ThunderClan: Life Before 2023's Sinkhole

[Lilacquartz]

She was quick to arrive, fashionably late but perhaps in an according manner. She perked her ears to Sparrowstar reassigning her to train an.. apprentice? One that was named sharp as well. She shuddered. Though the apprentice wasn't present at the moment. She didn't mind it. She would wait for the youngsters.. for a millennia at least.

Newtlight
[ she/her ]

The ebony feline raised her head trying not to show how surprised she was to be assigned another apprentice. After her last one she didn't want to apprentice again until at least another 6 Moons, but that was a selfish wish, she needed to do her part. Stepping forward towards her new apprentice she touched noses with him, "Greetings. I am Newtlight your new mentor."

After talking to Bluekit and Lotuskit, Moonkit bounded out of the nursery with Mossyflower in tow. "I wanna see the camp, let me see the camp!" she squealed.

She was never this sick to begin with, it seems like the world has cursed her with misfortune as soon as she turned a corner on life. Throughout her lifetime she has never felt this unfair. Perhaps she was letting her anger get to her, she tried to let her warrior duties restrict her from such things she could potentially do. She has made too many gifts that have been lost over some days, moons, or even lifetimes. A grunt escaped her as she sashayed around camp letting her paws lead her. Being removed from her queen status made her feel.. strange. She wasn't as busy as she used to be. Kits were rampantly tumbling around and rumbling with each other. Being a warrior well.. was a bit boring. Dashingly passing by the nursery, something hit her with a piece of nostalgia. She halted in her tracks whipping her head around to face the nursery entrance. Her eyes scrutinized inside, immediately stopping not wanting to head any dirty looks from passerby.

The corners of her lips twitched as she stalked in forward cautiously. Giving a tail flick of a greeting towards the queens inside. There were new queens with fresh litters of kits for Thunderclan. The murky milk-scent hit her nose, jittering out her fur that made no sense of movement. Quickly walking through with her tail held low, silently rasping as she wanted to keep herself away from the nursery for sometime. Ever to be dared to step foot in here. With a slight frown she sped forward, managing to touch any outlier rubble in the way of her tracks. She weaved through a nest, her vision getting distracted by an idle kit. Her ears perked alert to see a distantly familiar tabby pattern. Her maw dropped as she made her way over. The kit.. no they were a bit bigger. They were out and snoring like a fox. She looked towards Rainpaw and realized. She realized too late. Quietkit? That's not possible.

The kit smelled like an outsider, but they were so familiar. Her haunches raised in excitement. Her guesses were not correct, but the exact opposite. A shallow hefty breath escaped her creating a small cold mist into the air. Quietkit was fast asleep. She also didn't want to disturb the other cats in here, she slinked on over. Giving grateful tear-filled looks towards both of her kits. Wrapping herself around the slumbering Quietkit. It doesn't matter how long she would have to be in here. She would like to stay forever. Being greeted with the gifts she had gifted to the world. It was pleasant unlike the cold floors of camp.

Quietkit had fallen asleep after eating the mouse, succumbing to her exhaustion. She didn’t know how long she was asleep, but it seems like she had only nodded off for a few seconds when something touched her. Because of her constant state of anxiety and stress living alone in the twolegplace and the outskirts, the touch immediately set her on edge and she jumped, eyes flying open. She didn’t recognize her surroundings for a second, and panic showed on her face before she realized what was going on. Her expression turned to one of relief and slight embarrassment, realizing the Rainpaw was still there. And, wait, was that-??

When Quietkit recognized the cat that was curled around her she went almost completely tense from sheer joy. It was her mother! Her dark blue eyes shine and for a second she didn’t know quite what to do. In fact, she almost started crying. She had been gone for long, it was just sinking in that she was home, she was safe, and best of all? She had her family back! Of course, now there was still her father, Lavenderpaw and Fallowpaw (well, she assumed her sister would have the same title as her other siblings, why wouldn’t she?) to reunite with. She glanced at the nursery’s entrance, wondering if they’d come in and greet her, though she was too excited to see her mother to worry fully about it.

Foxpaw was done with dealing with stuck-up brats. She slipped out of the apprentices den, hoping Ducklingflight would take care of them. So long as her stuff wasn't screwed up when she got back, all would be well. She wasn't a tattletale, but she would hold a grudge. That was one thing she was good at. The molly walked through the wee morning light and nearly tripped over a rock. Nope, it was a kit. Another one? At least, this one hadn't made her mad yet. "Sorry about that, you all good?" Kits weren't her favorite creatures, but she felt she owned this one some sympathy.

