( Mother Dark A warrior and a kittypet. Maybe Sootwing could be Crowflight's brother Ivy ? They'd have a very interesting dynamic I think! Does anyone have a cat they'd like to have Sootwing as a former apprentice?) Sootwing - 18 moons A long-furred black tom with a white chin going down to his chest and white toes on his right front paw. His eyes are a burning amber color. He is fast on his paws and often relies on his agility. Sootwing is a determined young tom, he is competitive - he likes to race his clanmates - and he often keeps up a tough act. He has a strong sense of loyalty to the clan and looks up it's leader, so he'll often side with Hawkstar in discussions. The ban on kits doesn't really faze him because he doesn't see kits in his near future - yet. He's quite judgemental and he doesn't trust cats from outside the clan at all. But once you get to a personal level with him you can see Sootwing change into an empathic friend and his tough act will drop - but only for you. Jademist (jademist) Drake - 25 moons A somali tom with a warm, glowing reddish coat, made up of a pale red/beige base coat, ticked with black. A darker streak runs over his spine, from his head to his tailtip. His eyes are a warm amber/goldish color. His ears both have multiple nicks from fights and he has a teal colored colar around his neck with a silver penning. Drake is the housecat to his two twolegs with whom he lives in town. He's well cared for and his life is pretty easy. However, this makes him prone to seeking out more excitement and somethimes he'll travel around the forest for some days. His twolegs never worry, because they know the tom wil return and they let him go as he pleases. Drake really values his freedom and doesn't quite believe in 'borders' and assigned territories. This doesn't always work out in his favor though, as he's been in a fair share of scuffles with clancats and rogues. Overall Drake still has a positive attitude towards other cats and never attacks unless he's provoked. He can be a little cheeky and he's open to the cats he meets. Never ashamed of where he comes from. Jademist (jademist) Both accepted.) |

(Thanks!! Dappleberry being his old mentor would be very interesting!)
Sootwing had softly touched his nose to Briarleaf’s cold fur, thanking her for the times she patched him up when he got hurt as an apprentice. He’d always respected her and her role within the clan. It was sad to see her go. After saying his goodbyes he moved away to give other cats space to mourn.

Volethorn nodded to him. He didn't choose to acknowledge the rogue scent, it was stale so chances are the rogue was long gone. He headed off for the mouse, crutching close to the ground when he got closer to it, moving slowly when it as in view before leaping forward pouncing on to it.
"I'll go and tell them, or at the very least Willowpaw," she said. Dipping her head to the elder. "I enjoyed our talk Turtlepool, take care." She offered the elder a smile before she got up and made her way over to the apprentices that were watching the scene.

Turtlepool purred and watched as Iriscry made her way over to the apprentices. "Goodbye for now." She called quietly. She then saw Sootwing go up to Briarleaf's body and say goodbye. She settled down where she was and closed her eyes. It would be a long night and a longer morning with the trek to the Moontree.
Heronpaw saw Sootwing go up to Briarleaf's body and say goodbye. He wondered what the tom thought of Hawkstar's flippancy over her death. He knew Sootwing agreed with alot of what the leader said and seemed unphased by the kit ban. Heronpaw didn't know what to think of the interesting way his leader and mentor ran the clan. Je knew he didn't like the whispers of the clan dying out. And it seemed like the death of Briarleaf was an omen of that coming true.

We need a new mentor for Willowpaw since Beechflame no longer exists. I'm open to anyone. We also need a mentor for Birchpaw and Quickpaw) Silverrose could use an apprentice so I was going to have her mentor Quickpaw and Cherrydapple can mentor Willowpaw and finally Oakleaf for Birchpaw. Does that sound good everyone?) DawnmistEmber34Hawkeyes258 |

