One year has past. A whole year since Hazelight last seen her beloved mate, Thrushflight. Before the flood had happen, he had went out on a hunting patrol while she stayed back in camp taking care of their kits, thinking he would come back soon,she never expected her last time seeing was of him leaving to hunt down prey for their clan. When the flood happen, she and a few warriors got her kits to safety, after that, she went in search for Thrushflight, only to end up with nothing. Broken she left with the other clans, and her kits, when they found their new home, her kits were made apprentices, as their life in their new home went on, her kits died off one by one, leaving only 2 left, Splitpaw and Spottedpaw.

Sighing, the she-cat warrior rose to her paws and left camp. Hazelight did this often, she took walks right as the moon was rising into the sky, for some odd reason, she kept her search up for her lost mate. She never gave up hope on Thrushflight returning to her, she ignored what the others say about him being in Starclan now, she never wanted to think that. She did spent her free time with her kits, she found out her daughter, Splitpaw, was much like her aunt Wolfsong, Splitpaw was into she-cats, and Hazelight didn't mind at all. As for her son, he was turning to a fine warrior, much like his father, she was very proud of him, he would end up being a great warrior of Stoneclan one day.

He was... so tired. Despite wanting to seem strong he found himself leaning on Darksun, even if the younger tom was scarred from all that happened far mroe than he. Like his father Spiderstar Darksun was one tough cat. He had gone through a lot, they both had in their adventure together... Thrushflight knew neither of them would be here had they been ending up in the flood aftermath's alone. Both swept down stream, they had ended up on some foreign shore line not far from one another. Within a sun rotation they had found each other and began the search for home together.

But it was the memory of her that had kept Thrushflight going. Despite everything, it was her smile that he thought of as things had gotten dark along their journey. She was everything to him, and so he knew in his heart that if she had died he would have felt it and died also... so he knew Starclan watched over them and he knew she must still be alive. As for their children- he prayed for them every night. He begged to Starclan they had lived and that he had not left Hazellight completely alone.

Hazellight...

it was the first thought that came to him as the scent of cats hit him strong- and Darksun echoed his thoughts. The two where practically in sync, and Thrushflight considered Darksun the son he had never gotten to raise.

"Scent markers- we better stay alert." the dark patched tom meowed under a hushed breath. Yes, they had long since stopped thinking they had hit the clans just yet. How many cat territories had they gone through? Each unique, and some they left well fed and others they left battered and bruised, barely what any cat could call alive.

Yes- but he must be hurting more than eh thought, because he caught her scent. it was something he was familiar with now, and so he stopped and Darksun stopped with him. He only caught that beautiful, sweet honey smell when he was close to death...

"Darksun- He breathed, falling to the ground and Darksun was immediately examining him.

Get up Thrushflight, your no worse off than normal. We can't give up now." His friend spoke and Thrushflight smiled, laughing been if it came with coughing now.

"ah yes, but I must be I smell her." He said, and Darksun looked at him with surprise, sniffing the air. What a good tom, a fine tom indeed to play this dying cat's fantasies out. Thrushflight knew there was no true Hazellight scent, but to see Darksun search for it among the breeze was comforting regardless- until his comrade stiffened.

"HAZELLIGHT!" It was Darksun who yowled out her name, even if the mottled tom did not know her. Through first scents on Thrushflight and tales along the way the dark tom was going on a gamble but-

but had he been crazy to think he caught the same scent?

good-within-u said the following:

As the golden she-cat walked, she thought of her past, how she first met Thrushflight as an apprentice, she was shy and scared, but after spending more time with him, he brought out a knew side of her. She remembered his rejection of her love, how she felt heart broken that she turned to his sister, Wolfsong, thinking about her small crush on the she-cat she sighed. "Things could have been different if I never said I held a crush on her...she wouldn't have gotten hurt as much as she did..." shaking her head, the full grown warrior pause in her walking. Looking up to the night sky, her different colored eyes gazed upon the shining stars. "My Thrushflight....where are you....I need you so much...I miss you....the kits miss you...Spottedpaw works so hard to become a great warrior like you...and Splitpaw needs her father's love to help her through her love for she-cats, i try to give her encouraging words but i have fail...oh my Thrush...come back to me" she sniffed, her eyes filled with tears.

