"Cedarstar is definitely dedicated, his burns prove that." Smokestorm flicked his ear. "But he doesn't have the graceful touch that Northstar did...I'm...I'm alittle worried his pride might get us in trouble with the Clans...more than it already is."
"Yes." Cedarstar smiled softly at her. She was eager to learn, he appreciated that much. "Take a moment to explore the clearing on your own. You've got to become quite familiar with it if you're going to train with the other apprentices and myself here."

Cherryvine had fallen into a light sleep, but was awoken by a sudden kick to her stomach by Hailkit. She sat up slightly and yawned, purring when she noticed Stormfury was still with her. Picking up the scent of Cloudscar lurking outside she let out a tired laugh, "Come in her Cloudscar, your favorite apprentice wants you to meet her kits."

Ashrock found himself a quiet corner behind the medicine den to sit down and brood.

“...You always had a softer heart...” Spiderfang sighed softly. It was what had drawn her to him, admittedly. Even against her harshest barbs and when her heart had been encased in stone, he had held her in a kind regard, loved her in ways she had forgotten. His compassion, even for twolegs, was something she could not fault him for. She shook her head, focusing on Carrionplace as she frowned. “Starclan...Look at those monsters. I’ve seen those kinds before, but never that many.” She looked suddenly towards a few massive, fat, yellow monsters with jaws that extended from its face. “Look. It doesn’t eat the Carrion. It just...moves it.” Mouseclaw's eyes tracked the yellow monsters as they moved back and forth, his frown deepening. "Huh, I don't think I've noticed them before. They must have showed up recently after the fire. I wonder where they're moving the carrior to? This doesn't seem to be a good sign for finding any rats near by."

Cloudscar's ears perked as he heard his name being called, but he stood and padded into the nursery. "I didn't want to intrude." He said softly, his eyes moving from Cherryvine to Stormfury, and then to the kits at her side. "Oh my....they're beautiful." he said softly, not wanting to disturb them.
Stormfury purred and nuzzled Cherryvine. "They are, just like their mother."

Cherryvine gave Stormfury a pointed look, "They're just as handsome as their father too." The new queen turned back to Cloudscar with a smile, "Cloudscar, I'd like you to meet Featherkit, Hailkit, Mistkit and Pinekit," placing her tail tip on each of the kit's head as she introduced them.
Hailkit let out another mighty kick, attempting to latch his tiny claws into his mother's tail.
Mistkit yawned, stopping her suckling to instead curl up closer to her mother to take a nap.

Stonesong stepped into the medicine cat den to find Ashrock brooding as he does. He was so charming even when grumpy and she couldn’t help but stare a moment. “Grumpy?” She asked him.

Pinekit also stopped suckling and tried to curl up like his sister, but was not nearly as graceful and bumped into Featherkit who let out a loud wail.
Stormfury smiled softly at Cherryvine. "If you insist." He said.
Cloudscar looked at each kit as Cherryvine introduced them and let out a purr. "Featherkit?....like..." he trailed off, his eyes moving to Stormfury, who nodded slightly. Cloudscar felt his throat tighten as he smiled at Featherkit, and then the rest of the kits in turn. "I love their names." He said after he took a moment to compose himself.

Ashrock lifted his head, breaking out of his thoughts at Stonesong's voice. He sighed and laid his head on his paw. "Of course."

Cherryvine leaned down, licking Featherkit's head to soothe her, making quiet hushing sounds. Once she was satisfied she sat back up, running her tail along Mistkit's back. "We named Mistkit after Softmist and Mistyflower too. It only felt right. And Cloudscar, you are welcome to come see them whenever you want. If anyone has a problem with how much time you spend with them, they can come deal with me. You were my mentor and I can allow whomever I want to be close to my kits." she mewed with a devilish smile.
Hailkit kicked out his legs, pushing off of Cherryvine's stomach. His tiny body rolled over towards Cloudscar's feet with a squeak. The newborn kit slowly raised his head towards Cloudscar. He squeaked with curiosity, knowing that the scent he was smelling was not his mother's

Cloudscar smiled at the mention of Mistyflower. The she-cat had played such a big role in his growth here in ShadowClan, and he hoped that she would be pleased. He returned Cherryvine's smile as she finished speaking and nodded. "I would be honored to spend any time with these kits, thank you for allowing me to do so." As Hailkit rolled over he laid down, being very gentle with the kit "Hello little one." He murmured.

Snowdance left her den and moved towards the nursery. Her tail twitched in a slight worry as she called into the nursery to let Cherryvine and Stormfury know she was there. It would figure that Cherryvine’s kitting would happen when she was out of camp, she knew she shouldn’t have left.

Palepaw tensed at the strain in his leg when both his sisters pushed against him. He leaned forward and pulled with all his might to get his foot uncaught. The bark of the tree pinched against his paw, but he endured it. Just a little more. He could feel it giving. Just a little more-- "Oof!" Palepaw's foot popped free and he fell forward, Whorlpaw letting out a yelp as she fell on top of him. Closesky ignored him and continued to clean his paw. Duskpaw yelped in surprise as they all tumbled forward, "Are you alright Palepaw?" Bumbleskip sighed, crouching on the ground and waiting for something to happen.

Cherryvine turned her head towards the sound, "Snowdance, is that you?"
Hailkit squeaked, pawing up at Cloudscar's nose.

