←《GrottoClan Timeskip》→
deep in the caverns, grottoclan never took any blatant actions. not decades ago, when they retreated into the tunnels with a promise of revolution. not when they found their home in the caves, neglected by light. not when their leader died, leaving them under the paws of a cat more concerned with his appearance than the wellbeing of the clan. not when an apprentice broke their leg. not when summitclan declared war on both riftclan and grottoclan.
well… that did cause them to bat an eye.
glowlight vehemently denied any wrongdoing on his part, insisting that screechlight look among his own ranks first. of course, that didn't change anything. the battle begun anyways. and, of course, grottoclan reacted to it as they always did.
with subtlety.
←《◇》→
three moons later…
←《◇》→
glowlight's actions since the beginning of the war have been… slim, to say the least. for the most part, life in grottoclan has changed little. the few changes that have occurred are noticable, though: aboveground battle practice, permanent watches on the clan's main entrance, and an increase of attention on combat training for apprentices.
the clan makes no outright war. they defend themselves when provoked, reclaim territory if it is lost, and remain ready for action. conservative, as in all things.
then there are the night raids.
in the depths of night, as other clans rest, small patrols of warriors are sent up through narrow tunnels to various points on summitclan and riftclan territory. there, they attack all other cats they see, steal prey, and memorize the area. yes, make summitclan and riftclan believe each other are raiding one another. that is glowlight's plan. then, once they are weakened, the revered prophecy kit will swoop in and lead the patrol to permanently conquer them.
this kit is _. only two moons old, glowlight has taught them how to behave since they were little. the kit sleeps safely in the leader's den, tucked away from the rest of the clan except when their father is out. all thought of the rest of glowlight's family is gone in his mind. only _ matters. not either of their… disappointing littermates, or their worthless mother.
perhaps the only thing that worries glowlight is the lack of new warriors. only stonepaw became a warrior, his brother still recovering from the injuries that came from his fall and catching up on his training. glowlight gave him the name of stonefall. because of course he did.
ah, but there were new apprentices. twilightpaw, cavernpaw, and paintedpaw should make good warriors in time. their mentors were chosen to be crystalstep, applewillow, and koidrop, respectively. hopefully some of the older apprentices could help lead them in their training.
and should the worst befall the clan, glowlight has a plan for this as well. a cave, discovered some time ago by nightwhisper, should serve as a perfect backup camp should they need to retreat further into the caves. a small group would be dispatched shortly to investigate the area, and to bring down some emergency supplies to store.
as always, grottoclan remains quiet. they change slowly, and many things remain the same. but the tides of battle are turning, and the halls of stone tremble in anticipation. soon will be their time to strike. soon they will rise from the ground.
soon grottoclan will once again be one with the light.

((Yeah, spelunkers usually mentor spelunkers, so Lostwater probably was Nightwhisper's mentor!))
((And... hm. Glowlight definitely doesn't hold a ton of respect for Applewillow anymore, but I feel like maybe he's kinda okay with Nightwhisper? He didn't give her a bad name, so that's something. I wouldn't say he loves her, but I feel like he's distantly affectionate, if that's a thing. Like he's glad she's down in the caves because if she wasn't he'd be fed up with her very easily, but he can kinda respect the job she's doing. Even if it's something he doesn't think is necessary right now. Glowlight probably likes Nightwhisper better than Cinderspeck at least. Grottokit is defo taking up most of his time though.))

