WILLOWMOUSE - Patrolling the border with Fogshard! (Chats with Leopardcry while grabbing prey, is surprised to hear Goldpaw's life isn't very easy) She hadn't spent much time with Fogpa- shard, Willowmouse reminded herself, as she walked along the young warrior's side. It'd been some seasons since she had her own apprentice, and for good reason! Fawnstar knew better than any leader that Willowmouse had very specific standards. Standards she wasn't sure Fog shard met. How were so many of her clanmates so bubbly? Willowmouse grumbled to herself, marking the border and plowing forward ahead on the familiar invisible line. Goldpaw was somewhat okay, but she was soft when it came to other's difficulties. Leopardcry had looked similarly mopey enough to catch her attention earlier as well. She'd just been trying to eat! How dare she seem troubled enough to draw out Willow's softer side! Starclan spare her. |

Fawnstar »
recovering from blood loss - @ -
Fawnstar was no stranger to pain. In all of her seasons as a warrior she had had a myriad of injuries - sprained paws, bruised bones, scarring wounds, and of course, as a leader with the gift of multiple lives, she had experienced death twice now. In some ways, death was peaceful, relaxing even, compared to sustaining an injury that would then need to heal on its own rather than StarClan using their spiritual abilities to heal an injury. When she had died there had been pain, white and blinding, a strike of lightning that overtook her entire body, but the agony did not last long. StarClan had greeted her with open paws into their starry domain where pain no longer existed and agony vanished. She had healed among her ancestors, had shared tongues with her late father, before her remaining lives had brought her back into her now healed body. To experience death was an odd comfort, yet to experience birth was a surprising distress.
Tales of kitting from queens before her had warned the orange and black leader of the pain that came with it. She had prepared herself by soaking in the knowledge of those who had given birth before, and she had spoken with Amberdapple on more than one occasion about the process and what it all entailed on the medical side of things. When Fawnstar had felt the first shock of labor roll through her flanks she had thought she was prepared for what was to come. She had thought the pain would soon vanish, bringing forth an exhausted love that would warm her heart upon the first glance at her newborn kits.
And for a brief moment she had experienced pure unfiltered love and the fierceness of a lioness to protect her small wriggling newborns, but that elated emotion had soon passed when the world began to spin. The nursery around her began dimming, fading. She recalled a tone shift in her sister’s voice, a panic both well hidden yet so clearly obvious. Fawnstar barely recalled being dragged from the nest she had kitted in, hushed whispers ghosting about.
”There’s too much blood.”
”Had she stopped bleeding?”
”Is she going to make it?”
She had barely registered those words yet they clung to her mind like ivy on an oak. Between the mewlings of her three little kits and the panicked rush of medicine cats trying to stop her bleeding while also moving her out of her own blood, Fawnstar was in and out of a daze. In and out of consciousness. She had heard tales of queens giving their lives to bring their kits into the world, but she had never expected one of those unlucky queens to be her. No queen expected to be the unlucky one to never truly meet her kits. At least she had more lives. At least she could die and still mother her litter.
Fawnstar had not lost a life. Thanks to the hard work of her medicine cats she had been able to pull through without the direct involvement of the ancestors. She was sure they had some indirect involvement.
Now as she lay in the nursery, eyes full of love as she watched her three tiny kits squirm about and knead her stomach for a meal, Fawnstar couldn’t help but drown in the love she felt for her litter, smother in the fierceness that raged within her blood. To lose a life for these three kits would have been worth it, and to lose a life to protect and defend her little ones would be all the more worth it.
But for right now, hopefully for a long while, she would lay here and rest in the warmth of the nursery. Dizzy and lethargic still from blood loss, Fawnstar didn’t think she had it in her to wage a war over the defense of her kits. So long as she was allowed to curl up with her new family, she was content. She was happy.

