ScorchClan/Roleplay/Archive 18

Muttering under her breath, Scorchflame's eyes rounded as she heard Lavapaw scream. The senior warrior approached the den cautiously, hoping that she wasn't alarming anyone, and poking her head in curiously. "What's going - oh, no," she mewed as her gaze set on the young she-cat. "She needs Commapaw, I think." -- 05:27, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern nodded. "For now, we should wait..however, for the screams, I do know of a method we could use to not kill our eardrums and help her a bit." The tabby deputy flicked her tail aggressively. Still haven't seen Alderstar. She was growing a tad bit worried - she trusted her leader, but she didn't wish to take his place so soon. 09:14, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
Commapaw rushed into camp having heard the scream her tiny legs going as fast as she could, tripping several times but ignoring that. The tortoiseshell and white medicine cat apprentice grabbed a stick and several herbs. She rushed to Lavapaw's side. "Here, bite this." She grunted.
Spiderpaw and Minkpaw sighed as they traveled further towards the FlameClan/ScorchClan border. — Ryewhisker
 11:52, September 15, 2016 (UTC) 
Lavapaw obeyed, biting down on the stick. Fernpaw glanced at Commapaw. "What's wrong with her?" ~Patchfeather~ 12:58, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
Commapaw figured he'd find out soon enough. "Childbirth, honey." She said softly before waiting. — Ryewhisker
 14:00, September 15, 2016 (UTC) 
Fernpaw was even more surprised. Lavapaw was expecting kits? After a long while, Lavapaw gave birth to four healthy kits. She let her tired gaze rest on them. They were beautiful! The runt, a tiny black tom huddled closely to his much larger, poofy gray sister. ~Patchfeather~ 14:09, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
After Commapaw came and started to help Lavapaw, Scorchflame drifted off. Speaking of offspring... she was considering going to visit her daughter soon, whom she hadn't seen since she returned to ScorchClan. ---- "What are you -?" Eaglesoar, who was repairing a hole in the warriors' den, stared as Flashdusk came up to him. -- 19:11, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
Later, Lavapaw had taken her gray daughter and black son to live with their father in FlameClan, while she kept the other two. She lay in the nursery, thinking of names. She thought Morningkit would be good for her daughter, and maybe Albatrosskit for the tom. 
Bloomfur padded into camp with prey in her jaws, her former mentor, Featherflight beside her. Bloomfur hurried to the nursery. She had heard her friend, Lavapaw, had given birth. She hadn't even known she was expcting! ~Patchfeather~ 19:41, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern flicked her tail, still somewhat worried. Easy. She willed herself to calm down, taking a few breaths. She caught sight of Eagletalon, who sat away from his kits. "Hey," she called, watching the tom perk up. "Why aren't you sitting with them?" she asked, approaching him and flicking her tail towards his kits. "They never knew you as a father, but at this point, they don't have anyone else to remember their mother by." The tom flattened his ears at the mention of his former mate. He recalled the moment he gave up fighting Panthershade and shivered aggressively. Never again. 22:29, September 15, 2016 (UTC)
Mistcloud blinked in surprise, taken back by the fact that her apprentice had...kids. Hadn't Miststorm's great practice of chastity rub off on her apprentice, or...at least made her think about things?---- Morningkit gently pressed her multi-colored face against her mother's warm belly. 00:27, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
Bloomfur purred at the sight of the kits. "They will be great warriors," she murmured to Lavapaw. Lavapaw nodded. "I hope they will be accepted." Bloomfur flicked her ears dissmissively. "Of course they will, are you a mousebrain?" ~Patchfeather~ 02:44, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
(shall alder and ash arrive back at camp now, whiskers?) "Nothing," Flashdusk mewed nonchalantly as the she-cat shot a glance at the nursery. She wanted kits one day... and secretly she wanted some with Eaglesoar, as she... kinda liked him. Oh dear. -- 04:29, September 16, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower, the new medicine cat of ScorchClan, made her way through camp proudly heading to check on Lavapaw. The former medicine cat apprentice had received her name just last night, right after Tipcloud had retired. The tiny tortoiseshell and white molly hadn't seen Alderstar nor Ashbreeze and she figured Ashbreeze had done something to him. She sat down outside her den watching the entrance for the leader. — Ryewhisker
 14:06, September 16, 2016 (UTC) 
(sorry about my absence, really busy) Ashflame ran from through the bushes to the spot where they had been before. Gone, they must have left. He caught Blossomhearts scent, and began to follow it. They must be headed for the river. --- Blossomheart led the two apprentices away from the spot, listening to the rushing sounds of the river getting nearer. -Attack cat
