mossclan lived in harmony with their neighbouring clan, helping one another with any threats that were
made known throughout their territories. the two clans thrived; they were strong, robust. that is, until t
wolegs invaded the forest. they stormed in by foot and riding in or on huge monsters, tearing down every
thing in their path. mossclan's neighbour, acornclan, almost entirely perished, falling victim to the dread
ed twolegs who thought they owned everything they set their eyes on.

mossclan also suffered heavy losses; including the great tree, containing their leader's [lavenderstar] den.
the tree that had been protecting their camp for generations. after the fall and after many great warriors'
deaths, mossclan fled further into the forest to find refuge, taking those of acornclan who remained with
them.

it took a few moons for the struggling clan to rebuild any of what they had and put down roots; they had
n't even appointed a new leader until recent days. now, mossclan must continue to build up their new ca
mp and scope out their new territory. while they may be low in numbers, their spirits have not been deci
mated just yet. having lost their leader, deputy and medicine cat all in one day, the clan is sombre. but t
hey cannot give up. they won't. they will learn to adapt, as their ancestors did before them.

[ꜱᴀʟᴇᴍ.]

♠ mossclan's new appointed leader is bitter, seemingly numb. despite this, they have
their clan's greatest interests in mind and heart. they love their clan, and they will s
top at nothing to help them thrive once again.
♠ the clan's new medicine cat is that of acornclan's.
♠ as of this moment, there doesn't seem to be any other clan around. this means that
mossclan has free reign over the areas they have scouted so far.
♠ there are wolves in the area, but they are far away enough to not be as much of a p
roblem. there may be some encounters.
♠ if you have any ideas, please let me know!

for generations, mossclan lived in the south west corner of the forest, with a giant tree in the center of their camp. the tree
was moss clad and had mushrooms, berries and many other flora growing both on the roots and branches, and on the surroun
ding forest floor. now, they live further into the trees, approaching the north east corner. the forest itself is think, dense, hel
ping the cats who reside there to pretty much walk freely through the trees without worrying about being spotted. in the nor
th east corner, there is a cave system known to house a small wolf pack. obviously, the clan avoid going near there wherever
possible.

the prey is plentiful, unlike where they used to be. sure there were a lot of squirrels scattered around their old camp thanks
to the great tree. now, they have an array of species to prey on; mice, rabbits, squirrels, sometimes chipmunks, lots of small
birds. but with this much prey come other predators. aside from the wolves, there are foxes (who are usually uninterested in
the warriors, but as the canines are known to attack kits, the clan is cautious and keep their distance), badgers, beavers and
snakes in the surrounding areas. so far there haven't been any issues with said predators, but still the clan remains vigilant.

aside from the other species' that prowl around the forest, the clan have come across a few loners. again, they weren't much
trouble at all. they either joined, or respectfully withdrew from the camp's territory. there is a known greenleaf twoleg place
[campsite] quite a ways off from the camp- worrying of course, but so far there hasn't been any threat from the place, or the
twolegs who sometimes reside there.

inside the camp, the dens are as follows: the new leader's den is a little cave in the north of the camp, hidden by vines. the
elders' den is nearby; yet another cave, but slightly larger to accommodate the best of comforts for the retired warriors. the
warriors' den is near the entrance to the camp- a cluster of hollowed out logs - and the apprentices' den is not too far off; a l
arge, thick shrub. the queens and kits den is a large underground cave. as for the deputy, they live in a cave in the west of th
e camp. this cave is conjoined with the medicine cat and their apprentice's cave; a larger settlement with a steady stream of
water running through. the medicine cat's cave is big enough to house them, their apprentice and a few sick and/or injured c
ats.

a large river flows not too far from the camp, with a waterfall a little ways up-river. behind the waterfall is a large pool of w
ater. both the pool and the river are home to several fish species, but the pool can be dangerous to get to. only the more ex
perienced and capable warriors are permitted to go there to hunt, and it's only when absolutely necessary.

