Crowtooth
Windclan Deputy | He/him | 51 Moons

Power Card: Cold Gust

Leading the other tom out of camp Crowtooth forced himself to shift his usual lecture to a new audience, lining up the knowledge in his mind. After all, most of the cats he trained were kids and so he didnt talk to them the same as he talked to adults, but further they usually knew all about clan structure and life already so didnt need that lesson.

Cal was different. By the time they got to their first location however he had his thoughts in order.

Starry Meadow

An open grassland that lies on top of a hill. Thousands of flowers cover its surface, and while the travel may be rough - it is worth the sight of many stars. This is a place for sincerity and solemn. Windclan's fallen clanmates reside here where they can touch the stars.

Arriving in the meadow and sitting next to Bravebirds, his sisters, gravestone the deputy gestured for Cal to sit and explained. "This here is the Starry Meadow, windclans grave. As a clan member ya 'ave the honor ta be laid ta rest here when ya pass an' windclan members upkeep the graves an' protect them from critters diggin' them up.
Lotsa cats visit often ta talk ta their loved ones, I do come ta visit my lost sister Bravebird, and while we hunt an' herb collect here... Well we do it wit' respect.


I dunno who buries an' visits outsiders actually but we clan cats care a lot fer our dead....." The tom was kinda hesitant to bring this part of clan life up, wondering if Cal would think him crazy but it was important.


"This is 'cuz our dead talk ta us. When a clan cat dies they go ta starclan an' make up the stars an' silverpelt. They can visit cats, usually the medicine cats, in their dreams an' bestow gifts or prophecies ta help the clans. They also grant our leaders nine lives ta defend the clan wit', which is how Twilightstar has survived so much."

Windclans leader was more scar then pelt now adays and old enough to join the elders if she wished but still lived despite all odds, starclans blessing for her strong.


The tom knew it was a lot to take in so sat and let Cal ask what questions he needed to understand, happy to share.

" Not at all. I've heard much of your starry ancestors. It is quite common for outsiders to do the same. "
