Several shadowy figures appear...

One gives Jasminedream a life for confidence, another gives her a life for bravery.

Another one gives her a life for authority, and yet another one a life for certainty.

Dancingmask is pregnant again!

Frostpaw finds the way Currentpaw is acting increasingly uncomfortable.

Dancingmask gives Currentpaw bitter herbs on purpose, hoping that the Dark Forest will leave him alone...

Echopaw wonders how Currentpaw is doing.

Jasminestar is questioning her ability to lead...

As Jasminestar and Currentpaw trudge through the snow, Jasminestar spots a wolf pack round a kill in the distant valley below and calls Currentpaw over. It's a good opportunity to observe the dangerous predators from afar. Currentpaw is surprised to watch them play, taking turns chasing and running from each other in a way that reminds him of the games he plays with Frostpaw and Echopaw.

Previous - Next (Moon 3)

(I'll go ahead and say that yes the fox in Hemlockpaw's flashback was rabid, but the one that bit Umberstar wasn't. Rabies is part of the clan's backstory, but not its future. You don't need to worry about any Phloxclan cats, other nearby clans, rogues, loners, etc. getting it. Of course, that doesn't mean the cats won't worry about it.)

[starlit-skies-rpg]

Read about the roleplay here!

Here are the events that have happened within leaf-bare!

☾ — Beekit, Lizardkit, Sorrelkit, and Thistlekit of CedarClan have become apprentices, with Applestem, Palefrost, Jackdawbug, and Weaselwatcher as their mentors.

☾ — Hemlockpaw of CedarClan has become a warrior, now known as Hemlockgale!

☾ — Berrykit, Cherrykit, and Hollykit of HollowClan have become apprentices, with Lilyroot, Burningdove, and Bugrush as their mentors.

☾ — Scarletpaw and Thrushpaw of HollowClan have become warriors, now known as Scarletdusk and Thrushbriar!

☾ — Featherkit of EmberClan has become an apprentice, with Elmstrider as their mentor.

☾ — Grasspaw, Kestrelpaw, and Smallpaw of EmberClan have become warriors, now known as Grassheron, Kestrelfern, and Smallsparrow!

☾ — Hawkthorn is under close watch by Tinystar to ensure he is worthy of trust within the Clan. She assigns him a new apprentice to finish off their training, but ensures that he will not be given much freedom otherwise.

☾ — Some of the elders within HollowClan are growing more critical of Fogstar’s leadership and the passing of Spiderstar, and begin to speak with other cats—including Spiderstar’s granddaughter—in order to discuss their next moves.

☾ — Fallowdust is caught up in a scandal with Cloverdove when she blackmails him into getting deathberries to poison the healer apprentice, Duskpaw. He agrees, and intends to expose Cloverdove, but she instead frames him for the act and Straystar reluctantly exiles him from EmberClan. Following this, Fallowdust forms a group of outsiders among the Twolegplace consisting of other loners, rogues, and former kittypets, with their numbers slowly increasing.

[stalagmite-clan]

New Clan!! GlimmeringClan -- Moon 2

"Think we're an awful bit too young for some 'Clan' nonsense," Shrewbramble muttered as he shouldered his way through the undergrowth of the forest. Up ahead, Hemlockpaw and Fallingpaw squealed as they dashed around the trees, pouncing on each other and playfully swiping at each other's tails.

Toadstar purred, amused. "You're a bit too old to say that, Shrewbramble," she meowed, watching their apprentices wrestle. To Fallingpaw, she called out, "Fallingpaw, make sure to tuck your hind legs in!"

At the same time, Shrewbramble growled, "Stop playing, you're going to hurt yourselves."

The two apprentices paused briefly, then decided to listen to Toadstar's advice instead. Fallingpaw bunched himself up, tucking his legs in so much that, given his spotted brown fur, he resembled an oddly-spherical pinecone. He leapt at Hemlockpaw with minimal success, who immediately bowled him over with his larger size.

Shrewbramble shot Toadstar a grumpy look.

