“Are these yours?”

The voice snapped Alderstar out of his focus, and he looked over, the fur along his spine rising on instinct. He didn’t see anyone at first, only the shadow cast by a mangrove root, but as he squinted into the dark, he saw first his terrified kits, and then the absolutely furious cat behind them, looming like a dead tree. Two shadows stretched out from the cat’s paws, cast over his kits so only their bright, fearful eyes shone out.

“Let them go.” He growled.

There was a harsh, grating chuckle. “After what they did?”

“It was just a prank!” Treekit squealed.

The tall cat bent down, teeth bared. “Blood drawn in my den makes a poor prank, and an even poorer prankster.” They straightened up, and the shadows retreated, letting Treekit and Drizzlekit run towards their father

Alderstar growled at the tall cat, trying to scare them off, but was stopped when they fixed him in their glare. Alder stopped dead, fear running down his spine like the thin fangs of leaf-bare chill.

“Keep your younglings away from me and mine, Alderstar.” the cat growled. “Or I’ll show you exactly why the clans still fear my name.”

Notes:

- Tree and Drizzle put a thorn in Mellowpaw’s nest

===================

A little overprotective with the protective parent there

[iceclan-iterations]

[everybody-loves-purdy]

if sunbeam and Nightheart have kittens, Nightheart should not be allowed to name them.

because he would come up with the most BASIC names for them.

a brown kit would be mudkit

a white kit would be snowkit

a black kit would be blackkit

a bicolor kit would be patchkit

No no let him cook it will be funny

Imagine four kits and Sunbeam names two and Nightheart names two. Then the names are things like Valleykit, Drizzlekit, Blackkit, and Mudkit, everyone will be like “aww gee I sure wonder which two Nightheart was in charge of naming”

[saltclangen]

Clan Founders

Here are the founders of Saltclan! All of these guys were made and edited manually, but all cats going forward will not be.

More info, + their in-game sprites will be under the cut

Tarantulastar

She/her

20 moons  

Cunning

Omen Sight

Deep Dark Forest Bond 

Tarantulastar is constantly thinking about how to better the clan. She has not had a single thought relating to herself, she is constantly worrying over her clanmates. She was the one who led these cats to their new home, after being guided by an ominous young spirit. She is very bedraggled and has seen the horrors. Cats seem to call out to her in her dreams, but she doesn’t know where it is coming from. 

Brightshark-Deputy 

She/her

40 moons

Sincere 

Great Storyteller 

Valuable Insight 

The oldest cat to come along, Brightshark is adored by the entire clan, except by Hazywhisker but he's a massive loser. Brightshark is just a complete sweetheart. There isn't much else to say, other than she is Reefpaw’s mentor, and he is very fond of her. 

Harpyswoop-Healer 

He/They

16 moons

Compassionate 

Great Kittsitter and Healer 

Harpyswoop is a very sad fella. He seems to always be on edge. The only cat who can sometimes manage to make him relax is Breezesight, but he is constantly scanning the horizon. He didn’t come with the group of cats, instead being found in the territory where he asked to join in and help form the clan. 

Boadance

He/him

24 moons

Grumpy

Formidable Fighter

Valuable Insight 

He just kinda chills and causes issues. Honestly my favorite cat, despite the very little he actually seems to contribute. 

Hazywhisker

He/him

20 moons

Sneaky

Great Hunter

An incredibly sleazy guy. He contributes to the clan, but at the same time does not care about anyone. He’s sneaking around and finding out god knows what. 

Breezesight  

She/he 

15 moons

lonesome 

fast as the wind

den builder

Breezesight really doesn’t fit in. She’s constantly standoffish to the other cats and prefers to do everything alone. The only cat she gets along with at all is Harpyswoop, and she is very close with him. She was likely given Mangopaw as an apprentice to help her fit in, but the two only really tolerate each other. Breezesight isn’t really sure of her place in the clan, and her insecurities come up as she lashes out. 

Reefpaw

He/him

9 moons 

Childish

Good teacher

Oddly Observant 

Reefpaw is a complete sweetheart. He really struggled with training at first but makes up for it by just being such a kind little guy. He is very fond of Mangopaw and the kits. 

