The new queen and kit have settled down in the clan. Applebelly and Rubblekit were the newcomers. Applebelly was feeding her only remaining son when she looked over and saw Snowwhisker enter. ”Uh... hey. I’m Snowwhisker. You’re Applebelly right?” She asked. ”Yeah that’s me! Nice to meet you! This is my son Jax but the clan named him Rubblekit. So you’re a hunter I heard?” Snowwhisker nodded before takingba seat beside her. She looked down seeing Rubblekit had finished feeding and was curled up beside his mother. She smiled. She did wish to have kits someday but it seemed like her only option was Batstar but... she liked Reedfire but he already was mates with Lightberry. Snowwhisker’s smile fell but her attention perked up when seeing Acornkit and Sparkkit dash on in the nursery. They padded over to Rubblekit and smiled. ”Oh he’s not old enough to play yet, whatever play means. Don’t worry though.” Applebelly chuckled. The kits nodded and dashed over to Weaseltuft who was nursing her newborn. Foxblaze too was beside her as well as Salmonpaw. The three were so excited over the little kit. A little girl. Foxblaze actually cried when he met his daughter for the first time. He kept saying how beautiful she was and how she’s was going to be the best guard. Batstar seemed to be looking at even more kits now to see their place in the clan.

The joy was short lasted for Snowwhisker as Batstar entered the den and asked for her. She followed him out of camp and to a small cliff. ”So uh, what’s the occasion?” She asked with a nervous smile. ”Snowwhisker, look, you’re one of the best hunters I’ve ever had. You’re also so skilled and talented and gorgeous. Look... I’m in love with you and if you feel the same, will you be my mate?” He asked before bowing down. Snowwhisker saw this coming But was still stunned. No no no. She can’t. Snowwhisker looked back and forward before running away leaving Batstar confused but mostly heartbroken.

She ran until finding an isolated patch in the forest. She collapsed on the ground and cried softly to herself. God she was such a fool. What was she doing? Snowwhisker was about to scream out in agony but, ”Snow?” She turned around and saw a concerned Reedfire. Snowwhisker wiped away her tears and raced on over nuzzling them. ”What’s wring Snow? Who hurt you? I’d be guilty if I don’t hurt them back!” He meowed getting protective. ”Batstar. He asked me to be his mate and I didn’t want to. I have someone else on my mind...” She trailed off. Reedfire was oblivious to the fact she liked him. He suggested they go on a walk to get their mind off of things. Snowwhisker liked the idea of a nice peaceful walk with her friend. Well, maybe more than just a walk.

Of course, they weren’t the only ones. Otterfang and Frecklefur were curled up side by side with each other on the outskirts of the territory. The two loved each other a lot. Sharpfoot didn’t even know she was with Frecklefur now. ”Have you ever wanted a family?” Otterfang asked. This caught Frecklefur off guard but he nodded a yes anyways. The two smiled at each other and uzzled each other. ”You would be a good mother you know?” Frecklefur purred our with a chuckle. ”A little insane but also quite nice.” He added on. Otterfang only gave him a playful shove before getting up. ”Kits seem nice. It’s newleaf anyways soon or now or something. Come on Frecklefur, I know a few good kit names to tell you.” The she cat replied before the two bounded off. Though they didn’t walk away in peace. Sharpfoot had watched them the whole time.

Lightberry and Ivystone were looking for the folded eared kitten. Eventually a weak mew was heard. Lightberry looked over and saw a small brown tabby figure in the snow. She dashed over and gasped seeing a little kit barely hanging on. She was about to grab it when they passed out. ”Ivystone! This isn’t the kit we’re looking for but it’s still a kit! Come on we have to get it warm.” She cried before grabbing the stiff little body and ran back to camp. Ivystone was confused but followed suit. ”Now look I may not be a medicine cat but I sure do know my stuff. I wanted to be a medicine cat as a kit but it was already filled up. Oh well though. I can help you at least.” She started off and smiled when getting a nod from Lightberry. The two made it to camp and rushed the kit inside the medicine cats den where Lightberry curled it up beside her and gave it a few herbs. Acornfur entered the den noticing the she cats had ran in fear into the camp. ”Hey what’s going on here?” He asked before seeing the scrap of fur. He made an “oh” motion before sitting down. ”She reminds me of a beaver.” He meowed with a laugh. Though his out of the blue comment gave Lightberry an idea. ”That’s it! Beaverkit!” She then licked the kit trying to warm it up. It also was a little girl as well. Well, she wouldn’t mind adopting the little one for sure. She loved Beaverkit already.

Number of Cats: 06
Next Moonpool Visit: 6/9/18

Nightingalestar watched the suspicious tom, smelling of greenery and foliage yet his eyes glittered with reluctance to join her. Nightingalestar frowned, for any word she said produced no results, and no amount of easy conversation allowed the tom any relief. Even so, she noticed his ribs sticking out from his pelt and his fur clumped in places where burrs had dug in, and she realized she would need a different approach. She dangled promises of food and protection before his face and he bit heartily, a fish on her proverbial hook. The two traveled back to camp together, silence stretching thin between them as Nightingalestar sized him up. It seemed luck was finally on her side.

