Default the things we lost [malcontent burial event]

Event [#event]

Mistyshard

It was sad.

So many lives lost to ThunderClanners, valuable members of RiverClan dead.

Mistyshard padded into the center of the clearing soon after the meeting had concluded. The sun was beginning to set and she wanted to get these bodies buried before they started to rot or the territory was completely dark. So many things to do, she hadn't even tended to her wounds yet. It felt like her shoulders were dragging her down, her joints and muscles aching. Her ear was still pounding, but at least it had stopped bleeding. She'd go visit Marigoldleap later. Later always seemed to be the answer. A little sigh escaped from her maw and she let her amber gaze sweep over the corpses. Eight of them, eight too many.

There was no time to waste. RiverClan needed to get back to its normal state and staring at the dead bodies for hours wishing things hadn't gone the way they did would not help. Battle came with death, she had learnt to accept that. She'd even died in battle herself but StarClan had been so kind to send her back. Her eye gleamed with a distant emotion as she drew her gaze away from the deceased.

"Listen up, cats of RiverClan! Pricklestep, Moonfoot, Troutfall, Duckshade, Flutterpaw, Smolderpaw, Frostpetal and Foxmoon have all lost their lives in the raid. This is the burial n' vigil Birdsnow was talking about. We will be travelling to Sleepy Thicket, so please help me with carrying the bodies if you're physically capable." She gave some of the injured cats a sharp look as a warning. If they collapsed because of overestimating themselves that would be a problem. "Please do ensure kits stay in camp, we don't need any more trouble today. For now let's get them to Sleepy Thicket, we can speak our condolences there."

She padded over to Troutfall and hoisted the warrior onto her shoulders before making her way to RiverClan's burial place. The tom was heavy for sure, but she could endure. The corpses needed to be carried somehow and they deserved to be buried respectfully.

 


NOTE: This takes place after the meeting and any post battle healing. If your cat is capable please have them help Mistyshard carry the bodies : )
