ashfluff stared at fennel for a brief second. her heart went out to them and sorin both. snowclan had always been known for helping others in need, and she knew that searching for a lost friend was a cause worth pursuing.

"i'll gladly help you look," ashfluff said, her tone warm with empathy. "we'll need to gather some information first. can you tell me more about them, where they were last seen, and any signs or scents that might help us?"

fennel nodded, relief washing over their face.

As Gullcry and Sandstar took off after the rogue, an alarmed Mothflutter and Scallopfang were quick to trail behind them. The two followed at a distance, attempting to support against the rogue. The sickening smell of the ebony female grew nearer, causing the fur of all cats involved to stand on end. The party stopped briefly in a small clearing.

“Mothflutter? Scallopfang?” Sandstar questioned in a hushed tone, surprised and relieved by their appearance. The leader had caught them trailing behind. “We wanted to make sure you were safe.” Began Mothflutter.

Mothflutter was Sandstar’s first and only apprentice. Given her warrior name by Sandstar’s parents, Mothflutter was incredibly dear to Sandstar’s heart. After a heart to heart on the three month anniversary of Sandstar’s parents death, Mothflutter was the sole reason Sandstar agreed to take the leader position, and even traveled to the Moonpool with her to get her nine lives.

“Yes exactly.” piped in Scallopfang with a sheepish smile.

Scallopfang is Gullcry’s best friend. It’s no secret that she is absolutely enamored by him and has the biggest crush Tideclan has ever seen. Gullcry is oblivious to the crush because of how long they have been friends, but has also found himself flustered around her from time to time. Scallopfang is terrified of telling him how she feels, due to how he is bisexual and only speaks about toms he finds attractive. She has no idea if he’s into mollies, let alone his best friend.

“Alright then.” Sandstar nodded to the pair and turned back toward the scent of the rogue. Mothflutter followed right at the heels of Sandstar, while Gullcry and Scallopfang walked side by side following them loosely. They had been chatting under their breath.

A sudden halt in the sandy pelted molly, signified with a stiff tail raised in alarm, caused the group to freeze in silence. She had spotted the ebony female. Sandstar dropped to the floor, creeping silently into the brush toward the rogue. The rest of the group followed.

The most peculiar sight fell upon their eyes. Gullcry was the first to break the silence: “The flower… it’s glowing!” He had been whispering harshly, all eyes fixed on the rogue and the peculiar flower. Almost entranced by the scene, nobody dared to move. The rogue began to tug the red and yellow flower from the ground, Gullcry seemed to be the only one who was enchanted by the spell of confusion. “Sh- She’s stealing it!” He darted out from the brush, facing the molly head on. Before he realized, she had struck him on his forehead. The gash sent a warm trickle of blood down his nose.

Gullcry’s actions finally breaking them from the trance, the group rushed out from the underbrush. The violet freckled rogue had… apologized? Confusion was on the lips of everyone as she disappeared with the strange flower.

“What in Starclan!” exclaimed Sandstar, observing the spot where the flower had been plucked. Scallopfang had rushed to Gullcry’s side and began to assess the gash on his forehead.

“What do you think she needed that for?” said Mothflutter, faced contorted with confusion. “Nothing good, I suppose.” Sandstar said absentmindedly, nose pressed inches from the earth where the flower once stood. She turned her head towards Gullcry.

“We should head back home and get him all patched up.” Sandstar stated, with no objectance from the group.

Padding out of the jungle once again, the group headed back down the beach discussing what they had just seen.

________

Sandstar awoke in her dim den, familiar scents of moss and palm filling her senses. Still on her side, she blinked the sleep from her pale eyes. The run-in with the rogue yesterday had encouraged her to send out border patrols this morning. She had also had a terrible knot of anxiety in her stomach. She wanted to name her deputy today.

Getting to her petite paws, Sandstar stretched out her long limbs and a quick yawned parted her muzzle. She padded out of the maze of dens and out into the clearing of the cave. Surprisingly, most of the clan had already been up. She considered herself an early riser but this was a bit humbling.

Scanning the clearing for her ex-apprentice, she locked eyes with the dilute spotted molly. “Mothflutter.” She called, locking eyes with the molly. “I need to speak with you in my den.” Mothflutter, who looked a bit confused at the formalities from her dearest friend, obliged.

