Falcontalon and Closesky went on a stroll together.
Ashrock returned to camp from a successful hunting patrol and brought Stonesong a lizard to talk about it. He was completely unaware of her annoyance with him.
Brittlefoot had a difficult first training session with Longpaw. Longpaw didn't do well with the eyes of camp watching him. When Brittlefoot let him go, he stalked off toward the apprentice den to pout. Kinkfire talked with Brittlefoot about how much of a challenge an apprentice like Longpaw is. Brittlefoot expressed belief that Longpaw will turn around and he noticed that Kinkfire was having discomfort throughout their conversation. Kinkfire blew it off and pointed out Longpaw sneaking out of the apprentice den. Brittlefoot slipped after the apprentice to find him training on his own outside camp.
Hazelblaze and Cinderspeck shared time together outside the medicine den. Cinderspeck supported her in her worry and frustrations with Bumbleskip.
Ratmask discovered Bumbleskip under thorn behind the warrior's den. The senior warrior was allowing himself to rot away because he felt he was curse on the Clan. That he got everyone he cared about killed. Ratmask, sharing the tom's feelings, decided to lay down beside him and rot away as well. Bumbleskip didn't stop him. Ratmask chatted about how they should get a bunch of cats in the Clan to rot with them: Goldberry, Cliffheart, even Snowdance and Opalmist for not saving the cats that have died due to injury or illness. Bumbleskip got defensive and snapped at Ratmask that he wouldn't fail Opalmist like he did the others. Ratmask told him he already did. Bumbleskip jumped up and yelled at him, but fainted due to his malnourished frame and sapped strength. Ratmask got up and dragged Bumbleskip to the medicine den where Opalmist could look after him.
Rustlepaw and Fuzzypaw discussed what was going on with Cliffheart. They decided to talk to Cedarstar about it. Fuzzypaw poked her head into his den to see if he was awake and Cedarstar scolded her for not waiting for an invitation. The two apprentices brought their concerns about Cliffheart to Cedarstar and stated that Cliffheart was missing. Cedarstar suggested asking around camp before raising any concerns. He asked Rustlepaw and Fuzzypaw to talk to Cliffheart's kits while he peeked in on the warrior's den. None of Cliffheart's kits had seen him, and Cedarstar didn't see Cliffheart in the warrior's den. Cedarstar ordered Eaglesight and Smokestorm to gather patrols and check the borders while he took Fuzzypaw, Cardinalblaze, and Hollowpool around the back territory where the Prey Maulers were last spotted. Lionscorch joined Smokestorm's patrol while Lynxdapple joined Eaglesight's.
Cardinalblaze, Houndthroat, and Crystalsight went on a hunting patrol. While out, a cedar branch fell and landed right in front of Cardinalblaze. Cardinalblaze had a vision from StarClan after it did; however, he hasn't told anyone about it. After the vision, Houndthroat and Crystalsight noticed that Cardinalblaze was acting off. (Pg 848)
Starrylight told Cedarstar she's expecting his second litter of kits!
Tensions are lingering with the apprentices. Not everyone is thrilled to have Longpaw and Lightpaw in the apprentice den. Brittlefoot walked up on Longpaw when the apprentice spoke bad about him. Amused, Brittlefoot told him to come up with a better insult before sending him and Lightpaw to the apprentice den to make their own nests.
Honeypaw, Coalpaw, and Crystalpaw passed their warrior assessments! Their warrior names are Honeycrest, Coalhaze, and Crystalsight! Cedarstar also Longkit and Lightkit apprentices! Longpaw's mentor is Brittlefoot--Longpaw wasn't happy about it. Lightpaw's mentor is Raccoonmask! (Pg 837-838). During the clan meeting, Cedarstar also reminded the Clan about Willowkit. He asked the queens how she was settling in and Talltalon informed the Clan that Leopardshadow has welcomed Willowkit into her nest. Willowkit is faring well. Cedarstar asked the Clan if any patrols have detected the scents of any cats on the territory or around the border, hoping Willowkit's family was looking for her, but no one's scented anything. Cedarstar decided that once the threat of the Prey Maulers was passed, they'd send a patrol to try and locate Willowkit's kin so they could return her to them. The meeting ended with Snakesong announcing to the Clan that she's expecting kits!
Buckpaw's mentor is Mouseclaw!
Cedarstar oversaw Honeypaw's, Coalpaw's, and Crystalpaw's warrior assessments. Starts pg 826
Cardinalblaze and Houndthroat had a nice heart to heart about family. Cardinalblaze then went on to tease Houndthroat about Lilywhisper.
Cedarstar came bristling out of his den and Snowdance followed after him, snapping that he was running away from everything that upset him and she challenged him with the question if that's what leaders do, run away? Her sharp behavior caught Cedarstar off guard and the entire Clan was shocked by Snowdance's unusual strictness (Cedarstar really ticked her off). Turns out they're arguing about Ashrock. Snowdance is sick of having him in her den and she believes he's been punished long enough. Cedarstar wouldn't have it. When Ashrock joined the argument, Cedarstar reminded the Clan what Ashrock did, and how Coalpaw as almost killed due to Ashrock's negligence. He threatened to throw Cedarstar in the apprentice den so he'd learn respect for the apprentices next. That's when Snowdance scolded Cedarstar by saying that Ashrock has been sneaking out of camp this whole time to train Coalpaw, Cedarstar was just too blind to see it. Coalpaw confirmed Snowdance's words by speaking up for himself. Cedarstar and Ashrock got into it, but Starrylight was able to calm Cedarstar down, that is...until Ashrock insulted the she-cat. Cedarstar attacked him to teach his brother some respect. The brothers fought, working out their tension. Cedarstar pinned Ashrock down and Ashrock apologized for everything he did to the Clan. Cedarstar then ordered for Honeypaw, Coalpaw, and Crystalpaw to meet him at the Burnt Sycamore before dawn the next day. He's going to oversee their warrior assessments. (pg 823)
Cedarstar visited the medicine den to get his injuries checked and to check on Foxshadow and Hazelblaze. Snowdance tended his wounds and expressed she wished to talk to him. The two headed to Cedarstar's den, though he looked a little nervous about it. Snowdance admitted to Cedarstar that Northstar brought her a prophecy some time ago. She told him of the prophecy, but he had no idea what any of it meant. They decided to ask Closesky about it and possibly visit the moonstone for further consultation with StarClan. Pg 820
Brittlefoot and Shortcloud patched holes in the camp walls.
Eaglesight spent time with Flowerkit and Grovekit. He taught them the basics of hunting frogs.
Smokestorm and Snakesong were reinforcing the camp walls when Snakesong suddenly got nauseous! They went to the medicine den in fear that she was sick. Snakesong had been hiding her illness for a moon now and Smokestorm was hurt she didn't tell him. They spoke with Opalmist and the medicine cat informed them that Snakesong is expecting kits! Smokestorm didn't take it well.
Littlemoon, Waspflame, Lionscorch, Moonpetal and Sunpaw went out on patrol to refresh the borders at SkyClan, ThunderClan, and Fourtrees. Frogleap needs members for a hunting patrol!
Snowkit and Midnightkit introduced themselves to Willowkit and wanted to play with her. Vulturekit told Willowkit about his parents.
Littlemoon, Waspflame, Ravenflight, and Strikepaw discovered a kit named Willow wandering the territory. They brought her to the nursery. She's been renamed Willowkit. Leopardshadow and Talltalon are fostering her.
I'm adding PicCrew photos to Clan forms. If you want yours added, please send me the photo through DMs!
Mistkit asked Ashrock about herbs. Ashrock was very annoyed by it. He told her what Alder bark does and she finally left him alone.
While Cedarstar waited to speak with Hazelblaze and Foxshadow, he spent time with Starrylight. They discussed how Cedarstar's kits wanted to spend time with him and show off their skills. Cedarstar felt guilty for not giving them the time he used to give when he was a warrior. Cedarstar left for the medicine den, so Starrylight sat and talked with Whorlpaw and Duskpaw about the climbing session and Cliffheart's briskness. Starrylight said she'd talk to Cedarstar about it.
Midnightkit, Snowkit, Flowerkit, and Grovekit are all playing in the nursery, but they're too big and too fast for Skullkit, Vulturekit, and Beekit to join. Talltalon came over to visit to cheer them up.
Shortcloud and Brittlefoot talked. Shortcloud was upset she couldn't fight the Prey Maulers. They discussed camp repairs and Brittlefoot expressed concerns for the kits after how he and Snakesong were abused. Shortcloud worried that he was hinting at Ratmask being absuive.
Cinderspeck visited Hazelblaze in the medicine den. Hazelblaze talked about Talltalon, Talltalon overheard and felt happy about it. Cinderspeck admired Hazelblaze's bravery. He told her about Cedarstar's updates.
Cliffheart, Tumblefoot, and Nectarnose led the apprentices: Palepaw, Honeypaw, Fuzzypaw, Rustlepaw, Duskpaw, Coalpaw, Crystalpaw, Rowanpaw, Spottedpaw, and Whorlpaw in a climbing lesson. Others joined in.
- Honeypaw was aggravated by Cliffheart's harsh comments during the training session, especially about Whorlpaw and Rowanpaw.
- Duskpaw fixed her form at Cliffheart's stern scolding.
- Crystalpaw encouraged Strikepaw to get climbing
- Fuzzypaw misjudged how high she could jump and ended up falling; Owlflight and Spottedpaw checked on her and encouraged her, she got back to it
- Rustlepaw got stuck and whispered to Spottedpaw for help, when he turned to reach her he realized he was stuck too. Nectarnose went to help, calling out to Tumblefoot to help as well
- Honeypaw and Coalpaw are climbing well, Honeypaw wanted to compliment his brother but held his tongue. Honeypaw helped encourage Rowanpaw to climb when the younger tom was scared.
- Fuzzypaw, Honeypaw, Strikepaw, Coalpaw are successfully inching up their trees
- Palepaw got his claws stuck in a tree. His sisters helped him out of it, but he tore a claw on his right paw in the process.
- Tumblefoot tried helping Rustlepaw climb. He closed his eyes to try and put himself in her paws.
- Fuzzypaw climbed too high and got scolded by Cliffheart. He made her climb to a certain branch twenty times. Spottedpaw protested, but before Cliffheart could respond, Fuzzypaw accidentally dropped a pinecone on his head. Angered and questioning life, Cliffheart walked away from the entire training session. Upset that she "ruined" the training session, Fuzzypaw apolgized and ran off. Spottedpaw went after her.
- Duskpaw and Whorlpaw took Palepaw to the medicine den. Snowdance wrapped up his paw and Opalmist helped him find ways to help dull his claws down so they don't get too long and stuck in everything.
- Rowanpaw and Honeypaw discussed Cliffheart's past and how ShadowClan's future depends on the now and now, Cliffheart shouldn't be mentoring apprentices if he's going to keep acting this way.
Cedarstar returned to camp! He, Stormcloud, and Oakstalk found Ferretclaw and Foxshadow with Ashrock. Foxshadow was badly wounded by the prey maulers and Ashrock put some Alder bark on the wound to help her, but Cedarstar scolded his brother for messing with herbs again. Everyone is now back at camp. Cedarstar made the announcement that border patrols are to be increased and no cat is to leave the camp alone. He warned that if anyone should see a prey mauler on the territory, they are not to engage and to return to camp for reinforcements. If cats are spotted by a prey mauler, they must climb a tree and wait them out. Cats who don't know how to climb are to report to Cliffheart for special training. Due to them leaving the camp, Longkit and Lightkit will not be made apprentices until they're 7 moons old.
The patrols sent out to the borders and Fourtrees are returning to camp.
Kinkfire, Hazelblaze, and Talltalon returned to camp! Hazelblaze is badly wounded in the leg while Talltalon and Kinkfire have minor injuries. They reported that they were able to lead the Prey Maulers off the territory. However, they got separated from Foxshadow and Ferretclaw. Cedarstar, Stormcloud, and Oakstalk are out looking for the young warriors.
Ratmask and Leaffrost made it back to camp with Lightkit and Longkit! Ratmask explained what was going with Cedarstar and the Prey Maulers to the Clan. Falcontalon and Closesky sent warriors out to gather the patrols at the borders. Cardinalblaze, Houndthroat, and Bumbleskip went to search for Spiderfang's patrol--weirdly, Closesky told Bumbleskip to lead the patrol but the senior warrior let Cardinalblaze do it. Cliffheart led Thistlestalk and Lilywhisper to the borders to gather the other patrols. Everyone is needed at camp to either provide reinforcements for Cedarstar or protect the camp.
Whorlpaw and Honeypaw snuck out of camp during the commotion of the missing kits. They found Ashrock and Coalpaw training near a stream along the ThunderClan border. When they informed the two of what was going on, Ashrock ran toward Carrionplace after ordering the apprentices to head back to camp. They were delayed, however, as they got into an argument about Coalpaw's and Ashrock's secret training. Eventually, they did make it back to camp and heard of all the missing kit commotion. Coalpaw assisted Snowdance and Opalmist while Whorlpaw, Honeypaw, and Palepaw got fresh moss for the nests of all the warriors that went out on the rescue patrol.
Longkit's and Lightkit's scents were tracked to the Carrionplace! Cedarstar, Leaffrost, Rustlepaw, and Ratmask found them, but they also found Carrionplace crawling with a bunch of Prey Maulers (coyotes)! Rustlepaw headed back to camp to warn the Clan while Cedarstar and the others went after the kits. Cedarstar drew the Prey Maulers away while Ratmask and Leaffrost got Longkit and Lightkit out of there (they were hiding from the maulers). On the way back to camp, Leaffrost and Ratmask ran into Kinkfire's patrol of Stormcloud, Oakstalk, Hazelblaze, Foxshadow, and Ferretclaw--the warriors warned by Rustlepaw at camp what happened. They told the patrol Cedarstar led the Prey Maulers away and the patrol chased after their leader to provide support. They found in him a tree surrounded by a pack of Maulers. A fight broke out. Stormcloud and Kinkfire fought a Prey Mauler together while Talltalon and Hazelblaze fought one together. Foxshadow and Ferretclaw saved Cedarstar's life when a Prey Mauler went after their leader while he was downed. The patrol led the prey maulers off the territory. Ferretclaw and Foxshadow got separated from the patrol and Foxshadow got injured by a lone mauler. The two chased it off. The rest of the patrol made it across the border and climbed to the roof of a twoleg nest to avoid the maulers. The twoleg inside the nest heard the commotion and used a deathstick to chase the maulers off. It did not see the cats on the roof. Hazelblaze sustained injury from one of the maulers. So, Cedarstar had Talltalon and Kinkfire take her back to camp while he, Stormfury, and Oakstalk went back to find Foxshadow and Ferretclaw.
After Cedarstar announced a warning to the Clan about the Prey Mauler, Leaffrost discovered that Lightkit and Longkit were missing! The Clan jumped to action. Cedarstar, Ratmask, Leaffrost, and Rustlepaw headed out to find the kits' scent trail. Stormcloud took Oakstalk and Russetshade to search for the kits at Fourtrees. Tumblefoot, Lynxdapple, and Oakfall headed for the ThunderClan/SkyClan border to search for them there. Vixenflame took Burninghope, Houndthroat, and Robinflight to the WindClan border and back territory to search for the kits. Spiderfang, Mouseclaw, Spottedpaw, and Starrylight searched the inner territory for the kits. Everyone needs to be careful of the Prey Mauler out there! The search for Longkit and Lightkit is underway!
Cedarstar's patrol returned! He made an announcement about the strange scent he and Rustlepaw discovered and warned the clan of the mauled prey they found by the back border. Cedarstar ordered that no cats are to go anywhere alone. Patrols along the back border and WindClan's territory are to be increased, and more guards will be posted while the Clan sleeps. Until they can determine what entered their territory and if it will return, the Clan is to remain vigilant.
Snowdance had another dream from Northstar (she hasn't told anyone yet). She left her den appearing a little ashamed and visited the elder's den.
Cedarstar and Rustlepaw caught the scent of something they didn't recognize while training one day. While Cedarstar checked it out, Rustlepaw returned to camp and informed Kinkfire. Kinkfire gathered Lynxdapple and Stormcloud and they followed Rustlepaw to the scent's location. They found Cedarstar at the back border. Whatever infiltrated the territory left and left a trail of mauled prey in its wake. Cedarstar, Lynxdapple, and Stormcloud refreshed the scent markers up and down the border up to WindClan territory while Kinkfire and Rustlepaw returned to camp to gather the Clan.
Talltalon and Leopardshadow had their kits! Their names are Beekit, Skullkit, and Vulturekit!
It is a sad day in ShadowClan. Hiddendream began kitting; however, through the process something went wrong. Snowdance and Opalmist did all they could, but Hiddendream passed on to StarClan. She did give birth to Viperpool's two kits: Flowerkit and Grovekit. Both Songbreeze and Cherryvine will nurse the two kits and Songbreeze, Lionscroch, and Eaglesight have decided to raise them like their own.
Jewelspirit has decided to leave the forums! Because of this, her characters are getting claimed by other members. Characters not claimed will be killed off. Moonblazer will take over as Opalmist until Willow's kit is old enough to become a medicine cat apprentice. All characters not claimed are highlighted red.
Tumblefoot and Burninghope are now mates!!!
Owlpaw's mentor is Lionscorch! Kestrelpaw's mentor is Pinefeather!
Leopardshadow is expecting Talltalon's kits!
Cherryvine had Stormfury's kits! With Snowdance and Opalmist out of camp, Ashrock (surprisingly) helped deliver them! They have four healthy kits: Pinekit, Hailkit, Mistkit, and Featherkit!
ShadowClan has three new apprentices and three new warriors! Turkeypaw's mentor is Ferretclaw! Spottedpaw's mentor is Lynxdapple! Rustlepaw's mentor is Cedarstar himself! Then, for tirelessly hunting and providing for the Clan, Hollypaw, Oakpaw, and Lilypaw were made warriors! Their warrior names are Hollyvine, Oakfall, and Lilywhisper!! Cedarstar was a little awkward in ending the meeting and didn't dismiss everyone properly.
The rp has been VERY inactive lately because everyone is busy with RL stuff. However, we refuse to let it die! Members feel free to snail post rp if need be!
ShadowClan is holding Fourtrees for all of leaf-bare so that we might be able to feed ourselves after the fire. Don't forget to hunt and border patrol there! Also, keep in mind that ShadowClan is getting assistance from Gregory and Shimmer of the twoleggedplace. They bring us prey that they catch and don't need.

