Description ... if she had never intervened.

Livestream: [link]

My entry for #TheWarriorsWithin 's contest. The theme was to draw a cat who died young, and I chose Red from Skyclan's Destiny.

//Spoiler alert for Skyclan's Destiny!//
Stick, Red's father, always thought that Red had betrayed him by loving Harley, another cat from the twoleg-place. In their final fight, Stick leaps at Harley, but Red jumps in his way. Stick can't avoid her in time and her throat is sliced, causing the brave little she-cat's death.
Personally, I thought this was one of the most unique story-lines from the Erins yet, considering the fact that they use the 'forbidden love' motif a lot.
//End Spoiler Alert//


I pictured that to avoid the conflicts of twoleg-place, the couple might have joined Skyclan for the protection of the kits they has always dreamt of.

The red she-cat is modeled after Red with some of Harley's tabby stripes. I think her name might be Velvetkit, after Red's mother, or maybe just Velvet if they decided to return to twoleg-place.
The splotched gray tabby tom would probably be named Pebblekit for his stone-like coloration and determination.
Leafstar, Billystorm, Cherrytail, and Ebonyclaw appear in the background. This is Skyclan camp.

Wish me luck!

Don't steal Velvetkit's design!!! I really like it and will probably use it as a real character design, okay?

Wow, thank you so much!
And yeah, I think this book deserves a lot more attention than it has now, especially because of its more unique story. I think the Erins usually tend to fall into a few specific patterns in their writing. XD

Why did red have to die?.... If only Skyclan's leader, the epic Leafdapple/star, didn't have to get involved?????? Hey have you read Firestar's quest? Or Bluestar's prophecy?

This is awesome. and I was wondering, would they have kept their names or would they have changed them (is talking about Red and Harley) and if they did change their names, what would it be?

chameleocoonJ In reply to rageofthefeathers [2012-03-01 23:36:34 +0000 UTC]

I don't know about their names... if they changed them, Red's would still have 'red' as the first part, but Harley's would probably change completely. I can't say for sure. ^^

Yes i would agree reds name would have red in it and harlys name would be changed completly.

You could do Pinestar's kits (Tigerstar's siblings). I thought about doing them, but I liked Red's story more. :0