Mangopaw 

He/him

8 moons 

Rebellious 

Curious About Starclan

Mangopaw is one confident little man. He is sure he is going to be the best warrior, despite his lack of faith in Breezesight. He is very close with Reefpaw, as he helped Mangopaw sneak off with this group of cats when he was originally turned away. 

Gentlekit

She/her

3 moons 

Polite

Lover of Stories 

Gentlekit just wants to grow up already. She doesn’t like to be babied, and she sees herself as very grown up and mature. She and the slightly younger Drizzlekit were found inside the territory Saltclan chose to settle, seeing the two kits as a sign. 

Drizzlekit 

She/her

2 moons 

Sweet 

Interested in clan history 

She’s just a baby. She is so sweet and gentle; she cares about everyone and would cry if you look at her wrong. Innocent creachur 

[kittypeting]

Here's my girl Robinpine and her story so far:

Robinpine was born to her fathers Wheatpelt and Cobaltfreckle alongside her sister Fernspot. The clan was very small at the time, so Robinkit and Fernkit were the only ones in the nursery for their duration. At the age of 4 moons, Robinkit began looking up to Pinepaw, the next youngest cat in the clan. Pinepaw was very playful with Robinkit and Fernkit, without shirking on her apprentice duties in the slightest. Robinkit didn't realize it until she was an apprentice herself, but she had a crush on the molly.

Robinkit was apprenticed to Marigoldtree, an incredibly young warrior less than 12 moons older than herself, while Fernkit was chosen by Sandivy to begin training as FlameClan's next Medicine Cat. Marigoldtree was a dutiful mentor to Robinpaw, who spent a good deal of her time longing for Pinepaw, who ended up receiving her warrior name, Pinewillow, when Robinpaw was 9 moons old. A moon later, Robinpaw, Marigoldtree, and Pinewillow were all on hunting patrol together. Searching rabbit burrows, Robinpaw was snapped at by a wolverine. Scared for her life, the apprentice called for her mentor and ran, while Pinewillow lunged at the wolverine to prevent it from catching Robinpaw. Pinewillow was killed quickly by the wolverine as Marigoldtree rushed his apprentice back to camp.

Robinpaw was incredibly crushed, but after Pinewillow's vigil, had a dream of the molly, who assured her to continue her life, and to let herself feel driven by her love.

Robinpaw passed her warrior assessment at 11 moons old, and request from Dawnstar to have her warrior name be Robinpine in honor of Pinewillow. She was granted this name.

Yet more tragedy was in store for the young warrior, however. Just two moons after she was made a warrior, after she had finally gotten used to being a full-fledge warrior of FlameClan, her father Wheatpelt passed from greencough. This was a huge blow to the family, and the consequences have lead to Robinpine and Fernspot still having a cooler relationship with their other father Cobaltfreckle.

Moons and moons passed, a few rogues and kittypets joined the clan, notably in the case of Robinpine, a rogue named Gust was brought to camp by Fernspot who found her ill while gathering herbs. Robinpine did her best to make Gust feel welcome, and had middling success. She often ended up unintentionally making Gust feel uncomfortable, which guilted Robinpine. But through patrols, border skirmishes, and badger attacks, the two mollies grew close, Gustwhisker (who had taken a warrior name) confessed love to Robinpine, and the pair mated.

Leadership of the clan changed quickly and suddenly, the deputy Condortooth had retired due to age and injury, with Dawnstar retiring not long after due to age again and grief over a lost mate. This left Greenquiver, now Greenstar, leader, and Marigoldtree deputy.

Seeming to use this as an opportunity to take territory, a rival clan, Mudclan, began war with Flameclan. A few cats on both sides died, Greenstar losing two lives in the war. Robinpine had barely survived a battle which left her tail completely mangled, and it had to be amputated by Fernspot to prevent infection.

Robinpine began expecting kits with Gustwhisker after the clan had eventually found stability under its inexperienced leaders. She moved into the nursery, and had a litter of four: Wildkit, Popkit, Wheatkit, and Drizzlekit. Robinpine adored motherhood.

