Leaf-fall- The air has a slight nip to it, easily finding its way inside dens, so make sure to repair your dens and patch any cracks. The twolegs and their dogs won't come into the Clan territories as often as they do in greenleaf, but you will still see them from time to time. Foxes and badgers are now more commonly found, so be careful. Kitting will start to become harder during this time.

the mountains are a dangerous place, but for decades, algidclan ( named after the temperature of their home ) has thrived in their environment. a safe distance away from the local tribes, humans are a distant worry for the cats. they believe in starclan and follow the warrior code — the only difference is they believe all creatures are created through spirits, said to appear in the form of an aurora. algidclan cats are fierce and strong, hardened by the winds of the mountains, but they accept newcomers into their ranks warmly.

• situated in the mountains of alaska
↪ on a clear, dark night they are able to see the northern lights
↪ they claim a whole mountain range and more as their territory ( 1, 2, 3, 4 )
↪ the camp is a massive cave system in the mountains ( 1 )
↪ communication with starclan is made at what is simply known as the pool
• originally founded by a tom named algidstar
↪ had three sons: kenai, denahi, and sitka
↪ planned for denahi to rule, until he was killed by a bear
↪ fatally wounded by the same bear that killed denahi moons after
↪ now his second eldest son, sitka, is going to rule

The cats of BearClan were laying in the camp. It was sunny and fairly warm. There hadn’t been rain for several sun cycles, but Ashtail wasn’t worried about that. He was worried, however, about what would come next. They had rid themselves of Viperstar, and they were free. Ashtail wasn’t sure what to do. StarClan has given him the task of liberating the Clan, but they hadn’t given any insight to the future. Life was surely carrying on. Kits were being born, apprentices and warriors were being made, prey was being caught, and everything was normal. He sighed and padded over to Hawksnow who was sitting by the apprentices den talking to Ryepaw. The senior warriors had decided to appoint the young she-cat her first apprentice. At first, Hawksnow had been wary and unsure that they had made the right decision. But now she was comfortable with the young apprentice and the two had bonded nicely. Ashtail couldn’t pick up what they were talking about, but he reached them in the middle of a giggling session. He smiled and dipped his head to the pair. “Oh, hey Ashtail.” Hawksnow smiled “How did you sleep?” The tom shrugged. “It was a bit dry and hot in my nest, but I slept fine.” He meowed “Anyways, I was wondering if you wanted to have a joint training session. Owlpaw needs some more work on his hunting crouches and I know you’ve been working with Ryepaw on her skills.” Ryepaw’s eyes brightened with excitement. “Oh, Hawksnow, can we?” She purred “I’ve always wanted to train with another apprentice!” Hawksnow smiled fondly at her apprentice’s excitement. “As long as Owlpaw is up for it, I don’t see why not.” Ashtail nodded and called for Owlpaw to join them. The dark tom walked out of the apprentice den shortly. His fur was still sticking up in some places. Ashtail had obviously disturbed his sleep. After hearing the plans, Owlpaw nodded and yawned, stretching and shaking out his pelt. It wasn’t long before he was wide awake and ready to go out.

“No, Owlpaw, you need to keep your butt down.” Ashtail sighed. He walked up and pushed down the tom’s rump, which was high in the air. He leveled his spine and then took a step back. “This hurts my legs.” Owlpaw complained. “Then you’re doing it right. You haven’t used those muscles much, so they’ll be a bit weak.” His mentor explained “Don’t worry, once you do it enough you’ll get stronger.” Ryepaw was beside him. Her muscles were bunched perfectly and she glared intently at the log they were going to attack. Ashtail moves on the other side of her, standing next to Hawksnow. “Notice how her paws are shoulder width apart.” He flicked his tail at Ryepaw’s feet “A wider base gives you more power to pounce.” Owlpaw muttered and shifted his paws so they were further apart. Ashtail gave his approval. The two apprentices stood waiting for the command to launch themselves at the log a few cat lengths away. “Ok,” Hawksnow declared “Ready, set, go!” The two flew into the air at her command. Ryepaw lunged at the log and hit the side directly. She let out a puff of air and quickly scrambled to the top. Owlpaw, however, was a bit too powerful. He soared over the log and tumbled into a ditch on the other side. Ryepaw could help but let out a giggle. She covered her mouth with a paw and cleared her throat before making her way down to him. “Are you alright?” She asked sincerely, though some amusement was left in her voice. Owlpaw‘s head popped out. Leaves cascaded around him as he did so. He wrinkled his nose in annoyance. Ryepaw giggled at him. She batted the leaf that remained on the top of his head between his flattened ears. Owlpaw grumbled and pulled himself out of the leaf-filled ditch. Ashtail and Hawksnow leaped over the log gracefully to see what was happening. Ashtail tried to hide his smile by twitching his whiskers. “Here.” He took a step towards Owlpaw but the tom flicked an ear, signaling that he didn’t need help. He took one step out of the ditch before being pulled back in. He furiously glared at his hind paw, which was entangled in a hidden vine. He sat down and lifted his leg above his head to tried and cut it, but the vine wouldn’t budge. Ashtail shook his head and chuckled. “Okay, okay, let me help you.” He went to him and snapped the vine near the ground. The vine loosened and fell away from the black tom’s foot. Owlpaw got to his feet and looked at the ground. “Don’t worry, Owlpaw.” Hawksnow assured “You’ll get it.” Ashtail nodded. “Yea, not everything is easy. I remember it took me two tries to pass my warrior assessment.” Owlpaw’s ears pricked and he looked up. “Really?” He gasped “But you’re such a good warrior!” Ashtail tilted his head. “With enough practice, anyone can do anything. I worked hard to become a good warrior, and I know you will be too. I don’t care if we have to train all day, we’ll make a good warrior out of you, Owlpaw.” The apprentice smiled sheepishly and blinked gratefully at his mentor. “Thanks, Ashtail.” He murmured. Ryepaw nudged him with her shoulder. “C’mon let’s try it again.” Owlpaw nodded and the four returned to the clearing. Ryepaw and Owlpaw were ready to launch again when a yowl of terror ripped through the forest. All four cats turned to face the sound, highly alert. “That came from camp!” Hawksnow gasped. “Let’s go.” Ashtail ordered. The cats raced through the trees towards the camp, the screams getting louder and more abundant as they got closer.

