Story:

Novice and Gray's life was as happy as could be. They were two lovebirds, prancing around Clan borders with seemingly no care. The Clan cats were friendly and mostly left them alone, so why should they meddle in their business? 

That was, as many stories go, until one day. A Shadowclan patrol attacked the two. Novice fought them off bravely, but not after they left Gray with major injuries. Gray was out cold, and Novice knew that the Clans could no longer be trusted. He took his mate back to their own little corner of the forest. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know what herbs did what!

He improvised, covering the injuries with leaves, as a sort-of cobweb binding. One night, while he was resting with Gray, a cat found their way to him. A Shadowclan cat named Darksun. Darksun had a scarring wound across his chest, which Novice recognised as being caused by him. Darksun said he was impressed with his violence during the fight, and offered him a deal. 

He'd deliver cobwebs to Gray and Novice, if Novice helped him, for lack of better words, dispatch a cat. He gave a description, "brown with black stripes, white dash on forehead, blue eyes, and scars on his paws. Named Umberleaf. Has a habit of being alone at night." 

Novice hesitated, but decided to go for it. He used a fake name, Kick, as he was uncomfortable giving his real one, and Gray was asleep just out of earshot.

He snuck onto Shadowclan territory, and lo and behold, Umberleaf was there. Without thinking, Novice leapt towards Umberleaf, holding his head down on a rock, and slamming his paw down on the brown tabby's neck. It was a quiet way to kill, and Umberleaf died instantly. He walked away, not sure what to do with the body, and waited for Darksun's return.

The mysterious tom returned the next day with cobwebs, which Novice used to bind up Gray's wounds. He learned quickly that word spread fast in the Clans, and soon he was approached by a Thunderclan warrior, Caveeyes, while hunting.

"Mimicfur, black with creepy white markings on her face, can't miss 'em. Usually alone around... I'd say sunrise?"

"How many cobwebs?"

"Ohhh, if you get rid of that freak I'll raid the medicine den for all I can find. Thanks for the... help, Blackthroat."

And so, next sunrise, Mimicfur's neck was broken, and he was paid a bounty of cobwebs.

Gray was starting to recover, but still needed one more haul of cobwebs. Luckily, a very lucky small white she-cat approached him next. Her surprisingly haunting voice had a simple request.

"Rainback. Blue pelt. Gone. Now."

"How many cobwebs?"

"Two full bundles. Kill him."

He tracked down the lanky blue-furred tom, who was hunting by the river. He hopped up in a tree, as there were no rocks or other elevated surfaced nearby, and pounced. Rainback's spine snapped like a twig.

"Thank you, Treepelt. Cobwebs. As promised."

And so, with no more requests to worry about, he rested easy after replacing Gray's cobwebs. His mate would heal, and life would go back to normal...

Or so he thought.

“Murderer! You’re a murderer, Novice!”

HMS Excellent, 108 Guns, 1834–1835 (Art UK). The former first-rate line of battle ship served as a gunnery training school for decades of Royal Navy midshipmen.

Like his eighteenth-century counterpart, the early Victorian naval instructor does not seem to have featured prominently in the histories of the period, although he occasionally appears in biographies and memoirs and is invariably remembered with affection. Commodore J G Goodenough was taught by Naval Instructor William Johnstone, 'a man of cultivation and ability who possessed the rare talent of not only teaching well but of inspiring his pupils with interest in and liking for their studies'. Admiral John Moresby related brief details of his studies on board the gunnery ship HMS Excellent in 1849 where, 'under the poop was the mathematical study for all officers and here a menagerie of diverse pupils confronted dear old Stark, our Scottish instructor'. He also served in HMS Caledonia under the tuition of 'the most lovable of naval instructors' Michael Rainback, a man much admired and teased by his pupils and 'who might have served Dickens for the original of Mr Pickwick'.

— H. W. Dickinson, Educating the Royal Navy: Eighteenth- and Nineteenth-Century Education for Officers

HMS Caledonia (1808) in two positions, by William Innes Pocock (NMM). This first-rate ship also had a secondary career, renamed Dreadnought and converted to a hospital ship in 1856.

Spring Spillage

The day had gone from rainback to bright and dry again,and so we ventured out. So many hues among the greenof fresh new buds and leafy sheen,it made me want to shout out loud, when suddenly the firstbutterfly seemed to burstout of a leafy cloud, not primrose or even daffodil,but the colour of an accidental spillfrom Vincent’s palette. A flash of wings so brightit seemed that yellow had taken…

I step off the train I'm walkin' down your street again And past your door but you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there And now you've disappeared somewhere Like outer space you've found some better placeAnd I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, oh Like the deserts miss the rainCould you be dead? You always were two steps ahead of everyone We'd walk behind while you would run I look up at your house and I can almost hear you shout Down to me where I always used to beAnd I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you Like the deserts miss the rainBack on the train I ask why did I come again Can I confess I've been hangin' 'round your old address? And the years have proved to offer nothin' since you moved You're long gone but I can't move onAnd I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rainAnd I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rain Oh, I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rainI step off the train I'm walkin' down your street again Past your door, I guess you don't live there anymore It's years since you've been there And now you've disappeared somewhere Like outer space you've found some better placeAnd I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rainAnd I miss you, and I miss you Like the deserts miss the rain And I miss you, yeah Like the deserts miss the rainDeserts miss the rain Like the deserts miss the rain Like the deserts miss the rain Like the deserts miss the rain

Victim Profile: light pelted apprentices and warriors, ginger kits

Cause of Death: age-related complications

Cautionary Tale: ??

Story:

If Downstar had planted the seeds of poison in Darkclan, it was Smokestar who truly cared for them.

He had been the mate of the bloodthirsty first leader, and her philosophy had infected him. But he took things further.

He had just completed his first sacrifice when he saw a litter of kits playing nearby, and got a truly inspired idea. If apprentices, warriors, and elders every ten moons would give him power, then what would a red kit every two moons give him?

He decided to find out.

From that day on, parents of Darkclan lived in fear, praying to the Dark Forest to save their kits, praying that their kits wouldn’t be born red.

Some cats tried to get rid of Smokestar by poisoning him, but that only took away three of his lives.

Nursing queens covered the ginger patches of their kittens with mud or ash in an attempt to fool the leader, but this only worked for one, whose mother faithfully covered her with ash every day, until her warrior ceremony. It was after this that he truly lost his mind.

He moved from the warriors’ den to the nursery, staring at expectant mothers as they got ready to kit. He also continued sacrificing warriors and apprentices to the Dark Forest, getting bolder with age. In his greatly advanced age, much to his despair, he began to lose lives simply from his body failing him. Panicking, he began to make more regular sacrifices, desperate not to lose any power.

Ultimately though, he could not win the battle against age.

Additional Information:

--Submission by @ambitiousauthor

--He lost three lives to poisoning.

--Four more lives were lost to old age.

--Most of the kits he killed were newborns.

--His successor was Droughtstar, who lost two siblings thanks to him.