Which made it all the more devastating when Wheatkit and Drizzlekit caught kittencough at 3 moons old.

They were moved to the medicine cat den, where Fernspot worked herself near to death to save the lives of her nieces. Wheatkit succumbed to the disease within the moon, but Drizzlekit eventually recovered, her apprenticeship delayed a moon.

It took a long time for the grief over Wheatkit to subside. A very long time. Wildkit, Popkit, and Drizzlekit had become warriors (Wildcloud, Popwave, and Drizzlebeam) before Robinpine finally hit the stage of acceptance.

That finally brings us to now. Robinpine is 46 moons old while her kits are 14 moons old. Robinpine has been assigned her first apprentice, Snowpaw, Greenstar's kit. Time will tell if Robinpine's loving nature can influence Snowpaw to be less self-centered.

She looks too cool to not do a fullbody

[yarnclan]

CrystalClan Part 9!

This is a big one. Lots of kits, apprentices, pairups, prophecy progress, and *~Deputy~*Drama~*

under the cut cause long.

10th Newleaf

Shineclaw's back right leg has to be removed. It would have killed her otherwise. She feels relieved in a lot of ways. Though Spottedmint is very upset.

Orange finds a "mysterious poppy" and decides to wear it.

Egretwing travels to ShineClan to try her paw at working out some better territory rights for crystal clan. Especially with so many kits and their territory still being kind of devastated by last year's wildfire. She fails though.

Bristlekit has a little adventure outside of camp. He wandered off while spacing out and dreaming about something or other.

Dusktooth really likes Carpleg, but also doesn't want to spoil their friendship by confessing if the feelings aren't reciprocated. After all, Carpleg is kind and patient with everyone, so how can she tell... (also Jumbleclaw has a crush on Carpleg.)

Cricketspeck and Warblerfall walcome Drizzlekit and Sweetkit into the world.

Lowfeather dies saving Midnightkit, who'd been swept away in a sudden flood. The flood also weakens some of the tunnels, and Jubiemoon, Shrewclaw, and Jennypeak die in a tunnel collapse. Badgerclaw is really upset over Shrewclaw, deeply mourning their lost friend, and what could have been.

Curlkit also dies of yellowcough :<

Budmoss is becoming more and more resentul of her mother. Or is at least trying to distance herself from her. Ripplestripe has put so much preassure on her for her whole life, and now she just kinda wants to chill out. She's happy with her life and friends in the clan. She doesn't care about taking vengance for her mother for something that happened ages ago. Ripplestripe pretends to be oblivious to her child's attempts to avoid her, and does her best too keep trying to influence her, though she hates that her control is obviously slipping. Leaftalon keeps loudly telling observing how odd and hovering Ripplestripe is, even though Budmoss is a warrior.

Budmoss and Leaftalon find a former kittypet named Barleyspots, who has a good amount of herbal skills who'd like to become close with StarClan. Ripplestripe steps in and takes him to talk with the CrystalClan medicine cats. Only a few weeks after settling in, he goes missing and is later found dead at the bottom of a cliff. Goldcreek is deeply alarmed.

The weather is horribly bad this newleaf, with torrential rains that constantly threaten to flood the tunnels. Sunnykit falls into one of the flood streams and drowns before anyone can save her :< Ridgetalon and Racoonsnout's third litter wiped out, the two take long walk together to grieve.

Ridgetalon and Racoonsnout announces that they are ready to retire together, somewhat driven by the loss of their kits. They've served the clan a long time, being only apprentices when the group of founders split off from FloodClan. Thornstar preforms the ceremony with pride. But he can't help but feel depressed, and definitely kind of jealous. Ridgetalon was his apprentice all those moons ago, and he was able to retire. But his duties as leader keep Thornstar from being able to seriously consider such a thing. He wished Roachfoot were still alive so that he might ask for her counsel, as she'd been a leader who'd given up on the position. Further more, Shineclaw was probably not long from retirement herself. Whome ever he picked to be deputy after her would likely become leader soon enough. And it would be best to allow that cat to have time to get used to the position.

