(Do we want something horrible to happen to Mousepaw, and she gets away with a serious injury that holds her from becoming a warrior for a while that then pushes Eaglestar to make Mysticpaw a warrior?? We could have Splashfury and Eaglestar take her out or something??)) |

___________________________
Moonstar
[Leader][Molly][55 Moons]
With; -Speckpaw
Where; Leader's Den.
Moonstar was sure the young medicine cat apprentice was going to ignore her. His sent seemed to fade from her den, until she heard the sound of Featherblossom, telling him to go to her. A moment later, the little black Tom pushed into her den, before setting both herbs and a mouse down at the edge of her nest. She looked reluctantly at the herbs, before looking up at Speckpaw. She took a deep breath, a rattle echoing her chest, before deciding her next words carefully. Saying it more as a statement than a question. “Did Redthorn tell you and Featherblossom that I lost a life in that battle.”
After a moment of silence, she reached forward and quickly ate the herbs, before making a face and eating the mouse. Once that was finished, she sat up slightly, pain scrunching her face up. “Help me wash my back, will you.?” She started to lap at her chest and forelegs, removing any dirt and moss from her pelt. She made a face at the taste. In between licks, she continued to speak. “Why would Starclan allow something so horrible to happen to us.? Why would they allow such a malicious cat to be deputy.” The leader huffed, shaking her head. Why she was choosing to tell the apprentice this, and not her medicine cat, she was unsure. Maybe because he was the only one that wasn’t pestering her the last 4 sunrises. “The look in his eyes, as he pushed my head under the water, Speckpaw. He’s dangerous. He took my life, using the very water we thrive in.”
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Featherblossom
[Medicine Cat][Molly][65 Moons]
With; Nightfeather, Cherryfrost and Pebblepaw.
Where; Medicine Cat's Den.
While she sat and waited for her apprentice to return from seeing to Moonstar, Featherblossom decided to grab a rabbit from the fresh kill pile for her and Speckpaw to share when he was done. She was sure the young Tom was hungry. She had no more than sat down outside her den again with the rabbit, when a rustling sounded outside the camp. Eyes darting to the entrance, she watched as Nightfeather slipped in, followed by the Gladeclan medicine cats. Shock ripples through her, but she waiting calmly, sitting with her tail over her paws. “Hello, Cherryfrost. Pebblepaw. What brings you to Willowclan.?”
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Redwillow
[Warrior][Molly][30 Moons]
With; Lilypath, Redthorn, Tinypaw and Aspenpaw.
Where; Leaving Camp..
“Well, someone’s a little testy today. Sleep with ants in you nest.?” While Redwillow teased, she kept her voice low, and fell back from the deputy. As they neared the river to cross to where the Sunningstones were, Redwillow grew silent. She flicked her tail for Tinypaw and Aspenpaw to stick close to her. “We’ll have to cross the River. Stay to my side, I will support you against the current.”
Once they were safely across, Redwillow couldn’t help but scrunch her nose at the stench pouring from the rocks that were once Willowclans. A huff escaped her and she slunk along the new border line, eyes alert and ears listening for danger. Yet, all was silent on the border.

Redthorn | 45 Moons
[ Stern & Sweet & ambitious ]
{{ Out on Patrol // Redwillow, Lilypath, Tinypaw, Aspenpaw }}
Rp>>> Redthorn padded on, not paying attention that Lilypath had stayed farther behind to scan the area. Flashes of the battle played in Redthorns mind, the claws, the yowls for help, Moonstar being thrown by the Gladeclan deputy and held under the water by his powerful claws. The image of him fighting with Splashfury who held him being able to go rescue his leader. What kind of deputy was he? He failed in protecting his leader, and as a result, his whole clan suffered. Would he even be able to lead a clan if he couldn't even win a simple battle at Sunning Rocks? What if Gladeclan decided that their territory wasn't enough, and wanted Willowclan's as well? Would he be able to defend his own territory without messing up? The large, russet deputy shook his head and look down at his paws, sadness and regret gripping his heart.
The small patrol found their way to the stream that ran through the tip of the territory, and Redthorn stopped to drink in the air around him. He flicked his large fluffy tail, letting the group know he would go first. It had been nearly a moon since rain had come, so the stream was not as deep as normal, and should be easy to cross. Hi fluffy fur clung to the lower half of his body, making him look smaller than normal. He hadn't gotten the chance to eat a proper meal in days with all the duties he took over after Moonstar chose solitude over her clan. "I see nothing here that is going to require out attention. Tinypaw, would you like to show me some of your hunting skills?" The deputy mewed, wanting to asses the apprentices and see where they stood in their training.
