WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Dust]

Never in her life had Aspenbreeze felt the pain of sharp white-hot hunger in her belly, the rumbles feeling like they would go on forever. She couldn't keep this up anymore - She had to eat something! HEr paws were on fire, racing in from the moors. The feline dove straight for the fresh-kill pile, ravenously nosing through until she plucked a vole from the bottom. The whole scene must have looked a right mess, the disheveled, bony feline absolutely DESTROYING this prey. Her pride was too much though, the clan always came first! Except for right now. Aspenbreeze didn't care. Not one bit. Stripping a piece of soft, fleshy meat from the bone, she guzzled it down without so much as chewing.

"Mm.. Stars. This is delicious."

The jet black oriental took a seat in the spacious moor while waiting for her apprentice to show up. She breathed in the fresh air with a grin on her maw, she missed this, the little time in ThunderClan made Midnightstalker appreciate her home a bit more.

(/A\ I'm so sorry for the delay! )

The Tan feline hopped over to where Midnightstalker was waiting for him, doing his best to avoid the sudden dips and holes in the moor. Some from Rabbit holes, other's from who knows what. He was to learn how to fight starting today, and the Apprentice was incredibly nervous. He'd never actually fought before. Not during the Coyote Invasion, nor during that whole fiasco in the Nursery. All he did was swipe around with his claws.

Honeypaw was excited to learn how to do things to help out of course! But at the same time he was worried about not...succeeding in these things. Not doing good or being good enough. However the Tabby couldn't think about any of that any more as his mentor came into his sights. Shooting the molly a sleepy smile he scuttled closer and gently sat himself down. "'Morning." he hummed in greeting. He very much liked his Mentor, she was very sweet.

Puddlekit smiled. "Oh, of course! I'm sure they'd really love to properly meet you sometime." He paused, thinking of some defining qualities of each of his friends. "You've already met Basilkit. She's a little bossy sometimes, but she's not too mean, and she's really good at moss ball. There's Dawnkit, she's playful and sweet, but knows her manners. Then there's Snailkit. She's patient and friendly like a snail, but she's actually very fast unlike snails. And then there's Snowkit, he's happy and a little clueless, but don't tell him I said that." He giggled a little as he remembered Snowkit attempting to eat the feather.

"Well one can be my mate Whitesong and I would recommend the other queens mates as well." An obvious answer but not one that would confuse the apprentice too much. Knowing that guards were being posted calmed Songbird's nerves and worries but they sadly wouldn't chase the nightmares away.

Pebblekit nuzzled Songbird's soft fur, I'll be the best-est babysitter ever! I promise! she mewed. her eyelids started to droop, and she mewed, I'm getting kinda tired... she yawned, quickly falling asleep against Songbird, quietly snoring.

Mistpaw smiled, of course, I'll make sure to let Brindlejaw know right away. she gave the queen one last nod and started to head out of the nursery, following Dovepelt's lead.

This one is going to be a handful... and he's my first apprentice!
The warrior lay her fur flat, held her head high, and puffed her chest. "It is good to see enthusiasm. Let's channel it the correct way from now on, shall we, Silverpaw?" Whisperheart nudged Silverpaw gently out of the apprentice's den.
Whispereart circled around to stand in front of Silverpaw. She sat down, gesturing the young apprentice do the same. "The warrior code is the foundation for the harmony of all the clans. Without the warrior code, there would be chaos, bloodshed, famine, and hostility." She squinted and glared her round amber eyes, a warning glance at Silverpaw for his full attention. "By the time you become a warrior, you will feel honored to live by the sacred warrior code."
Whisperheart nodded to Silverpaw, a signal to follow her. She headed toward the entrance of the camp. "So today, we will leave camp and explore the territory."

"Hahahahaha!" He scared her! One point Silver, zero for Whisper. The silver and crimson tom was still sniggering as he was nudged out of the den. "Channel it into something positive? I've already have done that." He exclaimed to the molly. Of course she wouldn't understand. Thinking to himself as she sat down and copying her moves.
He so badly wanted to scoff at her 'harmony of all of the clans' talk. Like if the clans cared about each other. Pfft. "Yeah sure." He sarcastically replied to her talk as they walked out of the territory.

Boulderclaw padded into the nursery, a plump rabbit hanging from his jaws. After all, his mate deserved only the best of all of the fresh kill. He laid it at her paws, and he gently nudged her, only to back away so that she could sleep in peace. he laid down alongside her, resting his head on top of hers.

SoftFeather jumped up from her sleep “The kits are coming!” she yowled “Someone get CyoteSnarl!” SoftFeather yowled again. She was breathing very fast.

Boulderclaw jumped back as Softfeather leaped to her paws. He touched his muzzle to hers don't worry, softfeather. I'm here. he rumbled. I'll go get coyotesnarl.

[Fawn]

Turnipleaf had a plan, a master plan that'd get WindClan back on its paws after being the victim for too long. All day, they could stand around and call out like a beggar for hunting patrols or risk going solo, but those scrappy scores would never match the hunger of their queens and kits. Standing at the camp entrance, they called, "Coyote hunting patrol!" They weren't shy about what this would be; blunt was the best way considering they didn't want apprentices to think this was a mission for them, they were looking for qualified fighters only. "By sunrise, there'll be one added to the fresh-kill pile." It made their fur rise to hear their howls and yips in the distance. They would be easy to track down and lure away.

Boulderclaw bounded into the medicine cat's den. Coyotesnarl! he called out, Softfeather is kitting rright now! we need you to help her! he scanned the den, searching for the medicine cat.
