Timeline

### Moon 6

Fleckbite's sprain is healed, but Fernstripe gets heatstroke. Snapwatcher goes to Sharpclan to solve recent hunting disputes and is able to come up with a plan that satisfies both clans needs. Applepool praises Cragpaw, assuring him that he'll be ready for his warrior assessment next moon. On the other hand, Bigpaw is nearly crushed by some falling branches while out training with Rosethorn, but she made it out with only a few scrapes. Drizzlefang dares Leapmoss to go on a hunting patrol with her near twolegplace. Leapmoss knows it's a bad idea but is unable to say no to the pretty she-cat. They manage to catch some prey with only mild interruptions from twolegs. A young rogue named Wheat is found trespassing and stealing prey from Fallenclan, but is quickly scared off by a border patrol.

### Moon 7

A peaceful loner named Archie visited Fallenclan with her newborn kits. She had no desire for motherhood but still wanted the kits to be safe. She had heard good things of Fallenclan from other outsiders and decided to give her kits, Mumble and Rye, up to the clan. They were renamed Mumblekit and Ryekit, Basilheart and Shimmerlily decided to adopt them. Cragpaw and Bigpaw become warriors and are named Cragstorm and Bigleaf. Bigleaf falls ill with greencough and while in the medicine den decides to start wearing holly berries as an accessory. Onekit and Tansykit are made apprentices. Onepaw is given to Drizzlefang while Tansypaw is given to Fleckbite. Fernstripe recovers from heatstroke. LEAPMOSS DIES FIGHTING A FOX WHILE ON PATROL IM BAWLING MY EYES OUT. Drizzlefang and Gullflood are consumed by grief at the news. (They’re both just like me fr.)

### Moon 8

Leaf-Fall

Northtooth and Fernstripe recover from the shock of witnessing Leapmoss' death. Bigleaf manages to recover quickly from her case of greencough, but it spreads to Snapwatcher instead. The same fox that killed Leapmoss attacks Rosethorn while on patrol, he's able to get away with the help of his clanmates but not without injuries. Gullflood was on the same patrol and also suffered mild injuries. Gullflood also has a running nose, which makes the healers nervous due to the greencough going around camp. Laurellightning gives Anttail a poppy to wear on his pelt. Ryekit keeps playing too rough with the other kits. Pricklegorse follows Gullflood and Minnowstrike out on a hunting patrol and doesn't seem to be taking it seriously. Pricklegorse ends up bringing back the most amount of prey and is very smug about it, much to Minnowstrike and Gullflood's annoyance.

### Moon 9

Leaf-Bare

Bayoumouse and Fleckbite both announced that they're expecting kits. The healers realize that Mumblekit has allergies, this is a permanent condition. They realize this because the she-kit keeps sneezing so hard that she falls over. Snapwatcher recovers from greencough, and Gullfloods injuries are healed. Cragstorm confesses to Hounddapple and they become mates. A patrol led by Applepool tries to find the red fox and cubs that's been attacking the clan, but instead they find a small gray fox feeding on a deer carcass. Applepool chases it off anyway and steals the deer carcass for the freshkill pile. A border patrol sees Archie just outside the territory and greet her politely. She nods back at them but makes no effort to exchange small talk, instead darting back into the woods outside of clan territory.

### Moon 10

Leaf-Bare

Bayoumouse and Fleckbite move to the nursery together. Applepool announces that shes expecting kits as well. Harekit is made an apprentice and is given to the young Bigleaf. Nectarpetal, Applepool, Buzzardspeck, and Gullflood all somehow managed to sprain their paw. Drizzlefang has gotten yellowcough, and Rosethorn's wounds have healed. Pricklegorse spent too long out on a hunting patrol and came back with frostbite, Shimmerlily thinks this sounds familiar. Due to Drizzlefang currently having yellowcough, Onepaw is forced to train with Bigleaf and Harepaw until her mentor recovers. The two apprentices constantly fight during training, and while Bigleaf is very good at talking them down, a bit of resentment follows them even back at camp. Due to Fleckbite being in the nursery, Tansypaw's training is taken over by Minnowstrike for the time being. Despite being moved to the nursery, with Nectarpetal having a sprained paw Bayoumouse decides to still help Echofox gather herbs. The two healers talk about the afterlife as they gather horsetail. Wheat is once again spotted on Fallenclan territory, and is once again easily scared off.

### Moon 11

Leaf-Bare

Bayoumouse gives birth to Bumblekit and Rowankit. Fleckbite gives birth to Brackenkit. Anttail visits Tornclan to solve recent hunting disputes and is able to do so easily. Everyone's sprains heal and Applepool moves to the nursery. The fox that killed Leapmoss attacks yet again, this time badly mangling Minnowstrike's tail. Birchstar has fallen ill with greencough, and soon after little newborn Bumblekit starts coughing. While Birchstar is strong, the healers are extremely worried about Bumblekit. With Minnowstrike in the medicine den, Tansypaw's training is once again uprooted. For this moon at least, he simply tags along with Onepaw and Harepaw. A rogue named Flint is found badly injured on Fallenclan territory. The healers try to save the she-cat, but they were too late. The clan gives the outsider a proper clan burial. A border patrol once again spots Archie, this time hanging out with two other loners, Drift and Arch. The patrol alerts the group about Flint's death, and while no one in the group were close to her, they promise to spread the news to those who knew her better.

### Moon 12

Newleaf

Applepool gives birth to her litter of 3 kits, Sycamorekit, Timberkit, and Lilackit. Birchstar and Drizzlefang are both able to recover from their respecful coughs, but Bumblekit seems to just barely be clinging on. During one of the final frosty nights before the newleaf warmth arrived, Ryekit snuck out of camp. The troublesome kit was quickly found by Shimmerlily, but not before getting frostbite. Drizzlefang's grief will always follow her, but she knows Leapmoss wouldn't want her to grieve her forever. The red fox strikes again, unexpected this time. Pricklegorse had gone with Anttail on a trip to Barrenclan, only to stumble upon the hungry mother and her now nearly fully grown pups. Pricklegorse fought with all he had but was outnumbered, the foxes manged to kill him. Anttail desperately tried to help, but his brave warrior days were long behind him. He was swiftly defeated and killed. Birchstar, Fleckbite, Bayoumouse, Applepool, Basilheart, Echofox, Nectarpetal, and Laurellightning all fall into grief. Shimmerlily secretly thinks it's for the best that Anttail has passed, but would never say it out loud. She comforts Basilheart and her other clanmates to the best of her abilities. Onepaw is happy to have his mentor back, and the two have a nice training session. Drizzlefang feels bad that Onepaw will be a warrior next moon and it feels like she barely got to train him. Tansypaw once again tags along with Harepaw and Bigleaf, feeling extremely upset and embarrassed that they'll be a warrior next moon and yet they feel like they haven't been properly trained at all. Archie purposely seeks out a Fallenclan patrol and mournfully informs them that Drift was killed by a fox. The clan cats tell the loner of their own horrid experiences with the beast, and Archie's eyes light up with a vicious light. She vows to take revenge for her fallen friend, and wishes the clan cats well with chasing the beasts off their land. The patrol offers to bring Archie back to camp to heal her own wounds but she refuses, claiming she knows enough about herbs to deal with it. With a respectful nod to the senior loner, the patrol heads back to camp, Archie a vengeful shadow darting back into the undergrowth beyond clan territory.
