» BRIGHTFALL
"Thank you Bramblestar," Brightfall whispered as he dipped his head politely to the leader. "I've got a good one, about Larchshade, StarClan, and I." Memories swarmed in his head, of all the good and bad things that have happened in his life. The good was because of StarClan, and he believed it. The pale brown tom cleared his throat and began.
"There was this one time, when a group of foxes decided to trespass on our territory. They prowled everywhere, leaving plenty of their foul stench to track. Larchshade and I were young warriors back then, and we wanted to prove ourselves. Naturally, we decided that we would track down the foxes and try to kill them. We were mouse-brained fools and you could definitely see this wasn't going well for us. I'll take all the credit, as it was my idea. During the course of the day, we snuck out of camp without Bramblestar's knowledge and followed the foxes' trail. It was fairly easy, after all they were foxes. Eventually, we spotted sleek, russet creatures with their teeth bared at us. Being the heroes we were, we attacked them. Now this was just one fox and we were getting close to delivering the killing bite, but another fox turned up and foiled our plans. We were left for dead. But StarClan wanted us alive, and they saved us. They gave us the strength to crawl back to camp and turn ourselves in. Sure, we were confined to camp for a moon but the thing is, StarClan wanted to save us. Also, they seemed to want the foxes out just as much as we do and the next day, a single patrol drove them out. StarClan was definitely watching over the clan. And they'll watch over you too."

Bramblestar laughed. "I remember that. You two were such mousebrains" she laughed again batting the tom over the head softly with her paw.

(I can take Haze ) Willowmist listened to her clanmates stories, wishing she had one of her own. Sadly, Willowmist was not born in the clans and never grew up with stories of Starclan. She has a hard time believing that her ancestors are in the stars, but she tries to believe in them for her mother. She watched as all the cats' eyes lit up with admiration for Starclan.

"We were," Brightfall agreed. "But StarClan saved us." He glanced upwards, knowing that StarClan was watching.

(hey guys, sorry I haven't been able to keep up. where are we at rn?) (Bramblestar and the rest of the Seedclan warriors accompanying her are at the Twoleg Village barn where they've met Coal, his sister Snow, her newborn kits Scratch, Haze, and Frost, as well as her mate Grunt. Grunt seems to be abusing Snow and Bramblestar has offered to take Coal, Snow, and her kits in to protect them from Grunt and raise them in the warrior way. To interest them and introduce them to Seedclan, Bramblestar and Brightfall tell the loners stories of Starclan and life as a Seedclan cat. All the while Coal and Petalfoot interact a lot)

Spottedpaw looked up to the sky, and nodded to Shrewface. “I hope not, I love the snow but hate the cold!” She said with a shiver.
Tigerstripe helped mark the border. “Snow makes me stick out, unless I stay in the shadows. I guess it’s good some cats are white.” He also look up to the sky. “I hate snow..” He grumbled to himself.

Smokewind laughed. "Oh come on you grump it's not all bad" he purred as he tossed a small snowball at the large tom's side.

Petalfoot purred as she watched Bramblestar and Brightfall laugh feeling glad that her leader seemed to be the most relaxed she’s been since the fox attack.
Shrewface twitched his whiskers in amusement when he saw snow fling on Tigerstripe, “Watch out, Smokewind is relentless with snow fights”

Smokewind grinned. "You know it" he laughed, bounding forward to stand beside Shrewface. "There's no need to be a stiff just because Bramblestar isn't here" he said as he nudged Shrewface playfully.
"Are there other customs in Seedclan?" Snow asked curiously. Bramblestar nodded. "Yes actually, one of the things we do to honor our dead ancestors is wave Dandelions and release the seeds into the air as recognition to life and growth" explained the Seedclan leader.

Shrewface cupped Smokewind around the ear playfully, "I'm not stiff!" he scooped up some snow and flung it at Smokewind and Spottedpaw, "I still remember my apprentice days!"
Petalfoot glanced at Coal to see his reaction to Bramblestar's words, "Well where do you think cats go when they die?" she asked curiously.

Coal paused, thinking for a moment before looking up. "I don't know" he admitted awkwardly. "I always thought about my siblings and parents and wonder if they'd be proud of who I am, but never where they were now". Coal felt nervous and almost bad as he admitted the truth, wondering about it more himself

(okay cool!)
Rainsong looked at the tom warmly, "I'm sure they are very proud of you." She mewed. Then, looking at his sister, "Both of you. It takes a strong mother to raise such fine kits. If you come back with us I can tell they will make fine warriors. And you as well," she added, with a nod.

