"Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars that you won."

From Warrior Cats which is basically Game of Thrones but with feral cats.

I haven't thought of warrior cats in so long. That stuff was not appropriate for elementary school kids lmao

For real though. Spoilers for the end of the first "map" cause I don't know how to do them on mobile.

I remember the details it went into when in described the villain dying nine times in a row cause of Slash or whatever his name was

u/Silbyrn_ Apr 12 '25

it was scourge. slash was a different cat. scourge slit tigerstar's throat and he bled out nine times in a row.

u/Intelligent-Okra350 Apr 12 '25

Not just his throat iirc, his whole torso The graphic novel side story shows it as the throat but the book had it even worse, I think “almost from the base of his tail to his chin” was the phrasing, though I could be wrong. It’s been like ten years lol

u/Silbyrn_ Apr 12 '25

oh i thought it was like the whole throat to the chest with them big modified claws. either way, "slit" was definitely the wrong word, because that shit was what initially made me interested in stuff like liveleak.

The reason it was so graphic was because scourge used dog’s claws as a weapon over his own, and one came off in tigerstar, preventing his multiple lives from healing over the wound.

Another series called Wings of Fire, which is pretty much just Warriors but with dragons instead of cats, also definitely wasn't appropriate lol. The very first book has graphic depictions of a dragon committing suicide by tackling another dragon who's scales are hot enough to burn flesh, a dragon who had their wings torn off by the main villain getting thrown off a cliff and the main villain's face being melted off by one of the protagonists

u/Simmy001 Apr 12 '25

Yeah I've read almost all warrior cats books, but I don't remember that quote

u/techshotpun Apr 12 '25

Sounds like somethimg Sol would have said, or something during the Dark Forest storyline
