However, when she felt no breath or heartbeat stir in her first kit's chest, she trembled even more, wailing loudly, a high-pitched keen of sorrow. Mistyspot turned around, hearing the wailing, tempted to return to her leader. She finally turned around and rushed back to her leader's side, helping her bring life to her kits. Hollystar looked at the other three kits, whimpering softly, but she couldn't let herself fall to sorrow. "He would have been Hollowkit," she whispered, putting her nose on the others in turn. "This one will be Black-kit," she whispered, licking the small tom's head. She moved to the other kit, smiling slightly. "Her name is Swallowkit," she added, beginning to purr faintly. Finally, she laid her head onto the head of the final kit, drawing in her daughter's scent. "Her name will be Tumblekit," she finally finished naming her and Bearfang's children. She looked up at Mistyspot, frowning. "I don't know if I can move just yet, Mistyspot. I know I can protect my children, but I'm not ready to leave them to hunt. Could you help me out?" Mistyspot nodded, hurrying off to go hunt.
Bearfang finally reached the Moonpool, drinking in the taste of the cold water, and instantly laying down to sleep.
Mistyspot has gone hunting. Hollystar is left alone with her day-old kits. Bearfang has arrived at the Moonpool to ask StarClan for a Medicine Cat.
"Are you Bearfang?" A cat with a flattened face asked as soon as Bearfang stepped out of the Moonpool. The Brumbleclan deputy took a startled step back, the fur along his spine bristling in alarm. "Oh, don't give me that look. Starclan told me I was needed in Brumbleclan and they said to hurry and get here before a tom named Bearfang left."
Starclan has sent you a medicine cat

"And what is this?!" The brown tabby squealed excitedly, running up to an oak tree and sniffing at it. Freckleheart paused for a moment to look over at the kittypet, his whiskers twitching in amusement.
"It's a tree." Freckleheart laughed. The kittypet nodded, it's eyes still wide in awe before hurrying after Freckleheart as he ducked into camp.

awoke. "You'll be hunting, we need some food before we starve." He joked lightly, but knew that it would
be a huge danger to not have food around. "I'll be going on a border patrol to scout out some more young
blood to bring into the clan." Sootfur nodded to his new leader, smiling. "Of course, right away!" He said,
the two dashing off to their own duties.

Rockstar stared back curiously at the long-haired white cat that was watching him closely. The pretty cat stayed still, blinking slowly before speaking. "I see another Clan has moved in." Rockstar tilted his head slightly, confused on what the stranger meant.
"There are other Clans around here. They are extremely full so I haven't joined any of them."
"Would you like to join Howlingclan?" Rockstar asked.
"I would love to."

zephyrine wrote:Frostpaw poked her head into the nursery. Immediately, Daisykit, who idolized the apprentice, noticed her appearance and bounced over to her. "Frostpaw!" Then her siblings came bounding over as well to greet the older she-cat. "Frostpaw, can you teach us some battle techniques?" Foxkit begged. Frostpaw considered whether or not to show them some simple moves, but a look of uneasiness from Honeydapple told her she should decline. "Sorry, I think you're a bit too young for that.... Don't worry, you'll be apprentices soon enough," she smiled. Sulking, Foxkit wandered off with a few grumbles of disappointment, but Birchkit was relieved that he wouldn't be teased by his brother for his unusually poor playfighting skills. "Frostpaw? You in here?" Ashenclaw called, stepping into the nursery. "Ah, hello there, everyone. Frostpaw, I believe we should be catching up on some of your training. Let's go."
Emberstar and Webfang left the camp soon after Ashenclaw and his apprentice. After a few fox-lengths of walking, the leader spoke, "Why don't we have a friendly competition?" she smiled. "I've been thinking about mentors for Honeydapple's kits since they're growing up so quickly. The first to catch something gets to mentor a kit of their choice. How does that sound?" Webfang chuckled, "Oh, it's on." "Alright, once you've caught something, head back here."

KittyCutePaws wrote:Pearlstar awoke in her nest, yawning and shifting around. Pausing, she quickly got up. Today was the day, the day that she would finally look for more clan members. It had been too long since she was around any other cats, too long since she had the need to speak out loud to other cats. She shook some loose moss from her leg, groomed some of her chest fur, then padded out of her den.
Truly was a beautiful island that the camp was on, lots of nice rocks to lay in the sun, also some palm trees for shade. The only thing she could really complain about was the sand under her paws that could feel like lava when the sun was warm enough. She needed cats who could handle all of this, the hot sand, leaping from island to island. A sudden idea passed her mind. Oh StarClan! If you can hear me, please help me find either a cat for deputy or the rank of a scavenger. I need someone to run my clan and help me make decisions, or at least some cat that can journey on the small islands smoothly and nimble.
Ending her little prayer, she headed off to the smaller islands that led her to the main land, the best place to find cats. As soon as she hopped off of the island and to the first small rock, she remembered all of the other times she had done this. Honestly, no doubt about it that she would be a island protector if it weren't for her leader rank. She could barely find the right footing on these rocks, and even though she could swim, it would for sure set her back if she fell.
As she finally fell in to some sort of pattern, hopping and scrambling from one stone to the next, she eventually got to the main lands. Here, is where she began her journey to find new clan members.
[pearlstar is patrolling for new cats. preferably either a deputy or scavenger. ]
"Hey!"
Pearlstar blinked in confusion, quickly turning to see where the voice was coming from. A pale silver cat was hopping from rock to rock, heading over from one of the other tiny islands. "Hey." The cat repeated, stopping next to Pearlstar once it reached her. "I saw you on that island the other day." It mewed, gesturing towards the island that was Sandclan's camp.
While on patrol, Pearlstar found a deputy ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Espeon. wrote:My clan is called MistClan. Their territory is in an evergreen forest. The forest is very densely packed with trees, making the forest very dark. A creek slices through the edges of the territory, providing a permanent source of drinking water. MistClan cats have long thick fur to keep out the cold from the lack of sunlight in the forest. Their fur is usually shades of black or gray. They hunt mice and other small rodents, lizards, and the occasional fish from the creek.
MistClan cats are very down-to-earth and laid-back. They are very lazy and sleep a lot. They hate fighting and would just rather be peace. MistClan cats are friendly, although they daydream a lot and don't pay attention to most things.

