✦ MIRECLAN !!

x⊰ riverotter ✦ archive ✦ last post ⊱

the dusk bore the remnants of a battleground. a bruised and beaten cloudscape still dripping scarlet from a war between sol and lune. a war raged from the beginning of time to the end, a cycle that repeated itself over and over and over. and at this hour, darkness seized the skies, the moon taking her crown, sceptor and throne. the sun wept rivers of scarlet tears as she sank into oblivion—a fallen god doomed to the underworld. at least for a time. for a cycle.

already, signs of the moon’s reign glimmered. in a kyanite stone that wasn’t quite blue, but a strange silvery hue. as she leaned in closer to brush her toes against it, she could sense it. the hum of a midnight melody lush with the notes of a nightingale, the rustling whisper of nighttime blossoms, and the coo of a sleepy dove. haunting, yet achingly lovely as all things sung under a new moon. (+1 star’s touch, +90 stardust)

to her side, hyacinthcall plodded along. a flush had crept onto his cheeks and its breaths were nothing more than a short puff of air. and yet, of course, he still insisted on carrying the whole bundle of the day’s gatherings. still had something to prove.

“hey hyacinthcall?” she tossed him a little wink as she presented a fan of leaves with a dramatic flourish. “still up for carrying everything back to camp? i found these and i’m so very tired. think you could manage a few more?” (+1 comfrey root, +1 tormentil, +1 lovage, +1 lovage)

and as laughter fizzed on her tongue, she almost forgot about her earlier grievances, the shard of ice in her heart and the slash to her pride as a certain soul undermined her. at least until she met their eyes once more. slatefur.

before she could turn aside, they blocked her path. their grasp was a vice on her shoulder and compelled her to face them.

their face no longer held the bright tangerines and apricots of a summer sun, but instead they were as dim as a winter moon—a pallid, ghostly white. their stance was rigid, locked in a standstill. and she was, too, frozen. for she saw it, then, the beast lurking above them, at the ledge they all had just cleared, just descended from. (predator sighted!)

[2,536 words]
The forest was oddly quiet - even the birds activity seemed to cease. No chirping, no rustling of the branches - even the smallest twigs breaking would be noticeable throughout the entire forest. It had been a couple of days since Nona's sacrifice. She was finally regaining consciousness, and while she was making a swift recovery in the Medic's den, she had come to the realization of what she had done. She had no regrets though.

Cora, not wanting to bother Nona in her condition, opted to speak with Gala instead. However, Cora had yet to return from her journey. And as more time passed, the clan only grew more uneasy. And so, Swan had to do something - be transparent with the clan. Let them know the danger they were truly in; let them know what had really happened to Nona. But damn, if it wasn't difficult...

Swan found herself sitting atop the cliff as the sun rose, muttering to herself. "Stars, what am I going to do?" These voices of doubt clouded her mind heavily, but as her blue eyes stared forward, her resolve showed - she had no choice. She had to hold it together. For her clan, for her family, for Hope. She was the only one who could explain the situation to her clan. Sure, Bear and Baby had more direct experience with it, but she wouldn't dare ask those two to relive the moment. And so, Swan rose to her paws, making her way towards the edge of the cliff.

She looked down into her clan's camp, her tail flicking slightly. The cats below gazed up at her, with some being curious, and others knowing what was coming. With a breath and a shout, she cried.

"We need to have a meeting! Everyone, out of your dens - regular morning stuff can wait!"

The moment the entire clan had been waiting for. Dozens of cats scurried out of each den, taking their seats. Swan descended from the cliffside slowly, looking at each of the cats. She saw a variety of things in them - anticipation, fear, anxiousness... any emotion that could hurt her was showing.

The expressions of Nona and Gala's children were the most hurtful to gaze upon, though; at least those who knew they were their children. Lyra's brows were furrowed and her teeth bared slightly; Oak's deep green eyes were devoid of the normal eager glimmer within. Iris, while normally stoic, faltered - her claw anxiously drew against the dirt beneath it, repeatedly drawing over a broken heart she had etched into it. However, Swan knew that not just their children, but the entire clan needed closure. After the clan was settled, Swan began to speak.

"A couple days ago, Gala was killed. Baby and Bear witnessed this with their own eyes, and I can assure you, this is not a dream."

A few gasps emerged from the crowd, the cats looking at each other in worry. Most of the cats hadn't noticed Gala had wandered into their very camp; they were all too focused on the injured Nona that day.

"However, Gala lives. Nona sacrificed her own Goddess powers to revive her. Whether it was intentional or not, I don't know." Swan continued, her ears pinning back as the words left her mouth.

