WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Moonraven]

Dreamlight trailed behind Batglare as the pair dropped their catches on the prey pile. Now she understood why Batglare told her to hunt with him. The prey pile looked pretty empty, certainly not enough to feed their clan. Batglare was all moody and anti-social but he did show he had a heart underneath all that gruff anger in little ways. Ignoring the dumb, smiling, she-cat, Batglare went his separate way as Dreamlight headed off to the warriors' den.

cow'kit

the small black and white kit had been busy swatting at a small weed in a far corner. after a moment he heard his name being called, it was my name right? more times than often he would miss hear cowtuft for cowkit and would pause before double checking. this time was no exception, the small kit blinked sleepily before slowly making his way over to the floppy eared she cat. what was her name again..dustfuzzy..no..dusthuzzy? eek no! oh wait its dustbunny!! he felt embarrased for getting her name wrong not once but twice. his ears flattened to his head for a moment but quickly perked back up. amber and brown eyes glued to the she cat as he waited tiredly for his lesson to begin. hopefully he wouldnt fall asleep in this class. he was fairly interested in digging things like holes and what nots. perhaps a better name for him wouldve been mousekit or volekit.

Specklekit didn't bother approaching Cedarkit. Her vulgar language had vaguely annoyed Specklekit, and she was waiting for things to settle down.

There was a certain... peace to be obtained in the kit corrals. The buzzing energy, the play and chitter chatter of warriors and kits alike, the incessant, wonderful bits of knowledge being discussed to and fro. Laying down on the ground with her head in the air, eyes closed, and paws tucked securely beneath her, the oriental mix held an oddly calm semblance as she rested in almost perfect stillness, only her gentle breathing and ever moving ears showing any sign of alertness in the lithe body. As much as the nursery bored her for reasons similar to why she loved the corrals, she just couldn't get enough of this place, spending her quieter days tucked away among the educators and the educated, paying attention in a distant, almost dream like state.

There was also of course the very real fact that it was freezing outside, and the calico's short, smooth coat was simply not made for leaf-bare weather. She had no idea what this newleaf was like, but it better live up to all the talk. If she never saw snow again, it would be too star forsaken soon! At least here in the corrals the chatter she picked up on was interesting. Full of tidbits of knowledge. Even classes that she had already taken prior were worth listening in on, some younger kit occasionally asking a question even she had never thought of asking. She was always thankful for those moments. She was past using her overactive imagination for simple playtime. She was starting to crave more out of life, and knowledge seemed to be filling that void quite nicely for now. It would suffice, at least until she could finally step out into the moors herself and gain some paws on experience.

One almond shaped eye opened with curiosity as she heard a familiar voice in the corner. Turning her ear in beat with the swivel of her own head, the young calico spotted WindClan's lilac leader with Tinykit close by, apparently about to begin a history lesson. Intrigue and curiosity nibbling at the back of her mind, the molly's whiskers twitched as she considered merely listening in for the lesson. But then... only Tinykit was there. Surely the duo would not mind her joining along? Clan history was rarely discussed, after all. Not when compared with recent events. And it was so hard to dissect truth from stories so long passed they were more fantastical myths than fact driven narratives at this point in time. If someone where to know anything about the clan, however... why, that would be the leader, would it not?

Mind made up, the abyssinian mix got up, tail high in the air as she approached the two felines with her usual, cheeky grin. Sitting down close to the duo, the spotted kit wrinkled her nose before stating, "Hope it's alright if I join? I wouldn't mind hearing some actual history for once." Turning her face to look at the light gray tom besides her, the grin on her face grew, albeit losing some of its cheek and gaining a light playfulness in it's place. Using her long, skinny tail, she gently poked her denmate's side, her head cocked to the side. "We can be clan history buffs together. What ya say, chief?"

Cedarkit rolled into a ball and closed her eyes.

Specklekit vaguely wondered when the warriors would come back with some food... she was hungry. One day, she'd be on those hunting patrols!

Cedarkit saw Specklekit and her tail drooped. Did Specklekit hate her? Cedarkit blinked in saddnes.

The peaceful sound of waves crashing below was lulling Whispersong into a daydream when Slatepaw sneezed, stirring her back into reality. Oh yes, the tour! She laughed lightly once more, observing her apprentice's reaction to the new smell. "That's the ocean." She wasn't sure if the younger cat had ever hear stories about the sea from the queens or elders, so she tried to keep her explanation brief.

"It's amazing, the biggest amount of water ever. Unfortunately, it's no good for drinking or..anything, really, besides looking at," she said with a shrug. "Even if we were able to get down there from our territory, the water is salty - that's why it smells so strange," she smiled, referring to the mild disgust on Slatepaw's face. "Still, it's an important landmark to be aware of. You'll be able to scent from a long ways off soon enough, and it can serve as a reference point in your travels." She gestured for the apprentice to follow her a little closer so that they could see over the edge, just barely. "Watch your footing," she warned, keeping a close eye out.

When they were done observing, she stretched out for a moment, checking in with Slatepaw. "Tired yet?" This was probably the most walking the apprentice had done at one time, and she didn't want to exhaust her too much on their first time around. There were a couple places they could hit on the way to camp if she wanted to head back, or they could make a wider circle and visit as far as the creek.

Slatepaw followed the she-cat cautiously, peering just over the edge before her ears flattened and she took a few steps backwards. She could feel her heard pounding from the adrenaline. "So, what's the point of the water? That's ridiculous!" he spoke loudly, her gaze was confused. There was so much stuff she didn't know and it was almost overwhelming.

However, Whispersong inquired if she was tired and suddenly, the she-cat could feel how heavy her legs were and how tired she actually was from learning more about the territory. This was the furthest she'd ever walked. "Yes, actually, I am tired. I didn't think I would be!" the black she-cat spoke.

A puffy mass of fur drifted into the clearing to listen. Sleepypaw... it didn't take the feline long to find their mentor and sit down... or rather his mentor find them. Cliffjumper was quick to snatch up their apprentices atteintion

Stumpy'Paw sighed, when would he finally have something exciting in his life? Everything he did was always babied by queens around camp! It wasn't his fault he was born with 3 legs! It was Starclans! He growled to himself as his claws flexed in the ground. What a damn joke. He hissed to himself mentally.