“I wanted to propose something to you, of great importance.” Sandstar began, her tone flat. “Sure Sandstar?.. What’s this all about?” Mothflutter eyed the molly suspiciously. “I wanted to ask you to be my deputy.” Spat Sandstar, a great warmth in her eyes. “What? Are you serious? You really think i’m fit to lead?” Mothflutter stuttered, mouth moving faster than her brain could comprehend.” “Of course I do, Mothflutter. You’re the reason I even considered being a leader. I am forever indebted to you.” Mothflutter looked like she was thinking hard. “Alright. I’ll do it.” She said after a long pause. Sandstar and Mothflutter embraced one another and then padded out towards high-rock.

Bounding up the steep cliff, Sandstar called “May all cats old enough to swim in the ocean gather beneath the high-rock for a clan meeting.” Dozens of cats filled beneath the high-rock at Sandstar’s word, buzzing with excitement and confusion. This had been her first time doing a naming ceremony as their new leader, let alone her first time calling a clan meeting.

Sandstar began, her voice confident and booming: “I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of Tideclan is Mothflutter.”

Mothflutter beamed as Sandstar pressed her nose against the molly’s forehead. Below, the sea of cats chanted her name. Reveling in the glory, Sandstar felt proud of her clan and her newly appointed deputy.

Leaping off of highrock, Sandstar couldn’t help but smile at Mothflutter. Mainly because the morning patrols were now her duty to take care of. “You should assign your first patrols this morning, Mothflutter.” Sandstar purred, licking Mothflutter’s cheek affectionately.

Mothflutter assigned the morning patrols and Sandstar tagged along one consisting of Gullcry, Scallopfang, and Mothflutter. The patrol headed toward the edge of the beach to mark the borders.

Cauliflower really stepped up to the plate, guiding the others to safety amidst the chaos, her voice ringing in the ears of everyone as a saving grace. How she could stay so calm and collected in a situation such as this was a mystery to just about everyone.
When the flames erupted she immediately began escorting the elders towards the back of the den, towards an exit that lie in the back, something Tansy had made in case they needed to use a different exit. Despite her aloof nature sometimes, you could always count on Tansy to think ahead.

“Come! While the warriors are fighting we escape through here, Follow behind each other as close as you can and head towards the clearing!” She stayed behind making sure everyone got out before she did and then headed out into the fray. She was no fighter but the others might need her help with their wounds. She wouldn’t flee, she couldn’t..This was their home.

However when Cauliflower exited out to the front of the den, she witnessed the outsiders fleeing as the warriors all caught their breaths, looking around in bewilderment. Had they really just fled after setting their camp ablaze?
Cauli immediately ran to Mallows side, checking her for wounds.
“We need to leave, Mallow! Everyone!” She turned to face the rest and that was when she noticed the spooked look on Flo’s face.

Mallow spoke up, noticing the same thing. “What’s wrong?”

“Dog. I smell a dog.” Flo answered, her eyes trained on the clearing before her eyes went back to Mallow. “We are stuck between a dog and a fire!”

Cauliflower was the first to act, how could she have not smelt the dog? She ran ahead quickly towards the clearing where she sent the group of elders and non fighters. “Stop! Theres a dog up ahead!” She would call out and sensing the urgency the Warriors who had just fought trailed behind her, intent on engaging with the beast.
They would rather take their chances with a dog than with wild untamed flames that began consuming their camp and their very homes.

The green kit lie on the ground where she was thrown, her wounds reopening as the flames around her grew larger and closer, engulfing the trees and bushes rapidly.
Her eyes squinted, trying to see through the smoke as it infiltrated her lungs, causing her to cough out hoarsely before she tried calling for help.
She stood up wobbly at first before quickly deciding on her next course of action. She would have gone towards the others who were headed to the clearing if her senses didn’t alert her to the smell of a dog. She decided she would instead flee in the direction the outsiders had and try her best to not get caught by any of them. Then she would look for the two who were with the one she now knew as Mallow. She was unsure if they would protect her, but if she mentioned Cauliflower tending to her wounds maybe, just maybe, they would show mercy.

Tansy and Verum hadn’t found traces of any outsider in the past couple of hours,and were growing tired of walking along the border of trees separating their territory.

“I think we should head back, Tansy. If Mallow were going to catch back up with us she would be here by now. Besides, we found out a lot of information, we need to take back everything we learned to Fig. And they seem to be staying mostly on their side of the border….Mostly” she would recall the tussle they had the other day, that ended with them just fleeing after awhile.

Tansy nodded her head, eyes looking up towards the sky one more time in a vain attempt to maybe catch a glimpse of a scout or something.
“I suppose you are right, we got a few things to bring back and I’m not sure how comfortable I am with being this close to the border without Mallow.”