---

Stoneheart watched from the mouth of his den as Nettleberry and Russetsky return from a hunting patrol together, a bushy-tailed squirrel hanging from the jaws of his sister. He narrowed his eyes; Nettleberry, usually quiet and skittish, was reduced to a giggling mess about this strange new tom, and Russetsky only seemed to commit to his antics even more. They settled beside the meager fresh-kill pile and deposited the corpse within the sand, before settling at the mouth of camp together. Stoneheart resisted the urge to crawl closer in order to match the movements of their mouths to words, and instead rooted his paws on the warm rock underfoot. He tried to connect the dots there; Nettleberry and Russetsky tended to be the only cats on the hunting patrols, Russetsky was an infamous flirt, and Nettleberry was much too weak-willed to reject his advances.

Stoneheart groaned in exasperation upon spotting their tails twine, feeling a twinge of anger in his heart. He always wished the best for his sister, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Russetsky would be a bad influence to her. He turned his head away to avoid them, and suddenly rose. It was high time he patrolled the territory.

---

Stoneheart muttered coldly underneath his breath as he walked, feeling the light dim and the heat slowly fade from his pelt as he passed under the thick boughs overhead. His paws took him every which way, carving a haphazard and distracted path through the brittle foliage and cold grass. While the humidity from the ocean prevented the climate from growing too cold, a bitter chill still settled deep into his bones and he could feel ice prickle against his pawpads with every feverish step. The forest was silent as death, nothing moving and nothing changing for many paces—not that Stoneheart would have noticed if anything did seem different. He was much too distracted with wishing well-being for his sister in order to adequately see anything around him. He sighed heartily and kicked at a stone, watching it roll down the peak of a hill and disappear from sight. He followed it, and his claws tipped into the grass below him.

At the bottom of the steep incline, a small she-cat sat, shivering. Her pelt swirled with dark markings and her eyes reflected a brilliant green, but she looked lost and confused, a wandering vagrant in a tiny wasteland. Stoneheart quirked his brow and called out to her coldly, to which she looked up and a fire was kindled within her gaze. She bounced to her paws, although limped considerably. It seemed she had wrenched her paw. She explained that she couldn't remember anything before waking up at the bottom of that hill, and that she had no where else to go and no one else to turn to—she could not remember her name, her family, her home, merely the horrid cold that permeated the site. Stoneheart drew her into TideClan easily, seeing some sort of potential within her. He guided her home, and although she tried to make quaint, polite conversation, he gave only small grunts in response.

The wind howled across the endless, arid prairie, kicking up storms
of dust and rendering sight unusable. The sand, hard and gritty, pel
ted Scorpionstar's side and burned into her skin, an ever-present sti
ng accompanying every laborious pawstep. Although snow no longer
blanketed the steppes, new growth made it hard to see and ferociou
s gusts and gales made it difficult to leave camp, making all clan life
screech to a stop and remain stagnant. Scorpionstar was determined
to survive in the awful conditions and went about the task with a gust
o, but little could be done when she scented badger droppings and fo
und them littering ChaparralClan territory. Although anger flared up
within her like a stoked fire, rationality and reason soon got hold of h
er and she stalked int he opposite direction, not intending to get invol
ved with predators until her clan had grown adequately.

---

The river gurgled cheerfully as Sandstep approached, a small smile
on her face. The wind gusted hard against her, but she held her gro
und and kept balanced, eyes set and determined on a clump of soft,
green leaves against the bank. She crawled towards them and releas
ed the mallow leaves from their stem with a swift, well-placed strike
to the base of the plant. Satisfied with her new collection, she gathe
red up the herbs gently between her teeth and trotted off with her t
ail high in the air.

Cats: 54
Next SunJaw visit: 3rd June

Fawnrise was annoyed. Her paws were wet and she was slipping into snow that was now stuck to the ground and was beginning to become rock solid, although it was still melting. After her mentor had tried to teach her how to fish she denied the training: with her short fur it was easy to become cold, and putting paws into water wasn't nice, especially as she knew how to fish but couldn't be bothered. Briarsweep couldn't understand her apprentice, so she sent the ginger she-cat to do bedding duties for the entire moon; while apprentices usually did bedding a few sunrises scattered over the "month" she was to check on Leopardeyes, Russetheart and Eaglefrost every day.
Every single day.
Every time she came to do her duties Eaglefrost would snap at her; Russetheart would go on about some story about Aconite and Owlwing and Bearfoot, which she did listen to occasionally (especially when Aconite was demanding that the apprentices saw to her nest like slaves and Fawnrise could begin the tale of how she asked if she could be an elder at five moons old) but she was tired of hearing them. Leopardeyes would sit quietly with a gaze that cut right through her, barely talking.

The same task all the time was not the only bad thing. Her brother and the three others were taking their assessments before her. Now that Flamewing and Speckledleaf had cheered up they too gossiped about being warriors. Her hopes were down, until Briarsweep asked, "Do you want to join me on a hunting patrol? The only condition is that you have to try again fishing," The apprentice nodded enthusiastically, and at once joined the hunting patrol.

other news;

Salmonstar stood in front of the clan members, staring them down as he waited for them to fall silent. Whithergaze stood to his right, watching and learning how the apprentice ceremony would go. Salmonstar waited until the buzz died down. “Clanmates! We have two apprentices today who have earned their right to become warriors!”

