PowerClans: The Rise of DarkClan

[.:Adelaide:.]

Lightningstep was shocked. All he had done was his warrior duty! He had only done it to protect his leader! His tail curled happily nonetheless and he nodded his head respectfully at his leader. "Thank you very much Pebblestar. But if you would be so kind as to join me in the medicine den, as we are both wounded." His lame paw was already all the way off of the ground and another one was hurting him badly. He didn't know how badly his leader was wounded and he wanted to make sure she was OK. And besides, maybe they could get some time alone. "So much for Lightingstep." He thought to himself as he limped clumsily to the medicine den with, hopefully, his leader behind him.

Ebonyclaw purred at Firekit. "Yes, sweetheart, I'm done!" She pushed the mouse lightheartedly towards her kit.

((I would love some possible action with Icestar! XD))

((Just saw Don't Be Afraid of the Dark. O.o That was some scary stuff! Good movie though))
LeafClan
Shiningmist let out a yawn as she woke up. Well rested the pretty she-cat exited the den before making her way to the fresh-kill pile. She hadn't been placed in any patrol so today would be a good day to hunt.

~FireClan~
Firekit didn't give herself time to answer, tearing into the remains of the prey until there were only some feathers and a few bones left. The flame-colored kit sighed in contentment and plopped down on the ground, burping on impact. Her paw flew to her mouth in embarassment. "Excuse me," she mewed, blushing lightly.

Foxflame tore through the jungle, sides heaving as he went. What demon had possessed him when he had made the choice to leave Nightfire alone? No one went too far from camp without a companion. He had learned this the hard way as a young apprentice.

Nightfire didn't like this cat one bit, but she sat down stiffly, not one to be outdone. They stared at each other for a few moments, the black she-cat's eyes igniting at the silence of the other cat. Just talk already, will you? her mind fumed. As if the thought had flown through the air and implanted itself into the white cat's brain, she tilted her head and spoke sweetly. "Is something bothering you?" She used the tone Nightfire's mother used to use when her kit was angry with the world. It had always sounded slightly amused, slightly condescending. You poor thing, it said, producing imaginary pouty lips to hide the very real smirk. Nightfire hated it. "I was perfectly fine, thank you very much, until you showed up and...and... Ugh!" The stranger seemed to revel in Nightfire's frustration and was very prepared to take advantage of it. "Yes, my dear," she sighed. "Unfortunately, we all have our bad days." Her white face was sympathetic as she spoke, bothering Nightfire even more. "Bad days?" the black cat practically screamed. "Who do you think you are, my mother?" The other she-cat clucked her tongue. "Of course not, my dear," she mewed. "I only wondered..." Her voice trailed off, as if distracted by some new thought. "Could it be a tom that's giving you such trouble?" This time, though, her voice wasn't motherly. It sounded more like the voice of a concerned friend or clanmate. Nightfire broke down.


~AirClan~
Stormcall looked up as whispers rippled through camp, curious as to the source of the gossip. Limping into camp, the tom spotted none other than his leader Pebblestar, followed by the lame-footed Tortoisestep. Both were bleeding from various cuts and scrapes. Stormcall nudged Ashfeather's shoulder gently, but the she-cat had fallen asleep. He smiled and turned his attention back to his leader, who had leaped up onto the Tall Rock. The stone-colored tom listened anxiously as Pebblestar described the fox attack, but a smile crept to his lips when the leader called Tortoisestep forward. Stormcall carefully detached himself from Ashfeather and joined his other clanmates to chant, "Lightningstep! Lightningstep!" As Pebblestar and the newly-named Lightningstep headed in the direction of Ashwhisker's den, he rushed to intercept them. "Pebblestar," he called, slowing to a walk alongside her. "Would you like me to lead a patrol to make sure the fox is gone?" It sounded like the pair had wounded the fox when the scared it off, but it might still be inside the borders.


~Warriors of the Dawn~
Heathersong nodded and took a step forward. She wasn't sure what Islandsong would have her do, but she hoped she could prove herself helpful. And she hoped Melodykit would be able to copy the moves.

