Seeing the apprentices were okay, she padded back to the temporary camp. She saw Stagthorn, Honeyfrost, Lioncloud, Clearsong, and other cats talking in a group. She went up to the group and listened. Nodding at her brother's idea, she flicked her tail.
"That's a good idea. I could go the the apprentices and ask them if you would like," she mewed to Clearsong. She twitched her whiskers with impatience, her paws itching to do something.

Pebblesplash nodded in agreement to the elder.
"That's a great idea! I can go gather all the apprentices, because half of them are StarClan knows where..." she flicked her tail with amusement. This was exciting! But nerve wracking. Would StarClan accept the new warriors with out a proper leader holding a ceremony?
"Which ones will become warriors?" she asked, her paws twitching with excitement.

Stripepaw|13 Moons|Apprentice|18/18 Health|River|Mentions: Rainpaw

Stripepaw touched Rainpaw's ear comfortingly then pulled away looking into her eyes with a calm, gentle gaze. " Hey, it's okay. This will be over soon. We will make a new camp and live the rest of our lives. Life has its reasons." He murmured softly feeling more wind ruffle his grey pelt. He looked up to the sky then back to Rainpaw. He felt warmth looking into her eyes even though the day was cold.

Stormberry - 30 moons - Co-Deputy - 30/30 health - StarClan - Mentions: Sunstar, Snowecho (ID), Lionpaw, open!

Stormberry felt his chest get tighter and his breath get quicker with each second he was forced to spend in the company of Lionpaw - the brother he had not seen since he was an apprentice himself, but whose memory had haunted him for countless moons. He could see the distress Snowecho seemed to be feeling as a result of their time in StarClan, and almost certainly because of how he had reacted to his attempts at affection. But this was not the time and the place for such things. Snowecho could be comforted later; the threat posed by Lionpaw was very much imminent. His fur began to stand on end, and he didn't know whether to back away or face the issue head on. He watched Sunstar himself talk to the golden tabby with a look of dread, his pupils thin slits in his deep green eyes.

"S-stop." He began to breathe, over and over under his breath, getting ever so slightly louder each time. With his mind going into such overdrive with terror, it was hard to say anything else.

Lionpaw, meanwhile, seemed to be taking some kind of grim satisfaction in his brother's horror. He shook out the mane of white fur around his neck that resembled that of Stormberry, and took a step closer to Sunstar, keeping eye contact as he did so.

"I'm not surprised you've never heard of me. Cats these days don't talk about the apprentice murdered by his own kin."

The words were uttered with such spite and hatred as the large apprentice stared at Stormberry, it was almost as if they bred an acidic, toxic atmosphere in comparison to the purity and tranquility of StarClan. The young apprentice would have liked to relish this moment longer, but the battle had come, and there was little time for much else.

"Try and redeem yourself, brother. Would you die for something you believed in, like I had to?" He sneered, turning his back on the high ranking cats to let Stormberry consider whether he would prefer to face the wrath of his Clanmates or that of the Dark Forest. From the look of abject horror on the deputy's face, it would almost certainly be the latter.

Alderpaw - 13 moons - Apprentice - 18/18 health - Clan territory - Mentions: Softpaw (ID), Swallowpaw (ID), Stripepaw (ID), Rainpaw (ID), open!

Alderpaw was quick to devour the bird he had so cruelly killed, swiping his tongue over his muzzle as he sat down to gather his thoughts. He was being irrational, or was he? Irrational circumstances demanded irrational actions sometimes. But did they have to come from him? Did he not see himself as the beacon of responsibility and intellect in this sea of panic and chaos? The young tom let out a long sigh, and he looked over his shoulder at the temporary home they had made for themselves. He felt guilty about needing this time to himself, but it was better than having any kind of breakdown in front of the Clan, especially Softpaw. As his mind began to wander from their chaotic circumstances to the gentle black and white tom, he found his mind clearing more than it had done for well over a moon. Getting to his paws and beginning to walk a wide circle around the 'camp', he strangely found himself starting to yearn for the gentle comfort of Softpaw in a time when he thought he would need to be alone more than ever. He took a few moments to groom his short fur, before padding back to the assembled cats with the intention of asking Softpaw to come with him to go hunting for their Clanmates. It would allow them time to be by themselves and enjoy some relative peace and quiet, doing something they enjoyed. When he got back, however, he found Softpaw curled close to Swallowpaw, and the two certainly didn't seem like they wanted company. Alderpaw curled his long tail and felt a lump in his throat. He heard the purring, he saw the way he was looking at her. He turned tail ready to head back out by himself, but found himself walking almost straight into Stripepaw and Rainpaw in the process.

Harepaw~9 moons~Apprentice~18/18~Outside Camp/River~Mentions: Swiftstrike, *OPEN*
The she cat followed after her mentor, plundering over the feeling in her stomach. The time is rough for the clan, that is undeniable. But she worried about how much strain on the clan there would be to rebuild it after the storms and fire. She heard stories when she was a kit of the clan pulling through hardships, and she hoped she would never see it happen to the clan while she was alive, but that was a childish and unrealistic wish in reality. She would do what ever it took however. She would run through all the territory tell her eyes stung from the dust, and her paws ach to catch every last piece of prey. She would fight any cat or creature that threatened her clan, and she would fight to the death. She would sleep only long enough to make her able to function properly, so she could spend as much daylight she could helping her clan. Her thoughts turned the young she cats face to a serious and determined look, a look unfamiliar to the young she cat, and an expression for a much older cat. Though not a social or frown, just simply serious. Something was changing in the young cat.

