Leopardtail - ShadowClan - w/ Mothpatch [ vittviz ]Leopardtail has spent the precious minutes since he had awoken nursing his wounds, dragging his tongue over the many scratches that marred his body- the last thing he needed out here was an infection, especially with little options in herbs. Speaking of... he shot a disdainful look at Kestrelwing. He had met the tom twice, during the two or so moons he had trained the medicine den, and had no love in his heart for the aloof rabbitchaser. He finally stood and stretched when he noticed Mothpatch heading out- might as well stay in the company of his cats he knew he could trust, after all. He slunk up to her side, choosing not to call out in case it scared prey, or drew further unwanted attention. “Room for another pair of paws?” Leopardtail was short with most of his clanmates, but Mothpatch was hard-working and had a decent head on her shoulders, so he kept his tone friendlier than he would for other cats. Cloverpaw - ThunderClan - w/ Firewhisper [ fire ]“Um... excuse me?” When Cloverpaw had woken up that morning, she’d had a difficult time dragging herself from her makeshift nest, her muscles sore and aching from recent slaughter against the clans. By the time she had gotten up, her clanmates had been busy, and, despite her age, she didn’t feel comfortable wandering off as a solitary apprentice- it was something Violetmask would have cuffed her over the ears. So she had followed another tom heading off on his own, reasoning that he would appreciate the safety in numbers. Now, though, she felt a little nervous at drawing his attention- while he was leaner than her own massive frame, he carried the choking scent of ShadowClan and had a glint in his eyes that intimidated her. “Are you, um, that is... could I come with you? You know, safety in numbers...” Her voice became more of a mumble as she continued, scuffing the ground with her paws- she wouldn’t be surprised if the dark-colored tom just scoffed at her and moved on.

Sparrowfeather - Riverclan - Open Sparrowfeather padded deeper into the outskirts of the camp, searching for more traveling herbs. She saw a stream nearby, and decided to just hunt a good fish. She loomed over the shallow stream, hoping something would swim up. She scooped up a shadow, but the fish had swam away. She sighed, and decided to return to collecting travel herbs. She jumped up onto all four paws, and scanned the area.

(Would've been nice if you had just said no instead...) I'm really sorry! I lost track of people and just went and added everyone who was there! Feel free to make a character, and I can slot them in under any Clan. They can emerge from the forest as a survivor that no other cat intercepted, and then they can join the group. (realizing now i probably could've worded my last reply better, but i don't want to intrude since there's already 12 cats and you guys have started, unless everyone would be ok with it tbh)

Burningclaws - Windclan Burningclaws opened his eyes reluctantly the sun crested the horizon. He felt almost too numb to get up, and his muscles ached. He tried to remember the important things that had happened. He remembered finding Dapplefur and Kestrelwing and the others just as they were laying down to rest. Perhaps they were too tired to notice his late arrival or too relieved to ask questions. All for the better, he supposed. He tried to remember when each of them had fled, but so much of last night was chaos. He vaguely remembered seeing Kestrelwing attempt to aid several clanmates in the middle of the battle, a brave albeit futile activity. He couldn't remember when he had last seen Dapplefur in the fight, but he assumed that she had attempted to escape with some of the less fortunate clanmates. Burningclaws was only sure that neither of them had been there towards the end.
If there was one thing Burningclaws couldn't deny it was that the Lost Rulers were efficient. The truly horrifying memories of the battle were not the fallen warriors and queens but the aftermath. He remembered the invaders searching for survivors, gloating as they systematically executed even the kits. Even Windclan's brave leader was taunted and killed again...and again..and again.... He surely would have denied it had he not been there for himself. When he had been goaded to run, he hadn't expected to find any other survivors, much less these two. He finally got up and stretched, wincing as bruises and scratches lit up his body like a firework of pain.

Blossompaw's eyes snapped open, and she quickly glanced around. At first she was confused by the strange surroundings and strange cats. However, her slow realization hit her like a thunderpath monster. The sudden attack on the camp, the screeching and yowling, the death.... Blossompaw shook her head violently to disperse the flood of memories. There were still some survivors, and they would need someone to help hunt. Blossompaw looked around, relieved to spot a familiar cream she-cat sitting nearby.
"Auburnstep! Thank goodness!" Blossompaw quickly scrambled over and immediately regretted it. Her whole right side felt a bit bruised. Blossompaw remembered having a Lost Ruler flung into her during the fight. Come to think of it, most of what she remembered from the fight was other cats tripping over her and colliding with her. Probably not the most promising thing to happen to an apprentice.....

