Emberfang has tried to integrate herself into WindClan. She's restrained herself to the best of her ability, has suffered through grievances caused by the tyrannical blue smoke WindClan calls their empress, all to be here with her family. Because Brightshine had wanted this. And Emberfang wants her sister to be happy, and if Brightshine is happy here, so be it. She'd tread along the eggshells of Sootstar's temper, watch as the moors she's loved and called home for moons withers beneath Sootstar's iron fist. Emberfang doesn't recognize it, anymore. Sootstar has stripped that love from her chest and beat it into the ground.
Brightshine is happy, but Emberfang is not. And, selfless as she is, Emberfang grits her teeth and bares it for her sister. But something in her snaps the day that Honeytwist is exiled.
Honeytwist, the sweet, gentle medicine cat. Honeytwist, who is the stars in Pollenfur's eyes. Honeytwist, who has only ever shown Emberfang and her family kindness. One of the cats who'd made this miserable place worth living in. And, if the cards had been dealt in a different way, Honeytwist could've been family, too. Emberfang is no fool. She sees the way that Pollenfur and Honeytwist look at each other, stolen glances that speak louder than words. And, she sees the pain that Sootstar has inflicted upon Pollenfur, banishing Honeytwist from the moors. She passes by Honeytwist's children, every day, knowing that they are without their mother.
Emberfang may sacrifice her happiness for her family, but she would not allow such cruelty to stand.
With her tail lashing and ears pinned, Emberfang does the unthinkable. She ascends the Tallrock, glowering down at the confused faces below her. "WindClan!" Her yowl carries in the wind that whips at her fur, biting into her skin with the promise of colder days to come. "For too long, we've allowed injustice after injustice to happen! We've sat back and done nothing to help those hurt by Sootstar's ego! And I'm fuckin' sick of it!" Emberfang's unsheathed paw slams against the Tallrock, punctuating her fury-fueled words. "She took my family's home, she took Kestrel's eye for a 'crime' hardly punishable by a moon of tick duty, and now, she's taken a mother from her children. Sootstar is a danger to everyone around her! Her greed will be our downfall! Do you really believe that she should be left in a position of power any longer?!" Her wild gaze rakes over the crowd surely formed by now, searching for any sign of agreement. For any hope that she isn't alone in her rebellion.
And she prays that she doesn't see the disappointment in her family's eyes.
[ anyone is free to try and get her off of tallrock lmao! ]
