thing wrote:Slateslide welcomes Avalanchepaw, the newest apprentice.. and the first, of RippleClan. "Welcome to RippleClan territory, newbie." he meowed, then went towards Rhubarbwhistle in a desperate beeline. "We've got a new cat?" Asked Rhubabrbwhistle, who scurried sideways in an effort to dodge Slateslide's somewhat-fatherly attempt at trying to get her to agree. Slateslide seemed to admire Avalanchepaw as he didn't whiff even a sullen scowl at her, but he wasn't so sure what to do with Avalanchepaw. The apprentice was a pretty brown tortie, but her fur was mostly white and she had aqua-blue eyes with a squished-in nose. It was subtly pretty, despite that. As Pertelswoop approached the molly fairly quickly; unhesitant to approve of a cat of her age group. (Besides Harrowbranch, she guessed.)
Harrowbranch seemed approving of Pertelswoop's advances, but he was pretty sure Pertelswoop needed to find a better love than he, for he.. was pretty much desperate fo Slateslide's affections, which he didn't expect to recieve. Surely, the sleek tom would fall pettily towards the gorgeous Beetlestar.. but the young tom digressed, that perhaps he should just ignore the fact that that's happening after all and pretend he was interested in Avalanchepaw's newcoming. "Welcome, Avalanchepaw, to RippleClan. I'll give you a warm welcome." Avalanchepaw seemed disinterested in the forward approach of friendship, but the cold she-cat looked ascance for the time being. Harrowbranch felt the tension grow, but abandoned it before it matured into a wedge into their future relationship, and backed off. Pertelswoop was next up to woo her as her first friend; an ongoing battle. "Hello, my name is Avalanchepaw. I was a loner wandering around the streets of the 'Twolegplace' you mentioned. My brother is still out there, but he may be around somewhere near your territory." she meowed. Pertelswoop swooned at the charisma of the young molly. "Hey, I'm P-pertelswoop! Would you like to be friends with me..?" with no reluctance, Avalanchepaw agreed, looking as the young warrior fit the qualities of an ideal friend. "Momma, can I see the new cat?!" Hickorykit's pained screech was heard, and Hazelwish snuck her head out of the badger den to see the situation.
"Why not. Go greet the new apprentice- our first." she smiled. Hickorykit's face went from happy to sad. "'Daww. I wanted to be the first apprentice of RippleClan, so I could be the first one to go through the ceremony! I've been cheated, mom!" he panted, but his mother rolled his eyes and ushered his small fanny all the way over to Avalanchepaw, who didn't seem all too excited to see him, after what he said. Before Hickorykit could formally introduce himself, Oakhollow walked towards him, happy that his son finally had gone out of the nursery for the first time. "Welcome to the outside wold- How's my boy?" Oakhollow cut in between Hickorykit's interaction, which the small tyke began to ruthlessly bash about for. "Dad, no!" he screeched, causing the deputy to struggled back in confusion. "You're going to talk to her?" he looked back, and noticed Hazelwish's annoyed groan, and forward, to see Avalanchepaw impatiently wating.
"Gee, Oakhollow. That was very mindful of you.." Hazelwish sarcastically mewed, laughing in the proccess. "Come on.. Oakhollow, don't ruin this chance for your own son..!" Pertelswoop stepped in, and pulled apart the confused deputy, looking quizzical as the time when he saw the sun for the first time.
"Regardless, Rhubarbwhistle, I am not afraid." Slateslide concurred. "Charmed to see you've finally broken out of that non-speaking, icy-cold persona, pops." Rhubarbwhistle broke character to comment.
Beetlestar goes to ask for another warrior.
I've been meaning to post this for a while.. I think, it's just been sitting in my drafts. Hopefully it's not a repost? (I don't remember my last post.) Will RippleClan be rejected or can I keep doing this?

