Terrastar - 40 Moons - Terraclan Leader - Injured, healing - Camp - Mentions: Everyone, Open!

Terrastar purred softly, the sound rumbling through his chest as he gazed fondly at Birchheart. She was adorable when flustered. He gave Oakpaw a few words to get ready, as they would be departing as soon as Rainpaw's ceremony was over. He was glad that his mate understood his need to speak of Maplestream, appreciating her comment on his late friend. He was about to reply to her remark about hunting when Mintwhisper came inside. His whiskers twitched lightly as he heard her speak, her accent capturing his fascination as always. He dipped his head at her, then got up. "The hunting will have to wait, Rainpaw's warrior ceremony will take place now." He declared. With that, he padded out of the den.

The dark brown tom leapt onto the branch hanging above his den, ready to make his announcement. "Cats of Terraclan, gather under the Talltree for a Clan meeting!" He called out. As he gazed across camp, his gaze fell upon the cats ridding their home of the undead cats. His heart slammed hard against his chest as he remembered Maplestream, and he had to take a deep breath. He cleverly disguised is as getting air for his next announcement. "We have not only one, but two apprentices ready to claim their rightful titles amongst us!" He made eye contact with Rainpaw and gestured for her to step forward. He glanced at the medicine den and nodded his head at Oakpaw. "Rainpaw and Oakpaw have both trained hard to learn our ways and while Oakpaw now walks a different path, he is ready to become a full medicine cat. Rainpaw passed her assessment today and will now claim her right as a full warrior of Terraclan." He announced proudly. He leapt down from the branch and walked up to stand in front of Rainpaw. He was much bigger than her, almost towering over her and other warriors. "Do you promise to hunt for this clan and protect it and your clanmates with your life?"

Stonefell - 21 moons - Warrior - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Sootheart, Risingstorm, Addermask, Terrastar, OPEN

Stonefell swiveled her ears around to listen to her leader's words as she rounded around the restrained undead tomcat. As she shook out her paws, the grey shecat turned to regard the two toms and Sootheart, meowing, "Are you ready? I'm not certain we can kill him in just one hit, so he might struggle. Risingstorm, Addermask, keep a good grip on him."

Stopping at Maplestream's head, Stonefell let out a minuscule sigh. It was pitiful seeing the poor medicine cat like this. She only hoped that by killing him again would send him back to his rightful place in the Dark Forest.

With a sharp intake of breath, the small grey shecat rose to her hind legs. As she pounced down, she stiffened her forelegs and splayed her toes out for better coverage. Stonefell winced at the resounding KRAK! of Maplestream's skull, allowing herself one heartbeat of solace for the poor tom before jumping backwards to avoid the gnashing of his gnarled teeth.

"Sootheart, now!" Stonefell hissed, flicking her ears flat against her skull and snarling.

Rainpaw - 12 Moons - Apprentice - Healthy - Camp/Western Territory - Mentions: Oakpaw, Ratpelt, Terrastar

Ratpelt didn’t answer her, and it made her whiskers twitch a bit in annoyance. She figured he thought it was beneath him to listen to a lower ranking cat. But he’s only about a moon older, if even that! She thought to herself before sighing.
“Whatever, just be careful.”
And with that, she padded away.

Rainpaw entered the camp just in time to hear Terrastar call a clan meeting. She rushed to sit below the Talltree, but Terrastar gestured her forward. Her heart pounded in her chest as Terrastar confirmed her and Oakpaw would be getting their official titles. She glanced at the soon to be medicine cat and threw him a nervous but excited smile.

She had almost forgoten how large Terrastar was until he walked to stand in front of her. He was easily a few heads taller than most of the clan. She tilted her head up to meet her leaders eyes and responded confidently, “I do.”

Sootheart - 13 moons - Warrior - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Stonefell, Addermask, Risingstorm, Terrastar, Open


Sootheart blinks in surprise at the toms running off so quickly to pin Maplestream down, but then again, they can't keep putting it off. It needs to get done. Her attention gets caught for a second by Terrastar calling for a meeting, but focuses back on the task at paw.

Following Stonefell closely, Sootheart takes one last long look over Maplestream. Will she end up like this when she dies? She sure hopes not. Muscles tense as she watches the other she land hard on the former medicine cat's head.

