ScorchClan/Roleplay/Archive 14

(Guys, PLEASE put your signatures in a template, or shorten them, specifically Brams. There are huge code walls in source mode, making things crash and laggy) Windstorm pricked his ears as he heard his father stir, and turned to see him pricking his ears in interest at Willowstar. Windstorm stepped forward slightly, wondering if his mother was coming to. 21:40, May 10, 2016 (UTC)

Jaguarclaw sadly walked out to tell them Silverstorm had died. -Attack cat

Tipcloud arrived back in camp after her trip to the Moonwhatever and looked around the camp. "What the heck happened while I was gone?" she demanded. 21:28, 05/11/2016

Jaguarclaw walked to her and meowed sadly "Well Willowstar lost a life, and S-silverstorm died because of a badger. Commapaw tried her best, but she died anyway." He padded away. -Attack Cat

(@whiskers: I've put mine in a template) A quarter-moon passed since Wispheart's death (too lazy to do camp scene), and Cinderfire was still greatly upset. The dark gray queen was outside the nursery, her tail curled over her swollen belly. Smokeash was quite concerned for his mother. -- 07:51, May 12, 2016 (UTC)

(Alright, thanks a lot!) Waspflight patiently waited for his mate's revival, making not a noise nor a sound. Meanwhile, his son approached him before seating himself down beside the warrior, silent as well. Of course, Pantherpaw, being young and irresponsible, didn't seem to care that his mother had lost a life. 02:06, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstorm was out training Flashpaw. Eaglesoar lazed around camp: the brown tabby was bored. -- 07:42, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Jaguarclaw had just taken a small walk when he saw a small silver kit with black spots. He saw a large pool of blood. He noticed that the kit was the same shade of silver as Silverstorm and the spots looked like his. He realized that Silverstorm must have had the kit here and injured herself on purpose! He took the kit to the nursery. It was already 3 moons. He wondered how it had survived that long. He took it to Bramblingflower and asked "Please take care of this kit. It was Silverstorm's. Her name is Shadowkit." -Attack cat

Pantherpaw watched his older brother and father wait in silence, raising his head in pride. He seemed to shine with attractiveness and excellence...or at least in his mind. The snow leopard-like apprentice strutted off, lost in his own world. Who cared if his mother lost yet another life? She had others, she'd be perfectly fine. 21:36, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Cyclonepaw, unlike his brother, paced; the tabby tom was worried sick about his mother. Sge wasn't dead, was she? She had been sivk.. Oh mother, be alright! He finally perked up as she walked outside, but she didn't look as good as he'd hoped. 22:07, May 13, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowkit woke up, realizing she wasn't in the forest anymore. She was in a comfortable nest. She relaxed and went back to sleep. -Attack cat

Pantherpaw, remembering that his mentor had died, looked up at his mother expectingly. Good, now she can finally get me another mentor...took her long enough.Waspflight pricked his ears, racing to his leader's side. 23:07, May 15, 2016 (UTC)

Cinderfire dozed in the nursery: the queen was due to kit any day now. -- 06:41, May 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowkit woke up once more, and hopped to her feet. Where is my mother? She asked herself. She had found out that Jaguarclaw was her father, but who was her mother? -Attack cat

Cinderfire woke up to pains in her belly: yowling, she knew her kitting had begun. After a long and tiring kitting, just one kit was by her belly; a long-furred gray tom, just like his father. However, Cinderfire was weak, and had lost a lot of blood in her kitting. Smokeash sat by his mother. "You don't look all right, Cinderfire." His amber gaze was set on his younger brother. Cinderfire shook her head ever so slightly. Blackness was coming onto her vision: and Wispheart's voice seemed to echo in her ears... somehow, she knew this was her time. "His name is Emberkit, Smokeash... make sure you look after him well, my son." She then closed her eyes, falling into blackness: she'd gone to be with Wispheart once more. Smokeash moaned as his mother flopped to the ground. Emberkit mewled weakly as he felt his mother go still. -- 06:03, May 17, 2016 (UTC)