Against all odds, and probably thanks to Orange, Jumbleclaw's broken back is healed. The young cat is extremely grateful. Orange is a bit weird about the whole thing. Acting more surprised than anything. He asks Jumbleclaw to gather herbs with him, and he agrees, wanting to repay him. Orange confronts Jumbleclaw about his stormcalling abilities, not fully reveling, but alluding to his own abilities, and past with Jumbleclaw's father. Orange tells him that it seems likely that his power was the reason for the fire that killed many and devastated the territory. Jumbleclaw is horrified, saying he had no intention of doing anything like that. Orange explains that when he was younger he too would often use his powers without meaning to, and the consequences could be devastating. He offers to help Jumbleclaw learn to control his powers. Something Orange absolutely totally knows how to do. mhm. yep. Jumbleclaw agrees...

Meanwhile, Apricot and Goldcreek keep desperately trying to convince Goosetooth that Orange is up to something, though they aren't sure what. Goosetooth is hesitant, he revels he frequently dreams of Orange giving advice and words from the future. But he's starting to come around. Though they are interrupted by the sound of a queen and her kit, Chasingegg, and Emberkit. She is hostel to Jumbleclaw when taken back to camp, as she'd come from the same clan as him, the clan that was taken over by his father. She revels that Jumble, her, and a few other cats, been part of a rebellion plan, but he had run away in cowardice. The rebellion failed and life in the clan grew worse and worse. Chasingegg couldn't stand the thought of letting her kits grow up in such a place. Unfortunately Emberkit is the only one to survive the escape and journey. Ripplestripe, also from the falling clan didn't know Jumbleclaw very well as he'd been born not too long before her fleeing. But she does know Chasingegg and is surprised to see her, as she'd always seemed rather close with the rouges…. Basically, despite having similar trauma and origins, none of the cats from the clan that was taken over, which Im just going to call FallenClan, trust or respect each other.

10th Greenleaf

Berrylight and Hazelholly's kits are apprenticed.

Bristlepaw is kinda difficult to get through to, having been very spacey and unfocused since he was a kit. He'll certainly be a test for Lightpelt, his mentor, but one that she's prepared for. He has a lot of gumption and a strong desire to serve his clan, so she knows he'll make a great warrior someday.

Chasingpaw is apprenticed to the thoughtful and kindhearted Newtflash. Who's sure to help nurture her continuing sense of responsibility and loyalty.

Shineclaw, wanting to prove she still has the same skill she always did, asks Thornstar if she can mentor one of the kits. He obliges, pairing her with Midnightpaw, who is rather cautious and reserved.

A moon later, Forestpool and Gustclaw's kits join them

Pinepaw tends to prefer being in the background. He's apprenticed to Raggedback who could be a good fit, despite her odd ways.

Snappaw is apprenticed to Dusktooth. As a kit he was quite outgoing, a sharp contrast to his brother. But being in the middle of such a crowded nursery, necessitated developing a little bit of tact. He's always quite reasonable and makes a good match with Dusktooth.

Dusktooth is so happy to have an apprentice of her own, after Lightpelt had received her second one, before she'd gotten her first. She is doubly pleased when Carpleg expresses how happy and proud of her she is. Dusktooth finally gathers up her courage to express the depth of her feelings for Carpleg, who seems surprised but very pleased! They'd both been unsure about making the first move, not wanting to overstep. But the two happily become mates.

Glowberry announces that she's expecting kits. Gustclaw shakes her head judgmentally.

10th Leaf-fall

Leaf-fall arrives, but the weather stays scorching hot, and the torrents of rain from newleaf were replaced by a lasting drought. Many cats get heat exhaustion, Russetrain tragically dying to it.

A strange loner appears and leaves kits to the clan. Lightpelt claims them as her own, having long wished to be a parent. Rumors abound that they are Lightpelt's by birth, the she had with an outsider. The kits are named Mintkit and Peatkit.

Emberpaw is determined to prove her worth. She also knows what she wants, a strong teacher, who'll train her hard and can help her become strong. She identifies Fishfalcon as that cat, and asks, during her ceremony, that she be made her mentor. Thornstar, extremely amused, agrees.

Lightstrike and Badgerclaw become mates, the two serving as each other's rocks through all their loss and trauma.