Gathering preparations:
The Clan has been getting ready for the Gathering. Cedarstar came out of his den, still weakened by his burns, and Cardinalblaze chatted with him about the coming gathering (what they could expect from Spiritstar and SkyClan. Cedarstar expressed his distrust of Spiritstar. He had a lot of deep thoughts as well, but I'm not typing them out. Check around Pg 733) and apprenticeships. Cedarstar seemed a little anxious and overwhelmed and wishing to help his Clan, but he was still under restricted movement by Snowdance's order. The conversation between the two of them was pleasant, but was cut off when noticed arguing by the apprentice den. Honeypaw, Lilypaw, and Whorlpaw were chatting about the upcoming gathering and what to expect when Whorlpaw and Honeypaw had a disagreement about how the other Clans would react to them and whether or not Ashrock should be forgiven for his crimes against Cedarstar. When Whorlpaw stormed off, Cedarstar and Goldberry went to talk to Honeypaw to inquire what happened. Honeypaw wouldn't say anything in front of his father, so Goldberry padded away. Cedarstar was able to ease some of Honeypaw's inner demons, until Honeypaw brought up Ashrock. Cedarstar bluntly stated that Ashrock should never be forgiven for what he did. Honeypaw opened up a bit more to Cedarstar when Cedarstar actually admitted his own weakness to Honeypaw and throught their conversation, Cedarstar grew more confident in himself and Honeypaw gained more respect toward the leader. Honeypaw then went to apologize and clear the air with Whorlpaw. Sunpaw watched the conversation from the shadows of the apprentice den.
Duskpaw was showing off a battle move to Starrylight when Palepaw came over to ask for help in mastering that move. They had a little training session while waiting to go to the gathering and Starrylight helped Palepaw get better at the the move. They then discussed what would happen at the gathering and Duskpaw and Palepaw announced their support for their father.
Sootwhisker found his apprentice Rowanpaw and instructed him on how to act for his first gathering. They then talked about siblings and Rowanpaw inquired about Sootwhisker's favorite clanmate.
Falcontalon and Closesky waited to head for the gathering together. They discussed what might occur at the gathering and shared their concerns with each other. They also discussed doing more around the camp and possibly joining hunting patrols to help the Clan and keep them young. Falcontalon made the comment that Closesky had seen much in his life and Closesky replied with there was still much more to see. That led into a conversation about Cedarstar.
Shortcloud and Russetshade discussed what might happen at the gathering and how the clan would survive leaf-bare with such few prey in the forest, trips to the twoleggedplace might be needed. They figured ThunderClan would blame ShadowClan for not warning them of the fire like they warned the other Clans and also determined that ThunderClan needed to get over themselves.
Cinderspeck and Hazelblaze discussed what could happen at the gathering.
Due to his recent ban, Jekyll and his characters have been removed from the Clan. For story's sake, his characters died in the fire.
Camp Activity:
Sootwhisker was bringing Rowanpaw back to camp after showing him the territory. They ran into Littlemoon who was guarding the camp entrance. They talked about their concerns for the upcoming leafbare.
Stormfury helped Whorlpaw and Palepaw weave some brambles into the apprentice den then decided to take the two hunting. Coalpaw tagged along, hoping to get some training in. When they stopped out in the forest to hunt, Stormfury asked Whorlpaw to go after a frog, but her unease about the burnt territory had her hesitating. She missed the frog and when she missed, Coalpaw went after it. However, because Coalpaw is behind in training, he also missed the frog. Stormfury had to catch it.
Sunpaw had been brooding by the apprentice den, angry with StarClan for taking all of her family. Coalpaw about ran into her.
Shortcloud brought Cedarstar prey from the fresh kill pile and gave him a bit of an update on what was happening around the camp--Cedarstar still confined to his den due to the seriousness of his burns. He asked Shortcloud to make sure Cloudscar was sending out proper patrols and have those patrols keep an eye out for Gregory or Shimmer from the twoleggedplace. The loner and kittypet helped ShadowClan survive the last leaf-bare by bringing them prey, Cedarstar hoped they would once again aid the Clan in their time of need. Cedarstar also asked Shortcloud to make sure the Clan was keeping an eye on WindClan's border. Swiftstar saw our state when he came to the camp, we don't need him taking advantage of us. Shortcloud took Cedarstar's orders to Cloudscar and the deputy sent her out on a hunting patrol and had another patrol head to the twoleggedplace to find Gregory and Shimmer.
Ashrock returned to camp and slipped into the medicine den. Opalmist caught him going through the herb storage and she questioned what he was doing. Ashrock admitted that he was searching for coltsfoot or yarrow. When Opalmist asked why, he showed her his damaged pads. Opalmist immediately started to treat Ashrock and she argued with him about him needing to rest. She won. Ashrock headed back to the warriors den to rest.
Houndthroat woke from a nap and looked around for cats to relieve from work. He ended up talking with Lilypaw and the two went hunting. They caught two pieces of prey!
Spiderfang assisted Ratmask on part of the camp wall. She butted into his issues of loss, having noticed how Ratmask avoided being around other cats, especially his mate and kits. Ratmask blamed himself for the dead of Longsight, Pouncefire, and Marshsong and Spiderfang helped him through some of it. They then talked about elders and how some apprentices were slacking off from cleaning Falcontalon's and Closesky's pelts even though the two can do it themselves. They talked about training, love, and other sappy stuff.
Poppyflame was working on reinforcing the camp wall when Frogleap came over to her and suggested she take a break. They were going to snag some prey from the freshkill pile, but seeing how so few pieces were left, they decided to rest up instead and wake Houndthroat from his nap to take their place working around the camp. Before they could, Treadtail padded up to them, asking to speak with Frogleap. Treadtail wanted Frogleap's help in getting over his fear of Thunderpaths. It was revealed that Treadtail has never been back to the thunderpaths since his accident as an apprentice, so he's been skipping all the border patrols he had been assigned too, by going hunting instead. Frogleap said he would help Treadtail with his fear and the two headed for the border. They didn't make it to the border as Treadtail's fear leeched into Frogleap and both decided it was best to turn back and hunt instead. Hunting calmed both of them down and they managed to catch one piece of prey due to Treadtail's quick thinking.
Ravenflight brought Russetshade more brambles for the nursery and suggested she take a break. They ended up both continuing work on the nursery and talking about their late parents.
Ratmask discovered Treadtail cowering in a shaded part of the camp wall. Ratmask harked on him for being so skittish and not helping around the Clan and eventually told him to get out of the way. Treadtail sulked towards the warriors den, but then decided that he wasn't worthy enough to live in ShadowClan. Littlemoon had to talk him out of running away and he returned to camp.
Ferretclaw fretted over Foxshadow for working when her lungs were still damaged from smoke.
Leopardshadow and Talltalon talked about Talltalon's adventure in the twoleggedplace.
Smokestorm and Snakesong spoke of Cliffheart's reaction to Owlshadow's death. Smokestorm making the comment that Cliffheart will never see Owlshadow again since he's destined for the Dark Forest when he dies. They talked of StarClan's cruelty and why they allowed the fire to happen. Perhaps StarClan wasn't happy with Cedarstar as leader or some other reason. They then contemplated if Cedarstar had lost a life in the blaze and determined that because of his injuries, that he did. They then wondered what the other Clans would think when they saw Cedarstar. The two eventually left camp to check the WindClan border.
Snowdance returned from gathering herbs. She and Opalmist are trying to get their den back to normal.
Stormcloud and Kinkfire spoke how the camp was coming along, but also commented on the emotional states of everyone in the Clan. They decided to get out and go on a border patrol together.
Lionscorch checked up on his mate, Songbreeze, and Pearlkit. They spoke of Cliffheart's reaction to Owlshadow's death. Songbreeze admitted that she couldn't go on if she ever lost Lionscorch. Songbreeze even admitted that she thought it was her fault her kits didn't survive, but Lionscorch reassured her that nothing could've been done. Like most of the Clan, Lionscorch was a little bitter towards StarClan for taking so many from them. The two shared a little bit of prey and Pearlkit opened her eyes!
Cardinalblaze noticed how hesitant Raccoonmaask has been lately. She's been putting on an optimistic front, but the loss of Quailfrost and Roseleaf has shaken her faith in StarClan. Cardinalblaze managed to reassure Raccoonmask by reminding her that she wasn't alone, she has him, Falcontalon, and Goldberry. Raccoomask even found some moss for the nursery. They carried on conversation, even talking about Cardinalblaze's trip to SkyClan. The two brought back more moss for the Clan. Raccoomask had a difficult time returning to camp knowing that Roseleaf and Quailfrost wouldn't be there, but Cardinalblaze helped her through it. When Raccoonmask had a hard time reentering the camp, Cardinalblaze stayed with her a while.
Cliffheart and Cardinalblaze returned from SkyClan territory. Cardinalblaze went to speak with his sister, Raccoonmask, while Cliffheart looked for his mate, Owlshadow. Eaglesight, Songbreeze, Hiddendream, and Smokestorm approached their father (Cliffheart), and regretfully informed him that Owlshadow didn't make it out of the fire. Cliffheart didn't take it well and stormed off to report what happened in SkyClan to Cedarstar. Eaglesight then took Hiddendream to the medicine den when he noticed she wasn't feeling well. Opalmist determined that Hiddendream is expecting kits! However, Hiddendream didn't take the news well since the kits' father, Viperpool, died in the fire and won't be able to help her raise them. Eaglesight reassured her that he, their other siblings, and Cliffheart will always be there to help her. Hiddendream has decided to not tell the Clan about her pregnancy yet. They spoke a little bit about the fate of their father's soul then Eaglesight brought Hiddendream a lizard to eat, but she refused it so that someone else could have it. Eaglesight had to beg to get her to eat it and they brightened each others' mood by discussion what Hiddendream's kits will be like. Eaglesight hopes to mentor one. Eventually, the two headed over to the warrior's den to check on Cliffheart. when they realized their father wasn't sleeping, Hiddendream told him the good news. He took it well.
Smokestorm and Snakesong have been spending a lot of time together. Snakesong managed to catch a bird while hunting.
Coalpaw assisted Ashrock and Closesky in clearing a fallen branch from the elder's den. Coalpaw noticed that Ashrock has been clearing dens all day. Stonesong came over to help and she and Ashrock had a little spat. Stonesong still cares for Ashrock and Ashrock can't see why. Coalpaw then snapped, saying that Ashrock was a big lizard-brain and was only one keeping himself from being happy. When he commented about becoming the oldest and largest apprentice, Ashrock snapped at him, saying there were more important things going on at the moment besides training. Ashrock eventually stormed off, declaring he didn't need to take Stonesong's and Coalpaw's lectures and he didn't ask for their help. Ashrock sulked through the territory.
At Cloudscar's request, Houndthroat took Stormcloud, Robinflight, and Sandflower on a border patrol. When they reached the WindClan border, they found Swiftstar and Dawnshadow waiting for them. Swiftstar requested to see Cedarstar, claiming to have a message for him. Houndthroat ultimately made the decision to allow Swiftstar to come to camp and the WindClan leader was able to see how badly ShadowClan was effected by the fire. Swiftstar spoke with Cedarstar in front of the entire Clan, saying he had a warning and apology to offer. He admitted that his former clanmate Meadowbrook was a traitor and a murderer. She was banished from WindClan after StarClan exposed her crimes and Swiftstar wanted to warn ShadowClan that she shouldn't be trusted if seen around their territory. Swiftstar continued by apologizing to Stormfury, who had been framed by Meadowbrook and wrongly banished from WindClan. Swiftstar offered Stormfury a chance to return to WindClan and before Stormfury could speak, Cherryvine, Stormfury's mate, went off on the WindClan leader. Swiftstar humbly replied to Cherryvine, but Stormfury told the WindClan leader that as glad as he was that his name in WindClan was cleared, his place was in ShadowClan. Cedarstar then suggested that it was time for Swiftstar and Dawnshadow to leave. Swiftstar agreed and Cloudscar took Kinkfire and Lynxdapple as a patrol to escort Swiftstar and Dawnshadow back to the border.
Camp Activity:
Spottedkit, Turkeykit, Rustlekit, and Longkit played around the broken down nursery. Spottedkit and Turkeykit wrestled and Longkit was a jerk to Rustlekit and Turkeykit.
Flintclaw returned to camp with Palepaw and Duskpaw, each carrying brambles and moss for the dens. Palepaw looked a bit embarrassed for some reason.
Starrylight and Frogleap were working on clearing old brambles out of the camp when Frogleap suggested a hunting patrol. He took Lynxdapple, Thistlestalk, and Tumblefoot with him. Lynxdapple and Thistlestalk teased Tumblefoot about a she-cat he likes. Tumblefoot, Lyxndapple, and Frogleap each caught a piece of prey!
Houndthroat and Lilypaw worked together on reinforcing the camp wall. They seemed to get along rather well.
Kinkfire, Stormcloud, and Slatepaw returned from a border patrol and Kinkfire sent Slatepaw to check the elders for fleas and ticks. Slatepaw disrespected the Clan's elders, complaining about not wanting to do the task, so Kinkfire scolded her and threatened to have her clean the dirtplace pine instead. When Slatepaw apologized, Kinkfire sent her to clean the elders' den and pelts until they were spotless.
Ashrock and Stonesong gathered all 21 bodies of the dead to one place for vigil and burial, they went hunting afterwards and spent time discovering that Ashrock has feelings.
Cedarstar was resting for a while, but came out to watch the camp, his burns are still pretty bad. Falcontalon was laying with Pearlkit and spotted the young leader. They talked about finding volunteers to help the elders bury all 18 of the dead.
Ratmask, Starrylight, and Duskpaw worked on rebuilding the nursery. Ratmask carried brambles over and passed by his kits without even noticing them. Lightkit and Longkit hid in the burnt ferns by the medicine den spying on their father.
Closesky and Falcontalon worked on enforcing the elder's den before Falcontalon laid down with Pearlkit.
Stormfury and Cherryvine went for a walk together. They talked about private things and had a sweet heart to heart moment.
Starrylight is Blizzardpaw's mentor!
Smokestorm and Snakesong are now mates!
Kinkfire is Slatepaw's mentor!
Snowdance headed to the Moonstone for the half-moon medicine cat gathering! Opalmist remained behind to look after the wounded.
Thistlestalk, Poppyflame, and Stormfury have returned from warning WindClan! They are unharmed and were able to get to WindClan in time to warn them of the flames. WindClan has suffered losses, but Swiftstar sent the message that they're in ShadowClan's debt!
Talltalon and Ravenpaw have returned!!! In the middle of rebuilding the camp, Ravenpaw burst through the camp entrance, wildly and frantically looking for her siblings: Sunpaw and Sproutpaw. It was Cedarstar that finally got her to calm down and Talltalon explained to the Clan that when the twolegs took them, they took them far away and it was thanks to help of a well groomed cat in the twoleggedplace that they were able to make it home at all! Everyone is grateful for the warrior's and apprentice's return; however, Cedarstar had the unfortunate role of telling Ravenpaw that Sproutpaw didn't survive the fire (when in reality their rper was deleted due to inactivity). Ravenpaw didn't take it well. She lashed out at Starrylight and Cedarstar who were only trying to console and give her time to rest and grieve and then she ran away.
Everyone is to work together on rebuilding the camp! While Cedarstar recovers from his wounds, Cloudscar has been heading the recovering! Oakstalk and Goldberry are to take patrols out to look for materials to rebuild the camp with! Frogleap and Dustrose are to head hunting patrols! Everyone needs to help where they can!
Flintclaw returned to Fourtrees from ShadowClan's territory! Ashrock, Shortcloud, and Lynxdapple remained behind to start cleaning up the camp. Flintclaw reported to Cedarstar that the territory was safe and Cedarstar called the Clan together! Bumbleskip, Kestrelgaze, and Brittlefoot will remain at Fourtrees to wait for the patrols still in SkyClan, RiverClan, and WindClan territories, and hold the Fourtrees territory as ShadowClan's, but everyone else is to follow Cedarstar back to camp! Apprentices are to help queens with kits and Snowdance and Opalmist with herbs and warriors are walk with the elders! Once back at camp, Cedarstar and Cloudscar will organize hunting patrols and repair units!
Back at Fourtrees, Mouseclaw presented Turkeykit to Cloudscar, wanting to take the kit directly to Cedarstar, but Cedarstar had been resting. For the time being, Turkeykit was brought to Spiderfang and Leaffrost at the makeshift nursery where Turkeykit got to meet the other kits and ask some questions about the Clan. When Cedarstar woke, Mouseclaw brought Turkeykit before him and admitted the little kit's history and that he and Spiderfang were willing to care for Turkeykit. Cedarstar spoke of the warrior code and how they couldn't turn down a kit in need. Cedarstar decreed that Mouseclaw and Spiderfang can look after Turkeykit; however, if Turkeykit ever chooses to leave ShadowClan after we've nourished him, he will not be allowed back.
While on the patrol to scout the territory, Mouseclaw and Ashrock discovered a little kit in the ashes of the pines. The kit is only four moons old and severely malnourished. The kit claimed to be Turkeykit, a former kittypet was told to come to the Clans by his mother in order to avoid be sold to other twolegs. Mouseclaw immediately wanted to take the kit to the Clan at Fourtrees, Lynxdapple and Flintclaw agreeing with him. Ashrock protested saying they should drop the kit off at ThunderClan or with one of the kittypets in the twoleggedplace, but everyone else in the patrol shot him down. Mouseclaw took Turkeykit straight back to Fourtrees while the rest of the patrol continued to scout the territory.
As dawn rose the day after the Great Fire, Cedarstar and Cloudscar discussed the Clan's next steps. At Cedarstar's order, Cloudscar called Flintclaw to lead Shortcloud, Ashrock, Lynxdapple, and Mouseclaw on a patrol to scout the territory and determine if it was safe for ShadowClan to return to it.
Stormcloud and Kinkfire are now mates!!
Stonesong and Ashrock got into a fight! Ashrock was running himself ragged trying to hunt for the Clan, but Stonesong finally got him to rest by knocking some sense into him, literally! So exhausted, Ashrock couldn't fight back. He finally gave in when Stonesong pinned him. Back with the Clan, Ashrock had a bit of an emotional moment, but Stonesong was able to calm him down.
Mothpaw's mentor is Pinefeather!
Even amidst the tragedy, the ShadowClan survives! Burningpaw, Vixenpaw, and Hazelpaw have earned their warrior names! Burningpaw is now Burninghope! Vixenpaw is now Vixenflame and Hazelpaw is now Hazelblaze! In addition to new warriors, the Clan also has two new apprentices! Strikepaw's mentor is Ravenflight while Rowanpaw's mentor is Sootwhisker! Russetshade has moved out of the nursery.
Cedarstar announced that the Clan will remain at Fourtrees until the fire dies out of their territory. When they return to ShadowClan, everyone will need to work together to rebuild the camp! Prey will be hard to find, but perhaps the Clan could get help from Gregory and Shimmer like they did during leaf-bare! If not, patrols will have to hunt beyond ShadowClan's borders to find prey for the Clan. Cloudscar will be in charge of setting up patrols to scout the territory when the flames begin to recede so we know when its safe to go back!
Tumblefoot and Burningpaw returned to Fourtrees with a vulture! In these dark times, we have the peace of mind knowing that the Clan won't go hungry tonight thanks to their catch!
Cloudscar has made an announcement! Though the Clan has much to mourn and with Cedarstar recovering from his wounds, Cloudscar announced that with the fire spreading, the other Clans needed to be warned. It was too late to warn ThunderClan, the embers of the fire raging through ThunderClan's trees, but the other Clans could still make it out. Cliffheart and Cardinalblaze were ordered to go warn SkyClan, Pinefeather and Moonpetal are to go warn RiverClan, and Thistlestalk, Stormfury, and Poppyflame will warn WindClan. All messengers are to be careful and report back to Fourtrees as soon as they can. If the fire is too dangerous to be able to reach the other Clans, then the messengers are to give up the mission. At Fourtrees, apprentices should be gathering moss and other bedding for the kits, queens, and elders. Warriors are to assist Snowdance and Opalmist in searching for herbs and hunt to the best of their abilities. Not much prey has been gathered, the Clan can't go hungry!
Ashrock was breaking the news of Owlshadow's death to Hiddendream, Eaglesight, Smokestorm, and Songbreeze. Unfortunately, Ashrock is not the most sympathetic cat in the Clan. The four kits of Owlshadow were taking it hard and Ashrock snapped at them to get over it. At least they had what time they did with Owlshadow when others (like himself) didn't even know their mothers. Ashrock stated that all the 17 cats that were lost to the blaze would never be forgotten, Owlshadow's kits should be helping the Clan, not moping around. Safe to say, Ashrock royally ticked off Hiddendream, Eaglesight, and Smokestorm--Songbreeze panicking after getting yelled at. An argument broke out, but Lionscorch calmed it. Hiddendream, Eaglesight, Smokestorm, and Songbreeze remained in each other's comfort while Ashrock stalked off to hunt once again. Tigerfury followed after Ashrock and the two got into a heated argument. Later, Coalpaw noticed his mentor (Ashrock) patrolling alone and tried to talk to him. Ashrock ended up pushing Coalpaw away. Later, Falcontalon tried talking some sense into Ashrock, but Ashrock wouldn't open up--stubborn furball. This began on page 90 of Fourtrees if you wish to read it over.
The Clan is slowly recovering at Fourtrees, while the territory still burns. Cedarstar woke up, but is under orders from Snowdance to rest. With Roseleaf's death, Pearlkit is motherless and needs a surrogate queen for milk. Falcontalon begged Songbreeze for her help even though Songbreeze just lost her two kits. Songbreeze agreed, deciding that her two kits could never be replaced, but she would love Pearlkit as her own.
Kestrelgaze's patrol of Eaglesight reported the the fire is spreading into ThunderClan territory, but has yet to come in the direction of Fourtrees. Warriors are to keep a lookout.
Goldberry's patrol of Smokestorm and Dustrose reported that the fire hasn't crossed into WindClan territory yet. Pinefeather's patrol ended up bringing back prey for the Clan to eat. Opalmist and Snowdance are working tirelessly to treat the wounded.
Honeypaw and Oakstalk had a heart to heart after what happened to them in the flames. Honeypaw felt guilty that Oakstalk wasted time saving him instead of Ribbindance, Oakstalk's mate. Oakstalk assured his apprentice that as his apprentice, Honeypaw was Oakstalk's responsibility. It was Oakstalk's decision to go out looking for Lynxdapple and Morningpaw instead of being beside his mate. So, Oakstalk felt that Ribbondance's death was his fault. The mentor and apprentice are actually starting to get along and agreed to a fresh start!
Stonesong admitted her feelings for Ashrock while marking Fourtrees with ShadowClan scent. Ashrock being...well Ashrock, he didn't take it too kindly, telling her that she was wasting her time. With how much the Clan hated him, they'd reject her for loving him. Upset by his response, Stonesong stormed off. Kinkfire came up to Ashrock and called him an idiot.
Pinefeather egged Ashrock when she noticed him trying to join a patrol. She asked if he was trying to show up Cedarstar again and wasn't shy of reminding him of how he fed Cedarstar poppy seeds. The two departed from of each with furs raised.
At Fourtrees the Clan tried to recover. With Cedarstar injured and unconscious from exhaustion and burns, Closesky took over. The elder ordered patrols out: Pinefeather took out a hunting patrol, Ashrock took some cats to cover Fourtrees with ShadowClan scent to make sure the other Clans stayed away. Kestrelgaze and Goldberry took separate patrols to scout the fire. Fourtrees was turned into a makeshift camp and a list of missing cats was made. Some warriors in the Clan were able to admit the fate of those they saw perish. Others, no one knew their fate.
Cedarstar and Ashrock began arguing in the middle of camp! Cedarstar's intent was to lift Ashrock's punishment; however, Ashrock hardly let the leader get a word in. In the middle of the argument, a scent caught Cedarstar's nose and he silenced Ashrock with one bark to investigate further. Cedarstar jumped up on Clanrock and his fears were confirmed by Tumblefoot and Goldberry barging through the camp entrance. Tumblefoot was shouting warning of a fire and Goldberry explained that a twoleg contraption burst into flames and the fire was spreading quickly across the Carrionplace where they had been hunting. The fire was sweeping through the territory, ShadowClan needed to evacuate the camp. Cedarstar quickly began barking orders to get cats out. Cinderspeck, Redspark, and Sandflower were selected for a patrol to scout the fire's spread. Scorchfire, Icefire, Oakstalk, Honeypaw, Vixenpaw, and Burningpaw volunteered to head out into the territory to search for and warn the patrols still out. All cats are to evacuate to Fourtrees by use of the tunnel underneath the Thunderpath marking ThunderClan's border.
Cloudscar led the first group to Fourtrees and assisted cats in crossing the Thunderpath of ThunderClan's territory, keeping an eye for ThunderClan patrols.
Ashrock, Coalpaw, Hollowpool, Smokestorm, and Frogleap assisted Snowdance and Opalmist in saving ShadowClan herbs. Ashrock passed off his herbs to Smokestorm and Hollowpool to stay behind with Cedarstar. Snowdance got separated from the group on the way to Fourtrees. She got lost in the flames, but thankfully Burningpaw and Vixenpaw found her and were able to lead her safely to Fourtrees!
Queens and their mates made sure to get their kits out of camp, some warriors escorting them (Cliffheart, Cardinalblaze, Snakesong, and Lionscorch.)
Kestrelgaze and Houndthroat escorted the apprentices out of camp. Palepaw and Whorlpaw feared for their father, Cedarstar.
Stormcloud and Kinkfire assisted in getting the elder's out. Closesky was supporting Raggedthorn, but Raggedthorn suddenly collapsed, the smoke and haunted memories getting the best of him. They had to leave his body to the flames.
Owlshadow was making sure the apprentice den was clear when the den suddenly collapsed on her! She was trapped inside! Cedarstar and Ashrock tried to tear the brambles free and save her, but they weren't fast enough. Owlshadow died in the blaze. The same thing occurred to Mosspaw and Onyxtip when they were clearing the warrior's den! Cedarstar and Ashrock tried to free them, but the den erupted in flames and the two were killed!
On the way to Fourtrees, Roseleaf collapsed from breathing in too much smoke, Quailfrost and Tumblefoot tried to urge her on, but they weren't strong enough to carry her. Remembering Ashrock was still in camp, Tumblefoot retreated to get the stronger warrior's help. He found Cedarstar and Ashrock by a blazing apprentice den and begged for their help. However, it was too late. Roseleaf died from smoke inhalation and Quailfrost was curled up beside her, suffering the same fate as she refused to leave her mother's side. Ashrock took Tumblefoot to Fourtrees while Cedarstar went back into the blaze to make sure everyone got out.
While leading Tumblefoot out of the territory, Ashrock heard a cry for help. He scared Tumblefoot into continuing to Fourtrees and turned back to the blaze to find the cat that needed him. He ended up finding Stonesong trapped by the blaze and rescued her.
While escaping camp, Cottonfur was crushed by a falling tree branch, the impact killed her.
Marshsong was helping Ratmask carry Longkit and Lightkit to safety. However, Ratmask and Lightkit got blocked by falling, flaming brambles. Marshsong rushed back to help her brother clear a path and pulled her brother along when the path was clear. However, more branches fell from the pines above their heads. Marshsong shoved her brother out of the way to save him, and took the blow for herself. The impact killed her instantly and Ratmask was left with the two kits, staring at his sister's body in shock. Thankfully, Tigerfury was nearby. He was able to carry Longkit and lead Ratmask and Lightkit to the safety of Fourtrees.
Leopardshadow and Mistsong escaped together. Mistsong had collapsed from the smoke during their flight and Leopardshadow dragged her the rest of the way to Fourtrees. By then it was too late, Mistsong had died along the way.
Shortcloud got Brittlefoot to Fourtrees by following along the thunderpath, large red, screaming, and flashing monsters roared past them.
Ribbondance, with her leg injury and age, couldn't make it out of the fire! She died from smoke inhalation.
Foxshadow got separated from her group escaping the fire. When Ferretclaw realized this, he went back into the blaze to find her. Foxshadow had gotten trapped in the flames, but Ferretclaw saved her life. When a burning branch fell from the trees above, Ferretclaw shoved Foxshadow out of the way. The impact didn't kill him as the branch wasn't of the larger variety. It did, however, burn Ferretclaw's back. Foxshadow helped Ferretclaw out of the flames, the two saving each other.
Oakstalk and Honeypaw fought through the fire in attempt to locate the patrols that were out in it. They found Lynxdapple and Morningpaw stuck in the blaze and were able to guide the pair to safety. However, on the way to Fourtrees, Honeypaw got separated from the others. Oakstalk valiantly leaped back into the fire to go save his apprentice. The two made it to Fourtrees burned, but alive!
Cedarstar ended up finding Crowfur struggling through the flames. The ShadowClan leader did his best to get Crowfur to safety, but he wasn't fast enough. Smoke infiltrated Crowfur's lungs and he suffocated in Cedarstar's grasp. Feeling like a failure, Cedarstar had to leave Crowfur's body behind.
Icefire and Scorchfire were able to locate Littlemoon's patrol of Sootwhisker and Viperpool caught within the blaze. The two senior warriors started to lead the young cats to Fourtrees when a burning tree fell upon them. Scorchfire and Icefire were separated from Littlemoon, Sootwhisker, and Viperpool, fire blocking all their exits. The two senior warriors shouted for the others to go on and they began their walk in StarClan together.
Redspark got separated from the others in her patrol. She was struck by a falling tree branch and killed. Cedarstar came to her aid too late.
While sprinting out of the forest, Viperpool was hit by a falling tree, the impact killing him. Sootwhisker ran ahead to Fourtrees, but Littlemoon was lost in shock at what occurred. With Scorchfire and Icefire already not making it out, she was shocked numb with Viperpool's death. Thankfully, Cedarstar found her frozen in place. The ShadowClan leader was able to get her to Fourtrees.
At Fourtrees, Songbreeze started kitting early due to the stress. Her mate, Lionscorch, and her father, Cliffheart were with her and they were able to get help from Opalmist when the medicine cat made it out of the firestorm; however, Songbreeze's two kits, Heartkit and Shinekit, were stillborn.
Cedarstar was the last to arrive at Fourtrees, dragging Littlemoon behind him. Upon reaching Fourtrees, Cedarstar collapsed from exhaustion, burns all over his body.
Cedarstar and Snowdance argued in the middle of camp! Snowdance wants Ashrock out of her medicine den, believing the warrior's punishment has gone on long enough! Cedarstar, however, doesn't think his brother has learned his lesson for drugging him with poppy seeds, he was too stubborn to give his brother a second chance and too paranoid that Ashrock would try something like it again. Their argument ended with Cedarstar questioning Snowdance's advice and what she knew on what it meant to be a warrior. Snowdance stormed off to go gather herbs.
Roseleaf gave birth to Falcontalon's daughter: Pearlkit!
Since Cherryvine is moving to the nursery, Oakpaw's new mentor will be Tigerfury!
Moonpetal will be Sunpaw's new mentor.
Morningpaw's mentor is Lynxdapple!
Songbreeze is expecting Lionscorch's kits!!!
Pepperpaw's mentor is Viperpool!
Talltalon and Ravenpaw have been taken by twolegs! While on a patrol with Sootwhisker and Houndthroat, the two got caught in a twoleg cage trap! Ravenpaw was lulled to the scents of food inside in and in an attempt to pull her back, Talltalon triggered the trap and both got caught inside! Sootwhisker tried to get them out, but twolegs appeared and took the mentor and apprentice away! Not knowing where Houndthroat went, Sootwhisker ran back to camp to warn the Clan. Cedarstar then had Sootwhisker lead him, Lynxdapple, and Scorchfire to the place where Talltalon and Ravenpaw were taken. On the way there, they ran into Houndthroat. The young warrior had tracked a frog away from the hunting patrol and hadn't realized what had happened.
It is a sad day in the Clan. Hazelpaw returned from a hunting patrol, dragging Oceanstorm's body. While out hunting, a tree limb snapped under the weight of the snow and landed on Oceanstorm. Hazelpaw bravely tried to dig her out, but it was too late. The Clan mourns.
Shadedpine and Eaglesight are now mates!!!
To celebrate the patrol's victory and the feast that ShadowClan will be sharing tonight, Cedarstar made Tumblepaw a warrior for his impressive catch! His warrior name is Tumblefoot!
Cedarstar and his patrol returned! They were wounded, but Cedarstar announced that they were victorious! When arriving to ThunderClan, the camp was being attacked by rogues! Without ShadowClan and WindClan, the ThunderClan cats would've lost their camp! The rogues were driven out and Lightningstar was returned to leadership when Shadeclaw admitted that he wasn't chosen by StarClan. Cedarstar and the patrol left ThunderClan afterwards, knowing that Lightningstar was in their debt.
Goldberry and Tumblepaw brought this huge vulture back to camp! Thanks to it and the prey from Gregory and Shimmer, the Clan won't go hungry tonight!
Cedarstar took Lionscorch, Shortcloud, Oakstalk, Shadedpine, and Stormfury with him to Fourtrees to assist Lightningstar in his take back of ThunderClan!
I'm changing up how I make apprentices into warriors! If you want your cat to be a warrior, they gotta earn it! I posted a notice about it on Page 615 please read it over! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!
Cedarstar and his patrol returned from WindClan! He announced that originally he, Swiftstar, and Lightningstar planned, in three days time at Sunhigh, Cedarstar will lead a patrol of five volunteers to Fourtrees to meet up with Lightningstar and a WindClan patrol. With Shadestar's current mindset, none of the leaders anticipate a fight. Shadestar won't be expecting ShadowClan to support Lightningstar, so its believed that the patrol just needs to show up and look intimidating! It is preferred that the cats who volunteer are large and intimidating. However, after the three leaders came to this conclusion. Nettlefrost of WindClan reported to them that they met Ghostscreech of ThunderClan on the border. If Ghostscreech can be trusted, Shadeclaw will attack WindClan in two days time! Cedarstar will announce who is on the patrol soon.
The day after the Gathering, Cedarstar called the Clan together. He announced that after speaking with senior warriors last night and having time to think on it himself, he has decided to offer assistance to Lightningstar in chasing the Dark Forest out of ThunderClan. If Lightningstar accepts their help, Cedarstar will lead five volunteers into what battles or assistance Lightningstar requires. Cedarstar stated that he will be taking Sootwhisker and Lynxdapple with him to WindClan to discuss things with Swiftstar and Lightningstar. In the meantime, border and hunting patrols should be going out. Cloudscar will organize them.
After the gathering patrol returned, members of the clan sat together and talked about what happened and what could happen in the future. Cedarstar called the senior warriors together to discuss the news of the Dark Forest in ThunderClan and if they should get involved.
Gathering happened 1/17/2019
Palekit, Duskkit, and Whorlkit are now apprentices! The ceremony was going well, Palepaw received Flintclaw as a mentor and Duskpaw recieved Cliffheart as a mentor. However, Cedarstar spoke that Oakstalk would be Whorlpaw's mentor, when Oakstalk was already Honeypaw's mentor! Oakstalk politely and awkwardly reminded the leader while Honeypaw made a snarky remark. Many of the Clan was shocked at their leader's blunder as well. When Cedarstar recovered from the start of his mistake, he made Stormfury Whorlpaw's mentor.
After the ceremony, Cedarstar warned the clan to watch out for falling clumps of snow! With the amount of snow we've received so far this leaf-bare, the branches of the pine trees are weighted down by many inches of snow. Any wind or light breeze could shift the branches enough that the snow upon them could come crashing down. Everyone needs to be careful!
Leaffrost has has Ratmask's kits! The birthing was difficult and very bloody. There were moments when we thought Leaffrost would be lost, but thanks to Snowdance's expert skill, Leaffrost and the kits survived. Poor Ratmask was pacing with worry for his mate the the entire time, he doesn't seem too thrilled to be a father. The kits names are Longkit, named after Ratmask's father: Longsight, and Lightkit, named after Leaffrost's mentor Lightcloud and Northstar. The former ShadowClan leader's warrior name had been Northlight.
Kinkfire was nearly hit by a monster! If it weren't for Stormcloud knocking her out of the way, she might not have survived! Both walked away without a scratch!
Cherryvine is expecting Stormfury's kits!
Eaglesight and Shadedpine got into a heated argument. Eaglesight was trying to debunk Shadedpine's fears that everyone in the Clan hated her, but he was lost his patience when she stated that she knew he hated her too. Eaglesight lashed out, snapping at her that if he didn't want to be around her, then why was he even talking to her? He claimed that she was the reason for her own misery, that her clanmates only wanted to be her friend, but she pushed everyone away, and he asked that if she hated her clanmates so much, then why did she put up with being in ShadowClan at all? Shadedpine grew greatly upset by his words. She said that life would've been better if her mother had been exiled for loving her father and having her and brother as kits. They would be loners, but at least they would be together. After that, Shadedpine left ShadowClan. Eaglesight withdrew to the warrior's den, not speaking to anyone. Spiderfang noticed the commotion from the nursery and tracked after Shadedpine. She found the she-cat hidden between two boulders near the borders. The two talked for a while, Spiderfang easing Shadedpine's fears and coaxing her to return to camp. Back at camp, Shadedpine and Eaglesight spoke again and ended up going hunting together.
New members: Sproutpaw's mentor is Cloudflight and Ravenpaw's mentor is Talltalon. Sunpaw's mentor is Darkrose.
Cedarstorm has returned with the full nine lives of a leader! StarClan hailed him with the name Cedarstar! Upon returning to camp, Cedarstar said his final good-byes to Northstar before the elders took her body away to bury her. He then jumped up on Clan Rock and announced that Cloudscar will be the next deputy of ShadowClan.
Northstar is dead. She lost her last life in camp, watching the Clan liked she loved to do. Closesky had laid with her when she'd gone. The Clan didn't find out until Cedarstorm made the announcement. The deputy appeared shaken and out of place. Falcontalon had to nudge him back to his senses. While the Clan sits vigil, Cedarstorm and Snowdance head to the moonstone.
In the morning, Snowdance and Ashrock went out to collect herbs before patrols were even sent out. While on their leafy hunt, the two were attacked by the very rogues that ambushed Coalpaw. Thankfully, Cedarstorm was leading Flintclaw, Cloudscar, Goldberry, Gregory, and Shimmer to the twoleggedplace to locate the rogues. Shimmer caught their scent and led the patrol to Snowdance and Ashrock, able to save them from the rogues. With the two rogues surrounded, Cedarstorm told the rogues to choose which of the warrior's of ShadowClan they would fight. It was time they paid the price for attacking ShadowClan cats. The rogues picked Cedarstorm and Flintclaw. It was barely a fight. Cedarstorm and Flintclaw had the rogues pinned in a few moves. Cedarstorm gave them one last warning to never come back then sent Goldberry and Cloudscar to chase them to the border. After assisting the patrol, Gregory and Shimmer headed back to their own lives in the twoleggedplace, promising to bring prey to the border later that afternoon. The patrol then came back to camp, Snowdance and Ashrock having the worst injuries. Northstar congratulated the patrol on their success and announced to the Clan that Ashrock would be remaining as Coalpaw's mentor after demonstrating his dedication to the Clan by protecting Snowdance. Patrols that head to the twoleggedplace are to be cautious and no one is to gather Gregory's and Shimmer's prey alone.
Lionscorch, Flintclaw, Stormfury, and Scorchfire led the two outsiders: Gregory and Shimmer into ShadowClan's camp. Many members of the Clan recognized Gregory from the tom assisting the Clan in the past. Cedarstorm questioned why they were brought to camp and Lionscorch recommended that Northstar be informed of their presence. The two outsiders were giving the Clan prey and could possibly know who attacked Coalpaw. Cedarstorm lashed his tail and fetched Northstar. The ShadowClan leader was cool and calm in greeting Gregory and Shimmer. When they explained their reason for being there, Lionscorch explained that it had been Stormfury that admitted to helping the outsiders with Coalpaw at his side and continuously going back for the prey they caught. Northstar asked Stormfury for his side of the story and Stormfury explained that he led Coalpaw to the outsiders and helped them in exchange for prey, he didn't think anyone would get hurt out of it. Northstar warned him that if Coalpaw had been going out to fetch the outsiders' prey on his own, his wounds could be on Stormfury's paws. Northstar entered the medicine den to confirm Stormfury's story by asking Coalpaw what happened. Coalpaw told the truth and admitted that he and Stormfury had helped the outsiders for prey in exchange. When Northstar returned from the medicine den, Cedarstorm stepped up to admit to the Clan that helping Gregory and Shimmer was his idea all along. Stormfury and Coalpaw were just following his orders. Needless to say, many in the Clan weren't too happy about their deputy's confession. Northstar asked Stormfury why the former WindClan tom was willing to take the blame for Cedarstorm and when Stormfury admitted his support to the deputy, Northstar agreed with him. The ShadowClan leader used this moment to teach the lesson of communication to the whole the Clan--there couldn't be secrets among them or the Clan would surely fall. Had Cedarstorm, Stormfury, or Coalpaw informed the Clan of the outsiders' prey, Coalpaw wouldn't have been fetching it by himself. Northstar then declared that ShadowClan will continue to accept prey from Gregory and Shimmer as it was owed to them for Cedarstorm, Stormfury, and Coalpaw assisting the two. Many of the Clan isn't too happy about it. Northstar ordered that they would go after the rogues that attacked Coalpaw the next day.
Lionscorch led Scorchfire, Flintclaw, and Stormfury to the twoleggedplace border to make sure that the rogues that attacked Coalpaw were long gone. However, the patrol ended up finding two kittypets trying to stuff two sparrows and three mice under a pile of rocks. The patrol surrounded the two, Stormfury keeping back. The two trespassers were a loner named Gregory and a kittypet named Shimmer. They appeared shocked to find the ShadowClan patrol hostile and when asked why they were there, the two stumbled over their words--occasionally glancing at Stormfury. Eventually, Stormfury admitted that he assisted Gregory and Shimmer and in return for his help, the two were catching prey and leaving it there for him. Lionscorch questioned why Stormfury didn't speak up right away, saying that they could've easily mistaken these two loners as the rogues that attacked Coalpaw. At the mention of Coalpaw, Shimmer spoke out, inquiring if the apprentice was alright while Gregory admitted that he had given Coalpaw a few training sessions after being questioned. Stormfury took the blame, stating that he was the one who was taking Coalpaw out for training when they stumbled across Gregory and Shimmer. The warriors of the patrol frequently scolded Stormfury for bringing a young apprentice out here all alone to meet with foreign cats. When Lionscorch asked Gregory and Shimmer about the last time they saw Coalpaw, they replied with a few sunrises ago--the day Coalpaw was attacked. Stormfury then asked if they knew who could have done it, and Shimmer claimed that she could recognize their scents if they came across them. Stormfury wanted to use the two to locate the rogues, but Flintclaw voiced his doubts, claiming that neither could be trusted, and they should be brought back to camp. It was agreed that they would bring the trespassers and the prey back to camp and confirm Stormfury's story with Coalpaw.
Robinpaw and Foxpaw are now warriors! Their warriors names are Robinflight and Foxshadow!
Ratmask and Leaffrost will be staying in the elder's den! With how harsh the leaf-bare has gotten, the cold is effecting Ratmask greatly--the skinny warrior has little to no fur. Leaffrost usually keeps him warm with her thick, long fur, but as she is expecting kits, she had to move to the nursery, leaving Ratmask without her. Ratmask can't move to the nursery as it is already overcrowded. As a compromise, when Leaffrost told him of the situation, Cedarstorm moved the queen and fur-less warrior to the elder's den where Leaffrost can keep Ratmask warm without getting in the way of the warriors. They will remain there until the weather warms up. As an addition, Cedarstorm ordered Ratmask to remain within the walls of camp where the territory was the warmest. He wouldn't partake in any patrols, but instead help around the camp. Cedarstorm also wants Snowdance to keep an eye on Ratmask to make sure he doesn't catch an illness that could spread to the rest of the Clan. Needless to say, Ratmask isn't happy about it.
Northstar called the Clan together to discuss the actions of Ashrock! Ashrock claimed he was only putting poppy seeds in Cedarstorm's prey for the sake of the Clan! Claiming that Cedarstorm wasn't worthy enough to be ShadowClan's deputy, but Northstar stated that he not only disrespected her, but the warrior code as well. What Ashrock thought was best for the Clan was wrong in her eyes. When Ashrock continued to argue, Northstar asked the Clan who would support Ashrock as deputy of ShadowClan. No one voiced their support for him. Northstar told the warrior that he had much to learn if he was ever going to be considered for the deputy position. In the middle of the meeting, Goldberry's patrol returned with Coalpaw. The young apprentice was covered in his own blood. The scent of rogues washed the territory where the patrol found him. The young apprentice had gone to the border by the twoleggedplace all by himself. It's suspected that he was catching prey when the rogues ambushed him to take the prey from him. Cedarstorm led Stonesong, Nightfall, and Cardinalblaze to that border to make sure the rogues were out of the territory. When Ashrock was questioned as to why Coalpaw was out by himself, the mentor stated he believed Coalpaw was doing his chores that day. Burningpaw commented that Coalpaw had been doing chores an awful lot lately, and Honeypaw argued that Ashrock had been neglecting training his apprentice. There aren't many cats in the Clan that are too happy with Ashrock right now. As punishment for his actions, Ashrock is to help Snowdance and Opalmist with their medicine cat duties until Snowdance and Cedarstorm decide he's payed enough. Ashrock is to also tend to Coalpaw's wounds and help his apprentice recover. Goldberry requested that Northstar assign a new mentor for Coalpaw, but Northstar has yet to decide.
Stormfury interrupted a meal that Ashrock and Cedarstorm were going to share, warning the deputy not to eat the prey Ashrock offered, saying it doused with poppy seeds. Needless to say, the deputy didn't quite believe Stormfury's claim, but the former WindClan warrior explained his concerns, stating how he saw Ashrock tampering with the prey Cedarstorm was going to eat. More members of the Clan that overheard the commotion padded over, listening to Stormfury's claim and Ashrock's defense. Many believed Ashrock wouldn't do such a thing to his brother while others saw logic in Stormfury's claim. Eventually, as a way to provide proof, Stormfury admitted that he suspected that Ashrock was hiding poppy pods in the long fur on his chest. Although Cedarstorm didn't believe any cat could do such a thing, he swiped his paw at his brother's chest fur and a poppy pod fell out of it.
Ashrock was labeled a traitor by many of the younger warriors, and received looks of disappointment from many of the older warriors. Cedarstorm was lost for words in his shock. Yet, Ashrock felt no guilt. He told the Clan that he was had been putting poppy seeds in Cedarstorm's prey for the sake of ShadowClan. He declared that Cedarstorm was too weak to be their deputy, too unsure of himself, and stated time and time again that Cedarstorm didn't even want to be deputy. No one would believe him.
It was around this time that Goldberry realized that his son, Ashrock's apprentice: Coalpaw was missing. Ashrock claimed the apprentice should be doing chores, but he was nowhere in camp. When Ashrock tried to go find him, Cedarstorm silenced his brother and instead sent Goldberry, Nightfall, Oakstalk, and Honeypaw to find the apprentice. Stormfury and Cloudscar were ordered by Cedarstorm to keep an eye on Ashrock and move the gray warrior to the prisoner den. Cedarstorm then went to speak with Northstar.
Coalpaw returned to camp after slipping out on his own with quite a few pieces of prey in his jaws! No one saw when left, but thanks to the prey he had, the queens won't go hungry!
Once again, Cedarstorm slept in and missed sending out the morning patrols. Thankfully, Ashrock stepped up to cover them. However, the Clan is starting to worry about the deputy sleeping in so much. Stormfury confronted Ashrock about him taking over the deputy's duties, but Ashrock only downgraded Stormfury, threatening that if he had his way, Stormfury would be out of the Clan. However, Stormfury remained calm, questioning why Ashrock wasn't waking Cedarstorm to help him with his duties instead of playing deputy. The argument slowly escalated and other members of the Clan even chimed in. Ashrock argued that Cedarstorm had never wanted to be deputy and was probably trying to demote himself. Stormfury rebutted by stating that Cedarstorm had been devastated the last time he slept in and no one but him, ShadowClan's designated rabbit-chaser, had bothered to wake the deputy. Other clanmates voiced their opinions, many unsure about Cedarstorm's level of dedication as deputy while others claimed that none were more dedicated than Cedarstorm. Ashrock pushed to get patrols back out, but Stormfury refused to be a part of them. The argument disbanded with both sides bristling. Ashrock finished getting patrols out, not assigning Stormfury to any of them. All the while this happened, Northstar watched from just outside her den, eyes narrowed in contemplation.
Cedarstorm returned late to the camp with Stormfury and Coalpaw. The three had been gone all day, they even missed Lunarlight's ceremony! When asked what they had been doing, the patrol was very vague; however, they did bring back quite a bit of prey. No one would go hungry tonight!
Lunarpaw is now a warrior! Her warrior name is Lunarlight!
Patrols almost didn't make it out one morning (12/5/18)! Cedarstorm overslept! If it hadn't been for Ashrock, dawn patrols might not have gone out at all! The borders wouldn't have been refreshed and early morning prey would've slipped through our claws! Prey is already scarce! We need to make sure we seize every opportunity!
The Clan is a little tense after Hollowpool's injury, but Snowdance says that the she-cat will physically recover. Frogleap is beside himself with guilt, Oakstalk is guarding his feelings, distracting himself from his daughter's injuries. The rest of the Clan is concerned. Ashrock, again, took the liberty of sending out patrols for Cedarstorm when he realized the deputy was distracted in a conversation with Cloudscar, he was one of the last to realize what happened to Hollowpool. Many border and hunting patrols went out. Good news is that Honeypaw and Oakstalk are actually kinda maybe getting along. Cardinalblaze took Stormfury out for some sparring practice.
Hollowpool has been hit by a monster!!! While out on a border patrol with Frogleap, Hollowpool chased a squirrel onto the thunderpath. She didn't see the monster coming! Frogleap dragged her off, but couldn't get her back to camp alone. Thankfully, Cardinalblaze was nearby! He heard Frogleap's cries for help and the two brought her back to camp to see Snowdance and Opalmist right away!
Hiddendream and Viperpool are mates! However, Talltalon is bitter toward Viperpool, blaming the tom for the death of his sister, and Viperpool's former mate: Finchflight.
In the middle of camp, Ashrock took over the deputy's duties. While Cedarstorm was out working with Stormfury, Ashrock sent out patrols to the borders and out hunting as well as assigning cats to reinforce dens and help the medicine cats. When Cedarstorm returned, Ashrock had finished all the deputy's duties and told him he could go back to "training his rabbit." Not knowing what else to do, Cedarstorm returned to where Stormfury was training the apprentices. Patrols that went out discussed among-st themselves the behavior of the two brothers.
Cedarstorm snagged Stormfury bright and early to teach him the tail signals at the Burnt Sycamore. Once Stormfury said he believed he knew them all, Cedarstorm told him to wait there. The deputy returned with Honeypaw, Coalpaw, Lunarpaw, Robinpaw, Tumblepaw, Burningpaw, and Hollypaw and announced that Stormfury would be teaching them the tail signals and running them through a few exercises. Then, Cedarstorm left. After a moment of disbelief, Stormfury gathered himself and began running through the signals to the apprentices, answering questions, before splitting them into two patrols to practice signaling to each other.
After the warrior ceremony, Cedarstorm began sending out night patrols. Talltalon to take a patrol to the ThunderClan and SkyClan borders, Pinefeather and Sandflower to lead hunting patrols while Cedarstorm himself led a border patrol to WindClan. Before any of the patrols left, Stormfury (formerly of WindClan) stepped forward and asked to be a part of the patrols. Cedarstorm scoffed at him, saying that Stormfury wouldn't be able to stay awake. When Stormfury insisted, Cedarstorm put the former WindClan warrior on his own patrol to WindClan where the deputy could keep an eye on him, Cardinalblaze, Vixenpaw, and Ferretclaw going with. Cedarstorm tested Stormfury's knowledge of the ShadowClan tail signals while on the patrol. At the border, the patrol spotted Breezefoot, Cheetahheart, Grasslight, Silverspirit, and Crowfrost of WindClan on a patrol of their own. Yet, the patrol wasn't there to refresh their scent markers. At first, the ShadowClan patrol just watched them from the shadows of our territory, but Cedarstorm then called out to them, inquiring why they were up so late. Breezepelt informed them that they were simply searching for a fox scent and refreshing the borders. At the sight of Stormfury, WindClan made a few rude comments. Cedarstorm snapped at them when they insulted ShadowClan, but not when they bad talked Stormfury. The deputy told the WindClan warriors that they walked up with a civil conversation in mind and WindClan was just stirring up their own trouble. When the rabbit-chasers bitterly spoke back. Cedarstorm made the comment that the fox WindClan was chasing wasn't along the ShadowClan border, so the longer they stuck around the border, the more their fox could cause more damage somewhere else. WindClan then left. Once out of earshot of the WindClan cats, Cedarstorm scolded Stormfury. The two ended up getting into a heated argument, Stormfury defending himself on how he was trying to learn ShadowClan's way, but Cedarstorm wouldn't hear him. They ended up storming back to camp.
Houndpaw, Gingerpaw, and Spicepaw are now warriors! Houndpaw's warrior name is Houndthroat! Gingerpaw's warrior name is Gingerstripe! Spicepaw's warrior name is Spicefang!
Northstar and Stormfury had a nice stroll around the territory. Northstar eased the former WindClan tom's worries, he caught a frog, and Northstar showed him the Thunderpath tunnel under ThunderClan.

