Number of Cats: 15(4 Servings)Toms: 8 Mollies: 7Next Moonstone Visit: June 2, 2017🍁Archive🍁────────────────────────────────────────Palepaw had done his best, he struggled with staying in the creepy tree for a whole week but he managed to do it. Though he surprised himself when he caught the ermine, he has never seen one before and has never caught one; strange when the prey fights back. He had managed to find his way back to camp on his own for being so new to the territory, he even walked around like he was already a warrior here. When Bramblepaw watched him walk into camp with the prey he winked at her before going to the leader's den. Once inside he plopped the ermine down on the floor of the den "I caught one." he boasted to the leader.
"So you did. Are you ready to become a warrior of Briarclan?" Cloudstar meowed to Palepaw. The apprentice nodded and didn't have time to say anything before the leader got up. "While I do the ceremony you are to eat the ermine." he explained. It wasn't complicated and the leader was sure that the tom was hungry after not eating for so long. The white tom lead the way out of the den and jumped up on the high rock "Let all cats who can catch their own prey gather below." he yowled loud enough for every cat to hear. Once he saw that most of the cats in the clan had gathered he went ahead and started "I, Cloudstar, leader of Briarclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn." The leader paused slightly and looked at Palepaw who was eating his caught prey "Palepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Palepaw swallowed a large bite he had taken before answering "You know it." This caused the leader to roll his eyes slightly.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Palepaw, from this moment you will be known as Foxclaw. StarClan honors your bravery and cleverness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Briarclan." As Cloudstar said the new name Palepaw had gained the young tom felt pride. Yes he was given Palepaw in Tumbleclan but a new beginning had happened and he thought a new name would be best. He honestly though that Cloudstar would have forgotten is request and was pleased to see he did not, he looked at the leader with new eyes and admired the bossy tom as the cats below chanted his new name.
"We also have a paw full of new apprentices who have agreed to learn our ways, Bramblepaw, Willowpaw and Mud please step forward." Cloudstar continued, now looking at the young cats that made their way forward. "Owldust, please step forward. Owldust, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be confident and gentle. You will be the mentor of Willowpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Willowpaw."
Owldust and Willowpaw touched noses, both clearly happy. "Once your paw is all better I will show you the territory and I will show you some of the best spot to catch prey!" Owldust began to chatter but was cut off by Cloudstar.
"We are not done yet Owldust, if you can please hold your excitement." He muttered quietly to the molly. "Mud, you have accepted to learn the ways of becoming a warrior. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Mudpaw. Your mentor will be Bouldershade. I hope Bouldershade will pass down all he knows on to you. Bouldershade please step forward. Bouldershade, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be patient and caring. You will be the mentor of Mudpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Mudpaw." The two toms touched noses without saying anything, Mudpaw looked at Bramblepaw and wondered who would mentor her and hoped it was not the rude white tom. He was pulled from his thoughts as Cloudstar continued "Bramblepaw you have shown that you are responsible and clever in the past few days I have know you, so I have decided that I will be your mentor. I promise that I will make you into a fine warrior one day." Cloudstar touched his nose to the apprentice quickly before looking around. Only Blizzardsong seemed to be in a foul mood and wanted to say something about the acceptance of the new cats. The others however, chanted the cats names happily before disappearing into the dens for the night.

"But Cloudstar!" Blizzardsong was about to continue arguing before being cut off by Cloudstar.
"That is enough Blizardsong. I understand your concerns but Starclan has obviously sent these cats here. They are apprentices and will learn Briarclan's ways. I had enough with your angry outbursts and fighting with then new young and inexperienced cats. Now I will not make you like them but I will make you get along. They so far seem to be fitting in with the others and no other cats had has any problems with them, so why don't you get over yourself?" Cloudstar meowed blandly, he was getting tired of the tom's attitude. It has been a whole moon since Foxclaw, Bramblepaw, Willowpaw and Mudpaw joined the clans rank, along with the new warrior that was sent from Starclan. Blizzardsong had become overly protective of the nursery and would attack those that even looked in its way; the most recent was when Willowpaw walked by it and heard the squeals of kits and smiled before Blizzardsong attacked her. Luckily the apprentice was not harmed because there were others to help her. "If you keep this up Blizzardsong I will personally make it so you will be far to busy to have any down time." he growled.
Blizzardsong nodded with a glare "Fine." he growled before stalking out of the leaders den, his tail flicking irritably as he trotted out of camp to calm down some.

