"Things change. Is it possible that the will of StarClan has changed also? StarClan gave each Clan the skills they need to survive in their own territory. RiverClan cats swim well. ThunderClan cats are good at stalking prey in the undergrowth. SkyClan cats can leap into trees because there's not much cover in their territory. Doesn't this mean that each Clan couldn't live in another Clan's territory?"

Leader Lives: Leafstar

Leafstar! Miss Mama Cat! First leader of New!Skyclan.

For those new here, Leader Lives is the in-depth look on the 9 lives a leader gets during their ceremony, how they lost them, and in what order.

Her first life is a special one. It is given to her by Firestar. While fighting against the rats, Firestar sees a vision of Runningwind. Runningwind looks at Leafstar and tells Firestar that he can transfer a life to her, but he'll have to give it up as if he is dying.

He collapses under the rat pile, meets with Runningwind, and transfers over the life. (Runningwind also spills the beans that Sandstorm is pregnant OOPSIE)

Leafdapple's first life is Firestar's Life, for Reigniting Skyclan.

Her second life is from the recently passed Skywatcher, who gives her a life for Hope. Hope is not a wonderful, pretty thing. It can be watching the stars night after night, pleading and begging for your family to be reunited, for your home to be saved. Hope is heavy in Leafdapple's chest.

Her third life is from a cat named Hen. Hen is Leafdapple's mother. She gives her baby girl a life for Love. The fierce love that a mother has for her children, but also the ferocious love of a loyal friend, and a love for your home.

Her fourth is from Redstar, for Wisdom. She is a smart cat, who will need to make logical choices, but not forget her emotional intelligence that will help her make the choices that are truly wise.

Her fifth life is from Birchstar, ancestor of Clovertail and Heavystep, and she gives Leafdapple a life for Sympathy and Understanding. Every cat's situation is unique, and though you may not always understand, it is best to listen rather than ignore.

Her sixth life is from Swiftstar. See things through to the end, no matter what. Do your best to keep going, and never let others down, never break promises. Swiftstar was always the more rough, straightforward type.

Her seventh life is from Dawnstar, for Selflessness. If someone had just shown a little bit of this trait that night, a horrible Era in history could have stopped before it began, and a horrific injustice would have never happened.

Her eighth life is from Cloudstar. He gives her the life for Endurance. The strength that can last through terrible journeys, push on when your heart breaks, and keeps you going, even when things seem hopeless.

Then... Quiet. Is this it? Is Skyclan's new leader only going to get 8 lives? Is this a bad sign?

Then, on the horizon, a voice calls out. A beautiful voice that sings like a bird...

Birdflight bounds over the horizon, many other lost Skyclan cats flooding in until stars are sparkling all over, more plentiful than the dapples on Leafdapple' pelt. Shimmering and shining and calling out to one another, free from their ghostly wandering and Rat prisons and returned from their hiding spot in the old Starclan... They form Sky-Starclan, otherwise known as the Skywatcher Lights.

Birdflight steps forward and grants Leafstar a life for Faithfulness. Even when things are at their lowest, and everything feels pointless, like you'll never be happy again... You will. Happiness may not be constant, but neither is misery. You will see your loved ones again.

The first life to be lost is Dawnstar's during Skyclan's Destiny. Leafstar takes a lethal blow meant for Harvey that Red had tried to get in the way of. Leafstar had shoved her out of the way and taken it on herself. She asks Dawnstar if helping the other cats is the right thing to do. Dawnstar shows her a vision. Dawnstar, laying in her den, dying of Greencough. She is offered the last bit of catmint by her medicine cat, only for a small kitten to catch her sight. He is sick, but Dawnstar sees Starclan spirits nodding their heads in approval at him. Dawnstar denies treatment, and the kit grows up to be the legendary Marshstar, the leader who lead Shadowclan out of a very dark era and away from the time of Ripplestar. Leafstar takes in Red and Harely.

