Top 10 Moments from the Warriors Book Series
Hello, I'm a huge fan of Warriors (Cat Novel Series). I've pretty much read the entire original series. I'm probably one of the few who knows everything that happened in the series. So without further ado, here's the official Top Ten Iconic Moments of the Original Warriors Novel Series!
Nobody saw me as I slunk through the shadows and watched silently. I often took pleasure in watching her action she has never seen me or spoke to me but I like to consider her of a friend. I saw her death from the best view or maybe the worst. What nobody knew was that she was slowly fading and dying away the moment Tigerclaw betrayed her she must have thought that star clan had left her just when she thought they were closest. I watched her as she flung herself forward to save Fireheart (star) and I silently screamed as she fell into the gorge. I comfort myself by thinking that she had found peace after many moons of distress and grief. She died a noble death and this moment should be remembered for many moons to come
Rainpelt outcast of riverclan
This is what I'm starting with as this is at the beginning of the series. After the battle between Thunderclan and Riverclan. A kittypet named Rusty decided to take a curious troll of fate in the forest as he would then meet Graypaw. Then soon after he would be face-to-face with the Thunderclan leader herself, Bluestar. She would give Rusty the opportunity to become a warrior, which he reluctantly agrees to. He is brought into the clan as a kittypet, and proves himself in a classic bout against Longtail.
I would consider this classic moment as Rusty would leave the life of a kittypet to survive as a respectable warrior. This would be introducing Rusty as he becomes Firepaw, therefore he legacy had begun.
"A battle occurs in the ThunderClan camp. The raiding party from WindClan is led by Onestar, leading Lionpaw to think that this was not just ordinary battle - it was war. Onestar protests against Firestar taking in too many kittypets and loners and helping the Clans over and over. Onestar states that they are warriors, and then they leave. Firestar is outraged and sends patrols to make sure they left, but WindClan didn't. Cloudtail finds out that they have split into three patrols and have spread across the territory, and they used the tunnels to attack. After Firestar sends patrols to meet the WindClan warriors, RiverClan joins the battle as well, on WindClan's side. Brambleclaw sends Hollypaw to ask for help from ShadowClan, and she gains it. Blackstar sends cats from ShadowClan to come to ThunderClan's aid, and eventually, all four Clans are fighting on ThunderClan's territory."
I don't know what it was about this scene but I just love it.
After Tigerstar's Death, the iconic final battle between Lionclan and Bloodclan took place in the final arc. The legendary fight between Firestar and Scourge also took place. Therefore, there is a huge reason why this is number ONE. When these two unscathed claws and did battle, it was complete magic. In fact, when I read this book, I actually read it in the course of one day, that's how epic the final arc was. This is also number one because tragically, both leaders never knew that they were both half-brothers, since they had the same father.
This battle would cement the legacy of both Firestar and Scourge as the battle was completely fierce and deadly to the bitter end. Firestar would lose his first life in this fight, which would sadly be Scourge's undoing. The original series would end With Firestar standing tall as the victor and hero of the forest.
This made me so sad ! I was right there with leafpool crying! Cinderpelt meant the world to her, and she felt so bad for leaving her...Makes me sad every time.
Although, this moment is also gruesome, it's probably the most satisfying. I might go far to say that every reader have actually cracked a big smile at this death scene. Tigerstar was leader of Shadowclan at the time and was allied with Riverclan. However, he decided to align also with a deadly rogue faction known as Bloodclan, lead by Scourge. Unknown to readers at the time, Tigerstar have crossed paths with Scourge before. When Tigerstar was Tigerpaw at the time, his mentor was Thistleclaw, who was unfortunately another bloodthirsty warrior. He instructed his apprentice to attack Scourge, who was a kit at the time, and was curiously strolling the forest. Scourge was nearly killed.
When they confronted Thunderclan and Windclan, Bloodclan made their appearance. Tigerstar wanted Scourge to swear his loyalty, and prepare for war. However, Scourge didn't want to battle now. With rage, Tigerstar lunged at him, but was quickly put down with a slash. With sweet irony, Tigerstar lost all of his nine lives and Scourge got his revenge in the process. This would go down as an iconic moment we've all been waiting for. 'Cause think about it, he actually DESERVED IT!
The second time I ever cried while reading a book (first time was end of Hunger Games) my feelings for Crowfeather change every book, this scene was one of the few scenes that I loved him in. Feathertail deserved better she was so sweet
Feathertail was great and I'm pleased that Crowfeather named himself after her but this part made me cry. It was the second Warrior Cats book I read, so I was only just understanding how cats do die in these books.
Oh my gosh so sad. ! I was really mad they had to make this happen because the Erins always make characters grow more and more great but then make them die I think they are trying to mess with our emotions.
That's so cute. It broke my heart when they had to say goodbye. Thank StarClan Bluestar's kits were grey, not reddish brown, or ThunderClan would had suspected.
This is so cool! The beginning of a terrible time for Bluestar, but I really like this bit.
Bluestar, if you want to be deputy then don't flirt with RiverClan!
Welcome back to very beginning of the series where the battle between Thunderclan and Riverclan would take place. This is the battle where Tigerclaw fight alongside his clanmates in a deadly battle when times are dark. This would feature a scene where Bluestar speaks with Spottedleaf, Thunderclan's Kind Medicine Cat at the time. She would soon have a vision which would be the fate of the future.
This would trigger an epic quote from Spottedleaf to Bluestar. "Fire Alone can save our clan." This would be cemented as the series opener as it would probably be the most beautiful ever.
