Darkest Shadows (A Warrior RP) - OPEN NOW!

[WildlingQueen]

Many many moons ago, a group of cats whose names were long forgotten, found a
place of peace and prosperity within the forest’s shadows. The territory was divid
ed into two, those who had a knack for hunting in the trees and sifting through th
ick undergrowth of the forest became what is now Spruceclan, and those who wer
e adapted to the darkness and prefered the rocky surface of the cliffside who bec
ame known as Rockclan. They took new names and found their place within the w
arrior code through visions from their ancestors. The cats became clans, setting t
heir territory markers and defending their borders. For many generations the clan
s have lived peacefully side by side with few border skirmishes and plenty of prey
to go around. However, a silent threat lurks in the shadows. Exiled after the birth
of her half-clan kits, Twistedheart has grown vengeful. Determined to retrieve her
kits from the Rockclan and destroy the two clans in the process she, along with he
r shadows friends, have begun to spin a web of lies that will destroy the clans for g
ood. Can the clans restore the peace or will the shadows of their pasts destroy the
m forever.

Spruceclan - the cats of Spruceclan are lean and slender, they are very strong climb
ers and are especially skilled at catching birds and squirrels though they are just as
good at hunting among thick underbrush. Their camp is situated in the middle of th
e forest, resting in a large dip in the earth surrounded by brambles. It is very rare f
or cats of Spruceclan to have long fur as they are meant to be able to slide through
the trees without issue. Spruceclan is known for attempting to squelch conflict with
words before claws and holds close to the warrior code.

Rockclan - the cats of Rockclan are more widely varied in size and shape. They have
a keen sense of sight in the darkness, far keener than that of Spruceclan and are ad
ept to living in darkness. Their camp is located against a steep cliff-face, their dens
situated in small caves within the cliffside. They are extremely good at rock climbin
g and have thick, hard paw pads to help them cling to stoney surfaces. They are goo
d at fishing prey out of small holes and hunting prey such as woodrats and marmots.
These cats are known to be fierce fighters, and while they follow the warrior code, t
hey are far more prone to using their claws before their words.

Dark Forest Cats - similar to the books, these are cats that belonged to the clans gen
erations ago. These cats chose to follow a dark path including violence and murder. T
hey no nothing but darkness and hate, and are the ones who have encouraged and co
ntinue to encourage Twistedhearts plans of destruction for the clans.

indent blackstar had woken a little while before the rest of the clan for she took solice in watching over them, keeping them safe. something she had not been able to do with her own sister and her kits. as she sat there in front of her den, she picked small bits of moss and feathers out of her tortioshell fur, green gaze pin pointing any movement within the clan. but there was no movement. the clan was as quiet as a mouse. they would be tucked up in their moss beds, pressing against each other for warmth, dreaming about this and that. she smiled ever so sadly. how she wished she could have someone to share her den with, it got awfully lonley and cold in there, and there was many a night she would be up late craving the touch of another cat. as she thought about her wishes, she noticed the golden aura of the sun rising heigher in the sky and she decided it was time to wake up her clan. letting out a loud and long meow, a signal for her clan to wake, the rockclan leader waited patiently as the clan began to come alive. some cats came out looking half awake, moss and bedding stuck to their fur, whilst others came bounding out, looking fresh and ready to face whatever the new day brought them.

as the molly watched proudly over her clan, her eyes swept over each cat as they left their dens and entered the camp, greeting each other and dipping their heads up at her, to which she dipped her head back or would offer a flick of her tail in greeting. there were two cats she was interested in talking to this morning. one was perhaps her closest friend, the white tom known as Blizzardheart. there was something about him that set her heart racing slightly, yet she was not entirely sure why. then there was Cindermist, her deputy. there was something important she had to talk to the fluffy grey molly about, and once her eyes settled on the deputies pelt she flicked her tail, signalling for the other molly to join Blackstar. once the deputy had joined her blackstar spoke "good morning cindermist. I hope you slept well" she meowed offering the molly a warm smile. she was rather close to cindermist, and saw her a good friend and a very good choice in deputy. "whilst the clan is waking up I wish to have a quick discussion about what we are to do with twistedheart's kits before you start sending out patrols." it would take some time for all the clan members to gather in the camp, so what better time to talk about the issue at hand. "once patrols have been sent out we can talk about the matter further"

