Always Gold - Grey Wing & Clear Sky (Complete Warrior Cats M.A.P.)

YEY! It's done, happy tears all around ;o;
This was an EXPERIENCE . I know a lot more about hosting maps now, and its a lot more work than i thought otl
buT YES! here is always gold, DONE! :D
This map is about Dawn of the Clans! More specifically, it focuses on the dynamic between Grey Wing and Clear Sky's relationship in the first three books... check out the book series if you are interested! www.harpercollins.com/97800623...
What is a M.A.P. ? It stands for Multi Animator Project, so each part was animated by a different person! They had set designs and a script, which if you'd like you can check out here! sta.sh/0uef2he9esq

Gray Wing was easily the most levelheaded and calmest, and generally smartest of every warriors character in my opinion. He never did anything out of anger, never wanted any wars, always took others into consideration above himself. He was a true, real warrior

Well it it kinda made sense for Thunder to go to Clear Sky. He didn't know his father at all and it was his chance to finally get to know him. Of course it hurt Gray Wing, but even he understood that Thunder needed to understand and get to know Clear Sky. So it wasn't like Thunder was 'dumping' Gray Wing. He just wanted a chance to get to know his father.

A bit of a vent here, you can ignore this if ya want... a few years ago my great grandma walked in on my crying watching this, because it was just so sad, and I was already going through some things, and she sat down with me and hugged me. This February, she died, and it’s been so hard... after watching this, I just basically started sobbing, and I’m trying to stop so that my mom doesn’t come into my room and ask what’s wrong. This... this animation. Some people may say that it’s stupid, but a lot of my best memories happened during or after watching this, and it’s making me really, really sad, but I love it so much.

I know he didn't love Turtle Tail until after she came back, and I know Tom was garbage.

[@justinflowers9380]

You know, I've never been able to relate to a character more than Greywing. Props to the Cat who was at one point, respected, and trusted by all. The one cat who cared for everyone (Unless they threatened the clans). He raised kits that were not his own, mediated the clans, and was the strategist. Yet despite all he had done and how far he had travelled, he still never found his true home, until it found him. Greywing is the definition of a true hero, a character who fights for all sides, friend or foe against the true danger. A character who puts away differences in order to care for others. A character who never ceases to find peace in areas where it is not. "A hero who turns a blind eye to someone is like a compass out at sea. Good directions, but useless for those who see it."

[@Flameswipe]

Holy shit can I just say how much I love the effect at 4:05? With the burst of moonlight clearing the skies so the stars can shine down on the cats and the spirits rising from the bodies and then BAM suddenly StarClan-but-not-called-StarClan-yet is surrounding them and AH THAT PART'S SO GOOD.

They both lost people they loved deeply and lost kits, they both became neglectful fathers and both had kits raised by someone who wasn’t them. They’re are some key differences, yes, but the biggest one for me is that Clear Sky never tried to amend him mistakes towards his kit the way Crowfeather did. Crowfeather tried his hardest to be a father to Breezepelt when he hadn’t been before and Clear Sky... I can’t remember exactly why he wanted Thunder back but I do know he didn’t really want to make up for his mistakes in the past as badly at Crowfeather did

I know this a bit off topic, but wow. I'm going to say, maybe a year ago or so, I saw my first MAP (Either Anything You Can Do, Wolf, Or Loathing I forget) The only thing I new was that the style kept changing and the story it told with the Warriors characters. And that, that, of all things, kickstarted my now great obsession with animation on KZbin. That taught me about all these wonderful animators who I've discovered over the past year or so, who inspire me greatly. And now, one year later, after that one click, I might be getting an animation tablet. So, please, remember this. Do not be afraid to click on that video. It may change your life.

[@a_gnuest]

I think that apart from the first arc, dotc has the most fleshed out characters. You can understand their decisions, they have something real about them and it feels more personal because at some point, they were all friends and allies. The other arcs in comparison feel very black and white to me with the set clan rules, even though I love them too. I was very sceptical about dotc at first, seeing as it came out after The Last Hope, but the character dynamics made me fall in love so quickly! And Gray Wing had just something about him that set him apart from previous main characters in a very grounded, natural way. That's why he's my fave.

[@MrEclair55]

Read dawn of the clans: Warrior cats side series. It will explain basically everything. Thats the actual book audition thing that explains this.

[@specccle1138]

yup, but then orange cat started to hate blue eyes and ran off with a bunch of other angsty teens and they formed a group, then after a while orange cat and orange eyes got mad at blue eyes, and so did tall black cat, and brown cat, and they went to see blue cat but then one of the angsty teens caught a bat and then blue eyes started calling everyone thieves for eating bats because he forgot to eat his snickers and then everyone got super triggered and then they fought, and after a while the ghost cats came and told people to stop so they did

[@marsig2657]

wonderwolf omg that is some how totally accurate

[@cattank9184]

I love this map..The song touches me, dawn of the clans touched me. So many talented animators. I. Fucking. Love. This. Map. Thank you so much for this This Is Way More Than A Masterpiece.. Edit; I posted this comment when I was in 5th or 6th grade. I am no longer in the warrior cats fandom but this song still holds a special place in my heart. It reminds me of my best friend who moved and that’s why I find this song so lovely. Every time I hear it I start to cry. The art in here is lovely and it’s been 3 years and I bet their arts even more better now.

