Blackwater Bog
In the heart of the Dark Forest lies Blackwater Bog, an unpleasant muskeg acting as a pool of rejuvenation. Far from the ideal hangout, Blackwater Bog's usage primarily stems from the impact its waters has on injuries. The lukewarm pond encourages faster healing and soothes injuries, making it an ideal spot to dip in when a cat is wounded. For Dark Forest spirits who are killed, this is often their respawn point and they appear in the bog's depths. The impact on living cats is not totally known, but it is believed dreamers who are invited to this location are gifted with fatigue and, if injured, are more sore when they awake, as if they slept on an uncomfortable surface.
This location always feels like Leaf-bare, with only the water itself offering any semblance of "warmth." The bog does not freeze over, but snow often decorates the dead plant material and surrounding trees. Cats who exit the water are more susceptible to feeling frozen and having their pelts ice over. |

Magpiewisp He/Him || Dark Forest @dino. The tom felt as though he was drowning. Scrambling to bring his head to the surface, the hot water stinging his eyes and nose. Within moments his head breached the water surface, and he let out a deep gasp. Drinking in air instead of the sulfuric water. The stench of the hotsprings made his nose twitch, and the crisp air surrounding the springs themselves made him wary to leave the water. Fury taking over once he remembered, oh that's right. His head was used as a rock that breaks seeds. Never in life, nor death, had he been so rudely treated. So Humiliated. A hiss coming from Magpiewisp, taking a moment to pace, or stomp, back and fourth in the pool. Tail brushing some of the loose gripping ice that clung to a rock off, ear twitching as he heard it fall into the springs. Soon it would be replaced. The freezing outside temprature mixed with the humidity of the springs often left everything covered in a loose, thin sheet of frozen water. As the water rippled, the former Medicine Cat realized. Oh. A certain leader had given him yet another body to add to the pile. Whether it intentional or not, he doesn't care. As long as he piques her interest enough he'd happily accept any blood she spills, until she realizes his goals are worth her efforts to work towards. Taking a moment to muster the strength, the tom allowed Bumblestar to appear within the pool. He hadn't had a living feline in this pool for quite some time. What were the effects again? It didn't matter, he couldn't remember. "Mind the water. I'd suggest staying within it." |
Re: Blackwater Bog
Bumblestar wasn't anticipating being dragged out of one dream and into another so quickly, but here she was, opening her eyes once again to a pool of water. Unlike the last one, something immediately felt off, as if the water was seeping into her very bones and weighing her down even in her sleep.
She wrinkled her nose, lifting a paw and shaking it it to get the water off as if that would help whatsoever. She had half a mind to straight-up ignore Magpiewing and clamber out of the water anyways, but a quick glance around the outer edges of the pool told her otherwise. Whatever she was standing in might have been slightly warm, but clearly stepping onto solid ground wouldn't bode well. With a lash of her tail she opted to remain in place. "So it seems. What do you want?" [ @SkeleStar ] |

Magpiewisp He/Him || Dark Forest @dino. The feline twitched his ear and quirked a brow at the molly. She seemed somewhat bewildered...or so he thought she seemed to be. Ultimately he didn't care. He didn't have time to care. His wounds were sealing, slowly, but sealing as he walked further into the bog. "Bit of a rude greeting with the information I'm about to give you. Doesn't matter." a pause as he stopped a fox length away from the molly. "You've been doing wonderful, giving me some...souls. I suppose we'll call them. A more recent one on the younger and dumber side, but no one could be worse than Beansprout." a snort. "Your clan is Poisoned, if I'm recalling correctly. I'd direct your gaze down to the water." he suggested. Although he waited for no confirmation as he dipped his head down and touched his nose against the sludge colored water. From the ripples a wonky yellow flower can be seen. Flickering between 5 long stems, or 4 short stems. Seemingly tucked away, hanging onto the edge of a cliff, or hidden within a rather damp cave. As fast as it appeared, it fizzled out of existence. "A Blazing Torment of poison it seems. In your Clan that is." he hummed. Hopefully she would understand the hint. He wasn't one to just hand out answers after all. Lifting his head the tuxedo turned to begin making his way out of the pool. "Dunk your head whenever you're ready to wake up." he offered. |