Leaffrost is expecting Ratmask's kits! However, Ratmask doesn't seem to thrilled about it.
A twoleg and their dog entered our territory! Bumbling around like they were lost, they ran into Lynxdapple, Snakesong, and Kinkfire while they were gathering moss. Lynxdapple and Kinkfire distracted the dog and its twoleg while Snakesong ran back to warn the camp. Cedarstorm, Mistsong, and Lionscorch ran out of the camp to go assist Lynxdapple and Kinkfire. They led the intruders to the carrionplace to leave the twoleg at the border. At the carrion place, the patrols split to lose the dog and it ended up following Kinkfire. However, Kinkfire was growing fatigued from running and the dog began gaining ground on her. It not for Stormcloud, Kinkfire would've been caught! The brave warrior swiped at the canine, drawing its attention away that Kinkfire could flee safely! When the twoleg recognized where it was, it dragged the dog away, leaving the territory!
Aurablaze passed away. Surrounded by her precious kits: Moonpetal, Marshsong, and Ratmask. The elder found peace in reconciling with her son. Aurablaze was Northstar's first apprentice and deputy. She had stepped down when she took an adder bite. Though she survived the bite, it took away her vision. Aurablaze mated Longsight and had his kits: Pouncefire, Moonpetal, Marshsong, and Ratmask. She served the Clan as warrior, deputy, queen, and elder. She will be dearly missed.

