[ smokestar's pov ]
Smokestar's tail lashed furiously as the patrol reported back. The rogues had come
back again, and now they'd hurt one of his cats. Thankfully, Mochaswirl's
injuries were shallow, and Tideblossom believed she would be fine with a bit of rest.
But the rogues had crossed yet another line. It wasn't enough to injure Jadewhisper,
now they had turned twoleg traps against the clan! And not just any member of the
clan, the cat who'd had the misfortune to be hit was Mochaswirl. Not two sunrises
prior, she and Stainedfeather had announced that they were expecting a litter!

If anything happened to those kits, blood would shed across the entire island, and
no cat would know peace until the rogues were dead.

Of course, the rogues would never see peace again. Smokestar would be sure of
that. And if Stainedfeather's aggravated actions since the patrol had brought
Mochaswirl back were anything to go by, it was only a matter of time before
Stainedfeather tried to set out on his own.

Smokestar rose to his paws, stalking towards the center of camp, fur bristling.
He let out a single yowl, drawing the clan closer. He could sense Honeyroot
and Tideblossom moving to stand beside him, and he lifted his chin. "These
rogues have plagued us for moons." he snarled "But no more. Today, we face
them, and we will hunt them down until they know the might of Smokeclan.
We are a clan founded on righting wrongs, stopping tyrants, and avenging
those who have suffered under the paws of cruelty. Jadewhisper and
Mochaswirl will be the last victims."

The clan cheered, and Smokestar nodded sharply. "Tumblecreek, Sandwhisper,
Stainedfeather, Nectarheart, and Sparrowheart. You were there when
Mochaswirl was made victim of the rogues. I ask of you, will you join me in
avenging her injuries?"

The rustling of fur shifted through the clearing as the five warriors stepped
forward.

"We will Smokestar!" Stainedfeather shouted. "We will!" Sandwhisper, Tumblecreek,
and Nectarheart echoed back. Sparrowheart's claws struck against stone, and
Smokestar knew that the mute warrior was with him as well. "We leave at once!"
Smokestar called "Let these rogues know that they've stepped too far!"

an endlessly ethereal beast, reality had been breathed to eternal life before the wandering kiss of his gaze. a wandering kiss fluttering upon flora and fauna… upon even the most grotesque of creatures.

creatures he would forever call beautiful.

even now… while the world had been rocked to an evermore of dreams, little critters still lingered close. asleep. asleep as the skies plummeted in delicate, milky ribbons.


sparks of scarlet and dark onyx adorned the gnarled bark of a branch that had been cradelled by harsh, bellowing winds. it was from the sparrow-wood. marred with the blemishes carved by frolicing squirrels, beneath the sienna woods, there lay treasure beneath.

ladybugs.
no.
a ladybug.

as if lost in a dream, the vibrant shades of carmine and scarlet had gone faint, a dwindling lusterless star draped a feathery blanket of irridiscent greens.
(+1 ragwort leaves, +1exp)

“i found a ladybug..” voice quivering like a delicate lily, the little, carmine soul lay asleep in the halo of his ivory talons. “they got swept away by the wind… can we- can we put them on a tree, daisystar?”

“in the sparrow-wood?” dainty features furrowed, a long pause fluttered by. “i suppose it doesn’t hurt does it? we still have yet to catch something.”

and now… the trio was beneath drooping branches and the remains of softly, billowing dandelions…[i] all of it crisp with the wavering touch of winter.

