CW: this MAP contains graphic imagery of animal death and tornadoes

This MAP is about Hawkstorm's inability to cope with the guilt and blame of Tadpole's death. Hawkstorm was born in thunderclan as Tawnykit alongside his siblings Bramblekit and Tadpolekit (Tadpole for short!). But on one unfortunate day, Tawnykit and his siblings stray from home and play inside an old, abandoned barn in the midst of a Tornado. Fireheart manages to catch up to the kits but he's too late. The barn collapses on Tadpole and Fireheart has to stop Tawnykit's attempts to rescue Tadpole to avoid losing him to the rubble too. On their way back to Thunderclan, Tawnykit can't let go of the feeling that if Fireheart hadn't stopped him, he could've saved Tadpole. Unable to cope with the weight of guilt and blame, Tawnykit runs off never to return back home but he'll never be able to run away from the haunting figure that manifests these feelings.

Tawnykit renames himself Hawkstorm and takes on the "storm" suffix as a way to symbolize how he will never be able to let go of that stormy day.

Years later, Hawkstorm tries to rekindle his relationship with his estranged brother Brambleclaw but their relationship is strained because of Brambleclaw's loyalty to Firestar. When another tornado strikes Thunderclan, Firestar gets caught in a fox trap. Hawkstorm is led to Firestar by the haunting figure and he's given a chance to rescue Firestar just like Fireheart rescued Tawnykit all those years ago.
