(Sorry its so late! Stuff got a bit hectic) Wolfstorm / Deputy / BluffClan / HeathClan Camp / Silentstar (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥), Jackdawstar (aether), Shadowpuddle (Ember34)Wolfstorm felt anger and shock bubble up in him at Shadowpuddle's callous words. How unfeeling must a cat be to disregard the lives of cats living in the present? However, he held his tongue. There was no room for a confrontation in the current situation, and HeathClan's issues were their own. Shortly after, Jackdawstar spoke, and his words, contrary to his deputy's, calmed him down. Further still, the words of both leaders allayed much of his fear about the journey ahead. If the Clans were to be strong, so were its leadership. He realized then that he was already starting to think in terms of the journey. Even though he didn't want to, he had already accepted the thought of leaving. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, before finally replying. "Very well." He meowed solemnly, the weight of the situation clear in every word. "Then we must leave. Perhaps the Clans will find strength in our travels, and become strong enough to find a new home. A proper one." Hope began to light his blue eyes, giving him strength he hadn't had in a long time. "And we will get every cat through this." He added firmly. He wasn't naïve enough to think that there would be no losses on such a great undertaking, but he would do his part to keep every cat going. Shadowpuddle's ideals would be his own. "We'll need to tell the Clans, so we can begin preparing." He mused aloud. "We'll need prey if we can find it, and traveling herbs." He exchanged a glance with Silentstar, wondering if their medicine cat would even be in a position to prepare them. "And we'll be leaving as soon as we can?" He mewed inquiringly at the two leaders. After all, with the decision made, there was no point staying here much longer, and give the twolegs more time to reach them. Streamfrost / Warrior / BluffClan / HeathClan Camp / Spiderwatcher, Feathersoul (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)After Streamfrost finished talking to Shadedspeck and making sure he settled into the Elder's Den, she padded out to feel the air thick with tension in the camp. It seemed every cat was on edge, and the two Clans were eyeing each other warily. Everyone was hungry, tired, and now scared. Some, even angry, from the sight of Rushingfire and Foxpounce. Thankfully, Spiderwatcher spoke up, and her careful direction seemed to deflate the building anxiety. Some cats, namely the apprentices and elders, even seemed to be reacting warmly to each other. She let out a sigh of relief she didn't know she hadn't known she'd been holding. Spiderwatcher really is Jackdawstar's sister. She knew what to do right away. She thought gratefully. As the black HeathClan molly spoke to her, she dipped her head genially, showing her admiration and respect for the other warrior at how she had handled the situation. "Sure, Spiderwatcher. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. I'm still fresh." She added, before turning her attention to Feathersoul, who seemed to be struggling with her overactive kits. She couldn't help but suppress a purr of amusement. The two were only a moon old and already a handful. It would be a long five moons till they were made apprentices. "Hi, Feathersoul." She meowed as she padded over, dipping her head in greeting. "If you three don't need any medicine, why don't we get you settled into the nursery? It'll be safe there, and I'm sure it'll be much warmer than out here."Beetleflight / Elder / BluffClan / HeathClan Elder Den / Shadedspeck, Graypebble (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥), Sagetail (aether)Beetleflight let out a soft groan of appreciation as he settled down on the moss that had been set aside for him, curling his paw close to his body. The throbbing had begun to finally ebb, though a medicine cat would probably want to check it eventually. "It's better, Shadedspeck." He meowed gratefully as he turned to watch his denmate lope in. As comforting as it was to have familiar faces around, the HeathClan camp was an altogether new experience, and he was glad his denmate was there with him. Former denmate. He revised wryly. They didn't so much as have a den anymore. After spending a few moments settling into the makeshift nest, he turned to Sagetail, and mulled over the events that had struck them just after dawn. "I'd had some trouble sleeping, so Birdscreech had given me a poppy seed last night." He admitted. He had no qualms admitting his weakness to the elderly cats at his age. "I think I'd just begun to nod off proper when they came barreling into the camp. Rushingfire woke me up, and we made it out of the den. It was horrible. There were twolegs everywhere, yowling and screeching and chasing cats." He shuddered at the terrifying image. "Rushingfire got me out of camp, and then the twolegs began to block the entrance. Some cats had to cut right through the brambles. We regrouped outside and ran to the border, where Jackdawstar and Spiderwatcher met us."Lynxkit / Kit / BluffClan / HeathClan Camp / Feathersoul, Tinykit (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Lynxkit had been a little more measured in her protests, knowing they would have a better chance to explore if their mother wasn't annoyed with them, but her own little paws fizzed with restless energy. They were in a new camp, surrounded by new cats! Surely, there was more to see than just the nursery! Unlike her mischievous little brother, however, she decided it would be better to wait until they'd all settled in. Besides, she was sure HeathClan would have their own kits, and she couldn't wait to meet them! "What about the HeathClan kits?" She inquired as Streamfrost padded up to the family. "Can we talk to them? I'm sure they'll have a lot to tell us!" She didn't know, of course, that the other Clan's kits would only know about the same amount as they would about the world outside their camp. And, of course, that there were no kits in HeathClan at the moment, unfortunately. Blizzardpaw / Apprentice / BluffClan / HeathClan Camp / Swiftpaw (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Blizzardpaw's gaze was weary, but full of warmth as he blinked at the HeathClan apprentice. He turned back to glance at his denmates, piled up near the entrance. "We're fine, I think. Cloudpaw nearly got me flattened for a shiny rock, but I made it through." His mew was affectionate as he mentioned his brother. "Most of us got out before the twolegs surrounded the camp. Some of us had to break through the brambles." He motioned towards his pelt with his tail. "Everyone made it out okay. I think some of them could definitely use a rest."
