─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
in the heart of snowclan's camp, beneath the towering canopy of trees, brokenstar, the clan's leader, presided over the evening gathering. cats of all ages, from a tiny kit to wise older warriors, gathered around her. but what truly commanded brokenstar's attention, and what she valued above all else, was the unity of her clan.
to her, snowclan was not just a collection of cats; it was a family, bound together by the unbreakable bonds of kinship and shared purpose. as she observed the gathering, her eyes gleamed with pride and affection for each of her clanmates.
every pawstep that had brought them to this moment, every shared meal, every battle fought side by side, and every purr of contentment in their camp added to the tapestry of snowclan's unity. she cherished the history they had created together, a history written in the pawsteps of countless cats who had come before them.
brokenstar's own life had been intertwined with the clan's story. she remembered her days as a kit, chasing shadows in the nursery, her apprenticeship filled with lessons from the wise elders, and her rise through the ranks to become leader. every moment had contributed to her unwavering devotion to her clan.
as she addressed the gathering, her words were not just instructions; they were a testament to the unbreakable bond that held snowclan together. she spoke of loyalty, not as an obligation, but as a gift freely given to family. she emphasized the importance of looking out for one another, not just in times of peril but in the everyday moments of clan life.
brokenstar encouraged clanmates to share their skills and knowledge, to support one another, and to celebrate each other's successes as if they were their own. her deep belief in the strength of their unity was palpable, and it resonated with every cat gathered around her.
in the eyes of the clan, brokenstar was not just their leader; she was the living embodiment of snowclan's values. her commitment to their unity was unwavering, and it served as a guiding light, inspiring each cat to do their part in preserving the harmony and strength of their clan.
as the evening gathering came to a close, brokenstar watched her clanmates disperse, each cat carrying with them the warmth and glee of their shared bond. she knew that as long as they stood united, snowclan would continue to thrive, their unity a testament to the enduring spirit of warrior cats who faced the challenges of their world together.

❄ ── QUEST THREE─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
what is something one of your cats is jealous of?
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
softpelt, the gentle and compassionate medicine cat of snowclan, was known throughout the clan for her unwavering dedication to her duties and her healing touch. she was highly respected and loved by her clanmates, who often sought her counsel and solace in times of need. yet, hidden beneath her serene exterior, softpelt harbored a jealousy she had never shared with anyone.
what softpelt envied most was the freedom to roam beyond the boundaries of snowclan's territory, to wander the vast wilderness, and explore the mysteries of the forest. she watched with a pang of envy as young warriors embarked on their first patrols, their eyes filled with anticipation and curiosity.
for softpelt, her role as a medicine cat confined her to the camp and its immediate surroundings. while she cherished her connection to starclan and her ability to heal, she longed to experience the thrill of the hunt, the satisfaction of a successful catch, and the exhilaration of exploring the untamed world beyond.
in the quiet moments of the night, when the moon bathed the camp in silver light, softpelt would gaze out at the shadowy expanse of the forest and yearn for the adventures she would never have. she imagined herself as a warrior, leaping gracefully through the undergrowth, feeling the thrill of the wind in her fur as she pursued her prey.
her deepest desire was to witness the breathtaking views from the great oak, to climb its branches and bask in the beauty of their territory. softpelt had never revealed this yearning to anyone, not even her closest confidant, brokenstar, the clan leader.
instead, she focused her energy on her duties, channeling her jealousy into providing the best care she could for her clanmates. she knew that her role was essential, and she had a deep love for the cats she healed. softpelt's dedication and kindness were her way of making peace with the longing that tugged at her heart.
softpelt's hidden jealousy remained her secret, locked away in the depths of her soul. she had chosen her path as a medicine cat, and she would honor it with every ounce of her being. yet, in the quietest hours of the night, when the world was still and her dreams ran free, she allowed herself to wander the forest in her mind, if only for a little while.
