Dewfern felt her fur stop bristling; she hadn't even realized it had been. Oh, praise the ancestors for you, Duskstorm. That was incredible, she thought with a quiet purr in her throat. She hadn't been able to say it any better. He's a leader. "Thank you for that," she mewed quietly, laughing lightly at Wolfbite's joke and bowing her head momentarily to Duskstorm. She then turned her gaze to the Royal Tower. "I'm going to check on Stoneheart." The princess slowly started back toward the tower, feeling a faint sense of dread picking at her heart. As much as she tried to push aside the thoughts of... What just happened for just a moment, she failed miserably. Maybe I'll actually feel better when I talk to dad. If he's even awake...

"It's going to be okay." Ripplestorm mewed to Fox. He could tell the young cat was pretty shaken up. "Deep and careful breathes now."
(Mmm I'll save it for another time. Thank you though I'm sure we can plan something for someone important lol)

'You are more than welcome.' Duskstorm softly replied, before politely bowing his head to her. 'I wish you well. I will be in the courtyard to sleep, if you wish to see me in the morning.' He replied, flicking an ear, before standing with Wolfbite, he and the elder making their way in that direction.
Fox nodded and did as she was told, slowing down her breathing and leaning up against her mentor. She really did need to learn to stay calm. What Duskstorm had done was something she would never have considered; she had been ready and rearing to go. 'I'm hungry.' She complained- she hadn't eaten, as she'd been 'guarding' the rats nest.

((It would be awesome if they held a trial and the priests acted as judges. I don't think they've ever had trials in the castle before because it's always been what the royal family says goes but in this situation they might do it just to save their image))
--Sandstripe
Sandstripe didn't move for a moment. She couldn't believe she was still alive. She looked up at Greywind, and slowly started getting to her feet.
"Thank you," she whispered. "Thank you. Thank you. Dusk storm--thank you. You saved me. I . . ." she lost her train of thought, still crazed from the adrenaline of what had just happened. Falling silent, she followed Greywind toward the garden, where her deadly stash of herbs was hidden.
--Stoneheart
Stoneheart opened his eyes and slowly lifted his head. No one was here. "Guards?" he called hoarsely. "Dewfern? . . . Thunderheart?"

Duskstorm simply nodded at her quietly, gaze soft, and watched her walk away, as he departed with his mentor. It had been a stressful day, and all he wanted to do was sleep. He headed into the courtyard and headed towards his and Wolfbite's nests, which they'd built up together out of sight, hidden inside a bush. Once inside, he curled up, and was asleep within minutes.
((Okay I'm out for the night 😂 G'night all!))

"If I get a chance," she mewed back at the tom. We'll see. There's bound to be more going on than ever. The only constant in her life was now Duskstorm as everything constantly changed. It was comforting to finally have that. As she padded up the spiral stairs she pushed aside these thoughts. "Father?" she meowed softly, entering the beautifully decorated room. "Are you okay?"

((good night y'all I should also probably sleep soon because I have to get up at 5am for work.......... jk i'm not going to sleep because i love to die))
--Sandstripe
"I understand," Sandstripe said. ". . . We all did what we had to do." She glanced nervously at Lighttail, wondering what her former apprentice was thinking. With hunched shoulders, she walked into the garden, toward her den. As she led the royal guard to her stash of poisonous herbs, she began blabbering, as if talking would soothe her nerves.
"I started growing these a long time ago. I don't really know why. I just wanted to have them just in case. It wasn't easy for me to do this, you know. Stoneheart and I grew up together. We were close. I . . . I watched him grow up into a leader. But he relied too much on the Queen. She didn't have royal blood, but she was more of a leader than he ever was. And when she got sick, I knew Stoneheart wouldn't last long. Honestly I thought he would have died of grief by now. By letting him live I was just prolonging the inevitable." She began tearing the plants out of the ground with her claws. "I was just trying to end his suffering. Our suffering. And hers."
--Stoneheart
Stoneheart sighed with relief when he heard Dewfern's voice. "I'm alive," he said softly. "I see you haven't left. Thank you for that. I can't handle any more stress." He looked around blearily. "What happened to me? After I took Sandstripe's herbs, I . . . it was like they were poisoned . . . did . . . but she wouldn't do something like that. It must just be my age."

(I'm going to sleep soon too, but I'll pray that you can get some sleep. X))
- - Dewfern
Dewfern tensed, curling her tail in tightly. What was she supposed to tell her father? "I'm not sure, father. I'm not sure why she would do that." And that was the truth. She thought Sandstripe was their dear friend, so why in the world would she do this? "I'm just glad you're okay. We were worried." The princess nuzzled him gently with a warm smile. Right now she didn't want to spoil the fact that her father was alive by stressing him out. He could recover, the castle could be at peace and everything would be happy again. Just... Think this for a while. We'll be okay.

Ripplestorm laughed and flicked his tail. "Come on let's pick the biggest piece of prey for you to eat." He purred using his paw to poke Fox playfully.

'Yes please.' She replied, stomach growling, stumbling only slightly when he tapped her. She began o head towards food, every so often stopping to wait for her mentor.

Ripplestorm follows Fox over to the dining hall. He lets out a sigh and wonders if things will ever be the same.

She took a while to pick over the food, finally choosing a piece and dragging it over to Ripplestorm to share with him, her eyes wide as she dropped it. Owlish, from how tired she was. She dug in almost instantly, politeness gone out of the window due to her hunger. Once she'd sated the worst of it, she settled down, curling her tail around her body. 'Do you think I'm still too immature to graduate?' She asked, looking up at him with a tilted head.

Ripplestorm takes a moment to swallow the meat in his mouth. "In a way but you do have potential." He mewed twitching his tail. Ripplestorm knew Fox could be a good guard but he wanted to be sure.

Fox nodded with polite acceptance, continuing to eat until she was full. Then she sat back and yawned widely, sleepily looking up at Ripplestorm. 'I'm tired.'

(Heyyyy guys. Just letting you know, we're setting up the cat trial with Skysong as the judge and the jury made up a group of the oldest cats in each rank. (you wanted this, Duskstorm) Obviously we'll only choose from the active members, but if you're not comfortable with your cat in the jury or you want your cat to be involved in a certain way, notify me and we'll work it out!)

(Hey, in the description of Ripplestorm it doesn't mention that he's a royal guard, but you said it in the a post, so did you forget to mention it in the joining form? I can change him to right category, I just need to know. )
