HI SORRY I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED what exactly was tranquilstorm doing that got her clannates killed? why did she sacrifice herself for agonypaw if she was trying to get HER killed? what were her motives? i'd love to hear her story

yeah i porously kept her shit a lil vague from Agonypaws POV for a reason >:3

HALF because i wanted someone to ask me whats up! and half because thats kinda how it was written in the outlines i did. Every chapter was from either Agonypaw, Deckerpaw and or Eveningpaw's POV

Only one of the last Chapters was from Tranquilstorms POV and was meant to be a retelling of all the events from from POV

SO! time for miss Tranquilstorms side of the story

And her story starts a good bit before the start of Agonypaws arrival, back when she was an young warrior alongside her sister Daisynose. The two were warriors alongside Prismshine for a short while before he became leader.

The three of them were close friends, especially Daisynose and Prismstar. Daisynose got along with everyone and to Tranquilstorm, her sister was her whole world. She didn't get along with many others on her own and usually her sister was the one to make the push

(rest under cut)

A few moons into Prismstars rule he declared Daisynose as his second Deputy. Daisynose was honored and would work hard to live up the expectations Prismstar had for her. Tranquil and Daisy began to have less time together, but Tranquilstorm was proud watching her sister work so hard for a position she was so proud to be working, and by her best friends side. Daisynose told Tranquilstorm how much she wanted to live up to prismstar who everyone admired.

Then one day their camp was attacked with no warning, bye Loyalclan cats led by the current lead at the time Flaxstar along with a few cats from Loyalclan who believed in his flawed ideology.

During the fighting Flaxstar attempted to kill Prismstar only to be stopped by Daisynose to was killed in the crossfire. Tranquilstorm promptly returned the blow and took Flaxstars final life, and the the Loyalclan cats ran.

Mutestar was made the next leader of Loyalclan and she extended an apology to Gloryclan for what their late leader had done, and prismstar accept the apology without a second thought.

To many in the clan this was admirable and such a kind thing he was doing to the new leader, hoping for a better future.

But for Tranquilstorm, she saw it as him backstabbing her, and she wasnt afraid to tell him. After they returned home from meeting Loyalclan she spoke to him alone telling him they should seek out some for of vengeance for Daisynose who gave her life for not just the clan but Prismstar. Prismstar expressed that fighting Loyalclan wouldn't bring her sister back.

Tranquilstorm couldn't beleive how calm he was, how could he not want to do more? he didnt even move to avenger her during the fight, how could he belittle her death like this.

But nothing could be done, no one was on her side, everyone loved and agreed with Prismstar.

So Tranquilstorm, sat in the back and faded away. She would do her work but nothing more. without her sister what was the point.

Prismstar ended up dying saving his apprentice Bittertounge from Drowning the mud. And he was forever remembered as a hero, but to her he was the friend who betrayed her.

She barely remembered ther clanmates face and names with how little she interacted with them. It was almost like she was nothing more than a shadow.

Until a small gray kitten approached her. So cocky, waltzing up to her with a fat mouse in her mouth so big she had to side wobble her paws around it so she didnt trip. Promptly sat down next to Tranquilstorm like they were old friends and began to eat.

It caught her off guard and she finished eating letting the kit sit with her, but once she finished she walked off without a word. She wasnt gonna let some nose kit force herself into tranquilstorms life. Let along some grand kit of Prismstar.

But it kept happening, this little kit wouldn't leave her alone, following her everywhere like she was her own kit. Completely annoying.

Then the strangest thing happened, their leader Revelstar approached Tranquilstorm. Tranquilstorm could swear she's probably never spoken to Revelstar in the many moons she'd known her. Yet here she was asking Tranquilstorm to take a walk with her.

Revelstar expressed that she notice Agonypaw had taken a shine to Tranquilstorm, and she knows Tranquilstorm had never had an apprentice or seemed interested in clan life, but still felt she should ask if she would consider taking on Agonypaw as an apprentice, she really thinks they would be good for one another.

Tranquilstorm almost immediately says no, but then she starts to think. Maybe she could use this, maybe this was her in to finally have closer.

She never could hurt Prismstar, but maybe if she destroyed his kin, stopped his linage, upset his stupid spirit up in Starclan he would understand what she felt.

So she took on Agonypaw, She would begin to train the little runt and quickly learn how difficult it was. She watched the other mentors Bogshadow and Bittertounge train their apprentices with ease. While Tranquilstorm is struggling to even teach agonypaw where stuff is located, let alone hunting or fighting.

