Only when he first became an apprentice, when Winsclan and Riverclan flooded, and then again several months ago when he visited me in a dream saying he was killed by a a evil Era supporter."

He nodded and said "our kits, that is if we have them, will never get hurt as long as I'm here. You and the kits will be protected. I swear by star clan." He smiled as a tear rolled down his cheeks, happy tears though.

"Thank you for understanding." She our red, pulling away slowly to look him in the eye. She then leaned in and licked his cheek with a soft smile. "You're too kind."

He said, "follow me, I made something, a special something for you." He smiled as he started out of camp

Ravenstorm gave a small nod and proceeded to follow him. "Okay.." She said somewhat nervously.

Safe and alive were both very important, but he would settle for just alive if he needed to. "Trouble? Me? Oh please, Briar. You know I'd never get into trouble." He purred, nudging his older sister lightly. Truth was, he didn't get into trouble too often. And especially not in the past few moons, things had been pretty slow for him...there was just the strange matter of Apurva. Kiwipaw now, wasn't it? Yes-- Kiwipaw. His hues sprang open as his sister mentioned having a mate. "A mate? Really? You'll have to introduce me-- I want to make sure it's no one but the best for my sis," He mewed with a smile. Timberpaw thought for a minute, his hues gleaming thoughtfully as he did so. Training-- that was the absolute worst thing. But he'd had his assessment, and should be becoming a warrior any day now. "Training's going absolutely great. I had my assessment-- little brother's catching up to you, Briar." He teased, before his expression grew serious. "And...I did meet a she cat a few-- uh-- few moons ago," Timberpaw remarked, feeling his pelt grow warm at the very thought of Kiwipaw. To him, she would always be Apurva, the loner he had found out on ThunderClan territory. But would she? Now she was a part of ThunderClan...and he wouldn't have to choose between loyalty and love. He could have both.

Kestrelpaw was finally an apprentice. After all those moons of waiting, and wondering when she would finally be one, the time had arrived. And she was determined to be the best apprentice ever. It didn't matter that she was more mature then the other apprentices-- well, some of them, at least. It didn't matter that she was desperate to prove herself. Because Aime'Storm was going to help her with all of that. Already knowing her mentor helped with her nervousness, and now all she could feel was pure excitement. This was going to be great. She just knew it. She approached the former kittypet, although that wasn't exactly the way she thought of him-- to her he was a friend, a companion, and someone who hadn't looked down on her because she was younger. A special type of cat. "Aime'Storm!" She called as she approached him. Her voice was level and calm, showing no signs of the bubbling nervousness she could feel inside her-- after all, it wasn't every day that she would be training. Well, from now on, it was. Almost every day at least. But thankfully she was getting to do it with a familiar cat, one who would someday be one of her closest friends. That was her hope, anyways.

It felt nice to reunite with her brother after so long, it had felt like just yesterday they were fighting Ratnight for the sake of their lives, but it was peaceful. There was no more unnecessary blood shed, no more dictatorship, but peace. Even if Thunderclan had a struggle with having some high ranks at first, they would always succeed as they always have. She purred along with him, "Yeah, her name is Cloudedsky. She's shy but, I'm sure she would love to meet you." she smiled. Cloudedsky wasn't the most sociable cat but she was the kindest, and she knew she would love to meet her brother when given the chance. "Kiwipaw? Tell me more 'bout this Kiwipaw," if cats could wiggle their eyebrows, she would be. She held a grin on her face, seeing her brothers obvious flustered expression, "I'll have to meet her sometime, make sure shes nothing but the best for my lil bro." she said,quoting what he had said moments ago.

Aime slipped into the clearing. It was early morning, but not dawn. Ever since being assigned Krestalpaw as an apprentice he felt nothing but excitement, like good jitters on his pelt. To prevent himself from being to hyper he took a stroll around the territory. This was his first apprentice, and he was rather excited. hearing his name called by a familiar voice he perked his ears and smiled, "Hey Krestalpaw, nice to be an apprentice finally, yea?" bright green hues stared back at her, full of warmth and excitement. He wanted to be the best mentor he could be, and hoped that he was going to be. His fluffed out tail twitched a bit in excitement still. "You up for a tour around the territory to start us off ?"