As the four burst into camp, what they saw stole the breath out of their lungs. Birdpaw was hanging limp from the jaws of the large bear. “W-what is that?” Ryepaw cried, huddling close to Owlpaw and Hawksnow. “T-that’s the bear. Why in StarClan’s name is it here?” Ashtail spluttered. It was facing a group of cats guarding the nursery and apprentice den. Some cats were pressed against the stone wall, petrified. Others were hissing and swatting at the bear. Ashtail looked back to Ryepaw and Owlpaw. “You two try to sneak through the barrier and get the nursery cleared. The two nodded and Owlpaw guided Ryepaw back out. Hawksnow and Ashtail dashed out from behind the bear and slashed at its legs. It growled and let Birdpaw go, dropping her to the ground. The two warriors circled around to where the other cats were. The bear snarled at them. “What’s the meaning of this?” Ashtail yowled, stepping in front of the other cats. “We had a deal!” The bear boomed “You send up cat or I destroy Clan! You have broken your side, so I break mine. You all be dead by nightfall!” Cats around Ashtail started to move nervously. He made eye contact with Elmstream. She swallowed and shook her head. “What are we waiting for?” A cat yowled “I’m not going to lay down and die!” Quailthroat launched herself at the large animal, with many cries of protest following her. But she never reached her target. When she was a cat length away, she was snatched out of the air by a streak of ginger. The fox landed and whipped the small black she-cat around in his jaws. He shook her violently and eventually tossed her to the side, nothing more than a heap of bloody dark fur. Batfur yowled and charged at the fox. A group followed him, leaving the other cats to face the bear. Elmstream and Ashtail snarled and let out a synchronized battle cry. Ashtail launched himself at the bear. He purposefully overshot its head, landing on its upper neck. He sunk his teeth into the fur, trying to get to the skin. Thornstep attached himself to the front of the bear’s shoulder. He swiped at it, ripping clumps of fur away and eventually tearing into skin. The bear roared and snapped at the young warrior. He clipped Thornstep’s back and the warrior hissed. The bear clamped his jaws onto the cat’s midsection, crushing Thornstep’s spine before tossing him aside. His body landed a few tail lengths from Nightfur, who was furiously batting at the fox’s stomach from below. The canine spun around and got a swipe from Rabbitspark. The fox looked taken aback. “You know,” it snarled “Your daughter screamed like a kit when she went over that cliff.” Rabbitspark’s eyes filled with horror, causing the fox to cackle. It was the same fox who had forced Lilypaw, Sandstep, and Slatestar off of the edge of the ravine. Rabbitspark’s horror turned into uncontainable rage. She gave a splitting yowl and threw herself at the fox, wrapping her paws around its neck and sinking her teeth into it. The fox howled and tried to buck her off. Behind them, Owlpaw and Ryepaw rejoined the fight. The black tom skidded beside his mentor. “We cleared the nursery.” He huffed. Ashtail nodded and motioned to the bear. Several cats were attached to it, thrashing and clawing. Astercry and Badgergaze sprinted in front of Ashtail. The pair circled around the beast and stopped behind it. Together, they nipped at the heels of the animal. It roared and went up on its hind paws. This move revealed the bear’s underbelly. Ashtail and Owlpaw launched themselves at it. “Good pounce!” Ashtail praised once their claws here tangled in the dense fur. Owlpaw smiled and went right to work ripping away at the clumps. Astercry and her son continued biting at the bear’s dark ankles. Astercry darted underneath its legs and in front of it. The bear growled and started to lean down. Badgergaze cried out a warning, but the black she-cat couldn’t hear him. Its paws crashed down on Astercry, crushing her under its weight. Several cats yowled and tried harder to tear through the fur. Ashtail wiggled his way up the bear’s chest. He dug his hind claws in the dense fur and swiped at the bear’s throat. Clumps fell away from the skin, leaving a wide patch of skin exposed. He saw this and sunk in his teeth into its throat. The bear howled as blood squirted out of its neck. The bear shook out its pelt, dislodging several warriors including Ashtail. The tom tumbled along the ground and thumped against the cliff face. He groaned and slowly got to his paws. He was about to go to his opponent, but a loud hiss snapped his attention to the fox fighters. Rabbitspark was heaving and slashing tiredly at the fox’s snout. She had a large gas along her side and her right eye was swollen shut. Ashtail took a step towards his mother, but Weaselfur beat him to it. He was like a rabid raccoon, twisting, hissing, and slashing at the fox’s eyes. The fox jumped back, surprised. Weaslefur bounced off, landing in a defensive stance in front of Rabbitspark. He spat at the fox. The canine was more enraged and lunged at the two cats. Weaselfur launched himself at the fox. The cat was able to duck under its chin and sink his teeth into the fox’s throat. He thrashed himself around, keeping his teeth in place. After a few writhes, Weaselfur ripped away from the fox, tearing out its throat in the process. The fox gasped and spluttered. It batted Weaselfur away with its last bit of strength, collapsing in a pool of blood. But the fox had shoved Weaselfur into the side of the cliff. His head collided with the solid rock, twisting his neck in an odd way, and his body crumpled to the ground. Rabbitspark shrieked and ran to her friend. She moved him away from the wall and curled up against him, burying her tear-streaked face into his fur. Ashtail was filled with grief and rage. He let out a ear-piercing battle cry and sprinted at the bear. Elmstream joined him stride for stride. And the two, in sync, pushed off of the ground and soared toward the bear’s lifted head. They latched onto the skin showing on its neck and bit down forcefully. Other cats that were shaken off joined them. There were so many cats that the bear tumbled back, much to the dismay of those that were still clawing above it. It landed with a thud and all of the cats jerked their heads back, letting the blood flow from the bear’s throat. The beast convulsed and roared, giving final, desperate claws at the felines. But the attempts slowed and the bear stiffened once again before going limp. “Its dead.” Elmstream whispered “We killed the bear.” She chuckled in amazement and looked at Ashtail with wide eyes. They all howled in triumph.

