IceClan
The wind howls in your ears and buffets your body as you push through the blizzard. Numbness has begun to settle into your bones and you’re almost certain that your paws have frozen solid. Your ears are next up on that list with how cold it is but still you press on, seeking a place to rest. Finally, through squinted eyes, you spot a dark crevice in the side of the mountain. A cave! Filled with new energy, you bound onward, trudging through snow up to your chest before finally pushing out of the wind and into an open space. Darkness settles over you as you collapse, sleep taking you almost instantly.
When you awaken, the wind has stopped. You’re suddenly aware of being watched. A quickly as you can, still numb from the cold, you scramble up and look around. As your eyes adjust to the darkness, you can make out pale bodies in the moonlight. You’re surrounded by other cats! One steps forward, a massive white and grey tom, his clear blue eyes shining in the moonlight that peeks into the cavern.
“You, stranger, have entered Iceclan’s territory. You are lucky that we are not hostile and are in need of more cats who can brave a blizzard as you did.” He flicks his long, bushy tail, glancing around at his comrades. “You are more than welcome to join us. But if you do not, you must leave our territory forever. If you do choose to join our ranks, look for a rock that resembles a crouching cat. A warrior will be waiting to take you to our camp.” With that, he and his cats disappear noiselessly into the whiteness of the outside world. Will you join them? Or leave? Welcome to Iceclan! This clan acts as one amongst four total fan clans that myself and a friend created many years ago. We were once active on the old forums, but time and other things led to our decline. Now, I plan to start again and see these clans become active once more!
History
Long ago, long before any living cat within these territories was born, four great groups came together within the same land. Each group had never met each other, nor did they wish to mingle and become one. They were each their own separate entity and if they mixed, they would lose what made them who they were.
The cats that followed mighty Ice were made for the mountains. Their large bodies, thick pelts, and large paws were perfect for the cold and the brutal mountain ranges, though their home was made half in a valley that was protected on one side by mountains, and on the others by a pine forest, geyer field mix and a high plainsland. Still, his chosen territory was at the highest altitude and it was theirs.
Those who followed sly Fire were suited for the land beside Ice’s, for the pine forest and the geyser field. They were lean, but not small and lithe, made for climbing trees and darting through sparse undergrowth. They were a shadowed lot, in pelt color and in heart.
The cats who kept to the ever aloof Dusk favored the lowest of the territories, a marshy land where the trees blocked out almost all the sunlight. They grew to have webbed paws and larger eyes, perfect for seeing in low light. Their hearts were mysterious and guarded, as were their minds. They did not often welcome in outsiders.
Lastly, though who followed the proud Dawn took up residence in the plainsland. They were lithe and agile, darting through the tall grass and running down any prey they could. They stayed lean and wild looking because of this, though the were just a proud and honorable lot. Words were favored amongst them over claws and brute strength. It’s no wonder they were so respected.
And thus, each leader was visited by a starry cat, who guided them one by one to a polished crystal nestled within a glade, surrounded by water that caught the starlight. Each one was granted nine lives, -star added to their names, and instructions on how to organize their groups into what would be known as clans. They returned to their friends and loved ones as Icestar, Firestar, Duskstar, and Dawnstar, leaders of Iceclan, Fireclan, Duskclan, and Dawnclan, respectively.
Though time and trials have beaten against each clan, they have weathered each and every one, remaining strong and alive. They are here today, in this land created by Starclan for them, perfect for every group and yet just muddled at the borders to give rise to some problems...
Territory
Iceclan makes its home in a high valley at the edge of a mountain range. Only during the height of greenleaf is the valley around the camp free of all snow. During the other seasons, varying amounts of snow falls upon the territory, ranging from lighter snows and frosts in early leaf-fall and late green-leaf, to heavy snows and blizzards in leaf-bare.
A river marks one border of the Iceclan territory, this one being with Fireclan, often frozen but also sometimes not. The river is only half the border and goes on the make part of the border between Dawnclan and Duskclan. The hind border that is not shared with any other clan is just the peaks of the rising mountain range. The border with Lightclan is only marked by scent and is somewhere between the highlands and the plainlands.
Surrounding the river and spreading through part of the territory is a forest of pines and low bushes. Only a small portion of the territory contains this forest.
There is a rock close to the camp that looks like a crouching cat. It marks the direction of the camp entrance.
Apprentices are trained in a small cave that is protected from the wind and snow.
The camp is a large hollow that is protected on one side by a large, thick, sweeping overhang and on the other sides by the walls of the hollow, as well as thick, thorny bushes. The entrance is a crack in the overhang that turns into a tunnel.
The leader’s den is a small cave, with a jutting rock above it used for calling clan meetings. The elder’s den is dug into the side of the hollow opposite to the overhang, hidden slightly by clumps of tall grass. The nursery is another dugout like the elder’s den, but much larger and protected by more of the thorn bushes. The apprentices’ den and the warriors’ den are near each other, sharing a jutting rock that protects their tops, with the former being a more shallow dip in the ground protected by its sides and the latter being protected by bushes. The medicine cat’s den is a cave that is inside the overhang at its thickest part, receiving water from a small underground stream.
Prey that can be caught are arctic hares, mice, lemmings, snow buntings (arctic bird), and arctic warblers.
Predators include wolves, snowy owls, arctic foxes, golden eagles, lynxes, and ermine.

