(This moon; the night before their apprenticeship)
Sharkkit, Splashkit, Comfreykit, Fernkit, Albatrosskit
Five gray-furred kittens looked at each other in confusion as they came upon each other on a dimly-lit clearing. One of them, a solid gray tom-kit, asked hesitantly, "Splashkit? Comfreykit? Fernkit? Albatrosskit?" The one to his immediate right, one with a splash of white on his chest, confirmed the kit's suspicions, "Yeah, it's us, Sharkkit." "I was dreaming," Splashkit, a solid gray she-kit, blinked, "and I was chasing a butterfly!" Fernkit, the one who had spoken earlier, nodded, "I was too, but I was dreaming about chasing a mouse." Comfreykit, the thoughtful of the five siblings, remarked softly, "So this could be one of those 'shared dreams' Dappledawn was telling me-" "Oh, for StarClan's sake!" Splashkit growled, rolling her eyes, "Comfreykit, stop being boring and pretending to be a medicine cat." "But what if she's right?" Albatrosskit, whose pelt was almost identical to Fernkit's, asked, face scrunched up in concentration, "we all remember our dreams, and we aren't in our dens with Goosewing."

At that point, a bush to the left of the kits stirred, sending the five tumbling backwards in fright. A shorthaired solid gray tom, who looked exactly like Sharkkit, loomed over the five kittens, his green eyes studying them carefully. A fluffy black tom, a Maine Coon, appeared behind the gray tom, remarking, "Well, he sure looks just like you." Having recovered first, Splashkit boldly got to her paws and asked, "Who are you?" Fernkit's fur fluffed in fear, but he shouted bravely, "Yeah! We are proud SeaClan kittens!" Chuckling goodnaturedly, the solid gray tom meowed, "You all seem to have the fierceness I had in life, for certain." "....had?" Comfreykit echoed, eyes wide as saucers, "are you a StarClan cat, sir?" The black tom beside the gray tom snorted as the gray tom shook his head, "Definitely not. There are spirits of cats who do not stay with StarClan." Comfreykit's fur fluffed in fear as she backed away, yowling, "Guys, back off, these are Dark Forest cats!" Sharkkit stood to his full height (which wasn't much, to be fair) and squared his shoulders, meowing as bravely as he could muster, "I'm not scared of you!" The two Dark Forest cats chuckled again at his false bravado, before the black tom remarked:

"Stormfang, let me say it again. They certainly are your kits."

Stormfang
The solid gray tom glanced at his darker-furred companion before meowing, "Ravenwish, I'd like a private moment or two with my kits." The Maine Coon glanced toward the five SeaClan kits, who were staring at the solid gray tom in astonishment, then back at Stormfang. Ravenwish gave a nod, meowing, "Right boss," and took his leave. Once he was alone, the former SeaClan deputy padded toward his kits, meowing, "Goosewing tried to protect your reputation, my little ones." "....But Stormbreeze is our father?" Albatrosskit asked, confused, "that's what Goosewing said!" "Stormfang," Comfreykit breathed, trembling, "he was the one who killed Brightstream, became deputy in her place, and killed many others like Dappledawn's brother, Fogkit!" Fernkit gasped, "And Ravenwish is the one who killed Fernstrike, who I was named after!" Stormfang frowned. Goosewing had taken drastic measures, it seemed, to make sure that her kits would not be associated with the likes of him. Stormfang repeated calmly, "Your mother tried not to have the Clan know you were my kits." Comfreykit breathed, "That can't be-" only to be interrupted by Splashkit, who looked rather interested, "-but it makes sense! Don't you see?" She pointed a paw at Sharkkit, meowing excitedly, "Sharkkit here looks exactly like Stormfang!" Sharkkit whirled around to face Splashkit, shock in his green eyes. He demanded, "Take that back!" Splashkit backed away in fear, though she shouted, "But it's true!"

Stormfang coughed politely and meowed, "I was hoping to clear some misconceptions about me as well." All five of his kits fell silent as the former SeaClan deputy continued, "I didn't have a choice at the time. Brightstream was a good cat," he admitted, though grudgingly, "a fair-minded deputy. But she dared to mate with a cat who was not in SeaClan at the time, named Vinescratch." Comfreykit opened her mouth to protest, but Splashkit gave her a glare, at which she closed her mouth again. "...As I was saying," Stormfang meowed, "That meant she had broken the warrior code, as a cat must be loyal to his or Clan first, and, although we are allowed to make friends in other Clans, we must always be prepared for battling against them as well." Fernkit meowed quietly, "But Brightstream didn't. She didn't break the code." Stormfang narrowed his eyes and asked, a low growl escaping from his throat, "Who told you this?" The gray tom-kit flinched under Stormfang's gaze and refused to answer; instead, Sharkkit meowed bravely, "Goosewing did." "Goosewing?" Stormfang echoed; he hadn't expected for his mate to have told their kits about all of what had happened, in Leafstar's point of view. Sharkkit nodded boldly and growled, his brothers matching his protective stance in front of Comfreykit and Splashkit, "You may be our real father, but whatever you say, we are never helping you do anything to hurt SeaClan." Albatrosskit nodded, "Yeah! We are going to be proud SeaClan apprentices for sure!"

Sharkkit, Splashkit, Comfreykit, Fernkit, Albatrosskit
Stormfang sighed and meowed, "Suit yourselves." The solid gray tom then turned his back onto them, adding over his shoulder, "You haven't seen the last of me, my kits." The former SeaClan deputy then lashed his tail before disappearing into the bushes. Ravenwish, the black Maine Coon from earlier, poked his head out of the same bushes to stare at the five kits before he, too, disappeared.

Sharkkit let out a deep sigh. Turning to face his littermates, the gray tom-kit warned, "Tomorrow's our apprenticeship ceremonies. We shouldn't tell mama about this tomorrow." Splashkit nodded, narrowing her eyes, "Of course. But this makes me wonder...." "Does it matter?" Comfreykit asked quietly, causing all four of her siblings to stare at her, "I mean, sure, our dad was a murderer and got exiled for it, but if the other Clan cats don't know that, would it matter?" Splashkit shrugged, "Well, I mean, I think we should somehow wake up in the real world soon... right?" "Right," Fernkit nodded, "at least I hope so..."

(The next day)
Sharkkit/paw
Sharkkit jolted awake, cold sweat glistening on his brow. Looking around in the dim recesses of the nursery cave, he saw that all four of his siblings were slowly starting to awaken. A few fox tail-lengths away, he saw his mother, Goosewing, in a deep, hushed conversation with Stormbreeze and Mintnose. Gulping as he remembered what Stormfang had told him in the dream, the solid gray tom-kit signaled to his littermates to keep their heads down and be quiet. They did as told, though all had confused looks on their faces. Sharkkit squirmed out of the nest as quietly as he could and crept toward the adult felines in conversation, until he got to a better place to listen to them.

"Shall we tell them?" Goosewing was asking Stormbreeze and Mintnose, as she pawed at the earth uncomfortably. "No," Stormbreeze answered, shaking his head firmly, "definitely not." "We will be fine," Mintnose assured the solid gray queen, "we promise." Stormbreeze meowed quietly, forcing Sharkkit to stretch to hear what he said next, "We came out from the shadow of Stormfang's reign and influence just a few short moons ago. Remember Sagefrost? How grateful she looked when she was given Campionpaw as her apprentice?" Mintnose added, "We can't let them judge you and your kits because of that tyrant." Goosewing sighed and mewed, "It's just wrong.... maybe..." she took a deep breath and asked, "maybe it's time we should tell the kits?" Mintnose growled softly, "Even more no!" Stormbreeze soothed, "I promise, them talking about me and me leaving you for Mintnose is nothing compared to the trauma your kits will go through when they realized their father was responsible for killing so many!"

Sharkkit had heard enough. He motioned for his siblings to join him as he meowed out loud, "We know!" It didn't matter that he'd just told his siblings in the dream not to tell anyone about it, but they had to know now. And it certainly didn't matter that the other queens and kits were within hearing distance either.

The three gray adult cats turned around and stared at Sharkkit and his siblings, as they came to stand right next to them. Goosewing asked, eyes wide, "You know?" Stormbreeze added, incredulity in his eyes, "How?" Sharkkit took a deep breath to reply, but his sister Splashkit had beat him to it. Splashkit gushed, "He came in our dreams last night! Him and another cat called Ravenwish. And Stormfang said that he was our dad, not Stormbreeze!" Sharkkit glared at his sister and growled, "Shhhh!" When Splashkit fell silent, the solid gray tom-kit continued, "And he tried to justify his actions to us. We didn't buy it," he added defiantly, "that what he did could have made sense." Fernkit added quietly, his eyes lowering to the floor, "I say we tell the truth, mama." Albatrosskit nodded, "I mean, I think everyone here already heard about it...."

