(Last moon)
Shorefall meowed, gingerly putting a sore paw onto the cold stone floor and testing for weight, "Do I really have to stay a moon?" Honeytuft nodded sternly as he placed a poultice over Rippleheart's wounds, "Yes Shorefall. You and Rippleheart." The young gray tabby warrior hissed at the pain as she complained, "Ow! Careful!" The honey-colored tabby tom sighed and meowed, "That's going to sting for a while." Rippleheart only sniffed in response as Shorefall sighed. Dustflower and Ivynose hurried into the medicine cat's chamber to check up on Honeytuft's patients. Dustflower exclaimed, looking at her mate's wrapped footpaw, "Are you all right?" Shorefall muttered, "It's only a few scratches and a wrenched claw, I'll live." Dapplepaw, who had come back from getting some water-soaked moss from the back of the stores, snorted, "Your gashes look really deep, Shorefall." Dustflower looked a little upset as she sniffed at the wrap as Shorefall scowled, "It's not that bad, honestly."

Meanwhile, Ivynose sat at Rippleheart's side and gently ran his tail across the injured she-cat's flank, meowing gently, "Hey, you all right?" The young she-cat mewed softly, "Yeah, thanks to Honeytuft and Dapplepaw." Looking over at her side with the poultice covering her wound, the gray tabby she-cat wrinkled her face as she mewed, "Ugh, that's still stinging a bit though." Ivynose lay down next to his friend and murmured, "At least it wasn't as bad as poor Mottledsmoke and Smallwing." Flinching, Rippleheart mewed, "Yeah, I hope they are having a better time in StarClan now..." Ivynose flinched, "Oh, no, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned them..." Rippleheart laughed weakly, only to wince from the pain, "Hah, you furball, I'm not that upset about it!" The gray tabby she-cat's face fell somewhat as she lamented, "But that means I'm stuck in here for a moon while you get to go fight crows and hunt and stuff." Her brown-and-white friend shuddered, "I hope I don't have to fight them again, but I do want to help my Clan in some way..." Rippleheart suggested after a few moments, "Perhaps volunteer yourself as the messenger? You've got fast paws." Blushing at the comment, Ivynose mumbled, "I'm not that fast..." Rippleheart purred, "Go on, Ivynose, go tell Leafstar that you'll go as messenger. Nothing more, nothing less." The brown-and-white tabby tom nodded and murmured gently into the she-cat's ear, "I'll be back, I promise."

(This moon)
Leafstar yowled, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here, underneath the Meeting Ledge, for a Clan meeting!" Wariness prevailed in the air as SeaClan cats slowly filled the clearing; Leafstar could see the tension, the dread in many a cat's eyes. They clearly did not want to fight anymore. Leafstar sighed inwardly. Even he was tired of the battle against the crows. But it had taken lives, and he didn't want them to be in vain. The sandy brown tabby tom swallowed and spoke, "Cats of SeaClan! This past moon, we have been diligently battling the crows, daring them to come out of the forest that serves as their cover. Now many a bird lies dead, and they know that we've grown bolder and more prepared to fight against them." Taking a deep breath, the SeaClan leader continued, "And today, we will end this tiring battle. We will confront the crows one last time. We will settle the score once again, and send them this clear message: 'the Pine Grove belongs to the cats of SeaClan!'" Only a half-hearted cheer came from the crowd, and Leafstar noticed disgruntled looks from a few. Narrowing his eyes slightly at the response, Leafstar meowed, "And so, just a single battle patrol will be picked out." The cats of SeaClan held their breath as they awaited the announcement of who went on the battle patrol as Leafstar swept his gaze across the clan. At last, Leafstar spoke, "Myself, Stormfang, Owlfrost, Antfoot, and Applemist will go. Ivynose will come with us as messenger." Turning to rest his leaf-green gaze on the young warrior, the sandy brown tabby tom saw that the brown-and-white tabby tom had a relieved look on his face. Nodding at the clan, Leafstar declared, "That is all," and leapt down from the ledge, signaling the meeting to be over.

Applemist turned to Antfoot and grumbled, "Why us two?" The black tom shrugged and meowed, sighing, "Perhaps because we've managed to avoid battle patrol til today." Rosefern, who was next to them, offered kindly, "At least it isn't as bad as the first time we sent patrols in there." Shuddering, Antfoot mumbled, "Thanks for reminding me, Rosefern." Applemist glanced at the approaching figure of Stormfang, their deputy, and mouthed, "Stormfang," at Antfoot. Nodding, both ginger she-cat and black tom turned to face the solid gray tom. Stormfang nodded to the two cats, then dipped his head toward Rosefern, and meowed, "Well, you two ready?" Applemist glanced at Antfoot and meowed, "Yes, Stormfang. We're ready." Stormfang nodded and added, "Hopefully this will show them that they are not wanted." Indicating for the two warriors to follow, the solid gray tom stepped out of the cavern that housed their camp. Sighing, Antfoot and Applemist followed after him.