Gullpaw stood in the crowd, his tail shaking excitedly, he was surprised when Salmonstar had said two apprentices, as he hadn’t completed all his training yet. But training was extremely hard as they had no place to go. He stared up at Salmonstar in awe, glad that the leader had recognized him. His thin pelt rubbed against his sister, Shellpaw’s thick coat of fur.

“Shellpaw, please step forward!” Salmonstar yowled, his voice thick. “I, Salmonstar, leader of Winterclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn.” He Paused, “Shellpaw and Gullpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?

“I do,” Said Shellpaw.
“I do,” Said Gullpaw

“Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Shellpaw from this moment on you will be known as Shellfog, StarClan honors your responsibility and versatility and we welcome you as a full warrior of Winterclan. Gullpaw from this moment on you will be known as Gullwing. Starclan honors your faith and tenacity and we welcome you as a full warrior of Winterclan!”

“Gullwing! Shellfog! Gullwing! Shellfog!” As the cheering died down, a sinister voice in the back of the cave cried out, “How pathetic! Those names. I’m so sorry Shellfog!” Timberclaw laughed, “Salmonstar, you have always been the worst at gifting names to your warriors!”

Salmonstar snarled, “Get off my territory!”

Timberclaw laughed, “As if! You don’t deserve Winterclan! Now I’m here, to challenge you, to a battle to the death. No outside help, no nothing. Just you and me. Tom to tom.”

Seabird snarled loudly and started to lunge towards the large tom, but Sootberry rammed into her side, “No mother. This isn’t your fight!”

Timberclaw chuckled, “That’s right Seabird. The only reason your angry is because you know he will lose and I will win!” Slowly, the cats who had followed Timberclaw into a revolt started to file in behind him. Foxdawn spoke up, “If Salmonstar or Timberclaw wins, we agree to follow whoever. Both are decent leaders,” Timberclaw glared at her for that, but Rookfur stepped forward and lashed his tail at Timberclaw, showing that he couldn’t lay a paw on her. “Do you clanmates agree to that?”

There were yowls of disapproval, snarls of ‘Never’ echoed about the cave. Foxdawn held up her tail, “It’s very unlikely Timberclaw will win anyways. Salmonstar still has two lives left. Timberclaw would have to beat him twice.”

The clan got quiet, muttering around the clanmates. They just wanted the war to be over. The offer was appealing to them. Whithergaze cleared his throat, “I am now the deputy of Salmonstar, and if both of them dies, I would like to know if you would follow me also? A new leader, a fresh start.”

The rebels slowly nodded their heads, “I can agree to that,” Said Foxdawn. “Though it is very unlikely.”

The cats slowly came to an agreement, both parties ready to watch the showdown. A full battle between two powers a come to blows.

Salmonstar stood up, “Make a ring for us to fight.” The cats did as they were told, allowing a center ring to be placed for Salmonstar and Timberclaw to fight in. They stepped forward, both ready to fight. Foxdawn stepped into the ring. “Do the death. No mercy. No fear. Ready… Set… GO!”

Timberclaw lunged forward, his claws reaching toward Salmonstar’s face. Salmonstar ducked his head, and rolled to the side, barely getting away. He turned around and lashed forward reaching his claws towards Timberclaws flank. Timberclaw jumped to the side, dodging the blow before jumping again towards Salmonstar in a frontal attack. His claws swiped forward and Salmonstar battled back. They battled for what seemed like hours. Barely nicking each other, blood only being drawn in small cuts.

Timberclaw had never seen Salmonstar like this and had severely underestimated the leader. He snarled and rushed forward, but Salmonstar dodged the attack. Salmonstar knew this was coming though, he knew that soon Timberclaw would get angry and rush for him. He whipped around and landed a long scrape onto Timberclaw’s flank. The wound was dripping blood, and Timberclaw cried out in pain.

He stood still for a moment as Salmonstar backed away, the leader spoke, “This won’t end anytime soon, will it?”

Timberclaw shook his head, “I want this more than I wanted Piranhapaw.”

*GORE WARNING*
Vulturepaw took a deep intake of breath. He knew that his father had loved Piranhapaw more than him, but he never actually thought he would say it out loud, in front of the entire clan. Salmonstar looked toward Vulturepaw at the sound of his intake of breath, forgetting that there were even cats around them. The clan had gone deathly silent, waiting in anticipation for the result. Timberclaw took this as his chance, and raced forward tackling Salmonstar with all his might, and grabbed a hold of his neck, biting tightly to the jugular. Salmonstar couldn’t breathe, but he used his back legs to rake his claws along Timberclaws underbelly, attempting to disembowel him. Timberclaw snarled out in pain, but it only made him bite harder onto salmonstar’s neck.

