Description
I'm over it
You see I'm falling in the vast abyss
Clouded by memories of the past
At last, I say
I hear it fading
I can't speak it
Or else you will dig my grave
you feel them finding
Always winding
Take my hand I'll
Be alive

You see I cannot be forsaken
Because I'm not the only one
We walk amongst you
Feeding, raping
Must we hide from everyone

I'm over it
Why can't we be together
Embrace it
Sleeping so long
Taking up the mask
(...)

- "Forsaken" by David Drainman (Disturbed)

There... you should listen to it. It's awesome. O.O [link]

Oh my god... I did it. I listened to this soundtrack from the movie "Queen of the Damned" and I immediately had to think of Mapleshade. I didn't read the books in which she appears, yet, I just finnished "Twilight" and bought "Sunset" today... so I'm not sure if that's what Mapleshade said.^,^
Anyways, to the scene: It's from The Last Hope, when the Dark-Forest cats finally attack and Mapleshade fights with Sandstorm, pinning her to the ground and growling into her ear, that she had everything Mapleshade ever wanted. A loving mate, kits she could watch grow up and so on... So this kinda explains that the cats on this pic are Mapleshade and Sandstorm I didn't want to draw Sandstorm's face, because I wanted to do a close-up of Mapleshade. Uh...and I didn't make her look down at Sandstorm,... it looked stupid o_o'
I didn't read enough about her, so I'm not sure if I should feel sorry for Mapleshade or just think that she's creepy as hell. As far as I know she had a RiverClan-mate and was exiled for this, her kits drowned in the river and RiverClan chased her out, as well. In the end she died as a rogue and didn't find her way to StarClan, so she stayed in the Dark Forest as one of the oldest cat-spirits there. I wanted to make her look like she's already fading, but it looked strange, so I kept her like this... And I didn't make her sparkle like the StarClan-warriors.
Some people don't get why she didn't go to StarClan, while Ashfur, who nearly killed three of his own Clanmates in a fire, went there. Mapleshade did nothing wrong besides loving a cat from another clan...which nearly EVERY cat in the book does XD Well, in my opinion it didn't depend on WHAT she did wrong, but how she felt about StarClan when she died. I believe that when Mapleshade left her Clan she did it because she loved her mate, who rejected her in the end. She felt betrayed by the one she loved and everyone else as well. So when she was alone she began to feel angry and maybe she started to believe, that StarClan chose this destiny for her, just to make her suffer. She couldn't find her trust in StarClan anymore and got depressed and mad at them. And when she died, she was full of hate, so she couldn't find her way to StarClan and just stayed in the Place Of No Stars, where she planned her revenge on everyone and everything... And this is where I start to think that she's creepy. o__o' I read her warriors.wikia-article and I read about one part where she and the other Dark-Forest warriors plan the final attack. She mentions that they should kill all the kits, so the mothers wouldn't have anything left to fight for. THIS.IS.SO.MEAN!
So...referring to this cruelness and the fact that she's one of the oldest Dark-Forest cats I chose her to be the Queen of the Damned x_x'

I really hope you like it. Next time I'll upload the new comic page and some more pictures for the Let-Her-Go picture-series.^^ I'm not sure if it will be Cinderpelt's death (because I just read this scene) or something else... like Leafpool giving her kits to Squirrelflight. What do you think?^^

WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning!
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental
hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the
staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so
they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the
machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on
a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you
and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and
she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste
this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You
will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room

They weren’t, actually. He was already flirting with Reedshine (I think her name was) at the Gathering at the start of Mapleshade’s Vengeance. Appledusk is a jerk.

I love sol he was an amazing antagonist at one point but when they kinda just left him with the shadow clan thing I feel like that wasn't enough like I think they should have made him come back maybe in the new ark that would be cool and try to stop from sky clan joining the four clans again who knows but I really love his character and even though he did bad things all he wanted to do was to fit in but well yea so yea I really love ur art πŸ˜ƒ

Farensius [2016-10-11 01:42:23 +0000 UTC]

I agree! Mapleshade was a great character, and it was interesting to watch her mind deteriorate after all the tragedy she'd seen. And to answer your question as to why Mapleshade didn't go to starclan, it's because she murdered three cats, who all played a part in her downfall. This is what draws the difference between ashfur and Mapleshade. While ashfur may have still been loyal to his clan, Mapleshade had been exiled, and thus was no longer loyal. Ashfur only attempted to kill three cats, but never succeeded. Attemptede murder isn't the same as legit murder, so Ashfur wasn't judged as harshly.

AzuriteWarrior99 In reply to Farensius [2016-10-16 03:12:46 +0000 UTC]

Victoria Holmes posted (well, one of her aids) about who went to star clan and who didn't in the super editions, and once you apply Mizu-no-Akira's theory on not going to star clan because you reject it, it makes a lot more sense.
Holmes revealed that several cats who you wouldn't think went to the dark forest but ended up doing so were cats who were bitter about their destiny/mad and angry, and if they were so filled with hate and wouldn't let go of their grievances, and pinned the blame on star clan, and thus rejected star clan, they would end up in the dark forest as a result. it also fits with what bluestar(?) said about ashfur, that if he believes he belongs in star clan, then he'll find his way there

Well, for me, I think that Hollyleaf's crazy because she killed a cat to keep her secret hidden and lately she told the secret in front of all cats on a gathering, but the one who really s*ucks is Tigerstar. He killed innocent cats to gain power... Scourge did a good job by killing him.
