Shadecreek - In Camp - Ember34 ; bluewonder ; Dark ; Sand Unable to stand the pitiful and heartbreaking sight before him any longer, Shadecreek heaved himself up and moved slowly to Mintpaw. He picked the tiny scrap of fur as gently as possible by the scruff and carried him to his nest. The poor kit had to be absolutely terrified at what was happen to him, the least he could do is offer what little bit of comfort he could provide. (Shadecreek entered dad-mode (: ) |

 Lizardeye purred at her mate at his suggestion to 'guard' camp with him. "That would be great. Let's do that." She let him lead the way to a spot closer to the camp entrance, and she settled down, her eyes alert and her ears perked for any sign of danger. Though her senses weren't quite what they once were, it felt good to be serving her clan, if only in this small way. As she saw sick cats come and go, she glanced at Oatstream, concern darkening her face. "Dapplesky..." She mewed, knowing he would understand her. Their granddaughter still hadn't returned, nor had their son-in-law Oriolehop.
Thistlestar had watched from a crouched position as the cats swarmed in and out of camp. A little too chaotic for her liking. They'd have to run drills soon- they needed to be better prepared for something like this. If Willowclan ever attacked, they couldn't be running around like a finch with it's head cut off. Suddenly, Frecklecloud was entering with Mintpaw in tow. She watched as cats poured around them, and allowed the medicine cats to do what they did best. She also took note of Cedarstorm and Pebblepaw running back out into the forest. Wonder what that is about? She mused. Perhaps a cat so injured on the battlefield that Cedarstorm had to go to them? Or could they be looking for herbs? A little late for that... She growled. How could her clan be so lazy as to not prepare for these moments? She had heard the grumblings- some disagreed with her methods. But was it not painstakingly obvious that if they struggled this much over a badger attack, how much more when Willowclan attacked them? Starclan had blessed them with their home.... they had to protect it.

 Waspfang grunted in reply, shaking the dust out of his fur. He looked towards the long-furred gray tom and gave him a slight nod of comradery and approval. "Couldn't be better." He growled, his words coming in huffs as he tried to catch his breath. "You held your own pretty well. Probably want to get those wounds seen to by Cedarstorm though." He gazed around the bedraggled group, taking in the wounds of every cat. They all looked worse for the wear, but no cat was at Starclan's door. "Right. That badger will think twice before stepping paw in Ivyclan territory again. Let's head back." He paused momentarily, before letting out another, "You all did well." To his group. It was uncharacteristic of him, but it was true, and he felt a sense of pride at having battled alongside them. His eyes landed on young Stoatpaw, his apprentice. "Even you."
 Seeing his mentor beckon to him, Pebblepaw cast one quick glance at Cedarstorm. "One second, I'll be quick." He mewed, before returning to Shadecreek. He couldn't bring himself to look down at Mintpaw's marred body. "What is it, Shadecreek? I'm about to go out with Cedarstorm. We will get some herbs for you and everyone else, and I'll make it up to you, I promise!" In his heart, he felt certain the tom was going to call him out on his inaction. He knew it wasn't Shadecreek's way, but he was so distraught with himself he couldn't see how Shadecreek would react any differently.

(Dear Thistlestar, in light of today's events, your efforts for your clan and your charming personality we've bestowed on you this new wonderful power: The feeling of legos under your paws wherever you set them. Sincerly, every somewhat decent Ivyclan and Starclan cat)
Darkwhisper - Badger Attack - Fighting Patrol
Once it was clear the badger had no intention of continuing Darkwhisper loosened his grip and let himself fall of its back. He quickly jumped to his paws and glanced around, hoping no one was too badly hurt. Darkwhisper then stood off to the side a little, waiting for Waspfang to give the patrol any orders.
Stoatpaw - Badger Attack - Fighting Patrol
Stoatpaw watched from behind Oriolehop as the badger finally retreated. For a moment she just sat where she was, then she finally stepped out from behind Oriolehop to join the rest. "Thank you," she meowed to the warrior and dipped her head. As her gaze swept across the rest of the patrol she lowered her ears when she saw Waspfang. Neither she nor Mintpaw had been of any use in this fight and she was sure Waspfang would get on her case for that. Right now though she didn't dread it too much, she was more worried about her littermate and hoped that Frecklecloud had gotten him back to camp safely. She was snapped out of her thoughts when Waspfang addressed the patrol. Surprised at his words she stood up a little straighter. She briefly returned his gaze before dipping her head and meowing her thanks.

