Thank you so much to everyone who participated in this year’s gift exchange! As always, your creations were absolutely wonderful and you never fail to blow me away with your talent and creativity! To find your name in...
Okay, so this post is a little later than what I would’ve wanted, but I’ve had a busy week 😛 I’m also a little tired, so, only one cat pic this time 😛 You’re getting plenty from Cadvent, anyway...
The seventh edition of the Blog Monthly is here – written by Lil, fresh off the printing press Hello, everyone!! The Blog Monthly is back and better than ever! I hope you all love this edition, in my opinion it is one...
Sliverthorn argues why Ashfur would’ve been better for Squirrelflight than Brambleclaw.
“We need to send a team, small enough so no one notices us, and we will get Seakit back,” Hollystar said, “Splashpool, you will be on this team, and I am hoping Emberstream is able to, the clan can take care of her kits.”
Emberstream glanced at where her kits were, “I can go.” She meowed confidently, “The kits will be done.”
Marshkit perked up, “What’s going on?” He asked confused, “Where’s mum going?”
(I have no clue what’s going on so Imma just kinda do this)
Flareheart and Moonfall were sitting together, Moonfall was laughing while Flareheart smiled.
“How many lives do you think Hollystar has left?” Whispered Flareheart to her sister.
“Probably just one, It’s about time we get a new leader anyways” Replied Moonfall.
Leafkit bounced over to the cats, oblivious to the solum aura around camp, “Hi! I’m Leaf!” He meowed happily, spinning in a circle, “What’s your name?”
“Flareheart, this here is Moonfall,” she said to leaf.
“Where’s your mother, I’m sure she’s looking for you,” said Moonfall trying to get rid of the kit.
Leafkit stopped hopping and looked around, “she’s over there.” He meowed, pointing to Emberstream, “she isn’t looking. What are you doing?” He asked, not sensing that they wanted to get rid of him. “My mum says that the other group of cats were mean, and that you should never turn down kits.” He rambled on, “She thinks that those cats were wrong and silly and all twisted for trying to hurt us”
~Flareheart~
The she-cat stood up, followed by her sister.
“you should go somewhere safe, We already had seakit stolen from us, and we need to get ready to invade.” she meowed then headed to the forest.
~Moonfall~
“THANK THE NIGHT” muttered the she-cat as she followed her sister, speeding up to walk beside the tortoiseshell,
“That kit was SO annoying,” she said,
“Shut up, It’s only a kit” scolded Flareheart.
“Yes, but can you imagine that annoying soul being a warrior” She hissed.
“Just drop it Moonfall, we need to practise our battle training” snapped Flareheart, which didn’t faze Moonfall, she was used to getting snapped at by her sister.
“Yeah!” Blackkit agreed, running up to Leafkit, “You wanna play moss-ball, Leafkit?” Blackkit chirped, trying to handle without his sister
Leafkit nodded happily and batted the moss to Blackkit, “Where’s Marshkit?” He asked, looking for his adventures sister. “She loved mossball, and is the best at it.”
Marshkit darted over when she saw the moss and smiled, “Are you guys playing mossball?” She asked eagerly, not waiting for a reply, “Can I play with you?”
(rude) 🙂
(I didn’t mean to offend u it’s just the character, your amazing polar)
(idc, I was joking when I said rude :))
hiya! so i submitted my characters, they’re being moderated rn!)
~Blackstorm~
He trotted into camp, both him and Redfern holding prey, they dropped it in the prey pile. He got up and looked around.. grabbing a leaf and placing it in front of Redfern. Another gift.
Marshkit continued backing away from Blackkit’s mourning and accidentally bumped into Blackstorm. “Sorry!” She squeaked, looking up at the warrior, “Who’re you?”
~Redfern~
“He is Blackstorm, I am Redfern.. Are you alright?”
She crouched down, her voice was muffled due to her holding the leaf Blackstorm gave her. Blackstorm looked down at the kit, he was awkward around them, often seeming scary to them.
Marshkit nodded slowly, “I’m ok. But Blackkit is sad.” She meowed unhappily, “the other cats took his sister and his mummy is sick.” She glanced at the other kit, “His sister was fun to play with.” She pouted sadly, “why did they take her? She can’t do anything to help them.” She stared at her paws, lost in thought
~Redfern~
“They’re.. what? What?! A kit was taken?! This is.. Blackstorm.”
Her brother looked at her.
“Go talk to Hollystar..”
He nodded, getting up and padding over to where Hollystar was
She then nudged Marshkit, licking her head.
“Can you lead me to Blackkit, little one?”
~Blackstorm~
“Hollystar.. May we speak?”
He and Redfern, had a few friends who could aid Hollystar. He felt uncomfortable being away from his sister, due to them barely being separated, but he knew it was for the best.
