Rainpaw - 12 Moons - Apprentice - Gash on Left Thigh - Territory - Mentions: Owlpaw, Mintwhisper

Rainpaw returned the gesture of affection from her clanmate, happy he was alright. When he inquired about her leg she gave him a reassuring smile, “It’s nothing,” she assured him, “I shouldn’t have lingered near the lake, I’m sorry.” She apologized, lowering her head in shame. She looked back up at Owlpaw, “You were right, we should have stayed at camp. I’ll make sure to think things through from now on.” Another wave of guilt washed over her. This wouldn’t happen again, she’d make sure of it.

Rainpaw nodded when Mintwhisper asked about her ability to get back to camp. She nodded. She’d have to limp a bit, but walking shouldn’t be a huge issue for now.

Owlpaw nodded with a distracted purr tuning his larynx. He felt relieved but also guilty, but his guilt would falter later. Right not it was a nice mini reunion that tested loyalty and strength. Short reality brought his mind back to a pacing wildman, Rainpaw was injured. The apprentice eyed her rear leg heavily. the wound didn't seem too deep but.. Infection could be possible if they didn't hurry. Inhaling a deep breath, feeling his lungs rejoice on the intake of fresh air now that the smoke was clearing. He couldn't help but hack from time to time, being exposed to it for an intense time. He was so busy in his on thoughts that he overhear Rainpaw's apology. As he shared gazes with her affirmatively, he recognized that she was speaking to him directly. He was going to respond with his own statement, but held his tongue and just nodded. " I'm sorry I left you.. I was soo anxious to get home.." He hung his head for the time being.

However, now was not the time to mope in his sorrow. He positioned himself on her right flank as leaning support just incase. He blinked, gratefully to Mintwhisper before following in pursuit back to home. He hoped Birchheart was doing well. Sensory fibers vibrating in the future possible scolding they might get if she or Terrastar learned what they were up to. Of course it would be evident with Rainpaw's gash and Mintwhisper's presence. He sighed okay, preparing to face the music.

Stormstep | Deputy | 26 moons | Healthy | Territory | Mentions: Owlpaw, rainpaw, Mintwhisper, Terrastar

Stormstep shook his pelt and stretched. He padded into the small clearing the cast were in. "Rainpaw? Oakpaw?!" He fretted something bad must of happened. "What happened to you guys?!" He approached the cats and sniffed the wounds. "What did you guys do?" He wondered. "Does it hurt?" He would scold them later.

The deep red warrior nodded and stood to Rainpaw’s left just in case. She started to walk towards camp, mulling over how to chastise the apprentices once they were safely in camp and healed. For now she periodically gave worried glances at the two young cats. Owlpaw was coughing from inhaling to much smoke it seemed and Rainpaw was, well obviously, injured. She smiled slightly at their apologies to one another, “Well let’s get back to camp before anyone catches us.” She joked. “We do need to get you patched up. However,” She gave a stern look. “I will chew your ears out when we get back.” She didn’t really believe the last sentence herself, she’d probably just scold them lightly.

Mintwhisper’s head swirveled towards the sound of Stormsteps voice in surprise, he must have come not too long after she had left. “Hello Stormstep,” she greeted the deputy. “The apprentices got a bit caught up in the fire but they’re safe now. We were going to head back to camp.” She summed up for him, kind of impatient to get the bleeding apprentice to the medicine cat den.

The apprentice started to see the brighter view of things as did Mintwhisper. A small mischievous small flickering across his jowls at Rainpaw for getting into such mayhem. The repercussions was of course not expected but well-learned for. He nodded to the red warrior , not minding the ear chewing later to come for he deserved it. They carried on towards camp.

Owlpaw nearly jumped out of his white socks when he heard Stormstep's deep inquiry. His cervical muscles craning to look at the approaching deputy. Pinnas lowered submissively. " Just accidentally got caught in the f-fire." He trailed, aware that a scolding was incoming from the depths. Maybe it was best Stormstep did in such manner rather than Terrastar or his mentor. Blinking his dazzling gaze to the deputy, they carried on again with swiftness unfolding in their souls.

