WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

There was a pause before Blazingstar dared to ask. "Have you ever heard of a clan getting driven out?" he inquired, his voice hiding his intentions behind this question. Despite knowing how much StarClan would disapprove, RiverClan and/or ThunderClan needed to learn a lesson. His concerns had changed from ThunderClan to RiverClan though after seeing how aggressive Fallenstar had become in recent moons. The ebony leader had lost his mind.

Fallenfeather looked down at his paws to think about it for a momrnt. "Why no I haven't. All five clans should be together not driven apart." replied the tom, starring right into tje leaders eyes. Deep down in his heart he was hoping that he wouldn't drive out any clans, especially the ones they've been having trouble with. "Even how much we don't like one another we should never drive them out. You must think about the kits and the elders how will they ever get anywhere?" wondered Fallenfeather.

Slatesnow buried the robin bones from his meal, perking an ear as Skyfoot spoke again. The silvery white tom sucked in a breath. He was rarely asked to go along hunting with a clanmate that wasn't kin or for a patrol. It took him back for a moment. "Yes." He answered quickly, "I mean...yes, I'll go along with you." Slatesnow stood up beside the she-cat, smiling lightly.

He moved his tongue in rhythmic strokes down his shoulder, making sure each piece of fur lay flat. Thing had been rather slow for the apprentice; halfway through his training and Shiningfeather had simply disappeared. He was on track to become a warrior in less than two or three moons, and suddenly she was just gone. The ache that Jaypaw felt in his heart hadn't really disappeared, and he missed the friendly she-cat. She was the only cat who truly believed me to be full WindClan, he thought, a bit crestfallen as he brought his head up and parted his gray maw in a rather large yawn.

Despite the feeling of fatigue he felt settle into his muscles, the tom knew he at least wanted to greet his new mentor that Blazingstar had assigned him. Moorfoot. He hadn't really seen the warrior around - or any of his Clanmates, for that matter, due to working hard with his training - so his nerves were a bit on edge. His pale yellow gaze flickered around camp, searching for the lanky tom his leader had described to him. Across the clearing, near the fresh-kill pile, Jaypaw spotted him, seemingly searching for him as well. With a deep breath in, the gray tom got to his paws and headed swiftly over, dipping his head in a curt greeting. "Moorfoot?" he asked, clearing his throat before speaking as he brought his gaze up. "I'm Jaypaw," Jaypaw hadn't realized how much he'd grown until he realized that he was almost at eye-level with his new mentor. It wouldn't be too much longer until he looked like a full grown warrior. Well, for his height. His weight still proved him to be one of the skinniest WindClan warriors.

(No worries!)

Moorfoot focused his gaze on a young cat approaching him, calling his name.
It was a gray tom, quite tall, but not tall enough to be a warrior.
"Moorfoot?" the cat asked, and as he saw the dark yellow eyes of the young cat, the last piece of the puzzle falling together. A wave of satisfaction surged trough Moorfoot as he realized who the cat in front of him was.
He's like Blazingstar described! "You must be Jaypaw!" he burst out, at the same time as the apprentice- his own apprentice, Moorfoot recalled with a surge of hapinnes- introduced himself.
Moorfoot shifted his paws awkwardly. Good job with the first impression, Moorfoot. he hissed to himself internally, not without a great deal of sarcasm. He suddenly became very aware of his ruffled pelt, and messy paws compared to the apprentice.

He sat up, and shook off a a few dirt clumps from his pelt, then started speaking again.
"Well, that definetely answers my question." he purred at the Jaypaw, as Moorfoot tried to fix himself with discretion. Wishing all hope had not been lost to seem like a well respected warrior, he continued.
"Just the cat I was looking for. I hoped to greet you today properly, so that we can begin training immedietly tomorrow." he meowed, trying to fill his voice with confidence. "Or, tomorrow I thought that maybe I could just watch your skills, to see where you are currently in your way to becoming a warrior." he added. Moorfoot had noticed how he had started to ramble, and tried to take a deep breath to calm himself- but it had the opposite effect.
I'm going to train an apprentice! I'm finally a mentor- Spottednight would be so proud! he felt a little dizzy, and smiled whole-heartedly at Jaypaw.
"Well, luckily I wont have to bother teaching you the boring basics, since you already had a mentor before..." Moorfoot trailed off, stopping himself from saying more when he realized what he had said.
Damn it! Blazingstar warned me that it was a touchy subject, with his mentor that was just gone- and here I go, blabbering anyways...

Skyfoot hoped that his sudden inhale was for good reasons and not bad. She flicked her tail tip with happiness, her mouth lifting up at one edge in a small smile. "Yay, erm, I mean great! Do you have any preferences for places to hunt?" She asked him slightly.

The blazing afternoon sun burned on DuskFur’s pelt. Today was hotter than usual, and through the clearing he spotted FeatherShade. He bounded up to the She-Cat, and started blabbering. He talked about fresh kill, other cats, and after it all, asked, “How was your day?” His eyes shimmered and he flicked the tip of his tail. What a great day to see FeatherShade, He thought, and he dropped a shiny necklace in front of her paws. @Tazzy

Feathershade blinked in surprise as he started rambling on about everything. She shifted slightly as she tried to keep up with everything he said. “Oh! I’m good. What about you?” Her ear twitched a bit when she saw the necklace. “That’s beautiful! Thank you...but I..don’t have anything to give to you I’m sorry Duskfur.”

“That’s okay! I wasn’t expecting anything!” He purred, “Wanna go hunting with me?” He meowed turning his head

Feather flicked her tail as she thought “sure! I’ll catch you something as a thank you for what you gave me!” She purred as she jumped to her feet, her pelt prickled excitedly.

YES! He thought, I’ll finally get to be with FeatherShade! “What do you want to catch?” He purred, excitedly