"Is this true?" A voice came from behind the kits, as the shocked faces of Rippleheart, Nightwing, Bellcloud, Brimflower, and Fritilarytail emerged from the dim recesses of the cave. Nightwing, the one who had spoken earlier, pressed, "is it true that they are really Stormfang's kits, Goosewing?" "Y... Yes," Goosewing replied, stammering, "I didn't want them to have to face the truth..." Stormbreeze defended the solid gray queen, meowing firmly, "It was really my idea. Since I look so much alike Stormfang, and share similar names, I thought to protect her kits from whatever backlash they may get in the future." Bellcloud breathed, eyes wide, "But then that means..." "It means nothing," Softdawn's voice came from behind the queens; the calico she-cat's blind brown eyes seemed to stare straight at the queens, as if she could see them, as she meowed, "That shouldn't matter to us SeaClan cats." Sharkkit squared his chest and declared proudly, "I'm a SeaClan cat, through and through. And so are my brothers and sisters." Albatrosskit, too, stood up at his brother's side as he added, "Yeah! And we will be the toughest and the most loyal warriors the Clan has ever seen!" Eyes gleaming in excitement, Fernkit meowed, "It doesn't matter who our real dad is! Stormbreeze has been a good father figure for us, and that's enough!" Fritilarytail meowed, nodding, "The kits are right. We shouldn't judge anyone because of who their birth father is." Nightwing nodded firmly, "And we shouldn't judge any cats without learning about what they are truly about in the first place." Rippleheart meowed briskly, after a few moments of uneasy silence passed, "Well kits, you are to be apprenticed later today. You should get yourselves looking like proper big cats now." Successfully distracted, Sharkkit yelled, "Yeah! We are going to be apprentices!" and allowed his mother to herd him and his siblings back to their nest.

(Later that day, some time before sunhigh)
Leafstar
The sandy brown tabby tom turned to face his mate, Whiterose, as she prepared to head to the nursery cave to bring Goosewing and her apprentice-aged kits into the main camp. Taking a deep breath, Leafstar meowed, "Whiterose." His white-furred mate blinked, "Yes?" "I think it's time for you to learn the truth about Goosewing's kits." "They aren't Stormbreeze's," Whiterose meowed, shrugging, "I know. It's Stormfang, isn't it?" Her question startled Leafstar as the SeaClan leader asked, incredulity in his voice, "How did you know?" "You can't fool us queens and former queens for long," Whiterose replied; the white she-cat's gray eyes seemed to darken as she fretted, "The rest of the Clan will see young Sharkkit and learn the truth anyway. The way they look..." Leafstar nodded quietly, "Stormbreeze told me that the kits were informed of their true heritage by a shared dream from their father, who seems to be in the Dark Forest now." Whiterose breathed, "So he's no longer in the world of the living." Leafstar shook his head, "He may not be physically here with us now, but he'll continue to try to influence his kits throughout their lives." Whiterose offered, "I can mentor one of them if you like?" The sandy brown tabby tom sighed, "I've already promised them to other cats." His mate's ears drooped somewhat at the mention of them being mentored by someone else, but she nodded in acknowledgement. Leafstar promised, "There's nineteen kits in the nursery who will be needing mentors in three moons, Whiterose. One of them will be your apprentice." Whiterose brightened at once as she mewed, "Thank you." The white she-cat then flicked her tail in farewell as she took her leave toward the secondary camp they now used as the nursery cave.

Whiterose, Honeytuft, Dappledawn, Sandripple
Honeytuft halted Whiterose on her way out of camp, meowing, "Wait!" The she-cat paused and meowed, turning around, "Yes Honeytuft?" "There's something I must say to you." Whiterose nodded and followed the honey-colored tabby tom into his den. Inside, she found herself face to face with the other two medicine cats, who dipped their heads in greeting, as Honeytuft meowed, "You should have heard the news from Leafstar." Dappledawn added, "Stormfang is dead, and is now in the Dark Forest." Sandripple meowed quietly, "I've only met him once, and I knew he was bad news from the start. Your Clan is in danger," the former RidgeClan medicine cat meowed firmly, his gaze intensifying, "Stormfang already has a kit he has marked as his successor in this world. We must find out who that is, and protect him or her from his influence." Before Whiterose could ask the many questions screaming in her mind, Dappledawn pressed, "This can mean the end of SeaClan if he succeeds." Honeytuft concluded grimly, "Please promise to keep a close eye on all five of Goosewing's kits." Whiterose gulped and nodded.

(At sunhigh)
Leafstar
Leafstar called, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here, underneath the Meeting Ledge, for a Clan meeting!" All activity ceased as SeaClan cats paused at his call. Soon, however, the cats of SeaClan gathered to hear Leafstar speak. The sandy brown tabby tom glanced down, and, near the front of the crowd, he could see the well-groomed furs of the five kits of Goosewing and Stormfang, and briefly smiled. "Today, we are gathered to celebrate the coming of apprentice age of five of our kits!" Whoops of delight came from the current apprentices, who were eager to meet their nursery playmates train alongside them. Stifling a chuckle, Leafstar continued, "Sharkkit, Splashkit, Comfreykit, Fernkit, and Albatrosskit, come forward please." The five kits came to stand in front of him as the sandy brown tabby tom continued, "From this day forth, until you have earned your warrior names, you shall be known as Sharkpaw, Splashpaw, Comfreypaw, Fernpaw, and Albatrosspaw." Sweeping his leaf-green gaze across his beloved Clan, Leafstar meowed, spotting a certain longhaired gray tom sitting next to his ginger and white-pelted sister near the middle of the crowd, "Thistletuft will be mentor to Sharkpaw." All eyes trained on the gray warrior as he stood up, shock on his face. Hollyspots grinned and nudged her speechless brother forward, and Thistletuft shakily came to meet the solid gray apprentice. Leafstar meowed solemnly, "Thistletuft, you are an excellent hunter and fighter, and I hope that you pass everything you know down to young Sharkpaw." The young gray tom seemed to gather his wits about him again as he dipped his head before turning to his new apprentice. Sharkpaw and Thistletuft touched noses with each other, and the two came to stand a little off to the side.

Leafstar continued, "Morningflame will be mentor to Splashpaw." The former MistClan warrior jumped on his paws and exclaimed, bewildered, "Me, Leafstar?" The sandy brown tabby tom nodded and meowed, "You have proven yourself a true member of our Clan, and are very fleet of foot. I hope that you pass everything you know down to young Splashpaw." The ginger tom came to meet the solid gray she-cat slowly, and touched noses with her. He then mouthed, "Thank you!" to Leafstar before he went to stand next to Thistletuft and Sharkpaw with his own apprentice. The SeaClan leader took a deep breath as he glanced in Goosewing's direction before calling solemnly, "Comfreypaw." The gray she-cat came forward as Leafstar called, "Honeytuft." Every cat held their breath as the honey-colored medicine cat stepped forward to stand at the gray apprentice. Leafstar meowed, "Comfreypaw has expressed her wishes of learning to become a medicine cat apprentice, and Honeytuft here says that he will gladly take her." Honeytuft dipped his head toward Goosewing as he meowed, "I promise to teach her well in the ways of the medicine cat." Mentor and apprentice came to touch noses with each other, and as with the other two before them, Honeytuft took his new apprentice to stand at Morningflame and Splashpaw's side.

Leafstar meowed, "Hollyspots." The ginger-and-white she-cat looked utterly shocked at the mention of her name as the sandy brown tabby tom continued, "You have the courage of a lion, and the ferocity of a shark, but also the gentleness of a mother, and you are perfect for Fernpaw. Please pass down all you know to him." The younger ginger-and-white warrior met with Fernpaw as he shakily came to stand in front of her. Hollyspots seemed to murmur a few words to Fernpaw, at which he relaxed somewhat, and Leafstar saw that both cats touched noses without incident. 'One last apprentice remains,' the SeaClan leader thought to himself as he turned to face Albatrosspaw, left alone in the center of the gathered Clan. Leafstar called, "Goshawkflight." This seemed to be a popular choice as many of the Clan cats mouthed congratulations to the black tabby tom, who had a bewildered look on his face. "Goshawkflight," Leafstar called again, prompting the warrior to step forward, "you helped restore SeaClan to its peaceful ways, and we are all grateful for the role you played then. I hope that you pass all you know down to young Albatrosspaw." Albatrosspaw excitedly reached forward to touch noses with Goshawkflight, who then took his apprentice back to where the other four mentors and apprentices were.

