"houndscar." the to-be shivered as his name was called, delight radiating off of him. the new suffix was like the feeling of consuming a bundle of travelling herbs, being able to feel the strength in your bones, giving you the ability to keep on moving. houndscar turned, awaiting his ninth life. before him was quite a beautiful she-cat, muscles under her black coat rippling.
“stonestar,” houndscar breathed, taking a step back. stonestar was his former mate and best friend. she was perhaps the sole reason houndscar left blueclan. he couldn’t bear to live there after she died. the she-cat watched him, pain, remorse, and hope shining in her sharp grey eyes.
“with this life, i give you the power to see what is right. use it to start your new clan, and be able to predict what features your choices will give you. use it well.” this life was the only one that felt even remotely present. it mirrored the feeling of standing in a peaceful meadow, the small breeze curling around your paws. houndstar watched in silence as she faded away. he was on his own now.
the newfound leader turned to leave, when a small voice besides him spoke up.
"excuse me, sir, but i think that you're forgetting something." houndstar whipped around to see a charcoal grey she-cat, who couldn't be older than six moons old. houndstar looked at her curiously.
"who might you be?"
the molly smiled. "my name is sootpaw, sir. i was sent by starclan to join your clan."
houndstar blinked. "do you, by any chance, want to work with herbs?" the molly shook her head.
"no, sir. i want to be a warrior!" houndscar rolled his eyes, and turned to the glimmering stone where he had communicated with starclan.
"guess we're going to have to ask for this thing, then."

it had been a blessing that pearlstone was sent to the clan when she was. due to maplestar's complications during kitting, she both lost a life and was unable to, at the moment, be a good leader and do everything a leader should be able to do. when maplestar had passed, starclan came to her and told her what had happened, that kitting complications were common in her family tree and that she wouldn't be able to lead the clan for some months. they offered to send her a deputy who could help with the clan, so maplestar could rest and are for her kits. toadstool and reedsong had found pearlstone and brought her back to camp at the perfect time. luckily for them, pearlstone was trained as a medicine cat in her previous clan and helped maplestar come back. this act immediately proved pearlstone was meant to be in autumnclan.

maplestar, rowanclaw, oakkit, honeykit & leafkit
maplestar rested in her nest, head on her paws, watching her three kits. she was still exhausted, no matter how much sleep she got. mudslide was checking up on her daily to make sure she was alright, it was a bit annoying to her. however, she understood their concern. she had lost a life. she was their leader, they were all so close. "maple.." rowanclaw's voice came from outside the nursery. maplestar raised her head slowly and smiled up at her mate, who was approaching her with a thrush in his jaws. "I thought we could share a thrush for breakfast." rowanclaw purred after setting down the bird. he sat next to her and gave her a quick nuzzle, "how are you feeling today?" he asked, looking at her with concerned eyes. maplestar gave him another smile "I'm doing good love. just a little tired." she responded, nudging him softly with her nose. rowanclaw simply nodded before looking at the three kits wobbling around the nursery and braking into a big grin. "would you look at them, already wanting to go explore." he said with a small laugh. maplestar looked up at him again, she was immediately felt warm, happy, seeing how much rowanclaw adored their kits. "oh yes, they're curious about absolutely everything... I'm surprised they aren't over here poking at this thrush." she laughed. she looked at oakkit, the biggest of the three kits. she had named him after oakstar, leader of her old clan, for he reminded maplestar of the older tom. she then looked at honeykit, following close behind oakstar. she was named after rowanclaw's deceased sister, who had also been one of maplestar's closest friends, it was insane how much the two looked alike. then there was leafkit, named after leafclan. rowanclaw and maplestar had both agreed it was a good name. the leader closed her eyes, imagining how much the three would accomplish as they grew up.