Flatting her ears, she turned to make her way back to camp when she heard a faint yowl "HAZELIGHT!!" her ears picked up, she looked around "H-hello?" she called out. Not sure if it was just in her head or not, she decided to check it out, tasting the air she tried picking up any scent. Closing her eyes, she focus only on the smells around her, after a few minuets she was about to get up when the wind picked up. It was then she caught it, Hisscent, her eyes snapped open, her hurt fluttered, looking around she found where the scent was coming from.

Thrushflight!

She ran as fast as she could, only stopping to find where the scent was, just to make sure she was going in the right direction.

Thrushflight!!

Her body was more built since a year ago, she also had a scar that covered most of her left shoulder going down under her left front leg.

Thrushflight!

The scent got stronger, and stronger, It's him! That's his scent!! Please Starclan! Please let it be him! She saw a few bushes in front of her. Pushing her legs to the limit she busted through.

"THRUSHFLIGHT!!"

----------
JustAGirlArtist said the following:

It was a miracle, he knew. As soon as the well built frame came bursting through teh tree's, Darksun felt such a huge wave of relief plow through his body like a wave through his viens. Collapsing with exhaustion at the idea of being home, that they made it, he looked up to her with a big smile.

" He's a little out of it." he said, his legs shaking as they held him in a more or less sitting position. Still, she was a Stoneclan warrior wasn't she? the only connection they knew of to his home. This may not even be home, if she was swept away as well. thrushflight, what a lucky arse, because looking now Darksun could see her just as Thrushfligth spoke of. She was indeed beautiful in a way that Thrushflight described so well, over and over.

"Hazellight..." Thrushflight breathed beside him, with so much love and adoration it left Darksun feeling a little hot in the cheeks at being here. Not that he wasn't happy to be reuniting the two, but perhaps he was the very interrupting third wheel?

"Just promise us you aren't Starclan." He said, half a joke.

----------
good-within-u said the following:

Hazelight breathed in air as she looked at the two toms, her eyes went from Darksun to the down Thrushflight. Her eyes filled up with Tears, "T-thrushflight?" She took a few paw steps towards them, but when he spoke she rushed to his side."Thrushflight!!" she cried as she brushed her head against his, her tears falling freely down her cheeks "It's you! It's really you! You're back!" she cried out. She couldn't believe it, her mate was back, she dreamed of this day since her first night sleeping without him besides her, she buried her nose into his side, taking in his scent, feeling warmth come off his body, it was truly him and not another one of her dreams.

She picked her up to look into his eyes, a big smile on her lips, "Thrush...I missed you so much" she rubbed at her eyes, trying to stop her tears from falling, looking to Darksun she couldn't help but smile more. "Darksun, right? You helped him get home, both of you, the clan thought you during the flood, Thank Starclan you're back home, Stoneclan will be so happy
". Looking back to Thrushflight she purred happily and licked his cheek, her eyes shined with love for the tom, he was back,"The kits! oh Thrushflight! wait till you see Splitpaw and Spottedpaw, they grown into fine cats"

----------
JustAGirlArtist said the following:

Thrushflight let his body ripple with the purr that came from his chest as Hazellight enveloped him in all her love. The scent of her, something he had never forgotten, was twice as sweet with the feel of her pelt against his and the sound of her voice making its way through his ears and into his heart. He was exhausted from his journey, and yet just seeing her right now he felt envigorated for the first time in moons.

"Hazellight.... " He breathed, his voice barely much more then a whisper, but it felt good just to say her name and know that finally she was able to hear it. We made it... Darksun and I." He siad. He was far to tired to make sure she hadn't already said something siilar, and saying it anyway still didn't make it perfectly easy to believe it either. Part of him still waited to be wrenched awake by Darksun as they had to fight for their lives again.