“Yeah… of course!” Hollystar said, “what’s up?”
~Blackstorm~
“Redfern and I request we either go alone, or aid you in some way, to retrieve Seakit. We might of some use.. and knowing Redfern, if she can find the culprits, she’ll have their fur for bed-lining..”
“All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Shineleaf for a clan meeting,” Hollystar said, “We welcome a few new cats, Flareheart, Moonfall, Featherfall, Willowstrike, Lostshadow, Redfern, and Blackstorm. Featherfall has informed me that he knows herbs, so he is the new medicine cat! One of these other cats will become deputy, but I need to know them better first!”
(don’t worry, it will still be Willowstrike)
oop- i was gonna have them be backup that redfern and blackstorm introduce u too but okay!)
~Willowstrike~
He was grooming his fur, looking at his mate. They had heard of the war going on, and decided to join Hollyclan.. Jack- no.Featherfall was his name now. DP’s was Lostshadow, and he was Willowstrike.. This was all so new to him. He sighed, and got up. Checking the prey pile. Barely full.
“Alright, I’m taking D- I mean Lostshadow, Redfern, Blackstorm, and any cat who want’s to come with on a hunt..”
“Featherfall, please go check on Wavepool,” Hollystar said, her eyes clouded with worry, “She got attacked protecting Seakit. Now that we have new warriors, we will attack MothClan just to get Seakit.”
Wavepool yelped as she felt Emberstream and Splashpool help her into the medicine cat den, Blackkit wailed, not knowing what to do without his sister, he had always followed her around
~Featherfall~
“Alright.. Set her down right there..”
It was a small mossy bed he had quickly crafted. Once they set her down, he started to inspect her wounds.
~Redfern~
“Hey little one..”
She gently approached Blackkit
“It’s okay.. Would you like to lie down? Or hear a story? You’re sister will be okay, I promise.”
Hazelkit tentivly walked into the med. Den and started messing with the herbs, “I know this one!” He shouted unexpectedly, staring at a tansy stalk, “Mummy used this when Marshkit got chased by a fox!” He sniffed it and looked up at Featherfall, “Mummy says it helps when you’ve had a big scare.” He meowed innocently with a big goofy smile. “Marshkit went into the fox den because she thought no one was home. She was wrong and mummy had to rescue her.”
~Featherfall~
“Good job! Its also used to stop coughing.. Could you grab me some cobweb?Its that sticky stuff..”
~Redfern~
She watched Blackkit run off, her tail twitching slightly.. He was okay now
Hazelkit nodded enthusiastically and dashed off to grab the cobwebs, “Is this it?” He asked, paw covered with the sticky webs
~Featherfall~
“Yes! Great job! Wavepool, hold still..”
He started to apply cobweb’s to some wounds
(im sorry if this isnt right- first time playing med cat </3)
Hazelkit watched in amazement as the med cat put on the cobwebs, “What do we do next?” He asked eagerly, looking up at Featherfall
~Featherfall~
“Can you get me that seed? Its a poppy seed, it helps calm nerves, ease pain, and makes cats a bit sleepy..”
“ok!” Hazelkit quickly snatched up a pile of weird seeds, “here you go!” He meowed happily
~Featherfall~
He had Wavepool eat the seeds, sitting up. “Good job, little one. That’s all I need you to do.. Unless you want to learn a bit about herbs?”
Blackkit just purred and rubbed his fur against Redfern, then went to go play mossball with Leafkit.
Snowstripe stalked around the camp, glaring at seemingly nothing.
~Lostshadow~
Unknowingly, He had bumped right into Snowstripe. He looked down at them
“My apologies.. I did not see you there..”
Valley flower walked into camp, flowers clamped in her jaws, they were for the warriors den.It was always so plain.Then screeched when she stepped in a puddle, she screamed and she screamed and she screamed, like she normally does.
(Just if u don’t know Valleyflower has Asperger’s syndrome, idk if cats can actually get it but meh.)
*FORgEt AbOUt tHIs ONe*
*ignore this one.*
Valleyflower sighed, how could she possibly tell her mate she was expecting kits?Would Cloverfield be happy? “He’s never happy…”She muttered under her breath.Valleyflower was already looking quite plump, she’d have to tell him soon…
Blackkit accidentally bumped into Valleyflower, “Oops! Sorry!!”
“So, I have some updates on retrieving Seakit. Blackstorm, Redfern, you wish to go? If so, tomorrow at sunhigh, go get Seakit with Splashpool and Emberstream,” Hollystar said from the Shineleaf. She left and went to go find Emberstream, “Hi, Emberstream? How old are your kits? Wondering when they should be apprentices.”