Allegiances
Leader
| Icestar | 66 Moons | Large and powerful, the big tom is a rather magnificent sight to behold. His muscular body is covered in thick dark grey fur with with a few white markings: notably a blaze up from his nose that fades out above his eyes, a slash across his chest, a sock on his right front foot, and the tip of his tail. He is very fluffy, with his tail being quite bushy and the fur across his shoulders being thicker than the rest. His eyes are round and like clear water in winter, bright blue and piercing. His nose is pink, with his paw pads matching in color. His cheek fluff is rather long and the tips of his ears end in little tufts. | Icestorm is a good natured and good humored cat with a slightly playful streak and a love of puns related to snow and storms. Not often is he very serious but he’s loyal and friendly, with a deep affection for all his clanmates in a way that shows he considers them his family. When confronted in a fight, he can turn fierce and isn’t one to shy away from conflict when needed to step up and defend those he cares for. Beyond battle with outside forces, he wouldn’t hurt any cat and prefers to talk things out. He’s a better fighter than a hunter due to his large size but he’s still decent enough. | Gingerspots (Uncle), Moonsong (Mate), Stonekit & Silverkit (Sons), Ravenkit (Daughter) | lupusalbum99 |
Deputy
TBD
Med. Cat
| Frostfeather | 37 Moons | Frostfeather is a snow white Turkish Angora with icy blue almond-shaped eyes clouded with blindness. Her tail gives off a “feathery” appearance, hence her name. Her build is rather lean, and her fur is surprisingly well kept. Not a single scar nor stain marks her body. | Frostfeather is a very gentle she-cat who tends to keep to herself. She is very shy and tends to be wary of others simply due to her blindness. For obvious reasons, she dislikes strangers. She has very few close friends. | Moonsong
Med. Cat Apprentice
Alderpaw | 10 moons | short and stocky tom with long gray and brown mottled fur and large, round pale green eyes. His kitten fluff has hardly disappeared despite being four moons into his apprenticeship and is constantly being babied by his father. His long and feathery tail sweeps the ground with his movements and stirs the pine needle covered forest floor. | Alderpaw is easily embarrassed but often cheery and playful. His biggest pet peeve is being called a kit or being treated like one. He has a rather weak stomach and is still growing used to helping even with small cuts without gagging. However, he prefers the purposeful and caring position of a medicine cat compared to the rough and tumble warrior duties any day. | Father is Brokensnow | peachy keen
Senior Warriors
Brokensnow | 54 moons | Brokensnow is a tall, long haired white and gray mottled tom with slanted pale green eyes and a pink nose. He has multiple distinctive eagle claw scars on his chest and walks with a slight limp when his leg is “acting up”. His right ear is almost completely gone but it’s hard to notice at first due to the kitten-like puffs behind his ears. | Brokensnow is a playful and fun loving tom who solemnly becomes serious. He’s very protective over his son Alderpaw and spends whatever time he has not doing his warrior duties, looking after him. He loves to participate in hunting patrols and has grown fond of bird hunting - of any size. | Son is Alderpaw | Lost his mate Aldermeadow to an eagle after his son was born and became physically scarred after attempting to fight it off but only to be carried away too. | peachy keen
Warriors
| Nightshadow | 37 moons | Nightshadow is a pure black she-cat with white paws that seem like she had dipped them into white paint. She has bright blue eyes that pop out on her face. | Nightshadow is very outgoing and very nice to others. But she can tear other cats to shreds if they talk bad about someone she knows and loves. She can be very jittery and all over the place. She is very active and loves to train with any and everyone.| lemonpepper |
| Eaglestripe | 30 moons | Eaglestripe is a long-haired golden-brown tabby tom with a white underside and golden-yellow eyes. He has a bulky build and unusually long whiskers. | Eaglestripe is best described as an extrovert. He's extremely talkative and sociable, even with those not in Iceclan. He loves nothing more than learning about others and making friends. His nature can be off-putting to the less socially inclined. | smokey |