Baby and Bear, sitting at the back of the crowd, looked at each other in silence. They knew this meeting was coming - they didn't want to put fear into the clan themselves, and hadn't told anyone of what had transpired. Bane, who was sitting on the other side of Bear, quivered.

"Bear, you witnessed it?" Bane asked, her orange orbs wide.

"You don't have to worry about that." Bear replied. "We're all okay. Just listen to Swan."

Swan pressed on, the words coming to her easier as time went on. "Nona is expected to make a full recovery. She will live within our camp, and we will see if her Goddess powers can come back in time. However, we should expect the worst. There is... also another problem."

"Where's Hope?" Lyra suddenly asked from the crowd, her ears pinned back. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were squinted to cage the tears trying to break out. Hearing how her mothers had been so easily defeated had her blood boiling, her claws unsheathed and dug into the ground beneath her, tearing the grass from its roots.

"That is the next point." Swan replied. "Hope is currently under attack by, what Cora and I believe, to be the same cat."

"Cat? ANOTHER CAT IS DOING ALL OF THIS?!" Lyra hissed, raising to her paws with a lash of her tail. "NO. No way. I don't believe it."

"She's not lying..." A voice echoed from the Medic's den. Outside the den stood a bandaged and meek looking Nona. "Please... please listen to Swan, my daughter." She begged with her weak tongue - something Lyra never expected from her mother. Though Lyra was sass itself, even she wouldn't dare challenge her mother, and she quickly sat. Nona bowed her head to Swan, urging her to continue. However, until this moment, she hadn't been informed Hope was under attack too - this was a saddening revelation to her.

"I'm sorry you had to find out this way, Nona." Swan said softly before turning back to the clan. "Because of this, we have frozen Hope in a pool of water for the time being. We're hoping this can slow down the poison attacking her. In the mean time, we must find a way to defeat or at least subdue the cat doing this. Cora and I believe this isn't something that can be treated with herbs - we think it is something beyond our understanding. Perhaps magic, like the powers Rain and Lily possess." Swan gestured to the two mollies. "But... far stronger."

"Well, what can we do?" Another voice asked, that being of Nyra. Her yellow and black gaze lingered on Swan. "Is the cat doing this another Goddess?"

How did she figure it out that quickly? Swan thought to herself, looking over to Nona for guidance. Nona slowly nodded - it was time for this threat to be out in the open.

"Yes, it is. Her name is Vira. She used to be the Goddess of Balance, but after some... unfortunate things, became the Goddess of Corruption. Any thought you have had regarding harming another cat or the Heart itself has likely come from her poison." Swan explained, which drew the attention of Pop.

"Is there anyway to protect ourselves against it?" She asked quietly. "I think Lily mentioned something about a... wad?"

"Wards." Lily corrected. "But that's a great question..." Lily thought for a moment, her mind racing through a variety of spells and potions. "I would have to know more about Vira to even think about that."

"Cora is currently on the way to the moonpool to speak with Gala directly. She should have far more information soon." Swan explained, and Nona went to speak, but Swan shook her head. "Get back in the den and rest, Nona. We will ask for more information if what Gala provides isn't enough. We don't want to drain you anymore." Nona, respecting the molly's resolve and respect, nodded and retreated into the Medic's den. It didn't feel odd at all for Nona to be living amongst her clan - what felt odd was that Gala wasn't there with her - the two hadn't been apart this long ever...

"Is there anything for us to do until Cora returns?" Lyra inquired with a squint of her eyes. Though her mother had told her to stay calm during the meeting, she hadn't said anything about once the meeting concluded.

"Yes. Well, not anything specific. Our duties will resume as normal, but no one is to leave the camp alone. You must have one cat with you at all times, even if you are just going outside the camp briefly. The only reason Hope is alive right now is because we were together when the poison took effect." Swan emphasized, and the clan nodded. "Beyond that, I want the Scavengers to be on the lookout for anything that could be useful. There is a good chance we will have to fight Vira directly, and our normal means of claws and teeth likely won't work."

Lily's ears perked up, and she slowly rose her paw, silently asking to talk. "Yes, Lily?"

"If you all could be on the lookout for chains or other things that we can make into temporary accessories, that would be helpful. If I can make a ward to protect us against Vira, I'll need something to bind it to on each of you." Lily said, and she immediately watched as Pop's eyes widened, her pupils enlarging. Despite the clearly serious scenario these cats were in, the idea of crafting immediately got Pop's attention.