(yeah brams, let's bring them back) Ashbreeze limped alongside Alderstar, her back still bloodied from that big nasy bite-wound she had received. She didn't bother to dress her own wounds, for they had no time, they needed to get back to ScorchClan.---- Windstorm slept beside his brother, Panthershade remaining awake while he did so. 14:27, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Fernpaw poped his head into the nursery. Lavapaw was curled around her two kits. "Uh, hi Lavapaw," he mewed, awkwardly creeping in. She greeted him with a flick of her ears. "Who is the father?" he asked. He wanted to know, he felt a bit hurt by the fact Lavapaw had kits with another tom, as he had a little crush on her. ~Patchfeather~ 15:37, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern talked quietly with Eagletalon, who kept his gaze on his kits. Albatrosskit, being one of the youngest members, blinked his green eyes for the first time. The chocolate brown tomkit promptly glanced at his sister, Morningkit, and then at Fernpaw. Riverpaw, meanwhile, flicked his tail; the tom was bored. 15:40, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Morningkit squirmed for a few moments before dying down, eventually pressing closer to her dam before falling asleep, her flank rising and falling slowly. The newborn kit, although blind and deaf, clearly knew who her mother was and where she was located.---- Panthershade awkwardly squirmed away from his sleeping brother before looking for something to do. 15:42, September 17, 2016 (UTC)\
Lavapaw gazed fondly at her kits and nuzzled them both, proudly noticing her son had opened his eyes for the first time. She ignored Fernpaw. He let out a faint hiss and left the den. ---- Bloomfur pawed a pebble with her paw, trying to think of something to do. ---- Featherflight did a few battle moves with Sandpaw. She nodded in approval. "Go get some rest now," she ordered when they returned to camp, he obeyed and went to the apprentices den. ~Patchfeather~ 15:46, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Panthershade huffed, staring up at the sky. Alderstar and that stupid FlameClan cat, Ashbreeze, still hadn't come back...good, maybe that FlameClan scum he drowned or something.---- Miststorm, meanwhile, pondered about her family. She never met them, and now questioned her background. Perhaps she actually had Clan blood? 15:52, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Fernpaw stomped into the apprentices den and flopped down on his nest next to Sandpaw. Instantly, Sandpaw began to kick him in the gut. "Ugh, Sandpaw, stop!" Fernpaw hissed. Sandpaw, who was pretending to sleep, opened his eyes. "Stop what? I have no idea what your talking about." Fernpaw glared at him. "You know exactly what I'm talking about," he huffed and closed his eyes. Sandpaw shrugged. What was his problem? "Featherflight says I'll be a warrior in no time," Sandpaw boasted. Fernpaw opened his eyes very wide. "Stop. Talking." ~Patchfeather~ 17:23, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
(k whiskers :D) Eventually - as the two cats were returning at a slower pace they headed out at - Alderstar and his mate arrived back at camp. (gonna skip the way back, if it's ok with you) -- 19:29, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
(fine with me) Ashbreeze, her eyelids drooping, lazily glanced over at Alderstar. "...If you don't mind, I..may stay another night to try to rest up, to journey back home." She still hadn't bothered with her wounds, the only thing on her mind was rest. 19:31, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
"Okay," Alderstar replied, agreeing. He was tired... and he had ceremonies to do, great. He'd do those soon, after he'd had a little bit of shut-eye. -- 19:35, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern pricked her ears, pausing in her conversation to leap up. "Welcome back. You look pained." 19:37, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Stumbling every so often as she walked, Ashbreeze drug herself to the warrior's den to get her deserved rest. 19:40, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar winced at the deputy's words. "...Yeah, I am pained." The leader paused. "Mind running camp for a bit? I'm going to get some rest." The leader blinked tiredly - he was drained after losing that life. -- 19:43, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
"Sure," Aspenfern murmured. "You should probably get an update on the camp life: Ivyshade was killed by a rogue and one of our apprentices has kitted, bringing us Morningkit and Albatrosskit." The deputy smiled and flicked her tail. "Now go rest. I can't take your place so soon." 19:46, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
"Mmmhmm." Alderstar was only half paying attention. After the deputy had finished speaking, he trailed off to his den, curling up and falling asleep in his nest soon after. -- 19:50, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze settled down in a nest in the corner of the den, slowly lowering herself into the nest. She felt like she...forgot something? Ah, oh well. 19:55, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower had come back to camp shortly after Alderstar and AshbreeE and immediately saw the she-cat. Her back was bloody and she looked completely exhausted. Knowing Alderstar would want her taken care of the tiny tortoiseshell and white medicine cat stomped to the grey tabby and demanded she follow her. Once getting into her den she grabbed a huge mouthful of cobwebs, poppy seeds, etc. The she-cat signaled for Ashbreeze to sit and rather delicately began to make a poultice for the wounds. Once the poultice was dine and she'd had her clean her pelt, Commaflower placed the poultice on her pelt spreading it over her entire spine and to her carious cuts and scratches. "I suggest you stay a few more nights," the molly said. She eyed the molly waiting for her response.