Clearsong - 15 Moons - Warrior - 30/30 Health - Temporary Camp - Mentions: Honeyfrost, Pebblesplash, Lioncloud, Stagthorn, Apprentices (ID), Sunstar (ID), Willowstar (ID)

Clearsong felt a bit more confident as his idea was easily accepted. He nodded at Lioncloud's suggestion. "I think that would be the best for the apprentices seeing as what's happening doesn't seem to be stopping soon. Though, they would still need to go through their warrior assessment yet." His tail twitched, "Though, I feel bad thinking the leaders, deputies, and medicine cats are going to miss the ceremony if we do one." He looked up once more, "We should also appoint joint leaders and deputies, seeing as two minds can debate a possible solution much better than one can." By then he was kneading the ground, tearing up the grass as his ideas flew from his lips. He stared at the others wide eyed as a thought popped into his mind, "How are we going to appoint temporary leaders?" He looked up at the cloudy sky for a moment, "I don't think we're going to get a sign any time soon... Should we have it up to the clan to choose?" He sat back down and tilted his head in thought, How would we even go about doing so?


Rainpaw - 11 Moons - Apprentice - 17/18 Health - Temporary Camp - Mentions: Stripepaw, Alderpaw

Rainpaw looked up, fluffing up her smooth silver pelt against the cold. Stripepaw nosed her ear and she smiled slightly, a warm feeling spreading through her ear where it was touched. "It's just... everything happened so suddenly. To be honest... It kinda scared me. I tried to put on a happy face to cheer up everyone else but it didn't really work. I tried to leave the camp for a while to take a break from it all, but more things kept happening, one after the other. It seemed as if I couldn't go anyone without seeing a cat sick or in need." Her mind flashed with an image of her brother and she fluffed up a bit more, when she stopped being happy and got lost in her thoughts she tended to think of him: knocked unconscious by a young fox, never to be seen again after that. Stripepaw's soft, yellow gaze shook her from her thoughts and she calmed down again. She enjoyed the peace she was feeling, though she was slightly confused as to why and how the gray apprentice managed to get her to tell her actual feelings to him. The stumbling pawsteps of Alderpaw finally yanked her completely out of her thoughts, and she had to stifle a yowl of surprise. "A-Alderpaw!" She said, hoping he didn't hear her exchange, though by the look in his eyes, she was pretty sure he didn't hear her conversation. "Are you okay? You look like you just saw an adder!"

Stagthorn | 30 Moons | Warrior | 29/30 | Temp Camp | Mentions: Clearsong, Honeyfrost, Lioncloud

Stagthorn nodded and meowed, "I believe that a warrior ceremony is just the thing that could raise clan spirits in this trying time. I think that at the same meeting when we have all the cats we could ask them to pick cats that are best suited not necessarily to lead, but to guide the clan while our leaders and deputies are out of action." His green eyes glanced questioningly at the other cats gathered around. "Maybe we could have the clan pick from cats that specifically step forward and volunteer? That way we can avoid any cat being picked who is uncomfortable with being chosen."

Pebblesplash nodded along with the other cats. These ideas were awesome!
"I'll go find the apprentices now," she purred. She popped up, and sprang off, calling the apprentices names.
Her paws drummed against the earth with excitement. This is so exciting!

Stripepaw opened is mouth to say something when he saw Alderpaw almost walk right into them. Stripepaw stepped back giving the tom some room. He looked like he had just saw someone die. "Alderpaw? You okay?" He asked slightly worried. Not slightly, very worried. Stripepaw looked over to the direction Alderpaw had just come from. He didn't see anyone dying though. He turned back to Alderpaw interested in what he had to say.

Honeyfrost nodded. "Indeed," she said. "The more warriors we have, the better. Who knows when something like this will happen again?" She took a deep breath and sighed. "Though I pray to Starclan it doesn't." She began thinking, "Shouldn't the medicine cats name their apprentices, however? They deal with Starclan, I'm sure they wouldn't want warriors naming them"

Clearsong - 15 Moons - Warrior - 30/30 Health - Temporary Camp - Mentions: Pebblesplash, Stagthorn, Lioncloud, Honeyfrost

Clearsong waved his tail as his sister left to get the apprentices. Turning back, he looked at Honeyfrost and nodded his head, "Yes, I agree. However, at the moment, they aren't old enough, anyways, and we are bending Starclan's will by appointing new warriors already, I really don't think they'd appreciate it if we meddled in medicine cat matters." As he said this, he had a horrible thought that the medicine cats may not wake up, however just as fast as it had come, he pushed it to the back of his mind. He turned to Lioncloud and nodded in respectful agreement, "I completely agree that you should be the one to preform the ceremony. I haven't seen very many and I am one of the most recently made warriors." He suddenly realized that because he was a new warrior, he had never had an apprentice, so he didn't even qualify for a leadership role. His heart dropped, but he knew he'd still try to volunteer for the temporary role. "We should probably get started soon, better now than later." He looked up at the overcast sky, and to the camp that still had smoke rising off of it even though the fire went out long ago. This needed to happen before something happened again.

"APPRENTICES! SWALLOWPAW! ICEPAW! HAWKPAW! STRIPEPAW! SOFTPAW! RAINPAW! EVERYONE! COME TO THE TEMPORARY CAMP!" Pebblesplash yowled to the forest, her paws drumming the earth. The rain wasn't bothering her anymore. The excitement was to much to handle. She wanted to run, swim, hunt, EVERYTHING! This ceremony would help the cats find a bright spot. She hoped.