“there you go, buddy.” ever so gently, the little, carmine soul had been placed upon a gnarled branch, veiled by a sienna wood… a veil of protection for the countless, bitter nights to come. “perhaps… perhaps i’ll see you in the spri-”

“almost there!-” a startling, yet alluring mess of ivory curls, whisperfly had become the essence of billowing winds, seeming to morph into a huntress blessed with speed and eternal courage. a huntress that was successful in her hunt... and more!
(+4fp [hare], +1 starburst, +4exp)

"another hare!" a lyrical dulcet in the bitter hush of reality, starry eyes blossomed in the darkness. unfamiliar. "oh... i'm so awfully sorry to interrupt."
an awkward, songbird laugh adorned reality as her gaze wavered. "i'm furzetuft... i believe i met some of your other clanmates last time i came."
those starry eyes brightened once more, glistening with the alluring essence of a bejeweled sky. "i have a gift for you... it seems like you've completed a quest!"
(+1 shooting star shower, +1exp)

once upon a time… blemishes and the marks adorning her features were all that mattered.
like decaying roses, they seemed to blossom. devouring the ivory and onyx traced upon her curls, eliminating the serenity in the illuminated blues of her gaze and morphing it into the beady eyes of a monster.

of a bestower of terror.

she never wanted this.
she never wanted the reflection of a marred devil upon the azure swell of waves. she never wanted the eternal mark of countless blemishes… crowning her queen of the forever broken.

of the unfixable.

but upon the azure swell of waves… of illuminated tranquility- there was the blessing of starry angels. angels that breathed life and embraced the bellowing seas til they were still.
(+2fp [crab], +1 broom, +1 mallow leaves, +4exp)

still and asleep… like the song of mockery that had once been whispered ever-so relentlessly in her ears.

“viper?!?” sweet to the hush that had fallen over the sea, honeythorn was wandering upon the shores adorned with stardust and daylight. and beside her… a stranger.

a stranger whose eyes were like shores of stardust… endless and eternal. whose features were delicately wrinkled with… worry?

“who… who are you?”

a little awkward at first, the stranger’s eyes wavered, before flitting to hers. “the name is fennel… and i-i need your help.”
(fennel needs the patrol’s help! they are looking for a friend of theirs and would like the patrol’s help! do they assist fennel or turn them down?

Wanderers of the Bay

last post + last writer's response

◜∘⋅ ════ 🏖️ ════ ⋅∘◝

Viper was happy the group was coming to a good start, her paws striking at the soft sieves of sand to try and create a hole under the large log she pulled to the shales of the camp. A chilling wind biting at her fur reminded her about the raging leafbare. While they were in a place where they would be colder with the winds coming from across the sea, the camp's tunnels and guarded nature would keep them warm. Yet not for freshkill. They needed a place to keep food from rotting, in case of sickness or the freezing of tidepools. They needed an area to keep a stash of food in case of emergency, whether that being the worst coming to worst, or simply a storm keeping them from the outdoors. Viper wanted to be prepared.

The sand spilled from her paws frustratingly, and she grumbled to herself. She'd need something to reinforce the sand so it wouldn't crumble and widen the hole or collapse on itself. Water would only last so long, especially when the weather warmed up, and she only had the log to cover it. Sighing, she took a glance within the camp, hearing that pearl call to her. It was such a strange attraction. She was never one for shiny things, but this one.. it was different. Mystical, in a way, so alluring that when she thought about it, she could almost hear.... voices.. calling to her...

When Honeythorn yelled fear struck her heart like brambles through her skin. She turned around, eyes wide, fearing the worst, her heart ramming against her chest.. only to see a brown tabby, yellow eyes like ivory seashells worn yellow with time. Their coat was an oaken brown, and they shuffled their paws while approaching. they were nervous, maybe frightful even. They didn't seem like one to cause trouble, so she relaxed.

"You startled me." She said, a grin adorning her face once she realized that whoever this was, they were safe. She nodded when they introduced themself, trying to keep the air around them relaxed. "Well, Fennel, welcome to our territory! As you've heard, I'm Viper, that one there is Honeythorn, and somewhere around here is—"

"Owllight." The tan tom greeted, making Viper leap from his sudden appearance behind him, thin tail frizzing out. He snickered as Viper jumped, tail frizzing out and turning to aim a few half-hearted swipes at him. She wasn't used to him being so quiet yet!

Composing herself, she turned back to her clanmate and the new arrival, nodding.

