ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[Fae]

Thunderchaser was walking through camp. And then she saw it the body of what could be the ghost of whitewolf haunting her. No. Way. But then it talked. Ghost dont talk, do they? Its really her! she said to herself.. But her mind didn't understand how could be possible. Its you! Its really you! She said tears falling from her face as she ran over to the zombie of a cat.

Cardinalkit || Open

Cardinalkit padded out if the nursery,
his paws dragging along behind him.
He scanned the clearing in hopes to see... Geckosprout.

He knew his father was gone,
but a small part of him hoped
that he was still here.

Kestrelstar Owflame repeated the name in her head, a fit of deep-seated anger rising up in her. She let Mistyshade's words soak in for a moment. before sighing deeply. "If I speak my mind-" She paused, eyes looking up towards the gloomy sky,"-I'm afraid I will use words even the worst of cats avoid." She breathed a small chuckle, trying to lighten the mood. "The way I see it, Riverclan has been going down a dangerous path with it's leaders for a while, and at some point, its own clan members need to do something about it rather than following blindly," The grey she-cat spoke, her voice loud even amongst the bustling clearing; Owlflame was a proud, loyal warrior, and she believed she'd follow any good, honest Thunderclan leader right to her death. But Kestrelstar? She'd betray herself more by following him, and she truly believed that if Starclan were real they'd be watching him with an eerie sense of disappointment - but he would face the due consequences someday. Soon, if we're all lucky, she thought, but even she knew better than to wish death upon another cat. "But perhaps we're both a little biased, I mean, we are Thunderclan warriors after all - maybe those damp balls of fur see something in their equally soggy-in-the-head leader." She reached down and took a bite of the thrush, savouring the flavour; it was definitely one of her favourite preys, so homely and so much a reminder of the clan she'd grew up in her whole entire life. She glanced over at the other molly, amber eyes sensing that she probably wasn't telling the whole truth - but then again, nor was Owlflame. Nor was anybody, probably. Thunderclan had always been a clan of the proudest of cats, but with such pride came an intense need to constantly be at your best. Mental health was most definitely something, in Owlflame's opinion, the clan could do a better job of talking about. But perhaps the recent violence had turned her a bit soft. "I ain't much of a talker, and I'm certainly not good at advice-" She began, offering her sincerest expression, "-but I am always here if you need to talk Mistyshade, us Thunderclan cats have got to stick together - now more than ever."

Pausing for a moment, Shadowheart scanned the clearing before returning her blue gaze back towards the kit. Smiling softly, Shadowheart had purred out a response “Streamkit is a pretty name, I’m Shadowheart.”

[Patrols and recovery are due on August 21st by 11:59pm EST! Extensions will be granted if you ask via VM. If you cannot participate in a patrol then please request a replacement via VM or your cat will be reported as not having shown up for their duty. In order for the patrol recovery to count, one of the members of the new patrol (preferably the leader) must bring one of the members of the old patrol back during their report].

It appeared her clanmates couldn't even complete their patrols. Turning her head, Whitewolf watched as Pinewatch organized a few. The young Warrior had demonstrated a lot of growth, it seemed. Whitewolf still couldn't help but be disappointed with ThunderClan's efforts to regroup after the battle against RiverClan. She'd heard they fended them off well, but what of the herb storage? And why was the fresh kill pile sabotaged?

Growling to herself, the undead Warrior concluded someone in RiverClan must've decided ThunderClan deserved to starve. Whitewolf remembered the hard work she and others put into restocking the fresh kill pile--whichever RiverClan cat had done that was a monster. The Queens, kits, and Elders needed to eat more than anyone else and without Pinewatch around they might've gone hungry.

What was more, Whitewolf was furious that two of her patrols had decided not to return. If she couldn't trust some of her clanmates with responsibility then she'd replace them with ones she could. She would show them what a proper patrol looked like and send out not only replacement patrol leaders, but a search-and-rescue team in the event one was needed. How humiliating that would be if those patrols were homeward bound and simply late.

"Yewbark [ @Prevail ] and Berryburr's [ @wnder ] patrols have not arrived on time," the undead Warrior said matter-of-factly. Her eyes seemed to droop and she still looked physically weak, though at least after the battle against RiverClan and sending out previous patrols, she knew who she wouldn't send out on patrol. "I am putting my trust in Aspenstrike [ @poppy. ] to lead a group of cats to the Weeping Tree to find them [the Tree will be taking the place of Firefly Cove, where Yew's patrol was originally assigned]. Aspenstrike will take Bluestripe, [ @Twilight Wing ] Goldeneyes, [ @~Fierceclaw~ ] and Tigerpaw [ @/Zee ] on a search and rescue patrol." Nodding, she turned to a group of cats standing by. "Mistyshade [ @Stardust~ ] will lead the search and rescue toward Herondive Hollow to recover Berryburr's patrol. Silverdust, [ @Silverfur & Co ] Pearface, [ @Celeste ] and Fernpaw [ @Singing Jay ] will accompany her."

Whitewolf flexed her claws into the ground. She'd wanted to send Stormfang out, but he'd proven unreliable after failing to report to Thistlethorn (who she was unhappy with for exchanging immature discourse prior to the battle). Frankly, she didn't care if cats wanted to disregard her or brush her off because she was supposed to be dead. Returning wasn't her decision, after all, even if she was becoming keener by the day to prove she deserved a second chance at life.

"I will be hunting independently. All of you are not only expected to return the late patrols to camp, but to assist in replenishing ThunderClan's fresh kill pile with prey and help Icicleripple stock up on cobwebs." With that, Whitewolf nodded at the patrols she assigned. "You're dismissed."

She would not accept any further questions. Her orders had been clear.

@Stardust~ @Celeste (im a cat has taken a mental health break, so we'll go without her)

Fernpaw didn't like to take orders from Whitewolf but it was best to get this
over with this. He shot one recentfull look before scaning the clearing for the
other cats on his patrol, Mistyshade and Pearface hu? He didn't know mush
about ether of them but he was about to find out...

[Zee]

[ @Singing Jay thank you for notifying me that [ im a cat ] is on hiatus. I have replaced their Eaglesong with [ Silverfur & Co ] 's Silverdust]

[~Fierce~]

~Goldeneyes~

Goldeneyes pricked her ears as she heard her name being called for a patrol. She shook her fur before padding over to listen to who she was on patrol with. She looked around for Aspenstrike, the patrol leader.

Streamkit smiled. "Thank you." She replied. "Shadowheart, why do you keep looking around?" Streamkit asked, noticing how often the warrior kept glancing around. Then she noticed that Shadowheart only had one eye. "Oh. Is it hard to see everything at once with one eye?" She asked curiously.

~Shadowheart~
Nodding softly, Shadowheart let out a soft purr “of course.”. Hearing the question, Shadowhearts ears perked up as she tilted her head softly “well, yes, but I still have my eye it’s just..damaged,” blinking slowly, Shadowheart kept her muzzle sealed now.