After awhile she begins to realize Agonypaw may be a bit more like her grandfather than she realize. Prismstar went blind as a warrior, said it ran in his family. From the looks of it Agonypaw was struggling to recognize locations or judge how far prey or enemies are. Often missing and losing her prey.

Tranquilstorm begins having to compensate for Agonypaws disabilities, she had to make it look like she was even trying to train her apprentice so she could keep her around long enough to execute her plan.

When Tranquilstorm wasnt training Agonypaw or at camp, she was sneaking off to the deep parts of the marsh where she knows she saw a large snapping turtle, most would just mistake it for a rock and never see it coming. Tranquilstorm knew the beast well and had begun to feed it, help it grow and trust her. Her ultimate plan was to feed her apprentice to the turtle so no one could trace it back to her.

She would get large fish that didnt swim the rivers (not that she was any good at fishing herself) from one of the ally cats that lived in Honorclan Territory. best treat food for a big hungry turtle. She even teasingly called the beast Grendel after the beast Glorystar was said to have fought many many moons back.

Tranquilstorm continues to train Agonypaw, and Agonypaw begins to open up about how she feels like a failure and that she'll never live up to her grandfathers name. Tranquilstorm can't help but think of her sister talking about how she wants to live up to prismstars expectations while she was deputy. But shakes off this memory.

However one day while out to feed her turtle, joined by Rooster who was helping bring in a bigger catch of fish from the markets. Bittertounge happened to catch them talking about Tranquilstorms plans.

Tranquilstorm got into a fight with bittertounge and ended up killing him for his silence. this hadnt been Tranquilstorms intention but she couldn't go back now. She had to complete her goal.

She left the body near the muddy grotto, but with her luck the body was found. The damn turtle will eat everything endlessly until she needs to get rid of a body.

after the mourning of Bittertounge she returns to training agonypaw, even once in awhile trying to lure her toward the grotto to finally finish her plans, but either they run into interruptions or most of the time she just, doesnt? sometimes agonypaw says something and she thinks about her sister again or she just feels bad for the apprentice. But sometimes she just looks at Agonypaw and doesn't even remember she's Prismstars family, she just see's Agonypaw.

But she can't back down now, she's come too far. Theres blood on her paws.

So when Tranquilstorm hears the other mentors mention assessments Tranquilstorm decided to throw Agonypaw into the ring. She wasnt read for it just the other day she failed to keep up with her cousins at every part of training. And when Awepaw forgave Agonypaw for hurting Humidpaw, It left a sour taste in Tranquilstorms throat. She knows she was projecting her feelings of Prismstar excusing all of the loycalclan cats but it was how she felt.

So she knew if she threw agonypaw into the ring to try her shot at becoming a warrior she would probably fail. Probably break her spirits a bit, and maybe.. just maybe thats just the kick she needed for her plan.

But just for assurance, she prompts Agonypaw to go crab hunting, something she had even gotten quite good at recently. But instead she left the torn up shells of the shellfish into snake holes, which inevitably led to Agonypaw getting bit right in the eye.

Agonypaw would lose the eye and Tranquilstorm didn't even feel good about it. She remembers how blood turning cold in her paws as she watched her apprentice poke at the snake hole. Why did she do that? what was the point? she just needed to kill her, not torture her?

NO! no no this had to happen, she needed this to happen. It was all coming together.

But... she looked so pathetic and sad alone in that nest whimpering. Tranquilstorm stayed by her apprentices side after she had to break the news that it be a little longer till she would be a warrior.

When Agonypaw begins to feel well enough to leave the medicine cat's den she's invited to the gathering. Tranquilstorm sits by her for awhile before dismissing herself to make dirt.

Secretly running off to meet Rooster to get the fish they agreed upon, as Tranquilstorm originally didnt plan to go to the gather but got roped into it she had already agreed to meet Rooster.

Rooster begins to tease her for and ask her how long she’s gonna be needing the scraps, as their not easy to get ahold of. ‘Plus ya said the kid would be gone ages ago’ tellng her

tranquilstorm refutes with ‘i already got her eye, and she trust me more than ever. The final blow will only be more sweet. Any day now she'll be able to execute the plan’

rooster tells tranquilstorm she’s too soft for this and that she clearly cares about agonypaw some, or at least feels guilty or else the apprentice woulda been out of the picture long ago and we would already be working on the other apprentices.

Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of hush whispers from up in the trees with movement, but before she can investigate a dog being walked comes along and scares them off.

Tranquilstorm quickly hids the fish before returning to the gather.

In the night after they return home she fetches the fish and feeds the turtle once again, and on the way home it begins to rain. Tranquilstorm begins to question her plan, insisting she needs to delay it more to make sure it works.

