ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

After placing in the sticks and wrapping it up with the weeds securely , he looked down at the tom "well....we can't just ...leave that paw there...it probably won't do you any good...might I suggest ..cutting it off?...that's the only idea I have " he meowed.

.....

Hmm....odd. "how so? Who was the apprentice ?" he asked as he cleaned out the wound and placed the goop in it. Just in case he put some cobwebs on it as well...



"it was she-cat named tigerpaw she calls herself." wildpelt said.

[Queenie]

Ravenkit--paw didn't celebrate his apprenticeship ceremony as some of his peers, he merely stayed silent and begrudgingly made his way over to his assigned mentor. He didn't know much about Hawkmist besides his name, and that was an achievement in itself. He wasn't giddy on the idea of touching noses with anyone so he was slow in raising his head to face his new mentor

Bravekit

--

Softbriar's mood was lifted at the announcement that they had been given an apprentice. They were still annoyed by the previous interruptions by their clanmates but they wore a smile when they approached Eveningpaw to greet her. "Eveningpaw, I'm excited to work with you!" They spoke in a low voice to not bring attention to themself, they'd had enough interruptions so they planned to simply touch noses and sit silently for the rest of the meeting.

Queenie


Eveningpaw looked at her mentor with admiring eyes. She couldn't believe that she was finally an apprentice. She began sputtering words out, "I- Oh my- I won't let you down. I mean I don't think I will. I'll do my best. I mean I'll be the best... Not to say Im better than any cat of course. I'll just..." She began panting when she found herself out of breath and rambling continuously. "Sorry. I- I don't know when to shut up." She mumbled, slightly embarrassed. She moved to touch noses with Softbriar. "I will make you proud of me though." She added swiftly.

[MagicCat99]

He stared back at her for a few heartbeats, a bit dazed at the retort; he hadn't actually expected her to do anything about it.

In his stupor he took a step backwards, fury quickly growing in him, but he couldn't find it in himself to speak just yet, his tongue twisted in knots, it seemed.
Smokekit laid back down and curled in a ball. The short moment of bravery seemed to have disappeared. She curled her fluffy tail around her snout, her ears perked as she wanted to know if Thornkit would say something.

[chaton]

Ploverspot padded into the clearing, an eye and an ear grasped in his mouth. He'd just finally managed to make his way back to camp, making it more complicated in order to make sure that that rabid shadowclan cat wasn't following him back. He had to check on Myrtlepaw and possible report in to Duskstar... But his apprentice would need his gift first and the ageing tom made a b-line for him as soon as he spotted the russet fur of Myrtlepaw. Slowing down he sat down, announcing his presence to the apprentice and dropping the ear and eye. "Myrtlepaw. I'm back... And safe I would say. Got a scratch here and there... but nothing major." With that he pulled the apprentice into his chest and began cleaning his ears carefully. He wanted to make sure that there was no scratch on the apprentice at all, no matter if it was from a bramble or a branch, Myrtle was not allowed to have any scratches. He didn't want to kill another cat nor did he want his mother to beat someone to the ground.

Myrtlepaw brightened up at the sight of his dear Ploverspot, seeing him return mostly unscathed was an even greater relief. The apprentice smiled as the elderly tom came over to greet him as well, who he soon noticed to be carrying a couple of... strange objects. Once dropped, Myrtle had recognised them as an ear and an eye of a cat, which unsettled him ever so slightly, though he could at least guess where they came from. Before he could question those, Plover had pulled the apprentice into a soft embrace as he began to lick tentatively, seemingly in a protective manner. Myrtle didn't mind much, in fact, he found this quite comforting. Purring slowly, the russet furred tom was just about to let himself fall asleep in the comfort of an older cat once again before he remembered the two strange objects from earlier. "So... why... why did... you... bring... an ear... and... an... eye... back... with you?"



At his admittance Doepaw was shocked. She didn't know that it was this bad and the young apprentice really wanted to get her friend's mind away from worrying about her mentor. What did normal apprentices do? Oh! She remembered. They fought like.. play fighting. She'd never got to experience that but... maybe it would be a good idea.. "So... I... won't... cause... you...any... harm," she said slowly with her stutter and then slowly walked around Myrtlepaw, trying to get a good idea of his location and where he was in accordance to her and as she finished walking in a circle around him she stopped and then slowly leaned back on her hindpaws and then jumped over him trying to catch the tail that she heard flicking back and forth. Now her own tail was flicking back and forth on the ground to, lashing up and then down and side to side. She was excited for this play fight, something she'd never experinced and she so hoped she wouldn't screw it up. Missing the tail she turned around and then jumped up on his back, her smaller body not bothering him at all, and she just laughed... She actually laughed, for one of the first times in her life.. Maybe being her wasn't all too bad.

Myrtlepaw watched curiously as Doepaw circled him, unsure of what she had planned. It was only until her tiny figure had jumped over him that he knew what was happening now. A play fight! This could be fun. The russet furred tom tried to move out of the way of her grasp, but Doepaw had already jumped and landed on his back, securing a nice grip as she hung on. Quickly thinking of what to do, Myrtlepaw briefly leaned his body back at an angle, causing the other apprentice to slip off and land back on the ground. Once freed of her grasp, the russet furred tom quickly spun and pinned her down lightly. He couldn't help but smile, this was so fun so far, he had never expected to just enjoy himself so much. "What... can... you do... now? You... are... trapped... you... will not... escape..!" His voice was a friendly taunting, all his past worries seemingly gone now that he let himself relax for once.

[Arie]

Flintspirit was curled up in his nest, lightly sleeping. Thankfully his mind was clear, clearer than it had been in a long time. He'd been getting better amounts of sleep recently, and had even taken to getting short naps in between duties, as while he was sleeping better, his nights were still interrupted by dreams and the slightest rustling of noises.
But what interrupted his sleep this time was a big noise and then suddenly a small lump of fur crashing into his side. Flintspirit's head shot up in surprise and he glanced down, instantly recognizing the lump as Doepaw. Was she crying? He knew she'd gone out hunting with another warrior earlier, to which he had been grateful for... but... looks like it didn't end out too well? "Hey hey... what's wrong.. what-" Flintspirit then noticed the blood dripping down her face, and his eyes narrowed. He followed the trail to her head, where it seemed like the skin was broken. But only in a small area. "Hey Doepaw... what happened? Please calm down." He began licking the blood from her wound, hoping to keep it clean and stop the bleeding. This was just a wonderful way for him to wake up from his nap....

Arie



Doepaw kept her head pressing against his fur as she felt his calming licks against her face as he slowly cleaned the wound that the woodpeckers, the damned woodpeckers had caused. She was sniffling, crying, sobbing, everything at once as he asked what had happened... She had to explain but she really really didn't want to. But as the blood stopped flowing into her eyes she slowly blinked, and the feeling of the blood slowly left her blind pear green eyes. "I... I.. was...out...climbing," she sniffled, only able to say very few sentences as the pain kept bothering her and making her whimper every now and then. "I...did...climb... the tree." That she was proud of, because it was something the other apprentices always talked about... and now she had tried it but didn't exactly see the joy in it. "I... I...." she struggled with this part, so much her body had began shaking even tucked into the comfort of Flintspirit's fur. "Woodpecker..," was all she whispered as she saw the bird in front of her, the vicious beak that had literally made a hole in her head. She knew.it would take a while for her to be comfortable with being outside of camp again, even just in an open space. Still shaking her head now begun shaking starting the blood flow again that had just been stemmed by her mentor's comforting licking and cleaning of the wound. "Woodpecker..." she repeated in a tiny whisper.

[teddy.]

He sat his plump flank down, listening to him with a tilt of his chubby cheeked face
"Aye, you'd be right," Sugarpaw meowed, licking at his paw to wash his rounded ear. He was ignoring his fluffy tail that held enough twigs in it a bird could build its nest amongst the orange fur.
"I've been uh, a wooded area? 'Star kept going on about how it was their territorys but it smelt of nothin' but rouge," Sugarpaw couldn't help but scoff. "Anyway that's the place I've been ta,"

[Sweetie]

Mumblefoot smiled, softly nudging his side,So I see you were pretty hungry, hm? What's your favorite type of prey? I personally like thrushes the most, but I like voles equally as much. she needs, taking another bite of the small morsel.

"Ooo! I LOVE thrushes!" Owlwatcher said between bites excitedly. He was actually stoked that Mumblefoot liked thrushes as well. "They are just the best!" Gulping down the vole and allowed the molly to take her turn on the prey.

[Dark Flame]

Though Hawkmist was surprised at given an apprentice, he was even less surprised at the kit- apprentice's - attitude. Just trying to avoid work. Like every useless being.

When Ravenpaw was slow to face him, Hawkmist touched noses with him in a split second, trying not to spit in disgust. "Alright. I don't like to see any slackers. I don't care if you're weak, injured, or just lazy, I will force you out of your den if I have to and get you outside of camp. Understood?" he snapped.

The sudden temper was just like him. He wouldn't be content with this apprentice if they were just as needy as a kittypet, or as vile as a rogue. They would need to stay in line if he were to get at least a glimmer of pleasure.

[Mango]

One...Two...Three...Four...Five! Just so his daughter could have a headstart. Chuckling he slowly chased after Ivorykit. "I'm gonna getcha!
He said in a sing like voice. His bright eyes trying to track the kit that was zooming all over the place.
(I’ll just assume they finished the game after the ceremony)
Ivorypaw let out a squeal of excitement as she started to flea running around the nursery. She thought it was a bit weird, running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off, but if she had to act like a fool to fit in, she’d do it.

[Willowfern]

"That's good," Moonpaw sighed in relief. She smiled at Owlfeather. "Thanks a lot! I needed that encouragement." She mewed happily. "Hey, you wanna do something later together when you have time?"
“Sure!” Owlfeather replied,”It’s not like I’ll be busy or anything,” he admitted, he had no apprentice of his own, so he obviously had time to kill.

[Fathom~]

Swiftwing watched the new apprentices, who most of them were bouncing along rather excitedly. She was kinda hoping for an apprentice of her own, but was happy for everyone. She looked around the clearing feeling rather bored, hoping for something fun to do. She was bored out of her MIND!

[Sorrow]

Darkcloud padded away from the Clan and padded out of the camp,only to return moments later with Wildpelt.

[ Ombre Party ]

Slowly, carefully, Minnowthorn placed one paw on top of Sweetpaw's head in an attempt to get the younger she-cat to calm down. "Sure, we can hunt," she said. "If you can behave during the rest of Duskstar's meeting. I know you're excited, but right now we need to be quiet and listen." It was going to take everything she had not to snap at Sweetpaw by the tim this was over.

[jackal blackout]

they went into the warriors den and they hung out together. Breezefur

[Polaris]

Mosskit sat in the back of the nursery, grumbling to herself as she watched the other kits play. Why are they playing when they could be training? She started to groom her ginger pelt, determined to do something useful. Her brown eyes continued to watch the other kits. She sighed, knowing deep down she wished she ad someone to play with and be her friend. She shook her pelt again, looking at the ground, not wanting to watch the happy kits anymore.

[Puddle~]

Following suit of his apprentice, the warrior sat down and got comfortable, knowing the meeting might last a little while longer. "Yep, that's Rogueland Woods," Sycamorerain explained, giving the apprentice a moment to add the name to his memory. "It's owned by ThunderClan, but, as you can tell by the smell, it's a prime hang-out area for rogues." He paused, waiting to see if his apprentice had any more questions.

S-oft

[Pluto]

[ Slushie ]

With a frown. Sweetpaw let out a sigh, unable to stop herself. She scooted away from the warriors paw on her head because it just wasn’t comfortable for her paw to be on Sweetpaw’s head like that. “Okay.” She sighed, but she knew she wouldn’t even really listen to the rest of what she had to say. She was too excited and had too many thoughts running through her head to be able to actively listen. In fact, she could barely listen to her mentor as it was. She got through a couple heartbeats quietly before she was unable to ask another question. “What’s it like? Hunting.” Sweetpaw asked Minnowthorn quietly, barely managing to keep her voice from squealing with excitement.

[teddy.]

Bonesmudge shifted through the bushy entrance to the camp with a ruffle of thick dirt-covered fur. Browns, grey, greens... a rainbow of muck smudged and tainted the once white fur of she-cat. Bi coloured eyes locked onto one even uglier cat, but his one in particular wasn't ugly on the outside, but she attached the negative trait more so to his personality. "Oi, Ratwhorl!" The Molly called out, lounging over as she dropped a freshly murdered squirrel off into the prey pile, "Ah, I see Lionwhisker still hasn't fixed your face..." She said teasingly, not an ounce of menace to her words.

Darkcloud padded through the den entrance and sat down next to Wildpelt and licked his face in affection. "Are you hungry?" she asked.

[RAT KING]

Ratwhorl had been busy grooming himself in the clearing, and he had one of his back legs stuck in the air as he was drawing his barbed tongue over his flanks. Pausing as he heard his name called, he slowly turned his head towards his Clanmate. His yellow-amber eyes were effectively blank as he stared at Bonesmudge. He didn't laugh at her joke nor did it entirely register to him as one. "...What in all of StarClan's name do you want?" He grumbled roughly.
S-oft

[jackal blackout]

"yeah, lets go get some food." wildpelt said. Breezefur

[teddy.]

Starclan, why did he always look like he's been paralysed since birth? She half expected a fly to land on his wide unmoving eyeball. "Jeeeeez! Can I not say hello to my friend?" she fluttered her eyelashes with a snort, plopping herself besides him. "We havent talked much since apprenticehood, even if your dimwitted backside didn't get much choice but to socialise with me." She muttered, starting to groom her coat. It was in less effort to remove the dirt build up and more to shed her winter coat. "I just wanted to check up on you, since your brother isn't here to do that anymore," Bonesmudge commented idly.