The SeaClan camp then erupted into loud shouts of joy, "Sharkpaw! Splashpaw! Comfreypaw! Fernpaw! Albatrosspaw!"

(That night)
Palekit, Grasskit
"Hey," Grasskit, a brown tabby tom-kit, whispered, nudging Palekit, a pale brown tabby she-kit, "you asleep?" Fritilarytail's daughter yawned as she replied back, "No... You?" Bellcloud's son replied in the negative before he asked, curiosity alight in his eyes, "Hey, wanna go exploring with me?" "Where?" Palekit asked, excitement glimmering in her eyes. Grasskit replied, "Outside, of course!" "Won't we get caught?" Palekit fretted; her dark-furred companion shook his head, leading her toward the entrance of the nursery cave, "Nah. And I just saw Ivynose heading back to camp, meaning we got some time before my Dad comes in to guard the camp. They won't notice us gone." Palekit smiled mischievously as she mewed, "The others will be so jealous of us!"

The Pine Grove stood to the left of the kits as they tumbled out of the nursery cave. Taking one look at it, Grasskit squeaked, "Okay, maybe not that way at night. But maybe the other way?" "Yeah!" Palekit nodded and the two began running in the other direction, not knowing that they would soon head onto the clifftop.

Palekit skidded to a halt as Grasskit did. The ground suddenly seemed to end as the kits stared over the edge of the cliff. The night sea looked scarier than anything the two kits had ever seen before. The two kits backed away in fear, being careful not to be close to the edge, before Grasskit squeaked, "Let's play 'Chase the Mouse'." "Here?" Palekit asked, eyes wide with fear, "that's what mama called 'cliff'. It's really dangero-" "Ah come on," Grasskit rolled his eyes (if cats could that is) and meowed, "it'll be fun! We won't even get close to the edge!" Palekit sighed, "okay."

It wasn't long before the two forgot their fear and began chasing after each other in earnest. Their laughter did not carry over to the nursery cave, though one other cat heard it, and came running to see what was happening.

Splashpaw
After Morningflame had dismissed her for the night, the gray she-cat felt she needed to take a walk to think things over. Splashpaw gave a soft sigh as she left for the Pine Grove, assuring Carrotfur, the guard tonight, that she wouldn't be going into the forest, but skirting around the edges before scooting back into camp. The gray she-cat then started to head toward the nursery cave, knowing everyone was asleep there, and therefore, she could think near the cave in relative peace and quiet. The moon overhead was a brilliant white, and the landscape about her had turned into silver, wherever the moon's rays touched.

"Gotcha!" Splashpaw halted. A kit's voice had shouted from nearby, "now you're the mouse!" Another one, which she recognized as Palekit's voice, came as well, "Aw come on!" Splashpaw frowned. They were only three moons old, but were outside? She then decided to take things into her own paws and began to pad over toward the cliff, where the kits were playing, seemingly oblivious to the dangers of the area they were in.

"H-help!"

Splashpaw froze. It was Grasskit's terrified yowl. Forcing herself to calm down, Splashpaw rushed forward into the moonlit surface of the cliff, only to witness something straight out of a nightmare. The brown tom-kit was nowhere to be seen, with Palekit dangling precariously on the edge. The solid gray apprentice shoured, "What's happening?" "I accidentally pushed Grasskit too close to the edge!" cried Palekit, sobbing as she held onto Grasskit for dear life, "I'm sorry! We don't want to be out here anymore!" Splashpaw rushed to help, seeing that Palekit, too, was slowly slipping toward the edge herself.

Just as Splashpaw caught Palekit by the scruff, the she-kit let out a shocked yowl as Grasskit let go of her. Both she-cats stared at the sea below as Grasskit let out a terrified yowl before he was lost to the sea. Splashpaw knew she couldn't hold onto to Palekit anymore, as her strength wasn't enough to hold her by the scruff, but she held on as much as she could.

"Let go," Stormfang's voice startled the solid gray apprentice, "she's not worth you risking your life." "B-" Splashpaw started to protest, but at that time, her jaws lost their grip on Palekit, and the she-kit, too, tumbled down the cliff into the sea. Splashpaw cried in horror, "StarClan no!" She whirled around and saw the fading outline of her father. The Dark Forest cat's eyes gleamed in the pale moonlight for a moment before he disappeared, though he did leave her a message: "Splashpaw, be strong. You and I will make SeaClan great once more." The gray she-cat then turned away and began running toward the main camp blindly, hot tears coursing through her cheeks.

It wasn't my fault!

P e b b l e C l a n
number of cats: sixty-four
[ thirty-one ♂ - thirty-three ♀ ]

Poppyflower burst into camp with her tail lashing, emitting a yowl of attention that brought all but the kits out into the center of the camp. Behind her were four exhausted cats drenched in blood. One of them, Heatherpond, was only able to stumble a few more steps before collapsing into the sand.
"Mooseheart, Jayfrost! Pick up Heatherpond and take her to the Medicine Cat Den. Pinedust, help Whitewing into there as well. Everyone else needs to get checked over by me or Olivestar." The Deputy meowed, turning to leader as she came out of her den. "The scent led to an entire camp of rouges, we were immensely outnumbered. We fought as hard as we could, Lynxtuft, Featherwhisker, and I didn't gave more wounds than we received. Heatherpond and Whitewing were ganged up on and suffered rough attacks.." She explained, growing unease as Olivestar looked over each of the cats in the group. "Where is Batwing?" She questioned, looking down at Poppyflower in worry.
"He was taken by the rouges!" Lynxtuft interrupted, dragging his claws along the sand in anger. "They took him hostage and demanded we give them prey in order to get him back!"
Not a sound could be heard once Lynxtuft had finished speaking, the silence weighing down like a thick fog. Olivestar was beyond shocked, and she thought carefully before speaking again. "Then we will get him back, with whatever it takes. I want the three of you to clean your wounds off while I check on Heatherpond and Whitewing. When I get out I'll call a clan meeting. Pansyspots! Your vigil is over, tell Brackenpaw to meet me in the Medicine Cat Den and then go rest."

Splashpelt was tending to Whitewing when Olivestar and the tiny folded ear apprentice came into the den, gasping in shock once his eyes landed on his wounded mother. "Heatherpond!" He squealed, cautiously rushing towards her with soothing licks to the ears. "Is she going to be okay?" He asked, looking towards Cloudwing with wide, sad eyes. "She will heal in no time, she just needs some rest right now, and your comfort. Stay clear of her belly while the herbs are at work, but other than that she needs your attention." The younger Medicine Cat responded, continuing to help with Whitewing's injured eye as Splashpelt moved to speak with Olivestar. "I heard Lynxtuft's outburst in the clearing, it's easy to understand why he is angry. What are you going to do?" She asked, keeping an eye on Heatherpond as her son slowly scooted into the nest beside her. "Batwing's safety is the most important thing, so I'm going to give them what they want in order to get him back. But we still can't have the rouges so close to camp." She meowed, nodding a greeting to Poppyflower as the Deputy entered the den. "I agree. We have have so many kits and kits on the way, we can't afford to have these aggressive rogues near our territory. Something will have to be done, and soon."

"All cats old enough to hunt for prey, gather for a clan meeting!"
Olivestar stood at the top of the beaver dam, Poppyshadow sitting on one of the lower ledges in silence as the clan gathered around. "As you know, a few of our clanmates bravely went to investigate a rogue scent and were ambushed. Batwing, one of our warriors, was taken hostage. Its demanded that we give the rogues four pieces of prey in order to get him back. Tonight, we will do just that. If you would like to be part of the patrol that brings Batwing home safely, gather near the entrance of camp once this clan meeting is over. There will be no hostility tonight, we don't need any more of our warriors coming home injured." She meowed, wrapping a tail around her paws as a few warriors perked up with the idea of getting to go retrieve their clanmate. "With that being said.. we can not afford to be docile forever. After tonight we will beginning planning an attack on the rogues to chase them out of the territory. We will attack in one moon, and we will show those rogues what happens when brave, StarClan protected, PebbleClan warriors are are threatened."

