Moon 344-Leaf-fall

It looks like the nursery is going to be full as leaf-bare approaches.  Because Dawnstar (128) has also announced that he and Sofanthiel (133) are expecting kits.  Interesting.  There may be more dark-cursed cats coming to ElementClan soon.  Dawnstar is excited to have kits of his own, but he hasn’t forgotten about his adoptive son.  He finds a bit of fluff that smells like Ryeeagle (14) and adds it to his nest.  Sofanthiel also spends some time with her oldest son and basks in the sun with Ryeeagle.  He’s excited to have some younger half-siblings.  Meanwhile, Bumble (121) is having a bit of fun pranking the younger healers.  He mixes up some herbs, which Blizzardfur (14) has to sort out.  Ha-ha!  Aphidwhisker (41) is generally a popular cat in the Clan.  She has received several invitations to share tongues and is deciding which to take.  She settles on Blizzardfur (14), as getting in good graces with the healer could help her chances of advancing in the Clan.  Aphidwhisker is tired of being stuck in camp under her sister’s strict rules.  She decides to sneak out of camp with Aspenthud.  The two have a good time together and make several good catches.  Said strict sister hangs out with Blizzardfur, checking in with how the young healer is doing.  He’s doing well.  Flailvalley (36) is not.  He was prancing around in front of Longpelt (58) and confessed his love to the older cat.  Longpelt is surprised.  Them, together?  It wouldn’t work out.  He rejects Flailvalley.  The young warrior is dejected throughout the next couple of days and gets in a fight with Ryeeagle when they were supposed to be fixing up the camp walls for leaf-bare.  Tansypaw (14) steps in and fixes them instead, adding some nice thick shoots to keep the heat in.  Sofanthiel gives some advice to Flailvalley, trying to cheer him up after his rejection.  It doesn’t really help though.  Sofanthiel’s about to have kits with the cat she loves and he’s stuck all alone.

Aspenthud got a lilac bell color (accessory).

Moon 343-Leaf-fall

Kestrelcreek (132) has announced that she is expecting kits!  She’s excited to have new children, but Croucheye (54) is a little apprehensive about having new siblings, especially with her mother so old.  And after having lost all her other siblings.  She doesn’t know if she, or Kestrelcreek, can handle that loss again.  Meanwhile, Embershell (61) and Aries (109) are thinking about cats that died too soon.  Aries wishes that she could have spent more time with Copperheart, and Embershell hopes that Mistytooth is doing well in StarClan.  Mistytooth also feels like he was gone too soon, and wishes he were still alive.  Flailvalley (35) could use some support.  On a lighter note, Blizzardpaw (13) has been made a full healer!  He is now named Blizzardfur, in honor of his composure.  He’s a little bit proud of beating his sister to his full name.  Tansypaw (13) isn’t focused on that.  She’s checking up on her patients and making sure that Embershell is doing alright with the water in her lungs.  Hopcurl (61) has noticed that Ryeeagle (13) is always one of the first to volunteer for difficult tasks.  Xey wonder if he is trying to stumble onto an opportunity to prove himself.  He isn’t, really.  He just likes doing things.  There seems to be a bit of tension growing between Dapplemuzzle (40) and Bumble (120).  The healer overhears Dapplemuzzle telling jokes about her and the two get in a small argument about it.  Dawnstar (127) doesn’t notice.  He’s too busy imparting his wisdom on Sofanthiel (132).  He loves that she listens to him.  On patrol, Dapplemuzzle and Aspenthud (13) find a sick kittypet named Kimberlystrike (32) who they bring back to camp.  She has a medium high strength water-blessing.