{ Salt }

[RAT KING]

The sandy brown tom slowly blinked exactly one time has he took a moment to absorb her words. This wasn't new, Ratwhorl had always been that stiff, even as a young kitten, though it wasn't that he had any kind of disability, he just didn't care for socializing and wanted as little of it as possible. "I don't need anybody to check up on me, you know," he replied, giving the dirty-pelted white she-cat a irritable side glance. "I'm doing just fine on my own." Not that he'd noticed really, but his meow was oddly harsh even for him, simply from disuse. He didn't talk unless he was spoken to.
S-oft

[Willowfern]

Owlfeather padded past Ratwhorl, another cat who was hoping to get chosen as deputy, he decided it would be good to be nice to him, even if Ratwhorl wouldn’t be as nice, after all, who knows, Ratwhorl might be the next deputy!
“Hello there!” Owlfeather meowed, padding up to the tom,”You’re Ratwhorl right? I’m Owlfeather! You are Ratwhorl right? How are you? Doing good?” Owlfeather rattled this off in a span of thirty seconds, he may not seem like it, but Owlfeather was a real social butterfly, even though those who knew his past may not believe it.

Salt (Sorry about Owly, he is a bit excited to talk today, he’s been acting all one sentence a post for a while now, so I have kinda dumped that on Ratwhorl, sorry in advance lol)

[teddy.]

Bonesmudge bumped her head into his shoulder, more in a way to encouraging him to talk then a show of any affection; Bonesmudge wouldn't let herself be seen dead mated with a tom like him! She wouldn't turn up the offer if the he-cat became a she-cat though. She glanced to Owlfeather, her bi-coloured eyes narrowed sharply. "Excuse me, but can you butt out of conversation?" She bared her teeth with a small sneer, "Go find someone else to annoy! We're having a chit chat and last I checked neither of us invited you to it," Bonesmudge snapped, a little harsher than meant but it wasn't nice when you were shoved out of your own convo.

“Oh,” Owlfeather meowed,”I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to, I didn’t see you, carry on with your conversation, I should have looked first, forgive me.”

[RAT KING]

Ratwhorl's amber eyes stared completely blankly at Owlfeather when he'd approached, and he'd not even opened his jaws to respond. Turning back to Bonesmudge with the same look- there was a tiny flicker of humor in his gaze. He was glad she had handled the intruder in their conversation, or better yet glad he didn't have to deal with it himself. He grumbled out a small raspy chuckle from somewhere in his chest. "Thanks," he mewed.

"But I mean it. I don't need checking up on," he continued. "I'm fine. Possumtoes leaving is on him, not me. Hasn't bothered me any, really."

[teddy.]

Her mood snapped completely in a second; from bared teeth to a crocked grin oozing with mischief. "Don't sweat it, fleabag!" Bonesmudge gave him a small gab in the side, a playful punch. She couldn't help but clock up a white brow bone at his comment. "What cow crap! You've got your last living family, you should be upset." Bonesmudge murmured, "You might look like an emotionless turd but I know somewhere deep inside your nasty little man body is some emotion," She chirped, "Or at least I hope! I have a mouse betted on it, so prove me right," Bonesmudge barked out a laugh.


{ Salt }

[RAT KING]

Ratwhorl looked at her with dull but wide eyes in surprise as she punched him, or whatever the cat equivalent was. Though he was beginning to soften up some with her attempts to socialize with him, he completely spaced out as a joke. "...What'd you just say? You've been gambling about me having emotions?" He rasped in a breathy tone, looking at nothing and no one in particular.

[Sneakyfox55]

Smokekit laid back down and curled in a ball. The short moment of bravery seemed to have disappeared. She curled her fluffy tail around her snout, her ears perked as she wanted to know if Thornkit would say something.

Snorting, Thornkit growled finally, "I don't know what Ivypaw sees in you. You're useless."

[Smokeystorms]

A small tortishell kit could been seen trying to pounce on a Robin, she was rather small and seemed to have a limp in her back leg though a interesting detail that could be noticed where two feathers behind her ear held by tree sap, one was a crow feather and the other a blue Jay. She was having no luck catching the bird so she sat and looked for a friend to train or play with she noticed mosskit sitting alone and contemplated going over to play with her

[teddy.]

Bonesmudge stared long and hard at Ratwhorl with her amber-blue gaze. Was he brain dead or something? "...Its... it's a joke--?" Bonesmudge cleared her throat, shaking her head. "Alright, bee-brain, you still haven't answered me!" Bonesmudge let a small purr rumble tentatively from a deep part of her dirty body. "Are-You-Okay?!"


{ Salt }

[RAT KING]

Ratwhorl shook his head slightly at her question, a tad bit exasperated by her. "I'm fine, Bonesmudge. Not bad, not good, the usual." It was true though that he didn't feel much at all, he was glad his littermate was off doing as he pleased. The general void in his chest didn't bother him one bit, and he in fact disliked most "Not sure why you're so worried about me."

[Pluto]

Owlstorm fluffed his brown pelt with a sigh. His earlier interaction with Doepaw hadn’t gone as planned, and now the tom was feeling worse for wear then usual. Maybe hunting would clear his head? But... he didn’t want to go alone. On the other hand, he didn’t want a similar incident happening. Again. He stood up and stretched, his heart and mind battling each other as he tried to decide what would be better for him. Together, whoever he asked, they would catch more prey. But what if he accidentally asked a grumpy know-it all? The thought made him shudder but... his heart won over his head. Owlstorm really didn’t want to go alone, and he made his head feel better by saying that things wouldn’t go as bad as last time. He glanced around the clearing before padding up to a she-cat and gingerly tapping her shoulder with his tail. ”Um hey there. Do you want to go... I don’t know hunting per say?” He asked, eyes flashing with hopefulness while also cringing at his awkward tone. He was ruining his reputation by acting this weird and he felt that this she-cat would think he was a creepy weirdo and say no. He looked at his paws awkwardly and drug a paw through the dirt, fearing her answer.

[Mayflower]

Lightkit gazed up at his mentor as Fernglow touched his nose. "Hi!" "Are we gonna start training?" He bounced around.

Mayflower
Fernglow laughed slightly. Thank goodness, he did get an eager one. It may be a curse eventually, but the young apprentice's energy sparked some into him. Lightpaw reminded him of his son during his ceremony, happy as could be and willing to try anything. He hoped, like Berrybreeze, Lightpaw would turn out an impressive warrior. "Very soon, but first we need to let Duskstar finish the meeting. Then we can train." Je nodded serenely, rolling his shoulders back. "Want to watch the rest of the ceremony?"

"Hunting?" Sandflight cocked her head at Owlstorm's coy nature, narrowing her ears in a suspicious manner. "Actually, I was about to head out on a hunting trip myself, but I suppose you can tag along."

Slipping out the camp exit, the she-cat signaled Owlstorm to follow. "So what's got you all tight, hm? Don't need to be shy around me, deary, I don't bite...unless I have to." She cooed, flashing a toothy grin up at the tom.

[ we can continue this in the territory! <3 ]

[lio]

Seeing as the apprentices had met their mentors, she went on.

"There are a few apprentices in need of new mentors. Frostpaw [ TeamRiverRipple ], Brightpaw [ Sneakyfox55 ], and Springpaw [ Bluepetal ], please come forward."

Frostpaw already had a mentor, but with her apparent avidness to not enjoy training as a warrior, Duskstar had a plan for her. Someone who would ensure that she would be taught to be a good warrior-- and she knew just the cat. It was time for a little mentor switch.

As she waited for the apprentices to step up, her gaze came to rest on the kit that had been antagonized by Darkcloud. The kit held a faint sense of familiarity to her, but she couldn't quite place it... then it clicked. Faithkit, who had gone missing some time ago.

"Faithkit [ Shimm ], where have you been?" Duskstar questioned.

[MEAT ANGELS]

hxneysuckle

"WHAT?" Frostpaw asked, confused on why Duskstar would change her mentor. "B-But ,Duskstar, I already have a m-mentor! Spottyfly is great! He's taught me hunting an- oh." She could see now. She hadn't allowed Spottyfy to train her correctly, and Duskstar was trying to fix that. How had she not seen it? What an idiot she'd been. Shame worming in her stomach, she stepped forward to face the leader. Who would her new mentor be? As long as it wasn't Murkyshadow, she'd be fine.
Right?

[Doom]

"SORRY, AGH, I'M COMING–"

Quailpaw scurried out from the apprentice's den and came to a skidding halt between the two warriors. "I'm here! I'm here..." She breathed, swallowing hard. "What did I miss? Where are we going?"

Silvershade entered the clearing with the patrol and two delightful Thunderclan cats. They stared in awe at the change of scenery, woah. WOAH. SO COOL. However, their heart clenched at the sight of the injured cats. Silvershade stared at them intensely before snapping their gaze back-- back to the main focus.

Silvershade clear their throat, "Thank you two for showing us the way!! It's really nice of you!" They beamed-- tail flickering. With an large inhale-- you know what's going-- Silvershade turned their head to the direction of Duskstar's den. It felt too intruding to just walk in. Also, took too much time.

"HEYA DUSKSTAR! WE'RE HERE TO HELP! IF YOU WOULD ALLOW US!"

Mumblefoot heard Duskstar speak, so she turned around, curiously gazing at the leader. Her eyes widened when she saw the condition Duskstar was in. She hurriedly got up and said a quick goodbye to Owlwatcher, Owlwatcher, I'm going to see if Duskstar needs any help. I'll be right back she hurried over to thunderclans leader, Duskstar, are you ok? Would you like me to escort you to Lionwhisker? she quietly mewed, trying not to bring any unneeded attention to them.

She blinked in Mumblefoot's direction and shook her head. "I'm fine," Duskstar mumbled, her tail twitching. She didn't like the Clan worrying about her, she didn't deserve such worry. So the Torbie watched Softbriar send out patrols, nodding along with them. A couple mistakes, but it was okay. They did well all-in-all.
"Good job, and thank you," she praised the warrior, a smile on her face. The sudden sound of a screeching cat and the scent of fish wafted over her, causing Duskstar's head to snap up. Raising to her paws, she padded over to greet the RiverClanners. "Thank you for coming. ThunderClan will appreciate your help. We will need two guards on duty, and the rest may decide to help patch up the camp or help us with hunting. A few patrols were just sent out but we would not turn down any more help with hunting." She offered a grateful smile as she explained what they needed help with.

[Madelaine]

Deerpetal had just woken up, not hearing the can meeting. She still managed to get up and pad out of the warriors den. The molly sat down outside the warriors den to look up at Duskstar. She heard that there was going to be apprentices getting mentors. Deerpetal was curious about why some apprentices didn't have mentors anymore.

Mumblefoot shook her head, quietly murmuring incoherent words under her breath. She followed after Duskstar, Duskstar, you seem to be in a lot of pain, and it's very important for our beloved clan leader to be healthy. If you don't get your wounds checked out, you might lose a life because of infection! I know that you want our clanmates to be treated first, but we need you to be strong and healthy so that you can guide us in these times! she mewed, determined to get her to go to Lionwhisker.

A nod of agreement from Doefeather. "May I help with rebuilding the camp?" Don't say more than needed, Doefeather. This is Duskstar your talking to. One wrong move and she could declare war on Riverclan.

Duskstar scoffed. "I already know where the camp is. If you don't have any useful information, then get out." Her pupils were slits, clear annoyance on her face.

She rolled her eyes. "I. Am. Fine. Leave me alone," she growled. Duskstar's tail lashed as irritation began to creep up her spine. She wasn't going to the medicine den and that was final.

[Wings]

At least they aren't gonna kill me..
The young former-warrior's ears fell back. He was an idiot to think that was useful information. Letting his eyes fall any where but the two ThunderClanners he answered Buckbranch's question. "ShadowClan doesn't have any special battle moves that I know of at least." Pausing, he muttered, "I'll leave."

His appearance said it all. Duskstar looked down at her paws, clenching her jaw. "She couldn't have done anything now, but if she were allowed to grow, she would have done more damage. I didn't foresee her ever changing, only getting worse. So I did what I thought was right." She swallowed the lump in her throat. "I know it's wrong, but... it can't be undone now. All I know is that she began acting up and attacking everyone because she wasn't being made an apprentice." Shaking her head shamefully, she averted her gaze, trying not to look Lionwhisker in the eye.

[dino.]

[ Wings hxneysuckle ]

"And here you had me thinking you knew something useful," Buckbranch muttered. He jumped off the former ShadowClan warrior and moved to stand beside Duskstar. His eyes were narrowed to slits, and irritation curled his lip. "Just get out off here."

[dino.]

[ Ombre Party ]

Oh, great StarClan, she was going to lose her mind over this kit. "Hunting is hunting," she said bluntly. "I really don't know how to explain it, Sweetpaw." She thumped her tail lightly on the ground, turning her attention to the Highpeak and the apprentices who were being reassigned to new mentors. "Pay attention, please. You might miss something important."

[lio]

[ Wings Slushie ]

She sighed, shaking her head. "Don't come back. If we see your face around here again, you will be driven off. Now leave." Duskstar took a step forward, her claws unsheathed threateningly. She wouldn't do anything, but she did hope she was intimidating enough.

[Doom]

"Oh Sweetheart! do you think that might be my warrior name?" The round kitten gasped, struggling to sit still even for a few moments bt the welcoming groom certainly helped him keep his flank pinned to the ground.

He squeaked, again, at the head lick. He went to lean up to return the affection, but ended up standing on his thick back paws to lick at her chin. Scum giggled, falling onto his puffy back. "Well she didn't seem that bloody stressed when she welcomed me to the clan, all I did was ask to join and bam, here I am!" he wiggles his bright feet in the air.

"I sure hope so! It would be very fitting." Sandflight purred.

When Scum licked her chin and fell, the she-cat giggled and began grooming his large and exposed underbelly. "Well, I'm glad you did join. We could use more darlings like you around here. Perhaps I could show you around camp?" Sandflight offered, leaning back when he wiggled his paws in the air.

