OLEANDER
Loner | Tom | Location: Outside Dawnclan territory | Mentioned: Brambleheart, the kits | Tags: Crowfur

Oleander was lost in thought, attempting to stalk prey close to the border. Perhaps he was closer to the border than he should have been, but he would take any risk to see Brambleheart. It wasn't likely he would see her at this time of day, but he could hope. As he was about to pounce, he heard the approaching cat before he scented her, startling the prey away. Cursing under his breath, he spun around, a soft chuckle escaping his throat as he watched her stumble. He sat back on his haunches and spoke clearly.

"You're Dawnclan, right? I can smell it on you," he stated. He knew it would be safe to talk. "Yes, I am... She's my mate. How is she doing? Are the kits excited for their apprenticeship?"

With a little yawn, Weaselkit woke up. As always the little kit had slept in and though all the noise and movement that had been happening At the nursery. Almost all of the other kits were already awake and out of the nursery. "I don't really feel like getting out today, I would rather sleep, or stay here in the nursery forever, do I really need to be come an apprentice?" though Weaselkit. The truth was that the kit was quite nervous about his apprenticeship "Will I be good enough?" he asked himself.

He streched himself before walking up to the entrance of the nursery and looking out. As he kept gacing At every clanmate warrior and not he sat down with a big sigh, he was in fact terrified of the idea of leaving his kithood. Weaselkit scanned the camp with the hope of finding his mom "Maybe I'm Lucky and she hasn't gone to patrol yet, or maybe she has already come back..." though the kit.

He found her with Spiderpaw on their way to the bramble tunnel and without a though he took off on their directon "Wait!" he screamed while running, for some reason he really wanted to see his mom that day.

Snuggled deep into the embrace of her mother's curled body and the presence of her littermates, the fluffy tortoisheshell kit was more than happy to remain where she was. Nose tucked into Brambleheart's belly fur while Softkit's body heat warmed her and made her decision to stay in the nest that much easier. Her flanks followed her steady breaths as she dozed, though her slumber was short lived when the voices around her finally cut through her consciousness and needled at her like a pesky mosquito. The kit slowly opened one eyelid, revealing a dark pupil ringed by a thick band of deep amber that blinked once before the other followed suit.

Grousekit lifted her head groggily, first noting her sister still slumbering beside her and then her attention drifted to the chatter that filled the den. Most of it came from Silverkit who was practically bursting with excitement at the idea of the litter becoming apprentices tomorrow. The fluffy tortie could admit to sharing in her sibling's fervor though she wasn't as vocal about it as Silverkit. Grousekit was still a little apprehensive about becoming an apprentice and leaving the comfort her mother provided, change was a little scary to her even though she knew it was an inevitable part of life.

Turning her head towards Brambleheart once more she extended a small paw to touch her mother's shoulder in an attempt to garner her attention. The young molly was very intuitive when it came to her peers, her kin especially, so when she felt the wave of sadness come off of Brambleheart as she spoke with Dappleleaf made her stomach sink. "Mother? Why are you sad?" came Grousekit's soft mew from her mother's flank.

The morning sun that littered in through a gap in one of the den walls warmed the furry cheek belonging to the hulking mountain of fur that laid haphazardly half in and half out of his nest. It was no surprise that Maplestrike's nest was never enough to keep his build contained at night - he was massive and there never seemed to be a nest he could make big enough that would last comfortably for him. So when he woke morning after morning, half of his body hanging out of the nest while only a portion remained atop the cushion of moss and gorse leaves, it was something he merely brushed aside now. There were more pressing matters than the issue of his ill-fitting nest.

Maplestrike pulled himself off the ground, shaking his body to loosen the debris and bits of his nest that clung to the wild tendrils and started for the mouth of the den. He could hear the faint murmur of voices out in the camp preparing for the day's patrols mixed with the conversations of tomorrow's ceremonies for the young kits who would move up to make their mark as apprentices. It was also an exciting time not just for the kits but for the clan warriors as well. It meant some would be chosen to mentor these young members and he always saw that as an honor of the highest degree. The tomcat had mentored a few apprentices during his time as a warrior so far and it was an accomplishment unlike any other.

Lost in his thoughts as he ducked through the den entrance, he didn't duck low enough to avoid one of the large leaves that guarded the entrance hitting him in the face. Huffing out a breath Maplestrike shoved it aside with a head of his head and stepped out into the camp. The sun was high in the sky and its beams hit him at full force, soaking into the rich, coppery fur that covered his body. The warrior paused for a moment to gather his thoughts before setting his sights on the fresh-kill pile for breakfast.