Number of Cats: 7
Next Moonpool visit: August 31st~~~~~~Honeyseed moved along the river, her ears pricking from the sounds of the river and prey that lived in and around it. She was no hunting patrol, however. She searched for herbs, something to help build up the storage grow and make sure her new Clanmates would have her to help of anything happened. And may StarClan personally strike her down if she is wrong that they are bound to get hurt sooner rather than later. She soon found a familiar herb that she wasn't particularly used to seeing in the past, but it wasn't surprising in such a place. She gathered some of it up, noting that she could likely return anytime if she needed more. Sweet-sedge was known to grow even in Leafbare. As she was gatherimg it, her tail swaying behind her, she felt something catch it. Quickly, she turned in surprise, finding that it had been a catchweed, a burr of which was caught on her tail. The molly but away the sweet-sedge in her mouth, detaching the burr from her tail. The ginger cat stuck it to her side. Yes, it wasn't a particularly pleasant way to carry it, for her at least, but this way seemed efficient at least. With multiple stuck to her pelt, she picked back up the sweet-sedge and headed back.
Toadstep was still in camp when Honeyseed made it back, visibly holding back laughter as he noticed he burrs sticking in a neat arrangement on her pelt. The molly chose to ignore him, flashing him a look of shared amusement as she was definitely aware of what this looked like. In her den, she put the herbs away, coming out shortly after to speak to Toadstep who she figured may feel lonely with the other cats out of camp. He seemed bored at least as she saw him pacing back and forth again. He merely gazed up at her in his pacing, likely assuming she was going somewhere again. The tabby tom seemed surprised when she struck up a conversation.
"Worried about Softstone?" It made sense with all the sparks flying between the warrior and deputy.
"How could I not? She's bound to have her kits soon and it can't be good to exhaust her!"
"Don't worry about it so much. She'll be fine and so will the kits..."
Toadstep went back to pacing his head lowered.
"If you want to stretch your legs, you can go outside. Maybe you can catch something or just clear your head." Honeyseed suggested. There wasn't much here for anyone else to want regardless. Her herb stores weren't that great and there weren't kits yet.
"But-thanks." The warrior was ready to protest, but he smiled instead, quickly hurrying outside. Finally, the medicine cat could have some peace.
----
Oaksplash went for the river as usual, knowing Softstone didn't particularly mind the water. At the very least she didn't show it. To his surprise she started to veer away before they even reached it.
"I'll try searching somewhere else. No offence really. But you know how much Bearface hates the smell of fish." The molly smiled, racing off slightly clumsily elsewhere. Her belly was starting to swell already, though she could still manage just fine. Leaving Oaksplash to go fish, she kept her eyes and ears on the search of any sign of prey in the mostly open place while roaming. Short grass grew in clumps all around, but it wasn't really any cover for a cat. A small rodent was visible, chewing on a seed by a border. She tried to sneak towards it as close as she could. But she was very visible. This wasn't much good, but she had to manage. The vole, thankfully, was scared towards her instead as a commotion came from the trees. Softstone took the chance, pouncing and landing sloppily, yet the vole was caught by the tail. Just as it slipped out, she grabbed it in her jaws, killing it with a bite. Sadly, as she roamed longer, she didn't get lucky enough to catch anything else. As she returned to camp, she was surprised to see Toadstep dropping another vole by the fresh-kill pile beside a fish. Oaksplash greeted her mate and both toms noticed her entrance just after, both greeting her. Toadstep even drew closer, rubbing his cheek with hers.
---
Boulderstar and Bearface talked amongst themselves as they trudged from border to border. Everything was peaceful, really. Bearface suggested they head back early, though Boulderstar urged him onward. It may have been boring, but they had to do this. While not happy with it, the brown tom followed. To their surprise they found a white molly sniffing at the border markings. She raised her head as she noticed them approach, narrowing her eyes as the deputy as he, in turn, growled.
"What are you doing here, Hailstorm?" He challenged as Boulderstar smiled, recognizing the molly as well.
"Nice to see you here. May I ask why you are at the border alone?"
"All you two need to know is that I'm looking for a new home. I refuse to be a filthy rogue any longer so if it means putting up with your stench, so be it." The way she spoke made it obvious she did not like her own decision of coming here. Although it is to be expected. She was a cat from a different Clan so this type of request was not pleasant.
"Watch it!" Bearface growled, unsheathing his claws with teeth bared.
"Settle down, Bearface." The leader commanded, continuing on with a softer tone. "We would be happy to allow you to join, Hailstorm. I hope you will come to find our territory to be a good home like the rest of us."