"Cloudedsky, huh?" The brown tabby cocked his head to the side, thinking for a moment. The way Briarbranch described her sounded exactly like the type of cat he had always imagined his sister to end up with. Funny, considering part of him had wondered if she ever would. But it looked like she had found love of her own. "She sounds great. I can't wait to meet her," He purred happily. Honestly, Timberpaw was just happy to get to spend time with his sister. She could have been seeing a cat who was his worst enemy and he still would have been smiling. Thank goodness this 'Cloudedsky' sounded like the type of cat that he would get along with. Though he and his sister had some things in common, there were other things that were very different between them-- so maybe she had a different type that she looked for in a mate. The tom felt his ears beginning to heat up again at his sister's teasing. "She was a, uh...loner when I met her. And-- and I thought it might be fun to flirt with her, but it...ended up..." His voice trailed off and he shrugged a little. So far, the newly named Kiwipaw was the best friend in his life not to mention the only crush that he had ever had. "You'll like her. She's super friendly, and determined... she has a really helpful nature..." The tom's voice trailed off as he realized he might be talking too much about her.
　
Kestrelpaw beamed, which was unusual for her-- she normally didn't smile much, having a fairly serious expression on her features. But today was different. She was too excited to hold a serious expression, a calm stance, and another happy smile came over her face. Though her mind might be racing with excitement, her voice-- and her personality-- hadn't truly changed. "Definitely. I was wondering when Gyrestar would start doing ceremonies again, having already gotten his lives and everything." She laughed a little, a smile still on her features. "Guess I got my answer." The she cat cocked her head to the side and thought for a moment. That was the usual thing-- and while normally Kestrelpaw wanted to go big, she decided she didn't want to do anything differently on her first day. This was exciting! And as ready as she was to jump right in, she supposed taking it nice and slow wouldn't do any harm. "Sounds good to me!" Her voice squeaked a little, more like a younger cat's, showing the excitement she was feeling-- along with her stance and expression. For anyone who knew Kestrelpaw, they might have thought something was wrong with her, considering excitement was something that the young apprentice rarely showed.

Snowsong's head immediately tipped to the side as she studied the Tom. She could easily see he was lying - Mostly because he didnt sound convincing, probably not even to his own ears. Snowsong's mouth set in a determined line before a smile cracked through again. The Siamese she-cat sat down, her tail curling around her paws as she looked at Finchcall.

"You sure?" She didnt want to press too hard, but she did want to cheer him up. She didnt like seeing frowns, at all, and did whatever she could to turn them into cheerful smiles. But, She reminded herself, as she had to do constantly. Not all cats are as happy-go-lucky as I am, right?

Besides, this Tom might not be too keen on opening up to her. They didnt know eachother personally, and perhaps it was a bit...Intimidating to speak to the deputy? Deputy or not, im just like any other cat. They know that, I know that. Still, she had to admit she hardly knew Finchcall, but that didnt stop her from wanting to see him at least crack a smile. Silently she wondered what he would be upset about, but it could be so many things!

Snowsong shook these thoughts away and returned her attention back to Finchcall, knowing she was getting sidetracked. That happened often, she disappeared into her thoughts every once in a while. "You can talk to me if you have something on your mind, I have time to listen. Or I could just talk to you." She said, smiling, then added, "or I can just sit here with you and we dont have to talk. Sometimes when we're upset, we just need someone to be near us." She was quoting her fathers words, a warm feeling running through her as she thought of the Tom.

The warrior's tail twitched as he knew that she could see through his lie. Of course, he hadn't tried to even hide the fact that he wasn't alright - but did it matter? He wasn't in the mood nor had the energy to put effort into lying. Though he supposed that he was never amazing at lying anyway. He never had a reason to lie so he rare had in his life. But now he just didn't feel like talking about such personal matters, especially with Snowsong. Finchcall was aware that she was deputy, and she was only trying to be helpful, but that didn't change the fact that she was relatively a stranger to him.

Sure she seemed nice, but still.... Besides, what was he to tell her? Just rant about some depressing things that had been happening to him? Did she really care that his brother died? That a cat he cared for deeply chose a medicine cat apprentice over him, and then she just disappeared? No, that didn't seem like anything he could tell someone when they've just met. He was sure if he told her this, she would back up slowly from him and simply not bothering with the tom anymore. I know I should have more faith in her. She is the new deputy. But information like this can not be lightly told to just anyone.

He let his gaze observe her, looking the molly up and down. I guess if I knew her better, then she would be the perfect person to confined in, he finally concluded. Finchcall was sure that she was actually a good cat. In fact, she had a warm air about her that made him feel a bit relaxed. They had just officially met and he could already tell how friendly she was. If he had know her better, he was sure that he would entrust her with such personal subjects.

But not right now....

The was a hesitated before the warrior answered. "If you have something to say, then you can talk if you want," he began, stilling playing off that there was nothing wrong with him. "But if you don't want to talk, then we can be silent. You could bring some prey over," he gestured his tail towards the fresh-kill pile in the clearing. He was intimidated to be accompanied by the deputy, but he didn't want to come off too rude to her. He could tell that she wasn't about to leave him alone due to knowing that something was actually wrong with him. He wasn't going to talk about it just yet, but if she did want to talk about something to him then he would listen, and if she was to sit and silently eat or something then he would be alright with that as well.

"That's nice! Your mentor is going to be surprised!"
Fernglow smiled softly and padded over to his kit, nuzzling her ear.
"You keep this up and you'll be a warrior in no time!"
Berrykit, who rather enjoyed his father's praise and attention, frowned as Spottedkit got congratulated.
"Hey, I can do that to!" The small calico spotted the end of his mother's tail and leaped without thought, spinning himself around and crashing into the ground on top of Owltail's hind leg. The kit groaned and laid on his back paws up like a dead ant.
"Told you I could...ish..."
