Ebonycloud lifted her head to see Shadowstorm chrash through the bushes and stumble in to camp, "He is over there." She pointed with her tail to where Brokenstar was. She turned to Tabbystripe and mewed, "I am so sorry about this Tabbystripe. You are the best. You have stuck with me through thick and thin. I just dont think the rest of Windclan will see it that way. I am leaving. I cant stay here any longer. Call me a coward or whatever you want. I might come back some day but i need to think about what is going on. I cant be a clan cat anymore." She looked away. Her mind was made up. She would become a rogue.
As he was leaving, he heard Ebonycloud and listened. over there... Shadowstorm dashed in that direction and found the cat of his searches. "Brokenstar..." he panted. "I will not join you. Even if I am the last cat to actually remain a part of one of the origional four clans... I will fight until I die or until you do."

"Wait, Ebonycloud!" she called. "I'm torn between the four clans and brokenclan, but i keep thinking about the lightning. There was pure insanity in Brokenstar's eyes before he said what he did, but I can't go back to WindClan, they would never let me, you know it. Please help, I don't know what to do. It is against the warrior code to become a rogue or kittypet, but I fear I have already broken the warrior code."
Ebonycloud rested her tail on Tabbystripe's shoulder,"Do you have faith that Starclan will help you?" she asked. "It is your stronger weapon remeber that. You cat change my mind. I need sometime to be away from the clans. I am just so confused. Tabbystripe. Do what your heart tells you. Look to our ancestors. You are Windclan medicine cat. You were meant to be there. I knew it the moment you became my apprentice. Dont lose faith." she said. She stood and looked in to the forest around her, "I had better get going. I need to think of a new name. I dont deserve my warrior one."
Duskstar rose after she had realized that StarClan would send her no more dreams. She padded out to the clearing and saw Ebonycloud on her way out. "Ebonycloud?" She meowed, her voice trembling. "Where are you going?" She asked quietly. Her voice shook.

"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Ebonycloud turned her tear filled eyes to Duskstar, "I am leaving. I cant stand it anymore. I dont think i made the right choice and now because of me all of you are following Brokenstar. I didnt want this to happen. I hope more than anything that this was Starclan's will. I have to leave. I need time to think. I am exiling myself to the life of a rogue."
IC: "Did you come all the way here just to tell me that?" brokenstar cooed, swiping his tail across Shadowstorm's nose, who let out an angry hiss. "I am honored. And yet yoour words are so simple-minded; spoken by a simple minded cat, no less. You are a fool if you do not realize that this is StarClan's will. Now, stoip wasting my time, and go back to your camp." Shadowstorm did not reply, but turned back to the gorse tunnel, and began walkign back towards the ShadowClan camp.
OOC: Starting the second and final day.
IC: The ThunderClan and BrokenClan cats exited the ThunderClan camp in silence, heading toward Fourtrees. Brokenstar went on ahead, humming softly to himself. Today would be the day that all of the Clans would join together - or die. Whichever the majority preferred. If only the foolish cat could have foreseen the price that he would be paying for his foolishness.
OOC: Also, a notice: This battle will be ended next Thursday. I will plan out a post to end it, so if you are planning on having conversations, make sure they are ended by 4:30 PM Pacific time on that day.
Duskstar sighed. "I see I can't stop you." She began, pressing her muzzle against Ebonycloud's for comfort. "But will you do me a favor?" She asked quietly, her voice still shaking.
