Time and Thyme

They're running out of time. They need more thyme.

Grasspaw never expected her future to change overnight. Becoming a medicine cat apprentice wasn't the path she was supposed to take-but it's the one her heart pulled her toward. Between the scent of herbs, StarClan's quiet guidance, and the weight of responsibility settling on her shoulders, she begins to find where she truly belongs.

But everything shifts when a strange sickness sweeps through the forest, weakening warriors and striking fear into every Clan. As cats fall ill one by one, hope narrows to a single fragile cure:

Thyme.
And the Clans are running out of it.

With desperation rising, old alliances fracture, trust crumbles, and the forest teeters on the brink of war. The Clans are ready-terrifyingly ready-to fight for thyme.

Caught in the storm is Grasspaw, trying to learn, heal, and stay true to herself. But when she discovers the truth about Fablepaw-the friend who smiled like an ally but acted like an enemy-her world twists again. Fablepaw's betrayal cuts deep... until the day she collapses with the very sickness that's destroying the forest.

And Grasspaw is the only one who can save her.

Now she must heal the cat who hurt her most, even as her heart battles anger, confusion, and compassion. A medicine cat does not choose who deserves to live-only how hard she'll fight to save them.

As thyme dwindles, tensions rise, and the forest stands one spark away from chaos, Grasspaw must decide what kind of healer she is meant to become... and how far she's willing to go to protect what remains of hope.

A story of herbs, heartbreak, betrayal, loyalty, and the fight for the forest's last chance at survival.