It was then that Tansies eyes locked on something above the trees, in the direction of the camp, it was faint and small at first and she almost didn’t notice it but there it was. Smoke.

“Verum…Theres smoke!!! In the sky, there! Look!” Tansy was in a panic, why was there smoke? And in the direction of camp? What did they miss?

They both looked at eachother and began running back to camp, their legs not moving fast enough for the urgency they both felt.
Time was of the essence and not knowing if they would return to a burnt down home or not, Verum expended more of her energy to transform, grabbing tansy as she did and sprinted ahead, much faster than before. They had to get home.

their voice was fathomed upon balconies made of stars spun into sugar and freckled with little busy bees. but a curtain of ebony veiled each delicately sugared crevice, painting an endless sea of desolation in her wake. “well-- i am not sure actually.” a tiny grin quirked upon their features before faltering into something of sheer neutrality. “one moment… he was there and the next-- hey! sorin! come back--”

the honeyed flutter of those swooping wings adorned the empty reality beyond-- before descending into a canopy of weeping willows and delicately poised oaks.
(+1 willow bark, +1 dried oak leaves, +2exp)

long limbs in a seemingly endless tangle, the starry stranger stumbled into the embrace of the dark, wide eyes searching before landing upon a bouquet of yarrow and a swarm of scarlet silk. liquid silk.
(+1 yarrow, +1exp)

“ted! sorin!” the sweet drawl of the fennel’s voice was faltered, choked at the sight of a rotund frame and the cloying perfume of rust.
(the patrol has found fennel’s friend! however it seems like he’s hurt and needs one herb (any)! does the patrol offer them the herb or decline?)

ashfluff rushed forward, her eyes filled with worry. ted's fur was matted with dirt and their breathing labored. fennel and sorin hovered nearby, their anxiety matching ashfluff's.

she extended her head to her pouch, retrieving a bundle of borage leaves she had brought along for such an occasion. borage leaves were known for their ability to reduce inflammation and ease pain.

"here," ashfluff said gently, offering the leaves to ted. "these borage leaves will help with the pain and swelling. they'll make you feel better."

Atlas was a little shaken by the appearence of another stranger, but one look at Furzetuft and that anxiousness soon left again.

"Geez, somebody's on edge," Aurora turned from the black cat and towards the newcomer. "Now, what brings you here? Isn't there enough ground to cover on your own side of the forest?" Why am I so on edge? She's been nothing but friendly... The rough response seemed to put everyone in a terrible mood

Furzetuft glanced at Aurora, ignoring her. “So, it seems the prey in this forest has changed. Seasons can alter the landscape and changes affect the wildlife here as well; but i’m surprised by how sudden it was. You’ve learned to fish, right? Good, good.”

Atlas and Aurora met eyes. Yes, it seemed the world has been altered somehow. The energy coursing through the air was different somehow. “Fishing isn’t all to difficult, it’s the strange sea monster i’m worried about. The rivers are safe but it makes it difficult to go near the ocean waves.” It was true. Legend has it, a big, scary serpent-like monster roamed the nearby sea. The Isle of Banishment was protected by it; though some might say the monster kept them in.

The Isle of Banishment… nobody knew how many cats still lived over there. It was a separate society, broken off from the rest of the world. The greatest punishment a cat could receive was being sent there. Only the worst crimes, murder, for example, got you put in a place like that. An eternal darkness.

“you stole my stick!”

a tiny kit unfurled from a patch of firelight lilies, a splash of freckles across her nose and frown as deep as the ocean’s starless trenches. shadows wandered close as the little one wandered, her tiny paws pitter-pattered along the damp earth, circling her once, then twice.

quicksilver grimaced, an awkward chuckle caught in her throat. “uhh, hi? we should get you back to your parents. do you know where-”

although light haloed the soft curls whispering against her forehead, this little one was no angel. “give. it. back!”

a hiss slithered between her teeth as heat seared through her tail, a weight like an anchor’s holding it down. she kept her claws sheathed, her paw gently batting at the tiny attacker, trying to dislodge her. “hey, hey- hold on a second. i don’t-” know how to deal with kits. “i don’t have your stick!” (-10% health for quicksilver </3 no herbs or rest needed to continue patrolling!)