"And how many cats do you have?"
"Six at the moment."
"Pathetic."
~~~~
With Softstone growing ever closer to giving birth, Honeyseed had confirmed that she really could no longer go on patrols. It wasn't as much of a problem now, Bearface was smart enough to know. And there was a new warrior who could, let's say, take over the queen's duties for now. But since Hailstorm had moved in, the den was far more noisy. She and Bearface bickered almost non-stop each day and even now they stood nose to nose, growling at one another with claws out and pelts bristling. It was almost as if they enjoyed it as they always sought one another out. But for now, enough was enough. Softstone was trying to sleep in the queen's tunnel, Honeyseed occasionally checking on her to see if everything's alright. Now, she was poking her head out, her own ginger fur bristling.
"For StarClan's sake, will you keep it down?! You're worse than any apprentices I've ever seen."
Boulderstar had clearly had enough as well, nudging Hailstorm away from his deputy with a paw. "Border patrol. If you would not mind that is." She simply nodded, sheathing her claws and letting her fur lie flat as she calmly padded away and out of camp, leaving Bearface virtually alone to guard the camp. Oaksplash and Toadstep had already gone out unannounced to a hunting patrol, wanting to get away from the racket.
----
Later, as the rest of the Clan was asleep, even Bearface and Hailstorm, Boulderstar ventured out into the Moonpool, leaving the camp under the guard of Oaksplash. The leader laid down by the water, lapping at the surface a few times before settling down comfortably and venturing into the realm of dreams. He found himself faced with a ragged old-looking black tom who smiled at him. Boulderstar was happy to see his old medicine cat, a tom known for his nearly bald tail.
"Hello old friend. I apologize, but I have not come to chat. I have come to ask your noble ranks for a new warrior if it is not too big of a burden. And yet, I can't help but ask, how has life among the stars been treating you?"
"Well, it surely isn't letting me go hungry or get lonely. I'll see what I can do. Keep an extra good lookout, though. You wouldn't want to miss your new Clanmate, now would ya?"[Softstone is going into labor. Honeyseed stays in camp to help her]

"It's not [i]that impossible," Ashcloud said eagerly. Almost too eagerly.
"Cut it out, y'guys! You've been fighting like ol' nannies the whole time. Cut! It! Out!!" Oakstar hissed. She was grumpy, not because she was tired but because the other cats had been fighting the whole way. "I caught his scent," cried Lilypetal. "I caught his scent. I swear I did!"
"You were seperated from Creampaw just a few hours after he was born. We know him better than you." said Clawflight. Oakstar was surprised. Clawflight was usually a calm cat!

─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────FIRESTREAM"A new warrior walks among PineClan today; from this day onward this young tom will be hailed as Firestream, for his adept swimming prowess and overall love for the water." Mintstar announced, an inaudible purr leaving her throat as the Clan chanted Firestream's name while the ginger tabby stared at the crowd around him with unbridled ecstasy. Laughing gleefully to himself, Firestream could barely listen to Mintstar finish the ceremony and was only aware it had ended once he witnessed the crowd begin to break away. He barely had time to move before his mother barrelled into him, covering his face with a barrage of licks and muzzles while he took it all in stride.
Daisystorm pulled away once she realized her affection was getting a tad excessive, the wide grin she wore on her muzzle faded into a soft smile as both she and Firestream grew quiet. "I'm so proud of you," The molly mewed genuinely, eyes locked on her only son while Firestream had his own forest-green hues focused on her as well. Overcome by emotion, Daisystorm felt her eyes begin to water with unshed tears all while the tom stared on helplessly, his own eyes welling up. "M-mama? Are you okay?" He inquired, wishing he could do anything to help her feel better.
It might have been seen as an odd sight, two grown cats suddenly tearing up out of nowhere, but it was a common occurrence between the pair; stemming from the close bond they forged long before the two of them found PineClan. It had been moons of heartbreak after heartbreak before either of them would find any semblance of peace in their lives, and as the rest of their family perished right before their eyes they understood that they would only ever have each other. With that in mind, they became in tune with each other's emotions and whatever one felt, the other would react the same regardless of their own feelings.
