Cliffheart let out a quiet hiss when the irritation from the spicy thyme refused to leave his legs. He tried rubbing them on the bark of the branch, but to no avail. Ears back and fur fluffed with annoyance, Cliffheart tried to ignore it. He looked around for any indication that Duskpaw was nearby.

"First places to check are the medicine den and apprentice den." Whorlpaw nodded and stood up. "I'll check the medicine den for Ashrock. You look for your brother in the apprentice den." "I guess if they patrol it all the time, they get used to it. Like how we got used to camp." Longkit kept running, but made sure his sister remained close. They had to be the first kits to do this! Their father would even have to proud of them for the catch they'd bring back! "Alright." Honeypaw nodded, padding quickly towards the apprentice's den. He and his siblings slept the closest to the center now, both a privelage and a hassle, especially if they wanted to leave the den without tripping over the other apprentices. For now though, he slipped inside, searching to see if his brother was here. He could see Crystalpaw sleeping soundly in her nest, and he made sure not to wake his sister up. "I heard mama say that big monsters run around near the Thunderclan border! Do you think they're really that big?" Lightkit chattered excitedly, bouncing after her brother, unaware of all the racket her pawsteps were making in her excitement.

Whorlpaw trotted over to the medicine den. She poked her head inside to look for Ashrock's bulky frame. "Snowdance? Opalmist?"
"Maybe they're as big as that fallen tree?" Longkit paused to awe at a tree that had fallen from the fire. The monsters on the Thunderpath their mother talked about was bigger than a cat and that tree was bigger than a cat. "Look how black it is!"

Duskpaw trotted forward, grinning as she got to a charred tree with Cliffheart’s scent on it. He’s got to be around her somewhere. After a short investigation of the nearby brush, she frowned realizing she hadn’t reached him quite yet. Focusing once more she tasted the air, pinpointing the trail towards the burnt sycamore. The apprentice, getting tired of the chase took off running towards the sycamore.
Upon arriving to the sandy clearing around the tree, she could tell by his stronger scent that he must be nearby. Finally, looking up she saw a glimpse of his fur, giggling she planted herself below her mentor. “Found you!”

"Hm?" Cliffheart peered down the tree and he actually gave a soft smile seeing Duskpaw staring all bright eyed up at him. Cliffheart bounded down to land beside her. "I'm impressed, Duskpaw. I thought I'd trip you up a couple times back there."

Duskpaw beamed at his praise, “You made it hard! I started going the wrong way a couple of times.” She admitted, settling down for a rest until she was given further instructions. “If I didn’t know you were being tricky on purpose I would have been very confused on where you were trying to go.”

"You never know what you'll find on the territory." Cliffheart offered. "You may find a kittypet that got lost and made a lot of twists and turns like I did. So it's always good to be prepared. Even outsmart the one your tracking if you realize their methods."

Duskpaw tilted her head, nodding slowly as she took in what Cliffheart said. “That makes sense! Kitty pets don’t know how to track things so they’d probably just wander around blindly. Besides making your path tricky to follow by going in a non-linear path, are there other ways to help make sure it’s hard to track you?”

Longkit paused to awe at a tree that had fallen from the fire. The monsters on the Thunderpath their mother talked about was bigger than a cat and that tree was bigger than a cat. "Look how black it is!" "Hm?" Opalmist turned her head, the medicine cat apprentice glancing back at the apprentice. "Is there anything you need?" She asked curiously. "Oh, yuck." Lightkit's muzzle curled up as she smelled the bark. "It smells really bad. I don't like it. Didn't the whole forest smell like this?" She asked, remembering that bad fire with a twinge of unease.

(Hey Ice! Stormcloud is still on Kinkfire's patrol to follow Rustlepaw.)
"Hi Opalmist," Whorlpaw greeted kindly. "I was just looking for Ashrock. Do you know where he went?"
Longkit nodded. "It did. Apparently the whole forest was black like this too." Longkit looked around at all the green sprouts returning. "Looks like everything is going back to normal, though."

"Ah, Ashrock." Opalmist mewed, a hint of sympathy in her eyes. "He went out to go look for some chervil for us. Snowdance and I were taking care of some fire ant bites on the kits earlier, so we couldn't go out to look for some. He offered to. He should be out in the territory." She flicked her tail lightly.
"Good! I hope that fire never comes back!" Lightkit shook her head sharply. "I thought we'd never see papa again..."

Kinkfire nodded to Lynxdapple, but hummed in response to Rustlepaw. "Then we shouldn't keep my foolish brother waiting. There's no telling what he might run into. Let's go." Lynxdapple nodded, quickly falling into step behind Kinkfire and Rustlepaw. Hopefully, whatever the scent was wasn't something dangerous, but a small part of him knew far better. Knowing their luck, nothing good would come of it. Just what Shadowclan needed now, he thought grimly.

