When Dawnstar made the announcement to avoid Pinewatch Patch, Hailpaw and I were already on our way to that location. I exercised poor judgment in taking him near there, but I had the intention of ensuring my apprentice wasn’t ignorant of a single slice of ShadowClan territory. I hope all of you can understand the desire to drill every piece of knowledge into our apprentices.

“I tried my best to save Hailpaw. I brought him back here immediately. It just wasn’t meant to be. To all of my Clanmates who I let down, I’m sorry. To Dawnstar, I fully acknowledge my lack of judgment.” He dipped his head, waiting anxiously for Dawnstar’s response.

( @Undertaker Thank you again for everything )

Ratstrike quickly leapt at the tom, in anger.

[Morning!]

Another kit padded up for their apprentice ceremony, but she frowned somewhat as she saw them drag with them some moss. Ok, that was new. Another kit also followed that one, so there were all three. The 'kit' part of their names was changed to 'paw' for two of the kits, but Purekit's was changed to Wildpaw. Another frown graced her face, but from what she saw of the cat it did seem fitting.

Owlstorm wasn't sure how often the great leader took on apprentices, but since she had seen that hairball around Dawnstar a bunch, she wasn't surprised. But the stormy molly perked up as her name was mentioned. She... was getting an apprentice? Already? She had been in the clan for a month now, and Dawnstar acknowledged that, but apparently what she had done to distract the dogs to let the clan get away from them was enough for Dawnstar to give her this apprentice.

The meeting moved on and Magpiepaw also got their mentor, but it also seemed there was another outsider that had joined. The grey and silver-furred molly looked around for the cat, Iceeyes, and soon spotted them. Her gaze lingered on the cat for a little bit, before she stood up and headed for her apprentice. She had noticed that Dawnstar didn't mention anything about Magpiepaw being troublesome, meaning the leader was giving Owlstrom the more difficult one. A test? Perhaps. Either way, she'd work hard on this one. She found Wildpaw and gave them a little nod, to them. They'd started training soon.

But there was one more thing it seemed, and Owlstorm turned as the cat who she guessed was Shadowfur spoke. Her eyes narrowed and she gave an irritated scoff at what she saw as a very crappy excuse. But her irritation grew as she saw someone leap at Shadowfur. Sure, Dawnstar had told the clan to report to her right away if they ever saw Shadowfur, but the cat was right there, what happened to them was up to Dawnstar.

Shadowfur leapt out of the way. “What in StarClan’s name are you doing?” he hissed.

“YOU TRAITOR!” His fur spiked up in anger.

[Morning!]

Iciclekit had been sitting still, watching the three other kits become apprentices, but her blue eyes widened as Dawnstar herself took on one as hers to train. Wow. Had Roankit done something to earn the great leader's respect enough to get Dawnstar as their mentor? If so, Iciclekit was itching to know what. She didn't plan to set that as her goal, but it would be nice to know still... Apparently, a warrior who had recently joined also got an apprentice, and Iceeyes was mentioned to have joined as well. Iciclekit cocked her head. It wasn't surprising rogues would pick Shadowclan to join, they were the strongest after all, and she had to admit she was a little curious about them.

But as one cat began to speak, and Iciclekit turned their way, she realized that the cat she was looking at was Shadowfur. The traitor, as they were now known to her. The excuse was pitiful in her opinion, and she rolled her eyes somewhat, before turning to dawnstar, waiting eagerly to see what kind of punishment Shadowfur would get. But the leader didn't seem to have much time for that as Ratstrike immediately attacked Shadowfur. Iciclekit jumped up at the commotion right next to her, but after quickly gathering herself, her piercing blue gaze drilled into Ratstrike. Idiot! Dawnstar was right there, probably ready to punish Shadowfur in whatever way she saw fit, and this warrior thought he had the authority to decide Shadowfur's fate?!

"Clam down!" The words were directed at Ratstrike. "Maybe you could let Dawnstar pick what punishment she sees fit, instead of trying to make those choices for her." Honestly, it seemed clear to Iciclekit. Dawnstar was undoubtedly the strongest cat in the forest, and this warrior wasn't giving her time to give out her orders?