indent swiftkit lay curled up next to his sisters, splashkit and lynxkit. his long tail curled up around him, and his paws covering his nose. as he lay there sleeping, he dreamt of running through the forest, or what he dreamed a forest to be, though he knew his clan hunted in the rocks around their camp. as he ran he could hear his sisters calling out to him as they raced after him, voices rining in the air, laugher filling his ears. he laughed as he leaped over a fallen log, his black and white fur flashing between the tears. there was a reason why he was called swiftkit afterall. he briefly stopped to make sure his sisters were with him, before continuing to run again, preparing to jump over an even bigger log. except this time he did not land, a loud meow ripped him rudely from his dreams and he bolted up right, the feeling of falling having woken him up. sighing in relief that he was stilll safe in his nest he nudged each of his sisters awake, licking the tips of their ears affentionally "wake up sleepy heads!" he chuckled.

indent mallowpaw lay curled up in her mossy nest, in the den she shared with the other apprentices. she had not dreamt of anything that night so felt rather refreshed as she slowly opened her pale blue eyes. blinking to get the sleep from her eyes, the molly glanced around the den and noticed the other apprentices were still sleeping. she smiled and curled up, happy to have another five minutes of sleep before she had to start her day.

indent never the one to be awake last, wildstorm had already been for an early morning hunt. on his hunt he had caught a squirrel and vole. not much, he was honest about that, but it would feed two clan members, and that was all that mattered. the scared white and ginger patched tom strolled into camp, different coloured eyes sweeping the area, noticing a few cats awake. he knew the clan would be waking up soon, and was glad he had been able to have the first few moments of the day to himself. he always felt like he could face the world after his early morning hunts.

Lynxkit opened her eyes slowly as she felt someone licking the tips of her ears. "Mama?" She asked groggily, yawning. She turned and realized it was Swiftkit, beaming down at her. She ducked her head in embarrasment. ''Oh, oops, sorry Splashkit." She barely hid how much she missed her mom. Sure, Twistedheart could be mean sometimes, but she loved them. She had weird morals and was kind of vengeful, but she was doing to protect them. Right? Surely Twistedheart couldn't actually hurt another cat too bad. Only if it was nessicary. Well... there was that one time when Splashkit and Swiftkit weren't there... Lynxkit shook her head. No, that was an accident. "What do you want to do today?" She asked quietly, sitting up.

Sagepaw sat silently in the medicine den, sorting herbs. His mentor had gone out of camp earlier, so he was alone. He took a deep breath, savoring the peaceful quiet of his lonesome den. His pink nose twitched as he held up a yarrow stalk and seperated it from a beech leaf. If he was going to be a medicine cat he really needed to get used to the sharp smell of herbs. He thought he heard something, but it was hard to tell as it came from the entrance, which was to the left of him, and he was nearly deaf in that ear.

Oceansnap twirled a leaf over her claws. She was still a bit out of breath from her recent training session and her heart was a bit too constricted for her liking. She huffed and ripped the leaf in frustration, trying to force herself to calm down.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

