❀☪EchoClan☪❀ ~ The Clan of Lingering Shadows (REMADE)

The sheet saw the tom coming towards her she stood and glared at him; she stood balancing on her fence she fluffed her fur and hissed a warning though it wouldn't do much since the male was four times her size. Plus her bell jingled every time she moved which had her curing her housefolk within her thoughts. Her mother told her of wild cats the size of dogs with curved claws and protruding fangs, they ate whole hare's in one sitting and fought badgers and fox's and won.

Lionclaw chuckled deeply and used one massive paw to pull the small she cat close, "Hey little one. Wanna practice a little?" Gently he stood careful of the small Kit below him, a cat his size had to be careful at all times especially when kits were around.

Zephyr chuckled at the she-cat, "I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk... Do I look that scary?" Something about the little ball of fluff intrigued him and he wasn't sure what, though he could teach her how to hunt and fight.

(I made him younger so they could relate more instead of him essentially being an old creep)

"You look like a wild cat... My mother said to never let a wild cat close or they'll shred your fur with their curved claws." She said watching him from her post, she didn't want to believe her mother. She loved Duchess but her mother was a tamed cat who was content with her pampered life of soggy food and constant affection from her housefolk.

(I have to go to bed, but I'll be on at 12 central time {meaning 10 am pacific for me)

Ok me too, night!)

Sandyclaw tilted his head. What does he mean? Swanstar and I are friends! Or... no, Swanstar just thinks of me as a friend. He looked Swiftcloud in the eyes. "I just want to talk to Lunaflower if she will let me." The deputy thought for a momeny before continuing, "Besides, if this ends in heartbreak either way it doesn't matter what happens. Because, no matter what, somecat's heart will break."

Spottedkit nodded eagerly, looking up at the massive warrior with large, round eyes. I want him to be my mentor when I'm an apprentice! She decided internally.

Alderpaw hesitated before looking at Pinepaw. "I- I think you and F-Firepaw should have m-matching warrior names. M-maybe Firelove and Pinelove." He teased, lifting his head up as he finished the last sentence. I've never felt this comfortable before! Looking over to Palepaw, he tilted his head. "W-what do y-you want your w-warrior name to be?" He tried not to jumble his words and stutter. Alderpaw was still nervous but at least he was talking to a cat other than himself.

[ me too. it has a nice ring to it. ]

Alderpaw purred, watching Pinepaw leave him behind. The shy apprentice realized he was having... fun. "I-I was hoping for Alderbrook or Alderfrost... After my parents..." He trailed off in embarrassment, scuffing the ground with his forepaw.

"Alright, now the most important move you will ever learn is the Hunters Crouch. Most apprentice's have difficulty learning it because it involves balance and patience, you also have to be able to move quickly ok?" Lion claw crouched low to the ground his belly almost touching the ground as his tail hovered behind him, then with careful movements he slinked forward then looked back at her, "Now you try." He nodded, This kit is curious and a quick learner, she will make an excellent warrior.

Zephyr nodded at the she-cat, "So you prefer Dusty then? Alright, now my question, would you like me to train you to hunt and fight? You wouldn't have to be a rogue like me, you could become a part of the clan of cats." He paused, and then dipped his head to her, "I am Zephyr."

Swanstar purred and slowed to walk with the apprentices, "Well, your warrior names depend on what I see in all of you. I have ideas for all of you, especially Palepaw, because she has shown me strength." She was considering to give Palepaw her warrior name of Palefeather, as the she-cat reminded her of herself when she was an apprentice. Pinepaw was more difficult, though, she could see fierce loyalty and protectiveness in the tom, so she considered Pineheart or Pinewater. (I actually had already thought of Pinewater for him XD) For Firepaw, she wanted to give him something that showed his courage, so she was torn between many names, Firestorm being one of them, and for Alderpaw, the shy tom had much potential, and she wanted him to see that, so the name she had thought of was Alderfang. Though, the tom had a point, and if he wanted to remember his parents, Alderfrost or Alderbrook. "Well, you have all given me much to think about. Dewpaw, why don't you come and join in the fun?" Dewpaw was very hard for her to choose a name for, as he was shyer than Alderpaw, though his ambitiousness intrigued her, she considered Dewflight for his warrior name.

Swiftcloud looked into his deputy's eyes and growled, "At least Lunaflower has another option for someone to care for her, Swanstar does not. You don't even realize your treasured leader is in love with you, we can all see it. I've known Swanstar for almost as long as you have, and I can tell. She doesn't want to jeopardize your friendship, and she most certainly doesn't want to lose you."

Dewpaw padded towards the back and wanted to join into the group of apprentices ahead of him. He wasn't sure if they would allow him to join in the conversation, when Swanstar asked him to, he padded faster and his fur grew hot. "W-w-well.... I-I would r-r-re-really like Dewnose, but I-I-I do-don't know..."


(Due to photosynthesis not being here, I will take over Doestep and Dewpaw's RPing. They can still come back, but we need those two to further the plot, can anyone else take Doestep, as I have a lot of cats already, and I might bring more in anyways so we have more cats. Jaggedtooth will potentially be Dewpaw's mentor, I just need Silverwind to verify.)

(Sure! I'll write up the responses in the morning)

(I'll be on in the morning)

Why would you want to train me? Im a House cat." She asked now greatly confused though she tried to make it seem like she want interested in the proposition. She didn't know why this stray tome would want to help a kitten like her, what was in it for him? Why would he off this training to her? Sure she dreamed of a life out of her housefolk's nest, away from their affection and nasty food. She's dreamt of hunting beneath the shades of the trees, with the wind swirling around her and grass tickling her paws as she walked.

He smiled and shook his head, moving closer he used his paws to gently push her flank down and moved her front legs further back so she was stretched low to the ground, "Straighten your tail out and never raise it above your back unless you want the prey to see you before your even close enough to pounce." Shes doing good lets see if she can move like this. He recalled what a mess he was trying to balance with his large paws and uneven weight as an apprentice.

(Silverwind, Winterpaw should be with the other apprentices on the trip to the moonstone and just your other cats need to be incorporated)