There was something about morning that she loved and she could never quite place her paw on it. It had never been something easily explained for Snakeberry and she'd given up trying to find the meaning a long time ago. Some things were simply meant to be felt, not explained. That morning was just like any other; the tabby had left the camp in the first moments of dawn to trek out to her favorite tree bordering the bank of Littlefalls where she routinely watched the sunrise. She was comforted in the sound of the surging water, the birdsong and the beautiful shades of color the rising sun painted the land with and it was a brief length of time that she got all to herself. Which she admittedly did need every now and then.

When the sun reached a certain position in the sky just above the horizon, that was when Snakeberry would take her leave, scale down the tall trunk of the tree and make her way back to camp to be present for the patrols should she be needed on one. The molly broke into a run and her long legs flew over the ground, covering the distance with admirable speed and nimbleness so as to make sure she didn't twist an ankle in one of the many burrows.

Reaching the camp didn't take very long and she slowed as she ambled through the camp entrance. Her moss-green eyes caught sight of her sister, Mistyleaf, preparing to leave with what she assumed was her patrol and the light brown tabby made a mental note to find her sister later to see how she and Weaselkit have been faring. Her blood still pumping from her sprint back to camp, Snakeberry found a supple patch of grass and settled down. Extending her legs in front of her so she could run her tongue along the fur there.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
As Dappleleaf wandered back over into the Medicine cat den, she was greeted by both Morningfeather and Moonkit. She loved the tom like he was her own little brother. At this point in their relationship, that is exactly how they treat eachother too. She was glad to have him by her side through these things. Her previous mentors relationship was not like this at all. It was all professional and mostly motherly. While that was okay at times, it was kind of smothering at other times.

She smiled at Moonkits comment about the moss. "Well...Eventually. Yes it will need to be replaced. However we will need to gather up more first. But that can wait for a day or two." Before she could continue, their leader walked in. "Why don't you two work on sorting through some of the older herbs, and checking to see if they are still good. I believe the Chamomile, Dandelion Leaves, and Juniper Berries need it the most for now." She commented before turning her full attention back to their leader. "Good Morning Almondstar! Yes of course, why don't we step outside." With a flick of her tail over Morningfeathers shoulder, she walked toward the entrance of their den. There was generally enough folliage to block their voices if they talked quietly.

The fluffy tom smiled at the calico she-cat, "Thank you Snowcloud. I really appreciate it!" That was one extra thing off his plate. Hawkeclaw nodded before wandering back off towards the entrance to meet back with Spiderpaw and Mistyleaf. He noted a few more faces popping up at the camp again such as Maplestrike finally emerging from the warriors den, and Snakeberry entering camp. He wondered where she had went so early, but shrugged and continued forwards towards the two cats waiting for him.

"Okay!" He boomed as he reached the two. "Lets get going!" The tom trotted pass the two mollys, commenting towards Spiderpaw, "So Spiderpaw, who are you hoping to be your new mentor?" Almondstar hadn't spoken to him explictly yet about the apprentices and mentors yet. So he truly had no idea about what was to come tomorrow. It had been a few moons since he was last a mentor, but he was more than willing to take an apprentice or two. If that is what was needed for the clan.

Crowfur felt a sense of surprise when the Tom so boldly called Brambleheart his mate. While she held no real judgement, there was a little something lingering in the back of her head at the statement. 'How could she be his mate when they hardly see eachother?' While she attempted to not make a face at this thought, her maw did twist a tad but returned to the usual gentle smile rather quickly. "Oh yes! They are going crazy to get out of the nursery! I know our medicine cats are going to be relieved to no longer have all the loud bodies connected to their den" She chuckled, sitting down and wrapping her white tipped tail neatly around her paws. "You could return with me? We could find Almondstar and see if maybe she will allow you to stay for a few nights to see the kits during their ceremony?...or maybe if you wanted to stay?" She tilted her head in curiousity. If put in this position she would want to her mate there, and perhaps she was overstepping. But Almondstar was a good leader and very forgiving.

Silver ears twitch and swivel at the familiar, heart-wrenching cry of her grown kit, Weaselkit trodding towards Mistyleaf. She turns in his direction to receive him, nuzzling him and putting a paw over his shoulders to draw him in close to her chest. He's almost her size now, at 6 moons old his already robust body meets her small frame and soon she suspects he'll dwarf her, much like the other cats of DawnClan.

