Cliff Clan (closed to new joiners)

With a yowl Coldclaws fell onto his back and onto Lynxpaw, his heavy weight squishing the young tom. He growled and ripped his scruff from the young toms grasp, getting up onto his paws quickly to face the young apprentice. He narrowed his eyes as he slammed his left paw down onto Lynxpaws throat, his claws digging in. He sat down, bringing the other paw atop Lynxpaws neck. He began squeezing as a low deep growl forced its way out of him.

"You think you are a match for me? Save it for training." He snarled venomously as he roughly pushed away from the tom, releasing his grip.

He swatted at Lynxpaw again once more for good measure, just missing the young toms left eye. His eye's were full of anger, and he took a moment to calm down before he killed his new apprentice. He walked away a bit, and began pacing back and forth in front of Lynxpaw.

Perhap's I'll have to be harder on him. He thought to himself, his tail still thrashing with anger. He spat at the ground, licking the old blood stains on his claws. I'll teach him to respect me more than he could possibly respect Bonestar. He snarled in his mind. Stupid kit, catching me by surprise. There will be no training today. I'll make him go to the top of the mountain and back, and if he comes back early, twice!

He whirled around to face Lynxpaw, a different expression on his face. He smiled coldly, and took a menacing step forward.
"You almost had me there, Lynxpaw... He purred and winked. "Today we'll have a more different approach on training as it is the first day. You'll be climbing to the top of skull mountain tonight. I want you to bring me back two crow skulls, and make sure you don't take the thistlepatch shortcut." He laughed inside his head, the thistlepatch shortcut was full of poison ivy as well, so if Lynxpaw knew better he would go the hard way. 

(I might make a dead apprentice for Lynxpaw to train with, it'll be coldclaws younger sister or something for dramatic effect)

"Stamina is everything, Lynxpaw." He grunted, walking away towards the forest. he didn't even look behind him to see if Lynxpaw was coming. His tail was high in the air, and his brown fur blended in well with the dark forest. He stopped atop a rock, turning back to look at the young apprentice.
"Hurry up then, we're going to meet someone special if you don't want the stamina training. Since you think you're ready to battle with the big cats." He purred.

(Omg a dark forest romance would be so sad, I'm having so many new ideas, I'll write a reply up in a bit, just going to do a few more characters up)

so i know for my post, what time of day is it in the rp?)

Danke)
Ivyspirit shifted in his nest. The time swiped his silver tail around himself, he wanted to wait and see if anyone else woke up, namely the deputy, to see if he can go on the dawn patrol or on a hunting one. The tom hissed under his breath as he stood and exited the dentist quietly heading for the main part of the cave. Stretching his legs once he got there.

Littlesky resided in his nest. The small white tom was still fast asleep. His ear occasionally twitches as he dreamed. A quiet purr coming from the tom. He stirred a bit but simply adjusted himself and was able to slip back to his dream. He curled into a tight ball as he buried his face under his paws, as he fell deeper into his slumber.

Ashenleaf was awake in his nest, the tom just resided in his nest hoping to fall back asleep. It was to early to wake up in his opinion and he had no desire to go on a patrol, not when he barely got any sleep from not being able to sleep till moon high. He hoped to at least sleep till it was later in the morning if he was lucky.

Newtwing was out in the main part of the cave. The tortoiseshell she cat was being as quiet as she could be, not wanting to disturb her sleeping clan mates. She laid off to the side as she groomed her fur, the she cat had trouble sleeping so she choose to go out for a walk earlier to not risk disturbing her sleeping clanmates.

Short but I'm on mobile rn sorry)

Ivyspirit noticed Bonestar. He thought for a moment before heading over to Bonestar. Dipping his head to him. "Good morning Bonestar," he greeted. Flicking his tail a bit behind him. "Would it be alright if I attend the dawn patrol?" He noticed his pacing. "If it is alright for me to be asking but is everything okay?"

Bonestar looked up to see ivyspirit. He thought for a moment before speaking. "Good morning Ivyspirit. Yes it is, I was just thinking about patrol actually. You guys will be remarking the border near the river today."

Dovepaw adjusted her grip, leaning in to bite at the toms left ear as she returned the kicks, both of her back paws meeting his several times. Causing them to be at a standstill as the both scratched at each other. She bit down harder on his ear, not knowing if he'd stop or continue going. She contemplated ripping half his ear off if it came to it.

