Been sitting on this writing idea for a while, so I finally decided to write it down. As the sunset cast a golden glow through the trees, Willowtail padded towards the overhang looking out over the lake. It was her favorite spot to go when she wanted to sit and think- she'd loved it ever since Frostwhisper had shown it to her. Her sisters had seen it too, but she was the only one who still regularly came here. On this day, however, she caught a glimpse of silvery white through the trees. A patch of snow? The leaf-fall had been fairly mild- she didn't think it had snowed any time recently. As she got closer, though, she realized that it wasn't snow, but a white cat. A cat that was very unwelcome to her thinking spot. "Snowleaf." Her voice was flat. "What are you doing here?" "Ah, Willowtail!" he replied with clearly false cheerfulness. "I just came to enjoy an old favorite place of mine to sit and enjoy nature. It's quite beautiful, isn't it?" She didn't believe this for a second. "You come here too?" "Of course! I've been coming here for ages." Suddenly, his eyes widened. "Oh! Perhaps Frostwhisper never told you." He gestured around vaguely with his tail. "I was the one who first showed him this place. We used to be quite close, you know. And now he's shared it with you and the rest of your little family, hasn't he?" He smiled a tight smile. "How very... generous of him." Willowtail narrowed her eyes. She'd never been fond of Snowleaf- his strange, unsettling mannerisms had always put her on edge, and he didn't like her much, either. Even so, he was acting stranger than usual. What did he want? Snowleaf looked off into the distance, then flicked his gaze towards her for a moment. "I almost feel sorry for you, you know. After all, you have to know that you weren't born out of a loving partnership, don't you? No... it was all because your dear father felt the need to forge new connections just to prove he didn't need his old ones anymore. And it didn't even work!" He scoffed. "He even named you after your long-dead auntie, the one he failed to protect. As if you were the second chance at a life he refuses to admit he misses. And all the while, his conniving little mate took advantage and let him do it, just so she could get what she wanted." Her fur was beginning to stand on end. "What are you getting at, Snowleaf?" she demanded. "Did you come here just to make baseless and delusional claims about my parents, or do you want something out of me?" "What I'm getting at, Willowtail," Snowleaf replied as he turned towards her, a hard edge in his voice, "is that you should never have been born. And for the sake of someone I care about, I intend to right that wrong." Willowtail's heart dropped. He wanted to murder her. She sprang away, running as fast as she could. But so did he. She tried to run faster, desperately hoping to find some place she'd be safe from him. But Snowleaf was known in the Clan for being a good hunter, and she was beginning to feel sickeningly like prey. She saw the cliffs over the lake flash beside her, and dimly, she realized he was trying to close off any escape. As she tried desperately to think of a way to get out, he turned suddenly and rammed into her side, throwing her off-balance. He clawed at her face, and half blinded, she stumbled and fell, unable to gain any purchase on the cliff in time. The world flashed around her, gold and amber and brown. And the last thing she felt was the slam of the cold, shallow lake water against her body, hard as a solid surface.
14:41 Fawnshock wasn't a murderer. She just absolutely despised Frostwhisper, so we were really worried she was going to outright kill him one day. Honestly, it kinda makes me respect her a lot. She hated him for ages, but she didn't just go straight to violence like... *ahem* some of her Clanmates I could mention. She still kept some sense of morality, and I think she very much deserves to stay in StarClan for that.
Since Snowleaf made it look like an accident, the only option is to wait around until he confesses of his own accord or is found out but that can take moons.
Snowleeeeeeeeaf! Noooooo! I believed in you! Anyway, I like to think Ravensong getting over their grief just when Frostwhisper had a new reason to grieve himself is because Ravensong rallied to be there for their brother. 30:11 Yandere Snowleaf??? Oooh, Yarrowstar already doesn't like Frostwhisper, imagine if they found out their mate was obsessed with him on top of that... Would they be more betrayed by Snowleaf or take it out on Frostwhisper?
Honestly? That's a great question. I'm not sure yet if Yarrowstar would be corrupted by his love for his mate or if he would do what was right even for a cat he hated. Lyrerush is still his sister so he may make a hard decision for her sake too. It really depends how everything gets found out I think And I didn't think about that! We were there for Ravensongs grief and now he is there for ours 😭

Will yarrowstar actually exile snowleaf?
Was the “That’s the real moral of the story” at 16:23 meant to be a pun? Cause it’s MORELswirl lol.
Snowleaf dislike Lyrerush too... maybe it's deep down unknown jealousy?
At least not noticed. Definitely feels like there could be something there
42:43 Swanthroat was crushing on Tinystripe a bit!
Ooh I missed it!
No! D:
It had to be our eldest, the one named after Willowdeer as well! D:
A strike to Frostwhisper!
Don’t give prey to cats outside the Clan!
We have been friendly as a whole but not like that >.>
Don’t worry, long episodes are great!
Yay, more long episode!
I love long eps! And snowleaf… damn…
Snowleaf, how could you?!
AAHH I haven’t watched yet but I’m scared already!!
is life gen the same thing as clan gen?
It's a mod, so you get a dedicated main character and you can make decisions arounf them. It grants a lot more power for an individuals fate :)
@FrostyLass woah I'll have to try it out
Why snowleaf?!
Snowleaf no why!?