Lilypath | 28 Moons
[ Hardworking & Arrogant & Cocky ]
{{ Patrol // Redthorn, Tinypaw, Aspenpaw, Redwillow }}
Rp>>> Lilypath narrowed her eyes, searching for more clues. Maybe the battle here had just been intense and Moonstar felt bad for losing a good piece of their territory. Moonstar must be seriously overreacting if the only thing that happened here was a little scrabble, or did something more serious happen that Gladeclan even felt the need to cover and hide?
Lost in her own thoughts, she didn't even notice that Redthorn and Redwillow had crossed the stream. She lifted her skinny tail and bounded away, her paws light on the ground. Catching up to the group, she leaned down to her apprentice, Tinypaw. "Do not embarrass me now please." She whispered, shoving the little kit with her nose. "Go on, show him how nice your hunters crouch is." She whispered, lowing herself onto her haunches and tasting the air. There was plenty of mice around here, so Tinypaw should be able to catch something.
Speckpaw | 8 Moons
[ Awkward & Diligent & Observing]
{{ Speckpaw // Moonstar, Featherblossom }}
Rp>>> Speckpaw sat respectfully away from his leaders nest, his little nub sticking awkwardly out from his behind. The little apprentice shifted, his ear turning towards the sound of his leaders ratting chest, wanting to catch a quick assessment, this was the longest she let him near her since the battle, and he was afraid she would contract a cough with that rattle if it wasn't take care of correctly.
“Did Redthorn tell you and Featherblossom that I lost a life in that battle.” The words echoed in his ears. Speckpaw opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. Thankfully Moonstar changed the subject and asked for help with grooming her pelt. The little tom licked, cleaning the fur, the stench of Gladeclan still hanging onto the tips of her fur. Moonstars seem to flow out of her, there was little time for Speckpaw to speak, but for that, he was thankful. What was he supposed to say? Why was Moonstar trusting him with this information. Speckpaw paused with his grooming. "Moonstar, I don't think anyone but the cats who went on that patrol with you knew that you had lost a life, that was your first life, correct? Starclan didn't say anything to you when you saw them? Before they sent you back?" He was careful on the topic of Starclan, knowing from Featherblossom that leaders who lose lives can have their faith shaken. "Moonstar, any cat knows that a deputy who walks in the paw steps of the dark forest, cant be trusted or stopped." Speckpaws age shown through with the words that left his maw. "Darkfire is a cat that will stop at nothing until he gets to be the leader of Gladeclan, and there's no telling that he has a dark future ahead of them. Cats like him never thrive." He spat. The little tom was angry now. Darkfire had taken something that was not his to take, the life of his leader. If Speckpaw was a warrior, he would trot right over to Gladeclan and give the deputy a little piece of his mind. "There's no way the Eaglestar knew this happened, he has always shown us kindness..." He thought to himself. "Moonstar, you know the gathering is coming in a few nights, you don't want to give Darkfire the satisfaction of knowing he destroyed your confidence too. Lets prove to Gladeclan that even after something so terrible, we are stronger than ever." He mewed, pushing his nose into his leaders fur. She was the one that found him in the woods, the one who saved his life and told him moons ago that sulking in his own loss and weakness wouldn't help him at all, he could only hope that Moonstar would remember that time. "Would you like to share a meal with me? I haven't eaten yet today." Speckpaw asked, hoping to get something in his belly, as well as his leaders.

Eaglestar | 46 Moons
[ Reserved & Determined & Kind ]
{{ Darkfire, Mysticapaw, Mousepaw // Camp clearing }}
Rp>>> Eaglestar was growing impatient. Darkfire would not take no for an answer, and something stirred deep in his belly as he wanted his son, Mysticpaw stand beside him. They had the same mannerisms, Mysticpaw had grown much larger than his sister, much larger than him as far as muscle, but none of those things were bad, other than the mannerisms of Darkfire. He flicked his tail as his daughter and Splashfury left the camp, not seeing the look Splashfury had given Darkfire, and not wanting to see the look Darkfire had shot him because he had chosen the opposite cat he wanted to go out to lead the medicine cats to Willowclan.
"Splashfury is a strong cat, She is well capable of telling me how Mousepaw does." The leader mewed dismissively. Eaglestar flattened his ears a Mysticpaw hissed a rebuttal. "You would do well to remember that I am your leader, and what you clan leader says, is to be obeyed without question." He growled, his fur riding. He had half a mind to swipe his paw across the maw of his son.