[ꜱᴀʟᴇᴍ.]

♠ due to the recent hardships, mossclan's belief in starclan has deteriorated. the pool behind the waterfall
would have been the clan's moonpool, but the current leader has put these kinds of duties on a list of low p
riority.

asterstar stirred in her sleep. it was another night without dreams - not a single sign from starclan. rising to her feet with an exhausted sigh, she blinked a couple times, eyes adjusting to the dim rays of light that shone through the vines of her new den. slowly, her gaze filtered over her surroundings. although it had been a few moons, she still wasn't used to the cold, dark stone. coloured leaves peeked through the moss of her nest, reminding her both of the time that had passed and of another chore for her to do. the sharp stems of the fallen foliage provided nothing but discomfort, but picking them out didn't feel worth the trouble. as she poked her nose out the entrance, she could tell leaf-fall was well on its way from the chilly breeze wafting into the cave. with the thinning leaves on the forest trees, the sun somehow felt brighter than during greenleaf, although the temperature wasn't comparable at the least. she shivered slightly, before padding out into the clan's main campground.

she then made her way over to the west side of camp, where the deputy's den was located. given that leafbare was next, the main goal of the next few weeks would be to gather and store food to get them through the barren season. she'd have foxfoot send out two hunting patrols, larger than usual both for safety and effectiveness.

but, after that, what would she do? what would a good leader do? what would lavenderstar have done? the thought of her brother twisted her heartstrings. she gritted her teeth, burying the emotion. aside from being her brother, lavenderstar had been the clan's leader, someone's friend, someone's mentor, and more. she wasn't the only one grieving, and while they were all grieving, someone needed to be strong. she needed to be strong. with a swish of her tail, she was back to business. she'd take some of the senior warriors with her on a patrol along the south and west borders.

The fluffy orange tabby queen slept as well as her growing belly would allow her to. She was dreaming of her old clan and the fun times they had.

Nightkit/Male/five moons old/kit/Crush-mate: Too young/Shadowy forest/Mentions: Firelight/Tags: None

A black kit was sleeping next to Firelight, this was Nightkit. He was found by Firelight as she journeyed to find a new clan, and he had come to consider her like a mother and had become protective over the pregnant tabby. He was almost an apprentice and was dreaming about hunting.

Sandstripe/Non-binary/They them/12 moons old/warrior/Crush-mate: Open/Blueberries and flowers/Mentions: None/Tags: Open

A simple little brown cat was sleeping in the warriors den, they had flower petals in their fur making them smell nice. They were dreaming of romance.

Cloud/Male/22 moons/Loner/Crush-mate: Open/Wilderness/Mentions: His friends and Mossclan/Tags None

A light golden yellow cat was already up and hunting. He was stalking a rabbit that was as big as himself and and managed to pounce on it and finish it off. He sat down to rest and thought about his pervious companions, how were they doing? Had Firelight had her kits? Was Nightkit an apprentice? He might have to find a way to spy on Mossclan later to see how they were doing.

indentation"Mum! Mum, can I wake the others?" a soft but squeaky voice asked, ears trembling with excitement. Lark-kit had never been the most patient cat around, kit or not, but he was at least polite. Well, most of the time. Of course, the young tom-cat wasn't above troublesome ways or misunderstanding, but no one was and he generally did as his mother did. Which, wasn't always the best choice. Hearing his mother's sharp but sleepy words, the large-eared tabby frowned and let out a whine of protest, but quickly quieted down at his mother's copper glare. But as always, that didn't last long.
indentation"Can I go see if Leafpaw and the other apprentices are awake at least?" He asked, still as a mouse. The smile on his maw widened into a grin as she gave her okay. Mindful of their sleeping den-mates, Larkkit lept into the air letting out a joyful squeak, landing a little oddly but unharmed, before darting out of the nursery.

