3 days till a light in the mist and I really hope Ashfur gets a good death.
Because imo he's a good villain, we watched him become a bitter dickhead along with the cats in the universe, which is unique. He's the only cat we've had that's had such a massive buildup, even more than tigerstar 1 in certain ways.
I also really hope it's squirrelflight that deals the death blow, it would be cool to see Ashfurs delusions appear and him being convinced that squirrelflight won't kill him cause she surely loves him only to have said delusions be shattered.
Im begging you Erin's, don't fuck this up

Because I don't trust the Erin's to give a satisfying Ashfur death imma try my best to write a scene myself. Ahem
Warm water sloshed around his pelt, powerful forepaws thrusting through the liquid as he swam his fatigue quelled by his ever growing rage. How dare bramblestar yet again steal squirrelflight from him ?! After all he had done for her. . From coming back and tricking that mousebrained apprentice and stealing her stupid mates body. . He couldn't understand it.
Finally paws clashed against hard stone, and as his anger began to mount he found with a small prick of surprise that his ghostly paws met solid ground, paw pads meeting stone as if he was once again alive. . Had his love and anger grant him such a form. . ? This proved so much. . Even his love could achieve what few thought was possible, well since the great battle anyway.
Hauling himself out he shook off his shimmering pelt, water seemingly tinged with the sparkles that still clung to his pelt. Glancing around the dimly lit stone of the moonpool he could hear a commotion. . Were those bunch of fools still whining and wailing their glee of Bramblestars return ? Mousebrains !! They were so stupid to think that was the end, so blinded by their love for a dumb tom who had taken so much from him. Bramblestar was no better than a pile of fox dung.
Gathering his strength he stormed up the spiral pathway, paws melding into the pawprints of those who came before him, those who were so much weaker than him.
Bursting out into the weak moonlight his fur spiked as he was met with several eyes staring staring him full of malice but also ashfur thought with satisfaction, fear.
He knew he could not fight all these warriors, he wasn't dumb like them, but with a bit of unease as his head glanced around he noticed they weren't trying to form an attack formation. . Instead it seemed like they were forming a wall of cats ready to push back any force that came to them.
He noticed the familiar pelts of the leaders. . Tigerstar, harestar. . And with blazing anger he noticed the strengthend pelt of Bramblestar. Ah yes. . It seemed this quarrel would finally end, surely this was a plot to allow Bramblestar his revenge.
But not even the thunderclan leader moved and with confusion mounting Ashfur turned his head to a parting in the formation that surrounded him. . And with a mingled feeling of glee and hatred he noticed the ginger pelt of squirrelflight. The she cat he had done all of this for.
" Squirrelflight! Have you finally come to your senses ? "
He forced a purr despite his anger, Squirrelflight continued to walk towards him with a calmness in her eyes he hadn't seen in a good while. . She must have come to her senses, she wouldn't be approaching him like this if she hadn't!
With a triumphant look towards Bramblestar he padded forward,
" I knew you would ! While it'll be hard to forget all those stunts you've pulled i still love you ! We'll figure it all out . . We can be happy ! "
His mind whirled with how life could finally be like it should have, pushing his head forward to initiate an affectionate nuzzle he was stunned by the sudden brutal slash of the she cats claws against his cheek.
Mind reeling he could barely react before a weight crashed into his side and left him flailing his paws to try correct himself. The assault was brutal, the ginger pelt of Squirrelflight crashing forward like an unrelenting current in a river. The calmness had hidden the storm brewing in her being.
Finally managing to regain some sense of thought he lashed out with unnsheathed claws, hissing a threat, one which was cut off by a paw clawing through his hindquarters, whirling around he realised how much he had backed away since the sudden attack launched upon him.
He was met with the blazing eyes of Lionblaze, and just as he was about to show that arrogant apprentice of his just what he wanted to do him during those days a weight slammed onto his back.
Claws dug in to his pelt, and with panic rising in his chest he began to frantically buck and twist trying to dislodge squirrelflight. Nothing worked, as claws continued to claw his shimmering pelt he could feel the sharp agony of teeth clamping around his scruff, except those teeth didn't stop, with a slight pause of relief the teeth came back.
He could feel them dig deeper and with a yowl of terror his actions, frantic yet weakening, he could feel the blood drip down his neck.
" Stop ! You can't do this ! I know. . You still love me ! You'll regret this! I did this all for you squirrelflight! You can't kill me ! "
The words fell on deaf ears, all that met them was a vicious growl more akin to a rabid badger than from the she cat he knew. Grey legs soon collapsed from under him, weakening as blood continued to pour, as teeth continued to tear at his neck.
As the weight lifted he wiggled, panting with heavy breath as his head turned to watch Squirrelflight finally shift off him and move to lean down face to face.
Her breath fanned over his muzzle and with words filled with so much hate she spoke
" I never loved you. "
It was then a paw slammed down and claws tore through his throat, and with a choked yowl his eyes widened. . No. No No No. . This couldn't happen. This can't happen, after all this. Squirrelflight should love him now, after all he did. But as he tried to speak these facts the only sound that came out was a gurgle, the dim light seemed to close around him he struggled to stop it but it was useless.
The world went dark as the tom felt his body slowly turn to mist.
Obligitory Ashfur MAP idea, its to the song Banana brain from Die antwood and the beatdrops in the song are in the neon colour palette, perhaps him dreaming of the ideal word he wants; ie having squirrelflight as a mate and the like. as the song continues the colour palettes begin to mix as Ashfurs spite and anger becomes unmanagable, the fire scene until his death are in the neon palette. nothing spectacular storywise but ive always been a fan of duel colour palettes, OH and his heart in the neon one would thump to the beat