seedcakes wrote:Goldenpelt lapped at her two kits, curled up in the nursery with the sounds of Tumblenight and Mistshade's soft snores the only noise. Smokeykit snuggled into his mother's thick golden fur to gather warmth, but Asphodelkit stayed put. Something felt.. off. Goldenpelt nudged her daughter. "Asphodelkit? Come closer to me," she murmured, although her voice began to rise. "Asphodelkit?" The small shekit coughed once, which was echoed by her brother. Panic seized Goldenpelt's chest. "Dawnglow, Rabbitwish!" She shrieked, causing the two to race into the nursery. Dawnglow picked up Asphodelkit, while Rabbitwish checked Smokeykit. "Smokeykit's ok, just a mild cough. He should take some honey and a bit of tansy." Rabbitwish mewed hurriedly, glancing nervously at his mentor. Dawnglow's expression was grim as she observed Asphodelkit's glassy gaze. "She has kittencough, bad, Goldenpelt. I.. I'll do my best, but..." She looked away; it was apparent what she was about to say. "We must prepare for Witherclan's first loss." Goldenpelt took in a shaky breath, letting out a loud heartwrenching wail. It was all.. so fast. She had birthed the two kits, and was half dragged, half carried back to camp, and curled into the nursery. Now, not a week later, her only daughter was close to death. Goldenpelt screeched again, tearing at her nest with curled claws.
...
That was half a moon ago. Smokeykit had gotten worse, but soon recovered and began to speak. He was a curious little thing, but his voice was still rough from his recent illness. Goldenpelt tried to keep him out of the den, playing with Eaglekit and Keykit and away from his sister. Asphodelkit was moved to the medicine den with Goldenpelt so that Dawnglow could keep an eye on her at all times. But the herbs weren't working, and Asphodelkit's labored breathing stabbed Goldenpelt each time she heard her daughter take in air. Tiny coughs wracked the kit's body, and she couldn't keep her milk down. The queen had refused to speak to anyone except Dawnglow and Hawthorne, already going into greiving for the daughter that was still alive. Smokeykit had been all but forgotten; Goldenpelt spent all her time with her daughter. But it wasn't working.

Ravenpaw limped into camp, the pigeon clamped in his jaws. He threw it to the ground, and howled at the Highstump. "Fadedstar! Come out! I've completed your stupid assessment, now make me a warrior like you did the others!" Pale ears poked out of the den beneath the Highstump, followed by tired blue eyes. Fadedstar looks genuinely upset. "Ravenpaw, you know I can't," he croaked. "You haven't completed your training. I'm sorry." Ravenpaw's eyes narrowed, a growl escaping his jaws.
Fadedstar turned to go back into his den and finish his nap. With a screech of anger, Ravenpaw charged at the leader, claws unsheathed. However, he could not run with his leg mangled, and stumbled, and fell. Now his screeches were of pain, and Smoothpaw rushed out of her den with panic in her gaze. "Ravenpaw! Stop this! You'll hurt yourself more!" The black tom fixed his stare on his aunt, blazing blue. "Never! Not until I get what I deserve!" Smoothpaw felt her heart sink as she watched her nephew writhe on the ground. She closed her eyes, heading into the medicine den and collecting up a pawful of poppyseeds. Padding back over to Ravenpaw, Smoothpaw placed a paw over his nose, forcing him to open his jaws. Somehow, she maneuvered around his flailing paws, dropping the seeds into his mouth. Ravenpaw swallowed, and his eyes began to droop. "I'm sorry, Ravenpaw. It's for your own good." Minkslide padded over and helped Smoothpaw bring the unconscious apprentice back into the medicine den. And the look of sorrow never left Smoothpaw's gaze.

Asphodelkit is very ill with Kittencough.
As soon as Rabbitwish stepped into the clearing, Sunnyflower pounced on her mate, covering his face in licks, purring loudly. The two hadn't been able to meet since Sunnyflower gave birth to Witheredpaw and Pigeonpaw. "I missed you so much." Sunnyflower purred to Rabbitwish, curling her tail with his.
"Squirrelstar started a tradition that the apprentices have to climb the mountain and return in a moon when they finish their training to become warriors. Witheredpaw and Pigeonpaw are almost done with their training." Sunnyflower mewed worriedly, pressing against her mate. "What if something happens to them and I'm not there to protect them..."
Rabbitwish has the choice of continuing to be mates with Sunnyflower, have kits, or end the relationship