Rainpaw held in a snort at Mintwhisper’s warning, but knew she deserved it. She leaned on Owlpaw, grateful she had such a great companion.

She didn’t hear Stormstep approach and nervousness washed over her, just knowing she’d be in huge trouble. Her ears lowered in shame and let the other two explain what had happened to their deputy. Mintwhisper may give them mercy, but she had a feeling Stormstep was going to make sure the lesson they learned from this incident would be engraved in their minds forever. At this rate, her mistakes would guarantee she wouldn’t be a warrior until she was 50 moons old. “Have you noticed the leaking drying up?” she inquired, attempting to change the subject.

Terrastar - 38 Moons - Leader - Healthy - Territory, Camp - Mentions: Everyone

Terrastar saw Stormstep approach the group of cats and decided to head back to camp in order to announce Maplestream's death. His heart was heavy with grief. He had known Maplestream his entire life. His paws fell heavy on the ground and his tail drooped as he padded back towards camp. His mind wandered to when he had first gone to Dreampool with the medicine cat. He had been nervous, and excited. The instructions to drink the water had struck him as odd, but it had resulted with him having more lives. At least that is what he was told. In the six moons they had been a Clan, Maplestream had avoided going to the Dreampool at the same time as the other medicine cats, instead favouring visiting it at full moon, when he could be alone.

The leader barely noticed that he had automatically carried himself to the high stump he used to announce his clan until he almost bumped into it. He quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts of Maplestream, jumping up and gazing across his camp. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around for a Clan meeting!" He yowled. His voice rung clear through the air, strong and confident. It could probably be heard by the cats out of camp as well, but he was not too sure of that. If the cats did not gather, he would let out another yowl in a few heartbeats. While waiting, he chatted with another warrior(NPC).

((This works as a small summary for people who have not been able to catch up))

"I had a chat with Fernstar by the border after Stormstep and his patrol failed to come back, I'm meeting her by noon tomorrow. While we chatted, I noticed that the lake has dried up, and across the dried up lake I saw smoke. I'm informing the rest of the Clan of what happened by the fire, but know that Snowcloud went to Dreampool with Aetherclan's medicine cat apprentice. I expect her to return tomorrow, and I will send a patrol to fetch her if she doesn't."

Mintwhisper’s head involuntarily turned toward the direction of the lake at Rainpaw’s comment. She had to admit she didn’t really notice how dry it had become, the lakes water drying up slowly enough that she hadn’t noticed. Well the dryness explained the fires. “Hmm, I actually didn’t notice... I hope rain comes soon then so we don’t have to worry.” She shook her head silently, one problem after another huh?

The white vitiligo she-cat noted that she was almost at camp. As if on cue she heard Terrastar’s voice calling for a meeting, her pace involuntarily picked up a bit as she did not like being late. Turning her head toward her companions she gave a little smile before speaking, “Owlpaw. Could you take Rainpaw to the medicine cat den, both of you need some rest and to get checked up.” She paused before continuing, “Don’t worry about going to the meeting I can tell you what happened later, that or you’ll probably hear it from the den.” She chuckled, poking fun at how loud Terrastar’s voice had been moments before. With that the red warrior slipped through the entrance of camp.

Oakpaw lifted his head from a session of trying to weave some leaves he had picked out into his pelt when he heard the summons from Terrastar. He was quick to bound to his paws and stroll over to sit as close to the leader as he could get, looking up at the older tom with great respect and reverence. The leader looked somber, however, and the apprentice flattened his ears as he considered what could be on his mind. Naturally, all was likely to be revealed in the next few moments as the meeting progressed. He did not know of Maplestream's death yet, but for him it was likely to be an event worthy celebrating - if it got him what he so desperately wanted, of course. He had craved the position of medicine cat apprentice ever since he had joined the Clan, and his mind had been rocked by jealousy and spite over his apparent, unwanted future as a warrior. His fate, however, could have been about to change.

