Rowanblaze
Tom - Hetero - 39 moons
aether
HeathClan
[ Humorous | Trusting | Kind ]
[ Reference Photo ]Rowanblaze is an averaged size tom with medium-length fur that covers his lean, muscled frame. He has a soft, sandy ginger tabby pelt, and warm amber eyes. He has very long, white whiskers.
Rowanblaze is a kind tom who is well known for his optimism and his trusting attitude. He is a selfless tom and often puts others before himself. Rowanblaze is very trusting, especially towards his clanmates, and is therefore easy to manipulate. He is also comedic and when times are tense or sad he makes an effort to lighten the mood even if he is exhausted himself.
Warrior
He is interested in Honeyshade.
[ that's my real life cat btw <3 he lives with my brother and his name is leeboy and yes he is the best cat in the world ] |

Wolfstorm / Deputy / To HeathClan Border / with Silentstar (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Wolfstorm didn't let go until he saw the twoleg drop Tinykit. Only then did the large warrior stop inflicting his punishment, detaching himself from its arm and landing beside his mate. He felt a surge of satisfaction at the taste of tinny blood in his jaws. The twoleg had gotten his due for daring to try and hurt his son. Nodding his gratitude to Tinycloud for his part in the rescue, he followed Silentstar, Featherfall, Feathersoul, and Tinycloud out of camp, making sure both kits stayed put with their respective carriers. He picked up his pace so he was running beside Silentstar. "Will Jackdawstar let us cross?" He muttered quietly as they ran. With the kits and elders running, it was clear this was no invasion, yet he had misgivings that they would be able to shelter their entire Clan when they had little for themselves. Lynxkit / Kit / To HeathClan Border / with Featherfall / (aether)Lynxkit for her part was confused and alarmed at the sudden chaos erupting in camp. It seemed every cat, even her parents, were scared. Of course, Lynxkit wasn't scared! Nothing scared her! She was brave! Then, the twoleg had found Tinykit, and she let out a pitiful wail as she immediately deflated. She was scared. Scared for her brother. Scared for her parents. Scared for their Clan. As they found themselves in the trees, and away from the awful hairless beasts, her courage began to return, and as she saw Tinykit safely with their mother once more, her pelt flooded with embarrassment at the surge of panic she had felt. How unlike her! She squirmed slightly, trying to cover her embarrassment with indignation. "I can walk myself." She offered with an indignant mew. Her Clanmates had seen her afraid. That made for a very annoyed Lynxkit. Streamfrost / Warrior / To HeathClan Border / with Shadedspeck (♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Streamfrost responded with a deep, resolute growl as she led Shadedspeck away from the chaos, eyes narrowed for any approaching twolegs. "Don't worry, Shadedspeck, you're going to have to put up with me for a bit longer." She mewed lightly, trying to keep the elderly tom calm. In truth, she was in shock just like the rest of the Clan, and her neck fur was bristling with anger and alarm. She relaxed slightly only when they finally made it out of Camp, rejoining with Silentstar's group as well as Rushingfire and Beetleflight. "We're out of camp, Shadedspeck." She updated the Elder as she began the trek to the border alongside her clanmates. "Silentstar and Wolfstorm made it out okay. Featherfall and the kits, too. Rushingfire's got Beetleflight as well." Her tone was neutral and soothing, trying to reassure the elder, though she was wondering too if everything would be okay. Hornetpaw / Apprentice / To HeathClan Border / with Seapaw and Falconpaw (aether)Hornetpaw spotted Falconpaw shortly after Seapaw did, and joined the two sisters in their escape. He was the oldest apprentice, and he knew he had to protect his less experienced denmates. He covered their escape, making sure no twolegs surprised them as they made it out of camp. He let out a breath of relief as they found themselves in the trees. Alongside the two littermates and many other Clanmates, he began to head for HeathClan. Blizzardpaw / Apprentice / To HeathClan Border / with Cloudpaw (Tealraven)"Cloudpaw!" Blizzardpaw looked back at his brother impatiently as the other tom looked over his nest stashed with his personal treasures. "Cloudpaw, for StarClan's sake!" He was prepared to yank his brother out of the den himself if he had to. Thankfully, Cloudpaw had the sense to leave, but not before dashing forward to take a rock with him. Blizzardpaw let out a huff of frustration. His brother's priorities often seemed to lack sense in these situations. His irritation melted as he saw the mass of twolegs swarming the camp, and his fur bushed out as he growled defensively. "We're going now." He meowed decisively, leading the charge to the edge of the camp. Blizzardpaw had never been one to shirk a fight, and as twolegs closed in, he