WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[ThePiffle]

Wrenkit woke up and look dazed at her mother, "Mom?"

"Sorry, the hunting went later than expected," Honeystorm whispered. "Go back to sleep."

[ThePiffle]

"Why?" Wrenkit meowed wide eyed, looking outside, "The sky is awake!"


(And yes, I did just steal that from Frozen, sue me)

[corgigirl]

"Fine, but I'm going to sleep," Honeystorm said with conviction, laying her head down to rest.

Wrenkit smiled and nuzzled her mother before running outside.

Raypaw was happy to see Lavendersnap's delighted expression. He walked closer and plopped down onto the ground as she ate. She had seemd amused and definitely not grumpy. He purred happily for a moment, flicking his golden tail. Lavendersnap asked him if he wanted to hear a story and he immediately perked up. How did she know? It was like she could read minds! He tried to put on a serious face to match Lavendersnap's serious tone. "Glad you like it." But then he saw the laughter in Lavendersnap's eyes. His face immediately changed into a excited expression and there was no question to him what kind of story he wanted to hear.

"Ooh yay! Thank you Lavendersnap! As for what story? Hmm..." He pretended to think about it so he didn't seem too eager. She might think he wasn't mature or something if he acted like an over excited kit. "What about a story of a famous Windclan hero? I want to be a famous hero when I become a warrior. With battles and glory!" He stood up excitedly and proudly as he said the last part, before looking sheepishly at the calico. He sat back down again, a bit embarrassed.

[I just joined so I’m making these stories up, I hope that’s ok!]

~Lavendersnap~

Lavendersnap’s mock serious expression dissolved into a joyful one when she saw Raypaw’s kit-like enthusiasm. It made her heart sing to think she could cause such a reaction in another cat. Raypaw is such a good apprentice. I hope I can tell him exactly the kind of story he’s looking for! I’m sure he’ll be a great warrior one day.

“Heroes, huh? Windclan has had many heroes. Today I’m going to tell you about how Neststar earned her deputy title. Then she was Nestfeather, of course. This happened many moons ago. No cat alive now was alive then. It was a full moon. The gathering had barely begun. Nestfeather had been one of the few to stay behind. No warrior was expected an ambush. Every cat had let their guard down. The smell of Riverclan came too late for them to react! Suddenly a snarling caught Nestfeather’s ears. She barely had time to yell: ‘watch out!’ Before the attack began. Riverclan swarmed the camp! Nestfeather gathered the warriors around the nursery to protect it. She fought like all of Lionclan! However, they were being driven back. Paw step by paw step. The Windclan warriors were exhausted. Nestfeather was just about to screech for a retreat, when from over the hills a soft light glowed. It was dawn! And with the dawn came the rest of the clan, the Riverclan leader and been stalling them you see. The rest of Windclan was able to fight off the remaining Riverclan warriors. Nestfeather and her patrol had managed to stick it out all night. This show of bravery and talent didn’t go unnoticed. It was what proved to their leader that Nestfeather would make a good deputy when their deputy stepped down.”

Raypaw settled in as Lavendersnap started her story. He listened as she talked about Nestfeather staying behind for the Gathering. He knew what that was like, he wasn't able to go to the most recent Gathering. When he heard she had gotten attacked, he let out a gasp. Weren't the Clans under a truce during the Gathering? How could those stinky-smelling fish-brains attack the Windclan camp! He kneaded his paws on the hard ground as he listened in excitement. He tried to picture the warrior, Nestfeather, as she slashed and clawed at the enemies. Wow he wanted to be just like that! With the strength of Lionclan in his paws!

"Woah. That. Was. AWESOME!" He breathed in amazement. "Wow Neststar was so cool. I wish I could have met her. Or better yet, I wish I could be like her! Fighting off an entire clan with just my teeth and claws! I bet she got some cool scars." He play-slashed at the air, his tail whipping back and forth. "How does a cat get so much strength like that? There has to be some sort of special training routine, right? I want to learn it so I can be the strongest in battles!" If only there actually were any battles. He knew tensions were high in Windclan, but it seemed all the good battles always happened a long time ago.

(Yeah lol that's completely fine, I'm new here too )

The elder was sunning herself just outside the elder’s den. She purred softly. This was her favorite spot in the whole camp. Through slightly closed eyes she saw an apprentice pass by who looked upset. That won’t do! She sat up quickly and beckoned them over with her tail.

“Come here, dearie. Is something wrong?”

Streampaw was busy grumbling about her mentor to herself, that she was confused when she heard the WindClan elder calling towards someone. She turned to her when she realized that she was calling towards her! The she-apprentice padded towards the elder and laid down on the ground, trying to hide the scrape on her chin.

"I guess you could say somethings wrong," Streampaw muttered, staring off into the distance.

(Streampaw may snap at Lavenderstep, but she doesn't mean anything by it. She's just an angsty teen lol)

The screech woke dashfoot up from his nap. "Cypresskit you get in here right now!" He hollerd to the young kit speeding out

Raypaw had the best reactions! He gasped and got excited at just the right parts. She adored telling stories to cats like him! A glow of appreciation filled her chest. A soft purr rumbled in her throat. Nothing could make her happier!

“A wise warrior avoids needless battle. As for getting stronger I’m not sure if there’s a special routine. But you should listen to your mentor, and always accept help from warriors you respect.” The old molly punctuated the first sentence by flicking his ears playfully with her tail. A wide smile crossed her face. She was overjoyed to see how much Raypaw had liked her story. He may be a little overeager to prove himself, but what apprentice isn’t? For now she just enjoyed his almost kit-like excitement.
