## Physical Description

Blazingstar is a dark brown tom with amber eyes and a white splotch above his nose, like his mom. He has a paler underbelly with dark stripes. He has short and scruffy fur but on certain places it becomes very long and thick like his cheeks, tail, neck, spine, and under arms. The tip of his right ear is missing due to a fight with his brother, Poolkit, also resulting of the base scaring over his eye. The more deeper scaring, and loss of his eye, is from being impaled by a broken Frisbee which resulted in his first life being taken. He also has a shoulder scar but the frozen ice tearing his skin while he was trying to save Yawkit/paw. Blazingwing is a rather overweight tom who is muscular in some areas like his hind legs. He his also partially deaf and blind in his right eye and left ear due to injuries. He's been given a brown thrasher feather from his daughter, Frondglow, which was originally placed behind his ear but moved to his upper tail.

## Personality

When Blazingstar was younger he was a snarky little kit who liked exploring and getting in trouble with his brothers. He also didn't really care about other's feeling and personal space. After his fight with Poolpaw, his brother, he became a lot more meek and self aware. He became more shy than usually and tried his best to please others. As he grew older he came out of his shell a bit more and became a more friendly guy although still a little awkward towards cats he doesn't know. He needs time to warm up with certain folks but, at home, he's very laid back, somewhat childish, lazy, and seems as if he's tired 24/7- He also has a tendency to rub his neck and fiddle with his long tail in certain moments. Lastly, he has nightmares and small panic attacks due to family deaths, fights, and personal fears/phobias

[redo]

## Skills and Weaknesses

Blazingstar is a better climber than most Riverclan cats, he knows how to get down from a tree and can climb rocks and hills very quickly. He isn't the best hunter but decent on the battlefield. His thick fur acts like a shield so he usually has the least battle scars in the end, but he is also very slow, missing the mark about half the time.

* Fight w/ Poolkit: sometime after November, 2019

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Rp w/ @SpaceyMilk )) Blazzingkit was rolling around in a pile of dust, not really caring about the world

***SpaceyMilk))*** Poolkit prodded his brother. "Blazingkit.." he meowed, glancing to the side.

***WillowheartWarriors))*** (I’m stalking for da drama XD)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit grunted in response, still having his back to the ground

***SpaceyMilk))*** "I like a girl, can you give me some advice?" He scuffed his paws on the ground.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit choked and bolted upwards. "whagh, uhhhh.. i dont know anything about girls... maby, i dont know, play moss ball with her? play around with her? i dont know! who even is this GIRL you talking about?" Blazingkit sputterd

***SpaceyMilk))*** "Well..." Poolkit sat down with a thump, "her name is Swiftkit.." he ended with a lazy smile.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazinkit flicked his ear and gave him a long pause. "well.. i dont know...... like i sayed im bad at this." Blazking kit sayed, having a sharper tone than before

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((Blazking kit)) The dreamy look in his eyes didn't fade. "She's just so pretty..." he sighed.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** \*inhale\*)) "ya, i guess." BLAZINGkit reponded. "w..why do you like her? is it just because of her looks?" BLAZINGkit asked

***SpaceyMilk))*** "No! Of course not! She's so sweet and fun to be around." POOLkit sighed again.

***WillowheartWarriors))*** (Ahhhh, love XD)

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((Shhhh))

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** BLAZINGkit huffed. "i cant deny that. she really is fun to hang around with"

***SpaceyMilk))*** POOLkit smiled. "She's just so-" he breathed out, "amazing."

***starry-skyes))*** ((This is HILARIOUS))

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit stood up and shook his pelt, clearing up the dust. "Amazing indeed... y-you know, your lucky that no one that we know of likes her too. She would be an amazing partner" BLAZINGkit sayd, soulding dead inside and flickering on and off a sad smile, making sure poop-er POOLkit didnt see.

***SpaceyMilk))*** POOLkit blinked, listening to his brothers voice cracks. Suddenly, he stood, his hackles raised. "You like her too, don't you, BLAZINGkit?" He yelled.

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((SHHHH))

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit fluffed out his fur, making his look twice as big. "So what?! what if i do like her?!" BLAZINGkit yelled back ((wana like.. give blazing a scar.... after wards he will be like... very figity and scared... become a ravenpaw 2.0 wth extra worries? :) ))

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((Maybe- :) )) Poolkit hissed. "You can't like her! I like her!"

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "Multiple cats can like someone! JUST because YOU like her dosnt mean you have full control!!" Blazingkit yowled, raising his hackles.

***SpaceyMilk))*** "I don't WANT FULL CONTROL!" Poolkit screamed back, tears pricking his eyes.

***WillowheartWarriors))*** (Boys, boys, settle down XD)

***Apples234))***(K i d s settle down)

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((N o))

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** thats i l l e g a l at this moment :) ))

***WillowheartWarriors))*** A A A A A))

***starry-skyes))*** (If you do that to him I will like him even more ahh-)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** oh dear,))

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "Well right now you sure are acting like it!" Blazingkit hissed. (un?)sheathing his claws and baring his teeth. he growled and took a step forward

***starry-skyes))*** Hehe -Also it would be unsheathing))

***SpaceyMilk))*** "Leave me alone! You barely know her!" His voice cracked, but he matched his brothers step, unsheathing his claws as well.

***XxFormalityxX))*** ((Oakie will break it up, and say "I used to be in a love triangle huehue"))

***xXWolfSoulXx))***"Ohhh, realy? and HOW do you know that?!" Blazingkit growled, digging his claws in the ground and lowering his body. he violently lashed his tail as he gave poolkit a low growl

***SpaceyMilk))*** Poolkit's eyes sharpened as he launched himself forward, slamming into his brother with a snarl.

***xXWolfSoulXx))***Blazingkit rolled back, not knowing battle moves, he flailed his paws, hoping to catch something. Blazingkit then bit whatever part of his brother had landed in his face, sinking his jaws into fur, barley cuting into the skin due to his kit teeth.

***SpaceyMilk))*** He pulled himself away, and battered at his brothers face with claws unsheathed. He caught his cheek, but nothing more. The cut was more like a scrape because of his sharp, but small claws.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** commence me wasting time and energy to draw >:3)) Blazingkit hissed, and backed up. after a small recovery Blazkingkit took a running start at Poolkit and ramed into him, stepping on his brother tail to make them fall back

***Apples234))***I’m here-) “/Kits!/“ Mosslight exclaimed, coming in to check on them. “Stop this right now!” She said, her eyes wide with both anger and worry

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((I just realized that Poolkit needs an official ref ( ° ͜ʖ °)) Poolkit's back hit the ground hard, and he winded himself, ignoring his mother. he rolled over, twisting his tail. He yowled in pain, but yanked himself free. He turned, panting. His eyes were slits as he launched at his brother, clamping his teeth onto his ear and ripping upwards.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** oh hi mom :) )) Blazzingkit rolled away form Poolkit. He was panting hard and wiped his cut, blood threatening to spill. He switched from giving a death glare to his brother to hanging his head to his mother, his claws still unsheathed.

***Apples234))***Mosslight grabbed Poolkit—gently of course, and pried him away from Blazingkit. “Both of you, stop!” She commanded. “What in StarClan’s name is going on here?”

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** oh woops, ignore he other one)) Blazzingkit yowled as a sharp pain rushed to his ear. Blazingkit blindly threw his paws and landed on his brothers shoulder. His dig hard as he brought them down.

***Apples234))***((Hi son :) ))She set Poolkit down, away from Blazingkit. “I’m bringing you both to the medicine cats, but I will have a talk with both of you later.”

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((Bad idea mom :) )) Poolkit screeched as a fiery pain rushed through his shoulders down to his tail. He lowered himself and ran forward, cutting his left shoulder open. He winced, but held strong through it. He yanked on his brothers tail with his teeth, pulling him backwards, and shoved him hard, clawing him over the eye.

***Apples234))***((Bad idea son >:) )) Mosslight then grabbed Poolkit again. “Your dad and grandpa won’t be very happy about this. I’m very disappointed in both of you.” She began to pad out towards the medicine cat den

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** i miss-commented, blazing and pool are still fighting they arent lisning to you, sorry))

***SpaceyMilk))*** Poolkit hissed, his shoulder burning. Three fresh claw marks laid there, bleeding.

***Dikoscare))*** "Poolkit, behave yourself." Paleheart meowed, padding up. He nodded to his mate, and sat in front of Blazingkit. "So, what happened? I'll talk to your brother later."

***Apples234))***She trotted into the medicine cat den, and set him down, making sure to guard him. She began to lick his wounds. “Attacking your brother was very wrong. What happened?”

***SpaceyMilk))*** "I told him I liked Swiftpaw, and I yelled because I realized he liked her too. Then he got defensive, and we fought."

***Apples234))***“Darling, just because you like the same cat doesn’t mean you have to fight.” She paused. “I love you and your brother the same, and I don’t want to see you two rip each other to pieces over Swiftpaw. Love is very complicated, since any cat is open to be caught up in its trap.” She sighed, thinking of Blazingstrike and Dewcloud

***SpaceyMilk))*** "Momma, no," he meowed "I don't love him. I don't love anyone I fight tooth and claw."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** sorry, i had dinner :/)) Blazingkit scoffed, "Poolkit was talking about liking swiftpaw, i went along with it then when he learned i liked her to he started yelling at me and... well, you can see what happend after that.." Blazingkit sayed, looking away

***Dikoscare))*** "Is that really true?" Paleheart lowered himself to his son's eye level.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit looked back at him and pause, tring to remember what happend. "yes...yes i belive so, i might have missed something but thats all i can remember..."

***Apples234))***She put a paw on his shoulder. “Poolkit, I understand you don’t like him. But don’t attack him. Don’t think tooth and claw. Think smart. I think it is best if you two stayed separated. I know how it’s like, to know someone you felt close to, or, something like that, likes the same cat you do.”

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** can i get a ref of pool, im starting to color and i need to know how he looks :0))

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/342251401/ Use the second image :0))

***SpaceyMilk))*** He blinked, nodding. "Okay."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** ok thank you <33)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** are his paws a different collor?))

***Tinyfern))*** (hai i am grandpaw-paw)

***Apples234))***(Hi dad grandpawpapwapwpa)

***Apples234))*** “Good.”

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((No, his paws are the same as his legs))

***Tinyfern))*** (yee i am grandpawpawpawpawpawpaw. and >:O softy be insultin' badgie granpawpawpawpaw)

* Talk w/ Oak:

--

* Depreeso spot: sometime after November, 2019

**XxFormalityxX))** Oakstrike carried Blazingkit on his back into the territory.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit was hanging onto Oakstrike tightly, not liking the height he was at

**XxFormalityxX))** Oakstrike stopped at a small cliff. It dropped down, only a few feet, but wasn't dangerous. He checked the sky again; it was the perfect time. "We're here."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit skidded down Oakstrike's back, landing beside his older brother. "whowh, what is this place?" Blazingkit asked as he glanced down the small cliff.

**XxFormalityxX))** "It's the place where I think about things." He murmured. "You can use it too, if you want." The cliff was dotted with various colors of flowers, which were tinted by a new ray of moonlight. He laid down on the edge, looking up at the stars with a small smile.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** "its...beautiful.." Blazingkit said in awe

**XxFormalityxX))** Oakstrike nodded. “Life is strange... It can be beautiful, heart breaking, enraging, or dejecting...” He paused. “But it doesn’t stay the same.”

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit looked down, wondering if Poolkit was ok...."you sure? that..that things never stay the same? th-that they will change?" Blazingkit asked, his voice faltering and tears starting to form in his puffy eyes.

**XxFormalityxX))** "Of course they will. It always does. You and Poolkit will forgive each other, I promise."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit tried to keep in his tears but couldn't. He broke down beside Oakstrike and nuzzled his brothers leg. his legs soon gave out and he fell to the ground.

**XxFormalityxX))** Oakstrike nuzzled his brother, wrapping a paw around him. "You can tell me everything, if you want to."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit trembled underneath Oakstrike. Blazingkit tried to say something but a sad mumble was the only thing that made it out, he wasn't in the mood for talking. After a few minutes Blazingkit finally managed to squeak a "Thank you" to Oakstrike.

**XxFormalityxX))** (stop crying child, you're gonna make me cry >:( )) Oakstrike nodded, looking back up at the sky. He wished he had something reassuring to say, but he didn't.

* Pale's Death: sometime after November, 2019

--

* Talk w/ Pool: sometime after November, 2019

**xXWolfSoulXx))** uhhhh, rp w/ @SpaceyMilk this will be fun :') )) Blazingkit was practicing his swimming an a nearby pond, it was deep enough to swim in, but was shallow enough that if Blazzingkit stretched his paws he could tough the muddy floor.

***SpaceyMilk))*** "Blazingkit!" Poolkit ran up, tears still in his eyes.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** "w-" Blazzingkit looked from his place in the pool. "what do you want." He answered in a monotone voice.

***SpaceyMilk))*** "Brother, we fought for nothing." Poolkit hissed. "Swiftpaw likes Coalpaw."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit flicked his ear. "but...... i-" Blazingkit cut himself off, looking down with his eyes turning red and puffy

***SpaceyMilk))*** A tear streamed down Poolkit's cheek, but he wiped it away. He walked over to his brother, sat down, and wrapped his tail around him.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit stood frozen for a moment, then nuzzled his brothers, his short height making his shoulder the highest he could reach, he tail curling around his brother's.

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((Pool's tall :) )) Poolkit sat, still crying. "I'm sorry for the fight. Blazing, I really am. No matter what, I love you, you'll always be my brother."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** the difference then XDi have to draw that now)) Blazingkit bursed into tears with his brother "im so sorry, i should has saw the clues.. i love you too...."

***SpaceyMilk))*** ((WhAt aBoUt PoOl'S rEf?)) "It's my fault." he whispered. "I won'y ever fight you again, I promise."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** WhEEzE so you have quick info bits bout him?)) "thank you.. ill do the same.." Blazingkit sayed, choking in his words

***SpaceyMilk))*** (( I mEaN- https://tfc-rp.fandom.com/wiki/Poolkit )) Poolkit fell silent and just nuzzled his short brother.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/353822185/ )) Blazingkit sat their cring, trying to get this twisted truth through his mind

***SpaceyMilk))*** "Blazingkit, i'm sorry." Poolkit choked, crying still.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** "you dont have to be" Blazingkit sayed, stuttering a laugh at the end. "she could only pick one of us, its better that she picked neither.."

***SpaceyMilk))*** "True. We would have been even more at war." He nodded.

* Talk w/ Pale:

***Dikoscare))*** Orp)) Paleheart was tired out from playing with his long-lost siblings. He even saw his mother, Ashspirit. He looked down onto RiverClan wistfully. He missed his four kits, his adopted son, Oakstrike, his mate, Mosslight, and even Badgerstar. He sighed.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** oh helo their father)) Blazingkit, Was having a nightmare about his fathers death. it was only a few moons ago but that day still haunts him. "DAd..dad? no...dad, plEASE NO!!" Blazingkit gaped and stood up in right. he blinked his eyes a bit, tring to tone down the sudden brightness. "where- Hello? anybody their?!" he yelled, hoping for an answer.

***Dikoscare))*** Henlo there son)) "Oh, hello Blazingkit." Paleheart's raspy voice replied. He padded out from the light, and held his paw out. "I missed you."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit spun around, his breath catching in his throught. "dad... dad, your here... im here..." Blazingkit rushed forward and huged his father, taking Palehearts paw with his. "i missed you. i missed you so much" Blazingkit sayed as he tried his best to hold back his tears

***Dikoscare))*** ((AWWW OMG THIS IS SO CUTE)) "I missed you too, little one." Paleheart blinked. "How do I look without my scars?" his eyes looked new and fresh now, without the burden of the scars.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "weird...? you looked s-super scary to those evil cats...." Blazingkit sayed honestly, his laughing soon turning to a subtle cry. "It showed that you could protect us.."

***Dikoscare))*** "Shh, shh, don't cry Blazingkit. I can still protect you. Just not like I used to. You can always visit me here, and i'll always be right by you." Paleheart nuzzled his son.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** put that quote in the wiki, its so freaking pure :0))"p-promise? promise that you will never leave me....leave us?" Blazingkit sayed, trying to catch his breath

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** im sorry but like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ofCZObsnOo it fits so perfectly :'/))

***Dikoscare))*** Yesss <3)) "Blazingkit, I promise. Calm down." Paleheart licked his son.

### Apprenticeship

* Made App to Oakstrike: January 3, 2020

***Tinyfern))*** Badgerstar leaped onto the River Ledge. “Let all cats old enough to swim gather here below the River Ledge for a clan meeting!” he called.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** que the angsty teenager tenancies)) Blazing, dashed out of his den, and hoped on his paws in exitment. Finely! he was going to be an apprentice!! He tried to contain himself and smooth down his thick fur at the same time, both were not going so well.

