Stormripple prodded his brother with his paw. "As if, our family will always need us. Especially since there are so few to our Clan." Stormripple bristled as he spoke, resenting that the original SnowClan had left his kin to die.
The sound of rushing water put Stormripple at ease, "This is true. I am glad we get to enjoy the waterfall as they did. Following in their pawsteps." The large tom flexed his claws on the grey rocks.

I am glad we get to enjoy the waterfall as they did. Following in their pawsteps." The large tom flexed his claws on the grey rocks. Adderstrike gave a small snicker. "Surely we could find some wandering rouges to join us. Next time you lead a patrol, we can look for them...Hmph. I wonder. If those stories are true, about this place, about the old Snowclan...I bet it was wonderful. I bet there were more cats down here than we could count. Kits and queens and elders..." The grey tabby closed his eyes heavily, before his face darkened with bitterness. "Starclan. How could they have forsaken us?"

Stormripple tensed, "I'm weary of allowing rouges to join. They will strengthen the Clan, but they will weaken the original Clan bloodline. That's all we have left, that and the waterfall." The silver-blue cat took a reminiscing breath, "I bet the nursery was always full with kits clambering around the camp. Multiple hunting parties and border patrols. How I long to see our camp like that."

How I long to see our camp like that." "Well, we can't mix blood with blood. We need new bloodlines or the clan will be riddled with issues." Adderstrike reminded, before he suddenly stood and waded into the water. "Want to swim with me, brother?"

Stormripple huffed, "I suppose you're right." He swished his tail, lowering into a pounce stance before leaping into the water, splashing Adderstrike. The water was Stormripple's domain due to his large paws acting as paddles.
The tom swam to a large boulder just barely emerging from the waters, using his long claws to stand on it. "It's always so refreshing here."

"Hmph. Yeah yeah. You may be the best swimmer in the clan, but I can splash you right back!" Adderstrike snickered, splashing towards his brother and snorting. "At least it's not freezing. Still cold, though. But it feels nice."

Stormripple shook his fur as water splashed up his flank. "Plus there's some fish!" He spoke, locking on a large fish at the bottom of the water, sunbathing.
Stormripple pushed off his rock, using the momentum to dive beneath the glimmering water. He spiraled down towards the fish, claws outreached as the fish swerved out of the way last minute. Stormripple emerged from the surface, panting, "But they can be hard to catch. I'll get it next time."

"I'll stick to fishing from the surface. If I dive that deep, I'll twist myself up and get lost underwater." Adderstrike snorted, yellow eyes gazing curiously down in the water.

"Ah where's the fun in that? The big ones are deeper down." Stormripple shook off the remaining water on his pelt, laughing. "Half the Clan could be fed with two of them."

"I'll just catch a large bird and it'll feed the whole clan, little brother." Adderstrike taunted wickedly, before he moved to splash his brother once more. "Heatherpaw says he wants to be like you."

Stormripple huffed, returning his brother's favor. "You're the master of the sky, those darn birds always see me coming. And before you say anything, my fear of heights has gotten better!"

We can hunt the skies together then...hm. Perhaps you can teach me to swim better and I'll show you how to hunt the large birds." Adderstrike offered.

Stormripple affectionately flicked his tail at his brother, "That sounds like a deal!" He faced the water and peered into it. "First lesson, never let your reflection show so you'll scare the whole school away." Stormripple crept closer to the waters edge, and peered into the shimmering water. A flicker of movement occurred as the fish saw his reflection and scattered within the crevicesof rocks.

(IM ALIVEEEE)
Owlshadow stretched languidly, looking around for cats to bring with her on patrol.
———
Adderstrike gave a groan of annoyance as he was awakened by his kits. Heatherpaw seemed to want him to train with him again.

(Woot woot!! Does Stormripple have any apprentices? I have forgotten much lmao)
Stormripple grumbled as his replacement came to relieve him of guarding duty. The giant-pawed tom grabbed a plump vole from the fresh kill pile and padded over to Adderstrike and Heatherpaw. "Going out so early? Best to have a full stomach," he placed the vole in front of his brother and niece.

( I don’t think so, unless he mentors his nephew, which I’m cool with) Heatherpaw’s eyes brightened as he looked up at his uncle. He mewed boldly. “You said we could go on patrol, right? That I could go in the caves with you this time! Please!” He begged. Adderstrike looked at his son, then at his brother. “May as well take us. Heatherpaw won’t stop until you do.” He snorted.