slashed, clawed, and yowled his fury at any who got too close. He would make sure that Cloudpaw made it out. Twolegs were blocking the entrance by now, and as he looked around, it appeared every cat had the same idea. The camp is doomed. He thought with a pang. With renewed vigor, he burst through the camp wall, ignoring the tearing brambles. It was the only way out now, and it would pave a path for Cloudpaw. He winced as blood oozed from the scratches. "Come on, Cloudpaw!" He yowled, looking back at his brother. Beetleflight / Elder / To HeathClan Border / with Rushingfire ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥)Beetleflight's legs screamed in protest at the unwarranted exertion of running. The tom was in good shape, but he was undeniably old, and going suddenly from a deep sleep to rigorous exercise was taking its toll on him. He was panting hard as he followed Rushingfire to the HeathClan border alongside their clanmates, eyes mere slits as he stumbled through the trees. "Thank you, Rushingfire." He wheezed between pants. "You're a good lad." Although Rushingfire was older himself, at Beetleflight's age, he might as well still be a young warrior. Almost the whole Clan still seemed like kits to him. He meant it in the nicest way, of course. Beetleflight was sincere in his gratitude that the warrior took the time to come to his aid when he could have just as easily left him and saved himself. Falconpaw / Apprentice / to HeathClan Border / with Seapaw (aether) Before Falconpaw could do anything, she felt something shove her out of the way. Silentstar! She bit back a protest, knowing that she would be outmatched in a situation like this. There was nothing more she could do here. Her leader and deputy would help Tinykit. Swallowing the bitterness of defeat, and rage at the twolegs that had caused this, she turned and pelted towards HeathClan, heart pounding in fear for her clanmates. She hoped all of them would make it out okay. They will not take our warriors today! She told herself fiercely, trying to quell her doubts. She needed to focus on finding the HeathClan border. In her panic, she had veered off course. Relief flooded her as her sister's scent wreathed her, and she spotted her approaching with Hornetpaw in tow. "Seapaw! You're okay!" She mewed with undisguised relief. Her sister by her side was what she needed to control her fear, and she began the race to the HeathClan border with Seapaw by her side. Seapaw always had a way of making the reserved apprentice feel a little bolder.

Silentstar Molly ; Leader ; 70 Moons
By the time Silentstar had woven her way around, most of her clan had escaped. Even as she watched them go, one by one, she stood her ground. She would not leave until every last member had disappeared amongst the trees. Weaving between legs and skidding around outreached hands, the leader checked every corner of camp, giving soft calls to hear for anyone trapped. It wasn't until the screech from Whiskerflick for help, that the molly finally whipped around and dove for the wooded area that outlined the edge of camp.
Letting out a frustrated snarl, she swiped with vicious claws at a twoleg as it tried to block her. A growl of success escaped her throat as claws met its leg and an angry howl sounded from the twoleg. Within heartbeats, she was at her warriors side. Propping her shoulder under her medicine cats other side and helping to guide the unsteady tom along. She pushed them as fast as they could manage, practically having the two of them carrying Birdscreech. Like always, the tom made absolutely no sense, yet this time is sounded worrisome. Had he hit his head.? Would he be alright.? Would Jackdawstar help them.?
Panic overwhelmed the black and white Bengal for a moment, her heart about to explode in her chest. Each beat of her heart, pounding against her chest, Fast and strong. Most of her clan had reached the border at this point, a few of them trailing behind with the two elders of her clan. Shouldn't she be able to breathe easier, knowing her clanmates hadn't let anyone behind.? Why did it feel like the world was falling around her.?
While she had expected her deputy to have been with his mate, the tom was by her side as they traveled to the border. His question hung thick in the air as they headed for the only safe place they knew. She gave a sigh, shaking her head, before responding to Wolfstorm. "I don't know, My dear warrior. But I can't see him turning us away. We shall find out. I'll talk to him, you make sure out clan is safe. Your mate is safe."
Squinting her tan eyes, the molly swore she could spot two dark figures at the border line, greeting her clanmates that had reached the border first. It took her a moment before she noticed the Leader to Heathclan and his younger sister. How strange it was that the two happened to be at the border the same time they needed help the most. Was it Starclan's way of bringing them together.? Was it their way of making sure they had help, when it was needed most.?
