RiverClan Skyridge

[Silverfur & Co]

Featherspirit padded up to kestrelstar "I will go with you to the thicket." She mews softly even when she was a kit she knew that she had to make sure everyone needed a shoulder to cry on and she was going to do just that.

[Rizo]

Wolfsong looked to Moonfrost, who nodded in response, already anticipating the question her sister was going to ask. The pair stood and padded towards Kestrelstar.
"We would like to sit vigil for Talonkit as well," the silver furred she-cat mewed, her dark tabby sibling nodding in agreement.

[corgigirl]

Pebblepaw looked up. She was sad that Talonkit was gone, but she didn’t really know him. She was just glad all of her sisters were safe and sound, out of the way of the destructive path of the cold death ridden leaf bare.

Fawnspring

He had only just been released from the med cat den and this is what he comes back to!? He could have told the clan about talonkit first and then the warriors that would’ve brightened the mood a bit at least but he couldn’t suppress a pang of sorrow for the lost kit. His aching scarred limbs stung in the cold air as he struggled to get up on his paws dang my paws still twisted slightly and it still feels a little…broken better let snakeheart know . Holding his left paw up at a awkward angle he shoved himself upwards onto his other limbs. He didn’t even think he was supposed to be out of the medicine cats den but he couldn’t help himself if kestrelstar called a clan meeting he was going to be there even if he was a little…late? How much had changed while he was out…how much had me missed…how much…had he forgotten! His mind went blank quite a few times but it all usually came back all except that night when he was injured all he remembered was his best friend wormbite! That’s right where is he? casting glances around the gathered cats trying to at lest find his missing friend. He didn’t even remember anything after he had met him that day all he remembered was wormbite.

It was just all so fuzzy, all his memories and thoughts where a blurr as he spun around with wide worried blue eyes. Was he ok? Where is his friend now e-excuse me your stepping on my tail- the sudden exclamation startled Fawnspring making jump and go unbalanced as he toppled over. But as he reopened his eyes a small gray face was peering down at him with concerned amber eyes I’m ok- and sorry about your tail, hey wait are you new to riverclan I’ve never seen you around? he knew it would be fairly rude to ask but the curiosity about this kit was arousing his own curiosity. Yes I’m new? I’ve never seen you before although I’ve only been here half a moon so…oh yeah! My names kestrelkit! Fawnspring purred in amusement or…he at least tried to purr but it more or less came out in a harsh growl almost tone. I’m Fawnspring. The reason you haven’t seen me around is because I’ve been in the medicine cat den although I’m pretty sure I’m not allowed out just yet- Fawnspring heaved himself up into a sitting position.

Kestrelkit

Oh…so someone died…how terrible he knew just how it felt to loose someone you love. He hadn’t even spoke to talonkit but maybe they could’ve been good friends just maybe they would have been great friends if he had met them sooner. A pang ripped at his heart as he thought of the grieving friends and family of the lost kitten…he didn’t know exactly what a vigil was just yet but it’s sounded almost like a thing to remember the lost. He was just about to get up when a paw landed right on his tail holding his down but as he turned to snap at who it was he froze. The tom before him resembled that of a small fawn but…great starclan he was covered in scars and cobwebs and smelled of herbs. His right ear was torn and his left eye was covered in scars and his throat has a huge scar going’s across it as did his shoulder and hind leg. The tom was holding a twisted paw up in the air as he balanced on his other three paws.

He seamed deep in thought and well kestrelkits tail was deep in agony right about now-E-excuse me your on my tail… but those words seemed to startle the older tom who took a tumble to the ground. He hadn’t seen him around before and quite honestly if he had he would remember his battle scarred body. Kestrelkit peered down at the brown tom as he lay seemingly unconscious but as he got closer he opened his eyes. I’m ok-and sorry about your tail, hey wait I haven’t seen you around are you new? the way he spoke sent chills down his body. He had never heard any cat sound like this one did. His voice was so deep and and it almost sounded like a growl it terrified and interested him. Oh yes I’m new! My name is kestrelkit and I’ve never seen you around before? the purr the older tom released was even more frightening than ever he clearly didn’t get good luck in battle. My name is Fawnspring and the reason you haven’t seen me is because I’ve been trapped in the medicine cats den

--Brittleshore--

The grey elder felt any amusement left from earlier die as the death of a kit was mentioned. Talonkit. Brittleshore hadn't known the kit, hadn't told any stories to that particular young one, but the death hit him hard all the same. It was another life ended far too early. Brittleshore let himself slowly wallow in his grief. There hadn't been anything he could've done to save the life...but how he wished there was.

Mustering up his courage, Brittleshore forced his old bones to get up. "I want to attend the vigil." He meowed, voice just loud enough to, hopefully, be heard by Kestrelstar. Sitting for all night would do no good for Brittleshore's general stiffness and soreness, but this was his choice and he would deal with the consequences.