these starters are weak xD but i needed to post something, otherwise i am not going to.
according to the joining page; rain's kits are flinch (or is it finch??) & minkkit
Flintmask with open / [ tags ] mentions: tigerstalk or their boat-load of kits xD A soft groan escaped from the tom's maw, his shoulder still felt like it was aching. The older warrior was a border patrol when a Summitclan patrol had attacked them. One of their warriors had gotten a good scratch on his shoulder. He slowly pushed himself to his paws and picking his way through the nests. Flintmask stepped out of the warrior's den and his green gaze flickered around camp; instinctively looking for his mate or one of sisters.
Shyrabbit with open / [ tags ]
The light brown tabby let out a soft yawn and she rolled over onto her back, stretching out her limbs. Shyrabbit was content to relax in the camp; especially with everything going on outside of the territory. Summitclan's leader thought that Grottoclan was responsible for his mate's death and that was absurd. Shyrabbit would admit that Glowlight's plan of Grottoclan using the tunnels to sneak into other clan's territory was genius.
Rainfrost with open / [ tags ]
The queen shifted in her nest and picked up her head as she heard rustling outside of the den. Her green eyes narrowed in the dim of the den. Her gaze shifted down to her sleeping kits and she let out a soft sigh. They were beautiful and strong, no matter what their father thought about them. Her gaze couldn't help but darken at that thought; Glowlight decided that only one of the three was worth his time. Rainfrost pushed herself to her paws carefully and run her tail along her kit's backs in a smoothing manner. She let out a soft purr before padding out of the nursery. Her stomach was rumbling. She needed to eat, if she was going to keep her milk supply. The queen knew that her two kits weren't ready to start eating solid foods just yet.

《So the kits are here now! Yay! Sorry I'm a little late to the party on that one. Also how old are we having the kits be at the momemt?》
•◇Flinchkit◇• Nursery || Open Having been burrowed into her mother's belly sleeping soundly, it was quite the shock when suddenly the warmth had all but disappeared. The little kits pale brown body began to shake, not necessarily because she felt cold but also utterly alone. A tiny cry quickly escaped her as she nuzzled through the bedding eventually finding her sister. At first Flinchkit was hesitant to pressing into Minkkit but finally her desperation to find comfort and warmth won over. Atleast while mother was away she had her sister.

{ Aphelyon We could have Nightwhisper and Lostwater finally interact, if you want. I just realized that Lostwater also probably would have been Night's mentor, considering he's the only other spelunker right now. Not certain if that's how training works in the Clan, but I think it's something to consider. } (Yeah I like that. He's kind of aloof and very "I work alone" so that would have been an... interesting dynamic. I had actually wanted him to get an apprentice at some point in the roleplay and have to like "work through that" but I guess he can just have been a bit of a prickly mentor instead XD but yeah they can certainly do something if you like! Either running into each other in the caves somewhere, or just interacting in camp, catching up and such? Seems like they're gonna all be going to the crystal cave at some point too.)

Leopardshine| Camp| Open
Leopardshine pulled himself out the warrior's den shaking out fur before letting out a yawn and arching his back as he stretched. Leopardshine looked around camp seeing a few cats awake already, it was a normal day in the camp but aboveground not so much, for the past three months Summitclan have been attacking them after Ashbird's death, it mouse brain for Screechlight to think anyone from Grottoclan would kill her and now the clans were at war luckily for Grottoclan the two clans aboveground seem to be tearing each apart more, living in tunnels was giving the clan advantage for the others. The spotted tom settled himself down wrapping his tail around his paws wondering if any patrols would be going aboveground today.
Applewillow| Camp | Open
Applewillow laid in a corner of the craven brushing her tail along the ground noticing the movement from her clanmates as they exited the dens. Applewillow glaze flicked around the camp mostly between the nursey and Glowlight's den, now personally Applewillow never hold a grudge against any kit fathered by Glowlight but against the tom himself that was different. Apart of Applewillow hoped no other she cat would have to deal with him but that was far too late and now Glowlight seemed to be hovering over only one kit from Rainfrost's litter giving them special attention. With a huff, Applewillow sat up stretching ready to start her day off probably with training her apprentice or something it would be better spending her time providing for the clan instead of thinking of her mouse brain ex-mate.

