(ok that sounds interesting, but how should we start? maybe the prophecy should go ahead and take place?) (Probably. Should we wait for Swamp Queen though? She said she was going to check this RP out. Or should we start without her, but maybe do an intro or something that won't permanently affect the course of the story? (In case she wants to contribute, which is obviously will.)) |

(yeah, let's start. you make the starter though. i'm not too good at those tbh) (Ok. It will be an intro)
Scorchfire stared up at the stars, wondering if even StarClan was still alive and watching them. The past couple of seasons for the Clans had been devastating to say the very, very least, and they had almost died out... Only a few or so cats were remaining in each Clan, and with leaf-bare fast approaching, their future was not looking bright. Scorchfire gazed back into the nursery behind him where his mate, Gorsetail, and their only kit, Featherkit, were located. [Note: Despite the number of cats that I said that currently exist in all the Clans, that does not include kits. However, just like the adult cats, kits are very few and far between.] Featherkit (now over 3 1/2 moons, btw... there is barely enough food for the Clan, so Gorsetail has to feed her herself... just trying to add some more drama) was trying to feed from her mother's belly and Gorsetail was looking right back into Scorchfire's eyes. "Do you think the prey will come again, my love? Do you think we will all eat again soon?" she asked with, sadness into her eyes as she gazed back down at Featherkit. Scorchfire padded up to her and laid down next to her flank and pressed his muzzle against her's. "I promise that all of us will do whatever it takes to make sure that we - including Featherkit - survives." he told her gently. "But perhaps we aren't enough. The other Clans must be struggling, too. If only we all worked together..." she trailed off, turning her attention back to Featherkit. "But that's against the Warrior Code." her mate pointed out. Gorsetail flashed a look at him, appalled by his choice of words. "Look at Featherkit. Look at your daughter. She's starving. Do you want her to starve?" she hissed at him (silently, so she wouldn't disturb Featherkit), her voice uncharacteristically sharp. Scorchfire looked at her, his eyes filled with nothing but love and sorrow. "We have no authority to make that decision..." he meowed, but as he gazed down at Featherkit who was struggling to get any milk out, he added, "But I will do everything in my power to convince the others that maybe the only way to survive... is for us to unify the Clans."
(Hope you like it! Tried to add some drama into it) |

*Redclaw sat in the clearing, his head down* _where are you Starclan?_ *he had felt despair that his warrior ancestors didn't seem to care if the clans died out. he heard pawsteps scuffling behind him, but didn't pay attention to them*
*Snakefang watched Scorchfire and Gorsetail. she closed her eyes and coughed a little. she was getting over the small cough that had overtaken her for a time.*
(do you want me to take over the Thunderclan cats or are you going to do that?)

(Okay, I'm here)
Marigoldfur(ThinderClan): She is a thick-furred she-cat with a pale brown pelt and yellowish markings. She has a dark underbelly and paws, and yellow eyes. She used to be a queen, but when her mate and kits died from a badger attack, she began training as a medicine cat so she could prevent others from feeling the pain of loss again. She has a strong motherly instinct, and is known to treat her patients like her own kits.
Nettlepaw(WindClan): Nettlepaw is 18 moons old now, but he hasn't become a warrior due to his leg injury that prohibits him from running or standing for long periods of time. He is a light gray tom with white swirls and black tail rings. He is very gloomy and mopey now that he can't run around the moors, and sometimes he'll sit in the old medicine den all day, without eating or talking.
Duskfall(RiverClan): A short furred, pale orange tom with red tabby markings. He has brown facial markings, green eyes and a single white paw. He is the deputy of RiverClan. He used to be much livelier before he lost his pregnant mate to the greencough epidemic. He has a large scar across his right eye that caused him to lose most eyesight in that side. He is very ambitious and a great fighter. He is very harsh towards invaders, and would never let a rogue near camp, as he values his Clan over all else.
(I can't decide on the reason why he hasn't gotten his nine lives yet. I think it should be either grief, or lack of connection with StarClan.)