Nightfall cleared his throat awkwardly as Jaypaw padded up. How was he supposed to teach this stranger? He took a deep breath, reminding himself that he had an apprentice back in IceClan that he had taught for moons. "So," he began. "How about we start by showing me your favorite move?"

Dirtpath nodded, confirming Whisperpaw's statement. "Yes, but we never want to use claws while training. Injuring clanmates is most definitely not the best battle strategy."

[willowsong12]

((Horrible week for me. My grandma is in the hospital and two family members died from their truck rolling over.))
Warriors of the Dawn
Islandsong dropped into a crouch and pretended to be ready to attack. "Its important to read a warriors body and position. From here you can tell I'm either ready to pounce or dodge. Sometimes you can even watch their eyes to see where they are aiming. Heathersong I want you to run at me, pretend to slash at my side and then leap back. It might be best for them to learn this first." Her dark blue eyes narrowed and she let out a fake hiss. "Its important to not be intimidated by your opponet but never underestimate them."

Whisperpaw nodded. "Yes. We will just have to be more careful in real battle." Her eyes darkened as a thought came to her mind,"Do you think we will have to fight the whole clan?" Her small dark brown body slightly quivered. She had always hated fighting.

[.:Adelaide:.]

((I'm NotBobrox by the way. I changed my name! ))

.:Fireclan:.
Ebonyclaw laughed at Firekit, "Very lady like!" She teased her kit. She poked her on the nose with her tail and then asked Firekit, with a gleam in her eye, "Would a certain kit possibly want to go outside the camp for a while? Or would she be to scared?"

.:Airclan:.
Lightningstep smiled at Stormcall and said, "That would be nice. I'll come with you in a moment if Airwhisker lets me." He seriously doubted that the medicine cat would let him go but he wanted to if she did.

((Are we going to do anything with Icestar and Mosstalon and the flirting? ))

[Arouria]

((I'm sorry to hear that Willow ;; ))

~Airclan~

Pebblestar stopped mid-tracks as Stormcall interseprted them with the idea of a patrol, Now where's my head today? She thought crossly at heself, I should have announced that at the meating.. She chased the thought away and looked up at Stormcall, "Yes, of corse, you can take.." The silver she-cat swirveled her head around camp, but the loss of blood had made her mind foggy, and she coulden't think of any cats to send on the patrol, "Um, take four to five cats of your choise," She shot a look at Lightningstep, "Your not going anywhere until your wounds are healed," She nudged his shoulder lightly, then continued towards the medican den, poking her her head in through the enterance, "Hello? Ashwhisker?"

((Does anyone remember the mentor Shinelight was to go to?))

[.:Adelaide:.]

.:Airclan:.
Lightningstep stumbled sideways a little at Pebblestar's nudge, but he quickly recovered himself. His two front paws were throbbing now. Great. That most likely meant no hunting for a moon. He padded up next to Pebblestar in the narrow opening of the medicine den, making their pelts brush together. He made no attempt to pull away. He liked it, he just hoped that Pebblestar would somehow tell him whether or not she like him back. Instead of the normal mixed feelings that he got.

[Tinkpetz]

(I'm so sorry Willow! That's so awful. v.v,)

~FireClan~
Firekit jumped back up, her ears pricked with excitement. "I would love to!" she chirped. "Could you really take me?"

Foxpaw kicked a stone as he walked, watching it roll into a bush. It made a satisfying rustling sound. He was tired of listening to everybody. It had never bothered him, being told what to do. At least, not until today. Today, it felt as if he had ants in his pelt and every time some cat said something, they bit his tender skin. He had no idea why. His mother would have told him he'd woken up on the wrong side of the bed. His father would have teased him about "growing up", whatever that meant. His sister would have shaken her head and tried carefully to lift his spirits, knowing he had done the same for her when crowded camp had become too much to handle. But Foxpaw didn't have his sister, and he didn't have his mother. He had his father, but he didn't dare approach the laid-back tom. Much too annoying.