They went to her den to talk. Owlshadow stayed with Cliffheart's body. Songbreeze told Northstar of Adderstar's blood payment. Cliffheart paid it for their sake. Northstar wasn't happy to find out Cliffheart was in the Dark Forest. Songbreeze blamed herself and Northstar scolded her to honor Cliffheart's sacrifice. Songbreeze decided she refused to give up. StarClan may have given up on Cliffheart, but she would still fight for him.
Pg 281 Cliffheart lays peacefully in his nest with blood oozing from his neck.
After his meal with Owlshadow, Cliffheart got up and padded to the warrior's den. He took one, long look around the camp. He then found his nest and laid down in it. His hope was the Clan would think he found peace in StarClan when they found him. He closed his eyes and submitted to the Darkness. (pg 279)
Swirlheart reassured Goldberry that he didn't fail any of his kits.
Ratmask and Leaffrost met Northstar in her den. They reminded her that Lyxndapple's kits needed to be made apprentices by telling her how Ratmask was with Lilykit. Leaffrost let it slip that she wanted kits of her own and Ratmask was not ready for that.
Ratmask and Leaffrost approached Lionscorch when they realized the tom was not alright. Ratmask was super sassy to his mate's brother. Lionscorch "needed to train." He was "running out of time," Ratmask called him out on it, saying he couldn't face the whole Dark Forest on his own. Lionscorch snapped and about lunged Ratmask, but Leaffrost put herself between them. Lionscorch snapped for them to stay out of this, but Ratmask warned him if Lionscorch kept up his brooding, and skipping patrols for training sessions, then the Clan would get suspicious and the secret he was trying to keep for Songerbreeze would be out faster than a rabbit on the moorlands. The argument continued. Lionscorch ended up storming off, willing to take his chances to solve his mate's problems. Ratmask and Leaffrost decided to trust Cliffheart knew what he was doing. They then decided to help Northstar remember to make apprentices and other ceremonies since her mind is still lacking. (pg 276)
Owlshadow approached Cliffheart, asking what was going on with him and their kits. He licked her cheek and said everything was alright. They shared a frog together. Eaglesight told Hiddendream what was going on with their family. She didn't take it well.
Scorchfire talked to Poppypaw about her training. He ended up taking her out on a hunting patrol, but Ambershade of the Dark Forest was whispering in her ear.
Clan Life: Russetshade and Flintclaw went for a walk. Russetshade complained about Roseleaf's and Goldberry's arguing. Frogpaw was bummed after a training session with Houndpaw, so Hollowpaw helped cheer him back up by showing him the rat she caught. He admitted to her that his training session didn't go well. He couldn't beat Houndpaw in a spar and he doubts he could even beat Tumblepaw. Ratmask and Leaffrost cuddled. Kinkfire and Stormcloud talked about the lack of prey in the territory.
Cliffheart paused in camp to give it one last look. Ratmask noticed. He discussed it with Leaffrost until Lilykit interrupted their talk. Ratmask did her furture mentor a favor by correcting her pouncing technique. (pg 274)
Snakesong is realizing she has feelings growing for Smokestorm, but he doesn't notice.
Eaglesight and Cliffheart spoke with Songbreeze. They walked to the carrionplace where they wouldn't be overheard. Eaglesight explained how Adderstar pulled him and Smokestorm into the Dark Forest demanding blood for Cliffheart's and Songbreeze's betrayal and how Adderstar was willing to forgive Songbreeze if Cliffheart payed the blood price. Cliffheart strictly told his kits they weren't allowed to return to the Dark Forest. Songbreeze and Eaglesight tried to argue, but Cliffheart firmly insisted he'd take care of the problem. He told them they had full lives ahead of them and that StarClan smiles on both of them. He refused to let the Dark Forest take his kits away from him like it did everything else. Cliffheart asked his kits to keep living their lives for him. To be happy and live the life he was never allowed. Songbreeze apologized constantly and Cliffheart told her it was going to be okay. He left them to return to camp and Songbreeze and Eaglesight looked for Smokestorm and Hiddendream.
Cedarstorm got a patrol together.
Russetshade admitted to Flintclaw that she feels quite bloated in her pregnancy.
Smokestorm criticized Snakesong's hunting attempt while he was walking and thinking about what his sister did in the Dark Forest. He walked off and she followed him, asking about what was on his mind. He was a little rude. She asked for hunting advice. He was still rude. They hunted anyway.
Closesky visited the nursery. He and Spiderfang talked about how it took Closesky forever to have kits of his own when Cedarstorm, Ashrock, and Kinkfire were born.
Swirlheart's kits played in the nursery. Roseleaf and other warriors glared them down. Honeykit is starting to take notice. Goldberry stood up to Roseleaf. The permanent queen has never been bitter toward kits; however, Goldberry's are apparently different just because they're Goldberry's. The conversation blew up. Read it here: Pg269
Brittlefoot encouraged his sister Snakesong to socialize by eating with and talking with Kestrelgaze and Stonesong. Kestrelgaze was nicer about it than Stonesong. They talked about a patrol that had trouble with ThunderClan that Snowdance had to break up. (pg 266)
Littlemoon was depressed, Lynxdapple came over to comfort her, but she wouldn't say what was wrong. They went hunting, but Littlemoon was very clumsy throughout.