“stick?”

time seemed to slow. in a rush of whispering wind, a presence wove into existence in a nebula of light. silver curls hung suspended, falling infinitesimally slow, silken and smooth down the stranger’s neck, but it wasn’t what held her captive ─ frozen as if under a spell.

knotted along the length of his back, a bundle of sticks rested. some long and pointed, others short and blunt. and yet others still bloomed with new leaves and florals, while another stick grinned, a cruel twist in its ashen frame. the stranger's head shifted, pivoting until he was right before her, starless eyes piercing. a void wrought of the deepest blue, forever unseeing, yet… uncannily focused on her. “stick?”

she swallowed. “i-i don’t have one. who are you?”

the stranger merely huffed, shaking his head. as he turned aside, the winds blew once again, serene and gentle, before kicking up in a fierce squall. the force pulled at her, tugging at every piece of her, greedily searching, hunting. until the winds faltered, settling into a cool breeze and the stranger was no more. only a flock of birds remained adorned in feather of azures and ceruleans. (feather of jay has left without a stick!; +2fp finch, +2fp finch, +2fp finch, +2fp finch, +2fp finch, +2fp finch, +2fp finch)

“i guess you don’t have my stick after all. that… other cat took it.” sheepish and cheeks flushed, the kit kicked a pebble. “i’m really sorry for biting your tail. my mom’s over there and uh- she said to give you this. i hope you feel better soon.” (+1 lungwort, group of rogues have left!)

✦ CLAN CLAN !!

x⊰ thani ✦ archive ✦ last post ⊱

and the very essence of autumn turned cruel.

tawny ochres, scarlets and golds became something out of a brimstone realm, the soft laughter of crinkling leaves morphing into a crackling hiss. sparks and embers leapt, a tattoo kiss from all sides, seeking its targets. and for some winged critters, fire was not their rebirth, but their demise. a last dwindling dirge was their last song for there was no rising from these ashes. (+4fp bird, +4fp bird, +1fp bugs, +1fp bugs)

a crackling snap cracked from above.

and she was moving. moving before the sound even plummeted. a quick sidestep faltered into a stumble and with a hiss, mallow hit the brittle grass, rolling. heat seared through her side, drawing a thin scarlet line. (-5% health for mallow ─ no herbs or rest needed for her to continue patrolling!)

“mallow!” flo’s ashen face met hers, framed with the glimmer of mauve eyes softened with relief. “are you alright? that branch─”

mournful and piercing, a howl breached above the orchestra of hisses and pops. shrouded in smoke, the canine's claws shredded the grass, a hefty paw stamping in the dirt once. before the dust even settled, the canine charged at the fleeing souls. it razed a path, dancing around the flames, ears pinned back only when they flared. (predator attacked!)

and perhaps just this once the fire would be their white horse.

“flo! the branch that just fell,” a soft curse slid through her teeth as she scrambled to her paws, “where is it?”

“over here. it’s still burning.” her breath hitched. “wait, you’re not thinking…”

her jaws set into a grim line. “guide the others out of here.”

a watercolor mural of ambers and golds blurred her vision and steadying herself, she bent down, grasping one end of the burning branch. embers crackled and warmth tickled the hairs on her nose, frizzing her whiskers, but she held the branch firmly. one end was safe, the other end was aflame.

brandishing it like a sword, she charged for the frenzied canine.

through the haze of grey and gold, narrowed eyes snared with hers, breaking from a weary-eyed elder. silver tendrils of saliva snaked between the pillars of rotting teeth and a snarl broke from its throat, but she didn’t falter. her paws drummed into the baked earth, the grass crisp and the cracks in the dirt jarring.

she didn’t turn. didn’t stray from her path. couldn’t stray from her path.

the flare of her torch loomed, large and luminous in the canine’s eyes, and the first chinks in its armor appeared. ears pinned back, stance faltering, tail drooping- why wasn’t it leaving? leave. leave already. “c’mon you-”

she hurled the torch towards it.

a crash crowed, then a yelp. flames bloomed, a shimmering wall turning opaque and unmoving, but through the closing holes of the firelight wall, a shadowed form dwindled. tail tucked and shadow twisting and turning into the bloodied horizon, until it became nothing more than a haunted memory. (predator has left/been defeated!)

⊰ notes; hi!! your lore has me going 👀👀 v excited to see where you go with your storyline!
one little note, but you would (unfortunately) have to list your prey/herb inventory + your patrollers in your explore post (as per this announcement)! it just helps us keep track of inventory changes from post to post ^^ i can’t find this anywhere on the explore thread,
so it’s not your fault at all dw - making a note to myself to have that added rn <3

you’re absolutely welcome to still link/use the sheet as long as the above changes are made c: definitely lmk if have any questions
or if you'd like a hand with coding at all <3 !