He peered past Swiftpaw at the apprentice's den. "Maybe we should look for some more moss before anyone settles in." He mused. "Why don't you show me your mossplace?" Of course, this just meant another opportunity to spend some more time with the pretty HeathClan apprentice, and Blizzardpaw would not object to that in the slightest. He turned his gaze back onto Swiftpaw, eyes lighting mischeviously. "I missed you at the last Gathering. Did you get in trouble or something?" He joked. Hornetpaw / Apprentice / BluffClan / HeathClan Camp / Cloudpaw (Tealraven), Seapaw (aether), Morningpaw, Ashpaw (Ember34)Hornetpaw overheard the last part of Blizzardpaw and Swiftpaw's conversation, and he rolled his eyes. "Great StarClan." He murmured good-naturedly. However, the idea of getting a bit of rest was certainly attractive, especially if the HeathClan apprentices were offering to share moss for nests. And it seemed that Blizzardpaw, in his great wisdom (or lack of priority) would be going to get them some more. He shook out his striped pelt, then glanced at Cloudpaw. "Why don't we take them up on the offer?" He suggested, then raised his voice to include the other apprentices milling beside him. "I think we could all use a rest." While Blizzardpaw and Cloudpaw seemed fine, the younger apprentices in Morningpaw, Ashpaw, Seapaw, and Falconpaw all looked tired. Falconpaw / Apprentice / BluffClan / HeathClan Camp / Seapaw (aether)Falconpaw looked down at the ugly looking mark on her flank. It didn't look too serious. "It's probably just a bruise. I'll have someone look at it later, it doesn't hurt too bad." She decided. Her sister's more nervous question couldn't help but bring a quiet purr of amusement to the ginger molly. Seapaw had always been closest to her, and of the current apprentices in the den, hadn't really bonded too closely to anyone else. To ask the gray tabby molly to make friends with the new HeathClan apprentices of all cats was a tall order. She gave her sister a friendly shove. "Don't worry about making friends just yet. Why don't we get some rest instead." She mewed gently at Hornetpaw's suggestion. It was uncertain where the Clan would go from here, so getting back any strength they could would help. Besides, the pretty HeathClan apprentice Blizzardpaw was talking to certainly seemed friendly enough. Vixenshine / Queen / HeathClan / Nursery / Foxtumble (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Vixenshine sighed softly as it became clear that her mate wouldn't drop the subject until she finally ate. "Very well...I suppose ...just a little..." She croaked, feebly raising her head to sniff at the rabbit. It was warm and freshly killed, and her mouth was already watering at the thought of eating. She leaned forward and took a bite of the rabbit, letting out a long breath as she felt strength flooding back into her merely from the food in her mouth. She chewed slowly, cherishing every bite, and then swallowed. It was only after yet another bite that she spoke again. "Don't worry, these kits will come out plump as hedgehogs." Her mew was stronger now, and tinged with a hint of amusement. "StarClan knows, they've been taking everything from me. Even this rabbit will probably fill their stomachs instead of mine." Despite the stark prediction, she let out an affectionate purr, which turned into a hacking cough that she immediately regretted. Despite the momentary burst of strength, she was still very weak. Stagrunner / Warrior / HeathClan / Moor / Fernheart (aether), Moonpaw (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Stagrunner nodded with approval as he saw how his apprentice aided the BluffClan warrior, Whiskerflick. He flicked her shoulder lightly with his tail-tip, then padded ahead to join Fernheart, who'd already forged ahead out of Camp. He made sure Moonpaw was following along, before bounding forward to catch up to the tortoiseshell warrior, padding at her side. "Great StarClan, anyone would think the rabbits are jumping into the sea." He joked, though he sympathized at the thought of being in that crowded camp at the moment. He paused and turned to make sure Moonpaw was keeping up, then turned back to Fernheart. "I think we all needed some time away from Camp after that." He murmured. His gaze was full of concern as he watched the young warrior. Stagrunner's affections for the tortoiseshell were well known around the Camp, seemingly to everyone but, to the brown tabby's bewilderment, Fernheart. They were good friends, but he sometimes wished she was more perceptive to how he really felt. He was pretty sure even his apprentice knew. Thunderflash would have no issue. He thought with a bemused shake of the head. His mottled white brother had an uncanny way with words that usually made any cat twist around his little claw. He really was charismatic. Unfortunately, Stagrunner didn't think he carried the same kind of gift. |

