Warriors Canon Rewrite AU - Fire and Ice

This started getting really long with little change so I had to start rushing it! Sorry >-<

Prologue: Remains mostly the same. WindClan is fleeing from their territory, finding a sewer under the thunderpath to shelter into, staying there.

Fireheart and Greystripe finish their vigil, and go to sleep in the warriors den. Fireheart does get a dream about WindClan being chased away, although he first assumes that this was due to hearing it from cats at the latest gathering.

Fireheart tells Bluestar about Ravenpaw being alive and Tigerclaw’s actions. Bluestar refuses to believe in the latter, thinking that her nephew could never do such a thing, being Snowfur’s kin.

Fireheart and Greystripe attend the next gathering, with most things going as normal. Nightpelt is the stand-in leader, but neither believe that WindClan should come home.

Bluestar calls a camp meeting to address this matter. She speaks with some of the warriors late at night. The next morning, she calls Fireheart, Greystripe, Whitestorm and Rosetail to go and find WindClan and call them home, having chosen 2 trusted warriors and 2 new ones to raise their experience.

Whilst travelling, they find out a lot about Bluestar through Rosetail, her current mate.

The cats find the ravaged WindClan cat and pass over the Thunderpath safely, continuing on the other side where they eventually track WindClan down. The clan are very wary of the four ThunderClan cats, but Rosetail and Whitestorm are both very respected cats, who they knew wouldn’t lie.

The WindClan cats set off for home, and Fireheart, Onewhisker and Ashfoot carry Morningflower’s three young kits. Fireheart takes Gorsekit and becomes close to Morningflower, taking care of her kits for the journey home.

The group stop at Ravenpaw and Barley’s barn to rest, despite the WindClan cat’s denials. They reveal to Whitestorm and Rosetail about Ravenpaw being alive due to having no choice once Rosetail recognises his scent, but they both promise to keep the secret.

After catching up with Ravenpaw and sleeping, WindClan returns home. Fireheart makes sure that Morningflower and her three kits get rested in the nursery once it’s reinforced, before the four cats return home.

Barkface reveals that he had a vision about an unnecessary death occuring this day. It rattles the clan and helping cats, but WindClan still sends a patrol to make sure the ThunderClan cats get home safely. A RiverClan patrol ambushes them, and Tigerclaw’s patrol joins them to help. Fireheart saves Sandpaw from falling off of the gorge, but Whiteclaw, a RiverClan tom, isn’t so lucky and plummets to his death.

The patrols return and report what happened. Bluestar decides to let the issue rest despite the clearly upset Tigerclaw.

A half-moon passes. Speckletail has given birth to two kits, Snowkit and Mistlekit.To give them more room, Bluestar makes Frostfur’s kits apprentices a half-moon early. She gives Cinderpaw, Brackenpaw, Thornpaw and Brightpaw to Fireheart, Greystripe, Mousefur and Rosetail respectively. 

Fireheart and Cinderpaw go out around the territory to show her everything, and meet up with Greystripe and Brackenpaw for the second half. However, they meet a kittypet and scare her off, although Fireheart recognises her scent as Princess, his sister. He leaves Cinderpaw with Greystripe and Brackenpaw the next day to visit his pregnant sister, although Tigerclaw isn’t happy.

Fireheart continues to visit Princess frequently, doubting his own loyalty, however he always puts Cinderpaw first because this cats talents and futures were in his paws now. On a patrol with Greystripe and their apprentices, Greystripe falls into the river, but a cat from RiverClan named Silverstream rescues him.

Since that day, Greystripe slowly starts to sneak out of camp to see Silverstream, although Fireheart doesn’t know this. The latter is forced to start training Brackenpaw and Cinderpaw, and this becomes taxing.

This continues for another half-moon, with Greystripe missing every day for a long while. This angers Fireheart, who follows Greystripe one day to confront the duo. They refuse to stop seeing each other, even when Fireheart goes alone. This annoys him - how could two cats fall in love so quick when everything was against them? Why did Greystripe find himself able to do this? Because he wasn’t questioned on his loyalty, unlike Fireheart?

Whitecough, then greencough, starts to spread through the camp. Bluestar, Mistlekit, Elderkit, Tulipkit and Dappletail all come down with some form of the illness quickly. Fireheart is sent to fetch catmint, but upon returning finds Cinderpaw gone. He hears that Tigerclaw wanted Bluestar to come to the thunderpath, and Fireheart assumes Cinderpaw headed there. He goes, to discover his apprentice laying on the thunderpath.

Bluestar loses a life this night, and Elderkit dies. Yellowfang and Spottedleaf treat Cinderpaw, and get into a fight about her future ability to become a warrior. Fireheart can barely put up with his, as Greystripe doesn’t care and he feels like he didn’t teach Cinderpaw well enough. Frostfur has to come and talk to him that he doesn’t blame him about what happened to her daughter.

A moon passes. Princess has her kits, while Dappletail recovers and Patchpelt becomes ill. Tulipkit dies. Greystripe gets a cold, forcing him to stay in camp, and Cinderpaw comes down with a leg infection.

A ThunderClan patrol to attack RiverClan fails as the ice across the river melts, with Fireheart included. Greystripe feels betrayed and attacks Fireheart due to this.

Fireheart visits Princess, who gives him her first-born kit to take care of. He is taken aback but brings Cloudkit back to the camp. Brindleface and Speckletail share feeding duties.

Fireheart, determined to let Cinderpaw become a warrior, starts to slowly try train her, trying to strengthen her muscles with Spottedleaf’s help. He has basically taken over Brackenpaw’s training at this point.

Brokenstar’s rogues attack the camp not long after. Greystripe kills Clawface, saving Fireheart, and Yellowfang blinds and takes one of Brokenstar’s lives. His name is changed to Brokentail. This marks the START of Bluestar’s mental descent.

Sandpaw and Dustpaw become warriors by the name Sandstorm and Dustpelt. They take vigil after Clawface has been buried.

Cloudkit, Fernkit and Ashkit break out of camp and go hunting, and are heavily criticised when they all return.

RiverClan and ShadowClan try to drive WindClan out, and Onewhisker comes to ThunderClan for help, which they give. Fireheart spares Silverstream which Tigerclaw notices. They make up after winning the battle.

Time passed: 2.5 moons