{ Speckledflower} Morning Grottoclan Camp The milky white she-cat excited out of the warrior den. She stretched out her back legs, she gave a purr and looked at the fresh-kill pile. She padded towards it surveying the prey. She saw some mice, shrews, and a little bit of fish. Her tail wiggled a bit as she grabbed a blackfish from the pile and started to eat it. She thought about going hunting to give back what she had taken although it looked like the pile was doing okay she still wanted to get some work done. As she ate she looked around the camp wondering who to ask to go hunting. Although she could also go see the medicine cat see if they need some help. coding icon image by officialrainleafwcf

Bumbleflower
Home Camp, Nursery Den| Early Morning| Flinchkit and Minkkit
Bumbleflower was awakened by movement, her eyes opening to see Rainfrost getting up and exiting the nursery den. Snuggling right next to Bumbleflower, Slugkit was fast asleep with his tail tucked under his nose. He was getting too big for snuggling so close, but for now his mother tolerated it a bit longer, knowing that these moments would probably be for the last time for a while, or ever.
As Rainfrost disappeared, Bumbleflower debated on following, knowing that in the coziness of the nursery there wasn't any danger in leaving a few kits unattended for a mere moment. Her gaze turned to Rainfrost's kits nestled in the bedding. While they weren't her own young, Bumbleflower felt the same sort of protective instinct towards them that she did to her own children. Careful not to awaken her son, she craned her neck to give the two kits a few investigative sniffs. They seemed to be growing well and strong; a far cry from what their father claimed.
The poor family deserves a better tom. She was grateful that Newtfoot had always been faithful through every litter. Some cats just weren't as lucky.
Sighing, Bumbleflower settled back into her nest, deciding to stay and watch Rainfrost's kits until she came back. She didn't have anything of importance to do anyways. There was only one thing that needed to be done.
"Here, Slugkit, why don't you go play somewhere for the day?" Bumbleflower nudged her sleepy son up to his paws. "Don't give me any kind of look; you need to get up and stretch your legs."
"Okay, Mommy," came the quite reply. Slugkit looked disappointed but he didn't object as he stood up and began to crawl out of the nursery den. Bumbleflower didn't bother to tell him to stay in the camp; the kit was too timid to entertain going out into somewhere he wasn't sure was safe. It made parenting and trusting him all the more easier.
With the den a little less crowded, Bumbleflower stood up and walked over to the two kits before settling down and curling up around them to keep them warm for the meantime.
Slugkit
Home Camp | Early Morning | Paintedpaw| Starchaser
Slugkit didn't really want to go outside with his mother, but if there was one thing he knew in his incredibly short lifespan, it was not to go again what your mom's commands. So without any backtalk, the young cat cleared house and went outside. Now that he was outside, he wondered what he could do or who he could talk to. Was his father around? Or maybe his sister, or his sister’s children? The tabby looked around but could not see Newtfoot nor Tigerstalk anywhere as of yet.
I'll have to find someone else to play with!
"Ha!" A voice was crying out and Slugkit stopped dead in his tracks to look at the source. He could see Paintedpaw was the one making the noise, mashing her paws in something and making quick flashes of her paws in the air. His head cocked to one side in confusion and interest as he observed her. What was she doing? Was that a warrior move? He had to go and investigate or it would keep him up all night!
Scampering over, the kit crossed the camp to get to the apprentice, slowing down to an awkward gait as he drew closer, not sure if Paintedpaw would act nice or mean to him. When the tabby was finally close to her, he began to speak.
"H...hi." Oh no, he thought, that was too quiet! He spoke up a bit louder. "Hi. What're you doing?"