Thunderflash / Warrior / HeathClan / Camp / Open for InteractionThunderflash rolled listlessly in his nest, ignoring the pangs of hunger that roiled in his stomach. He had been out on the moonhigh patrol and thus had slept in, or at least tried to. Sleep simply didn't come to such an empty stomach. The whole idea of patrols seemed a waste when there was no prey to fight over. Outside, he could hear his clanmates active, milling around the camp aimlessly like fleas on a cat. Trying to keep up the appearance of strength, for what? Idiots. He snorted. To Thunderflash, a Clan was only good if it had the strength to bear witness to torment. The weak, limping excuses for cats here weren't worth his effort. He heard the sound of alarmed voices raising outside, and activity seemed to pick up. Were the twolegs finally coming to tear this place apart? He shifted and rolled over to his side, back to the entrance of the den. Not his problem. As far as the Clan was concerned, he was asleep, and he'd remain that way. With luck, he'd finally get some peace and quiet once the hairless monsters were done with them. Though, on the other side...If there was no Clan left, there was no entertainment for Thunderflash. And that wouldn't do. To HeathClan, Thunderflash was a loyal, kind, and dependable warrior. It wouldn't do at all if such an upstanding cat had no audience. No, he supposed not. With a great heave, he pushed himself to his paws and padded out the den to see what the commotion was. No twolegs? A disappointment. Yet something had spooked them all. He scented the air, and satisfaction glinted deep in his yellow eyes. Perhaps there was still some excitement for Thunderflash after all. Windpaw / Apprentice / HeathClan / Camp / Spiderwatcher (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Windpaw stumbled back into camp, with a tiny but plump mouse in her jaws. The apprentice had hunted tirelessly for the Clan whenever she could, and the effects were clear. The molly's eyes were red-rimmed, her tail drooped, and her breath was coming in pants. She tottered towards the fresh-kill pile and looked around hopefully for her mentor, hoping to show her catch to her. Unfortunately, it didn't appear she was there. Her ears drooped and she set the mouse down on the dusty and barren fresh-kill pile, before turning her gaze to the apprentice's den, where she scented Honeypaw, no doubt fast asleep. The irritation and frustration emanating from Windpaw was palpable. She couldn't understand for the life of her how the golden molly was still an apprentice. She was lazy and selfish, and only did the bare minimum of what was expected of her - or less, if she could get away with it. Some cats will hunt since dawn, others will sleep till sunhigh. She told herself with an incredulous shake of the head. No matter. If she couldn't find Spiderwatcher, she was sure there would be something else to keep her busy. There was always something to do, with the Clan in the state that it was. Then, her ears pricked with horror as she scented BluffClan. There was no way they could defend themselves, weak as they were! Thankfully, Spiderwatcher soon appeared, and at her words, the bluish-gray molly relaxed considerably, though she couldn't help but watch in consternation as BluffClan cats streamed into the camp like fish. Ignoring the aching in her limbs, she padded over to join her mentor. "What can I do to help?" She mewed softly, dipping her head diligently. Honeypaw / Apprentice / HeathClan / Apprentice's Den / Open to InteractionIn Honeypaw's defense, she had been patrolling earlier. Or was that last night? She couldn't remember. All she knew was that when she'd gotten back to camp, her nest had seemed oh so soft and alluring, how was she supposed to ignore that? In her opinion, she was just working harder, not smarter. This way, she was saving energy while workaholics like Windpaw squandered it all away. Her ear twitched and she felt a twinge of guilt, but it was for the best. Any cat foolish enough to try and hunt near twolegs were asking for trouble. She blinked the sleep out of her eyes, and straightened with a yawn. What time was it? Well, if Foxpounce had needed her, he would have awoken her, that much was clear, so she had to be in the right. Her stomach rumbled loudly, and she cringed. The days of kithood, when her food was plenty, seemed far away now, and Honeypaw was taking it the hardest. Not physically, but mentally. She hated exhaustion, and all this hunger was making her exhausted. Panicked yowls outside in camp had her letting out an exasperated mew. What could possibly be worth all the effort? Then, she scented something she had never scented before. It was strong and smelled of cat. Cats she didn't know. She let out a startled squeal despite herself. For the first time ever, she found herself wondering where Foxpounce was. (And here's a repost of my other HeathClan cats if anyone wanted to RP with them! c: Modified em slightly to update for current events) |

Shadowpuddle-Heathclan camp-Jackdawstar( aether), Wolfstorm( ~Skyblaze~), Silentstar( ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥) Shadowpuddle listened to what the other cats said. He shrank under the look his leader gave him. He looked away biting his tongue. You asked for our thoughts and I just gave mine. He thought bitterly. "How soon are you planning to leave," he asked shifting to look at Jackdawstar. "I could go and check on our warriors and see which ones are strong enough at the moment and willing to help out with elders," he commented. The dark tabby tom looked at the other leader and deputy. Before turning his gaze away from the group to around the camp. His gaze going over the cats. The others had a point they all were weak from hunger. His ear flicked at the mention of traveling herbs. He rose to his paws. "If this is all is it okay if i leave to begin talking to the warriors to find out which ones can help the elders and queens?" |

Silentstar Molly ; Leader ; 70 Moons
Ears perked up as the leader listened to the three toms around her. She had become silent, her tan eyes wondering around the clearing where the two clans mixed together. She could sense the unease and fear that sparked from the group. How would they all react at the decision to leave.? How would they feel about having to travel side by side. While most had a kind relationship with their rival clans, it was something they only had during gatherings. Others in each clan had a negative view of the other clan, no matter what. Would they be able to put their differences and tensions aside, to help guide the clans to a new home.?
