Moon 0 / Founders

[emixunn]

“It’s just us now, and we can’t take any risks,”

Baywind, a young tom with his whole life ahead of him, and Rimepaw, a slightly younger tom who’d just found his footing in life, wake up drowning one day. Their memories fading with each gasp of breath as they struggle to survive against the crushing waves. Rimepaw grabs on to the only thing he still remembers, his best friend, Vixenpaw while he desperately makes his way to the beach he can barely see. Baywind hears cats struggling all around him but he can’t see any of them. Water is everywhere, water is everything, he can’t remember anything else but water- and his own name. He feels himself slipping and gets a hold of his determination. He fights and fights the waves. He can’t think and acts purely of instinct. He needs to survive. Fight, gasp for air, fight, ignore the screaming, fight, the beach is so far away, fight, finally something stick to his paws, adrenaline, he might make it, another wave, darkness.

Baywind wakes up and coughs up to water in his lungs, and looks up to see huge concrete walls surrounding the beach on all sides except for the endless ocean.

A few days later, Vixenpaw, disappears.

Moon 298-Leaf-bare

ElementClan welcomes two new warriors!  Longpaw (12) is named Longpelt for her honor and Skypaw (10), despite feeling like an outsider, has been given her warrior name of Skymoon early, honoring her tenderness.  It feels nice to be seen by Creekstar (152).  With the amount of pranksters in the Clan now, it’s amazing that more cats haven’t been getting hurt.  Still, Rimepaw (9) falls victim to a prank and finds a thorn in her bedding.  Crouchpaw (9) is still stressed over her visions, and Creekstar suspects that there’s something going on with her.  She doesn’t know what, though, and that makes her testy in general.  She hisses at Crouchpaw over a small mistake.  Downgaze (79) seems to be taking out some of his mixed feelings over Auburnpaw’s death on Echoarch (16) and gets in a fight with his son over who should get a pretty feather.  The feather ends up getting destroyed.  Bluestripe (73) has been spending time with Pebbletuft (31) lately.  The two enjoy each other’s company.  And it’s a nice break for Bluestripe from Tanglechirp (45).  Burdockbeam (14) has been keeping a close eye on Tanglechirp lately.  He’s a little nervous that she's planning on making him the victim of her next prank.  Copperheart (14), despite warnings from senior warriors, is planning her next prank.  If she pulls it off, she’ll blame it on the apprentices.  Boulderflood (14) is rethinking her life choices.  What made her think being close with her sisters was a good idea?

Healer’s den: Sweet Marmalade (bite wound), Cavecatcher (dislocated joint, join pain), Kestrelcreek (pregnant), Rimepaw (small cut)

New personalities: Skymoon (loving, keen eye, and a fast runner), Petalpaw (troublesome, splashes in puddles, and quick to help)

Moon 2 - Willowchest and Rimepaw

Rimepaw has been apprenticed to Willowchest.

Willowchest knows that Stormstar and Puddledawn had wanted to mentor Rimepaw at first, and Stormstar was especially insistent that he get his first apprentice (yet another reason why Stormstar’s leadership is so unusual). And to prevent any further argument between her leader and deputy, Willowchest had swooped in at the last second and, being the big hero she is, dramatically declared that she will be Rimepaw’s mentor!

And then left without giving either of them the chance to argue.

Well, it’s nice to know that at least someone can appreciate her theatrics.

Now Willowchest is asking herself what she was thinking as she takes Rimepaw out to gather moss, and the younger molly’s paws are stamping against the ground as she reluctantly follows her. “But can’t we do something more…I don’t know, exciting?” Rimepaw asks, her tail drooping low. “Like practicing hunting and seeing who can catch the most amount of prey before the sun sets! Or beating each other up–without claws, of course. Or putting a thorn in Baysplash’s nest. Or collecting bugs! Why gathering moss?”