Eaglestar was about to dismiss the large deputy and his apprentice, wanting to go see his mate and her new kits, when Darkfire suggested that he take Mysticpaw out himself to assess him. "Fine." He mewed flatly. "But you are coming with me." If Mysticpaw was going to be a warrior, Eaglestar needed to see the fighting skills, the hunting skills, everything. "Mysticpaw. You can lead us as though you were leading a patrol." He mewed, flicking his tail and turning to leave. Just as Eaglestar laid eyes on the entrance of the camp, Mousepaw bolted in, shaking the entrance with the wind she created. The scent of fear was strong on her, and Splashfury was no where to be seen. Eaglestar stood still, his ears pricked. What is Starclans name was going on with her? Why was she acting terrified of everything she used to enjoy? Eaglestar thought to himself. The large brown and white tom decided to leave the situation alone for the time being. He did not have enough energy to deal with everything that was going on at the moment.
Cherryfrost | 34 Moons
[ Reserved & Perfectionist & Dependable ]
{{ Pebblepaw // Willowclan territory }}
Rp>>> "Starclan knows the desires that lay in every cats heart, regardless of position. Darkfire will not get very far if he is power hungry enough to directly disobey Eaglestar and do something to harm another cat." Cherryfrost mewed, not wanting her apprentice to worry. Cherryfrost barely got the words off her tongue when Splashfury and Mousepaw had caught back up to them, the scent of fear rolling in waves off Mousepaw struck Cherryfrost with such intensity that she paused. "Is everything okay?" She asked, her ears twitching in concern. She sniffed to make sure they weren't hurt, as a habit. Before any cat could answer, Mousepaw turned and fled, her tail puffy. Cherryfrost watched her run, and looked at Splashfury. The large, black she-cat sat and licked her paws, seemingly unconcerned. Cherryfrost hissed. "I think you should go back with her, don't you? Splashfury?" She spat, upset that something had happened. If the two medicine cats were not on their way to speak with Starclan, she would have ran back with Mousepaw, pulling her into her den to have a chat, but that would have to wait, They needed to speak with Starclan about Pebblepaws dreams, a moody apprentice could wait. Splashfury turned and followed after Mousepaw, much slower than Cherryfrost had liked.
Cherryfrost turned back to Pebblepaw and saw that he was already to the two-leg bridge. She dashed over just as Pebblepaw noticed the escorts had left. "There's something going on with Mousepaw. Have you talked to her since the battle at sunning rocks?" She mewed, her voice laced with concern. Cherryfrost sniffed the air a little too late, a patrol of Willowclan cats meeting them right on the inside of their border. Once the pretty molly had relaxed and offered to take them to Featherblossom, Cherryfrost dipped her head. "We are on our way to speak with Starclan, and we need Featherblossom to look after our clan while we are away." She mewed, not realizing what was going to happen when Moonstar scented Gladeclan cats in her camp.

___________________________
Moonstar
[Leader][Molly][55 Moons]
With; -Speckpaw, Featherblossom & Gladeclan Medicine cats.
Where; Leader's Den.
For a moment, the two sat it silence, grooming the leaders dirty fur. Once she was fully smoothed out, the Molly let out a deep sigh. Sitting up fully, she almost for a moment, looked like her old self. Calm, collected, proud of her leadership. Her fur was sleek and shiny, her tail wrapped tightly around her paws. She listened to Speckpaw speak, watching the small curly furred, black tom. Her green eyes seemed to have a little bit of their sparkly glint to them at his words. She gave a soft chuckle as she shook her head, “You’ve brown much wiser since the little kit I found. Starclan had some plans for you and Willowclan when I found you that day.”
After a moment of reminiscing on a finder memory, she finally answered the question the young Medicine cat had asked her. A cloudy darkness seemed to fill her gaze as she thought of her moments after losing a life. “I saw so much darkness. For the longest time, after knowing I was losing a life, I didn’t think Starclan would come.” She paused, taking a shuddering breath, before continuing on. The fur along her shoulders rose as she spoke. “I saw Foxstar and Stormblossom. We stood in the riverbed. It was dry and everything was dead.” She spoke of her father and one of the previous medicine cats of Willowclan. A shiver ran down her spine. “But they didn’t say a word. Just watched as I crumpled in front of them, like they couldn’t even see me. My throat had never been so dry in my life. It was as if when I lost that life, the River went with it. I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t call for help. Our land had withered away, as I was doing. I..I don’t know what it means. Maybe it was a warning that Darkfire will take more from Willowclan than just one of my lives.”
