Vixenheart | Camp | Foxfrost & Thunderlight | Aphelyon & @stitchlover20
The russet furred she-cat was excited for her sister. She wanted to make it a special night for her sister. Although as soon as the Riftclan leader came over she felt her ears grow hot from embarrassment. Although she thought she would let her sister talk and sit her rump on the ground. She gave a purr once Foxfrost she was expecting kits and Vixenheart looked at her leader wondering what his reaction was going to be. She hoped he would be happy with the news and get out of his funk a little bit. She wondered what he would say. The anticipation was killing her but she wanted to remain patient.
{I think that would be really cute Prince if they did that for each-other. So I approve XD}

TimeSkip Riftclan / 3 Moons Later
The week passed by with patrols being done, prey running abundantly throughout the territory, and no signs of the other two clans. Foxfrost's pregnancy announcement brought great joy to the RiftClan leader, but also great stress from their previous litter who had died quite early while also the idea of his kits being the prophecy ones came to mind. Thunderlight started having his mate stay in the nursery at all times, telling cats to watch the den and bring her anything she needed when asked. Of course most of the clan didn't appreciate his drastic measures to keep his mate and kits safe when their own medicine cat assured him nothing will go wrong. Wolfshadow and Vixenheart even announced later on they were expecting kits which brought joy to RiftClan knowing they are thriving well. It seemed as though nothing could go wrong and peaceful times were in the horizons.
A meeting was summoned between the clans weeks later by SummitClan's leader, Screechlight. The tom explained to them about the death of his deputy and mate, Ashbird, who had been murdered by someone. Screechlight believes a RiftClan or GrottoClan cat was the suspect of this misdeed and demanded the punishment of whoever did it or war would fall upon them. Thunderlight rejected the notion that someone from his clan would dare kill a deputy and told Screechlight he would rather have war than kill someone who did nothing wrong. Not long after their meeting, patrols has been coming back with wounds from SummitClan warriors without reason to attack and even a battle happened besides Crystal Pool where RiftClan chased off the battle patrol. Thunderlight declared RiftClan to attack any SummitClan or GrottoClan cats who dare pass their territory or even try to speak with them. Rage boiled in his chest from the accusations by the leader and he began sending out his own patrols to challenge the other clans.
While the war goes on, Thunderlight has started to become more aggressive with his clan. Apprentices who weren't ready to become warriors were given their warrior names; Hollystorm and Coniferheart (can be changed). There are even kits who have been made apprentices when they are way too young to start training; Puddlepaw, Briarpaw, and Vixenheart's kits. Thunderlight believed if kits started training right away, they will become fierce warriors in no time and apprentices who have had the basics of training can be warriors. He has demanded battle training is more important than hunting and claws are highly recommended to be use during training sessions. Even teeth have been used. Elders will be doing regular warrior duties to strengthen their clan since they are experienced more than anyone else in the clan. They will be guarding the clan and catching prey for the clan while the other cats will be battle training.
Everyone was shocked by the sudden change in their clan due to the war. The clan had been split into three groups; those who oppose the ways Thunderlight has done, those who agree with the methods Thunderlight is using to keep their clan strong, and those who are in between. Tension is high in the camp walls between exhaustion from the intense training and the arguments arising from the three groups. The cats who had seen the murder of Breezelight are beginning to wonder if it's time to speak up against their leader or not. Thunderlight has even started to spy on cats who he believes may betray him and has told the clan he will ban anyone who goes against his words.
While everyone has been worried about the war between the clans and Thunderlight's brutal leadership, one of their elder's, Specklefern, had fallen quite ill. He has been in the medicine cat den for a week now with a fever, difficult breathing, and loss of appetite. No one knows what the disease could be and more cats has started to show symptoms of the mysterious illness. Minkfur and Cherrypaw are at a loss as they tried different herbs they know to try curing the sick cats, but to no avail. During these difficult times, they are worried it will spread and kill RiftClan if the Ancestors doesn't show them a sign soon.
Thunderlight and Foxfrost announced the birth of their kits; Brightkit, Snakekit, Specklekit, and two others (one is in the making and other hasn't been named. Aphelyon, what name did you have in mind for your kit?). They are quite young, the age of 3 moons, and have been living in the world of war.

(hrm yeah I forgot I hadn't named him haha. Well, he was born a bit small and sickly so maybe she called him Bravekit, to try and give him strength or whatever.)