After a few moments, the surge of achievement faded. Cats started looking around camp. Limp bodies were scattered around the clearing. Loss started to fill the camp as cats found their loved ones dead. Ashtail frantically looked for Rabbitspark. He spotted her laying next to Weaselfur. The setting sun made her look shadow covered and frail. As he made his way over, he passed Batfur. He was being comforted by Nightfur and Elmstream as the tom silently sobbed. Ashtail was shocked. He had never seen the tom like this. He peeked over the three’s shoulders and saw two black pelts along with a white a brown one. His heart dropped as he realized they were Quailthroat, Talonsky, and Cougarleap. He felt an overwhelming wave of sympathy for Batfur, but continued on to his mother. He sat down quietly next to her, examining her gash. Rabbitspark mewled and shook her head. “No, Ashtail, leave it be.” Her voice was calm, even in this moment. The sun was getting lower and dark purples joined the golden oranges of the sky. Her eyes were cast in shadows, but Ashtail knew they were filled with quiet grief. She nuzzled her son and licked his forehead. “Ashtail, I’m so proud of the cat that you have become. You are a stand-up tom. Your father would agree.” Ashtail smiled, but tilted his head in confusion. “Oh, Ashtail, I’m so tired.” She sighed, placing her chin on her paws, nose brushing Weaselfur’s pelt. Ashtail’s eyes widened and his jaw slackened. He noticed how deep the gash was. Sadness hit his heart like a boulder, but he put on a soft smile. He wiggled closer to his mother and pulled her against him. He felt a tear slip out of his eye and down his cheek. He licked her ears lovingly. “It’s ok mom. You can rest now. You’ve served your clan well.” He whispered to her “You’ve raised me well.” He could feel her smile against his shoulder. Her breathing got shallower and softer, until it eventually stopped altogether. Ashtail’s chest tightened and tears dropped from his eyes. His lip trembled and he pushed his muzzle into the small she-cat’s fur, quietly sobbing into it. He remembered all of the memories, the good and the bad. He remembered when she would play with him and his sister. He remembered when Cindertail’s body was returned to camp. He remembered when Lilypaw was killed. But most of all, he remembered the love. Rabbitspark has loved him so much. She put him first and tried her very hardest to make sure he made a fine warrior, and he would never forget it. He would always mourn and celebrate his mother, and nothing would change that. A gaping hole of despair and want devoured his heart. Suddenly, he felt a warm paw touch his back. His head turned and his eyes widened. Before him stood Rabbitspark, or at least her spirit. She glistened beautifully in the darkening camp. She was young and fit, a perfect picture of her youth. The warrior rose to his paws and gawked at her. He sniffed and continued to cry. “Oh, my son.” Rabbitspark sighed, beaming. She circled around him and nuzzled him. He felt warmth and comfort flood his body, like he was a kit snuggled up in the nursery. Soon, there were more gasps of astonishment. Ashtail turned to see more spirits glowing in the camp. But there weren’t just the spirits of the cats who had died during the fight. He saw Wrenpond, Thistlepaw, and Cherrypaw greeting the spirit of Acornfall and the grieving Hickorywind. Families were being rejoined and led to StarClan. “Rabbitspark.” A tom’s voice called from behind her. Ashtail turned back around and his eyes widened. The she-cat whipped her head around and was brought to tears. A tom walked out from the corner of the walls. He glided smoothly despite having a tattered leg. His grey pelt glistened with stars and he wore a beaming smile on his muzzle. “C-Cindertail?” She gasped. “Hello, my love. I’ve been waiting for you.” He purred “We all have.” Rabbitspark was confused for a moment. Lilypaw appeared behind her father, followed by a small Flickerkit who was struggling to keep up with his sister on his short legs. Rabbitspark gasped and gave a little squeak. She rushed over to her other two kits and nuzzled them. Ashtail was standing in disbelief, legs trembling under him. Cindertail made eye contact with him and took a step towards him, reaching his son with a soft smile. “Well look at you.” He chuckled, puffing out his chest “I knew you’d make a strong warrior. Like father, like son.” Ashtail smiled. “Thank you.” He murmured “You know, I really missed you.” Cindertail sighed. “I know, son.” He meowed “And soon it’ll be your turn to join us. But hopefully not for a long, long time.” Ashtail chuckled. Cindertail looked back at Rabbitspark, who was chattering happily with Lilypaw. “You did a good job of looking after your mother for all these moons.” He meowed, turning back to him “But I think I’ll take it from here.” He winked and turned to go back to the group but he stopped. He looked back at Ashtail. “I am so very proud of you. You’ve done so well for yourself.” Ashtail dipped his head. “And remember, I will always look over you.” He promised. “We all will.” Before returning to the group, he looked across camp. The young warrior followed his gaze and saw Hawksnow saying her final goodbyes to Thunderstone. “Don’t be afraid to live your life, Ashtail. If you only remember one thing, let it be that.” Cindertail meowed. He nodded and licked his lips, unsure of what would come next. The tom placed his chin on Ashtail’s forehead and then backed away. The two dipped their heads to each other and Cindertail went back to Rabbitspark. The two nuzzled happily, Cindertail smiling with a look of relief on his face. “C’mon love.” He purred “Let’s go home.” He leaped into the air. Cindertail bounded up into the sky, followed by Lilypaw, Flickerkit, and, after one final smile to Ashtail, Rabbitspark. The ghostly glow faded from the camp and it became dark, bringing back the feeling of grief and lonliness back into the hearts of the cats of BearClan.

current prophecy: " there is darkness // where there is light // lostclan will be lost // in their fight " | song lyrics from: taska black - losing our minds ft. nevve

NURSERY/CAMP ENTRANCE - DEATHKIT

"Daddy's brought back some food for you!" Blackwhisker said, settling down in the middle of the nest, purring. Ravenkit and Sablekit rushed over eagerly toward him, then started to fight over the mouse that he brought. "The food stock is literally across from the nursery," Deathkit growled irritably, flicking her long and fluffy tail around her. "Stop that!" Sablekit roared, pawing at her. "You're never any fun!" Deathkit's ear twitched. "And no one else is reasonable. Having 'fun' is not beneficial to neither the clan nor yourself."

"Oh, kits!" Blackwhisker interrupted, scooping little Ravenkit up. She grinned smugly at the other two, Sablekit of which tried to protest and Deathkit who rolled her eyes. "Let's go into the forest for the first time. Silentstar wanted me to introduce some of you before your apprenticeship starts." Blackwhisker assembled a few older kits including Smokekit, Quickkit, Inkkit, Aspenkit, Cobrakit, and Sycamorekit. "This totally isn't a bad idea," Deathkit yawned, leaping beside her father gracefully, half-lidded eyes staring back at the other furry faces who accompanied them. "We're going to follow the apprentices," Blackwhiser explained to them patiently. "Just across from the camp entrance. Stay behind me, alright? And be in front of Deathkit."

"Why does he like you better than us?" Ravenkit wailed. "Maybe because I'm not as stupid as you," she replied dryly. It was true that she was Blackwhisker's obvious favorite, but she did not care for his approval and would rather he focused on improving the others. "Hey, Sablekit!" she barked. "Do you know why snails die?" He flicked his yellow eyes at her with a quizzical expression. "Because they're too slow to run away," Deathkit said darkly. "Stop dawdling and hurry up."

Sablekit rushed forward, making a point of trying to be ahead of Deathkit. "You're supposed to be in front of me anyway," she pointed out. "Deathkit, no one likes you," Smokekit told her. "You're a bore and you're always angry!" "I am not always angry," Deathkit growled back, her tail flicking. "I am perfectly content." "But you're always glaring at everyone!" At this, Deathkit stopped. "Whatever do you mean? This is my normal face..." "She's nearsighted," Ravenkit told Smokekit, then received a smack from Deathkit.

"Alright, we're here," Blackwhisker said, skidding in front of the apprentices. "Hi Ravenkit and Sablekit!" their half-siblings Dawnpaw and Cinnamonpaw exclaimed, coming over to give them friendly licks. Deathkit glowered at them, her lip curling. "Where's my 'hello, Deathkit'? 'Good morning', 'nice to see you there, Deathkit'?" The two glanced at one another, unsure of what to say. "Like I said," Smokekit told her, "no one likes you." "Dawnpaw!" Amberwood snapped. "Get back to training!" "Catch you later, kittens!" Dawnpaw called to them as she hopped away.

As they watched the apprentices learn to climb trees, Sablekit suddenly cried, "I bet I can climb this tree faster than the rest of you!" "Break a leg," Deathkit told him. Ravenkit was enthusiastic though, and the two climbed up the tree as fast as they could. Ravenkit was smaller and quick to leap from branch to branch of the dead tree and ended up climbing it much faster than Sablekit. "I win!" she crowed.

And that was how they got stuck in the tree, mostly because Deathkit was not sympathetic enough to tell Blackwhisker.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐨.