Miststorm casually groomed her dark gray pelt.Windstorm watched his father and mother, worry flashing in his hetero eyes. 21:36, May 17, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowkit wandered out the nursery, looking for her father. "Shadowkit, what do you want?" Jaguarclaw asked her. "Who is my mother? I haven't seen her." Jaguarclaw didn't know what he should say. Should he tell her Bramblingflower is her mom, to save her from grief? But she would find out some day. But the truth would cause her lots of grief. He wouldn't tell her, not now. "Never mind that," he told her. "You're not ready yet." Shadowkit walked away, looking disappointed. -Attack cat

Jaguarclaw left her and went back to investigate the tree where he found Shadowkit. He looked inside the tree and saw a pile of prey next to a kit slightly smaller than Shadowkit. It was solid silver. He rushed and decided to take the prey with him. He took her to the nursery and named her Sweetkit. -Attack cat

Pantherpaw flattened his ears as Mistcloud glared up at him, the she-cat's ears flattening in disliking as well. Sure, the apprentice had good looks, but...she wanted to bury him in the dirt like an ugly fern. There was his mother, just escaping death's grasp, and he was too busy floating around like he was the prettiest parade there ever was. 23:24, May 18, 2016 (UTC)

Sweetkit saw Shadowkit, and the two began to tussle around. "I'll get you yet!" Sweetkit meowled. -Attack cat

(just looked at archives: panther and cyclone are overdue to becoming warriors; need to let stormver know) Emberkit squirmed. It had been nearly a half-moon since his birth, and soon the tom-kit was expected to open his eyes. Flashpaw and Alderstorm returned to camp. "Alderstorm, I really need to master that move," Flashpaw complained, the tortoiseshell's tail flicking irritably as she entered the clearing. "I want to show Eaglesoar that I can be just as good at him at fighting!" -- 07:14, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

Jaguarclaw was Blossompaws mentor. He took her out, a good way away from the dried pool of blood and taught her some hunting moves.Shadowkit and Sweetkit were still tussling about, but now they calmed down and looked at each other clearly. They licked each other happily and continued to tussle. -Attack cat

Willowstar, her health steadily decreasing, knew she'd be dead in only a matter of hours. "ScorchClan cats," she called weakly. "I'm on my last legs, and soon, I will no longer be with you." She heard the gasps of surprise and shock. "There's a few things I'd like to do before I pass." 11:47, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

Jaguarclaw listened to Willowstar sadly and quietly. -Attack cat

Waspflight gazed up at his best friend, his leader, his mate, with a great look of worry, but he said nothing. This was her decision, not his. Windstorm flinched in surprise. Surely his mother would get better, no? Perhaps she was just still recovering from the loss of her last life? Pantherpaw zoned out, his ears twitching. 18:19, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

(personally, I don't think flame's active enough to lead sc, that is my only concern) Eaglesoar gasped. Nonono, you can't leave us, Willowstar! Sedgefrost's gaze was round as he stared at his leader. -- 19:59, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

(yeah, same. not sure what we'll do 'bout that) "Firstly," the she-cst said quietly, "I'd like to make my sons warriors. Cyclonepsw and Pantherpaw eill be reffered to as Cyclonefrost and Pathershade." (replace that, 'skers) She was far too exhaused to do a proper ceremony. "Secondly, I'd like to thank my mate, kits, and everyone for sticking with me through my life. Everyone has made such a difference." She drew in a breath, sjivering. "And…And it's up to…everyone to decide what to do next." With that, she rested her head on her paws, closing her brown eyes for the last time, and fell still. 20:31, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstorm watched silently as his leader fell still. Okay, now we have no leader... Great. Flashpaw's tail twitched in anxiety. -- 20:41, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

(I nominate Brams as tribute...but we should probably contact Flame about it first) Waspflight let out a mournful wail as his mate fell, while Windstorm dipped his head in sadness, his body shuddering as he mourned silently. Panthershade, meanwhile, grew fond of his name. 20:56, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