As the questions swirled in her mind, the rest of her clan made it to the border. She left Whiskerflick and Birdscreech's side, running her tail along their spines and giving a nod, before stepping up to meet Jackdawstar. She had to weave among her startled and exhausted clan, though she moved carefully, touching her nose to each body she passed. Upon reaching the dark furred tom, she gave a curt dip of her head. Swallowing her pride, Silentstar felt herself standing stiff, her legs quivering beneath her body. "Hello, Jackdawstar. I am so sorry to burden you..But we seem to have run into a problem. The twolegs invaded our camp. Tried to trap us. Take us. Destroyed our dens. As you can see.." She paused, sweeping her front right leg to gesture to each of her clanmates. "We are without shelter. We are not safe in Bluffclan territory.."
The words almost came out choked, her eyes clouding slightly. It was clear how hard it was for the independent and successful leader, to admit defeat. To have to ask for help from Heathclan. "Is there anyway you could take us in..Just for now. My warriors and apprentices can sleep wherever, I just ask that Feathersoul and her kits, and the two elders have somewhere safe and warm to sleep..As well as my Medicine cat. We can help with food." Meeting the toms yellow gaze, her own tan eyes became sad and broken. What would become of her beloved Bluffclan now.?

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Feathersoul Molly ; Queen ; 35 Moons
Feathersoul had, of course, been the first of the Bluffclan cats to reach the border. The moment the queen had snatched ahold of her tiny son, she'd tore her way through Bluffclan territory with Featherfall, who had her kit, Lynxkit. It didn't take long after, for her clanmates to start bundling around them. As she set her little Mini-me son down, the fluffy brown and white molly leaned in to sniff the fluffy tortoiseshell bundle that was her daughter. She could very faintly hear the leader of Heathclan. He was asking about Silentstar.
Where was Silentstar.? The question suddenly had Feathersoul looking around. No one bothered to even answer Jackdawstar. Everyone was panting, exhausted, in shock. No one had expected what had just happened, to happen. And yet, here they all were. Crouched in a group, looking around, shock in their gazes. Yet, in the distance, working her way towards the group, was Silentstar herself. She moved quickly, but carefully, helping to guide Birdscreech along with Whiskerflick.
Turning her attention back to her kits, she gave Lynxkit a lick, before turning to Featherfall. Giving the warrior a soft and grateful dip of her head, warmth filled her heart. Even in the darkest of times, she was so very thankful for her clanmates. "Thank you for helping to get my kits out of there. I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to my little ones." ❖ [Featherfall(aether ) Wolfstorm & Lynxkit(~Skyblaze~ )] ❖ [ the camp ] ❖ [Bluffclan]•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• Graypebble Molly ; Elder ; 76 Moons
Curled up in a tight ball, the sleek-furred molly slept soundly. Her dreams were filled of raindrops and birdsong. A weird combination, as most days of rain, the birds would become silent and still. She was stalking a thick rabbit, her amber eyes narrowed in concentration. Just as she was about to leap, an obnoxious snore woke her. Flickering open her eyes, she turned her head to find the culprit. Of course, she knew it was Sagetail, even before she had turned her head. The elderly tom was notorious for loud snoring.
Just as she was stretching to jab the white and dark tabby tom, he kicked out, waking himself from sleep. Graypebble, of course, was not expecting this and practically jumped out of her fur at his kick. Giving a startled hiss, she dipped her head and gave her chest a few quick licks of embarrassment. As she licked her fur flat once more, she perked her ears up to hear the tom speaking of his dream. It took her a moment to process that he had asked her a question, in the end.
"Hmm.? Oh. Sorry. Yeah, No. I was just about to catch this juicy looking rabbit." She flexed her claws, amber eyes glinting with a small hint of hunger. Her belly rumbled as she spoke. "But, Your snoring woke me. As usual. I swear, your snoring reminds me of the twoleg monsters that have been tearing up the land." In a teasing gesture, the molly mocked his snores, though hers sounded quite a bit more dramatic. Her snores cut off in a fit of rusty laughter as the elderly gray molly blinked warmly at her denmate.
While she didn't get friendly with many, and kept her distance from most, Sagetail was different. She'd grown fond of the tom since she'd been forced to retire. Her hips and toes catching such a case of arthritis, she found difficulty even moving most days. Even on her moodiest days, the tom tries to keep the air light. He tolerated her, and did his best to understand her, even though she knew it was hard. To her, the tom was a friend. Someone she would feel lost without. Even with their moons in age difference and quite the different personalities, she felt quite attached the the tom.