***XxFormalityxX))*** Oakstrike bounded up to Blazingkit, a huge, proud grin on his face.

***Clover-star))*** Hawkkit came over to watch the ceremony of the cat he very much disliked.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingkit nuzzled his 'brother" and returned the smile. "do i look decent?! .... w-what if its someone i didnt want?! w-what if their mean?! W-what i-if...." Blazingkit panicked

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** when he's nuzzling Oak:)) Blazingkit glanced over at the kit and flicked his ear disapprovingly

***XxFormalityxX))*** "Don't worry! I'm sure whoever you get will treat you very nicely. And of course, you're always adorable." He licked down a tuft of fur that was sticking up on Blazingkit's head.

***Clover-star))*** XD) Hawkkit felt himself frowning, then turned his head so no one could see the distaste on his features.

***Sarah\_Coding\_6))*** time for sarah-spam >:) )) Hickoryfrost had just returned from a patrol and quickly wolfed down the rest of her trout. She swept away the bones and hurried over for a front spot in the ceremony.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "heh, im sorry... im just super hyped for this" Blazingkit said, letting out a shaky breath

***XxFormalityxX))*** "I understand. I remember my apprentice ceremony, I was exactly like you." Oakstrike gave a small chuckle.

**Apples234))** Mosslight padded over, knowing that this was her son's ceremony

**Tinyfern))** (Yayy!!!) “Blazingkit, step forward.”

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit took a death breath and hesitantly stepped forward.

**Tinyfern))** “Blazingkit, from this moment on you shall be known as Blazingpaw. Oakstrike will be your mentor.”

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingkit noded, and tuned towards Oakstrike, a wide smile and bright eyes plastered on his face. He touched noses with him and his smile grew.

***XxFormalityxX))*** (Yessss) Oakstrike touched noses with Blazingpaw, having the same smile on his face. (HHhh I gtg, but will you be on tomorrow?)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** ya, might take a while because their is a password on my computer that i dont know soo :/)) Blazingpaw felt a tightening feeling in his through, as his eyes became puffy with tears.

***XxFormalityxX))*** Oof ;-;))

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** t h e w h o l e s o m e n e s s-))

***XxFormalityxX))*** (("Blazingkit took a death breath" what--- also I gtg :") cya tomorrow uwu <3))

* Fight w/ Hawk:

--

* *BlazingXRaven Moment:*

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw moved aside a bush for Ravenflight. " Oakstrike showed me this place when i.. When i fought with PoolPaw... " he said quietly "i want you to see it.."

**RavenReality))** Ravenflight stepped through the bush. "Okay," she mewed back.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** After a few moments of walking, he stopped on a small cliff. It only went down a few feet, so it wasn't dangerous. The cliff was filled with beautiful flowers, all different colors... Now being tinted by the silver moon, now peeking out from its resting place... Blazingpaw laid down, giving Ravenflight a spot next to him, but not to close. "Oakstrike showed my this and... It always takes my breath everytime..." He said, curling his

**RavenReality))** Ravenflight gasped, her eyes filled with wonder. She slowly lay down next to him, turning her head to catch every little detail. "Wow," she breathed. "I never found this! It's beautiful!"

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw fiddled with his paws as he didnt know what to say, making him just smile at his paws while a slight blush found its way through. He flexed his claws as he glanced at the stars. "Do you ever wonder whats it like up their? To see our home from above?" He asked, looking at Ravenflight.

**misty-raven)** Ravenflight laughed. "Yeah. Yeah, I do. Wouldn't it be funny if cats could go to the moon one day?" Ravenflight pointed with her tail to the large, shinning white orb in the sky.

**XxFormalityxX))** ((Blazingraven))

**starrymidnightskies))** ((SHIP-))

**XxFormalityxX))** ((\*spams ship button\*))

**Sarah\_Coding\_6))** ((hear me out- ravenblaze. It's beautiful.))

**XxFormalityxX))** ((That would indeed be true.))

**misty-raven))** ((wait I like that better))

**Sarah\_Coding\_6))** really? thanks :3 ))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** kjgfa, sorry ^^')) Blazingpaw laughed, putting his paw to his mouth. "yea.. yea, that would be pretty funny" He said, subconsciously curling his tail around both of them.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** \*inhale\*))

**misty-raven))** "MoonClan!" Ravenflight rolled over on her back, gazing up at the heavens. "It's honorable leader, Blazingstar! And his loyal deputy, Ravenflight!"

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw's face flushed and set his head down. "naw, They should have you for their leader, RavenSTAR.." He joked, licking her cheek.

**misty-raven))** "No, YOU should be their leader" Ravenflight purred, leaning into Blazingpaw. "Hey, what do you think your warrior name will be anyways?"

**xXWolfSoulXx))** \*que me frantically scrolling down the Suffixes list\*)) "uhhh, i dont know actually, although i kinda like Blazingheart, Blazingscar, and Blazingsun" He said, shrugging.

**misty-raven)) (**(lol))) "What about...Blazingheart is nice...hm." Ravenflight thought for a moment. "What about Blazingtail? Or Blazingnose!"

**xXWolfSoulXx))** "Or i could be Blazingwing-" he said, turning towards Ravenflight "-so our names could.. kinda? match."

**misty-raven))** "Yeah! Blazingwing is a great name!" Ravenflight purred. "Ravenflight and Blazingwing. Blazingwing and Ravenflight. The Raven has a Blazing Wing during Flight."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw yawned approvingly "yea, just like that..." Blazingpaw smiled, drifting off. "lets stay here for the night" He said, already half asleep.

**Apples234))** (Y’all have Mossy’s approval >:) ))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** \*WhEeZe\* ohmygh, thank you almighty mother >0<))

**misty-raven))** ((ohmigosh nO WAY THANKY!)

**misty-raven))** Ravenflight yawned and muttered something along the lines of "Yeah, sure thing" or "You're cute". She stretched and curled into a ball, leaning into Blazingpaw's body.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blaingpaw, tightly wounded his tail around both of them, making a warm bundle of black and brown fur as the moon and its's stars ascended and the snow began to fall. ((end RP?))

**misty-raven))** ((sure. When they wake up...they're gonna be covered))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** heheh, they sure are XD))

**misty-raven))** ((we only need two more roleplays for crushes.....

**xXWolfSoulXx))** we're. so. close.))

**misty-raven))** ((quick start another one))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** yes mam))

### Adult Life

* Made Warrior: Febuary 21, 2020

**Tinyfern))** Badgerstar leaped onto the River Ledge. “Let all cats old enough to swim gather here below the River Ledge for a clan meeting!” he called.

**xXWolfSoulxX))** yesyesyesyesyesssuh, name ideas? https://scratch.mit.edu/studios/3903323/comments/#comments-69160925 )) Blazingpaw practically ran to the river ledge while shaking out the dust in his fur, he couldn't contain himself as a wide grin was plastered on his face.

**Blossomfl0wer))** Havenbriar padded out of the warrior's den to watch the ceremony.

**misty-raven))** Ravenflight's head jerked up. She ran over and sat down, eyes shinning.

**starry-skyes))** Swiftbird sat next to her friend, still a little worried that Coalheart hadn’t shown up by sunset, but trying to keep her worries from influencing the rest of her clan mates.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw, in the front of the crowd, glanced behind him, smiling at the clan mates

**misty-raven))** Ravenflight winked at him.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw flicked his tail in reply

**Tinyfern))** (oooohhhhh yeah, baby!) "Blazingpaw, step forward."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingpaw took a deep but shaky breath and hesitantly stepped forward.

**Tinyfern))** "Blazingpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Blazingwing. Starclan honors your versatility and bravery, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan"

**xXWolfSoulXx))** YES THANK YOU!! <33)) Blazingpaw smiled and puffed up his chest in pride, making him look like a furry porcupine. He nodded/bowed his head in respect and turned towards the crowd, his smile widening.

**Tinyfern))** XDD <3 but.... im sorry i have to do this.. mossy's death rp in camp rn)

* Offical BlazingXRaven sceen:

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing nimbly made his way down a patch of boulders, looking up to wait for Ravenflight. His tail brushed against a patch of snowdrops and he quickly snapped one off for later.

**Misty-raven))** ((I heard my name and came quickly)) Ravenflight followed, seemingly leaving a trail of moonlight in her wake. She leaped and bounded and danced down the boulders to where Blazingwing was standing. A few fireflies danced around them, their presence welcoming New-leaf. Ravenflight smiled.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing's breath hitched when he saw her, momentarily stunned. He shook it of and took the last paw steps through an all to familiar bush. The cliff's vibrant flowers where replaced by slightly duller Snow drops, Pansys, Calendulas, and Winter Jasmine... Waiting a second to take in the view of the Endless Salt lake, he swiftly placed the \*snow Lille near Ravenflights ear. "Remember this place? I brought you here the first time we where together.." He said, looking at Ravenflight, trying to catch her eyes.

**needless2say))** S T A L K )))

**XxFormalityxX))** ((DID YOU SHOW OAKIE’S DEPRESSION SPOT TO RAVEN? >:OOOOOOOO))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** YES, DEAL W/ IT, YOUR GONNA DIE ANYWAY >;'0))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** omg, that sounds mean, dont take it THAT way ^^'))

**XxFormalityxX))** ((I’M NEVER SHOWING YOU ANY SPECIAL DEPRESSION PLACES EVER AGAIN >:OOOO))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** F I N E >:( ))

**XxFormalityxX))** >:((((((((

**Misty-raven))** Ravenflight nodded slowly. Even though she had been there before, it still took her breath away. She gazed at all the beautiful flowers that were beginning to bloom in the clearing. The flowers caught the moon's rays and reflected them onto the cliff walls, making it seem as though the dirt walls were white as snow. The moss was soft and springy in the places where the moss was. The moss then gradually dissolved into cold, hard stone that made a tapping sound when you walked across it. Ravenflight sat down on the stone floor. "So..." She smiled and tilted her head a bit, curious. "What did you want to tell me?"

**xXWolfSoulXx)**) cue cheesy love poem-) Blazingwing's face flushed and he turned to gaze out onto the lake. "ever- ever since we first spent some time together i- i really admired you.. your so cheerful, funny, confident, amazing.." He started, shifting his gaze back to her, a subtle blush on his puffy cheeks. "Your my best friend. Your the person I can tell all my secrets to, and i feel so...happy when im with you... and.. your honestly really important to me...Ever since my parents death, you made me feel whole again.. and... i was wonder if.... if-" He said, trying to finnish. "Raven.. i- your everything to me and... i was hoping if we could stay together like that.. forever" he said, his voice cracking to a whisper as he slid his paw over to hers, their fur barely touching.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** omg, that was so cheesy XD i was cringing while i wrote it, ngtl))

**misty-raven))** ((I LUV IT!))) Ravenflight gasped and turned her head quickly to look at Blazingwing. She was now bathed in moonlight, glowing like a goddess of the night. /HE LIKES ME AND WANTS TO BE WITH ME!/ "Blazingwing," Ravenflight began, reaching out and touching his paw. "You complete me. After my little incident, you gave me the confidence to face the Clan again. You brighten my days and my nights, and I would love, more than anything, to spend the rest of my days with you."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** BLazingwing made the loudest internal sigh he ever though was possible and widened his eyes. /ok, that wasn't a complete failure after all../ "r-really? i never knew.." He answered, not knowing what to say. "im guessing that a "yes" to "Mates"?" he joked, a smile starting to grow on his face and his heart threatening to explode.

**XxFormalityxX))** ((Ngl- Pretty cute... Not as cute as Beechoak, but still cute))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** mhah, the cringey love poem ruined it, didn't it))

**XxFormalityxX))** ((Perhaps))

**xXWolfSoulXx))**  i literally took some random love sentences off of google and just threw some in alongside some weird writing made by yours truly ^^' i mean, i have no experiences in this field what so ever so you cant blame me ig... :'/))

**XxFormalityxX))** ((pLaGiArIsM))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** i KnOW, i wasnt tHiNkInG At ThE TimEE))

**misty-raven))** Ravenflight grinned. "Yes!" Her voice grew squeaky at the end and she flung herself at him.

**XxFormalityxX))** ((REEEEE))

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing lost balance and tripped over a stray rock, his fluffy fur breaking their fall as he caught her between his arm. He laughed and licked behind Ravenflight's ear. "ohhhh, i though this was going  to go horribly wrong, not going to lie!!" He joked.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** \*arms ((or paws, i dont know what to put their tbh ^^'))

**misty-raven))** Ravenflight smiled. "I honestly didn't know what to expect! And it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me!" She let out a long purr. ((lol it don't matter)

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing wrapped his tail around them both and nuzzled her cheek. "/You'r/ the greatest thing that ever happend to /me/" he purred.

**misty-raven))** "I know that," Ravenflight curled up and yawned. "I think I'm going to fall asleep..."

**Kittie\_RP))** {:{ yayz BlazingRaven >:3 }:}

**Tinyfern))** (I FOUND IT)

**xXWolfSoulXx))** woops! lemmi finnish this ^^')) Blazingwings's snorted. "why do you always fall asleep here? ..." he curled up next to her as he watched the fireflys dance by. "Why am i asking... its oviouse.." he said to himself, as he waited for the sun to rise once again.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** HAHA YESS >:D also can you add them to the relationships list ^^ thank!))

**misty-raven))** Ravenflight smiled and curled up, the moon shining down upon the two of them. ((and it's offical!))

**Tinyfern))** (YAY! YESSS IT WOULD BE AN HONOR)

**Tinyfern))** (HALLELUJAH)

* Mossy's death:

* Assigned Lionpaw as App: April 4th, 2020

**Tinyfern))** Badgerstar leaped onto the River Ledge. “Let all cats old enough to swim gather here below the River Ledge for a clan meeting!” he called.

**cowy09))** Ahhh to many Coal needs to go tooooo) Coalheart was proud and there. (ima copy and past this for all my children XD)

**Tinyfern))** (i hath been spammed by thee)

**novastickley551))** shellberry walked up to watch

**tapdancer707))** ((yey ty!)) Lionkit ran up to the River Ledge excitedly.

**Tinyfern))** Yee!)) "Lionkit, step forward"

**tapdancer707))** Lionkit stepped forward. (( If there's an actual thing she's supposed to do I've forgotten lol-))

**Tinyfern))** (sksk hold up getting ur mentor rn)

**xXWolfSoulXx))** i haveth been summoned)) Blazingwing was casually watching from the side

**Tinyfern))** (yeetus)

**Tinyfern))** "Lionkit, from this moment on you will be known as Lionpaw. Your mentor will be Blazingwing."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing looked surprised and hesitantly took a step forward. He quickly shook it off and walked over the the young apprentice, smiling.

**tapdancer707))** Lionpaw, also smiling, touched his nose (( they do that, right? )), purring.

**tapdancer707))** Lionpaw beamed, excitement radiating from her floofy fur.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** pretty sure)) Blazingwing purred back and unsure what to say, he glanced back up to Boom- \*cough\* Badgerstar and nodded his head in thanks.

**tapdancer707))** np! )) "Soooo, when do we start training?" she asked excitedly.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** ahh- so sorry again, had a conference i had to listen to :'/)) "uhhhmm- i guess right now?" He said, smirking at Lionpaw.

**tapdancer707))** it's fine! Some days I just randomly check in like every 5 hours, even if I have a good reason to be on for longer, so... XD)) "Okay!" she chirped, s t i l l excitedly. "Whatever works! If we're not supposed to, I guess I could wait..." She trailed off. "But now is fine too!"

* Had Kits w/ Ravenflight: March 15, 2020

 --

* Pools death (inactivity):

--

* Made Deputy: May 3rd, 2020

 --

* Semi-mentored Primrose:June 12, 2020

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing leaped onto the River Ledge. “Let all cats old enough to swim gather here below the River Ledge for a clan meeting!” he called

**XxFormalityxX))** Primrose stood up from her small corner in the camp, shaking out her ruffled, scruffy fur. She padded over to the meeting, and sat down, near the back of the group.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Anyone you want to wait for? Also sorry, i forget what they say to new comers-)) "Primrose, you have contributed to Riverclan for a few moons now and we wish to welcome you as a full Riverclan warrior if you desire. You will be assigned a mentor to catch you up on our techniques and traditions... and, if you wish of course, we will give you a new warrior name. So... do you have a decision at this time?"

