Amberstar smiled proudly at his clan. Recently, he had discovered new cats to join Badgerclan. 3 of them were very close siblings, very hard to separate. One of them was a kittypet who had been abandoned in the forest. And finally, Skypaw, a cat from another clan that had been separated. Hollypaw seemed to befriend Juniperpaw, though she kept her distance from Skypaw. "Nice morning, isn't it?" Embersong purred, sitting besides Amberstar. "Good morning, Embersong. And yes indeed it is" Amberstar meowed. The two cats sat on top of the high rocks for a minute before Embersong finally struck up conversation. "So do you think these cats were sent by Starclan for the war?" the tortoiseshell asked, the early morning's beams of light shimmering on the white and ginger patches on her fur. Amberstar sighed at the mention of the war, "I hope so, we are yet to get caught up in the war though" Amberstar responded, his claws starting to sheath into the rocks below him. Embersong chuckled, "I refuse to become like Skypaw, Badgerclan is my home and I won't let it be destroyed" she meowed firmly. Amberstar nodded, "Whatever is coming our way, we must look to Starclan" he mewed. Anger began boiling up in him even at the thought of Badgerclan loosing the war. Embersong sensed this and wrapped her tail around the tom, "I'm sure Starclan will not let us loose this war" she nodded, before walking off the rocks to talk with her apprentice. Amberstar grinned a bit before sighing, I hope so
One moon later..
Featherflower laid in the nursery, Skypaw, Hollypaw, and Juniperpaw all gathered around the kits. Hollypaw pressed her muzzle to Jaykit, suddenly everything went black for a moment. A flash of a black cat resting beside a river, a sky over flames, and a small holly behind a wolf all flashed in her vision at once. Once she snapped back into reality, Jaykit had crawled onto her muzzle. Hollypaw let out a loud mew of shock and leapt backwards, Jaykit rolling off her muzzle and letting out a troubled meow. Featherflower let out a gasp, pulling the kit towards her. "Are you okay, Jaykit?" she meowed in the kit's ear. Jaykit gave a chuckle, "I'm fine, mom! I fell onto the moss!" he chuckled. Nightkit tackled down Jaykit, "Good, that means we can play without you being wrapped in herbs!" she grinned, pulling on the kit's ear. Jaykit laughed and shoved his sister off, chasing her around the Nursery. Skypaw and Juniperpaw let out little chuckles, watching the kits run and tackle each other. Hollypaw stood up from the corner of the Nursery, "I think Wolfmoon needs me.. I'll be b-back" she meowed, leaving the den. As soon as she stepped into the Medicine cat den she heard Wolfmoon let out a gasp, he had just awoken from his sleep. Hollypaw was shocked and jumped a mouse-length back. Wolfmoon' head jolted up to Hollypaw, "You had a vision too?" the tom asked, Hollypaw nodded. "A sky that looked over another clan, a holly trembling behind a wolf, and a cat from one who lost one close will be there too" he mumbled.

“You’ve delivered a single kit, a girl. She is very healthy.” MudWhisker smiled as he slipped out of the Nursery, relieved that the kitting went well.
HareFur immediately bounded in, looking at his mate and New daughter with wet eyes. “FirePelt, she’s beautiful.”
“What should we call her, love?”
HareFur was silent for a long time. “...HeatherKit?”
FirePelt took a deep breath. “In honor of your sister. Does she look like her?”
HareFur chuckled, although his voice was still tinged with sadness. “No. Heather was a Black with white chest and tail tip.”
FirePelt nodded, touching her nose to her mate and then to her kit. “HeatherKit. She’ll be well-fed here.”

"I told you to be careful!" Stormfang huffed as he watched Emberwhisker as she hovered over the edge of the icy river. "I'll be fine." She mumbled as she stared into the water. Stormfang frowned a little and shook his head. "It's quite icy, the edges of the river have ice around them and ice landings. It is all too easy to slip or for the ice to break." Emberwhisker smirked as her paw slapped against the water and a fish came flying out. The fish were quite slow due to the cold, she was surprised she even got that one. "See no harm no-" Before she could speak much more the ice underneath her made a loud crack. The tortoiseshell warrior let out a startled yowl before she went under. Stormfang hissed at Ivypaw, who had a look of terror on his face, "Don't just stand there! Get help!" The terrified apprentice snapped out of his stupefied daze at the words. The brown-and-white tom bolted, spraying snow all around him as his paws flew over the snow-covered terrain. The last thing he heard was a loud splash as he assumed Stormfang had gone after Emberwhisker.
