ThunderClan Camp

First topic message reminder :

*Scratch was torn. On one hand, he wanted to tell Wind about his past.* On the other hand, he wasn't sure Wind would understand what he'd been through. After pondering the matter for a while, he decided he'd tell Wind about his history.*

Nightowl lifted his head and stood up, he said in a cold tone directly defying hawkpool "i let the other clans know of Mosseys betrayal so they would know her capabilities should they want to take her into their clans". he obviously believed that he had done the right thing. though he trembled from exhaustion.

He nodded adn said in a tired voice "also thought that if she did join their clan she might tell them lies to get them on her side and try to destroy us". he turned and licked Rainwhispers cheek before stepping into his mossy nest and curling up.

A rather loud murr came from the large wolf. his eyes began to slowly close as his breathing slowed as well. his breathing became rhythmic as did alot of his other movements when he was a sleep. you could say the groove was in his soul. his black head rested near rainwhispers paws.

Seeing his mate was sleeping and relexed for now, he gave her ear and muzzle a lick before padding out. He knew chaos was eerywhere, but that was only to be expected. spotting Halkpool, he headed over and n nudged her side. "So everyone's not trusting anyone else." he sighed and looked at his old friend. I hope Firestar can hold the clan together. I love her, but I'm also worried." raising his tone, he called over to feather, "Betray will not happen again so long as we trust each other. Mosi has done wrong, and there is not use crying over it now. What's done is done, and we should start reading ourselves for a possible attack." he looked to nightowl, "I know you're angry, we all are. But this is the times when we should really trust our leader now. We can't see this through if we scater in fear. We can only see it through if we act as a clan, as one." he shrugged at Hawlkpool, "yea, i know how horny that sounded, but I think our wolves needs to hear that. To believe it in their hearts.

(Wow, kinda missed a good bit)

Feathersoul stared into Rainwhisper's eyes for a long time, before she vaugely began to recognise her. At the mention of her Clanmates for the second time, her memories came flooding back, and she stood. She was still shaken from Mosseybreeze's betrayl, but, with her new found knowlage, she knew that they could prevent more tragities. She watched as Rainwhisper padded out, lieing down next to Nightowl. She smiled bitter-sweetly. She was happy for the fae, but she could feel just a twinge of regret. She shook it off, slipping back into the Medicine Den to catch up on her sleep.

Wind watched Feather vanish into her den. He couldn't know how the vanishment of Mosi had affected her. The two females seemed close or at least friendly towards each other. He stretched and lay down on the ground, feeling the snow cool his belly. He closed his eyes, but he didn't sleep. He just found doing this allow him to pay more attention to the going ons around him. Sometimes ears and nose could give him more information than sight ever could.

Copperpaw sat up not sleepy at all, he sparkliy trotted out of the apprentices den and sat down. he wriggled his ears and stared up at the sky. he watched as the stars slowly began to appear. he smiled and frowned a little sadly. he glanced over at Falconpaw and blinked his coppery brown eyes in intrest.

Falconpaw felt the burning of eyes upon his pelt. He turned his head to his right and saw Copperpaw. He saw the slight frown the young wolf had and stood up. He padded over and cocked his head, sitting down right in front of him, no more than five inches away. His manner was playful like, always willing to have fun. Falcon could be seen as a huge furry pup but he knew when to be serious. He looked down at the young apprentice. "You alright, little chap?"

He said in a distant voice "i worry for foxpaw, she hasnt much of a self esteem. She says sorry alot. Shes like a sister to me and i worry for her". he flciked his copper slip of a tail and stared up at the wolf. he was already quite large for an apprentice.

Firestar yawned and woke up, feeling refreshed and renewed. She padded swiftly out of the leader's den and took a look around. Practically everyone was inside their dens, Wind was lying down and Falconpaw and Copperpaw were talking. She sighed and then began to speak, raising her voice so that it could be heard by everyone in camp.

"I know that this awful thing has affected the Clan, our lives and our friends, but there's always a way out. If we let this sort of bad act overwhelm us then we will be in trouble but I won't allow that to happen. I'm sure you all have good hearts and good intentions. ThunderClan has survived many things like this and it's not going to give up now. I'm not going to give up just because Mosseybreeze has done this terrible thing. I will strive to do my duty by StarClan and to be better than that. We can all try to do well and I'm sure we can. Even in the uttermost darkness, a light always manages to shine." Firestar put emphasis on those few words. "I'm sure we're going to be alright." The firey wolf smiled and then turned to her friend Falconpaw. "Falconpaw, could you step forward, please?"

Falconpaw looked at Copperpaw, "don't worry pal. All you gotta do is..." He turned to look at Firestar as she spoke. He smiled, she was doing great. She was being strong, just what te clan needed. Strength in its members not only physically but emotionally and mentally as well. Once she finished he turned back to Copperpaw, "All you..." He turned his head, had he heard right? He stood up and looked at Firestar in slight confusion. He padded up to her. "Yes?" His face was puzzled.

The firey fae smiled at him. "I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Falconpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Shadowpaw opened her eyes and found that she was the only one in the den. She opened her mouth and gave a rather loud yawn. She got up and stretched. She walked out of her den, in time to hear Firestar's speech. She walked over to where Copperpaw was." hey." she said still a little tired.

Falconpaw's eyes widened. She was kidding right? Surely this was a joke. But looking at her, he smilled. Inside he was jumping around like a pup, in total excitement and yet on the outside he remained calm and respectful. "I do." His words were clear. Like a groom on the day of his wedding, Falconpaw stood he was getting married as well, married to his clan in a symoblic way. He smiled.

"Then, by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Falconwing, from this moment you will be known as Falconwing. StarClan honors your courage and ingenuity, and we welcome you as a full member of ThunderClan." She inclined her head to Copperpaw and to Shadowpaw who came up to the little group. "Next time, it might be you", she said and winked at the newly named warrior. "You're a warrior now, Falconwing."

Shadowpaw was so happy for Falconpaw. He deserves this she thought. He is going to be an awesome, strong, and loyal warrior. she laughed at the look of total surprise on Falconpaw's face.

Feathersoul padded out of the Medicine Den just in time to catch the tail end of Firestar's speech. Her tail wagged slowly. "Falconwing! Falconwing!' she called, congratulating the new warrior. More warriors for ThunderClan. Maybe we'll be alright after all...

Nodding to Nightowl,she saw Rain come in,and sleep beside him. She grinned ever so sweetly. Looks like Phoenixfire's got some competition. She then glanced at Wind. She sighed. Then flicked her tail. "I'm fine. It's just I'm a little frustrated about Mossy." She shut her eyes. My own apprentice. She shook it away and stood up. Walking out of the den. She cose her won path. It wasn't my fault. She smiled as Falconpaw,now Flaconwing was made a warrior. She cheered on with the rest.
Hawkpool,then noticed Feather's voice. She turned and saw her peeking out. A new gleam in her eyes. She then blinked. She felt the sky slowly darkening. Her breathes like a white loud.
After the ceremony,she glanced at the tree she had spent time in for a long time. She raced up it climbing up to a frost-bitten nest,she sighed. Then shrugged. "I can just look into the distance. I don't have to sleep." She sat,leaning against the tall old tree. It creaking slowly beneath her paws. Watching the wind blow. And the colors of the horizon fall to a dark deep blue.....

Shadowpaw chanted Falconpaw's new name Falconwing, that name seemed to suit him some how. She walked over to where Falconwing was sitting. " Congratulations on becoming a warrior Falconwing, i know you will be great." she turned to Copperpaw " someday it will be our names that the clan will be chanting."