(The Pine Grove)
Leafstar and his cats stood stoically before the Pine Grove, each cats' faces holding an expression that was a mix of both resolute focus and fear. The sandy brown tabby held his tail straight up, indicating for his cats to hold their position. This continued as a swarm of crows came to rest on the branches of the branches closest to the entrance. The SeaClan leader called out, "We have come to talk." A large midnight-feathered male came swooping down on Leafstar, but when he did not show fear, the bird shot back up high into the sky like and arrow, and it perched on the lowest branch of an old stately pine, its small beady eyes narrowed in contemplation. At last the crow spoke, drawing gasps from the five cats of the patrol, save for Leafstar, "Talk? With your fighters?" Leafstar replied, unperturbed by the bird's ability to speak in their tongue, "Aye, Husk. We meant you no harm when we started to rebuild SeaClan. Why do you attack us so?" The crow called Husk cawed to his brethren, at which the entire swarm began to caw raucously. Husk turned back to Leafstar and said, fixing his glittering gaze upon the SeaClan leader, "You? Meant us no harm?" He cawed loudly, like laughter, and continued, "You felines have caused my kind nothing but harm. My ancestors were hunted down by your kind." Leafstar opened his mouth to argue, but Stormfang interrupted with a low growl, "They were IceClan, who came long before our ancestors' SeaClan disbanded!" "Stormfang-" Leafstar warned, at which his gray-furred deputy spat, "Leafstar, we cannot reason with the ones who murdered many a warrior!" Husk chuckled and addressed the solid gray tom, "Ah yes, the one who silently strikes. We have watched you from our perches." He let out a loud caw, at which the swarm replied by exploding into a cacophony of loud caws. Leafstar narrowed his eyes at the comment, but he spat, hackles rising, "You waste our breaths, Husk. Leave our Pine Grove, or we will kill you all!" His Clanmates responded to his threat by unsheathing their claws, their eyes narrowed in concentration. Husk cawed in laughter before letting out one long caw. At once, the sky became black as it filled with the midnight-colored creatures. Leafstar yowled, "SeaClan, attack!"

Claw met talon as Leafstar threw himself into the air, his claws shredding through the wings of a crow. It let out a loud caw in pain as it plummeted to the ground. The sandy brown tabby tom had little time to celebrate as he quickly jumped back into the air to throw one off of Stormfang's back. The solid gray tom paused to thank his leader before throwing himself back into the battle, yowling a bloodcurdling warcry. Leafstar nodded briskly and he, too, jumped back into the thick of the night-colored fiends, his razor-sharp claws and fangs dealing havoc on the birds who dared to threaten his Clan. It wasn't long before the SeaClan leader spied the large shape of Husk, flying over the heads of Applemist and Antfoot. The two former alleycats bared their fangs in defiance and defended themselves against the onslaught of Husk's merciless followers; Leafstar plowed ahead, clawing through the swarm to reach his two warriors. Leafstar yowled a challenge into the air and charged at the crow leader, his sinewy muscles rippling as he pounced.

Husk gave an alarmed caw as Leafstar landed on top of him. The large midnight-feathered crow spat in the language of the cats, "Get off me!" Leafstar hissed, "Let's get you taken care of; let's see what your followers will become!" Husk struggled as he let out a series of caws, presumably a distress call. The SeaClan leader held onto the crow leader for dear life as a swarm of the murderous fiends came at him, their beady little eyes glittering with concentration and their beaks screaming out bloody murder. The sandy brown tabby tom gritted his teeth as crow after crow slashed and pecked away at his sides; he even allowed his pain to lend strength to the grip he held on Husk. Leafstar let out a mighty shout and ran his claws across the bird's throat. Husk screeched in pain as blood gushed out; he choked out, "You will die too, Leafstar! There is one among you who will strike you dead when you least expect it!" Leafstar felt his grip slackening as he felt dizzy; however, the sandy brown tabby tom spat, refusing to back off, even with his vision blurring from the blood loss he was experiencing, "Zip it, Husk, your time in the Pine Grove is over! The forest belongs to SeaClan!" The leader of the crows gave one more cackling caw before his beak went slack and his head lolled to the side, his dark eyes losing the mad light once held within them. Leafstar staggered to his paws and declared, showing the dead Husk's limp body, "Crows! Hear me! Your leader, Husk, is dead!" He glanced back at his warriors, who were slowly emerging from the other parts of the Pine Grove to see what their leader had accomplished, and his heart seemed to swell with pride as he saw all five faces poking out from the thickly-forested area.

The leader of SeaClan then suddenly gave a soft "Oh" as he felt his body crumple to the floor, his vision turning dark as he was forced into a pool of dizzying blackness. The last thing that the sandy brown tabby tom heard before he lost conscious was Stormfang asking worriedly, "Leafstar?"

(Ivynose)
Ivynose stiffened. The crows had seemed to have left them in peace just a moment ago, but he could smell it again. The reek of blood and death did not cover it. The brown-and-white tabby tom yowled, "They're coming again!" just as an angry swarm of midnight-feathered deathbringers descended upon the weary SeaClan cats. Stormfang ordered, taking charge as Leafstar was in no shape to do so, "Ivynose, what are you waiting for? Do your duty as messenger and run back to camp. Request for backup! Tell them Leafstar is in trouble!" Ivynose met the SeaClan deputy's gaze shakily and nodded. The brown and white tabby tom then ran, bolting fast over the feather-covered ground as if he were a rabbit running away from a predator. He did not stop until he was inside the camp. Whiterose and Hollypaw were the first to notice his return; the white she-cat asked sharply, "What happened?" Ivynose panted, "They're coming back! But a last-minute attack from the crows are keeping them bound there. We need backup! I think Leafstar's unconscious from losing a lot of blood," he added as he slowly calmed down. Whiterose needed no second bidding. At the mention of her mate in trouble, the white she-cat leaped onto the Meeting Ledge and yowled, catching the attention of all cats in the vicinity, "Let all cats old enough to catch their prey meet here, under the Meeting Ledge, for a Clan meeting!" Even Shorefall came limping out of the medicine cat's chamber, despite Honeytuft's protests, to see what was happening. Once the cats settled, Ravenwish was heard asking, "What's going on?" Whiterose yowled, "Leafstar's possibly losing his first life, and the rest of the patrol was ambushed by the last group of crows! We must go save them!" At once, five voices came over from the crowd, "I'll go!" Whiterose looked around and spotted the cats who had said they would go, and dipped her head, "Whisperdust, Fernstrike, Oakshadow, Claypool, Goosewing, thank you. I'll join you myself." She leapt back down, and the six cats were gone, paws flying over the cold stone floor as they rushed to aid the battle-worn warriors at the Pine Grove.