Here is my most recent posts for everyone. Ivy Ember34 Featherstar Dawnmist Jademist Hawkeyes258 triggermedic) Flora, Fawn and Doe- Open Somewhere outside of clan territory this little family was laying outside thier den and basking in the glorious sunshine. Flora had Fawn between her paws licking her head. She cleaned her up and purred all the while. "You two better be good" she said taking a break from bathing her daughter. Fawn giggled but layed still so Flora could continue to give her a bath. She loved her mother's attention and found that she could fall asleep to the rhythmic rasps of her mother's tongue. Doe smiled at her mother and sister. She felt her worries ease a little seeing that Flora was doing well today. She could see her mother struggle since the love of her life died. Heronpaw- Open Heronpaw padded through the forest holding a couple mice and a robin in his jaws. He was coming back from hunting and he felt a shift in energy as he neared the camp. He dropped his prey on the pile that would scarcely feed more than half the clan and looked up to the front of camp. There he saw cats mourning a sad lump of fur. He realized as he got closer that it was Briarleaf's body and he felt saddened. He sighed and went up to her body and dipped his head. Then he walked to where Hawkstar was. Heronpaw saw Sootwing go up to Briarleaf's body and say goodbye. He wondered what the tom thought of Hawkstar's flippancy over her death. He knew Sootwing agreed with alot of what the leader said and seemed unphased by the kit ban. Heronpaw didn't know what to think of the interesting way his leader and mentor ran the clan. Je knew he didn't like the whispers of the clan dying out. And it seemed like the death of Briarleaf was an omen of that coming true. Willowpaw with Meadowpaw, Cloudpaw, and Ripplepaw Willowpaw smiled. She nodded. "That would be cool. I'm sure our mentors would love for us to train together." She looked around for her mentor but didn't see them. "I think I saw Melonburr leave with Wrenwillow ealier, Cloudpaw." Sh informed hte other apprentice about her mentor. She sighed as she sat back and looked over the mourning clan. Rosebriar- Open Rosebriar moved from the side of the group up to the body of Briarleaf. She sniffled a little and touched her nose to the soft fur of the medicine cat and then quickly walked away feeling self-conscious. She went back to her spot at the edge of camp. Silverrose- Open Silverrose grimaced as she watched Cedarsong lay down. She knew he would mourn all night for his mentor. She just hoped no one would need him. They were low on herbs and morale in the clan and she knew that Hawkstar was only making things worse. She watched the clan looking for someone to talk to. Melonburr and Wrenwillow- Open The two cats were laying on some of the rocks by the pond sunning themselves. Melonburr purred and flipped from one flank to the other. He reached out his paw and tapped the top of his mates head with it. "I love you." He purred again and closed his eyes softly against the rays of the sun. Wrenwillow was much less wiggly than her mate. Primly laying with her stomach in the air. Her cinnamon colored tuxedo pelt glowing warmly in the sun's rays. She kicked out her legs in a big strech and yawned. "I love you too." She promptly fell asleep after that. Brackenheart with Frostflower Brackenheart walked back to the porch of his cabin and layed down. He took s bite of the vole and chewed it slowly. Not sure what else to do he started to bathe himself while muttering to himself about how unfair it was that Briarleaf died. Turtlepool with Iriscry Turtlepool purred and watched as Iriscry made her way over to the apprentices. "Goodbye for now." She called quietly. She then saw Sootwing go up to Briarleaf's body and say goodbye. She settled down where she was and closed her eyes. It would be a long night and a longer morning with the trek to the Moontree. |

Crowflight continued on his way past the trees. He scented the air and smelled more signs of the long gone rogue. He finally tracked down a robin. The bird was pecking at some seeds on the ground. He stalked and jumped pinning the robin to the ground before biting its neck. Je huffed in triumph and trotted back to bury his prey near where he last saw saw Volethorn.

(Sounds good to me!)
Cherrydapple: Open
Cherrydapple slowly walks over to Briarleaf and places her nose against the medicine cat's shoudler. "Say hello to dad for me." She mutters under her breath. She could see her father greeting the medicine cat with a smile and showing him her around. Pulling away, she shakes her head to stop herself from tearing up and moves away to compose herself.
Birchpaw: Open
Birchpaw sees a couple of his denmates chatting and wondered if he should go over and join them. He decides against it not wanting to make things awkward. Instead, he settles for watching his clanmates to see how they were all handling the death of their medicine cat.

Mother Dark // Sootwing gave a nod in acknowledgment towards Hawkstar and Heronpaw as he passed them and walked towards where Silverrose was sitting. Since everyone was feeling down with Briarleaf’s death and he had already said his goodbyes himself, Sootwing might as well do something useful for the clan. Maybe the deputy had some patrols planned or some other tasks. Or maybe they could just have a chat. “Hi Silverrose.” Sootwing greeted her with a dip of his head. “How’s it going?” He never quite understood why Hawkstar chose such a tiny cat as a deputy. Though, he did admire Silverrose’s determination and skill so he trusted that Hawkstar had chosen wisely.

