Shadowtrip sat on the egde of camp grooming himself. This was a common pastime of his, keeping his long, thick fur salt and pepper fur looking nice. He subtly glanced around camp, not really looking for anything,just giving his surroundings a quick once-over. Marmotpaw bounced around near the lake, practicing his hunting skills. He stalked up to a leaf an ppunced on it, catching it in his paws. (Sorry these are short but here are some starters) Galestorm // Camp // With Shadowtrip Galestorm too was also grooming his pelt, being such a narcissistic cat was a full time job because he always had to look his best. As he finished inspecting his pelt for any furs out of place the tom quickly glanced around the camp and his gaze fell upon Shadowtrip. Depending on which one of the pair you asked you would get two very different explanations of their relationship, Galestorm saw the other tom as an acquaintance at best but Shadowtrip seemed to believe them to be much closer then that. Sighed defetedly Galestorm made his way across the room towards the other guard, hoping that something else would come up but unfortunately no one initiated a conversation with him. Rolling his eyes the large tom sat down beside Shadowtrip, "Morning."Shadowtrip's eyes lit up as his best friend approached. "How did you sleep Galestorm? Well I hope. Would you like some breakfast?" he asked, talking a mile a minute in excitement to see the other tom. The two had been brought together by twolegs and they'd had a rocky relationship at first but after getting to know Galestorm, Shadowtrip was grateful and always looked forward to what he called their "buddy adventures".

Jadepaw//Camp//Starter
Jadepaw strolled into the Crestclan Camp, her claws scathing the coarse grass. Her plumy tail twitched with excitement, her unguis kneading the peaty soil, but in her gaze was a coldness that even the firiest spark couldn't burn. She trudged over to the Highrock, rolling her shoulders back and eliciting a contended purr. Despite her recent apprenticeship ceremony, Jadepaw was fully confident in her skills, as evidenced by the authoritative way she carried herself. As Jadepaw crouched below th Highrock, she imagined what it must be like to be leader. To be important, revered, to know inherently that you did something revolutionary with your life. Every leader was eminent in their position and actions, some even going so far as to modify territory and the Warrior Code.
I don't want to be a regular warrior, I want to be a leader! Jadepaw sighed, resting her head on her large, over-sized mitts. She couldn't imagine living like a warrior, carrying out the same mundane tasks on repeat. Nothing in a warriors life happened outside their duty. Even when they aspired to Starclan, they were remembered as just a warrior.
As Jadepaw descended down her pool of fantasies, she realized that she didn't even know what she wanted out of life. She definitively yearned for authority, that she knew. But what would she do with her power?
Hmm... maybe I'll apprentice kits early so we can bolster our militant ranks, or enact a treatise which allows the Clans to hunt on each others' territory provided they don't indulge themselves too much. Are any of those good ideas? If she was leader, would Jadepaw be able to maintain a firm grasp on her individual power?
It doesn't matter too much now.. She scoffed, lashing her frilled plume. Her expression was sour as she observed the warriors rising with the sunlight. I'm not one of you. I will never be. My life will have purpose. She relaxed the tuatness in her muscles and sighed. She would make her prophecy true. As long as she believed it, she could convince others to do the same. She would never dare to tread an easy, lackadaisical path. Her path would be grand, wrought with thorns and venomous snakes, but it would pave the way to a temple floating in Starclan. Just for her. A temple constructed of her legacy.
As she peered back at the other warriors, she felt her connection with them dwindle like a flame under water. I guess I could be one of them and lead an important life of my own. There's nothing wrong with hunting, patrolling, battling, or having friendships with other warriors.
Jadepaw slumped to the ground, her stomach twisting into knots. She had a lot of pondering, plotting, and experiments to carry out before she could adequately plan her future. She would make friends, hunt prey, excel in battling, and most importantly, be the cat she knew she was. Others would see it to, if she persuaded them smoothly enough.
She lay her head in the grass, giggling as the supple grass tickled her chin. For once in her life, an emerald nebula glittered in her eyes, before fading back to its ever-resting oblivion in a matter of moments. What was that? Her brain felt almost melty, as if it were a puddle of snow.
Jadepaw tossed those thoughts aside, banishing them to the Dark Forest. I'm going to focus on one thing for now, and that is making some nice friends. Maybe they'll have my back some day, or at least they think they will. Either way, it doesn't matter. Sashaying towards the Warrior's Den, Jadepaw wondered what ominous or odd acquaintances she would make. In a nonchalant voice, she trilled; "Greetings."