So sweet. I loved Yellowfang. When I read Warriors, I picture it in my head like a computer-animated movie (like How to Train Your Dragon, or other movies like that). With some dramatic, sad, or basically emotional moments, I play music in my head. I do a lot of How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks for dramatic moments, and for after some character's deaths, I play that music from How to Train Your Dragon 2 when they shot the ship with flaming arrows, after Stoick's death. Awesome, but perfect for a look of triumph, even though sad. Anyone else do that?
This moment is perhaps the most gruesome on the list. Stonefur and Mistyfoot are Riverclan warriors who are actually kits of Thunderclan leader, Bluestar. This made Stonefur a Half-clan breed with his sister and kits of Graystripe and Silverstream, Stormpaw and Featherpaw. They were branded as traitors by Tigerstar and Leopardstar, and were to be executed. Fireheart, Graystripe, and Ravenpaw attempted to save them at the time. However, Stonefur was forced to fight both Darkstripe and Blackfoot in order to protect the others.
While Stonefur managed to defeat Darkstripe, he was finished off by Blackfoot. If you read this moment, you would probably have nightmares as you would imagine Stonefur throat being ripped opened and blood covering his entire face.
I've always liked this moment, even though Graystripe and Silverstream isn't my " BEST COUPLE EVER" like some people would say. This was a good way to start the subplot of Graystripe and Silverstream's relationship.
Swiftpaw died without Brightheart even remembering he did it for her and it made my heart crack in half Swiftpaw should get more respect!
*Blink, Blink* I died right then and there. The future kits of BrightPaw and SwiftPaw? There are never going to be any. Before I read this scene, I thought, I hope they name their kits SpringKit and AutumnKit, but then I died.
Swiftpaw did die to save her but don't forget it's him who put her in danger in the first place. I still love him, and don't say he was impatient because he'd been waiting for a long time. People are always surprised when I say I don't like Bluestar but I do think she is overrated. She not only refused to make them warriors but named Brightheart Lostface!
This scene was great, the character's emotions matched the scene and Ashfur was the perfect antagonist to make all of the pieces fall into place. This caused the Three to have the burden to keep this a secret, until Hollyleaf kills Ashfur and blurts it out in the middle of a Gathering. I also knew that they weren't Squirrelflight's and Brambleclaw's kits as soon as Jayfeather mentioned the Squirrelflight never had enough milk to feed her kits. And the parsley and everything just feel into place then. - Moonstar of ThunderClan
Firepaw: I love you Spottedleaf!
Spottedleaf: I love you too!
And so began the series-long trend of forbidden love.
I though I saw the end of the world in her eyes... "I love you Spottedleaf!
Firestarxspottedleaf is so overrated- they hardly spoke when she was alive
Oh my this was so emotional! This part made me actually cry when I read it for a second time because I knew that they would separate in the end. Love was not strong enough for them. This is my favourite part in all the books - I memorised it in memory of Leafpool when she died in Squirrelflight's Hope.
Crowfeather is a very confusing character. I never know if I should feel mad at him, or if I should feel bad for him. Did he save her cause he loved her or cause he didn't save Feathertail? Either way I reread this part twice
Leafpool couldn't have saved her, whatever people say. Still it was SO sad that she had to die! Poor Sorreltail and Brackenfur. Two of their kits die, one breaks a leg, and the last nearly dies of greencough.
This part was so sad! She had been talking with Berrynose about having kits then she died saving a spoiled one.
Perhaps because it's one of the only death in pot, it ends up being very memorable to me and others.
This moment is on the list of the forbidden love between Thunderclan warrior, Graystripe and Riverclan Warrior, Silverstream. Reader would probably feel warmth in their as these two was together. This would start when Silverstream saves Graystripe from drowning. Ever since then, the gray warrior was captivated by her. They would soon mate during the 2nd arc. This caught a riff between Fireheart and Graystripe, however it passed.
During the 3rd arc, tragedy would strike when Silverstream would die during kitting. This would be a very tragic moment, but also remembered as these two would love each other to the very end.
I believe that Needletail deserves way more credit than she got. Her actions at the start of A Vision of Shadows were pretty poor, however she made up for it when she sacrificed herself for her best friend, Violetshine. Drowning is a TERRIBLE way to go in my opinion. I get teary eyed every time I read Needletail's death.
-Birdcreek's Opinion :)
Quick Question: What is it with some of the best scenes in warriors not being known to the majority of cats in the story except for the cats involved.
Oh poor Needletail poor Violetshine and then she didn't even get to StarClan straight off!
If you read this series, then you should probably know who Tigerclaw is and should know that he is NOT is good person. He is a ambitious-driven, power hungry warrior who just wants to become leader. To do so, he managed to kill Thunderclan's deputy, Redtail. Fireheart was on to him however. He would thwart his plans to kill Bluestar, and they would have their first battle against each other. Tigerclaw would then be exiled afterwards. This happens in the 3rd arc, by the way.
During the 4th arc, Tigerclaw was allied with rouges and they've crossed paths with Thunderclan patrol. Although it was off-screen or off-page, Tigerclaw completely snapped and brutally killed Runningwind, leading to Whitethroat's death and another fight between Fireheart and Tigerclaw.
Remember the awful forest fire that happened to Thunderclan in the 4th arc of the series. This moment would see the near destruction of the clan and the death of Yellowfang, former Shadowclan medicine cat, and Thunderclan's current one at the time. She's been through a lot as her son was none other than Brokentail, One of the series first antagonists and former deadly Shadowclan leader. Yellowfang rid herself of him the last arc for his crimes, however, when her and Fireheart went to save other cats during the fire. She was trapped along with Halftail.
This moment is kinda heartwrenching, since Fireheart was forced to leave Yellowfang and Halftail behind. When he returned, Halftail was dead and Yellowfang was dying with her last breath, Fireheart would be devastated and Yellowfang would die from smoke inhalation.