Finally, Timberclaw couldn’t take the pain anymore and released Salmonstar’s neck. Salmonstar still couldn’t get any air in, and the blood that was gushing out of his neck was as thick as a river. Timberclaw held his paws to his stoumach, trying to staunch the blood flow, but it kept coming out also. The clan started to freak out, growing loud as the medicine cat stepped forward. Mallowpool went over to Timberclaw, while Branchnose and Badgerheart went to Salmonstar. Both cats were now in their final moments of life. As Timberclaw took shallow breaths, a single life left Salmonstar. Timberclaw smiled in triumph as he watched the life leave Salmonstar. “One more,” he whispered, knowing that one more life meant he had won.

Salmonstar opened his eyes again but felt no better. The blood loss from the wound was too much for his body to recover. He made eye contact with Timberclaw just as his life started to leave him. Timberclaw started to smile but suddenly took one large breath before dying. Neither party had won.
*GORE OVER*

Whithergaze stood off to the side, realizing what this meant. The rebel cats had said that they would swear to him if both leaders died. He walked to the center of the circle, between the two dead cats. “You swore.”

Foxdawn nodded, the fight had left her body after her leader had died. “Yes… Yes we did.”

Seabird had rushed forward and lay crying over her mate’s body. Sootberry doing the same. Screechpelt started to walk forward but Sootberry snarled at her, “YOU DID THIS! LOOK WHAT YOU DID! I WISH YOU WERE NEVER MY SISTER!” Screechpelt sobbed and turned towards Pikeclaw, her only friend and ally, who had barely survived. He wrapped his tail around her and pulled her close, “It’s ok. Give her time. You will have time to grieve.”

He made eye contact with Cricketwing, his mother, as she looked at him with no emotion. He mouthed to her, “I’ll explain everything!” She nodded and turned away towards Rubypelt and Redwing. Redwing hadn’t said a word the entire time, as she watched her former mate challenge the leader, then die. The molly hadn’t cared, all she cared about was seeing her daughter, mistpaw, who had watched the large tom with curiosity and sadness.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
seven moons ago
it had started as a trickle. cats being found in the territory, claiming to be from other clans, wanting to join. sabra took them in, halcyonclan steadily growing in size. the first cats were from azgeda; jax, catania, shea, ciera, quinn, zevon, and drizzle. all had relatives in halcyon, who had been overcome with joy to see them. anwyll held his children close, their mother in swiftclan. dashiell and his half of their litter rushed to embrace their kin, their mother still with azgeda. there were tears that day, but some couldn’t help but watch with a pang of jealousy. jealous that they didn’t have a family of their own, jealous that they were alone.

six moons ago
the trickle grew to a steady stream, the dens of halcyonclan quickly filling. more had come from azgeda; pyria, jellybean, mareth, macallan, and zoran. behind them, warriors of the once great brineclan, left homeless as their clan split. all had been renamed, not wishing to keep the memories tied to their previous names. they fit in well, quickly adapting to halcyonclan's way of life. \

five moons ago
gullrunner of sycamoreclan was found at the border, along with clearsight and vipethron of solarclan. it seemed that a strange force had drawn them to halcyonclan. perhaps it was the rushing waterfalls, crystal lakes, towering mountains, or lush trees; soon, halcyonclan had grown from a mere 15 cats to a staggering 34 cats. sabra assumed that was the end of the torrent of new clan members.. another clan member had other ideas on how to stop it.

four moons ago
on the next border patrols, a tall tom was found, two kits with him. eaglefrost was his name, and he had come across the orphaned kits on his journey here. eaglekit and hawkkit looked strong, and so the trio was welcomed into halcyonclan. day after day, cats talked and laughed, together. one cat sat alone, watching like a hawk from their nest. their time was coming...

three moons ago
this time, a molly was found. applemist of seaclan, who refused to tell them why she had come to join. she held a kit by the scruff, roughly dropping them at the nursery and leaving. flashkit of wildclan had been left by his clanmates, alone in the city. the small kit mewled pitifully, his lungs weak from a tiring journey. he would be an easy victim....

two moons ago
news of elmclan's disbanding spread across the clans, and soon, halcyonclan had two new members. rainwing and tigerpaw had settled in well, and had made friends with everyone. almost everyone, that is. there seemed to be one member that despised everyone, the outcast.

one moon ago
a lithe molly by the name of natasha joined halcyonclan, sabra welcoming her with a weary smile. behind her was someone sabra had not seen in moons; ghostpaw, his former clanmate. the two met with a warm smile, and ghostpaw joined the shamans as a trainee.

now

pippa
pippa parted her jaws in a yawn, daintily making her way to the highstone. two of her siblings sat beside her, all feeling nervous and out of place. it seemed that with the rush of new cats, sabra had forgotten to make them trainees, and now they were starting their training 6 moons after they were meant to. she glanced at the current trainees, focusing on one particularly small one. marcus flashed a toothy grin at her, and she smiled back. sabra's voice rang out from the top, and she snapped back to attention. "cats of halcyonclan! we are here to celebrate the growing of five fine cats. pippa, heather, elliot, mallow, and spark, come forward," the young cats stepped forward in unison, their excitement dangerously high. "pippa, heather, elliot, you have long been waiting for this, and it is time for you to be come trainees. your mentors will be pyria, anwyll, and myself. i hope we will pass down all we know on to you." the three siblings touched noses with their mentors before climbing down the stone. "mallow and spark, you have reached the age of 6 moons and it is time for you to become trainees. your mentors will be nico and jax. i hope they pass down all they know on to you." the smaller trainees did the same, and the clan meeting disbanded.