Moon 342-Leaf-fall

Ryepaw (12) has been made a warrior!  He is named Ryeeagle in honor of his integrity.  He’s much more confident now than he was when he was first apprenticed, and Dapplemuzzle (39) is proud of how far he’s come.  Longpelt (56) is a little out of it this moon and bumps into Aries (108).  He doesn’t even apologize!  Kestrelcreek (131) scolds him, reminding him to respect the senior warriors and keep his wits about him, even in a time of peace.  Meanwhile, Aphidwhisker (39) just thinks that Longpelt is being thoughtful of others.  Aspenthud (12) realizes that Tansypaw (12) seems a little lonely and shares tongues with his sister.  They spend time chatting and exchanging stories, with Tansypaw mentioning how much she admires Kestrelcreek’s dedication to the Clan.  Blizzardpaw (12) is feeling a little left out of the sibling bonding session and is dealing with it by  telling jokes about Dapplemuzzle.  But Aspenthud is glad for the responsibility that being a warrior offers him and volunteers to lead patrols, which makes Dapplemuzzle’s job easier.  Sofanthiel (131) enjoys mated life and teasingly pranks Dawnstar (126).  He is perfectly fine with that and confident that his Clan adores him.  However, Aphidwhisker does not adore Dawnstar.  She’s frustrated that she’s not proven, even though she’s had an apprentice! In StarClan, Skipneedle is disappointed in her niece.  She’s started down a potentially dark path. In the Dark Forest, Yuccawillow wishes that she could destroy the Clan that wronged her.  How comforting.

Moon 341-Greenleaf

Well, Dawnstar (125) got over Bluestripe pretty quick.  And speed-ran falling in love with Sofanthiel (130).  The two have become mates and, with their heads pressed together speaking their commitment in front of the Clan, there’s nothing in Sofanthiel and Dawnstar’s worlds but love.  Dawnstar also decides to adopt Ryepaw (11), something he never did for Bluestripe’s kits.  Dapplemuzzle (38) can’t help but feel like Sofanthiel is replacing her mom.  She steps on Sofanthiel’s foot and pretends not to notice.  Dapplemuzzle goes to Aries (107) for advice on how to process her feelings, but regrets it immediately when Aries misses the point and starts talking about all the trouble she could get Sofanthiel in instead.  Aphidwhisker (38) still has a grudge against Hatchswipe (86) for some reason.  Hatchswipe does not reciprocate said grudge.  She’s doing her usual ‘looking-out-for-other-cats’ thing and reminds Aphidwhisker to grab some fresh-kill.  Aspenpaw (11) has also been made a warrior!  He is named Aspenthud, in honor of his logic.  Flailvalley (33) is proud of his first apprentice, although seeing Aspenthud’s siblings congratulate him makes him miss his own littermates. Tansypaw (11), despite having her brother in the healer’s den with her, is starting to realize that being a healer can be lonely.  It’ll be a while before she gets her full name, like Aspenthud just did.  She feels disconnected from him.

Moon 346-Leaf-bare

Dawnstar (130) and Sofanthiel (135) have had their kit!  Interestingly, little Partridgekit (0) is earth-blessed.  Dawnstar and Sofanthiel are a little confused at where that magic came from, but the Clan is always in need of more Healers.  A full healer’s den (in the good way) is something that no living cat in the Clan has seen.  Kestrelcreek (135) and Aries (112) aren’t mates, so Kestrelcreek isn’t planning on adopting Aries’ older kits.  But she still wants them to have a good relationship with their little brothers and checks in with Aspenthud when he comes to visit the nursery.  Aries might be longing for a bit of romance with Kestrelcreek, though.  She thinks her eyes are very pretty.  Flailvalley (38) has decided to try and be friends with Longpelt (60).  But it’s not easy when Longpelt is noticeably distracted while Flailvalley is telling a story.  Especially when said distraction is admiring Aphidwhisker (43).  Well, it turns out that Flailvalley no longer has to try and get along with the cat who rejected him.  Because Longpelt was attacked by an eagle while hunting with Sofanthiel.  Even through burning feathers, the eagle was too much for him and Longpelt died in the battle.  Sofanthiel and Kimberlystrike (35) have similar backgrounds, so Sofanthiel has taken the newcomer under her wing.  And is explaining to her why prey is so important.  Their last deputy actually starved to death.  Meanwhile, Aphidwhisker chats with Dapplemuzzle (43) about a dream she had last night.  She thinks it might have been from StarClan.  In the dark forest, Yuccawillow is planning something.  And it won’t be good for ElementClan.
