I’m Here..... It’s Been a while. When did I come... I didn’t know
I felt falling and Alone. I'd never grow old and decided. It wasn’t time to go.
As the ship roared past, I stayed. As I had come. Lost. Alone. Empty.
Somewhere. Something. Had brought me here. But what?
Fast asleep within the apprentice's den was Moonpaw. She restlessly tossed and turned as she slept.
All around her had been swallowed by a shadow of sorts, only the ground below her visible. As she slowly rose to her feet, she felt like she was being watched and turned around to see a cat with an abnormally large grin and these eyes that just screamed 'RUN FOR YOUR LIFE' staring down at her. Almost immediately she took off like a rocket, hopping over everything in her path and soon coming to the edge of a cliff. She stopped and turned around again, the mysterious cat slowly getting closer before suddenly raising a claw. Just as the claws made contact with her she finally woke up.
Moonpaw jolted up with a gasp, eyes wide as she looked around in confusion and fear. Damn her nightmares.
She slowly padded out to clear her head in the clearing.
Sunsetgleam moved their paws towards the Starpoint, sitting in the crowd with their mouth put in a smile. They doubt there would be more new warriors, but hey, maybe they could be wrong. New apprentices, probably. What would it be like being a mentor to another cat? They just became a warrior not long ago so they probably won't get an apprentice. Not yet. They wished this meeting wouldn't bring any havoc. Last meeting was great, and this one should be no different.
mudsmoke felt a sense of pride as Fishpaw did exactly has he instructed her too. She was a good listener, and he could tell she had really been paying attention to his teachings. Her hunting crouch could use a bit of work but for a beginner it was very good! When he spotted the prey she was stalking he felt a bit doubtful. There were different ways to hunt different prey more effectively, he had forgotten to tell her that. If she didn't catch this one then he would explain why. Fishpaw managed to surprise Mudsmoke, despite using the wrong hunting style she had caught the rabbit! It was a clean kill too-
"I see, I see. Well done, guppy!" he praised her, padding over to her and inspected her catch. That was quite impressive, at this rate he was sure his apprentice had a natural gift for hunting. Though it could also have been luck. "that was quite impressive, one day you might even better than me at hunting!" The sound of some cat approaching them caught his attention, facing the direction of the sound he spotted splashleap. She carried two fish in her maw, so the river was fishable then. Between hiss apprentices rabbit and splashleaps fish's, his tiny vole was kinda embarrassing.
Mudsmoke left Fishpaw with the two pieces of prey the had caught and walked a bit of a distance away until he spotted something worth his while. A dove. Dropping into a hunting crouch, he slowly crept towards it making sure his paws didn't make too much sound. Once at a close enough distance he calculated his pounce, waiting for the right moment. Just as the bird was about to take of Mudsmoke leapt at it, he claws raking across its wings and dragging it back down. He managed to find its neck snap it though it's frantic flapping had been quite annoying. Making his way back to the group, with now dead dove in his jaws, he set it down next to his vole.
"this looks like a good enough haul, we can head back to camp with this unless either of you would like to give another shot at hunting some more?" he asked, looking at both Fishpaw and Splashleap. Usually he would have suggested they hunt a bit longer, it was something he really enjoyed after all but if they stayed any longer Mudsmoke was sure if he would be able to hike back to camp. Though he didn't show it, his leg was starting to feel too painful and standing on it was difficult.
[+1 Dove] ||[2/5 ; 1 Vole, 1 Dove]||

- Splashleap ( @gs29513 )
- Fishpaw ( @PINTO BEAN ) {btw pinto, the thing at the bottom of my post is just to keep track of what I'm carrying since each character can only carry up to five pieces of prey or anything. So for you it would be 1/5; 1 rabbit. Since Fishpaw only caught one rabbit. You don't have to do it but I just like writing this to keep things organised for me /w\ I hope that made sense, otherwise your doing great :3}

she/her | riverclan deputy | 30 moons go with the flow, rapid recovery, beefed up t3
Padding back into the camp just in time to hear her brother call a meeting from atop the Starpoint, Dusklion changed trajectory away from the rock she loved to lounge on and instead took a seat near the growing crowd. For a moment, she glanced around to see if she could spot Wisteriawren's familiar pretty pelt among the cats gathered, but it seemed like she wasn't here yet. A scoff left her as the deputy straightened herself up and glanced towards Fades.