Stormclaw Tom | Warrior | 23 moons Outskirts of the Forest | Sunfur (shadowstreak)
Stormclaw's expression turned to one of worry when Sunfur began to lose focus from his surroundings, drifting back to the events of last night, no doubt remembering the violence and bloodshed they had all witnessed. As he repeated Stormclaw's question, Stormclaw was a little caught off-guard by the tone of his response, but Sunfur quickly apologized and answered. Stormclaw nodded, though he wasn't sure if the tom would be alright for a while. As Sunfur began to help out with his wound, he thanked him and said, "We might as well get ready and see what we can do for today." Looking around the ruins of the forest, the place he'd once called home, he felt a strange emptiness as he said, "We can't stay here much longer."
The black tom motioned to Sunfur that he'd deal with his wound, and again thanked him for the help. As he began to lick the gash, he said, "We could gather some food so we can have a little energy." Looking at the others he said, "I guess we should get some for them too, huh?" It was a rhetorical question. He could already see that some of the cats had gone in search of food. Motioning with his tail for Sunfur to join him, he began to scent the air as he padded forward, trying to see what prey they could catch in the beginning of the day.
FirewhisperTom | Warrior | 22 moons Outskirts of the Forest | Cloverpaw (cable)
Firewhisper had began to get a scent of rabbit, and followed it with a slight twinge of excitement. It would make for a big meal, that's for sure. He didn't get far though, until he was interrupted by a voice that sounded as if they were unsure of what they were saying. Looking out of the corner of his eye, he saw a ThunderClan apprentice fumbling with her words. He waited to hear the rest of what she was trying to say. At her request, he said, "Sure, but make sure you pull your weight." He wasn't sure why an apprentice of her size was worried about trivial things like asking to hunt with someone else, but he wasn't about to start figuring out someone else's problems for them.
Continuing to follow the trail of rabbit, he eventually found it, rustling in a clump of long grass. Narrowing his eyes, he got into his hunting crouch. Although you were typically supposed to chase rabbits, thanks to the air being downwind, he had been able to sneak up on it, to the point where if he leaped, he'd be able to land on it and kill it quickly. Getting ready, he bared his teeth and leaped, landing on the back of the rabbit. Swiftly, he plunged his teeth into its neck and killed it. Dragging it along, he padded back to where he'd last seen the apprentice. She wasn't there anymore, so he assumed she had went to hunt. He looked around for her, but couldn't find her for some reason.

Auburnstep spotted Blossompaw and waved her tail in greeting. "Good morning Blossompaw." She purred to the apprentice happily. She was trying to keep her spirits up and not remember the cats who she had lost.

Sunfur - ThunderClan - Stormclaw (fire)
The golden tom hated the idea of leaving the small safe haven they had found, but knew that his clanmate was right. With a nod, he stood and prepared to suggest that Stormclaw get his cut looked at when the tom insisted he was fine. "I think I saw WindClan's Medicine Cat around here," He offered, "You should probably stop by and see him sooner or later, just to be safe." He suggested. Honestly, he should make a visit over to the Medicine Cat as well. His head was still aching from the rock and while the taste of blood in his mouth wasn't as strong, it still lingered.
Sunfur followed after his clanmate. Hunting was a good idea. It would not only take his mind off of, well, everything, but help the others as well. He lifted his head and parted his jaws, tasting the air for anything that had, by some miracle, remained in the area. After last night, he wouldn't be surprised if every living prey had run and never come back.
(ᴡɪɴᴅʏᴛᴜʀᴛʟᴇ/Meadowrunner Sparrowfeather can run into Sunfur and Stormclaw while they're out hunting if you'd like?)

Sparrowfeather - Riverclan - Stormclaw, Sunfur
Sparrowfeather was looking around for some travel herbs, hoping to find something she could bring for the medicine cat. She ran a bit too fast, and crashed into Sunfur. "Ow!" Sparrowfeather whined, getting up back onto her paws. "S-sorry!" Sparrowfeather apologized, almost shrinking in her pelt when she saw the musculer golden tom.

Sunfur - ThunderClan - Sparrowfeather, Stormclaw
Sunfur let out an 'oomph!' as he felt cat crash into him. Pelt bristling, he glared down, claws unsheathing, to teach a lesson to whoever thought they could attack the tom! however, his gaze softened slightly when he saw the she-cat stuttering beneath him. Exhaling, he sheathed his claws as his fun began to lie flat again. He wanted to snap at her for most likely startling whatever prey was around, but decided against it. Every cat was scared and confused right now, and she looked like a clan cat he had seen before... RiverClan? He shook out his pelt, regaining his composure, "You're Sparrowfeather, right?" The large tom's tone was gruff and laced with slight annoyance, but his initial anger had passed.

