ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[fishy]

Poppypaw padded into the medicine den, her ears fell back. "Sundust..? May I borrow some mouse bile? I have to check the elders for ." She groaned, she was clearly dissapointed but she brought the punishment to herself

bumblebreak === >

Looked like no one else was coming. Bumblebreak rolled her eyes; if they didn't want to show, that was on them, not her.

She turned toward Pebblekit with a wave of her tail. "Good to see at least one of you wants to become an apprentice," she quipped. "We'll be working on hunting basics. Y'know, the crouch, how to stalk, the right way to pounce, all the good stuff. C'mere."

She moved a ways away from the nursery, to give them both some room to practice. "Show me your best crouch and we'll go from there."

Duskwater, Cloudyflight and Fireflykit sat.

Rowanblaze and Mossykit both he/him

Rowanblaze was walking around then sat down while his adopted son Mossykit was looking at random things then padded over to his dad and then sat by him and asked him “Dad why do you barely talk to any of our other clanmates?” Mossykit was wondering why his dad barely talked to anyone sure Mossykit was shy but not as shy as his dad, after the question Rowanblaze didn’t answer then he mowed to son “Well my dear son it’s complicated but understand one day you will understand when you’re older mostly likely when you reach 12 moons old but as of now you’re only 2 moons old but anyway you can take a nap if you want to.” “Ok dad thank you.” Mossykit mewed sleepily then curled up near his dad and fell asleep there and being the dad thats kinda overprotective of their kids, he wrapped his black and gray tail around his son happy then heard padding towards him and Mossykit he then waited for the cat to come into sight |closed sorry but message me to rp or chat I don’t mind|

Jaystorm could hardly keep his pelt from bristling as little pawsteps toddled into his very own quiet little haven. It was only him and that child who had been tossed in here to waste away after a rather grievous injury for the past few moons (a shame, really! Now that boy couldn't ever fend for himself out here in the wild. It was only a matter of time until...), but thanks to their almost infinite age gap the elder never really bothered to acknowledge the younger tom. Seeing a new face other than him and the girl would have been a breath of fresh air to any other cat, but to the dark tabby...

His eyes narrowed as Jaggedkit nestled into a patch of moss beside Jaystorm. It reminded him of a series of halcyon days he'd never willingly recall - those of being alongside his own grey and white speckled mother, two little kittens curled up between Athena's forepaws, Sleetkit between his own. Once upon a time, they would have brought forth some sort of emotion in the elder, but in his advanced age, they were nothing more of a nuisance.

Jaystorm was a man of duty. While he didn't have much to focus on now, he knew it took a village to raise a child into something resembling a functional cat (something Thunderclan had neglected in recent moons, if his garbled mess of a granddaughter was anything to judge by). And, if there was no other cat to take on the herculean task of letting this irritating ball of fluff nap with them, then he supposed he might as well make one of the only cats left in his family seem useful. Maybe it would bolster his image enough to get him a flower on his gravesite once a season.

The young tortoiseshell kit followed Bumblebreak as she walked away from the kit corner. His tail was swinging with full force, fueled by excitement. He proceeded to do what Bumblebreak asked, crouch. He shrank, his hind legs bunched closer to him, his paws right beneath his shoulder, pressed between him and the ground. His tail was held high, as if to alert other cats that he was not a huge multi-colored mossball they should trample. He looked up at Bumblebreak to see what she thought of his posture.

Sootfur couldn't make out if Sparrowstar was angry or not, but she sounded extremely serious as she recalled again the mistake he'd made. I know it was a risk... but I also know Dovefluff was honest. I just hope she will fit fast and well enough in Thunderclan. But that wasn't the greatest problem.

The Thunderclan leader was quick to remind him the bad impression he'd made at the last Gathering, by addressing directly Dawnstar and Shadowclan without Sparrowstar's permission. But now... I have one more certainty. Of course it wasn't possible to address any problem concerning Shadowclan. It'd been clear when their leader had dismissed his words as useless, silly words coming out of a kit mouth.

But the most shocking revelation had been when Dawnstar had allowed his warriors to attack, and the other leaders had turned their back on that. If no one challenges Dawnstar by uniting together... If she, alone, without even a deputy can even break the truce under the full moon of a Gathering...
From that moment, hopelessness had tugged at his heart and he'd realized how much the four clans were unsafe.
...There is no clan left to defend Starclan's ideals.

Before leaving the den, Sootfur added: "I'm sorry for that, Sparrowstar... I didn't mean to disrespect you, nor to make Thunderclan appear weak or chaotic. But I had to do it." He left his head hanging low, turned back and left the den with slow paw steps, his tail trailing on the sand.
What would become of the clans?

(After Quietpaw's death)
Sootfur had left Quietpaw's body in the clearing. The whole clan was mourning her, but Rainpaw, Thrushfur and Quailfur were totally destroyed. He was too heartbroken to remain there, as the pool of blood kept on widening and soaking the snowy ground.
His head thumped hard, threatening to break his chest in a hundred shards, but his head felt made of stone. Rage pulsed through his veins and a sickening desire of revenge was making its way into his thoughts.

"...Sparrowstar." His voice came out unexpectedly firm, but it sounded different from his usual cheerful one. Was the leader inside? She probably already knows of his apprentice's death by now. Sounds of sobbings and cries reached the depths of the leader's den, and echoed all around.

"I want to lead a patrol. I'll find the fox that attacked Quietpaw and Rainpaw, and we'll drive it out of Thunderclan." He pictured the blood red pelt of the murdered, and sunk his claws into the ground. Its muzzle had touched Quietpaw's blood...
"We already have two volunteers. Sorreldust and Flameheart."
The scent would be still be fresh now. "We need to follow it before it starts snowing again, or its scent trail will be washed away." He spoke with urgency, noticing that his tears had stopped flowing on his fur, which was now drying up in the warmth of Sparrowstar's den. But his eyes were dark as the sky during a thunderstorm.

Roseraven moped about in the clearing. She wanted to find Asterdance and hug them, but she was scared of breaking their bones as well.

[Estelle]

Looking very happy and proud (despite her shivering, because stars! She was cold!) Vixenpaw padded in behind Quailfur, clumps of snow stuck to her belly fur and snow-covered cone still tightly grasped between her jaws. Seeing the new deputy, she rushed forward to drop her 'catch' at his paws, chest puffing in pride.
"Dup- Dupfur! Tushdup!! I saved her! I saved Quail!"
She squeaked, gesturing to both the cone and Quailfur.

A soft smile spread over her face as the deputy accepted her proposal, and she gave him a gentle nod. No need to fuzz over minor mistakes, and while she would have assigned a different punishment, this worked fine as well. "Well com'on then, Dawnpaw", she called and glanced for the apprentice. Time to actually show how a border patrol should be executed.