 Duskfeather- Border Patrol with Willowmouse, Cloverfur and Goldpaw Finally, the whitecaught is gone! Duskfeather was cured, and he could return to his normal life, defending his clan and hunting for it. Nothing made him happier than knowing his clan mates were safe and sound. Fawnstar had recently given birth, and was loosing a lot of blood while doing so. Duskfeather was very worried about her, but healing was not his area of expertise, so all he could do was trust that Amberdapple would work her magic on her. He knew the medicine cat was very competent, so Duskfeather trusted that the leader was in good paws. Duskfeather lead a patrol consisting of Willowmouse, Cloverfur and Goldpaw. While the apprentice has had trouble focusing on training, Cloverfur and Fawnstar have done their best to help him. The deputy saw potential in Goldpaw, and wanted to see for himself just how much he had progressed. The cats continued staying vigilant, when Duskfeather saw, in the corner of his eye, Goldpaw getting his attention grabbed by something. Duskfeather wondered what the young cat saw and turned around to check. Tagging jaybun! Dew stonekeeper |

Goldpaw-Had a very strange dream/border patrol with Duskfeather, Cloverfur, and Willowmouse/kit rescue Another day, another patrol. Goldpaw was thinking about the very strange dream he had the previous night. Like all of the dreams he had been getting, this dream had him wandering Plumclan territory but something about the dreams always felt unfamiliar to him. Something about this dream in particular felt more odd than the rest although Goldpaw wasn’t sure why it felt different. Goldpaw shook his head. He should keep his focus on the border patrol, not on his dreams. He stepped away from the patrol, hoping to clear his mind for a moment and regain his focus. Goldpaw spotted something on the ground, making him pause in his tracks. He moved closer to try to get a better sense of what he was looking at. Goldpaw then realized that he was looking at a kit! He looked around at his surroundings. Where was the kit’s mother? Goldpaw couldn’t see nor scent any trace of her anywhere. He looked back at the kit, noticing how the kit looked very weak. This kit clearly looked abandoned and judging by the condition of the kit had been that way for some time now. If I don’t do something then this kit could die! Goldpaw thought with a growing sense of concern and horror. He thought of Amberdapple the medicine cat. Maybe she could help this kit? He gently picked the kit up by the scruff of her neck, careful not to hurt her. He turned around and started rushing as fast as he could back to camp with the kit in his jaws. Goldpaw hoped that he was doing the right thing. chocolatemilk7 jaybun!! @dewbranch |

Hawkkit Sits in the nursery and watches fawnstar sleeping by her newborn kits.
Fawnstar must be so strong to keep up the clan and have to take care of 3 kits also. Hawkkit thought.
He then whispered "Fawnstar are you awake?"

Hatchkit lay in the medicine den, scowling as he tested his limbs one at a time. Okay, maybe it wasn't so bad. But those poultices stung! He decided not to get up for a little while.
Hatchkit couldn't help but feel a little bee-brained. It was his own fault he'd scraped himself up, and here he was, wasting herbs that could be used on actually sick cats. Cats like Rindlestripe. The leaf-bare had brought with it sickness, and Rindlestripe had caught... Yellowcough? Yes, that's what it was. They were so brave! Yellowcough was deadly, wasn't it? But Rindlestripe looked confident as ever.
Hatchkit was bored. Being alone wasn't quite as fun when it hurt to move. He got an idea.
"Psst! Hey... Hey, Rindlestripe, are you there? Let's play a game!" He whispered, biting back the apprehension that came with speaking to a warrior.

