ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

Maplebloom

Maplebloom chanted the new warriors names along with the rest of the clan. Happy for the new warriors she smiled and once the meeting was dismissed, she went straight to the warriors den and flopped down in her nest and immediately fell asleep.

Shallowshiver had been recovering good under the watchful eye of Sundust and Rosepaw; or as good as anyone could recover when they experienced as much trauma and heartache as her beloved mate. She hadn't journeyed much further than the opening of the medicine cats den in the past couple of days; not so subtly keeping a close watch on the healing warrior. If they need food, I'll go catch the freshest squirrel. Thirsty? I'll fetch the cleanest moss. If they need company I'm never far. If they need space... I'll be out of sight. Honestly she would need to redo the spot outside the medicine cat's den, her loafing position was imprinted on the soil; a small dip in the earth symbolizing her immovable loyalty. So when Sparrowstar called the meeting, she stayed loafed near the back of the crowd. Close enough to listen to both the announcements and close enough to keep close to Shallowhshiver.

Somehow... Cinderpaw had returned. Even with seasons of knowledge of all the weird revivals and returns that Thunderclan had experienced, this one baffled her the most. Much like her parent, Cinderpaw had been torn apart beyond belief, mentally and physically. Horrors beyond even the seasoned warrior's comprehension had been experienced so young... so horrible that many of them would be known only to Cinderpaw. Echosong had been sure Starclan would allow her to rest eternally in Starpelt. Cinderpaw deserved that at least... right? I remember her being a bit of a spit fire... but not a bad cat. Nothing like her father. So why did life seem so horrible to her? Once glance at the newly returned she-cat told a thousand stories. Matted pelt. Vacant eyes. It was enough to make Echosong's heart shatter all over again.

It was time she stepped up for her family. She loved with Shallowshiver with every fiber of her being. They were the reason her heart skipped a beat at the mere sight of them every morning. The reason why her stomach danced with butterflies at the sound of their voice every night. Loving Shallowshiver meant loving all of them; and that included Cinderpaw. She's been given a second chance. It's time I step up and help her see this new life is worth living.

"I'm uh... It's good to see you back." Her voice was quiet, almost shy. Truthfully she didn't know what to say. Does Cinderpaw even like me? Did she want to be left alone? Despite her worries, she stayed rooted in her sitting position near the cat.

Hearing the leader call her name for a apprentice, Vineglow basically couldn't stop smiling.

~Emberpaw | @littlelove @leader @Flea @Quasar @birdie~

Pushing her way through the entrance tunnel, Emberpaw let her jaws gape in a yawn. She had been out stretching her legs, visiting the places she used to go to with her mother. She had made her way past Willow's Rise, barely registering that yet again a mound of dirt where a clanmate was buried was disturbed. As much as she hoped and willed, the returned was never her mother.
However, she stopped in her tracks, almost tripping over her own paws, as she caught sight of who was back this time.
Cinderpaw?
Padding forward, her amber eyes blinked in shock, trying to make sure her mind wasn't trying to fool her.
She padded around Shallowshiver's form to get a better look at the cat she was holding. Sure as the stars, there she was. Cinderpaw.
"Welcome back, Cinderpaw," she purred with a smile. She had regretted being unable to befriend the smoky pelted cat before her untimely death. Perhaps this time she could make things different. Perhaps this time she could have a friend.

★・・Mottlepaw・・★

When Mottlepaw saw that he was able to creating a gruesome cheek scar on Blazingpaw, he sneered. Blood dripped from the scar his own claws have made, dripping down towards Mottlepaws face. He couldn’t even begin to lick it off with his tongue as he felt like his lungs were being crushed. He heaved gasping for air, he felt his consciousness lose itself to Blazingpaws weight. The more he gasped for air, the nearer he was to being unconscious. His emerald eyes wavered - the ringing in his ears intensified. Able to see that Blazingpaws was finally scurrying off of him like the wimp he was. He rolled over from his back onto his paws.

His pretty face was still stained from Blazingpaws blood. He huffed a few short breaths, he glanced over to Blazingpaw who looked to be a scaredy-mouse in the glimpse of.. He didn’t realize that there was another cat here. Her intimidating shadow could be seen looming over them. Sparrowstar! He gulped as he crouched down. His ears flattened against his head as he looked towards the leader. He didn’t really expect that Sparrowstar of all cats would eye in on the fight. Now he’s going to get a real-beating. He listened to Blazingpaws useless pleading towards their leader. He could only dip his head, closing his eyes as he grimanced. Ready for whatever punishment there was for both of them. One of his claws were still stained with blood. After this it would be best to clean them for whatever their both in for.

Harefire and Feathernose cheered the new warrior's names.

Cardinalpaw looks around and finding his mentor, approaches her.

"Hello." The twelve and a half moons old tom mews.

Deadflame yawned and silently watched the ceremony with little interest, even though he knew it was his daughter becoming a warrior... a daughter that didn't even know he excisted, but he liked it that way, no one to bother him that way...

Beankit blinked up at the warrior "thunderheart and Rainflower my mammas..."

“Hello, ready to get started?” Vineglow asked.

"I just need another battle session." The apprentice says, then hesitates. "And I've never been in a gathering."