At the question of when they would leave, she glanced at Jackdawstar for his answer. After all, this had been his suggestion in the first place. While her and her entire clan, had no home left, His clan still had a home to turn to. It would be harder to convince his clanmates to leave the safety of their camp, than her own. Turning her gaze back to the clearing of felines, she spotted her father being led away with the other elders. Her heart ached as she watched the eldest feline of the two clans, hobble into the den. He was clearly exhausted and aching. How could he go on this journey.? He was blind, hardly could walk, and couldn't hear the greatest. How could a trip through the leaf-bare rocky slopes, be something he would live through.?
Then her tan eyes clouded as they flickered over the fluffy brown and white queen and her two kits. Her deputies little ones, dancing around their mother, very unaware of the severity of the situation. Lynxkit was a normal one moon old kit, with as much spunk and life as ever. While she was sure the little molly would make it through the journey, she didn't believe that her little brother would. While he had life in him, adventure, he was very small and a bit sickly. Though he never showed it, it was doubtful that the young brown and white tom could make it through this, without falling ill or getting sick. Even more so that he wouldn't lose his life before they even crossed the mountains.
After a moment, she shook her head slightly to try and push her negative thoughts aware. Her heart pounded against her chest as the two deputies asked how soon they would be leaving and seemed to be forming plans in their own mind. Finally, she spoke. Her voice was soft and unsure, her gaze matching. "I believe we should let everyone rest. And then at dawn, we head out. Wolfstorm, I need you to work with Shadowpuddle. The two of you work out the strongest warriors in our clans. We will need combined strength to get through this journey. Apprentices as well, they will need to help their mentors. I want four warriors for the Elders. Four warriors for the queens. Choose at least two warriors with apprentices for each group, as they can help guide them along. I want our quickest warriors on the sides of the entire clan, as they can move where they are needed, as quick as possible. And I believe that as deputies and leaders, we should take turns in pairs to lead the clans and follow behind, to make sure no one is left behind."

Between Wolfstorm's hesitation and Shadowpuddle's intense gaze, Jackdawstar felt as though a great weight settled on his shoulders. He opened his maw to reply to the two toms but felt as though his voice was caught in his throat. They were all looking at him with expectant gazes and he suddenly felt a fearful grip around his heart that rose the question, what if I'm doing the wrong thing? Silentstar's voice sounded and he almost swayed with relief; her voice sounded as unsure as he felt yet it was comforting to know he wasn't alone in his fears. Thankfully, her words were organized and allowed a plan to formulate in his mind. After a moments hesitation he nodded his head quickly.
"Yes, I agree. And anyone who can hunt should but make sure they are in bigger groups, with the threat of twolegs, I don't want anyone to get injured." He straightened, "I think leaving as soon as possible is the best idea. We'll need all our strength. Make sure every patrol has HeathClan warriors to help the BluffClan warriors navigate the territory." Slowly he rose to his paws and looked at each of the cats in turn, a new sense of determination entered his body like an arrow. They were all going to work together, no matter which clan they were loyal to. "I'll make an announcement then you two-" he gestured between Wolfstorm and Shadowpuddle "-can organize the groups."
He glanced to Silentstar momentarily, his yellow eyes asking her: do you agree? He didn't hesitate much longer before he bunched his muscles and leapt up to the great rock, slipping momentarily before he gained his balance atop it. A strong breeze tor****ed past and he scraped his claws over the stone to keep his position, it ruffled his fur, but he rose his chin and stared across the assortment of cats that filled the clearing.
"Cats of HeathClan and BluffClan, Silentstar, our deputies, and myself have decided what the plan is going forward." He could hear cats murmuring around the clearing like a hum, but their eyes were staring expectantly. "Tomorrow at dawn, we'll be leaving this camp. All of us, with the elders and kits, and we'll be going towards the mountains." Before anyone could speak up he was quick to add, "We believe it is in our best interest to find a new territory that is far from twolegs and has enough prey to feed the clans. It will not be an easy journey but we'll work together... no one will be left behind!" He hoped his steady voice would be enough to plant confidence in everyone's minds but he hadn't any idea of how they would react. "Wolfstorm and Shadowpuddle are going to arrange some hunting patrols and give more details, but Silentstar and I are here also to help if anyone has any concerns."
i am going to reply with my other characters - this took so long because i kept getting dragged away from the computer for this and that. if vixenshine is going to have her kits we can do that soon but i'm happy to skip to dawn shortly also, so that we can move into the plot.