Weather - Leaf-Bare
Winter. Or so the older cats say.
The younger cats are not so certain. Where are the
shortages? Where are the vicious predators? Where are the
floods, the frost, the snow?
No. This can't be winter. Autumn has just extended a little
longer than usual.
The older cats just rebut that it's a mild start, and that
winter truly will start in a few moons, but how can that be so?
There's no signs of any of the normal cruelties that winter
brings yet... They tell of how winter sometimes can be mild and
unassuming, and yet it snaps suddenly, bringing the unwary to
their demise, through tough kittings, lack of food, floods, cold,
sickness, or predator. Winter has a thousand tricks, and a cat's
guard must never fall.

[ While patrolling the island, Meadowstar sees a flash of a bushy tail through some shrubs, accompanied by a rather distinctive stench! She's sure it's a fox, and, about to act on this information, a large, ginger warrior stalks out towards her. They're also covered in fox-scent, and it's absolutely vile. It'll take at least two herbs - ideally perfume-based herbs to clear the stench off of their coat fully and Meadowstar's sure no one will be able to stand the stench for more than three moons if it's still not out by then.

Aaaa, Normally the rolls would have been square within being nice bounds? You just clipped getting some food, just clipped getting a new cat, and would have got a warrior within that...

Squirrelheart climbed up the frosted stones. The air had gotten colder since Thistlepaw and Cherrypaw joined StarClan. It was as if the whole world was grieving, and freezing over as a result. It hadn't properly snowed yet, but she could scent the cold flakes would be soon to arrive. Her breath fogged up around her muzzle as she trekked up the slope. She had to survive this, she had an important task. She was going to tell Stormfang how she really felt today. The she-cat had a crush on the grey tom since they were apprentices, but she never had anough courage to admit it to him until now. Love seemed to be in the air. All of the kits were out of the nursery and Rabbitspark was exoecting Cindertail's litter. Fognose and Swiftwind were spending more time with eachother, Batfur and Quailthroat were being more affectionate towards eachother (even though they couldn't have more kits), Astercry and Weaselfur kept muttering about close friends from other Clans, and Squirrelheart had heard Ravencloud talk in her sleep about Vipersun. She wasn't afraid of rejection. He clearly liked her. Why else would Adderbreeze be talking to him so much? She was dropping hints to Stormfang about her love. She was a good sister.

Squirrelheart had reached the summit. She took a deep breath and continued into the den. The air inside was freezing! There was no sign of life anywhere and if it weren't for a small snoring noise, one could think the bear deserted his home. Wait. A snoring noise? Squirrelheart looked around, spotting a shadowy mass rising and falling in rhythm with the snoring. Squirrelheart took a few slow steps forward. Parting her jaws to scent the air, she approached the figure. It reeked of bear scent. It was the bear! It was asleep. Squirrelheart tilted her head and walked cautiously around the bear's back to face it. It's eyes were sealed shut and it's breath billowed from his nose. The breaths it took were deep and calm. Squirrelheart used a paw to prod the bear's muzzle. She darted back into the shadows, expecting the beast to jump up and clap its jaws around her body. But it never happened. The bear didn't even shift, just continued resting. Squirrelheart furrowed her brow. What was she to do now? She shrugged and left the den happily, heading home.

