Applepaw ~ Camp ~ With Peachpelt (spaceotterr<3 )"Oh, nothing much," Applepaw chirped back, shaking her fur out until it lay flat again. She smiled up at the Medicine Cat, tilting her head with a grin. "I was gonna go find Redstorm and see if he needed me for anything, but it's been kinda slow today." Applepaw paused, thinking. She looked curiously at Peachpelt before asking, "Do you need any help, Peachpelt? I'm sure Redstorm wouldn't mind if I spent some time helping you.” “You’re helping the clans medicine cat, you are helping out. Most apprentice’s I meet have to be told to help.” She meowed happy that this apprentice was more enthusiastic to help her.

Applepaw ~ Camp ~ With Peachpelt (spaceotterr<3 )Apple bounced happily. "I like to help!" She asserted, grinning at Peachpelt, "I want to be the best Warrior ever, and good Warriors do everything they can for their Clan!" She paused and then continued as if repeating something another cat told her, "Medicine Cats are very important. We must respect them and do what they say. We must help them when we are strong, for they help us when we are weak." She beamed, happy at remembering it all. “You will be the greatest warrior.” She purred.” Wow I thought only senior warriors knew that saying. Not many cats realize of how important we are to help them, not in hierarchy but in health.” She meowed happy that some younger cats know.

Cherrypaw let out a silent sigh of relief. She was too nervous for any of this. She wasn't opposed to it but she was just afraid of messing things up. She eventually decides to watch was Foxpaw is doing, that may help her or something when the time comes.

Lycaonia BloodroseFlintstar nodded to Foxpaw as she spoke up, looking along the invisible barrier as she told the others to go about freshening their border. She then went about setting one of the new markers. As she did, Mudpaw practically hopped over to Foxpaw, looking up at her and whispering "How does it feel to know you'll be a warrior soon?" The other apprentices still had a ways to go, at least two moons, though at least Mudpaw seemed to have some enthusiasm going. "I still have to wait two moons," she grumbled, an ear twitching. Then, she looked as Flintstar spoke up "Also, you apprentices keep an eye out for prey. I expect you all to have at least tried a hunt by the time we get back to camp."

Foxpaw hummed lowly, deep in thought. ‘I’m nervous, but more than ready.’ She replied, twitching her whiskers. ‘And don’t worry- the two moon wait is worth it. You get all the practice and confidence in that you need.’ She perked up when Flintstar spoke to them, fluffing up her tail and chest fur. ‘Yes Flintstar.’ She turned her head, nose twitching as she searched for any prey-scents that might be lingering. After a moment, she wandered over to the leader. ‘What is Solarclan like?’ She asked, tipping her head to the side. The apprentice had never been to any gatherings- she’d either been in trouble, busy, or injured. She’d never even had a chance meeting on the border.

Applepaw ~ Camp ~ With Peachpelt (spaceotterr<3)"Mama told me that all the time when I was in the nursery," Applepaw replied, fluffing up her short fur in pride at Peachpelt's praise, "I think Mama was related to the last Medicine Cat, 'cause she always got all sad when she said it." Applepaw shook the thought from her head, bouncing on her paws. "So I'm happy to help if I can..." She paused, glancing up at Peachpelt, "So... Do you need help?" Ravencall and Iceheart ~ Border ~ With Flintstar and Mudpaw (Smokey Feather), Duskstorm and Foxpaw, (Bloodrose) and Cherrypaw (Voidastral)Iceheart tensed as she heard Foxpaw ask about SolarClan. Her usually impassive face twisted into a deep scowl as she turned her face sharply away from the Apprentice. Turning, she stormed away from the group, not wanting to listen to any discussions about SolarClan. Ravencall sighed, watching the younger Warrior leave, but didn't try to stop her. "Better not to ask any opinions about them around Iceheart," He remarked to his Apprentice as he moved to freshen the scent-marks, "She's not their biggest fan. Can't say I'm much of one myself." He snorted, shaking his head. "Mostly, they're just a Clan, like us. But many of us find certain... practices they follow to be unforgivable."