❖ [ Sagetail(aether )] ❖ [ the elders den. ] ❖ [Heathclan]
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Spiderwatcher Molly ; Warrior ; 40 Moons
Keeping close to her brother, the lithe black molly watched with wide eyes as the whole of Bluffclan dove down the slope towards them. Her fur rose along her spine, not at the clan cats, but at the fact that the entire clan had to evacuate. She spotted Feathersoul with Featherfall, both carrying the queens two kits. Apprentices and warriors alike. Two of the warriors were guiding the elders of the clan, one being Silentstars father, down towards the Heathclan border. And finally, Silentstar with her medicine cat and the warrior, Whiskerflick. Every single feline in the clan looked frightened, in shock, and exhausted.
As the leader of Bluffclan approached the border, Spiderwatcher nudged Jackdawstar with her nose. Flicking her ears towards Silentstar to let her brother know that she was approaching. As Silentstar spoke, the black molly couldn't help but blink her surprise. How hard it must be for the white and black bengal to admit she needed help. To force herself to accept help. She could tell that it tore a peice of the leader apart. How rigid she stood, how her fur ruffled up. She imagined it would be just as hard for her own leader to have to do the same thing. •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• Shadedspeck Tom ; Elder ; 150 Moons
Though her tone was soothing as they walked, Shadedspeck was well aware of the tension in the young cats shoulders. He had lived longer than most clan cats, and was well aware that this situation would effect everyone. Yet, he let her words soothe his soul and he touched his nose to her shoulder. In a way, her scent soothed him. A familiar presence in a time of need. Yet, as they worked their way to the border, the elderly black and white tom couldn't help but feel like a burden to his clanmates. They'd risked their lives to save him, when he couldn't even see or hardly hear. He worked on scent mostly and feel, grateful for the moments he could hear his clanmates.
As they reached the border where the rest of their clanmates gathered, Shadedspeck slumped to the ground, wheezing and gasping for breath. Every inch of him ached and all he wanted to do was sleep. Trying to gather his strength, the elder settled his head on his from paws, trying to listen to what was being said around him. Yet at that moment, all he could hear was an awful buzzing in his ears. "Starclan knows, I wish I was in better shape right now."
❖ [ Streamfrost(~Skyblaze~) ] ❖ [ the border. ] ❖ [Bluffclan]
Tinykit Tom ; Kit ; 1 Moons
Upon being set down, Tinykit hid between his mothers front legs. Between his fur and her fluffy fur, as well as matching her almost perfectly, the little tom became almost invisible. It wasn't until his sister was set down, that he rushed forwards, wrapping around her. A thick purr stuck in his throat and he meowled sadly at her. "I thought I was a gonna be done for sure! I can't believe they got me free! I was so scared, not being able to help you out of there, Lynxkit."
Though the little brown and white tom was smaller than his sister, he insisted on pretending he could protect her. His spunky personality made it possible for him to think that way. He swore to himself, one day, he would be big and strong and he'd be able to protect everyone.
From where they sat, he could just make out the two new black felines that he had never seen. Their smell was much different from the smell of his own clanmates. "Who is that.?" He pointed at Jackdawstar with his tiny paw, eyes wide and curious. ❖ [Lynxkit(~Skyblaze~ ] ❖ [ the camp ] ❖ [Bluffclan] •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Rushingfire Tom ; Senior Warrior ; 68 Moons
At the elders wheezy thanks, Rushingfire simply just gave a dip of his head. There was no need to waste breath as they escaped down the slope. Their journey was far from over, and they would need all the strength they could muster. Once they hit the border, the tom was relieved to see that everyone else seemed accounted for. The elders and leader were among the last of the clan to finally reach the rest of the clan. And to much of their surprise, Jackdawstar and Spiderwatcher were standing at the border, waiting for them.
Gently nudging Beetleflight to sit, he gave the elder a few quick lick over the back, hoping to calm his breathing. "Come now, Beetleflight. Take some deep breaths and rest for a moment. Silentstar and Jackdawstar will talk, then we will continue on. Our journey is not over yet." Even as the words left his mouth, the warrior truly had no idea how true his words were. Life was about to become much more difficult, for many of the clan cats. "How are your joints.? Your paws.? Your head.? Are you feeling alright.?"