Quickpaw was sitting alone, as her clan mates grieved their medicine cat. She noticed all of the apprentices huddled together, she sighed and continued to look around the camp. She felt sadness wash over her, and noticed Birchpaw all alone. She padded slowly over to him, “hi Birchpaw.” She said in a low voice while sitting about a tail length from him. She was tired of being alone, even though she did make that choice. Hawkeyes258 |

Birchpaw turned to see Quickpaw walking over to him. "Hello Quickpaw, how are you?" He asked flicking his ear at her. Least he wasn't lonely any more. He kind of knew Quickpaw but not very well but they had trained together a few times. Dawnmist |

Silverrose looked up from watching the clan as Sootwing came up to her. "Why hello. Things are pretty dreary today are they not?" She motioned to Cedarsong and Briarleaf.

Quickpaw put her tail over her paws and looked at Birchpaw, “I’m okay, how are you?” She looked around camp and watched her grieving camp mates, she couldn’t help but feel the grief wash over herself as well. Hawkeyes258 |

Mother Dark // Sootwing nodded and followed Silverrose’s gaze to the mourning medicine cat for a moment before turning to look back at her again. “She will be greatly missed.” He meowed and sat down next to the silver she-cat, curling his tail neatly over his paws. “Were you two close?” In his six moons as a warrior he hadn’t really picked up on Silverrose’s and Briarleaf’s relationship. The deputy seemed to be close to Cedarsong though.

JademistSilverrose gave a small smile. "I would say we were decently close. Since I became deputy I've tried to become close to the medicine cats especially but also everyone in the clan that seems like they need a friend." She sat up from where she had been laying down to look Sootwing morr directly in the eyes. She wondered if the tom had doubts about her since she very obviously opposed the kit ban and some of Hawkstar's other decisions and comments. Especially since he didn't seem to think that Briarleaf needed mourned. She wondered what would happen kf she died next.

Thank you(
Volethorn made his way back with the mouse in his jaws. He saw that the other was back with a robin. He knew they would need to report the rogue scent, especially since it was far from the border. He set the mouse down. "Should we collect the rest and head back?"
Iriscry waved her tail to the apprentices. "You all doing okay," she asked Willowpaw, Ripplepaw, Meadowpaw and Cloudpaw. "Have you said your goodbyes to Briarleaf?" She was certain that Meadowpaw most likely had, but she hadn't seen him so she couldn't be 100 percent.

Crowflight was padding along when he saw Volethorn coming. He dropped the robin at his feet and nodded while spitting out a feather. "Yeah I think we've got a decent amount of prey here." He scented the air and sighed. He wasn't sure why he expected to scent tons of prey scent but he was still disappointed when he scented nothing.

Willowpaw stood up straighter when Iriscry addressed her and the other apprentices. She shook her head wondering if she knew that she and Meadowpaw had left camp. "I- I'm a little nervous. What do I say?" She hadn't been a clan cat for a full moon yet so she wasn't sure wjat the customs were.

Mother Dark // Sootwing hummed understandingly. “That seems about right. It’s an important place medicine cats hold in the clan. I wouldn’t want to do their part.. with all the knowledge they need to use in stressful moments. It’s best to keep them on your friendly side I guess.” The black tom smiled softly, he held a great deal of respect for authority and important roles within the clan. It was unfortunate that the deputy, medicine cat and the leader didn’t seem to have their noses in the same direction though. Ember34 // Ripplepaw shot Willowpaw a warm glance. "Don't worry." He knew his sister would take the lead in talking, so Willowpaw could hide behind that if she was nervous. When he was a fresh apprentice it was already scary to talk to warriors but as a totally new member of the clan it must be even scarier. "Hi Iriscry!" Cloudpaw greeted the warrior as she came up to them. "I think we've all just been waiting for the cats closest to Briarleaf to go first, right?" She meowed and glanced around the group of apprentices, she wasn't sure whether Willowpaw and Meadowpaw had said their goodbyes to Briarleaf but she wasn't about to out them for leaving camp.

"I'm okay just a little sad." Birchpaw said as he watches the cats near Briarleaf's body. "I don't really know what to do with the news."