Fawnwillow groomed her only kit as she was being groomed by Bouldershade. The two were happy with their single kit who was strong and healthy and seemed to be a tad larger in size. "Lets name her Stripekit." Bouldershade had stopped his grooming as he suggested the name.
Fawnwillow had stopped grooming the kit then "I think a strong kit needs a stronger name, how about Tigerkit?" The molly did not want to hurt Bouldershade's feelings by telling him that was not a good name.
"That sounds better." The tom purred, it was an odd noise coming from him but there was no audience and he did not mind. The sound did not last long as Dawnflower came back into the den and passed her own nest to come see the new little molly.
"She seems so strong and healthy, I am happy for the both of you. Does she have a name yet?" The queen looked at Fawnwillow.
It was Bouldershade who answered "Yes, her name is Tigerkit." The tom got up then and went to leave the nursery "I need to make patrols, I will see you later Fawnwillow." he meowed before leaving.
"I am sure our kits will get along and become great friends." Dawnflower meowed to Fawnwillow. The queen's kits had just opened their eyes and wobbled around the nursery already trying to explore.

Coppereyes watched as the cats in the clan went about their morning. It was frustrating to know that there was so many new cats already in the clan and that Cloudstar accepted them so easily. Yes he was probably the newest cat in the clan but Starclan had sent him here for a reason. The ginger tom had a suspicious feeling from one of the most guarded and aggressive cats in the camp, and the was Blizzardsong. He did not seem friendly to any one and was ready to attack every cat. He couldn't help but wonder what was that toms problem, for now he would just keep an eye on that tom.
"Ah Coppereyes, since you are up already would you mind leading a hunting patrol with Owldust and Blizzardsong?" Bouldershade had interrupted his thoughts.
"Wouldn't it be better if you asked one of them to lead it? Both of them have been in the territory longer and know the way around here better. Also doesn't Owldust have an apprentice to train?" Coppereyes meowed quiet rudely.
"Fine. Blizzardsong will lead the patrol but you are to go with them." The deputy meowed back with no emotion, this caused the ginger tom to narrow his eyes as the deputy walked away. He knew it would be hard to read his tom's emotions if he was always guarded. Coppereyes didn't seem to care to much though as he was already on his paws and padding towards Blizzardsong to tell him what they would be doing.

Bouldershade had just talked with the new warrior that Cloudstar brought to camp after a Moonstone visit, he can't say he is particularly fond of the tom as he is always rude and always watching. The deputy shrugged it off, he wont let it get under his fur for long. He poked his head into the apprentice den "Mudpaw, Bramblepaw, lets do some training before the border patrol later." he meowed loud enough to wake them up. The tom didn't have to wait long as the trio of warriors came out of the den. "Willowpaw, you should go see Archpool today and make sure its okay to start training with Owldust. Once she gets back from hunting and Archpool has given you the okay, you can see if Owldust will take you out training." Bouldershade instructed to the young molly.
"Alright, I will see you later Bramblepaw, you have to tell me all about it later!" Willowpaw called to her sister before going to the medicine cat's den. When she entered the cold den she meowed "Archpool!" Quite loudly before continuing "Bouldershade wants me to get my paw checked out again. It has been a whole moon since you put what ever herbs on my cut. I am sure I am fine now.." Willowpaw seemed to go on and on in her usual chatty voice.
Archpool grumbled to himself before appearing behind the small nook in his cave "Willowpaw, didn't I check it yesterday and the day before that? The answer is still going to be the same, you are all healed up. Now please leave my den and go pester your mentor." Archpool meowed as nicely as he could. He must have been to nice because the apprentice made herself comfortable and started to chat with the tom, he resisted the urge to go back to his nest and place his paws over his ears. Just then he remember a list of herbs he needed "Sorry to interrupt you Willowpaw but I remembered that I am out of some herbs and I need to go and look for some." and with that the tom was out of the den and was soon out of camp. "Finally! Some quiet." he muttered.

"I should really be going now Foxclaw, I have to train Willowpaw now." Owldust meowed to the tom.
"Well if you want some of my help with battling I won't mind. After all a pretty pelt like yours doesn't need to get dirty." Foxclaw flirted with the molly.
"I will keep that in mind Foxclaw, but me and my pretty pelt can manage with some dirt." Owldust smiled at him before leaving the den, only to run into Blizzardsong. Her smile soon fadded "Oh- uh- s-sorry Blizzarsong!" she tripped over the words as she shrunk back, waiting for the thump on her head and a rude hiss to follow.
"I am sure you will watch where you are going next time!" Blizzardsong spat at her. "We are going hunting, so hurry up and get ready. I want to be done with this by sun high." The white tom grumbled before turning away. He didn't give Owldust much time to say anything before leaving her standing there.
"What a grumpy tom, I bet he was born a black cat but aged so much so fast that he is now pure white." Foxclaw had made his way out of the den and next to Owldust as he joked about Blizzardsong.
"Foxclaw!" Owldust exclaimed before giggling "You shouldn't say stuff like that! Though I bet you are right." she snickered before padding after Blizzardsong "Tell Willowpaw that when I get back we will go train." she called back to Foxclaw before leaving the camp with Blizzardsong and Coppereyes.
