Page Transcript:

Silver holds an orange leaf in her mouth as she looks worriedly down at her mother inside the den. Jay is laying down, looking extremely sick with her eyes closed and breathing through her mouth. Silver places the leaf on her mother’s face and says “I hope you wake up soon, mom. Things are getting tough here without you.”.

Silver hears a scratching sound behind her and her ears perk up. She starts to turn back to whomever has walked into the family den, still looking back at her mother. She starts speaking, “I’m so glad you’re back, Rowan, I” and cuts herself off. She looks extremely alarmed and outraged, fur fluffed up, a snarl on her face and ears held back. “YOU.” she says.

We then see that Eagle is the cat who had entered the den. He has one paw lifted up, gesturing to himself with claws out. He is grinning maliciously as he says “What, you don’t miss your other brother?”.

Chapter cover for chapter 1! 

[Page description: Silver and Rowan are in a simplified style, struggling while sinking further down underwater in an unknown place. Bubbles rise up around them both. There is text that says Chapter 1, Survivor’s Guilt.)

Current avatar is Silver’s future design with the lesbian and trans flags!

Jay leaned forward, interrupting Silver in her response to Eagle in order to diffuse the situation.

“I’m sure you will, Sil. The best leader there ever was. We’ll have to tell your dad when we visit him next after this sandstorm clears up; he can give you leader tips.”

Silver groaned, ears flicking back. “Mom, I don’t NEED my fur fixed! It’s fine, I just want to hear the rest of the story!”

Hawk piped up, “Or you can tell us another story about dad?”

Jay smiled, leaning back and looking down at her kits, feeling her small smile in her heart more than on her mouth. She would do anything for them, and was proud of how they were growing up into little warriors in their own right, even if they never decided to join the clans. 

“Of course, Hawk. How about how we met? It was before he became the leader of SilverClan, before he even joined in fact! He used to be a loner like me, you see, and our parents were always traveling...”

The sandstorm outside raged on, a near-constant backdrop to the five kitten’s childhood. They all listened with rapt attention to the rest of the story, even Eagle. It was an almost perfect family moment and would have been made better only if their father, Goldstar, was there. 

END PROLOGUE

“And I’ll be the best deputy in the clans!” Rowan shouted as he tackled his sister Silver, grinning. “I’ll make sure everybody listens to you and be the most loyal cat and the best at organizing so you don’t have to worry about patrols!”

Silver gasped in surpise as she was knocked over, but ended up grinning. “Yeah, we’ll be the best leader and the best deputy and so cool StarClan will always come to visit us in MoonClan ‘cause you’ll be leader after me, Ro!”

Eagle laughed from the corner. “I can’t believe you two even want to become clan cats. All they do is be bossy and don’t let anybody else on their land.”

Silver stuck her tongue out at him. “That’s not true! GoldClan always shows us the way through their territory so we can visit dad, it’s only DawnClan that’s the problem, ‘cause DuskClan isn’t even around anymore and dad even leads SilverClan! He used to be a loner too, y’know!”

Eagle scoffs, ears tilted back as he sits back down. “You really think that’ll always be true? Someday he’ll be gone and the clans won’t be so nice anymore, and then you’ll see what happens.”

(Also! I know some of these cats are looking a liiiiiittle bit different from how they looked before; its the combination of an over time style change and more simplified/uniform designs! The designs they had before were a bit.... Clunky, to draw repeatedly, and forget about any possible animation! The new refs will be posted at some time in the future, but the designs should be similar enough to the old that the characters are still recognizable! If they aren’t, just send me an ask and I’ll post the character’s new ref that has their name on it.)

(the current avatar has Jay’s redesign, btw!

“And the leaders all took their clans after that, because that was when they split into clans, and GoldClan went under the mountain, the only way into or out of the valley! And DuskClan went up on top of the mountain on the other side of the valley, watching over the lands outside, because they proved they could be peaceful and not spy on the other clans! And DawnClan went to the forest, because that was where they blended in the best, and SilverClan went to the fields because they could find the most bones there! 

And I’m gonna be the best leader of SilverClan when I grow up! I’m gonna be the wisest and give all the other cats lotsa food and keep everybody safe! I’ll be so good a leader they make me leader of the other three clans too!”

Silver spoke, getting more and more excited, practically buzzing at the thought. 

“You’ll be able to live in the clans then, mom, and loners won’t be kicked out, and DawnClan’ll have to stop being mean then!”

Hawk and Bronze stopped in their tumbling to listen. They were both used to this vehemence from their sister, but she could get awfully loud when she was excited about something.