Russetshade showed hostility to Goldberry. Ratmask proudly led a confused Tumblepaw back to camp, he had been helping Tumblepaw while Goldberry was busy. Goldberry took his apprentice back for battle training. Ratmask and Leaffrost then looked for Northstar. They talked with her in her den.
Crowfur's cough has returned harsher than normal.
Oakstalk and Ribbondance went for a stroll. Thistlepaw teased Hollowpaw. Spiderfang talked to Mouseclaw about how many kits they might have this time around. Lionscorch asked Onyxtip to spar with him to help distract him. Lynxdapple and Raccoonmask talked about Goldberry and Roseleaf and Grizzleyheart (pg 260).
Eaglesight interrupted Lionscorch's and Songbreeze's quality time so they could tell Cliffheart what happened. Songbreeze went with him.
Houndpaw picked on Tumblepaw. Ratmask and Leaffrost gossiped. They plotted about distracted Closesky so they could spy on Northstar. (pg 257)
Cloudflight and Cardinalblaze hunted together.
Songbreeze has been depressed in the warrior's den since the day she spoke to her brothers in the territory. Lionscorch has been trying to cheer her up. She's not even eating. She claims Lionscorch and the Clan would be better off without her. Lionscorch admitted to overhearing her talk with her brothers. She claims she won't let her family suffer because she's too weak. She told him he shouldn't love her or trust her. He stood up for his love for her and asked if she regretted becoming his mate. She said she didn't regret it, but that she also doesn't deserve him. Lionscorch fought for them, wishing he could take away her burdens. He'd fight the Dark Forest for her, but Songbreeze didn't want him putting himself in harms way for her sake. He asked her what the dangers were. She was too upset to talk about it. He pushed and she claimed everything that happened was because she was weak and small. She stated she shouldn't have lived. Lionscorch told her what impact she had on him.
Pinefeather and Cloudscar went hunting.
Goldberry told his kits a story before bringing them out of the nursery for the first time. They played with Raccoonmask while Quailsong and Roseleaf glared from afar.
Shortcloud is playing hard to get with Brittlefoot (pg 251)
Leaffrost and Stormfury hung out. Leaffrost called him her friend. She asked if he really attacked his clanmate in WindClan. He admitted to it, but stated that his old clanmate deserved it. Leaffrost tried to pry more, but Stormfury wouldn't out "WindClan business." Leaffrost pressed and Stormfury stated his family wasn't in ShadowClan. He called ShadowClan his home, but not his family. Leaffrost stated they didn't need family anymore, just loyal clanmates who have each other's backs. Stormfury insisted he had her back if she needed him. They decided to go hunting, but Stormfury isn't allowed to leave camp without Cloudscar or Oakstalk. They went anyway. Stormfury asked Leaffrost her story. They talked about family, lessons learned, and friends. Leaffrost taught him the traits of ShadowClan and the importance of gossip. She showed him the carrionplace.
Kestrelgaze and Jaysong are now mates!
Honeykit and Coalkit caused trouble in the nursery. Goldberry scolded them, then they wondered genetics with all their curled ears and short tails, before Goldberry and Swirlheart discussed their situation. They decided ShadowClan is the safest place for them.
Cloudflight and Cardinalblaze are now mates!
Flintclaw teased Russetshade about her fat, prego belly. Cloudflight and Cardinalblaze hunted. Lynxdapple took out a border patrol.
Goldberry started on Tumblepaw's training right away. Ratmask and Leaffrost welcomed themselves to their training session. Tumblepaw was overwhelmed and unsure if he'd learn everyone's name. They started with the warrior code.
Northstar addressed the Clan! She explained that while on patrol, she, Spiderfang, and Cliffheart overheard Goldberry and Swirlheart getting attacked by a dog in twoleggedplace. The attack caused Swirlheart to kit early and had they not acted, only StarClan knows what would've happened. Northstar stated she refused to see innocent kits raised in the streets of the twoleggedplace, so she brought Goldberry and Swirlheart back. She said that for their kits' sake, Goldberry and Swirlheart will prove their alliegance to ShadowClan. And to help prove Goldberry's loyalty, Northstar brought forward the young tom they brought back from the twoleggedplace. His name is Tumble. She renamed him Tumblepaw and gave him to Goldberry to mentor. Safe to say, the Clan was divided on their opinions of Goldberry's return. No one cheered for Tumblepaw or Goldberry. Northstar dismissed the Clan.
Lilykit snuck into the warriors den and annoyed Flintclaw. Lynxdapple came and got her.
Cardinalblaze confided his feelings about Goldberry's return to Cloudflight.
Spiderfang is expecting Mouseclaw's kits, again!
Kestrelgaze and Jaysong spent time together. Swirlheart's kits, Honeykit, Coalkit, and Crystalkit continue to get stronger. Goldberry is healing up well in the medicine den. Opalmist gave him permission to walk around camp. He visited Swirlheart and his kits. Crystalkit opened her eyes.
Pinefeather expressed her frustrations with being out of practice with hunting to Lynxdapple due to having her kits.
Brittlefoot spent time with Shortcloud, getting her to finally open up to him a little.
Frozen created Cinderspeck. He almost ran into Spiderfang and got scared of her.
Northstar, Spiderfang, and Cliffheart have returned and they've returned with Goldberry, Swirlheart, three kits, and a young tom! They ran into Ashrock and Emberlight and the two helped all of them back to camp. Goldberry is injured. Their return brought a lot of commotion to the camp. Cliffheart took Goldberry to the medicine den while Spiderfang helped Swirlheart and the kits to the nursery. Roseleaf met the patrol with hostility. Northstar explained that they discovered a dog attacking Goldberry and Swirlheart. The stress caused Swirlheart to kit early. Northstar ordered for Roseleaf to take care of the kits. Roseleaf was still hostile about it. One of the kits, Crystalkit, wasn't nursing, Roseleaf helped. Snowdance and Opalmist took good care of the whole patrol. Goldberry being back brought a lot of conflict to the cats of the Clan. Brittlefoot and Shortcloud talked about how Shortcloud saved Sandflower by attacking Goldberry when the tom was possessed. Quailsong and Oakstalk were furious. Others didn't know what to think.
Cedarstorm and Ashrock forced Emberlight on patrol since he's been wasting the day away.
Lilykit and Vixenkit played together.
Aurablaze wanted to speak with Ratmask. He was very rude and sarcastic to her, but she tried to apologize for the way she's been acting toward him. She wished she was a better mother toward him. Ratmask told her it was little late. He walked off. Closesky heard the conversation and sat with Aurablaze. He reassured her that Ratmask would come around, but she didn't believe him.
Cardinalblaze pulled his sisters, Quailsong and Raccoonmask, out of camp to chat. The three siblings used to be so close, but Quailsong blames Raccoonmask for taking Goldberry, "the traitor's," side. Cardinalblaze did his best to bring his sisters back together, none of what happened was there fault. They should respect each other. Raccoonmask won't let anyone slander Goldberry's name, but Quailsong claimed to slander it all she wants. It was tearing Cardinalblaze apart seeing his sisters like this. He snapped a little and his sisters apologized. They decided to focus on each other instead of who their parents are. They went on patrol together.
After her conversation with her brothers, Songbreeze had a panic attack in the middle of the territory. Lionscorch found her and calmed her down.