[Wings]

Letting his head fall down and his tail fall just above the ground, he limped towards the exit. Where would he go know? He would be sure to die if his wound was infected. RiverClan? No, maybe? Letting his eyes fall back to the two, he stopped briefly at the exit before beginning to limp out again.

Buckbranch watched him go, shaking his head in frustration. If that was what Russetstrike considered useful information, then Buckbranch pitied the Clan that took him in. Idiot...
He turned to Duskstar with a roll of his eyes. "Sorry for wasting your time with something as minimal as this. When he said 'useful' I figured he meant secret secondary camp locations or battle tactics that we wouldn't know how to counter. I didn't realize he considered describing what we already knew to be beneficial."

She had been resting in her nest when Rainywhisker entered, blinking open her eyes at the sound of his voice. "Yes, Rainywhisker?" Duskstar greeted, slowly raising to her paws. She clenched her jaw as weight was put on her injured paw, though she tried to hide it from the warrior. "Is there something wrong?"

[ bmkmb ]

Duskstar hummed as she listened to him speak. "Alright. You will be allowed to join under the name Lionpaw. I will announce your joining to our Clan soon." She stood and nodded to him. "Welcome to ThunderClan. You are dismissed." She waved her tail, signalling for him to leave.

Wait what!?! He scoffed ,ears back. "that .......is no way a kit should behave, if it were so then her parents should have confined her in the nursery with two guards at the entrance !

It would have gotten worse..." as for the sudden change " it may have been the darkforests influence dear. They can do many things. " he said in a more softer tone.

Brightpaw stopped, his fur rising on his neck. "B-but, w-w-wait, I already..." He forced down his anxiety and moved himself towards his leader, sudden fear rippling through his pelt. I don't want a new mentor!

[nocturnal]

The golden tom bowed his head, then padded out of the den. That had been... less nerve-racking than he had expected it to be. No suspicion at all to why an outsider knew part of the Warriors' Code? He'd thought he'd have to make a speech or something. Lionpaw had a grin on his maw as he left. His new name wouldn't be too hard to get used to. Frosty always added -paw to the end of his name, anyway. hxneysuckle

Fleetwind sighed but resigned himself to his fate. He nodded to Lionwhisker with despair in his eyes and meowed, “ok, do what you have to do.” The tabby tom would just have to work extra hard on his warrior duties, but so what? Fleetwind had never shied away from hard work before! The attempts to downplay the absolutely awful situation didn’t work even though he’d been telling them to himself. There was no bright side to this. He’d drawn the short stick in life it seemed. Starclan really just wanted to drop him into a heap of badger dung and leave him to drown in it didn’t they. Fleetwind’s eyes hardened and he stared forward emotionlessly, finally hitting his breaking point.

[MEAT ANGELS]

Frostpaw burst into the den, tears streaming down her cheeks. "LIONWHISKER! CATS! Dark.. cats.." She broke down, panting and gasping for air. As soon as she had woken up from the dream, she had ran to Lionwhisker. He'd know what to do. With a sob, she looked up at the medicine cat. "Dark.. forest.. I saw them..!" She could practically feel Bloodfur's claws digging into her back, his voice ruffling her ear fur. Fear kept her awake through the fog of her blurring vision, and the haze of tears covering her sight. Her paws were bloodied from running through the forest all night.

[lio]

Duskstar shook her head at the two apprentices opposing her choice.

"Frostpaw [ TeamRiverRipple ], since day one of you becoming an apprentice, you have shown apprehension in the duty given to you. You asked me if you could help Lionwhisker heal cats instead of fighting in the raid-- that is unacceptable. You are a warrior apprentice, not a medicine cat apprentice. And thus it is time for your mentor to change. Cherrybubble [ RedHead ], you formerly had Shade as your apprentice, and you taught him well despite his suspicious behavior. And so I entrust you to teach this young she-cat her true place in this Clan."

"Springpaw [ Bluepetal ], you have come back to us after being missing, and you must now continue your training. Your mentor will be Hollowedaster [ Wolfie ]."

"Brightpaw [ Sneakyfox55 ], I'm sorry to tell you, but... Linnetwing is dead. She was murdered by an unknown rogue. We lost a valuable member of our Clan, you lost your mentor, and I lost my dear sister. But she would not want you to stop your training. Your new mentor will be Owlstorm [ Ombre Party ]."

As she spoke, her ears flattened, chest tightening at the remembrance of her sister's death.

But she had to go on.

Before she did, however, she remembered a couple of outsiders who had recently requested to join.

"Ah. There are two more outsiders who are ready to join our ranks and train as apprentices. Buggy [ Cecily Herondale ], Lion [ bmkmb ], please step forward."

Mossflame decided to be as polite as possible. "May I hep with rebuilding, as well?"

[dino.]

Buckbranch's ears flattened. Duskstar's sister had died? That was awful, and even more horrendous was the rogue who had committed a crime. He knew what it was like to lose someone so close - he had considered Sagepaw as a son before the young tom went missing several moons back. It hurt to think his first apprentice was probably dead, and he would never see him again.
He made a note to go talk to Duskstar after the meeting and offer her his condolences. She may not have liked him, and he may not have known her sister very well, but it was the least he could do. Losing family was too difficult to suffer alone.

Frostpaw's throat tightened with guilt and fear as she was scorned by the leader. Turning from the mourning molly, she touched noses with the molly, holding back the emotions bubbling in her lips. All she said was a simple "Please don't make me fight." Frostpaw couldn't do this. She couldn't fight, feel flesh under claws, the scent of blood in her nose. Why couldn't Duskstar understand that?

[Pluto]

Owlstorm felt a fresh pang of grief in his own chest. Linnetwing had been a friend. In fact, he had even begun to like her... and now she was dead. He could see Duskstar struggling with it too, if only for a moment, and he tired his gaze away to Linnetwing’s apprentice in which he would now finish training. He padded forward to Brightpaw with, though sparkling with grief, hopeful eyes.”Hi. I’m Owlstorm and I, uh, I’ll be your mentor now. Sorry to hear about Linnetwing. She-she was my friend.” His words became slurred but he quickly touched his nose to Brightpaw’s and sat beside her.

There... was a Frostpaw still in ThunderClan? And it was a she-cat. Ah, that would be weird. Pushing that thought away, Lion stepped forward. There were a lot more cats in ThunderClan than he expected. Then again, all that proved was that Frosty never exaggerated. Um. About Frosty. Where was he now? Ran away to the shadow cats, didn't he? Lion - Lionpaw - would need to get used to these odd clan traditions soon. Like the meetings, and the rules - Great StarClan, there were so many rules. Wait - did the clans believe in StarClan? No, of course they did. Well, that was one clan tradition down, at least.

[Sweetie]

Faithkit tried her best to stop trembling and to make herself presentable. "You see Ms. Duskstar I was outside of the nursery after Ms. Speckledrose ( DarkNight) kindly told me a stay. I was watching the clan and all of a sudden I was scooped up by a hawk. See there are the claw marks." Turning to her side and moves her matted fur to one side to show three long talon marks." I didn't know what to do so I stayed still until it brought me to its nest then I jumped out and fell down and landed on a tree branch. It took me a while to get down and it was dark and I was so scared and I just hid under a bush and fell asleep. When I woke up a nice Lady Kitty-Pet took me to her home and gave me a little food. I know it's against the rules but I didn't know how to hunt and I was so hungry. I'm sorry Ms. Duskstar." Faithkit hung her head in shame and disappointment. "I asked the nice Kitty-Pet Lady where I was and she said in the two-leg place. So I asked if she could help me but she said no and pointed me in the right direction and I've been wandering around for a few days before I smelled home and tried to follow the scent. Now I'm here." The last part of the sentence wasn't strong since the cream tabby was scared that the leader wouldn't believe her like that meanie didn't. Why on earth would she lie about what happened to her?

She sighed and nodded. "I didn't want to, but... I had to. I just hope the Clan doesn't hate me too much for my decision." Duskstar curled her tail closer to herself, shaking her head. "No, I need to get some things done. No time to rest when the Clan is busy. But thank you, Lionwhisker. You are proving to be a wonderful medicine cat." With that, she dipped her head and walked out, not waiting for him to respond-- or force her to lay down.

The tom is unable to conceal a frown as he watches her rise. "Don't stand, you're still recovering. Is now an alright time to talk?" His tail curled at the end slowly as he waited before stepping further into the den just enough to be out of sight from outside. Dipping his head as a show of respect then, Rainywhisker sits down. Fixing a dark orange stare on the she-cat, the warrior seems to take his time with what he was going to say, yet it didn't do him very much good. "I hope you can forgive my nosiness and view it more as concern for my leader, but are you doing alright?" His words came out slowly as he observed her. It was evident he wasn't looking to step on her tail or anything. But after sitting and witnessing her leadership so far, it was possible she could use someone to talk to if she wasn't already doing that.

Silvershade smiled brightly at Duskstar, woah. She had such a professional aura, they were envious! They had to take notes. At least she wasn't prideful either, there was a small worry about getting sent back Silvershad had.

They glanced at Mossflame and Doefeather then back to Duskstar. Ear flickering, they gave a nod to their clanmates. "I'll go on guard duty then!" Silvershade meowed. They could also dabble in the other duties.

Pinepuff sat in the clearing, cleaning the dried blood from her pelt. It had been days sense the raid and yet, the fluff ball of a warrior still had blood in her thick fur. Would she ever get it out? Given she still had two somewhat open wounds. Her shoulder and nose weren't really wanting to heal. Probably because she had a bite out of her shoulder and no nose. But who knew! Maybe there was another reason.
Everyone is safe as of know though. Pinepuff thought pausing in her grooming to look around the clearing. Clan life was going back to normal for most cats. Most cats didn't have a cannibal trying to eat them alive though. The large tabby was fine. Perfectly fine! Maybe a bit lonely and shaken up by the patrol she had to lead earlier but she was fine. Pinepuff let out a slight yawn before going back to grooming. Maybe she should talk to someone soon? It got lonely not talking to anyone.

Tigerleap looked up at Duskstar. She had an apprentice now? The calico she-cat turned to Honeypaw. She touched noses with her and purred.
"Hello Honeypaw" She greeted her new apprentice. She already looked forward to get to know this young cat and teach her everything she knew about fighting and hunting.

Fleetwind nodded as Lionehisker spoke. The poppy seed had already numbed a large portion of his pain and he was sure the bone resetting would have hurt far worse without it. Likely, it would hurt in the moment and then subside under the mask of poppy. Fleetwind barely had time to prepare himself before the sickening sound of a snap coursed through the den and a rock dug oddly into his ankle. Fleetwind let out a howl and crumpled to the ground, still conscious but sweaty and shivering. He appreciated Lionwhisker not giving him time to build up nerves but he couldn’t think about anything other than the wrongness at the end of his leg.

"Fine, I guess..." replied Pinekit. Was she fine? She didn't know anymore. The scratches across her face didn't hurt anymore but they still left a scar. She didn't really care though. She looked back at Quailkit. Why is she talking to me? What does she want? she thought.

Sweetpaw frowned at her mentor’s tone. Was she that much of a stickler to rules? Sweetpaw had sneaked out of the nursery all the time when she was young; Sweetpaw didn’t much care for rules if it ruined her fun. She shook her pelt and tried to focus on Duskstar. This meeting is so boringggggg. She thought with a inward sigh. She knew better than to speak aloud next to Minnowthorn by now, so she kept her tongue, if only while Duskstar continued to speak. As she paused, Sweetpaw couldn’t help but talk once more. “That’s awful.” Sweetpaw couldn’t think about loosing Condorpaw. “Anyways, when do you think this is gonna be over so we can go hunting? I’ve been good and this is... boring.” She murmured mournfully.

He flexed his claws, closing his eyes and taking and deep breath. He didn’t want this apprentice to be so down on himself, but he didn’t know how to comfort him. ”I’m not sure any cat did.” Owlstorm could see the young tom’s inward battle with himself. “It’s not your fault.

I g-guess I was scared from t-the battle w-with Shadow-c-clan. " Should she let everything out? Probably not. He was a medicine cat, it wasn't his job to tend to her worries. But Lionwhisker, her idol, calling her a good cat- made her heart melt with joy. Why would he ever want to not be a medicine cat? She still remembered their conversation from before the battle, and was still trying to work out what the medicine cat has said. Why would he want to go back to being a warrior?

Fleetwind have a shaky nod of his head to Lionwhisker. He wasn’t sure if it really felt better or if he was going into shock, but the pain was slowly shifting to a strange tingling. Fleetwind still felt like ants had crawled into his pelt and ripped out all his fur, but his leg felt more weird than painful. Perhaps it was the poppy doing its job. Yet the tom felt exceedingly exhausted as well and a bit lightheaded like he might collapse- if he hadn’t already crumpled into a ball on the ground.

Howlspark sat to the side of the clearing, flicking his tail thoughtfully as he observed his clan mates milling about. He hadn’t left the camp yet that day- aside from his usual walk to watch the sunrise- and he felt the urge to go for a hunt. However, he felt that his hunting trip would be more beneficial to the clan with another cat to catch prey too. Of course, Howlspark tended to enjoy solo hunts, but he had nothing against his clan mates. Thus, the tom stood silently and walked with his usual determined pace and set shoulders to the entrance, where he sat neatly once more and wrapped a tail around his paws. His voice carried without him needing to raise it as he called to no one in particular, “I intend to go hunting if anyone would care to join. I will wait by the entrance for a moment before leaving.” If no one came, no one came. He was perfectly happy to hunt alone.

"Thanks, I guess, Cormorantpaw." He spoke through a yawn, "I was kinda hoping Duskstar would forget to apprentice me." That would be lucky in his mind, to be a forever-kit in the nursery.

Softbriar chuckled at Eveningpaw's rambling, they thought her eagerness was adorable. "I'm sure you will!" They smiled, already thinking through training sessions to come. This wasn't their first apprentice, so they had a good idea of how to go through things.

