"We need to get you to camp quickly, hurry!" She and Emberstar helped the queen into the nursery where the exhausted she-cat lay down, breathing heavily, and Willowcloud began frantically running from her medicine store to the nursery.
"She's certainly excited about this," Frostpaw remarked to her mentor. Ashenclaw nodded. "It'll be nice to have some kits around." He smiled, wondering what they would look like.
[ The Clan consumes a robin, using three servings
Honeydapple is kitting
Emberstar and Webfang go hunting
Ashenclaw, Patchthorn, and Frostpaw go on border patrol ]
Frostpaw whimpered loudly when she heard Honeydapple's pained shriek come from the nursery, pressing her paws over her ears to try and block out the sound. Ashenclaw padded over to his apprentice, resting his tail across her shoulders and licking her between her ears. "Honeydapple will be fine... She's strong."
Honeydapple gave birth to three kits
While hunting, Emberstar and Webfang caught a robin
The patrol caught scent of a young rogue ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
forgetful. wrote:hearing the news that echoclan would be attacked by streamclan, bristleclaw rallied up three other cats - crowfall, cloudwatcher, and snowmouse - to join him in helping out their ally. chestnutstar had seemed rather disappointed that she could no join in on the fight, but she had to care for the new litter of kittens. palenose stayed behind to gather more herbs and keep watch over chestnutstar and the kits while hawkeye and frecklepaw patrolled the borders and kept an eye out for anything. secretly, blossompaw was a little upset that they had to postpone her ceremony due to the attack, but she promised to keep an eye on chestnustar. besides, the kittens were absolutely adorable! she would enjoy watching over them whenever chestnutstar needed a short break.
the four felines from obsidianclan arrived when streamclan made their attack on echoclan. the deputy and warriors ran in to aid their ally in fending off the enemy. in the end, echoclan and obsidianclan had the victory, and streamclan was retreating. releasing one last hiss, bristleclaw looked at the warriors from obsidianclan to see if everyone was okay. after he checked up on them, he went to squirrelstar to speak with her about the fight. cloudwatcher found herself standing near a tom from echoclan, blazefur. "have you and streamclan been enemies for a while?"
hawkeye and frecklepaw patrolled the borders together. they were patrolling near the east border where the territory met with swiftclan's border. while they were walking, he wandered a bit away from the tom to see if he could spot sweetpaw. it had been several moons since they last saw each other, and he was curious to see how she was doing.
after everyone had returned from the attack, they held a ceremony for blossompaw. she had been waiting for this all day![/list]

Blazefur looked over at Cloudwatcher, panting heavily. "Ripplestar and Squirrelstar have never got along but Squirrelstar hasn't done anything to provoke them like this." The ginger warrior mewed. He looked over when he heard a squeal, stiffening when he saw tiny Hurricanekit peering out of the nursery, looking for his mother. Blazefur looked over to see Smokespeck leading the kit's mother, Mossvine, into the medicine cat den, droplets of blood dripping around her. The Echoclan tom growled slightly, furious that Streamclan would stoop so low as to attack a queen.
"I'm Blazefur by the way."
Squirrelstar shook blood from her flank, turning to Bristleclaw when she noticed him coming towards her. "Thank you for coming to help." She mewed, bowing her head in respect. "Echoclan is in Obsidianclan's debt, anytime you need us we will be there to help you."
Echoclan is grateful for the help!
Chestnutstar ducked out of the nursery, shooing her litter back inside before making her way across the clearing to take her spot on the gathering ledge above her den, calling a meeting. "I, Chestnutstar, leader of Obsidianclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in turn. Blossompaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Blossompaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Blossomstep. Starclan honors your kindness and speed and we welcome you as a full warrior of Obsidianclan."
"Blossomstep! Blossomstep! Blossomstep!"
Blossompaw is now a warrior

"hey rainkit!" the she-cat exclaimed in a cheerful tone. the siamese cat was just as old as rainkit, but somehow was allowed to be an apprentice. nevertheless, the she-cat was nice to have around. "hey." the striped tom said flatly. "i heard your apprentice ceremony was today." rainkit jumped to his feet, excitement suddenly filling his eyes. "really?!" frostpaw let out a chuckle and nodded. unable to contain his excitement, the striped kit turned and blurted the news to his sister, who became just as happy as he was. mistbreeze watched her kits from the back of the nursery, a sad smile on her face. seeing his mother's expression, rainkit quickly calmed down and slowly walked towards his mother. "you're both growing up so fast..." the queen whispered. the kit cuddled up next to miztbreeze, muzzling the queen's neck. "no matter was happens mom, we're always going to love you." badgerkit nuzzled her mother as well before adding, "forever."

