"Oh, boy." He chuckled. "At least he actually learned, though. Some cats don't even do that." Rowanheart spat out another feather as he spoke. "That is convenient, to say the least; though a bit of a shame all the same. I had a mate once, but we never did have kittens. She died before then. But..." The tabby hesitated. "I'm sure I have kits somewhere, I did a lot of things I now regret in my youth. Perhaps I will meet them someday, but, then again."

Duskwatcher chuckled softly at that." I think we all have those things we regret.", he said." I do regret waiting so long to admit to her how I felt, now that I look back on it.", he said, and sighed softly, taking another bite of blue jay." And waiting so long to have kits, though I am glad to have Ravennight and Runningshadow.", he said.

( oh my god, bring the angst and despair, I thrive off it!! ) [Same, only I'm also silently screaming because my bABIES. My grandkids. :A:] "I guess that's true, if anything." Rowanheart bent his head to take another bite. "But at least you had her, for a time. And at least you have your kits. Meanwhile, I'm beginning to think I should have gone with my siblings...It gets lonely around here." |

Duskwatcher glanced over at his denmate. He could tell that not having any family around was hard, and he sighed softly." Well, you have your Clan, and you have me to bore you with my ramblings.", he teased, smiling softly at his denmate." Have you ever thought about asking any nearby loners about news of any cats you remember?", he asked.

"That I do," he responded simply. "And, frankly, no. I would if I had seen any loners around recently, but all the same I doubt they'd have any news." Rowanheart swallowed another mouthful of meat. "No doubt they're both far away from here by now. Wherever 'here' is in relation to where Cedarnose said that he was going." |

Vintage was impatient with the boiling heat and it had caused her to jump too soon. She did appreciate Runningshadow's advice though. "Thanks.." Sighing she stretched and went to try again on the next piece of prey that she spotted. She didn't want to return to camp empty pawed, she would feel like a failure otherwise. Gritting her teeth she leapt across the branches ahead and stood tall, peering through the pine needles with a sharp gaze.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The heat was at a new high as it beat down over the dense forest. The sweltering heat was a troublesome thing and even more so on this particular day. The dry grass and pine needles made for an excellent kindling for a fire to start up. Grimstar noticed the smell before he saw the blaze itself. The thick scent of smoke clogged his nose and he snorted, irritated by it. Whirling about he stared into the tree's until his crimson eyes settled upon the flames that were quickly ravaging their way across the woodland. Tense he hurled himself towards the elders den first, yowling into the mouth of the cave. "Fire! Scatter! Regroup at the northern stream!" He moved from the den and towards the woods themselves to call the warning out to anyone else he could find. If he couldn't find them it was a common rule should a fire ignite to run to the northern stream, but if it came from that direction to head to the opposite stream on the other side of the territory. Rushing through the tree's he called out his warning again in case any lingered above him but the smell of smoke kept him from properly scenting the air so he pushed onward. In emergencies Queens and Kits were helped out of camp and kits were carried but since no queens or kits were in the camp at the time everyone else was instructed to simply move to the rendezvous point.
Rushing through the tree's the shapes of brown and green blurred past him as he went. Swerving left and right to avoid slamming into the overly populated forest. A sharp crack overhead startled him as a large branch fell, pinning him down to the ground. Pain lanced down his spine and he hissed in outrage, struggling to get out from under it. The branch being too heavy kept him pinned, he was stuck. The smoke in the air clogged his lungs making it hard to breath and soon enough he lost consciousness.
( there we go, fire is started, let's do this! woo! )

Duskwatcher hummed softly." You know, my brother left the Clan as well, though he just wanted to roam. He wasn't a fan of just having to stay in the territory all the time. Dayrunner always was a very adventurous cat.", he said." He's probably gone by now, though. But I do hope he found the adventure he was looking for.", he said.
((Just heads up, I'm gonna have him come back at some point later in the RP, to maybe cause a plot stir up, if that's cool with everyone.))

Duskwatcher raised his head quickly at Grimstar's meow, and got up as fast as his old bones would allow him." We should hurry.", he said, turning to Rowanheart, his tail lashing in agitation.
Sagewhisper had had been lounging outside his den, but shot up, and shot into his den to grab the honeycomb he had, leaving everything else. He had to prioritize, and he knew that the honey would be good for smoke-burned throats. He ran towards the camp entrance, yowling around the honeycomb.
Darkstalker had seen the flames on his look for prey, and came running back towards camp, yowling the alert.
Runningshadow heard, his head whipping around." Come on, Vintage! We have to go!", he said, leaping down from the tree, wincing at the jolt from the height he had jumped, and waited for her." Come on!"
Ravennight had nearly ran into the fire, and ran towards the northern stream, her tail streaming behind her, leading her patrol to the stream.