Shadecreek - In Camp - Ember34 ; bluewonder ; Dark "Just wanted to tell you real quick that you did great out there," Shadecreek said, a bit of strength coming back to his voice, "Don't let yourself think that you didn't do enough. You did everything I told you to do and waited for the others to join in before attacking. You even helped save my life. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise, especially not Thistlestar." He gave Pebblepaw a flick on his shoulder with his feathery tail and nodded to the den's entrance, giving his apprentice to go with Cedarstorm. (Shadecreek's such a dad haha)

Here here to the lego powerstone)
We stan Shadecreek being everyone's father figure)
Tansypool-Badger Attack-Fighting Patrol
Tansypool shook out his fur, glancing around to the rest of the patrol. Everyone seemed to be alright, or at least he hoped. He followed after the older warriors, keeping quiet as the tom was getting lost to his thoughts. Worried for the clanmates that were back at camp that were hurt. The tom shook out his fur to calm himself.
Mintpaw-Medicine Cat Den-Frecklecloud, Mossyleap, Hollyfeather, Shadecreek
Mintpaw whimpered as he was picked up, but the young tom relaxed recognizing a familiar scent in Shadecreek and buried himself into the other tom's fur, feeling safer. The apprentice tried his hardest to stay awake to ask Shadecreek what happened, but black spots were filling his vision and the tom slipped back into unconsciousness. But he stayed as close as he could to Shadecreek's side.

(Ember how dare you) Shadecreek - In Camp - Ember34 ; DarkShadecreek felt his heartbreak even further and gently began to groom the tiny apprentice as he watched Mintpaw bury himself in his long black fur. He's barely old enough to leave his mother's side, let alone fight a fully grown badger. Eventually Shadecreek stopped grooming the kit and laid his head down, strength leaving his body as the pain and stress of the afternoon came crashing down. "I'm going to keep looking out for you, Mintpaw. I promise," he murmured as he closed his exhausted eyes. |

He met Lizardeye's gaze and couldn't hide the same worry he had in his own eyes. "I can go search for her," he offered, beginning to get up. Mossyleap w/ Shadecreek, Mintpaw & Hollyfeather- Junospower; Ember34The molly watched the heart-wrenching interaction and dipped her head towards Hollyflower. "I think this is my cue to go. Thank you for taking care of Shadecreek." With that, she- for once in her life- quietly left the den. Hollyfeather w/ Shadecreek & Mintpaw- Junospower; Ember34Hollyfeather flicked her tail goodbye to the she-cat and turned back towards the two toms, opening her mouth to speak, and stopping when she realized both of their eyes were closed. She sat down, tail wrapped around her paws, and watched them. (lol Hollyfeather stalker vibes) |

(Mmm, absolutely, yes. To see Thistlestar with one of those annoyed-cat faces bc she has to constantly step on legos would be absolutely amazing. Starclan? Make it happen.
Also, I am living for Shadecreek being everyone's dad 2023 )
Waspfang Returning to Camp
With Patrol, and Stoatpaw, Pineclaw ; and Shatterfrost, Dark
 Patchpaw Returning to Camp
With the Patrol; Stoatpaw, Pineclaw
"No." Lizardeye protested. "No, we can't afford to have you wandering the Ivy Forest when there's a rabid badger on the loose. Better to just wait until the patrol gets back and see what news they bring." Her fur was still puffed out around her and her eyes couldn't hide her concern, but she knew it was irrational to go out looking for her. They'd have news of whether or not she was at the battle soon enough. Lizardeye glanced over at the medicine cat den. Mintpaw and Shadecreek seemed so injured... how many more would join them today?
Pebblepaw stared at his paws, his eyes welling with emotion. He swiped a white forepaw over his eye to fight the sting, his ears flat against his head. He deserved ridicule, punishment! How could Shadecreek be so kind to him when he did nothing to deserve it? "O-okay..." Pebblepaw muttered, unable to get any other words out past the lump in his throat. He was finally able to see the small unconscious body of Mintpaw through his foggy vision, and wished for a moment he could go to Frecklecloud and bury himself in her fur. But he couldn't, he had promised Shadecreek and the others that he would make up for what he had done earlier. Seeing Shadecreek beginning to be overcome with exhaustion, Pebblepaw left him and returned to Cedarstorm once more. He cleared his throat and licked his chest fur a couple of times, making himself more presentable. "I-i'm ready now." He mewed. "Sorry."