"Yes, and that there's Owllight. We call ourselves Wanderers of the Bay, do you need something?" She asked, letting the tabby cat explain his situation. They were looking for a friend, and were very concerned as to where they ran off to! A spike of sympathy struck Viper's heart. Even as a fully grown cat, she knew how frightening losing someone you cared about was, not knowing where they were could be desparingly scary. She nodded as the cat finished explaining, giving them a reassuring smile. She glanced around at her clanmates, making sure the other two were alright with the decision. By the smiles and nods they both gave her, she'd say that was a pretty solid yes.

"Of course we'll help you, Fennel. The waves may be ruthless but we aren't!" She joked, gesturing to them with a paw. "What does your friend look like? knowing their features can help with spotting them."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Hazelpelt was very confident about her first patrol. She was absolutely sure that she'd catch loads of things - squirrels, rabbits, and probably an eagle, too! It was no lie that Hazelpelt was a skilled hunter; she was one of the best Peaceclan had ever met. Silverstar, Peaceclan's Commander, had told Hazelpelt that because it was her first patrol, she'd have to bring along Oakspeck, the hunter who'd been in Peaceclan longest. Hazelpelt groaned at these news.

“Morning, Hazelpelt!” Oakspeck exclaimed in a sing-song voice as he saw her. “Excited about today's patrol?”

“I was, until I heard you were coming along.” Hazelpelt teased. "And will you ever stop singing?!" Hazelpelt shook her head. She actually quite liked Oakspeck's voice, but compliments weren't really her thing. "Fine, fine." Oakspeck sighed. A heartbeat later, he tried to start a conversation. "Hey, have you heard the news about the Stranger?"

"Who hasn't?" Hazelpelt widened her eyes. "I think they might be a ghost. Or someone in control of the monsters that lie in the depths of the forest. Oh my goodness - what if the rogue group Honeysuckle and Otterglow chased away two moons ago are friends with the Stranger?!" As Hazelpelt voiced this thought, Oakspeck became more terrified than before.

"Hey, Hazelpelt?" Oakspeck asked. "I know we dislike eachother," Oakspeck knew that was a lie on his side. "..but could we stick together? Just when we're on patrols? You never know when you might need some help." Hazelpelt grinned at this. "Of course."

notes for responding writer

⋆ Hello! I'm glad to be back here and I hope you (my responding writer) don't mind me telling you a bit about Oakspeck and Hazelpelt - so, both of them like eachother but neither of them knows the other feels the same way. They have a love-hate relationship, so they'll often be heard saying things like "you smell of salmon" or "when you sing, it sounds like you're pulling a zebra's tail".

⋆ 55XP from October Quests and 95XP from September Quests! I'm pretty sure I haven't linked these before. <3
(In total, it's 150XP!!)

Cats of the horizon
Last Explore Post | Last Response Received

As the three left the rogues territory they couldn't help but try to think of where tinysplash could have gone, they were all worried about them

“where should we head next duskshadow?” ferret asked as they looked around them

“im..im not sure..we should look for tinysplash but kestrelwing shouldn't strain themselves with too much walking “ she answered as she stopped to think, kestrel wing was walking ahead of the others a bit but as they noticed that the others had stopped they turned to look at them

“why did you two stop?” they asked

“we are trying to think where we should go- you shouldnt be walking so much your illness might get worse” ferret answered before duskshadow

**at the same time with sparrow and tinysplash **

“hey..are you awake yet?..the snowing has stopped..and i have found some herbs to help heal your illness” sparrow spoke as he arrived back at the den where tinysplash was sleeping..they had fallen asleep after a while of waiting for the snow to stop

as sparrow didn't get an answer he started nudging tinysplash a little with his paw
“hey, wake up” he spoked as he nudged them

“huh?” tinysplash mumbled as they woke up “oh- i'm so sorry i fell asleep” they apologized as they raised their head from the ground

“dont worry its fine, here eat these, they should help you with your illness, after you have eaten them let's go looking for your friends “ sparrow said as he sat down in the abandoned fox den

tinysplash looked at the herbs for a second before they started eating the herbs..