Stormripple huffed in amusement, flicking his tail towards Heatherpaw, "Don't go running off like last time and stay alert." His cerulean blue eyes light up as he began towards the exit, "Patrol will be Adderstrike, Heatherpaw, Olivebranch, and I."

His cerulean blue eyes light up as he began towards the exit, "Patrol will be Adderstrike, Heatherpaw, Owlshadow, and I." (Pssst. Owlshadow is with the other group XD *slides Olivebranch over* he may take her place ) Heatherpaw bounded with excitement after his uncle, Adderstrike following at a slower pace. The rugged warrior watched his son with light pride, and glanced over respectfully as Olivebranch padded over to them. The senior warrior flicked his tail, calm and thoughtful. He purred. “Good. I needed a patrol to stretch my greying legs.” He joked, not too old yet, but certainly not young.

(oops lol! I don't remember which cats I have in the other group, do you?)
Stormripple purred, "You have many moons left to stretch those legs." He led the team through the undergrowth, scanning the area. He caught the scent of a mouse though the pines, stopping "Heatherpaw, tell us what you can smell." Stormripple smiled at his brother, wanting to see what he had taught his son.

Stormripple smiled at his brother, wanting to see what he had taught his son. “Well, mouse for sure. And a ton of pine trees.” Heatherpaw answered as they pushed out of the camp cave and into the mountainous patch of pine forest. Adderstrike puffed with pride, and nodded lightly to his brother. Olivebranch quietly gazed across the mountain, his eyes dulling with memory and heaviness as they usually did everytime he left camp.

Stormripple's eyes faintly widened in surprise, "Well done." He gave Adderstrike a nod of recognition. The warrior noticed Olivebranch's change in demeanor but shrugged it off.
The patrol padded through the forest, paws crunching on dried pine needles. As they neared the border Stormripple couldn't help but appreciate the view- a steep rock face, sparsely populated with lean grasses and gleaming with schist.

The stories of a once massive Snowclan, all together?” Heatherpaw asked his Uncle quietly, as his father moved off to stalk after a bird.

Stormripple smiled, staring out at the landscape, "Entirely true. Camp was located in a cave teeming with gems. Tunnels spread throughout the base, making any attacks nearly impossible. Even the warrior den was overflowing." His massive tail lashed out in agitation, "There was no way to tell that the infrastructure was weakening."

His massive tail lashed out in agitation, "There was no way to tell that the infrastructure was weakening." “All was well until the collapse.” Olivebranch had approached the two. He looked at Heatherpaw, who’s eyes were wide with wonder and fear. The senior warrior swallowed. “I was there, when it happened. Just earned my name...My sister and I...then...it just...collapsed.” He closed his eyes lightly. “Your grandmother...and your mother, Stormripple, saved my life and pulled me from the edge of the rubble. After that, it was only a few of us left. We never saw the rest of them again...”

(I am the owner of this thread and I am summoning my Clan back, as we are ready to progress with our storyline. Moonblazer Rainwatcher CrispLeaf mourningdove ) Wildstar flicked an off-black ear, rising to his paws. He would find Frostfeather, his sister, and ask her advice on the dreams that had been popping up in cats around the Clan. She was his most trusted ally, besides Owlshadow, whom he had obviously already spoken to, as his Deputy and best friend. The large ginger tom's whiskers twitched with anticipation as he searched for his pale-coated littermate, nerves slowly worrying away at his newly found confidence.

Frostfeather swished her tail languidly, her eyes tracing past her clanmates. She could see Swansong chatting idly with Blackfire, and Pinefoot with his mate in the corner of camp.

Wildstar's constant but wavering gaze eventually fell onto that of his lovely sister, and his lax walk stretched to a bound as he hurried to her. "Frostfeather! Sister, I require your wisdom. Spare a moment to speak with me in my den?" The young ginger tom asked, masking the anxiety in his voice with a cheery mrrow, though his normally bright green eyes were dark, and gave away the truth to his toils.

Wildstar's dark tail tip twitched, his spiky fur ruffled with anxiety. "What would you think if I told you I think more cats survived the Collapse than made it out on this side?" He asked, his voice hushed and hurried. His bright green eyes were narrow with seriousness, and whiskers twitched with anticipation.