Then she notices the moat around the camp draining water away and begins to thing as she looks over the side into the camp

the apprentices den was right under her... if she simple tampered with it the mud and water would go right down into the den. Maybe Agonypaw would be in there and buried under the mud. They've never be able to trace it to her. Sure she could do that.

Once the barrier is destroyed she also thinks.. but maybe she'll live. she's a smart girl.. maybe this will put a fire under her...

but before she can think more the mud comes flowing and she escapes the scene.

Things play out with the mudslide into the camp flowing into the apprentice den and nursery. To benevolantlight's death.

Tranquilstorm feels terrible guilt, she'd hadnt meant for the warrior to get caught in the slide. NO! what was she saying this was perfect, benevolantlight was Prismstars daughter! that was even better than Agonypaw's death!

so why couldn't she stop feeling bad?

everything moves on, then Humidfur and Aweshine are made warriors. And she watches Agonypaw run off during the ceremony hardly able to stay to the end.

She goes to listen to Agonypaw, and of all the places she was, the spot they found Bittertounges body, right next to the grove where her trap layed. She could do it, right here.

But instead Agonypaw starts to pour her heart out to her mentor

How she’s so sorry that tranquilstorm has to be her mentor, how she feels like his disappointed everyone even her who never saw her as just prismstars decendent. How even though tranquilstorm recommended her as a warrior that she got her test early she failed so bad she was pushed back from being a warrior for longer than she would have been originally.

Tranquilstorms heart breaks listening to her she knew all these things but in the face of it, she could really see agonypaw's fears. With her own cousins doing so much better than her and even one of them being named after prismstar. She was at her lowest and this was the perfect time to execute her plan.

Convince her of a monster out in the marsh, give her a quest she couldnt turn away from to prove herself some epic warrior worthy of her family name, surely to only become food for the turtle with a huge apatite.

But she holds back her words of this made up stories, but insteed tells agonypaw the day agonypaw was made her apprentice her life changed. She had a new goal in life. Agonypaw being her apprentice has been the best moons of her life. And that she knows she will one day make a great warrior weather or not she is prismstars blood.

the two walk home when Tranquilstorm spots Rooster sitting on the banks of their river feasting on a fish. her blood runs cold as she cashes the alley cat away, with the smallest look to each other as tranquilstorm looks at him in horror that he would show up in broad daylight to agonypaw, and Rooster looking to her knowing she was protecting Agonypaw.

agonypaw questions if that was one of the rouges thats been coming into their territory and hurt their clanmates

Tranquilstorm knows its not true, because she's the monster.

She stops and looks to agonypaw and begins to feed her a story of a monster in the woods. Telling her not to tell anyone or she would put them in danger. More like she'd get Tranquilstorm in trouble.

Then watched Agonypaw pad away, mind full of foolish thoughts that a cat with a dream to be a hero would have.

A stone caught in her throat Tranquilstorm cant look at her apprentice for the rest of the evening.

That next early morning she is awake, hardly able to sleep. She lays in the warriors den, watching the rain come down. She watches agonypaw get up and leave out the apprentice den.

behind tranquilstorm she hears and peeks to see aweshine roll over and peek an eye open at tranquilstorm. Aweshine and humidfur had come in the warrior den a short while ago

Tranquilstorm gets up to follow her apprentice out into the marshes. Mind racing with memories of her time spent the last moons with her apprentice.

From finally getting an apprentice that would allow her to get her old grudge settled. To silencing Bittertounge. To the accidental Death of Benevolancelight. To the moments of vulnerability her apprentice showed her, she trust she was given.

tranquilstorm finds agonypaw and follows from a distance, watching her work to find a scent and hid from patrols. Tranquilstorm can't help but feel a bit of pride watching her use all the skills she' learned. Before she thinks of Rooster's words and calling her soft.

Its true she put off the plan longer than she originally thought but it was just to make what was to come to much sweeter... right?

tranquilstorm tells herself these excuses and for a moment thinks of her sister daisytoe. She shakes off the thought. That didn't matter her sister's righteousness can flood her brain all she wants but this was tranquilstorms decision.

Its then that from the fog Agonypaw's name is called. aweshine and humidfur wander into the clearing where agonypaw was mer moments ago, before running off to a hiding place.

The two stand just under the perched Tranquilstorm the speak worried of agonypaw and begin to talk that they hope tranquilstorm hasn’t gotten her yet. If everything Eveningpaw told them was true then Agonypaw was in danger.

the older warrior watches shocked at the siblings, understanding they knew parts of her plan. She would just have to feed them to the turtle too, she could that no problem.

tranquilstorm watches the two siblings talk and suddenly thinks of herself and her own sister when they were apprentices. She shakes away the thoughts, now was not the time to reminisces. She was letting her emotions get mixed up.