“Do you have any spare herbs we could take with us? just in case my friends are injured or sick?” they asked sparrow after they had eaten

“yeah! ofcourse we can take a few spare herbs with us, that's a good idea actually!” sparrow replied as he got up and went into the furthest corner of the den to get a few herbs before the two would leave to look for tinysplash’s friends

after a while of deciding which herbs he would take he chose to take all of the few herbs he had “lets go look for your friends, if you're ready i mean” sparrow said as he walked back next to tinysplash

“yeah im ready” tinysplash answered, the two walked out of the fox den and left to look for the others

**back with duskshadow and kestrelwing **

the three travelers had dug a small den to rest in after they did not find any other place to stay in,ferret had left to look for herbs to help with kestrelwings illness

“how are you feeling kestrelwing?” duskshadow asked as she looked over at kestrelwing

“i'm alright.. i feel a little weak but other than that i feel alright” they answered as they yawned

duskshadow looked back at the entrance into the den “its getting dark already” she said as she noticed the sky turning darker, it was cloudy still so the sun couldn't be seen but still it was noticeably darker now than a little while before
“you should try to sleep, ill stay up for a while longer just to wait for ferret “


“alright..wake me up when ferret gets back or if tinysplash finds us “ kestrelwing said with a yawn before they closed their eyes


**with ferret**

as they were looking for herbs they noticed the sky was getting darker too.. they sighed “where are all of the herbs when i need tem” they mumbled annoyed that they couldn't find any herbs under the snow

soon they noticed two figures walking towards them in the corner of their eye, as they raised their head from the ground they realised it was tinysplash and another cat “Tinysplash! you’re okay!” tehy meowed relieved that their friend was fine as they walked towards the two cats

“ferret! “ tinysplash went and hugged ferret once they were close enough

“who is this? Where have you been? Why did you disappear?” ferret asked

“his name is sparrow, he helped me after I got lost from you and the others,he even gave me herbs to help with my illness” tinysplash said “Where are kestrelwing and duskshadow? are they both okay?”

“duskshadow is fine but..kestrel wing is sick, i'm here to look for herbs but i have had zero luck “ ferret said

“maybe i can help?” Sparrow asked as he placed the herbs he had taken with him to the snowy ground “are any of these what you're looking for?”

as ferret took a look at the herbs they noticed one herb that might help

“this one might help them” they said “thank you for keeping my friend save and helping them, do you perhaps want to meet our other friends? and do you want anything in return for this herb?” ferret asked sparrow

“Yeah, I would love to meet them! and no, I don't need anything in return!” sparrow said with a smile


as the three cats headed towards the small den where duskshadow and kestrelwing were



as duskshadow was about to fall asleep she heard pawsteps coming the dens way.. as she noticed it was ferret and tinysplash and another cat she started waking up kestrelwing

as kestrelwing woke up and saw tinyslapsh they sighed in relief..

after all of the cats had explained what had happened from their own perspectives and after kestrelwing was given the herb to help heal their sickness, it had already gotten dark and as sparrow was about to leave the four other cats asked for him to stay for atleast the night so he wouldnt have to travel alone back into his den that was far away..

as all of the cats fellasleep into the small but cozy and warm den, they were all happy..