Vixenheart | Warriors Den | Wolfshadow | Starchaser |
The russet furred warrior stirred a bit from her slumber. She was still quite exhausted but she gave a warm purr when she felt her mate's muzzle touching her. "How are you?" she asked she tried to sound strong for her mate but her, unfortunately, it didn't happen. She was mostly tired from stress due to Thunderlight's panic. "Once I'm better I have to give him a piece of my mind," she hissed. She hated what he had done her kits are too young to be apprentices. She frowned unhappily and looked at her mate with worry. "He's going to be the end of us, it's either him or this illness." She snuggled against her mate's pelt feeling the warmth of his love. Although she knew what would happen if she confronted their leader she would be exiled but in her eyes, it might be a risk she would have to take.
{It's okay Star :3}

Vixenheart | Warriors Den | Wolfshadow | Starchaser
The russet furred she-cat was on edge and looked at her mate with worry. "I worry about our kits, our future, everything is spiraling into chaos. I don't know what to think about any of this," she stated she was angry at Thunderlight he was no longer the cat he used to be and she didn't understand. That's what bothered her she didn't know what to make of any of this. The only thing she saw was a mess and now with the illness, she worried more about her kits. They were susceptible to getting sick and it made her fur bristle and she growled under her breath. "If anything happens to them he better hope I have enough restraint to not lay a claw on him," she said. She didn't care if any of his followers were listening to her. She hoped they would tell him so she could at least try and reason with him of how this is. But he is already halfway gone.

The russet furred warrior looked at her mate with a grateful look in her eye as he told her would watch over them. "Thank you, I will as well once I'm better and Foxfrost's kits as well." She then thought of her sister's kits and she growled. She had to ease herself she wanted to check on her sister but she didn't have any energy to do so. She sighed and looked at her mate. "I worry about Foxfrost as well. The poor dear is probably under the same stress as I am," she said. She tried to get up and be strong but she ended falling again. Her body still ached and her muscles wanted to rest. She leaned against Wolfshadow letting out a mew of frustration. She missed being out there and yet she was angry.

{ Vixenheart } Early Morning Warriors Den The russet furred she-cat purred when her mate he reassured her and licked the top of her head. She felt lucky to have him he was such a sweetheart to her. When she was alone again she had looked at her sister. I'll talk to you when I get back up. She then rested her head on her paws and went back to sleep and tried to relax. She also thought talking to her friends Silenthowl and Stonestep, they probably would give her some company and keep her thoughts positive. coding & icon image by officialrainleafwcf

Thunderlight / Leader's Den / Wolfshadow StarchaserA pair of yellow eyes appeared from inside the dark den as a large black and white tom emerged to stand in front of Wolfshadow. The eyes were gleaming with excitement as he nodded a greeting to his brother. "Ah, just the tom I've been looking for!" Thunderlight exclaimed before waving his thick tail in the air. "I have a great plan to train all the apprentices with the younger ones and have the more experienced cats show them battle moves." It seemed obvious the leader didn't seem to care about the murmurs of disgust and glares towards him due to his tactics. Many times has his brother came to him and demanded to rethink what he's been doing, but would brush it off as if it was nothing. All these young cats were perfect to become the best warriors in the history of RiftClan if they kept this up. He even had planned on making his own kits start training pretty soon and he felt that they were the ones who would fulfill the prophecy. If the entire clan went to battle with SummitClan, they will be able to take over the whole mountain and soon go after GrottoClan. Years ago the clans were one until they rebelled and he felt sure the clans were meant to become one again. Even if it means by force, he thought with a slight smirk. Snowstep / Camp / StarterSnowstep sat alone with her tail laid neatly on her paws and her pelt perfectly groomed. She spent most of the morning working on her pelt since blood and dirt had gotten on it from battle sessions. Thunderlight wanted everyone to practice every day until they were injured and had to see the medicine cat. It made her muscles burn from the on going fights between clan mates and she didn't know if she could handle it anymore. It felt difficult to harm another clan mate especially when they were suppose to use claw and tooth. A shiver ran down her spine as she thought about the possibility of someone becoming severely injured and dying. She closed her eyes slowly and tried to control her breathing. Maybe she can go fishing sometime and bring back food for Vixenheart. Her friend had kits and she knew the queen may be still recovering. Slight jealously twinged in her heart and wished she had a mate to be with at these times. Leopardfur / Warriors' Den / StarterEven though everything seemed bleak for the cats in RiftClan, Leopardfur kept a smile on his face and a bounce in his step. He stretched out in his nest before sitting up straight to see who was left in the den. Perhaps a fellow den mate would like to go hunting with him or do something else fun to take the tension off him. He felt sorry for those who couldn't look on the bright side of things and wished cats saw his perspective. Even though kits were becoming apprentices too soon, it gives them a chance to become stronger and serve their clan well when they are warriors. Battle training were tough, but their strength has increased immensely and new moves can be discovered. The spotted tom let out a purr of pride by his optimism before stepping out of his nest and into the opening of the den to peak out. Sandpaw / Apprentice Den / Starter
Anger rose inside the small apprentice as she glared directly at the warriors' den. It wasn't fair that some of her den mates had been made warriors and Thunderlight didn't even let herself be one. She had trained pretty hard and made sure to listen to her mentor, well mostly. Sandpaw let out a loud sigh before flopping onto her side and laying her cheek onto the dirt. The idea of leaving camp by herself and attacking a SummitClan warrior by herself has crossed her mind often. Everyone would be so astonished by her actions that surely they'll have to give her warrior name and maybe even make a feast in her honor. A slight meow of laughter rose from her before rolling onto her back and staring at the sky.