Comma flower then gathered wet moss, poppy seeds, and cobwebs for Alderstar. She made her way to him, "you can forget about those ceremonies right now." She demanded. The molly went into cleaning his wounds. Someone had already stopped the bleeding. "Did Ashbteeze put the cobwebs on you?" She questioned. — Ryewhisker
 23:32, September 17, 2016 (UTC) 
Ashbreeze slowly followed the molly, dragging herself from her nest and moving like a slug. Her whole body ached...but why? Why did she feel so...ill? Did she miss her family? Of course she did, but this was no feeling of home-sickness, more of...well, actual sickness. She stood still as Commaflower treated her, not muttering a word of complaint. She wanted this agony to be over with... The pale tabby slumped down as the Medicine Cat moved on to Alderstar, only to prick her ears slightly as her name was mentioned. "...Me? Yes, I did." She spoke quietly before drifting back into silence, frightened. Should she ask for help? What if something was terribly wrong with her? "...Commaflower, would you mind looking at me again when you're done with Alderstar? I feel sick, I don't know if I have a fever or what." 23:38, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar ignored Commaflower's advice... he would do the ceremonies whether she liked it or not. Nodding sleepily at Ashbreeze's response, he fell back into a doze. -- 23:54, September 17, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower finished with Alderstar telling him to rest before heading back to Ashbreeze. "Have you and Alderstar- er um done anything?" She asked quietly. The molly eyed her, mostly her stomach. "If so then there's a mighty fine possibility its that your expecting if not then I'd like you to tell me your symptoms." — Ryewhisker
 23:54, September 17, 2016 (UTC) 
She partially choked on her own tongue. "Doing any- StarClan no!" Ashbreeze's eyes grew wide, despite her exhaustion. "My stomach hurts, my entire body hurts...but I also feel kind of hungry...and tired...and, uh, 'moody'." 00:07, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
Featherflight decided to go out and do some hunting! Wow, hunting was so great! She picked up the scent of mouse. She tasted the air. She was downwind. She followed it and spotted it nibbling a seed. She paused, bunching her muscles then sprang. She missed it by a whisker, it darted away under a tree root. She hissed. "Mouse-dung!" ~Patchfeather~ 00:21, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower raised a "brow". "Your moody?" She said doubt in her voice. Shaking it off, she poked around around Ashbreeze's stomach and flank. "Have you eaten anything bad?" She questioned. The molly turned around and dug out some poppy seeds, catmint, and borage..just in case. (I totally ship AlderBreeze) — Ryewhisker
 00:44, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
"Well, no. I haven't eaten anything bad." She was beginning to get worried.---- Morningkit had finally awakened, raising her head to let out a pitiful mew. 00:51, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower felt a smile tug at her lips before talking lowly. "Then I am happy to tell you there's a mighty fine possibility both Alderstar and yourself will be welcoming a few bundles of joy or it could just be a cold. If it is I'll need you to take some catmint and poppy seeds to help with the pain. — Ryewhisker
 00:57, September 18, 2016 (UTC) 
Lavapaw gave Morningkit a lick on the forehead. Why was she mewing? Was she just testing her voice? was something wrong? everything was fine, she was worrying too much. ---- Featherflight trampled around, angerily searching for more prey. ~Patchfeather~ 01:00, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
Her hackles rose. They were having....kits? Ashbreeze glance at the leader, praying that he hadn't heard. Oh Starclan, what would her father think?! "I...I..."---- Morningkit purred at her mother's touch before opening a single eye. 01:04, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower nodded before speaking again. "I'm here if you need to talk or need help. Also I suggest telling Alderstar before it shows. He deserves to know." — Ryewhisker
 01:07, September 18, 2016 (UTC) 
She shifted nervously before nodding slowly. "I'll...I'll tell him." She secretly wondered how far along she was, or when this even happened...or if they were even his. Ashbreeze would definitely wait a while to inform Alderstar, just in case she was really just getting ill, and not really pregnant. 01:17, September 18, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern, later, lashed her tail against the ground. She knew something was wrong, but she didn't know what or who was the victim and the cause. She sighed, overthinking situations and questioning the cause and those involved. 09:17, September 21, 2016 (UTC)
Mapleflower had given birth to two healthy kittens; a tortoiseshell she-kit she'd named Leaflit and a white tom with a tabby striped tail she'd named Birchkit. The primarily black queen smiled down at her kittens. Although her mind was on where her mate was. — Ryewhisker
 01:32, September 25, 2016 (UTC) 
Awkwardly, Ashbreeze wandered off to go to bed.---- Windstorm awkwardly approached Bloomfur. 10:35, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
Bloomfur waved her tail at Windstorm. "Hello," ---- Featherflight lay outside the warriors den. She sighed. Lately, the thought of her family bothered her. She had never met them, where were they? what happened? were they even Clan? 13:40, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
Windstorm went silent, looking down at his paws. They told him to walk away nervously, but...his heart said differently? "Uh...you wanna go hunting?"---- Morningkit had finally opened her kitten-blue eyes, and was busying herself outside with countless odd things. She rolled pebbles and giggled, chased flies, and did other stupid things that seemed absolutely pointless, yet amusing to watch. 20:38, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
(Mink, I would've appreciated a little more notice with the Sedgeflower kits' birth .-. anyways) Leafkit dozed by her mother. ---- Sedgefrost was out hunting... and was rather distracted. ---- Alderstar was still sleeping. (I need to do some ceremonies...) -- 22:45, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
Bloomfur nodded. Her face felt hot and her heart pounded. Why Windstorm, of all cats? she had always had a bit of a crush on him... she didn't know if she could... be around him... Don't make yourself look stupid, Bloomfur. "Okay," she mewed, rising to her paws. "I know a good place to catch mice." But no matter what, she would never pass down the chance to hunt. ---- Lavapaw lie outside the nursery, snoozing in the sun. Every few moments she opened her eyes to check on her noisy kits.