Humidfur and Aweshine mention getting deckerpaws help and hurry off.

Tranquilstorm again thinks.. Would Daisy even look at her like a sister after this? Tranquilstorm tries to brush off the doubt. It was too late now and things were moving foward. Daisynose was dead and tranquilstorm was going to do things her way

She watches agonypaw begins to leap from rock to rock making her way out into the deep marsh. With any chance she might fall into the mud and sink like prismstar did.

tranquilstorm takes a route of rotting logs and thin trees to leap and climb to and from just barely able to see agonypaw in the distance.

tranquilstorm manages to make it to the destination. On a branch just in view of the large rock that agonypaw now was attempting to swim to. the end was soon. Tranquilstorm new soon it was over, it could be over and she could move on from this.

agonypaw slows and slows. She isnt going to make it to the rock

tranquilstorms watches agonypaw sink and struggle, tranquilstorm vision flickers and she is seeing prismstar all those moons ago struggling in the mud. Her breath quicks as her chest tightens.

her vision changes from prismstar and to daisynose, tranquilstorms heart aches at the thought and delusion of her sister struggling.

then it changes again, its agonypaw. Shes just watching agonypaw who can barely get a paw above the mud anymore. tranquilstorm feels her blood roar in her ears and feels her paw pads feel like static as they twitch ready to move, to jump in after her.

tranquilstorm is surprised when instead she sees three bodies leap out to agonypaw

humidfur, aweshine and another apprentice, deckerpaw, are dragging agonypaw to the rock all together

tranquilstorm feels herself wanting to yell out and tell them to move but she chokes, for the rock is not a rock but the beast itself. A false safe harbor.

what is she doing, shes so close she can’t back out now. And now she has all three of prismstars young kin. She should be happy she has worked hard for this moment of revenge.

she looks at agonypaw, this young cat who has trusted her, and loved her. Tranquilstorm has felt so alone since her sister died, she has isolated herself. What a fool she was to just now realize agonypaw was her friend. And she almost hurt her only friend.

Almost.

The rock begins to shake and move and revels the reptile beneath the mud.

humidfur and deckerpaw manage to stay on the turtle's back but aweshine slides off its side and agonypaw unlucky slides right in front of it.

tranquilstorm measures up that as big as this beast she raised was agonypaws head could get snapped off in a heartbeat in the reptiles large jaws

tranquilstorm watches on, scared witless not knowing what to do as she can no longer go through with her plan. She can't if she let Agonypaw die it would be like watching Daisynose die all over again. She wouldnt let that happen

What should she do what should she-

Her thoughts stop as Agonypaw looks up into the trees and blue eyes met her, full of confusion as she searched Tranquilstorms face

and Tranquilstorm look at her, She saw Agonypaw. Not Prismstars kin, not her Daisynose replacement, but Agonypaw.

the two look at each other cold and silent for a long second.

its now or never

tranquilstorm pushes of her hindlegs from the branch. She hears the fall of rain as she makes the long gap from her branch into the mud were agonypaw was, shielding her from the snapping turtle as it lunges its head forward and chomps down on tranquilstorms tail.

tranquilstorm body fills with pain, her tail feels on fire as she hears loud crunches of her bones as she instinctively presses all of her claws into the face of the monster.

Tranquilstorm manages to choke through the pain to tell Agonypaw she was sorry. If she died her she needed her apprentice know she felt nothing but regret.

agonypaw looks up at tranquilstorm who tries to hold herself still and shaky. Her apprentice searches her eyes. the other three apprentices begin to try to open the turtles powerful jaws with no dice

ts then that tranquilstorms blotted vision notices a group of cats coming up. revelstar, mutestar bogshadow, jocundbounce,algeasnout, sorrowcloud, brashtounge and moldpelt all led be eveningpaw of loyalclan.

tranquilstorm through her ringin ears listens to the loud chatter of many cats

eveningpaw rattles on with how worried she was for her friends

deckerpaw continuously asking is aweshine was ok

and algeasnout was already doing what she could for tranquilstorms tail as tranquilstorm was carried loosly on the large back of revelstar

tranquilstorms closes her eye and zeros in on listening for agonypaw only to find she isnt talking.

tranquilstorm tells agonypaw she’s sorry again before resting her eyes the world quiets as the rain finally stops

Agonypaw would finish training under Revelstar and get her Warrior name Agonyheart.

Agonyheart would attempt to talk to Tranquilstorm once in awhile but she could never look her in the eyes.