"In that case..." Swan began, her eyes narrowing as she thought for a moment before continuing her thought. "I want you guys to travel in pairs or groups, with at least one rogue. If you all are going to be hauling back stuff for Pop and Mink to make trinkets out of, you're going to need protection from greed. Lyra, if you want something to do, you'll accompany Pop on her searches."

Pop looked at Lyra with a big grin - though Pop was normally the quiet type, the idea of making so much stuff for the clan for such an important event was exciting in of itself. Lyra, both demoralized and frustrated by the situation with her mothers, rolled her eyes and nodded. "Sure, because jewelry crafting is going to be so important. If it is a Goddess, there's no way a chain with a wArD or whatever is gonna stop it."

"Let's not be so negative, Lyra." Oak perked up, but Lyra turned to him with a glare as sharp as a thousand daggers. He audibly yelped, and quickly stepped back. "S-sorry."

"Quit being so happy-go-lucky. There's no other way to describe the situation we're in than rough. And no other way to describe the position we're in, other than that we're completely screwed and out of our league." Lyra growled. "If a scavenger hunt guard is all I can be for now, so be it. If Vira lays another claw on one of my mothers though, I'll rip her to shreds my damn self. Come on, Pop."

Lyra stormed out of the camp, her tail lashing wildly. Pop, too excited to care that Lyra was obviously upset, pranced out of the camp after her. Swan watched as the two wandered off before turning her attention to the rest of the clan.

"We have a theory that Vira can't attack anyone else while already attacking someone else. So don't be too anxious - that being said, it IS just a theory. We'll know more whenever Cora returns. That's all I have for you guys, I wish I could say more or have more reassuring words, but this is a tough situation. I trust that we will pull through though." Swan said with a forced smile.

"Meeting adjourned."

-----

Pop had bounded ahead of Lyra, humming to herself as she pawed at the bases of trees. Loners that wandered through the forest often liked to stash goodies at the base of trees, only buried a couple inches in the dirt - that's precisely what she was checking for. Lyra, trailing behind her, huffed quietly.

"Are you always this excited over dorky stuff?" Lyra inquired, and Pop peered over her shoulder with a big grin across her maw.

"Crafting is about the only thing I'm good at! And normally, it's not all that useful. You've got your amazing skills at fighting, I've got mine at creation. Don't you take pride in being a good fighter?" Pop inquired as she turned back to her objective, continuing to dig in the soil.

"Of course I am. But fighting is a lot more useful than crafting."

"Mm.. Not in the context of the Heart of Decay." Pop retorted, drawing the attention of Lyra, who bared her teeth.

"What does that mean, Oh Wise One?" Lyra asked, her paw tapping against the ground in both impatience and frustration.

"Well, the Heart of Decay is about helping other clans, right? Not hurting them or fighting to gain territory. I mean, the Rogues are really only hired by other clans to fight, or they're used to fight off predators that chase us scavengers around. Like badgers." Pop quivered at the thought of a badger. "Ugly critters."

"Are you saying my role is useless?" Lyra asked with a squint of her eyes, drawing a long dramatic sigh from Pop - which was rather out of character.

"How are you Nona and Gala's daughter?!" Pop groaned. "You are so darn sassy and overthink things cats say too much. They're so level headed and elegant, you're just... arrogant." Pop's quiet nature allowed her to observe cats far better than most would anticipate. Though she didn't talk, her ears were always perked up; and Lyra's sassy quips to all her other clanmates were hard to ignore.

"Excuse me?" Lyra scoffed, but it sounded more like disappointment rather than anger.

Pop sighed. "Sorry. That was too personal. I just mean that some positivity could do you some good. Think about it, you're guarding me while I find something to protect our clanmates. Your family. If we get rid of this Vira cat, maybe Nona can heal. This is very important work. You might just see it as pointless crafting, but I see it as my life energy. This is why I live. Your role isn't pointless - I was just pointing that detail out." Pop's paw struck something that caught her attention, and after she flung some more dirt aside, she found what appeared to be a rusted amulet, with a soft blue gem at its core.

"OO! Pretty." Pop dragged the amulet out of the dirt, looking back at Lyra. Lyra had taken a seat, her eyes locked on the ground. "Do you need to talk?" Pop inquired, lowering the amulet back to the ground.

"If Vira killed Gala - one of my mothers, even temporarily... we don't stand a chance. Not you, not me, not all forty of us." Lyra grimaced. "This is the first fight in my life time where I... don't think we stand a chance. And I'm afraid."