Sandpaw returned from hunting with Fernpaw beside him. They dropped their squirrels on the fresh-kill pile. Fernpaw seemed pretty normal, until his gaze landed on Lavapaw. He was truly hurt by her, even if she didn't know he loved her. But now, instead of feeling the flutter in his chest he used to feel when he laid eyes on her, he felt nothing, only resentment. How dare she have a half-clan relationship? how could she be so disloyal? 22:52, September 27, 2016 (UTC)
After napping restlessly, Ashbreeze approached the leader, nervously prodding him with a paw to wake him. "Hey, um...i-I'm heading home..."---- Windstorm grinned, confused as to why he was so nervous around her. "Great! You lead." 00:26, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar's eyes blinked open. "...Huh?" His gaze then rested on Ashbreeze... she must be leaving. He felt a pang of sadness in I'm at this - oh dear. "...Okay then," the tom mewed softly, blinking a few times. "...Hope you have a safe journey home."-- 00:29, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze kept her gaze on him, nodding slowly. "Al-Alright, thanks...especially for saving me 'n all." Perhaps....perhaps he wouldn't be a terrible father after all? Not like she didn't think he would be, but...ah, whatever. "...Get better soon." With a little wave of her tail, the pale tabby trudged out of the Medicine Cat's den, out of camp, and back home. 00:33, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar nodded as Ashbreeze left. She was gone now. For a moment he paused, watching her leave, before sighing and bending over his tabby pelt. He'd better go and do those ceremonies that needed doing. -- 00:36, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Mistcloud and Panthershade were having yet another long and pointless argument over the dumbest of things, when the spotted warrior looked up in surprise to see Windstorm...with a she-cat. What? Were they going hunting? And without Panthershade?! Clearly, something was up...and he didn't like it. 00:38, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
After deciding the final details for the ceremony, Alderstar called his Clan together. Once they had gathered and fallen silent, he called Lavapaw and Magpiepaw up. Both of them needed their warrior names. Lavapaw had her kits to look after, but... he didn't see that as a bad thing. He still had his apprentice name when Poppyfern gave birth to his kits, right? "I, Alderstar, leader of ScorchClan, ask my warrior ancestors to look down on these two apprentices. They have learnt the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Lavapaw, Magpiepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!"
"Then by the power of StarClan, I give you your warrior names. Magpiepaw, from today you will be Magpieheart, and Lavapaw..." He hesitated as he looked at the young she-cat, "...you will be Lavaspark. StarClan honors your determination and courage, Lavaspark, and Magpieheart, StarClan honours your loyalty and kindness. Both of you, we welcome you as ScorchClan warriors." He paused, letting the Clan cheer for the new warriors, before calling Shellheart's kits up.
"Bramblekit, Leopardkit, and Willowkit, you have reached the age of six moons. Now it is time for you to become apprentices. You shall be known as Bramblepaw, Leopardpaw, and Willowpaw, and your mentors will be Eagletalon, Scorchflame, and Emberflare. May each of these cats pass their knowledge on to you." (so hard to find mentors rn with all these apprentices wow) -- 00:53, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
(-taps brams- eagleflash spawn ;)) Aspenferm flicked her tail, watching Riverpaw glance at Brambleheart. The tabby deputy noted his crush on the brown warrior - it was obvious based upon how he acted around her. Eagletalon, meanwhile, nodded his thanks and approached his new apprentice. 00:57, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
(yes, miss storkver, i'm getting to that ;P) (also I ship riverxbramble yesyesyes) Emberflare pricked his ears, and approached his new apprentice nervously. Scorchflame approached more confidently. Meanwhile, Flashdusk was ordering Eaglesoar out of camp. -- 01:00, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
(tip tap) Aspenfern shook her head and thought about her own relationships with others, casually acknowledging her lack of romantic interest in anyone 01:07, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Lavaspark held her head high. Now she was a warrior! She'd ask Featherflight to watch her kits as she sat vigil. A web of sadness still hang in her head. She missed Graypaw. Had he gotten his warrior name? how were the kits? She shook her head, pushing the thoughts away. She had to worry about being a good warrior and her kits, in her clan right now, not the past. She let her gaze drift to Featherflight, who had watched the ceremony a few tail-lengths away.
Featherflight sighed and padded over to Lavaspark. "It's like your calling me," she huffed. Lavaspark nodded. "Watch my kits, please?" Featherflight nodded. "Fine. Just don't call me with your eyes anymore, it's weird."