The white cat put a paw on Nightfire's shoulder as she sobbed. The last comment had been too much for her frazzled nerves. Normally she would never let herself cry like this in front of a stranger, but thoughts of Foxflame filled her head. What haunted her most was the choked emotion in his voice as he'd told her to leave. She felt like she had lost her best friend. She doubted she could ever get him back. The white cat's paw was ever present.

A crash off to his left sent Foxpaw's heart into his throat. He backed slowly away, trying to avoid the thing he'd apparently disturbed. His foot snapped a twig, and the rustling stopped. The apprentice heard snuffling, and saw a large, black nose emerge from the bushes. Cat claws sliced open the nose, and a yowl erupted from beside Foxpaw. His startled green eyes widened as his mentor attacked the thing. Leaves crackling, Foxpaw stumbled backwards and landed on his rear end. When he was able to get up again, there was no sign of the creature except for a shallow scratch on his mentor's shoulder. Foxpaw looked at the ground in shame as the warrior smiled and licked his apprentice's ear. "Don't do that again," came the soft, chiding words. Foxpaw nodded his ginger head and stared at the blood-spattered leaves in shock.


~AirClan~
Stormcall nodded and backed away, allowing the pair to enter the medicine den to have their wounds tended to. As he padded over to Ashfeather's curled form, he planned the patrol quickly in his head. Pebblestar had said to take four or five cats. Himself and Ashfeather made two, and as for the others... Stormcall thought for a few moments and decided he would take Stripetail, Smoothstone, and Cloudmoth. But first he had to reckon with Ashfeather. A distraction would be good for her. Something to keep Nightfeather off of her mind. As long as he could get her to agree. "Ashfeather," he murmured into her ear. He shook her shoulder gently, hoping she would wake up without any further prodding. Thankfully, she did. The silvery she-cat lifted her head, blinked, and took a deep breath before responding. "Yeah?" she asked drowsily. " Pebblestar and Tortoisestep, who was just renamed Lightningstep by the way, were just attacked by a fox and I'm leading a patrol to make sure it's gone. And you're coming." Ashfeather got to her feet, stretched lazily, and looked at him. "How long was I asleep?" He laughed and walked with her into the center of camp, calling the names of the three others he had chosen for the patrol.

(To answer some questions, yes, I will have Icestar do something with Mosstalon and Ebonyclaw(?) but she's busy with a sub-plot that I'm trying to finish introducing. Those posts are too long! And Auroria, Shinelight is in Islandsong's group with Heathersong and Melodykit.
*Sigh* I really need to spend more time here.)

[Arouria]

(( Ah, thanks ^^ And Do you know if Fairy of the Flames plans to come back? i was in quite a few conversations with her cats.))
(( Also, is Nightfall still "open"? Because if I remember right, before the RP kind of drifted away, I think Shinelight sort of liked him >>))

Warriors of The Dawn

Shinelight pawed the ground impatiently, ready to get a move on with all of this training. Looking up at Islandsong, she meowed, "When do you suppose we should start training?" She asked curiously. Although this was not to be power-training, the pale she-cat could feel a burning sensation behind her shoulderblades, like something was just waiting to burst from within them. Something probably is. She told herself, remembering that the Leafclan Medican cat had said her power was to make wings of light. After all this time wondering what it would be like to soar with the birds, I'll finally know.

[willowsong12]

((I'm back. The funeral was ok and I am ready to put it behind me. Also it's Blackclaw who was involved with Mosstalon. Oh and Aurora, Islandsong is showing basic moves to the kit so you can add things or help demonstrate some moves.))
Warriors of the Dawn
Islandsong dropped into a crouch and pretended to be ready to attack. "Its important to read a warriors body and position. From here you can tell I'm either ready to pounce or dodge. Sometimes you can even watch their eyes to see where they are aiming. Heathersong I want you to run at me, pretend to slash at my side and then leap back.

Whisperpaw nodded. "Yes. We will just have to be more careful in real battle." Her eyes darkened as a thought came to her mind,"Do you think we will have to fight the whole clan?" Her small dark brown body slightly quivered. She had always hated fighting.

((Wow. Alot of people have gone missing. Well I think this rp has an amazing plot and potential. I'm not going to give up on it! What group was Mudpaw in? The other groups are inactive))