CLOUDPAW to heathclan border / with blizzardpaw & bluffclan
Beside him, Blizzardpaw made a determined face, fur bristling. "We're going now." The white tom said it in a tone of voice that wasn't open to debate, and Cloudpaw wasn't about to argue. He bolted after his brother, running like his tail was on fire. Cloudpaw swerved around one of the two-legged creature's legs, eyes wide and ears flattened against his head in terror. He narrowly avoided a swift kick to his flank as he skidded after Blizzardpaw. The brothers catapulted to a halt in front of the camp entrance, which was blocked. There appeared to be no way out. Dread welled up in Cloudpaw's belly. He'd never been particularly good at fighting, and that was against other cats; how was he supposed to measure up against creatures more than twice his size?
Then, Blizzardpaw ducked to one side and launched himself through the camp wall. Cloudpaw hurtled after him, biting back a yowl of surprise and pain as thorns dug into his sides. He could hear Blizzardpaw shouting something up ahead and pushed forward with renewed strength. The grey and white tom burst out of the brambles and raced down the slopes leading away from the camp. "Up ahead!" He gasped, jerking his head towards their Clanmates. It seemed that all of BluffClan was streaming down towards the border with HeathClan. Cloudpaw didn't know what was going to happen once they reached the boundary, but he didn't really care. Too breathless to exchange anything more than a relieved glance with Blizzardpaw, he raced onward. I hope Hornetpaw made it through all this, he thought desperately.

Jackdawstar felt his heart beating in his chest, each pulse sent vibrations in his ears that sounded like a waterfall. His eyes scanned over the cats that ascended the slop towards the border. Suddenly, he felt a tail brush his side and he glanced to his side to stare at the twinkling, translucent form of Dovefur. Her clear mint coloured eyes were full of serious emotions and she gave a small nod. It's time. He could hear her voice like a whisper on the bone chilling wind. His heart filled with strong emotions and he moved to brush his muzzle against hers, but she faded before he could. Had anyone else seen her? His former deputy... his first love... how can I do it without you? He wanted to curl up and mewl like a kit. How could he help the clans when he hadn't been able to save her?
Spiderwatcher's gentle nudge on his shoulder made Jackdawstar turn his attention back and he watched as Silentstar came to his front. He could see the crestfallen look in her eyes that was mimicked in the look of her clanmates. How could he deny them the request of sanctuary in his camp? Fear flashed in his mind as he glanced towards the hungry clan who looked as starved as his own. Cats who he knew were usually bright now looked bedraggled with dull coats and hungry, dark eyes. There was no more prey on the moor to feed them; even with extra paws to hunt, there was no prey.
It's time. He felt as though he could still Dovefur by his side. Digging his claws into the cold earth he looked at Silentstar with yellow eyes that began to blaze with determination. "Yes, come to HeathClan." He raised his voice to address the fear-riddled clan, "You can all take refuge in my camp. I would not turn away anyone who needs my help." He turned his attention back to Silentstar and murmured quietly to her, "I have something I want to discuss with you."
With a sweep of his tail he gestured for the cats to follow and he turned and began padding towards the HeathClan camp. He glanced back to Silentstar's spotted form and meowed in a hushed voice, "HeathClan has no extra prey to feed everyone. We've hardly any prey to feed the elders..." He sucked in a shuddering breath, his next words caught in his throat, and he made as effort to speak them, "I think we should leave the territories... for good. I was thinking of going towards the mountains..." His voice trailed as he gauged the other leaders reaction. Whether she would join him or not, he would have to do what is best for his own clan.
Sagetail- 🍃Graypebble || HeathClan || ♥𝔉𝔯𝔬𝔰𝔱ℜ𝔬𝔰𝔢♥ Elders den
Sagetail flicked his tail in feigned irritation as Graypebble began to mock his snoring and he let out an exaggerated hmph. At her laugh, he let out an amused purr of his own and shook his head slowly. Throughout her time in the den he'd watched Graypebble change. It had taken him a long time to get her to come out of her shell, many days of prodding, joking, and chattering to her without much reply. He was glad to see her relax around him.
"You snore too you know," he prodded her with one of his forepaws, "you sound like... like... Foxpounce!" Foxpounce was another clan mate who was notorious for his snoring.
He paused for a moment and angled his ears towards the den entrance. He shuffled on his hind paws so he could push himself up and he poked his head from the den curiously. "I think I can smell BluffClan cats... too many scents to know who it could be though." The chilled wind carried the scent over the empty moor, but Sagetail wasn't yet able to see the cats.