[@denisewhite9089]

Cheetah-bot! Agreed!

[@drawing8557]

Yahooo dude u r talking like a grandma it is only been a year

[@awildsnivy]

This is my favorite MAP of all time. I must have watched it at least 50 times lol

[@Fearless_Kat]

I yelled across the room for my sister to get over here and watch it with me. Great job! High fives all around!!!

[@Tala-sh9mn]

Same, except my little sister just yelled back

[@mirandarasmussen308]

+Tala 2121 Haha, I did too! My little sister came over to watch, but she looked pretty annoyed xD

[@logangamble6509]

+Miranda Rasmussen So did mine! And she's just like,"THIS is what made you cry? Pathetic.", which of course made me cry even more...

[@Fearless_Kat]

(Clunk!)

[@WhiskerMoon]

This map makes me so emotional jfc. This song is so beautiful and the parts flow so well together. i'M SO HAPPY TO SEE IT DONE AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. I'm so glad i was able to take part in this thank you jess

[@morgiea6434]

[@jaketaylor5014]

[@fruit4evr]

[@paulsprague4316]

Yeah wolfs really good😀

[@mayaithegg]

I got the chillsss

[@piperjones269]

Grey wings death is when I actually cried, like it’s the only death I ever cried over in warriors

[@schattenhelle]

i can't believe it's been 7 years. one of my absolutely favorite maps ever done, it's so wonderful and emotional to watch

[@milktea1994]

This was posted so long ago, and... it's still my favourite MAP ever. The music fits the animations perfectly and this makes me cry almost everytime I watch it. The music is super good, and the animations are smooth and flow well with each other. The storyline of the books is great too, and I literally just love this MAP to death. I know all the lyrics to the song and I heard it on a documentary and I remembered this MAP and I literally almost cried.

[@rinantamo156]

Agreed

[@eggkebab4123]

Milk Tea ikr gray wing loves and admires clear sky so muchno matter what he does or has done always gold is the perfect song

[@beachboulevards894]

Milk Tea I can name 7 parts of terrible animations that ruined the good map this supposed to be but ok.

[@dokkaebiryu]

@@beachboulevards894 why would you say that in a reply to someone who enjoyed it?? I admit that not everything is perfectly polished but it's still a gorgeous map IMO, and you shouldn't go around trying to bring peoples moods down and insulting the work of people who are- in all likelihood- still learning, especially considering that it's not meant to be a professional piece- this was for fun and for practice and for people to enjoy. I'm not always too fond of the phrase, but in this instance 'if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all' comes to mind. Constructive criticism I could understand, but your comment is frankly just rude without cause.

[@MuderMaid]

I HAVEN'T READ THIS FAR INTO THE BOOK SERIES YET BUT THIS STILL MADE ME CRY AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THESE CATS ARE!

[@wrenpayne163]

lol

[@MuderMaid]

XD

[@rustedfate71]

me neither but I'm pretty sure the light grey cat is Clear Sky and the dark grey cat is Grey Wing

[@MuderMaid]

Me too

[@youinanalternateuniverse6124]

+minecraft and aj sandwich You're right.

[@kitroars]

Can't believe this video is 5+ years old now. Lots of fond memories of watching this after tough schooldays in 6th grade, warriors maprojects was and still is a big inspiration to me. Guess what I want to say is a big thank you to everyone who worked on this, it's still in my top favourite maps from this fandom, even 5 years later!

[@jackaljunctionarchive]

dude same

[@AstraSight]

So the Tribe was changed to Clans during Clear sky and Gray-Wings time. Thunder who was raised by Gray-Wing later became Thunderstar. Also Gray-Wing Adopted Owlstar. His Brother was Skystar. Wow.

[@MapleSpyder]

YO this looks really good! Everyone did a really good job, and despite not reading Dawn of the Clans myself, I kind of got the general gist behind it 000: Really nicely done! c:

[@pikefang8830]

maple maple maple maple.......... I MUST TELL YOU SOMETHING ( ITS MY QUEST )

[@blackraspberrygirlnet902]

thank god its done. it's beautiful. and all the animators did a great job. but before it was done I thought it was given up on. but I'm glad it wasn't☺😥

[@fluffystar6591]

Yes I enjoyed all the MAPS I can't waited this video

[@fluffystar6591]

I see all who do this MAP is awesome!! And who enjoy this MAP is tidally awesome to. And I want to say this is great all of you done something in the history!!