"Ow," Palepaw mutter flatly. He waited for his sisters to get off of him before he got up and stretched his back paw. "I'm alright, thanks guys." Whorlpaw grinned brightly.
Closesky just continued to clean his pelt.

Snowdance pushed into the nursery at the sound of Cherryvine’s voice, “Yes, it is.” She mewed looking the queen over and was relieved to see both her and her kits were alright, “I’m sorry I wasn’t in camp during your kitting. I should have been here for you.”

Cloudscar bolted to his feet as Snowdance entered the nursery. "Hello Snowdance." He said with a dip of his head. "Let me get out of your way." With that he padded slowly out of the nursery, his footsteps lighter than they had been when he entered. I can't believe it He thought to himself. I finally have kin here...and my family is only growing. He smiled to himself and settled down in a shaded spot near the warriors den. How things had changed in what felt like a blink of an eye.

Closesky just continued to clean his pelt. Duskpaw giggled, relieved that he was alright. "Now that you're out, we were hoping you'd come eat with us, mother and father when he gets back with Rustlepaw!" Bumbleskip carefully got to his paws, and started walking away from Closesky as silent as he could.

Palepaw blinked. That sounded like a great idea! "Yeah!" He smiled. "I'd love too!"
"Where are you going?" Closesky asked in between licks.

Cherryvine waved her tail goodbye to Cloudscar as Snowdance came in, nudging Hailkit close to her again. "It's alright, Ashrock surprisingly knew what he was doing, and they all seem healthy to me." she murmured, scooting back a bit so Snowdance could assess the kits.

Or...maybe it will indeed make things worse. Ohh, I wish I knew!” Snakesong exclaimed, her eyes flickering with worry. “Alright! I’ll see what I can do.” Rustlepaw nodded quickly, the blind she-cat turning her muzzle from side to side as she felt the winds. Sometimes there would be faint gaps between the breezes, marked by what she assumed was a blocking tree. Her tail brushed carefully behind her and to her sides, though she lowered her head to feel around as well. She padded towards a tree, before stopping right in front of it. She sniffed it before she purred softly, lifting her paw to brush it against the ashy bark. “Pine tree...Cedarstar, I think this one didn’t die. I can smell it...something fresh, under the ash...That’s so neat. It survived such a big fire.”

Snowdance leaned forward and gave each kit a once over and sniffed at them, “I’m surprised he actually listened to anything Opalmist or I said. But I am glad he did.” She mewed, giving a light purr, “All four of your kits are healthy. And so are you. And it looks like Ashrock gave you the right herbs as well.”

This doesn't seem to be a good sign for finding any rats near by." “They...seem to be organizing it.” Spiderfang watched with suspicion and surprise. Why were these monsters rummaging through Carrion? “Are they trying to hunt?” She bristled suddenly. “Now they’re stealing our prey too?!”

(Hey Jules!)
"I guess we'll just have to wait and see." Smokestorm sighed.
Cedarstar blinked back at Rustlepaw. She could smell that the trees didn't die? He lifted his gaze to the pine's branches, but they were all still black and crispy. Perhaps it just needed time to regrow? Otherwise the territory would be full of trees like the Burnt Sycamore. "Our territory is stronger than it looks, much like our Clan," he said calmly. "What else is there?"

“I guess so...no matter what, I’ll have your back.” Snakesong mewed, hoping that her confidence reached her voice as she looked at her mate. “Promise me that you’ll be here no matter what? I...I couldn’t do this without you...”
Rustlepaw got back to scenting and exploring, finding wonder from the smallest stone to the bark of each tree. Some had that fresh scent, and others were completely sour with ash...dead, in a desolate way that hurt her heart. She shook her head, scolding herself. Now was not a time to be mourning some trees. Instead, she found herself exploring something that felt like the other trees, but the scent was...almost faded. The bark beneath her paws felt smoother, though that was interrupted by divots in the wood. Like...claw marks. She tilted her head as she unknowingly pawed at the Burnt Sycamore.
“This feels strange. I think...uhm, I think cats sharpened their claws on this one.”

(I can do that lol)
(Also anyone can rp with any of these guys if they want too)
Songbreeze flicked her tail slightly as she lifted her gaze towards the white she-cat she was so fond of. The kit that wasnt hers, but hers all the same. There was a dull ache everytime she saw her but a gentle reminder of the kits that should have been. Her gaze had a slight cloudy texture to it as she imagined her two little ones playing with Pearlkit. There giggles wrapping around her. It almost brought tears to her eyes as she shook her head pulling herself back to reality. The small queen let out a shaky breath. ~ Hiddendream was resting by the warriors den her body hunkered low to the ground. She licked a patch of fur that would not stay down for the life of her. She was rather distracted her belly was just starting to become noticeable and it wouldnt be long before her sister or her fellow warriors would notice she was expecting. She sighed not really wanting to face the facts. ~ Moonpetal padded into camp having helped Tigerfury hunt. With things the way they were every paw helped. She frowned a bit as she set a frog down nodding her thanks towards her clanmate though she looked around trying to spot Ratmask out. Her ears twitched as a sad look crossed her face. Would they ever feel like a family.... they were the only ones left. It caused a sadness to grip her heart. ~ Tigerfury was looking for his sister he was so protective of her since the fire. He was always worried for her safety. He could have lost her! He knew she was a warrior and a strong one at that but he still couldnt help it. The large tom flicked his ears.
