[final fantasy]

PoppyClan
The large lynx-point feline skipped across the fields, her lithe, striped paws easily skidding over the beautiful red flowers underpaw. She was alert, and you could easily tell. Her sky-blue eyes swept over the horizon as if searching for something that was unseen. Raising her small grey striped muzzle, she inhaled a soft breath and breathed out, seeing her faint breath billow in front of her. A range of scents strongly bathed her tongue, some pleasant, some not so much.

For a moment, she paused, taking a break from her mini self-patrol to skip over to a nearly puddle, watching her wavering reflection for a moment before leaning down and lapping up a few drops of cold water, the blissful feeling flooding her tongue and cooling her dry throat. Lynxstar's entire body relaxed at the satisfying feeling as she swiped her tongue around her now damp jaws before rising to her paws and turning away from the puddle.

She then continued her small trek, scurrying across the beautiful, breezy fields at the wind tugged her pelt and her paws skipped across the grass gracefully. She spun around as a pang of hunger tugged at her belly, and she decided she would hunt. She searched for a meal.

Daybreak padded with soft, cautious steps. Her ears were pricked and alert as her eyes scanned the forest around her. She knew that snow had begun to fall; the ground was already coated with a thick sheet of it. The ice stung her paws with every step she took, and the cold wind nipped at her nose. It was important that she hunted, though, prey was running low and would continue to become more scarce.

Soon enough, Daybreak had made her way to a small clearing near the now-frozen river. She still had no luck with foraging and was growing more disheartened. Pausing for a moment to recollect herself, she gazed at the towering trees that surrounded her. She could climb to get to higher ground. Daybreak shook her head. She was barely able to climb to the lower branches by camp, and these were much farther from the ground. The best option was to continue searching in hopes that something would turn up. Getting back on her paws, the she-cat continued her journey.

[Joke's On You]

It was early morning in the forest. Snow fell slowly that morning, adding onto the heep of snow that was already left on the ground from snowfall from the previous days. Adder's Poison was snug in his nest, next to his mate, Foxtail. His head had been laid next to hers, and when he awoke, he was immediately been greeted by her beautiful gaze. She greeted him with a smile, and he returned that smile and nuzzled her. "Good morning." The black tom murmured to Foxtail as he slowly arose from their nest to get started with the duties he had as a leader. He looked at Foxtail as she slowly arose to accompany him out of the den. She slowly approached him, brushing up against him slightly. The two exited the den together, only to be greeted by the already awaken clan. Each member greeted the two with smiles, gathering around the log in which Adder always went to announce the patrol assignments. Adder jumped onto the log and sat in the cold snow. "Good morning to everyone. I apologize deeply for being so late with today's assignments. But as you all know, it's clearly Leaf-Bare, and we must continue to gather supplies if we plan to survive. With help from the spirits, we will all make it." Adder looked down at his clan members, picking out who to send out for patrol this morning. "Mapleleaf, Spiritcaster, Badgerclaw, and myself will all be going on patrol this morning. Everyone else is dismissed."

The gathering of cats broke apart, and the cats who were meant to go on patrol all gathered together. Adder approached the group, his head held high. "I haven't accompanied my warriors on a patrol in awhile. Figured I might come along now to make up for my lack of patrols recently." His gaze fell upon all the patrol members at some point while he talked. He then turned to Mapleleaf, the newest warrior of the clan, and his daughter. "And this is your first patrol as a warrior, Mapleleaf. Why don't we make it a great one?" Adder's Poison grinned. The other cats nodded in approval, agreeing that this patrol should be a special one with the newly promoted warrior at their side. So with that, Adder led the patrol out of camp and into their great territory in the forest. His hopes was that they would find some food. That was the most important thing to him. Food for the clan during a Leaf-Bare that he knew would be quite unbearable.

The sun was high in the sky when Daybreak finally managed to catch a scent of some prey. With her ears perked up, she followed it, stepping softly over the thin layer of snow. She took a turn and found herself in a small clearing that the cold has not yet reached. Herbs will be especially useful in the upcoming months, so she decided to gather up as many as she could carry. It took longer than expected and the scent of her would-be prey faded away. +1 Lungwort, +1 Stinging Nettle, +1 Chickweed, +1 Wild Garlic, +4XP

The group of cats were all walking along, the snow crunching under their paws ever so slightly. Then out of nowhere mapleleaf darted forward. She turned several times sporadically, kicking up snow clouds in the process. The others watched in confusion at this display. This isnt because she's excited by the snow is it? No, soon enough the she-cat came trotting back to the group carrying a skrawny looking shrew. +2FP, +1 shrew, +2XP Although they looked; no cat could find any herbs in this winter wonderland.