Her next life lost is from Birchstar. She loses the life saving Harry and drowning during Flooded Skies (WCR!Skyclan and The Stranger). She had been very cautious, and with a gifted Medic like Echosong, Skyclan was incredibly safe for quite some time, leaving life loss at minimal, even with a huge Whitecough outbreak. She sees Birchstar's death, infection gripping her as she struggles to breathe, feverish and frightened about where she will go after she dies, after all, what should become a leader that exiles an entire Clan? It's that Sympathy and Understanding that makes Leafstar a much more open minded person, and though it has drawbacks like letting Harry into Skyclan for that amount of time, Leafstar would rather make a mistake than toss out an innocent.

Her third life lost is from Swiftstar, to the sickness that sweeps through Skyclan during their journey, with Leafstar dying instead of Firefern now. After a long period of relative peace, she hadn't lost a life in quite a while, and... This is the first of many sudden losses. She gets to see how Swiftstar lost his final life, fighting a battle that he could never have won against Shadowclan, their leader Gorsestar tearing open his belly. Even with the lethal wounds, Swiftstar manages to leave a nasty scar on Marshfall's face, giving him the new name Marshscar. Even dying, Swiftstar stuck to his ground, though not the best cat to have lived, it taught Leafstar about staying determined until the bitter end.

The fourth life taken is from Redstar, lost when she is poisoned by Juniperclaw. The life showcased the horrible truth of the last leader involved in Skyclan's exile. Gorsestar, Cloudstar's son, had risen to power within Shadowclan, and attacked Redstar as the Sky Oak died at a Gathering. In the horrible fight, Redstar had fallen off if the rock the 2 fought on, snapping his neck, but remaining alive just long enough to see Shadowclan's leader crushed to death under the rotted oak, split by disease and a lightning strike.

She is then given a vision of Ripplestorm, son of Gorsestar, becoming Ripplestar, launching attacks in an aimless goal before nearly being struck directly with lightning, the stone itself being steuck and the current from the bolt itself killing him... The leader's remaining placing a BAN on talking about Skyclan.

The 4 leaders step forward, bow their heads, and apologize...

Leafstar's fifth life lost is the one from Birdflight. Rather than going first through branches, she instead watches over her Clanmates when they go over a branch that sits over a rapid, swollen river, watching in case anyone falls in, as only 1 cat can go at a time. Gravelpaw falls into the river, and when Leafstar goes into the water to save them, she is only able to save Gravelpaw, drowning herself before Ebonyclaw can grab her out. She meets with Birdflight, and they talk. Birdflight tells her to be strong, that Skyclan will stick together, she needs to hold onto her faith that things will get better.

Her next lost life was the one from Skywatcher. During Squirrelflight's Freedom, when a rockslode is triggered by the fight against the Sisters, Leafstar is caught in it too. She bleeds out through a large wound that a sharp rock put into her front left leg. She watches the trial in Starclan, though is not allowed to speak in it. Skywatcher sits with her, and reminds her that Skyclan, and subsequently Sky-Starclan, is different for a reason.

Leafstar's seventh life lost is from Hen. A few moons after Squirrelflight's Hope, taking place during Princess' Passing but only seen in a Lost Stars Bonus Chapter, Billystorm is found Leaf-fall afternoon to be dead. He died in his sleep, having a peaceful nap with Leafstar after their midday meal. He most likely had a blood clot or some kind of heart attack. It was probably the worst moment in Leafstar's life. After his funeral, she would simply lay in her den, not eating or drinking unless Freckleshine and Fidgetflake pushed her to do it. At one point Leafstar opens her eyes to see the swirling meadow of Starclan's entrance. Seeking comfort, she picks Hen, and cries to her beloved mother that her heart has shattered. Hen comforts her daughter, telling her that she will see Billystorm again, it's only a matter of time. She tells Leafstar that she still has life ahead of her, and while it's normal to miss Billystorm, her kits need her too, and Billystorm wouldn't want her to grieve herself to death.

Leafstar's next life lost is... Well....

Nightheart sends a message to Skyclan from Tigerstar during ASC Book 2. Just a spice trade, some coriander for some dill...