Mossyflower stood up and walked over too Moonkit, "Of course!" she meowed gestering her head towards the Thunderwillow. "That is the Thunderwillow, that is where meetings sometimes happen."

Moonkit bounced up and down. "Ooohhh, is there gonna be a mee'ing soon? I wanna see the leader up there!" Then she noticed the new cat approaching, an apprentice, it looked like. They seemed distracted and kept walking forward, until they nearly stepped on Moonkit and tripped. "Ow!" She squeaked. "That hurt!"

Flameheart was not very surprised at how many reassignments were occurring during this meeting. Multiple of her denmates were a bit more irresponsible than herself, but that was up to Sparrowstar and Copperfire to handle. It was no surprise Sharppaw was to recieve a new mentor either, especially considering he had to seek out help with his training. It was unfortunate Sharppaw wasn't here to see he was getting reassigned, but Quailfur was a responsible she-cat and would help the young tom during his situation. It wasn't until after Oriolepaw's reassignment Sparrowstar mentioned Foxpaw ( @Pheasantflight ) and Flameheart in the same sentence. M-me?! A mentor already?!

The young she-cat was having difficulty hiding her excitement and began kneading the dirt beneath her paws to contain it in a way that wouldn't catch ThunderClan's attention. Being a large cat came with many disadvantages, but one advantage the large classic tabby Maine Coon found to be quite helpful, especially in this scenario, was the ability to see over many of her Clanmate's heads. I have to go greet Foxpaw now... where is she? Moving her head both left and right, the young she-cat managed to pick out her new apprentice's pelt. There you are! a purr rumbled in her throat as she looked at Sootfur ( @Wingnettle ) and murmured, "I'll be back."

Weaving between her fellow ThunderClanners, the large warrior made her way over to her new apprentice, well, really... her first apprentice. Her pelt felt hot with excitement, although Foxpaw has had training beforehand, Flameheart would be the one to finish it! I can't believe this is actually happening, thank you, StarClan!

"Hello, Foxpaw. I look forward to finishing your training," she purred before touching her pink nose to Foxpaw's. "We'll get ya to warriorhood in no time, don't you worry about it."

Tilting her head in the direction of her gray tabby mate, Flameheart slowly began walking toward him, hoping her apprentice would follow behind. The orange and white warrior had not expected to recieve an apprentice so soon, but there would be no complaint coming out of her. Instead, it would be pride. Pride in herself and in Foxpaw, who she knew to be a hard-working apprentice that just needed to learn all she could. Thinking of this made Flameheart chuckle. Foxpaw reminded her so much of her younger self, back when she was Flamepaw. She was eager to learn, and furious at those who didn't complete the lesson with her. Rushfire was the only one who had done that. Mapleleaf had taught her the majority of what she knew. Bumbleflight, who was no longer present in ThunderClan, had seen her assessment and was the one to tell her she'd become a warrior.

I guess I'll be the one to oversee Foxpaw's assessment and finish her training... the young warrior smirked to herself, proud to have been given this chance so early into her warriorhood. I refuse to let Foxpaw and Sparrowstar down. I can't stand by and let Foxpaw get cast out of ThunderClan due to incomplete training. Her training's my responsibility now, just as it is hers getting it. I would need to teach her a bit more than just the regular training apprentices receive to make her see that, though. But no matter, I'm ready for the challenge.

"Probably not" Mossyflower replied, turning around to figure out what she'd show Moonkit next when she heard her say ow. Mossyflower turned around quickly, "Are you okay?" she meowed, realizing that an apprentice was standing there, they must of accendently stepped on Moonkit's paw. "Oh hi Foxpaw" exclaimed. "How's your day been?"

@Sprig @Streamtail @NotIvySpirit lol

You know what, Foxpaw didn't want to get in trouble. And if she had to listen to the two tiny devils anymore, she would probably do something that she might regret later. No, she wasn't planning murder, but psychological warfare was not out of the question. Besides, a look from Ducklingflight suggested that she may have gone too far earlier, not that that was her fault. She was tired and grouchy and hungry, she had a reason to be angry. The fact that these tiny furballs got to have a good life with friends and family was frankly annoying, especially considering they wasted it doing stuff they weren't supposed to.

Ducklingflight was trying his best, but she really was pissed, even if it wasn't completely their fault. She felt kind of bad about it now, but neither of the buggers had reacted, so it wasn't too heavy on her conscious. "You know what, I'm out. Have fun with the insects." She brushed past him and out of the den, careful not to shove the toms shoulder. Bullying kits? Not an issue. Bullying a warrior? Now, that was out of the question.