She didn't know what chervil was, but it sounded like Opalmist believed what she was saying. "Has he been gone long?" Longkit looked back at his sister and his ears fell back. Ratmask was able to save them from the fire, but it had only been at Marshsong's sacrifice. He'd never forget the raw emotion he saw on his father's face that day. He was pretty sure their father would've stayed behind with Marshsong had Longkit and Lightkit not been there. "Yeah..." was all Longkit could manage. He didn't want to think about that day.

Stormcloud flicked his ear in slight worry as he followed after Kinkfire and the others. This new scent that Rustlepaw picked up could be just about anything.

"Ah, not so long ago. If he'd been out long, Snowdance would be bristling a storm in here." Opalmist answered with a small chime of laughter, before she sighed softly. "Honestly, a part of me hopes he can get some time out of this den. He clearly doesn't need anymore time in here..." "It's gloomy now. Let's do something fun. Like finding Carrionplace!" Lightkit quickly realized her brother was becoming down, and she quickly tried to amend it. She nudged Longkit's side. "You said you could guess the way, right? You think we're close?" Rustlepaw lowered her muzzle to the ground to lock into her own scent as well as Cedarstar's. Luckily, it was not difficult at all to do. Surely the patrol could even do it without her guidance. A part of her was hesitant to act like she could lead them anywhere, even if it was her discovery and her that raced back to warn her clanmates.

Falcontalon padded out of the elder's den with a yawn. The warmer weather had loosened up his shoulder significantly and given him a longing to get out of camp and do something more productive than sitting around the camp all day. Starrylight and Mouseclaw were hauling branches from the side of the camp towards the nursery, patching a bare spot that had opened up. Cherrystorm herded her kits out of the nursery to play, settling down near the entrance. Hailkit and Mistkit tumbled out of the nursery behind their mother. Pearlkit trailed behind the slightly younger kits, eager to having someone to play with. here ya go ^.^ )

The tall black tom moved, muscles bunching to help move the materials. A part of him wanted to spend time with his father, and another part spent so much time near the nursery that he sought to make it as safe as possible. He loved all of the Clan’s kits, even if his own had passed so young.

Mouseclaw rumbled out a purr as Lionscorch approached. "Thank you Lionscorch. I'm sure the queens would appreciate it if it's fixed by tonight." He mewed before beginning to weave a branch into the side of the nursery.
Starrylight dipped her head to her nephew as she dropped a branch in front of him. "You can start with this one. I'll go drag some more over here."

Work like this made for good strength training when he wasn’t out training his battling skills. He had been so focused on the kits and Songbreeze lately that training had not been on his mind. He weaved in the stick, before he asked his father suddenly. “I didn’t expect fatherhood to be so… consuming. But, it’s not bad. Is it weird that I think I like it even more than training?”

Mouseclaw chuckled, shaking his head. "Not at all. And when they get older, training can become part of parenting as well. You know your mother and I loved training with you and your siblings, but part of that is we just wanted to spend time with you. It is bittersweet to watch your children grow and learn without you. You're so proud but it is somewhat sad that you're not a kit anymore." he mewed honestly, giving his son an affectionate shoulder bump. "Pearlkit is still small, but you will understand one day."
Starrylight dropped another branch near the two of them. She playfully smacked Mouseclaw with her tail, "Are you working or chatting?"

Lionscorch apologized to his aunt with a sheepish chuckle, before he lifted up onto his hind paws. His height made this kind of patch work easy for him, though he had a tendency to get easily distracted. His mother and father training with him, Leaffrost and Onyxtip had been some of the happiest moons of his life. He felt his heart ache then, thinking of Onyxtip and missing her fiercely. "Pearlkit gets bigger and bigger everyday. I know she's not my kit by blood, and that Falcontalon is her father, but... I don't know, I guess I still feel like it, in a way." He idly and guiltily wondered if this was what Falcontalon felt for Cardinalblaze and Raccoonmask. To be a father to them, even if not by blood. "I'm just happy that she'll never be alone, no matter what."

Hi, I hope it's okay for me to post here- I'm interested in joining. I know you have a joining opage but I was wondering if my cat could be a loner that gets accepted by the Clan? Not sure if this is the right place to put this-sorry if it isn't!))

Hi, I hope it's okay for me to post here- I'm interested in joining. I know you have a joining opage but I was wondering if my cat could be a loner that gets accepted by the Clan? Not sure if this is the right place to put this-sorry if it isn't!)) Hey Hound! I apologize that it took so long for me to reply. If you would like to join as a loner, we would still ask that you post a form on the Joining Page. It'll get added to the twoleggedplace where most rogues and loners rp unless they interact with the Clans. If ShadowClan is the Clan you want your loner to join, we'll have to come up with a plot line to help your cat prove their worth as my leader isn't the most welcoming of outsiders. If you're still interested in joining, please let me know! Again, I'm sorry no one responded. We've all been busy outside the rp.
