ShadowClan Life Before Destruction

[Mayflower]

Magnoliapetal purred with delight. Irispaw- no, Irisflame received her name. That in itself was a large enough deal to add her voice to the chorus. She did not bother with the Windclan newcomers, who were they.. Foxwhatever? They didn't matter. Theymwere a waste of her time. She let her voice ring out in celebration, curling her tail into the air as she joined the cacophony of cats. "Irisflame! Irisflame!"

[Moonraven]

Dawnstripe was starting to wonder if green cough has cost her mother a few brain cells. Why in the world was she taking in a bunch of no good WindClan traitors? Not that Dawnstripe understood the situation all that well, but if they just went off and abandoned their former clan on a whim what made her mother trust these rabbit-hearted fleabags? A bunch of cowardly hairballs is what they were. She hissed silently while violently lashing her tail. Whatever, Icestar could do whatever she wanted. So long as the dungeaters stayed out of her way and away from her she'd tolerate them stinking up the clan.
"Irisflame." Dawnstripe didn't know much about the medicine cat since she avoided the medicine den. Still, if she got her full name and continued to serve ShadowClan, Dawnstripe had no problem with her.

Rosedapple wrinkled her nose as she took in Icestars words. She couldn't be serious? She understood taking in those who want to go, but to take them as they were desperate? The warrior wondered if these three even fought with the choice to leave, to leave their clan mates feeling betrayed and lost like that. The dark eyed calico hummed, eyeing the new arrivals with a look of contempt. Well then, if they can't fight for their home, then maybe they can prove they can fight for Shadowclan. And if they can't throw what little their loyalty seems to mean to them here, then Rosedapple could at least know someone like Icestar wouldn't stand for it.

"Foxpudge! Butterflypaw! Cowpaw! Irisflame!" Bloodtooth called out with excitement for the new cats, and for Irisflame.

Jaggedclaw's nose pricked with a nasty, unfamiliar scent. He did not trust these newcomers, but he only called out their names to avoid attention from other cats. The black tom was overjoyed for Irispa- Irisflame's new name, and tried to call it out as loud as he could.

[Moon Lily]

Irisflame puffed out her chest proudly as she heard her name repeated over and over. She'd never actually heard her name cheered, and she quite liked it. The only thing she remembered was how her former clanmates never really acknowledged her. It felt good to be noticed. She smiled towards the new clanmates as well- they were part of the clan now, and they deserved recognition.
"Foxpudge! Butterflypaw! Cowpaw!" She yelled with...well, most of them. She was shocked to find that many cats had no interest in calling the former WindClanner's names. She felt her eyes narrow in disgust. They were good cats, and though it was alright to be suspicious, ignoring them wouldn't help.

Raventuft called Irisflame's name jadedly, still suspicious of the former ThunderClanner. He was still convinced that she was a spy for Duskstar and Flintspirit. After all, why had she gone to ThunderClan before? It may have had something to do with WindClan, but he doubted it. And he refused to call the WindClanner's names. Those three cats were undoubtedly up to something. It was quite obvious. He was oblivious as to why Icestar had even let them come here in the first place. How idiotic could a leader be?

Berrybounce called the names of each cat with great enthusiasm, eyes wild.
"Foxpudge! Cowpaw! Butterflypaw! Irisflame!" She yowled, her voice chanting along with the others. She looked in Raventuft's direction, and her eyes narrowed. He was practically calling for nobody. Irisflame's sarcastic namecall didn't count. She'd talk to him later, the silly tom. Turning back to the crowd, she grinned widely, still chanting.

Blackkit called out his clanmates names enthusiastically as he watched them with the same pride as if he'd been promoted himself.

Nightpaw had fallen silent after she told her 'story'. It was the first time she had actually told anyone, and it felt like the reality was only now really dawning on her- but atleast she still had her mother, and she was grateful for that.
The white apprentice glanced to Frostpaw as he murmured. Glancing back to her paws she nodded slightly "yo-you're right" she said quietly. It indeed had been a busy day, and he was right to say they shouldn't be thinking about that- not on such a beautiful night.

Lifting her black up, she looked at him when he spoke, tilting her head as she thought for an answer; the molly had never really thought about that until now. But after a few moments she finally answered "i-i'm not s-sure.." Nightpaw started before pausing for a second "th-the fal-ling snow of l-leaf-ba-re is really pr-pretty.. th-though i've be-been enjoying n-new leaf as we-ll, w-with the so-soft breezes and ev-everything bloom-ing" she eventually said with a small smile. It really was pretty how the forest and all plants seemed to have regained life after the cold times "w-what ab-out you?"

Nightpaw was surprised to hear about the new clan mates- sure, she was curious as to why Icestar would give this proposition in the first place, but she didn't at all mind the cats joining. Honestly the biggest down point would be that there would be more cats in the apprentice den which didn't really help with her not so great socialising skills, but she'd get used to it. She raised her voice the best she could as she called out the new names, also delighted that their medicine cat had now received her warrior name.

Frostpaw pictured snow in his mind. The first thing he'd seen after being let out of the nursery was snow. It was white and blinding - amazing at first, but his eyes had been quickly drawn to red and orange leaves. There were only a few and they stuck to the trees despite the harsh breeze. They were rebellious and even as a kit, the resistance had impressed him. "I enjoy leaf-fall the most," the white apprentice told Nightpaw. Most cat hated the unpredictable weather of leaf-fall, especially with most of it being wet and dreary. "The color of the leaves," he explained. It wasn't the exact reason he loved leaf-fall, but it was a nice sight none the less and it wasn't a lie.

Relief flood into his green hues followed by a sigh. He wouldn't know what to do if she said no. Her kind words made the spotted tom's tail sway happily, shifting gaze over to the Shadowclan warrior with a big, inane grin on his face. Tip of his tail twitched gesturing a small 'hello', purring. Then Quicksilver popped up in his head at that moment feeling a bit blue. He will miss him! A lot. Last time he saw the silver warrior he looked fine and ...Twilightstar will appoint him a new apprentice. One who's way better than him. Mentally shoving back his distress of Windclan all together he focused on 'the now'. He's going to be a Shadowclan apprentice! This is exciting, yup yup. Dragging his attention back at Icestar, he mewed. "My name is Cowpaw! Thank you, Icestar."
Cowpaw faced the warrior, dipping his head more than once jumping around them. "Hi, hi I'm Cowpaw! Nice to meet you!"
