WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[lucidense]

Wisp jumped, then winced as she turned, revealing she was expecting kits. "My old den caved in- I- my kits are coming soon, and I was looking for a place to stay." She looked at the cats with soft hostility, but it was clear it was a queens protectiveness, and it showed through she was no coward. @kittygirl @Moonraven

[kittygirl]

cherrypaw tilted her head at the queens belly and perked up with a gasp, "dear starclan I am so sorry!" cherrypaw glanced at batglare and shuffled her paws, "should we bring her back to camp and let twilightstar decide?" cherrypaw asked, she kept a polite and respectful tone with batglare to show she wasn't trying to be in charge.

@Moonraven @SparrowSoar

She looked at the clan cats, unsure. "Is it safe..?" She shuffled, the flame she was young, and had a mostly hidden, long scar on her chest than showed mainly from what seemed to be a tan-pink cut of fur, and small, thin scars running across her nose bridge. (could you question about her chest scar- it has some backstory) @kittygirl @Moonraven

[Barnabas]

Windykit sat outside the nursery, looking at the cats around him. He could hear cats outside in the territory from where he was. Their scent filled his nose. The silver tabby kitten thought that every kit could hear from far away and not that it was just him. It sure was strange. Windykit tried his best to ignore it and not let it get to him.

Well it certainly sounded like that to her, Twilightstar wasn't going to bicker about the small stuff. Leap certainly enjoyed bickering and was rather prickly for a molly looking to join Twilightstar's clan. "If you're going to join my clan, you'll need a new name. Leappaw doesn't fit you at all, Thornpaw fits much better." Twilightstar tail swished back and forth as mirth filled her eyes as she waited to see if the cat would put up a fight about her name.

@Moonraven

"Fuzzy...you mean mice?" Twilightstar asked, blinking her eyes at the kit's words. So she's managed to catch mice and at such a young age too. "You'll have to learn how to fight, but you don't need to be the best at it. If you really can catch the fuzzy mice then you'll make a fine huntress for my clan." Twilightstar scoffed, she didn't think twolegs ate mice like cats so she could understand why the wouldn't like them. "I'm not very good at hunting or fighting and I'm a leader." Twilightstar's skills were average at best. "I should take you to meet my mother, she's pretty good at hunting, she likes catching rabbits over mice, she'd like you." The feline raised a hind leg to scratch at an itch while watching the kit. "So what do you say, wanna come home with me?"

"I left because she executed a cat, all because it was telling the other clan of a raid..just for peace....honeyleaf did nothing wrong...yes it may not be great for the other since it ruined the surprise of it...but...a attack just because of....I cant!" Oakpaw explained . It may have been a stupid reason...But it was enough for him. "I'm willing to change my name..I'm willing . It's just wrong..justice shall be served but...I don't wanna get killed as well. So this Will Show her. Not like I meant anything to their numbers..."

It seemed to her that Icestar was pushing the boundaries of warrior codes these days. Twilightstar wasn't all that concerned about this Honeyleaf nor her death, although schooled her face into one worry as the apprentice told her about the cat's death. There could be different opinions about Honeyleaf's death, whether it was right or wrong she couldn't say, those were two sides of a coin she wasn't willing to flip. "I'm not going to lie to you, I'm am hesitant about where your loyalties rest and I know for certain quite a few of my clanmates are going to be worse." They were iffy about kittypets and loners she brought into the clan, they certainly weren't going to take to a former ShadowClan cat at all. "But you seem willing and eager and I would like to give you a chance at least. So I'll allow you to join my clan." Twilightstar would have to find a mentor that would ensure that this cat wasn't some sort of spy or something. "As for your name, WindClan doesn't have any trees in it..." She trailed off peering at the cat blue eyes and then up the endless sky. "How about Skypaw?" She asked, with a tilt of her head. If he was going to be a WindClan cat he should start loving the sky.

welp . . . I guess I'm TinyKit now.
(sorry it's so short)

Twilightstar grinned at the lack of enthusiasm from the kit. "Okay, Tinykit. Come on, follow me. I'll take my camp and show you to the nursery. That's where you're going to be staying for a while." She meowed, beckoning the kit with her tail as she led the way back home. @The Shadow Flower -we can wrap it up here, make sure you submit Tinykit to the allegiances.

The former looked awkward, as if they believed they shouldn't be here, but the one in the lead looked confident. Flashfury stepped stopped Newtflecks behind him. "Twilightstar," the tall tom gave an awkward smile. "I- we would like to join Windclan... again." Newtflecks gave a nod in agreement. Both cats felt awkward about crawling back after choosing to leave, but they did have their reasons and Flashfury would not regret putting his pregnant mate above others.

(heads up: Newt is transmale and pregnant, it is fine for Twilight to confuse him for a female - since she probably wouldn't know)

It took her a long while to recall the two cats that came up to her. The spots and the markings brought their names to mind. "Flashfury and Newtflecks." She raises an unseen brow seeing as the one tom was heavy with unborn kittens. Well, someone was busy. "Do you two have some sort of reason as to why you left your clan without a word?" She asked, her voice was calm as she sat up to look down at the two. It wasn't hard to tell that she wasn't overly happy with either of them considering how her tail swung back and forth in big displeases lashes.

@Hexict - whatever gender you assign your cat is the gender that I'll have my cat used, no confusion that way.

Leap glared at Twilightstar. "My name isn't Thorn. It's Leap. I'm not going to be Thorn." Leap siad stubbornly. She remembered her mother naming her. And why. @Moonraven

[Moonraven]

Batglare really didn't like outsiders, they caused nothing but trouble. Still, he disliked newborn kits even more and he was pretty sure Twilightstar or Coyotesnarl would snarl at him for leaving the Queen out here by herself. He needed to take Cherrypaw to Twilightstar anyway, why not bring the Queen and make her someone else's problem."Unless we're chasing her off I don't see any other option." Batglare sighed to Cherrypaw while answering the stranger's question. "WindClan's safe enough for you and your unborn." Batglare's gruff voice growled as he was unable to figure out if she was just a passing outsider or some kittypet who ran away from her twolegs. "You have a name?" He asked, noticing the scars on her body but he wasn't the type of cat to get to chatty with outsiders.
@kittygirl @SparrowSoar - she can explain her backstory to Twilight when they meet.

See, this arguing thing was funny at first but it was going to get on her nerves fast. "Why?" The molly asked, there was a sharp ting of authority in that single word that warn the she-cat to stop glaring at the leader like that. Twilightstar didn't normally mind mouthy or stubborn cats, they were different, but she wasn't going to let a mere outsider walk all over her. "Leap isn't a normal clan cat name. So why should I let you keep it?" Leap would work as a suffix for a clan cat, but Leap wasn't heard as prefix often if at all. If she had a good enough reason Twilightstar might be willing to allow her to keep it.

[kittygirl]

cherrypaw sighed, but then she noticed the many scars on the molly...along with a long scar across her chest! Cherrypaw let her curiosity get the best of her and decided to ask, "where did the belly scar come from, did you get it caught on something or a fight?" cherrypaw glanced at batglare, hoping she didn't annoy him.

@Moonraven @SparrowSoar

[lucidense]

"My names Wisp, like the flame." She said softly. She looked fit aside from the fact she was expecting. She had a fair share of scars, showing she could put up a fight. She stumbled suddenly, and her voice showed strain, "I think my kits are coming soon-" @kittygirl @Moonraven
