[Most other pages won't get context like this, but it's too much info to fit into one page and I just don't have the energy to draw more, it'll take too long] MOON 0 After their exile from HollowClan for conspiracy, 10 cats seek shelter outside of the territory. [More below]

Snapwing, previous HollowClan deputy and the leader of the coup, attempted to murder HollowClan's leader, Eelstar, with the help of his previous mentor, Hootwhisker, and the leader's daughter, Maggotbelly. Icefur left alongside them, taking her daughter, Willowkit, and mate Echostep. Poppypaw and Spottedpaw (Snapwing and Hootwhisker's apprentices), Stagrunner (Hootwhisker's son), and Shadowleap (Maggotbelly's brother), were exiled alongside them, the Leader accusing them all of being involved once Maggotbelly tried to shift the blame onto her brother.

They came across a shipwreck, taking refuge in the hull for the night to avoid the snow beginning to fall. Snapwing looks to his comrades with a firey determination. “We’ll stop here for the night and plan for the morning. StarClan as my witness I will make Eelstar pay for what he’s done to us.”

Icefur nods, settling in close by to him. "You've done the right thing, Snapwing. We've come to the right place. I can feel it in my bones."

"I've never doubted your intuition before, Icefur. I hope I can continue to count on you." Snapwing murmurs back to her, before turning his attention to Maggotbelly. "Have you heard anything from StarClan yet?"

"We've only just stopped, Snapwing. I swear to you, you'll be the first to know." Maggotbelly assures, resting her head onto her paws.

"We'll speak again at dawn. Rest for now. We've come a long way."

As Snapwing finally falls into his own restless sleep, the waking world drains away around him, and he pulls himself off the sticky ground, looking around, revealing a single dark figure behind him.

“My. It’s been too long since I’ve seen any cat.” Mumbletooth growls, teeth bared in a scheming smile.

Snapwing looks taken aback. Mumbletooth cuts him off when he opens his mouth to speak.

“You bring your filthy HollowClan paws into my land, and what do you expect from that? A blessing? A gift?” “I’ve left HollowClan!” Snapwing hisses, getting up into the face of Mumbletooth, who sits unphased. “That pit of crowfood is nothing to me!”

Mumbletooth has begun to circle the tom, giving a ghostly laugh. “You have no idea what you’ve gotten yourself into.” Mumbletooth purrs, licking his lips as if he’s about to rip into the smaller cat like a mouse. “You will all join me in this murky pit one day.” He approaches, getting right back up into Snapwing’s face, the tom stuck in the tarry water, but Mumbletooth stands on it. “You will remember me as Mumbletooth, I grant you a life for endless ambition, and I will be right here to see you again when it is ripped back out of you.” as he fades, all that is clearly visible are his sharp teeth. “Welcome to MumbleClan, Snapstar.”

Snapstar jolts awake with his new name ringing in his ears.
