## History

### Kithood

Archstone was born as Archkit a little younger than a moon behind Barkkit during Gingerstar's leadership, he and his half-brother shared a father, whilst their mothers often bickered for their father's attention. despite this, he and barkkit always remained close as siblings.

### Apprenticeship

Archpaw is in disbelief when Barkpaw loses his tail to a pack of dogs which he'd provoked, despite being disappointed in his brother, he advised him against changing his name, yet regardless, barkpaw changed his name to notail, as self-punishment for what he'd done.

### Warriorhood

Archstone served many moons as Blossomclan's warrior, though he was given a hard time by most around him, specifically for his uncaring and sleepy attitude towards responsibilities. he is happy when Notail is selected as deputy when owlstar becomes the new leader and thinks that the role was suited for him perfectly. Notail thinks Archstone should prove his worth and decides to appoint him an apprentice named Wolfpaw.

Archstone falls for a she-cat named Bloodpoppy, someone who is deeply troubled because of her past kithood, she grows to love his laid-back personality and they become mates. the tom thinks the world has been gifted to him and he is deeply grateful as he aids notail through the stresses of his deputy position. he even accompanies him to the moonstone and witnesses as he's given his own set of nine lives.

### pushed into hardship

Archstone soon hears from his mate that she is expecting kits and speaks his excitement to raise his very own family with her. even imagining situations such as lounging with his kits in the summer warmth. it isn't long until four kits are born between the two of them, they name them Pepperkit, Poppykit, Palekit and falconkit.

of course, directly after Archstone feels as if he has it all before, he loses one of his family. a stray adder slithers its way into the nursery and strikes Bloodpoppy, killing her shortly after. Archstone is horrified by the sudden loss, confiding in Notail for comfort. he makes to raise the kits to the best of his ability, safety and all. he makes the promise to start pulling his weight to protect his new family upon moving into the nursery.

despite the difficult task of single parenting, Archstone is helped by all members of the clan, managing to coach all four until they become apprentices.

the tom soon finds himself growing lonely without the presence of his kits, so he begins to find hobbies, even requesting that notail give him a secondary apprentice. he soon finds himself teaching blarepaw the ways of being a warrior.

Archstone is the first tom who wishes to see palepelt's kit when he hears of the birth, despite his son rejecting his wishes, palepelt promises to show him his grandkit when he's ready and the black and white tom purrs with pride. he eventually does get to greet rushkit in time, though he takes note of how controlling palepelt is a as a parent, he chalks it up to his son just experiencing the worry of being a first-time father.

### Ageing into peace

Archstone is said to have been comforting his son with the death of rushstem, even supporting the decision for his to move into the elder's den until he recovers from his grief.