A feeling of unease settles deep in her stomach as she picks free a gnat in Weaselkit's coat with her teeth, licking to sooth any pain, Mistyleaf wonders if she's coddled him too much. While he's practically her size and barely still fits in the Nursery with the rest of the kits, her only son's kit-like disposition has shifted little and she worries about what training will be like for him. Her ears visibly droop at the thought that having her train him would only have him further spoiled and unable to tolerate the stress of the life of a Warrior, though her maw still holds a warm smile and her verdant green eyes identical to his own glimmer with love for him.

Mistyleaf dips her head in greeting as her sister Snakeberry enters camp and walks right by her, the kit, and the apprentice, heading quickly into camp with a comfortable jaunt, it's nice to see her in good spirits. Hawkeclaw is quick to rejoin them, quicker than she'd necessarily hoped but she knows Spiderpaw must also be eager to get out there. The silver striped and white spotted molly looks over her shoulder as her Deputy and the mentor-less apprentice pad out of the Clan entrance, she spends an extra moment lingering with her kit- she knows she can catch up still.

"I'll have to be going, love. Try to move around a bit more today." Mistyleaf hums, nuzzling him again and releasing her hold over his shoulders. "Hawkeclaw, Spiderpaw, and I are going for a patrol to hunt. I promise I'll bring back your favorite prey- whatever you'd like! What should I catch for you?"

MOONKIT

━━━━━

Moonkit nods and goes to work immediately, hopping over Morningfeather's tail to get to the shelves of herbs where she began her morning, having stacked the sticks Dappleleaf gave her and Silverkit in this exact place. Carefully, the dark marbled kitten nosed about the herbs until she caught a scent she recognized from helping Morningfeather put away herbs earlier in the moon, Juniper Berries. Some of them were beginning to become discolored and smell foul, as soon as Moonkit paws one she can tell why- it's soft and a gooey yellow liquid seeps from it on contact.

Carefully, with her nose wrinkled at the smell, Moonkit begins to separate the intact healthy blue-black berries from ones that have begun to grow mold, have dark spots, or gone pale. She'll know when she's done that she's gotten all of the bad berries if the smell dissipates, but for now she's forced to simply bear with it during the sorting. At least the odor is muddled by the other, much more pleasant herbs in the storage.

"Um...!" Moonkit starts, big cerulean eyes looking up at Morningfeather, trying to gather his attention with her soft and warm mewl, "What do I do with them... when I'm done?" She turns her muzzle to look back to the small pile she's begun to gather of expired berries, pooled together at her paws in front of the root shelves.

OLEANDER

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Oleander's chest filled with pride at the mention of his kits. He knew they were going to make great warriors - or whatever they end up doing. While he was happy, his mood was dampened slightly by the quick expression this cat had on her face at the mention of his mate. The Clans did not approve of one taking a mate outside the Clan, yes, but he felt he had done no wrong. It couldn't be that hard for the Clan to accept, right?

Go and visit the Clan... would that be a good idea? Oleander kneaded the ground anxiously. It would be great to see Brambleheart again - and the kits - but he wasn't so sure. "I don't know if that is such a good idea," he muttered. "It will only cause trouble for Brambleheart. They all have it bad enough that the kits are half Clan - they don't need to see me. I feel it would just raise tensions for everyone." He sighed, lowering his head. "I sure would love to see this ceremony, though... Maybe I could watch from a distance."

She nodded to Morningfeather, giving the young medicine cat tom greetings "yeah pretty much yes" she responded to him simply. Her eyes looked at Moonkit for a moment again, she has noticed the kit hanging a lot around the medicine cat's den recently, and was her time to discuss things with the Dappleleaf. She could talk with Morningfeather as well, but as Dappleleaf was an older medicine cat discussing with her goes first the medicine cat herself can speak with Morningfeather later if not spoken already.

She nodded to the older medicine cat "Yes we could, thank you" she meowed stapping a few steps backward as she was kind of halfway at the entrance so she could need to give some space to the Dappleleaf to move out of the den. She flicked her tail as she walked a little bit away from the medicine cats entrance and sat down, her eyes looking at Dappleleaf "Don't worry I don't need any assistance or anything, just a settle things with you, that's all" she meowed "As you know those Brableheart's kits and Weaselkit does have a very special day tomorrow...so I wanted to ask you my dear friend that is there any kit there which does catch your eyes as a possible medicine cats apprentice?" she asked her flicking her tail tip patiently.

She didn't mention anything that she had already thought of possible mentors for all of them, but if Dappleleaf did name a kit she could start to teach together with Morningfeather then she could have the kit to train with.