"It's good to see you here! It feels a little better knowing that there will be some new life in the clan. You know...they um...they'll be the first to grow up in the new...place! It'll be exciting for them!" Blossompaw quickly attempted to salvage the conversation and changed the subject, "...how are you feeling?"

"Yes, that's me..!" Sparrowfeather tried to hide how nervous she was around the cat. Hm..Is that thunderclan smell? "Oh! You're Sunfur right? From Thunderclan?" Sparrowfeather hopped back up onto all four paws. She saw Stormclaw. "Hm..I don't recognize the other cat?" Sparrowfeather tilted her head, smelling a bit of Thunderclan.

Sunfur - ThunderClan - Sparrowfeather, Stormclaw The golden tom nodded in affirmation. "That's right." He followed her gaze to his clanmate and flicked his tail in acknowledgement. "This is Stormclaw. He is also from ThunderClan." Sniffing the air again, he picked up the scent of herbs lingering on the she-cat. "Are you a Medicine Cat or something?" He inquired, looking her up and down. That would make sense... She seems awfully skittish to be a warrior.

"Err..actually, I'm not. I'm just getting some traveling herbs, but I'm actually a warrior.." Sparrowfeather's cheeks grew hot with embarrassment. Why would he think I'm a medicine cat? I'm just collecting traveling herbs! Sparrowfeather puffed her fur up in anger.

The tom snorted in amusement as the she-cat began to puff up with anger, "My mistake." He did his best to remain serious, but the smaller cat in front of him looked like she was trying to hard to look intimidating he couldn't help but have his whiskers twitch with humor. "Any luck with your herbs?" He dared venture, not knowing if this would make her angrier or not.

"Well, I found a few daisies, I was looking for more..although, not much luck so far," Sparrowfeather fretted a bit. She wanted to just get this mission over with. We already did the 'escape the lost rulers' part, can't we just find a home already? I don't want to be stuck with this furball!

Auburnstep chuckled at the apprentice. "Yes, I'm sure it'll lift everyone up to know that there's new lives that can prosper and grow strong here." She purred, sitting down and setting her tail on her belly. "I'll have to get kestrelwing to check on me soon. Say, do you know where he is anyway?" She asked, looking around the make-shift camp.

"Well," He began with a sigh, "I'm sure the Medicine Cats will be thrilled." With a glance at Stormclaw he added, "We were in the middle of trying to find food." Before you scared off all the prey. He added silently. "Unless you need help finding herbs, I think we should get back to it." He meowed with a flick of his tail.

(Sorry for the long disappearance I work double shifts on weekends.)
Mothpatch - Shadowclan - Leopardtail
Mothpatch dipped her head to Leopardtail, "Of course," She replied quietly so that she did not disturb any nearby prey. She scented the air, catching a much fresher mouse scent on the breeze. They were downwind, thankfully, and she dropped to a crouch. Prowling forward until the scent was near overwhelming. As she strained her ears she could just hear the scrabbling of little claws against earth and the rapid thump, thump, thump of its heart. When she was sure she was close enough she sprung, landing heavily upon the mouse and aggravating her sore muscles. She had been lucky in the battle, not as seriously harmed as her clanmates, but she still ached deeply. The mouse only had one second to struggle before she bit down on its spine, killing it instantly.
She sat back on her haunches, for the first time she realized that the terms of their code had changed. The cats back in the clearing were not all of her clan, so did she have to hunt for them as well before consuming prey for herself? She felt lost, and a little weary of this new dynamic. She dropped the mouse to the ground, burying it so that she could later come back for it once she had caught all that she could. "Should we...hunt for the others as well?" she asked Leopardtail. She would feel much more at ease if he too shared her thoughts on the matter.
------
Kestrelwing - Windclan - Dapplefur
Kestrelwing listened intently to Dapplefur as she spoke. Then bent to take a close look at her hind leg. He prodded it with his nose, testing to check for a fever in the wound. Luckily it seemed that it was not infected but that didn't mean it still couldn't go that way. "I'm sure there has to be some comfrey or goldenrod around here somewhere - or Poppies." He could help ease the pain with a poppy seed but it would be the other herbs that staved off any potential infection - in fact, he was sure that some of the others could do with a similar treatment as well. "Wait here, I'm going to see what I can find!"
Without another second to wait he trotted off in the most likely direction. They were near enough to the forest edge that he suspected he would be able to find Goldenrod at least, it was the one herb that grew most plentiful in this type of environment. He was worried for the other cats, and would do what he could to look a few of them over once he had accomplished his current goal.
For a few moments that felt like an eternity he searched the forest edge, luckily Goldenrod tended to grow at the openings of forests, until finally he found what he was looking for. There wasn't much, and it looked like some of these particular herbs had been trampled - maybe even by the cats themselves as they fled. But it would be enough for now. He gathered the leaves into his mouth and trotted back towards the clearing. He set the leaves down into a neat pile and carefully separated a small bit from the pile before chewing it up and applying the small amount to her leg.
"This will help a little," He assured Dapplefur, "But there isn't much, we'll have to find more eventually. For now just be sure to keep any scratches clean."

