“We all know that the hard time of leaf-bare, and late newleaf, have left us with little prey in our hunting grounds. But we also know that WindClan, RiverClan, and ThunderClan lost many kits in the freezing weather that came so late this season. ShadowClan did not lose kits. We are hardened to the cold north wind. Our kits are stronger than yours from the moment they are born. And so we find ourselves with many mouths to feed, and too little prey to feed them.”

“Should ShadowClan be punished because our kits thrive?” ("yowled") Do you want us to watch our young starve? You must share what you have with us. WindClan failed to understand this. In the end, we were forced to drive them out of their territory.”

“Those kits were weak, they would have been no use to ShadowClan. If I hadn’t killed them, some other warrior would have.” (Hissed)