(I think you should. As for WindClan, SkyClan and RiverClan, we'll leave them out (mostly) until more ppl join.) (We'll have to send out requests, obviously.) (Actually, I've have one cat in ThunderClan. Her name is Graywhisker, and she is a young warrior (about 2 season cycles old) and she has a light gray pelt (with darker gray tabby stripes running down her back), and she has blue eyes. She is a very pretty she-cat, has a very long tail, small paws, and overall a very lithe, curvy body. She is very shy, but undoubtedly loyal to ThunderClan.) Graywhisker was in her den, trying to catch some shut-eye. She had had terrible dreams of a great fire wiping out the remainder of the Clans (but oddly enough, cats had seemed to rise from the ashes...). She gazed up at the stars and judged that morning would be among them all soon. Featherkit's belly growled as she curled up, trying to sleep. "I have no more milk left..." Gorsetail sighed, and then looked at Scorchfire with sadness and desperation in her eyes. "I'll try to catch something." she promised her, and after pressing his muzzle against his mate, he dashed outside the nursery and into the wilderness beyond. Featherkit hadn't had a proper meal in days, and thus she was getting quite thin. Normally a kit her age would have been weaned almost a moon ago now, but with prey so scarce, the Clan had to conserve every morsel that it could get. If she didn't get anything to eat soon... Scorchfire pushed the horrible thought away and continued making his way through the forest. |

(Okay, cool)
Duskfall sat in his den, with his head over his paws. He sighed, thinking of his best friend, Pikestar, and his violent death. Duskfall remembered witnessing Pikestar's body shake in violent tremors as he lost his four remaining lives, one by one, with no way to stop it. He couldn't bear to bring himself to the moonpool, not after what happened.
Marigoldfur sorted herbs in the medicine den. She poked her head outside and saw Redclaw resting. "Hey, Redclaw, could you help me sort some herbs, I could really use the help," she asked.

Scorchfire began to make his way back the camp just as sunrise hit. He had managed to catch two thin mice and, this being a very good kill (considering the time of year and the shortage of food), a plump thrush. "I'll give the thrush to Gorsetail and the two mice can go on the fresh-kill pile." he said to himself, having made his decision. There were no elders to give them to, and Gorsetail - his mate - was the only Queen left in ShadowClan, and Featherkit so far was the only kit. |

"Good, I want to see you doing something instead of sitting around camp all day," she said. "You can go through this watermint store, take out any of the dead ones that aren't of any use anymore, and I'll work on some other herbs."
Nettlepaw exited the apprentice den, feeling sluggish. He saw the fresh-kill pile with a couple of mice on it, but he didn't help to hunt it, so it didn't seem right to eat some.

"You can go through this watermint store, take out any of the dead ones that aren't of any use anymore, and I'll work on some other herbs." Nettlepaw exited the apprentice den, feeling sluggish. He saw the fresh-kill pile with a couple of mice on it, but he didn't help to hunt it, so it didn't seem right to eat some. Graywhisker decided she would help with the morning hunting, and so she headed out into the woods. The times of organized hunting patrols and even border patrols were long gone... Gorsetail gave a smile of approval to her mate, but before eating the thrush, she maintained her gaze on him. "Should I chew it up first and give it to Featherkit?" she asked him. She was so tired she didn't even know what to think anymore, which wasn't good. Scorchfire shook his head. "You're starving, too. You need to eat, my love. When your milk comes back, Featherkit can feed... Although giving her a bit of it now won't hurt." he responded. Gorsetail looked smiled softly. "Since when did you become the mother around here?" she said cheekily. As soon as Gorsetail began munching on the thrush (and offering some of it to Featherkit, who rejected it at first, saying she wanted milk), Scorchfire looked outside the den once more and saw Nettlepaw at the fresh-kill pile. "I'll be right back." Scorchfire promised his mate, and padded over to Nettlepaw. "You're looking thin... Thinner than most of us. You should eat at least half of one of them." she meowed. |

(Okay then, it's a go, I guess. Will she be in a different Clan than Graywhisker or...?) Graywhisker returned a little bit later, having caught nothing but a very thin shrew. She shook some forest debris off her pelt, and headed to the fresh-kill pile. If it had not been for her extremely lithe (and, unrelated, very curvy) body, she wouldn't not have had the speed and agility to catch it, as it almost escaped into a large thicket of brambles. Featherkit was still sleeping, and Gorsetail was watching her with concern in her eyes, commonly checking to see if she was still breathing. She wrapped Featherkit around in her tail and pulled her to her body, hoping her body heat - and the warm scent of milk - would help Featherkit stay comfortable, and, not to mention, would help her survive. |
