Dayquill
Life was never slow, or forgiving.
Dayquill had learned that young. Barely an apprentice, watching his blood-soaked father cut down SkyClan's former leader. Training, or trying to, with the weight of the Dark Forest breathing down his neck. Starving through his first leaf-bare, colder and harsher than the forest had been ready for. The seasons between then and now could be called calm– they weren't the Dark Forest, at least –but there was never a moment of peace in the life of a warrior.
Only, he was no longer a warrior.
Those transitory days between leaf-fall and leaf-bare always seemed to invent a new torment for the Clans. When the air started to snap with cold, the earth lurched beneath them, uprooting trees and claiming lives. In the wake of the trembling came twolegs, furless paws catching by the scruff anyone not lucky enough to escape; leaving their glittering traps scattered between the trees to take yet more.
And while the twolegs were busy, he'd become a mate. A father. Lost his vision, become an elder.
A weary sigh left him as Dayquill gathered his paws, pushing himself out of his new nest and teetering out into camp. He was getting steadier on his paws, steady enough that he'd gotten a proper space in the elder's den rather than taking up room in Fawnshine's. Still, he wavered a bit with his steps, lingering a while on each paw to ensure his balance. His whiskers trembled against the cold air, ears twitching to follow the sounds of pawsteps and voices around him. He passed carefully through camp, searching for one voice in particular, though he did not catch it or her scent. Tail drooping a bit, Dayquill paused where he stood, calling out, "Blazefang?"

In the past several moons, Blazefang had experienced more change than she had in her whole lifetime. Even the Dark Forest days seemed simple now. Evil came, it stayed a while and screwed everything up, they fought it off and things were good again. But now? In a new clan, with no friends, no kin outside of her five rambunctious children, and a mate who would never be able to watch them grow up, Blazefang didn’t really know what to do next. Training multiple apprentices at once had somewhat prepared her for the five kits, but nothing could’ve prepared the ginger for her mate losing his sight and having to retire.
And of course, what she’d left behind nagged at her a bit too. Would Silverwing ever forgive her? What about Russetrye and Sleepyhollow? Was Whisperear okay?
Still, she kept putting one paw in front of the other. For the first time in forever, Blazefang had a family. And they needed her. True, this life wasn’t what she’d hoped. She couldn’t even share a nest with her mate, with him in the elders’ den and her in the nursery. But things would get better. They had to. Hey, at least now she could stretch her legs with most of her kits out of the nursery.
She picked the wrong time to do that, it seemed. Dayquill was calling for her, and she was downwind and away from the nursery. Whoops! Trotting over to her mate, Blazefang mewed, “Sorry, love. I just needed a leg stretch. I’m here now, do you need anything?”