snowshoe and reedsong
"it's.. really a beautiful day." reedsong said, clearing his throat and glancing at snowshoe. the two had been patrolling in silence for quite a while. things had become different between them after maplestar lost her life, it had for some reason beyond reedsong's knowledge, greatly affected snowshoe. the young warrior just nodded softly, saying nothing, not even looking at him. reedsong shook his head and stopped walking "snow.. when are you going to talk to me again?" he asked, clearly frustrated, "you haven't talked to me in a moon, or at least not complete sentences. I've been trying to have conversations with you. I-I thought.. just.. why wont you talk to me?" reedsong asked, his tone changing from frustrated to hurt. snowshoe stopped walking and turned her head away from him looking at the ground, saying nothing. "I thought we had something.. but if we did why would you just.. just stop?" reedspng continued softly, ears flattened against his head. snowshoe's eyes began to fill with tears and she sniffed quietly. she said nothing for a few moments, just shook her head as if she was having a conversation with herself in her head. when she turned to face him, her blue eyes were filled with tears. "after.. after maplestar lost one of her lives when she had the kits.. it-it scared me." she began, her voice shaky and quiet, "she had explained t-that it ran in her family, and it was common." she paused sitting down and looking at her paws. reedsong tilted his head, confused "what does that have to do with us? not to sound insensitive, I just don't understand." snowshoe sighed, wiping a tear away with her paw "it matters because.. because.." her voice was small and mouse like, reedsong could hear that she was going to begin crying and took a step closer, only for snowshoe to back away. "my mother died giving birth to me and my siblings. it made me think, what if that runs in my family too? what-what if.." she began to cry, her body shaking. reedsong quickly went over to her, nuzzling her and trying to comfort her. "you don't know that.. what if that was just.. just a crazy situation." thoughts raced through his head as he tried to comfort her. snowshoe backed up again, sniffing "but what if it's not.. reedsong, I.." she paused, looking into the toms eyes, "I've never felt the way I do for you, then I have for anyone else in this world." she sniffed, "and I want only the best for you.. but what if that happens to me? what if I cant.. what if I cant have a family? or kits? what do I have to offer." she continued, a few more tears sliding down her face. reedsong was quiet for a moment before wrapping his tail around her and nuzzling her once again. "snowshoe, you're the most amazing cat I have met in my entire life. you're clever, hilarious, bold, ambitious, beautiful.. inside and out.. you have everything to offer. I love you. no matter what.." he purred. the two sat together talking for a while, forgetting about the need to patrol the border.

Nova-Moshi wrote:My Clans name shall be Glacierclan! They inhabit a Taiga biome a little ways away from any human civilization. The area is surrounded by many birches and the occasional widow. A large river crosses though the western chunk of their territory, leading into a lake that meets the more frozen areas. Deeper inside the cave in is an open area where the cats can pad about to stay out of the cold. Kits are only let outside when they are proven to handle the temperature. The camp is located in a steep rock wall that caves inwards, several holes eroded away to make suitable resting places, with an abandoned badger nest nearby. The season of Leafbare is nearly all year around and very cold, Greenleaf is much shorter, and does little to relieve of most of the cold weather.
The cats themselves have grown to adapt to the cold all year round that goes on with their daily lives, and have evolved to have thicker coats of fur and bigger paws to pad around when the snow gets really deep. These cats prefer to keep to themselves, although they are also very curious. Their stamina is also very high, since hunting sometimes involves going far distances away from camp to chase down and find food.
The main prey they hunt is fish and birds, although voles and rabbits along with some beavers make their way into the diet of these cats. It's also a common practice in the Greenleaf to follow bears when they go hunting to pick up any leftovers they may have had from hunting moose. Only the senior warriors can do this job, since it's very dangerous to follow a bear when it's hungry.
It is also a practice to teach all apprentices to be able to climb trees and swim, as it is crucial for everyone to know the best ways to find prey before everything starts to hibernate in the harsh Leafbare.
Lastly, Glacierclan sometimes does hibernate if the winters are worse than usual- meaning they stock up for food in Greenleaf and only send out very few warriors if the season is against them. The Queens and Elders sleep as much as possible, and the kits along with them unless for training lessons in the early mornings. The cats are not very active after sunset since they would only have each other for warmth after then.
