The sun was glowing bright in the sky, it's bright rays shining off the thin layer of snow which lay as a blanket across the wide meadow. Honeystar lay at the entrance to the Caverocks impatiently. It was the day that her apprentice, Hazelpaw was meant to come out from her assessment and Honeystar couldn't help but feel nervous. The leader had been staying on guard outside the large cave system for a moon now while Hazelpaw was inside. As sun-high came ever so closer, Honeystar grew more and more frightened of her apprentice's whereabouts. The sun was nearly at it's highest point in the sky when Honeystar thought she heard a scuffling of pawsteps and spun around to see the thin, scraggly frame of Hazelpaw trudging out of the cave. The leader nearly yowled with relief and raced over to her beloved apprentice, nuzzling into her affectionately, "You made it! You passed your assessment! I'm so proud of you, Hazelpaw," Honeystar purred as Hazelpaw let out a gruff meow, "I felt like I was going to die in there. I wouldn't have lasted another day," The bony tabby she-cat admitted, "If it wasn't for the cats of StarClan's wisdom, I probably wouldn't have made it," Honeystar glanced down at her apprentice, "Did the cats of StarClan really speak with you at night by the lake?" "Yes! They really did! I thought I was going insane at first," The apprentice exclaimed, "That's great. We'll get you fed and cleaned up back at camp and then your sister will leave for her assessment tomorrow. I can give you your warrior ceremony when we arrive back at camp or we can wait for Cloudpaw to return from her assessment and give you your ceremonies together?" The leader suggested, "I want to have my ceremony with Cloudpaw. She's my sister- we do everything together," Honeystar paused before nodding in understanding before the two she-cats walked back to camp in silence.
The leader and her apprentice arrived to chaos in camp. The duo heard shouts and yowls not long after the entered the forest and broke into a run, dashing into camp to find four wiry cats yowling and hissing at the warriors surrounding them. Most cats were on edge, with ears pulled back and backs arched. The only notable absentees were Featherburr and Sparrowfrost. When Hazelpaw saw Cloudpaw, the brown tabby apprentice let out a cry of delight, bowling into her sister, who struck out at Hazelpaw before realising who she was, "Hazelpaw!" Cloudpaw gasped, nuzzling into her sister, "What's going on? Who are these cats?" Hazelpaw asked over the arguing of the other cats. "We don't know. We found them in camp when we woke up and Mousewhisker was the cat to find them, but it was Owlflame that really got the argument started. Sparrowfrost's kits were born a few nights ago and thankfully they were all healthy, but Owlflame must have felt the cats were a threat to the kits. We're not getting anywhere because all the cats are doing is trying to shout over each other" No sooner than had Cloudpaw finished her sentence, Honeystar let out a deafening yowl and all the cats were silenced and glanced with surprise up at the usually kind and calm leader. "First of all, I would like to know who you four are and why you are here," the leader asked with a low growl, glaring at the cats. The tortoiseshell she-cat was first to speak, noting the way all the cats obeyed Honeystar's yowls and didn't dare resume their arguing again, "I'm assuming you're the leader around here," the she-cat questioned, her eyes piercing into the pale ginger she-cat's. "I am. Now answer my question," Honeystar demanded, "I am Chestnutstar. I was the leader of ObsidianClan. This is my mate, Bristleclaw, who was deputy and our son, Duskfall. He's only received his warrior name a moon or two before our clan... fell apart. Terrible things happened and we had no choice but to leave. We lost our other kits, Bramblestrike and Smokestorm and we don't know of their whereabouts and we're looking to start fresh. We wish to join your clan," The tortoiseshell molly explained. Honeystar kept her neutral face and posture, turning to the other cat who hadn't been introduced. "And who are you?" The pale ginger she-cat asked, "I am Thistlepelt and I was the deputy of WrenClan until it succumbed to similar circumstances as ObsidianClan. I found Chestnutstar and her family's scent and followed it here. I wish to seek refuge in SageClan as well," the dark brown-and-white tom explained. Honeystar sighed, relaxing slightly, "Well, I am honoured to have such high-ranking cats within our clan and since you have came seeking peace and refuge, I see no problem with us accommodating your needs. However, we will continue this discussion at a later point because I need to travel to speak with StarClan and then in the morning I will be accommodating Bearclaw and Cloudpaw on her warrior's assessment. For now you will all stay in the warrior's den. Owlflame and Stormrunner, you will be in charge of showing these cats about and Hazelpaw, you can take care of Duskfall," Honeystar commanded, and without a further word, she spun around to collect her travelling herbs for the visit to the moonpool. Cloudpaw turned to speak with with Hazelpaw again, but she had already left and was standing alongside Duskfall, staring up at the handsome tom. Cloudpaw caught a glimpse of her sister's expression and it was easy for Cloudpaw to tell; Hazelpaw was in love.
Meanwhile, Bearclaw and Mottlefang had escaped the chaos together and were walking through the territory, talking. Bearclaw had been smitten with the rebellious she-cat ever since she joined the clan and couldn't make it any more obvious. The two spent nearly all their time together and although she didn't have admirable looks, he was attracted to her 'bad girl', scratched up demeanor. They often went on walks like these and patrolled together, but Bearclaw was determined to get his feelings towards Mottlefang this time out, "Mottlefang, we need to talk," The large tabby tom meowed, "What's up?" The tortoiseshell she-cat asked in her gruff, raspy voice, "I know you've had a mate and family before you joined this clan and I have too," the tom started, "I know they say first love always wins, but I was hoping that maybe we could put our pasts behind us and start a new family in this clan," Bearclaw suggested, "Sounds good to me." Mottlefang shrugged, bumping her side into Bearclaw's.