Hearing her name makes Sootheart giddy. She is needed and definitely belongs here. She can tell. "Got it!" Mimicking the form Stonefell was in earlier, Sootheart takes in a breath and throws all her weight in her front legs to completely crush the skull underneath her paws. The crunch oddly reminded her of hunting. Is it bad of her that killing another cat doesn't phase her much? She mentally shrugs. Oh well.

Sootheart steps back from the still corpse of Maplestream and looks down at her paws. Gross. Mushy stuff. Disgusted thoughts turn to more interesting thoughts. Like how funny it is that that mush on her paws once contained vast medical knowledge or that no matter how anycat lives, they all become dirt in the end. Its very fascinating to think about.

Remembering that the cat they just re-killed was once a clanmate, Sootheart bows her head in respect. "Sleep well now, Maplestream," she says. No matter whether he is now in the Dark Forest or Starclan or any place in between, she doesn't much care. She just hopes he stays dead this time for the sakes of her clanmates. She can tell it is very hard on them that the medicine cat had come to this state. Speaking of hurting cats, the clan meeting is still going. Sootheart glances up to listen to the ceremony.

Oakpaw - 12 moons - Medicine Cat Apprentice - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Terrastar (ID), Rainpaw, open!

Oakpaw listened to what Terrastar had to say and nodded slowly, trying to contain his excitement. He would not be a lowly apprentice much longer, he would have the title he so very much desired. At the leader's gesture, he turned and began to prepare travelling herbs for the two of them to eat in preparation for the journey to the Dreampool. The young tom turned his back to the other cats in the den. He may have been granted great knowledge just recently, but it didn't stop him still from occasionally being unsure, and definitely being clumsy. Gathering the herbs into little leaf packets was fiddly and he had never done it like this before, and he didn't want any other cat to see him struggling. He had an image to maintain, after all.

It took him a few minutes, gathering sorrel, chamomile, daisy, and oh, some burnet too! Looking at his supply of herbs though, it was starting to get a bit low - he would have to go on his first trip searching for herbs in the near future. Just as he was finishing up, his large ears perked with the sound of Terrastar calling a Clan meeting, for Rainpaw's warrior ceremony, if he remembered right. Hurriedly he took a few dried leaves he had gathered and placed them carefully into his fur - the old ones has fallen out in his scramble to heal their leader earlier.

Once the young tom was satisfied, he padded out of the medicine cat den, settling down below Terrastar to listen to the ceremony. He caught sight of Rainpaw looking at him, saw her nervous but excited smile. It was nice to feel that another apprentice had that same mix of anxiety and excitement as he did when he found out he was going to the Dreampool with Terrastar. He gave the she-cat a wide grin in response, before turning his head back to their leader and puffing out his chest with pride as his name was mentioned. It was with great content that he watched Rainpaw walk up to receive her warrior name - it would soon be him, too.

Owlpaw - 8 Moons - Apprentice- Healthy - Apprentice Den - Mentions: @ Oakpaw, Rainpaw, Terrastar, , Open

His lower mandible shifted so that his canines could merge against each other in some sort of anxiety soothing effort, almost generating a crackling sound. His attention was drawn to their noble leader, Terrastar as his bellow stretched beyond the camp's border walls. It was time for another clan meeting and it was addressing Rainpaw and Oakpaw. The stripped bobbed tom stood and made his wave into the thicket of a crowd. His gaze searching for his two comrades eagerly, repressing the simple matter of the undead that surged amongst them.

His view of the two apprentices where blurred from the taller cats ahead of him. " Excuse me!" He meowed, bringing his thick frame closer and closer to the front, until he was along the first row, Glittering eyes resting on Rainpaw as she was addressed first. He would support the two new warriors as best as he could! As Oakpaw joined her, it soon dawned to him... That his two closest comrades were now leaving him to yearn apprenticeship alone.
He would have to look at them differently from now on. Would they forget about him? The tom wavered his gaze to break from the two forms, darker thoughts of sorrow flushed his mind,

Mintwhisper followed Terrastar out of the medicine cat den intrigued by what he was calling a clan meeting for. She settled by Owlpaw, her head raised upward as Terrastar spoke. Her heart swelled with pride as she heard Rainpaw's name be called as well as Oakpaw, he was working hard for his clan despite being so young. She had to quiet a purr of warmth as Rainpaw took her warrior oath, her green eyes sparkling with excitement. Glancing to her side she frowned when she noticed how Owlpaw seemed to be in a bit of a gloomy mood. "Hey Owlpaw, you okay?" She asked softly. She didn't think he would be jealous of the new warrior and medicine cat, no, maybe it was something else?