"I'm fine, I-It's just..." Daisystorm let out a shuddered breath, her voice cracking as the first tear fell. "Y-You made it... out of everyone, you're h-here." She stopped herself from speaking there, but nothing could stop her tears as she held Firestream close to her and unceasingly sobbed into his fur. Firestream felt his claws dig into the earth in a desperate battle against his own tears, his body trembling with the effort to look strong until a sudden memory of the cats he lost flashed through his mind. At that, not even the cheerful tabby could stop himself from weeping alongside his mother.xxxxxxxxxxx wow i'm bad at writing LMAO here lets have a timeskip xxxxxxxxxxxDawn gave way to dusk in the blink of an eye, the distant sky becoming a swath of dark blue and orange hues, decorated with a pawful of stray stars. Firestream gulped as he stared, owl-eyed, at the sky above him. He knew soon enough he would undergo his warrior's vigil once nightfall came, and knowing he was going to do it alone was daunting. He tried reassuring himself that he wasn't going to be completely alone as PineClan was notably active at night, but that did nothing to alleviate his nerves.
Firestream chided himself for acting so vulnerable, usually, he was able to completely hide his innermost feelings of diffidence even from himself and it surprised him that he was having difficulty doing so this time. He supposed it had something to do with the emotional moment shared with his mother much earlier today, thinking of his family always managed to affect him negatively after all. Sighing heavily, the ginger tabby made his way out of the warriors' den and headed towards his group of friends, making sure to put on one of his casual smiles before they noticed him.
The five cats were as lively as they had always been; Juniperpelt and Acornclaw exchanging quips and over-exaggerated tales while Orchidnose and Ratnose pretended they were listening by nodding their heads and adding in a few mews like they weren't totally lost in whatever stories the tom and molly conjured up this time. And then there was Egrettail, the gangly white tom who eluded Firestream throughout the entirety of his apprenticeship, batting a pine cone between his forepaws inattentively. "Hey, guys!" Firestream mewed, causing Egrettail to release a strangled gasp and throw his pine cone to the side before choosing to stare at the bark of the Great Oak rather than the tabby.
Firestream's smile fell as he watched Egrettail avoid him, again. He was hurt knowing that the tom's apparent avoidance towards him hadn't faded a whisker after he left the apprentice's den and he helplessly wondered over what he could've possibly done to make Egrettail dislike him in the first place. Firestream stifled a sigh, choosing to lay beside his best friend Ratnose since the black tom invited him over by patting the ground next to him with his tail. Neither toms noticed the jealous gaze that Egrettail sent to both them, nor the defeated sigh that left his maw before staring at his paws.
"Congratulations, Firestream!" Ratnose mewed kindly, giving the tom a closed-eye smile that had Firestream's mood rise after Egrettail had given him the cold shoulder. He chuckled sheepishly as the rest of his friends' mewed their own praises.
"It'll be nice to share a den with you again." Orchidnose mewed cordially.
"And it'll be easier to sneak bugs in Comfreyfang and Duckfoot's nest now." Acornclaw chimed, a smirk on her muzzle.
"I know a certain someone will be very happy having you in the warriors' den." Juniperpelt mewed playfully.
At that Firestream's ears swiveled towards the gray-and-white warrior in interest, tilting his head in bemusement at the knowing smirk on his face while his siblings stared at him in disapproval. Egrettail, in particular, looked the most offended, his skinny tail twitching to and fro like a frenzied adder while the fur along his neck slowly rose. "Egrettail, are you alri-" Firestream was cut off by the tom jumping up to his paws, bewildered by the unreadable gaze Egrettail sent his way. "S-Sorry guys, I have to go. I-I don't think that squirrel agreed with me." He stuttered out before scampering to hide inside the warriors' den.
"You didn't even eat a squirrel! You had a mouse, you mouse-brain!" Juniperpelt called out after him, rolling his eyes as he directed his attention back towards the rest of the group. The tom frowned as he noticed how utterly dejected Firestream appeared, the concerned gazes everyone gave them were burning, but this time he made no effort to hide how he was feeling. "Does your brother hate me?" He asked in defeat, earning a pair of sighs from Egrettail's siblings as they tried to reassure him that wasn't the case. He hardly paid attention and instead hoped nightfall came soon.