Shadedspeck Tom ; Elder ; 150 Moons
At a nuzzle from Sagetail, as the Heathclan tom settled beside him, a croaky purr of exhaustion came from the black and white specked tom. He curled up tightly in his makeshift nest, his back against Sagetail's, his front paws touching the black and white flank of Beetleflight. At the reassurance from his former denmate, he simply nodded his head, before resting it on the side of the nest. Blind eyes closed and his breathing quickly turned softer as he started to fall into a deep sleep. The journey had exhausted him beyond the point he was ready to admit. The muffled voices of the other three elders were the last sounds he heard as he drifted off. ❖ [ Beetleflight(~Skyblaze~ ) Graypebble(Me) Sagetail(aether ] ❖ [ Heathclan Camp. ] ❖ [Bluffclan]
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Feathersoul Molly ; Queen ; 35 Moons
As Streamfrost padded up to them and mentioned the nursery, a relieved look crossed the queens gaze. She blinked warmly to the silver and gray molly and nodded her head, herding her kits towards the Heathclan nursery. At Tinykit's protest and Lynxkit's questions, the brown and white molly just purred softly. Shoving them towards the nursery, she spoke gently. "Now, my dears. It's already been a long day for everyone. You are to come into the nursery and rest. And no bothering the queens." She was scolding Tinykit more than her daughter, before directing her voice to the little tortoiseshell molly. "I'm afraid to say, little Lynx, that Heathclan has no little ones at the moment. We must be respectful to the queens in the nursery, as I'm sure they are very tired."
At the call from the leader and the words that reached her ears, Feathersoul whipped around and turned wide blue eyes on the leaders before turning them to her mate. An uncomfortable feeling surged through her body and fear sparked in her eyes. How in the world would they get her kits, not to mention the expecting queens and elders.? ❖ [Wolfstorm & Family(~Skyblaze~ )] ❖ [ Heathclan Camp. ] ❖ [Bluffclan]•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• Tinykit Tom ; Kit ; 1 Moons
At the words that they would be leaving, the tiny mini version of Feathersoul started to skip around his clearly upset mother. A happy squeal escaped his maw and filled the entire clearing. "Do you hear that, Lynxkit! We get to travel further than any kit has ever gone before!" While he was super excited, the little tom had absolutely no idea of the dangers and severity of what was happening in the clans. He was just a spunky little kit, ready to take on the world. He turned wide big eyes to where his father was with the other deputy, squinting to try to see the blur from where he sat. ❖ [ Lynxkit & Family(~Skyblaze~ ) ] ❖ [ Heathclan camp. ] ❖ [Bluffclan] •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Rushingfire Tom ; Senior Warrior ; 68 Moons
As the lean ginger and white tom retaliated, Rushingfire felt his back start to arch up at the warriors words. Tail lashing, the massive orange tom circled the smaller warrior. A deep growl rumbled in his throat, rumbling up from his chest. Flattening his ears tightly against his head and drawing his lips back in a snarl, he slunk towards the Heathclan warrior. His fur bristled to the point that he looked even larger than he was. Approaching the tom, nose touched nose and green eyes blazed into amber eyes.
"Someone should teach you some manners, fox breath."
In the distance, he could faintly hear Spiderwatcher mention Foxpounces name. Shortly after, Fernheart padded past them with Stagrunner and Moonpaw. Not even moving to acknowledge the group, another growl rumbled up in his chest. His tail brushed up and a large paw moved without hesitation, cuffing the Heathclan warrior right over the head. Satisfaction glimmered in his gaze as his paw made contact with the tom's head. A 'thump' sounding upon contact. He was sure Foxpounce would leap at him, bracing himself for the tom's attack. Every muscle in his body tensed up, blood boiling and claws out. He itched for a battle, and this one had come so easily.
❖ [Foxpounce(aether ) ] ❖ [ Heathclan Camp. ] ❖ [Bluffclan]
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• Graypebble Molly ; Elder ; 76 Moons
Settling in beside Sagetail, Graypebble curled her tail over her paws. She gave her denmate a playful shove at his teasing words. Though, a playful gimmer echoed in her gaze as she turned her attention to the two Bluffclan toms. Her amber eyes widened as Beetleflight spoke of the twoleg invasion. Her gaze flickered over to Shadedspeck's already softly snoring body. The tom looked battered, fur ruffled and dirty. One of his front claws was bloody, most likely from a snagged claw. Shaking her head, she spoke gently, worry in her voice. "I can't imagine how scary that must have been for your entire clan. It's a blessing each and every one of you made it out. I know Feathersoul and Wolfstorm have kits. How are they handling all of this.? I'm surprised they made it well." She glanced at Shadedspeck once more. "But even more surprised that he made it out. Though, I know Silentstar. And she would give her own life for her fathers."