[Silvershadow9]

“Sure!” Owlfeather replied,”It’s not like I’ll be busy or anything,” he admitted, he had no apprentice of his own, so he obviously had time to kill.

"That's awesome!" Moonpaw grinned. "But what should we do? We can maybe hunt?" she suggested.

He gave a nod,that would be very understandable . they still could have used my strength ...stupid shadow-scum.." off you go, I have other patients . " he said as he flicked his tail toward the exit.

Frostpaw nodded, grateful for Lionwhisker's support. "Thanks, again, Lionwhisker. Your a great medicine cat." She stood up, dashing out of the den. She wasn't fully comforted, but it would do.

As long as she wasn't visited again, she'd be fine.
Right?

[Sneakyfox55]

Smokekit looked at her paws. "No. She's busy."

Of course she is. He twitched his tail irritably, the anger at the other kit fading. Instead, he walked over to one of the nests nearby, and lay down, resting his head on his paws. "I bet she's having the time of her life," he spat, more frustrated than anything.

[Shade.]

Pinekit slowly padded into the medicine den, her expression blank and cold. She sat down silently, looking ahead of her without having her pupils focuse on anything.
"I came to get the cobwebs removed and my wound checked." she said in a low, emotionless voice. Cobwebs were wrapped around the side of her face, almost covering her eye.

"That's awesome!" Moonpaw grinned. "But what should we do? We can maybe hunt?" she suggested.
“Yeah, That sounds great!” Owlfeather meowed in excitement,”Maybe after the meeting?”

“T-thank you, Lionwhisker,” Fleetwind answered shakily, pulling himself over to a corner of the medicine day where he wouldn’t be in the way or taking space from current patients. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just rest here for a little bit.” With that, Fleetwind slumped to the ground in exhaustion and shock and lay with slitted eyes, staring thoughtlessly at the wall of the den.

Hollowedaster made his way towards Springpaw and touched noses, "Well hello Springpaw." The tom greeted.
"Hi," he returned the greeting. "Are we going to do anything right away?"

"aye, let's see here " gently taking off the webs and wiped them off on the ground. Squinting , he noticed that the wound healed pretty well " it's scabbed over which means it's healing itself . Might need another dose for covering just in case .." he meowed only to grab the same mush and place it gently over it, then got some fresh webs and dabbed them on. "there ye are las! " he smiled .

Eveningpaw purred at the praise of her new mentor. Softbriar seemed like a nice cat. Her attention diverged as her brother, Cormorantpaw approached. Her eyes lit up as she remembered that now they'd all be able to sleep in the same den again! "Hi, Comorantpaw! Isn't this lovely? We're all apprentices!" She laughed as Ravenkit mewed. "Now silly, why in Starclan would you hope for that?" Eveningpaw's whole body tensed with excitement, this was going to be so. Much. FUN!

[Cinnamontail12]

Shadowpelt darted to the Highpeak, feeling exited. "I wonder what today's meeting is about!

[dionysus]

Socks / Queenie
Cormorantpaw hadn’t been able to speak to Ravenpaw or Eveningpaw much since the events of his ceremony day and the black fluffy tom felt himself growing a bit happier around them. He still hadn’t sorted through any of his emotions and the apathy that that had caused was an omnipresence, but it was tinged with a bit of nostalgic happiness. The three siblings were all together again. “Yeah, Eveningpaw,” he purred with a grin, “I hope our mentors take us all hunting together some time.” He turned quizzical amber eyes on Ravenpaw and spoke after Eveningpaw, “yeah, Ravenpaw! Being an apprentice is pretty much what every kit wants! It’s been pretty cool so far... we’ll, actually, my first day as an apprentice was kinda the worst day of my life... but that had nothing to do with being an apprentice. In fact, Buckbranch is gonna take me for battle training after the meeting. Speaking of which, we should all meet up after- since you guys are probably gonna go check out the territory- and we can hang out outside the apprentice den.” Cormorantpaw’s tone wasn’t as excited as it would’ve been when he was a kit, but it was the most emotion he’d displayed in days aside from the occasional bout of panic.

[Cinnamontail12]

Shadowpelt walked in, limping on her left foot and wobbling around. "C..Can s..someone help m..me?" Shadowpelt falls onto the floor in pain.

The poor dear. Pinepuff had taken the little Doepaw from Flintspirit, he couldn't taken him to the Medicine den himself. The little apprentice though, so scared she had demanded to walk underneath her. Well demanded was a bad word to use with Doepaw. She was far to skittish and sweet for that. Besides she had a whole in her head for StarClan's sake! That had to be painful!
"You'd be alright darling, Lionwhisper will fix you up fine and dandy." Pinepuff cooed to the smaller tabby, giving her a gentle lick behind the ears, avoiding the hole in her head. It wasn't like the large fluff ball of a warrior didn't know what pain felt like. She still had a limp from the raid with that nasty bite from her shoulder and her muzzle was still recovering from where her nose used to be.
Pushing into the warrior's den Pinepuff made sure little Doepaw got in okay before calling out. "Lionwhisker darling." She called for the tom. "Could you help out this poor dear Doepaw? She's injured her head." The tabby explained green eyes seeking out the tom.

Oblivious to Cormorantpaw's melancholy tone Eveningpaw bounced in excitement. Her littermates together again! They were going to stay up all night and talk, sharing secrets, and playing. After her quick little freak out, she composed herself. "That would be lovely." She looked back to Softbriar a few tail-lengths away. "Are we going to tour the territory?" She asked.

[Silvershadow9]

“Yeah, That sounds great!” Owlfeather meowed in excitement,”Maybe after the meeting?”

"Of course!" Moonpaw purred happily.

Ravenpaw sighed at the reactions of his littermates. Of course, his giddy siblings wouldn't understand his lack of interest in training, they never could stay still in the nest, always bothering him with their playfulness. He furrowed his brows at his brother's more melancholy comment about the beginning of his apprenticeship, he hadn't been there for his apprentice ceremony but the events had trickled back to him from queen gossip. "If you'll help me find the best spot in the apprentice's den then I might skip a nap to chat a little." He yawned again to exaggerate, turning to glance at his own mentor for an idea of what he had planned next.

Softbriar had gone back to paying attention to the meeting when Eveningpaw had started chatting with the other apprentices, but they tuned back in at the she-cats question. "If you're up for it, we'll head out when the meeting is over. But prepare your paws for a long trek." Being fresh out the nursery, Softbriar didn't expect Eveningpaw to have the same energy after they'd toured the forest.

"Spottyfly?" Frostpaw turned to her former mentor, eyes wide with regret. "Spottyfly I'm so sorry-"

"Of course!" Moonpaw purred happily.
“Okay!” Owlfeather smiled and settled down to watch the last bit of the meeting.

Cormorantpaw chuckled at Ravenpaw’s suggestion and nodded, “deal, I’ll show you guys some nests close to mine! We can do that before I go out with Buckbranch.” The fluffy apprentice purred at Eveningpaw’s enthusiasm and found himself looking forward to an evening of conversing and hanging out with his littermate again.

[RedHead]

Flintspirit continued to comfort Doepaw, trying to ease the answer out of her about what happened. "You climbed a tree? That's great Doepaw!" The tomcat encouraged, though he knew there was something more that had happened to make her this upset. As she meowed the word "woodpecker" thought, a small smile crossed Flintspirit's maw and he gave an affectionate roll of his eyes. "Okay Doepaw, I'm gonna give you a little tough love here." He scooted backwards a little bit so he could look into her eyes. "I understand that it hurts, and you're probably super scared right now. But I'm not going to baby you. And if I do it once then you're going to expect it." The tomcat patted Doepaw's forepaw with his own, tilting his head a little bit. "I promise you you're going to be okay."

Cherrybubble scoffed, shaking her head. She didn't mean to be rude, but she wasn't too fond of taking that offer. "Thanks Pinepuff, but I'm a grown warrior. I can handle myself." The black and white warrior meowed, before getting to her paws and stretching out. She then glanced sideways at Pinepuff, eyes slightly narrowed as she flicked an ear towards her. "How's your... nose doing? Sure hope you got some good hits in on the cat who did that to you."

Eveningpaw nodded eagerly back at her mentor. "Trust me Softbriar, I could walk around all the territories and still have energy left." The young apprentice clearly had no idea how large the territories were. Yet, she felt she could fly to Starclan and back and still be buzzing with energy. She always was. After the exchange with her mentor, Eveningpaw turned back to her brothers. Ravenpaw was going on about how he wanted to take a nap. How on earth could two cats be such polar opposites? Eveningpaw couldn't imagine ever taking a nap, especially when there was so much to do! She shook her head at her brother and let out an exasperated sigh. "Oh Ravenpaw- wow I can't believe I can say that now, Ravenpaw!"

"Eveningpaw, that is kind of weird. Why do we gotta change our names so much?" Ravenpaw questioned, it didn't make much sense to him, wouldn't it be much easier if he was just 'Raven' for his whole life? Well, yet another thing for him to complain about. "I'm at least glad to be in a den made for cats as big as us." The nursery had been quite cramped for about the past moon, it wasn't made for so many nearly full-grown cats like the apprentice's den was.

“We should find nests right next to each other. I’ve missed hanging out with you guys.” Life had been simpler the last time he’d hung out with his littermates life had been similar. Stars, he sounded like an elder. He felt a bit like an elder. Only 6 moons old and he’d already seen too much. Letting out a weary sigh, Cormorantpaw looked around for Buckbranch, who’d gone to interrupt another squabble. He wanted to go to the training clearing as quick as possible and get away from the rest of Thunderclan. He loved talking to his siblings, but he hadn’t yet had the chance to talk earnestly with Buckbranch and the longer they waited the weirder Cormorantpaw felt about talking to his mentor.

[lio]

The two came forward quite quickly, good.

"Lion [ bmkmb ], you have requested to join our Clan and to keep your name. From this moment on u til your receive your warrior name, you will be known as Lionpaw. Your mentor will be Ashcloud [ kittygirl ]."

"Buggy [ Cecily Herondale ], you too have requested to join our Clan. From this moment on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Bugpaw. Your mentor will be Cloudsound [ \/\/ ]."

After giving a moment for the new apprentices to find their mentors, Duskstar went on to the more important news. She was fairly certain that she was done with ceremonies, so... it was time.

"After speaking to me privately, Flintspirit [ RedHead ] has come to the conclusion that he is resigning from being ThunderClan deputy. I honor his choice, and I do not hold any harsh feelings. It was lovely working with you, Flintspirit. This leaves us without a deputy, and I will be looking for a new one. In time, one warrior may be named as my second-in-command, and the next in line for leader." The talk she had had with Flintspirit was still fresh in her mind, leaving her chest tight. She masked her sorrow in a happy face, however, leading on into a more fun idea she had had.

"Newleaf has fallen upon us, bringing blooming flowers and fresh prey. Warmth is slowly laying itself over our land. After all the hardships we have faced, I have decided that we will hold a celebration. A section of the territory will be picked out for games and other activities on order to allow the entire Clan to relax and have fun. In fact, with extreme supervision, this will be a chance to allow kits out into the territory to play. We will have specified games for each age group. All apprentice-aged games will count towards training, and all kit-aged games may even allow a few kits to get themselves promoted to an apprentice. This celebration will take place within the next moon, and it will serve as a way to just relax and have fun after all we have faced."

And hopefully it wouldn't end in death, like the other games had.

"If you have any questions or suggestions for games, please ask them now!"

[Queenie]

Eveningpaw purred, "that sounds like a lovely idea. As long as you guys don't snore!" She giggled remembering everyone's soft purrs. She hoped this meant they'd be close again. With Cormorantpaw leaving sooner, the littermates had seemingly lost touch. She longed to feel their warm pelts against hers once again. She faced Ravenpaw with a wide smile on her face, "I think changing our names is kinda fun! Keeps you from getting bored. And when you become a warrior that the funnest, because you don't even know what your name will be!" Her mind wandered off thinking of all the possible names she could have.

[kittygirl]

ashclouds ears perked, he didn't expect to be training two apprentices. he smiled though and trotted away from speckledrose and up to his new apprentice, "we will start as soon as possible." he smiled and touched noses with the apprentice.

Buckbranch's eyes widened in surprise. Flintspirit, resigning? At first it was hard to believe, but the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. He figured it had something to do with Breezekit's death, even if he couldn't quite put his paw on it.
Several ideas for games ran quickly through his head, and he stepped forward to share one that sounded fun as well as practical. "Maybe a sort of 'ultimate hide and seek'?" he suggested. "Mentors take their apprentices out in groups to a certain part of the territory and just... have at it. Maybe there's a prize or something for the best hider and the best seeker. It'll help them with stealth and tracking skills, among other things."
After another moment, he added, "It can be for warriors, too. Not just for apprentices."

[Wings]

Eyes growing wide, the kit practicly jumped with excitement. He couldn't wait! And maybe he would be an apprentice by then! "Faithkit! We get to go out into the territory!" He paused, thinking for a quick second. "Well, maybe but, still!" He smiled at her, he felt an urge to play fight her for a second but, resisted as her scabby skin looked painful.

( RedHead Foxbound is welcome to step in if you want)
Eyes growing wide, a shiver ran down her spine. Tail hiding right next to her body, she shrunk down. Last time Duskpaw participated in one of those games, she got a broken leg and then had to get it re-broken because of Tallmarsh's negligence. Looking around, she let her legs carry her to the back of the clearing and underneath the shade of a tree. Looking up made her quiver a little too. It all made her flash back to when she was attacked and fell out a tree.

[Polaris]

Mosskit slowly swished her tail from side to side, thinking about what the leader had said for a moment. The deputy retired? I wonder who will be deputy now? If it's not a warrior with a apprentice currently, maybe I could be their apprentice! She looked at the ground, flashing a quick, rare smile.

