ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

[Puddle~]

@Finpaw

At the sound of approaching pawsteps, Ribbitpaw perked his ears, but didn't turn his head until he was sure the incoming cat had intent to sit with him. Once the other feline had settled, he recognized him as Finpaw, a fellow apprentice who he'd never quite talked to before. Now, when he came to this meeting, socializing hadn't exactly been among his plans. His intent had been more along the lines of simply sitting and listening. Yet, at the same time, perhaps some interaction with someone else could prove beneficial. It could give him a chance to work on both his social skills and involvement in the clan. Killing two birds with one stone.

"Hello." He paused and dipped his head in a polite greeting. "No, I don't mind at all."

Cloudberry thought this was it. No more pain and she would just get to raise her kits with Mountainmist and they would finally have a happy family. But no... the last kit, he wasn't moving. Wasn't he just fine when he was born? She didn't want to admit it. No, because it wasn't posable. The pudgy queen would lick the heads of all her kits as the began to suckle but she paused at the fifth kit. He looked like he was sleeping... but she knew he wasn't.
"Ehm.." Cloudberry cleared her through, ignoring the tears that ran down her face. She wasn't crying. It was just her eyes' way of showing she wasn't happy. Swallowing the build up of saliva in her mouth she would rest her damp muzzle on the little ginger and white molly suckling against her. "Bumblekit..." That was fitting for her already business and coloring. She moved over to the other little molly. "..Deerkit." Cloudberry breathed pressing her nose to the fawn colored kit. Fawn was used more often then Deer and Cloudberry didn't want her kits getting mixed up with someone else's. "Honeykit." She announced moving over to the first tom, his honey colored fur earning his name. He would take after her in size it looked... "...Sugarkit.." Cloudberry continued, pressing her now dripping muzzle on the almost white tom. Despite her never actually seeing sugar she was sure this name fit the tom. If not he could change it...
Now sniffling, the mostly white queen turned to her last son. The one that didn't make it. Cured stars taking him away. Because the pain of labor wasn't enough apparently! "And, he... he is Lionkit.." She decided. He would be a lion in StarClan even if they took him from her before he could even speak.
Pulling back from him she would look at her living kits. Bumblekit, Deerkit, Sugarkit, Honeykit. Why give her a fifth kit just to take him away? She was just fine with four... Cloudberry pulled her tail over the four kits at her belly before turning her tired tear filled gaze to Mountainmist. Her pale blue eyes reflecting the dim light in the den. For once, she was at a lost of words...

Ashkit curled up in her nest. She was tired

Her bright green eyes spotted Fennel-somethingNrather. Pumpkinpuff made her way over, their fiery tail swaying behind them like a proud flag on its pole. "Good Mornin', sweet cheeks! Awfully nice new leaf we be havin', don't we?" She purred, words falling off her tongue like sweet honey.

@chaton

Fennelhaze was minding her own business for once. She'd just woken up from a long nap and was still feeling quite groggy. Being greeted by Pumpkinpuff came quite suddenly to her, causing her to jump in surprise.
"U-uhh... yeah! New-leaf. It's good... mhmm." Fennelhaze meowed haphazardly, still trying to get her bearings straight. Why was the one day she wasn't ready for the day she finally met someone who could match her energy? Typical. She'd have to wake up a bit more, but after taking a moment to stretch, she turned back to Pumpkinpuff, tired smile ever-present. "Thanks for the wake-up call, you've got a lovely voice." Fennelhaze laughed quietly. "What did you need me for, dear? I'm pretty useless 'till I've had some food." Her fluffy tail flicked in amusement as she took a seat. What a way to start the day!

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Icestar nodded her thanks to Beastspark for handling the Dewpaw situation. That little brat was not worth all the trouble he caused. If he didn't shut his mouth, he'd be in trouble.
"Cats of ShadowClan," she began, her voice powerful and proud. "It is my honor to announce that we have an apprentice who has passed his final assessment and proved his worth to this Clan. Blackpaw [ @Mentallyunstable ], come forward to receive your warrior name."

She hoped this would boost morale at least a little bit. Warrior ceremonies were so few and far between these days, and the ratio of warriors to apprentices was concerning.

----Whisperkit----

A warrior ceremony? Ceremony... Tears sprang to his eyes as he thought about his apprentice ceremony, which originally wasn't due for a good moon or three but was now probably delayed because of the monster in the elders' den. He forced himself to blink them away, though - crying wouldn't help anyone, certainly not himself, and certainly not his mom, who was already distressed enough.

“Darkkit no I...” He paused looking down at her, “I’m just not ok.”

Thornpaw was silent, trying to think. What could it be?

Blackpaw stepped forward tenitivly, suddenly unsure of his actions.
