The Four Clans // Silentsea's Secret

Epilogue

After the great battle between Stormclan, Coveclan and Mythclan, Stormstar sat on the highrock, thinking what to do. Sharpglows dead body was laying next to the rock. A white she-cat sat "We lost our deputy. I cant trust anyone more than you, Opalsong." The warrior looked at him with a questioning face. "Are you relying... the job on me?" He nodded. "We need strong warriors, fast. I can't see my clan getting wrapped up anymore, after Stormclan took Coveclans help."

The white cat looked doubtful to the ground. "Im not sure if I am ready..." Stormstar looks worried and scared. "But Opalsong. You are the only one I can trust you with the Rank. Im very sure you can take Sharpglows place." He gave her a pitiful look. The white she-cat looked down and sigh. "If that means saving our Clan..." she spoke with an unhappy voice.

"Push Mooneye, Push!" The medicine cat helped her pushing the kit. "Its a she" he mewed. Mintstripes chewed up some leaves and nudged the pulp for Mooneye. "This should help you." he smiled. The Queen licked her newborn clean. "Its been a while, since i last kittened before. Do you remember that one time you were an apprentice i had 2 kits?" He giggled "I do. It has been moons..." and looks down on the ground. "Im sorry that your mate Hollyclaw didnt make it out alive..."

After the long silence in the Medicine den, the grey tabby looked at her kit, while its drinking the mothers milk. "Could I check over her again? I just noticed something." After Mooneye cleaned her, he took a closer look to the black furball. Once he licked its eyes clean, he realizes that her kit is born half blind. He sigh. "Shes born half-blind-..." Mintstripes cut off the sentence, cause the Leader walked into the den.

Stormstar took a closer look to the black furball. "...You promised me to kitten a strong independent warrior. And YOU GAVE ME THIS FOR STARCLAN'S SAKE?" The Leader hisses at her. The Mother looked at him with shocked and anxious eyes. "I-... I didnt said that its 100% sure Stormstar-... I... didnt know..." She didnt promised him anything. A Feeling of guilt filled her mind. "Stormstar!" Minstripes stepped infront ot the queen. He got anxious too.

"No Mintstripes." He tilted his head and growled. "Please listen Stormstar. Shes just a kit!... Please give me another chance." The Queens eyes are filled with tears. The leader looked at her disappointed and then looked away. 'I dont have time to deal with this.' "In 2 moons, the kit is either strong or gone." And then he left, leaving Mooneyes heart hurt.

The medicine tom feels really bad for her. "Im sorry you going through this." She shooked her head. "Its fine. It is kinda my fault anyways... " "Dont say that!" He tried to comfort her, but notices that it doesnt make her move forward. "Anyway, How do you want to name your she-cat?" The Queen looked at her kit with loving eyes and smiled. "Hollykit. Just like my mate." The tom looked at her worried, but happy. Who doesnt want a mother so caring, despite of the kids unperfection?

After Stormstar let his anger and sadness outside the camp, Opalsong cant let her eyes off him. 'He is definitely hiding something and i dont know what he is thinking. Does he even care how others feel?' Stormstar walks towards to the Clanrock. "Let all cats join here beneath the Clanrock for a meeting!" The warriors walked to the voice of the leader and sit around the Leaders Rock.

"Its time to appoint a new deputy. First lets thank Sharpglow for her Life and her memory will never fade from the forest..." he paused. "I say these words before StarClan, that the spirit of Sharpglow may hear and approve my choice. The new Deputy of Mythclan is Opalsong!"

"Opalsong! Opalsong!" the cats called her name loud. The white she-cat looks embarrassed away. Her older Brother Iceheart looked proudly and loyal towards his sister, congratulating her silently with a nod. "Congratulations Opalsong!" Lionpetal couldnt hold her happiness. "You mean now alot to our clan and Stormstar." she smiled.

"I shall keep a vigil at Sharglows body tonight before we burry her at sunrise." The Leader jumped off the Clanrock and sat down beside the old deputies body once more. Cats, who are related to her, joined him. 

"Congratulations Opalsong!" Her apprentice Tigerpaw mewed. "Im now apprentice to a deputy. Isnt that cool? " He looked at Foxpaw. "Lucky!" he said. Opalsong giggled, while hearing his appreciation towards her. "So. With the knowledge i gave to you, how do you feel?" she asked. The apprentice looked on the ground thinking. "Hmm. Ready enough to join big wars!" His orange friend bumped on him. "Tigerpaw, apprentices join big wars." "Oh! My Bad-" he looked towards him.

"Seems like you are ready to come to the next stage." the white cat mewed. "I shall let you and Foxpaw join with Sharktail and Batfang to the Midnight hunting patrol." The two apprentices looked amazed to her. The two warriors she mentioned waited at the camps exit for the two. As the apprentices walked up to them she nodded towards them. Then they left.

Opalsong went to the warriors den after sending out the patrol and saw her brother getting comfortable. "Congratulations sister." he mewed soft. "Thank you brother." she made her mossbed comfortable too and cleans her fur. "Being a deputy is quite a special role in the clans! I enjoy it!" The white tom looked at her serious. "I cant trust Stormstar. He is into something strange." "Yea. I notice that too. I originally didnt want to become deputy, but now it feels different than i thought."

Her brother looked down to the ground. "I noticed he argued with the queen in the nursery. He was upset she kittened a halfblind cat." Opalsongs ears tuned in. "Who kittened?" she asked curious. Iceheart looked at her. "Mooneye. The Leader said that her kit is going to get killed in two moons, if that kit isnt strong enough." Opalsongs ears layed down. She feels now really uncomfortable knowing this. "W- We have to do something!" she mewed. The white tom looked down disappointed. "You have to be careful."