(Stormfang and Owlfrost)
Stormfang yowled, "Applemist, Antfoot, hang in there!" The solid gray tom glanced at the limp form of Leafstar as he and Owlfrost both carried their unconscious leader's body toward camp, and addressed the brown tabby tom, "How are you holding up?" The SeaClan warrior glanced at the deputy before replying, "I'm doing all right. Let's let Antfoot and Applemist go ahead and push them back, since I've got things to tell." "Oh?" Stormfang asked; Owlfrost and he eased the sandy brown tabby tom's body down onto the floor as the former meowed, "Stormfang, what Husk said... about you earlier." Stormfang turned on the brown tabby tom, snarling, "You are going to listen to a crow? A dead one at that?" Owlfrost met the gray tom's gaze unflinchingly as he meowed calmly, "I don't believe what he said was right, but he has a point. You seem a little... unstable these days, Stormfang." Growling, the SeaClan deputy asked, "Oh really?" Before the tom could unsheathe his claws, however, the shouts of "Charge!" sounded in both toms' ears. Backing away, Stormfang realized that Ivynose had done his job. Scowling slightly as his chance at silencing an observant cat failed, the SeaClan deputy was forced to leave his spot by Leafstar's body by Whiterose, who came over from their right like a ghost. She growled, "You two, go fight off the crows, I'm going to defend my mate now." Nodding, both solid gray tom and brown tabby tom threw themselves at the crows nearby, spitting and slashing at the flying creatures' vulnerable wings. It wasn't long, however, that even Whiterose was forced to drag her mate's body into the relatively-secluded spot, under a bush, as she too, fought back viciously, fangs bared defiantly.

(Leafstar)
With a groan, Leafstar stirred. Looking around, he found himself in the dim recesses of a cave. Realizing that he was at the Moonpool, the sandy brown tabby tom asked, mostly to himself, "Wh... Why am I here?" A voice came from behind as a pale ginger tom appeared from the dark passage, "Welcome, Leafstar." The SeaClan leader stared at the tom, scarcely believing his eyes. It was as if he were looking at an exact replica of himself. The starry warrior chuckled and meowed, "I am Gorsetail, and you are directly descended from me." Leafstar realized, "Ah. You must have been the loyal warrior who turned to the life of rogue but never forgot the ways of the warrior." Nodding, Gorsetail meowed, "It was the last wishes of my leader, Thornstar, that I turn to the life of a rogue. All hell broke loose when the band of rogues invaded. Everyone died, save for a few, including myself. I never left the vicinity, and my descendants never did either." Smiling at his descendant, the StarClan tom murmured, "You have lost your first life, Leafstar." As the sandy brown tabby tom looked on, the extremely faint shape of a cat stepped into the dim light of the moon reflecting on the Moonpool. Leafstar's claws slid out as he tried to dig them into the cave floor, "I should be back with my Clanmates!" Gorsetail nodded sympathetically, "All in good time, Leafstar. However, your body needs to heal from the wounds inflicted onto you by the crows." Leafstar protested, "My cats are out there fighting-" "And they will all be there after," prompted Gorsetail, as the ginger tom turned his green gaze toward the SeaClan leader, "so be patient." Leafstar huffed, but said nothing more as he tried his best to be patient.

(Some time later)
Leafstar stirred. He looked around and saw that he was back in his chamber, a fresh water-soaked moss placed near his mouth. Sipping from it for some much-needed water to wet his dry lips, the sandy brown tabby tom slowly stood up, finding that his paws did not buckle from under his weight. As he turned back to the entrance, and started walking toward it, he heard a faint whisper of a familiar cat from behind, "Leafstar." Turning around, he saw the faint outline of a brown tabby tom, his fur glowing eerily with the white of starlight. Staring at shock, the SeaClan leader breathed, realizing who it was, "Owlfrost!" The recently fallen warrior murmured, "Leafstar... in the thick of fighting, only Stormfang and I noticed that a group of crows was headed toward where you were hidden, back when you were unconscious. But Stormfang was already wrestling with..." He swallowed and meowed instead, "I'm sorry, Leafstar." "Owlfrost," Leafstar croaked, tears already flowing down his face, "I'm sorry. I should have kept you safe!" The StarClan warrior shook his head and meowed, "No, Leafstar." He then swallowed again, becoming slightly more transparent, "May I ask a favor?" "Anything," Leafstar promised; the brown tabby tom meowed, "My body is still lying there in the clearing, the cats only had strength to carry you away, what with the minor injuries and whatnot that they endured. Can you... can you bring my body back to camp?" The sandy brown tabby tom promised, "I will, Owlfrost. We will honor you with the highest honors. You saved my life. But most importantly, you saved SeaClan." Owlfrost smiled faintly and meowed, "Leafstar, before I go..." The SeaClan leader shook his head and protested, "Don't say that!" Owlfrost smiled again and meowed, "Before I go, I just want to tell you, you were fantastic. Absolutely fantastic." He slowly began fading away as he breathed, "And you know what?" As Leafstar shook his head, tears flowing freely down his cheeks, he continued, "that prophecy of yours... consider it fulfilled. SeaClan will rise higher than ever before." Before Leafstar could comprehend the message, Owlfrost had faded away completely. Leafstar stared at the spot that Honeytuft's brother had been before for a while before he meowed firmly, "Thank you." With this, he headed out of the chamber, only to bump into Stormfang, who seemed relieved to see him. The SeaClan deputy meowed, "Good! You are safe." Leafstar ordered, "Take a few cats with you and bring Owlfrost's body back. He needs a proper burial." Stormfang looked at the sandy brown tabby tom with an unreadable expression before he finally meowed, "How..." The SeaClan leader snapped, "Never mind how, Stormfang. Do as I say." Dipping his head, the solid gray tom turned on his heels and left, calling to Stormbreeze, Emberwhisker, and Fernstrike to follow him. The mentioned warriors followed the tom out quickly, after murmuring words of relief at the sight of their leader standing in front of them.