| Brightbird | 15 moons | Brightbird is a white she-cat with with an orange tabby patch on her head and an orange tabby tail. She has dark amber eyes. She's tall and slim, almost lanky. Her slender build makes her particularly quick on her paws. | Brightbird is a calm and friendly cat. She's not particularly excitable, always keeping a level head. The one thing that gets to her is talking to toms. Regardless of who it is, Brightbird always finds herself flustered when trying to talk to the opposite gender. | smokey |
| Tigerstream | 25 Moons | Lean under his fluffy fur, Tigerstream is a long haired, creamy brown tabby tom with ice blue eyes. His toe tips, ear tips, muzzle, and tail tip are snow white. His tail is extra long and he’s rather long legged as well. His jaw seems to be a little crooked from an accident.| Well mannered and polite, Tigerstream is a dutiful warrior and attempts to be helpful to the cats in his clan. He’s a little insecure and shy, to the point where he sometimes seems more like a loner than a clan cat. However, he still strives to be as good as he can, even if he pushes himself a little sometimes. | When he was an apprentice, Tigerstream managed to slip off of a ledge and twist his jaw. While he was confined to the medicine den and his apprenticeship extended a little, he healed and learned to live with it. | lupusalbum99 |
Apprentices
Queens
| Ravenear | 26 moons | A pretty white she-cat with one black ear. She is slender and rather graceful, with sleek fur and a long tail. Her eyes are a soft blue, like the morning sky. | While motherly and sweet most of the time, Ravenear also holds a very no nonsense type of attitude when it comes to those she believes are behaving ridiculously. She is very fond of young cats and has always been very close to kits in the clan. | Lynxkit (Daughter) | lupusalbum99
| Moonsong | 54 moons old | Moonsong is a sleek and slender cat with a short, raven black coat. This pelt of hers does little to nothing to help her during the leaf-bares of IceClan. Her eyes are rather large and could possibly be described as "sparkly" with the way that light glimmers off of them. Their colour is a pale and silvery grey, almost like the full moon itself. No scars mark her body yet, but she'll surely gain some battlescars over time. Her speed has allowed her to avoid many blows that could have possibly ruined her perfect and markless figure. | Moonsong is an extraordinarily sarcastic and snarky cat who seems to have issues getting along with others. She's always snappy and almost mean towards other members of the clan, the leader included. This is due to her short-temperedness. However, she tries her best to be much nicer towards kits, apprentices, and the elders. Despite her behaviour, she is a loyal warrior who would do anything to protect her clan and those within it, no matter how much she may say she cares little to none for any cat. | Ravenkit, Stonekit, Silverkit | moonsong | Kits | Lynxkit | 3 moons | Small, dark brown tabby she-kit with unusually large paws. The tips of her ears end in little tufts and she is very, very fluffy. Her markings are black and she looks just like a lynx, save for having a longer tail. Her eyes are deep amber. | The kitten is quite playful and robust, always getting under foot and bouncing around. She has an energy that makes her a darling to be around, though she can be quite tiring. | Ravenear (Mother)/Father unknown | lupusalbum99 | Ravenkit | 5 moons | A fluffy, long haired black she-cat with pale green eyes. She has a slender build under her fluff but a wide head. | Generally the most playful and excitable out of all her siblings. She likes to get into trouble and have a good time. | Stonekit, Silverkit (Brothers), Icestar (Father), Moonsong (Mother) | Moonsong | | Stonekit | 5 moons | A stocky, broad headed grey tom with a white mask and blue eyes. He’s already quite huge and seems to be on his way to being the same size as his father. | Stonekit is a big goofball and likes cheering his siblings and parents up. He seems to be very optimistic and always has a joke in store. | Ravenkit (Sister), Silverkit (Brother), Icestar (Father), Moonsong (Mother) | lupusalbum99 | | Silverkit | 5 moons | A lean, handsome silver tabby tom with sharp golden eyes. His stripes are jet black and lean towards a mackerel pattern. | Silverkit promises to be a lady’s man when he grows up. He’s already a smart kit, but too full of himself and convinced that he’s always right. He’s also very bossy. | Ravenkit (Sister), Stonekit (Brother), Icestar (Father), Moonsong (Mother) | Moonsong | Elders
Cats Outside the Clan
Starclan Cats | Icestar | Unknown | Large dark grey tom with deep golden eyes. | Loyal to the end and fiercely protective of his clan, he died defending them from foxes. | lupusalbum99 |