"Yea, the beast's probably hibernating." Vipersun agreed. Squirrelheart had made it home safely and explained to the Clan what she saw. Slatestar seemed relieved. "Well, then there's no use to send up cats until he's awake, is there." Slatestar grinned "So, the drawing shall be on pause until I give the word." Vipersun glared at the leader. "Or you could just stop to begin with." He growled. Slatestar rose to his paws and turned away from the pale ginger tom. "I'm not arguing with you again, Vipersun. You know my paws are tied." Slatestar warned. "A cowards answer." the warrior huffed, rolling his eyes "You haven't fought the bear. You don't know what it's like." Slatestar turned to face him, a fed-up look on his face. "And you have? As I recall, Vipersun, only four cats have challenged the bear. And you are not one of them." The leader retorted. "Don't run your mouth unless you know you can win." With that, Slatestar retired to his den, Vipersun heatedly following him. Squirrelheart just blinked. Not her business. She spotted her sister and ran up to her. "Hey, Adderbreeze!" She called. Her sister smiled and waited for the she-cat to reach her. "What's up, Squirrelheart? I heard about the bear. You must be happy." Adderbreeze giggled. Squirrelheart giggled back. "Yea. Hey, listen," She meowed. lowering her voice and stepping closer "I wanted to ask Stormfang something. Do you know where he is?" Adderbreeze tilted her head. "I believe he's on a patrol at the moment." She recalled "What did you want to say?" Squirrelheart shifted her paws nervously, licking her lips. "Well. I wanted to tell him..." She trailed off, making her sister lean closer "I wanted to tell him that I love him!" Squirrelheart's mouth turned into a wide smile. Adderbreeze smiled back, joy in her eyes. "That's great, Squirrelheart! I can go find him if you want." She offered. "Would you?" Squirrelheart gasped "That would be amazing, thank you so much, Adderbreeze!" Adderbreeze walked passed her, making her way to the entrance. "Anything for my sister."

~~~~~~

Adderbeeze couldn't feel her legs. Her chest was tight and she was freaking out. She ran through the forest, tracking Stormfang's scent. She leaped over creeping roots and slippery pebbles, eventually reaching where the tom and his patrol was marking the border. She burst through the ferns, panting and staring at Stormfang wide-eyed. He noticed, rushing over to her. "Is everything okay?" He worried, checking her over for injuries or hints to what she was thinking. "I-I need to talk to you." She choked out. Stormfang nodded to Batfur, Wasppaw, and Cindertail, telling them to go on without him. They wandered away, leaving the two cats alone. Stormfang wrapped his tail around Adderbreeze's, pulling her close. But she pulled away. "What is it, love?" Stormfang murmured in her ear. Adderbreeze flattened her ears. "Please don't call me that." She whispered. Hurt flashed in Stormfang's golden eyes. "B-But-" He stuttered, being cut off by the she-cat. "Squirrelheart wants to be your mate." She told him, voice burdened with sadness "She's going to ask you when you get back to camp." Stormfang shook his head "But I don't like her. Well, I mean she's a great friend but," he meowed, pulling her close again "I love you." Adderbreeze couldn't help but let a few tears slip down her cheeks. "And I love you too. But Squirrelheart loves you just as much as I do, possibly more." Stormfang rolled his eyes, moving away. "Well, I'm not going to accept. I won't be mates with someone I hardly like." He muttered. Adderbeeze felt horror set in. "You have to!" She gasped, placing her paw on his shoulder. Stormfang turned around, confusion in his eyes. "Why?" He meowed. Adderbreeze took a deep breath. The thought alone made her want to burst out sobbing and cling to Stormfang forever. "Because. She's so blinded by her feelings she'd be heartbroken if we were together. She would hate me. She would never love again. And I could never do that to her. She's my sister." She protested. Stormfang growled. "You think that she's so great?" He growled to her "She would never do the same for you in the same situation. She's greedy Adderbeeeze. She'll do whatever it takes to get to me. I'll never be her mate." Adderbreeze was shocked at his harsh words. "Stormfang how could you?" She hissed "Squirrelheart is an amazing she-cat! But she needs someone to love!" Stormfang lashed his tail. "If she's so amazing, she'll find a suitable mate. I want you Adderbreeze! I love you too much to let you go!" He shouted. Adderbreeze just opened and closed her mouth, at a loss for words. The tom sighed. He saw the pure emotion and pleading in her eyes. Stormfang walked up to her, nuzzling her. She melted into him and licked his cheek. "If you love me, Stormfang, please, please do this for me." She murmured to him, closing her eyes and enjoying his scent while it lasted. The tom licked her ears lovingly. "I do love you, Adderbeeze. I always have, and I always will. I will accept, for you. I won't be able to love Squirrelheart, but if it makes you happy, I'll do it. I love you with all my heart, never forget that." Adderbreeze sighed, letting several tears escape her eyes. "Thank you. I love you so much." She purred. Stormfang pulled away slightly and grinned down mischeiviously at her. "But before I accept, I'd like to spend one more day of reckless fun with you, if that's okay." He purred quietly, licking her nose. Adderbreeze giggled. "I think that'd be great."

mother wolf, father wolf, thank you.

indent

ah, it sure is a good day for relaxation . . .

i don't think they would please with spending time doing nothing, so we must do something.

oh, freki, dear, always wanting to be in the path of alignment . . . always wanting to please the gods. what is it with you guys?

we should go, the three are probably waiting for us.

indent

up for a hunt this time of day?

you said we should please the deities, so i think we should.

yes, we should . . . but we should go to base first.

indent

you're finally back!

indent

oh you're back, freki?

finally am, glad to be. how are you holding up, eira?

i've been doing better . . . i've just been feeling useless since i can't hunt or help with anything, i bet the the deities are upset for that accident my foolish self made.

don't say that, eira. don't look down on yourself for that, it was an accident and you didn't do it with intention. i'm sure sól and máni care much about it, you're going to be okay.

thank you, freki, but i'm sure others will not feel the same like you . . .

indent

freki! we're going to hunt, you comin'?

𝔾ℝ𝕆𝕍𝔼ℂ𝕃𝔸ℕ !!
# of cats; 24 (♀: 11 / ♂: 13)
servings consumed; 5 servings
next moonpool visit; 28/08 onward

𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕞𝕠𝕠𝕟 𝕒𝕘𝕠,
Ashenstrike's paws crumpled leaves underfoot, crushing them with sharp rustles as he made his way back toward camp. His head felt heavy. Harder than it looks to lie, he thought to himself wryly, go figure that one. He ducked under some shrubbery, branches scraping against his back in a comforting manner. The pressure helped, and he missed it when he finally straightened to his full height in a clearing beyond it. He scented Lionheart- fresh, nearby- and his heart twinged with painful regret. Lying to her was the worst of it, really.
But there was something else. Sharper, stronger, more recent. Like Lionheart, but without the earthen vein that ran common among GroveClan cats. This one smelt more like travel, like... the massive tom shouldering his way into the clearing. Ashenstrike shrunk back on himself. He had long since been regarded as one of the biggest cats in the clan: he was tall and stocky, and his jovial personality made him a big presence. Then it was considered to be Flintburr, still tall but a little slinkier than both he and Lionheart, whose strength rivaled his own easily, even if she lacked an inch or two on him at the shoulder. This tom made Ashenstrike feel like a kit again; not only was he tall and muscle-bound, short coat slightly haggard in a way that suggested a long pilgrimage, he also carried a dignified air, like that of a leader much older than that of GroveClan.
"Hey," he managed, sharp and abrupt enough to make the massive tom's golden eyes swivel to him, "this is clan territory. What do you want?" His fur bristled. He regretted, almost instantly, the decision to square off with this cat. Even tired and hungry as the unfamiliar tom likely was, his muscles rippled under his fur, and Ashenstrike had no illusions. If he chose to attack, the grey tom could go down fighting, but he would go down.
"I mean no trouble," the cat said, voice calm and oddly familiar, "I thought I scented something familiar in your territory. I apologize for trespassing but it was... important."
"Like what?" Ashenstrike asked, suspiciously. The great tom paused, hesitant. He cleared his throat, and Ashenstrike could have sworn he heard his voice waver just a little. "Like..."
"Roseclaw?" The tom didn't get time to finish his thought. Lionheart's voice struck Ashenstrike like a well-placed kicked to the chest. So breathy. So hopeful. The tom spun, amber eyes wide with recognition. Ashenstrike watched Lionheart's own widen in surprise, before she let out a gleeful yowl and bolted forward, away from a bewildered Shadowtail and their two young apprentices. She met the large tom in two easy steps, winding around him with a delighted purr. Ashenstrike was sure the tom- Roseclaw, her brother, he reminded himself- could shake the earth with the force of his returning purr.
"I knew it," he was definitely choked up, and unashamed of it, "I knew I scented you. Lionheart, oh, I was so worried you were dead. I'm so sorry for leaving you, it was foolish of me." Lionheart headbutted his shoulder, with a strangled laugh, her emotions bubbling and welling up over her stoic exterior. "Shut up," she purred, "I thought you were dead. You have no idea how happy I am to see you. After you went back, I couldn't find you, and I-"
"I know," he pressed their foreheads together, and Ashenstrike caught Shadowtail ushering the apprentices back to camp quietly. They bounded off, and she circled the clearing to stand next to the grey tom, watching the siblings reunite. He could see Lionheart's shoulders shaking with silent sobs, and he ached to go to her, but he was acutely aware now more than ever that that wasn't his place. After a long period of silence, Lionheart finally spoke again:
"The others?" Roseclaw shook his head, squeezing his eyes shut. Lionheart let out a shuddery sigh, and a hiccuped sob. "I thought so. I had hoped... but I think... Adderbite?" She didn't seem able to finish her thought, and Roseclaw stepped around her so that she could lean her full body weight on him, his jaw rested atop her head. "I saw him escape with the kits. Marigoldleaf died with mother, defending the nursery." Lionheart made a choked noise that sounded almost like a laugh.
"Of course she couldn't just stay retired," she said, and Roseclaw let out a wheezing chuckle, leaning on his sister. Lionheart was quiet for a long time, and then she asked, tentatively, gently, as if Roseclaw was the first ice on the lake in leafbare and she was afraid of cracking him. "And... Pinefeather?"