Chamrosh wrote:"Constant vigilance!” came a booming voice as the warriors continued their patrol. Martinwhisker was about ready to burst out of his skin (of course Merlindash didn’t react so poorly).xxxxBoulderdash wearily groomed the five new kits.
xxxxBugleclaw whipped around, thick long fur swinging off his muscular frame. Of course, the only cat in the clan who came close to rivalling him was Merlindash, but for the sake of Bugleclaw’s dignity, Merlindash had never challenged him to a fight. The dark tom bunched up, puffing himself out to look as intimidating as possible, and with his full range of ferocious facial expressions, that wasn’t hard. Merlindash imitated. Martinwhisker didn’t, he hadn’t the patience for shows of might.
xxxx"You weren’t even looking for me! If I were a hostile human you would all be dead! If I were a badger dead! Hawks would not give you warning, they would be down and picking off the tastiest of you in an instant! Eagles – though rare – are even faster, you would not have time to register what was happening before your neck was severed! Constant vigilance. Threats do not simply announce themselves.”
xxxx"Except you, clearly. Or are you not a threat?” Martinwhisker asked. His calm tone came as a surprise to the other two warriors.
xxxxThere was a quick, high pitched bark of laughter, and suddenly a dark-grey cat emerged from the undergrowth.
xxxx"Depends.” The grey cat said, before his body was even full visible, which was about the least reassuring thing he could have. Scars were visible on various areas of his body, and it was obvious from the uneven weighting upon his feet that he’d faced various injuries in his past. He flicked his tail gently, holding it high up in the air.
xxxx"It’s in my interests to not allow you clan cats to all die off. I’d rather appreciate being able to have a talk with your leader about your shocking and disgusting negligence to the vigilance!” (the three Gustclan toms flinched, but the grey tom didn’t even pause) “that could just have easily led you to meet me as a badger. If you had met one of them, instead of me, the calm you had would have been wiped off a lot more forcefully then.”
xxxxMartinwhisker recoiled a half-step from where he’d been standing.
xxxx"Or alternatively, you can keep up the pathetic representation of warriors you are, and I can see the look on your lack of faces next time you meet something unexpected.” Judging by his tone, the tom knew he’d find it interesting to see from past experience.
xxxxMartinwhisker looked sideways at Bugleclaw. The black tom had somehow ended up in charge of the patrol unofficially.
xxxx"Merlindash, run back to camp. Tell whoever’s on guard where we are, and for as many warriors as possible to come here to keep an eye on him-"
xxxx"-without leaving camp undefended, of course.” Martinwhisker interjected.
xxxx"Find Heronstar.” Bugleclaw continued. “Bring her here. Whatever he has to say, we can hear him here.”
xxxxMerlindash kept his gaze fixed on the dark grey loner, fury and fear mixing in his expression. The grey cat gazed back, amused, clearly not showing if he thought the advice an over-reaction or not, but certainly showing the humour he found in the situation.
xxxx"Go!” And Merlindash did.
[center]-----
xxxxBoulderdash was a wild cat, she knew nothing of genetics. But still… she couldn’t help but be concerned about her kits. About them showing their father. Two of them were far too darkly furred to be Myrtleclaw’s, she was sure.-----xxxxHeronstar turned to face the other Gustclan warriors, twisting her head owl-like.
xxxx"I want to talk to him privately.” She said, firmly. The leader’s word was law; so sayeth the code. The warriors stepped back. Heronstar’s gaze fiercened. They collected to one side of where the patrol had met the grey cat, just outside of earshot. Every set of eyes focused on their leader, waiting to spring into action if the stranger did so first.
xxxxIf Merlindash had willingly admitted his fear… this cat had to have something to back that up.-----xxxx"I’ve come to agree with you over these many long moons in some ways.” Came a low voice, in the depth of dreams. The words slid in some way between each other, so that it felt whole sentences could have been lost between each word. The dripping malice and shaking rage in the voice didn’t help. It was obvious to a conscious mind that those words had to be directed elsewhere, but in slumber such reasoning is difficult. “Honour’s a luxury we can’t all afford.”