(I'm with Whiskers; if we can, let's try to get everyone on chat so we can figure out what to do next.) Cyclonefrost's blood went cold as his moyher fell still, moaning. Aspenfern worked to calm him down, while Ivyshade buried her face into Eagletalon's fur, wailing. The gray-and-white shecat's belly swung - she was carrying her first litter, their father being Eagletalon himself, and they were due in a short while. 21:08, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

(Agreed... and if I do end up taking over as leader (no promising anything), I know who my choice is.) -- 22:20, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

(alright then - throw a message on my talk when you're all ready, I'll be there) Aspenfern could do nothing - she had no love interest and no family that she knew of. Sighing, she worked to calm her former apprentice, glancing up at Willowstar's deceased body and shuddering. 23:12, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

Jaguarclaw had liked his leader very much, and gave a small wail of grief. He sadly nuzzled her and walked away. -Attack cat

Panthershade had attempted to act strong, like he didn't care, but in the end, he had failed. After moments of silence, the silver panther-like cat bowed his head in sadness, and was oddly quiet as he sunk into a deep depression. 01:16, May 22, 2016 (UTC)|}

(alright, Flame has said that we can move ahead, so it's all yours, Brams) Eagletalon knew that was somrthing...something just felt wrong. We must waiy for our new leader to step up...Oh Willowstar, who would you choose? (ooh, idea)  17:00, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

(okay then... I shall reveal who I'd like to succeed Willow...) Alderstorm's blue gaze was still set on his leader, but now... something felt different. The Clan was without a leader, yes... but someone would succeed Willowstar, right? The question was - who? (yep ;D) -- 19:48, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

(all in favor of alderstorm?) Ivyshade glanced around. "Uhh, guys...We need to take care of this, uh, issue of having no leader. We can't grieve forever." She met her tabby brother's gaze. "She was my mother, and I miss her just as much, if not more. But we need one to step up and take her place." She blinked a few times before turning her gaze to Alderstorm. "Personally, I'd like to see Alderstorm as our leader." 19:58, May 22, 2016 (UTC)

(he's my offering, yep... I have plans for smoke to die, so :/) Alderstorm jumped slightly as he heard Ivyshade call his name. He was - truth be told - surprised. ''M-me? Leader of ScorchClan... um, I don't know about that.'' Despite his uncertainty, he stood up. "If- If my Clan agrees, I will lead you." -- 04:04, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

(alright then...looks like we can move forward with this) The gray and white queen nodded her agreement. Across the camp, Cyclonefrost's head shot up. "I'll-I'll support you, Alderstorm." 09:47, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

"I'll support you too." Jaguarclaw stated, and nodded his respect. -Attack cat

"I'll support you!" Eaglesoar mewed from across camp. Beside the brown tabby, Sedgefrost nodded his agreement, the gray tabby's head bowed. Smokeash paused. His son, his only son, could become the leader of the Clan... He was a little worried for him, but he was also supportive. "I support," he mewed softly, dipping his head. Alderstorm dipped his head. "I'm honoured, Clanmates." -- 19:40, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

"So you're going to be leader?" asked Blossompaw, looking excited. She didn't understand the fullness of being leader, but was excited all the same. -Attack cat

"It's up to Alderstorm himself," the queen murmured. She sighed, pressing against her mate...even though he didn't love her back, he was her mate. 20:55, May 23, 2016 (UTC)

It seemed as though it was decided. Alderstorm knew that: now he would accept his fate. The gray-and-brown tabby shot another look at Willowstar's body, before moving around it and leaping onto the meetingrockthingy. (idk what it is but okay.) "Cats of ScorchClan, you have spoken. I will be the cat to succeed Willowstar." He was nervous, but he tried to hide it. "As soon as I can, I promise that I'll go to the Moon??? and receive my nine lives from StarClan." At that moment, the realization hit him: he'd have nine lives to give to his Clan. This was a huge thing to take on. -- 04:10, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

"You should go now. We can't keep living without a proper leader." Jaguarclaw meowed a few tail-lengths away. -Attack cat

