Chapter 13

AQUAPAW'S P.O.V.

"What is the Realm of Shadows?" Aquapaw meowed in disbelief and confusion. Hollypaw looked uncomfortable as she spoke: "You know how Felidae is way up in the sky? Well, The RoS, as they are preferred to be called, is way down into the ground. There was an easier way to travel between our two realms, but... my sister and I kind of ruined it," she meowed sheepishly. "Anyway, I was born there, but then I got kicked it because I wasn't tough enough."

"Stop," Leafstar ordered coldly. "I despise the RoS, and you should very well know that." "Yes, I believe I do," she replied curtly, "but it is our only option. Or would you rather live with Twolegs?" Twolegs. The mere title sent shivers down her spine. "All right, show us the way, Hollypaw," Leafstar meowed, padding solemnly out of the camp. "The sooner we leave Felidae, the better." Aquapaw followed her leader, alongside Sunpaw and Stormheart. Why was Leafstar eager to leave Felidae all of a sudden? She exchanged a questioning glance with Sunpaw, and he smiled kindly at her.

"Maybe we can change their minds if we pass by them on our journey," he meowed softly, and Aquapaw tensed up. Sensitive subject, alert! she yowled inside her brain, but forced herself to continue and pad along normally. He seemed to get the message, and slowed his momentum to chat with Flarepaw, his brother. Hollypaw hurried past her at some point, still looking stiff and uncomfortable. She narrowed her eyes, but deduced to not question her.

As she walked along the Felidae ruins, her heart sank lower and lower. The island used to be a beautiful, nature-loved place, but she guessed nature was too serious this time. Tipped-over trees, ripped undergrowth, decaying prey... It was a nightmare, and she clearly understood it was a disaster, and she and her Clanmates couldn't survive there any more. Still, her heart was left behind at the camp as she ventured further and further away from it.

The Felidae cats left at noon, but the moon was already rising, and Leafstar was regrettedly staring at the steps that lead down into the mortal, Twoleg world. "Are you sure about this?" she meowed to Hollypaw, just for clarification. No, Leafstar, you aren't dreaming, Aquaaw thought with a sigh. Holypaw nodded her approval before leaping down the steps. Leafstar turned to her group of cats, face expressionless.

"I would like to say goodbye to my ancient home, and everything the tornado has destroyed," she announced. "Where I was raised, and where I yearned to die. But I must leave now, still living and not dreaming. I hope you will get a bit better, but I bet every one of us knows my wish will never come true." She licked the ashy grass in farewell before trotting after the apprentice.

When it was Aquapaw's turn to cross worlds, she loathed going to somewhere unfamiliar. She hated leaving Felidae, and she hated that almost everybody has suddenly turned on her. Even her own siblings! Before she proceeded down the steps, Ivyblaze appeared in front of her. "Ivyblaze!" she gasped, spinting to her. She smiled a somber smile. "My love." "Why do Jaykit and Skykit hate me?" she ask, feeling small. Helpless.

Ivyblaze touched her nose to her forehead. "It's the grief, my darling," she murmured. "It will die, I promise." Her eyes twinkled sadly as she vocalized the word die, when Sunpaw nudged her playfully. "Come on! You gonna wait here until you're actually an elder?" he teased, and she joined her Clanmates with a heavy heart.

But only because she left it behind as she walked with Sunpaw. Even his name didn't shine light on her mood.