This was a side of Lyra that Pop had never anticipated seeing. Perhaps she had been way too harsh. She stared at Lyra for a moment, trying to decide if Lyra would do better with comfort or silence. Pop opted to stay quiet, allowing Lyra to lose herself in her emotions.

"I don't want to die, and I don't want Hope to die either. But if that poison killed Gala that fast, a little ice isn't going to protect my sister for long." Lyra rose a paw to her face, wiping her eyes with a quiet sniffle. "This is scary."

"Yes, it is. But if you help me, your sister will stand a lot better of a chance." Pop reassured, and Lyra nodded slowly.

"Okay. Lead the way... I got your back."

"So the kittypet got sick."

"It would appear so." Flamesight sighed at the use of the derogatory term, which rolled off her clanmate's tongue as easily as any other insult. Locustthorn was not known for his tact, even at the best of times, but today he was extra prickly - likely because this was their first patrol together, and neither had a particularly good reputation within Summerclan.

"Can't say I blame her; most kittypets have never endured the full brunt of Leaf-bare," Locustthorn remarked. "No surprise that she'd get sick, especially without her Twolegs to take care of her."

Flamesight could feel her ears flattening in annoyance, but decided not to press the issue too much. "The medicine cat will take care of it. We caught it early; I'm sure Goosie will pull through."

Locustthorn snorted. "Goosie? What is she, your apprentice or something?"

"Of course not," Flamesight scoffed. "They're a whole year older than I am. Just because she's not fully acclimated to the clan lifestyle yet doesn't mean they're that unskilled. Besides, she already has a good nose for finding herbs - our last patrol together can attest to that."

The duo walked in silence for a moment, the crunch of autumn leaves beneath their paws punctuating their steps, before Locustthorn spoke again.

"I keep forgetting just how young you are, Flamesight. How in Starclan's name have you already gotten so jaded?"

Now it was Flamesight's turn to snort. "Look, when you lose an eye this early in life, you start to realize just how little other cats care about their crippled clanmates."

"HA! Yeah, you've got a point," Locustthorn conceded, giving the orange tabby a friendly nudge with his shoulder. "Let's put that one good eye to use in catching that hawk, huh? See if you can't keep up with an old-timer."

Flamesight grinned. "Bring it on."

(The patrol decides to pursue the hawk!)

The wait seemed endless to Magec; the poor one was terrified. They heard footsteps approaching, but luckily it was only Tanausú and Benchara.

“The intruder has left,” the guañoth announced. “We'll patrol the borders just in case, but everything seems calm.”
The mencey took a step forward. “I'll go along to help mark the territory. If you have the herbs Airám and the others need, I recommend you take them now that everything seems calm.”

Magec looked at their mencey and then at the herbs. “Ada said…”

“I know, the twolegs will heal them, I know, but I don't trust them completely, and I want my guañoth back safe and sound, not turned into a kittypet.”

Magec nodded. “Okay, I'll go deliver the herbs and keep an eye on Airám.”

With that, Magec ran to grab the necessary herbs and ran toward the village. They wandered through the streets, not quite remembering where Ada's twolegs had gone, and the place was huge. Luckily, some loners lounging on the sand pointed them in the right direction.

They ran through the streets and climbed up to an open window to try to find their friends.

They soon saw the girls in cages and panicked, but Ada looked so comfortable inside. Sibisse escaped from the cage, somehow, and approached them to inform them that they would recover soon; that Ada's human would take them today, and in a few days they would be as good as new.

"And Airám?"

"He's behind that door. They're still cleaning his wound, but he'll be fine, or so they said."

Magec nodded and ran to the indicated place. After carefully slipping through the half-open door, they saw Airám in the arms of a twoleg who was gently cleaning his wound.

Magec didn't want to be discovered where they shouldn't be, they didn't want to get into trouble, but they needed Airám, they needed to talk to him, and they meowed Airám's name loudly.

The twoleg saw them, placed Airám on a table, and when Magec wanted to get up, he picked them up too and placed them beside him.

The twoleg kittens cuddled.

That same afternoon, when they finished treating Airám's wounds, they escaped through a window. Airám felt better, and they both ran back to the Clan, but not before saying goodbye to Ada and Sibisse and leaving the herbs for the supposed twoleg faycanes in case they needed them.

They ran through the streets and along the stone path of the badlands. They came across some twolegs, and a twoleg kitten seemed to feel sorry for Airám's wounds and gave them some food.

With the prize in their jaws and guañoth ready to charge again, they reached the entrance to the tunnels and finally met up with Tanausú.