She heard one of the warriors, Buckbranch, tell his idea of a game of hide and seek. I wonder how I could hide...Someway to use my pelt to my advantage... Mosskit looked down at her ginger coat, scowling. To most cats, it looked like Mosskit was just being grumpy, but if someone looked close, they would see she was just deep in thought. There is no way I can hide in anything with this coat...Although...Maybe I could use my white underbelly to my advantage... She nodded, sure that would work. She started to groom herself as she thought of more ways she could use her pelt to her advantage.

Mosskit smiled, sure that when she got to go into the woods, it would help her be able to know more of what she would need to know as an apprentice. She wondered what the forest would be like. Of course, she already sort of knew what is was like. Because their camp was in the woods, but she had never left camp before, for fear she would have her apprentice ceremony moved back.

[Gone]

Alderstripe had listened to the meeting from afar, the senior warrior would certainly enjoy playing with the apprentices, well, if they would allow him to, he used to play with his own kits back then and it certainly was enjoyable, so playing with them could actually drift his thoughts away from the rest, or he could simply stay there and watch them, he would certainly not mind having a conversation with a fellow clanmate. The tom had been quite introvert back then, but due to his mate, he had changed for the better and even he knew that, a shame he had never been able to thank her face to face.


[Open, apprentices can ask him to join them if they so wish]

[RedHead]

Foxbound had been sitting near the edge of the gathered cats, preferring not to be too attuned to the goings on of this clan meeting. She wasn't really feeling up to it. But she was listening to some parts, such as when Duskstar had spoken about Flintspirit's resignation. Privately sure, but quietly? Not really. She was surprised more cats hadn't heard his yowling that night. Maybe they had all just been too exhausted from the raid.
Though at the mention of more games, Foxbound's head turned towards the highpeak, ears flicking slightly. She caught sight of the horrified expression on Duskpaw's face, and her own face contorted into a small look of anger. Her line of thinking was on the same wave as Duskpaw's last time they had games, the apprentice had gotten hurt.
Padding over to take a seat next to the young she-cat, Foxbound gave her a smile. "Hey. It'll be okay. Just stay next to me and I'll make sure nothing bad happens to you." She whispered, giving Duskpaw an affectionate pat on the back with her tail.

Frostpaw's throat tightened with guilt and fear as she was scorned by the leader. Turning from the mourning molly, she touched noses with the molly, holding back the emotions bubbling in her lips. All she said was a simple "Please don't make me fight." Frostpaw couldn't do this. She couldn't fight, feel flesh under claws, the scent of blood in her nose. Why couldn't Duskstar understand that?


Ah great. She'd been rid of that troublesome apprentice Shade, only to receive another one who was apperantly too much of a baby to fight. Looks like I'm the clan's designated babysitter now. Thank you for your generous donation Duskstar. But in all reality. Cherrybubble wasn't actually too upset about this turn of events. She enjoyed bossing around younger cats. And when it was a challenge, it was even better.
As Frostpaw spoke though, Cherrybubble's eyes widened at her new apprentice, before she narrowed them. "Fighting is the way of a warrior kit. And that's what you're going to be. A warrior. I'll make sure of it." She wouldn't have no apprentice of hers grow up to be a baby. That wasn't allowed.

[Abyssopelagic]

After touching noses with Ivorypaw, Breezehen made her way back to Mumblefoot with a soft farewell, allowing her time with Ravenspirit. "I accidentally startled her! I feel so bad, but after I explained she seemed to be less upset. She's is quite sweet though."

Mosskit walked out of the nursery and sat down near the entrance to the camp. She shook her short, smooth ginger pelt and watched the camp move around her with her big, brown eyes. She scowled as she saw apprentices talking to their mentors, not seeing why they could have one but she couldn't. Well, I'll be fine as long as I'm made deputy. I know I will, so all I have to do it wait. Mosskit started to groom her pelt, still watching the cats around her. She looked at the ground, suddenly overcome with a wave of emotion. She suddenly felt sadness for herself. That she wasn't wasn't a apprentice because she wasn't good enough. This only lasted for a brief moment as she put up her wall again, as she had learned to do, multiple times before.

"Hi Mosskit!" Darkcloud meowed,worry vibrating in her voice. "How are you?" Darkcloud had just padded up to stand beside the kit.

[Polaris]

Mosskit looked up as the warrior, Darkcloud, walked up to her. She looked ahead at the cats in front of her, not sure what to do. Did she see me before? If she did, she must think I'm weak... She decided she would reply to try to make herself look stronger. "Fine," she replied, trying to keep it as short as possible. She slowly swished her tail from side to side, mumbling grumpily to herself.

[Wings]

Looking up, she saw the familiar face of Foxbound. She gave her a half-hearted smile and would be sure to stick like glue to her mentor. As Foxbound patted her back her tense muscles relaxed a bit. Having Foxbound next to her was comforting and she felt safe next to her.

"You're not weak." Darkcloud meowed,"And by your voice,I can tell your not fine. I'm not as dumb as you think,kit."

Mosskit looked at the older cat, a small growl beginning in her throat. Her tail started to lash from side to side. "I am fine." She started to claw the ground, annoyed that this warrior was intruding on something that was none of her concern. "Why do you care anyway." She turned away from the warrior, trying hard to bottle up all of her emotions and keep up her wall.

Walking into the clearing from the den she was sleeping in, she took in a deep breath. Her leg was almost healed and ready for training, almost. Her ear's perked up when her name was called, for a patrol? Softbriar was making the annoucement. She couldn't blame them as she didn't know them so they could not have possibly even known about her injury. Seeing Foxbound looking for her she walked over to her mentor now, only limping slightly on her rush bound leg. "Hi Foxbound!" Her scarred body itched to be out in the territory but, she knew that it would be bad for her leg. Duskpaw had gotten much older since her attack. She was probably 6 or 7 moons when it happened and now the she was almost 9 moons!

Spotting the apprentice, Foxbound padded over, giving her a once over before smiling and nodding in greeting. "Morning Duskpaw. I was just coming to find you actually." She glanced at Duskpaw's leg before asking her question. "Do you think you're up for going on a patrol? I don't want to make you push yourself I would rather you heal completely and be able to train efficiently afterwards instead of continuously hurting yourself trying to do things sooner." The ginger she-cat tilted her head, her gaze serious. But she was going to allow her apprentice to speak for herself on what her thoughts were about the situation. Duskpaw needed to learn to make her own choices and decisions. Even if Foxbound might not agree with them.

"Probably would be better if I didn't go with you. But, I'm gonna go ask Lionwhisker if my leg is healed!" She paused. "It feels pretty much healed but, I'd rather have Lionwhisker look at it." She smiled, trying to hide her disappointment.

"Spottyfly?" Frostpaw turned to her former mentor, eyes wide with regret. "Spottyfly I'm so sorry-"
”What are you sorry for? It’s not your fault you are afraid of fighting. Really I should have helped you overcome that! I just wanted to find you so I could wish you well.”

[MEAT ANGELS]

”What are you sorry for? It’s not your fault you are afraid of fighting. Really I should have helped you overcome that! I just wanted to find you so I could wish you well.”

"Thank you, Spottyfly." Frostpaw buried her muzzle into the toms chest fur, guilt worming in belly. "I'll always come and talk to you."

[Wolfsli123]

"Thank you, Spottyfly." Frostpaw buried her muzzle into the toms chest fur, guilt worming in belly. "I'll always come and talk to you."
Spottyfly’s expression turned serious. ”Look... your new mentor. He’s no doubt going to be harder on you for not wanting to battle, so... the best advice I can give is to listen, ok? If you have any trouble just let me know. I’ll do my best to help.”

[MEAT ANGELS]

Spottyfly’s expression turned serious. ”Look... your new mentor. He’s no doubt going to be harder on you for not wanting to battle, so... the best advice I can give is to listen, okay? If you have any trouble just let me know. I’ll do my best to help.”

Frostpaw nodded eagerly, tail flicking. Spottyfly really did care, huh? What a great friend! She grinned, giving her former mentor one last hug. "Alright! Thanks again, Spottyfly!" She bounced away,feeling smarter already.

[nocturnal]

Lionpaw's ears perked up in bewilderment and he stood still as he felt a nose bump into his. "Um, okay," the golden tom said unsurely. He felt like running off and hiding in a hole; he was so confused but he didn't want to bother his mentor... Ashcloud? He wasn't even sure what role a mentor played. Yeah, they were teachers, but what else? Friends? Guardians? How did things work and what was allowed? Was he allowed to leave camp or not? Lionpaw's gaze shifted to Duskstar as she announced something about a celebration. Was that normal? He didn't think so. Frostpaw never mentioned anything about one, although he tended to keep to himself about those types of things.

((What does a cat hug look like?))
”You’re welcome.”

Spottyfly smiled and left. Feeling proud that, even though he’d failed to see this mentor ship to its end, he still could help Frostpaw.

[MagicCat99]

Of course she is. He twitched his tail irritably, the anger at the other kit fading. Instead, he walked over to one of the nests nearby, and lay down, resting his head on his paws. "I bet she's having the time of her life," he spat, more frustrated than anything.
"If you didn't sneak out of camp maybe you would've been an apprentice too, you know." Smokekit mewed, refusing to glance at the tomkit.

[Radetzky]

Tigerleap sat in the middle of the clearing, searching with her gaze for Honeypaw. She wanted to take her apprentice out and show her ThunderClan's territory.
"Honeypaw, are you here?" She called, curling her tail around her paws.

[Dark Flame]

“Alright.” Hawkmist looked into the apprentice’s eyes, trying to maintain eye contact.

“I’ll see if I can show you the territory after the meeting. Most kits don’t recognise the space... mainly that’s because they’re good little kits, unlike the other few. Knowing the territory is important, you might need to remember every little thing. It also prevents you from getting lost. And, after that, I’ll give you a little demonstration of hunting. You can have a try, and then we’ll wrap it up for now. How does that sound?”

Through all of this, Hawkmist had the same serious look on his face. He was going to make sure this apprentice turned out good. So he knew he had to train him right.

( Socks )

[Arie]

Myrtlepaw brightened up at the sight of his dear Ploverspot, seeing him return mostly unscathed was an even greater relief. The apprentice smiled as the elderly tom came over to greet him as well, who he soon noticed to be carrying a couple of... strange objects. Once dropped, Myrtle had recognised them as an ear and an eye of a cat, which unsettled him ever so slightly, though he could at least guess where they came from. Before he could question those, Plover had pulled the apprentice into a soft embrace as he began to lick tentatively, seemingly in a protective manner. Myrtle didn't mind much, in fact, he found this quite comforting. Purring slowly, the russet furred tom was just about to let himself fall asleep in the comfort of an older cat once again before he remembered the two strange objects from earlier. "So... why... why did... you... bring... an ear... and... an... eye... back... with you?"




Myrtlepaw watched curiously as Doepaw circled him, unsure of what she had planned. It was only until her tiny figure had jumped over him that he knew what was happening now. A play fight! This could be fun. The russet furred tom tried to move out of the way of her grasp, but Doepaw had already jumped and landed on his back, securing a nice grip as she hung on. Quickly thinking of what to do, Myrtlepaw briefly leaned his body back at an angle, causing the other apprentice to slip off and land back on the ground. Once freed of her grasp, the russet furred tom quickly spun and pinned her down lightly. He couldn't help but smile, this was so fun so far, he had never expected to just enjoy himself so much. "What... can... you do... now? You... are... trapped... you... will not... escape..!" His voice was a friendly taunting, all his past worries seemingly gone now that he let himself relax for once.

The old cat laughed softly at Myrtlepaw's question and Ploverspot answered, "Well... I assumed you would want a gift. I did not kill her, just so you know... but showed her that I would most definitely take the other ear and eye next time she showed her face across the Thunderclan border. I do not disagree with many things but punishing trespassers needs to happen fast. And well I couldn't exactly skin her to give you a blanket to line your nest with so I assume either one of these will do." With that he continued his licking and grooming of Myrtlepaw's filthy fur and his purring never stopped throughout, the grey tom drawing Myrtle ever closer to him and he rested his head on his back comfortingly. "Are you alright though, little one?"


Doepaw was all of a sudden thrown off and pinned. As she heard Myrtlepaw's taunting she knew what she had to. And so she rolled into his paws, knocking him off balance before slightly pinning her ears to listen for where he was moving before standing up and mockingly stuttered, "N-No... you're...the..one...who...will...not...escape." With that she threw herself at Myrtlepaw, hopefully getting the distance right but she landed just short and instead of landing back on his larger back, she ended up landing just in front of him and her momentum carried her into him and they tumbled together, Doepaw trying her best to just escape from the grasp but then a sound came out of her throat that she rarely allowed, a laugh. She had rarely laughed and this time... it was just ridiculous. She was enjoying herself so much in Myrtlepaw's company that everything else seemed to shadow and she could let down her walls. Finally coming to a stop after having rolled over each other, Doepaw laughed again. "Come...at...me...slow..poke."

Doepaw walked slowly as she was crouched underneath Pinepuff's belly. The little apprentice was still shaking from the trauma and the smell of blood that reached her nose and even covered it before it ran off in a drizzle down from her muzzle and the drip, drop, drip, drop, sound was so apparent to the little tabby's sensitive ears. When Doepaw was shoved into the den she froze for a second before the blind apprentice felt Pinepuff's comforting fur next to her again. Her senses were a complete mess her ears still ringing to the drip, drop, drip, drop of the blood that had yet to be stemmed - well it kept flowing partly due, mainly due, to her constant shaking that kept loosening up the clotting blood. And so when Pinepuff called out, Doepaw whispered slightly, "Wood...peckers." She could still feel the bird's beak making the hole in her head as she fell out of the tree and the bump to her side. "Wood..peckers..," there was it again, the slight paranoid whisper.