"I found him," Roseclaw said, [ color=#BF4000]"we were travelling together, but we got separated by a rockslide in the mountains. I made it through, he didn't. He told me to go and he'd catch up, so I've been trying to mark my trail, but the rains..."[/color] Roseclaw trailed off with a sad smile, and Lionheart touched her nose to her cheek. "He'll find you," she said, adamantly yet still gentle, "nothing could deter that tom from you."
"No, not even cantankerous orange mollies," Roseclaw teased, and Lionheart slammed him with her shoulder, making him stumble. He chuckled, straightened up, and his eyes caught Ashenstrike's. His face tilted, and he gave the grey tom an amused look. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends? This one seems almost as cranky as you are." Lionheart let out an incredulous laugh, flicking her eyes between her brother and her friend.
"Who, Ashenstrike? No," she laughed, "Ashenstrike is as different from me as possible. He's...," she trailed off, and then a fond smile crossed her face, and she squared her shoulders, "earnest. He lives his life unapologetic, and I admire that about him. He's sure of himself, and he has a laugh that lights up the whole clan. We're lucky to have him; he keeps spirits high while I keep paws on the ground. We make a good team."
"I hope your praise for me is just as glowing," Shadowtail teased, with a purr. Beside her, Ashenstrike's gut twisted, but he forced his lopsided smile onto his maw as he watched Roseclaw watch him. His expression only relaxed when the ginger tom's attention switched to survey the brown molly to his left. "Of course," Lionheart purred, "Shadowtail is one of my best friends in the clan. She's been with us for a long time now, and she's relentlessly optimistic and enthusiastic. She makes friends easily, and I've never met someone so personable who can find her niche with any cat. And to top it of, she's an incredible huntress, and a keen tactician. GroveClan wouldn't be as strong as it is without her around."
"And if you are anything like your sister," Shadowtail purred to Roseclaw, "GroveClan is lucky to have you. Lionheart is the strongest, bravest, most intelligent cat I know. She keeps us grounded, she keeps us moving forward, and she managed to teach Badgerstar the way of the warrior code from dead scratch, from what I hear. We couldn't have a better deputy." Lionheart ducked her head, bashful, and Roseclaw's eyes widened as he purred.
"My little sister, deputy? I'm so proud of you, Lionheart. I always knew you were destined for greatness." She snorted, but the two touched noses tenderly, and Ashenstrike didn't miss the sentimental little sniff that Shadowtail emitted. Lionheart turned to the pair of them, eyes sparkling with happiness. "He's staying," Roseclaw laughed, obviously amused that he didn't get a say in this, "come on, we should introduce him to Badgerstar."
"I'd love to meet him, he seems an interesting character from what you all have said about him. What's this about teaching him the warrior code from scratch?" Roseclaw stepped forward with Lionheart, as Shadowtail fell into step with them, bouncing along next to the tall ginger cats. "Now that, is a long story. I first met him after I'd been travelling away from MoorClan for about three moons..."
Ashenstrike stayed in place for a good few seconds, tilting his face upward to the sky to blink back his tears. He watched storm clouds start to fringe GroveClan territory, and the sinking feeling in his gut returned. He took a few steps after the group, trailing them back to camp. Lionheart explained the story of how she'd met Badgerstar, telling Roseclaw about how he hadn't known a thing about the warrior code, about meeting Flintburr first, and then Maplefall, then the twins and Acornstream, as the ranks slowly filled up, prompted by interjections from Shadowtail.
The willow leaves brushed over Ashenstrike's back as he ducked into camp, and all eyes swiveled toward them. Lionheart's chest swelled with pride as she stepped forward. "This is my brother, Rosecalw, everyone. He's come to join GroveClan, after travelling all the way from-"
"Stormgaze?" A familiar voice set ice in Ashenstrike's heart. All familiar faces swiveled toward them, and among them, one so familiar and yet so unfamiliar at the same time; a young tom with a dark grey face and startling blue eyes. Lionheart's amber eyes blinked at him in confusion, as the young tom stepped forward, and he decided that he'd never felt worse.
"Ashenstrike?" Longpaw's tentative meow came, "why is he calling you Stormgaze?"
"Why are you calling him Ashenstrike?" The tom mewed back, with an incredulous laugh. His tail kinked over his back as he moved forward, rubbing around the grey tom. He looked confused as Ashenstrike balked, shrinking back from his touch. Confused, Sootface flicked his blue eyes between the rest of the clan. "This is Stormgaze. Of CragClan, over the mountains some. Stormgaze, tell them! I mean, I know I haven't seen you since Lynxtooth bu-"
"Don't," Ashenstrike's snap seemed to startle everyone in the clan, especially Longpaw, who shrank back against Harrierstreak's flank, the older tom-cat curling protectively around him, "don't say his name." Sootface scowled, fur bristling. "Stormgaze, dude, what happened to you?"
"He told us his name was Ashenstrike of PetalClan," came Lionheart's voice, in the low tone that meant she was losing her patience. Ashenstrike had never felt more fear in his life. "Well he's not. He's Stormgaze. Granted, we all thought he was dead when we found Lynxtooth and he was just... gone. Like, dude, why did you run off?"
"Why are you doing this?" His voice was tight, like he was a second away from slipping.
"Why am I doing what? I just want to understand why you left, dude."
"You know why I left."
"No, I don't? Do you care to enlighten me?"
"Because I killed him!" Ashenstrike's voice rose, and Sootface shrank back from him, eyes wide and ears flattened against his skull. A stunned silence descended over the clan, but nothing was worse than the hot feeling of Lionheart's betrayed, horrified gaze boring into him, like two searing-hot claws being sunk into his heart. "Is that what you wanted to hear, Sootface? You couldn't have just told them I was a murderer, you just had to make me do it myself? Admit I killed my own brother? You think I don't know or something? You think I don't think about it everyday?"
"Stormgaz-"
"You think I don't wish I could take it back? I came here to start again, and I don't deserve to, but I-"
"Stormg-"
"Don't call me that! I-"
"He was the murderer!" Sootface's irate yowl made Ashenstrike blanch, and he fell silent, watching the young tom heave, face clouded with frustration and tinged with concern. "We came looking for you- Sprucetail recovered, he named him and- when we couldn't find you we knew that he thought you were too close to finding out that he'd done it, so we came looking. We found him, and we thought he'd got to you." Silence fell. No one dared to say a word, and it seemed like even the forest was holding its breath, before Ashenstrike took a deep, shuddering sob, and buckled close to the ground.
"I killed him," he sobbed, and Sootface glanced around awkwardly, looking for help. "I know, but he was going to kill you first, St- Ashenstrike." He took a step closer, but Ashenstrike turned his face away. "I... I panicked. I'm so sorry." But he wasn't talking to Sootface, he was gazing imploringly at Lionheart, before his frantic gaze turned to the rest of the clan. His eyes landed on Badgerstar, who was looking grimmer than he'd ever seen him, Maplefall pressed close against his shoulder as he gazed to Lionheart for guidance.
"GroveClan," she said, after a prolonged period of silence, "is a place for second chance. We all came here to escape from something. The destruction of a clan, loneliness, a different life that didn't fit us. Ashenstrike is of GroveClan. What ever Stormgaze of CragClan did was in the past, and what he did seems justified, if this tom is telling the truth. Ashenstrike has been running from his past, the same as the rest of us, and he lied. He lied because he had to, and if we didn't forgive a cat for that, we wouldn't be the clan we are today. He deserves a second chance."
A general murmur of acceptance went up around the clan, and people started to turn away, excitement seeming to be over. Badgerstar motioned for the two new toms to come closer so the could meet them, and as Lionheart peeled away, Ashenstrike bolted after her. "Lionheart- wait-"
"No," she snapped, whirling on him so fast that he tripped over his own paws coming to a stop. Their noses were almost touching, and the angry hurt rolling behind her eyes made him feel sick. "You lied to the clan, and you lied to me. You let me trust you, Ashenstrike. You let me trust a cat I thought I knew who was nothing but a fantasy lie. You might deserve a second chance from the clan, but that doesn't mean you deserve a second chance from me."
She whirled on him, then, so fast that her tail swished across his face with a striking force. He stood alone in a camp full of cats, watching her strong ginger shoulders vanish into the medicine cat den, and he knew with a startling clarity that he could not follow.

𝕥𝕠𝕕𝕒𝕪,
"Hey, Longpaw!" the young tom looked up as his mentor padded over, smile on his face and tail high. "I was thinking we could get in some tracking practice today?" Longpaw shrugged, placing his kill down at his paws. "Sorry," he said, kind of awkwardly, "I'm... training with Roseclaw today. He's going to teach me how to swim with the younger apprentices." Ashenstrike looked a little confused. "Oh, but uh- I could do that?"
"Yeah, well, Lionheart will be around, so," Longpaw shrugged again, and Ashenstrike could feel the thin veneer of normality he'd built up evaporating with every second. "Longpaw, you've been training with Roseclaw basically every day this moon, it's uh. I mean we haven't-"
"Lionheart wasn't the only cat you hurt," the apprentice replied curtly, before he snagged his kill and turned, bounding away to where Harrierstreak was waiting for him. Ashenstrike watched the two toms touch noses, before they settled down together to share some food. With a sigh, he turned to look at the rest of the clan. Most of them seemed to already be out on patrol, and the nursery was very quiet. He spotted Maplefall and Badgerstar heading toward the entrance, so he shuffled on over.
"Hey, Maplefall," he mewed, "no one came to get me for patrol?" The young molly gave a quick glance toward Badgerstar, who simply scampered forward toward Flintburr. Ashenstrike let out a soft sigh. "Lionheart didn't name me, huh?" Sadly, the calico molly nodded, and Ashenstrike felt his entire body sag. He let out a slow exhale, and felt a soft nose press against his cheek. He gave Maplefall the best smile he could muster, as she began to pad after the toms.
"I'm sorry," she said gently, "she just-" She stumbled a little as the she-cat in question brushed past her, with Shadowtail and the two young apprentices following her, and Roseclaw bringing up the rear with Longpaw. The pair of them watched the group depart, but when Maplefall turned to continue her conversation with Ashenstrike, he was nowhere to be seen. Sighing, she shook her head and bounded after her mate and her friend. They grey tom watched her go from the shadows of the warrior's den. He turned, glancing around the empty space under the tree's roots. Lionheart's scent in her nest was faint. She'd taken to sleeping either in Roseclaw's, on the other side of the den to Ashenstrike, or with Badgerstar in his den.
