The medicine cat apprentice stared up at his new leader as the tabby explained that Ashstar hadn't died but rather just stepped down. Northpaw thought of this for a moment, but he was aware he didn't know his former leader enough to know if this was what Ashstar would really do. The young to hi some started to hi some believe that Ratnight couldn't all that bad, anointing how he'll try his best to lead the clan - and he seemed to her to hourly believe in what he was saying, wanting to rebuild the clan from the ashes the fire had left them in. But to he orly then he continued. North froze as Ratnight stayed they will no longer be upholdin their original beliefs, beliefs that the clans have followed for generations. The charcoal tom gave a slight growl escaped him, narrowing his amber orbs at Ratnight once he claimed that he was following the pawsteps that the other clans were leaving. Why is everyone taking this name? Are they all really against Starclan? And what against out Windclan... is someone else leader now? Someone with the same suffix against our traditional beliefs? North shook his head at these thoughts, once again trying to kill of his suspicions yet failing again as well. Bt he remained silent, continuing to hold his thoughts in silence - mostly out if uncertainty towards his new leader. Movement out of the corner of his autumn orbs made him turn to a calico. He watched in shock as Spottedpelt clawed at her own head. Seeing the blood, the young healer had the impulse to move towards her and offer some help, yet for some reason didn't. Part of him feared she would attack him - or at least lash out - if he approached her. It took a few heartbeats, but Noryhpaw realized that she reacting so horribly partially due to the fact that Ashstar was her own brother, but he didn't understand why was acting in an extreme level. He didn't know that she had lived under Eternalstar's rule, didn't know what was going on or the horrors she feared was looming ahead.

The kit felt a bit satisfied with the answer.I knew it!Leafkit's green orbs blinked cheerfully once more,but his pelt tingled with a slight fear,Ashstar...gone?The tom kit blinked again,but this time,fearfully.H-huh....Fennelstrike looks pretty scary!Leafkit turned to look at the new deputy,trying to rid himself of the fear clutching his fur,and mind."Where is Ashstar exactly?...Is he going to be a warrior in the clan still?"The kit asked to the Ratnight,once again,turning to look at him with bright eyes.Leafkit had always admired the former leader,and often played as the leader while playing a game of rogue fighting with the other kits,though,it was quite frustrating at times when 'someone' decided to take one of the kit's lives away.Annoyance prickled at the kits pelt,but it was more of fear than anything else.Starclan...leave behind?Leafkit's frame quivered slightly.Abandon my mother's guidance?Never!The kit thought,anger steaming out like the smoke in the fire,but he said nothing,trying not to show his anger.

Northpaw thought about Ratnight's announcement as he made his way into the den. His thoughts were swirling, preventing him from noticing his mentor already in the den. He worried for Ashstar, the clan, Crescent and Zerosight. Saddened amber orbs slowly rose, freezing the moment they fell upon the black tom sorting through the herbs. "Zerosight!" North leaped forward, bounding towards his Mentor almost like a kit boundone towards it's father. "I didn't see you in the evacuation nor aft wards when we returned. I searched for you - but I probably should'very checked here first..." he murmured the last part with slight embarrassment as he now thought this was the obvious place to look for the medicine cat. The dark tabby looked at the pile of ruined herbs and frowned. "I'm so sorry, I should'very grabbed some herbs before leaving," in hobesty, he never had the chance. Everything seemed to have happened so fast, the sudden fire caused everyone to rush out of camp and head to safety - Northpaw had been scared and confused, worrying about what would happen to his clan and fear that many would perish in the chaotic flames.

Fernglow saw Owltail and ran up to her. "Owltail! It feels like a long time since I've seen you. Were you hurt in the fire?" Fernglow indicated a burn on his paw before saying "I got this trying to help the queens."

"Yeah and I just have a burn on my paw from when I stepped on an ember but otherwise I'm ok" Owltail replied walking up to Fernglow

"That's good. It feels weird having our camp here, I mean, that camp was where I grew up and now it's gone." Fernglow looked in the direction of the original camp and sighed.

Sprucepaw might have been one of the only listeners who fully absorbed Ratnight's words and believed in them. She'd never even had much interaction with Ashstar anyways; he was just another leader who didn't seem to do much in the clan- in her eyes. The apprentice sat up straighter as she heard about the new leader's non-belief in StarClan; her green orbs glistened and shone with admiration and belief. Never had she ever imagined another cat thinking similarly to her!

But it was true. The apprentice played a small smirk on her lips, ignoring the slight flurry of chaos that occurred around her. Why was everyone so obsessed with their warrior ancestors anyways? They were just fragments of life, being held by Silverpelt in the sky. It didn't mean anything to her, and anyways, she'd never seen them in their true form and glory.