Opted in for death?: No

-Snap!- A twig gives away the location of Sandytear’s and Oy. The pair stood again, the larger feline’s tail lashing with frustration as the rabbit scurried off. Its thumping paws faded slowly in his ears, it would have been a delightful meal. The rabbit's brown pelt disappeared amongst the bushes as he sighed. Shrubs of all kinds had been sprouting up recently, they always seemed to catch his eyes. Those bright soft blue eyes, always seemed to be getting caught on one thing or another. For example: Darkthunder, right now.

Darkthunder flinched at first, seeing the bright silent blue eyes staring her down. “Uhh…” She pinned her ears back for a moment. Her large piercings shined in the sun, almost to a blinding degree and yet Sandy stared on. Her dark black pelt shifted as she looked towards the ticked tabby before her. With her head held high she asked “Are you alright Sandytears?” She asked, her eyes darting towards a nearby tree and then back to him. The cream colored tom hadn’t taken the time to really address his own wounds. Dried oak leaves would have to do the trick for Darkthunder’s wounds, they were the only thing Sandytears knew how to use. He was still learning how herbs worked. With a sloppy lick of saliva he started to layer the dried leaves down on her back. The two sat silently for a while before Darkthunder thanked him.

Suddenly a rustling startled them both as Fallfoilage and her small companion Cinnamon came running out. Their steps were full of energy and readiness for the patrol. Her orange pelt shines in the sun yet her spots helped her blind in. Squeaks erupted like boiling water from the two small rodents greeting one and another. “Are you alright Darkthunder?” Fallfoilage asked, tilting her head to the left. The molly responded swiftly, trying to put her worries to rest. “A little tumble, it's really no biggie..” Bashful wasn’t a fitting look for Darkthunder, but Fallfoilage loved to see it on her!

the city was glowing, but something else shined brighter. A touch of color amidst the rest, something useful for the patrol to bring back home. (+3FP gold)

Yet, something else in the distance... the flutter of something that could mean danger. (The patrol has picked up the scent of a predator (vampyre moth)! Does the patrol ignore it, or pursue the threat?)

Even in times of peril, prey seems to want to be caught. If it didn't float right in front of her face, Dew might've normally ignored it, but some instinct in the back of her head caught the pixie before she had even processed what had happened. (+1FP pixie)

Somewhere, someone decided to take advantage of the moment of weakness. Despite the minor pain after the rogue rain away, not wanting to stick around, Dew barely noticed. (DewHop is minorly hurt by the rogues! -15% HP)

To add on further to the pain, another problem arose - feathers everywhere, the flash of a wing. (The patrol sees a glimpse of a predator (phoenix falcon)! Does the patrol ignore it, or pursue it?)

What do you do when your whole world was shattered? Ignore everything, become numb? Perhaps that was why the pain still didn't register, even as she tripped over a gnarled tree root, her paw twisting in a brief flash. But nothing could compare to the pain of losing Squirrel... absolutely nothing. (DewHop sprained a paw and lost -25% HP. No posts of rest needed.)

Something left behind by someone else, it seems. Temptation is quick to gather the stuff, welcoming the bounty. (+10 stardust, +2FP frog, +1 dandelion, +1 fennel, +1 hawkweed, +1 willow bark)

Stalking a creature that big was an easy feat, and Temptation stayed well out of sight. The crocodile didn't seem interested in sticking around, much to his relief. (The crocodile has left the territory!)

Yet, something else... almost like wet dog, perhaps a little different, in the air. The scent was hair-raising, and Temptation whirled around, trying to find the location, but unable to see it. But it was there, he knew it was. (A new predator has been scented (coyote)! Does the patrol ignore it, or pursue it?)

As he tried his best to find the source of the coyote, Temptation wasn't looking where he was swinging, and got his tail stuck between a couple of rocks. He wrenched it free, but winced in pain. Ouch! (Temptation received a tail sprain! -25% health; no posts of rest needed.)

ollie is absolutely delighted that he found gold! how wonderful, how lovely, how marvelous c: he can now buy cathan that dessert to win the grumpy goose over. absolutely splendid.

and even better, shiny things scare vampyre moths away! (or so he remembers) (he may have gotten mixed up with the variants but he’s pretty sure) he dashes off to face the vampyre moth armed with his shiny catch.

he doesn’t hear cathan’s warning. what could a grumpy goose be warning him about anyways?

✦ notes: n/a, but thank you sm, kazin!! 🥺🩷 i had a lot of fun exploring the world in that post && i'm glad to hear you enjoyed it !!