Fog's fur fluffed against the onslaught of the wind. Her mate's scent had concreted itself around a basin in the mountains that cats weaved in and out of frequently. A clan. Haze's kits would be coming soon, the big she-cat knew, and if she wanted to be there for the birth of her kits, she needed to make her move. The problem was, she didn't know whether or not the clan cats would be hostile, and she had picked up a straggler.
"This is a lot of sitting about and waiting for nothing," the bengal tom grumbled, his own long fur puffed up against the howling gale as Fog gave him an amused look. Leopard was a nice enough young tom, albeit impatient and impulsive. He hadn't thought much of Fog's insistence on staking out the camp and keeping out of sight of the cats, but he also hadn't thought much about moving on to be on his lonesome again.
"Don't worry," Fog said, "we'll have to do something soon." Leopard grumbled, and his ears flattened against his head as he sulked. Fog simply waited. The patrols had all gone out already, one by one, splitting away into different sections of the territory. She had watched the big, smoky black tom and his equally big tabby mate lead their border patrol away. There was just one last thing to worry about. Slowly, but surely, apprentices and their mentors began to come from the clan's tunnel entrance, moving together in groups. "Okay. Now we go."
"Finally!" Leopard leapt to his feet, so much smoother on his paws than Fog. Together, the pair of them carefully descended the rocky face of the mountain, stepping carefully over the freshly fallen snow. The sounds inside the tunnel were muted, but Fog moved quietly, face taut with purpose, Leopard padding along silently behind her, simply happy to be moving again. The basin seemed alive with life when they emerged, even with most of the clan out and about.
An old black and white molly was laughing with a ginger tom, who had his tail pulled over his paws. A raggedy old tom lounged against a rock wall, heated by the Leafbare sun, as weak as it was. A few young warriors laughed together, while Haze was walking slow laps around the camp with a sunny ginger tom. Her head snapped up, and she whirled around at the exact same moment that Fog realized she had miscalculated; the beautiful colourpoint molly with sharp eyes and the tabby-point apprentice lifted her head from where she had been speaking to the young warriors, at the same moment that Haze shouted:
"Fog!"
She didn't need much more encouragement than that; Haze was moving toward her as quickly as she could, encumbered by her pregnant belly, so Fog closed the distance at double the pace, twining around her mate with a happy rumble, ducking her nose to touch it to the other molly's belly. Haze laughed, and cuffed her upside the ears with her tail, before the pair of them settled their foreheads together, rumbling a purr.
"Haze," Fog sighed, "are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"No, why would I be hurt?" She laughed, butting her head against Fog's affectionately, "I might be pregnant, you daft old thing, but I'm certainly not helpless. If they'd tried to keep me here against my will, I would have fought them all off easily. But here I am, gone and done the unthinkable- took a clan name with the intention to stay."
"Oh?" Fog's eyes slid across to Plumiris, the young clan she-cat that they'd been travelling with. She was smiling shyly at Fog from where she sat with the young warriors, who all looked curious but not disturbed by her presence. The sunny tom was smiling too, head cocked slightly as a pale ginger tom walked up to his shoulder, and a dilute calico on his other.
"Hazerise has been an excellent addition to the clan," a voice said, and Fog swung to face the colourpoint molly, coming toward her, "we're lucky to have her- and I'm aware she means to follow through and shred through all of us if she ever decides that the clan isn't for her anymore. I'm Sleetstar, leader of NorthernClan. I'm assuming you're Hazerise's mate, but who's your friend?" Fog chuckled a bit, swinging to face Leopard. The tom made a valiant effort to pretend he hadn't been staring at the young pale ginger tom with the sunny cat that Fog assumed was his father.
"Oh, we're not really friends," he said, "I'm Leopard."
"You call trailing me like a homesick kit 'not friends'?" Fog chuckled as Leopard huffed, ears flattening as he sulked. "He's my friend, even if he doesn't want to admit it, because I suppose being friends with old mollies doesn't exactly make him the coolest." Sleetstar chuckled as Fog laughed, a deep, belly laugh that had Hazerise snorting.
"Sometimes older mollies are the best friends you could possibly have, trust me on that one," she said, "NorthernClan is experiencing a time of great prosperity right now, even as we go into winter. We have a medicine cat- Poppywish- who has already made preparations toward making sure Plumiris and Hazerise kit safely in the poor weather, and we have plenty of warriors who would welcome new additions. And don't worry, Leopard we have plenty of warriors your age- Flamestream and Emberpetal, for example."
"Hey," said Flamestream with a crooked smile. Emberpetal simply purred and leaned her head against her father's.
"Well, I go where my mate is," Fog said, "I can't speak for Leopard, but... as far as I'm concerned, you've got yourself a new warrior, Sleetstar."
"Make that two," Leopard said, eyeing Flamestream again, "I've been on my own for far too long. It'll be nice to have a family again."

-

"You must be excited for your warrior ceremonies this evening," Plumiris said, watching as Lightningpaw and Brewingpaw smashed a moss ball between themselves as Wolfwhisker and Butterflyshine tried to intercept it, the rest of their teams calling out for a pass. Flamestream and Emberpetal had joined in, along with Bramblingrose and Whisperwind, and newcomer Leopardrunner. Fogbelly and Hazerise were supervising the game as Plumiris sat with Silverpaw and Sprucepaw, watching.
"Excited as you can be, I suppose," Lightningivy said with a crooked grin, before hissing as Duckbriar nimbly swooped through and scooped up the ball, flicking it overhead to Wolfwhisker who in turn batted it to Whisperwind with an elated laugh, cats sprinting after him as he moved nimbly toward the other end of the playing 'field', even with Bramblingrose leaning heavily on him in an attempt to steal the ball.
"Your warrior ceremony can't have been that long ago either," Sprucepaw reminded her, with a smile. Plumiris looked up at the big apprentice, with a small purr. "Well, that tells me you haven't forgotten. What was it like?"
"It was really... I don't even know how to describe it. Just knowing makes you so proud, and I was so excited I thought I was going to burst. I was running over all these names in my head... and somehow the one I got was better than all of them, and sitting vigil with my siblings and a few of our den mates..." Plumiris' face crinkled fondly, as she wrapped her tail around her belly. "I like to think back on that when I miss my parents. They made it clear that I didn't mean anything to them when they found out I was pregnant with kits from another clan, but... I can't help but miss how proud and how happy they were when I got my name."
"Parents are meant to love you unconditionally," Sprucepaw said, gently nudging his shoulder with hers, "I'm sorry that they did that to you, but... you do still have parents who love you, you know." Plumiris followed his gaze to where Fogbelly was grooming Hazerise between her ears, glancing up with a smile as Sunnynose and Winderstrike stopped in front of them to chat.
"I know," she said softly, before letting out a surprised squeal as the moss ball flew past her face. Duckbriar's paws slammed into the snow as she skidded to a halt, about a whisker's width away from bowling Plumiris over in her enthusiasm. The shy warrior gave a nervous laugh, her pelt growing hot at how close her nose was to Plumiris' maw, before she gave her a tight nod and weaved around her to chase after the ball. Embarrassed, Plumiris ducked her head to groom her chest fur, leaving Silverpaw to watch Duckbriar race back to the game insistently.
"What was that about?" Silverpaw asked, and Plumiris jumped.
"Nothing! There's nothing going on. It was about nothing." Sprucepaw squinted at Plumiris.
"Do you have a crush on Duckbriar?" Plumiris spluttered and stammered, and Sprucepaw chuckled. "Oh, you do."
"Duckbriar is really pretty, and really nice," Silverpaw offered, "she's not the worst cat in the world to have a crush on. You could have a crush on Sprucepaw." She grinned as her best friend gave her a cranky glare, flicking snow at her with his fluffy tail.
"Very funny. You're hilarious."
"I try," Silverpaw chuckled, sticking her tongue out at Sprucepaw. "Seriously, Plumiris, it's okay if you do, and Sprucepaw and I won't tell, promise."
"Yeah, I'm Willowpaw's brother and I haven't even told her that Silverpaw has a crush on her." Silverpaw rolled her eyes.
"If you want me to be embarrassed about liking a molly because she's tall and broad shouldered and just very handsome over all and she's also kind of a really good friend and brave and supportive then you're going to be waiting a while," Plumiris chuckled as Sprucepaw stuck his tongue out at Silverpaw, before spluttering as the lynx point she-cat scooped up a pawful of snow and mushed it into his face.
"I... guess I do have a crush on her," Plumiris said with a shy shrug, "I guess it's not anything serious, I just think she's very pretty and she seems really nice... but I guess it doesn't matter because she has a thing with Wolfwhisker, and I don't want to go through what I went through again." Sprucepaw and Silverpaw exchanged a glance, looking puzzled.
"What do you mean she has a thing with Wolfwhisker?" Sprucepaw asked, sounding puzzled. Plumiris looked between the two of them, confused.
"Does she... not?"
"No," Silverpaw said with a laugh, "they're just good friends- Wolfwhisker is quiet enough that Duckbriar feels comfortable around him and they trained together a lot at the end of their warrior days. If anything, Wolfwhisker has a thing with Brewingpaw, by which I mean Brewingpaw has a hugely obvious crush on him and Wolfwhisker is super oblivious but literally everyone else knows about it, including Duckbriar, and she is super not interested in him. They're just friends."
"Oh," said Plumiris, feeling her pelt get hot, "that's... good."
"What you went through is scary and I can't imagine how heartbreaking," Sprucepaw said, "and no one is expecting you to bounce back and recover super duper fast. But... it also can't hurt getting to know something that you have a crush on. Duckbriar is a good friend, and I think you need good friends right now. As great as Silverpaw and I are... you could always use more."
"You're very wise for someone so young," Plumiris said with a tinkling laugh, "and very tall."
"Yeah, he's kind of a freak of nature, isn't he?"
"Okay," Sprucepaw said flatly as he got to his paws with an amused roll of his eyes, padding toward his parents. As Plumiris and Silverpaw laughed, the sound of pure joy in the young queen's voice putting a smile on his face.