Despite her skill with mediating her clanmates Egretwing kinda sucks at mediating disputes between clans... She's failed like three times in the past year..

Glowberry and Pansypetal welcome Hopkit and Marigoldkit into the world.

Berrylight and Lightstrike gonna be having litters as well. Too many kits you guys...

Leaftalon and Budmoss become mates as well.

Warblerfall gets whitecough, and watches from afar as his kits are made apprentices.

Drizzlepaw asks if she can become Rosypelt's apprentice, and train to be a mediator. Rosypelt is very happy to have a chance to train another cat.

Sweetpaw kinda wishes he too could have a job outside of being a warrior, and is both annoyed and jealous of his sister. Cloudfeather, his mentor, is very supportive and tries to help him through these feelings.

Hazelholly, while trying to catch a vole, is picked up and dropped by and eagle. He survives, somehow, but has multiple broken bones.

Bristlepaw drives off a dog by himself while on a patrol with Lightpelt, Midnightpaw, Emberpaw, Shineclaw and Thornstar. She is very proud of him. Thornstar is very proud of his daughter for being such a good mentor.

Spottedmint decides to retire, though he still often helps out in the medicine cat den.

Midnightpaw, Chasingpaw, and Bristlepaw are made a warriors. Midnightheart learned a lot from Shineclaw, mainly combat skills. She's a talented strategist, and prefers to plan ahead before fighting. Newtflash helped Chasingturtle develop the same sorts of communication skills that have helped her manage her similarly kindhearted and generous nature. Lightpelt was a through teacher, and Bristlepoppy managed to become an excellent hunter. And a faithful warrior.

Shineclaw finishes out Midnightpaw's training. But it's put a lot of things into perspective or her. She's older now, she's finding it more difficult to keep up with younger cats. And given that the cat she loves most, Spottedmint has retired, she goes to Thornstar, and expresses her desire to retire. She can see the jelousy he tries to hide. And knows she's getting what he would have wanted more than anything.

It take Thornstar a good while to decide on a new deputy. Many cats expect him to pick a respected senior warrior, like Tulipnose, Vineshell, or Cricketspeck. It is to the shock of many when he announces his choice. Lightpelt, his own daughter, will be the next deputy of CrystalClan. She herself is quite suprised. She had her fair share of ambitions, but didn't quite expect this.

Orange and Ripplestripe become mates, but keep it secret.

11th Leafbare

Mintpaw and Peatpaw, Lightpelt's "adopted" kits are both apprenticed, right in time for her to begin her deputy duties in earnest. Mintpaw is apprenticed to Forestpool, and she couldn't be happier. She's got a deep respect for the warrior code, even with her young age, and she's thrilled to be apprenticed to someone as smart and wise as Forestpool. Peatpaw is very pleased her mother was made deputy. And has high ambitions of her own. Her mentor Pansypetal might not be capable of keeping up with her… but he's sure gonna try.

Berrylight and Hazelholly's second litter has just one kit, a little golden-furred kit they name Basskit. Hazelholly is still recovering and is sad he won't get to play as active a role in this single kit's upbringing as Bristle, Midnight, and Chasing. Basskit isn't alone for long though, as Lightstrike and Badgerclaw welcome Shrewkit, Honeykit and Conekit into the nursery as well.

Egretwing and Fringepelt become mates. He makes Egretwing feel better and less stressed about her failures.

Goldcreek and Goosetooth, having served as medicine cats along side each other for a long time, and both sharing prophetic sight, become mates. Goosetooth confesses in the process of explaining that he absolutely trusts Goldcreek more than Orange.

Whitecough spreads around camp, soon almost half the clan have been infected, including Orange and Goosetooth. Orange bounces back pretty quickly, but Goosetooth less so. Spottedmint, remembering all those moons ago, when he'd struggled during an outbreak before Goosetooth joined the clan to help, comes out of retirement to help. Unfortunatly Plumflake succumbs, having had the illness multiple times in the past and being weakened by it. Cricketspeck is quite distraught over the loss of her brother, they'd had their difficulties, and never quite got past them...

