Hiya elders (open)

[Deleted]

Dawnkit padded in the elders den, wondering if they should tell her a story. "Hiya elders," she mewd to the elders, "Mind if you tell me a story?"

[Windflurry]

Windflurry's ears twitched and her green eyes looked over to see a kitten. She rose to her paws and padded over as she took a seat. "Sure dear what type of story would you like to hear?"

[Deleted]

Dawnkit looked at the elder, "Are there any stories about deathclan?" She had heard about the clan made of rouges. "I'm dawnkit by the way."

Maplefrost let out a huge yawn as he sat up in his nest. A visiting kit? We don't get those too often. The old calico stiffly got to his paws and walked over to settle next to his mate, tail curling around hers.

"Yes, there are plenty of stories about DeathClan. Those cats get up to no good all too often. Do you want to hear about the time when they took over our Clan for several moons?"

[Deleted]

"Sure!" She mewd with excitement as she sat down patiently

Blazekit tumbled into the elders den, hoping for a story. He spotted two elders with another kit. "I guess I'll join," he thought as he walked over to them, "Hey fellow cats, may I join?"

| Windflurry please don't abandon me ;-; |

"Of course," purred the elder tom in response to Blazekit. "Get comfortable - it's a bit of a long tale."

He paused to allow the kittens to settle in before speaking again. "This happened on a day many seasons ago. Drought, the leader of DeathClan, had been leading a series of attacks on the other Clans. They'd hit everywhere except here. We didn't think he'd come to the mountains - but he did. He led a bunch of his followers into camp for a raid."

"It was chaos. The enemy cats seemed to be everywhere. They were concentrating their assault on our camp's weak points - the medicine den, the nursery, and this den. I wasn't retired yet, so I was in the middle of the fight. Everything seemed to be going well… but then they did something unexpected. Do either of you know what happened?"

[Deleted]

Umm I don't know, what happened? Replied the she-cat, she was suprised with the story so far and she wanted to see what happened next.

[Windflurry]

I shall not ;w; @bellbell04 @maplefrost sorry this was during my inactivity path. I'm back 5ever

"I remember this! Didn't they steal a kit? I don't remember its name but the poor thing was taken in the midst of the battle!" She flattened her ears, remembering the events. Windflurry wasn't fighting, she had already been retired, but she watched in horror as her Clan fought bravely against DeathClan. "After that DeathClan cats took over the Clan and they held that kit hostage for about a moon, maybe even more if I remember correctly." She added.

She looked back at her mate. "Your turn to continue from this part. What happened next?" She looked at the kit with a small smile. She hoped the kit was enjoying it so far.

Maplefrost nodded towards Windflurry. "Yes - Splashkit. Drought snuck into the nursery while everyone was busy fighting elsewhere; the poor kitten didn't stand a chance." He frowned slightly, knowing that being a DeathClan hostage couldn't have been a pleasant experience. At least they hadn't killed her or any of the other kits.

"It felt like DeathClan had been occupying camp for seasons, though I'm sure it wasn't really that long. But one day, a cat named Lyric came here. She told us that DeathClan had been attacked by rats and that they were all busy fighting - there was time to sneak in and try to rescue the hostages. Dustpetal decided to trust her."

"It was risky, for sure - however, it was our only chance. We sent a warrior named Reedtail to fetch Splashkit. Nobody was sure whether we'd ever see him again! And there was trouble… Drought himself found out what Lyric had done, and almost killed her for it. He was too late, fortunately; Reedtail had already escaped with Splashkit. A harrowing escape, indeed!"

It was a long story, but a good one. The old calico always liked telling youngsters about important events in the Clans' history. He glanced between Dawnkit and Blazekit, trying to see whether they'd liked the tale.