[Everything on the front page has been updated so far, please let me know if you see anything I missed or forgot]
Galestorm // Camp // With Shadowtrip As the other tom prattled on Galestorm stifled a yawn, it wasn't like he disliked the other guard but sometimes he just found himself very overwhelmed by him with maybe a sprinkling of dislike, but he couldn't disagree with the fact that Shadowtrip really did have a good heart. The corners of Galestorm's mouth turned up slightly as Shadowtrip finished his bombardment of questions finding it difficult to not be at least slightly amused by his acquaintance's antics, "I slept well thank you, and sure - do you have anything in mind for a meal?" Galestorm lived by a belief that anyone who was that alert and excited this early in the morning must be at least slightly nefarious, he just couldn't wrap his head around how others could get out of their nests with such an energy about them. "And how did you sleep Shadowtrip?"
Nightbreeze // Camp // With Jadepaw Nightbreeze enjoyed sleeping right beside her mate, during the coldness of winter he provided a much welcome source of heat and throughout all four seasons he was a constant reminder of just how much she loved the serious tom. She loved that on the mornings where he woke up early he always tried to move carefully so that he didn't wake her up - he really had the sweetest heart. Today though she was woken up by something else as Jadepaw called out a cheerful greeting around the area of the cave where she and Eagleswoop had built their nests. Blinking the sleep from her eyes the dark furred molly raised her head and smiled warmly at the young initiate, "Good morning Jadepaw, is there anything I can help you with?" She was in the midst of waking up when the young she-cat's voice had reached her so she was by no means upset at the small interruption, Jadepaw was lucky she wasn't as grumpy as Crookedwhisker or else she might have gotten her ears clawed. The image of the grumpy Paw of the Ancients being woken from his sleep flashed through Nightbreeze's mind and she couldn't help but smile slightly. Focusing once again on the conversation before her Nightbreeze tilted her head inquisitively, "How are you enjoying being an initiate? It's been just around one moon so far correct? I do hope Eagleswoop hasn't being pushing you to hard, he can be pretty serious but don't let him scare you, he's a real softy once you get to know him."

Shadowtrip thought for a moment, pondering over what he wanted for breakfast. In truth he was kind of craving some milk like what they'd be served in their twoleg home but he knew Galestorm wouldn't want to hear him say that. "I slept excellently!" he mewed, to answer the other question, "and does a rabbit sound good for breakfast?" before he could get an answer, he was rising to his paws, preparing to walk to the freshkill pile.

Galestorm // Camp // With Shadowtrip "You always seem to sleep well, don't think I've ever seen you not be this chipper in the morning, although you do somehow have days where you are more so - thankfully those are few and far between." The last but was muttered quietly under Galestrorm breath as he shook his head slightly, he found himself having some difficulty spending long periods of time with the energetic tom, which was difficult seeing how much the other guard enjoyed spending time with him, but on his extra giddy days Galestorm always seemed to find ways of mysteriously disappearing. As Shadowtrip requested a rabbit Galestorm pondered it for a moment before nodding, "Sounds perfect." Yawning, the thick furred tom stretched his forepaws out in front in him and dug his claws into the dirt, he was still waking up and probably would be for a while - he was never much of a morning person.