Dustpaw PS: I don't know if including what the part of the Clangen description that states other cat's movements is GodMode so I'm going to put that in gray. Brownie Please tell me if this is GodMode or not, I'm confused.Clangen Prompt:
Duskfeather wakes Dustpaw and tells her that Leopardcry is hiding somewhere in the orchards. Sheepishly, Dustpaw admits she isn't feeling well today and rushes the the healer's den... but she's really just nervous about leaving camp alone
As Dustpaw rolled in her sleep she felt a strange prodding against her shoulder and she got slowly dragged awake. "What do you want...?" She sloppily mumbled into the soft moss bedding of her bed. She wanted to fall asleep so badly. Yesterday she had gone out hunting and spent the entire day on a wild goose chase, catching a tiny, scrawny bird at the end that was pretty much only skin, and now all she wanted was just a bit of peace and quiet. But life doesn't care. Feeling the prodding again, she realized that she fell back asleep. Finally getting up, she was face to face with Duskfeather (chocolatemilk7 ) . "Dustpaw, I think Leopardcry is somewhere in the orchards. I'm tasking you to find her, as you know her best. He's been gone for the whole morning!" Dustpaw weighed her options. Either go find Leopardcry, but alone, or stay here, but not alone. She remembered last time she went out alone, cold and miserable, she almost got lost! She decided it was best if she sayed here, but then she looked at Duskfeather. She didnt want to disobey the deputy's orders, so she quickly and hastily said that she had a stomachache and bolted down to the medicine den. She did have a very big mouse the other day, but nowhere near an actual stomachache. She came to the medicine den and hid herself in there until she couldn't see Duskfeather anymore. But when Dustpaw turned around, she was face to face with Quickshade (stormshade1 ) . "Uhh, I... have, aaaa- stomachache?" She scrambled to find the right words. "Yep. A stomachache. Definitely."

MistyPath you can use the moon updates to imply actions (like knowing Leopardcry is testing Dustpaw, and Duskfeather informs her of this) but you can't "speak" for Duskfeather. A way you could rephrase it that would be fine would be: Dustpaw woke up to Duskfeather, who informed her that Leopardcry was somewhere in the orchards and Dustpaw would be tasked with finding her mentor.You can imply that Duskfeather imparted the information--that's given knowledge in the moon update--but you can't directly describe his actions or words. In the example I gave, Duskfeather's player has the opportunity to make a post that squeezes in between yours and describes his actions in detail. Basically, you don't want to be directly controlling another cat, so that they have the chance to reply. ]]

Front page completely updated. All kits added to the page with traits, as well as family tree updates.
As of this moon
Quickshade - 138 moons
Clementinescreech - 71 moons
RindleKits - 5 moons
FawnKits - 1 moon
There are no activity checks in PlumClan, but I might put cats back up for grabs if their rp'er never rp'd (or gave less than 3 replies), but only if someone wants that cat or we are full and need to open slots. ]]

Fawnstar »
craving shrew, thinks how cute forestkit is - @ -
While thankful that her littermate had checked in on her earlier with a mouthful of herbs, Fawnstar’s taste buds did not approve of the bitter herbal taste that lingered. Her tongue flicked over her muzzle in an attempt to swipe the taste away, but to no avail. Perhaps something off the fresh-kill pile would mask the herbs that fought so desperately to remain upon her tongue. A nice shrew could very well do the trick, she mused to herself.
Her blue eyes lowered to the curve of her stomach where her brood of three lay warm and content. Fawnstar planned to only be away for a few moments, long enough to eat her fill, but already her heart ached at the thought of leaving her litter alone in the nursery. She gazed affectionately at each kit. Her little Auburnkit and Havenkit, their red pelts both so similar to one another yet so different as well. Small Forestkit, as cute as she was, was curled in a ball, her mixture of ginger and gray fur reminding Fawnstar of both herself and the litter’s father.
Looking away she recalled the broad shouldered tom she had met one evening while on a solo patrol near the twoleg barns. He was a handsome cat with sleek pale gray tabby fur, and with a charming smile and a personality that reminded Fawnstar of the best of PlumClan warriors, it had been hard to deny her racing heart at the sight of him. Mysh was his name, the Clan leader thinking he had said Mouse at first. When the handsome tom had corrected her she had looked away embarrassed, yet he had not seemed to mind. They continued to meet for some time, and now she had three perfect kits. Three bundles of joy that she couldn’t wait to watch grow up and serve their Clan with all the strength and loyalty a member of PlumClan had to offer. One day she’d take them to meet their father, but for now, she granted them peace and warmth in the security of the nursery.
Slowly and carefully she peeled herself from her slumbering kittens. With thoughtfully placed pawsteps the leader headed out of the nursery and toward the fresh-kill pile, glad to feel she wasn’t as light headed or as sore as she had been some days before.