The thought of leaving their home made Fernheart's pelt crawl and she narrowed her eyes as she looked down at her paws. What if there isn't anywhere better to go? The territories are our home but... we can't stay here. She feared that they wouldn't be able to find anywhere quiet like the home they had now. She nodded to Honeyshade, "You're right, the sooner the better. It's so hard to find prey that the longer we wait the weaker we become." She thought about Sagetail, who struggled with his asthma, and Graypebble who walked stiffly with her arthritis. They were hardly fit to travel a long distance.
Distress welled in her chest and her shoulders sagged. She felt lost and concern, but helpless like a kit.
Foxpounce- 🍃Scarletfall|| HeathClan || Ember34 Camp
If there was any particular reason why Foxpounce chose to address Scarletfall that morning, he didn't make it obvious. The ginger and white tom strode across the camp clearing, only glancing back to see if Scarletfall had followed. "Let's not come back to camp until either of us has caught-" He paused and perked his ears curiously at the distant sounded. He whipped his head around and parted his jaws to take in the scent of BluffClan cats. Immediately, his pelt began to bristle. "I think there are intruders on our territory!" He snarled and unsheathed his claws. "If they come to camp, we'd best to ready to attack." Was that a glimmer in his eyes? The tom almost seemed excited at the prospect of a battle despite how scrawny and weak he looked.
Whiskerflick - 🌊 Birdscreech || BluffClan || willowflower Clan border
With Silentstar's help, Whiskerflick was able to move swiftly as he aided Birdscreech towards the border. As the elderly medicine cat slurred, Whiskerflick could only feel his concern growing. There wasn't anyone here who could help him but at the mention of Pinefrost he felt a flicker of hope in his chest. Of course! HeathClan's medicine cat can help, "I'm sure Pinefrost is doing well, and she'll be able to fix you right up Birdscreech," he pushed himself to sound upbeat.
At the border he looked back to the older tom, "Alright, do you think you can walk? You can still lean on me - you're not heavy." The starvation had left Birdscreech much like everyone else; scrawny. He hardly weighed more than a 6 moon old apprentice. Whiskerflick in his young age was scrawny himself but his young muscles still held strong.
Seapaw- 🌊 Falconpaw || BluffClan || ~Skyblaze~ Clan border
Seapaw was quick to bump her head under Falconpaw's chin and brush her muzzle over her sisters, a display of sisterly love and affection. "You're okay!" Seapaw's voice choked in her throat and when she stepped back her eyes glowed with relief. She glanced back towards the clan and flicked her whiskers, "Let's keep up."
At the border she waited, much like everyone else, with anxious eyes until Jackdawstar confirmed they were welcome into the moorland cats home. Despite the situation, she couldn't help the flicker of interest as her paws pressed onto the bunchy grass and she moved towards the other clans home. "We've never been this close to HeathClan's home..." she murmured, eyes gazing around the barren moorland. She could see areas of upturned earth and jutting rocks and wondered if there was anymore prey here than there was back at their camp. "I'm kind of scared," she admitted with a shuffle of her paws.
Featherfall could feel Lynxkit become restless in her jaws so she placed the small tortoiseshell onto the ground. When she looked up again, she met Feathersoul's gaze and offered a small dip of her head. "Of course," her voice was soft but brief. Featherfall herself had never been a fan of kits. She found them to be annoying, in all honesty, but without kits the clan would never grow. It was her duty to do all she could to help and protect them.
some of the replies are brief, sorry, but as they get into heathclan there will be more to do! |

Scarletfall-Heathclan camp-Foxpounce( aether) Scarletfall gave a small jump at the mention of the intruders. Her fur bristling a bit as she began to scent the other clan. There are so many... she thought. She glanced briefly at the other tom and gave a nod, her claws slipping out a bit. She blinked a bit, at the tom's perceived excitement. She just hoped it wouldn't lead to an actual battle, both cans were suffering so if there was a fight there was going to be unnecessary deaths, but if it was a fight, her clan at least would be justified in their killings as they are simply defending their territory. Tinycloud/Woolbreath/Morningpaw/Ashpaw-Heathclan territory-Rest of Bluffclan, and Jackdawstar, Spiderwatcher of Hethclan The four members of the clan hung back with the rest of their clanmates. Tinycloud was by his daughters looking them over for any injures. Tinycloud's fur settled down seeing that they were okay for the most part if anything just shaken up from twolegs invading the camp. Morningpaw laid on the ground tucking her paws under her, the apprentice exhausted from running. Ashpaw looked at the two Heathclan cats nervously, wondering if they were going to help them. Woolbreath was searching the cats for Blizzardpaw to make sure his apprentice was okay. did my bluffclan cats like this mainly because i was struggling to think of sperate posts for each of them) |

Silentstar Molly ; Leader ; 70 Moons
Gazing at the leader before her, Silentstar could hardly believe her eyes. The dark furred tom had lost weight since the last time she had seen him. He looked just as defeated, as she felt. A great burden it was, to lead a clan in a time like this. Beside him, stood his long-legged and lithe sister. The black molly looked so skinny, her rips and hip bones stuck out, her face starting to sink in. Exhaustion was clear in their yellow eyes, and yet, they stood tall and confident. She couldn't help but respect the siblings for their strength in such daring times. And to now, have a whole other clan to take in.