Emberpaw, Drizzlepaw, Sweetpaw, and Peatpaw sneak out of camp. Peatpaw invites Mintpaw but she refuses. They manage to cross the thunderpath by themselves, and have quite a fun adventure. But Mintpaw tells Forestpool and Lightpelt. The parents and mentors of the group are quite cross, mostly. Rosypelt is glad Drizzlepaw is doing some "normal apprentice things" and Lightpelt can't be too harsh on them, given that she'd done the same thing in the past. The others are pretty mad at Mintpaw for tattling, especially her sister Peatpaw. And start leaving her out. It upsets her but she tries to not show it.

Martenshine announces she and Tulipnose are expecting their second litter.

Dusktooth announces that she and Carpleg are expecting their first litter.

Newtflash comes out as nonbinary!

Pinefreckle is made a warrior ahead of Snappaw, his brother. He's always been an odd cat, and it remains true that he prefers working solo, but Raggedback helped nurture his intellect.

Emberpaw has an odd dream. A field of orange stars shining beneath her feet. They grow, and spread, connecting and burning a hole in the ground. She sees the paws of another cat before waking with a start. She tells Sweetpaw and Peatpaw, who don't think much of it. Mintpaw does take her seriously and recommends that she talks to one of the medicine cats. But they've been so busy with the many cases of whitecough that she doesn't think it's a good time...

Drizzlepaw wonders if she'd made the right choice. She's loved learning from Rosypelt, but she'd had a blast on her escapade with the other apprentices. And the most fun she has being a mediator, is when they get to travel to other clans. She goes to Rosypelt, and asks if it's too late for her to be reassigned. Rosypelt says it's never too late to change. And Drizzlepaw is reapprenticed to Stonewisker. The older warrior swearing to help Drizzlepaw catch up. Sweetpaw, taking advantage of this situation, expresses her long held secret wish, to be a mediator apprentice. And Rosypelt, amused, agrees to be his mentor.

LightningClan Moon 53-

Moon 53

A loner dropped her kits off with the Clan, and Weedshade decided to take on caring for them. Their names are Sagekit and Voidkit.

Cypresstuft's tail was badly injured by a dog.

An injured kittypet was found by the thunderpath. Though Lightningstar is still wary of cats from outside the Clan, Bugdapple convinced him to let her take care of the cat. Her name is currently Bonbon, and if Lightningstar ultimately decides to allow her to join the Clan fully, she will get a warrior name after she heals up.

Moon 54

Finally, an uninteresting moon. The Clan is breathing a sigh of relief.

Moon 55

Lizardleap brought a rogue named Wild to the Clan, but, still suspicious, Lightningstar drove Wild away from Camp.

Aspenpaw is now Aspenfur!

Primrosepaw was stolen by twolegs!

Moon 56

Snailstripe now wears a rainbow collar!

Additionally, I have decided that every cat who is taken by twolegs from now on (including those that disappear and reappear with items only a twoleg could have given them and those that are already lost) have a chance of being part of a TNR program.

So the cats who are no longer able to have kits as a result of this are...

Snailstripe, Blazetail, Fogstripe, Radar, and Spam

Heatherwish is expecting kits! Presumably with her mate, Palefern.

Sagekit is now Sagepaw apprenticed to Jaggedfeather, and Voidkit is now Voidpaw, apprenticed to Bugdapple. Because of this, Firefur can now return to warrior duties.

Sagepaw:

Voidpaw:

Moon 57

Hornetstorm is expecting kits! Presumably with her mate, Firefur (who is lending experience in the medicine den, but not actually a medicine cat in the way where kits and mates aren't allowed)

However... Firefur as well as Toadclaw were killed in a BearClan raid.

Skyclaw died fighting a large dog.

Moon 58

Flutterwhisker has yellowcough

Jaggedfeather has greencough

Bonbon's head damage is better, but... Bonbon now has greencough

Icekit is now Icepaw apprenticed to Puddlestrike, Dustkit is now Dustpaw apprenticed to Weedshade, and Claykit is now Claypaw apprenticed to Lizardleap.

Heatherwish and Palefern welcomed their two kits into the Clan. The kits are Cloudkit and Lightkit!