Bloomfur led Windstorm out of camp. Just stay calm! she kept telling herself, though she was shaking so much she was sure all the prey in the forest could hear her. Why couldn't she just be calm? 02:21, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
All three siblings stood with wide eyes during their ceremony. Once the Clan's cheering had died down, Bramblepaw turned to Eagletalon with a sincere, solemn look on her face before respectively touching her nose to the brown tom's. Leopardkit eyed her mentor, the cat who'd left ScorchClan. Was she even loyal? Leopardkit hesitantly touched her nose to Scorchflame's, just barely before she backed away. Willowkit watched her golden sister before shaking her head. Leopardkit always was one to judge another's loyalty. The pale silvery-grey molly touched nose to Emberflare's nose softly.
Mapleflower watched as Birchkit slept, for some odd reason she felt as though Sedgefrost would be fond of the tiny tom. Leafkit reminded Mapleflower of herself. Her tortoiseshell pelt and all. — QueerSquad
 14:17, September 28, 2016 (UTC) 
Windstorm awkwardly licked his shoulder fur as he walked along, following Bloomfur at a steady pace. 20:00, September 28, 2016 (UTC)
Eagletalon nodded and murmured, "I'll train you to be the best you can be, both for our Clan and for the world to see." He wasn't sure if that made sense, but...he always silently told himself that, and that was his inspiration, wanting it to be passed...he twitched his ears and sighed. My advice is sometimes only good for myself. 08:35, September 29, 2016 (UTC)
Bloomfur led the way to a large beech. The roots stuck out of the ground, and beneath the roots were tiny mouse-holes. She could already scent them. 
Lavaspark sat her vigil, while Featherfrost padded over to the nursery to watch her kits. 14:03, September 30, 2016 (UTC)
Brambleheart, meanwhile, noted Riverpaw's behavior around her, sighing and shaking her head. Ivyshade, you should've showed me. 01:00, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
Windstorm pricked his ears in interest as the scent of mouse wafted past his nose. Dinner time for Windstorm! 14:57, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
Eventually, after much effort, the tortoiseshell warrior forced Eaglesoar out of camp. Eaglesoar looked irritated, Flashdusk nervous. They were friends, yes... but Flashdusk wasn't sure how the tom would react to... this. "Eaglesoar..." -- 20:52, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern, having given up on her questioning, yawned and pushed herself off the ground. She was tired - she hadn't been able to concentrate recently. Sighing, she headed towards the warriors' den to sleep. 21:12, October 1, 2016 (UTC)
Blossomheart was going at a quick pace, and once she reached the river she said, "Ok, we're here,"and then said,"Panthershade fell in here. I had to help him." She said it, expecting the apprentices to be impressed. -Attack cat
Riverpaw flicked his tail. "...I heard that Eagletalon also fell in here, but...he was apparently wounded..Aspenfern told me." The tom flicked his tail: he was thinking about Brambleheart, and he felt guilty about thinking about her. Why is it her? Why can't it be someone who isn't just...someone I actually could have a chance with..? 01:39, October 4, 2016 (UTC)
"Yes, right,"Blossomheart said. "You seem distracted, Riverpaw. What's bothering you?" She looked slightly knowing, as if she already knew the answer. -Attack cat
Morningkit was making her way out of the nursery for one of the first times. Finally, after all this time, after all this struggle! 19:57, October 5, 2016 (UTC)
Riverpaw flinched and flattened his ears. "Uhm, nothing." Aspenfern, meanwhile, having taken her nap, stretched and wondered about her family for a moment. 18:12, October 9, 2016 (UTC)
(doing some ceremonies that should've been done lol) Alderstar summoned his Clan together - the tom having to do some more ceremonies for his Clan. "Cats of ScorchClan, today we have three new warriors to name." Beckoning for Fernpaw, Sandpaw, and Loachpaw to come forward, the leader stated the ritual words: "I, Alderstar, leader of ScorchClan, ask my warrior ancestors to look down on these three apprentices. They have learnt the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Fernpaw, Sandpaw, Loachpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!"
"Then I grant you your warrior names. Fernpaw, you shall be known as Fernclaw. StarClan honours your loyalty and courage. Sandpaw, from this moment you will be known as Sandtail. StarClan honours your diligence and kindness. Finally, Loachpaw, you shall be known as Loachheart. StarClan honors your enthusiasm and spirit. To all three of you, we welcome you as full warriors of ScorchClan." With that, the Clan broke into cheers, before Alderstar silenced them again, beckoning now for Shellheart to come forward.
"Shellheart has asked me whether she can retire from her duties, and I will grant her this. Shellheart, is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go to join the elders?"
"It is."
"Your Clan honors you for the moons of service ypou have done to us. In the elders' den, I hope that StarClan can grant you many moons of rest." Alderstar, finishing his words, let the Clan cheer for Shellheart before dismissing the meeting and leaping down from the Meetingwhatever. -- 18:31, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
Fernclaw and Sandtail beamed with pride when the Clan cheered their names. After the meeting broke up, they went to sit by the camp entrance to begin their vigil. 