Peachycupcake525 wrote:My clan is called Flowerclan. They live in a meadow with many flowers and tall grasses, some taller than the cats themselves! You will often find butterflies fluttering around, a favorite of kits. A stream winds through the meadow down the middle, making it mandatory to cross to get to much of the territory. There are few trees, but you may find short ones by the river. The ground throughout the meadow can be slightly damp after a rain, but it is most damp by the river. The river is too wide for most cats to jump over, so apprentices are taught to swim. Most of the prey they eat lives on land, but when food is scarce they will fish in the stream. The cats of Flowerclan are often quiet when with other clans, preferring to listen. They are taught to be very careful when they do talk, so that they don't give away the secrets of their clan. They are wary of other clans, and unlikely to accept a request of alliance. When with their own clan, they are friendly and will often be seen talking and laughing together, though don't often help each other with their tasks unless they were specifically told to. Flowerclan values independence and perseverance above all else, and most of the cats know not to ask for help when doing simple tasks, because they will likely not get it. The cats in this clan are loyal to the death, and would jump in front of another member to take the blow whenever they could. Loyalty and how to act when with other clans is taught first, before fighting skills or hunting skills. A new apprentice is often inept when fighting, and so they are encouraged to watch the older members when they practice to pick up a bit.

I'm Thrushflight."Shinestar chuckled and dipped her head in greeting. "I am Shinestar, leader of Solarclan. This is my deputy, Cloudswift. My medicine cat, Leafrush, is currently out collecting herbs." Thrushflight looked slightly overwhelmed with the barrage of information, but eagerly accepted Shinestar's invitation into Solarclan. "Now, I want you to continue the patrol with Cloudswift while I go to the Moonpool. Cloudswift, inform Leafrush of my going to the Moonpool when you return to camp." Cloudswift nodded and watched Shinestar pad away with an almost longing expression on his face. "You've got it bad for her, don't you?" Thrushflight snickered at Cloudswift, who instantly began to sputter and blush a bright red. "I-I do not!! Wh-what are you even talking about?! I, I am completely fine!" Thrushflight merely gave a knowing look to Cloudswift, who grumbled, and continued on with the patrol.

"And.. that should do it!" Leafrush set the catmint and horsetail down in her den, and pushed them into a little alcove near the back. She scanned the rest of the den, being bare, and decided to go out and forage for more. "Wouldn't hurt anyone if I got more herbs." She muttered to herself, and padded back into the forest to find more herbs.

Shinestar walked into the cave containing the Moonpool, and sat down at its edge. She gazed at the calm and star-flecked waters. She closed her eyes, and murmured a prayer to Starclan. "Starclan, please send our clan an apprentice, so that our clan may grow and thrive as it pleases." Shinestar felt herself drifting off, and let the cool embrace of sleep sweep her away.
[Shinestar;; Moonpool (requesting apprentice), Cloudswift, Thrushflight;; Hunting Patrol, Leafrush;; Herb hunting]
"Hey, hey, hey..." Shinestar mewed soothingly, trying to calm the young cat. The young kittypet hissed, swiping out at Shinestar. Shinestar's gaze dropped down to the kittypet's leg that was caught firmly in a metal bear trap. "Don't move, you'll make it worse."
Shinestar turned, picking up a large stick and returning to the kittypet, wedging the stick inside the metal teeth. "When I pull it open, take your leg out quick." She mewed, tensing before pushing with the stick. The kittypet jerked its hind leg out of the trap, scampering away quickly and licking the blood off of its leg.
"Let's get you back to camp so my medicine cat can look at your leg."
Starclan has sent you an injured apprentice. You will need cobwebs and horsetail