**XxFormalityxX))** ((Just Beechstorm-- And that's okay!)) Primrose looked a bit surprised, as if not expecting her ceremony. She straightened herself up and shook her head. "No thanks. While I do want to be a part of Riverclan, I don't think it would be right of me to betray my former home and take a new name. I will always remember No Clan's Land, but now, I will stay here."

**Blazewing202))** Lynxstone ran over to the she-cat, purring. "Congrats, Primrose." he laughed, touching noses with her. "You're an offical part of RiverClan now!"

**XxFormalityxX))** Primrose shrugged. "I guess." She muttered, flinching away.

**WillowheartWarriors))** Beechstorm was sitting nearby, smiling happily.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing glanced at Beechstorm and gave her a small smile, trying not to interrupt the gathering.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Happily nodding he answered her reply. "Of course.... although would you take a temporary mentor to expand on your skills?" He asked.

**XxFormalityxX))** Primrose hesitated before replying. She knew she was already skilled enough, but it would be nice to have a mentor to teach her about the clans, as long as Blazingwing chose right. “Sure.”

**Blazewing202))** Lynxstone wondered why the she-cat was so jumpy. Usually everyone wanted to touch-noses with him.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** sorry for taking so long- Me and Tiny where talking about mentors)) "Great....For now i'll be your mentor... I hope you learn something new-" He joked, jumping down and touching noses with her briefly before dismissing the clan. "So, wanna start now or tomorrow?"

**XxFormalityxX))** ((It’s okay uwu)) Primrose looked a bit surprised, but quickly hid it. “Today is fine.”

--

* Grandfather and Grandson moment:

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing's eyes shot open, finally free of his nightmare. He refused to move, refused to even breath, for minutes making sure nobody was awake. He signed to himself and shakily stood up, dusting the plants and moss from his ruffled nest. He wobbled out of the warriors den and exited camp through the dirt place, making sure the camp guards didn't notice his leave. He nimble maneuvered through the forest until he found what he was looking for. He snapped the chrysanthemums off from their stems and wrapped them together with a vine hanging from a tree. He then took a different path and stopped at a small patch of smooth land guarded by trees. He rested the bundle of flowers on a small dirt mound and steeped back. "...Hey pops..." He softly said, his voice cracking. "how ya doin..... Today's been.. rough, I had the same nightmare tonight, the same as the past moon..... You know, I wish you where here, wish you could see your grandkids" He continued as he started to shake. "Ivy is shy as always, that poor soul- She's just like me when i was a kit... Tiny, well lets just say hes a problem child.... Fearless has such determination, defiantly from her mother... and Grey? He- Hes such a small been-" He mumbled, chuckling to himself. ".......Why did you have to go? You, Mom, Dew....Pool...Why? Why did Starclan take you away, take you all away....." He mumbled, his voice yet again cracking. "Why couldn't we have spent more time together? Have more of our stupid family moments.... Like- Like Blazingstar of Daddy-headClan and Poolstar of Momm-headClan?... I miss those times we all had together...." He finally fished. He sighed and Shook uncontrollably, hunched over Palehearts small memorial. "why....."

**Tinyfern))** As the morning sunlight pierced through the lichen and the waterfall shielding the entrance of his den, Badgerstar yawned awake. His ears pricked; he was surprised not to hear Blazingwing already outside, assigning patrols. Shaking some moss off his front paw, he shook out his pelt before sticking his head out to scan the clearing. No sign of him. Confused, and a bit worried, he leaped down the rocks to peek into the warrior's den. He couldn't find Blazing there either. Now thoroughly concerned, he padded out of camp, and started calling Blazingwing's name as he unconsciously began to make his way in the direction of the burial place

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing, who cried himself to sleep, heard Badgerstar's call in his sleep. Hearing this, his dream managed to use the sound and created a new scene and turn into something darker. Blazingwing started to frown as it escalated and started to twitch.

**Tinyfern))** Now only a little ways away, Badgerstar could barely hear the sounds of something abnormally brushing against the ground. Quietly, he stalked around the pockets of crackly undergrowth to get to a place he could peek through the bushes, only to find Blazingwing, on his side, faintly convulsing. "Blaze-Blazingwing!" he cried urgently, racing forward to see what was the matter. He was prepared for the worst.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blzingwing's breath quickened as Badgerstar drew close. He subconsciously curled around himself as his face contented(how do ou spell that again?) in fear. After a few dreadful moments he jolted up and screamed, his eyes as thin as they could be. "BADGERSTAR- Ba... " He Glanced at Badgerstar and rushed at him, holding on to him as if his life depended on it. "Please don't leave me-" He mumbled in his fur

**Tinyfern))** (contorted? XD contented means something entirely different-) Badgerstar jumped back when he screamed. "Blazingwing are you hurt?" he demanded, pushing him away a bit to get a better look at him

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Yeayea, yeaaa that XD and yes i know that, it was the only thing auto correct gave me :') )) Blazingwing, who had managed to catch his breath and somewhat calmed down, nodded his head. "Y-yea- im.. fine, just a nightmare-" he mumbled to Badgerstar

**Tinyfern))** (oof XD) He pulled him close immediately, holding him so tightly that it was probable Blazingwing could feel his heartbeat. "You scared me," he growled.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing struggled to hold back his tears as he burried his muzzle in Badgerstar's fur. "Im sorry... Im so. very. Sorry... " He responded. "I couldn't stop it and i- i....". He stuttered, his eyes starting to water.

**Tinyfern))** (migghhhtttt gtg soon ;0; idk. how's furry-paws goin'?) He made a low growl, that served more as a comforting rumble in his chest. Then he sighed. "It's so cold out here- let's get you to a warm nest-"

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Gurd, i still need to do the last quest to become a member tho-)) Blazingwing sniffled and nodded. "Yea... Id like that.. " he said softy, letting his grip on Badgerstar soften.

**Tinyfern))** (qwq we're all stuck on it haha it'll take longer) He led Blazingwing back to camp and to the leader's den, shielding him from some prying eyes around the clearing.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** hhhh-)) Blazingwing wobbled to the leaders den and shuffled in the corner, making space for Badgerstar to walk in. He then laid down and buried his head in his paws.

**Tinyfern))** Badgerstar nudged him over to his own nest, curling around him (spilling s l i g h t l y o u t) to lick his ears.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** i c a n t r e a d t h a t- :'0)) Blazingwing snuggled up to him and tightened his tail around Badgerstar's. "Why'd they have to go..." He mumbled.

**Tinyfern))** (\*\*slightly out XDD) \*forgets if you watched Hamilton yet\* \*cues Eliza moment anyway\* "Sometimes that's how it goes" haha jk)) He sighed, nuzzling the back of Blazingwing's v e r y f l o o f y neck. "Starclan decided it was their time," he responded quietly.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** HHHH I havnt watched it yettt ive only lisend to it :'0 Its on Disney+ rn, right? mMMm m- Much F l o O f)) Blazingwing stayed silent for a moment as a single tear ran down his cheek. "but... I wasn't ready... i wasn't ready to watch them go..." He said in a squeaky voice.

**Tinyfern))** (gtg ;0; might pop on occasionally but yeah ;3) (yasss it is ;0; pleeez watch m'dude it's so good) (yas much floof XD) He murmured quietly, disappointed that there was nothing much he could say that wasn't a lie. "I know. There's nothing I can say."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** hhh- see ya Q-Q)) AhHHhhH I might be able to watch it tomarowww)) Hes on of the kings/queens of floof, his only opponents are Beeflight and Lakestar >;0)) Blazingwing's heart burned inside of him when Badgerstar finished. He nuzzled in deeper into Badgerstar and started to S o B like the smol been his is~

**Tinyfern))** (yasss I hope you'll like/love it) (yas to le floof) (poor baby qwq) Badgerstar purred to comfort him as he licked his ears. After a very long moment's hesitation, he moved to caress his forehead. It was something that would be insignificant to another cat, but to him. He hadn't ever done this to another cat since Mosslight went to Starclan. Tears sprung up in his eyes, but he just turned away so Blazingwing wouldn't need to worry.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Blazingwing, who faintly remembered the significance of this, froze in hopes of not interrupting him. He started to control his breathing as he tilted his head down subconsciously. He ears trembled as he muttered a "Thank you."

**Tinyfern))** Badgerstar gave one last lick before resting his head over Blazingwing's, tears dripping down his face. "You're going to live to be a strong leader. You're going to be at the head of Riverclan for many moons, loved and respected far and wide. You're going to have everything you want in life," he willed fiercely. "I love you, Blazingwing" (awwwwww they've got to be the cutest grandfather/grandson pair ever omg i can't-)

**xXWolfSoulXx))** hhh- dont make me cryy >:''0)) Blazingwing sharply inhaled at his words and let his tear run down. "but... im scared... What if i don't live up to the name.. what if- what if i fail? What if people hate me- I wont be able to do this without you, i can watch you leave me.." He said. "i love you to much for that to happen- you'r one of the only family i have left..."

**Tinyfern))** (welp, it's a bit too late for me QwQ)) "I trust you," he replied. "Not because of whatever decisions you'll make or not make, but because you're you. Your heart and head guide you just fine, and you'll do great. Always." He nuzzled him. "And I won't leave you till you're ready."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** q-q You better put that in his wiki- also, i just listend Dust Bowl Dance and now i want to make a Blazing pmv w/ it)) Blazingwing bit his lip and fluttered eyes, forcing tears back. "promise me..... Promise me than you wont leave till' im ready- Promise" He said, nudging Badgerstar's check back.

**Tinyfern))** (q-q i havent updated since 4 months back-) (wuzzat?) He sighed. The world was so unpredictable. "I'll try," he only promised. (i thought about how i would feel yesterday night if badgerstar died, and- I don't like it :()

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Oh dang ;0)) oh wAiT, that one or "guiding light")) hhh- you cant kill badgie for another 12 months, i wont let you >:0 Badgie must out live all the leaders-)) Blazingwing noded, taking what answer he got. "Please do..." He mumbeld, giving Badgerstar a hug, not even daring to let go.

**Tinyfern))** wdym :0) (and hhh ofc ;w;) Badgerstar let himself be pulled close, then murmured. "Why don't you get some sleep? I'll organize the patrols today."

**xXWolfSoulXx))** oh, guiding light & Dust Bowl Dance are songs by Mumford and Sons which fit somewhat well for a Blazingwing PMV :') )) Blazingwing nodded and loosened his grip on Badgerstar so he could slip out. He curled his lower back in tighter, and wrapped his tail around his t h i c k frame.

**Tinyfern))** (gasp coolio XD) Badgerstar decided to stay with him until he fell asleep. He pressed his flank against Blazingwing's back

**xXWolfSoulXx))** Overtime, Blazingwing became more limp, his breathing slowing. After about 15 minutes, Blazingwing was out, his muzzle snuggled in the fluffy moss.

**Tinyfern))** Badgerstar sighed softly, climbing gently out of the nest. After one last look at his grandson, sleeping peacefully, he left the den to organize the patrols

* 2nd Litter Of Kits: September 12, 2020

* Assigned Yewpaw as App: November 2, 2020

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Yewkit's Apprentice ceremony!) Blazingwing leaped onto the River Ledge. “Let all cats old enough to swim gather here below the River

***Reymus))*** Uhmmm, let's see, Let's wait for Frond, and das it :D)) Yewkit padded out, slightly distasteful of the calling, swimming wasn't his forte. He was still excited though. Today was the day!

***cowy09))*** :D) Frondkit followed Yewkit, not wanting him to leave, and not wanting Patchkit to leave either, but they were her friends, and she wanted them to be happy. "Whats going on Yewkit? Why is daddy calling cats over?" she asked curiously.

***Reymus))*** "I'm becoming an apprentice," he whispered. He was very uncomfortable, not liking being looed at.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "Yewkit step forward"

***cowy09))*** She looked around, seeing all the cats. So. Many. Cats. So. Many. Eyes. And they were all on Yewkit and his siblings. She crouched down as if to hide herself, and unconsciously grabbed Yewkits tail tip.

***Reymus))*** Sorry was leaging, my round lasted longer than I thought)) He did.

***Reymus))*** He let her have it.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** its fine ^^)) "Yewkit, from this day forward you will be known as Yewpaw. I will be your mentor.” He leaped down to touch noses with him.

***Reymus))*** Yewpaw nodded respectfully, and touched noses. "Thank you Blazingwing." he breathed.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "anytime kiddo" He responded, flicking his tail ((i can't start a RP since i have to do school meetings soon but in a few hours i should be free ^^))

***Reymus))*** Aight :D, Imma yeet the boy into the territory :D))

**cowy09))** "Yewpaw!" she squeaked loudly, then quickly looked around and noticed everyone was chanting his name. "You got daddy, you'll be a great warrior just like him" she mewed.

***cowy09))*** "Can I train too daddy?" Frond kit asked curiously.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing looked down at Frondkit. "haha, not just yet flower. When your older ill promise ill help you train alongside your mentor."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** oh wait- i meant to type Frond.. but ya know Flower works))

***Rugamer9052))*** Muddy had painful breathing and coughed like nobody had before (except me with dust allergy back here. :p)

***cowy09))*** aww that can be her nickname :3) "Ok daddy" she smiled at him. she liked that idea, training along side her dad.

***tapdancer707))*** AAAAA NUUU IM LATEEEE)) Lionstep was there the entire time, watching in the front of the crowd. "Yewpaw!" she cheered proudly.

* Argument with Raven (Breakup): February 27, 2021

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** heh...hehe- its :sparkle: relationship problem timeee :sparkles: // CRP w/ Raven)) Blazingwing padded out of the leaders den. He wanted to have a small chat with Badgerstar about the increase of apprentices and how to sort out duties. As he jumped down he looked up towards the sky, noticing the large dark cloud was drawing near. The large tom expected at least some rain but for now he soaked up the sun that had drowned the camp already. He sighed as he padded across the log, watching as the wind tore off the leaves and petals of the blooming trees. He hoped it wouldn't last long, he quite liked the buity(spelling?) of the light pink trees surrounding a bit of camp. He aimlessly waked, not thinking about the slim, black pelt in the corner of his eyes.

***misty-raven))*** Ohhhh yeah bOi)) Ravenflight padded into camp after a very long and very unsuccessful hunt. She had left the camp at sunhigh and hadn't caught anything, which put her in a foul mood. Face drawn into a frown, the she-cat ambled towards the fresh-kill pile and grabbed a small minnow, heading towards the Duck Pond to enjoy the morsel. From the corner of her eye she saw Blazingwing leave camp and looked away. She had barely talked to him over the past week, and she doubted he would speak to her now.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** >:) )) Blazingwing was ripped from his trance when he heard the pitter patter of paws nearby. Spinning towards it, he found Ravenflight stalking off. Confused on her unusual demeanor plus the realization of her absence from morning, he slowly ran towards her. "Hey Ravenflight, care if i join you?" He asked calmly, not wanting to set her off

***misty-raven))*** Ravenflight seemed to be somewhat annoyed, but with a flick of her ear, she gave a small nod. "Of course!" she replied, her voice dripping with not-so-subtle fake sweetness. She padded over to a log that was covered in soft moss and leaped on to it, putting the minnow beside her, and motioning to Blazingwing to join her with a jerk of her head.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing forced a smile, worried if he did something wrong. "Great, thanks...!" he said, padding over and sitting a bit uncomfortably near the she-cat. "sooo,, you doing ok? you seem a bit.... off?" He asked, a look of concern in his eyes

***misty-raven))*** "I'm...fine," she replied after a pause. Ravenflight was most certainly not fine. She took a small bite of the fish, the meat tasting dry and bland in her mouth. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. "It's been a while since we've been able to do this," she said in an effort to make conversation, "what, with you being so busy and all."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing pursed his lips, moving his amber eye's away and onto a patch of grass. He started to fiddle with his toes as he did anything to not make eye contact with Ravenflight. He should have brought another fish. "Uh, yea- i have been a bit absent i guess. But i mean,, at least im here now?" The large tom tried to reason quietly. "Although i did promise to go join a few others to go on a hunting patrol...."

