WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Jade13]

ravenpaw sat in the clearing and looked around, she was so bored! she just grabed some prey and sat down, she wanted training! she just sat there looking around maybe a warrior could train her

Dirtpaw nodded. "No they did not." He grinned. "You remind me of someone," He added mysteriously. He wondered if Duskkit would get it.

{I cam up with the plot that Jag attacks Flicker in front of the whole Clan but then I went inactive, so now I'm just flying by the seat of my pants here, nw, sky is ok with this}

Jaggedscar stalked into the leader's den, lip curled with menace. Twilightstar! He barked, unsheathing his claws. I think you are missing an apprentice! A certain apprentice... my former one, perhaps?

~ ASHFEATHER ~

The she-cat was alive with nerves. She had thought that someone else would be reporting, but apparently not. She actually hadn't wanted to go face-to-face with Wolffang. Not only was he the cat who hated her, but he was also the WindClan deputy. Swallowing, quickly swiping away a stray trickle of drool with her tongue, she padded up to the large, powerful-looking gray tom. He had actually put her on a patrol - and been doing better in general - but, well, she knew what he was probably thinking. He hates you... but he's a loyal warrior. Don't be so harsh, Ashfeather! she ended up scolding herself. The she-cat took a deep breath and took a couple steps closer, trying to stop her voice from trembling.

"We found... we found, by the border, a dead frog and some feathers. No dogs, thank StarClan. Or straying ShadowClan cats. Everything looks clear, although I don't know where that ended up coming from. The feathers and frog, I mean." Despite not stuttering, Ashfeather's voice had tremored, and she crouched down, a cold feeling rising up within her stomach. Quickly, she backed away from the tom's disgusted, angry bright yellow gaze, before darting away across the clearing. She'd spend a little time in the nursery. Her two runaway kits, her dead mate, and her stillborn kit were still fresh in her mind. A shudder ran through her; she swore that the dappled gray tom's eyes were following her from across the clearing.

(I'm so sorry, I forgot about this!)
Crowspeck followed Ashfeather, nodding when he heard her words. "Her report is accurate. There was the scent of dog along with the carcass and feathers, but it was very faint. We buried the remains, but we do not know where the beast is, for now."

~Miststone~
The pale, ginger tabby queen hesitated, eyeing the borage closely. She wasn't sure if this cat, Seedheart, was right about these herbs. How did she even know? She wasn't a medicine cat.
It wasn't like Miststone did not trust this cat, but she didn't feel like Seedheart knew what she was doing. The queen glanced at Peachfrost, making sure she was fine with it. After a minute, Miststone replied, "No thank you, I don't need anything..."
The kits' tickled her, reminding this queen when her own kits fed on her milk. Now, they were old enough for prey. Miststone smiled slightly, watching Twilightstar's kits.
Then to Lichenlight, she said, "I think I have room, but Ashfeather might as well..."



(Just wondering, does someone roleplay the kits? Sorry, haven't been up to date on those who roleplay cats)

[Poprock]

Thank Starclan for Ashfeather and Miststone. Despite three injured warriors and a frazzled medicine cat bursting into their den, they were more than willing to help out in anyway they could. Especially Ashfeather, who was apparently running low on milk... was Peachfrost supposed to help with that? Snakeheart had never taught her anything about queens...

Swiftfire and Seedheart were blessings in disguise. Somehow (she really didn't have time to wonder where) Swiftfire knew the secret remedy to producing milk. Borage. That must be what Snakeheart was telling me about! She made a mental note to tell him next time they spoke.

She turned to the group of anxious cats. Time for her to call out some commands."Everyone, thank you for your help. Unfortunately, we aren't out of the woods yet. So Seedheart since you're already helping out the queens, I'm putting you in charge of getting them anything they need until things settle down. Follow me to the medicine cats den so I can give you some borage. Lichenlight? If you're unharmed I need you to return to the border and help our clanmates end this mess. Swiftfire and Skyleaf, you two are coming with me to the medicine cats den. You both need healing urgently." Ugh. It was much more blunt than she wanted to be, but they all had to move fast. She prayed everyone understood. With a grateful dip of her head to the queens she dashed towards the healing den.

(To the three of you going to the medicine cats den, our next rp will be there.)

The tabby sucked in a breath at the mention of Twolegplace, gripping the dirt below him. Worry flickered across his face, but only for a few seconds before he gave the Warrior a smile. He'd hoped the other's hadn't heard where they could be found. "I suggest we look toward's Adder Rocks first though. Since it's on the way and closer. Better be safe than sorry, yea?" he suggested, his voice quivered at the first two words, evening themselves out as he finished.