The rogue sniffs cautiously at the trout given to her which was a bit odd considering she was the one who caught it. "Th-thank you" the rogue meowed so softly tempestslash almost missed it.
The rogue tucked her dirty paws beneath her lithe body and began taking large gulps of the trout all while keeping her yellow eyes on tempestslash and the rest of the patrol.
The scent of warm fish hit Tempestslash's tongue and for a moment she felt hungry but as she watched the rogue eagerly devouring the trout, hardly chewing, the feeling of hunger was replaced with pitty.
When the rogue had finished off the fish leaving only bones and fins she turned tail and fled without another word. Tempestslash determined it would be best to bury the bones just in case the sea lion decides to come back. As she scooped pawfuls of gritty sand over the carcass her claws caught on something hard. Tempestslash looked down to see a brightly colored stone. She wasn't sure what had made it so bright or why she wanted to keep it for herself but she did feel a strange pull to it. CMYO +2XP

After the bones were buried well enough the cats on patrol put their heads together to regather their senses. Tempestslash being the senior warrior on patrol decided it would be best to hunt a bit before continuing on.
It wasn't long before fogspark returned with a nice looking squirrel and hydrangeawave assisted embersnow in carrying a salmon that threatened to topple them over with every paw step. +1squirrel, +1salmon, +5FP, +10XP
Blueberrynose however didn't seem to have any luck and tempestslash had been too caught up in her own thoughts to adequately hunt. She felt a wave of pride hit her seeing her clanmates working together so well.
The sun was beginning to set on this day and showed signs of turning to nightfall. The patrol carried their kill back to camp. They were greeted warmly by Violetnight who was already standing on night watch and jellyfishember bounced right up to the salmon with glittering eyes. The young warrior must have been impressed.
As the clan settled down to share prey and groom one another cloverflame padded up to where tempestslash was sitting; her apprentice yolkpaw hot on her heels.
"I know your patrol just got back and you're probably very tired but i was hoping you'd be able to take yolkpaw to find some mint? They are best harvested at night and I'd like for him to get used to the territory more in darkness." Tempestslash agreed but inwardly was groaning about having to do this chore.
Even after scenting for mint time and time again yolkpaw was unable to track down the mint plant cloverflame had told him of and instead got the scent mixed up with elder leaves. Tempestslash watched as the young cat plucked happily at the leaves seemingly unaware it was not mint +2elder leaves, +4XP. She kept her mouth shut though, it wasn't up to her to train the apprentice, she'd leave that lesson to cloverflame.
The two cats returned to camp by moon high and most of the rest of the clan was already tucked away inside their dens sleeping peacefully. Tempestslash decided it was time for her to do the same.
Quietly she nosed her way to her nest and as she slide into the nest she felt sleep tugging her eyes shut. Before she could even wrap her tail over her nose she was swimming in the stars.

The sound of yowling awoke tempestslash from her dreams of soft fluffy clouds whisking between her toes like the ocean did as it pushed sand along the shore. Tempestslash was on her paws instantly and took no time exiting the den.
The sight that greeted her made her blood run cold and her paws felt rooted to the spot. The rogue she-cat the patrol had met was standing with blueberrynose's tail clamped firmly in her jaws; which may have had the most muscle on her entire scrawny body. Still that wasn't what scared her most. It was the crazed look in those yellow eyes, they burned with hatred, and her mouth was so full of white foam tempestslash wondered how she wasn't choking. It was hard to imagine that the timid and weak she-cat they had met earlier was replaced with this savage bag of bones.
The yowling which tempestslash determined had likely come from blueberrynose, had aroused more than just herself from sleep. Soon half the clan was in the clearing. Stormswirl took no time in attacking the rogue she cat. Swiping one claw after the other.
"Be careful! Do not let her bite you!" Came cloverflame's fearful call.
Luckily for the cats this rogue didn't have proper training and lashed out but never managed to get even a tuft of fur from them.
After an impressive amount of time the rogue could hold her ground no longer. She turned tail and fled through the camp wall leaving a large gap. A few warriors gave chase to make sure the rogue left shoreclan territory entirely. +10XP for battle
Cloverflame at an instant was beside blueberrynose examining his tail with high interest.
"Its sprained from what I can tell but I'd like to keep her in my den to keep an eye on her." She told shellstar. Shellstar nodded in agreement. Blueberrynose followed the medicine cat to her den letting her tail drag behind her she winced each time it went over even the smallest twig or bump. Required 2 herbs to heal -20%HP, requires 1 post of rest
A few cats went back to their nests and others were too rattled by the incident to fall back asleep right away.