indentationShe would like to be the first to tell you that she has been sleeping well. However, that wouldn't be wholly true. At the very least, she was sleeping better than she used to not long after the twolegs destroyed her new home. It had been a struggle to get her to a semi-normal sleeping schedule, as she was heavily pregnant and unwilling to take poppy seeds in case it affected her unborn kits. Not to mention all the death that had befallen the formerly two clans turned one. So her son's squeaky but soft mew waking her wasn't her favorite thing in the morning, at least not this early in the morning. She would have preferred to get a few more hours of sleep. Blinking the sleep away, the calico sighed softly, as she blearily turned her gaze to her son. Let our companions sleep, Larkkit. Some cats need their beauty sleep." She said quietly, but with a tired though sharp tone.
indentationShe raised a whiskered brow as the young tom-kit let out a whine, and shot him a half-hearted glare, silently daring him to disobey her. At Larkkit's second question, she paused. As much as she loved her son, raising him alone - if you didn't count the clans help - and another mouth to feed - though she adored little Egretkit too much to complain. She needed some alone time, or at least as alone as one could get while caring for two troublesome kits. Sighing once more she nodded, "Fine, but don't bother them if they aren't already awake. And don't bother the warriors if they aren't!" Pearldawn said in a serious tone, giving the kit a fond but exasperated look as he jumped for joy and raced out. He probably only heard half of that. She thought with a sigh, shaking her head as laughter bubbled up her throat.

indentationNight hunting had always been a favorite of theirs, outside of leaf-bare they didn't blend in well with their surroundings, with their mostly white coat. The faint Bengal markings that covered most of their body, which got darker as they spread down limbs didn't help much. So Night hunting was their best skill, as far as Fogbite was concerned. It was something that they did nearly every night these last few moons so that the elders and queens would have a near-warm fresh kill to bite into. a few runs back and forth between hunting ensured that a few apprentices or warriors also got a warm meal as well if they were quick enough to grab it.
indentationThey sighed as they padded into camp, with the second and last load. Two mice swinging from Fogbites jaws, by their tails. They hadn't caught as much as usual, the prey pile wasn't terribly empty, so they'd regulated themselves to snatching up a paw-full of prey. Having only completed only one other load of three, there would probably only be enough genuinely fresh prey for the queens and maybe one to share between the kits. They froze as they saw Asterstar padding around camp, the first cat that he'd seen awake, and froze for a few heartbeats. Having not told a soul what they were doing, - though a few probably knew - Fogbite wasn't sure if they wanted the lecture that Asterstar was sure to give them for risking their life like this. Wincing internally, the color-point darted over to the fresh-kill pile, dropped off the last of their catches, and bolted over to the warrior's den.

indentationSleeping in his nest was always comfortable, it was soft, warm, and most importantly safe. His twolegs made everything nearly perfect for him. He had plenty of toys to play with, cool fresh water, and a small door that he could easily exit and enter the twoleg den from. Though the food left a lot to be desired. The odd dry pellets they usually fed him, were, well dry and mostly tasteless. The wet food, that they gave him when he was sick wasn't terrible, but often left him gassy afterward. But stealing a bit of their fresh meat - he didn't know where it came from, or what animal it came from, but it was good! That fresh meat was some of the best stuff he'd ever eaten, and why he was still here and not acting out his dreams of adventuring far beyond the fence and never returning.
indentation But that allure was fading, the last time he'd managed to steal a bite, they'd raised their voices at him! They'd kicked him outside and locked his little door. Ray had slept outside that night, in the cold. It had even rained that night, and he'd been forced to take shelter under one of his twolegs finely trimmed bushes. Ray had still gotten wet that night, so he was cold and furious the next morning. When they had finally let him back in, he'd refused to interact with them. He didn't play with the feather on a string and stick toy, or even let out a mew in their direction. He'd just laid in his nest and ignored them. Like he was doing now. Because he was sick, they had given him his wet food the night before, and the gas was making his tummy all rumbly and achy. Ray let out a wordless meow, of complaint, looking for a little pitty from his twolegs.