“First of all, I already thorned Baysplash’s nest a few days ago,” Willowchest says. “Second of all, I think you’ve already got enough dead bugs in your nest. Third of all, this will really help if you do it consistently. I mean, I get it, I get it, gathering moss isn’t the most exhilarating thing to do in the world but does everything have to be? This is only moss-tly harmless, after all.”

Rimepaw flicks some dirt onto Willowchest’s snout.

“Okay,” Willowchest coughs. “Not my best, I’ll admit. But I promise that gathering moss is going to help build up some strong muscles and make you the best warrior that you can–hey, where’re you going? You know, if you fail to gather all the moss all of it is just going to clump together and create the Mossster! You don’t want any Mosssters lurking around in our beaches, do you?”

Huh. Did the Mossster only ever work on me?

No matter what Willowchest does, however, she can’t quite get Rimepaw to take it seriously. And by the next morning after Rimepaw’s received a thorough scolding from Puddledawn, Willowchest finds her waiting by the fresh-kill pile. Willowchest approaches Rimepaw again, raising her chin slightly. “Alright, well, I hope that you’re ready to learn again today, otherwise Stormstar might just put both of us on moss duty for the next moon. And trust me, you don’t want to hear what either Puddledawn or Baysplash would have to say about that–stuff of nightmares, you hear me?”

“It’s not that bad, is it?” Rimepaw asks, tilting her head.

“That depends, do you consider smug looks and condescending mews ‘that bad?’” Willowchest retorts, lashing her tail. “Nobody likes a stuffynose, alright? They fill your ears with dust and make you sneeze on it.”

“What?”

“Now come on,” Willowchest says. She sighs, and lowers her voice this time. “Look, we can do something more exciting this time, okay? I’ll even let you catch the biggest, fattest fish in the ocean…so long as you don’t challenge me. Then I’d catch something even bigger, but when has a little competition ever hurt anyone? But–no, I should focus on teaching you. So…can we at least try to work together today? So we can both learn things from each other.”

Plus, she’d look ridiculous if that whole dramatic mini speech she made to Stormstar about being ‘the best possible mentor for Rimepaw’ would go to waste.

Still, what she said is enough to make Rimepaw nod her head tentatively, her blue eyes deepening with contemplation. “Alright,” Rimepaw finally says. “I’ll try harder this time. Sorry, about, uh…yesterday. I just thought I’d do something more–”

“–Dramatic?” Willowchest purrs. “Totally representative of all your future potential at once? Yeah, I get it. But let’s just start with small bites at that fish for now, okay? I’ll teach you how to hunt and use your claws and teeth for things other than nagging at other cats–which is also a very useful skill!–and then we can hold all the hunting competitions we want. I can’t promise that you’ll win many of them, though.”

“Okay, I get it,” Rimepaw says, her voice hardening–not out of hostility, but out of eagerness. “Fine! Show me how to fish then and I’ll catch anything better than you can!”

Well, that’s done it.

As Willowchest and Rimepaw playfully bicker with each other on their way out of camp, Willowchest starts feeling a little better about her impulsive decision to mentor Rimepaw. She can see all the potential in her now.

Bonus art and lore - Snapfern

This is Cloudyclan’s deputy Snapfern! He is one of my favorite cats :)

He became deputy after the last deputy was murdered. (Old design)

He has a full hate bar on Gillstar but also high platonic like? I like to think they care about each other but because Snapfern is insecure they struggle working together. That being said Snapfern has been the deputy for 72 moons and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon.

Snapfern is mates with Lavenderlion and their kits are Rimepaw, Bluepaw, Lyrepaw, and Skykit. Sadly, Skykit was killed by a mouse. She was a daydreamer and confident with words.

This is art I drew of Lavenderlion when she announced she’s expecting kits.

Snapfern is closest to Lavenderlion, Moonclaw, and his kids Rimepaw and Lyrepaw.

I think that’s everything for Snapfern? Next up I’ll be drawing our healers :)

Sunclan’s founders!