An abandoned kit was found and brought back to the Clan, and she has been named Frostkit!

Moon 59

Hornetstorm gave birth to her kits with Firefur. Their names are Houndkit and Emberkit. She is heartbroken looking at Emberkit, as she feels that he looks so much like Firefur, and that is what he was named in reference to.

Moon 60

Bonbon is healed, but Lightningstar's anxieties about outsiders is resulting in him being sent away now that he is well enough.

Additionally, we've hit the end of the fourth year of LightningClan, which means it's time for me to go through and check whether any new pairings have come up!

Okay we now have Eaglestorm/Weedshade!

Moon 61

Blazetail has died without ever making it back to the Clan.

Hornetstorm has an infection from giving birth.

Greyminnow is pregnant, presumably with her mate Gorsedapple's kits!

Frostkit is now Frostpaw, apprenticed to Snailstripe!

Dustpaw now identifies as nonbinary. Good for them!

A loner with redcough named Sam is taken into the Clan to heal. If she survives, she may have the opportunity to become a part of the Clan, depending on Lightningstar's feelings on the matter.

Frostpaw:

Moon 62

Puddlestrike's tail was injured by a fox.

Claypaw was attacked by an eagle. He survived, but will be scarred for life.

Sagepaw has been promoted to being Sagepetal!

Moon 63

Voidpaw is now a full medicine cat named Voidfall!

Greyminnow and Gorsedapple had a litter of three kits! Peakkit, Drizzlekit, and Marshkit.

Palefern died in a fight against a dog.

Moon 64

Aspenfur had four kits, but is refusing to talk about where they come from. They are Sparrowkit, Asterkit, Mothkit, and Streamkit

Claypaw died from an infected claw wound

Cloudpaw and Lightpaw:

Dustpaw's tail was injured in a dispute with BearClan

Sotana, a kittypet with redcough, has joined the Clan to be healed. If she lives she may be allowed to take on a Clan name.

Moon 65

Puddlestrike's injured tail is healed but scarred.

Meanwhile, Dustpaw died from the tail wounds.

Icepaw is now a full warrior named Iceclaw!

Houndkit is now Houdpaw apprenticed to Lizardleap and Emberkit is now Emberpaw apprenticed to Puddlestrike.

Gorsedapple has retired to the elders den.

For Her Kits (short story)

Birchtuft’s body jerked back upright, but his eyes were still fluttering. How did warriors do this? 

Earlier–yesterday? It was hard to say how late it had gotten since he earned his warrior name. Now, he had to sit vigil just outside the Shadowclan camp. Which meant he had to stay up all night. Without a word. 

He felt a flash of anger thrill through him. He and his littermates, Spottedwasp and Turtlestripe, would have been made warriors together if he hadn’t been held back in his training for a moon as punishment for bringing prey to kittypets to show them how great it was to live as a wild cat. It was stupid obviously, but they had been young, and Birchpaw decided to take full responsibility, leaving his brother and sister out of the story and allowing them to hop away unscathed. How he regretted that now.

At least the anger kept him awake, even if it did make him sound like a kit. Warriors didn’t do that, wailing against the unfairness of simple things. 

He smiled to himself when he could almost hear the sound of a kit wailing. He really must be getting tired. But the sound didn’t go away, only increased, and his eyes shot open.

A kit was in danger!

He glanced back into the camp walls, but there might not be time to get help. Besides, he was a warrior now, and wasn’t it his duty as the one sitting vigil to protect others?

He raced away, zigzagging through the pines, stopping to angle his ears and follow the sound again every so often so that he wouldn’t get lost.

He skidded to a stop on the pebbly shore, small rocks sent flying by his rapid paws. He looked around wildly, but couldn’t see anything. The wail sounded again, and with a beating heart, he saw a tiny, bulging-eyed kit in the middle of the lake, little, twig-sized legs flailing.

Birchtuft wasted no time. Running along the Half-bridge, he leaped from the height it gave him and into the water. As he sank in to his neck, water sucking at his skin and fur, every instinct told him to turn back around and shake it all from his pelt. But he kicked forward, shivering at the cold. Closer…closer… 

His legs began to ache, he slowed, catching his breath. But nearer now, he could see the kit more clearly– how her throat strained to scream for help louder, how her paws, so, so small, reached desperately for him. He propelled forward. Rest could wait. 