Alderstorm's gaze rested on Jaguarclaw. "I will go soon, I promise." Turning to the rest of the Clan, he mewed: "At moonhigh, I will name my deputy, and then I will leave to receive my nine lives." He paused for a moment, looking sadly at Willowstar's body, before mewing, "Clan dismissed," and leaping off the rock. (i'll name the deputy this evening C: also the nine lives blog is up) -- 19:47, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

(c: i've added my pick, though i might add another) Aspenfern hoped that her apprentice would be alright, but she also couldn't get Alderstorm's leadership off her mind. ''Who'll his deputy be? Much as I've served this Clan the best I could, it'd never be me...Not in a million years.'' She glanced at Ivyshade and Eagletalon. ''Maybe it'll be Eagletalon, yeah. He's strong and would be a great pick..'' She promptly continued to search her Clan for their new deputy. 20:43, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

Redriver stared in sorrow. Her beautiful muzzle was flecked with grey and her eyes were dull. Her bones were outlined more sharply against her pelt. There might've been a time when she'd looked happy, but such times had left with her daughter. Pain was clear in her gaze as she looked up at Alderstorm. " You'll do well," the tabby said, drawing her tail closer to her body. " Pick your deputy wisely." Her heart was aching. S P Q R 23:40, May 24, 2016 (UTC)

At that comment, Alderstorm had thanked his former mentor: without Redriver, he certainly wouldn't be here now. Now, however, it was moonhigh, and Alderstorm was about to name his deputy. He'd thought about it, and settled on a cat: he presumed they wouldn't expect it, but he felt they deserved the role.

"Cats of ScorchClan, it is now moonhigh, and I will name my new deputy. I say this before StarClan, so that Willowstar - and our warrior ancestors - may approve my choice." The gray-and-brown cat paused for a moment - inhaling, exhaling - before flicking his tail towards a light brown cat near the front of the group. "Aspenfern, you have been a noble warrior of ScorchClan, and have trained several young cats. I would like you to serve as my deputy." -- 06:35, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

For a moment, Aspenfern just stood there, her eyes wide with surprise. Good gosh, me? "I-I'll do it, if that's what you'd like." What an honor..! Her eyes flecked with nervousness, she stepped forward, standing at the foot of the meetingwhatever. She tried not to fully reveal how nervous she was, but the fur on her tail fluffed out anyway - she couldn't have stopped that. 09:22, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

Sweetkit and Shadowkit, who had been standing beside their father, wandered off. They had grown bored and went to play somewhere else. Blossompaw was standing, and darted up quickly to Aspenfern to give her a lick, seeing how nervous she was. She darted back and sat down. -Attack cat

Alderstorm nodded in acceptance at his new deputy. "You will do great." Turning back to the rest of the Clan, he added: "I will go to receive my nine lives soon. While I am gone, Aspenfern will be left in charge of camp." He paused, before adding: "Clan dismissed," and jumping off the meetingtwhatever. -- 19:45, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

Aspenfern nodded, breathing in and out a few times. Deputy..an honor indeed.  21:38, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

Waspflight didn't say a single thing the entire time, rather he kept his head bowed as he recalled the last moments of his mate. He'd retire very soon, likely as soon as Alderstorm returned from his ceremony. Windstorm cheered quietly, sitting beside his mournful father. 23:19, May 25, 2016 (UTC)

A few moments later, Alderstorm departed for his nine lives ceremony with his medicine cat hin tow. (cont. in StarClan) Flashpaw was in no mood to go back into her den for the night. My mentor's going to be Clan leader! Smokeash, meanwhile, trailed off into the warriors' den for a rest. -- 04:10, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

Aspenfern glanced up at the moon, feeling pleased despite a tiredness growing in her eyes. She'd had a long day, and she felt like she should sleep - but she had a camp to watch. She watched Cyclonefrost gather his family to pay their respects to his mother and sighed. 09:18, May 26, 2016 (UTC)