She would probably eventually leave the clans. Maybe to join the ally cats or just wander off into the woods far far away from the clans, never to bother Agonypaw again

While we're on the subject, how about: Mintkit, Stirkit, Hornetkit, Sweetkit, Dripkit, Woolkit, Railkit, Tenderkit, Bitterkit and Elatekit? I just wanna know like.... their warrior names or sm. Same with the apprentices. Sorry if it's a lot :(

another ask beat you to the kits literally just a moment ago lol

SO! ill make this post about the apprentices! always fun to talk about them! :)) or at the very least ill make it about the Gloryclan apprentices for this post, just because i fear the post would get crazy long if i did them all

and this bout to be a no holds barred since iv accepted ill never write out all my wc oc plot like i wanted to so im bout to fuckin deep dive especially on the main characters

starting with my wc ocs main character, Agonypaw. She shares her stories plot with Eveningpaw and Deckerpaw but she is the main main character of the three for sure.

Agonypaw is the granddaughter of the late leader of Gloryclan, Prismstar. A nobel and beloved leader that the clans treasured and still talk of to this day. Agonypaw's mother was an amazing warrior that they share stories of even now. Agonypaw has big shoes to fill and it kinda ways on her. She plagued with dreams of not being good enough to be apart of her family.

(REST UNDER THE CUT BECAUSE THIS ENDED UP TAKING WAY LONGER THAN EXCEPTED LOL THIS REALLY IS MOSTLY JUST AGONYPAW AND HER COUSINS BUT ONLY THROUGH AGONYPAWS POVE IN THEIR STORY AND ITS A LOT OOPS)

Then she meets Tranquilstorm, a warrior who is nearly a loner to their clanmates. She works alone, eats alone and fights alone. She doesn't speak to others and only put in enough work to warrant her place in the clan and never more.

Agonykit could put her paw on it but something about Tranquilstorm called to her and she begins doing everything in her power to get this senior warrior to notice her. And it goes poorly, Tranquilstorm barely gives her the time of day, until out of no where Tranquilstorm begins speaking to her, and not much longer after its announced Tranquilstorm was to be Agonypaw's mentor.

Agonypaw works hard to be a good apprentice for Tranquilstorm, struggling with some eye issues that runs in her family with members going blind rather young. When Agonypaw expresses to Tranquilstorm how she feels inadequate both as her apprentice and as Prismstars granddaughter, Tranquilstorm straight up tells her not to be concerned about that, that thinking she needed to be like prismstar was nonsense and that she needed to be her own cat. It seems like such a simple thing to say but it meant so much to agonypaw to hear.

A few moons into her apprenticeship and Agonypaw begins to work beside her cousins and realizes how far behind she is to them between Awepaw who has no interest in working hard and humidpaw who was a big klutz, she was no where near their level. During hunts they catch way more than her and during training they beat her easily and she ends up accidently putting a cut in Humidpaw's ear. Which she feels bad about but Awepaw assures her that these things happen. Which makes Tranquilstorm act weird and tell Awepaw to not accept forgiveness for Humidpaw.

Many of their clanmates start commenting on how well Humid and Awe are coming along and how prismstar would have been so proud, often forgetting to include agonypaw in on these comments or lumping her in with pity.

Tranquil tries to reassure her that she doesnt need to compare herself to her cousins and that she's growing at her own rate. Agonypaw tries to take in these words but is finding it harder to accept her own progress

Bittertounge, recent parent to his first litter and mentor to Humidpaw is found dead deep in the marshes. Found by Humidpaw, Awepaw and Sorrowcloud. the cats raise suspicious on what happened as Bittertounge didnt smell of any predators and they could take from the body was that it was probably killed by another cat. Agonypaw finds Bogshadow in the medicine cats den with Tranquilstorm. Tranquilstorm was there for twisting their paw while Bogshadow was there with a bloody paw pad.

The cats are on high alert for the next month as they have no idea if this was a rouge cat, another clans member or even one of their own.

Agonypaw is helping out Coastdance, who many made comments how she didnt even seem sad about the lose of her mate.

During this clean up Coastdane begins to reminisce , saying Bittertounge was the last apprentice Prismstar had before passing away, and that "Funny enough" where they found Bittertounges body was where Prismstar lost his final life. Coastdance claims she's been trying to be strong for their kits and has a small breaks down over the lose of her husband before collecting herself and thanking Agonypaw for listening to her. Before she leaves she mentions that she new Prismstar pretty well before he passed, and that Agonypaw shouldn't worry about how far behind she might feel about her training because she reminded Coastdance of Prismstar just as much as her cousins.