[Arie]

-- RedHead --
At Flintspirit's comment about him being proud of her climbing the tree, she became a tad bit more confident but she still shoved her head back into his fur. "I... I.. am... not ...someone...to...be...made...fun off. The...woodpecker...poked... a hole! in...my head." There it was. And she let out a relieved sigh but was still slightly annoyed. Pushing her head away though she tried to focus on where she assumed his eyes were, her shaking slowly going away and she could collect her thoughts better and therefore explain her situation, despite the blood that still crusted the most of her face and nose. "The...woodpecker...hit...my head... made.. me.. fall...out...of..the tree. Not... my..fault...it scared...me." With that she tried her best to clean the wound on her down despite her anxieties about leaving the den. She would preferably not leave it to leave her exposed to the birds but... it was still frustrating her mentor just thought she was making a fuss.. "The birds... there... was... a... warrior...with..me. To..watch...out...for...birds..but... it..still... came...and... poked...a hole!" She was extremely upset about the fact that she had tried to make it the best situation for herself but it had still ended up bad.. "I...cannot...see the...birds... I didn't.. know..if it...was...going..to carry...me...away." That was her biggest fear, that she had just released. She was so absolutely terrified of birds because she was afraid she was going to become bird food like her parents had always talked about ever since she was a kit. Her own littermate had been carried away by a bird, born deaf instead of blind like Doepaw, but it was still a fear that terrified the little apprentice.

"I sure hope so! It would be very fitting." Sandflight purred.

When Scum licked her chin and fell, the she-cat giggled and began grooming his large and exposed underbelly. "Well, I'm glad you did join. We could use more darlings like you around here. Perhaps I could show you around camp?" Sandflight offered, leaning back when he wiggled his paws in the air.

Scum rolled over onto his tummy, pausing to scratch the floor behind his large round ears. "Sure sure, I'd love that!" he chirped, shifting onto his bright pink paw pads.

"Doing anythin' with the company of a lovely bird like you would be fantastic, Sweetcheeks," The ball of naive kitten before her tried to wink but ended up blinking with both eyes. his own face was flushed with embarrassment but he bounced back quickly, "Lead the way, Luv!"

[|+sari+|]

Duskstar limped from her den to lay her eyes on a familiar face. A face that had not been seen in the Clan for moons. She quirked her brow, approaching the younger molly. "Amberpaw, you have returned. Where have you been?" Her head tilted to the side inquiringly.

×

[ Slushie Wings ]

Hearing Buckbranch's call, Duskstar looked up from where she had been grooming herself, her eyes narrowing. She stood and limped over to the tom, gaze focused on the ShadowClanner he had pinned. "Information? Well, spit it out, ShadowClanner. What ever could be so important to share?" she growled. With the recent raid, she despised ShadowClan. Icestar and her selfish pride had injured her Clan, killed one of their warriors and disfigured a few others. She hated it.
( hxneysuckle ) Amberpaw dipped her head respectfully, her large ears perked as she responded to her clan leader, trying to stay composed, yet she was feeling anxious. Would the leader yell at her? Call her stupid or crazy? She hoped not. “I have been searching for someone that had left the clans many moons ago... I was totally in love with him, and after he left, well... He didn't return, and so I had decided to search for him. But I found out he was gone for good, and I was not able to find him. I-I fear something terrible happened to him. So I decided to return... I know it was dumb of me to search in the first place, I'm sorry. I wasn't here when you needed me... I was stupid, and I want to make it up to you.“ if Amberpaw was anything, she was honest. She has never lied in her life, and wasn't about to start. She would take the consequences, if there were any, for her dumb decision.

[kittygirl]

ashcloud chuckled at the confusion lionpaw gave, "do you have questions? I'd be happy to answer them." ashcloud assured the tom. he glanced back at speckledrose, he wanted to go sit with her and leave lionpaw...but he knew being a mentor was a very important role. He took a seat by the new cat.

[chaton]

The old cat laughed softly at Myrtlepaw's question and Ploverspot answered, "Well... I assumed you would want a gift. I did not kill her, just so you know... but showed her that I would most definitely take the other ear and eye next time she showed her face across the Thunderclan border. I do not disagree with many things but punishing trespassers needs to happen fast. And well I couldn't exactly skin her to give you a blanket to line your nest with so I assume either one of these will do." With that he continued his licking and grooming of Myrtlepaw's filthy fur and his purring never stopped throughout, the grey tom drawing Myrtle ever closer to him and he rested his head on his back comfortingly. "Are you alright though, little one?"

Doepaw was all of a sudden thrown off and pinned. As she heard Myrtlepaw's taunting she knew what she had to. And so she rolled into his paws, knocking him off balance before slightly pinning her ears to listen for where he was moving before standing up and mockingly stuttered, "N-No... you're...the..one...who...will...not...escape."

Finally coming to a stop after having rolled over each other, Doepaw laughed again. "Come...at...me...slow..poke."

Myrtlepaw gazed uneasily at Ploverspot, unknowing that the warrior was capable of such actions. Regardless, this didn't make the apprentice want to pull away from the comfort of his mentor, even if he was somewhat concerned. It was another quiet moment of Myrtle enjoying the rhythmic grooming, purring into the fluffy chest fur of Plover as he was pulled closer. "Well... I... think... I... am... okay. But... I... I... feel... scared... still. It... it feels... like... like... maybe... Shadow... Shadowclan... is... coming... to... to get... us... and... force... us... to... to... to go... back..." His words were muffled as he spoke, he was shaking by the end, the though of going back to Shadowclan caused quite a bit of fear to strike the russet tom. Myrtle's thin figure pressed closer against Plover as the thoughts of this outcome grew more invasive, the apprentice was shaking more as his worry grew, clearly Shadowclan couldn't just be trespassing for no reason in his mind.

-----

Myrtlepaw had assumed he had already won, letting his guard down as he still kept Doepaw pinned. However, all of the sudden he seemed to lose his balance, tumbling to the ground in the process. Standing up quickly, he noticed his friend, now free and nimble, seemingly ready to strike another blow. Before he could react Doepaw had already leaped, it seemed she misjudged the distance though as she came crashing down in front of him, rolling into him and causing them both to fall over in another tumble. Once again Myrtle felt that unfamiliar smile shine on his face, along with a small laugh. For some reason he just felt way happier when with Doepaw, especially now that they were having so much fun together. Finding himself stuck under her when they finally reached a halt, Myrtle kicked lightly with his hindpaws against Doe's underbelly to free himself, standing back up. "Al... alright... you... asked... asked for... for it..." Judging his distance, the russet furred tom leaped, landing just behind her as he grabbed a hold of her tail with his paws in the process. "Got... your tail... what... are.. you... you... gonna... do now?"

Fishfin yawned and stretched as he ate a nice squirrel. He hoped somebody would come by to ease this loneliness.

Robinflight was happy to keep the Medicine Cat's attention, "The ShadowClan raid," he meowed. Eyes glittering with pride, he added, "You should see the other cat." His gaze hardened for a heartbeat, "Even if we lost, I don't think they'll forget our power."

As Lionwhisker applied herbs to the scratches on his face, Robinflight's whiskers twitched and his fur felt warm. This den must trap a lot of heat, he thought.

"hopefully they wont....I don't know about the other clans...But I'm starting to really hate shadowclan, irisflame...I don't know why she's in that clan...she isn't as ruthless as they are.." he meowed . Then he cleared his throat " sorry lad...a bit side tracked ...speaking of the other cat, did you send them running home?" after he finished the face, he moved to the other areas.
.....

Fuzzy Arie

Eyes darting towards pinepuffs familiar voice, his eyes widened "woodpeckers? Good starclan what was she doing to anger them? I've known them to be kind birds " he meowed as he head over. " but yes of course, speaking of how are your injures doing love?" he asked . Shouldn't be too hard right? It should just be like any other wound. .... "it's ok dear, they won't hurt you here, let ol Lionwhisker take care of that eh?" he said in a soothing tone. Hopefully to calm her down.

[Sneakyfox55]

"If you didn't sneak out of camp maybe you would've been an apprentice too, you know." Smokekit mewed, refusing to glance at the tomkit.

He flattened his ears tightly against his head. "That was an accident!" he hissed.

[Quasar]

After touching noses with Ivorypaw, Breezehen made her way back to Mumblefoot with a soft farewell, allowing her time with Ravenspirit. "I accidentally startled her! I feel so bad, but after I explained she seemed to be less upset. She's is quite sweet though."


Mumble

Mumblefoot softly laughed, You're going to love training with her! I can't wait to see what kind of warrior she is going to become under you! she purred, nudging Breezehen.

[nocturnal]

The befuddled, golden-pelted tom glanced up at Ashcloud. "Yeah, that might take a while. I have a lot of them," he explained sheepishly. Lionpaw had no idea how most of anything worked. "Could you explain... everything?" he ex-loner inquired. "Are there any rules I should know? Am I allowed to leave camp, when do we eat, who should I not speak to without permission; that type of thing?"

[kittygirl]

ashcloud eyes went wide and her broke out into a laugh, after a second he collected himself and chuckled a bit, "you're an apprentice lionpaw, not a prisoner!"[/COLOR] ashcloud said at last, "you can eat whenever you like, just uh remember not to be greedy and you are allowed out of camp as long as a warrior is with you." ashcloud had almost finished, "one more thing, you don't really have to ask to speak, unless you are talking to duskstar." He pointed with his tail up at the leader, "and don't worry she's all hiss no claws." ashcloud purred, "the only reason I say you should ask to speak to her, is because she is a very busy cat." ashcloud warned his new apprentice, "other than that, you have nothing to worry about, I'll teach you everything you need to know about clan life." He assured him.

bmkmb

[nocturnal]

Lionpaw gave his trademark grin, slightly reassured, although not completely. "Thanks," the golden tom said. He wasn't greedy, he was just thankful he had a place to live without rogue ambushing him every other day. It was a dangerous, yet eventful life. He hoped that living in a clan proved to be just as exciting. "Could I hear about ranks?" Lionpaw asked. "There's leader, Duskstar, and then - are kits and mentors a rank? I'm an apprentice, then there are warriors..." he trailed off, not sure what else there was to name.

[Echosong101]

Echosong padded quietly beneath Highpeak, wondering what Duskstar would say.

[Sweetie]

(I’ll just assume they finished the game after the ceremony)
Ivorypaw let out a squeal of excitement as she started to flea running around the nursery. She thought it was a bit weird, running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off, but if she had to act like a fool to fit in, she’d do it.


(Sure)

Ravenspirit grinned as he chased Ivorypaw around the clearing. Running left and right and all around. It made the senior warrior happy to see that his daughter was having a splendid time. A couple times he was close to catching her but quickly slowed down. He managed to catch the tip of her tail a few times too.

Bugpaw looked around the clearing for his mentor. Cloudsound? What a nice name! The black Tom's smile started to turn to a frown, where was he?

[MagicCat99]

He flattened his ears tightly against his head. "That was an accident!" he hissed.
Smokekit rolled her eyes. "Yeah. An accident. You accidently wondered out of camp." She mumbled under her breath.

[Quasar]

Mumblefoot was laying down, stretched out and relaxing in the shade. She let out a large yawn, and propped her hear up on her paws. She was bored, but she didn't want to bother anyone. She sighed, watching the kits play outside the nursery.

Deerpetal padded out of the warriors den, with her fur all nice and clean. The brown spotted she-cat glanced around the clearing and noticed Mumblefoot watching kits outside the nursery. Those kits were cute. Dawnpetal walked up to her. "Their cute aren't they?", she meowed.

[TeamFlowstream!]

Heartkit blinked her eyes open, waking up from the best dream she'd ever had in her four moons...
"Mumblekit! Wake up!" She whispered, prodding her brother by the side. As he blunk his eyes, Mumblekit realized that it was his sister who woke him from the warm nest. "This better be good," He growled, wanting to go back to sleep. Heartkit didn't mind how angry he was - she just wanted to tell him her dream! "Guess what I dreamed about while in the nest?" She asked briskly. "What?" Mumblekit asked, a little bit curious now. "Here we go..."

"So when I woke up from my nest, I was in Thunderclan, but everything and everyone was different - including you! We were both warriors, and the leader called for a clan meeting. As I walked outside, it wasn't Duskstar who sat onto of her usual rock, it was a completely different cat... it was a tom with completely black fur, not a single white one! He had strange yellow eyes that reminded me of the sun... they made me shiver..." Before Heartkit continued telling her dream, she shook a little as she remembered the same, yellow eyes. "Then, he said, 'Heartdawn, you are now the leader of Thunderclan!' He didn't even use the the right words, but I still became leader! After that, I didn't get my nine lives yet, but it was fun being the leader! You became my deputy, and after a little, night started to fall. One of the warriors told me that the gathering was tonight, so I chose some warriors to leave. But here's the worst part. As I set off, I felt strange like I was lying on something... then, I woke up here in the real forest!" As she concluded, her brother stared at her with excitement and disbelief sparkling in his eyes. "But wait, here's the trippy part..." Heartkit's energetic voice faded into an excited whisper. "What if that dream was from Starclan?" Mumblekit's eyes melted into disbelief now, all of the curiosity fading. "And you're a medicine cat? When hedgehogs fly."
"Yes, but-"
"Why don't you keep your beliefs to yourself?" Mumblekit grumbled, starting to doze off. "But Mumblekit..." It was too late. Mumblekit was already sleeping, not seeming to hear a single thing his sister was saying. Dang it, she thought as she, too, started to sleep.
(The dream wasn't actually from Starclan, I'm just keeping Heartkit and Mumblekit active ^^)

Deerpetal padded out of the warriors den, with her fur all nice and clean. The brown spotted she-cat glanced around the clearing and noticed Mumblefoot watching kits outside the nursery. Those kits were cute. Dawnpetal walked up to her. "Their cute aren't they?", she meowed.


Mumblefoot rolled onto her back, turning her gaze to Deerpetal Yeah, they sure are. I would love to have some kits of my own one day. Or, adopt some, at least. she sighed, closing her eyes to think about what life while caring for kits would be like. She opened her eyes again, softly looking at her fellow warrior. I remember when I was a kit. I was so loud! she laughed, remembering all the times she got into trouble as a kit.