 Shinekit didn't... feel good at all. She coughed once, twice, then flopped down, suddenly feeling strangely exhausted. She just wanted to... sleep, yes. Ignoring her siblings' call to play, she decided to go to the warrior's den and see what the other warriors were doing. Maybe she could listen to some story? She was just going to enter when a shadow covered her whole body. She looked up to see a winged animal against the strong greenleaf sun. Instinctively, she closed her eyes but suddenly jumped forward as a high screech filled her ears. What was that?! She hurried inside the warriors' den, terrified as she had never been before, and squeezing between Clementinescreech and her nest, trying to get under their chest to hide. She was quivering but soon noticed with sadness that the warrior was actually annoyed by her. Why did she always have to get things wrong? Damn... |

Duskfeather- Hunting patrol with Willowmouse and Fogshard Now in the heart of leaf-bare, getting a sufficient amount of prey was more important than ever. In total, there were 3 cats unable to fulfill their duties this moon, either because they got sick, bit by a dog, or in Fawnstar’s case, gave birth. Duskfeather knew this just meant that they remaining warrior would have to work twice as hard. However, after the recent blizzard, a heavy layer of snow covered the ground, making it harder to sneak up on the already scarse prey. All the patrol had caught so far was a few skinny mice. Duskfeather met up with the other two cats, discussing their catches. “Has anyone caught anything significant? Not much from me so far, I’m afraid” said Duskfeather. But as he looked over towards the sun, he could see it start to set. Ironically, Duskfeather was a much better hunter in the evening. It was a special advantage of his to blend in with the darkness. This could be their chance! “But it has almost become dusk. If you’re both ok with that, we could stay out a bit longer to hunt. I have the feeling we’ll get lucky now.” Duskfeather added with a smile on his face. Tagging jaybun! Brownie |

In the past few days, the sickness continued to spread through camp. His sister Shinekit was the newest case, her form now curled up in the nest as she coughed. The previous day, he’d asked her to play, but she only rolled over onto her side, ignoring him. So today he piled up snow that had collected at the entrance of the camp, shaping it into the form of a cat. Satisfied with his work, he retreated back into the camp to warm his paws. Stars, was he hungry! And right next to the medicine den was a juicy piece of fresh-kill, just sitting there. Slowly, Hatchkit crept up to it, nibbling off a few morsels. He licked his lips in satisfaction before looking up to see Amberdapple hanging above him. The medicine cat was less than impressed, and it showed. Hatchkit froze, then ran away before they could put in a single word. After eating some fresh-kill of his own, he was ready to return to his work of tending to the snow-cats. Placing pebbles and sticks to give them expressions, he looked back at his work. “Hey, Snowdrop, can we share?” he meowed to one of them. “Of course!” Hatchkit meowed in a different voice, before pushing a ball of snow up and licking it, feeling the ice melt to water in his mouth. Hatchkit purred to himself before turning to see Tanglekit behind him. Burning with embarrassment that she was watching him the whole time, he spoke up in a small voice. “Hey, Tanglekit… whatcha’ doing here?” Tagging: stormshade1 (as Tanglekit) |

Rindlestripe 
Quarantines themselves while others share tongues
Appreciates Leopardcry checking up on them Rindlestripe curled their tabby tail over their shivering body. For the past moon they had been cooped up, cramped in the medicine den, plagued by a fever and hacking cough. The masked tabby was playing with Shinekit when something tickled at the back of their throat. That tickle soon developed into sputtering, and before they knew it, Rindlestripe was paying a visit to Amberdapple’s clinic. Yet, Rindlestripe kept finding their paws retreating to the nursery when the healers were out of sight. Now that their name was listed off patrols, Rindlestripe's hours were spent checking up on with the overflowing amount of kits in the nursery. After all, Fawnstar would tire quickly from their games! Pretty soon, Shinekit was displaying symptoms as well. That's when Rindlestripe saw how dangerous yellowcough could be. The masked warrior was advised to contain their sickness. Of course, that wouldn't stop them from peering anxiously through the den opening. Beyond the clearing, they could see the healthy kits, bundled up from the snow, grooming their frosty pelts. Rindlestripe's breath hung warm in the air in a longing sigh. I hope I can recover in time for your apprentice ceremonies…A golden figure began to approach the entrance, and Rindlestripe was curious to see it was Leopardcry. Another injured cat? How much more room do we have in this den? But they were astounded to know that the young cat was not only doing well, but had asked to check up on them specifically. The splotched tabby never interacted too much with others, but it was a welcome surprise to some cat cared about their quarantine, excluding the kits and medicine cats. Rindlestripe was prepared to meow a greeting only to be seized by another coughing fit.