Extra Information
The Warrior Code
-Defend your Clan, even with your life. You may have friendships with cats from other Clans, but your loyalty must remain to your Clan, as one day you may meet them in battle. -Do not hunt or trespass on another Clan's territory. -Elders, queens, and kits must be fed before apprentices and warriors. Unless they have permission, apprentices may not eat until they have hunted to feed the elders. If any warrior or apprentice is sick or injured, they may eat while the elders, queens, and kits are eating. -Prey is killed only to be eaten. Give thanks to StarClan for its life. -A kit must be at least six moons old to become an apprentice. -Newly appointed warriors will keep a silent vigil for one night after receiving their warrior name. -A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. -The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled. -After the death, retirement, promotion (to a leader status), or exile of the deputy, the new deputy must be chosen before moonhigh of the following day. -A Gathering of all four Clans is held at the full moon during a truce that lasts for the night. There shall be no fighting among Clans at this time. -Boundaries must be checked and marked daily. Challenge all trespassing cats. -No warrior can neglect a kit in pain or danger, even if the kit is from a different Clan. -The word of the Clan leader is the warrior code. -An honorable warrior does not need to kill other cats to win their battles, unless they are outside the warrior code or if it is necessary for self-defense. -A warrior rejects the soft life of a kittypet. -Medicine cats may take a mate only if they have an apprentice and their apprentice is fully trained. If the apprentice or the medicine cat has kits in the nursery, they are not allowed to have kits of their own until the kits are apprenticed.
Ancient Rites
Ancient Rites are ancestral rights that are gifted to each clan. Not many cats invoke them often but when they do, they cannot be contested. Apprentices are trained to understand these very early.
-Should a cat from another clan kill another cat without reason, the clan of the murdered cat may demand a cat of equal age and skill be handed over from the offending clan. -Should a clan steal prey from another clan, the victim shall be allowed to demand the food returned or they will be allowed to hunt that amount of clan from the offending clan.