"pippa!" a voice called from behind the trainee. she spun around, looking for whoever said it. her eyes met with marcus' and he bounded up to her. "congratulations! training is going to be super fun with all of us." he purred, and pippa's heart sank a bit. he had said 'us' and didn't mean just her. the munchkin tom smiled and padded away to the other trainees. "great. he totally does not like me." she sighed, her thoughts being interrupted as one of her two brothers approached her. "hi, jax!" she smiled, attempting to cheer herself up. "i saw you talking to that tom," he mused, a sly grin on his face. "he's cute." at this, pippa's jaw dropped and she cuffed him over the ear. "that's my crush!!" she hissed quietly, followed by a snort from jax. "sorry. anyways, i bet he likes you. you're a nice molly, pippa. and i'm not just saying that because you're my sister." the siamese molly's eyes brightened a bit. "you really think so?" he nodded, gesturing towards the group of mentors. "now, come on. you have to train with pyri- i mean sinead, and i kinda have to train spark." with a small nod, the pair bounded off to the training group.

natasha
the bengal warrior snaked past a group of trainees and their mentors, her muscles rippling beneath her pelt. instead of talking to them, natasha preferred to sit in a tree and pick out cats she thought were cute. since she had joined the clan, she had noticed one specific molly that stood out to her. what was her name again...? caitlyn? catherine? claudia? ...catania! catania, natasha had noticed, was a no-foxdung type of feline. she was blunt and spoke her mind, and natasha admired that. of course, she admired her looks as well. catania was fiiiiinnneee. of course, barely anybody spoke to her, so natasha wasn't exactly well-known, and catania probably wouldn't know her.

never stop running on and on with the wind
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ( archive ) ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

number of cats thirty-five | seventeen ♂ | eighteen ♀ |servings needed seven
next patrol june 4th at 2:05am | next moonpool june 10th
injuries n/a kittings ivystripe now, sweetecho 1 moon, mothtail 2 moons

ivystripe tried her best to concentrate on the herbs scattered around her paws, though anxiety prickled at her pelt. over the past moon, she became increasingly aware that her time was running out. starclan was going to punish her, she knew, because she fell in love with tumblejaw. even now, she hadn't said anything to the clan deputy, and kept the secret from most of the clan by hiding out in her den. more than once, redstar came by to check up on her to see if she needed anything, and cyanslash and falconflight brought prey from their hunting patrols, but she stuck to the dark crevices of her den out of fear that they would see her swollen belly or catch the scent of milk on her pelt. sweetecho came by most days, as her own stomach grew. she offered her own assistance when the time came, and said that she would ask around the queens to see if any of them had experience. duskflower, she said, would be a good try, but ivystripe refused. the dark molly was too bound to the rules of the clan, and word would not be able to spread, not yet, at least. this had to remain a secret and only within the queens.
which was why piperskip came to help. though the dark queen kept to herself, for the most part, sweetecho managed to convince her to come to ivystripe's den when oriolekit had a small cough. she had been hesitant, at first, to offer any help when ivystripe revealed her secret, but agreed that she would be there when the time came, if they asked.
the closer she came, the more anxious ivystripe felt, and the more time sweetecho spent in the medicine cat's den. the pretty tabby queen washed her ears while ivystripe sorted herbs, rising only when the scrape of paws outside signaled the arrival of another cat, and ivystripe found herself soothed by tumblejaw's scent the moment before she heard his voice near the entrance of the den. "ivystripe?" he called out, evidently waiting for her answer.
but sweetecho cut in first, "in here, tumblejaw," she returned, and ivystripe could hear his fur brush against the narrow cavern entrance. "ivystripe is just sorting herbs," sweetecho murmured, before falling silent, and ivystripe imagined her washing her paws again.
"how are you feeling, sweetecho? i hope everything is okay," his deep voice rattled into the den, and ivystripe poked her head out from the crevice where she kept her herbs.
there, sweetecho sat with her paws neatly arranged, her belly showing with the small lives she carried. "of course," she purred. "but with all of the hustle in the nursery with the kits and mothtail moving in, i figured i'd see if ivystripe needed any company."
"plus we do want to make sure the leader's kits and mate are safe," ivystripe broke it, catching tumblejaw's gaze. she didn't move fully from the crevice, still hiding her stomach in the shadows and out of sight, and the deputy's tail twitched.
though ivystripe refused to tell sweetecho who the father of the kits were, she caught the moment when the queen put two and two together, and she sat up a bit straighter. "right, well, now that you're here tumblejaw, maybe i should go see if piperskip or aspenwish want me to -"
"that would be a good idea -"
"you should stay -"
ivystripe and tumblejaw locked gazes at the same moment that they spoke against one another, and sweetecho shifted between them. at last, she looked to ivystripe, who asked her to stay, and needed once. "alright, ivystripe," she said, though she moved slightly to one side, so that she was not sitting directly in the middle of them, but closer to the wall, out of the way.
ivystripe held tumblejaw's gaze when she took a deep breath and stepped out into the open, into the light, so that her belly was fully visible. tumblejaw blinked quickly, only to sit down heavily. "ivystripe..." he murmured quietly. "what are you going to do?" he asked after another moment passed in silence.
"they're our kits," she answered quietly, though not without confidence. "but no one can know they're mine."
"you want them to know that they're mine?" tumblejaw asked. his eyes never shifted from her belly.
ivystripe paused, and it was clear that she hadn't thought that far ahead. "i think that's your choice," she answered with a heavy sigh, to which he nodded.
while sweetecho watched, ivystripe sat down and dropped her head, but tumblejaw stood up a moment later and touched his nose to hers. "we'll figure this out, when they come. don't worry about it, ivystripe, i love you."