As Jackdawstar gave his consent to accept her clan and take them in, she couldn't help but let out a breath of relief. Her eyes shone with great gratitude and she gave a dip of her head. No matter how much it tore at her soul to need so much assistance, she knew she had to do what was best for her clan. Even if that meant leaning of Heathclan for the time being. "Thank you, Jackdawstar. Bluffclan will forever be grateful to you for your your generosity."
At his inviting sweep, Silentstar turned back to her clanmates. Giving a silent signal, she flicked her ears and waved her tail in the order to move out, before following in close step with the Heathclan leader. Keeping only a mouse-length from the black tom, she leaned her head close to his at the mention of discussing something. Her ears perked right up and a questioning look washed over her rounded face. Giving a glance around, she made sure that no one was close enough to them, before giving a nod that she was listening.
Though she would have liked to tell herself that she knew what Jackdawstar was going to say, she still felt her heart drop at his words. For a moment, she stopped dead in her tracks, disbelief crunching at her mind. 'Leave our territories.? Our homes.? How could we ever...' Quickly, she blinked it away and continued to move her paws, catching back up to the tom and leaning close to him again. She let his words swirl in her mind, over and over again, before she finally took a moment to carefully word what she wanted to say. She had to be smart about this. Even though she didn't want to leave, they would never survive here. And what would Bluffclan be, without Heathclan.?
"I keep trying to find reasons to stay, because Starclan knows, this is our home. No one wants to leave. And yet, it is not the home we once knew and loved. We can't even find prey anymore. If the twolegs don't get us first, we'll starve."
The grief in Silentstar's eyes, was just as thick in her voice. They would be leaving so many things behind. From their homes, to memories, to favorite landmarks, to the very burial grounds where their ancestors lay. Would Starclan follow them.? Would the clans be able to survive the journey.? They had very young kits. Queens expecting kits. Elders that could hardly walk. Warriors and apprentices that were half starved and not who they once were.
Turning her yellow eyes to the other leader once more, Tan eyes narrowed, almost looking deep into the toms soul. The thoughts that just crossed her mind, were now leaving her mouth. "How would the clans react to us saying we are leaving.? Is it safe to leave.? What about our kits and queens.? Our elders.? Birdscreech is not the youngest anymore, my only medicine cat." A deep sigh slipped from her maw. This time, she chose to share a secret of hers, one hardly anyone knew. "And Jackdawstar, I may not be the oldest feline here, but we both know, I am far from the youngest. I only have 3 lives left. And I fear this journey would take what little time I have left with Bluffclan from me."

Graypebble Molly ; Elder ; 76 Moons
Even though the tom pretended to act offended and irritated by her remark, Graypebble was well aware of the fact that the tom wasn't truly upset at her. His purr of amusement just cleared the air even more for her. The two had truly learned each other over the moons. While he had insisted on bothering her with his annoying jokes and constant need for conversation, she had simply chosen to stick to her ways and pretend he didn't exist. Yet, somewhere along the line, he had learned when to leave her be, and she had learned to loosen up to him. Now, they chittered like morning birds and teased each other often. Yet, if another soul tried to pester little ole Graypebble, she could be a real grouch.
She was just about to cuff the older tom over the ears for his teasing words, when he shifted, poking his head from the den. At the mention of Bluffclan, her fur ruffed up and her face grew her usual serious and grumpy look. Getting to her paws, a grunt of pain filled her throat. She felt stiff and her hips throbbed with pain, yet she pushed it away and peeked her head from the den, her cheek brushing Sagetail's in the process. Opening her maw, she let the chilly wind fill her senses. Sure enough, the thick scent of Bluffclan seemed to flow through the Heathclan camp.