xxxxThere was nothing to see, but suddenly there was something hitting Heronstar’s coat, and a terrible pain, and then she woke up, breathing hard, the bedding she slept in thrown wildly around her.-----xxxx"I’m not inclined to trust you, which I’m sure you’ll understand.” The dark grey tom nodded after Heronstar’s comment. “But I’m prepared to allow you to live here for a few moons until you’ve proven yourself trustworthy or you’re done here. What’s your name?”
xxxx"Clarystorm.” The dark tom answered almost instantly.
xxxx"-storm? I’d have thought you’d be a –claw, from how you spoke to my patrol.”
xxxx"I could, but I’d rather strangers not anticipate exactly what I could do.”
xxxxIf he really was serious about the importance of vigilance, it made sense for him to abuse a stranger’s lack of it. Heronstar nodded slowly.-----xxxxBoulderdash was woken in the middle of the night by a constant motion hitting her square in the chest. She tried to fidget away from whatever was beneath her, taking her kits with her, but the hitting just followed her. She buried her nose in the soft pile of tiny bodies she was curled around, to find the youngest, the dark grey kit, kicking his rear leg in a nearly-even rhythm, his toes catching her chest at each motion.
xxxxReturning to sleep was impossible with that going on, partially due to discomfort physically, and partially due to her concern of what her tiny kit might be dreaming already that would lead him to lash out physically. Boulderdash watched intently, waiting for it to stop, and when it did, she felt like two pains against her heart had been removed. She licked her smallest kit thoroughly, placed her head back down and quickly fell asleep again.
xxxxNaming Elmkit after she had died had been genuinely painful. Boulderdash was following Argusheart’s example now, even though it annoyed the other cats no-end. “Don’t you care about them? Don’t they deserve names?” “You named the others within a day.”
xxxxBut they’d had so few deaths so far! Misfortune had to be just around the corner (especially with the freak storm last moon, that had to mean something), and Argusheart’s thinking of not putting yourself through more grief than necessary was making a lot more sense to her now. Giving up a nameless bundle was probably easier than giving up your child.-----xxxxNearly a moon after turning up, Clarystorm was somewhat pleased that he still wasn't entirely being trusted. It meant they'd taken what he'd said seriously. Meanwhile, the five new kits that Boulderdash had born (now named) had been well welcomed by everyone the queen trusted already; especially by Nettleflower, who had outright refused to talk to Clarystorm (or that was how he read it anyway; no one else seemed to think it unusual for her).[Clarystorm joins Gustclan]

Simonpet wrote:No one ever knew how the fire started. In later generations, some would suspect that it was Starclan's way of testing Honeystar or warning her that a fire would be started among her clanmates, one that would threaten to consume them if she didn't stop it in time. But at the time, all the clan knew was panic. The morning had started normally. Crowcloud and Dippercloud were talking about how long cats could live and what ways they could come up with to extend one's life. It was a miracle, really, that Dippercloud was so old. Birchnose was in the camp, calling out cats to go on the daily patrols. There was the morning, day, and evening patrols, all of which were important. Night patrols were less important to the clan, as they tended to be diurnal with only cats like Briarwhisker and Daisywhisker regularly going out in the darkness. Badgerpaw and Fritillarypaw were out training, while Honeystar and Aspentail were supervising Scorchpaw's assessments. This meant that most of the clan was outside the camp when the first spark appeared.
"Do you smell anything?" asked Birchnose, looking at Duckpelt who lay next to her.
Duckpelt sniffed the air and shook her head. "No," she replied. "Unless..." She relaxed. "It's nothing," she said in response to Birchnose's querying look.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
***
"Fire! Fire!" shrieked Dustleaf, as she heaved her way out of the medicine cats' den. Flames blazed behind her and a spark floated in front of her, setting the foliage ablaze. Within moments, the camp burned. The Speaker's Tree was spared, but much of the rest was not. The elders' den was particularly vulnerable, and yowls could be heard from within. As Duckpelt helped Birchnose evacuate the camp, Dippercloud stumbled out of the den.
"He's still in there," she rasped. "The tom's still there!"