later on, the sounds of kits at play echoed from the lower half of the camp. in the middle of it all, cyanslash and falconflight managed to convince sunnywhisker to let her kits out of the nursery along with twitekit, so that the queens could rest with the younger kits. from a distance, splashfall and oakseed watched on to where cyanslash paced up and down the line of small kits, stopping only for a heartbeat to lick affectionately between twitekit's ears. the oldest kit swiped playfully at her foster father's nose, but cyanslash ducked out of the way to the sound of his mate's laughter.
"alright, kits," cyanslash spoke loudly, catching nightfall's attention as he came down the path from the upper camp with snakespots at his heels. "if you want to be warriors of quickclan, you've got to be quick, smart, and always ready to protect your clanmates." sproutkit let out a ferocious hiss, and his sisters bounded on either side with energy, as if testing their agility. with a flick of his tail, falconflight caught the kits' attention, and he crouched down in front of the kits, who leaned in closer to hear him.
"look," he whispered, and tipped his head towards where blizzardrush was dozing in the dying sunlight outside of the warriors' den. immediately, the kits began to giggle and cyanslash quickly shushed them so that falconflight could speak again. "there is an enemy warrior. are you ready for this ambush?" he asked, and the kits wiggled with excitement.
"twitekit, cherrykit, and i will go around past redstar's den to his left flank," cyanslash whispered, and the pair of kits bunched at his side. "mintkit and sproutkit, you'll go with falconflight to the other side." after they had broken up into their small groups and flanked a sleeping blizzardrush, cyanslash flicked his ears in a signal and cried out, "kits, attack!" in the moment, blizzardrush blinked his eyes open to see his friends, but was a moment too late to stop the small bundles of fur that tackled him. at the sounds of the screeching that erupted from the kits as blizzardrush batted gently at them in the same way their small paws tapped his flank, all parties breathless from laughter, redstar came down from his den, deep amber eyes blinking at the sight.
the ginger tom approached cyanslash and falconflight, who sat together, watching the game unfold. "am i right in assuming that this is your doing?" he asked, looking at cyanslash, who merely flashed a smile. with a shake of his head, redstar sat next to the mates and watched along as blizzardrush managed to stand up. twitekit remained crouched on the white warrior's back while the other kits weaved between his paws. "your kit shows some promise," redstar teased, shooting the pair a sideways glance and purred when their chests puffed out.
"of course she does," falconflight answered with a purr of his own. "you should be scared, redstar. make way for the mighty twitestar."

