Darksand let go of Silverwater. "Let's go," he meowed to Splashingriver.
Starkwing followed her son and mate as they disapeared into the sand.
Silverwater coughed a bit, then regained her breath. She padded away from her clanmates and went over to Sleet. "Hey," she mewed. "Splashingriver, he just...does things his own way. You were very brave taking on my mother." She ran her tail down Sleet's back, smoothing her fur. "Don't be sad. You were great."
Boneclaw padded up to Echostar. "Let me track them. I will find Splashingriver, and take his parents prisoner. But I want to do this alone."