(Later that night)
Dapplepaw was sure she was dreaming. One moment, she had been chasing a bright blue butterfly in a sunlit meadow when the scene changed completely. The medicine cat apprentice turned around and asked hesitantly, "Hello?" Nothing reached her ears for a few moments, save for the sounds of waves crashing onto stone. She tried again, feeling a little bolder, "Hello? StarClan?" A tom's voice hissed in her ear as the sound of a thunderstorm reached her ears, "Behold, a maelstrom grows within the Clan! Remove its fangs and dispel it, or it will grow so strong that not even the sea will be able to survive it!"

Dapplepaw awoke, sweat trickling down her brow. The calico she-cat looked at the sleeping form of her mentor as she pondered the meaning of the mysterious message. 'Should I wake him?' she wondered, as she continued to watch the rise and fall of Honeytuft's chest. The she-cat then sighed. 'No,' she told herself, 'he just lost his brother... I'll let him rest. Tomorrow,' she promised.

“another apprentice?” mist questioned the air, his tone obviously annoyed. the white-furred tom limped into the nursery, flurrypaw following close behind him. he looked around for the new family, the one with the paralyzed kit. the apprentice beside him seemed ecstatic at the news, but mist wasn’t so eager.

demelza looked to the entrance of the nursery, flicking her long tail. “over here, mist.” she called out. the tom followed the queen’s voice, flurrypaw on his trail as she avoided the other kits. she maneuvered her way around the familiar kittens, mewing a hello to the older litter.

the two cats sat side by side as they looked over demelza’s bustling litter. kittens pawed over each other, trying to nurse. demelza nudged one tortoiseshell closer to her side before looking to mist. “this is freya,” she said. freya was obviously the runt of the litter, not even able to move on her own. “bumbletail says she’s got two paralyzed backlegs. he’s not sure, so we’ll keep an eye on her, but i do believe you should get to know her.”

freya mewled once more for assistance, and demelza nosed her close. flurrypaw’s face seemed to glow with excitement. “i can help her. i should be old enough soon to mentor her!” she chirped, managing to sweep her fluffy tail over her paws. mist looked down at his apprentice, whiskers twitching.

“it’s up to sootstar. you know that. but it’ll be you or me. we’ll see how she does, and if she needs our help, the intermediate’s den is always open.” he informed demelza after chiding his apprentice. demelza simply nodded and thanked them for visiting; in an instant, the nursery was empty and quiet again, mind a kitten’s mewl for milk.

weather: leaf-fall.
during leaf-fall, it will start to get colder, so the amount of prey you will catch will go down. the sun will start going down earlier and earlier and this will continue into leaf-bare. kittings will begin to get a little bit harder so make sure to stock up on kitting herbs like fennel, chervil, ragwort leaves and raspberry leaves. you will also run into foxes and possibly badgers more.

Weather
Leaf-fall- The warm days of Greenleaf have receded and gave way to the cool breeze that always comes at the beginning of Leaf-fall. The sun is beginning to set quicker, and the wind is starting to become chilly. Prey will begin to appear less and less plentiful as the season continues. Please be on the lookout for coughs.

falconstar padded out of the cave to get a drink at the creek before she headed out. she had informed canyoncry of where she was going, just in case something happened. tumbleweed had told her the day before that he was planning to ask canyoncry to be his mate. of course, the aridclan leader had encouraged him, even given him pointers. although she would have liked to be there to see the joy on their faces, falconstar knew that she shouldn't. besides, the fresh-kill pile was in dire need of stocking, so she may as well go hunt. she finished drinking just as she heard the faint murmuring of tumbleweed's voice. falconstar turned and headed for the hunting grounds in the trees near the prarieclan border.

---

tumbleweed sat up in his nest and blinked away the sleep. his eyes fell upon canyoncry, the beautiful she-cat who had joined their clan about a moon ago. the two of them had become quite close over that period of time, yet he wasn't sure whether her feelings for him were just that of a close friend or that of a lover. he stood and made his way over to her. canyoncry looked up from her grooming and met his gaze. "good morning, tumbleweed. falconstar left to go hunting at sunrise, if you're looking for her" she informed him gesturing to the cave entrance with a flick of her tail. "that's alright, I'm not looking for her" he responded. "canyoncry...would you like to take a walk with me?" tumbleweed asked, nearly chocking on the nervousness swelling up inside him. "sure" he smiled at her and they walked out of the cave together. tumbleweed began strolling towards the desert, walking at a leisurely pace. "I've been meaning to ask you something. canyoncry, will you be my mate?" he jumped as the she-cat beside him shrieked. what have I done? he wondered, imagining the worst. "of course I'll be your mate! I've never wanted anything more!" tumbleweed's brown eyes widened in shock and a surprised, yet pleased, purr escaped his throat.