Of course Sunstar is the leader, then there’s his wife, Forestfall, who is also the clans medicine cat

Hornettail, Rimepaw, Sunnykit and Tempestkit are all their kits, from 3 separate litters, they are the only ones out of 8 kits that stayed in Sunclan

Pythonbright is deputy, with Softchill, Whimsyfall, and Alderbracken as the warriors

Halfpelt is their elder, he’s grouchy at times but loves to fill the kits curiosity if it means they’ll stop running in circles

Hornettail and eventually Tempestkit train to become meds like their mother, she ends up dying pretty early in the game so Hornet becomes their main med earlier then he’d like

Tempestkit is the last kit of the Sun and Forest litter, they sometimes feel like being a medicine cat brings them closer to their mother since they didn’t get to know her well as the others

And those are our founders

Moon 297-Leaf-bare

Creekstar (151) is feeling her age.  She’s starting to get more confused about things that used to come easily to her, and Dawnfreckle (81) is having to step up more.  However, Creekstar is still feeling up to giving some apprentices their warrior names.  Copperpaw (13) has always had a penchant for getting into (and starting) trouble, which has almost made Creekstar hold back from making her a warrior.  However, Creekstar can tell that Copperpaw’s been trying really hard lately to make up for it.  She feels it would be cruel to make her wait any longer and gives her the warrior name of Copperheart in honor of her enthusiasm.  Boulderpaw (13) also gets her warrior name of Boulderflood in honor of her observance and the way she saved Crouchpaw (8) from the flood.  Basaltpaw’s siblings are not fans of the constant reminder of how their brother died.  Brightmouse (72) is also feeling frustrated with Creekstar.  She feels like she should have made Bluestripe (72) deputy instead of Dawnfreckle, to better honor Skipneedle.  Boulderflood decides to help out the medicine cats for the day and grows some herbs for them.  Lakepelt (105) is grateful.  It reminds her a bit of working with Archdapple, though, which is a little bittersweet.  Kestrelcreek (86) has announced that she is, once again, expecting kits.  Brightmouse is excited to have kits of her own, this time.  Although Kestrelcreek is feeling a little lonely and wonders if anyone would notice if she disappeared.  Almondback (68) and Brightmouse reassure her that they would. Skypaw (9) is still feeling like an outsider in the Clan.  She overhears Copperheart spreading a rumor about her and her littermates and jumps in surprise when Rimepaw (8) sneaks up on her bad side.  She’s sure she did that on purpose.  Additionally, Echoarch (15) was finally able to make contact with Echomoor, so that Echomoor could tell him what really happened to Auburnpaw when they were apprentices.  Echoarch is horrified to hear about the traumatic event and does his best to comfort Echomoor.  He also, with Echomoor’s permission, tells Creekstar and Downgaze (78) the truth about what had happened.  Downgaze is shocked to learn these things he didn’t know about two of his littermates.  He wonders what else he doesn’t know about his family members.  He doesn’t blame Echomoor; he just wishes that he had told them sooner.  Creekstar takes the news a little bit harder.  She wishes that Echomoor had felt comfortable enough to tell her what had happened and feels bad that there was anything she did that made him, Primcrest, and Smokefoot feel like they couldn’t trust her with the truth.  She wants to see him and tell her son how sorry she is.  Crouchpaw (8) confides in Alderflight (53) that her dreams have recently been filled with shadows and. . .images.  And a gray and white cat.  Alderflight doesn’t know the Clan lore about Yuccawillow, but does his best to comfort the young cat.  In the dark forest, Yuccawillow is watching for her next victim.

Healer’s den:  Sweet Marmalade (claw wound), Embershell (whitecough), Kestrelcreek (pregnant), Skypaw (shivering)

New personalities: Boulderflood (nervous and a great mediator), Copperheart (troublesome, learner of lore, and a great mediator), Rimepaw (charismatic and interested in Clan history)