Terrastar - 40 Moons - Leader - Injured, healing - Camp, Leaving - Mentions: Everyone, Open!

Terrastar elected to ignore the group ridding the camp of Maplestream's wandering body, it was hard enough to remember he was dead. He held his tail high as he waited for Rainpaw to reply to his question, letting a purr rumble through him as her positive response. "Then, as the founder of this Clan, and the power bestowed to me by the Dark Forest. Rainpaw, from this day, you will be known as Rainblossom." He declared, touching his muzzle to the top of her head. "Terraclan honours your diligence and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior amongst our ranks." He went on. He felt pride rush through his body. Despite all the devastation that had happened, they still had new warriors coming along nicely, and apprentices that were eager to learn. Soon enough he would show that Fernstar what Terraclan was truly made of.

When the cheering and welcomes of Rainblossom as a warrior died down, he turned his gentle gaze to Oakpaw. He gave him a single nod, then looked back to the newly made warrior. "You will guard the camp tonight in a silent vigil, Fernstar attacked me today, so be on the lookout for any of their warriors." He ordered. He dipped his head in a display of respect to her, then made his way over to Birchheart. "I will be going to the Dreampool with Oakpaw now." He informed her. "I know you'll do wonderful leading the Clan in my absence, my love." He purred softly to her and gently rubbed his muzzle against hers. With a wave of his tail, the large tom padded out of camp, assuming that Oakpaw would be at his side soon enough.

Mintwhisper straightened up and joined the clans cheering of the newly named Rainblossom. She couldn't keep the smile off her face as she went to congratulate the new warrior. "Rainblossom's quite a nice name, and you'll be sleeping in the warriors den from now on!" She meowed excitedly when she reached the young she-cat's side. She hadn't had the experience of being an apprentice but she remembered how amazing it was to receive a warrior name when she had joined Terraclan. She purred, the ceremony had to be one of the more uplifting events since, well, the fire she supposed. It was good to see that most seemed to be in a good mood. "I'm proud of you Rainblossom."

Sootheart waves her tail and calls out Rainblossom's name in celebration, happy there is something to be happy about in this time of trouble. There is a new warrior, Oakpaw will become a full medicine cat, Terrastar is alive, and the clan is going to have water soon. Everything is looking up. To think her family tried to talk her out of becoming a wild cat.

The grey warrior blinks and sighs as she glances at Maplestream's body. "Should we set to work burying him?" she asks Stonefell, feeling closer to the other she after this whole situation. Sootheart looks over Risingstorm and Addermask, wondering if they will help with the burial too.

The pondering apprentice felt an uplifted presence delicately caress his side. A small glance in her direction, but her voice had already betrayed the suspicion as well as the accent. His ears perked to address her sudden question, and the apprentice fixed his face and straightened his posture. He shook his head as if lost for words, as this was not the time to express his inner emotions or concerns. He stood as the array of chanting crescendo throughout the crowd, his voice joining among their vibrant air of booming voices. " Rainblossom! Rainblossom!" He yowled, letting excitement nip at his heels. As the crowd died so that Terrastar could declare his orders to the two cats, he managed to catch sight of his mentor Birchheart along the fray. Pulling an awkward ear back unaware of the developed relationship that has blossomed so heavily. Wow, he was really out of it, and not tuned at all. Where had his mind wandered..

As the meeting was dismissed, Owlpaw followed Mintwhisper to congratulate Rainblossom. Although Mintwhisper did majority of the talking, hanging behind her heels as she spoke with the new warrior first. Now it was his turn to speak, although he was aware that Rainblossom could not return the wordy gesture.

He took from his place behind Mintwhisper with a lowered head, glancing sideways at first but a smile tinted his inner corners of framed lips. " Congrats! Rain--- .. Rainblossom." He wanted to smack his face with a twig. A short chuckle letting out his muse. " I'm sorry, it's going to take getting use to. I'm very proud of you." He purred, brushing his face against her shoulder with a swift lick. He didn't let the moment simmer enough before he quickly withdrew as to not let that gesture soak in.After alla, Rainblossom was a warrior now, her time was over for the likes of him. One day, he will join them..