Shinekit didn't... feel good at all. She coughed once, twice, then flopped down, suddenly feeling strangely exhausted. She just wanted to... sleep, yes. Ignoring her siblings' call to play, she decided to go to the warrior's den and see what the other warriors were doing. Maybe she could listen to some story? She was just going to enter when a shadow covered her whole body. She looked up to see a winged animal against the strong greenleaf sun. Instinctively, she closed her eyes but suddenly jumped forward as a high screech filled her ears. What was that?! She hurried inside the warriors' den, terrified as she had never been before, and squeezing between Clementinescreech and her nest, trying to get under their chest to hide. She was quivering but soon noticed with sadness that the warrior was actually annoyed by her. Why did she always have to get things wrong? Damn... ![]() Hawkkit looked at shinekit and frowned. Seeing shinekit sick was heart breaking for him fore they we`re good friends. " Hey you okay?" Hawkkit asked shinekit. He hoped she was for him he`s littermates and rindlestripe!

Goldpaw- Training with Cloverfur
Today begins a new lesson for Goldpaw. Like the moss lesson, this lesson is rather simple. Goldpaw will be learning how to interact with a rival warrior at a Gathering with Goldpaw taking on the role of the rival warrior in question. He had never thought about needing to learn about something like this but at the same time this also makes sense to him. Maintaining a friendly relationship with a cat from another clan is important for preventing any unnecessary battles in the future. Goldpaw learnt from this conservation; however, that it is also just as important to maintain Plumclan’s secrets. Protecting those secrets well can be another way of keeping his clanmates safe. Goldpaw thought to himself for a moment. If he was a cat from a rival clan at a Gathering, what would he say? “Hello there. How is Plumclan doing?” He asked his mentor.

WILLOWMOUSE - Hunting with Duskfeather & Fogshard! It took Willowmouse a considerable amount of effort to tear herself away from the nursery. She'd only visited Fawnstar once (been allowed more like) but that didn't keep her from lingering outside of it. So far she thinks she's done a rather admirable job at corralling Rindlestripe's older kits and menacing away some of the more energetic clan-mates. (Not that she'd ever admit to that.) The fresh kill pile couldn't fill itself however, and at Duskfeather's call Willowmouse joined the deputy's hunt. But either too distracted or a genuine lack of prey, the senior warrior found her paws irritatingly empty. The single mouse she'd buried some time ago hardly counted for much of anything. The sun continued to dip further and further toward the horizon, casting large shadows along the drifts of snow. " I have the feeling we’ll get lucky now." Duskfeather said with a certainty Willowmouse herself lacked. Her paws tingled from the cold, and the call of her nest grew louder. " I suppose we can stay out a little longer." Willowmouse bit back a sigh, tired eyes casting about the gleaming white landscape. She doubted they'd find anything but- a flash of movement caught the molly's attention. She blinked, once, twice, but yes; it was there! A plump (by leaf-bare standards) rabbit! Quickly Willowmouse set into action without a word for her hunting party, dropping into a crouch so low her belly brushed against the snow. She prowled toward the rabbit without so much as a blink, and then snatched the pesky prey by the scruff. |