"This is it," Twilightflower said with a purr, nudging Brewingpaw's shoulder as the tom beamed brightly, "finally time for you rascals to get your names. Just know I'm proud of all of you and Tempestpaw? When you're up here, getting your warrior name, we'll all be cheering for you so loudly."
"I know, Mom," Tempestpaw chuckled, rubbing her cheek against her mother's as the smaller molly purred, "but tonight's about the others, and even if I'm super jealous and a little gutted not to be up there with you all, I'm gonna scream until my throat gives out for all of you." Her siblings crowded around her to crush her in an embrace as Tempestpaw laughed, licking them all on the forehead for good luck.
"Today, NorthernClan rejoices as some of our mentors have their pawfuls taken off of them, finally freeing them from shenanigans that no cat should have to deal with," the clan laughed a little as Sleetstar smiled, "since the day they became apprentices, these cats have shown again and again that they have the spirit of true NorthernClan warriors- strong and determined, but not without compassion and a deep love for their friends. Brewingpaw, Blizzardpaw and Lightningpaw step forward as I, Sleetstar, call upon the warrior ancestors of NorthernClan to see you: for you have trained hard to understand the code. Do you promise to uphold this code and to defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!" Called out Brewingpaw, and then each of his siblings in turn.
"Brewingpaw, the vow."
"To my clan, to my home, to the blood that binds; I pledge myself to the cliffs and the snow. The North is all."
"Then from this day forward, you will be known as Brewingice, for your cool and observant nature. StarClan honours your intelligence, and I am pleased to have such an intuitive cat as a member of NorthernClan. Honour him!" Cheers went up for Brewingice as he stepped forward to exchange ritual, beaming broadly at the she-cat. Sleetstar turned to Blizzardpaw, who didn't wait for her to ask, and called the vow out loud and proud. Sleetstar laughed, but it was a happy sound. "Then you will be known as Blizzardheart, for the strength of your spirit. StarClan honours your warmth, and I know the clan will fare well with someone so friendly and compassionate as a full warrior. Honour him!" Again, cries went up for the newest warrior, but none louder than those of Tempestpaw, who yowled for her siblings like every sound was the last one she would make.
"And finally... Lightningpaw. The vow." Lightningpaw spoke the vow firmly and confidently, eyes shining with pride as she faced Sleetstar. "Then you will be known from now on as Lightningivy, for your tenacity and unbreakable spirit. StarClan honours your loyalty, and I am proud to have you as a full warrior of NorthernClan. Honour her!" A last round of cheers went up for the new warriors, before Sleetstar silenced them by raising her tail. "Thank you all for being here to celebrate these new warriors. This clan has grown very much from where it started, and it is with the same determination, compassion, and spirit that we will continue to thrive. Everyone, enjoy your nights." She ducked her head, signalling the end of the ceremony, and the new warriors were immediately swarmed by their friends and former mentors, all yelling their congratulations.
"Blizzardheart!" The tom was laughing, pressing his forehead to Hollyfeather's, "can you believe it! That's such an honoured name, and I can't believe- whoo! Hollyfeather, I'm just so happy, thank you for everything!" The black and white molly laughed, touching her nose to his forehead.
"Hey, I just gave you instructions, everything else was up to you. Now enough emotional stuff, go hang out with your friends. You've only got a few minutes before the sun goes down." Blizzardheart nodded, beaming as he sprinted off to catch up to Snowpaw and Butterflyshine who welcome him enthusiastically, rubbing their cheeks against either one of his with happy purrs.
"You did good with him," Twilightflower said, making Hollyfeather jump, before she smiled.
"I could say the same to you," she said, watching as Brewingpaw laughed with Splitface and Brackenstrike, and Lightningpaw spoke confidently to Hawkeyes and Fallowstep. Tempestpaw weaved between her siblings, shouting her congratulations and touching noses with them happily. "You raised incredible kits, and you did it all on your own."
"Oh, I wasn't on my own. Look around, Hollyfeather, and really open your eyes- look at all my family; Splitface and Hawkeyes, who took my most inward kits and made them confident and friendly; Howlingeye who Tempestpaw adores... and you." Twilightflower smiled at Hollyfeather, warmly. "Maybe I don't have a mate, and maybe my kits don't have a formal father, but... we're not alone. Our family extends beyond blood." Hollyfeather's face softened, and she bumped shoulders with Twilightflower, lightly.
"You're right," she said, "you have a habit of making me see things that I'm too in my head to see."
"Do you see yet that your family is this clan as well?"
"Yeah," Hollyfeather said, locking eyes with Summitsky from across the camp as he mouthed 'congratulations', before pausing and turning to speak to Whisperwind, "yeah, I do."