When the third member of their Patrol hadn't shown up he looked around, than simply shrugged. "Let's get going than, hopefully Mudpaw will catch up." he hummed. With that, he was off towards Adder Rocks.

----

Honeysage would be lying if he said he liked this spot in the territory, much preffering the Plains and the grassy hills. "Right, Poppy Seeds, Catmint, and Deathberries. There should be leaves or some thick grass to hold them with, the berries." he hummed loudly, looking up at his companion with a smile.

"Let me know when you find stuff yea?" he chirped, already shuffling forwards to awkwardly peek into the cracks of the rocks. Hoping that maybe, just maybe they'd find the herbs needed here.

Looking around the rocks was stupid, Cloversplash finally realized. There wouldn’t be anything here. The patrol was just wasting time. “Honeyfern,” she called. “I don’t think we’re going to find anything. Maybe we should go toward our original destination...?” Cloversplash asked as tactfully as she could, gaze hopeful as she leaned toward the patrol leader.

Mudpaw came running up to Cloversplash and Honeyfern, a large branch of deathberries and some catmint logged in his maw. He spit it out in from of them. "I know I wasn't supposed to, but I hate when someone tells me I cant do something based off of my age." He bowed his head, awaiting their response

(Sorry I'm late! Its been a busy week, might do only one more reply for this)

(I'll make the next post in the medicine cat's den - I'm just doing one here to reply to the other people!)

~ ASHFEATHER ~

Things were going on really, really fast. Ashfeather was glad that Miststone was taking two of them; it brought the tiniest of smiles onto her face. Memories swirled in the back of her mind, but she pushed them away. There's no time for that. Stop it. The small, skinny she-cat sucked in a breath, and looked up as another warrior raced into the nursery. Great StarClan... It was clear that something big was going on. She looked at Swiftfire, flinching at how badly she was bleeding, her tiny ears pricking as her name was mentioned. "I-I'm okay. I'll just g-get what I need, which is a bit more milk. But I-I swear, I'll do my best with Twilightstar's kits." Ashfeather was still shocked that the WindClan leader had requested her.

Ashfeather then turned to Seedheart, who had come in. Her black fur rested down a bit when she found out that the queen hadn't been a part of this huge, messy... well, mess. Ashfeather tried her best to focus on the situation at paw, and blinked, glancing down at her stomach. She'd been eating a bit more lately, but she was still pretty underweight. Her jaw meant that she'd never be anything more than underweight, but she could do with a bit more. No, I have to be focused on what's going on right now... "S-some prey would be nice, but - but we should do this first," the skinny black cat meowed to her, dipping her round head in gratitude.

And now another warrior? Ashfeather felt her head spinning as she spotted the distinctive white, gray, and ginger tabby pelt of Lichenlight. She blinked at yet another kit. "I-I can," she mewed, "once I have more milk..." Then now stuff was going on between Swiftfire and Seedheart... it was hurting her head. Ashfeather was so confused, and she took in a deep breath, in a distorted rush of air. It was getting harder and harder to focus right now. She flinched; did Miststone want the other kit? "Y-you might have your p-paws full with your others..." Ashfeather stuttered out to Miststone, hoping that she didn't come off as rude or offensive. However, at the same time, the fact that Twilightstar had wanted her... it was still shocking. Why would the leader want her around kits? She'd been a terrible mother to Ravenkit and Whitekit. Her last words to her daughter still stung.

Shut up! You're so conceited, you... you have to focus harder. That's why they don't like you. You keep on being sad about yourself. You can't even get up and help your Clan! Ashfeather, do better.

The warrior, who would now be a queen for probably another few moons, gently nuzzled the kits. Then she lifted her head. Even though it felt somewhat forced, at least some of it was more genuine. If that made sense. Right now, her non-blind eye was shining with resolution and determination. "I'll take the kit, and do the best I can, with Miststone," the black she-cat declared, yet she still felt a tingle beneath her fur. What if you upset Miststone? What if they think you're acting... featherbrained, or weird... or... who knows what they're thinking? It seemed as though the thoughts wouldn't go away...

[Fawnhearted]

Seedheart stepped into the den, "Peachfrost? I'm here to get the herbs the queens need, also I do know some herb knowledge because I helped Snakeheart when he was here, I can help with minor injuries if you need", dipping her head respectfully she added. "I know there's a lot going on, thank you for being such a great medicine cat".