Not Crowcloud, thought Duckpelt, horrified. Out loud, she called to Dandeliontail. "Help Crowcloud! He's in the elders' den!" But Dandeliontail made no effort to help and looking back, the molly could see why. The log that had served to shelter Dippercloud, and Bramblebush and Grayfur before her, was burning white-hot. If Crowcloud hadn't escaped the log before, he would never have a chance now.
"Crowcloud?" murmured Dustleaf, paw raised in the air and head turned back. Her eyes widened as she realized the implications. "No!" she shrieked, frozen to the spot.
"Dustleaf, c'mon!" yowled Boulderpelt, bowling into her sister. "Go, go, go!" The two barely made it out of the camp alive, and by the time they reached the safety of the river, along with most of the cats that had stayed back that day, Boulderpelt was coughing.
"Is Kestrelclaw alright?" asked Dustleaf quietly, looking around. She jumped as she felt someone brush up against her but relaxed when she saw Kestrelclaw. "How's the paw?"
"Medicine cat first and foremost," murmured Kestrelclaw. "Mother and sister to the whole clan. Helper of--"
"You're rambling," said Dustleaf sharply. While she was secretly pleased that Kestrelclaw had been able to make it out, she had a sinking feeling as to the fate of her clanmates. While Egretstep was normally easy to spot, the hairless tom was nowhere to be seen. And surely Fleckstorm would have come to check on her kits? It was all too much for Dustleaf. The loss of three clanmates and her mentor in one day. She shook her head. "Starclan," she murmured, "take care of them for me." A slight breeze passed and she swore that it felt...amused. Yes, that was the word. She smiled. Perhaps Starclan was listening to her after all.
***
In the days after the fire, Forestclan relocated to Crowcloud's Stream, where the boulders in the vicinity were used as shelters for Dustleaf, Dippercloud, and the apprentices. Honeystar sent out several patrols to check on the camp, and they reported that while the dens had miraculously escaped major damage, the bramble defenses and some of the forest surrounding the camp was blackened and charred. They wouldn't be able to move back for some time, it seemed.
The bodies of Crowcloud, Egretstep, and Fleckstorm were also recovered and buried by the river in a great ceremony. The whole clan mourned for Crowcloud, first medicine cat and second cat to join Forestclan. Fleckstorm's kits were far more subdued, as they had already seen their friends lose family members. In addition, Scorchpaw's warrior ceremony had to be postponed until he passed his assessments, which likely wouldn't happen for some time. But slowly, the clan bounced back as they always did.
Birchnose and Alderclaw decided to have kits while they were able, and Briarwhisker and Daisywhisker decided on the same. Despite intense pressure, Mila and Palefur simply smiled and shook their heads, pointing out that Mila was one of the best fishers in the clan and it would be best to have someone catch food rather than lose the fisher to motherhood. Someday, they'd have kits. But now was not the time. Dustleaf was able to recover the majority of her herbs, and in the days following the fires, had a series of strange dreams involving those who had died in past moons. She kept the dreams to herself, as she was worried that she had gone mad from stress. The only person she told was her sister, Barleystream, who kept quiet and simply listened to her descriptions of her dreams. As the days went by, the clan grew stronger. That is, the clan appeared stronger.

"Can you smell that?" asked Applenose.
Cherryclaw shook her head but Duckpelt and Ashstripe nodded. "Loners, I suppose?" asked Duckpelt.
Applenose paused and nodded. "Yeah. Let's investigate?"
Snowfoot grinned. "Starclan must be feeling merciful today," she said in a joking tone. Her eyes, however, were serious. The fire had killed something in all of them.
"How much longer?" asked a small voice. The patrol had followed the scent and were now watching a pair of young apprentice-aged cats talk to an older tom.
"I don't know," sighed the older tom. "Either until we're noticed by a clan or until we find our way to a human territory."
"Well, today's your lucky day," said Ashstripe, strolling out from behind a tree. "We're clan cats."
The two younger cats jumped and the older tom hissed. "How would I know?" he asked. "You could be faking."