The small grey shecat steadied her breathing and nodded at Sootheart's question, only half paying attention to her. Stonefell couldn't understand why she felt this way—she'd killed plenty of cats before, back when she lived on the streets in Twolegplace, and Maplestream was already dead anyway, so why in Dark Forest's name was her skin crawling?

Snapping out of her thoughts, Stonefell steeled herself and answered Sootheart's proper. "Yes, we should bury him. Afterwards, I'll be leaving with Risingstorm and Addermask to find water.."

Despite her calm voice, Stonefell's bloodied paws still itched anxiously.

Birchheart - 26 Moons - Deputy - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Terrastar, Rainblossom ID, Owlpaw, Open!

Birchheart trotted after Terrastar, and was one of the first to gather for Rainpaw’s warrior ceremony. She watched in awe as Rainpaw received both Terrastar and the Dark Forest’s blessing. She chanted excitedly Rainpaw’s new name, “Rainblossom, Rainblossom, Rainblossom!” Birchheart shouted. She quickly found Owlpaw in the crowd, and touched his head with her muzzle to reassure him that he would soon follow in his friends ranks.

Birchheart trotted up to Rainblossom. “Congratulations, Rainblossom, I know you’ll be a wonderful warrior! Stormstep would be proud.” Birchheart meowed softly. She bowed her head to leave, but was stopped by Terrastar. She nodded her head at her mate’s instructions. “I will carefully watch over the clan, it will be like you never left. I’ll watch for Fernstar and her kiniving clanmates. I’ll make sure they won’t get past the border.” Birchheart assured him, and rubbed him back. As she watched Terrastar walk away, she felt a chill run up her spine, as if a dark part of her past was lingering. She quickly pushed that feeling aside, and waited for the commotion to die down before giving instructions.

Blinking softly, as he felt the light pressure aloft his cranium. Her scent was all too familiar, and his heart ignited like a dying flame that found warmth. He developed a a deeper smile more internal than visual. He glanced to look up at his mentor, also as his deputy, to recognize the reassurance that did not need words to express. It wasn't so bad for now. He will soon join the ranks, and all this empty space will be left for the younger kits. He took a few steps back to let Birchheart get her own personal congrats with Rainblossom listening curiously to Terrastar's direct instructions for his absence.

Enlarged pupils darted to their disappearing leader, feeling his veins constrict. After the previous attack by Fernstar, it troubled him to see Terrastar leave, not to mention with Oakpaw, by themselves. But it had to be done. His nostrils flared in the group's prescence as the noise slowly meandered casually into simple whispers. It was evident that his deputy and mentor had important instructions to deliver, and everyone needed to listen up.

Rainblossom - 13 Moons - Warrior - Healthy - Camp - Mentions: Owlpaw, Mintwhisper, Birchheart, Terrastar

Rainpaw - no, Rainblossom - responded to Terrastar’s muzzle on her head by licking his shoulder. Before she knew it, she was crowded by a few of her fellow clanmates. She smiled at Mintwhisper and Birchheart, excited to finally join the ranks of the warriors. She held on to Birchheart’s comment about Stonestep, and a pang of bittersweet joy spread in her chest. Stonestep was the cat she credited this sweet moment to. The new warrior turned to Owlpaw, finding comfort in the quick lick as she rubbed her head against his. She couldn’t vocallly respond to any of them for now, but she hoped her wide grin was enough to communicate the joy and compassion she felt.

She dipped her head to dismiss herself, trotting over to the camp entrance where she’d be sitting vigil for the night. A relaxed sigh exited her chest. This is nice. It would give her time to think, which she hadn’t been able to do as of late. After the fire and the drought and the warnings from the dead cats, she felt at peace for once. The happy moment with her clanmates eased her enough to assure her that Terraclan would once again be alright. The Darkforest was on their side as showed no sign of leaving them.

Her life seemed to be passing by so quickly. She was a warrior now, and she’d fight for her clan, become a mentor, and maybe even have kits. The last thought brought up some lingering guilt and the feeling that she’d lost a family. Strangely, she could hardly remember her kittypet life, not to mention her mother. The other cats seemed to remember their past lives vividly, but Rainblossom couldn’t seem to remember much before she’d joined Terraclan. A mother seemed so foreign, and she almost felt she’d dishonored her greatly by forgetting the cat who’d brought her into this world. She shook her head to dismiss her thoughts. The she cat’s old life wasn’t something to dwell on. She had a new family now, and she’d do anything to protect them.