Owlpaw also addressed Rainpaw's quizzical question. After seeing the lake so.. dry.. It was a concern that they could not keep at the back of their minds for long. His mind mentally agreeing with Mintwhisper's faith of words. Spotted audits flicking to the sound of Terrastar's booming bellow. He wanted to participate in the array of gathered cats. Only to be slightly disappointed when Mintwhisper kindly asked for him to escort Rainpaw to get aid. " Okay." He mewed, still guiding Rainpaw as Mintwhisper left her other flank. The two apprentices passed and weaved behind the gathering to cause as less interception as possible. His attention drawn to Terrastar like glue, but he would eventually receive information if he missed anything from another cat. " The sooner you rest, the quicker you will recover." Owlpaw mewed to Rainpaw, throwing a nod to Oakpaw as they passed him and entered the medicine cat den not knowing that Snowcloud was not there.

Rainpaw nodded at Mintwhisper and let herslf be guided by Owlpaw. She was a bit disappointed she’d miss out on the meeting, but she was certain they’d be able to hear from the medicine cat den if they stayed towards the front. She smiled at Owlpaw’s words and mirrored his nod to a Owlpaw, responding, “Of course, I’m sure it’ll heal right up!”

As they entered the den, Rainpaw noticed Snowcloud wasn’t present.

“Huh, I guess she’s not here,” she pointed out, finding that the scent was beginning to go stale. She seemed to have been gone for awhile. Maybe she was picking up herbs?

“She'll probably be back soon, but in the meantime we can listen to the meeting in we stand near the entrance,” she proposed to Owlpaw.

Owlpaw looked around the medicine cat den for any signs of life or movement. Stormcloud’s scent was growing stale for sure. He subsided in agreement that maybe she did go out for herbs or other necessities. He was not sure how long that took or if it was an all day practice. Either way there wasn’t a need for a rush since the gash didn’t seem too concerning.

“ At least start cleaning it while we listen. “ He purred, helping the apprentice find a cosy spot to sit in comfort near the entrance. Beams of light peeking freely in the newly provided shade. Tuned ears straining to hear for the gathered meeting, but Terrastar had a loud announciation. It would not be hard to hear what he has to say today. It did not occur to him that Rainpaw was almost ready to be a warrior, for she was older than him.

Terrastar looked over the camp as he saw cats starting to gather. He noticed Rainpaw come in with an injury, lashing his tail in annoyance that they had no medicine cat in camp. He took a deep breath to calm himself again, deciding to address his clan as was. He knew that Tatteredjaw and Birchheart were busy, and silently wished them luck on their mission. He turned his attention back to the cats present, his gaze falling on Oakpaw. He quickly made his decision and opened his mouth to speak. "Cats of Terraclan! I bring horrible news from the recent fire close to the island in the lake." He started, letting his brown eyes glide over the gathered cats. "Maplestream has died, he burned to death before the twolegs could put the fire out. Snowcloud has gone with Rubypaw of Aetherclan to Dreampool, for what I don't know." He continued, his gaze stopping on Oakpaw. "Oakpaw is now a medicine cat apprentice, he will take care of you and heal you." He straightened himself up. "In other news, the lake has dried up, I need a patrol to look for a water source. Do I have any volunteers?"

Mintwhisper sat at the edge of her gathered clanmates listening attentively at what Terrastar has to say. Her eyes widened when she heard that Mapplestream had passed in such a horrible way, his yell faintly echoing in her memory. She shook the thought away and raised her head to listen to the rest of Terrastar’s speech, worry pricking at her pelt when she realized that they didn’t have any medicine cats in camp then. However that worry was short lived as Oakpaw was announced the new medicine cat apprentice.

Although the circumstances of Oakpaw’s new apprenticeship were sorrowful at least Terraclan would have one healer at camp. Rainpaw would be okay... but did Oakpaw even know anything about herbs yet? Mintwhisper frowned at herself, have a little faith in the young cat!

The deep red she-cat sat quietly through the rest of the meeting, thoughts churning inside her head. Her ears pricked and she sat up straighter when she heard of the quest to find a new water source. That’s right, the lake had dried up rather quickly. She may have just gotten back to camp but the white vitiligo warrior was determined to help her clan. Rising to her paws she summoned up some courage to speak in front of her clan, “I volunteer to look for a water source.” She called out, wondering who else might join her.