the kit let out a tiny weak hiss as he scrambled backwards further under the bush, staring at her with terrified kitten-blue eyes. his ginger and white pelt was fluffed up, but mudstar didn't miss how thin he was. he couldn't be any more than a moon old. blinking slowly, she let out a quiet purr, settling down with her paws underneath her a short distance away from the bush. "it's okay," she murmured, trying to recall how hazelleaf had calmed swanclaw not too long ago, when the queen had stumbled quite literally into their path, hissing and spitting with claws unsheathed. they'd know exactly how to coax the kit from his hiding place. "i'm not going to hurt you. i promise, little 'un."
the kit didn't move.
"my friend, hazelleaf, they use plants and stuff to help cats who are sick or hurt," she said, trying to remember how her dam had talked to her and her littermates during storms and after nightmares; dulcet tones that had soothed them back to sleep. "there's this plant catnip, or catmint, they can use to cure coughs," she rambled. about the plants hazelleaf had taught her about so far, and how she and they had met, how they had met a new friend a short while ago who'd soon be having kits. slowly, as she babbled, the kit inched his way out from under the bush. he watched her from a long while with curious, tired eyes. she was halfway through telling the story of swanclaw and hazelleaf had argued like littermates over the best nest materials, when he stumbled over to her and curled into her side, purring so quietly she could barely hear him; heart jumping in her chest at how cold the poor little mite was.
"wou-" the words caught her throat and she forced herself to gulp down a breath or two. "would you like to meet them? my friends?" the kit purred a tiny bit louder in response, curling in closer. "okay," she said, deciding it was about as good a yes as she was going to get. "i'm gonna need to carry you, is that okay?" the kit merely shifted another bit closer in lieu of an answer. "okay," she murmured, blinking down at the tiny bundle of fur. "okay."
the walk home seemed excruciatingly long, the kitten far, far too light between her jaws for comfort.
hazelleaf greeted her as she walked into camp with an aborted happy trill when they caught sight of the lump of ginger and white she was carrying, rushing across the camp to meet her with worried eyes. "is that? wherever did you find such a small kit? where's their mother?"
gently, gently, settling the sleeping kit on the grass, she shook her head. "he was all alone. any other cat scent was three days old."
"three days," hazelleaf echoed heavily. they shook their head as they tore their eyes away from him to meet hers. "right. first things first, we need to get him warmed up, swanclaw'll probably take him."
"where is she?"
hazelleaf grimaced. "sleeping."
mudstar swore.

the birthing den was small and warm, and in the haunt swanclaw had claimed for herself, the queen was curled into a ball.
mudstar glanced between the queen and hazelleaf, who had picked up the kit and was staring back at her impassively. the thing they'd learned quickest from swanclaw was absolutely do not disturb a pregnant queen who had issues falling alseep's sleep if you valued your pelt unmarred except in the most dire of emergencies. taking a deep breath, she took a step closer. this counted as a dire emergency, she was sure. "swanclaw?"
a nicked white ear flickered irritably in response. "i got kits using me insides as mossballs," the owner of it hissed. "what do you want?"
"we've got that dire emergency you mentioned."
the stocky white cat unfurled herself, scowling at them with one green eye and one blue eye, before she caught sight of the kitten. "so, that's where you were all night," she mused in her drawl. "hazelleaf was just about to drag me out searching."
"was not," they mumbled around a mouthful of sleeping kitten.
"absolutely were," swanclaw snorted. "here, let me see 'im."
hazelleaf padded further into the den, putting the kitten down by swanclaw's side. the kit didn't wake, sniffling quietly as he tucked himself against the queen's long fur. she purred as she leaned down to lick his head, murmuring too lowly to him for them to hear.
"will you take him, then?" mudstar asked lowly.
swanclaw glowered up at her sleepily. "don't be daft, it's unbecoming. of course i'll take him."
mudstar let out a relieved sigh.
"he got a name?"
"rosekit," she said after a moment.

red sky at night
xxxxThe sun collapsed from the sky, bleeding out as its injuries lead it to fall.
xxxxOr, at least, that was how it looked to Camberfoot.
xxxxHalf the sky was filled crimson with the blood from the sun’s wounds. The sun was truly blessed by Starclan. Goodness knows how many times Camberfoot had seen the sun die – and violently, too – and yet she always rose again in the morning. The sun must have had far more than nine lives. Camberfoot couldn’t help but wonder how.
xxxxHow did the sun earn so many lives? And what beast thought it could keep slaying the sun? Why was it doing that? What did it look like, smell like, sound like?
xxxxWhatever the answers, it was beautiful. Beautiful, yet tragic. To see the source of warmth bleeding out… it was such a beautiful colour too, even if it were morbid to acknowledge that…
xxxx"Pssst!”
xxxxCamberfoot’s eyes snapped down from the sky. Not only had he nearly been about to walk into a boulder, but the patrol was far ahead of him by this point. Bugleclaw had turned and hissed at him once it was clear he wasn’t catching up. Camberfoot curled up a bit on himself, a guilty expression on his face, and just before he bounded to keep up- he caught sight of the other reason his attention was being called for. There, a short way ahead of his father and the other older warriors, was a tabby molly.
xxxxShe was curled up, grooming her front legs, in a sunny break in the shade of the trees, seemingly entirely oblivious to the patrol approaching her.
xxxxMartinwhisker went ahead, by not more than a few strides.
xxxxJust before he opened his mouth to speak, the molly turned her head instead, and spoke in an accent not that different to Moraine’s own. “Hell-o. I thought I smelt clan cats here. I was hoping I’d get to look a bit more presentable before announcing myself, but I suppose that’s just how things go sometimes. If you’ve got decent nests and cute guys my age, I am uuuup for staying here. And I am sure the cute guys would be up for that too-" Did she just wink at him? Camberfoot was sure that was a wink.
xxxxCamberfoot leaned across to his father without thinking, and muttered: “I think she’s a second Merlindash.”
xxxxApparently he spoke louder than he thought he had.
xxxx"She? NOPE! Not today. And I’m Umbrap-…. Umbraheart! Yup, Umbraheart-"
xxxx"What do you mean not today, Umbrapaw?” Shellcloud asked.