Turning his head slightly, he looked to the dark mottled tom. His eyes kind and sympathetic as he saw his comrade look a touch nervous. He knew what Darksun had struggled with before the flood had it- knew the tom had trouble feeling at home in a clan that had forgotten him, his father and where his father had probably forgotten him before he died as well. Though Thrushflight had only kept up admiration with Spiderstar, not in tune with the leaders drama, he did know after this journey that Darksun had felt casted away for him to have had babies with a she cat he actually liked so quickly after. yes, Thrushflight knew that now that they were home Darksun would have to battle his own inner demons to settle in- but Thrushflight was determined to help out. After all they had been through together, their bond would not be so easily separated.

"Well, I am sure our kits will love to see their older brother. Son of Spiderstar, I consider him my own son."
----------
good-within-u said the following:

Hazelight smiled as she listen to Thrushflight, ears twitching she turn to Darksun. She could just feel the bond the two had, just by looking at her, Darksun uh? chuckling she got up and walked over to Darksun. "If Thursh considers you his son, so will I, welcome to our small family" she hugged him and licked his forehead with much care as a mother would for her kit"my son". Once she Pulled away, she went to back Thrushflight "Let’s get you both home, the clan will be happy to have you both back". She put one of Thrushflight legs over her back, trying to get him on his legs or onto her back.

As she tried she finally got her mate onto her back "I forgot how heavy you where Thrushflight, but I can still carry you"she purred happily and she started to walk a bit. Ever since the flood happen, Hazelight had to carry her tired kits on her back as they made their way to find a new home, she still carried Splitpaw around when her daughter got hurt in training out in a battle. "Wait till you see our kits, they will be so happy to see you after all these moons, Splitpaw is a little trouble maker she is, and Spottedpaw, he's turning into a fine warrior " she kept walking, only to stop and make sure Thrushflight and Darksun where really there.

----------
JustAGirlArtist said the following:

Darksun, beside the two and doing his best to be of some help for Thrushflight as well, listened intently. He had to admit he was a little taken back by her easy acceptance of him. No one had shown him such honest warmth before, even if at once he had through everyone's kindness had been that. he had of course mistaken it and it had instead just been an attempt to get on the leaders good side- but still.

It was like she had no worries, like perhaps she was loving freely like someone who hadn't been uhrt... but even he could see that was not true.

"Ah, Splitpaw. Spottedpaw. I am glad they are doing so well- on my journey I didn't even dare ask Starclan that they'd all be fine for that seemed like me asking for to much." Thrushflight said, and Darksun found himself wondering if Hazellight was accepting because of Thrushflight being the accepting good hearted tom he was or if they were just really perfect for one another?

----------
good-within-u said the following:

As the three cats made their way through the territory, they finally came up to the camp entrance, Hazelight smiled and purred a bit "Where here" she looked to Darksun and gave hi a kind smile before entering the camp, as she did she sighed in relief as they were home, "Welcome home you two" she purred even more. Slowly, the she-cat warrior slid Thrushflight off her back and onto the ground, laying down besides him once he was safely on the ground.

"I'm so glad your home Thrushflight, you don't know how much I missed you" she nuzzled his neck fur, purring happily,"And Darksun, thank you so much for sticking by his side through it all, I'm glad you back home safe and sound as well"she smiled at the tom.

"mom! You're back!" a raspy female voice laughed out, Hazelight turned to see Splitpaw running to her, the brown tabby like she-cat was happy to see her mother back home, but she stopped in her tracks when she notice Thrushflight and Darksun. "Uh....hi?" she looked to the two toms then to her mother, "Mom...Whats going on?Who are they?" Splitpaw was know for not having very good eye vision in the dark, so she couldn't get a clear view on either tom.

"Splitpaw, sweetie, where's you brother? You and him need to meet someone very special" Hazelight lay her tail over her mates side, putting one of her paws over his. Bending her head down she gave Thrushflight a lick on his cheek "Thrushy, look, it's one of our daughters, she's almost all grown up" she whispered to him.

Splitpaw's ears puckered up when she heard her mother's words, she moved closer to her mother, and notice the tom "M-mom...w-who is this?"she whispered out, she had a strange feeling she should know this tom, but for the life of her, she couldn't remember why.