Leopardtail - ShadowClan - w/ Mothpatch [ vittviz ]Leopardtail nodded curtly at his clanmates agreement, but immediately stilled and sunk low to the ground when he noticed she had caught scent of prey. When she made the catch, he stood and approached, sniffing at it. Her technique had been good, especially for a cat fresh from a devastating battle. “Not bad. Good-sized one, too.” He parted his jaws, drawing in air, perking up as he caught the scent of bird on the wind, and was about to mentions it to Mothpatch, when he noticed her hestiation. Why was she staring down at the mouse as if it was going to eat her, instead? When she finally buried it and spoke her thoughts, he mused over it. “We should being something back for Kestrelwing.. and the queen. At the very least, it puts us in good standing within the group. The other clans already don’t like ShadowClan. No reason to aggravate them further.” The other warriors could hunt for themselves, but it at least made them look more agreeable and cooperative to hunt for the other clans. Cloverpaw - ThunderClan - w/ Firewhisper [ fire ]When the ShadowClan tom had dropped into his hunting crouch, Cloverpaw had stepped away, deciding to follow the scent of mouse- she didn’t want to scare off his catch, after all, and the mouse seemed close enough that they would remain within earshot. As she rounded a large tree, she spotted it near a bush, and dropped into her hunters crouch, trying to keep in mind everything Violetmask had spent moons drilling into her head- tail level with her back, pawsteps light, slow but steady approach, avoid dried leaves. As she bunched up her muscles to make the leap, however, her tail dropped and swished against the ground. She gave a panicked jump for the mouse, which has immediately darted in the other direction, but missed it as it vanished into the bushes. Her only reward was a thorn in the nose, and she drew back hissing, rubbing at the spot with her paw. As she returned to where she had left Firewhisper, she felt even more disheartened seeing his fairly impressive catch. “Ah... that’s a good rabbit.” She mumbled, trying to be polite. “I found a mouse, but it, uh, got away.” Maybe she shouldn’t be too upset about that- it probably hadn’t been the smartest idea to pounce blindly in the direction of a thorny bush.

Blossompaw - Riverclan - Auburnstep "Oh!" Blossompaw tilted her head. She supposed that it it made sense for the queen to seek the aid of a medicine cat. Even if he was from another clan, he'd probably help more than...what was left of Riverclan. A little more encouraged, she meowed "No, I haven't seen him around yet.... I'm sure I can find him though! Hm..... Kestrelwing...he's from Windclan, right?"

"The Windclan medicine cat by the other Windclan cats.... Shouldn't be too hard to find! I'll bring Kestrelwing right over!" Blossompaw declared as she scampered off, checking for scents as she rushed around. After catching the scent of Windclan cats, Blossompaw passed a black Windclan cat with a twitching tail before spotting two other Windclan cats. She skidded to a stop just short of the small pile of plants next to the Windclan cats.
"Hi there! I...uh...I'm looking for Kestrelwing!" Blossompaw meowed, suddenly realizing that both cats smelled like herbs. Quickly guessing, she unknowingly turned to Dapplefur, "You're...Kestrelwing...? ...right...?"

Dapplefur - WindClan - Kestrelwing ( vittviz) and Blossompaw (@firestarfs)
The she-cat dipped her head gratefully to the Medicine Cat when he returned with the herbs. "Thank you Kestrelwing, I'll be sure to keep this clean and come to you if anything gets worse." She blinked at the tom, eyes full of both sorrow and gratitude. How fortunate she was to have Kestrelwing, he helped calm her down after the events of last night. Not only was he skilled with healing, but also a clanmate. Having a familiar face was something she would not take for granted. She was pulled out of her thoughts when the scent of RiverClan filled her nose. "Oh, er-" She began awkwardly, This is Kestrelwing," She motioned to the tom with a flick of her tail. "I'm Dapplefur." She added with a dip of her head.