-----
xxxxCicelynose couldn’t help thinking she wasn’t the best choice for a hunting patrol. She didn’t like thinking that. She hated admitting there were things she couldn’t do. If there was one thing she knew she couldn’t do at all, couldn’t others argue there were more things that applied to, too? Couldn’t she be stripped of her warrior duties and retired now?
xxxxBut apparently, she wasn’t the only member of the hunting patrol that applied to.
xxxxWhile Cicelynose couldn’t see where the fish were, Vendacethroat couldn’t keep his fidgeting bottom still long enough to let the fish come near him. Cicelynose could tell. While Cicelynose kept splashing her paws into the water, and catching a few shrimps – which she had decided was fine for her to just eat on the spot, it wasn’t like she’d be able to get them back to camp – she kept feeling the patterns of sunlight changing on her side, as he shifted position. She kept hearing Troutclaw snickering from a short way downstream.
xxxxCicelynose’s paws connected with a snail, which she brought up to the service. She twitched her nose, before laying it on the rock in front of her and pushing her weight down on it to snap open the shell. It wasn’t anyweirder than any of the water bugs she’d eaten already.
xxxxThough she could feel the look that Vendacethroat was giving her.
xxxx"What in Silverpelt are you doing, Cicelynose?”
xxxxCicelynose’s ears twitched over to where Vendacethroat’s voice was at that moment.
xxxx"What are you doing? You’re scaring all the fish away, and you actually have a chance of catching something good.”
xxxx"I think there’s more fish further down, and I want to see them. I want to fish where the best fish are, so I can catch them.”
xxxx"Nah, be glad we’re not there. You’d scare them off and the whole clan would go hungry, just because of your fidgeting fat butt and big mouth.”
xxxxVendacethroat made a strange noise, like he was being strangled for a moment, and Cicelynose turned her head towards him in confusion, before she heard the laughter. It wasn’t loud, just a quiet chuckle. “No wonder Heronstar wanted Ploverstripe to accompany you leaving the nursery. You could start a war with a mouse with words like that.”
xxxxCicelynose smiled. “Yup. Would do, too.”
xxxxVendacethroat’s chuckling got louder.
xxxx"I like yo- THAT, THAT I MEANT THAT!” Cicelynose started to laugh too. “I did, okay? I… I – "
xxxx"In the hypothetical situation that I liked you too – which I don’t, you’ve got a fat butt – can you imagine the chaos our kits would cause?”
xxxx"Chaotic kits are the best kits.” Vendacethroat was very glad for her smooth save, and he was sure it showed in his tone.
xxxx"Chaotic kits would almost make up for your fat butt.”
xxxx"I think they’d compliment your silver tongue beautifully.”
xxxxCicelynose snickered. “Surely nothing bad could happen because of them and their chaos.”
xxxxVendacethroat laughed again. “Nothing at all.”

shepherds delight
xxxx"Look, I’m taller than you!” Knawelkit declared, stretching up to her highest height, above Witkit. Witkit stretched too, failing to reach as high as her sister had. Their heads barely grazed the lines of sunlight in the mid autumn light, where they painted a pale yellow on the walls of the nursery.
xxxx"Ha, told you!”
xxxx"You’re only taller by an ant’s height, that doesn’t count!”
xxxxKnawelkit puffed out her cream-coloured chest. “Does too. I’m gonna be a much better warrior. I’m bigger, I’m taller, I’m stronger, and I’m olde-"
xxxx"No you’re not! I’m bigger!” Witkit said, puffing her fur out as far as she could. “And you’re only older by a little tiny bit, that doesn’t count!”
xxxx"Does too!” Knawelkit pressed one paw on her sibling’s head, pushing down to raise herself up higher in turn. “Look at that! I’m gonna be brilliant.”
xxxxWitkit huffed, rolling her eyes. “You can claim you’re bigger if you stop acting like you’re older than me.”
xxxxKnawelkit giggled openly, but not so loudly as to wake any of the queens. She knew none of them would want to be woken so early, and that none of them would approve of her picking on Witkit. “Why would I agree to that? I am older than you, and everyone knows it, and it’s not like you can stop me.”
xxxxWitkit pulled possibly the largest pout that the nursery had seen to date, and Knawelkit’s giggling only grew louder.

