Moon Nine

Owlclaw and Dovecurl have made up for the most part, and enjoy comparing scars they both received from dogs.

Eggspot's litter has become apprentices, with Brownpaw being mentored by Dovecurl, Pigeonpaw being mentored by Hawkstar, and Featherpaw surprisingly choosing to become a mediator apprentice under Rivershade. Hawkstar agrees, and Featherpaw's role is changed.

Rivershade, Featherpaw Brownpaw, Pigeonpaw Rivershade was a former Riverclan cat with a Shadowclan father. They never felt as if the clan accepted them, and after their former leader gave them the name 'Rivershade' reminding them of their half clan heritage, Rivershade ran away, becoming a loner for a few moons. When rumors of a group of clan cats leaving the lake guided by a hawk reached Rivershade, he followed them, his dreams also haunted by strange birds.

Moon Twentysix

Newleaf - 20 cats

Owlclaw and Dustpeak are attacked by dogs in the territory, and both are badly injured. Buzzard and Pikeriver are optimistic about their recovery, but Hawkstar still needs to deal with the stray dogs.

Flightstorm approaches Hawkstar and asks if Talonpaw can take their exam a little early. He's making incredible progress and Flightstorm believes he's ready to become a warrior. Talonpaw passes the exam with flying colors and gains the name Talonsmoke.

Moon Six

Owlclaw is finally a warrior- Thank Starclan they don't have to share the apprentice den with Goldpaw and Sparrowpaw, who keep Owlpaw up till moonhigh with their questions about the five clans and the warrior code. The apprentice’s enthusiasm is adorable, but Owlpaw doesn’t like a reminder that he’s becoming quite old for an apprentice. Owlpaw’s wounds from the dog still linger, but the moment Pikeriver said he could take his exam, he begged Hawkstar to let him.

The exam went well, and Owlpaw caught multiple impressive pieces of prey. Hawkstar, proud of her apprentice’s growth, gives him the name Owlclaw.

Moon Twenty-one

Hawkstar finally feels ready to move into the nursery- She's very nervous to have to give up her duties while she rests, but her faith in Lightsmoke is very strong. She spends most of her day resting in the entrance of the nursery, watching the clan go about their day, filled with pride of how far they've gotten. She knows her kits will be safe and loved in her new clan, and she can't wait to meet them. Her restfulness has made her restless, and she plays a silly prank on Nightfern, pretending that the new warrior is part fox and convincing Pikeriver to play along, if only for a few minutes. Nightfern appreciated how playful her older leader can be. Talonkit is made into Talonpaw and is apprenticed to Pigeonwhisker. He's a little shy during the ceremony, keenly aware he has no kin in the clan, but the clan welcomes him with prideful yowns of Talonpaw. The clan is all about survival, and Talonpaw survived to join their ranks.

Talonpaw and Pigeonwhisker Pigeonwhisker and Talonpaw go on their first training patrol together, and during their tour of the territory come across what might be a currently inhabited badger set. Talonpaw suggests covering the entrance with rocks and coming back tomorrow to see if a badger has cleared the entrance. Pigeonwhisker is impressed with their creative idea, and they work together to dismantle the entrance to the set. Owlclaw and Goldsnap go hunting together, and end up bringing in an impressive amount of freshkill together.

Moon Ten

Pikeriver comes down with yellowcough, and Owlclaw steps forward to take care of them. Realizing that the clan only has one medicine cat, Hawkstar keeps close eye on the apprentices for signs of interest in herbs. However, he doesn't need to, as an old pale cat named Buzzard shows up in the territory, offering their healing skills in order for shelter and food. Hawkstar almost can't believe her luck, and Buzzard joins as a (very old) medicine cat apprentice.