The early morning sun crept through the bramble covering of Willowstar’s den, dappling the rather small leader. Her eyes opened partially, crinkling against the bright light of day as she rose to her paws in a drawn out stretch, her mouth parting to reveal needle like teeth. With great reserve she nudged her way through the barrier, casting her eyes over the shifting cats of her clan. Shadowrunner was perched just below her den, watching the clan and handing out morning tasks. She shook out her pelt before leaping down to her deputies side. She offered him a curt nod, but did not speak, her eyes drifting between the cats of her clan. She searched for her brothers darker tabby pelt, barely catching the flick of his tail as he slipped through the camp entrance, his apprentice in tow. She had given him an apprentice at a young age, hoping the wild hate in his eyes would dull down if he had something to work for, something to put his energy into. She knew it was a decision the clan often questioned, he was the youngest warrior in the clan, but he had been given one of the most dedicated apprentices. He needed to learn before he became a danger to himself or the clan. She knew her choice was correct, eventually, others would see that, or at least she hoped. She turned to her deputy, touching his shoulder with the tip of her tail “I am going to take out a hunting party, watch the camp while I am away.” she remarked softly, dipping her head to the grey tom before trotting off into the jumble of cats. She paused before a black and white tom, his ears pricking at her notice “Starlingfrost, I would like you and Mallowpaw to join me for a hunt, if you could also grab Wolfclaw and Flickerpaw, I will meet you at the entrance” she dipped her head before turning away, letting the warrior take over the search for the other two as she trailed Waspsting’s scent to the entrance. She could scent fresh wounds on the warre, something relatively unusual considering there had been no fights recently, but it wasn’t just that that made her uncomfortable, it was the hollowed scent of rotting leaves and musky waters that seemed to cling to his own that made her hackles raise in discomfort.

WASPSTING

Waspsting could feel his heart hammering in his chest, his breaths coming in uneven huffs as he locked eyes with the white tom before him. “Good. Could be better though.” he remarked, a light snarl tinging his words. “I’ll try harder” Waspsting huffed, flicking his tail in frustration. As if he hadn’t already been trying, as if he hadn’t felt the stinging of wounds on his arms or watched his clanmates gaze as they looked upon him with wary concern in their eyes. As if he hadn’t exhausted himself every night to prove himself worthy of Marrowstar’s praise. “There is no try. You WILL do better” Marrowstar snarled, slashing one paw out, claws unsheathed. It grazed across Waspsting’s face, making his eyes water, blood pooling from the shallow tears in his skin. Waspsting let out a low growl but didn’t argue with the tom before him instead, he simply dipped his head. “Go. Be back here tonight, and I expect you to accomplish what I ask this time” and with that, the white tom turned away, flicking his tail dismissively.

Waspsting struggled to his feet as the sun slipped into the warriors den. Carefully, he cleaned his muzzle, making sure the blood had stopped pooling at the scratch wounds. He would need to see the medicine cat about it, but he would wait, he wanted to see Batpaw, to get out of camp for awhile and disappear into another life. He clawed his way out of the shallow den, his ears flicking forward, as he moved towards the apprentice den. Gently, he shook the she-cat awake, his piercing green eyes gazing down at her “Come on, lazy bones, lets get a move on” he purred, withdrawing from the warriors den as he awaited his apprentice. When she at last joined him he gave her a quick flick on the ear with his tail and made for the camp entrance “Battle training and then hunting. Good?” he asked, slightly brusk, doing his best not to show how tired he truly was nor the scraps on his face that looked much to much like cat claws.

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Twistedheart shifted uncomfortable against the cold hard ground. Three days on her own had proved exhausting beyond reason. There were three tiny pieces of her missing, an emptiness she could never replace. A silence had filled her makeshift den on the outskirts of Rockclan territory, once that had deadly consequences. She shook herself awake, trying desperately not to linger on the thought of her missing kits as her stomach rumbled angrily. She needed to see Starlingfrost, she needed to hear his voice, to beg for his help. Steadily, she followed the scent of Spruceclan, picking her way carefully through the underbrush, alert for any sounds of her recently removed clanmates, but no sounds came and as she reached the border of Spruceclan she began to pace. How long would it be before Starlingfrost came to this side of the territory? Would he even bother to see her now? Fear crackled through her like fire, digging into her already broken heart. She heaved as sigh and slumped over at the edge of her territory.