"More kits and 'paws than warriors," he meowed gruffly as he and the leader continued walking towards the Clawing Woods, where the undergrowth was sparse and the trees were taller than anything Toadstar had ever seen. The apprentices followed at a much slower pace, given that they were busy trying to nip each other's ears. "In fact, we barely have a warrior now, and only because you let Moonbird graduate a moon early."

"Moonbird has shown great skill since the moment I saw him," Toadstar said, confidently. Indeed, the young warrior held a massive amount of potential, seeming to naturally understand the wilderness despite his age or the fact that he'd lived inside as a housecat his entire life.

Truthfully, Toadstar had decided to persuade him to join GlimmeringClan out of the distant hope that he would choose to be a medicine cat. Somehow, he was much more connected with StarClan than any other cat Toadstar had met, including herself, even though it was she that StarClan had chosen to revive the living of Clan cats in the wild.

However, even she had to admit that Moonbird's natural intuition made him a just as valuable warrior. Besides, Hopescratch was an excellent medicine cat, and Toadstar could not imagine GlimmeringClan without her medicinal services.

"It doesn't change that fact that you're rather young yourself," Shrewbramble meowed. "Our camp is guarded by an old bag of bones who might've once been good at swimming-"

Toadstar scoffed at Shrewbramble's description of Hopescratch's impressive feats as a younger cat. The entire city had tingled with whispers about her skills when Toadstar and Shrewbramble visited to recruit more cats, even if the elder was getting to the age where her muscles weren't what they quite used to be.

"-a deputy who's about the same age-"

"Oh, you're still limber enough. I heard about that squirrel you caught yesterday. Hemlockpaw's been bragging about you for days."

"-a warrior who's still wet behind the ears," Shrewbramble persisted, ignoring Toadstar's interruptions, "two apprentices who would be easy prey for even the smallest of hawks, and four kits who would still drink milk if they could."

"They're old enough to eat solid prey," Toadstar pointed out.

"Oh, that fixes everything, then."

"For the Clans!" Hemlockpaw suddenly yowled as he scrambled up a tree stump and used the height to pounce on Fallingpaw.

The younger apprentice darted out of the way, sending Hemlockpaw tumbling over himself, directly into a bush, where a branch snagged itself on his fur.

"Ouch!" he yelped, struggling to pull himself free. Then he began to wail, "Shrewbramble! Help!"

"Youth," the deputy snarled quietly, marching over to free his apprentice. Toadstar watched and purred loudly.

[torrentclan-clangen-story]

Branch and moss (Moon 6)

Ivystar climbs onto the Root stone.

"Applepaw, you and Hemlockpaw come on up please."

He guides her up. Despite her much larger size, her weak, injured leg, combined with missing an entire other leg, well it made it very difficult for her to stand much less walk. Applepaw was the only one she allowed to help her. Her siblings, Hollypaw especially, were strong but Applepaw was larger and sturdier.

"I, Ivystar, leader of Torrentclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Do you two promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your lives?"

Applepaw beams, happy to accept alongside Hemlockpaw. "I promise." He purrs, tail looping with hers.

She smiles. "So do I."

"Then you two will be known as Applebranch and Hemlockmoss respectively."

"Hollypaw, come on up."

He obeys. A stoic expression on his face.

"I, Ivystar, leader of Torrentclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"Yes."

"Then you will be known as Hollyeye."

"Laurelpaw, come up."

She does so nervously.

"I, Ivystar, leader of Torrentclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"Ye-yes. I Promise."

"Then you will be called Laurelsnow."

"Tinykit, come up."

He scurries up. Ivystar smiles. He was still small, but he has filled out nicely. Fur glossy, and bones nicely covered.

"You will be known as Tinypaw, and you will be mentored by Sunwave."

He comes up and they touch noses.

Hollyeye has been sneaking around lately..

[clangenwritingexperiment]

Moon 75

Freezespots had to hide. They could tell that the kits were coming but they knew that they could absolutely not do anything about it in camp so they carefully pranced out of the camp in the early morning with the excuse of going out early to gather herbs. They knew the perfect spot. They picked it out weeks ago. They prepared it with moss and all the herbs they could need. All they had to do now was the hard part.