***misty-raven))*** "Oh did you now?" Ravenflight asked coldly. "Well, if that's the case..." She jumped down from the log and gave Blazingwing a steely glare. "I should leave you too it."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing furrows his brows and he stood up. "Please Raven,, something is clearly wrong with you today- if i have done anything wrong please tell me" He said, worry visible in his eyes

***misty-raven))*** "Oh, I shouldn't bother you. After all, you're the big, important tom, right? You're far too busy to focus on your family or your /mate/," she hissed, her voice like venom. "You can't be trifled to spend time with your family, right?"

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "Raven- it's not like that i swear! I really do want to spend time with you and our kits but- i don't know,, it just slips my mind sometimes... Look im sorry- i really am. I love you with all my heart, i just get caught up in things sometimes" He pleaded, his voice cracking every so often.

***misty-raven))*** For a moment, Ravenflight faltered, but a second later, her eyes hardened. "If you truly loved me, if you truly loved your family, you would make time for us. You just love your power too much!" she yelled, eye lit with rage. "Badgerstar should have never made you deputy!"

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing took a step back in shock, jaws clenched. He stood there for a moment before looking away. "Maby your right. I /know/ i'll never be good as Badgerstar... i /know/ ill never be good as Hickoryfrost. i /knOW/- that i will /NEVER/ be good as my own /mother/-" He yelled back through clenched teeth. lone tears dripping down his chubby cheeks. "But if it makes you happy I'll resign... from both deputy duties and-" The dark tom started, his breath hitching. "And, as a mate.." he barley managed to creak out. Thoughts raced through his mind as he tried to keep his composure an not break down. "..I now re;lize my problem so all i ask is that you give me some time to relize what i have done to bolth you, and our kits." He mumbled, hanging his head in shame

* Talk with Badgerstar (temporarily stepping down): March 14, 2021

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** CRP w/ Boomer granddad)) Amber eyes flashed in the dark as a large, but strangely short shadow silently padded across camp. As Blazingwing slowly padded up to the leaders den, his heart was pounding as he recalled what Ravenflight had said to him. Was he really power hungry? He let out a shaky breath as the wind ruffed his fur, the dark sky threating to rain down on him home. "Badgerstar? May i talk with you?" he called, trying to keep his voice steady

***Tinyfern))*** (Yes yah im on mobile so blergh) (haha short >:D) Never mind his impaired sense of smell- Badgerstar could sense Blazingwing’s distress as soon as he approached. Instead of calling him in, he hefted himself up and pushed through the lichen covering of the cave entrance. “Blazingwing? What’s wrong?”

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** shagasf- dont make fun of my boy >:0)) He looked away. "mmnothing-" he mumbled. "just,, we hadn'rgument" He said softly. Fiddling with toes. "and... well.... might have,, separated for a bit" he quickly added as his ears became flush with the back of his head and his eyes became puffy.

***Tinyfern))*** (<3333) He raised an eyebrow “We, we, we, who is we?” His heart jumped as he realized Blazing seemed really very upset, so guided him into the den with his tail.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** <333 Sorry, internet cut,, also: "Really very upset")) "...Raven" He answered, letting the older tom take him inside. He sighed once he was inside, sure no eyes other than his grandfather's could see him. "Im such an idiot-" he mumbled to himself, wiping the tears that managed to slip

***Tinyfern))*** (asdhlfksjdflk I'm being bullied <3) Badgerstar's heart pounded as he awkwardly pulled the younger tom into a hug to comfort him in the moment. He cleared his throat. "You're not an idiot, what happened?"

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** mhm, :) )) Blazingwing whimpered as he burred his head in Badgerstar's neck,, his tears making his fur damp. He tried his best to control his breathing as he looked up. "She said I've been spending to much time worrying about patrols and duties that i- that i didn't care about my family. and the thing is..its true-" He struggled to talked. "And now we have two newborn kits and... i want to be there for them... but- "

* Meeting his kit, Alpine: April 6th, 2021

**lambe123))** A brown tabby she-kit was curled up inside the nursery with her tail draped over her head like a mini makeshift den. The kit seemed to be asleep, but in reality she was wide awake. Due to her large ears, Alpinekit couldn't fall asleep or even doze. She picked up every single noise that was made. Whether it be the sound of someone shifting or even just a snore. At this point she wasn't even tired anymore, just irritated.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** A large figure slowly padded up to the nursery's entrance, hesitant to enter and the concerned look in their eyes being quite visible. The tabby tom hadn't even met his kits yet since they where born, giving him the paranoia of his clanmates seeing him as a bad father as it had been 2 whole moons since their birth. Due to Ravenflight always being in the nursey, every time he though about coming in, something inside of him made him stick to his stomage. He wasn't ready to see his ex-mate just yet. Lucky for him though, the shadowy she-cat was out on a walk so he took this moment while he could. Letting out a shaky breath, he stepped in and glanced around. His eyes landed on a dark bundle of fur, knowing exactly who's kit they where. He gently padded up to them, about to speak when they noticed they seemed to be sleeping. He smiled at the sight and turned to leave, hopefully trying again when they where awake, unaware that the kit was not sleeping and fully awake

**lambe123))** Alpinekit's ears twitched at the noise of footsteps, they angled towards the entrance of the den and the little she-kit lifted her head. She let out a quiet meow, wanting to know who was out there, but not wanting to wake anyone. After a few moments she opened her eyes to see a large shadow hovering near the den's entrance. Alarmed, Alpinekit shut her mouth in fear, scared that some cat was going to attack everyone.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** jahsdf im so sorry omg,, im working on payments and totally forgot i was RPing-)) Blazingwing heard the faint mew from behind him. At first he though it was in his head but when he saw the glow of mismatched eyes it crossed out that idea. "oh, i though you where asleep- Hey kid" He mumbled. "Your... Los- no, Alpine right?" He asked softly, not wanting to seem threatening to her,

**lambe123))** haha it's fine! xD Sorry for the late reply :'D )) Alpinekit calmed down and cocked her head to the side. Who was this cat? How did they know her name? And their scent smelled familiar in a way. "Heello!" She chirped, a bit louder then she meant to. The kit let out a gasp and covered her mouth with her black paws. Alpinekit quickly threw a few glances around the den, wanting to make sure she didn't wake someone. "Hello." She repeated again, this time much quieter than the first.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** The tom snorted at her motion and turned to face her completely. "Heya, Im Blazingwing... This might seem like a strange question but... has anyone spoken about me in here?" He asked, wondering if the kit knew him him as the deputy or as her own father.... Or that chance she didn't know him at all. "If you don't that's fine,, i can just introduce myself a bit better for you" he quickly added

**lambe123))** "...Blazewing?" The tabby kit repeated after him, partly messing up his name. Alpinekit paused for a second. Wasn't that her father's name? A few cats had told her about a cat named 'Blazingwing' and that he was her father. Was he this cat? Very confused, she snapped out of her thoughts and waited for the tabby tom to further explain.

**xXWolfSoulXx))** "mhm, im uh... I'm both yours and your brother's father. I'm sorry for not meeting you before, i was just a little busy with other things" He stated, bluffing the last bit. He awaited for Alpinekit's reaction, he never had to do this before as he would always try to be at his kit's side when they are born as much as possible so he was curious on how the tiny she-kit would react.

* Lost patrol, Finding out his son, Lostpaw, has died: June 6th, 2021

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** CRP w/ @IceClimbers4Life @Yahkateyahk & @RaeOk718 )) Blazingwing was twitching his tail under the cover of the warriors den. A storm had passed through recently that had brought thunder very close to camp, the loud bang still ringing in his already damaged ears. Most cats that had gone a patrol before the rain started had came back. Exept for one. His son, Lostpaw had yet to return and Blazingwing grew more worried every second that passed. A light drizzle was all that was left but the old tom couldn't stand to wait any longer. He quickly stood up and quickly padded to a small group taking shelter near the camp exit. "Larkspring, Cinnamondust, Dewumbra, would you three mind going on a patrol with me real fast? Lostpaw has yet to return home and I'd be lying to say I wasn't worried about him-" He quickly explained, waiting for his clanmate's responses

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra nodded respectfully at her deputy. Well...technically grandfather. And the cat they were looking for was her uncle. /“i have so much family here...it’s weird to think about.”/ she thought, tilting her head, then snapping to attention as she realized she should be getting ready to go and paying attention to Blazingwing. Now that she thought of it, he /wasn’t/ her deputy. Ospreyfeather was, at least for the time being. Ranks and kin are quite complex in RiverClan.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust was grooming her tail at the edge of camp. She pricked her ears at the sound of her own name. She smiled at the invitation. She'd never been on a patrol with the former deputy, and she felt a little excited. She stood up and padded over to Blazingwing, where a small group cats were gathering. She gave Bazingwing a smile, oblivious to the reason behind the patrol.

***IceClimbers4Life))*** Larkspring's mind was on the pouring rain, knowing his short fur of no use with the wet, cold weather. // Good grief. Leaf-fall is always the worst. // he thought indignantly, but perked his ears as Blazingwing had approached him, the older tom's eyes filled with worry. "Of course, Blazingwing." he quickly responded, understanding the former deputy's worries. He too wondered how his kits were fairing with the tough weather, but Lostpaw could very well be stuck somewhere. The blue-grey warrior flinched slightly as a crash of lightning struck far off in the distance. Wherever Blazingwing's son was, they needed to find him fast.

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra padded over to Blazingwing, pleased to see her (sort of friend/acquaintance was in the patrol.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust glanced over at her and smiled a bit. She waved her tail slightly.

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra smiled back, waving her tail back and forth lightly, and to respond without words.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust stood up and padded over to the she-cat. "Hey there, Dewumbra!" She said quietly, hoping she hid the kittish excitement in her voice.

***RaeOk718))*** “Hello, Cinnamondust! It’s nice to see a friend on this...” she whispered, pausing. “-search patrol.” She finished, looking to the side, emotion flickering in her eyes as she almost revealed her fear of seeing another dead body.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** The brown tabby sighed thankfully . "Thank you all, hopefully the storm hasn't washed away /all/ his tracks and there's still enough we can find him. we should follow the normal patrol route but spit up so we can cover more ground. than" (we don't actually have that but just imagine it for now afghjakdg-) Blazingwing instructed, waiting for the surrounding cats to acknowledge it before heading off through the clan gates

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra dipped her head, following Blazingwing, almost right behind him.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust padded after the small group of cats trudging through the rain. She had her ears pricked for sounds of paw steps, as she now knew why she was here in the first place. She looked around for a sight of paw prints, though she was well aware that the rain would have washed them away. She shook out her pelt, annoyed that her pelt was soaked.

***IceClimbers4Life))*** LOST PATROL-)) Larkspring padded after the younger warrior, a bit of a grumpy expression on his face. Yes, he disliked the rain quite a bit, although he did his best to try and not show his dissatisfaction to Blazingwing, keeping his lime green eyes peeled for any tracks or clues as to where Lostpaw could've gone off to. Covering the ground ahead of them, Larkspring could see the forest off in the distance, smoke rising from its leafy cover. He shuddered a bit- lightning had struck the trees. What if Lostpaw had wandered into the forest? Could he be caught amongst the elements in there? Larkspring racked his brain a bit, trying to make sense of the situation. It didn't seem like any tracks he could see led over in that direction, although he kept a watchful eye on the growing flames.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust glanced in the blue-gray tom's direction. She wasn't sure who he was, but he looked nervous. She followed his gaze and drew in a sharp gasp. "Oh, my..." She gasped. She froze in her tracks, still staring at the flames.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing was padding alongside his group, eyes trying to spot any sign of his son. He followed their worried gaze on the nearby fire but was suddenly interrupted as damp grey fur flashed in the corners of his eyes. running forward, he checked if it was Lostpaw's and not just some random cat's or prey's. The faint trace of Lostpaw's sent still lingered, making Blazingwing's ears perk. "He went this way!" He called out. "let's keep heading forward, hopefully we find something more"

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust snapped out of her trance almost immediately. She turned towards the tabby tom and raced after him. "You saw him?" She called to him. She hadn't but she trusted the senior warrior. She squinted her eyes and ran faster to catch up to him, almost stumbling. She balanced herself and kept on going.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "his fur was caught on a bush. He's usually mindful about his fur so seeing some of it lost to a bush means...." He trailed off, slipping a bit on the wet leaves below him. "well, i'm sure you can figure that out," he mumbled as he continued forward

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra padded along, and saw that all the other cats had stopped to look at...the trees...? She looked in the direction of their gaze, and saw the growing flames, them somehow reminding her of her good friend, Flarepaw. But this wasn’t just “flares”. These were huge flames, growing by the second. She panicked, realizing what they were looking for. “G-guys..” she stammered, trying to explain her thoughts. “I-I think...” she paused, shaking. “I think Lostpaw might be stuck in...” She glanced towards the flames, hoping they would understand. She looked back at them, slowly padding towards the flames. “Even if he isn’t, we have to check...” she mewed, realizing she wasn’t making sense. But there wasn’t time for explaining. Lostpaw could be dying. She opened her mouth to speak, only for the words to die in her throat as she thought of something. What if he was already dead?

***IceClimbers4Life))*** Larkspring perked his ears as Blazingwing's voice rang out. "Coming!" he replied, running after the senior warrior. He stopped to sniff at the tuft of fur and his eyes flashed a bit. This was definitely Lostpaw's scent, as Larkspring recognized it from a few patrols and strolls around the apprentice den looking for his own apprentice. He looked ahead of him, although he wasn't able to clearly see through the rain. "D'you think he went somewhere there?"

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust's stomach twisted at his words. What if he...? She pushed the thought from her mind, instead looking around, alert. She was intimidated by the flames, but forced herself to stay afoot. She couldn't stop worrying about the tom in front of her's son, and what might have happened to him.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "not sure, if he isn't then we might have to go with Dewumbra, their could be the chance he's stuck in the fire...." He said, catching Dewumbra's gesture. "Lets make this quick, that fire is fast and i don't want to lose my son to wasted time-" He added, running up ahaid, hoping the patrol would stay with him

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust looked over at the other she-cat. "Come on, Dewumbra! We're going in!" She shrieked. She slowed a bit, but never to a stop so that she would catch up.

***RaeOk718))*** ah! My comment got sort of messed up, but I think it works now-)) Dewumbra sighed in relief that the rest of the patrol would come with her, then turned back towards the fire, and bounded towards it. If there was even a chance he was alive- they had to try. She arrived in front of the flames, wondering how to get through, then realized she hadn’t waited for the others. She pushed the thought away. She /had/ to save Lostpaw. He was her kin. She found a gap in the flames, and jumped through it.

***Yahkateyahk))*** just pretend she didn't hear and sped up)) Cinnamondust raced after the she-cat and skidded to a stop in front of the flames, panting. She watched in horror as the she-cat jumped through the flames. Was she insane? "Dewumbra! Are you okay?" She shouted, voice cracking in fear.

***RaeOk718))*** “i can’t see almost anything. /and/ Lostpaw might be burning somewhere. But other than that, yeah, I’m fine” she mewed, still running.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** your good, i actually think a bit of my own comment is a little confusing so for context, he's right behind Dew and Cinnamon)) Blazingwing followed Dewumbra through the flames, alongside the auburn she-cat and grey-blue tom. Staying close by, the flames threatening to catch in his thick fur, as the heat from the fames was already getting to him. Curse him for having this fur- He covered his face as smoke burned his lungs and eyes. "Quick, if you see anything call out, we cant stay for long in this place-" He yowled, hearing trees crack and the sizzle of the small drizzle hitting some of the raging flames

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust turned frantically to the fluffy tom beside her, fear shining in her one-eyed gaze. She was afraid he might go up in flames. "Are you ok-" She hacked, almost unable to handle the smoke.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "yes, just a little warmer than what i'm used to-" He assured Cinnamondust. "Let's hurry though" he finished, as he run up and began to shuffle through the charing wildlife, hoping to find a similar grey pelt

***Yahkateyahk))*** Aighty)) Cinnamondust nodded, eyes streaming and rushed after him. She couldn't smell anything, and the smoke was too thick to try. "What- What does he look like?" She coughed hoarsely. She'd never encountered Lostpaw before, so the task was a little more complicated.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "Small grey and white chimera- he's got wispy short fur but like me, some parts are much fluffier like his tail and chest-" he struggled to answer as a wretched cough took over his lungs. "I'll check over their by that blown tree-" He gestured over to the raggest trunk. it was clear that was a tree that was closest to the strike and was the first to burn as it was smoky black and only small flames where left on it. As he left the group he started to dig around it, moving the charred pieces of dirt and wood.

