--------
Glinting eyes seem to glow from the undergrowth of the forest, the cats on the sun filled rocks unaware of the approaching danger mere fox lengths away. “Thunderclan attack!” yowled a tortieshelled tom, which was strange enough as is, but what was even more strange was the dark tabby with bright amber eyes at his side. He leaped into the battle, his unusually long claws slicing into the first fish slicked cat he could find. They tumbled cross the rocks, yowls of pain and anger echoing around the forest as fur went flying and blood ran. The tabby sent the other cat flying with a strong kick, shaking his fur he peered around the battle, watching through narrowed eyes he didn't notice a tom sneaking up on him from behind.
The tabby hissed in rage as claws dug into his back, he rolled over smushing the smaller tom and knocking the breath out of him, he didn't have time to recover as the dark tabby lept, kicking his back claws into the soft belly of the intruder until he escaped the painful grasp and ran off. A loud crash sounded through the air, causing many cats to pause in open horror as blood slowly leaked out from under the rocks. “Oakheart!” cried one of the slicked warriors, rushing over to the rocks in disbelief, after a few moments of hopeless digging the grey tome wheeled on the torte shelled tom in rage, “Look at what your unneeded attack did Redtail! You killed our deputy, and we all know here what kind of dishonor that is on a clan.” He snarled, fur bristling until he seemed twice his size.
Redtail for his part did not respond in anger, just stared numbly at the grey tom and the fallen rock pile, he dipped his head in acceptance of the grey tom’s words before slowly standing up. “Thunderclan… let's leave.” He said loudly, the bravo from before seemingly gone as he made his way back into the forest, ignoring the heavy silence that seemed to follow him.
The tabby tom paused for a single moment, watching his deputy slink away like a measly kitten, his lips drew back in disgust before flicking his tail, following the rest of his retreating clan. They walked through the forest, some cats limping while others grit their teeth and ignored the pain, a heavy cloud seem to blanket over them, a sense of dread on what will happen to their deputy and the rest of the patrol. "H-hopefully Redtail won't get exiled Tigerclaw." Mewed a skinny black tom behind him, Tigerclaw grunted in agreement "Ravenpaw, Bluestar is a fair leader and will listen to his side of the story, you should know this." He growled out. Ravenpaw flinched and scurried off to the other side of the patrol.
Eventually the cats stumbled into the camp, warriors surrounding them and asking questions at once, Tigerclaw snarled in annoyance and limped away, refusing to show any signs of pain. "Back away, back away, let me do my job." Spottedleaf yelled over the chatter, causing most of the other cats to flee and wait for her to finish before continuing. Tigerclaw watched through narrowed eyes as Redtail walked over to Bluestar and talked to her quietly. They met eyes and the leader beckoned him over with a nod of her head, "Is this true Tigerclaw, did a death actually occur in the battle?"
"I'm sad to say that it is true Bluestar, and cats from both clans saw it happened." He mewed gravely, ears flicking as he saw Redtail bow his head in the sign of submission. He curled his tail in anger at seeing the once proud tom fall so fast and quickly, with a dismissal of Bluestar he padded away, done with the small testimony and limped into his den, ignoring Spottedleafs calls and curling into his nest with a huff.

Spottedleaf padded out of her den, sitting next to the mostly empty prey pile and curling her tail neatly around her paws. Bluestar soon sat beside her, flicking an ear in greeting before looking up at the sky for a moment as well. “How’s the wounded?” she asked quietly, peering down at the smaller she cat.
“Mousefur has a deep cut on her ear but it will heal, the rest only have mild scratches.” she mewed quietly, eyes wide and seeming to reflect the stars. “What will you do with Redtail?” she asked, blinking before looking back at the sky once again.
Bluestar sighed, “He will have to be demoted of course for the killing of another warrior, Riverclan would want him to be exiled but since it was indirect he has no reason to get the full punishment of banishment.”
"Riverclan will disagree and try to seek justice, especially with how it was their deputy who was killed."
"Riverclan will just have to accept my decision, Redtail is a good warrior and with no kits in the nursery and few warriors as is, we need any paw that can help."
Spottedleaf bobbed her head once in agreement with the decision, her ears perking up slightly as a shooting star went across the sky. Her whiskers quivered as her fur bristled in either shock or fear before relaxing after a couple of heartbeats, panting and blinking rapidly. “Fire alone will save our clan.”
“How will fire save our clan? All fire does is destroy, its feared by all clans.” Bluestar said, tail flicking slightly in puzzlement as she tried to understand what the prophecy meant.
“I do not know Bluestar, but it must be urgent if starclan has decided to show me this instead of waiting until the half moon.” She dipped her head and stood up, walking back to her den, leaving the leader behind in the moon filled clearing.

On the other side of thunderclan, a fire branded tom dreamed of cats fighting, yowling and fur being shredded as he watched in open horror as one fell after another.