After a moment of pondering on the idea, Moonstar simply stood and brushed her tail against Speckpaw’s side. He was right. She had to go to this gathering. She had to confront Gladeclan. “Come. Let’s go eat something. I think I am feeling a tad hungry.” The herbs and mouse hadn’t done it for her. After days of not eating, she felt her stomach clench in hunger. Stepping towards her den entrance, she had no more than stepped a couple of paw lengths, when the strong stench of Gladeclan wafted into her den. A low rumbling growl filled her throat as she felt the fur rise along her spine and fluff up her tail. Eyes flashing, she pushed her way from her den. She walked stiff legged up to Nightflower and the two Gladeclan medicine cats, ears flattening. She met them as They greeted Featherblossom and explained that they needed her to be available to help Gladeclan if anything went wrong during their journey to speak with Starclan. As Featherblossom opened her maw to speak, Moonstar let out a hiss that quickly made Nightfeather and Featherblossom flinch back. “Absolutely not. Willowclan is not to help Gladeclan in ANY way.”
A shaky meow spoke up to her, both scared but confident. “Moonstar, you are not allowed to make that decision. You can not stop the medicine cats from speaking with Starclan. And you can not leave one clan without a medicine cat if they need help. You know this.”
Whipping around, Moonstar came nose to nose with Pebblepaw, the tiny white and grey medicine cat to Cherryfrost. Even with her fur bristling, the Tom stood his ground, shaking slightly. After a moment, Moonstar’s fur began to flatten, and she took a step back. Turning her head away, she grunted in frustration. “Very well. Featherblossom. You may go to Gladeclan with a warrior escort once a day to check on any wounded and make sure Cherryfrost and Pebblepaw’s clan are settled and okay.” With a flick of her long tail, the leader turned and headed to the fresh-kill pile, limping slightly. The ache of her wounds hitting her fresh as she relaxed slightly. She crouched with her back the the Gladeclan medicine cats, sniffing at the prey that was left. “Speckpaw! What would you like.?”
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Featherblossom[Medicine Cat][Molly][65 Moons]
With; Nightfeather, Cherryfrost and Pebblepaw, Moonstar &Speckpaw. Where; Medicine Cat's Den.As Nightfeather approached with the Gladeclan Medicine cats, Featherblossom greeted them with a dip of her head. She question was answered by Pebblepaw, who spoke of them going to meet with Starclan and asking if her and Speckpaw could check in on Gladeclan while they were gone. A flash of fur caught her eye as Moonstar left her den for the first time in days. Opening her maw to speak, a hiss from her leader silenced her and Featherblossom flinched back in surprise. Moonstar’s next words startled the silver and black Molly and she glared at the leader in frustration. Yet, before she could speak up to Moonstar, Pebblepaw beat her to it. Shock seemed to filter through all of the Molly’s as the little Tom stood his ground to Moonstar, and even more so when the Molly backed off.
Relief washed over Featherblossom as The gray and brown specked leader gave her permission to do what medicine cats had done for seasons when one another needed to see their ancestors, she relaxed even more as Moonstar turned her back on the group, calling for Speckpaw. Giving a shake of her head and letting out a slow breath, Featherblossom spoke, flicking her tail for Pebblepaw and Cherryfrost to follow her out of the camp. “Come. It is time for you to head out. You have a long journey. I will watch after your clan, do not pay any mind to Moonstar. She is…Having a difficult time after the latest battle.”
Padding with the two medicine cats. She led them back towards the border, wanting to be with them on part of their journey. “It’s been so long since I’ve been to speak with Starclan. I need to take Speckpaw as well still. You will do good on this journey, Pebblepaw. It’s one of the best experiences of my life.” She turned her attention to Cherryfrost. “Maybe after the gathering, I will take Speckpaw with me, if you will watch over my clan.” After a moment, she gave a small wave of her tail. “I hope your clan mates are healing well. That last battle was a terrible one. None of our warriors will speak of what happened. And the wounds they carry on them, this battle seemed to carry much trouble behind it.”