Duskfeather- Hunting with Willowmouse and Fogshard The deputy watched as Willowmouse quickly separated from the patrol and returned with a plump rabbit. Now we’re talking! Duskfeather knew staying out longer was a good idea. “Excellent job, Willowmouse!”, he said. But the black tabby quickly turned his attention to a new smell he scented: a fat squirrel, in a not too far away tree. Duskfeather had to be careful to not alert it of his presence. He slowly approached the tree, trying his best to lightly step on the snow, as to not make too much noise. He unsheathed his claws and began climbing the tree. While climbing was PlumClans signature skill, he was one of the clans best climbers, only rivaled by Rindlestripe. Slowly, he scaled the tree until he was nearly level with the squirrel. Just as he was about to pounce, the prey noticed him and tried to leap to a nearby branch. Duskfeather reacted quickly. With a quick and pounce and a bite to the neck, he killed it, but almost fell off in the process from unbalance. After stabilizing himself, he jumped down from the tree to greet his clan mates with the squirrel in his mouth. Tagging jaybun! Brownie |

Fawnstar »
checks on shinekit, suffers from infection - @ -
Since the time of her kits’ birth, Fawnstar had yet to truly spend quality time with them. She was in the nursery with them almost constantly, making sure they were fed and teaching them the lessons every young warrior received from their mother, but she had also spent a lot of time sleeping. Blood loss was no joke, and had left her feeling wobbly in the legs and faint in the mind. It had been hard staying awake for longer than a few hours, though luckily her naptimes often coincided with the naptime of her kits. Most of her guilt came from the fact that she had not the strength to get up and play with her kits. She could offer her tail and pretend it was a snake slithering around in the nest she shared with her litter, or she could allow her kits to climb upon her much larger form and let them run around on her like an army of ants, but she couldn’t tussle with them herself. She couldn’t chase them around the camp or give them badger rides like she should. It made her worry if her kits would grow up with fond memories of her when they had all been in the nursery together. She was grateful that so many of her Clanmates had pitched in and helped with the raising of her kits, it was what a Clan was for, but she still felt guilty about it all.
Sometimes she really did wish the kits’ father were with her. Then they’d at least have one parent that could give them all the fun they desired.
However, energy had returned to the tortoiseshell queen for a few days. Feeling as if her blood had finally restored itself to correct levels, Fawnstar had been well enough to get up and conduct a few apprentice ceremonies - Rindlestripe’s kits had reached their sixth moon, and with a surge of energy, she promoted them all to apprentices. There had been a part of her that wondered if she should hold Shinekit back. With yellowcough still stirring in the young cat’s chest, Fawnstar had wondered if it would even be a good idea to put the stress of apprentice training onto her, but she had decided that the kit would recover faster with her littermates at her side instead of being stuck in the nursery some days longer. In due time she would recover, and she would recover as an apprentice rather than a kit.
Almost as soon as her energy had returned her energy had crashed once more. This time it came with a sweltering fever that went through a vicious cycle of making her feel as if she were standing in the sun in the middle of greenleaf to making her feel as cold as if she were in the shadows in leaf-bare. A quick inspection from Amberdapple confirmed an infection that was now tormenting her body.
Fever stricken and with no energy to even move an inch from her nest, Fawnstar lay in the nursery, miserable and groggy. Of all the times for her to be plagued with so many misfortunes, right as she had her first litter of kits. And not only that, but she had not been able to help Duskfeather run the Clan as she had promised right before kitting. The leader suddenly felt useless - she couldn’t be a mother to her kits and she couldn’t be a leader to her Clan.
Hopefully this infection would abate soon and she could get back to being a leader and a mother. |

WILLOWMOUSE - Training Daisypaw! " Don't fall in," Willowmouse huffed, with a voice much too soft for her standards. Daisypaw mewed an affirmative, teetering on the worn wooden posts that penned in the pigs. The apprentice's eyes were wide, pupils blown out with excitement as she gawked at the large beasts below. The senior molly hid a smile, her gloomy mood struggling for purchase in the wake of such earnest excitement. It reminded her of when Fawnstar was still Fawnpaw, she'd taken her on this exact same trip. The sight of the horses had sent Fawnpaw darting back into the forest with her fur standing on end!
Nothing could ever replace her first apprentice, but... Daisypaw seemed alright. Much braver, Willowmouse thought, amused. She'd have to tease Fawnstar about it when she visited the new mother later- maybe it would cheer her up as she recovered? |