By the time Ivypaw got back to the scene, with Brightstream and Whiterose, who had been nearby with two other cats he hadn't glimpsed due to his urgency, Stormfang and Emberwhisker were out of the water. The brown-and-white apprentice raced to his mentor and asked, eyes wide with worry, "Are you all right?" The young tortoiseshell she-cat nodded, shaking water out of her fur, "Yes! But brrr, that water is cold!" She sneezed as Stormfang huffed beside her, "What did I tell you?" Not looking apologetic at all, Emberwhisker replied, "Sorry Stormfang." Whiterose asked, "And you Stormfang?" The gray tom shook his head, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong with me." Brightstream nodded and mewed, "All right, let's get back to camp." Turning to Whiterose, the deputy mewed, "If you would do the honors of giving Ivypaw the news, that would be great." The white she:cat nodded and indicated for Ivypaw to stay with her.
Ivypaw turned to Whiterose, confused, as the white she-cat called, "All right, Thea, Daisy, you guys can come out now." The apprentice's eyes widened with shock as he realized, "Mama! Sister!" The chocolate tabby she-cat that stepped out from the bushes nearby looked immensely relieved as she allowed the young tom to bury his nose into hers. She murmured, "My dear darling..." as Ivypaw sobbed in happiness at her side. The younger she-cat next to her had a relieved look about her as well as she waited patiently for her brother to turn his attention to her. Sometime after, the young tom turned his attention to Daisy; the tom asked, frowning, "Mama, Daisy, where's Lily?" The two she-cats exchanged sorrowful looks before Thea began, "Ivy..." The apprentice blinked, sensing the change come in his family, "Huh...?" Daisy meowed, tears in her light amber eyes, "Lily... She... Oh Ivy..." She let out a thin wail as Whiterose comforted the young she-cat; Thea finished her daughter's sentence heavily, "The river that almost took your friend away... took Lily. She drowned when the ice under her broke..." The family of three huddled beside the frozen river as all three cats mourned the loss of their loved one, with Whiterose sitting nearby in silence, not knowing how to comfort the cats. After what seemed like ages had passed, Ivypaw sniffed as he turned to the white warrior, "Whiterose, let's go to camp. My mama and sister need to be warm after spending so much out here in the cold." The white she-cat nodded and wordlessly started the trek back, indicating for the three cats to follow her.
Back at camp, Honeytuft huffed as he nosed some tansy toward Emberwhisker, "You should have listened to Stormfang. You could have drowned!" Emberwhisker only shrugged her shoulders as she lapped up the herbs, only to grimace as she complained, "Honeytuft, did you just poison me?" The SeaClan medicine cat let out a dramatic sigh as he replied, "No, Emberwhisker. That was tansy for your coughs. It should help ease them soon, and it's good to prevent greencough." Turning to Stormfang, the honey-colored tom dipped his head, "I'm sure if you hadn't been there to think quickly, she could have drowned." As the gray tom looked away in embarrassment at the praise, they were interrupted by Leafstar's yowl from the main chamber: "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here, around the Meeting Ledge, for a Clan meeting!" Honeytuft nudged Brightstream and Stormfang out, meowing, "Go on, you two. Emberwhisker and I will be watching from this corner of the camp." As the SeaClan deputy and Stormfang left the medicine cat's den, Emberwhisker asked incredulously, "Wait what?"
Leafstar meowed, sweeping his leaf-green gaze across the camp, "We have two important pieces of information to share today. One: Cats are forbidden to go near the river unless for border patrols. Do not go onto the ice. Emberwhisker was almost lost due to falling into the river when she stepped onto thin ice today. Thanks to Stormfang' s quick thinking and Ivypaw's timely warning, she is safe, albeit in the medicine cat's den for some time for recovering from her exposure to the cold water. Two," the tom continued, glancing at where Thea and Daisy were sitting below, "I am happy to announce that Whiterose and Brightstream found Thea, Ivypaw's mother, and Daisy, his sister. Unfortunately," he added heavily, lowering his eyes in sorrow, "Lily, his other sister, is not here with us today, as she drowned in the very river that nearly took Emberwhisker from us today." Brightstream assured the assembled cats, "But SeaClan will honor Lily as one of our own. She will be safe in StarClan, and she will look over us from up there." Leafstar nodded at his deputy's words and meowed, "Yes. Now," turning to Thea and Daisy once more, we will hold a warrior ceremony for Thea, and an apprentice ceremony for Daisy."
