Flag! (You may have to nudge it a couple of times) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ CHARACTERS (In order of appearance): Thrushleap Barkfur Aspen Spottedfeather (Of course I had to make an appearance in here) Grayflame Plumetail Hawkfrost Redtail ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oof, so this one is a long story. Well, two long stories... GRAYFLAME: Alrighty, so, Grayflame is the lighter gray tabby tom with white. He and Barkfur (the sorta brown she-cat; I had to keep her within the color palette) were mates. Barkfur found out Gray was training in the Dark Forest, and they broke up. Thrushleap (the orange tabby tom) and Bark started getting close and became mates. This sent Gray into a massive heartbreak and a sort of Dark Forest obsession, and he started training even more. His Dark Forest mentor, Hawkfrost, took advantage of the situation and manipulated Gray further, turning him into some kind of rage machine. The Great Battle comes along, and Gray realizes what he's become and he fights Hawk, who gives him that eye scar in the last frame. Hawk delivers a killing blow to Gray, and then Bark attacks Hawk and kills him. Bark forgives Gray in the last seconds of his life. PLUMETAIL: The Dark Forest Needs to Mind Its Own Business, The Sequel (Additional Backstory: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/190029993/ https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/250033135/) (This is before the Great Battle) Okay, so, Plumetail and Spottedfeather were mates. Darkear, a WindClan tom, manipulated Spotted with Dark Forest help, and Spotted became pregnant. Other cats found out that Spotted was pregnant with half-Clan kits, it caused a bunch of infighting among the Clans, etc. Spotted was horrified at the problem she blamed herself for, in spite of being a (sorta) zombie mind-controlled by the Dark Forest. Plume had promised to treat Spotted's kits as his own. Darkear's faction of WindClan cats (Onestar, for once, was Pro-ThunderClan here, but most of his Clanmates weren't) were planning on declaring a war with ThunderClan. Spotted ran away to try to protect her Clanmates and her kits, and poor Plume was left heartbroken. Skip forward about 6 moons, Spotted's settled(ish) with a group of loners far from Clan territory. She meets an yellow-orange tabby tom named Aspen. Aspen immediately starts crushing on her, and Spotted starts to feel something towards him as well. She tries to ignore it, because she misses Plumetail with all her heart. But she eventually becomes mates with him and they have kits, as Spotted thinks that she's never going to go back to the Clans and needs to stop mourning the past and just be happy. (There's more to that story, but I don't wanna keep typing, so bye.)