Agonypaw and Tranquilstorm later patrol not far from where bittertounge was found dead, to try and see if theres any trace of the killer around. Agonypaw mentions what Coastdance said and says she still worries if she's living up to the image everyone has of her or if she'll just end up the failure of the gene pool.

Tranquilstorm once again tells her that she shouldn't want to be like prismstar, that even prismstar made mistakes, and wasnt a perfect cat. He even made enemies in his time and that their clan idolized him to a fault at times. And that no matter what they think of her, she should see herself as herself, not prismstars granddaughter. and that "no matter who you end up being ill will watch you"

in this moment Agonypaw sits close to Tranquilstorm in this foggy clearing looking out over the deep thick mud that claimed multiple lives and just thinks about how lucky she is to have Tranquilstorm by her side.

Not long after Awepaw and Humidpaw have been taken on a trip to the Cluster, and on their return Gloryclan leader Revelstar tells them that the three of them will take their warrior assessment in a few days. this comes to a surprise of agonypaw who knows her cousins have been apprenticesa little longer than her and that she didn’t know she was so close to being made a warrior. revelstar claims that tranquilstorm personally said she thought agonypaw was ready, and revelstar mummers that it was the best as they need as many warriors as they can get now

The morning of the assesement Revelstar, Bogshadow and Tranquilstorm join togeather to watch over the apprentices. Agonypaw feels uneasy around Bogshadow remembering how he was in the Healers Pit the day Bittertounge died.

Agonypaw none the less works through her assessment trying hard to not mess it up. Doing relatively well, but a bit stiff knowing she was being watched. It all goes down hill however when she goes in to fish out of a crab hole like she had been taught, only to be greeted by a snake that launches out and sinks its fangs into her face.

Its a swirl of panic as the snake attacks, the last thing she's see's before falling unconscious is the bits of half eaten shellfish around the snakes den and Tranquilstorm rushing to her side.

a bit of a skip later, Agonypaw is stuck in the medicine cat's den as they keep a look out for the infection on her left eye. She has lost the eye to the snake bite and her ruined her assessment. Agonypaw ask what this all meant for her. Tranquilstorm is honest and says she isnt sure, knowing that at the least her becoming a warrior would be put off for awhile. Agonypaw quivers is a fit of sadness in her nest, tranquilstorm twitches a bit before hesitantly laying next to agonypaw where their pelts touch

A storm arrives a few nights later, and another tragedy strikes as one of the barriers around the camp fails and water floods the camp, bringing in lose wet mud into the dens of the camp. The mud flows into the nursery and Medicine cats den. Agonypaw is guided out by the medicine cats who watch in horror as Surlytusk pushes out of the nursery with her kit and one of melancholyspots. Melancholyspot, still stuck inside with her other kit yells for help, answered immediately by Awepaw and Humidpaw. Agonypaw is frozen in fear as her cousins tread through the mud to the nursing cat. Bogshadow and Benevolancelight begin to try to push and block more mud from entering the nursery.

In a flash the two apprentices rush out the kit and parent. Things seem well until the mud pushes Benevolancelight under and their crushed by the mud.

It was too late for the warrior as she was lost to the mudslide.

When the rain finally stopped and everyone was safe, they try to help clean up the medicine cats den and nursery. They also dig up the warriors body to hold their vigil.

Humidpaw and Awepaw have lost their mother and are in shambles. And other older warriors work to reinstall the barrier meant to keep the water and mud flow away from camp, questioning how this could have happened. Questioning if it could also be whoever took out bittertounge.

A few shot days later to give the cats time to grieve, Revelstar holds a small ceremony to not only celebrate the life of Benevolence star but to give her kits their warrior names in her honor as well as for the bravery they showed during the mud slide. Humidfur and Aweshine, Aweshine being named after Prismstars warrior name, Prismshine.

agonypaw is watching this all happen as if its so slow and yet so fast. Everything was just happening as she stood here in the rain listening to everyone call out her cousins new names. agonypaw begins to back away from everyone, her mind racing.awe was named after their grandfather, this whole time everyone has been looking at Aweshine as the prodigal child and not agonypaw, even though she worked so hard she fell so far behind and she had been so full of herself this whole time for nothing.

agonypaw leaves camp and walked out into the marsh turning to a full sprint until she is at the edge of their territory and at the bank of the swollen river. Looking down at her reflection, distorted by rain droplets. tranquilstorms reflection appears next to hers the swirl of a light storm cloud outlines her dark figure and two icy blue eyes look right at her, Tranquilstorm