(So are Foxfrost's kits apprentices already or not? I'm a little confused right now. But going with the Thunderlight-starter I guess they are still kits but will become apprentices soon? Unless I misinterpreted what you meant, Stitch.)Embermask Elders' Den
/starter
Embermask sat outside the elder's den and watched her clanmates. She had seen Wolfshadow bringing a rabbit and leaving it at the freshkill pile. And then she had seen him going to Thunderlight, probably to talk with him. A rabbit wasn't much but the old she-cat was grateful for any prey that her clanmates brought back to camp. It didn't change the fact that hunting was now entirely up to the elders but Embermask apreciated any kind of help. Maybe she could thank Wolfshadow later, after he had talked to Thunderlight. She would have to be careful that no one overheard her doing so, though. Regardless, the clan needed more prey. She would have to go out and hunt soon.
Silenthowl Camp
/Snowstep @stitchlover20
Silenthowl was pacing around near the leader's den, wondering what crazy plans Thunderlight had for the clan today. With kits becoming apprentices too soon and elders having to guard the clan and even having to hunt, how much worse could things get? But maybe the worst thing was that some cats were fully supportive of Thunderlight's decisions. No one could talk openly about their concerns and opposing Thunderlight was impossible. Even now the warrior tried to be careful around the leader and his supporters. No point in angering those cats, it would make everything even worse.
There had been a few times when they had tried to speak out against Thunderlight, one time even in front of the whole clan, to everyone's surprise. When Vixenheart's kits became apprentices Silenthowl had stood up for their friend's little ones. It hadn't changed anything, of course and Thunderlight had become even more wary of them. Maybe if they had threatened to reveal Thunderlight's secret... but would anyone believe them, especially after keeping quiet about it for so long? And even if they did, wouldn't they just blame Silenthowl and the others who knew about it for the situation the clan was in now? The whole thing could have been prevented if everyone knew that Thunderlight became leader by killing Breezelight. That Thunderlight wasn't the rightful leader. No, that's not true, they thought. Thunderlight had been approved by the ancestors, after all. So he was the rightful leader. Why did they make him leader? They know what he did. As far as Silenthowl knew the Eternal Lights hadn't revealed anything yet. Otherwise Minkfur and Cherrypaw would have told the clan by now. Did that mean that even the ancestors agreed with Thunderlight's methods?
When Wolfshadow came over to the leader's den, probably to talk with Thunderlight, Silenthowl padded away from there to be anxious somewhere else. Or maybe to find something useful to do. They looked around for a bit and when they spotted Snowstep they walked over to her. They sat down near her but not right next to her in case she didn't want any company right now.