 HatchpawThe chorus of the apprenticeship ceremony had still not died in his ears before Hatchpaw began to worry again. Who would train him, with Clementinescreech still lying in the medicine den? He couldn’t be an apprentice without a mentor, could he? Then again, his sister Shinepaw had been made an apprentice as well, though she was scarcely well enough to even attend her own ceremony. He peeked into the medicine den to check on them, seeing her curled up at the far end, moss wrapped over the bite mark the dog had left.
Pushing himself away, he plodded towards the apprentice den, feeling thoroughly forgotten. Cloverfur passed right in front of him, but he didn’t spare a word as he sat down by himself, making his new bedding even. He did want to hunt, as a matter of fact, he was quite hungry for a catch of his own. But he’d have to wait for Clementinescreech, and who knows how long that would take?

Duskfeather- Is assigning hunting patrols/Training with Hawkpaw Just because leaf bare was almost over, doesn’t mean the clan’s troubles had stopped. In fact, Duskfeather was more busy then ever. Fawnstar had stopped bleeding, but the wound had gotten infected, and Amberdapple was so busy with helping the leader, that leadership of the clan had almost completely gone over to Duskfeather. He never truly realized how hard it was to be a clan leader. Duskfeather gained even more respect for Fawnstar after everything this leaf bare, his leader, but also his friend. On top of everything, he also had an apprentice now, one of Rindlestripe’s kits, Hawkpaw. It was his duty to ensure the young cat will become a skilled warrior one day, hunting for and defending his clan. The deputy planned on taking Hawkpaw out for his first training session soon, but he had some hunting patrols to organize first. Seeing as Clemetinscreesh, Hatchpaw’s mentor, and Shinepaw, Fogshard’s apprentice, were both in the medicine den, he decided to send those two healthy cats with Rindlestripe. “Fogshard and Rindlestripe, take Hatchpaw with you for hunting. Teach him how to hunt, but also make sure to bring back some prey caugh by yourselves, just in case.”. With that out of the way, Duskfeather lead Hawkpaw out to the training grounds. Before anything else, Duskfeather planned to teach his apprentice about something most mentors forget about; keeping your footing on snow. While leaf bare was almost over, it was certainly a valuable skill to have for the future, as battles during the cold season for food were bound to happen. “Snow, especially during late leaf bare, when it starts to melt, can become slippery and hard to traverse. When walking or running, keep a good distance between your feet, and use your tail to balance when you need to! Also, your paws will be cold, so you shouldn’t spend too much time standing in one place in snow.”. Duskfeather- Watched over Havenkit/Is annoyed by Nightkit’s negative attitude Surprisingly, Duskfeather sometimes found himself in the nursery with the kits. He was surprised so see that he enjoyed watching the kits play, and sometimes even playing with them. Fawnstar had her infected wound, so many clan mates helped raise the kits. While Duskfeather was busy, he did enjoy taking some time off and just playing. It reminded him of a time long past, when he was merely Duskkit, dreaming of being a powerful and loyal warrior. He smiled as he remembered the simpler times. He wanted these kits to be able to cherish these moments in their youth too. Duskfeather especially noticed Havenkit’s active imagination and politeness. The deputy saw a lot of potential in him. If he didn’t already have Hawkpaw as an apprentice, he would have liked to train Havenkit himself. But he will most likely still be busy with Hawkpaw by the time the kits grow up. As he kept looking around the nursery, he noticed that Nightkit had gone missing. Did she sneak out?! Duskfeather rushed outside the nursery, then outside of camp to see Nightkit in the snow. Before she could wander any further, Duskfeather stopped her. “Nightkit! You know kits aren’t allowed to leave camp! It’s dangerous out there, as there are many predators that could hurt you. I know you’re almost as old as Rindlestripe’s kits, but you still need to wait one moon before you become an apprentice.”. Tagging Hawkheart stormshade1 |