While she herself wasn't young anymore, she was the youngest by many moons. And while they all were together now, the elder was sure that the clans would be leaving soon. How would they fend on a journey from the place they had grown up in. And which way would they go.? Through the mountains.? A place that seemed so treacherous and cold. Especially during the leaf-bare. A chill ran through her gray body at the thought of her aching hips and toes, traveling through a steep and snowy slope. "I wonder what we'll do next."

Eaglecry Tom ; Warrior ; 20 Moons
As a body thumped into him, the orange and black tom whirled around, fur puffing up. Ears flattened, he drew his lips back to reveal sharp teeth. Upon realizing it was the Bluffclan warrior, Brookesong, the usually feisty and irritable tom flattened his fur and forced himself to relax. The timid look of the brown molly and the fear scent rolling off her in waves, startled him a bit. Green eyes lingered on his blind eye for a moment, before she ducked her head. Softening his good eye, a light look filled his orange eye. Sitting on his hindquarters, he gently reached a paw out to pat hers.
"Hey, it's quite alright. Tensions are just high, and there is absolutely no room in here."
Turning his head as a flicker of black fur caught his good eye, he noticed Jackdawstar jumping up to call a meeting. At his words, his eyes widened in shock and his fur ruffled slightly on his shoulders. Leave.? With Bluffclan.? Would they all be able to make such a journey. He forced his fur flat and turned his attention back to the molly beside him. "Looks like we'll all be learning to work together."

Foxtumble Tom ; Warrior ; 28 Moons
As she gave in and started to eat, relief washed over the large orange warrior. He gave a soft sigh of happiness and settled beside her, curling his bushy tail over her tiny body. While her stomach was swollen, her body was quite frail. Giving a gentle lick over the ears, Foxtumble only purred softly at her words. It was good to see her in such spirits, even when the life was being sucked out of her. Worry still hung over his head like a storm cloud. Outside the nursery, he could hear the announcement for the clans to leave at dawn. Shock sparked through him as a cough rattled his mates orange body.
"I don't know how in Starclans name, everyone will make such a journey. You're in no shape for that. Especially being so close to your kitting."
❖ [Vixenshine(~Skyblaze~ )] ❖ [ the nursery ] ❖ [Heathclan]•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• Swiftpaw Molly ; Apprentice ; 10 Moons
As the handsome white tom turned his one blue and one amber eye on her, she felt her ear-tips grow warmer. Mischief glimmered in his gaze as he teased her about the last gathering. She kneaded the ground slightly, before flicking him with her tail. A roll of her eyes and a snort sounded as she answered Blizzardpaw. "I was told that I had to let the other apprentices experience the gatherings too. I'd already been to every one since I'd become an apprentice."
Shaking her head softly, she glanced at all the apprentices around them, before turning her attention back to the den where the Heathclan cats resided. Giving a nod, she turned and led the way from the camp. Though, she avoided the main entrance and slipped out a small exit behind the apprentices den. "Come on, I know a short cut. And we can stay out of the warriors way. From the sound of it, we'll need to rest as much as we can. We have a long journey ahead of us." •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Moonpaw Molly ; Apprentice ; 10 Moons
Eyes widened in awe as Birdscreech when on and on about bees and wasps. While most found him full of bees in his brain, she found a strange fascination to his antics. After a moment, she noticed her mentor padding away with Fernheart and qave a quick dip of her head. "I apologize, Birdscreech. But I must be going. My mentor is waiting on me. Maybe later you can teach me more." With a flick of her tail, the light brown molly turned and booked after Stagrunner. Fur bristled slightly as she came upon Foxpounce and Rushingfire standing nose to nose, but she quickly moved around them and headed after the two warriors.
Pawsteps light, she watched with amused eyes as Stagrunner walked beside the tortoiseshell molly. Like much of the clan, she was well aware of the feelings her mentor had for the molly. Though she herself, seemed oblivious to the toms feelings. With a shake of her head, she followed after them, keeping silent and listening to the land around them. Everything seemed so still, it almost scared her.
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Spiderwatcher Molly ; Warrior ; 40 Moons
As the clan moved around her and Jackdawstar made his announcment, Spiderwatcher gave a sigh of relief. A plan was being made. Shadowpuddle and Wolfstorm would take over on dealing with the warriors, she could focus on her apprentice. As the thought of Windpaw crossed her mind, the younger molly appeared beside her. Giving a soft purr, she turned and touched her nose to Windpaw's. The scent of mouse was thick on her maw. "Did you catch a mouse, Windpaw.?'
Pride was thick in the molly's gaze as she stared at the gray and black molly. While she was still young, the apprentice had shown such dedication and promise in the three moons that Spiderwatcher had become her mentor. She had been pleased to receive the skillful molly as her apprentice. Giving a swipe of her tail along Windpaw's spine, she purred softly. "We can try to go back out hunting, or you can rest." ❖ [ With Everyone! (~Skyblaze~ (Windpaw) ] ❖ [ the camp ] ❖ [Heathclan]

Birdscreech Bluffclan || in Heathclan medicine cat’s den with Pinefrost
Birdscreech beamed and waved his tail, watching the apprentice pad off to her mentor. “I like the spark in that young one’s eyes,” Birdscreech said out loud. Finally, he poked his head into the medicine cat’s den. “Hello!” he called into the space. “I am here!” He paused. “Birdscreech is here! Pinefrost?”