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra nodded, then smelt a strong scent. “Hey...I think I smell cat over...” she mewed,trying to smell it again. “Over there.” She mewed, nodding to a patch of burning grass with a strange-shaped flame.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** ok that was faster than i thought)) Blazingwing turned back, listing to Dewumbra. Now that he thought about it it was a strange flame. /please.. please starclan, let it not be him-/ he said to himself. He quickly ran over and began to rummage through the charred remains of the wildlife. it didn't take him long to hit something. His throat seemed to close, wondering if it was the smoke doing so or if it was his greatest fear. He shakily moved his paw to dust the embers away, patting the flames away in the proces. The moment he saw burnt fur he let out a cry he didn't realize he was holding. He rushed to brush everything away, uncovering a small figure. The old tom didn't try to hold his tears back as he gazed at his son. His once soft and clean fur now burnt and covered in dust. He gently held Lostpaw close to him, jerking back as it shocked him, and held his son close to him, the worry about the raging fire now gone. He struggled the breath as his cried and immediately inhaling smoke as his lungs screamed for air

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra padded over to Blazingwing, wondering what he had found. “Blazingwing?” She mewed, following his gaze to the weirdly-shaped flame. Then she noticed that it wasn’t a flame. She couldn’t see from far away, and with the other things in front, but there was a cat there. A familiar cat. The cat they were looking for. She stared in horror at the small, lithe body that was covered in ashes. A wail split her ears, and she noticed Blazingwing, sobbing. She felt horrible for her grandfather. Lostpaw wasn’t even a warrior yet. “H-he should’ve lived so much longer....” she choked out, sitting by Blazingwing and Lostpaw’s body, nuzzling Blazingwing as to comfort him somehow. She couldn’t imagine losing a kit. She had seen so many body’s in the past few moons...most of which she didn’t even know well, /he/ did. She wished so much that cats would just...stay... She closed her eyes, tears now streaming as she stayed by her kin and kin’s body.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing turned back to the young she-cat, tears in his eyes. He racked out another sob as he turned back "please- not you....Starclan please don't take him..... he's to young, he- he has his whole life ahead of him... PLEASE-" He yelled to himself, hoping Starclan would spare him. He knew it couldn't happen but he couldn't bring himself to accept that his youngest son was unmoving in his arm. Blazingwing coughed as a wave of smoke ran through the area. "He have to- get, back" he mumbled, struggling to breath and he moved Lostpaw away from the flames.

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra looked upward, in slight hope StarClan would somehow bring him back. Or maybe he had just fainted? She pressed her ear to his chest. There was nothing. Nothing from StarClan, nothing from Lostpaw. “I..don’t think..” she started, then realized how hard it would be for Blazingwing and fell silent. He probably knew deep down anyway. She stayed silent and sat closer to Blazingwing. She had been so happy that her kin was on the patrol. She still was, but now she couldn’t be happy at all. Dewumbra sat up, and nodded. “The others...the others would want to hear about...this.” She rasped, her voice hoarse from the smoke. She got up, helping Blazingwing. She looked toward the others.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "He cant' be gone.. he's.. he's fine. He'll make it, it always does-" He mumbled to Dewumbra, ignoring her last comment. It was meant to comfort his granddaughter but at this moment it seemed he needed it more than she did. "If we get him to Beechstorm then, then she can fix him right up-" He struggled. "help me get him out of here will you-" He grumbled as he drapped Lostpaw over his back and accepted the grey cat's help as he searched for the others. He would call for them but he choked on the smoke yet again

***RaeOk718))*** “It’s time to go.” She mewed, emotion and weariness glistening in her eyes.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust nodded weakly and padded over to them. She pressed against Blazingwing's other side and started to walk in the direction of camp, although weaky.

***RaeOk718))*** lol it double posted again—) Dewumbra put her paw on him. “He’s..” she paused, taking a deep breath. This was going to be hard to hear. “He’s not coming back. No matter what herbs Beechstorm knows, or anything. He’s...he’s dead, Blazingwing.” She choked out the last few words, and looked down. She had tears streaming down her face. She looked back up at him and held his gaze. “We need to get his body back to camp.” She mewed softly, her mee almost a whisper.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** im. scratch why)) "he's not /dead/-" The tom snapped, something Blazingwing hasn't done in moons. he stumbled over charred roots and upturned earth. The flames threatening to block the exit as the patrol quickly drew nearer. "he's not,, he can't be" He added, as he quickly jumped through the flames, a few embers catching on his fur but thankfully sizzling out before it could grow. He waited for the rest to catch up as he took deep breaths in, the air visibly more cleaner than before

***RaeOk718))*** She sighed. It was going to be hard to convince her grandfather that his own /kit/ had /died/. She padded after him, silent for a few minutes. “If he’s alive, then why is his body so cold and motionless?” She mewed quietly, to where only Blazingwing could hear. “I know this is hard, but do you /really/ think he’s alive?” She mewed gently. /“I wish he were true....but it will only hurt him...well, us more, if we really believe that.”/ she thought silently to herself, suddenly feeling weaker.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing proceeded to ignore her as he padded away. Starclan woudn't take one of his last remaining sons through blood... right? Tinyblaze, Fearlessfang, Badgerstreak, Frondglow, Suncreek, Ratwhisker, Dustpaw, Cricketpaw.. they were all lost... the old tom had watched their burriel, he couldn't stand to watch another one of his family be lowered under the earth. No, not today. please not today.

***Yahkateyahk))*** Cinnamondust wasn't paying attention to the conversation, but the exit. She sighed in relief when the tom left and followed quickly. She had no place in their talk, and would not join it. "We should go." She mewed softly.

***RaeOk718))*** She nodded to the cat, thankful that she had stated quiet. She couldn’t imagine how defensive Blazingwing would be if it wasn't even his granddaughter who was speaking of this.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing nodded, slowly heading towards home. The adrenaline from the roaring flames was wearing off and his legs began to shake. He prayed to Starclan one last time as they trekked back towards camp, sighing as the familiar borders of camp came into sight

--

* Lostpaw's burrial: June 7th, 2021

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** hehe, burriall rp be like- ORP, multiple people can join)) The cool Leaf-fall breeze blew through the land as Blazingwing gently carried Lostpaw's body to the center of camp. He had come to terms with his youngest kit's death after a long night, it was the worst he had in a while. He sighed as he he rested the grey chimera on a patch of white scabiosa flowers that had been plucked before hand. Blazingwing glanced up, letting clanmates join in that where already nearby and watching, he didn't- need to call them over

***-eveninq))*** ➺ One such clanmate was a young warrior, expression unusually grim and solemn as his gaze fell upon his late uncle. How cruel could StarClan be, to take a cat so young and full of life? Astersky approached him, pawsteps light as he struggled to find something to say. But what could possibly ease the inevitable grief of losing a kit? In the end, the lilac grey tom remained silent, giving only a respectful dip of his head to his grandfather and former deputy.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing turned towards Astersky, dipping his head to reciprocate the gesture. Even if Blzingwing hadn't talked with Astersky that much, he still thought fondly of the younger tom.

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra saw Blazingwing starting the burial, and decided to join. She was glad he’d finally accepted Lostpaw’s death, but he looked so miserable.... She decided to join him. She hesitated on padding over, wondering if he was going to call everyone over or something. But he didn’t, so she just walked up to him. “..Blazingwing?” She mewed softly, keeping her voice low. “Aren’t you...going to tell everyone? Like, officially? As his father?” She mewed, half-hoping he’d say yes. The clan needed to hear about this.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** The tom sighed. "i guess, although i want to send him off with a few more things. he didn't deserve such a death" He responded, a faint trace of aggression in his voice. Blazingwing then adjusted a flower that felt out of place to him, anything to keep his mind from wondering why Starclan would do it. They knew what they were doing, right?

***Tinyfern))*** Badgerstar was by Lostpaw's side in an instant. The tom's stature, once large and commanding, was now shrunk with age and a strange, experienced grief. Indeed, the leader had truly been deteriorating physically these past moons. He'd seen many deaths but the fact that this one was so close to his heart and duties, so wrecking to Blazingwing, and so unfair and sudden made his head swim with protests to Starclan. His faith in them was real, but their choices often made him wonder... why? The leader's sadness was genuine but shrouded. The clan needed, like at every funeral, for him to serve as their anchor. His head stayed bowed in respect to his apprentice and family member.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing didn't notice Badgerstar at first but the moment he saw the dark tom he rested his muzzle on his shoulder. He didn't say anything.

***PeachyWeasels))*** Cinnamondust walked up to Lostpaw. She never knew him, but she was part of the patrol who found him. She set down a few pansies next to him. She felt obliged to do something, and that was what she chose. She cast Blazingwing a sympathetic look and flicked her tail sadly. "I'm sorry." She mewed quietly, then proceeded to pad away slowly.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "Thank you" Blazingwing muttered before she left

***dxskhuskii))*** Falconblaze sat silently off to the side, his heterochromatic eyes rimmed with tears that came from the death of his youngest brother. After a moment of hesitation, he stood and padded over to lostpaw's side with trembling steps and his head held low.

***lambe123))*** A spotted tabby she-cat padded casually out of the apprentices' den. Her eyes scanned camp for someone to talk to as her tail slowly flowed back and forth behind her. Alpinepaw's expression soon faded into confusion when she fixated on the group of cats surrounding something. She hurried towards the commotion and was shot by a pang in her chest. The sight of her littermate's body sent an overwhelming spasm of shock run through her entire body. What was he doing laying there?! He was sleeping! She urged herself to calm down, but almost like she swallowed an entire mouse, her throat started to tighten up and she could hardly breathe. Similarly to the feeling when you did something wrong and are embarrassed yet scared, her body started to rapidly heat up. After minutes of sitting in silence, she finally realized what was happening. Tears started to form in her eyes but she held them back by biting the inside of her cheek. Though she wasn't best friends with Lostpaw, he still was her littermate and because of that factor, she loved him a lot.

***c-horses))*** Goldeneye walked up with a rose in her mouth. She had no idea what was going on, only that someone was dead and it sounded appropriate to bring something. Seeing the small group of cats crowded around a small body, she hurried over, and set her rose next to the small cat.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing smiled, gratefull that his clanmates joined in morning the apprentice. Blazingwing then shared tongues with Lostpaw one last time. "I know you have already passed but i know how much you wanted to be a warrior... with this i ask that Starclan take you with your name. Lostpaw, from this moment forward you will be known as Lostsoul. Starclan honors you for your intelligence and loyalty, and let starclan welcome you as a full warrior. may starclan light your path" He ended, trying to hold back his tears as he burred his muzzle in the newly named Lostsoul's fur

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing glanced up. He didn't expect to see Alpinepaw but here she was. Blazingwing trembled as he padded up to her, licking her ear. "I'm sorry you had to see this" he mumbled to her as he stood close to his daughter

***lambe123))*** Alpinepaw wanted to leave. She really really wanted to leave. The immense pain that kept jabbing her kept hurting more and more by the second. Her gaze was stuck on her brother's body, it was the only think she was aware of at the moment. "N-No...!~" Was all the tabby she-cat shouted before pushing her father away and scampering out of camp in a hurry.

**Tinyfern))** Badgerstar looked up at this exchange, and stood up before Blazingwing could follow his daughter. “Stay here.” He offered him his spot right at Lostsoul’s flank. “I’ll go make sure she’s okay.” With that, the elderly leader left camp, limping as if the mood of the grieving camp had thrown off his gait all the more.

***RaeOk718))*** Dewumbra turned to see Badgerstar and Alpinepaw running away. She felt bad, she’d just started to get to know Alpinepaw and seeing him in so much pain crushed her heart. Though, it was already crushed by Blazingwing being so miserable. She decided to stay and comfort him. I...I’m so sorry you have to go through this...I know this sounds empty but... I really do. Though I didn’t know him well, I used to see him around camp, and after all, he’s my kin. My first kin to find the body of, and the first death of kin since I’ve been an apprentice....” she mewed, whispering the last sentence as her eyes were edged with almost every negative emotion she could feel all at once.

***WillowheartWarriors))*** (The amount of time it took for me to find this RP is mildly concerning :,D) Beechstorm watched Blazingwing from the medicine den, observing with grief shimmering in her green eyes as a small crowd moved over to Blazingwing. She recognized Lostpaw’s mottled pelt and suppressed tears, instead returning into her den and re-emerging moments later, holding a small marigold flower in her jaws. She dragged herself over to Blazingwing and Lostpaw, now named Lostsoul, and delicately placed the flower on the apprentice’s pelt. She bowed her head to the (former?) deputy. “He was a wonderful kit,” she recalled, memories of how Lostkit had stumbled into her den once or twice and had been curious about herbs. “It’s always a shame when StarClan takes one so young.” She pressed her shoulder against the tom’s as comfort, gazing down at Lostsoul’s body mournfully.

* Badgerstar's Accedent

***Tinyfern))*** (Crp with Ray <33) Badgerstar had gotten out of his bed that morning already with a purpose for the day. Yesterday, a warrior had informed him and Blazingwing of a fox, by Silver Falls, and they were going to go check it out today. After nothing but a quick groom for his graying, balding/thinning short pelt, Badgerstar made his way carefully down the rocks of Shadow Falls. It had become harder for him to traverse these stones, and he huffed in worry. His mind had been plagued by thoughts of his incompetence. He knew the clan supported him, but it didn't feel right. He was supposed to support them. This wasn't a sudden revelation, though, so there was no change to his limping gait as he approached the warrior's den.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** ahh okok,, i forgot about that ASDASF :D)) Blazingwing padded out of the den as Badgerstar was about to enter, running into the older tom with a muffled omph. It was strange for the brown tabby to wake up at such an early hour, normally sleeping in and staying up late, but with the talk of a fox inside Riverclan territory he forced himself to alter that routine of his just this once. "oh! i was just 'bout to go see you pops," Blazingwing started. "you ready to go? if we need to sit down after your treck up here thats perfectly reasonable,," He joked, trying to hide his wide grin as he commented about his grandfather's age

***Tinyfern))*** LOL no worries xD Badgerstar stumbled a bit backwards, his three paws fumbling for grip for a second before regaining a steady stance. There was a grin on his face, nearly a mirror of Blazingwing's, just a bit more lopsided, as soon as the deputy joked around with him. "Blazingwing, you lumbering fish," he meowed endearingly. He scoffed at the tom's mention of his age. "I'm as spritely as I'll ever be! In fact, hurry yourself up, because I'm already on my way out!" The difference in these words and what actual speed he and his scarred hind leg could go was comical and somewhat worrying at the same time. The thoughts he had flashed in his mind again, but he didn't dwell on them. "Imagine what kind of a leader I'd be if I couldn't walk across our territory. The nerve you have." Badgerstar flicked his long tail to beckon Blazingwing to follow.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazinwing cackled, "oh yes,, so fast i can barely keep up~" a hit of sarcasm lined his voice as he indulged with his old man just this once. As Blazingwign trailed closely behind, just enough so if his leader fumbled he wouldn't to hard of a fall, began thinking about his words. Badgerstar was growing old. The old dark tom was one of the oldest leaders to ever live, getting closer and closer to 150 moons... and it showed. Badgerstar wasn't as vibrant as he was when the small party was held at willow bay for his mental health so many moons ago... /dont./ Blazingwing growled to himself as a particular thought wormed its way inside. /He's going to stay a bit longer, i'll make sure of it.. no matter what it takes for Starclan to listen, they won't take my pops away from me. Not now-/ He argued. ((laughs in foreshadowing))

***Tinyfern))*** (cackling and crying Also dannngggg I forgot about that party at Willow Bay??! the memories lksdjf) The two Riverclan cats made their way out of camp. Badgerstar was feeling fine, as the days went. Frustratingly, he was growing old. But, he couldn't even ask Starclan to pause the time, and, if they did, what would be the fun of that for the younger cats? He went around a log instead of over it as they walked, not paying mind to this action. "They said the fox was near Silver Falls," he reminded Blazingwing. "I guess we'll go see if there's a burrow." (ahahhahasdfk i just realized pebble cant join us on here but howabout when the time comes we can copy and paste transfer this rp to scratch or smth. i also maybe wanna make it so its more of a mini landslide instead of badgie going too far in the burrow)

***xXWolfSoulXx))***ASDASD- mhm, aa the good ol days)) Nodding in affirmation, Blazingwing followed, crossing small streams and trekking over rocks until they were almost to the falls. "i just hope this fox isn't a fierce one, that or there's actually multiple of them...I doubt Riverclan would need that right now. i'd rather enjoy the peace we have" Blazingwing commented, sighing. The new kits and lovestruck youngsters,, the reconnection of him and Ravenflight,, and the sad yet peaceful passing of Osperyfeather which resulted Blazingwing to step back into the position he once set down. Though this time his priorities were no longer set on one thing,, (i just realized i have to do the aftermath of Ospreys' death,, not sure how ill do that ngl PFT and ok! those two comments sound good to me!)