The young long haired black and white she-cat followed after the patrol as they were living in the camp. She turned to look at Weaselkit when the young soon-to-be apprentice run after them to speak with his mother Mistyleaf. She gave the kit a gentle smile as they spoke there before she turned to the deputy.

Flicking her ears she listened and thought a lot about the question the Hawkeclaw asked her, feeling a little embarrassed to actually answer "well..Actually, I was hoping to have you as my new mentor..." she responded too embarrassed to actually look at the toms way "my, mentor...uh Brownfur was like your biggest fan, I mean she always told so proudly about you and stuff like that...maybe she did have a crush on you..." she meowed lowering her voice into a whisper when she mentioned about the crushing part.

She then shook her head and smiled "the choice is completely Almondstar's so, I will take anyone who she chooses to be my new mentor" she said little more excitement "I want to become a warrior at the age of twelve so I need to train hard so I don't really have time to argue who could be my new mentor or not right?" she meowed flicking her tail tip as she looked over to the deputy once again.



Rushkit | male | kit | (soon to be apprentice) | tags: Silverkit

He watched the camp cleaning his eyes followed after Weaselkit who run after the living patrol where his mother Mistyleaf was too. He never really thought about what the young tom felt when she was the only kit of his litter at the nursery or being raised by another queen who didn't even was his true mother, but his true mother was still working as a warrior. He started to wonder if the Weaselkit was being felt anxious or frustrated about it, he didn't really seem to show those things so maybe he was fine with that and his mother did visit the nursery often when she was not out of her duties.

He perked his ears back for a moment as he did hear something, but didn't have time to get what it was when the only thing he was seeing was the ground "uh..." he murmured hearing his sister's voice and recognizing her scent, which had some mixed herbs there as well "get out of me..." he hissed lightly. He personally didn't like when others pounced onto him, even if he maybe did that a lot himself, but toms are toms, or so his mother could call him.

He peeked over his shoulder to see the silver mackerel tabby on top of him, listening to what she was whispering to his ears "...No Silverkit, another way I could go right into that, but for now I need to say no..." he meowed seriously. He showed his fangs a little bit when she mentioned him being scared "no I am not scared, you mouse-brain..." he snarled "I just don't want to mess up tomorrow's ceremony, I do want to have my apprentice name tomorrow even if you don't maybe want" he said stubbornly.

BRAMBLEHEART / QUEEN / OPEN (KITS, DAPPLELEAF, MENTIONED OLEANDER)

In spite of Dappleleaf's words, Brambleheart couldn't help but feel more anxious than before. Her attempts to hide her worries however were held well, and only her eyes betrayed her true feelings. "I know, I truly know. At the end of the day they will always be my kits no matter how grown, I'm simply a foolish queen at the end of the day." She said with a small, forced smile. "I can't help but worry about them, about what is to come. But I must allow them to carve their own paths at the end of the day. I just pray to Starclan that they don't end up making the same mistakes I have, I want them to live the best lives possible." She said, looking away to her tussling kittens. "I can only hope that I can do them justice as a mother." She thought about Oleander once more, of his cinnamon pelt and his kind words. She wished she could have a second chance to tell him how much he meant to her, to apologize for having stolen his time with their kits in thanks to her fickle loyalty to Dawnclan. "I miss him. He was the only one that truly understood me, the only one who knew what it felt like to be torn between two ways of life. He understood my love for Starclan, my devotion to the warrior code, he understood how I could still have love for the clan while still feeling so much for him at the same time. I wish more than anything for him to be here, Dappleleaf, I truly do. But he is not, and that is that. We can't change that now, so why waste our time on wishing and hoping for what we can't have. I'm not certain if he would change, only certain that he is capable of it. But if he were to come now and live with us, I'm sure he would only be a shadow of his former self. He loves us, but we cannot have him in our world for he would not understand it. At least not now."

"I can only hope so," Brambleheart nodded, "They already are special, but I hope that alone can make up for what a handful they're becoming. I pity their mentors if they don't smarten up." The queen purred with a small laugh. "Thank you, truly Dappleleaf. I have always considered you a friend and you have always been kind to my kits and myself. I will always be grateful to you for everything you've done for us, and I'll always be grateful for you." Nudging the medicine cat with a playful but meaningful muzzle, she nodded her goodbyes. "Until the next time, then."