"One way or another," said Ashstripe calmly, "you'll be coming with us to meet Honeystar, our leader."
"And what will she do?" asked one of the young cats.
"She won't hurt you," said Duckpelt gently, "if that's what you're thinking. She'll give you a mentor and you can learn to be part of our clan."
"But if you harm either one of these kits..." snarled the tom.
"You'll kill us," said Cherryclaw flatly. "Got it. Now c'mon."
***
"Today, Starclan has granted us a boon," said Honeystar, voice ringing out over the crowd. She was standing on Crowcloud's Boulder and even as she preformed the ceremony, remembered that cold rainy night when she had met the black medicine cat. "Three loners, by the name of Aspen, Leo, and Ruby, will join the clan under the names Mottleflower, Dawnpaw, and Neritepaw." There were more than a few gasps as the prefix Dawn- was announced for Leo, and Honeystar saw Duckpelt give a little smile. While Dawnstorm's name and memory would be held dear for generations, his time had passed and this would be a good way to symbolize rebirth and change. For both were desperately needed. "If I could call up Applenose and Boulderpelt?" The two warriors padded out of the crowd and though Neritepaw cringed noticeably, Dawnpaw scanned their faces, clearly wondering who was to be mentoring him. "Applenose. You have grown up in this clan and your past was much like that of these two apprentices. I trust you will pass on your knowledge of the clans to Dawnpaw."
"I will," swore Applenose, eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Boulderpelt." continued Honeystar. "You too, have grown up in Forestclan, with an intimate knowledge of our history. I trust that you will pass on your knowledge of the clans to Neritepaw."
"I will," proclaimed Boulderpelt.
"Then I announce that Applenose and Boulderpelt will mentor Dawnpaw and Neritepaw!"
"Dawnpaw! Neritepaw! Dawnpaw! Neritepaw!" cheered the clan.

The tabbies were now walking back from their recent hunting patrols, a soft sparrow in Shrewrunner's jaws and an another juicy Sparrow plus a wet bluegill in Sparrowstar's jaws. but what they didn't expect was a scent of a nursing loner on their way back to the calm and almost friendly camp. the scent didn't seem to be far, probably a few fox lengths away but as of now, they will go back after they placed their earnings in the prey-pile and see if the scent is still around. plus if the loner is nursing, that will mean another cat for their clan plus some small-paws to go along with it if she is expecting some anytime soon.
the two toms made it back to camp only for both of their greens eyes to spot another cat in the clan. it wa a calico kit who is playing with Starlingpaw at the moment. then something sparked inside of the ruler's head, a connection. this can be the nursing loner's kit and she is probably looking for their kit right at the moment. Sparrowstar placed his pieces of prey inside of the pile of the other prey they have collected over time, Shrewrunner doing the same, and went off towards Ferretnose again meanwhile Shrewrunner went towards the new kit. " I'm guessing this one also followed you? " Sparrowstar asked the strong-claw, making her look up with calm eyes as she moved away from her grooming. after a few moons of being with Sparrowstar, Ferretnose trusts him now along with Shrewrunner. " yes, she did. for some reason she thought I was her mother and followed me here to the clan. I had to tell the she-kit that I wasn't her mother, maybe a bit too harshly, but she stayed here. probably hoping her mother would show up and take her back " Ferretnose finished her little story about finding the kit. " ah I see. well I did get the scent of a nursing loner on my way back from my hunting trip with Shrewrunner. that could be, by chance, the kit's mother " " it's most likely is. I would probably go back there and find her. I bet she is very worried sick about her kit being away from her for...Starclan knows how long " Ferretnose suggested the idea to the tabby ruler. " I was about to go do that but first, I wanna see this kit " he meowed as he walked away from the she-cat and padded besides Shrewrunner, his calm gaze now onto the small kit.