SPLASHKIT

────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Splashkit jolted awake at the sound of her brother’s voice, her oddly colored eyes flashing with irritation. “I was sleeping, you know” she murmured curling back up and tucking her muzzle under her tail. That didn’t seem to deter either of her siblings from using their voices loudly. With reluctance, she stretched her forepaws and sat upright. While they decided what to do with the day, Splashpaw shimmied up to the edge of the nursery, watching the others as they scurried about their day. It was strange, not scenting her mother nearby. She felt a hollow pang of sadness but she would never betray it to either of her siblings. She looked up to where the deputy had just joined the leader, and for a split second she could have sworn the deputy's eyes flickered towards her. Startled, she sank back into the den and looked to her siblings “I think Blackstar and Cindermist are talking about us” she murmured, flashing her eyes between her siblings.

Hemlockeye
39m - Female - Warrior of Rockclan - Apprentice: Icepaw
Tags: Open - Mentions: Icepaw, Cindermist & Blackstar

Mismatched eyes snapped open as a mostly white feline awoke, tail tightly wrapped around her body. With a sigh, the she-cat got to her paws, rolling her shoulders before padding out of the warrior's den. Pausing at the mouth of the den she glanced around noting that Blackstar was already talking with Cindermist, absently dismissing the two from her mind. Letting out a hum of consideration, the cat padded over to the prey-pile and picked out something small to eat. After she finished eating she would start her morning grooming, before getting Icepaw for a patrol or training. But until then, she would relax, eat, and groom herself.

Yarrowfoot
39m - Male - Warrior of Rockclan - Apprentice: none
Tags: open - Tags: Cindermist & Blackstar

Late-night hunting had always been one of Yarrowfoot's favorite things to do. It wasn't often prey was caught, but it was always peaceful. While he called it late-night hunting, Yarrowfoot rarely did any hunting when in solitude. He was in one of his favorite places to go and think of whatever was troubling him, somewhere he often went. But this on the first time he'd stayed so late. The sun was still raising and yet, he was still sitting there. Thinking. Pondering. The song of a nearby bird started him out of his thoughts, and upon realizing what time it was, the big white tom got up and started the trek back to camp. He hoped that he'd get back before Blackstar or Cindermist noticed, but somehow doubted they would. After all, they had other things to worry about.

Starlingfrost
32m - Male - Warrior of Spruceclan - Apprentice: Mallowpaw
Tags: Willowstar, Wolfclaw - Mentions: Mallowpaw, Flickerpaw

Morning's were never his favorite time of day, even less so when his apprentice was awake. The nine-moon-old apprentice was a goodie-four-paws, and almost always in a good mood. So when Willowstar pranced over to him and told him to get his apprentice along with two other cats his plans were ruined. Not that he planned to do much, at most he'd thought about sneaking away to see his mate and ask about his precious kits. Though he could probably sneak away if he really wanted to. Shaking his head with a huff, the black-and-white tom stood and padded over to the scraggy, wolf-like tom and used a paw to prod him.
"Get up, Willowstar wants us on a hunting patrol. Get Flickerpaw, then meet us at the entrance." He snapped at the black tom, holding back a grimace. Being a moon younger than the other tom, the two had shared a den for most of their lives. While Starlingfrost was harsh with everyone he met - aside from a select few - he was a bit softer on Wolfclaw.

Emberhawk
18m - Female - Warrior of Spruceclan - Apprentice: none
Tags: Open - Mentions: Wildstorm

Copper-colored eyes stared into the morning rays as the sun began to rise, the young creature had been one of the felines put on guard to watch over the camp the night before. While the ginger and white cat wouldn't admit it to anyone, she had fallen into asleep a few times before being awoken by the snapping of a twig or rustling of a bush. Of course, she wouldn't admit to anyone that she was tired either, and would probably volunteer for at least one patrol before heading to bed. Getting up just to do that, the tabby got to her paws and turned before padding back into the clans camp. Her gaze flickered around as she searched for the red and white coat of Wildstorm, a tom she looked up to for more than one reason.