Leafstar, atop the one of the highest branches in the old sycamore that Skyclan's camp holds, stops talking. She lurches, her chest in agony. She falls from the highest branch...

The life she picks to lose is the one from Firestar, and she finally gets to see her friend again. She requests gently to see how he died. What happened while Skyclan were at the Gorge?

He plays out exactly what happened. His death at Tigerclaw's paws, along with springing out of his own body to finish the tyrant off. To Leafstar, it's nothing short of magical.

Leafstar wakes up, but begins to shake, her eyes rolling back once more as the world fades again.

Confused, Leafstar glances at the only cat whose life she has not spent. Cloudstar.

He informs her that the fall from her heart stopping broke her neck, taking her 9th life. Skyclan will be okay, it always has been. She was the best choice for leader to reignite Skyclan, and now she deserves to rest.

She sees Billystorm again, running to him and purring with a much younger voice, her body now back to the moment she was happiest.

What she does not know, is that as she died, Waspwhisker and the missing Skyclan cats have just wandered back into camp... Now what is Skyclan to do with 2 deputies?

oughhhh the new “the unknown leader” page…. i love you nuance i love you tragedy i love you objectively disgusting and awful people who show rare moments of sensitivity and remorse for their actions only to double down on them because they hate more than they love

[cat-alyzing]

TW BLOOD!

I finished it! This is BTB!Plumpelt and BTB!Amberclaw (or canon Redstar and Amberclaw) who were the leader and deputy when the Skyspruce was destroyed by a mudslide. Seeing the possibility of taking more land Star Plumpelt started not only attacking the weakened cats but also killing them. While Amberclaw had always followed his brother, a lion to a king, he couldn’t go along anymore and started helping cats who were against his brother. In an attempt to stop Plumpelt at last the leader was attacked at the border between the coteries, the brothers locked claws, tore each other up, but Plumpelt got the upper paw and killed his brother. The final scratch to shoot the stray Sky cats to grow stronger to rebel. Especially that cat Birdflight…

(ID- Au art for BTB showing off Plumpelt a ancient leader over his younger brother Amberclaw, his left paw pressing into the ginger cats face and other holding his still while Amber looks up to him with his left eye as the other is shut after a scratch. Plumpelt is a large magenta toned tabby with reddish eyes and a open bleeding crown shaped wound on his forehead. His right ear has a cloud shaped tear in it and his tail has a healed wound leaving a scarred nub poking out. His orange claws are bloodied and holding his brother down with a sneer on his face. Amberclaw is trapped under his brother’s claws and is a similar looking cat but more ginger with rich orange eyes and messy flame like fur. Four open bleeding wounds are on his right cheek and nose bridge, with the cheek ones causing his right eye to stay shut. His paws are splayed out with his claws out, the right claws stained in blood from scratching his brother. The background is dark with faint blood splatters. The outlines of both brothers has a motion blur in a magenta color and red making a kind of trippy effect. End ID)

Swampclan’s Tale: Rosekit’s melody

<<Return to Moon 13 Interlude

TW: Cat Death, Grievous injury to a kitten

“Let’s go on a trip.”

Rosekit had been peacefully sleeping in the nursery when her mother had finally returned. She nudged the little bundle awake. Rosekit mewled in protest.

“I’m sleepy!”

Her mother smiled at her, sweet as honey.

“We’re going to go see your uncle. Won’t that be fun?”

The little kit perked up at that.

“What’s an uncle?” she asked.

Her mother thought for a bit.

“It’s like a littermate, but for me instead.”

Rosekit cocked her head. “Mommy’s littermate?”

“Yes Rosekit, Mommy’s littermate.”

Rosekit was excited now. She didn’t have any littermates. She was always jealous of Jaggedkit and Sharpkit, because they had each other. They were always playing with each other— sometimes they would play a hiding game with their father, or they would play tag together. But they never let her play. Maybe her mother’s littermate would play with her?

“Can I tell Jaggedkit and Sharpkit?” She imagined the look on her denmate’s faces when she told them about her special trip.