The camp was quiet as patrols set out, older warriors picked over younger ones to brave the Leafbare weather. Mentors and their apprentices were gone too, leaving the queens and the elders with Poppywish and the small contingent of non-patrolling cats to defend the campground. Wolfwhisker didn't particularly mind being left behind; he knew it was no malice on his mother's part, and he liked hanging around the camp, taking a heavily pregnant Plumiris on turns around the campground before she tired and returned to the nursery to sleep.
"How's she doing?" Wolfwhisker looked up from where he was sunning himself near the entrance to camp to see Brewingice standing over him. He smiled up at his friend, struggling to sit up as the black tom settled across from him and swept his tail over his paws. Wolfwhisker flicked his ears with a little shrug.
"Plumiris is fine, although I worry about how many kits such a small cat could fit inside her. She looks like she could have a full six." Brewingice chuckled a little bit, shaking his head in amusement.
"That's just how pregnant cats look. Plumiris' fur is a little shorter than Hazerise's so it hides it less, but she's the exact same. The pair of them will be just fine, and everyone is very excited for their kits... except for perhaps Poppywish, who looks every day more and more like he's going to kill you if you speak to him." The pair of them laughed a little as Wolfwhisker shook his head, looking up to the dens just in time to see Poppywish dart out of the nursery and scurry into the medicine den, looking suitably frazzled.
"Poor dude," Wolfwhisker said, "he's just doing his best."
"Everyone is, and he's doing a great job. I don't think he likes seeing me up there now, not with kittings on the horizon." Wolfwhisker looked puzzled.
"Why wouldn't he want you there? Poppywish doesn't strike me as extremely superstitious." Brewingice chuckled, and shook his head a little.
"Not for that reason. I think seeing any of us reminds him of Stormkit and Hurricanekit. He couldn't save them." Wolfwhisker and Brewingice fell silent, thinking about that. None of the siblings really remembered the deceased pair, eyes not even open when they had died. It was easy to forget it had happened at all, a feeling that made Wolfwhisker a little uneasy. Death usually resonated so powerfully within the clan, it felt strange to think of two kits being gone as inconsequential.
"I forgot," he said quietly, "that seems like so long ago now."
"That's because it was," Brewingice said with a little smile, "I know Mom still thinks about them every now and again, but none of us have any memories of them, we only know they were alive for a very short time and we never really bonded with them because of that. There's not much to say, other than I'm sure they're happy in StarClan, playing to their heart's content. An eternal kithood and all that. I just feel bad that Poppywish seems so upset about it... like he's started kicking himself for it so much after the fact, even though the clan was so small back then and he wasn't prepared because he'd had so little time to prepare."
"You know Poppywish... he overthinks everything," Wolfwhisker said, "maybe we should send Sprucepaw to annoy him again. It's kind of funny how good he is at sorting things out... I forget he's quite a bit younger than us, you know? When he speaks, it always makes me think he ought to be older than he is. He's taller than me, anyhow."
"Taller than me, too," Brewingice admitted, grudgingly, "I thought we were going to be some of the biggest cats in the clan since it's clear from Tempestpaw and me and that our father was probably a maine coon but Willowpaw and Sprucepaw are both bigger than me now, and Sprucepaw's even bigger than Tempestpaw. I don't know about Willowpaw yet but I'm betting she'll get there." Wolfwhisker chuckled, flicking a bit of snow at his friend.
"Oh, I'm so sorry that a young apprentice is showing you up for being so tall. Whatever will you do?"
"Challenge you to a spar for mocking me, I suppose," Brewingice chuckled, "I've got to keep sharp somehow." He launched at Wolfwhisker, then, as the grey tom let out a yell, the pair of them tumbling to the ground. Brewingice was bigger than the other tom, but Wolfwhisker was nimble and made up for what he lacked in strength with agility. The two toms rolled around in the snow, batting at each other and pushing each other away, only to launch back in, before Wolfwhisker flipped Brewingice and pinned him into the ground.
They were both laughing, Wolfwhisker's eyes scrunched up closed as Brewingice gazed up at him fondly. Wolfwhisker opened his eyes, blinking down at the black tom, who looked away, as if embarrassed to be caught. He cocked his head to the side a little, laugh still bubbling in his throat. "What?"
"It's nothing- it's not important at least," Brewingice said, turning back to Wolfwhisker with a smile, "best two out of three?" Wolfwhisker laughed.
"You're on."