***Tinyfern))*** (alksjdf forgot Osprey had died too. Oh well, ig Badgie is just normal sadge, hes kinda numb to death pains at this point sOBs) As they approached the falls, Badgerstar only gave a nod back to Blazingwing, starting to smell the air the best he could. He hoped that the other tom would join him, since his nose would surely pick up more than Badgerstar's old, smoke-harmed one. The scent was yesterday-night-fresh, from what he could sense, the night after they had been informed the fox was prowling. At least it wasn't around, now.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Sorry for misspells doing this on mobile which im not good at DGHDGG)) Blazingwing joined in trying to track down where this fox had been, picking uo that it had left today as well. Sighing in relief he relaxed a little bit, calming his nerves so he could fouce on the foxes stench. He was about to call it quits when he found a small trail, the senct being stonger than before but still dull enough to say the animal was already long gone. Nimbly following it, he reached a small opening in the earth, no to faw away from where he and Badgeratar where originally standing. "Hey Badgerstar!! Come look at this-" he gently called, making sure he wasnt to loud just in case.

***Tinyfern))*** HAHA GUESS WHO DIDNT PRESS SEND! :D LOL mobile what a rip. You know what I respect you for replying to an rp on mobile)) Badgerstar padded quietly over, and stood next to Blazingwing to look down at the hole. The leader, once finely large in stature, was now noticeably shorter than his deputy. He wrinkled his nose at the fox stench. "Ugh, foxes. Do they never bathe themselves?" The white-striped tom angled his head momentarily to all sides before looking back down at the burrow, which was large enough for a cat to slip into, even if it would be claustrophobic. "I'm going to go a small ways in," he decided with a determined look on his face. Should he really be doing this in his physical state? He surely didn't want to send Blazingwing in, though, and they had to know for sure the fox was gone. "I won't go far at all," the leader added hurriedly before the other tom could interject. "Just enough to notice if the smell gets stronger from a fox inside."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** SGSNBDHSHS I FEEL YOU ON THAT-)) Blazingwing was about to comment on the dangers before Badgerstar cut him off, resulting in the younger tom to just grumble in uncertainty. "just- be carefull will you?" He said, brows furrowed. Was this really a good idea? Blazingwing was obviously more fit to go through so why had Badgerstar say he would instead? Blazingwing moved stiffly towards the entrance, just in case something happened- which he prayed that Starclan wouldn't let happen. "if anything happens, yell- i wouldn't forgive myself if something happened and i didnt help-"

***Tinyfern))*** Badgerstar too felt a twinge of uncertainty in his gut. But, if he couldn't do something so simple right now, was he even fit to be leader anymore? This was a brief thought, but the dilemma remained. "I'll be careful," Badgerstar murmured. He nodded at Blazingwing. "Okay. I know you have my back." With that, he tossed the other tom one of his signature, lopsided grins to lighten the mood, then gave one more look at the sky before slipping into the burrow. (okay okay you can describe the landslide with your reply or I can with my next one :D)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** i can maybe do it- hopefully ASDAS)) Blazingwing watched as Badgerstar stepped into the dark and musty den, watching as his white tipped tail (i think Badgie has a white tip? welp, now he does-) disappeared into the shadows. For what seemed like hours to the brown tabby tom, he sat and waited for either a call or for the old leader to reamerge. Blazingwing hoped for the latter. As he stood, tail thrashing in anticipation, he began to feel the cool splatters as water. Blazingwing tried to look up but a raindrop landed in his eye, stepping back to rub it off. As he drew his paw away he gazed at the rain that had fallen on his fur.. then looked back at the burrow. any cat with brains, that or any cat from Windclan, knew that water and soil were never a good mix. Blaingwing's breath hitched as he stepped partially into the cave. "Badgerstar-! Badgerstar,,, Pops!!" he called, wanting to get him away from the den. This could wait until later but for now Blazingwign didn't want to risk anyone getting hurt. Blazingwing smiled when the dark shadow of his Grandfather became partially visible, that that joy was short lived as a twisted feeling in his gut formed. at quick as the feeling came, the roof of the den suddenly collapsed, burring every last thing that was inside. Blazingwing ripped his head away last minute before anything could be done but gave a strangled cry as Badgerstar vanished from sight. "Pops-!!" He cried, rushing forward and frantically started digging. "No- no nononono,, I said a wasn't losing anyone elts-" he mumbled to himself, tears starting to form in his blurry eyes

***cowy09))*** A starry silhouette began to appear, a soft calico pelt that was close to translucent shone, the small she-cats ears dropping softly. She looked somewhat fierce, despite her small size, and while her eyes appeared to be milky and that of a blind cat, the starclan warrior could see just fine. She crouched low next to the dark furred warrior, a sad and concerned look on her face. “Hey you soggy old furball,” she greeted, a sad smile forced to her face.

***Tinyfern))*** (AHA I totally forgot abt this sobs) (lmbo dw idek myself but I'd say I don't think he does?) The smell of fox was strong enough to even choke Badgerstar's impaired smell when he entered the burrow, and the leader had to clear his throat as he went. Large as he was, this tunnel was dug by a creature larger than any cat, so he at least didn't have to make any tight squeezes. Badgerstar moved with caution, claw sheaths tense and at the ready. The air seemed to change for a moment, before the tunnel spread out into a low-ceilinged hollow. The tom didn't go further, only peeking his head out enough to look around with his feline night-vision at all angles. It wasn't a complicated den- just the one tiny cavity in the ground. There was no sign of fox, and the smell was not as strong as it should be, even in the pith of the burrow, if the fox was still living here. Badgerstar took a couple steps into the widened opening, this satisfying his last doubts about a canine inhabitant, and turned around to go back up the tunnel. As he clawed his way back up, a chill which he couldn't place a reason to rode down his spine, and his whiskers tingled. He didn't notice this outright, but the soil was looser than when he had made his way down. He subconsciously hurried his pace, glancing up whenever he could spare his gaze from his footholds for outside light again. Perhaps he was feeling claustrophobic, so that when the shadowed silhouette of Blazingwing's face appeared and a single raindrop touched his upturned face, relief seemed to rush through him. Then within the next split second, there was soil pressing in on him from all sides. Fear exploded in Badgerstar's pounding heart as soon as he realized he could no longer catch a breath. Everything seemed muffled, and no amount of Badgerstar's desperation could aid him as he tried in vain to thrash his way out. His limbs could barely even push their way through the soil, especially as his ears began to ring, and all the blood seemed to rush to his chest and head. There was no time for final thoughts when the fear of death came so quickly, and Badgerstar felt nothing but the ebbing feeling of light-headedness when his spirit finally escaped his body. It was quiet, so quiet, and he felt as if he was floating. Then he felt the muted feeling of soil around him again, but now cool and somehow blanketing and inviting. He didn't open his eyes yet, as there was a confused serenity in him that compelled him not to. But a familiar scent? Badgerstar blinked his eyes open groggily, as if he had just woken from sleep, and was met by a face he had not seen in a long time. "Pebblestorm?" he rasped, still dazed in some remnant of fear.

***cowy09))*** She paused for a moment, formerly blind eyes gazing into his own in a sort of intense manor, her expression hard to read. She studied him, his shifty gaze, filled with fear, worry, panic. She’d never seen this before. In fact, there were a lot of things she’d still have yet to see. But somehow, for a moment, she stood without responding, tilting her head slightly as she glanced away from him and towards a puddle of water, appearing quite small until you approached it, the scene in which Badgerstars body lay seeming to suck you in until you looked away, the soft, bright terrain of StarClan welcoming you once more. She gave a small nod, frowning softly as his slightly translucent pelt grew thicker, more visible. He was losing multiple lives at once, not good. “What have you gotten yourself into now?” she sighed, giving the old tom a quick, loving nuzzle, the extent of her affection as she bounded towards the puddle, giving him a quick motion to come stand beside her.

***Tinyfern))*** Badgerstar rose to his paws, wanting more from Pebblestorm. He missed her, yes, but he was beyond that confused as to what was happening to him. He felt almost a tinge of aching in his chest, transferred from the physical world. It was nearly like a dream when she nuzzled him, the touch of which he melted into before she pulled away, and he followed her bound away. He hadn't yet responded when he looked down at the puddle, standing next to Pebblestorm. It was the image of his body, trapped in the soil still, completely lifeless. Dread built up in his paws, and the worry for Blazingwing drilled its way to the front of his mind. He was sorry for how he had to put him through this. He'd been through enough, from the moment Mosslight died to when Ravenflight pressed a break between them. And he was sorry for much more. It came to him all of a sudden, the realization that /oh Starclan, I'm not fit to be leader. I haven't been for the past moons. What have I done to Riverclan? I've failed./ "Burrow caved in," he replied bluntly to Pebblestorm, just in time for the jolt. In Starclan, his starry form collapsed without a sound to the grass rather than disappearing, almost as if the nature of Starclan knew he wasn't done with this ordeal. Badgerstar's consciousness was revived in the waking world, and he was stifled again. For just the smallest moment, the strength of Starclan came to him, and he managed to claw his way up just some. Now there was only a thin, loose layer of soil separating him from Blazingwing's desperate digging. But the lights dimmed again, and with another wave of lightheadedness, Badgerstar returned to Starclan. It was two lives lost now. He blinked his eyes open next to Pebblestorm again, ears ringing almost like the impact of his head to the ground in Starclan had an effect. Really, he was overwhelmed beyond what could be imagined, so much so that he might have cried given time to process what was happening. (I'd say Blazing can write whenever about finally freeing Badgie, I'll have one more exchange with Pebble first though if that's alright :])

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** cutely sobs- also, should i write now or after the last exchange? im a bit confused :'0))

***Tinyfern))*** (Right now is fine if you want, Badgie lost his second life just now so Blazing can pull him back out so he doesn't lose a third. I meant like Badger having one last exchange with Pebble in StC before coming back to Blazingwing, which doesn't affect physical world, Blazing might just have to sit around or smth and wait xDD)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Ahh okok!!)) Blazingwing's heart seemed to skip a beat as he felt the ground beneath him move, not from him but instead Badgerstar. He wasn't dead, or at least not entirely- Blazingwing quickly moved the dampened soil away, breaking through to the muddied, dark fur of his grandfather's face. As he slowly unearthed him, he dragged the old tom by the scruff, out of the hole. "Pops!! Please, please be ok-" he pleaded. He knew that Badgerstar still had some lives lift so he couldn't die just yet... Right? Starclan had not been kind to Blazingwing so the idea of the stary fured elders taking all his grandfathers lives wasn't an impossible thought to him. The brown tabby started to panic, resting his good ear to Badgerstar's chest, trying the find the heartbeat or breathing that wasn't there. Did it take time? Did he need to wait, or bring them home to Honeydawn and the others? Blazingwing started to shiver, the ice cold rain starting to reach his skin. He watched as the droplets slowly washed away Badgerstars fur and nuzzled deeper into the black fur, curling his tail protectivly around Badgerstar. 'Please, starclan. I don't want it to be his time yet-" he mumbled wearly, his salty tears mixing with the rain water

* 9 Lives Ceremony

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Receiving 9 lives - CRP w/ Martenbloom and requested cats)) Blazingwing made his way down to the frigid seaside, walking along the path that lead to Moon Falls. The howl of the winds and crashing of waves was lough enough to make the old tom's hearing even more impaired but he pushed forward, the frozen willow finally in sight. Blazingwing glanced behind him, checking on the young medicine cat that accompanied him on the trip. "You good Martenbloom?" He called, slowing down a bit.

***clover-skies))*** The tabby tom nodded, quickening his pace. ' ' Y-yeah, I'm good. ' ' He meowed, offering a friendly smile to the deputy- who was about to become leader. He looked around at the beautiful area that surrounded them- no matter how many times he came here, he was still awestruck by how beautiful it was. ' ' Are you excited to get your lives? ' ' He asked Blazingwing. Admittedly, he himself was excited to be here- even if he was just here to accompany the future leader.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing pick back up the pace and shrugged. "You could say that, i'm more excited to see my old family and friends really, if anything. Its been awhile since ive seen them..." He commented, mind drifting as he recalled that many memories of his childhood,, all the games of 'Leader and Deputy' played with his siblings actually turning out to be true- Though with Blazingwing's loss of focus, he tripped on the path, barely catching himself before face planting into the soil. With a sigh, he shook it off and continued the trek towards the edge of the lands. After quite a long walk, the two reached the clearing, the many large stones that were circling the chilled willow tree, and the waterfall that cascaded down forth from the mountains. Blazinging took a deep breath in and padded forward, getting closer to the waters. Reaching the edge, he sat down and touched his nose to the freezing water. At first he wanted to reel back due to the cold, but forced himself to stay put. the cold that as only splashing on his muzzle then spread throughout the tom, even making it feel it at reached his bones. In an instant, everything became silent as stone, the wind, waves, and even the soft breaths of Mertenbloom where gone. Blazinging immediately opened his eyes, finding himself in a completely different place. One filled with lush and overgrown forests that surrounded the clearing he was sat in. He gently brought his paw up from the grass, making small, glowing dust the flutter in his wake.

***-Rose\_Skiies-))*** thiss. is where i appear >:] >> a silver speckled cat, once known as the medicine cat of riverclan, padded out from seemingly nowhere in the trees belonging to the hunting grounds of starclan. as she went, she wondered whether the cat in front of her remembered her existence at all. "good evening, blazingwing! or should i say blazing/star/, or at least soon to be?" she seemed more open after her death. approaching blazingwing, she touched her nose to his forehead, having to slightly tiptoe to reach. "with your first life, i give you freedom. this may seem like a strange life to give, but hear me out. i understand that rules are set for a reason, but sometimes as a leader you look beyond them for better solutions. in those lights, your freedom will be your song." stepping aside, she smiles at him. << if anybody gets the reference ily forever LMAO >>

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** imagine posting on the wrong account- couldn't be me)) Blazingwing jumped at the strange cat's apprentice but calmed slightly after vaguely remembering the pelt of the riverclan medcat. /Blizzarddawn?/ He asked to himself. Blazingwing lowered his head (Shawty he ain't tall, Blazing should be the one tiptoeing-) as she offered him his life, feeling as if a cool and wild breeze ran through him while the silver she-cat spoke. When Blizzarddawn pulled away, Blazingwing glanced back up and gently dipped his head in gratitude, and waited for his next life

***Seth\_-))*** Now, it was Dewkit. The small sandy brown and cream tom-kit padded forward, and it seemed like he was tip-toeing on the light surrounding him. The small kit had died at birth, so he wasn't tall enough to reach his brothers head, nor strong enough to climb on his back to reach him, so he beckoned for his brother to lean down. "I'm so proud of you, Blazing/star/." Emphasizing his brothers last name. Upon Blazingstar dipping his head down to receive his life from his smaller brother, the kit placed his small paws on his brothers muzzle, touching his cold nose to Blazingstar's forehead. "With this life, I give you friendship. Might not seem like something I'd give you, but use it well. I never got to have the friendship or brotherly love with you that I wished, so may this life give you many new acquaintances who will treat you just as well." stepping back, the fluffy kitten bowed his head and disappeared behind a tree.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing seemed to soften at the sight of his lost brother, enjoying the moment they never got to have. "Thank you Dewkit" He thanked as his eyes started to mist with tears. "And tell your brothers i miss them, will, ya?" He quickly added, calling after the starry form of Dewkit, watching as he disappeared

***-\_-Midnight-\_-))*** Among the crowd, an elderly she-cat approached the upcoming leader with a beam shone across her face as her eyes sparkled with yearning toward the brother she barely knew, with a sort of a figure of a kittypet collar accompanying her through her journey in the afterlife, with a little bell and charm dangling from it, echoing the ringing sounds of delight. The she-cat was probably forgotten by the leader because they only shared brief glances in Blazingstar's kithood before being captured by those twolegs. "It's good to see you again, brother. I'm sorry for leaving without a proper goodbye." Purred the she-cat to the dark tabby who happened to be her adopted brother. With one more step, the she-cat touched the tom's forehead, gently pressing it while murmuring, "With this life, I present you with faith. Cherish your family, clanmates, and ones who deserve it. Resist your fear; fear will never lead to you a positive end. Go for your faith and what you believe. We will all be beside you." Before stepping back so the leader ceremony continues before her silhouette began to vanish, shining one last time with a never fading smile.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing had turned towards the new face, not having seen the greyish brown she-cat before. It was only when she introduced herself as Blazingwing's adopted sister did he smile and wave his til in a silent greeting. As he receaved his life, the brown tabby smiled. The moment to visit old friends and family had lifted his spirits emencly , surpassing the pain and losses he had to endure. "Thank you sis,, take care.." Blazingwing murmured softly as Brookstream stepped back

