Interlude II
In wake of Peony's untimely passing, the responsibility for his kit weighs heavy on Ashenpelt's shoulders. With no previous or current queens, the Clan's desperation takes them to their closest neighbors.
Quillstar's body hit the water hard, breaking away the thin sheet of ice that formed over the Oasis. Without Lightninggrowl to hold him down this time, his mind struggled against his body's urge to kick back up. His lungs burned and the water chilled his old joints stiff. But as he began to sink like a stone and his vision darkened, a familiar warmth reached out for him with eyes glimmering like twin stars.
It was why he had been chosen.
A reminder of who he should have been.
It's what he needed to be for his Clan now.

Interlude I
I'm back! Still going to be a while until the next moon update but I've been wanting to make these short bonus "interludes" to give more lore and insight on individual characters which wouldn't fit in a moon update.
Also, Silk's son looks kinda familiar, perhaps?
@loudclan-clangen
Been thinking about this a lot. I think they would be friends. <3
The Q in QuillClan stands for queer!
Rest assured this lineup will rapidly expand in future moons.
Bonus:
This is a joke, she wouldn't actually be upset about this. There was definitely no denying who the kit's father was as soon as the Clan saw him though.
In the frigid early morning, before all the dawn patrols could be organized, QuillClan halts at the sound of Peony's kitting. Lightninggrowl sits outside his den, feeling as though he could hack up his lungs, and can provide little assistance. As Sleekthorn helps Peony through her labor, it becomes apparent the queen is struggling more than what is typical.
The hunting patrol returns by early afternoon, oblivious to the anxiety gripping the Clan.
Peony couldn't survive complications with her kitting and has passed at 41 moons old. She is survived by her son and the father of her kitten. The frantic chatter outside the medicine den is distant to Ashenpelt, his head whirs as he processes the tragedy before him and his responsibility in it.

Tbh I was so upset to lose Peony this early because I though it would be good for morale to have such a sweet character around. I really wanted an Ashenpelt character arc but I really didn't plan for it to be at her expense. Anyway, congrats to the small handful that correctly guessed the sire and/or litter number!

Heavy snow has grasped QuillClan's steppe in its chill, freezing the territory in a near deathly stillness. Lightninggrowl has come down with a debilitating case of yellowcough. The young warriors disperse in a desperate attempt to find any useable herbs that will aid him and the expectant Peony.
Peony faces a grim realization.
