Lastly, he took the Warriors to the river. Not all of his warriors were here, some stayed in the camp to help the Queens and Elders, others with the Apprentices. Some just didn't go. He wasn't going to force them though, this was to boost morale after all, try and see if he couldn't see a few of their smiles again. It had been a while since Riverclan had any...fun in a sense. It was nothing but fear and seriousness one season after another. Especially after Bucknight.

Fallenstar swiveled on his heels and faced his warriors, "You all will be having a Swimming Competition. Who can get from point A to point B first will be the winner. Of course, there are places to check in before hand." he explained. "I have a few of your clanmates posted around the River edges, Roseripple, Waveblaze, Reedcatcher, and Minnowscreech. You must stop and meet with them once you see them. Its their job to make sure you're fit to go. Make sure you have no scratches and aren't bleeding. Of course they're no medicine cat, they won't heal you, but they'll be deciding on whether or not your wound is light enough to continue." he hummed, nodding as he explained.

"In the middle of the River, as you know, there is a Hollow log, that is a checkpoint. In fact, it's your half way point. There will be two warriors posted before, and after said island." Once he finished, the leader hopped up on one of the boulders and looked down at the congregation of cats. " Do you think you can get to the finish line first?" he smirked.

"Get ready, Get set, GO!"

Feel free to start posting. However, remember, your cat will not be able to progress or be hindered by something until I roll your number, keep that in mind.

Ex: Blisteringstone hopped in the water and began pumping his legs, determined to win first place.

HOW IT WORKS
Get an Even Number: Your character progresses.
Get an Odd Number: Your cat is hindered by something.

There are 3 Different stages to this competition!

THIS HAS BEEN CHANGED!!! NOW YOU ONLY NEED TO GET 5 SUCCESSFUL POSTS TO GET TO THE HOLLOW LOG

AND 5 SUCCESSFUL POSTS TO REACH THE FINISH LINE

-First the starting point. If you get 7 successful posts [you get an even number] you will make it to the HOLLOW LOG.

-The Hollow Log is the mid point between point A and point B. At the Hollow log I will roll a number. If the number is Even, you can continue on with the race. If it's odd you will stay at the Hollow Log for 1 Turn.

From there, you will need 10 successful posts to reach the finish line.

After listening to his leader, Dirtfur leaps into the water and starts paddling with his paws. He is very determined to win.

Lionstorm didn't hesitate, his legs bunching as he sprang unto the chilly water with a splash. If anyone was going to win, it'd be him. The golden warrior was superior to all others, and he'd show Fallenstar that.

The white molly quickly jumped into the swift water. Lambdream was going to win this, and she was gonna show everyone. Sure,she wasn't the best at hunting. But she was a riverclan cat, and everyone knew they were known for being good swimmers.
The molly just had to swim faster than the others.
this should be fun She thought.

Mintflower was never one to care about clan morale or spirit, but she was one to love a good competition. So, here she was, standing at the waters edge awaiting her signal to begin. Mintflower may have been a terrible fight, but swimming? She was born to swim. As soon as she was allowed to go, the creamy she-cat jumped into the chilly waters with no hesitation. She began wading through the waters confidently, as though her small legs were no hindrance to her at all. I'm going to win, I'm going to win She kept telling herself, her ego being so big it was practically residing in Starclan at this point! She kept going, her passion to win pushing her forward.

PuddlePool hesitates as she jumps into the river. " What am I thinking?" she mutters under her breath. I am a terrible swimmer but i'm willing to give it a go!

Let the battle begin...

**Gold** · #8 April 7th, 2019, 08:09 AM

You can do this! Do it for your apprentice! Goldenglow thought as she jumped into the river.

Stormdream cautiously slipped into the river, I don't care much about winning, but hey, this should be fun, right? His paws started moving the water around him and his thin body glided through the water.

Tidalpool gave a wide grin, "This will be so much fun" her innocent voice chirped. She looked around at the others, noticing that they had already gotten into the water, "Oops," she sounded. She then, not so gracefully, splashed into the water.