By now, Shadowkit and Sweetkit were tussling again, until Jaguarclaw called them over, and they bounded toward him. "Um, kits, your mother is dead." He meowed grimly. "That is why I didn't want to tell you." He gazed at his kits, grief showing in his eyes. -Attack cat

There was a soft swishing noise at the camp entrance as Alderstorm - no, Alderstar now, he'd received his nine lives - returned from his ceremony. -- 01:05, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Aspenfern dipped her head to signify her welcome, lightly flicking her cinnamon-brown tail. "Greetings, Alderstar." 01:08, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar flicked his tail at Aspenfern in greeting. "Greetings to you too, Aspenfern. I trust that the Clan is fine?" -- 01:10, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Waspflight pricked his ears at the new leader, his eyes still dark and sunken from mourning for Willowstar. He quickly approached the new leader in a slight limp. "Sir...would you please show me mercy, and allow me to retire? I've lived too long of a pained life...I need my peace." 01:11, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar's gaze turned to Waspflight. "The new leader paused, thinking over the tom's words for a moment. "...So you're saying that you want to retire right now, Waspflight? If you're sure, I can do the ceremony now." -- 01:14, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

The black striped warrrior dipped his head. "Yes, please..." 01:16, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Aspenfern listened quietly, her ears twitching. "If he wishes, I won't argue." 01:19, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar nodded, and then leapt onto the Meetingwhatever to summon his Clan. Once they had gathered, the gray-and-brown tom silenced his Clan before speaking:

"First of all, I would like to mention that I have indeed received my nine lives, and that now, I am Alderstar." At this, a couple of cats cheered his name, but the new leader quickly quietened them, recognizing the need to do the ceremony for Waspflight. "However, Clanmates, that is not the only reason I have summoned you... I have just been told by Waspflight that he wishes... to join the elders. Waspflight, is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go to join the elders?"

"It is."

"I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest. Waspflight, you have served ScorchClan well for many moons, and we appreciate what you have done for us." He nodded at the black-striped tom in appreciation for his actions. -- 01:24, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

" Waspflight!" Redriver cheered, but she was staring at her former apprentice with pride. S P Q R 01:28, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Relief swam through Waspflight at once, and he let out a silent sigh. ''If only you could be here with me. Retired, relaxing.'' He gazed up at the sky and flattened his ears in sadness. Windstorm gazed at his father, eyes clouding with sadness. The elder would never be the same... 01:30, May 29, 2016 (UTC)

Blossompaw asked Jaguarclaw why he didn't tell them before. He stayed silent, clearly not paying attention. He was cleary reminiscing about the times he had with Silverstorm. -Attack cat

Aspenfern felt her heart tear at Waspflight's statement, the light cinnamon brown she-cat drooping her ears. They'd merely shoot back up in a moment - Ivyshade was moaning and her screams reached Aspenfern's ears. "Well, that's a sure sign." She turned her green gaze towards Eagletalon, who didn't move from his position outside the warriors' den. He didn't love her, did he...? She flattened her ears as Ivyshade screamed again. 17:29, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Ivyshade's screams reached Redriver's ears. Her eyes flew wide open in alarm. " Is that Ivyshade? Someone has to help her!" S P Q R 17:47, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

"I'm almost sure she's fine." Aspenfern flattened her ears again as the queen screamed. "But it'll be interesting to see what they look like." 18:04, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Redriver snorted and rolled her eyes. " I'm going in there with her. I won't bother her if she can handle it, but I've seen many births," the older queen huffed and trotted into the nursery. S P Q R 18:59, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Aspenfern shrugged. Meanwhile, in the nursery, Ivyshade had already kitted two of her kits - one mackerel tabby, one dark brown. But she wasn't yet done, there was something left in there... 19:23, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar's ears pricked, the leader still sitting on the Meetingwhatever. He'd wait for Ivyshade's kitting to finish, before he'd continue with what he'd planned to do in front of the Clan. After all, new kits to the Clan were important - after all, he had kits of his own. -- 19:35, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Redriver eyed the queen, making sure her kits were suckling. She stayed silent, only going to interfere if Ivyshade was in serious trouble. S P Q R 19:48, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Sighing, Ivyshade kitted her last kit without a word. It was a dark gray tabby tom...he held a bit of both Willowstar and Waspflight, his chest a plume of white, the rest of his body holding Willowstar's gray fur and Waspflight's black tabby stripes. The queen glanced over at her mate, who stared at her innocently and without a single ounce of fatherly love. 20:39, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Redriver left without a glance at the queen, plagued by memories of her own children. S P Q R 21:09, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Jaguarclaw still wasn't paying attention, and he nearly walked into Ivyshade. "Sorry! I-I was distracted," he said. "Are you okay?" he asked her, worried if he had hurt the kits. -Attack cat