Ratstrike simply rolled his eyes “I'm doing it for the future of our clan, so shut your muzzle and stand back.” {Apologies for Rat}

Ugh, hairballs were acting up again. Did no one even consider just leaving the situation to Dawnstar? Freaking out and randomly attacking a cat would bring nothing more than trouble. At least his daughter, Iciclekit, was a lot more clear-headed than some of ShadowClan's warriors these days. Rolling his eyes at Ratstrike, Cinderblaze proceeded to flank Iciclekit. He raised his eyebrows at Ratstrike, baring his teeth for just a moment to show the warrior he was doing something very wrong.

"Iciclekit is very much correct," the deputy hissed. Even if Ratstrike did not have the sensibility to listen to a kit who was being a lot cleverer than him, he surely would listen to a high rank. "I am not sure as to why you have decided that you have the authority to punish one of ShadowClan's warriors. Now stop acting like an idiot and let Dawnstar punish Shadowfur as she sees fit." With a flick of his ear, he showed that he was done with this, and that if Ratstrike would act up even more, there would probably be consequences. Cinderblaze had no problem with reminding cats of their place in the clan by physically harming them.

He turned to Iciclekit, smiling in a satisfied way. He had a side eye for Ratstrike, flexing his claws so that he would be ready for anything the warrior did. "That you are more sensible than Ratstrike doesn't surprise me," he mewed, attempting to curl his tail around her. "You speak the truth in a clever way, Iciclekit. I'm sure you will be a great, strong warrior one day."

If he had to pick a favourite out of all of his and Rainyhowl's kits, he would definitely choose Iciclekit. He had taken a liking to her, since she seemed to be the strongest out of all of them. And in addition to that, he was impressed by her ability to handle these situations at such a young age.

Moonkit was pleased with Robinscratch's answer. She didn't think they would ever be allowed to touch twoleg stuff, but they would have to do it under her supervision. Well, not that I care. Now we can finally do something. She flicked her tail and signaled to her siblings to follow her: "Let's go, Pinekit, Cloudkit!" This was her first chance of proving herself useful to Shadowclan. Even if they were all too young to do pretty anything, they could still help older cats in some way. Now she intended to to find something in particular that wouldn't hurt neither her nor Cloudkit or Pinekit.

"Our mission is to clear our camp from the stinky twoleg gargabe!" she announced determined with serious voice. Head and tail high, she gave suggestions that her siblings could choose to follow or not; Robinscratch would be there to watch over them, so she was knew they would be safe as long as they stick together instead of scattering around. "We shall not get close to stuff we don't know. If we can't touch something like clearstone, we don't do it. If there's something that looks safer, we ask Robinscratch or someone else if it is safe to pick it up." She was wondering if her instructions sounded clear and clever. She had heard from Dawnstar that clearstone was very dangerous if they put their paws on it, but she guessed that not every twoleg piece was so vicious.

"Understood? Let's get to work!" she mewed firmly and started inspecting the muddy ground around her. She hoped that no dangerous thing had drowned in the mud and was hidden somewhere, waiting to hurt them anytime. Who remembered when it had last rained? Maybe the water had participated in the deceitful plan.

Someone was bickering on the opposite side of the camp, but she didn't pay attention. Now Moonkit had an important mission to accomplish, and nothing would distract her from her goal.

Frostheart - Kinkcloud @Gay'Fluff
Frostheart smiled and nodded. "I hope they get good ment..." she stopped mid-sentence as she heard Dawnstar assigning her first apprentice. The silver tabby was happy that her leader thought she was brave. Frostheart blinked a thank you to Dawnstar. She looked at Kinkcloud with a bit of a sparkle in her blue eyes.

Cloudkit listens carefully to what his mother said about what happens when a cat is caught by two leg. He did not expect what his mother told them, that created a new doubt, why are there still cats with two leg? Shook his head head to get out of his thoughts and continue listening.

He was surprised when it got to the part where he would let them help clean up with the other cats. His surprise changed to one of emotion and he focused his attention on the orders that his sister gave about how to clean the place.

"Yes!"

She exclaimed when her sister said Let's get to work!. He began to search the ground for garbage of the two leg. She was a bit nervous about being distracted for a second and accidentally hurting herself and that's why they createthat she couldn't help, even if that wasn't the case, she was capable of helping like any of her siblings. Little by little Cloudkit was gaining confidence in herself and ignoring those thoughts that crossed her mind.