-----
xxxx"Oooh, I’ve not been in the nursery yet, what’s that like in there?” Umbrapaw asked Ringpaw, who was serving as his guide around camp.
xxxxHeronstar had seen it as appropriate for another apprentice to show the newcomer around camp; she’d thought it might be easier for Umbrapaw to relate without seemingly having to prove himself (though Ringpaw was somewhat unsure on whether that had worked at all). She’d also thought that it might be easier for Umbrapaw to explain about his pronouns and such with someone his own age, as none of the cats really… were sure they understood. Heronstar and Chubtail – and all the other senior warriors – had confirmed they were happy to use whatever pronouns Umbrapaw was asking but… they changed? Because their gender changed? Most of the younger warriors had been entirely unaware that gender even was a thing – Ringpaw and his siblings included in that – and the explanation had been confusing anyway.
xxxx"I’m not sure the queens will appreciate you going in if they don’t know y-"
xxxxRingpaw’s objection was too late, Umbrapaw had already bounded into the nursery. Ringpaw hurried furiously after.
xxxx"I AM UMBRAPAW THE FABULOUS!”
xxxxKnawelkit giggled. Witkit looked up with a baffled expression on her face. The queens’ expressions ranged from matching Witkit to complete hostility.
xxxx"Umbrapaw!”
xxxxAnd Umbrapaw ignored him entirely. How did he sense this was going to become a trend.
xxxx"Mum, who’s she, and what in S-" Knawelkit began to ask the other queens – having picked up already that her mother was not the right cat to ask when she was confused.
xxxx"Nuh, uh, he, this mortal shell may have you convinced of-" / “Umbrapaw!” / “-me being female, but, alas, not today!” / "Umbrapaw!”
xxxxAn attentive cat might have seen the youngest clan member’s eyes widen just slightly as that was said, but, alas, only one did…

-----
xxxx"Firepath, Merlindash, we had a… proposition.” Sparrowfoot asked the two toms, as they returned from their patrol, coming back to camp.
xxxxLangoustinefang stood by her side, pressed tight into her, and perhaps that should have been enough warning to the two toms about what was coming, but-
xxxx"What sort of proposition..?” Firepath asked hesitantly, bracing himself for whatever insanity Vendacethroat and his sister had somehow dragged Sparrowfoot into. He knew well enough that the mollies were mates by now, but Sparrowfoot was far too – wait.
xxxxHe knew he’d follow Merlindash’s bragging if it came to it now. Which meant… If he were the serious one in their relationship and he knew he’d get dragged into the nonsense when it happened, didn’t it stand to reason that Sparrowfoot would let herself be dragged in, too?
xxxx"We thought… we could have kits for each other? We thought you might want kits, too.”
xxxxLangoustinefang nodded, following up her mate’s words. “I asked Heronstar already, and she said it’d be fine for Moraine to fill in the last few moons of Ringpaw’s training. She thought Moraine should get some opportunity to do training without having to feel responsible for everything, and so you don’t have to worry about that.”
xxxxMerlindash looked across at his mate. “The one thing I’d expect you to be better at than me, other than being handsome, of course, is being a dad.”
xxxxFirepath pulled a sceptical look at his mate. “I’m up for it, if you’re sure you can stand to be worse than someone else at something.”
xxxx"It’s only one thing out of goodness knows how many.” Merlindash smiled, before Firepath rubbed hard into his side.
xxxx"You two are sickening. You’d better not set that example to the kits.”

red sky at morning
xxxxPearstone wished his mate could be out to see today properly, but she couldn’t. Her kits were due any day now, and Harrierpelt made it very clear that she shouldn’t be walking anywhere where she couldn’t return to the nursery at very short notice, should she need to.
xxxxAt second best, he’d wished that he could stay in camp with his mate. Heronstar had told him clans still need to collect food, and that he was an experienced warrior. That if he went early enough to hunt (as he had) then they wouldn’t face any issues returning in time.
xxxxSo her he was, leading his hunting patrol down to the stream on the far eastern border, next to Lambclan’s territory. Luckily, he’d opted for a section of stream far from where Myrtleclaw had last been sighted, but that was largely a happy coincidence.
xxxxAs the patrol hunted their fish, Pearstone happened to look up to the Eastern horizon. He could see the first rays of the sunlight over the more distant hills, a tiny golden corona over pure black, the sky painted with broad swashes of orange and red, with a dusting of thin wispy clouds in perfect parallel lines above.
xxxxIt was gorgeous.
xxxxPearstone had always preferred sunrise to sunset, and this was precisely why.
xxxxIt was beautiful.
xxxxHe just wished that Moraine could see it.
xxxxBut then – maybe she could? If she had woken early herself, what would stop her finding a spot where she could look out from camp to the painted sky? He hoped so. To miss out on it, and the crisp wind it brought from the west would be a grave pity.

shepherds’ warning
xxxxAs much as Zinniapaw didn’t want to admit it, she was still jealous of her brother. The best case scenario for her dream was that the clan expanded enormously soon, and that Heronstar demanded another medicine cat then, and picked her. But so much could go wrong!
xxxxZinniapaw lay curled up in her nest in the warriors’ den, where she’d taken to spending a lot of her spare time, not wanting to face her other siblings and her failure. Starclan, she was useless. Why did she even stay here? They all knew she was a failure.
xxxxThe one thing she’d wanted to do since she was old enough to understand, and the one cat who could have allowed her to do it… she’d been rejected from what was most meaningful to her, and there was no way to get that back. She’d done everything she was aware she could to give herself a better chance.
xxxxAnd she could feel it in her siblings’ eyes. That pity.
xxxxThey knew! They knew she was worthless, that she didn’t deserve to even – to even stay there! They knew she’d forever be behind them as a warrior and less skilled than them. They knew all the effort of her kithood was useless and had been set aside for a fate she didn’t want.
xxxxZinniapaw buried her head in the nesting, shaking through heavy breathing against it.
xxxxShe didn’t notice the sound of pawsteps. The first she knew of their owner, was the comforting weight of their head against her shoulder, and it was hard to resist leaning back into that, and into the comforting words she was sure would come next.

-----
xxxxThunder crashed outside the old two leg nest, and Moraine lay still in her nest, head lolled back, with three other queens around her, as well as Harrierpelt and Teaselpaw close by.
xxxxThe Thunder was not improving her nerves about what was coming.

[Hopefully I do this right!]