Tigerstripe jumped in surprise,”Oh yeah?” He swiftly flung the biggest pawful of snow he could at Smokewind. “Take that!” He said, his tail lashing with excitement. I feel like an apprentice again.. he thought to himself. Spottedpaw shook out he fur. “Oh my, that’s cold!” She said, lightly kicking snow back at Smokewind. “I don’t wanna get sick!” (Foxleap looks so cute! )

Foxleap woke in her den with a jump. When did I fall asleep?! I must have been more tired than I thought.. She quickly walked over to the mother cat and Redkit. She gived some more water to the mother, and lightly put her paw over her wound to feel for heat of infection. She then slowly, so not to wake her, peeled off some of the bandages to get a better look.

Redkit yawned hearing Foxleap. She nuzzled her head into her mother's chest, looking for that familiar breathing, but found nothing. "Mama?" she murmured, nudging her again.
Snow paused for a bit and looked to her kits before looking back at Grunt. "Yes um-" she trailed off, seemingly thinking to herself. Coal padded over to his sister, giving her a quick lick on the forehead. "I think Frost is getting excited again" he said playfully as the black and white tortoiseshell pawed at her mother's belly.
Coal narrowed his yellow eyes and looked back at Rainsong and Petalfoot. "She needs time" he muttered quietly, careful not to let Snow hear.

Petalfoot felt her heart ache for Coal, “You had more siblings than just Snow?” She thought about losing her brother and couldn’t bare the thought of it, “I’m so sorry” she meowed softly

Petalfoot shuffles her paws, “I understand...we will be here when you are both ready” but she felt panicky as she thought about Redkit back at home realizing the frail kit doesn’t have much time

Bramblestar padded over to Petalfoot, pulling the gray warrior aside. "Petalfoot, Snow seems to be struggling with her family and Starclan still..." she stated flatly, thinking again to herself. "Did Coal mention anything about them by any chance?"

Post by ravenbreeze on Jan 6, 2018 12:52:27 GMT -5
Petalfoot sighed and shook her head, “He’s skeptical but I think he will do anything to keep his family safe” she glanced at the loners helplessly, “We need to take care of the bigger problem...” she flicked her tail at the large sleeping tom, “Grunt”

Bramblestar flattened her ears. "You're right. It's not easy to just get rid of him, but making Snow realize that she isn't safe here and that she and her kits would be safer somewhere else would make her want to leave and come with us, and to get her to Redkit" she paused and perked her ears, listening outside. "I'll be right back. Wait here with Snow and the others" she hissed before jumping down below the loft to pad outside the barn area

Petalfoot nodded and watched Bramblestar as the leader hurried off, she went over to Snow and purred at the she cat, “Would you like me to hunt for you?”

Post by Deleted on Jan 6, 2018 13:09:24 GMT -5
Snow smiled. "Yes that would be great actually thank you" she purred.
Coal padded over to Petalfoot. "Want me to hunt with you?" he asked.

Post by ravenbreeze on Jan 6, 2018 13:10:47 GMT -5
Petalfoot nodded to Coal, “Sure, you can show me where your best hunting spots are” she meowed and have Coal room to lead the way.

Coal leaped down onto the barn floor, leading Petalfoot towards the corner where large amounts of hay were scattered around. "Mice love to burrow in the hay over here, but outside there are often rabbits eating the grass as well so both are good spots" he explained

Petalfoot sniffed the air and lowered her body to the ground as she slowly crept forward towards a rustling in the hay, with a giant leap she pinned down a squirming moused gave its bite to its neck. "Your turn!" she mumbled around the lifeless mouse

Post by Deleted on Jan 6, 2018 13:29:46 GMT -5
Coal lowered his body, his form not as polished as Petalfoot's, but still silent as he crept forward, eyeing the small mouse hidden in the hay. His paws were careful not to crunch on dry hay. He sprang forward, snapping the neck of the mouse and picking it up to show Petalfoot.

Petalfoot's eyes flashed, "Impressive, you're a natural Coal" she picked up her fresh kill and waved her tail at him, "How long have you lived in this place?" she asked

Coal thought a bit. “Probably about 3 moons” he admitted. “We, I mean Snow and I, had been traveling for days and needed a place to rest, and we found here. Grunt wasn’t too kind when he found us but well we’ve been here since” he admitted, looking away slightly. “S-Should we bring these back?”
