Cinderstar
Never before had she been so disappointed in her Clan. Frustration unfurled around her heart like thorn and she resisted the urge to yowl for them. She had no energy left, not when it all went into grieving the young, lost warrior.

Looking up she noticed Mapleleaf pad over, and was grateful that at least one Clanmate had noticed. "I... I'm not sure. I found him near Nectarflame, and he... he was just... I think he fell." It was obvious, with the multiple broken parts of him that she had seen. There were no other apparent injuries, and not for the first time that night did Cinderstar have to fight back tears.

If none of her other Clanmates were going to come honor Cornfuzz, then so be it. "Will you help me bury him at Willow's Rise?" Her voice was strained as she asked the warrior, giving Cornfuzz one last farewell lick across his ear before ducking her nose underneath his body and hoisting it up onto her back. She wouldn't wait for an answer; if Mapleleaf wanted to follow her she was more than welcome to. But she slipped out of the camp entrance, headed towards ThunderClan's burial grounds.