Quickpaw nodded in agreement to Birchpaw, “I understand, that’s how I’m feeling.” She brushed the ground with a paw. “Hopefully we can go training or hunting tomorrow.” She added just to change the subject. Maybe talking about something else could make them feel better, even for the moment in time.

JademistSilverrose nodded. The duties of a medicine cat were very difficult. "I don't think I would want to do their duties either." She looked over the clan and wondered if she should send out another patrol to go hunting. She sighed and glanced over to where Heronpaw hovered next to Hawkstar. "Why don't you take out Heronpaw to do a border patrol. Your brother and Volethorn are out hunting right now" She smiled to show she cared what he thought of the assignment he had been given and then thought for a second. "Maybe actually check that the path to the moon tree is clear for the elders and Cedarsong." Willowpaw blinked thanks at Ripplepaw and Cloudpaw. She sat quietly as the older apprentice spoke to her brother's mentor. She relaxed a little when it was said that they were waiting thier turn. "I don't know how the clan mourns. Its not something I have covered with my mentor" She added shyly

Iriscry gave a small nod. "All you need to do Willowpaw is say some goodbyes," she said. "Those closest with her might be specific with it. But you can simply just go to her body and touch your nose to her and wish her well travels to Starclan." She looked at the young apprentice. "But it's okay if you aren't comfortable with it, you haven't been with us long so it's okay if you aren't ready." She offered a kind smile to the apprentice hoping to ease her.
Volethorn gave a nod. "If we smell anything on our way back we could try getting it," he said before picking up the prey he caught and started making his way back, he would need to pick up the squirrel he caught earlier if it was still where he had it hidden.

Crowflight grabbed up his prey and started to follow Volethorn back to the camp. He wasn't lookibg forward to the sad gazes of his clanmates and the hole that was torn in the clan by Briarleaf's death. He sighed through the prey and kept padding forward .

Mother Dark // Sootwing rose to his paws at Silverrose’s words. It was exactly what he wantend; getting out of camp and doing something useful. He hadn’t asked the deputy for a task himself, since he didn’t want to be rude while everyone was mourning but his paws had been itching to do something. He could see why Hawkstar would want to cut the mourning time shorter. The atmosphere in camp was incredibly gloomy and everyone was just moping around. “Good idea. I’ll make sure the path to Moon Tree is clear for their journey.” The black warrior dipped his head to Silverrose and turned away to walk towards Hawkstar and Heronpaw. Ember34 // "When will the elders take Briarleaf to her final resting place? At sundown?" Cloudpaw asked Iriscry. Luckily she hadn't really seen much deaths since she was an apprentice but she knew a few of the customs that came with it. She wondered whether they'd really see a new star appear at Silverpelt tonight, like their mother used to tell them. Ripplepaw glanced over at where Briarleaf's lifeless body laid. Maybe this was a good time to say his goodbyes? Or should he let Willowpaw go first? He decided to await her reaction on Iriscry's encouraging comments.

"She will get taken in the morning to the Moontree," she answered Cloudpaw. She glanced to the body where Cedarsong still resided with the body. Turning her gaze back to the apprentices.
Volethorn dug up the squirrel he had caught earlier as they got to its location. He glanced back at Crowflight briefly. He wasn't looking forward to going back to the mourning camp either. It would be a rough time for the clan for a while it seemed.

JademistSilverrose nodded happily. She was glad that the young warrior was willing to listen to her and make sure the path was clear for the elders. She knew he sided more with Hawkstar and was glad he wasn't disrespectful about it. She sighed as he walked away and tried to think of a story she could share with someone about Briarleaf. Heronpaw sat beside Hawkstar not talking. Je was waiting for the leader to say something important when he saw Sootwing headed toward him. He got to his paws and mwt him halfway. "Hello" he chirped. Ember34Willowpaw nodded and looked anxiously at the other apprentices and then at the body of Briarleaf. She got to her paws and waited to see if the others would do the same. She walked up to where Cedarsong lay beside his mentor and touched her nose to the she-cat's cold fur. "Thank you for being so kind to me" she murmured as she turned and walked away. A single tear fell onto her cheek.

Okay I redid the layout on the front page so everything is the same size and added a couple starclan cats for references. We have our first two leaders and the first 3 medicine cats up as starclan cats. I would love to figure out more former pairings for mentors and appretinces.))))