(This clan is open for joining!)
Icestar lounged around just outside of his den, grooming his thick fur slowly and kind of idly. He was lost in thought and contemplating going out to hunt or just to walk. A low rumble began in his chest, sounding thoughtful as he continued to lap at his fur.
Stonekit crouched down outside of the nursery, waiting for his siblings to come out. He had just had a great idea to scare one of them by pouncing on them as soon as they left the nursery, his thick tail flicking slightly no matter how hard he tried to calm it.

From within the nursery den, Moonsong could be seen grooming the fur of one of her three kits as she tried to calm them down. "Cut that out!" she hissed as she pawed at Ravenkit, who was getting a little too rough with her play. "You'll hurt your brother if you keep up like that. He isn't a piece of prey." She proceeded to gently lick Silverkit's head, making sure he didn't have any serious scratches before returning her grooming to Ravenkit, who was all to eager to leave the den.
"But Moooom!" Ravenkit cried out, trying her hardest to wiggle out of Moonsong's grasp, "He started it first! He bit my ear! See?" Despite her complaints, her ear was perfectly fine. Finally, she popped out from beneath her mother's paw and went running out of the den, nearly tumbling as she brought herself to a hault just outside of the den entrance.
Silverkit flicked his tail, sticking his tongue out as Ravenkit left the nursery so she wouldn't see. However, Moonsong did, and she tapped his head with a paw before rising to her feet. "Playing nice applies to you as well, furball," she murmered with a slight grin before realizing that Stonekit had left the nursery as well. "Now where did your brother go?..."

As soon as his sister popped out of the nursery, Stonekit cried out "GOT YA" and barreled her over. He wrapped his big paws around her and wrestled her to the ground so he could pin her down. "Haha! I got you, Ravenkit! I'm going to be the best warrior in all the clans!" he proclaimed loudly, hopping off her and practically dancing on his big, clumsy paws.
From his spot outside his den, Icestar watched his kits in amusement, finally snapping out of his daydreaming a little. They were starting to get too big for the nursery and he was sure his mate was ready to get out of there and get back to her warrior duties.

Once Moonsong peeked her head out of the den, her ears drooped and her expression went to one of slight annoyance. These kits needed to become apprentices before she lost her mind. A loud sigh left her as she looked over in Icestar's direction, hoping for at least a little help.
"AH! HELP!" Ravenkit had obviously been caught by surprise, her eyes wide as she was knocked over and pinned down. She was soon released, and she shook herself off before grumbling to herself. The kit soon straightened up, newfound confidence taking over. "Oh no you won't be! Not if I take best warrior title!" She soon leapt at her brother, tussling with him a bit as Silverkit snickered from a safe distance.
"Obviously I'll be the best warrior of all the clans," Silverkit stated simply, a big grin on his face as he waited for a reaction from his siblings.

With a little, fierce growl, Stonekit bounced away from Ravenkit to pounce on Silverkit and wrestle him to the ground instead. "You're too busy worrying about how pretty your fur looks!" he teased his brother, chomping on his ear.
Icestar snickered softly and shrugged his shoulders at his mate, though he slowly pushed himself to his feet and trotted over to his family. "You kits need to straighten up," he called out in a voice full of mock authority. "Do you know what happens to kits who drive their mothers crazy? They don't get to be warriors at all and have to spend the rest of their days cleaning the elder's den," the big tom added, sitting down next to the nursery and giving Moonsong a mischievous look.

Ravenkit was quick to rise to her paws before grooming herself clean of any dirt. She soon hid under Moonsong, her pale green eyes growing wide as she saw her father approach. Wiggling her back end, she quickly launched herself at the large grey tom, going around him to jump for his tail. "Aha! Got it!!" Her expression beamed with pride as she held onto his tail by her paws.
"Hey, watch it! I've gotta look good if I'm going to get a mate when I grow up!" Silverkit began to tussle with Stonekit, a big grin plastered on his face as he dodged the bite, putting a paw against his brother's mouth to stop him.
Moonsong groaned loudly as she laid on the ground, defeated. "I don't think they heard a word you just said," she mumbled, scooting closer to Icestar for warmth. "By the way, I think you've got something on your tail-- Hey!" The thin she-cat whipped her head around to look at Ravenkit, who had now attached herself to her mother's tail instead.