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅• 
Tinypaw
[Apprentice][Tom][6 Moons]
With; Lilypath, Redwillow, Aspenpaw, Redthorn
Where; Hunting
Crossing the stream left Tinypaw soaked, with fur clinging to his body. The small Tom had gotten the name Tiny for a reason, and in that very moment, it showed why. He no more than shook the water from his fur, when Redthorn turned his attention on the brown and white Tom. Nerves clenched his chest as Lilypath nudged him, causing him to stumble slightly. Her whisper made him flatten his ears slightly and panic filled his gaze for a moment. For the first time in his life, he was scared to disappoint his mentor and the deputy. After a quick moment, the Tom flicked his tail and shook the nerves away. This was easy, he knew the hunters crouch well.
Getting down low, he crouched perfectly, tail above the ground and still as a branch on a warm calm day. Keeping his ears perked up and opening his maw slightly, he took in the scents around him, letting each smell wash over him carefully. Closing his eyes, he let his ears and nose do all the work, something he had learned from a young kit when his eyes failed to work properly.
The smell of mice was thick in the air, only a couple fox-lengths away. From the scurrying that touched his ears, he could make out more than one, just below the surface. Letting out a small murmur, he spoke softly, opening his eyes. “Mouse nest. About 3 or 4. Two foxlengths away.” He gently pointed with his nose towards two roots of a tree. A small hole was barely visible. “Lilypath and Redthorn, take a place quietly on either side of the roots. Aspenpaw, stay behind me. Catch any mice that come your way.”
Waiting for the others to take their places, Tinypaw slowly and silently slunk towards the nest. Giving a slightly nod to Aspenpaw that she was ready, he dove, digging at the hole quickly. Mice dove from beneath his paws, diving in every direction, quickly, Tinypaw slapped a paw on a fat mouse, before nipping it’s neck quickly. He gave a nod of satisfaction as it fell limp and blood touched his tongue. He looked up, mouse in his maw, hoping his clan mates had caught the other 3.

✿Gladeclan Character's✿
___________________________
Darkfire
[Deputy][Tom][45 Moons]
With; Eaglestar & Mysticpaw-Mousepaw.
Where; Forest.
Darkfire flicked the tip of his tail up, almost triumphantly when his leader agreed to do an assessment on his son. He glanced towards the apprentices den, ears flicking slightly. As Eaglestar and Mysticpaw started towards the camp entrance, Darkfire made the decision that Mousepaw should join them. Sticking his head into the apprentices den, he spoke lightly, eyes burning into Mousepaw’s. “Mousepaw. Patrol. Now. Eaglestar is going to assess you and Mysticpaw. I think it’s only fair you join us.” He gave a jerk of his head, as if warning her not to defy him. Even she must know that he would keep his maw shut in front of Eaglestar. She was safe from any harsh words or punishment. “Quickly.”
Without a second thought, he nudged the Molly from her nest and out of the apprentices den. Leading her towards the camp entrance where Mysticpaw was leading them out of camp. “Where do you think we should go first, Mysticpaw.?”
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Mysticpaw
[Apprentice][Tom][11 Moons]
With; Darkfire/Eaglestar & Mousepaw
Where; Camp.
Shock almost entered the white toms eyes as his father finally agreed to at least assess his skills himself. He shared a glance with Darkfire, before heading towards the camp entrance. Eaglestar walked close to him as they pushed out of the camp. A few heartbeats later, Mousepaw was led out of camp with Darkfire. Surprise actually sparkled in the toms eyes at the sight of his sister, before he glanced at his father and then Deputy.
Turning, Mysticpaw listened to Darkfire’s question before leading the group through the woods towards the stepping stones. This would lead them to the other side of Gladeclan territory, where the newly claimed Sunningstones lay. “We should go across the River and mark the border. We won Sunningstones back, and if we don’t keep the scent along the border strong, they will assume we don’t want them.”
While he was confident in his answer, Mysticpaw couldn’t help but look to his father for approval. A murmur of agreement came from Darkfire however. This leading to the young Tom continuing towards the stepping stones at a brisk pace. “We can hunt on the forest on the other side of the river after marking the border. The prey is always so much thicker there.”
•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•
Pebblepaw
[Medicine cat Apprentice][Tom][6 Moons]
With; Cherryfrost
Where; Camp.
Pebblepaw’s thoughtfully took in Cherryfrost’s words about their current deputy as they padded on. His thoughts were interrupted by Cherryfrost’s question about Mousepaw. He simply shook his head, concern in his gaze. “No. Mousepaw hasn’t spoken a word to anyone since the battle. I could barely take care of her wounds, she just wants to hide in her nest. I don’t know what happened out there, but if effected her.”