Silentfoot | She-cat | Warrior | Tags: None

Silentfoot padded back into camp, happy with her catch. She dropped it all with the other fresh kill and made her way to the warriors den. She hadn’t slept in what felt like forever, an intense feeling of anxiety was brewing deep down inside of her and she wasn’t sure why. It kept her from sleeping, and even eating. Her little trip out to hunt had temporarily soothed her and she now realized just how sleep deprived she was. As she prepared to get some sleep she realized that the anxiety was quickly being replaced with a deep sadness, she had no one to talk to. “I know it’s all my fault… I could put myself out there, talk to someone… Maybe that’s what I’ll do,” In that moment she decided. Even if it took her a while, she would make some friends. She settled down and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Mouse | She-cat | Kittypet | Tags: None

A gust of wind rustled Mouse’s short fur as she crept through the trees. Everything seemed so ominous and lonely, but also so welcoming. She felt as if she found where she truly belonged. A strange sound somewhere to her left made her jump and she backed into a tree, alarmed. “Maybe this was a bad idea…” Without waiting long enough to see what it was, she turned and raced back home, realizing she probably wasn’t meant to live in the wild. As she neared her yard the trees began to thin. Without hesitation, she drug herself through the hole in her fence and came to a stop, trying to catch her breath. She heard her owner call her for dinner and hissed. “There’s no way I’m going back in the house with that dog…” She spat, turning to sit and stare at the fence defiantly. Her owner stepped across the yard and scooped her up, carrying her to the door. She hissed and screeched, but her owner wouldn’t let her go. One last cry escaped her mouth, and the door shut.

Morningfeather
━━━( medicine cat / tom / location: medicine den / tags: moonkit, dappleleaf, almondstar )
the bimetallic tom turned his head back to dappleleaf as he heard the familiar voice speak, making a mental note to gather a few cats for a moss patrol for tomorrow or the day after. his green eyes trailed towards moonkit, ears perking at the sound of sorting herbs, the younger half of him groaned inwardly though the medicine cat knew his duties. especially with the coming of a new apprentice to the den, it'll be exciting having a fresh set of eyes and paws to train. he thought as his attention turned to the storage along the walls, his eyes scanning the shelves and locating the chamomile, dandelion leaves, and juniper berries which were along the same wall. his gaze met dappleleaf's as she touched his shoulder with her tail, a smile shown on his maw and he nodded in acknowledgment of the molly, dipping his head a bit lower to almondstar as the two made there way towards a more private area. the tom watched them disappear out of the den knowing well that the tortieshell was just as excited at the notion they were to gain an apprentice especially one with such eagerness and diligence as moonkit.

the tom pulled himself away from his thoughts, paws making their way towards the wall of the stump, he turned his head to look at moonkit who had already began to sort through the juniper berries. "if you get hungry perhaps we could share a piece of prey once we finish." he meowed earnestly, whiskers twitching at the thought of a meal, feeling the usual pang of morning hunger though he pushed it aside for his duties most days. the plume furred tom-cat sat in front of the wall, eyes gazing at each of the piles of herbs, he sat up on his back legs pawing at the pile of chamomile. he scooped it up gently in his mouth, scraping the rest into his paws and spread them out beside him. he bent his head down sniffing each of the flowered bulbs, assessing them harshly, pawing the dried ones away from the freshest ones. once he had gotten his pile together he heard a soft mew from beside him, his sage green eyes meeting moonkit's rounded kitten gaze, he couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "we can dispose of them just outside of camp, follow me." opening his maw he gathered the spent chamomile between his teeth and padded out of the den.

a pang hit his heart as the tom had the sudden realization that he wasn't just a medicine cat apprentice anymore. dappleleaf had trained him and trained him well for many moons, though he knew that he had many more to go. this felt like a routine day though to moonkit it seemed like something grand and new. training the next in line was so much more then he thought it was, as he had these thoughts, the fur along his neck and between his shoulders prickled.

the molly's peace was disturbed by the sound of paws and the familiar cheerful mew of a fellow warrior, rainstep opened her eyes and perked her head up. she grinned at snowcloud who spoke excitedly, "i'm doing very well snowcloud, thank you for asking." she meowed politely, eyes hyper focused on the molly's green ones as she continued. "oh? that sounds lovely, i'd love to join!" the oriental molly purred and got to her paws, going from a laying position to a standing position in front of the smaller molly. their height difference was staggering, it jarred rainstep a small bit to be looking down at her fellow warrior, though she stretched out her long legs before touching her nose to snowcloud's shoulder to show her gratitude. she thought to stretch her legs for the morning and go on a bit of a hunt, though she wasn't sure if she felt like going alone quite yet. "if you're not doing anything in a bit would you want to go on a hunt to warm up before sunhigh?" she meowed to the small white and chocolate patched molly, her tail waving up high behind her, the molly's bicolored eyes glimmered with enthusiasm.