With a roll of his eyes, Icestar darted forward to scoop Ravenkit up by her scruff, plopping her down at his paws and sweeping one around her. The other two were thwaked by his big, fluffy tail, unbalancing Stonekit and knocking him off of Silverkit. "You three are on your way to actually being put to work cleaning out the elder's den. Great Starclan, I hope your mentors can handle you," he added, sounding exasperated. Still, a little purr rose in his throat as his mate leaned up against him, his big tail moving to wrap around her instead. "Maybe we should put them to work. Then we could sneak out of the camp together and have a little alone time," he rumbled, swiping his tongue over her ear affectionately.

The black kit let out a surprised mewl when she was picked up, and stumbled to find her balance when she was finally put down. She ended up falling onto her side dramatically. As for Silverkit, he quickly scrambled to his feet once his brother was knocked off of him. He gave his chest a few licks as he flashed Stonekit a smug look. Both his attention and his sister's were soon brought to Icestar at the mention of having to clean the elder's den. They both managed to cry out a "No!" in unison, although not once of sheer defiance. It was more or less just slightly unhappy with the thought of actually having to do work. Then again, it was something they would have to get used to.
Moonsong lifted her head to affectionately nuzzle her mate as she purred back softly. "I like the way you think," she replied softly, large ears perking up a bit. "The nursery den is a crowded place with those three, and I get tired being stuck in there all the time."

Shooing his kits with his tail, Icestar nodded towards the elder's den. "Go on, you lot. The bedding won't change itself. Frostfeather has got some extra moss in her den, so you can go and ask her for help. And while you're in there, you might as well get some mouse bile so you can clean ticks as well," he added, his voice stern. Then, he turned back to Moonsong with a wink. "They needed something to do. Now, how about that walk?"
Stonekit dramatically flopped over, complaining loudly about being forced to clean, though he scurried off at the shooing. "Come on, guys. Last one there is a rotten warbler!" he called, racing towards Frostfeather's den, probably just to get into trouble again.

Ravenkit groaned dramatically as she rose to her paws, letting out an exasperated "But I don't waaaannaaaa!" as she slowly trudged towards Frostfeather's den. Her feet almost felt like they were made of heavy rocks, but the mention of a race soon lifted her imaginary weight and she sprinted for the den, tumbling and rolling as she brought herself to a sudden halt just a few steps away from the den's opening. She looked behind herself to see her brothers not far behind, although Stonekit was a little ahead of Silverkit.
A quick huff could be heard from SIlverkit as he was shooed away, and was quick to join the race to the medicine cat's den. He had started out in front of his brother, but was soon proven to be juuuust a little slower than his usually clumsy brother. He had even managed to trip over himself, placing him last. He knew now that his siblings wouldn't leave him alone about being a "Rotten Warbler". "No fair! I tripped and fell!"
Frostfeather had been mindlessly sorting her herbs, enjoying the quiet of her otherwise empty den. There were no sick or injured cats to mend as of yet. "There we go," she mumbled to herself, her already naturally soft voice barely audible to the kits who were barreling towards her den. Despite her blindness, she was able to make herself face the entrance to "look" at the kits, although she was staring dead ahead instead of down at them. A soft paw reached out to touch the den's opening just to be sure she was facing the right way. "And what do you three need?"
A rather loud sigh of relief escaped Moonsong as she got up, leaning up just enough to rub her cheek against Icestar's. "I'll gladly take that walk. Laying around in that nursery for too long might make me forget how my legs work if I don't walk around some." A soft purr could be heard as she linked her tail with his. "Where shall we go?"

Icestar rubbed his fluffy cheek against hers, slowly guiding his mate towards the camp entrance. "Well, I was thinking of just letting out paws lead us around, see where they take us. I just want to spend some time with you," he added, his whiskers twitching a bit as his own tail wrapped a little more tightly around hers.
Stonekit just about skidded into all of Frostfeather's herbs, narrowly avoiding knocking them all over the place. With a little sneeze, he bounced around the blind medicine cat, beaming up at her. "We're here to get stuff for the elders!" he proudly proclaimed, though he crept towards the piles of herbs and began to sniff them. "Ew! These smell yucky!" he complained, jerking back and away from them.