NIGHTWHISPER || GROTTOCLAN TERRITORY || EARLY MORNING || LOSTWATER (Aphelyon ) Nightwhisper hurtled down the new tunnel she had discovered, her paws barely skimming the stone floor. The molly was feeling quite proud of herself today- after all, finding and charting two new tunnels in just one night was no easy feat. Unless you were Nighwhisper. The young warrior had always felt at home deep underground, far from her Clanmates and all the conflict that came with them. The darkness and isolation were comforts to her. Far more so than her family or any friends she might make. In fact, Nightwhisper spent much more of her time away from camp than in it, often taking multi-day trips into the depths of the caverns. Though all of GrottoClan was used to living underground, not many of them understood her affinity for spelunking, which was likely why so few of them existed, but Nightwhisper had known her calling from the start.
Suddenly shaken from her thoughts by another figure walking just ahead, Nightwhisper skidded to a halt, panting lightly. "Hello, Lostwater," she greeted, shaking dust out of her pelt. Her old mentor had always been the quiet, aloof sort, but Nightwhisper didn't mind it much. If anything, it was nice having someone with such a paws-off approach. "Are you excited about the exploration patrol?" she asked after a moment, trying to make polite conversation. "I heard you were going to join it. Our illustrious leader is supposed to be sending one, finally." Nightwhisper couldn't hide her distaste for Glowlight if she tried. Not that she wanted to.
Lostwater had been wandering the tunnels a bit aimlessly for some time, keeping his senses open for somewhere he hadn't been before, tunnels and caves and crevices he hadn't yet explored. He hadn't found a whole lot today except for one small crevice, which in turn presenting nothing interesting besides a small trickle of water. The lack of progress left him in a bit of a sour mood, especially what with all the other turmoil going on- typically, the solitude of the tunnels and the thrill of discovery was his refreshment. The tunnels that were more largely unexplored were deeper, but with the amount of time it took to climb that deep, let alone find something new and explore it, was too much for him to take right now. He knew that Glowlight would be sending them on a special expedition soon enough, and so vanishing for days at a time was not an option. Which was rather unfortunate considering it was about the only thing the hairless tom would like to do at the moment.
He heard the sound of paws from farther down the tunnel and paused, recognizing them as a cat- and as they neared, as his former apprentice, Nightwhisper- before he looked over his shoulder to see the young she-cat. See, of course, being a rather strong word in the darkness of the underground, especially with as dark as Nightwhisper's pelt was. She looked rather more a vaguely cat-shaped void in the darkness, with only her round blue eyes and the white patches on her chest and chin at all visible. He waved his tail in greeting as she spoke, though he didn't initially respond; he found the loud echo of voices to be rather jarring in the otherwise silent caves.
Regardless, he couldn't help but twitch his whiskers at her comment about Glowlight. While the warrior didn't hold particular animosity towards their leader as, well, a leader, he wasn't particularly fond of him as an individual, especially with Nightwhisper having been his apprentice. Even as much as Lostwater avoided the general gossip of the Clan, a trail of broken hearts and abandoned kits was difficult to ignore, or justify. Under normal circumstances, the furless tom would be more upset about the character of the cat largely representing his Clan, but what with the recent war he had begun to think that the entire world was utterly mousebrained and perhaps it didn't matter so much whether one cat was or not. So, he retreated to the tunnels instead, for as long as intervals as he dared.
"I'm not sure what Glowlight expects out of it," Lostwater answered with a low, quiet voice. "I'm very interested to know what we'll find there, but I think he expects it to be a little more.... well, tactical, than it's likely to be," he answered. Of course, there was nothing wrong with discovery for the sake of discovery- that's what he was all about- but he felt as though Glowlight, like everyone else, was so caught up in this war business that they wanted everything to relate back to it. While he had no doubt the cave would be wondrous, but he felt that Glowlight and some of the other more war-hungry warriors would be a bit disappointed by the spelunkers' findings, especially since it seemed many cats tended to think of the tunnels as little more than damp stones and darkness, and not particularly something- crystals or no- that would be incredibly useful in ushering in some new era among the Clans. But, he had been surprised before. Well, not really, but he assumed it was possible.
(okay so even in tone of narration, Lostwater ended up being very cynical lmao)
