Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
Willowpaw | ShadowClan Apprentice | 7 Moons | She/Her, Female | | Kitty soft paws [inactive] | Heightened Perception [smell] | The apprentice's head shot up, startled, as her name was called. Her unprepared ears as listened carefully as they could to the Warrior at the entrance of the den, straining. Her heart gleefully jumped. Training! Finally! She brightened visibly at the Warriors words, and quickly got up from where she'd been lounging around. Willowpaw shook out her fur, that was ruffled from the moss bedding of her nest. ´´Uhm, erm, Y-Yes, I-I do need some training,´´ She mewed quietly. She stifled a small smile of delight as she went over where they'd be going, thought she felt her pelt prickle uncomfortably as she said they'd be going by the Thunderclan border. She stood straight, trying to force a serious and dignified expression on her face, which for the most part worked, but the excited face underneath leaked through the mask of deference in a few places. ´´Th-That sounds, uh, that sounds great!´´ She answered softly. |

Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
Willowpaw | ShadowClan Apprentice | 7 Moons | She/Her, Female | | Kitty soft paws [inactive] | Heightened Perception [smell] | She trailed behind Moonmeadow, taking a look over her shoulder every so often, until they reached a small clearing that broke through the cover of conifers. She settled down in front of Moonmeadow, as they tasked her with sniffing things out. She nodded, and carefully lifted her nose up, and opened her maw slightly to take in more scents. There was a lot of things here, she noticed, and not just a stream, mushrooms and brambles. ´´I-I smell..... herbs, uhm, some prey, and i smell water from th-the stream. Er, theres frog, and th-then a billion other th-things I don't know about,´´ She mewed, still focusing on the scents around her. [Heightened Perception has been used! well, technically its perma active ;-;] |

[ Note: For simplicity's sake, we'll be going over the Windclan border and say that this was before the mink announcement? Or if you don't want that I can edit this post and we'll head straight to the Icy Heartlands. ] |
Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
Willowpaw | ShadowClan Apprentice | 7 Moons | She/Her, Female | | Kitty soft paws [inactive] | Heightened Perception [smell] | As the ground beneath her paws began slowly turning mushy and muddy, Willowpaw had a feeling she'd be a good chunk less clean by the time they were done with this stop. Croaking Swamp is bit icky, She thought as Moonmeadow stated the name of the landmark cheerfully. As the Warrior circled around, she mewed a quiet agreement that the place sounded like it was brimming with life, and with a look around, it was obvious it was well with plants, "Uhm, yep. Lots of- err, lots of sounds," Though the frogs and toads were having a singing showdown for the grand prize of two bugs, she was practically having a battle to the death with all of the smells surrounding them. Moonmeadow seemed impossibly undisturbed by the abundance of horrible smells, and they actually seemed to enjoy it here. (Yeah prob best to avoid the windclan border) |

〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 7 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes] ||__________________________________________|| The first thing she saw. Big, spooky tree. That was a pretty big no-go, those trees looked scary. They were just cobwebs, as Moonmeadow said. But they were all knit together in the trees, and there were a few random patches that seemed to have emerged from nowhere. And it was named after a former Leader. She wondered if this place reminded those who were close to him that he was gone. They probably didn't come here often then Her eyes landed on the cobweb trees again. She felt scared. Something could easily hide in the thick of cobwebs. If she squinted hard enough, she thought she could see little black lines that were mingling around the cobwebs. Either those were just little bugs in the trees. Or something else. "Uhm, is there anything in th-those trees?" She squeaked. She had to stop herself from cringing. Her tone was like a mouse discovering claws for the first time. As she recovered from the weird squeal she'd made, she remarked that Moonmeadow seemed untroubled by the clearly dangerous trees, seeming much to cherry for the landmark they were in. Moonmeadow always seemed a bit hyperactive, if she was gonna be honest. They seemed impossibly fine with the swamp, the weird trees, and they'd probably still be cheerful if there was a skulk of growling foxes in front of her. She respected that. She went back to observing the trees with wary eyes, the little creatures were still there. She still needed to be on her highest guard. _____________________ || || |

〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 7 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes] She nodded sheepishly, she'd just practically had her tail fall off in fear because of a few caterpillars! Stars, the useful cat she was going to be. She took one, final, long squint at the trees, she felt like she could now hear the caterpillars. She could certainly see them. Her whiskers twitched in front of her narrowed eyes, and she turned to Moonmead- she hopped up with a tiny yelp, and looked frantically around. She spotted Moonmeadow, already within the pines of ShadowClan's territory, fading to a silhouette. She scrabbled after her, pathetically tripping at one point. She'd fallen quite far behind from the Warrior. She could smell the creek before she heard it. She followed Moonmeadow, and soon she was within sight of a body of water. It wasn't rushing as fast as she thought water would be. It was slow -sluggish even-, it seemed peaceful; safe. She liked this landmark, just from its first impresson. Her ears flicked to Moonmeadow.... Wait. This place was a literal hive for predators?? Everything had to have something terrifying about it, didn't it? There was probably a whole championship on who could have the most scary things between landmarks! And every year's winner would probably do a-a- a victory dance or something! "Uhm, uh, are there- uh, pre-preda? About the- they- are? N-n-nevermind," she stammered, but she'd lost her trail of word. Her mind was cooking (She should stop letting it do that), and it was cooking big. It thought it was such a brilliant and masterful idea not even the master-est of masterminds could master its mastering. She should go eat the water! Yes, eat it, not drink. And what was she gonna do? She was still embarrassed from her last talking fail. "C-Could we- Could we, er, th-the water? Stop by the water?" She wasn't sure where that came from, last time she checked she didn't have a library of random questions. But luckily the chosen one to ask wasn't too bad, and she could maybe learn something by the creek. She was a few tail-lengths fro the water itself, and she wasn't about to go squabbling over to the clearly deadly and fatal creek without a warriors permission. |

Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 7 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes] She watched the water intently with large, green eyes, it was her first time decently close to a body of water larger than a puddle. It was sort of fascinating. Now, for that genius, brilliant, outstandingly bright sparky idea Willowpaw was currently unknowing of. She suddenly felt she could go for a lap of water right now. After hesitating, she slowly bent her head down to the gently flowing water, and tentatively took a sip. That wasn't too bad- oh wait nevermind. Now she was trying to... something? She felt like jerking her head away from the water, but she'd look like she was scared of it. Scared? Couldn't be her! As she somehow drank water wrong (Why am i doing this? I know how to drink it normally~?), she accidentally took a small breath, and now she finally yanked her snout up - sputtering. She went red with embarrassment, wasn't she the one who knew how to do basic everyday things, eh? Still occasionally coughing from her attempted but not planned breath underwater, she stood up from her crouch, and shook herself. Her hex-double-F-quadruple-zero-ing face aimed to the ground. She cleared her sore throat, "Uhm..... n-n-next st-sT-S- COUGH- st-stop?" She mewed quietly. She was a low hanging, abashed shadow behind the Warrior leading towards the next Landmark. This time it was a border, she could tell by the scents of other not-ShadowClan cats keeping pretty strictly to the other side of an invisible wall. She nodded as Moonmeadow gave her the task of telling them what she saw about it. She stood still for a flash, ears swiveling and eyes searching. "Theeere's a-a decently sm-small st-stream, o-or a nar-narrow river, I-I think," She reported, "A-And its very...... dry, uhm, h-here." She paused. She was uneasy about the other clan's scent, or rather the fact she didn't know who it belonged to. For all she knew, it could be the border to a hidden Arch Nemesis or something. Her judging eyes went over to where they're territory seemed to come to an end with a clash to the other clan's land. That bush over there could be hiding whatever the forest had to offer, could leap out from its cover and kill her. Something could drop from the trees and land a headshot, firmly knocking her out. Her voice felt like it was hiding a small dagger of you-have-just-been-cursed-to-die-by-stutters-okbyenow, ready to stab at her at any moment, and right now she didn't feel like half-evaporating of cringe because she heard her own speech falter. She shied away from asking questions, an added bonus that she wouldn't look too nosy. She plopped herself down into a sitting position, as at this point her legs were starting to tire, feeling like they'd give out from beneath her any second. She turned to Moonmeadow, hoping they'd tell something good about this place for a change of the currently spooky-scary pace. |

Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 8 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small, fluffy tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes and an atrociously fluffy tail] This place looked alright. It looked pretty and it was nice and dense and cozy and lots of plants and smelled pretty good. But she''d learned from her past mistakes. There was gonna be something absolutely bone-chilling about this place. Just as she'd thought that, Moonmeadow said that Moonlit Grove was A GRAVEYARD. THERE WAS PROBABLY A DEAD CAT. RIGHT BELOW HER PAWS. She bristled. 'No wonder this place is forbidden to hunt at! She thought, 'Anyone who tries to kill anything will probably get- get possessed by two thousand hundred thrity-four spirits or something!' She could be getting possessed RIGHT NOW! Should she start begging for mercy to the ghosts?? The smartest thing to do would be that, of course! But she'd look like a bird. But like, a stupid bird. Maybe a dumb tree was more fitting. "Th-they aren't, like, right here, right now. A-Are they?" She hadn't mentioned who, but Moonmeadow must know. Surely they must feel the vibe of this whole place, right? But maybe Moonmeadows own cheerful vibes would rule out the Groves' though..... Oof, if that was the case, then she was looking like she had her pupils crossed. |

Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 8 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small, fluffy tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes and an atrociously fluffy tail] She'd nod, though on the inside, Willowpaw still thought that some wheezing elder would do some voodoo-magic and start crawling out from its grave. Or something like that. She herself knew that was irrational, but to her mind it was the truth, if maybe a little wonky. 'But... you don't look the same after death. Something caused you're death. Won't you be grumpy about it? Angry? Sad?' She'd think, 'Wouldn't you act different in some way?'. She'd not mention that, but it still lurked in the shadows of her mind as they began traveling to they're next destination.She'd wrap her tail around herself as the wrecked ruins of the Twoleg nest came into full-view. Nothing about this was appealing, and there was nothing to lure her into thinking this might be a nice little place to stay at. Willowpaw eyed the cogs that grew off the main building, and she'd momentarily ponder what it was used for. Mourning Ruins. She'd think that was a pretty fitting name, and almost had to hold back a shiver. "An old Twoleg nest that burned moons ago. It killed a couple of cats as it came down". That sentence should've been enough to make Willowpaw pass out. Now that she thought about it, there was probably a lot of things that'd make her pass out, or want too at least. She'd try to imagine this place lit on fire, all while cats were still inside the nest. Willowpaw almost couldn't with how beat down it looked, how'd the fire get its self spreading there? Did it climb over there? That no longer spinny cog thing would've probably been tasty for fire? But mostly, the thought of cats dying trapped inside the nest lit aflame with no way to get out... But er, at least prey was starting to rejuvenate near here? She'd still not have a cell about her understand how Moonmeadow was not completely spooked out from the, you know? Big spooky once-burning-everyone-to-death broken down water-cog-holding Twoleg nest?? She was pretty sure Moonmeadow had nerves of steel or something. She'd realize she was probably waiting for her to ask a question or two. That didn't count as like, really weird? She hadn't been staring, had she?? She didn't normally stare! Did she even stare in the first place? Did Moonmeadow think staring was really weird and not normal? What did Moonmeadow think of her? Her mind would keep on spinning in a little circle of 'Did i do that? Thats really bad but did i do this?' and after maybe having three threads of thought at the same time, she mewed, "I-It won't burn a-again. R-Right?" |
Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
[ @Myling - Willowpaw ] [ Sorry for how long this took to finish /w\ I think we planned to do another training or am I misremembering? If so, we'll keep that one more concise and shorter if you want :3 ] |
Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 8 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small, fluffy tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes and an atrociously fluffy tail] She was pretty thrilled as Moonmeadow said they're next stop wouldn't be so scary as basically all the other ones. She'd had enough scares for one day. Soon the ground was turning slushier with mud, and her trot ('Er, if you could call it that) shifted into a stumble. So this was Saltmeadow Marsh. It seemed pretty quiet and peaceful, and she thought she could hear water rushing somewhere in the background. The only threats she knew about were here were RiverClan and predators. That was a record, wasn't it? Also, speaking of RiverClan, "R-RiverClan doesn't, uhm, t-trespass often, i-i think? Right?" [Yep, we did plan on battle training, and lets keep that lesson a bit more brief! short post because eepy//] |

Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 9 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small, fluffy tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes and an atrociously fluffy tail] She felt very very happy that the spooky was over. Spooky was gone! Scary was no more! Everything was in perfect harmony (except for this and that and that and this and almost anything you can think of)! So they had another lesson. This one couldn't be too bad, right? She did some tracking of her own training. She could remember all of her lessons pretty clearly: mostly because they involved her being very very very scared. So now all their was left was- OH GOSH NO WHYYYY- Battle Training. If you didn't know her, then you didn't know why the two words Battle and Training were a big no-go for her. First of all GOING TO LEARN TO KILL SOMEONE. Rename it to murder classes! She was gonna go all stab stab with the MURDER WEAPONS HER PAWS HAD! At least call it self-defense training! Seriously, you did NOT have to add SOAP to the already SALTED WOUND! That you ripped the bandage off of! She was very very much very scared of this lesson. Mind blowing. "B-B-Battle Tr-Training. Uhm, i-i've g-got ba-battle training left." Now hopefully she didn't explode from being hit by a sheathed paw. In her defense of explosion: one day that paw could be equipped with deadly slicer slice-idies. |

Re: ‘Through the Willow Trees’ [T]
〚~Willow'Paw~〛 | 9 Moons | ShadowClan Apprentice | Female, She/Her | Purrks: Kitty Soft Paws, Heightened Perception [smell] [a small, fluffy tortoiseshell she-cat with pale green eyes and an atrociously fluffy tail] She realized how interesting the ground was for around the billionth time that day. She certainly didn't feel like she was feeling up for it, but would she seem lazy if she said she wanted to rest? An apprentice should be eager to learn, especially for battle training and all the fighting. Willowpaw was pretty sure. She convinced herself that she wouldn't get called out for laziness for just taking a break or a nap, and that she could go refresh bedding a bit before her lesson. That should balance it out fairly. Or it was the most unjust unjusticely unjusticeful unjustice to ever injuticely injusticefully- "Uhm, er, i-i'll take a small b-break. If- if i can." She mewed quietly. |