Streamstar yawned as she laid in her den as the faint light of the day peeked through the ivy in front of the entrance. Slowly she got up stretching along the way and shaking out her fur a little. Getting rid of moss that had stuck to it as she slept. Padding out of the den the cool air hitting her face snow crunching beneath her paws. Knowing she must go out to patrol the borders of the territory to her clan. So quietly she padded toward the moss hallow log that had ivy covering the holes. These of which are the entrance out and into her camp. As the last of the ivy slide around and off her body she looked at the rising sun. Which was nearing to when it would be fulling in the sky. Her instincts told her to head east first so that is what she did. The soft snow making a light sound beneath her feet as she walked across it.

“your parents would have been so proud of you.”

And yet those words felt like ice when it came down to the truth, Kiri wasn’t all entire sure that his parents would be so proud of a weak link in the family line, but the blue smoke shook his head, and felt his fur slowly ruffle in discomfort at the mere sentence spoken, time and again for prior towards his advancement up in the ranks, from the heir to now leading the kingdom has his ancestors has done, years prior. Kiri found himself once more padding onwards, tail lowly flicking back and forth in his venture out of the temple grounds into the forest ahead of him.

At least there he could find some kind of freedom, away from the stifling pressure of him, acting his age. The snow was enough to stop him from moving onwards, it crunched under his paws, and there was no prey in the area at least, expect the seldom bird that was stupid enough to land for a brief respite before making their venture into warmer parts of the world.

There was still an unsettled amount of rebellion, and words that he wanted to say, that churned through his stomach, that made him clearly ill from just knowing that back there into the temple grounds, back into the world that held him responsible for anything that occurred onwards from that point on, he would be in charge and he would have to take account of the various lives that were responsible under his leadership,

After all, his advancement only became the truth when the weary old Hokage and his mate both passed at the same time, within days of one another, an unusual feat, but somewhat common at the same time.

Kiri was not prepared for this.

He was weak, and he was terrified.

Ill-prepared for what was about to come, and he knew that he had no choice but to do what he was supposed to do. Take charge and depend on his support onto those who were willing to support and protect him, gather those who he would deem that would lay their lives for him, or die trying to find some common ground in this pit of vipers and murders.

Now the tom was now exploring the forest, he did not care about what he founded. The snow that wet his paws, and made his trekking even harder has he moved onwards, ears pricked for the slightest of noises, and just waiting for something to come after him, rather it be small or large. He did not mind at the moment, perhaps it was best to find some kind of prey animal, especially a burrowing mouse.

Sniffing around he managed to pick up a scent of prey. He followed it up to a tall tree. It seemed to come from underneath the snow. After a couple of moments of digging with his paws, he found it. To his disappointment, it wasn't a plump mouse, like he expected, but just some leftover scraps. Oh well, better than nothing. +1FP, +1 scraps, +1XP
With the snow brushed away, the ground revealed two useful herbs, probably brought here by some other animal and preserved in the cold. +1 Water Hemlock, +1 Willow Leaves, +2XP

The world covered in snow, was shining in the early morning rays. Though there was one place shining more brightly than the rest. Kiri decided to investigate and found an item, half-buried in the soft white snow. +1 Star's Blessing (guarantees 3+ kit litter), +1XP

Going further on Kiri picked up an unfamiliar scent, though it seems to be a cat. Perhaps a rogue. Was it exactly what he was looking for? Will he pursue the threat or ignore it?

Herbs, and remains of chicken bones with scraps of meat on the bone. That alone was something that, Kiri sighed seeing that both were necessary for each purpose, one would heal and one would keep an aching stomach from gnawing from throughout the winter months. The blue smoke tom kept walking hitting the scent of someone unfamiliar, a stranger.

Kiri found it unusual that someone was wandering in the terrain unusual, his tail slowly flicking back and forth. How would he approach this stranger, and he kept walking towards the scent following it, hopefully, it would be someone that would want to join, and not presume that he was willing or an easy target?

He looked an easy target, but he trained the like the rest of his clanmates that he was more than prepared to send whoever packing when the situation arises. The piety that his fur color was not of the snow, and he would easily have had an advantage, striking out onto the unknown cat.

Pushing himself onto the ground, with his haunches pressed to the ground, tail striking low and quick. Awaiting the moment to strike with all the attention and mannerism of a trained cat of the court of orchids.

Now everything in his body told him to keep hidden, kept his scent away from the wind, and make his paws as light as possible in the snow, which was deemed to be almost impossible but the effort was well known and a drastic measure to say at least, now that he was going after the scent, keeping his breathing shallow, and hoping that he stood a chance here.