"Are you going to sulk all day today too, or do you actually want to do something useful?" A voice made him jolt, and he whipped around to see Goldleaf waiting for him a few feet away from the entrance to the den, with a concerned looking Mousepaw sitting behind her and glancing at him. Carefully, he exited the den, shaking out his pelt. The medicine cat blinked, clearly impatient. "Mousepaw and I are still trying to stock up on greencough herbs. We'll carry more with three cats."
"Didn't know you were one for pity," Ashenstrike muttered, dryly.
"I can always just leave you here if you'd prefer, Ashenstrike." The admonishment made him duck his head in embarrassment, and he shook it as a tiny 'no'. With a contemptuous huff, Goldleaf stood and stalked off toward the entrance, with Mousepaw bounding along after her. After a beat of hesitation, Ashenstrike took two long bounds to catch up, trailing behind the medicine cats like a chastised kit. After several long minutes of silence, he finally spoke up again: "Thank you, Goldleaf. For letting me help you."
"Your moping was giving me a headache," she replied, gruffly, and Ashenstrike snorted, shaking his head. He caught Mousepaw staring at him, and the little she-cat didn't avert her gaze when he stared back. It seemed odd for her, since he remembered her to be quite shy. "Why did you do it?" She mewed, startling both older cats to a complete standstill.
"Mousepaw-"
"Why did you do it?" She asked again, adamantly, raising her chin at him. Ashenstrike blinked at her in shock, before he felt unease settling in his gut. Goldleaf was giving her apprentice a disapproving look, but he couldn't bring himself to use it as an out. He let out a slow breath, and he felt his haunches hit the ground. It wasn't a question he'd ever been prepared to answer, but he felt like he needed to. Not just because Mousepaw had asked him, but because he hadn't stopped to ask himself.
"I played into his game, I guess," he shrugged, haphazardly, "we grew up together, and I thought I knew him. He wanted to take a walk. He'd been... different, and he kept saying things. I was scared, and he turned around fast and I-" he paused, squeezing his eyes shut. "It was an accident. I just meant to push him away from me but I-"
"Then why are you beating yourself up about it?" Goldleaf looked absolutely bewildered, so much so that she gave Ashenstrike a look that could have been apologetic. "I love Harrierstreak," Mousepaw declared, "but if he did something horrible like your brother did I wouldn't think twice about doing the same. He might be my brother, but I couldn't let him cause that much pain to other cats."
"I thought he was innocent," Ashenstrike said quietly, "for the longest time, I thought I'd killed my brother for no reason but a split second of fear when I thought he was going to attack me." The three of them fell silent as Ashenstrike's head fell, face turned to the ground. His shoulders shook as he tried to keep the emotions in. Suddenly, he felt tiny paws against his shoulder, and a nose nuzzling into his cheek.
"I forgive you," Mousepaw mewed, and Ashenstrike choked, "I think you needed to hear that. And I know everyone else will forgive you too." She leaped down off of him and padded past Goldleaf, who swung her fluffy head between the two of them. Her expression softened as she looked at the shell-shocked Ashenstrike, and got to her paws. Robotic, he stood after her, and with a dry laugh, he spoke. "I think you might be doing too good a job at training her."
"It really has been eating you alive, huh." He nodded, with a lopsided shrug and a weak attempt at a smile. Goldleaf turned to look at her apprentice, standing a few feet away, waiting for them. She inclined her head, and Ashenstrike fell into step with her, letting Mousepaw lead them. "I forgive you too, for what it's worth. And Mousepaw is right, everyone else will too. Even Lionheart."
"I know I messed up, badly, especially with her," he let out a sigh, squeezing his eyes shut. "Yeah, well, we all knew you were an idiot anyway." Ashenstrike snorted. "Is that supposed to make me feel better? Has anyone ever told you that you're really nurturing, Goldleaf?" The she-cat let out a rumbling chuckle, giving him an amused look. "She'll come around, Ashenstrike, but you have to show her you're sorry, and not just tell her. She really liked you, you know?"
"I know," he said quietly, "and I love her. I don't blame her. She was right, I let her trust a lie."
"Well, only partly."
"What?"
"It was only partly a lie, wasn't it? Maybe you lied about where you came from, but who you are is real. You're still the tom that helped Hawkthorn gather feathers every morning before sun up so he could make the nursery nests soft for Acornstream and the kits. You're still the tom that managed to make Badgerstar laugh so hard that water shot out of his nose. You're the tom who stayed with Harrierstreak and Mousepaw when they first came to the clan to make sure they were warm and protected." Ashenstrike blinked at her, surprised. "None of that changed. That's just who you are."
"Goldleaf... I don't know what to say," his smile got real this time, still soft and almost shy, "except for that I'm surprised you noticed." She snorted, gently nudging his shoulder with her own. "Please, I notice everything. The clan will get over it, in time. It's just..."
"She called me earnest. I let her down. I let all of them down." Goldleaf nodded, and Ashenstrike let out a shuddery breath. "But, getting Mousepaw's forgiveness is a good start."

★★★

"So... what did Ashenstrike want to talk about?" Flintburr broke the uncharacteristic silence of the patrol, making Maplefall's ears prick up. "Oh, just... patrol stuff. Lionheart blocking him and all that." Flintburr let out a hum of understanding, thinking about that for a second. "And how is he... doing?"
"He's sad. He made a mistake, but he doesn't deserve to be ostracized by the clan for it. Just because he lied doesn't mean he's not a good cat. I would have done the same in his situation, and it's not really something you could have led a conversation with." The black tom gave a dry laugh, shaking his great head. "I suppose not. I do think it's silly to be wasting cat-power, especially his. He's one of our greatest assets but... Lionheart is hurting. You know she told me about her family a moon or so ago now, and she said she'd only told Ashenstrike otherwise, because-"
"He asked," Badgerstar said, nodding slowly, "she said the same thing to me. But Lionheart doesn't just tell cats things because they ask. I pestered her about it for moons and she only told me names. Nothing about the kits, or anything." He blew out a sigh, hunching up his shoulders. Maplefall reached across to press her nose to his cheek, and he gave her a grateful little smile, nuzzling against her.
"I feel bad," he declared, "I wish there was something we could do, but this is something Ashenstrike has to fix on his own, huh?" Maplefall and Flintburr nodded. "It would help if you two were willing to be his friends again, but I guess I can't rush that. He lied to all of us, but I think if I can forgive him, you two should too. It's killing him slowly, I think. He was so happy before all of this. And I've been talking to Sootface- just because Ashenstrike lied about where he was from doesn't mean he lied about who he is. Sootface said what I told him about Ashenstrike sounded just like how he was in his old clan."
"He wasn't trying to reinvent himself," Flintburr mused, "just trying to escape something he did. Quite a mess, isn't it." Maplefall nodded, and Badgerstar let out a humourless laugh. "You can say that again."

★★★

Lionheart and Roseclaw sat shoulder to shoulder on the bank of the lake, watching Shadowtail splash at Longpaw and Harrierstreak while the two younger apprentices clumsily flailed about in the water. They were slowly getting the hang of it, leaving the older cats to play around a little bit. Longpaw got drenched by a particularly large spray of water and he sputtered, splashing back at Shadowtail and making her squeal while Harrierstreak laughed beside them.
"You and Longpaw got pretty close pretty fast," Lionheart mused, leaning on her elder brother. The ginger tom rumbled a laugh, nodding slowly. "He regards him like a father, you know. He needs someone right now, and I am a particularly good shoulder to lean on." Lionheart sighed, turning her face toward the ground and squeezing her eyes shut. "I don't want to talk about him right now. Or, ideally, ever."
"You're just saying that," Roseclaw said, an amused tone to his voice, "you'll want to talk about it eventually, because you've never been able to keep your mouth shut about anything." Lionheart gave him an offended look, and he purred. "I haven't forgotten the time you dobbed Russetwing and I in to mother for sneaking out of camp as apprentices." She huffed, and shrugged lightly, allowing her brother to touch his nose to her cheek.
"He hurt you, I know. I'm not saying you should forgive him immediately, but... well. Life is short, Lionheart. And we never know when it's going to end. I know you care for him, and spending this time without Pinefeather? Well. I'm sure if you could feel how I feel you'd know that you don't want to feel it ever again. In any case, the least you can do is be there for Longpaw. He's a good cat, and he's going to make a fine warrior for your clan someday. He needs someone right now, and you can empathize with him strongly, can't you?"
Lionheart stared at her brother for a few moments, before her face softened, and she sighed. "I forgot how wise you were. Come on." She stood, and bolted toward the water, splashing into the lake and knocking Longpaw off of his paws to defend Shadowtail from another spray of water. She purred, and Harrierstreak laughed at his sputtering friend, as Roseclaw grabbed him by the scruff and hauled him to his paws.
"Come on, Lionheart," Shadowtail said with a laugh, "let's show these young toms how it's done." Roseclaw backpedaled out of the way as the two warriors descended on the younger toms in a flurry of paws, splashing about in the lake and toppling one another over. He left them to their fun, shifting across to help the two younger apprentices with their swimming technique. When he turned to check on them again, he saw Longpaw's tail kink happily at some of Lionheart's praise. His eyes met his sister's, and they shared a look of knowing, before Harrierstreak tackled her back into the water.

meadowstar stood at the very edge of the lake, just off the ice, her warm mossy gaze complimenting her sleek blue pelt. as soon as the tom’s scent hit her nostrils, she felt at home; he had a lavender aroma about him, and his fur was nicely kept- mostly white, except for the light ginger markings on his muzzle. he looked as if he was dipping his head to say goodbye to someone, but as meadowstar approached him they touched heads gently.
“hello,” he murmured, his voice soft, like a caress of a feather.
