STORY
✦ GRIEF ✦
Midnightstar's mate died by the claws of a fox protecting her kits and den. She and Midnightstar were inseperable and loved each other more than life itself. Despite this he fought onwards to lead the clan and support his family with great strenght and wisdom without her by his side.
Sadly their family would break apart more as Dewpaw, unable to feel at home in their clan and being in line to eventually become leader, left suddenly and didn't reappear for much time. Only Moonkit and Midnightstar were left of the family and the two grew even closer; rarely to beseen without each other.
✦ BETRAYAL ✦
For some time a hostile clan nearby had been endanering and threaten the clan, Midnightstar took it upon himself to venture into their border alone per their request to discuss a truce. In a moment of lowered guard he was overpowered from behind as the opposing leader slit his troat so deep he only had a moment to realise before falling to his death.
His lover in starclan, without hestistance in an act of selfless love gifted her 9 lives of guardian spirituality to revive him, giving up her own existence in return for her famil's safety and the clan's continued prosperity. The healed scar by his troat left in memory served as an imagine of respect and virtue, but it left him mute in the process as the scar tissue deep within damaged his speech. Avianstrike ensured to find a way to communicate to efficiently keep up their duties and roles.