It didn’t take long for them to reach Willowclan, where they were confronted by a group of warriors and apprentices. Once Cherryfrost explained to the Molly what they needed, I he calico Molly escorted them back to the Willowclan camp, where Featherblossom sat with her tail over her paws. It was strangely silent in the water clans camp, and Pebblepaw couldn’t help but feel the tension around them. Eyes poked out of the dens as they approached Featherblossom.
As once again, the pair was questioned, Pebblepaw spoke up this time. He respectfully dipped his head the the older medicine cat, before speaking. “Hello, Featherblossom. We have to speak with Starclan and came to ask you to check in on our clan while we were gone on our journey.” The little Tom had hardly gotten the words out when a hiss from Moonstar sounded. The leader was angry, from both the sounds and looks of it. Yet, when the leader refused to let her medicine cats help Gladeclan, Pebblepaw couldn’t help but speak up. “Moonstar, you are not allowed to make that decision. You can not stop the medicine cats from speaking with Starclan. And you can not leave one clan without a medicine cat if they need help. You know this.”
His eyes wide and his legs stiff as he shook slightly, he found himself nose to nose with the Willowclan leader.
Relief washed over the little white and grey Tom as Moonstar backed off and allowed Featherblossom to look after Gladeclan. With a breath out, he turned and followed his mentor and the Willowclan medicine cat out of the camp, glancing back at Moonstar as Speckpaw joined her. Unease filled him at the sight of the Molly, aware that something was not right with her. He glanced at his mentor as Featherblossom apologized of behalf of the leader, before talking with Cherryfrost. He sighed and followed behind the two Molly’s.

WillowClan
⤹⋆⸙͎۪۫｡˚۰˚☽˚⤹⋆⸙͎۪۫｡˚۰˚☽˚⤹⋆⸙͎۪۫｡˚Redthorn // Lilypath, Redwillow, Aspenpaw \\ Hunting
>> Redthorn turned his gaze on Tinypaw. While he knew the little apprentice had overcome many struggles with his lack of stature, The large deputy looked at his with pity. He had a long way to go before he would be a true warrior, perhaps after the kits who were apprenticed with him, and he knew the weight of that would bury Tinypaw into the ground if he were to know.
The large, flame colored deputy nodded to Lilypath, who in turn, nudged Tinypaw gently, still causing him to stumble slightly. Redthorns breath caught as he watched, the little tom seemingly swallowed by nervousness at his assessment. Redthorn reminded himself to keep his eyes gentle as he watched Tinypaw slide down into the hunters crouch, his form perfect.
“Lilypath and Redthorn, take a place quietly on either side of the roots. Aspenpaw, stay behind me. Catch any mice that come your way.” Redthorn lowered his head as the small apprentice found his prey, his words sounding moons older than him. Maybe Redthorn had underestimated the young apprentice?
Redthorn understood his assignment, his tail flinching at the tip, ever so slightly, as he crouched down, ready to assist if needed. As Tinypaw lunged, three mice slipped through his paws, Redthorn lunged forward, clipping one of the smaller mice with is front claw, nipping its next before it could alert the other prey around of his attackers. Redthorn looked up, a gleam in his eyes as he noticed that Tinypaw had caught a mouse nearly as big as him. With a twitch of his whiskers, he dug a shallow grave for the cats to put their prey in.
Silently, and with his eyes, he asked Tinypaw to scent again, to make sure there was nothing else near that would serve as dinner for the Clan. Speckpaw // Featherblossom, Morningstar, Gladeclan Medicine cats. \\ Willowclan clearing
>> Speckpaw sat upright, pushing his chest out as his leader complimented him and his growth since his unfortunate beginnings. He had come a long way, but only because She, the leader of this clan, took a chance, saved his life, and offered him a home here. The tom was thankful, even tho his earliest memories were the walls of the nursery and the scent of milk, the memories of his tragic beginning gone now.
As Moonstar changed the sunject once more to her loss, his eyes grew dark once more, his mind far away as she spoke. "Starclan are not always clear, their intentions with us, hardly making sense some times. Dark times will come, and for a cat like Darkfire, it seems as though his fate lies with someone other than Starclan." He shuddered. He felt his fur bristle with cold, like he was in the river himself, yet his paws were warm. Looking down, he saw blood dripping from them. Speckpaws breath caught as he steadied himself, he focused on bringing his mind back into the den where he sat, not wanting to reveal what he had just seen to his leader. She already had enough to worry about.
