I was there when our clan was created.
Sure, it was a bit ambitious for only ten of us to leave our thriving, centuries old clan, ChirpClan, and expect to make it through the first Leaf-bare. But we truly believed we were doing the right thing, as I still do to this day.
I remember my life so... clearly. I myself was a senior warrior when we left our first home. Since none of us were skilled with herbs, faithful as I was, I made the decision to be our new clan's first medicine cat. It was a big decision, of course, but once again, I could feel that it was the right one.
I was already mates with Weedfur when we left. A few moons after we found our new home in an abandoned shipwreck, Lilyheart and Asterflare became mates as well. The entire clan knew they would eventually. We were just surprised it took as long as it did.
Sure, I remember the moon Asterflare and Lilyheart's first litter came. It consisted of a single gray and white tom they named Shadekit. But the memory I still hold close to my heart, in fear that one day, it might slip out of my grasp and float out to sea?
The day my three beautiful she-kits were born. One of them was all white, but for her black and amber tail. Another one was almost a shade of lilac, with tiny rosettes dotting her uniquely colored pelt.
The final one was silver. Like her lilac colored sister, she also had rosettes. She was the first of any of them to open her eyes. When she did only a few days after she was born, I was shocked. Like me, she had amber eyes, as fiery as a snapping blaze. I soon realized that all three of my kits had the same eyes, although hers always seemed the most alive.
But now the treasured memory was tarnished by the horrible tragedy that the future held. Because only three moons after my kits were born, and one after Asterflare and Lilyheart had their second litter, a flood barreled into camp, sweeping away everyone but the six little kits.
I'm Parsleyheather, and despite my attempts to keep my head above the freezing water, I ultimately drowned.