The queen nodded, but she kept her gaze locked with Eagletalon's, rage exploding into her gaze. He didn't love me, did he? She sighed and curled her tail around her three kits. Let's see...I think the mackerel will be named Sagekit, and the brown one...Bramblekit, how 'bout?  21:54, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

Windstorm slid into the nursery, helping Waspflight inside with Panthershade following behind them. The spotted tom glared at the father of his sister's kits, lurching at him, only to be held back by Windstorm. "Let go, let me skin that worthless goat!" Windstorm flattened his ears at his younger brother. "He isn't worth it, Panthershade." The brothers and father neared their family member, gazing down curiously at the new additions. 00:45, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Eagletalon flattened his ears as he heard the spotted tom's snarl. ''Well. I did, for a short time... He narrowed his eyes But it was a short time, and when I stopped, it was already too late..'' Bramblekit, meanwhile, felt her mother's warm fur beside her, along with two other damp-feeling things. The queen's tongue rasped over her dark tabby fur, making her feel safe. Shifting, she continued her suckling. Ivyshade had named her kits quickly, and flicked her tail while saying their names. "Sagekit, Bramblekit, Flintkit." 02:27, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar's tail flicked as Ivyshade stopped kitting. Now, he could do what he wanted to do. "It is great to welcome new kits into the Clan," he meowed to the cats remaining in the clearing. "It is also great to welcome new warriors... and I believe two young cats are ready for their ceremomies. Flashpaw, Blossompaw... step forward both of you."

When the two she-cats stepped forward, Alderstar looked down at them both for a moment. Understandably, he was nervous - this being the first warrior ceremony he would conduct. "I, Alderstar, leader of ScorchClan, ask my warrior ancestors to look down on these two apprentices. They have proven themselves worthy to be warriors, and under you I commend them in their turn... Blossompaw, Flashpaw, do you vow to defend the warrior code and to protect this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do!"

"Then by the power of StarClan... I give you your warrior names. Blossompaw, from this moment you will be known as Blossomheart. StarClan honors your enthusiasm and skill, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ScorchClan. And Flashpaw..." Alderstar's gaze turned to his apprentice for a moment as he spoke, "...you shall be known as Flashdusk. StarClan honors your compassion and diligence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ScorchClan." Once the words were said, the Clan broke into cheers. -- 03:31, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Blossomheart looked a little overwhelmed, but she happily took in her moment. She had dreamed so long of this. ''I'm finally a warrior! ''She thought proudly. -Attack cat

Flintkit tried to stretch, his kitten-soft fur now dry, and brushed another furry thing. 02:12, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Later, Flashdusk sat vigil at the camp entrance. Emberkit slept in the nursery, the gray tabby's flank rising and falling softly with each breath. He'd grown well in the two moons since his birth. -- 06:16, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Sagekit flicked her tabby tail, her long, kitten-soft fur brushing her sister's short brown tabby pelt. The three young kits were due to open their eyes any day now. 11:11, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Tipcloud's ears flattened, unused to Alderstar's voice from the leader's perch. It hadn't been long since Willowstar had died... In fact, the medicine cat was unaware the leader had been on her last life. Today, however, the Clan had welcomed two new lives; Rosestorm and Redcloud's kits, Hollykit and Foxkit. Rosestorm was impatiently awaiting the day they opened their eyes so they could adventure and learn about their Clan, despite them just having been born.