As Moonstars large fluffy tail trailed down his side, he shook his scruffy, patchy fur and followed her out, happy that she seemed back in her good spirit. As the two pushed their way out of the den, the small medicine cats curly hair attempted to stand on end as the scent of Gladeclan entered his senses, his eyes wild as he looked around, his claws out. Moonstar low growl made his stomach churn. Speckpaw stood, his mouth hanging as he assessed the situation that was going on around him. Cherryfrost and Pebblepaw were headed to speak with Starclan. Could this be about Moonstars lost life? Did they know what happened? Had Starclan given them a sign? Questions he asked himself silently made his head swim. “Speckpaw! What would you like.?” Moonstars call snapped him back once more. "A small mouse please." He called back, sharing a glance with Featherblossom who spoke with the other medicine cats nearby. He had much to tell her. |

‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵︵‿︵Eaglestar // Mysticpaw, Mousepaw, Darkfire \\ Forest>> Eaglestar paid no attention to Darkfire calling for Mousepaw. He had no energy to deal with whatever happened with her at the moment. His daily battles with Darkfire had drained him, making his paws weary. Why must Darkfire be so vexing? What were his motives? Or was he just thinking into to far? Maybe Darkfire was trying to be a good deputy and Eaglestar was too blind to see it, after all, his own mate disagreed with him in that aspect and she had never been wrong before. Darkfire was loyal, strong, and undoubtedly a great asset to Gladeclan. Thoughts distracted the leader as the small group trekked into the forests undergrowth, the ferns brushing lightly on his back as he made his way to a small clearing right outside camp.
Letting Darkfire ask his apprentice, Eaglestar's son where they ought to begin, he sat, his long tail covering his paws. His eyes were locked on the large deputy, studying the scars that raked his body. They were significantly smaller than the two apprentices he had before him. "Very well, that would be a great first start." He praised his son, flicking his tail for Mysticpaw to lead the way. A tingle of annoyance sparked in his belly when Darkfire answered him first. He took a deep, slow breath to steady himself. Darkfire was Mysticpaws mentor. Mousepaw needed to come along to get her paws back underneath her. "Mousepaw," Eaglestar called over his shoulder, keeping his eyes forward as Mysticpaw lead the way to the rocks. "You need to get your head back on those shoulders of yours. This is just as much of an assessment for you as it is your brother. It is almost time for you two to be awarded your warrior names." The brown and white leader mewed flatly.
Once the small group neared the river, Eaglestar looked over at Mysticpaw before crossing who was walking in the same stride as Darkfire, as though the two were mere shadows of each other. Eaglestar paused, Waiting for his son to give him the sigh to cross, after all, he was the one leading this patrol. "If you are to lead us, you need to be in front." He growled, his ears twitching.  Mousepaw // Eaglestar, Darkfire, Mysticpaw \\ Forest>> Mousepaw had no more than tucked her nose under her paws when Darkfires burning voice rang in her ears, calling her out to join him, her brother and father out on a patrol. She felt tears well in her eyes, how could she continue on being silent? How could Darkfire be so proud of himself after what he had done? How could Mysticpaw still be so infatuated with his mentor after his own eyes had witnessed what had happened after that battle? Mousepaw looked up at her deputy, hatred burning strong as he ordered her out of her nest. "Yes Darkfire." She spat, rising to her paws. At least out here with her father, Darkfire couldn't threaten her like Splashfury had with the medicine cats. What could Darkfire possibly do to her with Eaglestar in his presence.
The grey and white apprentice kept her claws out, clumps of dirt gathering between her toes rather quickly as she dug them into the ground with each step she took. Images of the battle flashed in her mind as they made their way to the river, the sound of cats yowling, the sound of Moonstars gurgle as she was forced under the water, the harshness of her brothers voice as she defended Darkfire when she tried to attack him herself, it all came rushing back. Paying little attention to where she was going, she did not take notice that the group had stopped. She walked right into Darkfires flank, causing her to lose her footing. Her front paws folded under her as she fell. "Mouse-Dung!" She spat, jumping back to her paws, her fur fluffed out like a baby rabbits. She glanced up at her father, his unapproving eyes burning into her fur. "A warrior knows what is around them at all times. Stop behaving like a kit." Eaglestar mewed his voice course with agitation.
Cherryfrost // Moonstar, Pebblepaw, Featherblossom \\ Willowclan's camp>>Cherryfrost sighed. "Only Starclan knows what took place, seeing that no cat will speak of what really happened. Maybe when we get into Willowclan's camp we can see something?" She whispered. Maybe Featherblossom knew what happened? Or perhaps Speckpaw.