Tinypaw
In the medicine den, with Shadecreek, Mintpaw, and Hollyfeather Ember34 Junospower Tinypaw was out collecting herbs, and when she felt she had a good haul, she began padding back to camp, just as she reached the entrance, she heard a commotion inside and rushed into camp to see what had happened. Noticing a group of cats at the medicine den, she hurried over there. ' What happened'Tinypaw asked Hollyfeather anxiously upon entering the den, just then she noticed Shadecreek lying in the den alongside her brother, Mintpaw, who was barley moving. ' No!' she cried, rushing over to her brothers side.

Tansypool- Returning to Camp-Stoatpaw, Waspfang, Shatterfrost, Darkwhisper
Tansypool followed the other cats back to camp. He was tired, but he was debating on staying out to do a short hunting trip, though he doubted any prey would be around with all the noise from the fight. Tansypool looked at Stoatpaw. "He's right, you did good back there," he said to her. While he had been against the kits being apprenticed early, Stoatpaw showed that she was doing alright with her training.

Shatterfrost w/ Patrol- bluewonder ; Pineclaw ; Ember34Shatterfrost gave the tom a nod and led the way back to camp, ignoring the stinging pain on his flank. He would make sure to check in with the medicine cats later. He made sure to walk at a steady pace in consideration of the cats who were more severely injured. Mothdapple w/ Owlfoot- 🐦silvermoon2🐦 Mothdapple raced after Owlfoot, trailing right behind him. The scent of his clanmates was more distinct now, and this caused him to pick up the pace. Oatstream w/ Lizardeye- bluewonder Oatstream sat back down with a nod and followed her gaze. "You're right, we don't need anyone else getting hurt," he sighed. Hollyfeather w/ Tinypaw, Shadecreek, & Mintpaw- 🐦silvermoon2🐦 ; Junospower ; Ember34 Hollyfeather lightened up when she saw the herbs that Tinypaw brought, sorting through them to find the ones she needed. She grabbed a bit of comfrey from the pile, chewed it into a poultice, and applied it to Mintpaw's injured leg. She wrapped Mintpaw's leg with cobweb to keep it steady and stepped back with a sigh. "He'll be okay, Tinypaw." The molly rested her tail on Tinypaw's shoulder.

In Medicine Den, with Mintpaw, Shadecreek, and HollyflowerAfter she recovered from her initial shock of seeing her brother injured and with Hollyflower's reassurance, Tinypaw began to calm down, she was embarrassed at her panic, knowing that if she was going to make a good medicine cat she needed to be more calm. ' Is there anything I can do'Tinypaw asked Hollyflower, wanting to help the two injured cats.

Oh wow, it's canon now xD My OTP for sure. Mintpaw x Leaves forever!) Darkwhisper - Returning to Camp - Fighting PatrolDarkwhisper followed the others back to camp, intentionally falling behind a little to guard the rear. Listening for suspicious sounds and keeping his eyes out for any potential danger he wondered how things were in camp. Frecklecloud had probably made it back by now with Mintpaw and he doubted that many cats would react well to it. Foxskip would be absolutely livid with Thistlestar, now that one of her kits had been injured and Darkwhisper was certain that she would confront their leader over this. While he agreed with those who thought that Mintpaw, Stoatpaw and Tinypaw shouldn't have been made apprentices yet he also didn't want the clan to descent into chaos and so he hoped that no one would do anything that could provoke Thistlestar.
Stoatpaw - Returning to Camp - with Waspfang (briefly), Patchpaw, Tansypool (bluewonder , Ember34 )Stoatpaw nodded at her mentor's words. "I'll get stronger," she meowed earnestly, an eager gleam in her eyes. While Waspfang wasn't easy to get along with and his attitude could get her riled up she saw no reason to argue. He was right after all and she wanted to get better at using her earth powers. And while she knew she could do a bit better than she had done today it was even more reason to work on it. She needed to learn how to use her powers in a tense situation, it wouldn't do her any good after all if she could only do well under relatively calm circumstances. As the group headed back Stoatpaw wished they were in camp already. She wanted nothing more than go check on Mintpaw and then crawl into her nest until the next day. She focused on the path ahead and did her best to keep up with the others. Once or twice she dragged her paws before letting out an annoyed grunt and fixing her posture. She didn't want to look weak by making her tiredness too obvious. At Patchpelt's purr she looked up and let out a small chuckle at his remark. "Trust me, I know," she purred. "I was surprised too. It's not like I did much, I was hiding for most of the fight. But it's nice to know I did something right." When Tansypool spoke up Stoatpaw too gave another small smile. "Thanks, Tansypool. I'm glad it worked out. Well, mostly," she added a bit more quietly. Mintpaw hadn't gotten out of this unscathed after all. At Patchpaw's concern she just looked at him for a moment but then nodded. It wasn't a strange thing to ask after such a battle so she didn't mind. Patchpaw wasn't asking this because she wasn't as strong as a cat her age should be. "No, I'm okay," she said. "The badger didn't even get too close to me, thanks to Oriolehop." She sighed and shook her head. "A little tired though. It was still a tough fight. What about you? Are you alright?" |