"roll," blizzardrush called out to his apprentice, his voice echoing through the dip in the moor that was used for training the apprentices. "roll, gorsepaw, roll and jump back up," he shouted, watching as his apprentice struggled to duck down and get his legs underneath him in the same fluid motion.
across the clearing, brightpaw followed duskflower's instructions with ease for the battle training, and purred in happiness when she rolled, leapt up, and launched herself forward at duskflower. a growling and frustrated sputtering led blizzardrush's eyes back to his own apprentice. despite his lean muscles, gorsepaw struggled to keep up, and his paws tripped over one another, lacking coordination. at last, when he stumbled over his own tail again, blizzardrush let out a soft sigh and stepped forward to give his apprentice an encouraging lick between the ears. "let's take a little break," he said, and gorsepaw nodded, obviously tired from the long morning of training. gorsepaw stood, shaking out his short fur to rid it of dust and scraps of grass.
"i'm sorry, blizzardrush, i'm trying..." gorsepaw trailed off, only to glance up, confused, when blizzardrush rested his tail across the apprentice's narrow shoulders.
"it's okay, you'll get it. you just need a little time," he encouraged. though gorsepaw found it hard to accept when, across the clearing, brightpaw and duskflower trained together, the pair practicing fighting moves.
gorsepaw murmured an excuse and padded away from the small hollow towards the nearby stream of water. after he lapped at the cool water, his eyes remained fixed on the shadows that lurked underneath the surface and the gentle ripples as the water passed him by. it was only shortly after, when he heard approaching footsteps that he looked up. there, patchwing and berrypad approached, and they touched their noses to his briefly.
"how's the training going?" patchwing asked, settling down while berrypad lapped at the stream.
gorsepaw shook his head slowly. the more time that passed, the less confident he felt about training. at first, he thought it was simply that he missed training with patchwing, and then berrypad, but now he was uncertain if he even wanted to be a warrior at all. "i just -" he started, only to cut himself off with a shake of his head. "i feel like i can't do anything right. how am i supposed to be a warrior if i fight like a lopsided badger?"
to his side, berrypad pressed comfortingly agains his flank. "don't say that," she scolded gently. "besides, badgers are still plenty strong, even the lopsided ones."
together, they laughed, and gorsepaw felt his chest lightened, happy that his friends still stuck by his side. when they lapsed into silence, watching the stream continue to pass them by, he spoke again, "what if i don't want to be a warrior?" where he expected his friends to jump up, to call him a mousebrain, and dismiss the idea entirely, he was surprised when berrypad hummed quietly, as if in thought.
"what would you do instead?" patchwing asked, and he caught her green gaze out of the corner of his eye.
"i don't know... maybe ivystripe needs help. between sweetecho, mothtail, and the kits..." gorsepaw said thoughtfully, unsure if he had any other options.
again, silence stretched between them until berrypad spoke, "you'd become a medicine cat?" she asked and, without waiting for an answer, continued with a sudden smile, "i think you'd be good at that, gorsepaw."
hesitantly, he nodded to himself. maybe berrypad was right, maybe he would be a good medicine cat. "thanks," gorsepw purred, pressing his nose into her flank. "i think i'll think about it, and maybe talk to ivystripe later. but i should go back to blizzardrush for now." and so, with the pair of warriors calling out, he padded back the way he came, with a renewed lightness to his step.

piperskip allowed herself the chance to doze in the cool sunlight for the first time in several days when she left the nursery and stretched out her muscles. though she loved her kits, it was nice to take a break, trusting that aspenwish would look out for them, and call her back if she needed anything. as it was, the nursery felt rather crowded as of late, though she supposed that it wasn't about to change anytime soon. the kits were growing, and there were more kits on the way, she thought to herself. sweetecho, mothtail... ivystripe.
though she stuck mainly to herself and the nursery so long as she was in the clan, piperskip knew that it was unconventional for a medicine cat to have kits. it also struck her as suspicious that ivystripe didn't reveal who the father was. the very thought made her pelt itch when she closed her eyes. piperskip herself made many decisions she regretted over the seasons. her own mate had been a flea-bitten rogue, but his smile had been sweet and he treated her better than her twolegs ever had. though she should have suspected that he would leave the moment she revealed that she was pregnant. some cats just weren't to be trusted.
but her kits... piperskip had no regrets when it came to her kits. thanks to ivystripe, they were lovely, happy, and healthy. not a day earlier she heard the warriors gossiping about them around the fresh kill pile after a hunting patrol. nightfall and snakespots, in particular, both seemed interested in mentoring either oriolekit or dustkit, and she couldn't blame them. even at their age, oriolekit and dustkit seemed just as big and strong as sunnywhisker's kits, if not bigger and stronger. any mentor would be lucky to have them. as if on a cue, piperskip opened her eyes when someone cleared their throat nearby, and she was met with the sight of snakespots' long legs. the lanky tom approached her carefully, as if he didn't want to scare her, and she flicked her ear at him, "how were the patrols, snakespots?" she asked tentatively, unsure of what the tom wanted. slightly annoyed from his interruption, she sat up.
"they went well, thank you, piperskip," he answered, and she raised her eyes at him, waiting for him to speak. it took him slightly than she would have liked, but he sat down beside her and smiled, nodding to where mothtail emerged from the nursery. "are you excited for more kits in the nursery? friends for your kits."
the very mention of her kits made piperskip smile, though she shrugged. "i'm sure they'll like not being the youngest in the clan anymore, though the nursery will be too full soon, at this rate," she said, deciding to be brutally honest with what she was thinking. if snakespots came to ask her, then the least she could do is give him an answer. "i don't think i've seen you in the nursery to see the kits," she added, evidently catching him off-guard.
snakespots ducked his head bashfully, and e quickly lapped at his chest fur to smooth it down. piperskip liked seeing him embarrassed. maybe he wasn't so bad after all. "no, i suppose not," he murmured. "i'm a little shy, and i wasn't sure if that would be appropriate - since none of them are mine."
it seemed like an odd thing to say, piperskip noted with a flick of her ear. "you'd be surprised. cyanslash and falconflight always hang around for twitekit - it's almost like they gave birth to her themselves," she said, earning an amused purr from snakespots that, admittedly, warmed piperskip's heart. she was happy to make the long-legged tom laugh. "and nightfall tends to poke his nose inside. he says he likes the kits, but i think he's more interested in aspenwish."
at that, she noticed a slight shift in snakespots' demeanor, and he appeared to sit up a little taller, puff out his chest a bit more, when he looked back at her. "what about you?" he asked. "does anyone come to visit you?"
admittedly, piperskip found herself taken off-guard by his bold attempt at flirtation, and it was her turn to duck her head, unused to the way her pelt burned. she knew little about this warrior - or any of them, really, except for what she heard through the nursery gossip - but she couldn't deny that snakespots was handsome and, evidently, charming. she opened her mouth for a retort, but clamped it shut once again, speechless. before she could reply, snakespots stood and touched his nose to the base of her ear, "maybe i'll come by to visit you sometime, then?" he offered.
"maybe i'll consider letting you into the nursery," piperskip answered, earning another purr from snakespots. and so he went, saying that he would see her later on - she certainly hoped so, at any rate - and that he would leave her to her nap. eventually, darkness overtook the queen and she basked in the rays of sunlight.
until a paw prodded into her side, and she sat up immediately, finding herself nose to nose with sweetecho and staring into those clear blue eyes. it took piperskip a moment to recognize the way sweetecho's eyes were widened, her pelt fluffed out, and anxiety rolling from her pelt in waves. "you need to come, we need your help," the silver queen said, voice urgent, and piperskip followed after the pregnant queen to ivystripe's den.
piperskip knew something was wrong from sweetecho's reaction, but the scent of blood coming from the deep corner of the den struck her, and she hesitated for a moment. but sweetecho turned, having noticed that piperskip wasn't behind her, and she beckoned her onward. "please, piperskip, i can't do this alone and she needs our help."
dawn was breaking when sweetecho emerged from the medicine cat's den and climbed the slope to redstar's den. inside, her mate was sleeping soundly, though she woke him with a gentle nudge and a call of his name. immediately, his amber eyes met hers and she saw the way his gaze traced her form, from the curve of her stomach to the blood that stained her paws. urgency made the fur on his neck stand on end, and sweetecho shook her head slightly. "i'm okay. our kits are okay," she murmured, and pressed forward before he could ask any further questions. "it's ivystripe. she was pregnant. and something went wrong. she's dead, redstar."
her mate stared up at her, dumbfounded, before standing abruptly and leaving her to follow him back down to ivystripe's den. "she can't be dead," she heard him mutter to himself, and her heart ached, because she knew what he would see. piperskip, still trying to save their medicine cat, and ivystripe... oh starclan, why ivystripe?