Weaselstar // Cave Entrance // Open Sighing deeply, the chief exhaled slowly, his breath forming a small cloud in the crisp morning air. Leafbare had been a difficult one, but yet the clan was as strong as ever and Weaselstar couldn't be more proud. As the days got warmer the tom continued to look forward to each new dawn and the excitement that each sunrise would hold. It was always interesting to watch the forest spring back to life after each winter, the flora and fauna slowly beginning to creep out as the snow began to melt away. Shifting his weight slightly the chief closed his eyes as he sat perched on a smooth stone just outside the camp's entrance. This was one of his favourite places to watch the sun rise, from here he could feel the sun begin to warm his coat as it peeked over the horizon while also listening to his clan as they began to stir.
Flurrystep // Camp // Open Squeezing through the camp's entrance, Flurrystep was reminded of how thankful she was for her smaller stature. Sometimes it was bothersome to be on the shorter side, but when she saw her taller clanmates having to duck each time as they entered camp she very quickly changed her tune. The guard had left the camp early that morning to get some fresh air, decided to catch the sunrise and get some hunting done at the same time and she had done well, but not as good as she had hoped. She had managed to take down a grey jay but she had been hoping to find one other piece of prey to bring back alongside the bird but she hadn't been able to spot anything else. As the cave opened up before her she took a moment to let her eyes adjust to the darkness of the camp before continuing forwards. It seemed as though the clan was beginning to stir. She noticed Minkbounce and Amberpaw heading out for some morning training and a huff coming from the Aid's den let her know that Crookedwhisker had woken up as well. Dropping the limp body of the bird on the fresh-kill pile the small white-furred molly sighed contently as she searched for something or someone to help fill her morning.
[Here are some of my open starters]

Sheeptangle in camp - with Cloudypaw »»---------------------------«« The cold air was horror on her old limbs, making them ache terribly as she shifted into a seated position in her nest. Her hazel gaze was narrowed in pain as she took a long breath. Sheeptangle didn't want to lay around when her clan could need her, but every slight move shot pain through her body. Shaking herself, the curly furred molly carefully limped from the guard's den, her breath instantly fogging up the air around her. Now was not really the time to show weakness. Her dull white ears perked at the sound of a familiar voice and she turned just in time to catch a pair of bright green eyes. A rusty purr escaped her as she gazed down at her small granddaughter, pride and warmth ballooning in the elderly she-cat's chest.
"Cloudypaw, good morning," she greeted, forcing back a flinch as her hips creaked and she settled herself into a seated position. She lent down to gently press her nose against the apprentice's forehead. The sight of the black and gray splotched coat reminded her of her own apprentice - Marmotpaw. She'd need to try and get some training done, if he hadn't already tagged along with another warrior, which was completely possible.
Eagleswoop in camp - with Flurrystep »»---------------------------«« Eagleswoop had woken up relatively early, though he'd been reluctant to leave the warmth of Nightbreeze's side. Rest was something that never really came easy to him, he was the type to work himself to near exhaustion instead. So he'd trekked out into the snow, long before the sun had started to rise, his goal to find some prey to bring back for his clan mates. Leaf-bare was hard on them after all and he didn't want to see anyone going hungry if he could help it.
The silver and black tabby had managed to hunt down a weasel that had left the safety of it's den, as well as a single junco. The small bird and mammal would have to do, since his paw pads were beginning to sting and the sun was beginning to rise. As he headed back towards camp his gaze landed on Weaselstar, who was sitting on a stone outside their home. Lifting his tail in greeting, the large tom dipped his head in a show of respect, before slipping through the entrance to camp. His gaze locked on the prey pile, where Flurrystep had just dropped off a jay. "Nice catch," he mewed approvingly, trying to keep spirits high.
Cloudypaw in camp - with Sheeptangle »»---------------------------«« Cloudypaw was hesitant about starting the day, unsure about what she should be doing. Flicking her ear, she tilted her head as the familiar form of her grandmother appeared from the guard's den. "Hi," she called quietly, padding over in time to see the white molly wince as she sat down. Worry tugged at the mottled she-cat's heart.
"Are you alright, Sheeptangle?" she asked, her bright green gaze locked on the hazel of the elderly she-cat. Something was clearly bothering her grandmother, but the stubborn old guard wasn't likely to tell her.
"Oh nothing, sweet, just adjusting to this chilly weather," Sheeptangle replied confidently, all signs of discomfort evaporating, as though they'd never existed. Cloudypaw began to doubt what she'd seen, maybe the older feline really was just taking in the snow... She'd never been the best at reading others.
Emberheart in camp - open »»---------------------------«« Going on Moon-High patrol had worn Emberheart out but it had still taken the russet tom a little while to fully fall asleep. He'd been unable to get his mind to shut down last night while he rested in his nest until, finally, he had ended up curling up underneath the warm moss onto the dusty floor. It was an odd position for sure, with his rump half in the air and his head tucked under both his paws but the guard had been able to find sleep. Soft snores, more like deep raspy breaths, escaped his muzzle as he wiggled to bury herself even deeper under his nest. Emberheart's limbs felt heavy with exhaustion but his whiskers and ears would twitch ever now and then, from some dream or another that clearly held him captive.