Smokestorm work Eaglesight in the dead of night to talk about something. They spoke softly of finding out the truth from Songbreeze. Ratmask and Leaffrost followed them without their knowledge. Eaglesight and Smokestorm called for Songbreeze. They found her with Lionscorch. They asked to speak with her in private. She agreed, but asked that her brothers be more accepting of Lionscorch. Eaglesight and Smokestorm admitted to their sister that they've been dragged to the Dark Forest the past couple of nights and chased by the dead cats down there. They saw Adderstar and were told by Adderstar that Songbreeze trained in the Dark Forest, she betrayed them, and Cliffheart killed Creeksplash's spirit. The Dark Forest demands payment for the blood spilt. They wanted to hear it from Songbreeze that the Dark Forest wasn't lying. Smokestorm had a hard time believing his little sister would go to the Dark Forest. Songbreeze explained she trained there and Cliffheart rescued her. They had three days to pay Adderstar's blood payment. Songbreeze thought her brothers hated her for what she did, but Eaglesight reassured her. Her brothers explained that Adderstar wanted her blood and Cliffheart's blood for what happened; however, he would forgive Songbreeze's betrayal if Cliffheart walked the Dark Forest once again. They decided to tell Cliffheart and Northstar about it. Lionscorch, Ratmask, and Leaffrost overheard the entire conversation. Songbreeze cried that this was her mistake. Her's to fix, but Eaglesight swatted at her, scolding her that family sticks together. The brothers departed.
Out of camp, Songbreeze admits her nightmare to Lionscorch. A nightmare where she followed the Dark Forest's commands. He tries to reassure her.
Clan life: Lionscorch eased another of Songbreeze's nightmares, they went hunting for the largest frog in the territory. Cottonfur and Crowfur cuddled. Jaysong and Kestrelgaze hung out.

Cardinalblaze talked with Falcontalon about how the fears the Clan is going to think he'll end up like Goldberry. Falontalon reassured him, saying he and Roseleaf raised him, not Goldberry, so how could he end up like Goldberry?
Clan life: Spiderfang startled Mouseclaw. Cedarstorm hung out with Starrylight in the nursery. Mistyflower and Cloudscar talked. Oakstalk and Ribbondance cuddled.
Russetshade isn't feeling too good. Flintclaw made her go see Snowdance. She's expecting kits!

Pg 205 Cedarstorm gave Northstar a report about something (not sure what). Northstar called the Clan together for a meeting, she struggled to get up on Clan Rock, though.
Spiderfang expressed concern for Northstar to Closesky. Saying Northstar believed Ratmask's former mentor was alive, she exiled a cat she defended...Spiderfang fears something is wrong.

Lionscorch is too tall for the warriors den
Stormfury was sulking the corner so Ratmask called him out on it, asking if this is how he thanks a Clan for helping him, then perhaps Swiftstar was right to exile him. Stormfury claimed he was a better WindClan cat than Ratmask could ever hope to be and is a better ShadowClan cat than Ratmask could ever hope to be. Ratmask doubtfully scoffed, calling Stormfury a 'rabbit-face' and claiming that since Stormfury was hiding in the corner, he wasn't proving anything. Stormfury challenged Ratmask to go hunting with him. Ratmask called him a "WindClan windbag" and agreed. Leaffrost joined them. Stormfury wasn't a terrible hunter, but he made a catch. He also made a lot of noise. Ratmask told him if he wanted to make a mark in ShadowClan, he'd have to something others wouldn't expect. Leaffrost reassured that she was sure Stormfury would impress the Clan. Despite how they went about, Leaffrost and Ratmask were only trying to help Stormfury. They challenged him to catch an adder.Cardinalpaw and Cloudflight discussed the lack of prey in the territory and how cool it would be if Cardinalpaw got his warrior name so the two could share a den again.Page 200

2/8/17 Spiderfang, Lightcloud, and Scorchfire completed Ratpaw's and Leafpaw's final assessments!

She told Spiderfang to let Loneraven and Lightcloud know to complete their assessments as quickly as possible. Spiderfang had to remind Northstar that she took over Ratmask's training after Loneraven died. Northstar quickly dismissed Spiderfang, snapping at her to just get the assessments done.
2/2/17 Stormfury of WindClan wandered into ShadowClan territory. Cliffheart, Oakstalk, Kinkfire, and Kestrelgaze found him. Stormfury requested to speak with Northstar, which the patrol grants. Kinkfire warned him if he didn't want trouble, he should have waited for them at the border instead of tresspassing. Northstar met him in the middle of camp under the eyes of the Clan. She asked what he wanted. Stormfury explained he was banished unjustly from WindClan after a clanmate attacked him. Northstar requested further explanation which Stormfury provided. Kinkfire voices he should be turned away. Oakstalk claims Stormfury is a good warrior and could be useful to ShadowClan. Spiderfang agrees with him. Brittlefoot claimed Stormfury was untrustworthy. Sandflower ushers her kits into the nursery and sides with Kinkfire. Northstar silenced the Clan and asked Stormfury why he came to ShadowClan. He avoids the question, claiming he had nowhere else to go and if Northstar wouldn't accept him as a warrior, then she could take him as a prisoner. Intrigued, Northstar allows him to stay as long as he is with Oakstalk or Cloudscar at all times. He is allowed to hunt, but not be on border patrols due to his different scent. Nortshtar told Stormfury to remember this kindness that ShadowClan offered him. (page 172)
1/25/17-1/21/17 Clan Life: Crowfur and Cottonfur played with Lunarkit. Crowfur is very tired afterwards as he's still coughing from the sickness.

Songbreeze brought up her time in the Dark Forest, fearing she could have ended up like Goldberry if not for Lionscorch and Cliffheart.
1/21/17 Closesky pleaded with Northstar to remember Goldberry was possessed. Northstar fought back and stated the Dark Forest isn't strong enough to possess a cat like that. Closesky argued that with Adderstar and Robinstar in their ranks, they could. Northstar growled that if she ever saw Adderstar again, she'd kill him. Closesky had to remind her Adderstar is dead and that something is wrong with her mind. He pleaded for Northstar to keep her advisors close and not act out of emotion. Northstar dismissed him with the firm reminder that she is leader and will do what she thinks is right. (pg 165)

She threatened to banish Raccoonpaw as well if the young apprentice would like to choose Goldberry over her Clan.

In a moment of confusion, she charged him and threw him to the ground, demanding why he was in camp after she banished him. The Clan watched in horror. Closesky tried to calm Northstar down. Goldberry stammered out what happened at the Moonstone. Lynxdapple and Spiderfang fought for him to stay while Oakstalk smirked in the hope that Northstar would exile him again. Northstar proclaimed that Goldberry was banished once more for the murders of Sprucewing and Talonfury. Swirlheart stepped up and threatened to leave ShadowClan if Goldberry was banished, but Northstar wasn't having it. Both Goldberry and Swirlheart left the Clan. Northstar ordered Oakstalk to take a patrol and make sure the two "traitors" left the territory. Oakstalk takes Cliffheart and Brittlefoot. Brittlefoot supported Northstar's decision. Raccoonpaw cried and Cardinalpaw tried to comfort her.
1/5/17 Leafpaw and Ratpaw hunted at the SkyClan border. Once back at camp, Ratpaw stated he felt good enough to train again. So, he woke up Spiderfang. Spiderfang threatened to slice his ears off if he ever did that again, but she takes him out training anyway with Leafpaw following behind.
1/4/17 Northstar asks Spiderfang how Ratpaw's training is coming along. Spiderfang reports that Ratpaw's hunting is excellent, but he's a poor fighter despite his determination to improve. Spiderfang states she'll not give up on Ratpaw and thanked Northstar for the oppertunity to train again after she couldn't complete the training of her former apprentices.

