Tadpole's Death

With the release of Return to the Clans the Tadpole mystery has been solved. I got to flick briefly through the manga and when doing so, I discovered why Tadpole was only mentioned a few times...

Warning! Spoilers for Return to the Clans!!

Sasha tells her kits about her past two-leg owner, Ken. Hawk, Moth and Tadpole decide to try to find Ken to make their mother happy. What they don't know is that Ken had grown very old and gone to a nursing home, far, far away. (That is why Sasha became a loner--originally she was a kittypet.)

When Sasha goes out to hunt, the kits wander off and find BloodClan warriors. They run away and discover an abandoned two-leg nest. The kits then go inside the open basement window but accidentally seal themselves in. A pipe in the basement bursts and water begins to fill the basement.

Sasha, meanwhile, has returned to find her beloved kits missing. At once she begins a search for them. She encounters the same BloodClan warriors that her kits do. She manages to find the basement and rescue Hawk and Moth, but little Tadpole drowns.

The same night, Sasha dreams of Tigerstar. She asks him if Tadpole is with him. Tigerstar says no, but he tells Sasha that Tadpole is safe. This must mean Tadpole went to StarClan.

In the end, Sasha takes her kits to RiverClan then decides that Clan life is not for her. She leaves, though her kits stay.

And that is what happened to Tadpole. The poor little kit. :(

Yay!!! Thanks Sorrelpaw for another great post! If Russetfur knows then . . . she may turn the whole forest against them!!! Well, not them I guess just Mothwing. Poor thing . . . she can't even defend herself. Maybe Jayfeather will reveal the fact that she doesn't believe in the StarClan. Or maybe her fake predictions will slip and something big will happen and the whole clan will lose faith. *Tear Tear*

Hi Sorrelpaw. I just found out that the cat on the cover of Fading Echos is Ivypaw!! So she clearly must be important!!! This information is from Kate Cary one of the Erins. So I'm guessing the one on the Fourth Apprentice book must be Dovepaw? This is her quote from her blog. “Fading Echoes”…? I bet you guys know this already…you really must keep me up to date while I’ve got my head buried in my keyboard! Also (and I quote the editor at HarperCollins here) “the cover will feature Ivypaw in the inset, and the background image is of a shadowy forest”

NO! Something isn't right!!! While some one at wands and worlds was saying that he/she loved Code of the Clans, he/she mentioned that he/she loved the story "Pinestar's Secret" - I love reading about the ThunderClan right before Firestar came into the picture. " But it was Sunstar then Bluestar then Firstar. There was no time for Pinestar!!! Any theories??????

Yeah, I think that Ivypaw is actually the one of the prophercy.