Tipcloud sighed, thinking of the panicked faces of the new mothers when their kits sneezed for the first time. ''They all think it's greencough. Of course it's not- it's a sneeze, you fuzzbrained hormonal she-cat!'' She flicked her tail as Redcloud came up to her. "Can I help you, Redcloud?" she asked. The tom looked back at the nursery, then to Tipcloud. "Is it normal for queens to have such small litters?" he asked, worry shining in his blue-green eyes. Tipcloud nodded her head. "Yes, though the litter falls slightly below average size. Nothing's wrong with that. That just means you'll have a very strong son and a very strong daughter. More milk available, more time to give to them... Everything will be fine with both mum and kits," she assured. Redcloud exhaled with his eyes closed. "I was worried something was wrong with Rosestorm," he said. The medicine cat sat and ran a paw over her face. "Nope. Perfectly fine." 20:36, 06/1/2016

Blossomheart had always had a crush on Windstorm, but could never work up the courage to tell him. So now, after her dream of becoming a warrior had come true, she had a sudden impulse to tell him. She padded over, looking nervous. "Um, Windstorm, I....I want to tell you something. I...I love you. I just wanted to say." She sat down, feeling a warm prickle in her paws.-Attack cat

Bramblekit stretched and blinked her green eyes. Sagekit, meanwhile, flicked her long-furred tabby tail, trying to encourage her siblings to play with her. "Hey, c'mon Flintkit!" She stared at her dark tabby brother, watching him sit beside Ivyshade. "I'll come when I'm ready," he murmured quietly. 22:06, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Windstorm blinked in both surprise and confusion. Of all cats, why him? He was super chill and laid back, not at all exciting or very handsome, like Panthershade like to call himself. Surely, a she-cat would be more interested in him rather than simple Windstorm. He shifted awkwardly. "Love, that's...a strong word," 01:53, June 2, 2016 (UTC)

Blossomheart dipped her head, too nervous to look in his eyes. "I know, but that's the only word for it. I like how you're calm and quiet, and I see how you put up with your little brother, just like Silverstorm did for me." She looked up, and sadness burned in her eyes for her sister. "I love you." -Attack cat

Bramblekit calmly wondered curiously about her father. Ivyshade had never mentioned her father before, so who was it? She walked around, wondering who her father was. She did think that she looked a little like Eagletalon... 02:25, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Blossomheart shifted uneasily. "I know what you're thinking. You think that maybe Panthershade would be better, but that's not true. You saw how he acted when your mother lost a life. He didn't care! He's too arrogant for his own good! I like you better," -Attack cat

Aspenfern flicked her tail, holding her guard. ...What's up with our neighbors, I wonder?  12:07, June 3, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowkit and Sweetkit were very excited. There's less than a moon until our apprentice ceremony! thought Shadowkit. -Attack cat

Aspenfern exited camp, wandering around the territory quietly. She silently wondered about the FlameClan cats, flicking her tail. 20:46, June 6, 2016 (UTC)

Blossomheart shifted again. She felt prickles of unease now. She licked her fur, not looking at his eyes any more. -Attack cat|}

(im so tired i cant feel my legs) Redriver sat alone, in a corner, as usual. Seeing the kits with their families made her heart ache for a family she'd never had. I need to get out, as slowly as she could, the once-beautiful she-cat exited camp. S P Q R 00:56, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

Windstorm scooted away slightly, although he felt bad if he hurt her feelings by this. He just didn't feel comfortable, he wasn't good with...feelings and stuff. "Look, you're a new warrior, you don't...know me. I've never even hunted with you. Surely, you don't feel love for me, it's just a crush. I think...you best get to know me before you do anything rash." 02:06, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar leapt up on the Meetingwhatever, calling a meeting. He waited for the Clan to gather. Shadowkit and Sweetkit's apprentice ceremonies were today... and he'd just decided who he wanted to give as the two young cats' mentors.

Once they gathered, the gray-and-brown tom flicked his tail as he started the meeting: "Today, two young cats are ready to become apprenticed to the Clan. Shadowkit, Sweetkit, step forward."