Goldfish's eyes slowly opened as she heard Fadingsun's voice. After some night-hunting, the black and golden molly was feeling a tad bit sore and found waking up difficult. It seemed having kits had fixed her insomnia. That was weird. But, she couldn't be any more grateful. Sleeping was solid gold, and she'd learned to respect the art of doing it for more than an hour. Standing up and stretching each leg In turn, The Ace of Spades trotted out of the den, sunlight unspeakably pleasant on her spine. It compensated for the stone earth, which was rather cold. Her pink pads made soft thumping noises as she made her way toward the Starpoint, tail lightly swishing the ground. In all honesty, she was trying to shake the soreness from her haunches and shoulders. But in Reality it looked a little... well, actually, very stupid. A grin found its way onto her expression. A sheepish, amused grin at her own stupid gait. Well, it didn't matter as long as it stretched her out. To make up for that, Goldfish smoothly sat down, tail curling around her paws. Finding herself sitting next to Dusklion, she offered the deputy a tail-flick of greeting. "Hey there." She mewed. Oh, shoot, imagine Dusklion seeing her walk with moving her legs all funny. Oh, that'd be hilarious. Well, she'd been slightly behind her. So it was a 50/50 chance. It was a sore walk, so perhaps if she did see it she'd notice that. "Hows it going?" It was a deftly casual question, as Dusklion's look shed had for a moment on the patrol had not been forgotten. But the words came out casual and friendly. A bit cheery, but she couldnt help that. She was pleased with how Mari was doing training-wise. She had high hopes that she would remember the landmarks they had made up together.

At the sound of Fadingstar's call, Aspenkit was on his paws and making his way towards the gathering crowd of cats. It had been a few sunrises since the last clan meeting and from then too now Aspenkits would say he was getting used to the cold mountain air and the hard ground beneath his paws. It wasn't home though.
Two meetings, two meetings had been held in these mountains. They had been here for a while now, Aspenkits glanced up at where Fadingstar stood on the starpoint. He felt excitement at the idea that soon he would be looking up at the starpoint as Fadingstar made him an apprentice. A few more days, he told himself. Just a few more an he would be six moons. He sat down, not really mind to who he was sitting next too and looked up at the starpoint waiting to hear what was to be announced.

Brokenstream leapt to his paws and quickly scurried over towards The Starpoint, surprised Fadingstar had any announcements to make. But, then again, as he looked around the clearing it seemed there were several excited kits. He wondered who they’d be apprenticed to? Regardless, he was happy to see RiverClan continuing tradition and strengthening their numbers even more. Pride swelled in his chest. Nothing was better than being a RiverClan cat.

Purring in amusement, Brokenstream took note of the leaves in Duskleaf’s fur. He couldn’t help but wonder if that’s how he got the name Duskleaf. ”Salmon’s a good choice!” He agreed happily, turning to begin his path towards the river. ”Considering we’re further upriver, maybe this will be a good spot for them too.” They could feed several cats each if they both managed to catch some salmon, that’s for sure. Secretly, and maybe selfishly, he still hoped he could find a nice juicy carp. But regardless, as long as he could still eat fish with his Clanmates, he would be happy. At least something would feel like normal.
As he approached the river, he crouched down by the edge, careful to keep his shadow from showing on the surface as he searched to see if any fish were hanging out close to the bank. While they had a moment, Brokenstream couldn’t help himself from asking before they dove in. ”What do you think of everything going on with RiverClan right now? I mean, as RiverClan cat. Not a Lionheart.” Of course, as a Lionheart, he expected the leafy tom to support their leader, but he was curious if he had other feelings. ”I personally think Fadingstar and Dusklion are doing their best- other cats can grumble, but I don’t think any cat would want to be in their paws right now.” Admittedly, he was worried about if RiverClan would be forced to remain like rogues, but the leadership seemed to be holding everything together well, as of right now.