As the two medicine cats stepped foot into the Willowclan camp, the tension weighed heavy on her. Accusing eyes, scornful looks, whispers, it was all very.... unwelcoming. The two were lead to the middle of the camp, where they nearly came nose to nose with Moonstar, the leader of Willowclan. Her immediate hostility instinctively made Cherryfrost's fur rise, making her look twice her size, her claws digging into the shallow dust that settled on their floor. “Moonstar, you are not allowed to make that decision. You can not stop the medicine cats from speaking with Starclan. And you can not leave one clan without a medicine cat if they need help. You know this.” The Medicine Cat could not help but look at her apprentice who stood just below her shoulders. She nodded her head in approval as she spoke the truth. As Moonstar stepped closer, her nose barely a kits whisker away from Pebblepaws maw, Cherryfrost stepped closer, her head side by side with the leaders. A quiet, nonthreatening warning growl raised deep from her chest.
As Moonstar seemed to understand the two cats meant no harm, she simply dismissed them. She sighed and licked Pebblepaws head as the tom leaned into her side. Her fur began to lie flat as Featherblossom approached, her eyes soft, her stance light. "Featherblossom." She mewed in greeting, dipping her head. The Willowclan Medicine Cat lead the group towards the camp entrance. Cherryfrost forced herself not to bold from the hostility of the clan, but kept her breath under control. What in Starclans name happened that cased Moonstar to act so different than before? She thought. Featherblossoms words were merely a light humming in her ears. "Our cats will not speak of what happened either. Mousepaw hides in her den. She hasnt trained since the battle. All the other cats are healing nicely and the clan is strong again, but that is not why we are going to speak with Starclan." She mewed, her tail gently waving back and forth as she spoke with Featherblossom. "If Starclan allows, we would happily watch over your clan for you. I just hope they are more welcoming than what we just experienced." She warned, her voice taught with warning. Cherryfrost chose her words carefully, not wanting to reveal what strife Darkfire was causing in the clan, or their lack of willing apprentices. Weakness was no thing to share with an enemy clan, regardless if they were just medicine cats. "Thank you for your time." She mewed, she paused, waiting for Pebblepaw to stand beside her. "We must part here, we have a long journey, and while I would love to stay and chat, now seems like the wrong time." She mewed, searching Featherblossoms eyes for any sign of what happened at Sunningrocks. |

I like the idea of continuing where we were going. Though, maybe skipping ahead a little for Cherryfroat and Pebblepaw to be at the place to speak with Starclan. And wecan fast forward everyone else as well. Maybe have something interesting going on.

⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙⁺˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚⁺‧͙ Cherryfrost // PebblepawCherryfrost let out an exasperated sigh. Pebblepaw and herself had finally just passed over the two-legs bridge and could now see the place where the medicine cats and leaders could speak with Starclan. After passing over into Willowclan territory and seeing the hostility that Moonstar had greeted them with, and how ragged and cut up some of the warriors were, she couldn't help but feel as though something at Sunning rocks had gone horribly wrong. If something had gone wrong, why didnt the leader of Gladeclan say anything? Did it have to do with Mousepaw and that is why she shut down on the whole clan? Was it something that even Starclan would with hold from her as well? She took a deep breath and nodded slightly. "Alright then. On we go." She mewed to her apprentice who was staring up at the waterfall with awe struck eyes. Pebblepaw had been here once before during her apprentice ceremony to be accepted by Starclan to be the next medicine cat after her, but she couldn't help but giggle to herself at the little tom and his reactions.
With a flick of her tail, the fluffy medicine cat leapt off the bridge and onto the rough stones that littered the ground beneath. She eyed them carefully, sometimes there were little pieces of clear, sharp object in here, smooth enough to slice through a cats paws and leave them lame for weeks. "Mind your paws." She called over her shoulder, not wanting to have to wrap Pebblepaw before they were even able to get inside. She parted her lips and drank in the wet air, enjoying the sweet scent the water gave. As the pair wandered closer, the dampness of the air weighed down their fur, the roaring of the falling water deafening the voices around them. Due to the loudness, this is when they decide to leave their voices outside, to share tongues in spiritual silence with their greatest ancestors.
Once inside, a simple swish of her tail over Pebblepaws ears was enough to let him know to go ahead and get comfortable lying down and put one paw, halfway submerged into the glistening, still waters of the falls. This allowed Starclan to take their paws and guide then into their own territory, and to walk and talk with hundreds of cats that lived well before them. Cherryfrost watched Pebblepaw dip his paws in before doing her own, allowing him to enter first. |