as the morning stretched, the news spread that ivystripe was dead, and most of the cats remained in various states of shock. those such as mothtail, sparrowcall, and poppyhaze, who knew her the least, seemed moderately upset that there had been a death, but were not crushed as cyanslash, falconflight, and tumblejaw were. the latter especially was inconsolable, and redstar allowed his deputy to leave his duties for the time being. sweetecho's eyes followed tumblejaw's shape as he hunched over ivystripe's body, and her pelt prickled. only the two of them knew the secret ivystripe died for, and the question everyone in the clan was asking - who was ivystripe's mate? as if sensing sweetecho's gaze, tumblejaw looked directly at her, and he shook his head slightly. she knew that he was right - now wasn't the time. now was a time for mourning and, from what she knew of redstar, a time for action.
after paying his respects to their medicine cat's spirit, redstar crossed the camp's clearing to the center, where he raised his voice, "quickclan," he began, and all eyes turned towards him. the clan had already been gathered together in the hollow of the lower camp, and no more pretense was necessary. "we will honor ivystripe for who she was. a loyal quickclan cat, who wanted the best for this clan, no matter what. she had a good sense of humor, and was an extremely gifted medicine cat. for that, no cat could ever blame her." towards the center of the clearing, falconfligt had wrapped his body around cyanslash's smaller form, the pair of mates crying together. blizzardrush sat close to them, his head bowed. patchwing, berrypad, gorsepaw, and brightpaw, remained huddled together with hollow eyes, and so on, as redstar continued. "however, we are in need of a new medicine cat. i will ask starclan at the moonpool to send us a healer in our time of need. hopefully, with the guidance of our ancestors, ivystripe included, we will be safe." murmurs passed throughout the clan.
nearby, she heard brackenrose whisper to blizzardrush, "we're still in mourning... isn't it too early for a new medicine cat to replace ivystripe?" and sweetecho found herself agreeing. it was too soon. ivystripe had only just died, and she was still grooming her blood from her pelt. it felt hasty, but redstar paced through the cats and stopped when he reached sootstone. redstar whispered several words to the dark gray tom, who nodded in turn. sweetecho watched while sootstone weaved between the warriors, sending several of them towards the entrance to the camp - those who appeared to be composed enough to patrol, she supposed.
however, it was gorsepaw who stepped in redstar's path, having brushed past his friends and mentor. "redstar," the young apprentice spoke up, catching the clan's attention once more. they all knew gorsepaw as a generally nervous cat, who twitched and was rumored to be a poor apprentice because of his anxiety. "i would like to help this new medicine cat as their apprentice."
immediately, attention turned from gorsepaw to blizzardrush, who looked up at redstar. "gorsepaw came to me about it, and said he was interested. i told him to speak to ivystripe but..." he broke into a choked sound, and splashfall pressed his flank to the white warrior.
in response, redstar looked back to gorsepaw with a slight nod. "alright, gorsepaw. when the medicine cat comes, i will allow you to speak with them about becoming their apprentice."
