INTRO:
Me and Gonkpilled put loads of love and time into our OC’s with a hope this litter would be an outcome of hard work and great future plots! However, neither of us could have gone this far without the explicit cooperation of the roleplayer’s that helped make this a reality.
A big shout out to the wonderful minds of Ava, Resiliantalloys, Revelations, Rae, Blitz Krieg, Eomora, Bosstaurus, Kasaven, and Blobl. Thank you all so much for making this a smooth and exciting process and for participating in their lore!
p.s. Their current story is written future-tense as in most of what's typed below has not happened yet and is subject to repeated edits. No major spoilers about the Loyalist/Rebel plot will be unveiled only briefly touched upon. This has already been pre-approved and checked by both Ava and Revelations.
THEIR STORY:
It unfolded against the backdrop of the Loyalist's treachery, a tale of loathing evolving into an unlikely connection. A mutual understanding of spite for the weak and any who defied Sootstar's reign. True to their cold natures and unwilling to see reason in the Rebel’s cause they fought for their Moor Queen. Creating a gravitational pull neither could deny. Eventually, their matching sneers turned into curiosity. Lingering glances and soft touches at every meeting were now an act of adoration. Many nightly patrols spent wandering the territories and whispering secrets in the safety of their hidden tree stump.
A part of Harbingermoon had loved Hollowcreek, but it was a piece buried deep within the confines of his narcissism. Hollowcreek had grown to care for the other but lacked the gusto to confront them. Both were unable to express it in a manner that mattered. So instead they decided to have fun and ignore the consequences. Spending many nights wandering the territories and whispering secrets in the safety of their tree stump.
————————————————————————————————————————————
At the height of tensions, Harbingermoon had grown ill early in the morning. Convinced it was the splash he received from a Riverclan patrol, he sought Wolfsong’s help. Yet, they gave him news of kits, a part of life he had never intended to indulge. Spiraling the ambitious tunneler further into denial as he begged the Medicine Cat to keep his secret. Startled and concerned, he agreed and promised to assist Harbingermoon through the difficult process. Only for the crocodile tears to run dry as the ebony warrior turned his back on the other’s mate.
Shortly after, a war raged between Loyalists and Rebels. Harbingermoon threw the first blows at Sootstar’s demand and aided in her exile of any that defied them. A perfect excuse to relieve his stressors, but also the recipe in which his downfall began. Wolfsong knew of his one sore spot and indulged Sunstride with the details. Cluing them in that he would be no asset to the mad leader of Windclan in her time of need. Later he is adorned with the new position of Lead Warrior alongside Hollowcreek. Fueled by the admiration of a crowd, he pushed himself past the limits. Struggling twice as much and greedy for recognition, he hid his pregnancy.
In time, his secret grew heavier and the anxieties higher. Afraid of rejection, as he had experienced in the past, the sour feline bit his tongue. The only option he sought fit was to push Hollowcreek out and keep working. Ignoring him at every turn and denying answers to questions shot in his direction. Sooner rather than later, the roundness of his belly became evident. Leading Hollowcreek to believe Harbingermoon had moved on with another cat.
Heartbroken and furious, he cast aside all feelings for the tom he once admired. Harbingermoon was now alone and terrified as yet another battle broke out from the Rebel takeover. Successful in their plight, he’s left with a choice: run or stay. Leaving him defenseless and vulnerable without Loyalist support, he fled for his life. Turning to the one place he knew would be secure. A little hollowed-out stump near Fourtree’s where the two had frequently met in their pastime.
————————————————————————————————————————————
Several miserable hours later, two out of four bundles made it into the world beneath the glow of the moon. Mournfully, he buried the two that passed behind the stump. For a night, Harbingermoon was at peace and by day it petrified him at the lack of connection. His life had once again turned upside down and right as they’d made peace with being a father. Except when he looked down all he saw were squealing mouths to feed and an endless pile of problems. The one thing he had prayed would go right is very wrong in their frazzled mind. Causing his resolve to crack and fall apart.
In a final disastrous decision, he flees his responsibilities. Abandoning his children in the cold and stumbling by the Windclan border in a haste to escape. Easily spotted by the stench of blood he is stopped by Sunstride's patrol. Kindly the golden feline offers Harbingermoon and his kits respite within Windclan's nursery. Taking pity on him for his miserable state and the uncertain future of his kits. Yet they will bitterly refuse the offer spitting insults as he is confronted. Exhausted, losing blood, and deranged, he will see it as a trap to capture him. Using the last of the adrenaline spiking in his veins, he violently lashed out at the nearest cat.
Committing such a mindless act made the 'Lead Warrior' sign his own death warrant. While attempting to survive the attack they finally put an end to the tom's sad existence. Sunstride’s patrol watched on helplessly as life drained from his hateful and frightened gaze.
————————————————————————————————————————————
Taking notice of Harbingermoon's absence during the escape - Hollowcreek set off to find them. Discovering clues left after the battle, Hollowcreek found the trail into Fourtree’s. Immediately, he is reminded of their hidden place and seeks it out. Finding two hungry kits wailing in the hollowed-out log. Realizing their scent and damning resemblance his hatred simmers out. For a while they sit with them to see if Harbingermoon will return but he realizes shortly that something is wrong.
Unwilling to raise them and unable to provide them with safety, he chooses the next best thing. A life elsewhere. Unsure of what became of Harbingermoon and why he left their kits to die. Hollowcreek abandons the kits near the Windclan border. Leaving it up to fate for their survival.
Sunstride thankfully found them in time and gave them to a good queen alongside Nightingalecry’s own litter, providing them with a life they wouldn’t have had under the care of their biological parents. Only the cats who witnessed the end of his life and found them at the border will know of their gruesome beginnings. Vowing to emotionally improve the next generation of cats in Windclan and aiming to win in the gamble of nurture versus nature.
They will be showered with kindness and patience by Queen’s and clanmate’s. In an attempt for Windclan to move on from Sootstar and her Loyalist's terror with the hope that love will give them a different outcome. In Windclan they will be raised communally and of the idea they were orphaned, lacking the knowledge of their parents and being raised by a real family unit.

KEY:

— Names given by the Rebel's were all specially hand-picked by the characters mentioned.
POTENTIAL IDEAS:
— Since Harbingermoon wasn't very thoughtful of himself or the wellbeing of his kits, half of them will be stillborn and the other half will have made it. Because of these unfortunate circumstances, the kits will most likely come out very small and weak. Maybe even develop at a slower pace than most other kits or be very sickly at the start of life.
— Kits will be pseudo-adopted by Nightingalecry and communally raised alongside their own litter. Meaning they will receive loads of attention and interactions with their clanmates. Specifically, Brightshine, Sunstride, Redpaw, and Wolfsong will play a light role in checking in on them. Venomstrike and Rattleheart will also play as secondary parental figures for them to look up to.
— These kits will be the exact age as Nightingalecry's kits and born under similar circumstances these kits will most likely develop a strong sibling relationship with their littermates.
— They will always be curious about their origins but most cats will claim to not know where they came from. Leaving that question unanswered and easily ignored, as they will receive plenty of love and attention from their clan. However, Sunstride may reveal the truth to them one day, shattering their worldview once they realize their fathers were brutal murderers and one of Sootstar’s Loyalists.
— Hollowcreek might one day cross paths with them and maybe even be forced to fight. Leading to a long-term disdain between the kits and him, only later discovering he’s their father. The kits are welcome to take this in any way deemed fit for their character.