Lycaonia BloodroseFlintstar hesitated at Foxpaw's question. "SolarClan are... good cats, but they're... afraid." Her tail swished once, and she thought it over for a moment. "I sleep just fine sending everyone out to fend for themselves every Leaf Bare Hunt. I don't lose a wink of sleep over it. I'd rather you all run around, but SolarClan does not. They practice the Abandonment Ritual, surrendering one cat ever Leaf Bare to avoid more than one death. Just this last Leaf Bare, an apprentice named Rosepaw was put up for surrender, likely days before she was made a warrior." She looked down. "I would rather you all get slaughtered with the chance of surviving instead of just giving one of you up with no chance at all." Mudpaw listened with wide eyes. So they just... gave cats up? "And everyone's okay with just... leaving one of their own to die?" Flintstar shook her head. "Of course not, but they believe letting one cat die is better than risking multiple deaths." Just... she couldn't do something like that though.

Maybe you could tell me how your training is going on the way.” She suggested hoping the apprentice won’t be bored.

Cherrypaw said nothing, she'd heard things about Solarclan but most she'd only thought were rumors, however, this seemed to just further confirm them to be something much more sinister. Its kind of funny, solar is related to the sun which gives life but here Solarcaln is, abandoning and destroying it.

Foxpaw watched Iceheart leave, finding the she-cats reaction to be extremely immature. She listened to Ravencall, then turned to listen to Flintstar, her head cocked to the side. ‘How do they choose?’ She asked, studying their leader. ‘Did Rosepaw do something wrong?’

Cherrypaw thinks about turning to follow her mentor. She really does but she also doesn't know where the she-cat went and she's scared of getting herself lost or killed. So she remains with the group.

Bloodrose Voidastral LycaoniaFlintstar shook her head as she looked around, likely for prey. "The leader chooses. He's picked warriors, apprentices, elders, and even a medicine cat. There's even rumor he's surrendered cats even when the sun is not covered, which is how so many disappearances would be possible within the span of so few cycles. Blazestar never touches kits though... but he did threaten." It actually scared her to know he was willing to give away his clan's future to something so evil. When asked if Rosepaw did wrong, she almost snorted. No one could do enough to earn such a fate. "No... not really. From what I heard, she just broke one of the rules to the code, and not even a major one, more or less. Wanted to become a kittypet. Apparently she had been seeing one too. Screechfang, one of the warriors, said that her own mentor tricked her into going to the Bloody Redwood with him. Was either her or his daughter, who's an apprentice now I'm sure. Poor Rosepaw had no idea."

Foxpaw’s ears slowly flattened against her head as she listened, some of the fur on her back fluffing up. A medicine cat? And he’d threatened kids? Poor Rosepaw. She quietly looked down at her paws, shuffling them. ‘I’m sorry for asking.’ She mumbled, her tail dropping slightly until it was resting on the floor.

Flintstar shook her head again. "You would have found out eventually, through someone here or by asking at a gathering, as it is your right to know. They wouldn't hesitate to tell you. Some of them are happy to, and some of them see it as a cry for help, in my opinion, but I am not their leader. I can't help them, and I'm pretty sure none of us can fulfill our dream of murdering something said to be able to knock down trees." Managing a sad smile, she continued "Enough of that for now though. Let's continue our patrol, and see if you apprentices can catch some prey, hm?" She looked over at Mudpaw, who looked surprisingly depressed now. It was how many reacted. Either depressed, sad or angry.

‘Why don’t we just move?’ Fox asked, confused. ‘Or why don’t the clans join together to take down the monster?’ She waved her tail slowly in the air again, her head tilted. Duskstorm gently nudged mudpaw. ‘Pick your chin up. Come on- go show Flintstar what a good hunter you are.’