Waiting was the hardest part.
He had never been good at waiting, had never been too patient. Life at the barn had been slow and he had needed to fill it up. Midnightblaze had been good for that once, had followed willingly and made the days full. And then he had taken everything away. And so now he needed to pay.
The clan was bustling, even in winter. He watched as patrols came and went, saw cats with younger cats, teaching them things. He scouted high, settled on crags where he could watch a brilliant ginger tom squeeze out of a crevice out the back of the basin to pick herbs from a ledge, and then duck back in. He watched a haggard looking old cat wiggle out from a secret back entrance and continue down into the territory. He filed it away for later.
Mostly, he watched Midnightblaze, laughing with his daughters. They were together again, all of them, playing happy families without him like he hadn't existed, as if they would still exist if it were not for him. He saw Primrose laughing with her sisters and felt fury- at least the other two looked a bit like their other father, but Primrose looked like him. She was his, and Midnightblaze had stolen her away. Had stolen them all, just like he'd been planing to do all along. He had known then, but no one else had seen it. He had been right to try and put Midnightblaze where he belonged. Now, he would have to get revenge, to show them all he had been right.
He had to wait.
He waited for the better part of the moon; got to know the cats, hunkered low next to patrols and learned names. Koi's grey and white friend that she spoke shyly too, with nervous, stilted laughter and gentle fondness in her tone was Viridianfire; the booming brown and white tomcat with a laugh that shook the trees was Birchfang, his little ginger mate; Waspshine. Selene's friend, the cheeky ginger with a cackling laugh and a broad smile was Foxspring. Primrose seemed fond of a black and white tom, Winderstrike, and a blind tabby, Bearears. But most infuriating of all was Summitsky.
He knew when Midnightblaze was in love- he had seen what the tom had been like toward him, once upon a time, and it made his blood boil to see him look that way at someone else. Adoration, that was the term- to see his wide, mismatched eyes gaze up at the sturdy grey tom as if he'd single handedly placed the stars of Silverpelt. The idea of being replaced was anathema to him, and he would have to do something about that cat. There was no other father for his girls than him. Midnightblaze was a fool if he could not see that.
The she-cat came to him two days before he planned to make his move. "You're taking your time," she said evenly, her white tail wrapped around her paws.
"I didn't realize that StarClan had a time limit," he said coolly, "you're not a very patient cat, are you?" The she-cat chuckled her tinkling laugh, but he knew better than to hear the laugh and miss the sharpness in her eyes; the coldness.
"I simply don't understand what you could be waiting for, after I guided you back to your family. Is it not what you wanted? To see them again?" He blinked at her, and then cocked his head. Blue eyes met blue. A standoff.
"I have unfinished business. It requires delicacy." He had said. She had laughed, and then she had vanished into the treeline. He felt cold in her wake, but the territory was plunged into Leafbare, and he thought little of it. He went back to watching, and waiting. He had to get every move perfect, every move right, in order to destroy Midnightblaze's life the same way he had destroyed his. He would have one chance, and failure was simply not an option.
The sun was setting when he finally moved- he knew from his watching that the clan would all be inside by now, would be unwilling witnesses to the treachery of Midnightblaze, exposed before all of them. He climbed the embankment behind the clan, where the bedraggled stranger had climbed out of so many times over the past moon. The smell of cats was strong, but he zeroed in on a familiar one, and followed it through the twisting cavern, before he broke through a crevice, and into the camp.
"-wrong," Midnightblaze was saying, looking fraught as Summitsky and a brown colourpoint that he did not recognized crowded him with concern. Midnightblaze's whole body stiffened, before he whipped around, panicked eyes locking with his own, halfway across the camp. "No," he said, voice raw, "no, no no no no."
"Yes," he chuckled, flicking his destroyed ear, "it's been a long time, hasn't it? Are you not happy to see me." He watched as Summitsky moved, placed the bulk of his body in front of the shaking black and white tom, while the colourpoint bristled, blue eyes glaring hard at him. "How sweet," he said sarcastically, "this is what you replace me with?"
"He's not replacing you," Summitsky said, "you need to leave."
"I came here for my girls, and I won't leave without them," he turned, scanning the camp, his eyes picking out Koi, looking furious as she stood between Viridianfire and a bobtail calico that he didn't recognize. Primrose looked shocked, standing with a worried looking Selene, whose shoulder was pressed tight against Foxspring's. It was a little different to how he had anticipated it being, but he could see everyone. He would not be surprised.
"You should go," said a cold voice, and he lazily turned his head to see the colourpoint she-cat he'd come to know as Sleetstar, from the StarClan molly's visions, staring at him, "you are not welcome in my clan, Rafe. Not for what you did to Midnightblaze. I've no hesitation to run you out."
"I see his lies have spread to you too," Rafe said, with a shrug, "I should have expected it, really, for you all to let poison like him stay here for so long." Summitsky growled, deep in his throat, but Rafe continued. "I just came to get my daughters, to tell them the truth of what happened so we can be a family again, a proper family." Koi's hiss drew his attention, her fur bristling as she stalked forward.
"We know what happened, you lying, vindictive piece of fox dung. We all know what you did to Dad, all of us, and we'll never forgive you. You're going to get out of our clan right now, or I'm going to make you."
"Koi... have you really let them brainwash you like this? You were always such a smart little girl, I don't understand what happened! Surely you aren't foolish enough to believe the lies meant to poison you against your father?"
"I wasn't smart enough, apparently," she said coldly, "my name is Koishimmer, I see clearly now, and you are not my father." Something twisted in Rafe's expression then, turned his bright blue eyes cold and hard, before his ears flattened and with a powerful swipe, his claws raked across Koishimmer's throat, sending her stumbling to the ground with a shocked gasp.
"Koishimmer!" Viridianfire tried to launch forward, but a big smoky tom caught her by the scruff, holding her still as Midnightblaze shouldered around Summitsky to race to Koishimmer's side, eyes wide and body shaking violently. Howlingeye and Summitsky advanced, moving up to flank him again, shielding him from Rafe.
"Don't," said the black tom, "if we all rush in, we'll be injuring each other. He knows we can't touch him." The flame point tom didn't seem to care, moving toward Primrose and Selene. Primrose shrank back, and Rafe laughed, although it was a tad maniacal.
"Surely you're not scared of your father, Primrose? Koi is just being silly, being rude, but we know you're not like that. You were always so good, such a perfect angel, never had a bad word to say about anyone. And Selene... so rational, so composed. I know you see things clearly, my darling, I know your eyes and your ears haven't been clouded by the poison of this clan, this place... I know I can trust you still."
"You hurt my sister," the black she-cat said, "which means you hurt me. I don't trust you. Like Koishimmer said, you are not my father." Rafe bared his teeth in a hiss, lunging for her throat. Black flashed across his vision as Selene hit the ground with a surprised 'oof', and his teeth clamped down on the neck of a ginger tom who hissed at the pain, swaying unsteadily as Rafe pulled back, maw dark with blood.
"Have you all abandoned me? Have you all been so stupid as to fall for such blatant lies? So careless that you would choose him over me?" He rounded on Midnightblaze, who was propping Koishimmer up, eyes hardened with resolution now. "You... you did this. I tried to tell you. To show you. Warn you what would happen if you continued with your ways... but you wouldn't listen. You destroyed my life, and so now, I'm going to destroy yours."
"I told you if you came back I'd kill you," Midnightblaze said, but his voice wavered just a little, "and I meant it."
"We'll see about that." He lunged first for Koishimmer, but Howlingeye's form flashed into his vision, and as the tom leaped forward, Rafe changed directions and smashed his shoulder into his chest, sending the smaller tom flying. He hit the ground hard, on his side and rolled, Poppywish's ginger form streaking toward him instantly. Rafe spun, and slashed his claws across Summitsky's forehead, before he tackled him into the ground. The big tom yowled, crying out as claws dug into his abdomen, Rafe's laugh echoing into the basin.
"Stop!" Sleetstar screamed. "Stop, leave him alone!" She was moving toward him, fast, her claws unsheathed and her face full of fury. Rafe lifted a paw, wiggling his bloodied claws as Summitsky winced at the weight on top of him, breathing shallowly to avoid digging the claws deeper into him.
"I wouldn't come any closer if I were you," Rafe sing-songed, "I don't think it was very good of Summitsky to move in on my mate when I was still around. Just because we were having a minor dispute, Summitsky, does not mean you should go around chatting up a tom's mate." Summitsky closed his eyes, gritting his teeth. "Oh, that's sweet. I was in love with him once, too, and look how that turned out for me! You think he won't turn on you? You think he won't hurt you the way he hurt me?"
"I'm not you," Summitsky said, even and steady, "I'm better." Rafe hissed, smashing his claws along Summitsky's throat, drawing a scream from Sleetstar and a blooming red trail in their wake. He hopped off of the other tom, making his way toward Midnightblaze. Koishimmer struggled to her paws in front of her father, green eyes boring into him as her fur ruffled and she hissed, but Rafe batted her aside with one paw as if she weighed nothing.
"Finally," he said, as Midnightblaze backed away from him, "you have no idea how long I've waited for this moment, to take back everything that you took from me." He smashed his paw across Midnightblaze's face as the tom flinched, sending him stumbling and collapsing to the ground. "Still so weak. Did you feel safe here? Did you think I would forget about your betrayal? I was there for you through everything, loved you even when I didn't have to, and you repay me by taking my kits away?"
"You weren't good to me," Midnightblaze hissed, "you hurt me, like you're hurting me now. You wanted to control me. You didn't love me, you loved the power I gave you. But you don't have it anymore."
"Don't I?" Rafe slammed his paw down on Midnightblaze's throat. "Because it feels like I do. But I don't want you to die now, Midnightblaze, I want everyone here to see what a fraud, what a liar you are. I want them to see how you'll betray them the same way you'll betray me. Was it not enough to have me, did you have to have someone else as well? Have to take my kits away from me so I would be left with nothing?"
"There was no one else," Midnightblaze was sobbing now, raking his claws down Rafe's unmoving foreleg, "there was only them. They were more important than you were."
"So I just wasn't good enough for you?"
"You were my world! I weathered so much because I loved you too much to worry about how you hurt me! But it's not about me anymore. It's about them. Everything I do- everything I did is for them. And I won't let you hurt them, and I won't let you hurt me. You don't have that power anymore."
"Liar!" Rafe's screech bounced off the walls of the basin as he slashed at Midnightblaze's face, dragging his claws down his cheek. Midnightblaze cried out, but he flipped onto his back as Rafe began wailing blows, claws ripping tufts of fur from the other's belly and painting it red with blood. Midnightblaze's leg kicked out, suddenly, sharply, and caught Rafe in the jaw. The tom staggered back, as Midnightblaze rolled onto his side, breath heaving.
"Kill me," Rafe laughed, "you can't even face me! You're as weak as you were back then. So desperate for someone to love you, to care for you, to accept you. You would have settled for anyone, really, and it was so easy to make you love me. It's such a shame you stopped. We could have been great. But now. Now you have to pay for what you did. Pay for how you've made me suffer. I think I'll start with your ear, right here, where everyone can watch so they know how you tried to chase me away." Rafe struggled to his paws, claws scraping along the ground as he made his way toward Midnightblaze, who couldn't even struggle to his paws. "Poor little Midnightblaze, still too much of a coward to ever really stand up for himself. I liked it when you had a backbone. It made you more fun to break." Rafe lifted his paw, and then he was flying.
His body felt weightless, being lifted through the air, before his head thudded hard against the ground, shoulders and back painfully pinned into the rock, sending sharp, white-hot pain whipping down his spine. On top of him, Midnightblaze's forelegs shook, weak with pain and panic, but his eyes blazed with raw fury. Rafe's maniacal smile broke back onto his maw as the black and white tomcat spat, tail lashing.
"You haven't broken me, not now, and you never will. As long as my girls are alive, I will have the strength to keep fighting, to protect them, most of all from you. I won't let you hurt them, and I won't let you manipulate me the way you used to when I was still too in love with you to see the kind of sick and twisted monster you really are. I know where my priorities are, and I'll do anything to protect them. Maybe that makes me a bad cat, but if it's for them then it's worth it, and you should fear me for what the love I have for them will drive me to do to cats like you that threaten them."
"Do it then," Rafe laughed, as Midnightblaze faltered. His back paws slammed up, into the other's stomach, eliciting a pained cry as he was lifted, before he hit the ground hard. Rafe staggered to his paws, body aching from the fall. "Pathetic. All the speeches in the world can't save you from action. That's where it's really important: those that say, and those that do. And I have no intention of simply saying, unlike you. You can't kill me-"
"But I can." Rafe's bad ear twitched, just in time for Howlingeye's wiry body to slam into him, pinning him to the ground, one paw on his throat to hold him in place. Rafe wheezed, panicking when no air entered his lungs. "Strength isn't about how many cats you can fight off or who you can hurt. Strength is the ability to weather insurmountable pain and come out the other side standing. Midnightblaze is stronger than any cat I know, and when you are returned to the earth he will stand again, and he will live, and he will thrive."
"Are you really going to fight his battles for him?" Rafe sneered, his voiced choked beyond the paw. "What do you expect? His love?"
"I already have it, because I'm his friend, and friends have each other's back. I'm not fighting his battle for him. I'm ending it." Howlingeye's eyes were hard and cold. Rafe suddenly felt a chill of panic sweep over him. "I release you to the shadows," Howlingeye said and Rafe shook his head roughly, struggling now, "may you prowl them in eternity, but never again set living paw on this plane."
"No-" Rafe shrieked, but it was too late. Howlingeye's jaws clamped shut over his throat, and the shriek died with them. He was still. Howlingeye pulled back, and spat, stepping away from the body. The whole clan was silent, Midnightblaze just inches away and shaking with panic, breathing laboured and high-pitched. Sleetstar muscled Summitsky's bigger form to his paws, staggering under his weight.
"Howlingeye-" she started, voice raw with pain for the other tom.
"Sometimes, when you've done as many bad things as I have," he replied, with a wan smile, "you have to strike the blow so that someone better than you doesn't have to." Midnightblaze broke into sobs then, collapsing in on himself. The clan was no longer still; everyone burst into action, Virdianfire released by Thunderjaw as the pair of them hurried to the injured, Virdianfire helping Koishimmer to her paws as Thunderjaw curled around Midnightblaze, wrapping his tail around him and cradling him fiercely into his side as the other tom cried. Primrose and Selene helped Foxspring to shaky paws as Sunnynose and Winderstrike sprinted across to him, Sunnynose fraught with panic.
In all the flurry of motion, cats suddenly searching for crevices that Rafe could have come through, the young warriors dragging a bramble barrier across the tunnel entrance, injured cats being marched one by one to the medicine den; Howlingeye remained a still beacon, face drawn and taught as he stared into the distance. The camp cleared out and snow bore down, howling around him and covering his paws in pure white, obscuring Rafe's drying blood from the world.
A nose touched his shoulder. He jumped, and looked up to see Minkfur with sad eyes, staring back at him. Howlingeye looked away, ashamed of what he would find, but Minkfur simply pressed her shoulder into his, and tilted her forehead to rest on the crown of his own. The tenderness of her touch surprised him, and the grief at the surprise bubbled up with such a force that he had no time to tamp it down. The first sob escaped, anguished and desperate, and then another and another. As a blizzard set in, covering Rafe's body in a peaceful drift, Howlingeye leant into the sturdy beacon of comfort that was Minkfur's shoulder, and he cried.