[Madelaine]

[ Mumble; ]

Deerpetal nodded, "Your not the only one. I want to have kits of my own someday. They are just so darn cute.", she meowed. The molly wanted to show them how beautiful nature was. As the other molly spoke again she began to think of what she was like as a kit. "I was always asking my father about the different types of animals.", Deerpetal added.

Mumblefoot nodded in agreement, Indeed they are. The molly closed her eyes, relishing the comfortable silence. she looked back at deerpeatal, who was your father? she asked, searching the other molly's expression.

Mumblefoot nodded in agreement, Indeed they are. The molly closed her eyes, relishing the comfortable silence. she looked back at deerpeatal, who was your father? she asked, searching the other molly's expression.

Deerpetal didn't really like talking about her father now that he was gone. he had been her only family, since her mother was a rogue. "His name was Stormrage. He died when I was an apprentice.", she replied. Deerpetal hoped she wouldn't feel sorry for her. It was a while ago since his death and she had gotten over it.

Mumblefoot dropped her gaze to her paws, ...My father died before I became an apprentice. he had a really bad case of greencough. His name was Pineheart. she quietly mewed after a second of silence. She rested her tail on deerpetal's flank.

Deerpetal's father didn't die from a sickness and it made her feel sad that her father didn't die an Honorable death like her father did. "My father was killed by a badger.", she meowed. The worst part of it all was it was because she had been a very curious apprentice.

Mumblefoot smiled, No matter how a warrior dies, if they served their clan well, it was an honorable death. she grinned Let's start talking about easier subjects. I can tell you don't feel comfortable talking about your father. she mewed, nudging the other she cat's shoulder.

"Got... your tail... what... are.. you... you... gonna... do now?"

{Gonna end it here then send them over to the training cave prob, or the territory}

Ploverspot stopped licking Myrtlepaw's face and his own turned into a worried expression as he pulled the apprentice into his embrace. "Little one, little one, no one is going to hurt you. Don't you worry. I will always be here to protect you and care for you. Shadowclan wouldn't care come back to hurt you, and they won't want you back thats for sure. Its too big of a fight for them to get one clan cat and well.. Ice is not that prideful of a cat come back after she's just raided." He nuzzled Myrtlepaw gently again before flopping down on the ground and dragging the young cat with him. "The sun is nice here Myrtle. I think you've got a friend here and despite the short time you've spent here you already seem more comfortable and more in tune with yourself. I am so extremely proud of you little one and I know your parents would've been too. Now help me clean up behind the ears so we can go out for a training sessions so you can finally learn how to defend yourself."

--

As Myrtlepaw grapped her tail Doepaw let out a short frustrated laugh. She was officially defeated and she realised something in this moment, that she in fact did not like loosing. And so she flopped backwards towards Myrtlepaw with her back aimed towards his face, she hoped that he would he prompted to release her tail but when he didn't she just flopped onto the ground with an exhausted groan. She was not used to using her muscles like this despite them still being in good condition from all her shaking. "I...I... I..give...up...You've...defeated.. me." With that she flexed her neck and began licking at her all too ruffled up chest fur, or so it felt to the blind apprentice. Realizing then that her fur was all covered in dust she poked Myrtlepaw with a paw assuming that the other apprentice would probably be just as dirty as she was. "No.. no.. more.. play. But..but.. can.. you..help... me.. clean... my... fur? Because... then... I... can... clean... yours... for...you."

The tom stood in disbelief at Doepaw's admittance of defeat, he couldn't believe he had actually won something! There was no reason to get overly excited about his victory though, he wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of his friend. There would be more fun in the future for sure, but Myrtlepaw was now ready to rest and relax. "Yes... I... I.. can... help you... clean... your fur. We... we... both... both got.. quite... dusty." The russet furred apprentice settled down close to Doepaw, leaning forward to give the fur behind her ears some gentle licks. He knew that was the hardest spot to reach, as you couldn't normally groom that area without the assistance of another cat. He was careful to go slowly, he would not let a single speck of dust get left behind on his dear friend. "Thank... thank you... for... playing... by... by the... way.. It... was... was... very nice... to... spend... time... time with... you."

[Dawneye]

Nightkit hesitantly walked into the nursery, trying not to be seen. She looked around the nursery for an empty nest, hoping no one would notice the kit walking in, or the fact she had even been gone.

Ravenspirit grinned as he chased Ivorypaw around the clearing. Running left and right and all around. It made the senior warrior happy to see that his daughter was having a splendid time. A couple times he was close to catching her but quickly slowed down. He managed to catch the tip of her tail a few times too.
She laughed as he caught her tail,” My turn?” asked Ivorypaw before turning to chase Ravenspirit.

[Sneakyfox55]

Smokekit rolled her eyes. "Yeah. An accident. You accidently wondered out of camp." She mumbled under her breath.

"I didn't mean to get lost." He narrowed his eyes at her, growling, "I know wandering out was irresponsible but it's not my fault nobody tried to look for me."

[MagicCat99]

"I didn't mean to get lost." He narrowed his eyes at her, growling, "I know wandering out was irresponsible but it's not my fault nobody tried to look for me."
Smokekit looked down. She had only heard he wondered out from one of the queens, not this part. "Sorry." The she-kit mewed.

Smokekit looked down. She had only heard he wondered out from one of the queens, not this part. "Sorry." The she-kit mewed.

"...Whatever. It doesn't matter now, I probably won't be an apprentice for another moon or so." He furrowed his eyebrows, then blinked, feeling a bit sorry for himself. "At least you don't have that on your record. I bet you'll be made an apprentice without any issues when you're old enough," he grumbled.

[RedHead]

"I'm not making fun of you Doepaw, I'm actually really proud that you were able to climb a tree." Flintspirit meowed, a bit confused as to why she thought she was being made fun of. He hadn't thought he'd come off that way. "Oh.... you fell out of the tree too?" Maybe this was a little worse than he had originally thought it to be. Flintspirit listened quietly as Doepaw continued speaking, the tomcat now realizing this was a bigger issue than he'd written it off to be. "I see..... Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was... that bad." Flintspirit shifted in his nest a little bit, before tilting his head with a small smile. "But you're okay right? Like I said, I promise everything is going to be okay. Even if you don't feel like it right now." He reached out with a forepaw to give her a small cat hug, hoping that he could somehow make up for his earlier... lack of sympathy.

"Probably would be better if I didn't go with you. But, I'm gonna go ask Lionwhisker if my leg is healed!" She paused. "It feels pretty much healed but, I'd rather have Lionwhisker look at it." She smiled, trying to hide her disappointment.

Foxbound smiled, glad that her apprentice seemed to be thinking things through and genuinely trying to get better. "Alright, I'll catch up with you later then, hopefully you'll have some good news." Foxbound meowed, giving Duskpaw a smile before turning to go find Ivypaw and Bouncesnarl.

The Calliby was sitting in the clearing, head held high as she looked around for the feline she was assigned to. She was supposed to patch up the Nursery, since it had managed to get a hole in the ceiling, some of the poor queens and kits were having trouble napping during the day.

Aspenpaw couldn't quite remember the name of the feline Gloomy...er...Gloom, she'll just call em Gloom. That and she didn't really remember what the feline looked like either! Hopefully they'd recognize her, or else she'd be in a bit of trouble.

The older grey and white she-cat padded a tad bit listlessly towards the nursery. Gloomywind was still deep in mourning for her grandson and her mate, but her only natural reaction was to push herself to work harder. She recognized Aspenpaw quickly, she kept track of most of her Clanmates and didn't often forget who was who, even if she was quite old. Still, she had a fondness for younger cats and if the apprentice she'd been assigned to help the nursery with was eager about it, it'd leave her with a good impression.

"Hello, youngun," she greeted with a rasp to her voice. Her eyes were dull but she tried to keep bright for the sake of the job. "Let's get started, shall we?"

The She-cat watched as an older looking feline approached her. Ears swiveled forwards. She didn't want to assume this was Gloom just quite yet, however once the molly approached and greeted her, Aspenpaw replaced her calm expression with a soft smile. Giving the Older feline a curt nod. "Hello. I'm sorry I don't remember your name, excuse my rudeness. Would it be alright with you if I called you Gloom?" he asked, tilting her head to the side.

The Cream Calliby noticed right away something off, the cheery air seemed forced. She kept her maw shut, however. No point in asking, seeing as though the Older feline was currently trying to hide it. For now, she was just to observe, maybe a little later she'd ask. Or maybe Aspenpaw was just thinking too deeply about it and Gloomywind was just tired.

"Just tell me what you want me to do." Aspenpaw chirped after a few moments of just looking at the older She-Cat.

Breezehen looked for Ivorypaw, both in the nursery and the apprentice den, not sure if she had been comfortable enough to transition to a new sleeping den. She gave a lopsided smile when she found the younger cat.
"Hey, there. Feel like exploring the territory some or would you rather get in some training? If you'd like, Ravenspirit could even come with us."

Ivorypaw looked at Ravenspirit,” I want to stay with Ravenspirit here. I’m not ready to kill a living thing like a mouse...I think if your gonna force me I’ll see the territory...can I do apprentice duties instead?” she asked in hopes of not having to leave the camp.

[Polaris]

Mosskit was sitting in the darkest corner of the nursery, watching all the kits. She was always in a grumpy mood, or so most cats thought. If someone looked close, they could tell she was just very lonely and needed a friend. She shook her short, smooth ginger pelt, her brown eyes watching the cats intently. She had nothing better to do. She suddenly turned, her white muzzle catching a scent. She saw a kit sneaking back into the nursery, clearly trying not to be seen. Mosskit walked over to where the kit was and sat down, interested in this kit. "Where were you," she asked, with a course voice.
Dawneye

[Dawneye]

Nightkit jumped in surprise, her fur standing on end as she looked at the kit next to her. “I-I was just off making dirt and then I um.. went.. to.. the... elders! Yeah I went to the elders den for a story!” She mewed, slowly letting her fur lie flat again as she looked at the kit “why do you care? No one usually cares when I just wander off, or if I really exist.” She shuffled her paws just a little bit, looking at the kit with her bi colored eyes. wolfnight

[Polaris]

Mosskit scoffed as she heard the other kits excuse that could barley be called a excuse. Her fair was standing up, she talked fast, and she paused a lot. All signs of lying. She felt a little sad for the other kit. She has no one to look after her too... "I-uh...Well if you went to the elders den then what was the story about," she asked. Dawneye

[Abyssopelagic]

Ivorypaw looked at Ravenspirit,” I want to stay with Ravenspirit here. I’m not ready to kill a living thing like a mouse...I think if your gonna force me I’ll see the territory...can I do apprentice duties instead?” she asked in hopes of not having to leave the camp.
Oh! Alright, then. That was a first.
"Sure thing! If you don't feel ready, we can hold off for a few days." Apprentices NEVER wanted to do their chores and it was a relief she had the oddball and wouldn't have to poke her about it. Hopefully this was a trait she kept.
They didn't currently have any elders (for which Breezehen was thankful, she wasn't sure she could handle being in the elder's den) so they would likely either help the queens find bedding for their nests or help the Medicine Cat sort through herbs.

[Dawneye]

“It was about how the clans started.” She replied without hesitation she’d heard that story a million times “why are you sitting over here by yourself? Isn’t your mom worried about you off in the shadows like this?” She looked at the kit, sitting down in the empty nest. “Or are you like me and don’t have one here?” wolfnight

[Polaris]

Mosskit scowled a little. She knew the kit was lying, but she had played it out pretty smooth. She was surprised when the kit asked why she was there. "It's none of your business why I'm out here," she replied, still not comfortable on the topic. She turned away from the she-cat, not wanting to talk to anyone anymore. She started to walk away, back into the shadows.
Dawneye

[Dawneye]

Night kit quickly got up and followed the she cat “wait! Don’t go.. please.. you’re like me! You want someone there don’t you? You want.. a friend?” She asked, praying she was right and didn’t just offend the kit she was hoping to befriend wolfnight

Ivorypaw gave a small nod,” A-Alright. Y-You can lead.” she meowed feeling a bit more confident after each word.

[Polaris]

Mosskit stopped, surprised to hear what she had heard. She turned around slowly. "W-what?" She wasn't used to have someone caring about what she did. She decided she should give it a chance. At least this kit seemed like her. She circled around and walked back to the kit. She sat down next to her. "Sorry if I seemed...Grumpy. Let's start over...I'm Mosskit." She tried a smile. She hadn't smiled in a long time so it looked more like scared racoon.
Dawneye

[Dawneye]

Nightkit smiled, knowing that the kit was trying to smile too, and happy to have someone like her for once. “I’m Nightkit. Also it’s okay, I understand wanting to be grumpy, but I try to stay positive, it’s all I’ve got after all. She sat down and curled her tail around her paws, looking at the she cat, her tail tip flicking around curiously I wonder if I can really tell her where I was... do I trust her? she wondered to herself, not daring to say it out loud wolfnight

[Polaris]

(This is the first time i have told Mosskit's backstory!)

Mosskit swished her tail happily from side to side. She was impressed at Nightkit for trying to stay happy. She took a deep breath, preparing herself for what was to come. "I...Don't have any family. My dad was killed by rouges. He was ambushed while hunting, and there were too many cats for him to handle..." She looked at the ground, emotions flooding into her eyes. She managed not to let any of her emotion leak. She quickly put up her wall, hiding her emotions. "My mom was filled with a lot of grief...So much that she...She ate death-berries..." She took a deep sigh, still grieving.
Dawneye

[Dawneye]

Nightkit hesitantly rubbed against Mosskit carefully, in a comforting way “I’m sorry for your loss, but at least you’re still here, and you can have them look down at you proudly from starclan.” She stepped away, worried she had hurt the kits feelings. She looked down at her paws “I don’t remember my parents...” she shut up quickly, not wanting to seem like she was trying to be rude in any way wolfnight

[Polaris]

Mosskit was grateful for Nightkit's comfort. She put her tail on Nightkit's back to show her thanks. At least she knew her parents. Poor Nightkit. "Well, if your parents were here, I'm sure they would be proud."
Dawneye

[Dawneye]

Nightkit shook her head “no parents would ever be proud of me... no parents would be proud of a burden who people would be okay with dying..” she sighed, gently trying to lick her scabbed over cut wolfnight

Ivorypaw gave a small nod,” A-Alright. Y-You can lead.” she meowed feeling a bit more confident after each word.