Flintstar hummed. "He uses nothing but primal instinct and strength. One would think that that gave us opportunity to just gang up on him, but it of course ended in disaster." As she watched Mudpaw nod and sniff the air, ears perking as she seemed to scent something, she continued "I have only seen him once, and he is... enormous, and even then it is likely not his full size. Stormsong always used to tell me of seeing three warriors snapped up in his maw as a mere fraction of a mouthful when he was young." She went quiet as Mudpaw kept off, then rushed. The brown apprentice disappeared into the bushes, only to come back with a vole.
Flintstar smiled warmly. "Good job, Mudpaw." As the younger cat smiled, she turned back to Foxpaw. "And, the previous leader, Oakstar, did indeed try getting the clans to just... attack, when I was younger. We lost ten. Blazestar even decided to try out his defiance and not surrender anyone. Thirteen cats from SolarClan, fourteen if you count one of Blazestar's lives. Moving has also been considered in the pass, but tales are only told by survivors."
Mudpaw looked up. "So we're just supposed to let ourselves be terrorized?" Flintstar sighed. "Well, we're all welcome to just go and talk to him, but... here we are. It is likely our words will do nothing anyway. He feeds off of fear almost as well as he does flesh. We are food to him, and it's likely that will never change."

Foxpaw narrowed her eyes. Something that big shouldn’t be eating cats. It should be hunting deer, or... dogs! Her train of thought was lost as a squirrel shot out from the underbrush. Her legs moved before her brain did, and she shot off after it, disappearing from the group. Duskstorm blinked, shaking his head. ‘Her mother should’ve named her windpaw.’ She was always blowing about, untamed. After a good five minutes, she came back, proudly hefting the squirrel along between her jaws. Duskstorm chuckled, glancing at Ravencall. ‘How did you cope?’ He asked, before praising Mudpaw for her catch, licking her ear affectionately.

Applepaw ~ Camp ~ With Peachpelt (spaceotterr<3 )"I can do that!" Applepaw chirped, bouncing on the spot. She was incredibly excited, as a young Apprentice she was still learning how to hunt and fight and therefore never got taken on any of the exciting missions. Besides, she couldn't wait to tell Redstorm how she helped, always seeking to make her Mentor proud. Ravencall and Iceheart ~ Border ~ With Flintstar and Mudpaw (Smokey Feather ), Duskstorm and Foxpaw, (Bloodrose ) and Cherrypaw (Voidastral )Iceheart huffed as she renewed the border markings she came across, scowling to herself as she padded along the border. Finally she stopped, sighing deeply and turning to stare at the sky. She knew it was a little immature of her to go storming off, especially on a patrol, but she couldn't help it. Ever since she had first heard of SolarClan's practices, she was uneasy about them. She had managed to put it aside to make friends at a gathering with another young Warrior, only to have his brother inform her at the next that he had been offered up as a sacrifice, speaking as if it had been a great honour. 'I hate them,' She hissed in her mind, fur bristling, 'Especially that fox-hearted leader!' Ravencall shook his head fondly at his Apprentice, puffing up proudly as she came back to the group with her catch. "Very well done," He murmured at her, nudging her gently. He grinned up at Duskstorm. "Mostly by keeping a good hold of her scruff and aiming her at the target," He joked, scrubbing a paw fondly over Foxpaw's head. He looked over at Cherrypaw, cringing slightly at remembering her mentor leaving. He decided to go over to the Apprentice and nudge her. "How are you, little one?" He purred, before lowering his voice. "She'll be back soon," He muttered, glancing the way the other Warrior had gone, "She just doesn't want to take her temper out on us."

She started to turn away slowly signaling for her to follow.” I bet redstorm will be happy to find you were helping me.” She said happily.

