Epilogue part-I

Blizzardclaw, Wolfwind, Scarpelt, Redclaw, Rippledusk and Vinepaw climbed the moss tree, emerging on the surface to find nothing but heavy winds, dark clouds and dry, humid weather.

They sat in silence, listening to the whispers of the wind. After a few moments they rose, Rippledusk and Scarpelt carrying Redclaw. They moved through the unfamiliar territory, Wolfwind leading them from two-leg place to FireClan's territory.

The moon shone through the clouds, giving them little light. The hot, sticky and smelly pavement burned his pawpads and his shoulder burned in pain, eyes squinting to see through the winds.

They all listened to Wolfwind tell stories of her and Scarpelt in ClawClan, so much on all their minds but they knew Wolfwind was keeping their minds off Moonfur and the war and that Two-leg place were deserted by the two-legs.

Wolfwind was at the head of the group with Blizzardclaw,Vinepaw behind the gray and white she-cat. Rippledusk and Scarpelt were some mouse-lengths apart, Redclaw layed across their backs, her tail dragging lighty across the ground.

Eventually they made it to the border with little problems. Moonfur was scented twice, Wolfwind hiding them whenever she came too close. When they got to the barn, Wolfwind led them to a small opening and they each went through, coming to a sweet, warm spacious area.

They waited as they listened, coming to hear a thump some moments later then a purr. A light brown she-cat came into view, her green eyes sweeping over the cats' warmly.

They each conversed with one another, Blizzardclaw coming to learn that Mist, Gourd, Toad and Twistedear was living in the barn with Aster. Rippledusk learning Blizzardclaw was Moonfur's son. Wolfwind and Scarpelt telling them that Arnie, Pike and Badgertooth was killed by a few Clan cats' in retaliation after the war.

Dawn was approaching slowly. Blizzardclaw sat close to what he found out was a window and looked out over the dark blob of trees. The cats' he traveled with was asleep, well most of them.
They had ate well, Scarpelt, Rippledusk, Wolfwind and Aster catching the plump mice that resided there.

He heard faint mews coming from underneath him and he flicked his tail once. He rose and glanced at Redclaw, the white she-cat in the corner, her stomach rising slowly. Aster worked on her until she seemed satisfied that Redclaw was better than how she was in the sewers.

He looked over the edge and peered down, estimating the jump. He leaped and he gritted his teeth once his shoulder began to hurt.

The talking died down once he turned around and he recognized Wolfwind, Aster and Rippledusk.

"Where's Scarpelt and the others'??" He asked quietly.
Aster quickly looked at Wolfwind and the two gave a nod.

"Scarpelt is patrolling outside to make sure Moonfur isn't around and Mist and her kits' are asleep." Aster spoke up, Ripple closing his eyes. "Redclaw is up there where you just came from." He nodded slowly.

The small conversation died down as they didn't know what to say. Ripple twitched his whiskers and yawned widely. Wolfwind began to wash her pelt, and moments later she stretched.

Aster watched Blizzardclaw and he watched her. It was something about these group of cats' that he felt drawn too. He noted that Wolfwind was the one who had the most respect and that Aster held the small group of cats' together.