Hollyfeather w/ Tinypaw, Mintpaw & Shadecreek- 🐦silvermoon2🐦; Ember34; JunospowerThe she-cat flicked her tail. "Gathering those herbs was very helpful, Tinypaw, I think you've done a good job. Cedarstorm and Pebblepaw just left to collect more as well." She hadn't spotted any marigold in the pile, but she was sure Cedarstorm would find some. "I think the most we can do now is stay here and wait until the two wake up."

Wolfpaw - Camp - Open
Wolfpaw was standing outside the elders den, ready to guard it in case the badger made it all the way to their camp. He watched Frecklecloud returning with Mintpaw and let out a soft mewl, both out of concern to his fellow apprentice and for the patrol that was still fighting the badger. Patchpaw and Stoatpaw were on it too and Wolfpaw hoped they were alright, as well as the other warriors. More than once he had to resist the urge to walk over to the medicine cat den to see how Shadecreek and Mintpaw were but he was supposed to protect the camp until the patrol came back and so he stayed where he was, growing more uneasy with every passing second. He kept glancing towards the camp's entrance, expecting to see either Shatterfrost's patrol or the badger emerge.
Weaselflare - Outisde of Camp - Open
Weaselflare stood near the camp's entrance and every now and then she scented the air for any signs of badger. She trusted that Shatterfrost and the others were able to deal with it but there was still a chance it got away and made its way here. At first Weaselflare had stayed inside camp but eventually had stepped outside. There were enough cats inside to proplerly defend it and it was better if a few were stationed outside. If the badger came here they could slow it down and warn the cats inside. Besides, there was just too much going on in camp after Frecklecloud had brought in Mintpaw. Weaselflare couldn't focus on guarding the camp when there was such a commotion. As she thought about this, she wondered how her clanmates would act towards Thistlestar now. Plenty of her clanmates were unhappy about Mintpaw and his littermates becoming apprentices early but not too many dared to speak up against the leader. Weaselflare herself was not shy when it came to stating her opinion about this but she was one of the clan's newest warriors and there was no way Thistlestar would take her complaints seriously. Not that she would let that stop her from trying though, once the patrol was back and things had calmed down a little she would probably drop some more remarks about naming apprentices early being a bad and cruel decision.

Lizardeye gave her mate a comforting lick on the cheek. "She's brave, even if she doesn't know it." She mewed, comforting herself more than anyone. "She'll be okay. I keep forgetting she's a full grown warrior now and not a little apprentice."
Patchpaw paused his trek momentarily to lift one forepaw. It was battered and bloody, the paw pads having been blistered by all the running back and forth he had done. "Pretty much normal besides my paws." He set his forepaw down again and continued walking, noting with relief they were almost to camp. "And you think you were hiding? I wasn't even there for half the battle! I was just a messenger." Unlike his brother, Patchpaw tended to take a more optimistic approach when it came to his own accomplishments, so he wasn't necessarily upset that he hadn't seen the bulk of the battle. Being a runner was important- he had brought the group that had ultimately won the fight. However, he felt sorry that Stoatpaw had to endure a battle that he didn't. She had handled herself well, though, it seemed. He cast a sidelong glance at Tansypool. The tom's kind demeanor, and perhaps his smaller size, made Patchpaw a little more comfortable with him than he would other warriors. "Have you ever seen a badger like that?" Patchpaw asked, the thrill of what had just happened returning to him a little.