Lycaonia BloodroseFlintstar watched as Foxpaw darted off, chuckling softly. And she of course came back with a catch. "Well done, Foxpaw." She then found amusement as Mudpaw practically bathed in the small praise from her own mentor. She really was always happy-go-lucky. Turning away, she studied the gigantic redwood for another moment before saying "Alright, let's get the last of the markers set and get going. There's still a spot to hit before heading back." And mostly because she hated being by that dreaded tree, almost as much as the abandoned twoleg den. Tail flicking, she continued on her way. She could only assume that Iceheart would rejoin them on her own time.

((Hey guys, I'm back and feeling a bit better. I'll still be a bit slow as I regain my energy, but I should be back to replying regularly now ^^)) Applepaw ~ Camp ~ With Peachpelt (spaceotterr<3)Applepaw bounded along behind Peachpelt, following the Medicine Cat out of Camp. "Do you think so?" She chirped, almost starry-eyed at the thought of her Mentor's approval. She adored having the large Tom as a mentor. Some of it was that was he was Flintstar's brother, but mostly because he was such a respected Warrior and she wished to be like him so badly when she grew up. She shook out her fur, utterly delighted as she usually was. "What are we going for anyway, Peachpelt?" She asked, curious about the herbs Medicine Cats used. Ravencall and Iceheart ~ Border ~ With Flintstar and Mudpaw (Smokey Feather), Duskstorm and Foxpaw, (Bloodrose) and Cherrypaw (Voidastral)Iceheart stood, shaking out her pelt with irritated movements. She was still angry at SolarClan, but was mostly now irritated with herself. 'I should have better control,' She snarled silently, berating herself, 'See the example you're setting for Cherrypaw!' Determined to make up for her behaviour, at least a little, she took a few minutes to climb a tree and wait for one of the common sparrows to settle nearby. A quick pounce and twist of her head, and she was headed back to the patrol. She followed the scent back to her Clanmates, ears back as she rejoined them. She caught Flintstar's eyes, ducking her head in apology, before moving over to Cherrypaw. She nudged her shoulder gently against her Apprentice's, trying to say without words that she was sorry to storm off and leave her on an important trip. She'd give both the younger and older she-cats a proper apology when they returned to Camp. She caught Ravencall's eye when she saw him looking, but he just smiled at her in understanding and went to stand by Foxpaw.

Lycaonia BloodroseFlintstar looked over at Iceheart, head tilted for a moment before she slowed to be walking beside her. Paws pressing silently into the ground with each step, she spoke as if reading her mind. "I know we don't exactly like them, but SolarClan aren't the monsters. Not the real one anyway. Just remember that." The bordering clan also feared the same entity, so they were one in the same on that sense. Looking ahead, she took in the sight of their territory. And, she felt a slight chill run up her spine. Flintstar was sure that old twoleg den was there nearby. She didn't dare near it though. Didn't even consider going to look. "Maybe they'll come around once day, and be convinced to take up our practice of the hunt instead perhaps."

Peppermask~Camp~ with Streamwhisper(@🐟🐻Fishybear🐟🐻)
Peppermask limped out of the warrior's den, obviously just having woken up, her fur sticking up in random tufts. She paused just outside, licking her fur down in an attempt to tame it.

(Putting up some starters for my other characters now)
Mallowpaw~Forest Mallowpaw woke up in the middle of the night, fur bristling. He assumed he had a nightmare, though he couldn't remember what it was about. He pushed himself out of his nest, tentatively stepped over the bodies of the other apprentices. Once outside, Mallowpaw took a deep breath of the cool night air, forcing himself to relax. After a moment of thoughtful silence, he decided to go for a walk in the forest.
Junipertail~Camp Junipertail padded into camp, a pair of fresh-caught trout clamped in his jaws. He was obviously pleased with himself- eyes shining, tail held high- but he was also soaking wet. After laying the fish down in the kill pile, Junipertail shook himself in an attempt to get dry. All it really did was spray droplets of water at the other cats in the clearing.