1/4/17 Leafpaw visited Northstar and relayed that Ratpaw has been feeling much better.

Deadpaw eventually lets him take the bird due to Ratpaw threatening on telling Spiritstar. Spiderfang then finds Ratpaw at the border and scolds him for being out alone. They go back to camp.
12/6/16 Crowfur has contracted the illness!
12/3/16 Goldberry and Swirlheart are now mates!
12/3/16 Vinemask has contracted the illness!
12/2/16 Mistyflower and Snowdance go check on Brightmask together. The elder's illness grew worse and Brightmask requests Mistyflower find her kits and Ratpaw. Mistyflower runs to retrieve them while Snowdance does everything she can for Brightmask. Ratpaw, Jaysong, Tigerfury, and Littlemoon rush to Brightmask's side. Brightmask tells Ratpaw that Aurablaze loves him despite how she acts and she tells him that she loves him. Brightmask passed on to StarClan.
12/2/16 Closesky and Spiderfang discuss Northstar's illness. Closesky blames Ratpaw for bringing the illness to the Clan. Meanwhile, Ratpaw attempts to leave the medicine den with Leafpaw's support.
11/30/16 Shademoon urges Pinefeather to sleep for the queen had been up all night worried about Foxkit. Pinefeather worried if she closed her eyes, Foxkit would die.
11/29/16 Cloudscar tells Mistyflower he and Swallowfeather are having more kits. He worries they shouldn't be mates anymore as the risks are too high.
Bumbleskip and Redfrost adopted Blackkit.
Cloudscar talked to Mistyflower about what happened between him and Northstar.
Snowdance and Leafpaw had a heartfelt chat about Ratpaw.
Trouble with Foxkit! She's not nursing and she can't get warm. Snowdance is doing all she can!
Leafpaw asked Hollowpaw to spar and Hollowpaw said she'd only do it if Leafpaw left Ferretpaw alone. Leafpaw agreed. Hollowpaw ended up accidentally giving Leafpaw a bloody nose.
A vigil was held for Grizzleyheart.
Northstar summoned Cloudscar to her den once again. She said she caught was Swiftstar said at the gathering about Swallowfeather and asked Cloudscar if the kits were his. Cloudscar looked very confused and asked if Northstar was okay. She told him not to change the subject. So, Cloudscar lied and told her Swallowfeather's newborn kits weren't his. Northstar was glad to hear it and she thanked Cloudscar for ending things with Swallowfeather. Cloudscar swore he wouldn't let Northstar down. Northstar was confused by that, but didn't question him. Cloudscar departed from her den.
Pinefeather had Shademoon's kits! Foxkit and Robinkit!
Grizzleyheart passed away to the illness spreading the camp. He died with Goldbery his side. Northstar was there to console him. Lynxdapple arrived to the den too late, hoping to tell his father about Sandflower's pregnancy.
Sandflower is expecting Lynxdapple's kits!
Ferretpaw, Hollowpaw, and Frogpaw trained, trying to see who could bring back the most prey.
Northstar summoned Cloudscar to her den. She asked him about the WindClan queen, Swallowfeather, having heard at the last gathering that she was expecting more kits. She asked him if her kits were his and he beat around the bush. She had to get firm with him to get a proper answer. He admitted to the kits being his and Northstar scolded him. He claimed ShadowClan meant more to him than anything, but Northstar questioned his words. After the first time Cloudscar had kits with Swallowfeather, Northstar gave him a second chance to prove his loyalty. She demanded to know why he betrayed ShadowClan a second time after telling him to end things with Swallowfeather moons ago. Cloudscar stated he couldn't end things with Swallowfeather because he loves her. They never wanted a second litter, but it happened. He asked that shouldn't not being able to raise his kits, know his kits, and potentially have to fight his kits be punishment enough? Northstar said she couldn't give him anymore chances. By breaking the code, he broke her heart as she looks after every member of the Clan like they were her own kits. She told him to go be with his kits. Cloudscar didn't take it well. He argued with Northstar and refused to leave. Northstar grew furious with his disrespect, but before she could get a word out a harsh coughing fit from her sickness overcame her. Snowdance and Opalmist were called for. Closesky stayed with the leader while Cloudscar got out of the way. Snowdance did all she could, but Northstar lost a life. Grizzleyheart entered her den wanting to thank her for everything she did for him and his sons, Lynxdapple and Goldberry.
Crowfur is still coughing.
Cardinalpaw approached Roseleaf, asking if she was cross with him. He tried to be kind and reassure her he still loved her, but Roseleaf was drowned in her guilt and self-hatred that she didn't think he should even be talking to her. Cardinalpaw said it was probably time to tell the Clan the truth.
Spicepaw flirted with Ferretpaw. She encouraged him to "slice and dice" Leafpaw. They practiced battle moves.
(pg 85) Oakstalk glared down Goldberry from across the camp for what he affair that hurt Falcontalon. He approached Goldberry, scolding him for the things Goldberry has done in the past. Said Goldberry should be punished. He didn't deserve the benefits of the Clan. Goldberry held himself very well against Oakstalk's stinging words. He told Oakstalk to end him then, but Oakstalk stated he wasn't a killer like Goldberry. He questioned if Goldberry would like him to kill him so he would've have to live his cowardly life anymore. Cloudscar watched the argument from afar. Oalkstalk told Goldberry to leave the Clan. Shortcloud heard the argument from a different part of camp, Sandflower distracted her by asking her to go hunting. Goldberry told Oakstalk he wouldn't leave because Northstar told him to stay. Oakstalk told Goldberry to exile himself. The argument got heated until Sandflower butted in. She tried to calm things down, but Goldberry's and Oakstalk's shouting quickened her fear of when Goldberry attacked her. She ran out of camp. Goldberry and Oakstalk walked away from each other and Lynxdapple went after Sandflower to calm her down and reassure her. Brighmask was moved to the medicine den after her illness got worse.
Clan Life: Patrols go out. Goldberry and Swirlheart spend time together. Cardinalpaw, Raccoonpaw, and Quailpaw talk about how Roseleaf has been distant lately, they decide to spend time with her. Spiderfang sought Closesky's guidance about Ratpaw. Ferretpaw goaded Leafpaw for choosing to remain an apprentice (page 83). Lionscorch talked to Flintclaw about hoping to become a mentor someday. Houndkit, Gingerkit, and Spicekit were made apprentices! Houndpaw's mentor is Shademoon! Gingerpaw's mentor is Flintclaw! Spicedpaw's mentor is Bloodysnow!
Pouncepaw, Lionpaw, Moonpaw, Marshpaw, and Onyxpaw have been made into warriors! Their warrior names are Pouncefire, Lionscorch, Moonpetal, Marshsong, and Onyxtip. Leafpaw would've been made a warrior beside them, but she chose to remain an apprentice to remain equal with Ratpaw. Due to his illness, Ratpaw fell behind in training and can't be made a warrior. Ratpaw was moved by Leafpaw's choice and Northstar respected it. However, the clan doubts that Ratpaw will survive his illness.
More cats are getting sick. Grizzleyheart contracted the illness. He's confined to the medicine den. Northstar caught whatever sickness Ratpaw had. She had been spending a lot of time with him to help keep him warm when Brightmask, Leafpaw, and his other family couldn't. She's hiding her illness from the Clan. Kinkfire and Smokestorm have also been coughing and are hiding it. Brightmask is confined to the elder's den as she's contracted Ratpaw's sickness. Pouncepaw has been moved to the medicine den after contracting Ratpaw's illness as well. Opalpaw received her full medicine cat name! Her name is Opalmist now!Pinefeather rangted to Lynxdapple about how she feels about Spiderfang--thinking Spiderfang is stuck up and thinks she's perfect, etc. She'll never be friends with Spiderfang. She feels Spiderfang belittles cats because she was Closesky's apprentice. She claims everyone acts like Spiderfang is the "savior of the Clans." Lynxdapple got ticked off by that. He called Pinefeather a jerk. Pinefeather's bitter that Spiderfang's had several apprentices and Pinefeather is just now getting her first one. The talk got intense. Find it on page 77. They ended up storming off. Lynxdapple talked to Spiderfang about it and Spiderfang went to talk to Pinefeather. She apologized for saying Pinefeather would be a bad mother. Pinefeather gruffly accepted it. They had a heart-to-heart, but ended up insulting each other. Spiderfang finally admitted she was jealous of Pinefeather. They headed back to camp and talked about Pinefeather's soon to be born kits. Interaction starts page 77 and goes through 79.
Clan life: patrols, Goldberry and Swirlheart talked, Goldberry started realizing he has feelings for her. Songbreeze was depressed. Leafpaw fretted over Ratpaw, Lightcloud reassured her. Cardinalpaw collected feathers and pebbles. Lionpaw teased Songbreeze to cheer her up. Ferretpaw called Leafpaw "Ratpaw's keeper" as she fussed over making sure his nest was okay. Leafpaw didn't respond and Ferretpaw claimed she was all talk and just as weak as Ratpaw. Leafpaw ignored him.
Cardinalpaw asked Flintclaw if he looked like Falcontalon, Flintclaw said he did a little. Cardinalpaw awkwardly skirted out of camp and about ran into Poppypaw. Cardinalpaw avoided her "are you okay?" question by asking her about training.
Clan life: Hollowpaw, Ferretpaw, and Lionpaw trained. Pinefeather, Goldberry, and Crowfur hunted. Pinefeather missed a catch--which is odd for her. Goldberry suspected something was up, but she snapped for him to leave him alone. She returned to camp and ran into Spiderfang. After what happened with the apprentices, Spiderfang and Pinefeather aren't friends. Spiderfang noticed Pinefeather was expecting. They rudely complimented each other.
A gathering occurred? (10/17/2016)
Ratpaw is confined to the medicine den due to this illness. Leafpaw visited him often.
Clan life occurred: Shortcloud and Ravenflight hunted. Shortcloud took Poppypaw out training.
The incident with the apprentices was the new gossip. Most believed Ratpaw and Leafpaw were the ones to blame because they're known troublemakers.
Both Pinefeather and Leafpaw approached Northstar at the same time. Pinefeather told the truth of what happened while Leafpaw claimed Ferretpaw knew Ratpaw was sick and attacked him anyway. Northstar sent Leafpaw to her den and told Pinefeather to fetch Ferretpaw, she would hear the story from him. Northstar told the two apprentices that they all broke the warrior code by attacking each other and it is more honorable to avoid a fight than to start one. Northstar sent Ferretpaw to train with Emberfang and learn what a real warrior acts like.
Frogpaw teased Ratpaw for always having Leafpaw hanging around him and Ratpaw shot back that Frogpaw would never become a warrior if he kept skipping his battle training to hunt. Ferretpaw came to Frogpaw's defense and called Ratpaw the worst fighter in the Clan. Ferretpaw and Ratpaw got into it. Ferretpaw challenged Ratpaw, so Ratpaw attacked him. During the fight a heavy coughing fit broke from Ratpaw. Brightmask broke up the fight. Ratpaw was hiding an illness from the Clan. Frogpaw fetched Snowdance and Ratpaw was moved to the medicine den. Leafpaw attacked Ferretpaw after everyone walked away to teach him a lesson for challenging Ratpaw. Pinefeather broke it off. She got the story from both Leafpaw and Ferretpaw and went to tell Northstar about it.
Ratpaw and Ferretpaw got into an argument because Ratpaw was grumpy. Ratpaw called Ferretpaw a weasel and a coward and Ferretpaw called him spineless. Even though he just became an apprentice, Ferretpaw believed he could take on a scrawny cat like Ratpaw. Leafpaw had to break it up.
Closesky and Lionpaw talked about how Northstar became leader and how Ambershade stood against her at the time. They they talked of Lionshade then Closesky's status as Mentor of the Clan.
Ferretkit, Hollowkit, and Thistlekit are now apprentices! Ferretpaw's mentor is Emberfang! Thistlepaw's mentor will be Rowanstripe! Hollowpaw's mentor will be Shockclaw!
Eaglepaw, Smokepaw, Songpaw, and Hiddenpaw are now warriors! Their warrior names are Eaglesight, Smokestorm, Songbreeze, and Hiddendream!
Clan life occurred. Ratpaw complained to Leafpaw about life. Lionpaw spoke with Closesky about his 6 previous apprentices.
I guess Ashrock had a crush on Voidfang becaue he was toying with her.
Drama occurred between Twistedfoot and Echolight. Echolight ran out of camp and Twistedfoot and their kits followed her. She wouldn't say what was wrong. I guess she was mourning Stormgaze's death. Stormgaze is her brother, he never appeared in rp.
Pinefeather is expecting Shademoon's kits!
Shademoon is feeling better. He went hunting with Pinefeather
Goldberry found Quailpaw, Raccoonpaw, and Cardinalpaw. He pulled them outside of camp to tell them the truth. Quailpaw called him a liar. Raccoonpaw was quiet, having the feeling she knew all along. Cardinalpaw was quiet. Goldberry admitted he didn't expect them to feel anything for him. Quailpaw denied it and ran away to the apprentice den, crying. Raccoonpaw admitted knowing and that she wanted to know Goldberry better, but she'll never call him 'dad'. Cardinalpaw accepted the fact, choosing not to hate Goldberry, but said Falcontalon is his idol and father too. They headed back to camp. All three apprentices pressed together in the apprentice den and talked about it. They decided to talk to Roseleaf about it. Roseleaf was quite hostile, admitting she's been unhappy for a while, but she loved them. She asked them to forgive her. Cardinalpaw
Cottonfur had Crowfur's kit! Lunarkit!
Goldberry searched for Roseleaf, knowing they had to tell their kits the truth. Roseleaf was very hostile toward Goldberry for telling Falcontalon the truth in the first place. A heated argument ensued. Goldberry told Roseleaf she shared the blame for what happened and he questioned if she even loved Falcontalon. Roseleaf clawed him, but Goldberry wasn't fazed. He insisted he'd take whatever she threw at him and that they were both in the wrong for what happened. Roseleaf said their kits, Raccoonpaw, Quailpaw, and Cardinalpaw should have never been born. She stormed out of the den.
Falcontalon and Oakstalk went hunting. They chatted dad stuff and Falcontalon admitted to Oakstalk that Raccoonpaw, Quailpaw, and Cardinalpaw weren't his.
At some point, Echolight had Twistedfoot's kits: Breezekit, Wolfkit, and Tawnykit. I think it happened on the border page. Breezekit has a crush on Onyxpaw.
Clan life occurred. Spiderfang trained Ratpaw, Russetshade and Flintclaw cuddled, kits played, Pinefeather hunted with Frogpaw.
Northstar got hit by a monster on the Thunderpath! Frogpaw was hunting and ran onto the Thunderpath to chase after prey. Northstar saved his life by knocking him out of the way!
Goldberry was well enough to leave the medicine den. He searched out Falcontalon to talk to the deputy about the affair. Goldberry apologized. Falcontalon asked if Goldberry loved Roseleaf and their kits. Goldberry admitted to having no feelings for Roseleaf, but he did love Cardinalpaw, Raccoonpaw, and Quailpaw. Falcontalon was very level-headed and honorable in his talk with Goldberry. Northstar would be proud. Goldberry pushed that he wished for Roseleaf and Falcontalon to be happy. Falcontalon isn't yet ready to forgive Roseleaf.
Emberfang called Cloudscar out for mooning over something. He changed the subject by suggesting patrols. They talked about happenings in the Clan.
Echolight is expecting Twistedfoot's kits!
Prey has returned to the territory!
Twistedfoot and Echolight became mates!
Northstar took over patrols for Falcontalon.
Goldberry tried to kill himself by eating yew, but Scorchfire and Echolight stopped him. Scorchfire smacked some sense into him.
Kinkfire was building a relationship with a tom named Rowanstripe, going on patrols with him, building dens with him, but his rper left at some point. He and Emberfang helped her repair the elder's den after Kinkfire fell into it. She got impatient with Honeycloud for not helping after walking up and just staring. Lynxdapple had to come over and calm down tempers.
Cottonfur is expecting Crowfur's kits!
Frogkit and Poppykit were made apprentices! Frogpaw's mentor is Pinefeather and Poppypaw's mentor is Shortcloud! Icefire has moved back to the warriors den.
Spiderfang took Ratpaw out on a tough training session. Hunting and border patrols went out.
Cloudscar's mate is going to have more kits, but no one knows about this.
Goldberry finally came to in the medicine den and realized what he did. Pinefeather checked on him and he relayed he wanted to tell Falcontalon something. When he realized Pinefeather didn't know what he did, he told her. Pinefeather did not react well, but she encouraged Goldberry in the end to not give up on life.
Northstar spoke with Falcontalon in her den about Roseleaf's affair. Northstar agreed that what Roseleaf did was wrong, but she still supported Falcontalon's relationship with Roseleaf. Northstar respected Falcontalon's choice to make Roseleaf tell Quailpaw, Raccoonpaw, and Cardinalpaw the truth. Falcontalon told Northstar he'd treat the apprentices the same has he had been: like they were his own kits. After their talk, Falcontalon finally got a decent night's sleep.
Starrylight pulled Cedarstorm aside to talk about her mother's affair. Cedarstorm was surprised to hear about it, but he supported his mate through it all. They both hoped Roseleaf told Quailpaw, Racconpaw, and Cardinalpaw soon, then Starrylight feel into a much needed sleep against her mate.
Northstar checked on the elders. She spoke with Frostshard about the life she lost saving Bloodysnow in the storm, and Frostshard's lame leg. Frostshard spoke of a red herb that might help him. He requested that once his leg was healed, he's accompany Northstar to her next trip to the moonstone for old time's sake. Northstar agreed.
Starrylight tried consult her mother, Roseleaf, after finding out about the affair, but she ended up just feeling betrayed herself. Falcontalon, Starrylight, and her siblings had all been there for Roseleaf after Onyxheart's death and yet Roseleaf turned to Goldberry instead.
Cliffheart and Songpaw woke up in the territory after a fight in the Dark Forest. Not sure what the fight was about, Cliffheart and Songpaw wouldn't talk about it. I guess she learned the Dark Forest was using her. Cliffheart rescued her. Upon returning to camp, Cliffheart lied to Owlshadow about what they were doing. He said they got separated from the Clan when the storm hit and he about got washed away and jagged rocks caused his injuries. He said Songpaw pulled him out. Northstar took one look at Cliffheart's pelt and knew he had been to the Dark Forest. Cliffheart and Songpaw went to talk to her in Northstar's den. Cliffheart informed Northstar that Songpaw was training in the Dark Forest (Northstar already knew). Songpaw felt pulled by Creeksplash's lies, but realized late that the Dark Forest was using her. When they ordered her to hurt someone, Songpaw asked for help in escaping them. Cliffheart confronted Creeksplash and Creeksplash tried to kill them both. Cliffheart ended Creeksplash's spirit once and for all. Northstar then asked Songpaw what she wanted since she didn't appear to want what ShadowClan had to offer. Songpaw replied she wanted to stay in ShadowClan and learn the warrior code right. Northstar made Songpaw swear she would never go back to the Dark Forest.
Delirious in the medicine den Goldberry was moaning and mumbling. Falcontalon stopped by to check on him and Goldberry told him about his affair with Roseleaf. Northstar overheard and ordered Falcontalon to go get Roseleaf. Falcontalon challenged Roseleaf about it and Roseleaf couldn't deny it. Cardinalpaw, Raccoonpaw, and Quailpaw aren't Falcontalon's kits, but Goldberry's.
Crowfur is coughing, but he doesn't think its greencough.
Cedarstorm has a talon scar on his shoulder, so I guess the Clan caught a vulture at some point. Ashrock also argued with Voidfang about something--big surprise there.
Goldberry has been coughing while on patrols. On his way back to camp, he collapsed, Lionpaw, Grizzleyheart, and Stormcloud brought him straight to Snowdance. Goldberry has a bad case of Greencough, talking deliriously and lashing out. He believed he was still being tormented by the cats that once possessed him. Scorchfire had to hold him down to keep him from hurting Snowdance.
Shademoon has greencough. Pinefeather and Snowdance have been taking good care of him.
Moved to the new Forums. Some news lost.
- Gathering 8/17/16
- Prey is returning to the forest! Slowly but surely!
- Cardinalkit, Raccoonkit, and Quailkit are now apprentices! Cardinalpaw's mentor is Cedarstorm, Raccoonpaw's mentor is Crowfur, and Quailpaw's mentor is Starrylight!!! Aurablaze has also decided to retire and become an elder!
Northstar led the Clan back to camp! Everything is destroyed and in need of heavy repairs, but ShadowClan has survived! Upon returning to camp the clan mourned for their lost clanmates.
- Ravenpaw's mentor is Ravenflight!!!
- Cottonfur is expecting Crowfur's kits!!!
- Falcontalon led a patrol to the camp after the storm. The camp is mostly dry, but puddles are everywhere. Batflight's body was found in camp, Wolfstorm's body was discovered trapped within a pool of trees, Longsight's body was discovered in the hollow of a tree, Loneraven's body was discovered under a tree branch, and Coalfire's body was never found.
- Northstar returned to Highstones! She had Ratpaw, Leafpaw, and Snowdance with her! However she informed the Clan of Longsight's passing. Died from a crushed leg wound after saving Ratpaw from a falling tree branch. His body is in a hollow to be buried later. Loneraven, Coalfire, Cliffheart, and Songpaw are still missing!
- A storm ravaged our camp. The heavy rain caused a flood and the Clan was forced to head to Highstones once again for safety. In the evacuation Batflight was sunk into the mud and unable to get out even with Northstar's, Spiderfang's, and Bloodysnow's help. The warrior drowned in the camp when he was unable to get free. Northstar watching him die. Bloodysnow then almost drowned but was saved by Northstar, Northstar then getting sucked down into the current. Northstar, Longsight, Ratpaw, Snowdance, Wolfstorm, Loneraven, Cliffheart, Songpaw and Coalfire didn't make it to Highstones. No one knows where they are. Other than them, everyone made it. Leafpaw then slipped away to go search for Longsight and Ratpaw.
- Sorrow covers the Clan once again as Softmist, the mother of the Clan, has died. After constantly giving up her prey to the kits and queens, Softmist fell to starvation and carried on to StarClan.
- ShadowClan grieves once more as Shademoon discovered Darkblaze laying dead in his nest. He died of starvation in his sleep. A peaceful, yet empty way to go. The Clan grieves.
- Hunting patrols have been going out more frequently, but still coming back with little prey.
- Cedarstorm and Starrylight are now mates!!!
- Hollyflower is dead. She was bitten by an adder and the poison slowly killed her. There was nothing that Snowdance or Opalpaw could do to help her. Hollyflower died surrounded by her kin, her closest siblings and mother. The Clan grieves.
- Songpaw attacked Ratpaw! Granted Ratpaw baited her by insulting her, but Songpaw attacked Ratpaw with claws and left a deep wound in Ratpaw's cheek when he hit the ground his already bruised ribs knocked the wind out of him. Songpaw was heavily scolded by Cliffheart and Northstar and Ratpaw was treated by Opalpaw. The whole Clan is surprised by Songpaw's sudden hostility.
- Goldberry is leading patrols to the twoleggedplace to hunt vultures in our prey shortage, all warriors who go with him be careful!
- Ratpaw and Leafpaw have brought back a honey-filled, abandoned beehive to camp! Ratpaw bruised his ribs in the process of getting it though.
- Northstar made Grizzley an official warrior! His warrior name is Grizzlyheart!!!
- Closesky, Softmist, and Brightmask have retired to the Elder's den. Their many seasons of service will never be forgotten by the Clan!
- Tigerpaw and Littlepaw are now warriors! Their warrior names are Tigerfury and Littlemoon!!!
- A rogue waltzed into our camp, following behind the unaware Silky. The rogue claimed to be Night, Silky's brother, but he was swiftly dealt with as warriors challenged him. Oakstalk, Bloodysnow, and Batflight chased him to the border. Closesky scolded Silky for not being aware of her surroundings, leaving camp by herself when she has newborn kits in the nursery, and leading a stranger to the heart of their territory. Northstar had been listening to the whole commotion and she confined Silky to the camp until her brother can be dealt with.
- Right after returning from the gathering the Clan discovers that Pineskip led his apprentice, Hawkpaw, to WindClan territory where they stole rabbits. Northstar was furious with him once she found out, telling him the foolishness of his actions and the consequences that could fall upon ShadowClan. She ordered him to take the rabbits back to WindClan and leave them on WindClan's side of the border. Then she make Hawkpaw Goldberry's apprentice and ordered that Pineskip be on apprentice duties for the next couple of moons.
- The Gathering Happened...Northstar stood strong against the ridicule of the other Clans. ThunderClan won't back off our territory and now WindClan has accused us of stealing. Northstar swiftly defended her warriors against Swiftstar's accusations, but words were claws upon ShadowClan's honor and Northstar decided to leave. ShadowClan left the gathering early giving the clans one last warning to stay off our territory.
Gathering 7/17/16
THERE ARE A LOT OF CATS IN THIS CLAN! Our territory is struggling to sustain us and it doesn't help that ThunderClan keeps trying to steal some of it! Cats are to share prey and remember kits, queens, and elders eat first!
ThunderClan's border is to be constantly patrolled! We cannot let them take back our territory!
Blackpaw's mentor is Shortcloud!!!
Hawkpaw's mentor is Pinestep!!!
Northstar took a patrol consisting of Stormcloud, Oceanstorm, Pinestep, and Oakstalk to the border and returned the scent markers to the Thunderpath. She then led the patrol into ThunderClan territory to give Lightningstar warning to stay off ShadowClan territory.
Redspark had Bumbleskip's kits!!! Vixenkit, Hazelkit, and Mosskit!!!
NORTHSTAR HAS RETURNED!!! She and the patrol have finally returned to the Clan! Our leader was quickly informed of everything that she missed and it was well easy to tell that she missed her Clan! Northstar plans on dealing with ThunderClan asap!
Raccoonpaw's mentor is Spiderfang!!!
Grassflame had Batflight's kits! Houndkit, Gingerkit, and Spicekit!
Copperpaw's mentor is Flintclaw!!!
Shadepaw's mentor is Morningrain!!!
Ribbondance has had Oakstalk's kits! Four healthy kits: Ferretkit, Thistlekit, and Hollowkit!!!
It is a time of great sorrow dear ShadowClan. Falcontalon led a patrol consisting of Spiderfang, Goldenheart, Pinestep, Flintclaw, and Russetshade to the ThunderClan border to find that Lightningstar himself led a patrol of warriors to steal part of our territory. Our warriors fought bravely and valiantly, defending our territory with every ounce of their being, however, during the fight Goldenheart was slain by ThunderClan warrior Cedarfall. At her death Falcontalon called off the fighting, unwilling to risk anymore warriors. ShadowClan suffers a defeat and a loss and ThunderClan has stolen territory.
Snowdance received a sign from StarClan finally! However it had absolutely nothing to do with Northstar...The sign, Snowdance believes, is warning of an attack from ThunderClan so Falcontalon has ordered the the camp be reinforced. Two guards are too be posted outside of the camp entrance at all times and dens well be reinforced. Though ThunderClan sees us as weak with Northstar gone, we shall show them that we are stronger than ever! Borders are too take extra precautions and be more frequent! Senior warriors are to help divide tasks and patrols among-st the Clan!
Falcontalon informed the Clan of a border skirmish Cliffheart's patrol of Starrylight, Darkblaze, and Goldberry had with SkyClan! Spiritstar ended up breaking it up!
Falcontalon made Aurablaze's and Spiderfang's kits apprentices! Ratpaw is Loneraven's apprentice! Pouncepaw is Leopardshadow's apprentice! Moonpaw is Sandflower's apprentice! Marshpaw is Oceanstorm's apprentice! Lionpaw is Swirlheart's apprentice! Leafpaw is Lightcloud's apprentice! And Onyxpaw is Drizzletail's apprentice! Spiderfang and Aurablaze will be moving back to the warrior's den!
Echolight has returned to the Clan after moons of absence! She disappeared after her mother's death and has recently returned! Falcontalon is allowing her to remain in camp for now, though the Clan seemed split on the decision.
Lynxdapple and Scorchfire have come down with a weird, but severe case of Poison Oak. They discovered it within their nests. Snowdance is taking well care of them, but Lynxdapple suggested they've been rudely pranked. Wonder who it was...
Northstar is still missing! Falcontalon led the Clan to the gathering and showed no weakness to the other Clans though they are suspicious to why Northstar didn't show. There has been no sign of her or Closesky's patrol along the borders and the Clan continues to worry.