“i’m meadowstar,” she introduced herself, tipping her ears toward the island. “and that is home.”
“heathenshine lead me here. he tells me you have a good heart,” his blue eyes shone brightly.
“you know him?” she meowed, shocked. she began to tread on the lake, instructing him to follow exactly one fox length behind her and in the same exact path.
“yes, he is my very distant ancestors. my blood is your blood,” he murmured. “we come from the same clan. or, at least our parents did.”
“why did you come?” meadowstar finally asked, delicately placing her paws down.
“i always knew there was something inside me that wasn’t like the other loners i stayed with. i experienced dreams my entire life, of cats i’d never before met, yet they would give me prophecies that would come true. when heathenshine said it was because i shared a medicine cat’s blood, that i was chosen to receive omens...” he trailed off, pausing. “i had been living my whole life doing nothing; providing for no one. i wanted to provide for someone for a change.” he padded after her, raising his voice so that she could hear him over the distance. “and you? why did you begin this clan?”
“because i was alone, and i needed to not be alone anymore.” she said simply. “what is your name?”
“where i’m from, they only ever called me zeus,” he admitted, ears burning.
“don’t worry, when you visit the glowing cave starclan will gift you with the knowledge you need, and a new name.” the blue she-cat purred, feeling relieved as they finally reached the rocky shore of the island. “the glowing cave is just beyond here. we’re on the northwest side of the region, where i made camp in a dip on the moor. there are caverns next to it that we can use as shelter from harsh weather.” she told him, leading him toward the glowing cave. “i cannot go in with you, because it is a journey you must take alone.”
“i am not afraid,” zeus told her, before disappearing in the mouth of the cave.

-

when he appeared again, the sun had set and another day had passed. he appeared joyfully, eyes bright and fur fluffed out against the cold. meadowstar herself had buried herself in tall grass to protect against the chilly winds.
“my new name is honeytail!” he meowed cheerfully, touching his head to meadowstar’s in greeting.
“i’m glad to have you by my side, honeytail.” she paused, shaking her fur and puffing it out. “care for a night hunt?”
"i've never been great at hunting, miss, but i'll certainly try," he said kindly, taking the lead.
"unless you intend to go night swimming, the plains are this way," meadowstar laughed quietly, tugging his tail with her own. as soon as she padded onto the springy, dry grass she smelt something wrong. she scented something like a dog- but a sharper, more putrid scent.
"fox," honeytail hissed, unsheathing his claws. before he could do anything, a small fox sprang out from the growth and pinned him down with one swift movement. wait- this wasn't a fox. it was a cat.
"you!" she snarled at meadowstar. "move in front of me. if ya do anything else, i'll slit his throat."
"calm down, nobody has to get hurt," meadowstar said briskly, glancing down at honeytail. the medicine cat shoved up with his back legs, throwing the little molly off.
"hey! you're the ones who said the name of the devil!" she insisted, her tail lashing. meadowstar wrinkled her nose, inspecting the ginger she-cat.
"you reek of fox," the blue feline meowed, with honeytail nodding in agreement.
"i've been hunting a fox for days. i followed her onto this island," she told them, puffing out her chest in pride. "i'm maddie, but, i don't suppose you care." she huffed.
"you're on wiltedclan's land." meadowstar stated matter-o-factly, before getting nudged by honeytail. she rolled her eyes.
"i have herbs i can give you to get rid of the smell," honeytail said kindly, tipping his head to her. she scoffed in reply.
"clans cats, always thinking you own places. i'll tell you what though, i'll join this wiltedclan if you help me find this fox. she's been at me for days."
the two clan cats exchanged glances, before meadowstar agreed. "deal,"

-

the three cats tracked the volatile fox scent to its source, after rinsing maddie of the scent. the padded toward a den with spiked up pelts. the den, a mere pile of sticks, was abandoned with nothing but fox dung in it's place. the trail lead the cats outward to the lake, where the three hesitantly padded cats-lengths away from each other. maddie reached the hole first, telling the others to halt.
"she must have drowned," the ginger reasoned, flicking her tail. "does this mean i have to have a warrior name, too?" she complained, glancing backwards at honeytail and meadowstar.

-

"do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?" meadowstar asked gravely, watching as maddie nodded earnestly. perhaps she had no idea what she was really promising, or maybe, like honeytail she was a descendent of lightningclan. "for your quick battle skills and silver-tongue, i name you serpenttongue. may you strike fear into our enemies, and yet have a touch gentle enough for kits."

LarchClan

LarchClan is a group of former kittypets and loners who have banded together in a forest of spruce, pine and larch trees where snow appears throughout the forest until Foraging Season - the warmest season. Cats here have developed specific stalking techniques to dig out prey in their own burrows and catch squirrels or even owls by jumping from tree to tree, and their fighting style often is a group ambush or in duos. LarchClan's members keep their original names given to them by their twolegs and families unless they request a name change.

This clan lives in a coniferous forest nearby the small and quiet twolegplace where most of the clan cats come from and throughout the territory runs a river. Life can be hard as not much prey makes their nests here, but these cats use alternate sources, venturing towards their water sources to catch fish or sneaking into the twolegplace to prey on rats and wood pigeons. Foxes and wolves are the clan's attackers, rats only appear at the edge of their territory where twolegplace is and wolves appear from the rocky slopes near their home, and occasionally badgers appear. The abundance of spruce, pine and larch trees blocks out the light of their ancestors, but the herbalist of the clan can follow the river to come to the "Darkened Pool" , an underwater spring hidden away in the bushes that is believed to be the spiritual bridge to the dead ones, where cats can recieve herbal advice and omens. Faintly in the distance the mountains appear, and LarchClan believes the mountains are where their ancestors live, where no creature could venture.
LarchClan's camp isn't always a final choice, as they move around depending on the season, prey, illness and amount of kits or omens regarding the clan at that time. The camp will always be sheltered under the trees from the wind and snow, and the dens are woven tightly in case of flood or harsh weather conditions. The dens are often above the the ground, occasionally with some cats living in squirrel nests in the trees or making their nest in an abandoned foxes' den. Families tend to build their own dens in tree stumps or tucked away in ferns, while warriors may share a den with three or four other warriors, typically their friends or littermate. Queens have the most protected dens,and if they don't have a mate within the clan they will have their own den with a warrior or trainee guarding them. The trainees usually have a den together and younger warriors may also share their den. The council have their nests around the largest tree in camp, and the leader either sleeps in that tree or with the council and watches over their clan from there.

These cats are hard working, empathetic and loyal, and these abilities come out in every member. Their empathy stretches to every cat, and they can be blinded by the ferocity of a mother's care when protecting the clan. LarchClan's hospitality and fierce empathy makes them a fierce ally to look after and fight for another clan in times of war. The entire community contributes, and even the weakest elder is heald in high regard to tell the next generation of the world around them and experiences to be learned upon. All omens to be found will be searched for thoroughly, and even the dropping of a pinecone can predict who will fall away from the clan's beliefs, or which cat will be the one to catch a squirrel that day. LarchClan tolerates forbidden relationships and welcomes cats of any clan, exiled or disbanded; other clans' shamans and medicine cats can be seen exchanging herbs by the borders or a council member will travel to another clan to give them herbs.

All pelt colours are accepted, but generally the main colours are white, black, grey or brown tabbies. Their fur is any length, but cats who are furless are not accepted into the clan as the cold weather can easily grant colds and chills to shorter furred cats. They are good hunters and are very stealthy in their territory due to the trees creating shadows that they can hide in and their light pawsteps. Their fighting ability depends on what they are fighting for, if the clan has lost a trainee or many are wounded they will defend their clanmates fiercely. LarchClan loves climbing trees and it is one of the first skills trainees learn, despite their affinity with trees they do fish, but don't like getting their paws wet on any other occasions. In the forest is where they are best suited, as their paws are used to the sticks and leaves they have to stalk past to get to where they need to hunt.

A few of the ranks of LarchClan differ in name from the other clans, but most of them do not vary. The leader is known as the chief, and when a heir is chosen that has a kittypet name the ancestors may give them a traditional name without any twoleg influences. Despite their names not representing their position in the clan, the chiefs are still given nine lives by their ancestors as tradition. Trainees must catch a raven, a sacred bird to the stars, to pass their assessment. Apprentices are known as Trainees and Elders are known as Storytellers, but the rest of the ranks keep their names.
Instead of a deputy and medicine cat, the chief will have nine cats making up the council who help their leader to make important decisions and can look after the clan or report to StarClan when the chief cannot. Each of the nine cats are valued for the traits they show, the techniques they use and their temperament; when the leader is on his last life he will choose the next chief out of the nine cats, or a cat showing great promise that would've been in the council. Each cat is trained in basic herb recognition, healing skills and show leader like abilities, dominance among fellow clan members or are intelligent and all areas of the clan have a cat to provide insight on what is happening and to fix issues with friendships or watch an unloyal cat. The clan cat's job is what helps them get into the council - a nursery helper may get in for their empathy for others and their understanding that leads them to be confided in. Being demoted from the council is almost as bad as being exiled, but the reasons to be demoted can be because of the warrior code being broken multiple times, an aggressive behaviour, or not getting along.

Can this be my leader? This is my second clan.