Agonypaw speaks up, she is quickly shaking with emotions as she tells tranquilstorm how shes feels. How she’s so sorry that tranquilstorm has to be her mentor, how she feels like his disappointed everyone even her who never saw her as just prismstars decendent. How even though tranquilstorm recommended her as a warrior that she got her test early she failed so bad she was pushed back from being a warrior for longer than she would have been originally. Tranquilstorm having to put in so much last minute work to help her with her eye. How that when she heaerd awepaw-aweshine get her name. She heard that they gave her their leader prismstars old warrior name, prismshine. She realized then how much she has idolized herself. She thought everyone was looking at her as prismstars great granddaughter, pridebriars daughter, this chain in a line of great warriors. But no one was looking at her like that, not as much as they did awepaw. She was so self centered she didn’t even realize awepaw was doing so well to have this attention.

tranquilsstorm then tells agonypaw the day agonypaw was made her apprentice her life changed. She had a new goal in life. Agonypaw being her apprentice has been the best moons of her life. And that she knows she will one day make a great warrior weather or not she is prismstars blood.

On their way back to camp they find a loner by the banks of the river, and Tranquilstorm spooks him off. Agonypaw questions if they may have been the cat to do all the horrible things recently, shuddering at the thought. For awhile Tranquil doesn't reply, then she tells agonypaw that she doesn’t think there is an actual rouge problem in their territory. Tranquilstorm says that she thinks theres a beast in the woods, and that its whats been causing the problems. She claims to have overheard some honorclan cats talking about ally cats mentioning a beast named ‘Grendel’ that has chosen to curse their home.

Agonypaw vaugely knows the Name Grendel as the name of the beast that hunted their marshes long ago, and their first leader Glorystar fought.

agonypaw ask why she hasnt told revelstar. Tranquilstorm tells her that she overheard it at the last gathering and has been afraid of telling revelstar. Perhaps she may sound crazy, or revelstar would attack the creature and get hurt. And for all she knows its just a rumor and doesn’t want cats to get worked up during this rain and flood

That night Agonypaw rolls in her nest thinking of this horrible shadow beast that plague their woods. She wants to tell someone, to try and help them understand and fix the problem, but thinks to how Tranquilstorm made her promise not to tell anyone.

however agonypaw mulls over the thoughts in her head and concludes. She wouldn’t break tranquilstorms promise and couldn’t keep her clan safe if she drove out the beast. She could prove herself worthy of everyones gaze. She will get their approval. agonypaw decides she is willing to do or die for her clan. She would die trying to become something great before she lived her life a failure. agonypaw rest for the night, her mind made up. Shes hunting the beast.

By morning she has snuck out of camp to track the beast alone. Agonypaw almost runs into a patrol but hides from them, watching the sleepy morning patrol go by. she doesn’t want to get caught or get anyone involved in her quest, and once the patrol goes by the continues her search

she swears the rain and wind is worse than it has the passt few days, she hears a rumble of thunder. just her luck, the sound of rain sounds like paw steps as the heavy drops hit the forest

agonypaw believes she hears something in the short distance and feels eyes on her, from deep in the marshes where her clanmates have died in the past, where they were forbidden to go as the mud was too deep and thick for even the strongest warriors.

As her mind focuses into the muddy and foggy grove, she hears her name suddenly. Aweshine and Humidfur, their out here in the rain calling for her. They sound worried. the two stop at the edge of the territory, agonypaw cant hear them over the rain, they sound upset. their saying something about her and it makes her want to come out and tell them she’s ok, its ok shes right here. To ask for their help, but she remembers tranquilstorms words, not to tell anyone because she didn’t want anyone to get hurt. And if she let aweshine help no one would ever look at her, only aweshine

The two warriors give up calling for agonypaw, are quiet for a moment before they mutter something agonypaw cannot understand and seem to run off back into the forest. But not they dont seem to head homeward.

she comes out of hiding, she looks to the deep dark swampy part of their territory. Very little safe places to step, a wrong move and you’ll be up to your snout in mud.

its then that she notices a bubble pop on the surface of the ground and reveals what appears to be a half eaten piece of prey, a fish. Those can’t be found around here. Something brought it here. she notices there large claw marks on a log that sits in the mud ahead. the beast is out there, and she going to have to go after it

Agonypaw takes a leap of fate, landing clumsily onto a wet rock sticking out of the mud. Then to the next rock, then another long leap to the truck of a small tree, and up into its branches. Lunging from one tree to the next, eyes on the ground looking for her prey.

the she notices claw marks, smaller in the branches where she was. Small broken branches. Someone had been up here. agonypaw in a bit of horror questions if this had been were bittertounge had been a few moons ago before he died. Had Bittertounge attempted the same thing agonypaw was right now, was his fate to be share with her?