“Hawkgrip, lynxpaw, Swanpaw, and Birchcloud.” Said the white Tom, blinking his Yellow and blue eyes against the rising sun. “Ask Cherrypetal if she needs to come to find any herbs first. She might be low .” He said quickly before ivyspirit turned away.

Lynxpaw gave a yowl as his ear began to burn almost like it had caught on fire. He worked his hind legs up to tug under his chest and tried pushing the she-cat away from him. He tried to yank his ear out of her grip and wondered if he should do as he had been taught, play dead. Maybe this she-cat was dump enough to think he wasn’t pretending. With a fake whimper of despair, he slowed his movements until he was lying still with his eyes closed. Silently, he hoped this would give him the advantage of surprise.

i could offer up Littlesky to be injured in the attack if you want? and i feel that would be interesting to have a natural disaster after the attack as the clan would still be recovering from it and then another event happens, could cause maybe some doubt to form in starclan in the cats which could make them esy prey for the dark forest?)

Ivyspirit dipped his head. "Sorry didn't mean to wake you. But Bonestar is going to send out the dawn patrol and wanted to know if you wanted to come with to look for any herbs if you need them," he explained to her. "We will be going down by the border along the river if that helps you think of anything."

all my cats are open for romances as well, and if you want Robinbreeze i could make a rogue the friend of Tangle if you want)

(Yeah, I think that’d be cool, Ember! Go for it!
Mat, I’m pretty sure Nimble was going to host a ceremony for that soon, but you can definitely make a character who could be named deputy!)

okay yeah I can settle for one new queen. Tangle and cherrypetal sounds like they could be a good match, unless you want to wait for the apprentice role to be taken? Perhaps cherrypetal could wander off from the dawn patrol and he’s out hunting ?)

(I'm good with Tangle and Cherrypetal; if someone makes an older apprentice for her, then it would be better. Only because of their age difference, but it could still work. And yeah, I can have a post for him here...
I'm not a prophecy writer, but I can try and think of something. Nothing guaranteed, but I can try.)

Lynxpaw kept his eyes closed and allowed himself to be dragged a bit by the Dark Forest apprentice. He wasn't sure how far they would be going and was a bit relieved when they stopped short. Feeling paws digging into his side, he squirmed and fought to get up. The golden tabby gave a loud yowl and twisted to bite into the she-cat's tail. He bit down hard and pulled, allowing him the chance to hop up and face her.

Tangle pushed through the light undergrowth, slowly following after the scent of mouse. It had been a few days since his last run-in with the clan cats and he was just brave enough to wander close to their territory. Just a few tail-lengths from it and he had dropped down to follow this creature. His eyes darting between the bare branches of the bushes around him as he looked for his next meal. It was close.

Shortsun stretched her front legs out, careful not to bump the tiny bodies at her side. She had slowly grown used to the needy mews of the loner kits she had found and was quite fond of them. Just the other day, she had managed to find out their names, and she had changed them so they fit the traditions of the clan. Firekit was the solid gray one, his previous name having fit perfectly into the traditions. But the gray and white kit's name, Lucifer, had made Shortsun think a bit. She had eventually come up with Stonekit and the two seemed to be fitting right in. Softly, the ginger she-cat nosed each in turn as they shifted in their sleep, hoping to get them up and playing in the sunlight.

Birchcloud lay in his nest, debating whether to get up and start the day. He needed to ask his apprentice, Swanpaw, what she wanted to work on today. It would be nice to know what she thought of training so far as well. Hesitantly, he stood and stretched before padding quietly out of the warriors' cave and toward the opening to the apprentices' cave. Peeking his head inside, he mewed, "Swanpaw? You awake yet?"

Primrosedawn sat at the camp entrance, gazing out into the sunrise. She always watched it and admired how brave the sun was for coming back each day. The world was cruel sometimes and it was a wonder why the sun watched the day, knowing it was this way. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts, she turned to look inside the camp, wondering when the day's patrols were going to be assigned and whether she was going to be on one of them.

Ferret lay on the cliff edge once more, watching the brown tabby as he wandered close to the clan border once again. Why does he risk his life to bother cats who clearly don't tolerate outsiders? she asked herself, shaking her head in disbelief. The world was much bigger than a single canyon and it already held so many cats. Why doesn't he just find territory elsewhere? There has to be better hunting grounds somewhere. Flicking her tail, she gave a heavy sigh before standing and padding away to find some breakfast.