Seedcrush poked his head out of the bush and said to Ivorypaw, "Psst over here!"

[Quasar]

Pinekit was currently trying to climb up the nursery walls, because she thought she would be able to defy gravity. She was grunting as she dug her small claws into the walls of the nursery. She lost her balance, and fell to the ground "Oof!" she groaned as she got up, the air knocked out of her for a couple seconds.

Pinepuff felt so bad for little Doepaw. Such a sad sight. Her green eyes studied the scared apprentice. "You'll be okay dearie, nothing will hurt you here." The brown tabby promised her before she heard Lionwhisper speak to them. Pinepuff looked up at him and gave a slight saddened smile. She hadn't known woodpeckers to attack apprentices either. It was all vary new to her. Yet, she just wanted to make sure Doepaw was okay. Couldn't have any of the young getting to injured on them. It was to sad of a sight for the larger warrior. "Oh my injuries are quiet alright darling, Doepaw's are more important at the moment." She spoke but by the look on Lionwhisker's face Pinepuff was pretty sure he understood what she meant. The young tabby was bleeding pretty badly in Pine's opinion and was scared out of her mind. So sad.

[Madelaine]

Mumblefoot smiled, No matter how a warrior dies, if they served their clan well, it was an honorable death. she grinned Let's start talking about easier subjects. I can tell you don't feel comfortable talking about your father. she mewed, nudging the other she cat's shoulder.

Deerpetal was glad to be off this topic. She didn't like talking too much about it. "What's your favorite thing to do?", she wondered. They might as well get to know one another. It was an easier subject. Well at least it was in Deerpetal's mind.

[Fuzzy]

RedHead

A smile spread over her face. Almost as if amused by Cherrybubble's response. "Oh, I know darling, vary capable I would say." Pinepuff cooed. She was well aware that the black and white warrior wasn't unable to take care of herself. At the question slight surprise flashed in her green eyes before quickly vanishing. It got bitten off remember? Pine silently reminded herself. "Quiet alright, nothing I can't manage. I am a grown warrior after all." The brown tabby answered a slight smirk creeping onto her muzzle. Why not use her own words? "Don't worry, the creep who did this can't even use one of his legs right anymore. Serves him right." Pinepuff huffed. She really didn't like Foxpudge, if that was really his name. Cannibalistic crazy cat? No thanks! She would rather stick to more normal fighting if any.

Deerpetal was glad to be off this topic. She didn't like talking too much about it. "What's your favorite thing to do?", she wondered. They might as well get to know one another. It was an easier subject. Well at least it was in Deerpetal's mind.

Mumblefoot thought about that question for a bit. hmmmm... favorite thing to do... She lifted her head to look at Deerpetal, "Well, I love collecting feathers. I know that sounds like a riverclan thing, but I find it to be very calming. I like to think that I have quite the impressive collection, you know!" she mewed.

Deerpetal thought that was cool. It was similar to hers in a way, but her favorite thing to do was collect flowers. She loved all different kinds of flowers. "You must have a lot of feathers. I like to pick flowers and be one with the earth.", she responded. Deerpetal could name some flowers even if they were given a random name.

Mumblefoot gave deerpetal a large smile, Maybe we should go out into the forest together sometime to collect flowers and feathers! She offered. She started to get up, "Do you want to see my collection?" she inquired.

Deerpetal nodded, "yeah we should.", she meowed. The molly stood up when Mumblefoot stood up. She shook her fur out. "I would love to see your collection.", she replied.

Deerpetal nodded, "yeah we should.", she meowed. The molly stood up when Mumblefoot stood up. She shook her fur out. "I would love to see your collection.", she replied.

Mumblefoot bounded off to the warrior's den, "Follow me!" she called out to the other molly

(continue rp in the warriors den)

[Quasar]

Mumblefoot entered the den, dipping her hear to the other warriors. She lead Deerpetal to her nest. Lifting the nest up, She showed Deerpetal a large collection of feathers. Hawk feathers, magpie feathers, thrush feathers, sparrow feathers, chickadee feathers, the list could go on!

Deerpetal followed behind Mumblefoot and padded into the warriors den. The molly went over to the other mollies nest and saw all the feathers. They were amazing. "Wow that's a lot of feathers. Could you name all of them?", she replied.

[Sweetie]

She laughed as he caught her tail,” My turn?” asked Ivorypaw before turning to chase Ravenspirit.

Ravenspirit skidded to a halt and bumped into Ivorypaw as she turned. "Huh?" He managed to say before she started to chase him. He barely was able to turn around but tumbled over his own paws as he tried to scramble away from her. With his limbs all tangled up and started the tom fell face flat on the floor.

Mumblefoot nodded, "yup!" she chirped, "This one is a sparrow, this one is a hawk, this one is a thrush, this one is a goose, this one is a crow, this one is an owl, this one is a raven, this one is a dove, this one is a vulture, and this one is my favorite. It's a kestral feather," she named them, pointing to them with her paw.

[lio]

She listened for suggestions, though as she did, Duskstar realized she had looked over Faithkit [ Shimm ]. The kit's story did make sense, and she nodded in acceptance.

"Alright. You will be allowed to join the Clan once more and in time you will be named an apprentice. I am sure you would like to be named with Aspenkit."

Then, she returned her gaze to the crowd. It seemed only Buckbranch [ Slushie ] had given a suggestion, unless she had looked over anyone else.

"That may work, though we did try that last time and it did not end very well. I will think over your suggestion and give an answer once the games are all planned. Thank you for the suggestion."

With that, she gave one more moment before deciding that she was finished with this meeting-- she greatly needed a nap.

"This meeting is dismissed!"

Duskstar leaped down from the Highpeak and hobbled into her den, exhaustion weighing on her.

[dino.]

[ Beau ]

Nodding to Duskstar, Buckbranch turned to Cormorantkit with a smile. "How about it, kiddo?" he asked as he gently prodded his apprentice in the shoulder with one paw. "You ready for some battle training?"

[dino.]

[ hxneysuckle ]

With a deep breath, Buckbranch approached the entrance of the den. Truth be told, he was a little nervous about trying to talk to her about a topic of this size. But, truth be told, he was worried. Which probably surprised him more than it would surprise her, honestly.
"Uh, Duskstar?" he called out softly. "Do you mind if I come in?"

[MagicCat99]

"...Whatever. It doesn't matter now, I probably won't be an apprentice for another moon or so." He furrowed his eyebrows, then blinked, feeling a bit sorry for himself. "At least you don't have that on your record. I bet you'll be made an apprentice without any issues when you're old enough," he grumbled.
Smokekit nodded. "Yeah." She simply mewed. "Hey, I'm going to be an apprentice in a moon too, maybe we're going to become apprentices at the same time." She had thought of it and decided to just mew it out loud.

-- Fuzzy SilentLamb --

Doepaw pressed her still shaking body against Pinepuff's, drawing comfort from the warm and larger warrior who reminded her much of her very comforting and gentle mentor Flintspirit. And so when Lionwhisker called out she took a small step forward, still pressing her slight body against Pinepuff's to have a feeling of where everything was. It was all so disorientating, the only scent being the metallic smell of the blood that blocked her nose and the taste of it as it dripped down her muzzle still. Slowly she took another step, her tail curling around Pinepuff's leg to have an idea of where she was still. "Fell...out...of...a... tree," her voice was barely louder than a whisper. "Because....woodpecker... attacked." That was it, she had done her best to explain to what had happened. And she then slowly laid down on the soft ground inside the medicine cat den, her head still shaking from side to side and the blood still dripping down her nose in drip, drop, drip, drop patterns.

Slushie
Cormorantpaw smiled, feeling a bit rejuvenated still from his time with his siblings and nodded, sounds great, Buckbranch!” The young tom’s smile faltered, though, as the excitement and tentative happiness he’d started feeling began to hurt. He wasn’t sure why the emotions made his chest hurt, but he didn’t like it. It made him want to cry. Cormorantpaw pushes it all down and nodded to Buckbranch as a way to say he was ready.

[Dawneye]

Nightkit looked at her new possible friend “I’ll be right back soon, I need to go talk with Duskstar about something important, I’ll be back soon hopefully.” She mewed, walking out of The nursery wolfnight

[Dawneye]

Nightkit hesitantly came into the leader’s den, her entire body shaking, I have to at least ask. I’m not a burden and I need to prove it. she took a deep breath “Duskstar I need to talk to you about something very important.”

[Sneakyfox55]

Smokekit nodded. "Yeah." She simply mewed. "Hey, I'm going to be an apprentice in a moon too, maybe we're going to become apprentices at the same time." She had thought of it and decided to just mew it out loud.

Thornkit blinked, glancing back at her. "Are you messing with me?" he asked suddenly.

[MagicCat99]

Thornkit blinked, glancing back at her. "Are you messing with me?" he asked suddenly.
Smokekit blinked back. "No. Why would I be?" She answered.

[Sneakyfox55]

Smokekit blinked back. "No. Why would I be?" She answered.

"Because," he growled, "you're..." You're being too nice to me, he wanted to say. "What games are you trying to play here?" he went on, trying to sound angry, but ended up being more confused than anything.

[MagicCat99]

"Because," he growled, "you're..." You're being too nice to me, he wanted to say. "What games are you trying to play here?" he went on, trying to sound angry, but ended up being more confused than anything.
Smokekit flicked an ear. "I'm what?" She mewed when he didn't finish his sentence. "None." She honestly answered, also being confused. Does he think it's weird I'm nice to him or something? Probably not a lot of people are nice to him because he usually isn't.

[Sneakyfox55]

Smokekit flicked an ear. "I'm what?" She mewed when he didn't finish his sentence. "None." She honestly answered, also being confused. Does he think it's weird I'm nice to him or something? Probably not a lot of people are nice to him because he usually isn't.

He blinked again, not sure how to word his next question. "If you're not messing with me, then... What are you doing?" He flicked his tail, almost anxiously. "I don't... Don't you have some sort of... Motive?" Why was it bothering him, all of a sudden? Why was she still talking to him?

[MagicCat99]

He blinked again, not sure how to word his next question. "If you're not messing with me, then... What are you doing?" He flicked his tail, almost anxiously. "I don't... Don't you have some sort of... Motive?" Why was it bothering him, all of a sudden? Why was she still talking to him?
"Talking." She flicked her ear again. "No..." She flicked her tail, becoming more confused. "You think, just because you're not nice, I can't be either?"

[Sneakyfox55]

"Talking." She flicked her ear again. "No..." She flicked her tail, becoming more confused. "You think, just because you're not nice, I can't be either?"

He snorted, glancing down at his paws. "I don't see why you should. I've... Given no reason for you to be nice, for StarClan's sake. Do you not get that? Are you just mousebrained?" He was starting to think she really was; why would she still treat him fairly after all the things he said to her?

[Socks]

Bravekit Queenie

Ravenpaw merely yawned during Hawkmist's rundown of what was to come, he would follow the tom around the territory for now but he didn't have the intention of trying in his hunting attempt. He watched his brother get called away so he lazily looked towards his own new mentor for a signal to head out.

-

Softbriar tapped Eveningpaw with their tail once the meeting was brought to an end. "Ready to head out?" They asked, sure the young she-cat was more than prepared for the tour. Their injury wouldn't inhibit walking around the territory or even some hunting demonstrations if Eveningpaw wasn't too tired after the tour.

[MagicCat99]

He snorted, glancing down at his paws. "I don't see why you should. I've... Given no reason for you to be nice, for StarClan's sake. Do you not get that? Are you just mousebrained?" He was starting to think she really was; why would she still treat him fairly after all the things he said to her?
"I guess I do, but it's just my personality. No!" Smokekit flicked her small tail.

[Mango]

Ravenspirit skidded to a halt and bumped into Ivorypaw as she turned. "Huh?" He managed to say before she started to chase him. He barely was able to turn around but tumbled over his own paws as he tried to scramble away from her. With his limbs all tangled up and started the tom fell face flat on the floor.
Ivorypaw giggling, tapped him,” I got you!” she teased.

[Mango]

Seedcrush poked his head out of the bush and said to Ivorypaw, "Psst over here!"
Ivorypaw glanced at the warrior,” A-Alright.” she meowed walking over to the bush, mostly confused why the warrior was acting suspicious.

[Leucos]

atleast she's doing better heading to get some fresh wet moss , he came back in what he felt like forever. "if you don't mind keeping her company , that'll be appreciated . It seems she's taken a liking to you...I don't think she'll warm up to me just as fast " he meowed through the moss. " it'll be ok dear. Now, Lionwhisker is gonna clean you up ok? " he wouldn't do anything without doepaws permission ...she seemed more shaken than his past patients.

[Wings]

Hobbling into the den, Duskpaw's nose scrunched up. She would never get used to the strong scents of herbs. Padding farther in, putting a bit of weight on her leg. She looked around for the familiar golden tom. "Lionwhisker?" Her eyes searched the den until she came to the tom treated some other cats.

Ears perking up, he looked over his shoulder at the familiar face "ah, duskpaw! Good to see you again! How are you fairing ?" he did mean her leg and injuries . ..But he didn't mind other bits of information .

[Wings]

"Good to see you too! I'm doing fine, my leg feels pretty much heal so I just came in to see you. You?" Her tail swished in the background as she spoke. Then when Frostpaw jumped into the den, she jumped. Sending a glare to her, she looked back to Lionwhisker, annoyance flashing in her green eyes.