Bloomfur scented... rabbit! She spotted the brown creature nibbling a grass seed. She tensed, waiting for it to draw closer, then sprang. She landed just a whisker away from it's tail. At once it sprang up and bolted away. But Bloomfur wasn't done yet. She tore after it, ripping up clumps of earth in her wake. Out of nowhere, when her paws landed on the ground in one of her strides, the earth gave way. She let out a yowl and fell into an old rabbit tunnel, earth quickly covering her back up. "Help!" 19:30, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
Windstorm had split off, stalking down a blackbird, and then it...suddenly flew away. He pricked his ears, hearing Bloomfur's distant calls for help. "Bloomfur, I-I'm coming!!" Turning, the silver tabby warrior raced away in the female warrior's direction. (Brams, I'll have Ash showing up in a bit to inform Alder. <3) 20:16, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
Bloomfur opened her eyes at Windstorm's voice, but quickly closed them again when dirt fell into them. Please hurry Windstorm! she thought, thrashing as the earth began to fill her nose and mouth. 21:43, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
"Ok, if you're sure," Blossomheart said, but there was a slightly mocking gleam in her eye. I bet it's Brambleheart. "Let's go back," As they reached camp she say the new warriors beginning their vigils. "We missed the ceremony!" Sighing, she padded over to the fresh-kill pile. "Are you hungry?" she asked. -Attack cat
('kay, whiskers :D) Eaglesoar looked tetchy as he passed the warriors' den, outside of which Flashdusk sat outside with Scorchflame. The ginger she-cat looked over at Eaglesoar, who was exiting camp. "...Is he coping with it?" Flashdusk shgrugged. "I don't know. I just don't think he wants..." The queen fell silent, lapping awkwardly at her stomach. (oh storkverrrrr >;D) -- 04:49, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
(xD -fires a cannon-) Aspenfern wondered about FlameClan and questioned why so many of her clan had gone...There's plenty of chances for success here. 09:56, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
Minkpaw hadn't trained a single bit since she'd been made an apprentice. Especially with Panthershade refusing to train her. She made her way to Alderstar's den. Maybe this would teach Panthershade for being a lacky! "Alderstar!" She called seeing the tom.
Spiderpaw watched as her sister and troublesome friend went to Alderstar. she then turned her gaze to Sandtail.

Sandtail stiffened while he sat on his vigil. Something was watching him. His gaze flickered around the world outside camp. He couldn't see anything. He looked to Fernclaw beside him, who was trying to stay awake. He clearly didn't notice anything. 16:12, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar's ears flicked. "What is it?" the tom mewed irritably. ---- Scorchflame's gaze softened, and then she whispered in Flashdusk's ear: "At least they'll have a father... unlike my daughter, who'll probably never meet hers." Sh said it so softly that no cat but Flashdusk would hear - no other cat knew of Scorchflame's daughter except the two of them - and Hirondelle, of course. Flashdusk nodded. "True, that." -- 18:14, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
Minkpaw sauntered into his den with a confident look upon her mostly white face. The two ginger patches and one black patch were all on top of her head and near her eyes. The calico apprentice cleared her throat before speaking. "I've come to you because my mentor refuses to train and I've had no training. The other mentors are all too busy with their families or apprentices to help train. Might I be able to request a new mentor?" She asked.
Phoenixpaw rested aside her brother, Winterpaw, just outside camp. They'd been sent out by Darkspirit and Ashflame to hunt for the queens and elders and now that they had done just that they rested beside a tall oak tree. "Hm..I wonder how Minkpaw and Spiderpaw are faring?" She questioned her brother.
"Who knows, probably causing trouble wherever they be." He repied. The white tom grinned. — QueerSquad
 19:38, October 12, 2016 (UTC) 
Ashbreeze, exhausted from all of the travelling, and secretly carrying kits, finally pushed her way into ScorchClan's camp. The travel had taken her longer than usual, but she was undoubtably tired, so who could blame her?
Eyes round with terror as he glanced down at the practically drowning Bloomfur, Windstorm quickly dipped his head down, struggling to grab the warrior's scruff. Once he got her, he immeidately forced himself backwards, struggling away from the collapsing hole as fast as he could. 19:54, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
Bloomfur did her best to try and help Windstorm by scrabbling her paws on the crumbling earth. At last, they won the battle with the ground and Bloomfur lie on the ground on her side, panting. "You saved me... thank you..." she murmured, eyes wide trailed off. 20:21, October 12, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar looked annoyed. "...If I question Panthershade, and if he is indeed not training you, I will give you a new mentor," the leader mewed gruffly. "Find him and tell him I'll speak to him about it later... I smell FlameClan." Dismissing the apprentice, he padded out of his den, seeing Ashbreeze. "Ashbreeze!" ---- Flashdusk and Scorchflame continued to mutter to themselves. ---- Leafkit looked for a warrior to sneak up on and surprise. -- 06:07, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
Upon seeing the leader, the pale tabby molly approached swiftly. "Alderstar! I-I...- We need to talk." 10:39, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
Minkpaw nodded before leaving. She passed Ashbreeze and rushed to Panthershade. "Alderstar will be speaking with you later, Panthershase." She told the smoke tom. Maybe he'd learn not to be like he is.
