Standing alone, at the very bottom of a large pine, Heronstar stared across the Thunderpath. Examining the tall trees on the other side, her lavender eyes flashed with the lights of a passing monster. Her ears flicked back listening to the sound of the wind rustling through the pine needles on the forest floor. The slight odor of Thunderclan came to her nose on the arms of the wind, blowing towards her. Bringing with that scent was another. Very faded, and unmistakably Shadowclan.
Heronstar's memory of the cat she once met was very clouded and murky. She could only remember little things. His name, Oakwind. His legacy, as leader of Shadowclan. Oakwind had been leader before becoming an elder in his seventy third moon. His successor had been Adderstar. A cruel and nasty tom, he lead the clan into famine. Many cats were dying of hunger, as well as disease.His cruelty had even extended over the medicine cat, telling her who she could help, and who she may not touch. Heronstar had only been a warrior at the time.
But she was a strong warrior, even then. Adderstar had few cats that were totally dedicated to his perverted way of life, and Heronstar had known that. Since starclan would not help her, and she knew she had to help the clan, Heronstar took matters into her own paws.
Gathering trusted warriors, outside of the camp was a very trying experience, but Heronstar had convinced enough warriors to uprise against the twisted leader. On a dark, cloud filled night, Heronwing had led the silent attack upon the corrupted cats. She had been the one to kill Adderstar.
Heronstar herself still had nine lives at the moment, but Adderstar had never been struck down then. She killed the leader, expecting him to get back up in a few moments and continue fighting. But Adderstar remained on the ground, much to the surprise of the clan. The only cat not surprised by the event, was the medicine cat. She told Heronwing, later that night, that Adderstar had never been truly blessed by Starclan. That is why he died only once, She had said.
After the battle, Heronwing found Oakwind in the elders' den. She asked for his councel on how to help the clan. Adderstar had been killed by her own claws, but the deputy had been killed aswell. There was no clear cat to succed to be leader. Look within yourself Heronwing. Only then will you know the right path, He had told her. Speak with the warrriors who followed you in the attack, they all know who they would choose.
It supprised her to be chosen by the cats of her clan, but she accepted none the less. She was happy, for the time being. Her clan was on its way to recovery, prey very plentiful.
Heronstar shook herself, knowing that getting distracted in her own memories was not a good idea. Not this close to Thunderclan. She crouched low to the ground, feeling the pine needles brush against her underside as she gently and silently lowered her body to the forest floor. Her eyes flashing in the dark, she waited...