A night by himself on vigil seemed preferable instead of sharing a den with a tom who hated him.SHADELEAF"Tell my brother that I am at peace now, that he needn't feel blame for what happened, and that I was happy to see him one last time."
Shadeleaf stiffened as the melodious voice of Anthiese echoed in her mind once again, preventing her from focusing on reorganizing the herb store like she was supposed to. Weaselstorm cast her a curious look, letting out a soft sigh once he understood what was wrong with his apprentice. "You're thinking about her again, aren't you?" He stated; suspicions confirmed as he noted the thin grimace that appeared on Shadeleaf's maw. As always, nothing could get by Weaselstorm when it came to what she was thinking, and she learned to both appreciate and slightly resent her mentor's keen observation over time.
"We should've been there, Weaselstorm. We-we could've, h-helped..." She choked on her words, a bitter sob leaving her throat as her resolve crumbled away. Shadeleaf hadn't been a full medicine cat for long, but she knew she didn't deserve holding the title given how she managed to fail her patients time and time again. If she hadn't forgotten about what raspberry leaves looked like she could have saved Firkit and Cedarkit, and if she had held off her ceremony just a little more she could have saved Anthiese's kits from becoming orphans and sparing Duckfoot of the grief that came from losing his sister.
Quiet sobs filled the den as regret tore through her like gales of wind, head bowed in shame as she broke down in front of her mentor. Weaselstorm's maw formed into a remorseful frown, the sight of Shadeleaf like this squeezing his heart painfully. The medicine cat took in a deep sigh before mewing, "...Shadeleaf, there was nothing we could have done for her." He mewed calmly; Shadeleaf shook her head in denial. "I know it hurts. It hurts knowing there's so much life placed in your paws and that it crushes you to realize that sometimes you can't save it."
Shadeleaf hesitantly met her mentor's eyes, eyes still brimming with tears as she waited for Weaselstorm to continue. "But we have to think like medicine cats, and that means we have to keep looking forward no matter what, so that we can focus on the cats that need us in the future." He meowed incisively, skinny tail curled around his paws as he waited what Shadeleaf would say in response. The contrite molly knew there was truth in his words, but she couldn't bring herself to accept them yet. "What about the cats we lose, Weaselstorm? We can't leave behind the ones we failed."
"Easy, we don't." He replied shortly after like it was the simplest thing in the world. Shadeleaf's head tilted questionably, not expecting the quick answer. "We never forget the ones we lose, Shadeleaf, they help us learn from our mistakes and make us better healers in the long run," Weaselstorm explained, letting his words sink in as Shadeleaf processed what he said. Once again she knew he had a point, but something about this made it a little easier to bear. She stared outside the den, catching the brown tabby pelt of Duckfoot as he stepped outside the nursery.
"We should tell him, shouldn't we? About Anthiese's message." She mewed, thinking of the late queen once more. Weaselstorm nodded pensively, it had been a few days since they received it, and Duckfoot definitely had the right to know. "I think we should." He replied, getting up to his paws to leave the den until Shadeleaf stopped him by blocking the way out with her tail.
"Thank you Weaselstorm, really."MARIGOLDKITMarigoldkit was the first to rise out of his own siblings, though second only to Lavenderkit who sat beside her sister now. Asterkit who caught Marigoldkit's gaze and purred happily at the tom, making the tips of his ears flush red as he averted his eyes shyly. "Who do you think is going to be our mentors?" Sheepkit mewed out of the blue, eyes wide in curiousity. Patchkit answered first, self-assured and cocky as usual. "I bet you mine is Comfreyfang, she's one of the best warriors in the Clan after all." He stated, Sorrelkit rolling his eyes in annoyance. "Man, I hope Mintstar gives you a bad mentor, might knock you down a stump." He hissed, Patchkit staring at him incredulously while Dandelionkit held a front paw to her muzzle to hide her giggles.
"I hope mine is Vervaincloud, he's really handsome." Dandelionkit swooned, ignoring how all of her littermates stared at her like she grew two heads. "Uh, ew, he's like - a million moons older than you," Sorrelkit remarked, swatting the cream molly's ear with his tail. Marigoldkit chuckled, catching Sorrelkit's attention as he moved to sit beside him. "And what about you? Any cat you want to mentor you?" The tabby kit asked. Marigoldkit shook his head nonchalantly in reply. "Personally I'm fine with anyone, as long as I learn fast enough."
