Minty the Merry just an fyi, Ivy got Cinderpelted by a monster but doesn't let it slow her down.
Oh boy, word of the clans even reached this far? That was pretty impressive.
"Yeah, I was born in Shadowclan. My warrior name was Ivyshade. You're kinda right, the other cats did call me a softie, but they're not that bad. They raised me right and did their jobs, and no one can complain about that." Ivy always felt she was a bit different than the other cats. As a kit, she questioned nothing, as kits do. As an apprentice, she witnessed her patrol driving off a pregnant she-cat who clearly needed help, kickstarting her desire for change. As a warrior, she left, and told no one she was leaving. She had no siblings and her mother didn't care for her, so why would she say anything? Plenty of cats went missing all the time and no one seemed to care, so she didn't make a big fuss about leaving.
I hope Kiwi sticks around. We could become friends and see the world together, I wonder what I could show her that's close to here tomorrow. Wait. Ivy looked at her wrecked leg and realized something bad.
Kiwi's pregnant and vulnerable. It's easy to protect myself with this useless leg but she won't be able to fight as her pregnancy progresses? How could I defend the both of us? I could tell her to leave...No. I can't do that. That's horrible!
Why was Ivy so attached to Kiwi already?
Ugh. This is why Shadowclan called me a softie, always wanting to help everyone. So what if they're right. No, no, there was no way Ivy would abandon Kiwi. She would just have to figure out how to do things with a friend.
"What about the kits? Have you thought of names? Is there a way to tell how many there'll be?" Remembering her warrior days, Ivy once watched the medicine cat check a pregnant queen, and was able to tell how many kits she would have. Ivy didn't know how to do that, but maybe Kiwi did?