Birchkit yawned as he opened his soft blue eyes. Where was Leafkit? Mapleflower lay in her nest barely breathing. The queen had caught a horrible sickness, Commaflower had told her it was greencough. The medicine cat strode in at that. She carried catmint. "Here take this," she said before striding to the other queens. — QueerSquad
 11:56, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
Windstorm couldn't help but to give the warrior a small grin. "...Any time."---- Panthershade simply grunted in annoyance. He wouldn't train an apprentice who held no respect for him. 17:45, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar looked concerned at the she-cat's words. ...Something's up. "Right now?" ---- Sedgefrost came into camp, carrying some prey in his jaws. He was unsuspecting of her, so his tortoiseshell tabby daughter ran towards him, and jumped at him. "I caught you!!" -- 18:18, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
"I-If you're avalible right now, if not, I totally understand!!" She spoke nervously, although she attempted to hide it. Secretly, Ashbreeze almost wished that he would claim that he was busy, as she feared how he'd react. But he'd have to learn about their soon-to-be-born kits at some point. 18:22, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar shook his head. "No, I'm free now, we can talk." ---- Sedgefrost dropped his prey on the fresh-kill pile, before looking down to see his daughter. "Yes, you did," the tom purred. "You caught me." -- 18:44, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze felt her stomach tense in fear as he agreed to speak with her at that moment. "O-Ok then...mind if we stroll out of camp. I promise to not get...practically devoured by a fox this time." 18:53, October 13, 2016 (UTC)
An amused look crept onto Alderstar's face. "Okay," he purred. "Let's go then." -- 03:18, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
Nodding, the warrior led her betrothed out of camp, gaze on the ground the entire time. Once out of earshot, she finally spoke. "I..I'm, um...not...not sure how it happened..." 03:41, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar blinked blankly, suddenly suspicious. "What's happened...?" ---- Flashdusk retreated into the nursery, just as Eaglesoar padded back into camp. -- 07:06, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
She wasn't sure how to put it. She had thought over and over how she'd tell Alderstar, but all those plans seemed to have...suddenly disappear. Rats! "Well...things, er, life I guess..." Ashbreeze drug her paws against the blades of grass, trying to think. "I'll just be straight-forward with you: I'm not sure how you'll react, and it honestly frightens me." 20:52, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
"...Okay..." Alderstar mewed uneasily. Tle leader felt worried now. Something had happened... oh dear. -- 22:10, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
His response wasn't really reassuring, but it didn't make her feel much worse either. "Okay..." Ashbreeze took in a deep breath, tail swishing against the ground in a nervous manner. "I-I've a feeling you won't be too happy, but...well, I'm expecting kits. Your kits, and I'm not sure how, nor can I remember...er, anything." 22:13, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
At Ashbreeze's words, Alderstar felt the group dip from underneath him. What...? The leader looked up, speechless, a mix of enotions running through his head. He wasn't really sure whether to be happy or angry with this... but these were his kits... "Oh, wow..." the tabby cat mewed faintly. -- 22:35, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
At once, the FlameClan she-cat backed away, afraid. She wasn't sure of what she was scared, but she was, nonetheless. "I-I'm sorry, I-I wasn't planning on having kits, at least not any time soon. H-Honestly...!" 22:42, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
"It's - it's okay," Alderstar mewed heavily. "I was just... surprised." ---- Back at camp, Eaglesoar slunk into the warriors' den. -- 23:04, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
"...Me too," Ashbreeze looked at her paws. She wasn't sure if she should say anything else...and she didn't really know what to do. And what would her father think? "...Um, what do I do?" 23:06, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar paused. "What do you mean, 'what do I do?'" ---- Flashdusk fell asleep in the nursery, while Scorchflame went out of camp. -- 23:17, October 14, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze shuffled her paws. "Well, I've never had kits before, and my parents...- Heck, I don't even know where to live: there, or here. When I get closer to exploding, I won't be able to travel." 00:22, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar nodded silently. He knew Ashbreeze's words were true... The leader sighed. "..That is a good question... and I think that, when you're ready, you need to talk to Stormstar about it." A pause. "...This is very complicated." The leader's head was still spinning - he'd be a father again. ---- Speaking of fathers, Eaglesoar was about to become one. Flashdusk had started her kitting back at camp, and the tom was reluctantly waiting for the call that the she-cat was done. He wasn't ready for this... at all. -- 00:45, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze let out a small sigh, letting her gaze fall onto the ground. "...You're telling me. At least you don't have to tell my father...he'll skin me alive. Maybe I should just run away and join my sister as a kittypet for a while." She grunted sarcastically, for never would she become a kittypet. 00:48, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar picked up Ashbreeze's sarcasm, do he didn't touch on the second half of the question. Personally, he was surprised that Ashbreeze's sister - daughter of Stormstar - would become a kittypet, but... "Yeah, I don't see him being too happy about that... oh dear." ---- After a while, Flashdusk finished her kitting, and Eaglesoar got called in (too lazy to go through the whole process). Flashdusk was half-asleep, and beside her were two kits - a dark brown tabby and a black-and-white she-cat. The tom blinked at his kits in disbelief. They're smaller than I thought... -- 00:54, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
