[Derpple and Ashie]

"Singenight!" Snarled Rainsplash, horrified and furious at what he just saw, and stepped forward with a deep set rage. He ignored the pleading expression of his mate, Swiftbreeze silently begging him to not do it, to not solidify his death sentence. "I cannot allow this! I saw Eternalstar wrench Hawkstar's head from his body, I saw the Evil Era begin, and I will not stand idly by again." The blue and brown tom squared his broad shoulders and lowered his head as if to fight. "Whatever you did to Dapplestar, I know you don't deserve to be our leader and you'll only bring destruction and terror."

"Rainsplash," whispered his mate, resigning herself as well but pleading as if she might change his mind. She'd known him her know life, she knew what he was like, there was no way she could stop him. A small part of her bubbled with pride to see he truly had become a better tom, but this meant death. "I'm with you," she said, stepping besides him and glaring at Singenight. "I'm not running this time."

He looked at her, shocked and relieved, and then licked her across the brow before turning his gaze back to Singenight. "If another Era of Darkness is to arise, we're not letting it start without a fight."
