Could we get any information about crowfeather and his family or story? Does he go on the journey in arc 2 at all?
He does! Although, he's not the prophecy cat, that would be his mentor Gorseflame. He tags along because Gorse got him as an apprentice like a week before the journey and he doesnt want him to fall behind on training. Or worse, be trained by someone else.
His family, however, is an...interesting group.
You've got his father, Darksong, a well respected deputy who retires just before the clans leave, and survives til just after onestar takes over. You've got his mother, Ashfoot, daughter of Shadowclan Elder Ashfeather (Ashfur in the books, the one who helps yellowfang), and also a respected windclan deputy.
There's his littermates, Eaglepaw and Hillpaw, who are the first to die from the poisoned rabbits, and who don't live who see their brother come home. There's Downkit too, the older sibling who died less than a moon from becoming an apprenticr.
Then, there's his mates. Well, two crushes and tepwo mates. During the journey, he has a crush on both Feathertail and Stormfur, and they are how he figured out he was Bi. Stormfur, however, dies to the Sharptooth, and Feathertail is a lesbian who stays in the mountains, so their off the table. Instead, he ends up with Leafpool after bonding with her during her work curing the poisoned rabbit situation.
This, of course, ends when Thunderclan is attacked and Cinderspark, Leafpool's auntie, dies, devastating her. Little do they know that that day was the concievement day, give or take.
While Leafpool is pregnant and trying to hide it, Crow is in Windclan being mated to a cat he doesnt love due to clan pressure. His father has just died, and his siblings not long before, leaving him as the only child of two deputies, one from a well respected windclan line. So, he's mated to Nightcloud. However, they struggle to concieve, so when Leafpool shows up at the border and tells him shes pregnant, he makes a plan. And Leafpool adds on to the plan with an old story she heard.
So, when the kits are born and old enough to walk, she and squilf take half of them to the border, in late leafbare. They get them to the border, hand over the three they agreed on, and Leafpool leaves to go nurse the remaining three.
Crowfeather tries to walk his three back to camp, but two of them collapse from the cold, and he's forced to leave them behind as he rushes back to camp to save the remaining one. When cats ask where he got the kit from, he says its his and nightcloud's, cant you see the kit, its as pitch black as they are. Cats are, of course, suspicious of this, but whenever anyone asks after that, crowfeather just looks away with the shake of a head and sorrowful look.
Part of it is true, of course. He grieves his kits, naturally, but some of it is just to keep cats off his back. Meanwhile, in Thunderclan, Squirrelflight acts distraught as her kits went missing. This is pinned on Hawkfrost rather fast, but that's a different story.
From here, i'm not sure how exactly things go, especislly not from crow's perspective. In the books, he's emotionally and physically abusive to his wife and son, which tumblr user Bonefall has made some very good posts recently detailing the extent of. I want to keep this. Somehow, some way, he ends up abusive and outright bitter.
One thing i know for sure, though, is that breezepelt does not follow this behaviour when he has kits himself. By the time he's had kits, he's learnt, and gotten better, and gotten help. He is a good mate to Heathertail (who is not even vaguely related to him) and an adoring father to his daughters.
Nightcloud also gets a good ending, too, as she ends up leaving and publically calling out crowfeather for his actions, and shames windclan for letting it happen. She gets a genuine apology from Harestar for letting his actions slide. I'm not sure if she leaves windclan for a time, but eventually, she ends up with Leafpool. Its shaky, at first, of course it is, thats her ex-husbands ex-wife, but eventually she genuinely falls for her, and all is well.
Oh, and breezepelt doesnt hate his siblings as an adult. They get on alright, even his similarly formerly evil littermates. He's also some level of nonspeaking/mute as an adult, as he lost his powers.
Crowfeather's fate, though? I really dont know. Public shaming, for sure. Perhaps he sees what hes done and apologises, perhaps hes exiled entirely, its a tricky subject.

when did you discover lorien legacies?? and whats one of your favourite books??
Not that long, actually, around this January. My school library had a couple books from the series; PoS, RoS, FoT and UaO. I started the Power of six not knowing I skipped a whole book.
In the series, I mostly liked RoS and FoT, I will not take critique on these two. RoN, FoF and UaO are close behind. The first two were kinda spoiled for me :/

This is a little head cannon/What if Macaque had more original powers, a little more Starry Night dreamlike powers leaning into the more nurturing kind, you know, the moon and sun kind of powers? 🌙☀️
Maybe in the past, he was like a therapy friend to Wukong, someone he could really be himself with, vent, and tell his secrets without being judged in the safety of his own dreams. Someone he can truly trust, and that was Macaque.
Skip to Redemption Ark for Mac
Now he's a therapy friend to the whole MK team! (Against his will) They cuddle, pet, and vent to him with their problems. He's like one of Sandy's therapy cats, just bigger and grumpier.😾💕✨ he just has this way with people I guess
Okay, this is how it starts: Macaque and Wukong's first encounter was in a dream.
Wukong would not shut up about the pretty demon in his crazy dreams, often to his sworn brothers; he talked about all the fun and crazy adventures he'd have, the long meaningful conversations and jokes, and the occasionally moving pictures of otherworldly strong magical humans with sparkly eyes and spiky hair who wield giant weapons that shoots Fire called anime, and that this had been going on for a few months now.
This annoyed and concerned them; they think it's a demon trying to take over the Monkey King's mind or trying to brainwash him somehow, so Azure Lion and the Sworn Brothers all brainstormed together to devise a plan to somehow confront this tricky dream demon. Wukong doesn't want the fun dreams to end or scare off this other celestial monkey, so he decides to talk to his friend in his dreams. Wukong casually brings up the idea that the macaque should visit Flower Fruit and meet his sworn brothers! Macaque of course hesitates, not sure of the idea of traveling to an unknown island and meeting The Monkey King's questionable choice of sworn brothers, but of course, Wukong, sad and a bit offended, but he doesn't give up.
He decides to bring upon the Ultimate Weapon, begging and whining until Macaque crumbles and gives in, which eventually does. Mac reluctantly agrees to travel over to FFM in disguise, just to be safe he tells Wukong he'll be there. Within a month, Wukong couldn't be more excited; he was like a little kid waiting for Christmas day!
So this is what kinds of powers I think he should have.
😴 the first pic is crossing over to other people's dreams and making their experience life-like he has illusion magic so this makes sense to me. Wukong and macaque would prank the Brotherhood or play tags and hide and seek in their brother's dreams. 🌸The second pic is the soothing ability to calm one's nerves if they pet or cuddle him like a therapy cat,🐈 Wukong would groom him for hours to calm his nerves. now come copes with food🍑🍔🍭
🌸🎶I saved the best one for last the cute/sad little head Cannon I have
At the end of every dream Mac visits they would end it by dancing to music Mac would bring from the future laughing and stumbling while wukong slowly wakes up, wukong has always gone to bed early But now he goes even earlier to bed. Wukong always thought he was the luckiest monkey in the world he gets to have two Adventure and one of them is with his prettiest best friend Macaque 😚✨the monkey of his dreams.
🌸 Wukong couldn't truly dream of a world without his bestest friend🥰✨