Lead the way!” She says, and lets her friend guide her in the direction of the sacred cave, out of camp and through the territory. The trek is long, and Larkwing briefly considers if maybe she should have informed everyone she was leaving instead of making the decision on impulse and stealing one of the clan’s LionHeart’s away from them when the current politics within RiverClan were… the way that they are. ==== It takes a moment for her eyes to adjust, but once they do, Larkwing notes that this cave is… unremarkable. ’Is Pebblesplash sure this is the right cave?’ She can’t help but think, though she doesn’t doubt her friend knew where she was going. Lark just sort of thought that it would be… more. She thought she’d be overcome by a feeling of grandeur. But the cave is nothing more than a cave. |

Magpiewisp He/Him || Ancient RiverClan Medicine Cat World Weaver Tier I :: Nightmare Fuel Tier I @FrostyGalaxy He knew it was coming the moment the Ginger one made his way into StarClan. Another bumbling fool made their way to the Moonstone expecting lives from StarClan. Sadly neither StarClan nor the Dark Forest planned on giving lives...anytime soon it seemed. Instead of the starry scape they were surely expecting, instead Magpiewisp pulled the molly to the Bog instead. The leader to be instead surrounded with sulfuric water and a crisp air. "So. You're the next mistake that believes they're fit to lead this Clan?" the tom asked. Letting her lead the way this time. He wanted to see what she'd say, what she'd do. How she'd react. After all she's in the Dark Forest territory right now, not safely tucked away in the Stars. |

She knows at once that this place is not StarClan. This place is beyond the reach of the stars, the convergent point where every cat who had ever done an evil deed was sentenced to remain. And now, she too was here. |
Re: Blackwater Bog
Ghostpaw is the most curious out of all the shadow clan appearances
Leaning a little to close to the edge of the water All of a sudden she sees herself but older. She looks closer and sees her death She's heard of warrior try to change their fate but end up killing them self earlier than they are supposed to. She hope what she saw was wrong. But was more real than she could imagine. But she didn't know that she still had time to change her fate and if she made the write decision coming up. |
Re: Blackwater Bog
Magpiewisp He/Him || Ancient RiverClan Medicine Cat World Weaver Tier I :: Nightmare Fuel Tier I @FrostyGalaxy The Tuxedo raised a brow as the molly spoke up. Annoyance bubbling up in his chest, which held true to the water they both were standing in. The lukewarm water now coming to a boil. "Is this what my Clan has come to? Full of somebodies and who Can's? A Clan who used to be compared to a Roaring River now nothing more than a pathetic trickle that tries to pass as a stream." a bark came from the Ancient feline. "Leader after leader nothing more than a sorry excuse of a leader with even sadder deputies! Even the Medicine Cats have been pathetic. You sit in your dens and wait for the world to claim you. For fate to take you." anger and annoyance. He'd killed and sacrificed multiple felines to grant his clan the Wisdom they once had. They used to be centuries ahead when it came to medicinals and yet here they were now. "Make no mistake. If you decide that you'll just await to see what life has in store for you. I'll be the one who will take your pathetic title from you in your sleep." a hiss as he stepped forwards. It wasn't a threat, it was a promise. "Your Clan will have no idea what happened other than another leader bit the dust as they slumbered away." he said with a snap. At this point the tuxedo was now pacing circles around the molly. Tail lashing and splashing water as he did so. Ripples splashing up against Larkwing's legs. "Your last mistake didn't receive his lives, neither will you." he announced, it was stated like a fact. A calmer demeanor about him now, but he hadn't stopped pacing. He hadn't stopped moving. "You'll earn them, something none of you have shown you can do yet. You can't go crying to the stars anymore you belong to me now." a pause as he stopped just beside Larkwing. "I'll be blessed, if RiverClan get's destroyed due to incompetency. I've made it great once. I'll do it again. However this time it will be through you. And you have a choice to make, you do as I say. Make it as great as it used to be. Or you die. You don't wake up, and your body rots by the Moonstone you all seem to seek refuge at." |