[Beaan]

Lillyfang did a gasp. Tallonkit was gone!? Her eyes filled with greif. She padded up to her leader. "You wanted to talk to me?" She asked. Before he could reply she put in, "I would like to go. It is a warrior's duty to defend the weak. Sadly, we could not help talonkit" She mewed in greif. She never really knew the kit, but they were a part of the clan, and they would alawys be remembered

❄ Snowleap (he/them) ❄

➢ The tall Riverclan tomcat watched in silence and disbelief as the scene regarding Honeystream and Creekfoot unfolded. How could warriors stand to act like that? He couldn’t help but ask himself that, softly shaking his head before turning his gaze back to Kestrelstar, who soon returned to continue the meeting. His expression seemed to falter and his long ears flattened at the gray-furred tomcat’s news - a Riverclan kitten named Talonkit has died. The young tomkit had been found outside of camp, all alone in the freezing season of leafbare. Snowleap’s body seemed to tremble slightly at the thought. He hadn’t been a kitten when he had come to Riverclan during leafbare, but he hadn’t been an adult yet either. Something about that tugged at the dark-furred tomcat’s heartstrings as he looked down at his paws, thinking about things. His ears twitched at the sound of Kestrelstar announcing that he’d be leading a party to grieve for Talonkit. Snowleap had never been a part of something like that before, never being around when such a tragedy had happened in the past. Though the whole situation reminded him of when his mother once told him about his littermates who had died alongside him when he was born. Too weak. Too small. Too young for him to even know them.

This made him rise to his paws, leaving Raccoonear, Coralsplash and Ravenclaw where they had been all sitting together without a word. Snowleap made his way over to Kestrelstar, who was awaiting cats at the camp entrance. “I didn’t know Talonkit, but I would like to attend.” The young warrior said, his tone soft and sorrowful for the loss of a little one that he didn’t even know. He thought of Ryepaw and Spikekit, two young tomcats that he had been with while hearing a story from Brittleshore. Talonkit was probably a lot like them. Young, innocent, excited to hear stories and become an apprentice, just like any other Riverclan kit. He needed to do this. Snowleap felt like as a Riverclan warrior, he had a responsibility to mourn one of his own clanmates, just like many other cats were doing. His tail lashed behind him, these emotions confusing him.

[Carmela]

Honeystream heard Plumstorm and felt her skin prickle. This cat was not her favorite. Or even likeable. How she was made a Shield was beyond her. Hearing her words the warrior refrained from laughing. The Shield's words weren't necessary and completely not related. "Well, I hope you guys have a great time." Giving her a curt nod, Honeystream felt a lot of judgement from others. She couldn't believe the self-righteousness of them. What, no one laughed with another before? No one spoke curtly? They were all yes men and Honeystream decided to not pursue much else other than surface level relationships in that moment. Just because you were a Shield didn't mean you got to be a badger.

Talonkit's death did affect her. More than anything else. Not the drama, not the loss of an apprentice, not Plumstorm and her pettiness. A grim expression made her face fall. Not caring how she was perceived, the orange warrior made her way to Krestrelstar. Standing beside Snowleap, Honeystream spoke with a heavy tone. "I would also like to sit for Talonkit." What if that had been her sister, Yarrowkit? Shuddering at the thought she waited to go mourn with her Clan.

-PumpkinSprout-

The orange tabby winced at the mention of a kit having died only a little bit away from camp, Whisperkit is long gone now and she's probably dead. Her mond drifted back to her friend Hazelcloud, perhaps she would help PumpkinSprout look for Whisperkit.. even if it ment finding a body.

She swept her fluffy tail away from Mountainkit [ @Ritsuka ] and Goosekit [ @DeltaDace ], now that the meeting was over they were free to do as they pleased. PumpkinSprout turned to Wrenkit [ @flopsy ] and blinked at her gently "Would you like to attend the vigil?"

Death was a hard subject, especially with kits, and although this wasn't the first death that had happened in camp during her daughters' lifetimes PumpkinSprout thought that this one might scare the kits a little as the cat who died was Talonkit.

PumpkinSprout wasn't sure if she would attend the vigil or not, but if Wrenkit wanted to she would go.

Wrenkit | w/ @LeoDaLeaf

Her head leaned into her mother as she took in her scent comforted by her presence. Taking steady breaths she raised her head at the part about Talonkit being dead. She had seen them around in the nursery plenty of times before and she couldn't believe they were gone. Wrenkit had never thought about going to a vigil before but she owed it to go to her fellow clanmates' vigil. Green eyes looked back at her mother's green eyes and with sadness. Where were her siblings they were never around? And one of them unlike her never made it back home. She hoped that Whisperkit would come back soon. "Mhm." she would want someone to sit vigil for them it was only right.