With a nod and a growing purr, Moonsong let herself lean into the larger tom for a moment before straightening out again to walk alongside him. "Sounds like a plan to me." Tail still entwined with his, she kept her body close for warmth and for the single fact that he really was the only cat in the clan besides her kits that she loved. Yes, even if they were terribly annoying furballs who didn't know how to behave, she still loved her kits. Breaks were still nice, though. Soon enough, they had exited the camp, their paws free to roam the territory.
The poor medicine cat nearly panicked when she heard one of the kits barrel into her den, nearly knocking over all of the herbs she had just rearranged. Relief washed over her when she didn't hear them all tumble to the ground, and her worry was replaced with a humored look as she gave a bit of a laugh. "I take it you are being sent to care for the elders because you're being too much trouble? Perhaps you needed something to occupy you to keep you from causing more trouble?" The pale white she-cat soon turned away from the den's entrance,searching carefully for extra moss and mouse bile. "Trust me, if the herbs smell bad to you, imagine how much stronger they are to me. With my lack of sight, all of my other senses are enhanced... but I'm also used to all the herbs I suppose." She pawed the moss and mouse bile towards Stonekit because he was already in the den. "Take some of this to your siblings and make your way to the elders. I'm sure they will appreciate your help and youthful enthusiasm."

Flicking his tail down Moonsong's back, Icestar let his paws wander a bit as they left the camp, feeling a little less cramped now. "So, I figure you're going to want to wait until we have more kits, huh?" he teased, giving her a playful look. "Those three are an absolute pawful. I really feel sorry for which ever cats get them as apprentices."
Stonekit went to scoop the moss up completely in his jaws and instantly spat it all out when it also got the mouse bile into his mouth. The kit gagged for a moment, eyes watering, before he nudged the icky tasting moss ball out into the clearing, mewing a choked 'thanks' before grabbing the rest and joining his siblings.

Nightshadow padded back into the camp carrying a hare, and a mouse. She had a short cut on her side from tumbling into a sharp twig going after the mouse. She had a harsh look in her eye because of it. She mumbled through the fur of the hare, and the tail of the mouse, "Mouse dung. Why did the mouse have to run into the stupid brush...."

"Oh great Starclan, yes! I can barely handle those three, and I'm sure I'll need some time to regain my energy back before I'm ready again. Consider yourself lucky I'm willing to give it a second shot at all." Moonsong shook her head, although she gave a bit of a laugh. "Their mentors better be ready for five cat's worth of work with only one. I can only assume it will be hard enough to keep them on track in their training." Her large ears flicked a bit, having felt something fall on them. Sure enough, when she looked up to the sky, tiny flurries of snow were falling, gently floating down to the ground. Nothing that seemed worth worrying about, just something that made the already snowy scenery even prettier.
Ravenkit took a bit of the moss that was handed to her by her brother, leaving Silverkit to take the mouse bile. Tail raised high, she trotted over to the elder's den as she held her head up to keep the fresh moss from touching the ground. Poor Silverkit could only grimace as he hesitated to take the balls of mouse bile, but quickly picked them up in his mouth before running to the den after his sister, spitting them out as he gagged. "Why'd you leave me with all the mouse bile? You could've taken some!" "You were the rotten warbler, so it only suits you best," his sister replied with a snarky grin.
Frostfeather had since returned to her herbs, checking over them one last time to make sure she had everything and to make sure that kit didn't mess anything up. "I hope they calm down a bit," she mumbled to herself, although she couldn't help but smile. "They must be the craziest bunch of kits I've ever met."