Adderfall smelled the thick smoke fill his nose before he felt the flames lick against the log he went to lean against after the patrols left and felt as the smog filled his head. With the sudden shock of the smoke, Adderfall twitched his nose and shook his head backwards to try and evade the smoke as best as he could. Looking behind him to see where the smoke was coming from, his eye bugged out and his blood ran cold as flames climbed up the log and neared where he was sitting. Swerving his head around suddenly and jumping up, Adderfall pushing his back legs forwards and took off towards the middle of camp where he could survey the area. He stopped just far enough away from the growing flames to see them climbing up the tall trees surrounding the camp and lighting their tops on fire.
Cloverpaw jumped at her mentor's urgent call and looked back at the growing flames surrounding the camp rapidly. It was total anarchy around her; cats running in random directions, some listening to Grimstar's voice and other to pumped with adrenaline to hear him. Cloverpaw pushed past the entrance of the camp and took off into the forest, jumping forwards with every step and weaving under growing roots.

Sagewhisper nearly ran into Adderfall on his rush to get out of camp, stopping by the tom." Don't just stand there, we need to move!", he yowled, and took off running again, heading out of camp and towards the stream, catching up with a few of the other cats, running beside Cloverpaw.

Rowanheart was about to answer his denmate when the acrid scent of fire hit his nostrils. There was one thought on his mind: Run. And so he did just that, paws pounding the earth as he raced.
~~~~~~
Veldetta kept up well, her longer legs making taking great strides effortless. She hadn't been alive to see a major fire, she'd realized, but she'd definitely heard of them in stories. Hopefully this one wouldn't cause too much damage.

Adderfall puffed out deep breaths as he tried his best to keep up with Sagewhisper's rapid steps, but with each step he took he lost more and more sight of the gray tabby. The thick smog was sitting heavy in his lungs and his eyes burned from being hit directly in the face only moments ago; the tom didn't know how much longer he could run. Adderfall every since he was a kit knew that his endurance was extremely low and thus would try his best to get out of leaving the Clan's camp whenever he could, and with the added smoke, he couldn't keep up with the other cats. Biting down on his tongue in panic, Adderfall looked back to see the flames scorching the forest floor and igniting everything it could reach. Gulping down his alarm at the thought that he could be the nest thing to light up, Adderfall turned his head again in front of him and could see no one in front of him.
Cloverpaw continued to push forwards, following quickly behind the other cat's towards the river and looked to her side to see Sagewhisper joining their saw group. The she-cat could feel the flames closing in on them, but she knew that this wasn't a time to be scared; if she grew scared now, she didn't know if she would be able to have a chance to get scared ever again.

Vintage smelled the smoke and cringed at it's odd oder. Following Runningshadow she leapt from the tree and landed on silent paws. Lurching towards the woods she made haste towards the Northern River. Her paws moving swiftly as her blue pelt was ruffled by the wind. /I hope we all make it../ she thought as panic clawed her mind.
(( Grim will be found by a different cat that is joining hopefully today. Until then continue with the fire and getting to safety c: ))

A dark shape suddenly ran into Adderfall, Darkstalker have gone back, knowing that Adderfall wouldn't have done well with the smoke." Stay low to the ground!", he called over the roaring flames." And follow me!", he said, walking at a faster pace than usual, though slow enough that his former apprentice could keep up. He headed towards the outskirts of the fire, the opposite direction as the northern stream, but he knew that Adderfall would be better off where the smoke wasn't as thick, and the way to the north stream was becoming extremely smoky.
Sagewhisper made it to the stream before most of the cats, placing his honeycomb on a rock, and started assessing the cats that came running in from the forest.
Runningshadow stayed beside Vintage, his long legs carrying him swiftly across the ground towards the stream, his eyes wide in fear.
Duskwatcher kept up with Rowanheart, luckily still young enough to be able to run quickly, though he was starting to wheeze from the smoke burning his throats and lungs.
Ravennight finally reached the stream with her patrol, wheezing as well, having run through a rather dense cloud of smoke a ways back.

Fire was definitely not one of his favorite things. Most certainly. Duskwatcher's breath wheezed in his ears as he ran; he was sure that he himself was breathing fairly hard as well, but he wasn't exactly focused on that right now. Rowanheart gagged from the smoke.
~~~~~
Veldetta was bent over, hacking loudly. Nothing was coming up besides bile, at least. Smoke? Flames? Horrible. Just horrible, especially when you had to run straight through it.

Duskwatcher stayed beside him, breathing heavily, finally breaking out into the fresh air by the stream, gasping for air.
Ravennight rushed over to him, sniffing him, and started to nudge him towards the stream, and Sagewhisper.
Sagewhisper hurried over to Veldetta, and started sniffing her." Over here.", he said, beckonging her towards the stream and where the honey he had saved was.

"That," Rowanheart stated somewhat raspily, "Was horrible. And I have a sinking feeling that it will not be over anytime soon." He sat down on the bank, staring into the water. "Although, one can certainly hope that it will be."
~~~~~
She glared at him mutinously for a few moments, then followed. Honey was useful, at least.

Vintage followed along after Runningshadow, grimacing. Her paws ached and her lungs heaved to try and breath clean air. Wincing she stopped beside the stream and laid down, trying to keep from dry heaving. She could see a few of the others had arrived to the stream but the haze of smoke made it diffcult for her. "How many are here.." she croaked gazing at Runningshadow curiously. She couldn't scent them so she had to rely on her sight which wasn't easy as her one eye was entirely useless and scarred over.