He stumbled over to where he saw drying herbs. “I kind of knocked my head around a little bit, not on purpose mind you, very much on accident - though that there rock might have done it on purpose, who knows you me. You know what this ol’ brain might need? A solid rest in a nest. Hehe, rest in a nest, nest in a rest…” He wandered over to one of the patient nests that lined the side of the den. “Reporting headache and slight disorientation! Much confusion! Though I still very much know who I am - unless I am not Birdscreech the medicine cat, in which case my head trauma is quite severe!”
He hopped into a nest and proceeded to curl up. “Don’t you mind me, I should be fine in a few hours or so as long as I don’t fall asleep!” Honeyshade Heathclan || in Heathclan with Rowanblaze
Everything seemed to bubble up to the top of her lungs, before extinguishing out in a long breath. A sigh of relief? Despair? “I suppose,” she said, “we are leaving after all.”
Honeyshade looked over to her deputy. “Well, duty calls. Maybe we’ll be able to hunt a little, gather supplies for the trip.” Her calm mask betrayed very little of the anxious storm brewing within. Dawn? So soon? When she had pondered leaving she had imagined maybe a week, a few moonrises to prepare, not just prey-wise but emotionally, mentally, saying good-bye to well-tread paths and dens woven by paws of old.
But then again, Bluffclan didn’t get that at all, did they? Honeyshade couldn’t imagine being so abruptly torn away from home. She wondered how the other clan cats were handling such a horrible fate…
Bluffclan || in Heathclan camp
“I,” declared Blazingsky, “am a champion.”
The self-declared buff Bluffclan cat was posed in mid-stride, showing off his flank and telling his dramatic tale to any who would listen. “There I was! Reeling from the blow my monstrous foe dealt me. I lay prone but for a moment before I sprang up, and charged! Digging my claws and fangs deep enough to draw blood! The twoleg howled like a little baby kit and ran off, stunned at my display of ferocity!”
Of course, the tale may be slightly exaggerated. Blazingsky had indeed thrown himself at a twoleg, all claws a-blazing, but was promptly knocked out of the air when the twoleg turned around and the carrier in its hand smacked Blazingsky right in the ribs. Blazingsky was still wheezing a little from such an event. But these Heathclan cats didn’t need to know that!
Blazingsky then mimicked trudging across the floor. “Then! I pulled up an elder on my back! Then another! And our two kits! Before I was bravely racing across the moor to bring these four -“ Blazingsky paused for a moment, quickly counting on his claws, “- yes, four fellow clan mates to the safety of this beautiful camp. Might I just say, I love the way you decorate.”

STORMCHILL heathclan camp / with foxpounce, mysticpaw & mossystream
Stormchill remained silent as Spiderwatcher assigned patrols -- as if she were HeathClan's deputy; as if being the leader's sister gave her special administrative privileges. He fumed inwardly at being chastised like a petulant kit. His tail-tip flicked from side to side and his blue eyes narrowed, his gaze hard as flint and cold as ice. The intended meaning behind her words was not lost on him: you're making the others uncomfortable and you need to leave. Go make yourself useful, away from here. The rational part of his brain knew that he was overreacting and that Spiderwatcher was only trying to restore order and normalcy in whatever way she could. But hunger had dimmed rational thought and sharpened survivalist instincts. Desperate times and empty bellies made tempers short.
Instead of responding verbally, the dark grey tom held his tongue and dipped his head curtly. Arguing would not improve the situation. Only action could remedy the problems that beset his beloved Clan. He would hunt, yes, but he would hunt for HeathClan. In ordinary times, he would have no qualms about extending a helping paw to their neighbors, but these were not ordinary times. HeathClan could barely take care of itself. To pretend they could afford to spare food and shelter for BluffClan was not only unrealistic, but cruel as well. It was wrong to give these exhausted, battered cats false hope.
But, as Spiderwatcher had said, it was not Stormchill's decision to make. Jackdawstar had made his choice. Stormchill lifted his chin as the HeathClan leader took to the Great Rock. His frosty gaze joined the dozens of others staring expectantly up at Jackdawstar. A hush settled over the clearing, the hum of voices around him softening to a quiet murmur. Then, the leader spoke.
Leave the territories? Shock fizzed beneath Stormchill's pelt. No one could deny the twoleg situation was that bad, especially now that BluffClan had apparently been driven from their territory. But still. Leave behind everything we've ever known? Abandon the land our ancestors have inhabited for seasons upon seasons? Stormchill couldn't quite believe it was actually happening. He'd never thought it would come to this. This day just kept getting worse and worse.