Ravenclan, named after the ravens seen frequently around thair terrirtory, is a group of cats that reside in an old Louisiana cemetery. The cemetery is no longer 'open' and many graves have been relocated, leaving empty spaces in the ground and in buildings. The main camp is a square section with small, empty mausoleums. The doors and plaques have been removed/knocked in, leaving dens for the cats. Inside, they are relatively clean, but there are some vines and moss. There are indents in the walls where the cats sleep. Usually, mates or close friends will share a sleeping space. The largest mausoleum is taken by the warriors. The apprentices, nursery, and elders have their own as well (largest to smallest). The leader's den is opposite the warriors and has another, smaller building branching off of it, which is used as the shaman's den.

The shaman has equal power to the leader. The cats of RavenClan are extremely religious and often use the words of their ancestors to guide them. When the spirits have something to say, a raven will appear on a specific headstone behind the shaman's den, waiting to lead the shaman to the spirit stone. The death of a shaman is an extremely sad occasion, and all cats will hold a silent vigil through the night. All of the shamans are buried in a separate place, near the spirit stone. To determine the next shaman, the raven will lead the shaman to the stone to receive the name of the lucky kit. The kit must prove that they have the Shaman's Gift of talking with spirits and determining omens before they are fully trained as a shaman. Shamans are almost always male, but occasionally a female will be chosen. Due to this, shamans are allowed to take a mate and kits, but they can only have one litter.

Forbidden relationships aren't so forbidden in RavenClan. Though many others may see the Clan as peculiar and a bit crazy, they are actually very level-headed. They do not think that a cat should be separated from those he or she loves, regardless of Clan, gender, and other factors. Their only requirement is that at least one kit is raised in RavenClan. However there are some restrictions. Usually cats can only take one mate, even if they pass. Of course, cats can take another mate, but not at the same time.

Ravenclan's territory is the cemetery in its entirety. They can find mice, rats, rabbits, and squirrels throughout. However there is also a river near the cemetery. There they fish and can find frogs. They will never eat a bird, since they believe birds are the gateway to the spirits. A dead bird is always a bad omen. Many kits are named after birds for good success.

Most cats are strays from the surrounding town. They can be any breed, but extremely fluffy cats aren't common. Oriental cats seem to be very common, as well as other shorthaired cats. Any pelt colors can be found.
