TW: mentions of animal death
Out of the two other story pieces already made for Magpieclan, I like this the best :) From now on, this'll be the style/layout of posts.
Also more lore for Magpieclan! The first page states that "tradition tells Midgestar to turn them to another group." The reason for this is that as the Followers of the Magpies, they would only accept blue, black (also gray too), and white furred cats because pelt color determined the spiritual connection they had to the magpies. It's not that they held anything against other pelt colors, as they would help and heal any in need but would politely refuse to admit them to their group, it's just that no other pelt color is able to connect w/ the magpies and gain their magpie feathers after death. Although taboo, rarely other pelt colored cats would be admitted to join the Followers of the Magpies. However, their spirits, after death, would be unable to become a magpie and forced to wander. (The magpies can't control this and the same goes for kittens borne from Followers of Magpies who have other fur colors :( sad)
The reason the magpies send the sign of the flock flying with the sparrows is to show that Magpieclan will need to adapt and change from their old traditions and beliefs if they are to thrive, succeed, and ally with the other clans.
I love the drawing of Faith and Bumble sm :( Bumble was too young to remember his mother but Faith remembers very clearly the day they lost her. However, they both grieve her loss.