Somewhere behind him, angry yowls sliced through the frigid air. He flattened his ears and turned around. Rushingfire and Foxpounce -- of course it was Foxpounce, the cat he was supposed to take out on patrol -- were tussling on the grass a few yards away. StarClan's whiskers. "Hey!" Stormchill barked, striding over to interrupt the brawl before it could draw any more attention. "That's enough! We can scarcely afford infighting at a time like this, especially when we have guests in our camp!" He shoved his way in between the two toms, glaring at Foxpounce. "Foxpounce, we've a hunting patrol to attend to. Let's go fetch Mysticpaw and Mossystream and be on our way, and then you can take your anger out on whatever unlucky rodent we stumble across out there."
CLOUDPAW heathclan camp / with hornetpaw, seapaw, morningpaw & ashpaw
Cloudpaw visibly relaxed at Hornetpaw's familiar joking. He doubted HeathClan's apprentices knew about his peculiar hobby. He'd always wanted to bring a few of his favorite specimens to a Gathering though. Not that it mattered anymore; now that they were evidently going to be living together, there was no longer any need for Gatherings. He let out a quiet sigh, rolling his eyes at his brother's antics. Blizzardpaw might have gotten scratched up, but his ego was no worse for wear. He'd be fine.
"Why don't we take them up on the offer? I think we could all use a rest," Hornetpaw suggested, sweeping his gaze from Cloudpaw to the other two apprentices. Cloudpaw recognized the sisters from Gatherings. He didn't know Morningpaw and Ashpaw all that well, but his easygoing nature made it easy for him to befriend strangers. He usually had no trouble making himself at home among others.
"Hi Morningpaw, hi Ashpaw," he meowed amiably, greeting the mollies with a friendly, lopsided smile. He glanced over at Hornetpaw and Seapaw. "I feel like we should be helping... that's what our mentors would want, isn't it? But, then again, I guess we'll be able to help out more once we're fully rested, right?" As always, he felt somewhat guilty at wanting to nap when he should be doing something productive. But given that his home had just been obliterated, he felt justified in this case. Plus, he needed a new place to safely stash his one remaining rock.

Mossystream-Heathclan Camp-Stormchill( Tealraven) Mysticpaw( ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)? Foxpounce( aether) Mossystream was out in the clearing watching the cats. The camp was fuller now with the other clan residing with them. She had heard Jackdawstar's call that they were leaving in the morning. It caused a bit of worry to go through her. Mossystream could understand why they had to leave, from what she heard twolegs destroyed Bluffclan camp, so how long till Heathclan's camp meets the same fate. She rose to her paws and walked away from where she had been sitting off to the side. She wanted to be able to help out. Morningpaw-Heathclan Camp-With Ashpaw, Hornetpaw( ~Skyblaze~), Cloudpaw( Tealraven), Seapaw( aether) Morningpaw looked over at the other apprentices. She tilted her head to the side at Cloudpaw, had the tom forgotten they were from the same clan? She smiled at them, happy that they seemed unharmed from their escape from camp. "We should rest yea, but won't the other apprentices put up a fight dealing with us in their den," she asked rising to her paws. She didn't talk much with the Heathclan apprentices preferring to just stay with her own clan, as she knew she would meet them on a battle field so she was nervous to make friends with cats in Heathclan. "But maybe our mentors would let us help without resting? Some of us are still likely pumping with energy from everything that happened back at camp." Ashpaw-Heathclan Camp-look to Morningpaw's interactions Ashpaw gave a wave of greeting with her tail to the other Bluffclan apprentices. She looked around the other clan's camp from where they were. It felt off being in the camp, but from what their leader said, it was just for one night. Then they were going to the mountains. The thought sent shivers through her fur, she had heard stories of how dangerous the mountains could be. "I'm not sure if there is much we can do though," she said. "We could see if there is hunting or anything that needs to be done, but im not sure we would do well on their kind of territory," he aid, Ashpaw didn't mean any bad will behind her comment. She just wasn't sure how they would fair on hunting on the moors that Heathclan made their territory on. |

Stormclaw
Male - Straight - 23 moons
fire
HeathClan
[ Ambitious | Adventurous | Sarcastic ]
[ ]
Credit goes to Felidaze! (please credit them if you add him to the allegiances!) Stormclaw is a black tom with dark blue eyes. He is lithe and lean, and since he is very tall, he can seem physically imposing from a distance and up close. He stands almost a head above almost everyone in his Clan.Stormclaw is an ambitious tom with dreams of becoming deputy. He is adventurous as well, and will often explore different parts of HeathClan territory that other cats normally wouldn't. He can be sarcastic and hot-headed, as his temper is something he never quite learned how to control. Overall, he is friendly and kind to the cats in his Clan and will always be ready to fight for himself and his Clan.
WarriorHistory, kin, relationships, other (all optional).Can Stormclaw be Muse I? I feel like his personality and name fits it perfectly, and it seems like an interesting subplot. |

Hopefully we can get the show on the road soon!)