Flurrystep // Camp // With Eagleswoop At the sound of her clanmates voice Flurrystep turned and faced Eagleswoop, offering the tom a warm smile as she waved her tail in greeting. "Thank you!" Glancing down at Eagleswoop's catches the young guard couldn't help but chuckle softly, "Your catches aren't too shabby either." The light-furred molly hadn't had many interactions with the older guard but his reputation of being a dedicated and hard worker were not unknown to her. "It's cold out there eh? Thankfully Newleaf is coming along quite well and Greenleaf is just around the corner. It will be nice once it starts to get a tad warmer." The molly was thankful for her warm coat and didn't usually find herself terribly bothered by the cold but Greenleaf was her favourite season of the four. The warm sun, lush meadows, blooming flowers all made for a beautiful day.

Eagleswoop in camp - with Flurrystep »»---------------------------«« The tom carefully placed his kills on the pile, which wasn't overflowing but had enough prey in it to keep the clan fed for at least the morning. Patrols would of course be sent out during the day and would hopefully have more luck than he and Flurrystep had clearly had. He chuckled slightly, dipping his head in thanks. "I got lucky with the weasel. It must have run out of food in it's stores," he admitted, eyeing the long-bodied mammal. Eagleswoop sat down and curled his tail over his paws, subtly trying to warm. A sigh of agreement passed between them as the older guard considered the warmer season. His fur was thick and could make New-Leaf and Green-Leaf uncomfortable to him, though he still preferred an abundance of prey to just scraping by.
"I hope the warmer moons don't take their sweet time to get here. Feeding all these hungry mouths is harsh work in Leaf-bare," Eagleswoop mumbled, speaking the truth even if it sounded a bit harsh - though he didn't intend it that way. His bright amber eyes slid to the entrance again thoughtfully. The silvery tom wondered what patrols would go out and which ones he'd be assigned to. He preferred patrolling to hunting but would do whatever he could.

Flurrystep // Camp // With Eagleswoop "I think many of us living up here are running out of food." The normally positive she-cat was surprisingly grim as she spoke, her eyes flashing with worry as she glanced at the prey pile. The clan was not as lucky as those down the mountain who, according to stories Flurrystep had heard, often had their freshkill piles overflowing with prey; she would still choose CrestClan over the other two any day. The white furred molly found herself nodding as Eagleswoop spoke, "I couldn't agree more and I hope they bring with them lots of prey." The last bit of her comment was spoken once again with her usual light tone as she found herself smiling once more. She much preferred the lighter topics of life and decided to change the direction of their conversation, "How is your family doing? Lynxpaw and Cloudypaw have been apprentices for some time now - how are they enjoying it?"