“No, this is a secret trip. You can tell them when we come back.” Her mother cooed.

“Aw…”

“It’s a special, secret trip. So don’t tell anyone so that they can be surprised, ok?”

Rosekit puffed up. “You can trust me, Mommy!”

“Get your things together, then wait here. Mommy will be back soon.”

With that, her mother left.

Rosekit dug through the nest, grabbing her starling feather. On the ground was her favorite pebble, so she took that too. She placed the two things in front of her as she waited.

—

“You’re stepping down?” Redstar asked.

Bloodthorn gulped. “Yes, Redstar. I don’t think I can effectively do my duties while in the nursery. There are plenty of others who are just as capable as myself to take my place.”

Redstar seemed to contemplate something. Then, he turned back to Bloodthorn.

“Alright. I’ll allow it.”

She almost laughed with the relief she felt. “Thank you, Redstar.”

“But… before you do… how about you bring your apprentice out with me to train? One last time as deputy and leader?”

To Bloodthorn, the offer seemed genuine. Redstar had a calm smile on his face that didn’t seem to betray any sort of malice. It should be fine, she thought. Rosekit could wait for a bit.

Bloodthorn turned, spotting her apprentice playing with his littermate. “Bonesetpaw! Come with me.”

Redstar ginned, and then led them out of the camp.

“What are we training today?” Bonesetpaw asked as they swam out of camp.

“Redstar wanted to personally send me off as deputy.” Bloodthorn purred.

“Really? Awesome!” Bonesetpaw yipped. Bloodthorn felt a pang of regret. Boneset really was a good apprentice— he didn’t deserve to be abandoned by his mentor.

But when she closed her eyes, all she saw was her sister’s unmoving, bloody body.

Sorry, Bonesetpaw.

No longer stuck in her thoughts, she noticed the marshy land had given out to sandy grass. Where were they going?

“Redstar, where are we going?” she asked.

“Oh, I have somewhere special in mind.” he replied. “We’re almost there.”

She felt a shiver go down her spine, but didn’t show it. He didn’t know, she reassured herself. He couldn’t know.

“We’re here.”

Her face couldn’t hide her fear any longer.

Reeds blocked the view, but Bloodthorn knew what was behind them. The pine tree that was the warriors’ den. The two stones that made up the leader’s perch and den. The water that lapped at the bushes near the water’s edge. The clearing, packed down by years of cat paws.

“Why… why have you brought me here?” she asked.

“What’s wrong? I thought you wanted to go home.” Redstar laughed.

Bloodthorn stepped back. “Bayclan is dead.”

“And yet, you plan on running away to that collection of fools intent on bringing it back.”

He knew.

“Redstar… I—“

“Don’t” he sighed. “I should have expected this.”

He beckoned Bonesetpaw to him. “Apprentice, do you know what ultimatum I gave Bloodthorn, all that time ago?”

Bonesetpaw looked scared. “I… I don’t know.”

Redstar chuckled. “When I got my revenge, all those moons ago, I found her. A cat surrounded in a pool of my dead warriors. The image was so striking that I had to give her an offer.”

“Become my deputy, and I will spare your life.”

“And she accepted it!” he laughed. “Like an honorless dog. It was perfect— I steal my sister’s clan, I steal her kit as my subordinate, and then I steal her deputy as well.”

He then looked over at Bloodthorn, smile fading. “I even gave you that name to commemorate it. So why do you throw my mercy away?”

She was still. “I… I’m not disloyal. I’m not.”

“Don’t bother lying. I know your plan.”

But Bloodthorn stayed silent.

Redstar sighed. “Oh well. I’ll have to deal with you now.”

Fast as lightning, he lunged at Bonesetpaw. The apprentice squirmed, but there was nothing he could do to break out of Redstar’s grasp.

“R-Redstar..?” he looked more like a kitten, ears back and eyes wide with fear.

“No!” Bloodthorn screamed. “I-I’m the traitor, not him!”

