Book 10 - Chapter 22

Breezebolt walked towards the center of the clearing where every cat that was to share a story stood, "Tonight it is my turn to share a story with the clan, As you know my name when I was first born was Breezekit. There is a reason, as you know every kitten is supposed to be named for a certain reason, there is a reason that I was named Breezekit. It wasn't just because I was a fast kit. The reason was I could and can still control breezes. My mother requested that I was named Breezebolt because I could conjure breezes that came in bolts like lightening bolts but made of air. The nursery was always very breezy when I was around so my mother created a nest just outside the nursery for me to sleep in because the other kittens weren't able to sleep with my breezes. I was young at the time and I couldn't control my power so many times my mother had me stay away from the other kittens to keep from any incidents occurring." The clan looked thoughtful before Cherrypaw spoke up, "Is that why when we are sometimes practicing certain skills that any warrior should have that there is some sudden gusts of wind that move practice prey around, or so I could mimic how I should hunt so smells aren't drifted to the prey?" she asked. Breezebolt nodded why not use my power to help the cats in my clan become warriors." The clan nodded to Breezebolt's statement, and they looked forward to Fernflash's story who was going to be sharing the next day. 

Book 10 - Chapter 21

Skyleap to had a story to share with the clan. "Cats of Fishclan this is not only my story but someone else's I will tell it how it impacts me. I have kept a secret from every cat, even my mate. As you know I have agreed to take in the kitten Mosskit. I am letting Nightblaze take care of him however. There is a reason for that, he didn't tell me truth about his parents but I felt that by giving a kitten shelter is the way I could repay Fishclan because I was once in his position. I was clan born as I believe Mosskit is, although I am not positive. I was born and then my parents abandoned me, telling me that it was for the best, and that if they could ever come back for me they would. They promised me that if they could come back and claim me as their own then I would be welcomed, they only problem was they were in a tough situation and having a kitten known to the enemy would make it worse, especially if I was kidnapped. So I was raised by a cat that I believed to be true family to me until I was given the truth by one of our ancestors. I believe that raising Mosskit I will be able to right the wrong, it was wrong of his parents to leave him all alone without a word of their trace, I didn't want what happened to me to happen to him so I helped him remember some of his early kitten hood even though I still don't know who his parents are. I promised the clan that I would forever be loyal and a current queen my duty is to raise kits, and to raise a kit that was put in the same situation as I was, was what I had to do." The clan nodded looking from Mosskit to Skyleap. 

Book 10 - Chapter 20

Rowanfur watched the clan with narrow eyes before standing up and padding towards the center of the clearing to began his story. "As you know I wasn't born in this clan but I am clan born. I was born when there were 4 clans in the forest. As you know every cat only gets one chance to live, I was an exception to that statement. I was born 4 times within a week of each other. I was born in all 4 clans. I was able to train in one clan one day and then turn back time and train in another clan. I was named the same thing in every clan. I learned all the ways of every clan. I even looked the same. Then one day I was told by our ancestors that I had to choose which clan I was going to live in forever no knowing that all the clans would merge together one day. As you know I chose Mossclan, so I had to fake my deaths in every other clan and the spirits told me that I when I woke up I was going to be a kitten in Mossclan.  All the other clans would forget my existence in their clan only that I was a kitten named Rowankit in Mossclan. Time was turned back so Mossclan didn't remember there being 2 of me. I was allowed to keep my memories and truly experience the joy of living and being a benefit to a clan. It was amazing however I have always held an advantage over the other clans in battle because I know the ways that every cat trained their apprentices. I never spied or betrayed the clans that I had seen glimpses of lives in, otherwise that would lead to suspicion. I  have allowed been a loyal warrior, and I have used all of the skills of every clan to help the current Fishclan grow stronger and survive." All the cats looked curiously at Rowanfur, and soon many cats were asking him what it was like, and if he was telling the truth. They began to quiz him on all the clans, and soon the clan realized that he was telling the truth about his past just like every other cat who has shared a story. 

Book 10 - Chapter 19

Blossomfur looked around and stared at the clan cats looked at her and she began her story, "I have a secret and a story to share myself. As you know when we were traveling 4 cats working for Darkfinch tricked us. They gave us names and a situation and we believed that they are being truthful. I do believe that they were being truthful about their names though, because the one cat Cherry as she said her name was looked familiar. Now I remember where I remember seeing Cherry. Do you remember how I had a friend named Berry? Well remember he went and lived with a cat named Cherry? I know that Cherry lived in an human home, and Berry joined her. I know this sounds crazy but I believe that Berry and Cherry both went and joined Darkfinch. When I first met Darkfinch it was in a tunnel, I went and rescued Berry that night. The only thing was it didn't seem like a rescue. Berry was well fed and happy, and he wasn't locked in the cage he was sitting there happily. I think that the only way Darkfinch has been able to find us is because of me. Berry has always been able to tell how I am, what  am feeling without having to lift a paw to do it. He was had this connection with me, that is so strong nothing can break it. He has always been able to tell where I am and what I am doing. If Berry is working for Darkfinch then there is nothing that can stop them from finding us, except for one thing. If I can get it to work it can break any bond there is. I just don't want to do it unless I absolutely have to. I have always liked knowing that Berry can tell everything about me, it mad sit easier to talk to him." The clan couldn't believe it, but they were ready to do anything to help Blossomfur break free of the bond she had with Berry if Blossomfur ever gave the word that she wanted to. 