Eagleswoop in camp - with Flurrystep »»---------------------------«« "Too true," the tom agreed, almost mechanically. Prey was mighty hard to come by during Leaf-bare but he still wouldn't give this life up for any other. Quietly he thanked StarClan again for the few creatures he had been able to catch and bring back to camp. They would fill some bellies if nothing else. Lifting a paw, he lapped at it with a soft pink tongue, trying to help return the circulation to his toes. Even with his thick fur the snow and ice could be a bit much at times. The sunlight - however dull - would help though.
Eagleswoop perked his ears at the sudden change of subject, his chest puffing out ever so slightly at the mention of his kits. He might be a serious tom but he was one proud papa. "I'm pleased with their progress so far. I make sure their mentors keep me updated," he admitted, sounding almost sheepish. It's not that he didn't trust the other guards to train his children, the silver tabby just preferred to be involved - at least on some level.

(Here finally)
Jasminefang turns to look at her apprentice and twitches her whiskers at him. "Hello there Lynxpaw. Are you okay?" She asked noticing that he seemed a little shaken up by something. She wanted to make sure her apprentice was feeling all right. Jasminefang wanted to get some training in but only if he was okay. "Did you sleep all right?" She questioned.

Jadepaw//In the Warrior's Den// talking to Nightbreeze//Jadepaw sauntered over to Nightbreeze, puffing out her crested chest. Her posture was erect and she stood tall with a superior majesty. "I'm quite enjoying it so far. I've been learning a lot! I caught a rabbit the other day.." She trilled, eliciting a silver-tongued purr. Jadepaw peered at the prey pile, squinting as she tried to pick apart her plump rabbit from the heaps of limp cadavers. Her lip curled as the rancid odor of blood crawled up her nostrils. Blood was normally salty and saccharine; much like a caramel citrus chocolate Jadepaw had experimented with once. It lingered in her mouth, soothed her senses, and enriched her lustful spirit. But this blood was starkly ominous; smelling like sour milk under a smoke-filled sky. Jadepaw winced at the stench, forgetting her prideful thoughts about her rabbit. She turned back to Nightbreeze with a crescent moon smile.
"Also, I was wondering if you could offer me some special courses for Initiate Training. Eagleswoop is a fine mentor, but it wouldn't hinder me to learn a little extra. It doesn't have to a specific subject; I'll gladly dabble in unconventional education. As long as I'm progressing, that's what matters. So, are you up for it?" She concluded her inquiry with a sharp nod, her bushy plume flicking back-and-forth like a squirrel's tail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Jadeu Sorry I was gone for so long, I had a medical emergency I needed to take care of.

Flurrystep // Camp // With Eagleswoop The molly couldn't help but twitch her whiskers slightly at the silver tom's sudden change in posture and his comment. She never would have guessed that he would be such an involved father, not that she didn't see him as a caring father, but he seemed very dedicated to his duty as a guard. "They seem to be learning very quickly! It will be exciting to see how they fair on their guard trial together!" Flurrystep thought back on her own as smiled fondly, it wasn't that many moons in her past and it was one of her proudest moments. She couldn't ever find the words to describe the feeling of returning to the camp after completing her full day out of the cave. "Do you remember your trial?"
Lynxpaw // Camp // With Jasminefang The young tom became quite flustered when he realized he was doing a terrible job of hiding how much the dream had scared him. Taking a moment to sit and smooth the obviously ruffled fur on his chest, both from his sleep and his fright, the tom took a deep breath trying to still his wildly beating heart the young initiate smiled brightly, "All good Jasminefang! Just a bad dream."
Nightbreeze // Camp // With Jadepaw Nightbreeze found herself purring happily as the young molly bragged about her catch, "Great job Jadepaw! Rabbits aren't all that easy to catch so you must be very proud of yourself for that! You'll make a great guard some day, that's for sure!" At the mention of extra training the dark furred molly thought for a moment before nodding, her smile matching Jadepaw's, "I would love to! I'm very honored that you asked me." Rising to her paws, Nightbreeze shook the loose bedding from her pelt with a wide yawn. She dropped into a deep stretch letting her claws scratch grooves into the ground beneath her paws before beginning to move towards the camp's exit. Glancing down at Jadepaw the guard tilted her head, "Is there anything in particular that you would like to learn?"
(I am so sorry for my absence! Also, Hawkeyes258 would you like Jasminefang to be a candidate for the advisor/deputy role?)