Leafstar began, looking up into the sky, "I, Leafstar, leader of SeaClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this cat. She seeks to learn and understand the ways of your noble code and join us as a member, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." He faced Thea and asked, "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" The chocolate tabby she-cat shivered at the question, but nodded, "Yes." The brown tabby tom continued, "Then, by the power of StarClan I give you your warrior name. From this day forth you will be known as Dustflower. StarClan recognizes your willingness to learn and patience, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SeaClan." The Clan erupted into happy chants of "Dustflower!" as Leafstar leapt down to rest his muzzle on the new warrior, who licked his shoulder in return. Leafstar jumped up to the Meeting Ledge and continued, once the shouts died down, "Daisy, until you have earned your warrior name you will be known as Daisypaw." Turning to Brightstream, he mewed, "Brightstream, you have proved yourself as a loyal warrior and deputy of our Clan for the past moon. You will mentor Daisypaw. Please teach her everything you know," he added as the ginger-and-white she-cat went to touch noses with her. With that, the brown tabby leader jumped down from the ledge and came to Stormfang, who had a slight frown on his face. The gray warrior dipped his head to his leader as Leafstar asked, "Can you take Ivypaw while Emberwhisker is recovering?" After a few moments of uncomfortable silence Stormfang nodded, "Sure, Leafstar. I'll train him." "Thank you," the SeaClan leader replied, and he was gone.
Stormfang growled softly as he muttered to himself, "Daisypaw should have been given to me! I had more experience in Clan life than that Brightstream! Just because she's deputy-" he stopped abruptly as he saw Ivypaw came trotting over to him. Stormfang forced a neutral mask to come to his face before he mewed pleasantly, "Let's go to the Pine Grove, I'm going to teach you some tracking skills." The brown-and-white tom flinched under the solid gray tom's gaze, but he nodded and followed Stormfang toward the entrance of the forest.
(Now)
A moon had passed, and Honeytuft had confirmed Emberwhisker had caught a cough, though it wasn't as serious as whitecough or greencough. He had made sure that the warrior get plenty of rest, which she resented greatly; Emberwhisker complained to a visiting Ivypaw, "I swear to StarClan, Ivypaw, Honeytuft is trying to kill me, not letting me go out of his den!" Her apprentice soothed her, "At least you will be fine once you rest! He's helping you, not killing you." He then sat down heavily, recounting miserably, "But I do wish you could mentor me again! All Stormfang does is make me work! You let me play with Ripplepaw once in a while!" The tortoiseshell's whiskers twitched with indignation as she huffed, "The nerve of him! Just because he's older than me, he thinks it's okay to boss around my apprentice!" Emberwhisker promised, resting her tailtip on the brown-and-white tom's head, "I'll have a mouthful to say to him when I'm back!" Stormfang's loud meow was enough to make Ivypaw jump to his paws fearfully, "Ivypaw!" Glancing back to his actual mentor, Ivypaw mumbled, "I'll come back soon!" and raced out to meet the gray tom.
Leafstar meowed, "Stormfang, I want you to take Ivypaw and Dustflower to the pine forest beyond our territory. There must be more prey out there, and if we can, we could further our territory." Stormfang narrowed his eyes in thought as he asked, "You mean the vast treeline beyond our grove?" Ivypaw added, "Us?" Leafstar nodded, "Stormfang is a calm, levelheaded warrior who was named for his fighting skills. If you are challenged he will hold his own." Turning to Dustflower, he added, "But sometimes, the softness of a mother cat is needed more than tooth and claw if there is a group of cats. Dustflower, I trust you to act as an emissary for our Clan." The chocolate tabby she-cat stared at the sandy brown tom in shock, lost for words. After some time she meowed softly, "I will do my best." Nodding, Leafstar meowed, turning to Ivypaw, "and perhaps with a young cat as yourself they will hesitate to attack without reason. And besides," the SeaClan leader added gently, as Ivypaw blinked at him, bewildered, "you are the fastest in our Clan. When there is trouble you can come running to tell us." Stormfang nodded, "I will go then, Leafstar. We will report back what we have found." Honeytuft appeared from the tunnel to the nursery, meowing, "Leafstar, Wh-" He heard the last words of Stormfang and he came over and mewed firmly, "Go with StarClan's blessing." The three cats dipped their heads at his words, then they were gone, hurrying into the path to the clifftop.
Honeytuft turned to Leafstar and meowed, "Whiterose is settling down well. Her kits are safe and sound in her belly. She still has a moon," the medicine cat added, as Leafstar's eyes shone in delight at the mention of his kits, "but be careful near her." The SeaClan leader gave a nod and ducked into the tunnel path to the nursery.
Whiterose asked from the dim recesses of the cavernous chamber, "Leafstar? Is that you?" The sandy brown tabby tom made his way to his mate's side in an instant. He purred as his tail gently swept over the pregnant she-cat's swollen belly. He meowed, "Who thought I'd be a father, Whiterose?" The white she-cat purred, replying, "These kits will be the future of our Clan, Leafstar. You and our legacy," she murmured, burying her nose into her mate's side.