Frostfreckle noticed Freezespots absence immediately. How could they not notice that their secret mate was missing? They had been acting extremely off the past two moons and Frostfreckle cant help but feel worried. What was happening with them? Why were they acting so squirrelly? Where were they? Why couldn't they tell their own mate what was happening...? Their warrior days might be behind them but they still have those skills engraved into their muscles so they track to the best of their ability. A strand of fur there, an unnatural scrap of herb here, some shifted sand... It took them a while longer than they would have liked to admit but they finally found Freezespots. Chewing juniper berries and gently nuzzling a single tiny kit. Their kit. Frostfreckle realizes. Their kit together. Frostfreckle pushes through the undergrowth. They can't wait to meet them.

Frostfreckle returns that day with Waterkit. Explaining that Frostfreckle and Freezespots had found the mother dead on the border with only this newborn kit still there. That Freezefreckle is giving the unknown mother a proper burial while they were tasked with bringing the kit to camp for adoption and ceremonies. That Frostfreckle will be adopting the kit as their own. No cat can know... Not even Waterkit.

Kinkblaze was poisoned by a sea creature but with Freezespot on nest rest for a 'mysterious stomach ache' and Sprucefeather still being more inexperienced and training Honeypaw they are unable to recover and succumbed to the poison.

Saltears had healed from the snake venom and bite!

Pondfrost no longer has greencough.

Songshock caught greencough.

Splashtooth brought home another single kit. Their name is Erminekit.

Ferncreek has come out as non-binary.

Clamtrail no longer feels like they are coughing up a lung.

Turtleswoop has severely injured their leg on some twoleg stuff.

Sungill is no linger ill. With yellowcough.

Conekit died of greencough.

Hyacinthpaw has entranced by the sea and did not notice the huge wave that crashed into their side and swept them out to sea.

Hopstar saved Sungill from a hawk but was injured instead.

Stempaw finally becomes Stemflake and Ploverpaw becomes Ploverspeck. Each is celebrated for their courage and perspective.

Hopstar doesn't remember the last time they had to do this many apprenticeship ceremonies at once.

Nimblepaw is given to Treeheart, Jaggedpaw is given to Oddspots, Riverpaw is given to Clamtrail, Bluepaw is given to Coalmark, Shimmerpaw is given to Splashtooth, and Sharppaw is given to Sungill.

Roarpatch attacked a bee's nest because they are annoyed by the buzzing.

Freezespots 'mysterious stomach ache' has passed.

Crookedbracken has announced that they are expecting kits!

Songshock has recovered from greencough.

Redpaw and Dazzlepaw have finally become apprentices. their mentors are Pondfrost and Duckflow.

Roarpatch had a strange reaction to the bee stings and unfortunately died.

Coalmark was bitten by a snake but survived!

Hemlockpaw is the last of their litter, other than Honeypaw, to remain alive for all this time. They grieve for their littermates and hope that they have made them proud. Hemlockpaw is named Hemlockpelt and is honored for their faithfulness.

Hawkbit and Duckflow have become mates!

[wrenclan]

WrenClan moon one

honestly not a whole lot happened this first moon (which is pretty normal)

hemlockpaw and littlestar went on a training patrol, littlestar wanted to teach hemlockpaw how to climb trees. it went really well! until hemlockpaw lost his balance and fell off the tree getting some scrapes

scorchpaw and chestnutthistle shared and swapped some prey, they got along pretty well however grayblink watched chestnutthistle take the last piece of prey and is extremely grumpy about it.

[ghostclangen]

some ghostie facts that haven't come up in the comic:

while Sherman has the strict trait, this only applies to patrols, where she's insistent on nobody fooling around. back at camp, she's actually a bit of a prankster! she's also buddies with hemlockpaw.

deerbite has a problem that you could liken to moral OCD due to his righteous trait and dark forest connection; he goes into days-long spirals whenever he finds himself there in dreams. thank god he's never developed the curse :")

deerbite has had a crush on rapidspeckle almost his entire life; this is 0% reciprocated and she actually dislikes him a little.

some meta stuff that I guess I'll put here - wolfstrike only killed fauna (instead of someone else; I did actually roll for him to kill someone) because fauna hated charredtail and I didn't want him to kill him LOL

[phloxclan]

Get booped by Phloxclan!