Book 10 - Chapter 18

Ashstorm looked out at the clan and waited for the leaders of the clan to give her the signal to start her story when they did she began, "As everyone of the clan knows I am a dedicated and loyal warrior of Fishclan. I always have been and I always will be. I know how Ashstar died and I know that there is more to that story then Littlemouse or Ashstar said there was. I know this because when you share the beginning of a name with some one, or you are connected by our ancestors you can tell how they are feeling and how they are doing and what happened to them at all times. I know that Ashstar didn't receive her 9 lives when she went to receive them when Tigerstar left the clan with the tigers. She wasn't considered a true leader of the clans and she wasn't to receive her 9 lives. She returned home to her clan and she kept up the ways of a clan leader like any other leader would. She faked having 9 lives for the sake and the good of her clan. She than came down with green cough almost overnight. She fell deadly ill, and had fevers and chills. Through the night, the next morning a leader found her curled in a ball refusing to move. She asked them to get Littlemouse for he had seen her leadership ceremony. A few moments later she died, and then she didn't rise. I guess you could say that I have some of the powers of our ancestors and I know what is going to happen and what is happening with our ancestors because the cat that I share a name with is one of our ancestors. Appledawn and Applepaw this will happen once Applepaw will receive her warrior name. Blacktail and Blackmint I am sure you have noticed this connection between the two of you.. Whiteclaw and Whiteberry, even though Whiteclaw you weren't born in the clan there will be some connection. Mossfur and Mosskit, if Mosskit you were born in the clan than you will have the connection once Mosskit you are a warrior. Even Silverfrost and Silverpaw. This connection is a bond that can never be broken, and it is what makes up the clan. Be warned however sharing a name and having the power to know what is happening is not the best power in the world." All the cats sat there staring in amazement when the cats with the same names realized that it was true. 

Book 10 - Chapter 17

Seedwhisker nodded to the clan leaders and waited for the clan to quiet before speaking, "Do you remember when we were traveling over the mountains and we ran into a strange cat and we ran into Darkfinch? I know he said something to me and I retorted in some way that he obviously didn't like because he then turned and glared at me. As you know what I did next was not like me, I did not act like me. It was weird, I acted and I was moving. It was like under a curse, basically I was moving without wanting to. There is a reason for that. When Darkfinch looked at me it felt like fire and ice at the exact same time. It was like my fur burned like it was on fire and then it felt like I was frozen in a block of ice. It felt like I was not in control of me which I wasn't. Darkfinch or some other cat was in charge of my body making me do what they wanted me to do, and so that was what I had to do. It was different feeling than I had never felt before, it was different and I had never experienced the feeling before it was completely new. I had never lost control of myself before, I had always been in control and I had been able to tell myself what to do or what not to do and I would listen to me. This time I didn't. Sometimes I still feel like I don't have control, I am worried that Darkfinch may be able to control me still and see everything that I see. Also since I have kits I am worried that I have passed on the curse of being able to be controlled by Darkfinch to them. Unless I can find a way to break this curse or find a way to prove I don't have it and won't have it in the year to come I might not be able to have kittens without worrying that I will pass this on." All the cats gasped and nodded and then tried to help with all the power that they have to help Seedwhisker break free of this so called curse.

Book 10 - Chapter 16

Nightblaze looked around at the cats staring back at him. Sparrowstar nods for him to go on. "I have always cherished the clan and I am honored that I was able to live and be a part of the clan. I have a secret, I will never be able to give the clan kittens, I will never be allowed a mate, or kittens of my own. So by letting me mentor the apprentices of the clan, you are letting me be responsible for a young cat, even if I will never be their true parent. I am allowed the experience of being responsible for a younger cat, a chance that I will never be allowed with a kitten. I wish more than anything that I could have a mate and kittens of my own but I never will be allowed to. I am thankful that the clan let me experience what it is like to care for another even more than you care about yourself. Someone you would be willing to die for. I never knew what that was like until I became a mentor and was responsible for a young cat's safety. I  can't explain how grateful I am to the clan and its clan leaders, for without them I really wouldn't know anything about caring for another cat. I believe that caring and loving and being loyal to your clan mates is what makes a clan strong. So without the clan, I wouldn't know what it is like to care or love another cat as family. Therefore I wouldn't be as strong or as loyal as I am today. The clan has made me who I am.  "Wait a minute I have an idea," said Skyleap. "As you know Mistkit and Dustkit are now eating prey instead of milk, and so is Mosskit, because they persuaded him to try it. Mosskit now likes prey over milk, he doesn't need me. Nightblaze would you like to raise Mosskit as your own kit, he doesn't need anything that you cannot get him?" Nightblaze looked at the tiny kit and Skyleap in surprise. "If Mosskit agrees than I would be more then willing to raise him." Mosskit nodded and the clan looked happy for the two cats, than they settled down for the night awaiting the next days stories.