The cats of Dawnclan live on a large moor with streaked with rivers. The camp is settled deep within a patch of gorse and rambled. The north border is protected by a marshy swamp which can provide frogs. To the eastern border is a dense forest that provides birds and squirrels. The West is protected by cold mountains that provide no prey. The South is claimed by a large and lazy river. This river provides fish anytime but Leaf-bare when it freezes.

Cats belonging to Dawnclan tend to be small and quick, using their long legs to propel them across the moor and through rivers. Their waxy fur and layer of fat from fish allows them to swim the cold rivers without freezing. They are usually a calm bunch of cats but will not hesitate to claw and bite their way to victory if they ever need to. They are always willing to let another join their clan.

Dawnclan cats are trained in swimming, hunting, climbing, fighting, and running. Each are important for different reasons. Swimming is to be able to travel the territory, though there are alternative ways to get over. Hunting and fighting are needed to help the clan grow and survive. Climbing is used to scout ahead for enemies and prey. Running is needed to travel the territory quickly and efficiently.

Aurorastar leaps up the rock face towards the Moonstone. Pausing outside, she sends a prayer to Starclan to grant her a worthy deputy to help lead her forming clan. With a sharp breath, she turns and walks into the tunnel. She lays beside the Moonstone and presses her nose to the cold stone, drifting into a deep slumber.

as the weather starts to cool down, prey begins to return to aridclan territory. patrols can be sent out during the day instead of at sunrise and sundown. the risk of being bitten by a snake goes down, but coyotes return to the area and birds of prey are constantly circling, looking to fill their bellies. shrubs are slowly beginning to look greener and less dead.

Number of Cats: 3
Kitting Count Down: 2nd post after this

falconstar sat down and waited for tumbleweed to finish saying goodbye to his mate, canyoncry. the two of them were going out on a border patrol and due to canyoncry expecting kits in two moons, falconstar was adamant that she should not leave the cave unless it was to get a drink of water from the creek. to be honest, she had expected starclan to send her a cat that could serve as a medicine cat by now. however, starclan's decisions were not her business. she was sure they'd send her a healer when one was needed. falconstar stood as tumbleweed approached. "we'll patrol the northern border, make sure prarieclan hasn't been trespassing, then hunt on the way home" she told him. "alright, let's go" flaconstar grinned at her deputy and pelted towards the northern border. after four moons in this place, her paws had grown used the hard surface of the earth and her pads no longer tore when she climbed up boulders or rocks with jagged surfaces. falconstar reached the border first, tumbleweed hot on her heels. "you. are. way. too. fast" he panted as he sat down beside her to catch his breath. "no. you just need to get your butt out of camp more" she retorted good-naturedly. she paused to sent the air. she couldn't smell any noticeably fresh prarieclan scents, and none whatsoever on their side of the border. "everything seems peaceful enough. how about you go hunt and I'll check the border" tumbleweed nodded his response and disappeared behind a scraggly shrub. falconstar began padding east, her mouth open to scent the air.

--

canyoncry watched as tumbleweed followed falconstar out of the den. she could not help but worry about the kits inside her swollen belly. she had never gone through a kitting before, and falconstar had only witnessed them. she was petrified of losing them, and she knew that tumbleweed was even more petrified of losing her. canyoncry stood and wandered over to the little creek to lap the surface of the water. she was nearly finished when she heard an eagle's cry. she looked up and spotted it circling her. the pretty she-cat's eyes widened in horror and it took her precious seconds to remember how to move her legs. she darted for the cave, feeling the tips of the eagle's talons brush the bushed up fur on her tail just as she skidded inside. canyoncry breathed a sigh of relief. she couldn't wait until she gave birth to these kits so she could stop worrying about their lives.

"Huzzah!" Birdstar yelled. "See what did I tell ya? Second time's the charm."
"Yeah..." Dustbreeze said.
"Good work out there. I knew you had it in you," Whitecoal said.
"Thanks. I'm going to find my friends now," he mewed.
"Of course. See ya later!" Birdstar squeaked. Dustbreeze padded away. Once he was out of sight, Birdstar lowed her voice. "Thanks for that, Whitecoal. Sometimes all it takes is a push in the right direction."
"Right. No worries though. I'm always happy to help," he replied. The two nodded and then separated ways. Birdstar made a mental note about his willingness to help. He may come in handy for some small tasks around the clan. Nothing major, of course but an extra set of paws is always handy.

~~~~~~~~~
Dustbreeze was unable to find Greypatch or Blossomberry anywhere. He wanted to talk since last time but they were no where to be seen. He walked over to the first cat he saw.
"Hey Emberstorm, have you seen Greypatch or Blossomberry?" he asked.
"Ah, sorry no. But I did hear that they went hunting with Bramblestep and Dapplecloud," she said.
"Ah, fox dung..." he spat.
"Did you need them?" she asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"Not really. I just wanted to talk. Ever since Blossomberry became a warrior they have been leaving me behind..." he growled. Emberstorm nodded as he spoke. Then she mysteriously smiled.
"Hey, Dustbreeze have you ever thought of joining an alliance?"
"An alliance? What's that?" he said, tilting his head.
"It's just a little thing I'm starting. It is a small group of cats willing to do anything for the good of the clan. I don't have many members yet though," she said.
"I don't know... Sounds fishy..." he shrugged.
"Why don't you think about it? Come tell me once you made your decision," she nodded and smiled. Dustbreeze nervously nodded. Emberstorm then padded off to find Bumblestream. She was asleep and once she woke, Emberstorm leaned in close.
"We may have another member amongst us..."
"A member? Ah, right..." Bumblestream replied before yawning.