When they reached the foot of the Meetingwhatever, looking down on them, he resumed his speech. "You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to become apprentices. From now on, you will be Shadowpaw and Sweetpaw." Alderstar paused at this, letting the Clan cheer the two cats' new names, before starting again: "Your mentors are cats, although you are their first apprentices, that I feel will do the job well... Shadowpaw, you will be mentored by Windstorm, and Sweetpaw, Sedgefrost will be the cat that trains you in your apprenticeship." Sedgefrost's ears pricked in surprise. Humbled, he padded up to Sweetpaw, and touched his nose gently to hers. -- 04:19, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

"I...I understand. I do want to know you. Could we at least be friends?" she asked him, not showing any signs of hurt feelings, though inside she felt quite different. ''Why do this to me? Why StarClan? Why? ''she thought. ''I guess he's right. It is just a crush. Do I really love him? ''she asked herself. ''Of course I do! He'll see soon enough. ''And with that thought, Blossomheart padded over to the new apprentices. -Attack cat|}

"Yea, friends is fine." The tom scratched at his ear with a hind leg before looking up in surprise. Him, mentor? Windstorm dismissed it as a repayment for his mother's death, more or less sympathy from the leader. But he said nothing, and touched his nose to his apprentice's. 23:32, June 7, 2016 (UTC)

After touching his nose to Windstorm's, she began to bounce in excitement. ''I wish Silverstorm could see me now! ''he thought. -Attack cat

The black-striped tom nodded towards the apprentice's den. "Go make your nest." Miststorm stretched out her hind legs before yawning, twitching her whiskers in utter boredom. She almost missed her life as a rogue, minus the parts of her almost getting killed. Clan life was so...boring, more or less, pampering. There were quite a few days where she just felt like dying of boredom. 20:28, June 9, 2016 (UTC)|}

Shadowpaw nodded, and then ran off to the den to find a good spot. She looked very excited. -Attack cat

Growing a bit hungry, Miststorm rose to her paws, glancing at the fresh kill pile. How boring, it was full...sighing, she approached it to pluck out a mouse. 00:58, June 12, 2016 (UTC)

Sweetpaw waited for her mentors order. -Attack cat

Miststorm studied the pitiful dead creature between her claws. How sad it was, so worthless, so easy to kill...She snorted softly, dropping the mouse before laying down, still bored. She was missing her loner life more and more. 19:22, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Sedgefrost flicked his tail. "Seeing as your sister's sorting out her nest, you can make yours as well," the gray tabby mewed, flicking his tail towards the apprentices' den. Alderstar watched the new apprentices and their mentors with interest, fairly sure that he had made the right decisions for mentors. ''They're both doing well... I hope to see them continue it that way.'' -- 19:23, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Riverbranch wandered over to the fresh kill pile, gazing up at the sky before looking down to select a mouse to eat. He nodded as he did, before wandering back to his den. 19:27, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

The adventure, the risk, the fun, all of it was making Miststorm nostalgic. Clan life was like the life of a kittypet, nothing but...well, nothing. Her life consisted of patrol, eat, sleep. No action, no interaction, nothing fun. 19:32, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Redriver burped (like a boss). S P Q R 20:12, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Waspflight decided to stretch his old bones, so took his first walk as an elder. He gazed around, looking at the flora and recalling his younger years with his dear mate. How he missed Willowstar...he was actually looking forward to joining her. And his wish was about to come true. He was jumped by a massive dog, loose from its twoleg, and killed. 20:15, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Aspenfern pricked her ears and her eyes widened as she heard growling and roaring. "Oh no, no, no..." 20:18, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Miststorm raised her head. Oh my gosh, action, finally! She raced out of camp and attacked the dog with everyone else. 20:20, June 13, 2016 (UTC)

Alderstar pricked his ears, and ordered multiple warriors out of camp to help. The leader himself joined them as well. Smokeash, whose name had been called, went out of camp. -- 03:50, June 14, 2016 (UTC)