"It's definitely a huge group. Like..Like their entire clan is coming." She knew she sounded absurd at the moment, yet the strength of the scent coming through the air, could only mean a big party was heading towards them. She nudged Sagetail with her shoulder, keeping her eyes on the entrance to camp. "Do you think something has happened.?"
❖ [ Sagetail(aether) ] ❖ [ the camp ] ❖ [Heathclan]

Swiftpaw Molly ; Apprentice ; 10 Moons
At the mention of intruders, Swiftpaw felt her fur start to rise. She sat outside the apprentices den with her sister, Moonpaw. Crouching low, the bengal molly narrowed her eyes and watched the camp entrance, claws starting to dig in the ground around her. Tail lashing from side to side, she made sure to position herself carefully in front of Moonpaw. If anyone was to attack, she would defend her clan, but mostly her sister, with her life.
The air around them was thickening with the scent of Bluffclan, making her nose twitch. It was a powerful scent, with the scent of the sea and rock almost. Why would they be coming now.? And why so many.? It was as if every single warrior and apprentice was on their way. Glancing around, Swiftpaw searched for the pairs mentors, wondering what they should do. ❖ [ Rowanblaze(aether) ] ❖ [ the camp ] ❖ [Heathclan] •❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Moonpaw Molly ; Apprentice ; 10 Moons
While most apprentice would be all for a chance to practice their battle skills, Moonpaw couldn't help but wish that she could return to her nest and hide. Even though she was intelligent and skilled, could pick up any skill, everyone knew her heart longed for a different path. She was often found wandering towards the medicine cats den, offering to help in there. Ever since she was a kit, she'd done nothing but insist on becoming a medicine cat, yet, her family had other plans for her. Her mother insisted that she tread the warrior's path. Though, Moonpaw hoped that one day, she could travel in the path she swore, she was destined to follow.
At that moment, she crouched against her sister, eyes wide and curious. She admired Swiftpaw's ambition. Admired her longing to be the best warrior of Heathclan. She worked hard, trained hard, proved herself to be a valuable member of the clan already. She was sure that Rowanblaze felt highly of his apprentice. And often wondered, if Stagrunner felt the same about her.
❖ [ Stagrunner(~Skyblaze~) ] ❖ [ the camp ] ❖ [Heathclan]

Spiderwatcher Molly ; Warrior ; 40 Moons
As Jackdawstar and Silentstar led the clan towards Heathclan camp, Spiderwatcher fell back. The lean black female skirted the edges of the group, keeping wide yellow eyes out for any stragglers. She could see the exhaustion in the Bluffclan cats faces, and her heart hurt for them. Yet, her own clan was in the very same shape. The only difference, was Heathclan still had their home.
As they padded on, keeping a respectful pace for the weaker of the group, Spiderwatcher couldn't help but think of her brothers words. He was ready to leave, and from the way Silentstar and his head were almost touching as they walked, she was sure they were discussing the option at that moment. Her mind couldn't help but wonder if they would all make it through the mountains, and what lay on the other side. Poor Shadedspeck was the oldest clan cat, at a good 150 moons old. He was blind, partically deaf, had athritis and was half starved. How could he make such a long journey.? And kits..Poor little moon old kits, Feathersoul and Wolfstorm would lose themselves if something happened to their babies. ❖ [ Open to anyone! ] ❖ [ Heading to camp. ] ❖ [Heathclan]

(I was thinking dark thoughts too. Like, Who can I kill.? And then I was thinking, I already have an elder who HAS to make it through this journey(Just do die at the end) and Spiderwatcher is gonna fall and almost die and break her leg. BUT HOW FUN WOULD IT BE...If something happened to Silentstar. Of course, she'd have two lives left. BUT YES.)

that sounds like it could be interesting, would also help further show how dangerous the journey is, if one of the strongest cats gets killed some how)

[ LOL lets just really mess these cats up, y'know? as if finding a new home isn't hard enough.
i think silentstar losing a life would be super impactful for bluffclan!
i think i'll have brooksong fall in the mountains, maybe she tries to save someone else and she dies for it. if anyone wants their character to deal with that ~fun~ of being saved at her expense lemme know. *gasp* or maybe it should be seapaw. wait i have a meme for this. ]