He heard Sorrelkit mutter out a 'same' before being approached by Lavenderkit and Asterkit, the former shooting a judgemental look at her five denmates. "You all sound like you get to choose who mentors you, you know that's not how it goes, right?" She mewed disapprovingly, Asterkit huffed as she nudged her sister playfully. "And you sound way too uptight! C'mon sis, liven up a little, it's a big day, after all~" She sang, making Marigoldkit purr at her liveliness as the gray molly attempted to get a smile out of her sister. Stoic as she could be, not even Lavenderkit was immune to Asterkit's playfulness: the fond smile on her face was definitely proof of that.
"It's not like we're being serious anyway, Lavenderkit. We were just curious, is all." Sheepkit mewed, holding her denmate's blue stare evenly. Lavenderkit nodded curtly, "I know, Sheepkit." she replied. Marigoldkit tensed as the mollies continued to stare at each other. He knew they were friends, but he also knew of the rivalry that brewed between them over the course of six moons, even though neither of them refused to acknowledge it themselves. "Anyway..." Marigoldkit stressed, carefully maneuvering his sister closer to the rest of their littermates. "I think we should all settle down and wait for the ceremony and stuff. I think it's almost time?"
Asterkit, oblivious to her sister's stare down with Marigoldkit's, nodding eagerly in agreement. "I think you're right! Ooh, I can't wait!" Marigoldkit smiled once again seeing Asterkit's exuberance before locking eyes with Lavenderkit, the gray-and-white molly stayed quiet as she looked directly at him thoughtfully before staring up at the Great Oak like nothing happened.
Something told Marigoldkit that he was in for an interesting apprenticeship.─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Gradually cats started to gather around, some even staying. Cherry kept the pile strong, with the help of the staying cats, one of which was a tom of the name of Branch. Soon the cats started calling Cherry their leader. Cherry had a litter with Branch some days later, involving, Iris, Thorn and Lilac, Unfortunately, almost like a curse, two of them died, and with Cherry’s old age, she died too. Thorn, the only surviving kit, buried his mother, and raised the Sapling that grew there, each generation after that they kept raising the sapling, but each generation was taken by some curse, as if the dark forest wanted every cat from the Cherry linage dead. Also darling, you know this isn't the full story, but the other parts you can hear when you're older. Well then, I believe that the current heir is called Daisy.”
“Where’d you hear that from, Mum?”
“Oh…, each generation left a flower, representing them, that’s how we know.”
“But your name is Daisy!”
“It is? Must be a coincidence, sleep well my little Lily”
Lilystar's eyes crept open, her pale blue eyes standing out from her white fur, she almost closed them again, wanting to relive the one pleasant dream she has had in a while, though the old legend regarding the ancient cherry tree had brought up some, ideas, of her's, what was the full story? Her mother had disappeared the night after, did that have anything to do with this... curse? Moving the gaze of her crystal blue eyes up to the still twilight sky, that still had the moon shining. The glistening of the moon brightened up her pelt, allowing her fur to look as if it was glistening as the soft moonlit breeze blew by. Yet the thoughts stayed.
What curse?
What does it want?
Why does it exist?
How does it work?
What other parts did my mother Daisy not tell me about?
...
The cherry tree curse, it takes control of the victims mind.
Vengeance is the short answer, the long answer is the fact the Cherry tree legend should have been killed, this sapling should have never lived, but now that it is alive, I can use it for other purposes.
The dark forest, you know how they want to take over the forest, they're doing it inside out, making it kill itself.
By trickery, they trick the victim they're friendly, but then bend to rules to the point they shatter.
Other parts?
Where do I begin...
Daisy said she was sorry that the curse might get you, and that she shouldn't have brought you here, but she had too, later, she got killed by Cherry, who spirit was still possessed by the curse, your whole family died there, when you woke up and saw Cherry, you ran away, and had realized you wanted to come back and bring back the cherry legend, which I helped you with, telling you could have all you ever wanted.