agonypaw shake off the thought and continues off trying to not be caught out here when the sun set. She reaches the end of the trees she can reach and sees far below is a large smooth rock. She just needs to get to the rock then she can keep going. Stepping to the mud, working with all her might to stay above, to not sink down, unable to find a bottom in the dark sludge.

she continues to drags herself but grows more and more tired and the rock still seems to far away as she struggles to keep moving

she starst to yell out loud that she WONT be her grandfather,she wont die here, she going to be someone great, but on her own terms. She wont waste into another nobody after tranquilstorm worked so hard, She'll stand strong as her own warrior. She isnt prismstar.

suddenly she feels someting grab her neck, she feels panicked for a moment as the three mouths grab onto her but is too tired to fight back and in a flash theres solid ground under her.

She catches her breath and sees Humidfur, Aweshine and a Honorclan apprentice Deckerpaw panting beside her, covered up to their necks in mud.

once aweshine catches her breath she begins to lick mud off agonypaws face and start cursing the stars that she was worried sick about her. agonypaw is suprised by the grim toms worried tone, Aweshine was never one for emotions yet here she was, the most scared she had ever seen her.

aweshine and humidfur press agonypaw for what in the world she was doing out here in the rain. She could have gotten herself hurt. agonypaw doesnt know how to answer until she relizes she does, she’s know what to say for a long time and just hasnt

agonypaw tells aweshine flat out that she was jealous of aweshine, and afraid of how everyone would look at her if she failed as a warrior. And after she lost her eye and her chance at being a warrior it only got worse. She wanted to be someone who could proudly be called prismstars kin, but then she relized she didn’t really want that.she did, at first. But now she just wants to be a warrior,a nd make everyone proud, especially tranquilstorm

Aweshine freeze as the mention of Agonypaw mentor's name.she looks around and questions where tranquilstorm is. agonypaw questions why aweshine thinks tranquilstorm would be here but is interrupted as the rock under them begins to rise and shake revealing to the the large back of a turtle bigger than any of the gloryclan warriors. This was a monster they stood upon.

The four cats begin to slide at the movement of the beast under them. Three of them falling to the back end of the turtle, Aweshine crushed until the back leg and shell. while agonypaw falls to the front right into the mud, right under the turtles killing maw.

Agonypaw struggles to get away from the turtles powerful snap, its then that she sees her mentor, Tranquilstorm perched safely in a tree above them watching.

every thought races through Agonypaws mind as she tries to understand what was happening and how she would get away from the beast.

But the thoughts dont last long as Tranquilstorm launches from her branch, claws outstretched to meet the beast. As the turtle snaps down it takes Tranquilstorms tail into its mouth and the loud crunch is heard. Tranquilstorm none the less holds onto the monsters face for dear life as the younger apprentices and warriors crawl to smaller rocks or to the base of the trees.

Tranquilstorm tells Agonypaw she's sorry as agonypaw is frozen in place in the mud. Agonypaw can only search her mentors eyes for something.

It isnt much longer before a patrol of cats appear

revelstar, mutestar bogshadow, jocundbounce,algeasnout, sorrowcloud, brashtounge and moldpelt all led be eveningpaw of loyalclan.

the group helps the apprentices with the turtle. Managing to get it to open its mouth and let go of tranquilstorm. the group hurries away from the turtle and helps the tired apprentices and tranquilstorm back to camp. the older warriors mutter more quietly, many words of tranquilstorms name was thrown around as they led everyone back to camp.

Agonypaw doesn't know what to feel but stays by Tranquilstorms side as they work on her tail, just as her mentor did when she lost her eye.

Tranquilstorm tells agonypaw shes sorry once more before falling asleep in the medicine cats den.

The sound of rain comes to pass.

Its some time later, Agonypaw is at her warrior's ceremony, she is named Agonyheart.

Tranquilstorm is still in Camp but basically a prisoner. her and Agonypaw's relationship is wobbly since it was outed that Tranquilstorm not only tried to get agonyheart killed, but was also responsible for the deaths of Benevolancelight and Bittertounge.

this is about where the story of Agonypaw would end. Ambiguous to how Agony feels after everything that happened and if she can fully forgive her mentor. But her heart is kind and she loved her like family too much its hard to fully hate her.

Tranquilstorm would come to be allowed to resume warrior duties but only under diligent watch other trusted warriors. Probably would up and leave due to guilt and other aspects, just disappear into the night not to be heard from again, only leaving with one last sorry and goodbye to her last and only apprentice who changed her heart forever.