[@melamey]

+MapleSpyder ikr

[@souppe9616]

Spoiler alert for thunder rising: Am I the only one that is really irritated by clear sky? I mean seriously, 1. He basically steals storm from gray wing and 2. He takes Thunder away. And yet gray wing still cares about him through out the book. Even though clear sky is such a douche, gray wing still cares about him. (Btw I just finished the second book so....)

[@willow3889]

NuclearDucky yeah! I totally agree!

[@sanchroll4788]

He didn't "steal" Storm. Storm was intrested in Clear Sky than Gray Wing, it was her choice.

[@souppe9616]

Platinum Zoroark yeah sorry, I was really mad at the time of writing this comment, 😅 I agree with you. But I think what I meant to say was I didn't like how Clear Sky rubbed it in :/

[@melanysalazar2836]

in the book it wasn't literally like him stealing her away, She kinda left him, anddd Clear sky regrets everything he caused later on and he chose not to kill his brother :P

[@sandstreak]

In the next books he starts to soften up (Especially after the 3rd book)

[@echofireofshadowclan4233]

"Just give in!" "Kill me. Kill me and live with the memory. Then tell the stars you *won*."

[@kaykay_saling7887]

This video was quite literally the whole reason I got into Warrior Cats when I was younger. I love how you included EVERYTHING between their relationship. Not just Storm or Thunder, Everything. Between BrightStream and turtle tail… amazing. Also, the flashing between Thunder and ClearSky and that one scene where Thunder and GreyWing were hunting? (2:07) Genius. I loved this and it’s been it my favorites since it came out and probably will never leave. I love DOTC and it’s so under appreciated. Thanks for this.

It's sooo sad.........

I know this was made like a while ago but I still love to watch it

[@isamic8068]

dawn of the clans is my favorite series :,( miss it

[@MinecraftSinss]

I was honestly crying at the end

[@libbyaustinsavage2377]

Justin spice dude prepare yourself for the last book is so sad (there is no one who didn't cry at the end so don't deny it or you're lying)

[@isamic8068]

The DoTC series needs more attention if ya ask me :(

[@justforfun2246]

Isamic Then re-read it

[@mommaraisedasoldiernotnobi9346]

Yeah. I think Dotc healed the Warriors legacy after the flop of Omen of the stars

[@LPSSparklybark]

[@-ponysparkle3-480]

+LPSSparklybark Same XD

[@moonsoul6678]

+LPSSparklybark So tru xD

[@sera1143]

Grey Wing was the first character I cried over ever in the history of me reading these god forsaken books, or any books for that matter. holy fuck. the whole dotc saga was just amazing. the whole arc around Grey Wing and Clear Sky, all the drama and Turtle Tail's death, and add Moth's Flight's Vision's ending of her giving away her kits, and you've got so much pain that it's good. The 6 books flowed into each other like one big book, and I read them all in a week. it was amazing, beautiful and so well made. you could feel their feelings, you could slip into their world, and even if dotc only gave us a peek into the world of these long dead cats (a peek compared to like 6 sagas of following the same bloodline) it still felt so personal. and now, that I finished Moth's Flight's Vision, I feel like this curtain has been closed and now the clans can continue living and existing until I get my hands on the Vision of Shadows saga. sadly I'm reading books translated to Finnish so I get the books really late :/ I think Grey Wing is one of my favorite cats, maybe paired with Slate and Moth's Flight. I love the character development in Moth's Flight, and I've just always loved Slate. but the amount of pain, changes and love Grey Wing went through, I can't help but wish that our boy Firestar would've gotten such a dramatic backstory. It would've deepened his character a lot, and he probably wouldn't have been seen as a cat who just,,, is around after his saga ended. Grey Wing is wonderful and dotc hurts so good. we love writers who like bittersweet endings.

[@redcow8176]

Lol I love that awkward stare between Bright Stream and Storm at 4:33!

[@SkyTeaWolf]

this song man has me feeling good, it reminds me of the good times in meh life and, 3verything is 👌

[@pirateopossum389]

thats good man, try and keep those times in your mind, and be 👌 all the time :)

[@SkyTeaWolf]

Always good

[@justrudyy4060]

Gray Wing deserved so much more, he was hurt in so many ways he didn't deserve. Gray Wing was truley the kindest character in all the warriors series. He had no credit for the makings of the clans, he couldent stay with storm, turtletail died, and he had to bear the fact that he still loved turtletail while Slate was his mate. His relashionships with his family was shattered and fixed but not completley, and he died slowly, not getting to see his real kits grow up like he saw his adoptive kits. But Gray Wing still claims he lived a good life, because he sees good in everything. Dawn of the clans made me cry at the end, and Gray Wing, well.. Gray Wing served the world well as a kind hearted, and strong warrior.