Each snowflake seemed to just lightly settle itself on Icestar's thick pelt, not even beginning to melt yet. "Looks like leaf bare still isn't done with us yet, huh? But I hope greenleaf is better. Maybe then the other queens won't be upset because I have to crawl into the nursery to keep you warm," he added, his mew teasing and light. "But speaking of our kits... Who would you suggest mentor them? I don't have anyone else I can really talk to about that just yet."
Stonekit, being the first to the elder's den, pranced around for a bit before dropping his moss wad. Then, because Silverkit was getting all the torment right now, he scooped up a big ball of moss and flung it at his sister instead, purring happily. "Yea, but that doesn't mean you're safe from this either."
With the world being a little overcast, the camp wasn't exactly very bright, which seemed to have caused some warriors to over sleep a bit. One of these was Tigerstream, who suddenly seemed to remember where he was and came stumbling out of the warrior's den. He blinked rapidly, still groggy, and managed to finding himself tripping over a cat who was lounging outside of the den, stumbling and jumping to keep from squishing them. "Oh! Brightbird! I'm so sorry, I didn't see you," he quickly apologized, flattening his ears in a sheepish manner.

Brightbird started at the sudden force and quickly shot out a paw to steady herself. She blinked in surprise and, after gathering herself, simply smiled and laughed. "Oh, it's alright, not a pr--" Her eyes met Tigerstream's and she immediately froze. "It's n-nothing to worry about, really! It was an accident so it's perfectly fine! I-I mean, I shouldn't have been hanging out so close to the den entrance with it being so difficult to see already a-and I probably should have been doing something more productive anyways! I--" She cut herself off, suddenly painfully aware of how much she was talking. Ears burning, Brightbird lowered her head and averted her gaze. "Er, sorry... Why don't we share some prey? As a, um, sort of apology?" The she-cat mentally clawed herself for once again making such a fool of herself.

A puzzled look came across Moonsong's face as she thought for a moment, although she had a hard time focusing when all she could think about was how cold she was. Her pelt was so short and thin, it did little to nothing to protect her from even the slightest breeze. It was like she could feel every snowflake that touched her, and each one prompted her to move closer to her much warmer mate. "I'll be honest, I'm not sure. Do you think anyone could even handle them?"
Ravenkit put the moss down as soon as she got to the elder's den, and before she could start clearing out old moss, she was hit in the face by a moss ball. "Hey!" A soft growl left the kit as she shook herself to make sure none of it was stuck in her fur. She proceeded to take a ball of the old moss, flinging it out of the den before replacing it with new. She had work to do, and she wanted to get it done as soon as possible so she could give her brother what for.
Silverkit couldn't help but laugh a bit as his brother threw moss at his sister, but quickly jumped out of the way of the old moss she threw behind herself. "Watch where you're throwing that nasty stuff!" he hissed, bristling a bit from the little bit of shock. "That could have hit me!"

Nightshadow sighed and sat down, somewhat shivering from the cold wind. "I hate this weather..." She mumbled to herself and shook her head. Nightshadow looked around for someone to talk with or for something to do when she heard the kits in the elder's den, she smiled and walked over to see what was going on.

For a moment, Icestar just nodded, his eyes glazing over slightly as he was briefly lost in thought. He stopped walking, kind of wrapping his tail around his mate as he did, head tilted to one side. "Hmm... I think I have an idea," he said slowly, blinking and coming back to reality. "When we get back, I'll make them apprentices. That'll be one thing off my mind and then maybe I can start considering cats for deputy."
Stonekit immediately began to dig into the moss, kicking with his back legs to push it out of the den. "Come on, you two! If you're both this slow when we get to be apprentices, I'm definitely going to be the best warrior in the clan!"
Tigerstream blinked slowly when she began to ramble on, his gaze sort of just... lost. It wasn't until she mentioned eating together that he seemed to snap back to reality, his fur puffing up a bit. "Oh! Yes! I mean, ah, I'd love to," the tom said quickly, ducking his head to lap at his chest fur. "W-what do you want? I can dig around for something. I think one of the patrols brought back a nice warbler earlier. Or maybe if they have a couple lemmings, or a rabbit." He stopped, looking at her again with his big, dopey eyes. "I'm sorry. What would you like?"