***violent-measures))*** Swiftbird padded forward, her translucent reddish-brown fur sparkling with starlight so it looked like pale embers had settled along her back. She dipped her head to Blazingwing with a smile. “Hello, Blazingwing,” she greeted him with a welcoming swish of her tail. Walking forward, she said, “with this life, I give you compassion.” She touched her muzzle to his. “Help the weak, for no cat is lesser than you. Use your strength to protect those who need to be protected, and you will be rewarded with loyalty. Kindness always pays off in the end.” she smiled again and stepped back.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing purred at the sight of Swiftbird, an old family member, and friend. As the slimmer she-cat touched her nose to his forehead, the rush of old memories ran through his mind. From old childish crushes, to fights, and to the watching of his new nieces and nephews open their eyes for the first time. "Thank you Swiftbird. I do hope you, Coalheart(?), and you're kits are still doing well~" he said genuinely, smiling

***Confuzed\_Little\_Dino))*** The next cat to step forward was Skysong. The grey and white tabby looked around for a moment, then spotted blazingwing and broke out into a smile. She walked forward, trying to keep her long strides as graceful and elegant as the others, but it was clear she wanted to run over to her old friend and give him a hug. Instead when she reached him, she gave a very affectionate nuzzle. Pulling back, she looked up (down?) at her old friend. “ Blazingwing, let me first start off by saying how proud of you I am. You’ve grown up so much since I left riverclan, but I know that with you it will be in good paws. “ She paused, taking a slight breath. “ With this live I give you bravery, use it well and everyday. Be brave in all aspects of life, from the smallest decisions, to the largest. Be brave and confident and you will make riverclan an even better place. “ She reached out and touched her nose to his forehead. She withdrew her head and winked, “ Stay out of trouble fishbrain. “ With a small smirk, she turned and walked away, her long fluffy tail following behind her.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing broke into a wide grin seeing his old friend, lightly hopping on his feet in happiness. Skysong was his most closest friend and after all this time, seeing her felt like a dream. He returned her nuzzled and smiled wide as Skysong spoke. With her words, the tom closed his eyes and felt new strength corse through his veins. Though not physical- When the grey-patched she-cat pulled away, Blazingwing nodded in thanks. "haha-" He chuckled "i'll try not to.. for your sake~"

***dxskhuskii))*** Padding up to the soon-to-be-leader next was Falconblaze, his fluffy tail swaying behind him and a familiar grin upon his face. " Hello, dad. I've missed you. " He purred cheerfully, resting the gaze of his heterochromatic eyes upon Blazingwing as he stood before him. He followed his greeting by touching his nose to his father's forehead. " With this life, I give you resilience. Life is not a forgiving thing, nor is there any easy path through it. There will always be hard times you must overcome. Though you must be strong through those times, and you just be resilient. Face these challenges, these struggles, with resilience, and you will overcome them. " Finishing his words, he gave his father one last smile before stepping away.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** The moment he saw Falconblaze's warm brown fur, Blazingwing melted into a warm smile. He patiently stood as his son gave him his 6th life, tears starting to form in the corners of his eyes. It was hard to see Falconblaze here, in starclan, but Blazingwing resisted the urge to smother him in fatherly love, vowing to do it latter when they were alone in a not-so-urgent ceremony. Blazingwing glanced back up as Falconblaze stepped back, tears soaking into his fur. "Thank you, my boy" He whispered to him, sneaking in a quick nuzzle before his son stepped back and departed into the shadows, leaving room for the next visitor

***XxFormalityxX))*** (remember when I existed here? That was cool) Next, a pale, almost transparent looking ginger tabby walked forward. He was barely recognizable- His once vibrant leafy eyes had turned a cloudy and dull green, and his milky white paws seemed to seep into the ground below. "Blazingwing..?" Oakstrike spoke, barely more than a whisper with a lilt in his words at the end. "Ah... It is you. Hello again, brother." His face lightened from its solemn expression with a hazy smile, though it failed to reach his eyes. "I'm sorry... I'm not quite like myself recently. For your life, I give you the life of eternity. Though a bit ironic to my, uhm, current state..." He looked down at himself for a moment, before returning his eyes to the soon-to-be leader. "Many things fade away, but some things never change. We will always be brothers, and after this, you'll always be one of the leaders of Riverclan. The fish will always swim, the breeze will always carry song, and the ice will always melt, come Greenleaf." Oakstrike bowed his head, giving another smile to Blazingwing, but hesitating before he was meant to leave. (I didn't even think I wrote that much but man ok)

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing turned to the seemingly disappearing figure, barely recognizing them. Though the moment they spoke, Blazingwing smiled wide. "H- Hello Oakstrike" He choked, wiping his tears. Out of Blazingwing's more immediate family, he was the most Closest to Oakstrike in his youth so seeing his long lost brother unearthed almost forgotten memories. Blazingwing lowered his head, allowing his adopted brother to grant him his life, this time not trying to hide his tears. As Oakstrike pulled back, Blazingwing glanced back up, tilting his head in confusion. "What is it Oak?" The tom asked, cleaning his face from the salty tears so see him clearly

***XxFormalityxX))*** Oakstrike blinked a few times, as if pulled from a sudden daydream. "Oh... Apologies, it's just... I haven't seen you in a very long time." A soft smile returned to his face, and he tilted his head to the side. "How about a hug for your big brother? I can't feel as much anymore, but still..." His voice trailed off, but the cloudy smile remained.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "How could i say no-?" Blazingwing smiled softly, closign the distance between the two brothers and sitting on his hind legs so his forearms could wrap around the starry tom-cat. As he rested his muzzle in Oakstrike's fur, he breathed in the faint smell that he carried, filling his nose with homesickness and a longing for the past.. "I've missed you you know,, so much has happened that i want to tell you about-" He softly mumbled, tears starting to form in the corner of his eyes

***XxFormalityxX))*** Oakstrike returned the hug gently. "Heh, you tell me all about it afterwards. It can be my first conversation with the new leader." After a few moments, Oakstrike had to pull back as to not hold up everyone else, but dipped his head to Blazingwing with a smile, wiping the tears from his eyes with the back of his paw. "Good to see you again, little brother." He murmured before turning and taking his place with the cats who were finished giving their lives.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing gave a small laugh. "Yes, yes it can..." Blazingwing pulled pack when his brother did and smiled gently. The small gusts of wind gently running through the two brother's fur. "You too, take care Oakie" He waved with his tail, using a nickname for the Orange tabby. A few tears escaped when Oakstrike disappeared but he wiped them away quickly, reassuring to himself that he would see him again soon enough

***chaiined-swanss))*** filling in for paleheart + mosslight bc yeah they're not replying and the rp is taking a month to finish - i don't know these characters that well apologies lmao uh. all my info is taken from the wiki ! >> a slender brown tabby slowly padded up, smiling as a greeting to her son. 'hey there, blazingwing - it's been a bit since i've seen you, how's riverclan been?' her fluffy tail waved a bit in the wind. (hang on is there wind in starclan help me) 'with this life, i give you transience. cherish the memories you have. although everything you've experienced only lasts for mere moments, let them remain in your memory. keep them safe, and never forget.' as mosslight faded away, retaking her place amongst those of starclan, a dusty board shouldered cat took her spot. 'with this life, i give you ambition. the extent of how far you can go relies on you yourself. do not be blinded. do not waver. keep walking the path that you believe in.' smiling, he turned around. 'good job, little one. Now you can truly be the leader of daddyheadclan. I'm proud of you, blazingstar.'

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** its fine dwdw, and thank you for doing this sob- you where the only person that was somewhat related to them and also not Lavii since they didn't respond to my original msg so- <333)) Blazingwing waited for the next cat to apear though was stunned to see his mother emerge from the mist: the old tom had not seen his mother for countless moons. "Ma-" Blazingwing whispered, eyes quickly becoming clouded with tears of joy. He quickly closed the distance between them, and nuzzled her quickly, still knowing he was in a ceremony of lives. He pulled back and listened to her speak, granting him his 7th life. After Mosslight was finished, Blazingwing gently rested his head on her shoulder, burring his muzzle in her chest fur. "I've missed you so much mom-" He softly spoke, tears staining her chocolate fur. Mosstlight's words fell on deaf ears as her son's thoughts where elsewhere but came back to reality when she pulled a way, smiling as she said her good byes. Blazingwing hated to see her go once again but promised that they would chat again sometime.... Though Blazingwing's sorrow was short lives as all to familiar pale, cream fur came forth, a pelt he could never forget no matter how hard he tried. Though this time Blazingwing was to stunned to move, to stunned to even wipe the tears from his fluffy cheeks. He watched as his father, Paleheart, padded up to him, a wide, fatherly grin adorning his starry face. Blazingwing recalled the first time after his father's death that, Blazingkit at the time, had reunited with his father, explaining how he looked funny without his scars... Palehearts words seemed muffled to Blazingwing at first but the brown tabby focused to hear what live was given. As Paleheart ended, mentioning the old game they used to play with his lost brother, Adderpaw, and Mosslight, Blazingwing broke. He jumped forward and held onto his father, wrapping his paws around his shoulders. "heh, it's been so long since ive heard that name- Thank you dad,, for everything. I love you, take care-" He mumbled to Paleheart. He pulled back , watching as his father turned away but the tabby tom never get to see him disappear his eyes suddenly became heavy and his sight blurry, taking only a few moments before fully succumbing to darkness. Blazingwing- no.. Blazing/star/ awoke to the fringed ice touching his nose and a tingling sensation upon his forehead... He stood up slowly, processing his ceremony. Freedom, Friendship, Faith, Compassion, Bravery, Resilience, Eternity, Transience, and finally Ambition... All of the lives the new Riverclan leader was gifted.... Blazingstar didn't know what to say, the though of ever having the honor of this role was foolish to him so standing here seemed unreal- Though the old tabby tom shook off his thoughts, saving them from when he got back to Riverclan where he would have to appoint the new deputy... Finally finding Martenbloom, the two cats slowly started the trek back. Blazingstar took one last glance at the moonpool before turning away and padded back towards his home.

* Deputy Ceremony

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingstar slowly made his way up the river's edge(totally didn't forget the name-) when the sun was highest in the sky. When he and Martenbloom finally passed through Riverclan's thorned barrier, it was near midnight; most if not every cat already sound asleep. With that, the newly named leader decided to host the ceremony tomorrow, not wanting to wake everyone at such an hour.. The next day Blazingstar found himself where he stood now,, about to call the clan.. “Let all cats old enough to swim gather here below the River Ledge for a clan meeting!” he finally called, his low voice booming throughout the camp.

***fourdiirtypaws))*** Otterchase blinked up from the fresh-kill pile, a squished mouse hanging limply in his jaws. He couldn't have guessed the importance of this ceremony, it wasn't like anything was out of the ordinary. Blazingwing addressing his clan in this manner was such a familiar occurrence. For all he knew, some cat was getting their warrior name, or having their apprentice ceremony. With that in mind, he didn't pay all that much attention, instead choosing to seek out a nice shady place to eat his mouse.

***-\_Gentlebreeze\_-))*** (sorry for lack of flowers on reply I'm getting this out ASAP) Clearwhisp leapt down from her Aspen Perch, curiosity coruscating in her teal gaze. Wasn't all of the kits apprentices already? What was /this/ about, then? She peered around a corner, surveying the gathering cats, before cautiously padding into the gathered crowd. She looked up at Blazingstar, ears erect and twitching to hear what he'd announce next. She recalled Ospreyfewther being called to a position in a ceremony like this, Didn't he? Maybe another deputy was being chosen? Questions swirled around her head, as her tail tip twitched slowly behind her.

***Dovespiral\_))*** Nettlehaze padded out of the warriors den, his tabby pelt ruffled up as an attempt to block out some of the frigid air from making him as cold. Ears flicking at the sound of Blazingwing calling for a meeting of some sort, the tabby simply shook out his fur and blinked a few times, dazed by the sunny light of the day before making his way to the River Ledge. He took a glance around at his fellow gathering clanmates before settling down in a spot towards the side of the forming crowd

***ShadowHat))*** Hawkcrest gave a quick glance towards high rock, his green eyes a dead giveaway of his curiosity. The tom let out a thoughtful “hmph”, but not much more as silence was quick to devour him. So, naturally, his eyes were set on Blazingstar. It was all crazy to Hawkcrest, his apprentice being of warrior age, his old mentor announcing something out of the blue. Perhaps there were more apprentices, he mused. It wasn’t like Hawkcrest kept any track of the happenings inside of the nursery, anyway; he preferred to stay far, far away from kits and the way they pointlessly waste time. At that thought, he wandered closer to the River Ledge, away from the nursery—as if kits would suddenly come pouring out of every crevice he had seen in camp.

***yahkisntdonewithyou))*** Cinnamondust poked her tortoiseshell head out of the warrior's den curiously. She flicked her tail and padded out, where she spotted a number of familiar pelts, namely Clearwhisp, Otterchase and Nettlehaze. She decided to pad a bit away from them and sat down, where she watched with silent interest.

***-eveninq))*** ➶ -͙˚ ❀ | Rather conveniently padding through the camp's entrance was a bicoloured tom, various sprigs and blossoms he could find amidst the frost gathered in his jaws. Astersky had thought that perhaps it would be a nice sentiment to the current queens to decorate the nursery.. just as Ospreyfeather had, long ago. It seemed his plans would be postponed, however, as the warrior determined that Blazingwing had called a ceremony. Although it wasn't exactly atypical of the deputy to host meetings in place of Badgerstar, to do so with no apparent cats of the correct age for a ceremony was certainly an anomaly. What purpose could such a gathering serve? Regardless, Astersky was content to delay his less-than-urgent plans and joined his gathered clanmates. The bobtail set the bundle at his paws, eyes brimming with curiosity as he gazed up towards the short-statured tabby.

***@Scorching\_Winds))*** + A slender silver tabby and white she-cat with cream-colored patches walked out of the warriors' den, wondering what the meeting was about. Her green eyes surveyed camp, curiously. She didn't see any kits, so this wasn't an apprentice ceremony. Sunflame went over and sat down, watching her leader curiously. +

***@PiinkPeony))*** ❀ Wooly'meadow padded her way out of the Apprentices' Den, she hadn't gotten the chance to make herself a nest quite yet in the Warriors' Den, so for now her old one would just have to do. She padded down the slope, and her eyes widened in surprise at the sheer amount of cats gathered at the River Ledge. If this was just a Warrior or Apprentice ceremony, why were so many felines here? Whoever this cat was, they were sure loved! ❀

***Nebby-Liights))*** Beenose bounced over, a questioning glint in her green eyes. Was his leader ceremony completed already? Or maybe he was just informing them all that he would be going on the journey to accept his nine lives. As she regarded the tom upon the River Ledge, she noted that something about him seemed to shine a bit more. He seemed to have more pride and power than before, but she couldn't figure out if it was real or just in her mind. She sat down, watching him, with her tail neatly over her paws.

***\_\_HappyDays\_\_))*** Leopardfrost came on over. She knew this wasn't an apprentice ceremony or a warrior ceremony, she knew that. But she did not know what the ceremony was for.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingstar watched as his clanmate's filled into the clearing, twiddling his toes while doing so. He didn't know why he was so nervous- maybe because he feared his choice would anger other? Blazingstar shook his head, he took all of last night and todays morning thinking of all the wonderful candidates, he know he made the right choice... Looking back up onto the sea of cats, Blazingstar finally spoke once again. "I have brought you all here to name Riverclan's new deputy. As most of you know, Badgerstar has stepped down meaning i have taken his place.. though that also means there has been a vacancy open...I say these words before Starclan, so that the-spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of Riverclan will be... Otterchase" he said, nodding to the brown-ish tom amidst the crowd

***Nebby-Liights))*** Beenose couldn't say she approved of Blazingwing's decision, but she respected it nonetheless. Maybe with this responsibility, Otterchase would become a better cat, one more focused on what others needed from him. Pushing her own doubts away, she smiled at Blazingwing, then raised her voice to cheer for Otterchase.