the small kit's eyes moved towards the new cat who just came to her. " oh hello there! have you seen my mother? " the kit asked with a tilt of her head, making Shrewrunner smile a bit. " I'm sorry little one but we didn't see your mother but we might have picked up her scent. until we find her, you will have to stay here in Sparrowclan " Sparrowstar said to the small kit. " Awww....ok " replied the calico kit, a little sad that the ruler didn’t see her mother as she wished. " W-What is y-y-your name? " Shrewrunner asked, the kit moving her head and looked over to the other tabby tom. " I-I....don't remember " " O-Oh. W-Well I guess w-w-we will just have to give y-you a new name then " Shrewrunner said in his usually shy tone. " How about Applekit? " Starlingpaw suggested to the two toms but they shook their heads, not agreeing with the young-chaser's name suggestion. " That just doesn't fit with me. hmmmm....How about Dapplekit? " Sparrowstar said as he turned his gaze back to the kit below him. " oooo I like that one. I wanna be Dapplekit! " the calico she-kit said with happiness, causing the three cats around her to smirk. " Ok then. Dapplekit it is. Now, do you happen to remember what your mother looks like? " " Um....sorry but I don't. I don't have a very good memory " Dapplekit answered the ruler's question. The ruler sighed, this was going to be harder then he though. " Well that's ok. I'm going to go off to find your mother. meanwhile, Shrewrunner and Starlingpaw can show you around the camp and introduce you to the other cats here " Sparrowstar replied back, Shrewrunner and Starlingpaw giving a nod to accepted his request. Shrewrunner and Starlingpaw started to take the kit around the camp while Sparrowstar went off to see if he can smell the scent again and find Dapplekit's mother or even her father.𝓹𝓻𝒆𝓼𝒆𝓷𝓽
" then I pounced on the unsuspecting rabbit with force " Shrewrunner said towards the ruler with energy, making the tabby gave a small chuckle due to how much energy he put into his words. " I swear you can make almost any story of yours interesting due to all the energy you have " Sparrowstar said towards his friend, making Shrewrunner give a nod of thankfulness towards him. " why thanks Sparrowstar " he said. but the two toms talk was cut short due to the oncoming running pawsteps, making them turn there heads towards the sound. what they saw was Snowstep running towards them with Dapplekit, the newest member, in his mouth and what seemed to be panic in his green eyes. when the white, fluffy prey-chaser has finally reached the tabbies, he dropped the kit down carefully before curling his tail around the shocked kit to try to comfort her. he stop to catch his breath due to all the running he just did to get to the ruler and ruler's second-in-command. " Snowstep? what is wrong and why do you have Dapplekit with you? " Sparrowstar asked the tom's motives, the ruler noticing the panic in the tom's green eyes. after the tom has catch his breathe, he begin the whole deal.
" F-Foxes, three o-of them, suddenly i-i-invaded our camp out o-of nowhere. in a r-rush of p-p-panic, everyone s-s-scattered. I w-went for the n-nursery r-right a-away, took Dapplekit and n-now i'm finding a p-place safe for her. m-m-maybe even find her mother and/or f-father. t-the last thing I s-s-saw was O-Olivedapple running off to s-s-somewhere and Starlingpaw f-following her. " Snowstep finished, his tone shy but panic and full of worry for his clan and clan-mates. Sparrowstar gave a nod towards his trusted prey-chaser. the ruler did remember the scent of a nursing loner a while back on his hunting trip with Shrewrunner, so maybe she is still around. plus Sparrowstar did just scented her scent a few moments ago but when they went to look, she was gone. " well thanks for telling us right away. please take her somewhere safe and we will go into there a fight off the foxes. we will tell you when it's safe to return " Sparrowstar said to the tom, Snowstep giving a nod to his words as a sigh that he understood them. Snowstep took the small kit back into his mouth and dashed off meanwhile Sparrowstar and Shrewrunner dashed off to fight off the foxes that dared to invade their camp.
once they made it back to the camp, Snowstep's panic and feared words turned out to be true. there were three foxes that were trying to attack Ferretnose, some attacks were hitting while some were not. seeing how overpowered she is at the moment, Sparrowstar and Shrewrunner jumped right into battle, hissing and spatting at the foxes as they leaped at the red-furred creatures.[ my clan eats a sparrow ]