Total:

+76XP | +10% Hunger ↳ Tempestslash 50%, Embersnow 50%, Blueberrynose 50%, Hydrangeawave 40%, Fogspark 40%| +5FP | +2elder leaves | Level 5 (91/650)

Notes: Hey! Just wanted to give a heads up in case you didn't know; once cats reach 60% HUP they start losing 10% HP each explore they are in. Tempestslash, embersnow, and blueberrynose are very close to that so I wanted you to be aware 💚

"My warriors, please lend me your voices!" Daisystar's gentle mew rang out through the camp, strong and commanding despite her soft voice. One by one, the warriors of SongClan began to hum, then the droning hum grew into a chorus, a dozen voices responding to their leader's call. Dappleflame straightened, looking her leader squarely in her starry-blue eyes. She knew Daisystar could not see her, but the leader's delicate smile was all for her.

"Rise, Dappleflame, deputy of SongClan, and lend your voice to our song tonight so our ancestors may know your wisdom and tenacity." Daisystar let out a clear, whistling note of her own to add to the vivacious melody her clanmates had begun. Kits danced along to the wordless tune, too young to have their voice, but still twisting and swirling around their mothers in a joyful spiral. Dappleflame threw her head back, pitching her voice into a caterwaul. The cats around her roared their approval. Somewhere in the crowd, Dappleflame could pick out Darkhare's husky drone and Flickerbush's staccato chirps mingling with Mothtremble's bubbly warble. Her heart felt fit to bursting at the sound. Nothing could ever be better than this.

Wolfquill hated being confined to camp. She was a warrior, she was meant to be out in the Star-grass, searching for rabbits and chasing off rogues. She loved her kits, of course but oh, stars, was motherhood a different beast entirely. She had nearly jumped with glee with Finchcloud offered that morning to watch Ploverkit and Cinnamonkit so she could get out.

"Are you sure?" Wolfquill asked. Finchcloud nodded warmly.

"Go on, every queen needs some personal time. Me and Swiftlion have got these youngins, don't we?" Swiftlion nodded sleepily from the corner of the nursery, their tail wrapped protectively over their own sleeping kits. Wolfquill didn't need to be told twice.

And so now she accompanied Cinderhaze, Sparrowhawk, and Hickorypaw through the Star-grass, tumbling through the snowbanks almost as if she were an apprentice herself. Hickorypaw zipped off every so often, simply running to run, and in those moments, Cinderhaze took the opportunity to question Sparrowhawk on his apprentice's progress.

"He's doing so well. Have you asked Daisystar if you could assess him yet?" He was saying. Wolfquill drifted closer to the two, her curiosity piqued. Cinderhaze had been her own mentor seasons ago, it was interesting now to hear him talk about another cat the way he may have once discussed her. He smiled as she treaded closer.

Sparrowhawk nodded. "She told me that it's all up to me. In truth, I just haven't found a task that I feel would be hard enough, and I haven't asked everybody else if they'd like to facilitate his assessment. I want to eliminate bias, y'know?"

Cinderhaze tipped his head to one side. "I understand, but if the boy is ready, the boy is -"

"I could do it!" Wolfquill blurted out before she could stop herself. Sparrowhawk and Cinderhaze stared at her - Cinderhaze's gaze was soft, kind. Sparrowhawk seemed a little annoyed at her outburst. She felt her skin grow hot under her fur. "I - I mean - I could help out i-i-if you want. I just -"

She was cut off by Cinderhaze's sudden guffaw. "Don't be stuttery now, girl. You offered, now stand your ground. I trained you better than to not stand by your word. What do you think, Sparrowhawk? Let the girl get out of her milking den for a bit?" Sparrowhawk's eyes darted between the two before a small smile crept onto his own face.

"I think it's a wonderful idea." He said. Wolfquill grinned.
