Whiteshimmer saw Silverpaw and Reedpaw padding back to camp with herbs. "Hey you two."
"Hey Whiteshimmer." Silverpaw mewed as she bounded off to a part of camp.
"Hi." Reedpaw mewed following behind her.
"Where did the both of you go off to?" The dark green eyed warrior asked them.
"Nowhere." Reedpaw replied.
"Yup. Nowhere at all!" Silverpaw added after.
"Well then." The ViperClan deputy added a bit weirded out.
"Mother! Mother!" A voice wailed as they bursted into camp.
"Windfur what is it?" She asked her daughter.
"Dad got hit by a monster as it moved off the Thubderpath, that's paws had crushed him!" She wailed worriedly.
"Where is he?!" Whiteshimmer demanded.
The ViperClan she-cat lead her mother to him. He laid by the side of the road, blood oozing from his mouth.
"We need to get him back to camp!" Whiteshimmer yowled.
Windfur tried to wake him up. "Father! Father!"
"We must hurry!!" Her mother yowled trying to keep herself, but was fearful at the same time.
The two helped him back to camp. Sedgeclaw stopped talking to Jayfang to see his father. "No!!" He yelled and rushed to his mother and sister. "What happened?!"
"He got hit by a monster.." Windfur whimpered sadly.
"And you didn't save him?!" The amber eyed tom asked outraged.
"How was I supposed to know!?" She wailed.
The tom snorted and turned to run away. Ryenose ran after him. "Sedgeclaw!" She called.
"Birchstar's dead..?" Windflower muttered shockingly as she pressed against her mate, Lostbird.
Windfur bowed her head sadly and padded to the warriors den as she dragged her tail in the dust.
"Why StarClan...? Take me instead..." Whiteshimmer whimpered in agony as she pressed herself to her mate.

It was moonhigh while the full moon stretched across the starry sky. "Birchstar was the finest mate a cat could have. One of ViperClan's best leaders. But also a great father..." Whiteshimmer croaked setting her gaze on her two kits from the Snake Rock below.
"Before we bury him, let us give thanks to StarClan for the life of Birchstar." She mewed.
Mudkit stared up at her mother. "Why is Birchstar sleeping mama?"
Lillytail said nothing as she curled her tail tan mottled tail around her and Darkshadow's three kits as she nuzzled Darkshadow.
Whiteshimmer stared down at him. "I remember Birchstar as well as any other cat. He was the wise, brave, and nobel cat of ViperClan.. Tonight he walks with StarClan..."
"I may not have known Birchstar too well, but I'll miss him too." Skyfoot meowed.
"As will all of WolfClan." Onestar put in.