***fourdiirtypaws))*** Otterchase had been munching away idly at his mouse, one ear swivelled in the direction of the crowd, the rest of his attention otherwise directed to the fluffy prey at his paws. He glanced up slightly at the mentioning of there being a new deputy. His interest had been peaked, and whilst he was now looking on, he still gnawed away at his mouse. He didn't consider it disrespectful- he could do two things at once, that was fine. He furrowed his brows when he reached a particularly chewy part, giving a quiet grumble as he was forced to gnaw at it harder. That was when his name rung out across the clearing, the little tom freezing on the spot, half a mouse hanging from his jaws. It was almost as if time had slowed to a complete stop, socked paws dotted with mouse blood. "I-" he stammered, his heart thundering in his chest. Had he heard that right? "What?" he whispered.

***-\_Gentlebreeze\_-))*** Clearwhisp stood there, frozen. What? Otterchase? No, this was some mistake. Otterchase couldn't possibly... No. She shook her head, biting her shoulder. It wasn't a dream. She felt happy for Otterchase, but she didn't... She didn't think that he'd be a deputy. She just stood there, jaw dropped and her body trembling, whispering, "Oh dear."

***yahkisntdonewithyou))*** Cinnamondust stared in shock. Did... did she hear that correctly? She sat there for a moment, then her face broke into a wide beam. Otterchase. She almost couldn't believe it. She joined in with Beenose and cheered. "Otterchase!" She purred and padded over to him.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingwing gestured for him to come forward before leaping down from the ledge, crossing the stream that separated him from the rest of the clan. "I know- many of you may seem confused by my choice.. Its quite clear Otterchase is more childlike than..."maTurE" but i do know that, with some guidance, he will bring joy to Riverclan and lead us well." Blazingstar explained. "I mean... was /i/ not as childish when i was younger as well? how could i be one to judge another's freedom-"

***-\_Gentlebreeze\_-))*** She bit back her words, keeping herself from saying anything more. She was even, admittedly, a little jealous that she didn't. But she frowned upon herself for thinking that. She had kittypet blood. It was only natural that she... She wouldn't be recognized by Starclan. She simply just stared at Otterchase, trying to speak, and trying to agree with her leader, but she couldn't move. She shook her head again. /Otterchase/?!

***fourdiirtypaws))*** Otterchase couldn't believe what was going on right now, still starting up in utter disbelief from his place beneath a shady tree at the very back of the crowd. The mouse he'd been feasting on has fallen from his agape mouth. He couldn't feel his paws. Apparently he hadn't misheard either- oh no. Cats were cheering his name. /His/ name. He didn't even recognise Cinnamondust approaching him, flinching at her familiar voice. He looked a little distressed and panicked, his fur fluffed up as he glanced up at her worriedly, seeking reassurance.

***fourdiirtypaws))*** A little dizzy, Otterchase stumbled to his paws, tripping over his discarded mouse as he approached his leader. Thankfully, he managed to catch himself before he could hit the ground, laughing awkwardly. He couldn't even feel properly embarrassed, everything was numb. "So this is for real?" he asked quietly as he gazed up at Blazingstar, milky eyes round with almost every conceivable emotion.

***yahkisntdonewithyou))*** Cinnamondust licked between his ears. "Oh, I'm so proud of you!" She exclaimed, lashing her tail enthusiastically. "Don't worry, bud. I'm sure you'll be a great deputy." She coiled her tail around his briefly, then purred.

***fourdiirtypaws))*** Her words warmed his heart and for a few moments all he could do was blink dumbly back at her. Throughout his entire apprenticeship, his main goal, what he'd strived for the most, was to make Cinnamondust proud. He could never have imagined /this/. He butted his head into her shoulder, fighting away tears. "I'll try." he whispered shakily.

***\_\_HappyDays\_\_))*** Leopardfrost came on over. She knew this wasn't an apprentice ceremony or a warrior ceremony, she knew that. But she did not know what the ceremony was for.@fourdiirtypaws "Of course kid,, do i seem like the one to lie about something this important? Or, in general?" Blazingstar responded, purring warmly. "Don't worry, ill be right by your side along the way-" He added, licking Otterchase's forehead in reassurance

***yahkisntdonewithyou))*** Cinnamondust pressed her nose to the top of his head. "It's okay." She murmured. She pulled softly away. "You're going to do so good. Just imagine- one day, you'll be Otterstar." Her gaze seemed to glitter, to be filled with stars. Her former apprentice was now her deputy. It honestly amazed her. He'd come so far.

***fourdiirtypaws))*** He daftly shook his head, trembling with awe. He supposed not. But even still- that didn't make any of this feel more real. In a way, perhaps it was a good thing he'd been rendered virtually speechless. A loud scream of shock probably wouldn't have been a good look. "Okay." he nodded hesitantly, a shaky smile climbing it's way across his face. Yeah, yeah! He had Blazingstar on his side. And Cinnamondust! Nothing could possibly go wrong, not with the two bravest cats he knew around to guide him. Otterchase mumbled a shaky purr, the finest bit of his light flickering through as his fear slowly began to melt away. He lifted himself a little up onto his back paws with the intentions of touching noses with Blazingstar, only for him to bonk his head against his leader's chin. "Whoops."

***MutedVoice))*** Camillewish padded over, looking curious. Hadn't all the ceremonies been finished? She remembered hearing the names of the new warriors and apprentices yesterday, so she didn't understand why he was calling them back.

***PiinkPeony))*** ❀ Wooly'meadow practically bounced in her spot amongst the other cats, managing to even knock into a few. Her laughter was loud and clear, a joyous tone in her voice. Otterchase was the Deputy! Wooly'meadow knew that she obviously wasn't going to be chosen, not with her just becoming a Warrior and having never trained an Apprentice. It was the primary reason she felt no jealousy or bitterness towards her friend whatsoever. "Otterchase! Otterchase!" Woolypaw shouted brightly, her voice beginning to lightly crack from the volume she was using. ❀

***Scorching\_Winds))*** + Sunflame let out a yowl of surprise and happiness as she rushed up to Otterchase. "Oh, my gosh! Congrats, Otterchase!" she meowed, smiling as widely as she possibly could. She was super happy for her cousin, and he deserved becoming deputy. +

***ShadowHat))*** yESSS Deputy Otterkit—I mean chase, ehehe)) Otterchase? Deputy? Clearly something wasn’t right. Was this a dream, or, more accurately, a nightmare? But no, his brothers name had been spoken, uttered. Was Blazingstar delirious? He must’ve been; no sane cat would make Otterchase the deputy. He bit back a hiss, avoiding the River Ledges taunting gaze. Dear StarClan, he used to look up to his grandfather so much, but, clearly—clearly—he was no cat worthy of respect, not after choosing Otterchase for such an important role. Bitterly, the dark tom edged himself away from the crowd of cats. Stupid, stupid RiverClan.A spike of jealousy surged inside of the warriors chest. Why couldn’t it have been Hawkcrest, a cat who didn’t act like a child? Though, it didn’t seem to occur to him that, in the end, he was just as kit-like as Otterchase, only Hawkcrest was a different form of childish. He was selfish too, the moments he tried to get away. The tom couldn’t even look up, meet the gaze of his speckled face, his goofy grin.

·       Catching a non-Riverclan warrior at the border

***Silvermoon1243))*** Crp w/ the new leader, Blazingstar (also is it ok if I nickname him Pheonix :0 I think it would be cool lol) || Sunsinebeam approached the Riverclan/Shadowclan border and sniffed the air. /I can’t smell any recent markings…./ she thought, walking over to the river and rubbing her paws on a small, smooth stone next to it. She smiled happily. /I’m glad to have done something for my clan./ her smile faltered. /finally…/ she sighed and examined the terrain nearby.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** sure!!)) "A bit to close to the border dontcha' think kiddo?" A low voice sounded from inside the reeds. They rustled for a bit before a large, muscular tom-cat stepped through the tall plants, a calm look on his face. Blazingstar has thought about jumping out and scaring the young cat but decided that was too "child-like" in the end, opting for the more calmer approach. "a bit further and you'll be in ye ol Riverclan territory-"

***Silvermoon1243))*** She reeled back, surprised. “A-ah he-hello.” She mewed nervously. “Sorry, I, Erm, I can step back.” She scooted back a little, and looked at the Tom. He had a scar over one of his eyes and was big. Much bigger than her. While she was agile and fast, as any Windclan-born cat, she was not built to fight the current. Clearly, this cat was. Her ears folded back slightly in intimidation, and not fear. /hold your ground, Sunsinebeam/ she thought, digging her claws into the grass.

***@xXWolfSoulXx))*** SORRY!! was eating lunch :'0)) Blazingstar watched as she backed up. /Am i that frightening?/ He thought, glancing down at Sunsinebeam's visible claws "no need to be so on edge- I'm not one to start fights over a whisker on our territory no mater my status." Blazingstar assured, nodding his head to gesture at her claws. "Either way, considering my age, my old bones aren't as good as they used to be.." He added, finally stepping out of the reeds fully to sit down and pick the leaves off his fur.

***Silvermoon1243))*** No worries!!)) She unsheathed her claws, still wary but not worried. “… status?” She asked, wondering. /does he mean…. Oh, right! It was announced at the last gathering I went to that Badgerstar was stepping down! Could he have been his deputy… and now, leader?/ she looked thoughtfully at the reeds, blowing in the wind. “I see, so, you’re the new leader?” She asked curiously. /I can’t say much, as I’ve never personally met all the leaders, but he seems a bit… laid-back? Like he isn’t worried that there’s a cat from another clan, right across from him. Then again, all the cats I’ve met from other clans haven’t seemed threatening or cruel./ she shrugged. /maybe that’s a good thing./

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** "indeed, im Blazingwi- er, star- Blazingstar" He corrected himself, fiddling with his toes, embarrassed after his mix-up. It was quite clear the tom had yet to get comfortable with his new title. "im sorry, i never asked for your name,, you are?" Blazingstar asked, looking back up at the golden(? right?) cat in front of him.

* Icescating with Otterchase (Star Blessed Festival)

***fourdiirtypaws))*** [ CRP w/Blazingstar - Frozen pond games :) ] The camp was relatively quiet that morning when Otterchase pushed through the reeds surrounding the Duck Pond. It was one of the locations Blazingstar had assured his clan it was safe to skate on, but even still, Otterchase was hesitant to place a socked paw on the ice, only doing so after inspecting it himself with his whiskers. Once he'd placed that first paw down however, all his other limbs where quick to follow. Soon enough, he was slowly sliding across the ice, in circles, with absolutely no control, all four of his paws splayed out awkwardly. But he was very obviously having fun, giggling away to himself.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingstar, who was about to go to the duckpond to relax, had found the young deputy sliding on the ice quite ungracefully. He smiled at his childish joy and set a paw on the fridged ice "ha- someone seems to be having fun" The tabby tom chuckled, his tone laced in amusement. Blazingstar then hoped on the ice himself, sliding a bit farther than he would have liked but thankfully his long fur giving him some sort of friction. "Got room for another?"

***fourdiirtypaws))*** "Blazingstar!" Otterchase yelped in surprise, his mew heavy with both dazzled excitement and fear. This yanked him right out of his icy orbit, a forepaw slipping out from under him. The little chocolate tom's chest fell against the ice with an 'oof', his rump sticking up in the air. Claws clicking against the ice, he attempted to scramble back to his paws but was failing spectacularly. He was saved, however, from a continuous cycle of spinning when he collided with the pond's bank, clinging desperately to it's frigid dirt with unsheathed claws. No! Thick panic and anger rose in his throat, Otterchase kicking madly at the frozen pond, half of him still splayed across it as he held onto the bank with his forepaws. That disastrous display probably made for the absolute worst first impression post deputy ceremony ever! Stupid, stupid ice! But he could save this. He had to save this. "Yes, Blazingstar, sir!" he shouted loudly, lifting a paw to his head in an impromptu salute

* Talk with Ravenflight

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** timeskipping Blazing's life thing because Raven's dying asDAS || CRP w/ Raven <33)) Blazingstar sat near the Duck pond, fiddling with a small leaf wrap beneath him as the gentle wind pushed ripples through his reflection. He gazed at his wrapped eye, cobwebs plastered on the still healing mark of his taken life as the horrifying realization that, if he didn't have his nine lives, he would be buried at this exact moment. A loud call of a raven tore him out of his thoughts as he jumped to the sudden noise. The raven coked it's head, called again, and then spread its glossy, midnight black wings and took off. Blazingstar watched as it flew of into the cloudless sky until it was just a tiny dot in the sky. Sighing, he liked back down to his bundle and slowly unwrapped it, revealing the few tree seeds inside.

***misty-raven))*** (THE RAVEN THOUGH) A lithe black she-cat slunk out from the Medicine Den and slowly padded towards a mossy log at the edge of camp. She didn't know why she was going there, but something about it felt familar. A lot of things had been feeling familiar recently. If only she could actually remember /why/. Her blue eyes were murky with distant memories of cats long passed - Oakstrike, Swiftbird, Poolpaw, Mosspelt, Drizzleshine. Cats that had taught her so many valuable things. All gone. The old she-cat sighed and continued padding slowly forward, not noticing the injured tom in her path. Her white paws met a fluffy tail, and before she knew what was happening, she was flat on her face with a small /oof/.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingstar gasped in fright, and spun around to the fallen figure. The sight of black fur worsened in fear even more as he gently picked Ravenflight up from the ground. "Im so sorry love-!! Are you alright!? are you hurt?" He frantically asked, dusting the grass off her sleek pelt, starting from her forearms and working his way up until he reached her face. Making eye contact, he let his large paws cradle her face as his eyes softened with adoration and fondness

***misty-raven))*** Her frightened, slightly dazed blue eyes met his. The strange tom was craddling her head. She frowned. Why would he do that? He didn't look familiar to her. She hissed and wriggled out of his embrace. "Who are you?" she asked angrily

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingstar cocked his head in confusion. What kind of cruel joke was this? He knew Raven likes to poke fun but she didn't go this far.... "oh.. im-" He mumbled, swiftly pulling back his paw from her face. "Im.. Blazingstar.. your.. mate?" He answered, questioning even his self as he started fiddling with his tail anxiously

***misty-raven))*** ASDDFGHJJKL- ) "I have no mate..." she trailed off as an image of Coalheart flew into her mind. She pushed it away. "Blazing/star/?!" she asked, evidently surprised. "Drizzlestar is leader here. Are you from another Clan?"

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** the second hand embarrassment taking place-)) Blazingstar furrowed his brows. He didn't know much of Drizzlestar, as she died before he was old enough to remember, but still knew of Riverclan's old leader. "You mean Riverclan's leader before Badgerstar? I'm sorry, but, Drizzlestar died a long time ago...Badgerstrike took her place then I took his." He explained softly, fear lacing his voice. "Ravenflight, what's going on? This joke has gone to far dear, your worrying me..."

***misty-raven))*** Her fur bristled again. "Joke? You mock me, stranger. Badgerstrike is a deputy. Drizzlestar is alive and well. Who do you think you are, coming into our camp and making a fool of RiverClan?" She stared at him intensely. His eyes were filled with...fear? Why fear? Maybe he was afraid of her. She puffed out her chest proudly and gazed at him with ferocity.

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** ASD CRAP IM SO SOSRRY-)) Blazingstar frowned. "Raven, that was moons ago. Does the state of Riverclan not support that?" He tried reasoning, his voice soft and gentle as he gestured to the wind torn grass and vines littering Riverclan. While many warriors had cleaned up form the storm there where still scars of the past cold front. One being the fallen tree beside the Duckpond. "Please try to remeber.."

***misty-raven))*** NO WORRIES I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND)) She carefully eyed the camp. It was littered with dead branches and patches of snow and slush. She kicked at a rock near her paw and watched it fly through the air skate across the frozen surface of the duck pond, coming to a halt in the middle. "Remember what? I have a very sharp memory, thank you very much. And I don't know who Raven is." She raised a concerened eyebrow at him. "Maybe you're the one loosing your memory, talking to this 'Raven' cat."

***xXWolfSoulXx))*** Blazingstar tilted his head in confusion. "Raven is your...name? I mean yes i do shorten it from Raven/flight/ but... Close enough is it not?" He explained, slowly getting more worried by the minute. To believe the past is still present, to not remember your own mate, and to not even acknowledge your name is your own was something Blazingstar had never dealt with before. Feeling frustrated, he pinched at his tail fur, trying to calm his emotions