[@kyla8045]

This series was one of the best things of my childhood. The only book series I was excited to read. These maps made me so happy to watch. Thankyou so much the nostalgia is hitting hard....

[@spookyandholly898]

I Miss greywing so much now he was the most caring amazing cat ever and that’s what makes a Warrior not the fighting skill but the heart it’s the heart to put others need before you’re own it’s the heart to Fight for what is right it is the heart to Care that is what makes a warrior a warriors heart.

[@jennyrathke9441]

I'm so mad at the fire that killed Gray Wing in the end, DoTC is my favorite series and it will always be, I love Gray Wing he's my favorite character

[@pjek5730]

if Bright Stream never died than Clear Sky would have lived happily and their kits names would be :Fluffy Cloud and Muddy Water

[@pjek5730]

just a speculation also Clear Sky is my favorite I always felt bad for him he lost:2 mates,unborn kits,3 kits (thunders litter mates and Tiny Branch),his mother,his brother and his life a few times ;-; poor Clear Sky.......

[@zachariealdrich5501]

agreed... how he acts just makes me hate him more than anything, which kinda makes me hate myself for some reason-

[@rosegold386]

+FeatherFlight of LightClan bright stream had her kits in starclan!

[@pjek5730]

Rosegold yes I know I read all the books including Moth Flights Vision

[@michigangarnet3804]

FeatherFlight of LightClan I think if she had her kits somewhere else, or after died, they'd be called Bright Sky, and Clear Stream

[@crystalcatt6899]

Gray wing is one of my favorite characters he’s just so great. And he has athsma or something similar like me :D

[@Candy-8448]

Everytime i come back to this map it makes me wanna reread dotc. Man i love this arc and map

[@roseskies1626]

Gray wing was the only character that made me cry at the end.. truly the best character.

[@1ndigo712]

I have to say, the animation of the spirits rising and the other starclan cats coming gets me every time. Whoever did that part, you have true talent

[@liljatupsu]

This was one of my favourite maps back when it came out. Now that I'm reading Dawn of the clans I actually know what's going on (though the map already does a pretty good job portraying the events) and I'm loving it even more

[@daisybloomfuzz7463]

6 years later. 6 years.

[@postgoat5765]

clear sky is a demon because- he stole his brothers mate, sent his own brother away, stole his kits mate, rejected his own kit, and then went on a killing spree.

[@dudamuzi4070]

He got kind later if you finish the series. He regrets not being a father to Thunder and that sucks

[@VeiledChameleonz]

Still, Clear Sky is stubborn. I've never LIKED him but his character was good. Clear Sky just was evil and cruel. He may have changed but like.. *Only after the damage was done.*

[@VeiledChameleonz]

You have a point. I understand, but I still think his actions were justified no matter what.

[@angelfish1506]

It's called character development. He had the best redemption arc in the whole series.

[@VeiledChameleonz]

@@angelfish1506 He has a great redemption arc because it had so much detail and proved he tried changing. Nonetheless, my mind is set on he still wasnt justified, but he did make a change. Character development or not I still dont like him.

[@catnesswarriorcatsandstuff4464]

I just realized that almost every group of cats that is "3" Look like the "Three" Ex: GrayWing= HollyLeaf, Thunder=LionBlaze, ClearSky= JayFeather Ex: FirePaw= LionBlaze, GreyPaw= JayFeather, RavenPaw= HollyLeaf And so on xD

[@lecopac5738]

Catness /Warrior cats and stuff *cough* the tree looks like all the 3 groups of cats *cough*

[@justforfun2246]

Kind of, I guess yeah.

[@denisewhite9089]

Catness /Warrior cats and stuff Actually the Three are based off Firepaw, Ravenpaw, and Graypaw. Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf were based off them

[@alyssag8099]

Catness /Warrior cats and stuff Not necessarily Greywing is grey hollyleaf is black-furred. Thunder is orange lion blaze has more of a golden-yellowish pelt. I guess clearsky and jayfeather can look alike depending on who draws them.

[@Stargirl-co3pn]

Hollyleaf is not part of the three, Dovewing is.

[@lemonpie_vanilla]

You probably wont see this but I wanted to say thank you anyway. This was one of the first warrior MAPS I saw. I joined this community like 6 months ago, my first warriorcats serie I read wasnt the into the wild ect but DOTC since that was available at my bookstore, and I absolutely cried my eyes out. After reading I searched for maps of DOTC, and found this masterpiece. It made me even cry more , dotc is so soso close to my heart and this is such a comfort map to me. So thank you, I mean it truly

Grey Wing was the saddest death in my opinion. He was such an amazing character, and I nearly cried when he died. He was by far my favorite character ever.

Always Gold works really well for their story, there's so many years other Radical Face songs that would work great with Warriors and I hope more people listen to their music as it's really amazing