It was too late. Redstar bit down, and Bonesetpaw went limp. He crumbled to the ground like a discarded pelt.

“Look what you’ve done, Bloodthorn. A perfectly good apprentice… gone.”

Bloodthorn ran to her apprentice’s side.

“W-What am I supposed to tell his mother, you monster!” she yowled.

“I will tell her that her son was killed by a traitor.” Redstar started. He pinned Bloodthorn down. Her thoughts raced. No… Rosekit!

“But not to worry. I swiftly dealt with the perpetrator… as we should with all traitors.”

—

Rosekit grumbled. It had been too long since her mother had disappeared. Her stomach had begun to feel like it was being given a badger ride. Where was she?

Someone had entered the nursery. Little Rosekit perked up. But she was disappointed when she saw it was Jaggedkit and Sharpkit’s father.

“Jaggedkit and Sharpkit aren’t here.” she murmured.

Redstar went up to her, before picking her up by her scruff. Rosekit let out a squeak of surprise.

He carried her to the clearing, where lots of cats were waiting. More cats than she’d ever seen before in her life. And in the middle, two sleeping cats. One looked a bit like Maretail, and the other was her mother. She wanted to run over to her, but Redstar kept a firm grasp on her.

“Mommy, wake up!” she yelled. But nothing happened.

Redstar placed Rosekit down, but his eyes showed her he would not tolerate her running away. He spoke.

“Our deputy was a traitor. She killed her own apprentice, and was planning to escape to Crystalclan. As for this kit.” He paused, then placed something in front of her.

It was her feather and her stone.

“She was in on it as well.”

Rosekit looked up at Redstar, trembling. “M-Mommy told me to pack my things.”

Redstar laughed. “A traitor as well. You know what happens to traitors in this clan.”

Rosekit turned to look at her mother, but she didn’t move. Then she looked at Maretail, Jaggedkit, and Sharpkit, but none of them would meet her glance.

Then, Redstar bit down.

—

Rainfeather was silent as she finished her story.

“After that… I don’t really remember what happened. I know Alderflower worked to save my life, and that’s how she took me in.” Rosepaw explained.

Rainfeather’s eyes were filled with emotion in the glimpse she got before he looked away. “What a monster.”

“That littermate my mother mentioned… who is it?” she asked the cleric.

He didn’t face her as he answered. “Bah, she didn’t have a littermate. She was from a singlet litter— but I guess I can’t expect kit to understand that, so I can’t get too mad at her.”

“Oh.” Rosepaw sighed. “So wait, then who was she talking about if she didn’t have a brother?”

“You misunderstand. She did have a brother, just from a different litter.”

He turned, eyes filled with tears. “She was talking about me.”

Cause of Death: drowned by Driftbranch

Cautionary Tale: don’t let jealousy consume you

Story:

Driftbranch was an undeniable catch, and Crowberry had been thrilled to land him as a mate at first. But after so many fruitless attempts to have kits, his eyes started to wander.

She had beaten Lilypaw into the ground for flirting with him once, and did it again when she got her warrior name of Lilywater.

Eventually, Lilywater moved on, though not before hissing that Crowberry’s supposedly faithful mate had more than one pretty she-cat in mind.

As time passed, and Crowberry became Crowstar, and she became more suspicious.

A few inquiries led her to Daylegs-- a pretty, if snarky queen-- who admitted that Driftbranch was seeing at least six other queens, at least two of whom were Thunderclan.

Crowstar had drowned her, trying not to believe the slander. It was harder than she’d thought, but she managed.

She had returned to camp, exhausted, then gone to Driftbranch and attempted to groom him. Only to accidentally sit on the she-cat he had been hiding under their nest.

She was livid, and chased Poppyface away from the Clan, threatening her with every horrible thing she could think of even as tears rolled down her cheeks.

A patrol found Poppyface’s body the next day. Guts ripped out and strewn across the thunderpath.

Driftbranch apologized, and like a fool, she believed him. Why shouldn’t she believe him?

She only realized she’d been a fool when he held  her under the water.