Coniferheart riftclan camp | early morning | starter
Coniferheart sat in the middle of camp, watching from the shadows as her clanmates woke up and wandered around. She didn't understand the tense atmosphere that had erupted over the past moons- sure war was bad, but what cat couldn't handle a few SummitClan warriors?
But she also knew many cats were upset about the new apprentices. Sure they were a little young, but she didn't she see the fault in wanting to start training earlier. These cats were going to grow up in a war, they needed to be highly skilled fighters if they were to survive. And despite Thunderlight's "claws out" decree, she knew most mentors wouldn't harm their young apprentices. They knew better than to be rough with a cat that young.
If there was anything to be offended about- it was the creation of warriors. She had suffered through moons of training- and yet her sister would be given her warrior name having only done half of the work. That was unfair.

Hmm, that is confusing. I was hoping his kits would be still young but doesn’t make sense if Wolf’s kits are apprentices at moment. Maybe their kits aren’t and will be at the same time Thunder’s will be? Unless you guys think I should have prophecy kits be apprentices right now))

(Hm. The easiest solution would be that Thunderlight is kinder to his kits at first for whatever reason. In one of the starting posts it says that Thunderlight teaches his kits how to fight since they're old enough to walk and talk. Maybe he didn't trust anyone to train his kits properly at first but now he's starting to find trustworthy mentors for them?)

(Also, keep in mind that those are the leader's kits and the chosen ones. Given how special they are maybe he thinks they deserve special treatment. Or he doesn't want them to interact with their clanmates too much just yet since he doesn't want them to be "corrupted" by "untrustworthy" cats. Also, he might want to test how well his new training methods work before his own kits are really trained. The other kits/apprentices aren't "important" enough, after all so training them might be a good experiment. If he's satisfied with the training of Vixenheart's kits then he'll know those methods are "good enough" for his and Foxfrost's kits.)

Birchtalon// Riftclan Camp// Open
Birchtalon stirred in his nest as his clanmates begin to wake also. With a huff, the large brown and white tom slowly lifted his head looking around the den, normally more cats would be already awake out the den and going on the patrols but now times in Riftclan was different. After Screenlight of Summitclan declared war on the other clans, Thunderlight wasted no time forcing his strict new rules on the clan, his behavior just worsen over the 3 moons and now every cat was doing nearly everything against the warriors code.
Birchtalon pulled himself out his nest wincing at the old wound on his shoulder that still stung, padded over to entrance before slipping out adjusting his eyes to the sunlight as it broke into camp, Birchtalon shot a glare toward Thunderlight's den holding back a growl, between the frequent attacks from Summitclan on the borders and Grottoclan attacking at night, life in Riftclan was crumbling down. Kits apprenticing early was by far the most mouse brain thing Thunderlight has done and making everyone work to the point of exhaustion.
On top of that the clan was divide between who supported Thunderlight's actions and against him, Birchtalon was completely against Thunderlight now even back when he shared the secret of Breezelight's death he was against Thunderlight but now Birchtalon was regretting not speaking up maybe that would've stop Thunderlight from ruling like a Tyrant, like Breezelight. Birchtalon scanned the clan noticing the fresh kill pile, it wasn't completely empty but it wasn't full either. Sighing Birchtalon looked around for cats to go on patrol with, anyone who wouldn't collapses at a moments notice.
Sagebranch//Riftclan Camp//Open
Sagebranch emerging from the warriors den. She let out a low moan as she stretched her stiff joints and limbs. The crisp early morning air chilled her fur and pads, the few from the leaves and bushes coating her fur. Even after turning in a little early last night, Sagebranch was still feeling tried, the clan was in the same state before when Breezelight was leader and attacks from Summitclan and Grottoclan wasn't helping one bit. The black smoke she cat held back another yawn before sitting down wiping the sleep from her eyes, everything was in disarray being divide between Thunderlight as for herself, Sagebranch was neutral of course she didn't like the idea of Kits apprenticing early or the elders returning back to warrior duties.
It was madness, even a part of her wondered how the other clans was fairing. They might be at war with each other but not cats should have to go through this, Sagebranch felt a ting of sadness for Screenlight, he started this war over the death of his mate and any cat could understand his anger but he was going to far with the attacks on the clans, sighing Sagebranch slightly wished life in the clans would go back to normal maybe the Ancestors would send other sign or something to stop it all.

I was thinking and I don't think Thunderlight cares if the training is too harsh on the prophecy ones. He believes if they're truly the ones in the prophecy then they can endure anything he throws at them and wants them to get stronger by intense training. Or at least that's what I'm thinking)