"Regardless, there is a treaty...and my father keeps his word." She nodded slowly. "...But I still don't know what I'm going to do. Heck, I don't even know how to raise kits properly, or what I'm going to tell them when they're born... 'oh, it's ok, you're only half clan.'." 00:56, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
"Stormstar will keep his word," Alderstar mewed, nodding firmly, "and I will also keep my part for my Clan." He then paused, thinking about the second half of what Ashbreeze had said. "It's okay, Ashbreeze, you'll be fine..." However, his voice trailed off slightly, as he was suddenly reminded of his parents. Oh great, now he knew how they felt when they had him and his littermates. ---- Flashdusk's head raised slowly. "Our kits," she whispered. "You can name one, Eaglesoar, if you want..." To the she-cat's surprise, the tom shook his head, and the queen sighed. "Fine, I'll name them both..." She bent over her kits, thinking -- 01:02, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
"Yeah....it'll be ok..." She echoed his words, although unsure if they were true. They could only try to make things work, right? Ashbreeze also worried about how their kits would feel when they learned that she and Alderstar never became mates out of love like most parents...they became "mates" out of duty. She shifted uncomfortably. "If you don't mind, could we head back to camp? I'm getting some cramps, and it sucks." 01:05, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar nodded. "Uh, okay." The leader stretched slightly as he got up from his sitting position, before waiting for Ashbreeze to signal that she was ready. ---- Flashdusk made her mind up. "The tom - the one that looks like you - is Heronkit... and the she-cat, the black-and-white one... Storkkit." The tortoiseshell then rested her head back on the moss again, exhausted. ---- Heronkit curled into his mother's side, falling asleep. -- 01:10, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze stepped forward, making her way back to camp. She'd probably have to tell her father as soon as she got home, which would probably be a in a few days...she didn't want to leave him in the dark, although she feared his response. 01:14, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar walked back with Ashbreeze. ---- Flashdusk fell asleep, so Eaglesoar left the nursery. ---- Storkkit slept away from her bigger brother. -- 01:20, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze waved her tail in farewell to Alderstar before hesitantly making her way into the nursery. She should probably get used to the environment, right? 01:26, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Alderstar, meanwhile, went to his dean to take everything in and chill. -- 01:29, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Ashbreeze flopped in the nest, fur prickling with nervousness. The Clan would probably be extremely uncomfortable after finding her in here, they'd know that she was expecting Alderstar's kits. 01:34, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Aspenfern could've sworn she could scent foreign scent, and she flicked her tail nervously. She felt like something wasn't right. Well, then again, this entire treaty has always had its pressure. -- Albatrosskit glanced over at Ashbreeze, his lips curling in disgust as he scented the queen's FlameClan scent. 18:43, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
Redriver was napping, age catching up to her. 
Good morning! You're going to die. 19:30, October 16, 2016 (UTC)
(preparing for end of year exams is not fun) Alderstar gathered his Clan together... a ceremony needed to be performed for some of his cats. New warriors needed to be made... and as some apprentices had passed their warrior assessments, it was time for them to receive their new names. The leader called Spiderpaw, Applepaw, Riverpaw, Winterpaw, Minkpaw, and Fawnpaw forward, and when they had done so, he spoke the ritual words:
"I, Alderstar, leader of ScorchClan, ask my warrior ancesstors to look down on these six apprentices. They have learnt the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Minkpaw, Applepaw, Spiderpaw, Fawnpaw, Riverpaw, and Winterpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!"
"Then by the power of StarClan, I give you your warrior names. Your warrior names - in order - will be Minkclaw, Applestorm, Spiderheart, Fawnear, Riversplash, and Wintersnow. StarClan honours you all, and we welcome you as full warriors of ScorchClan." -- 22:55, October 28, 2016 (UTC)
Riversplash, the new warrior very excited about his ceremony, let out a woop of excitement. Yeah! -- Aspenfern, meanwhile, hadn't been feeling totally well, so she excused herself from beside Alderstar to visit the medicine den. She felt nauseous and needed a rest. 23:00, October 28, 2016 (UTC)
Flashdusk had gone outside to watch the ceremony with her two kits: Storkkit being rather quiet, while Heronkit complained loudly about wanting to be an apprentice. ---- Leafkit played with a leaf. ---- After the ceremony, Eaglesoar padded out of camp. (thinking of ways for him and sedgefrost to die... xP) -- 23:08, October 28, 2016 (UTC)
Commaflower stood as Aspenfern walked into her den. "What is it?" The bitter molly asked. (Insert Sarcasm)Bite Me, Dean! 16:14, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
The deputy shrugged. "Just...haven't been feeling well." She shook her head and sighed. "One of the apprentices must've brought something bad, who knows." Sighing, she closed her eyes. "I'll be fine." 16:31, October 29, 2016 (UTC)
