just did normal duties, and didn't even seem to hear her.

Yarrowfeather looked inside the medicine cat's den, and saw her bare-pelted, charred, scarred, ugly, half-face self just lying in the den. She looked at her StarClan self, and saw how clean she looked. She tried to touch her body, to see if she can become herself again. Nothing happened.

Yarrowfeather rose back up to StarClan, and said how horrible the experience was, looking at her own injured body to Seastorm & Palemoon.

"But... isn't Sunpaw the one controlling you?" she asked, horrified.

Palemoon nodded as if that was no problem. "He wanted a chance at life, he can get it."

Yarrowfeather felt her link growing weaker and weaker to her body each day. She wondered when the day will come when there is no link at all. When she is dead to MoonClan. Her Clanmates.

## 51 moons

Yarrowfeather seemed like her link was so weak to her body by this point, and much stronger to StarClan, that she wondered if she was dying right now. She went down, and tried to see herself. Her breathing was very slow, one breath per few minutes. Her heart rate was two beats per minute.

"Too slow to live," Yarrowfeather muttered to herself, knowing she won't revive to her former, better self like when she was a newly made warrior. But her link to StarClan was much better now, so she visited Jaystar's dream.

She said to him, "Jaypaw?" Jaystar looked like he was in a forest, not the mountains. "It's Jaystar," he replied.

Yarrowfeather replied, "Well, do you remember the stories I told you? When I saved you as a kit while I was an apprentice, and again as your mentor and you as my apprentice?"

Jaystar nodded, gloomily, as if he thought this means something. Yarrowfeather continued, "Well, tell your Clan to muster up the courage to say good-bye. I'm going to die soon. Tell Snowmist not to waste his herbs on me. At this point, all I care about is the Clan's health, not my individual own."

Jaystar replied, "What?! But... he used so many herbs..."

Yarrowfeather said, "Don't be stubborn. I'm way too broken beyond repair. I also have a lung condition that can't be treated by other cats. I was bound to die as a kit, remember?"

Jaystar nodded, and thought back to the time when Yarrowfeather told him the story of her condition.

Yarrowfeather continued, "Yep, and I'm bound to die now. I'm way too much more injured for survival, so this is your last message from me living. I'm going to say goodbye."

Jaystar suddenly looked frantic as he said, "No! Wait! I can't-" as Yarrowfeather faded away.

Yarrowfeather went into every cat's dream and told them this.

For Mudbird, she told him how their love was so strong, ever since he helped her get better from her depression.

For Snowmist, she told him how bright he was, and how friendly he was, and how good a medicine cat he was.

For her children, she said that she couldn't be there for them most of their lives, but she always loved them so even in her sleep.

For her grandchildren, she said she could never meet them because of injury, but she promised she'd visit them while in StarClan.

For Salmonstream, she said she couldn't be a mentor for her because of her injuries, or a good aunt, but she'd always be there for her.

She said to all the cats that she saw all their loved ones in StarClan, like Icetail, Windstar, Seastorm, Deserteye, Sparrowpaw, Littlepaw, Waterstar & even Sunstar.

When Jaystar told this to the Clan, everyone said she had visited them.

## 52 moons

At last, she passes away. The Clan had mustered up their courage for her death, but they still mourned heavily for her. The Clan felt sad she had to live like this for more than half of her life, and couldn't be a great warrior in the end.

She died peacefully in new-leaf, where the snow started melting, and finally, her link to her body was gone, and was fully resting in StarClan.

In StarClan, she looks clean, as if she never got injured in her life before, and she looks between nine & fourteen moons old, which she thinks used to be the best time in her life.

Gardenpetal also gave birth to tom-kit Snowkit & she-kit Maplekit.

Salmonstream is expecting kits again.

## After death

#### 1 post-mortem moon

Appleear gives birth to Larkkit & Heatherkit.

Jaystar held a battle against AdderClan, because they almost seemed dead. They won against AdderClan, and AdderClan fled from its home, getting their territory. AdderClan then mixed in with FlowerClan for a few moons.