He was just within reaching distance of the kit when she fell beneath the surface. Heart racing, Birchtuft took a breath and dived in after her.

Interlaced with his blind panic was the expectation of black nothingness, of his ears being clogged and his eyes blinded, hearing and feeling but the bubbly air blocking out everything else. Instead, as he dived in it was as though he were leaping from the ground. A ground that was muddy, dried blood sucking–no, gripping at his fur like clawed tendrils. The sky was a dark red, like a sunset promising to be the last time day would ever be seen. And it was still while exiting the water-mud, front legs stretched forward to grab the kit that had just earlier been beneath him–was he grabbed and slammed into the ground.

—-------------

Hootpetal bent down to lick her daughter between the ears. “You did good, honey.”

Hootpetal and her poly knew what had to be done in order to feed their kits. She had hoped not to target someone so young, but they were most vulnerable, and weak enough not to harm Drizzlekit, should he have realized what was going on. Too, Hootpetal felt a twinge in her stomach at the knowledge that her kits would eat another cat. Myrtlewing and Alderstar had taken that step plenty of times in the past, but never Hootpetal. She had ended all dark and twisted things she had done in her grief for Alderstar now that she was here with him. It was for her kits–the kits that they had together–that she was doing this at all.

She suspected that Grousemane wasn’t so comfortable either, or at least he wasn’t excited like Alderstar appeared to be. The grey-spotted tom hung back, keeping only one eye on the commotion in case anything went wrong, though Hootpetal doubted that the three of them wouldn’t be able to handle the small tom. 

Treekit sat between his paws, complaining that he wanted to lure Birchtuft away, too. He had only been left out because he was still finding it difficult to walk while his unusual weight dragged him down.

They were silent but Birchtuft’s rapid, semi-comprehensible questions as his face was mashed against the floor, and Drizzlekit’s annoyed responses for him to shut up.

Then Myrtlewing stepped from the trees, a rotting flower dripping from his mouth. “‘Op’uee ‘is works,” he mumbled through them. Padding up to the young tom’s face, he waited for him to open his mouth again–which was about a split-second–and stuffed the flowers down. 

“You sure you got the right one?” Hootpetal asked him. She didn’t want to go through all this trouble just for a bite.

“Flea and Fading both confirmed it.”

“Do they know what we want it for?”

Myrtlewing made what could be mistaken for a shy smile, for anyone that didn’t know him. “Decided it best not to. Didn’t want them trying to stop us.” 

Hootpetal dipped her head. They couldn’t know for certain if the flower would make Birchtuft sleep long enough for her kits to eat a good portion before he woke up and faded from the Dark Forest, but it was better than nothing. 

It was for her kits, she told herself as they leapt all too eagerly forward, as the air filled with their chewing and Birchtuft’s screams of pain. As Alderstar held him down by the neck with his jaws while holding his legs in place with his own, eyes shining brightly. Myrtlewing helped him, holding the back legs in place and practically hopping happily on his own, giving the kits tips on the best places to bite and rip.

It was for them, she told herself as blood sprayed across the clearing and onto her brown pelt. As her kits mewled with delight. And in that final sound, of their happiness and the knowledge that their bellies would be filling, she relaxed.

================================

--Hootpetal, while a deranged killer, isn’t as comfortable with this whole thing. She only killed because grief pushed her to it, and only killed those around her age (because they were mates). And she never resorted to cannibalism. 

She’s probably not as uncomfortable as a normal human (cat) would be, but DEFINITELY not as at-home as Myrtle and Alder likely are.

And Grousemane came from Starclan, so yeah the two aren’t exactly jumping for joy at this whole deal.

--Birchtuft probably did wake up pretty soon, but would die before he could say anything to his Clan. They found him where he was sitting vigil, the wounds on his body and no new scents or anything disturbing the grass.

--Birchtuft fell asleep where he was sitting vigil. The whole running to the lake thing was a dream, so Drizzle was never in any actual danger.