Northstar demanded his reasons and he declared it was because ShadowClan deserved it, but he stopped through his explaination overcoming by coughing and violent shaking his words became confusing and he cried that they were making him do it, but didn't specify who they were. Believing it to be another trick, Northstar exiled him. She declared that should he be found on the territory he would be ambushed without mercy. Closesky and Cliffheart chased him from the camp.
- Goldberry and Sandflower went out hunting, but Goldberry turned on Sandflower and tried to kill her! Shortpaw, who was following after the pair with suspicions about Goldberry, jumped in to rescue Sandflower. Threehope and Cloudscar, who heard the commotion also came running to help. Though Sandflower and Threehope are gravely injured the cats, with the help of Spiderfang and Lynxdapple, have brought Goldberry back to camp to reveal what had happened to the Clan!
- Smokekit followed Goldberry out of camp and was close to treading on the Thunderpath, luckily Northstar spotted him and stopped him before anything happened. She, Cliffheart, and Goldberry took the young kit back to camp.
- Spiderfang led Batflight, Loneraven, and Cliffheart to the carrionplace to find the reason why the rats invaded our camp. They discovered that the rat's nest had been completely torn down it could be an after effect from the storm, but Spiderfang discovered pawprints of a single cat mixed with the scent of flowers. There is reason to believe that single cat caused the invasion!

Ribbondance and Oakstalk came up with the idea to hunt the birds found in twoleg gardens. Northstar agreed to let them lead a patrol to the twoleggedplace and they took Redspark, Oceanstorm, and Lynxdapple with them.
Goldberry came up with an idea to use maggots to draw birds from the trees and sky. He took Closesky and Cliffheart out to full test his idea and the three ended up successfully capturing a vulture.

He was confronted by Oakstalk and Aurablaze and the commotion became camp wide.

From Archived ShadowClan 2012
Icepaw's mentor is Cloudystripe!!
Silverstar brought a patrol of ThunderClan warriors into the camp and claimed that her warrior, Brightmask was going to have Talonfury's kits. Talonfury didn't deny it and Brightmask stood proud by it so Talonfury is not to join any gatherings in the next few moons, he is forbidden to see Brightmask.

Mosslight will be helping Minnowleap and Shadowfur with the apprentice duties because of the way she treats Snakestripe and his siblings.
Northstar addressed the clan about the rogue argument, she stated that most cats in ShadowClan have been or come from rogue backgrounds and all warriors have proven themselves. ShadowClan needs strong loyal warriors, she explained that RiverClan was scared of the insults so they hide themselves from the Gatherings, ShadowClan needs to be confident, strong, and loyal. Members here need to stop doubting their clanmates and stand strong together.
Because of their actions at the Gathering, Shadowfur and Minnowleap are to help the apprentices with their duties until the next gathering.