~Flareheart~
She and her sister had come back to camp after a nice battle practice,
“Moonfall and I can go if you need” meowed, Moonfall glared at her but said nothing.
“No, I think smaller is better. But if one of you want to go, that’s okay,” Hollystar said
Emberstream looked at where the kits were playing, “They are 5 full moons old,” she meowed, eyes not straying from her kits
“Thanks for telling me,” Hollystar said, watching them as they played moss-ball with Blackkit, Marshkit haring after the ball, them all trying to get it first.
Emberstream dipped her head, “Anytime, Waterstar.” She meowed before standing up and going to make sure the kits weren’t playing to rough
~Featherfall~
He left the med den. Mumbling about something, looking around… Was Alex here? No, Willowstrike. He wasn’t. He started to look around at the kits, he adored them. They were so happy.. it reminded him of Willowstrike when he was young.
Hazelkit followed Featherfall out of the den, “How long will the seeds put her to sleep?” He asked curiously, “Will she get better? How long will it take?”
~Featherfall~
“Oh, just for a bit, not too long. And yes, she will, It’ll take quite a while though, in the meantime, you can be my little helper, okay?”
He gently brushed his tail across Hazelkit’s spine
Hazelkit nodded happily, “Ok!” He smiled up at Featherfall, “I can’t wait to help more!” He meowed excitedly. He purred happily as Featherfall brushed his spine with his tail.
Emberstream walked over to Hazelkit and Featherfall, “Honey, do you want to play with your siblings and Blackkit?” She asked, dipping her head at Featherfall.
Hazelkit shook his head, “I’m Featherfall’s helper!” He said, his smile growing bigger, “I’m gonna help make the cats better.”
Emberstream smiled fondly at him, “Well, just stay out of trouble, ok?” She flicked her tail over his ear and walked toward the other kits, occasionally glancing back at him.
~Featherfall~
“You’ll be the best helper! Let me go teach you a few herbs, okay? Then when you’re helping me you know what I need!”
He went back to the med den, waiting for Hazelkit.
Hazelkit bounced up happily and dashed into the den, “What are these?” He asked, staring at bright red death berries. He stumbled away from them as a flood of memories hit him. His father, forced to eat the berries, his mother, heartbroken and taking him away from the body. His siblings, too innocent to realize what had happened. And him, waiting for his father to wake up in vain. He whimpered and tried to get away from the berries, “They killed him,” he whispered, body trembling
~Featherfall~
He quickly rushed over, grabbing his scruff and moving him away, licking the top of his head.
“Hazelkit can you take a few deep breaths for me?”
Hazelkit nodded shakily and started to breath deeply. After he did he looked up at Featherfall with wide, scared eyes. “They killed him,” he whispered. He turned and buried his face into Featherfall’s fur, “They killed him.” He sobbed, “Why? Why?” He tried to stop the relentless memories with no success. “They killed him!” He pressed against Featherfall’s side, trying to find comfort
(Can I just say, I love these two?)~Featherfall~
He wrapped his tail around Hazelkit, licking the top of his head is rhythmic strokes. “Let it all out Hazelkit..” He mumbled softly.
(I agree 😁)
Hazelkit whimpered and stammered, “They- they made him. He didn’t want to, but they said mummy had to suffer.” He took a shaky breath, “the berries killed him. Mum says that it wasn’t the berries, that it was the cats. But- but it was the berries.” He calmed down and curled up beside Featherfall, exchausted by the days excitement.
(THESE TWO ARE SO CUTE WITH EACHOTHER I LOVE THIS!)
~Featherfall~
He gently picked Hazelkit up by his scruff, setting him in his bed, and curling up around Hazelkit
“Well, I’ll make sure nobody touches those berries.. okay? I’ll get rid of them the moment you wake up, you should sleep, little one. I’ll be right here when you awaken.”
(I KNOW, RIGHT???)
Hazelkit murmured sleepily, “Ok, promise?” He fell asleep before hearing Featherfall’s answer, but didn’t care. He knew that he would promise
(Honestly, I’d cry if one of them died-)
~Featherfall~
“I promise..” He stayed in that exact spot for a while, before carefully getting up and heading to find Emberstream.
“Emberstream? Where are you?”
(I would die inside if that happened)
Emberstream heard Featherfall and looked around. After a moment she found him, “Yes? Is Hazelkit alright? He isn’t causing trouble is he? I can go get him if he is, just let me know.” She stammered quickly.
~Featherfall
“No! No! Not at all! He’s a complete sweetheart! Right now he’s asleep”
He looked around.. when he saw nobody was listening he lowered his voice.
“Actually.. It’s about what happened, Hazelkit had seen some death berries and had gone into a panic.. May I know why..?”
Emberstream tensed and stared at her paws, “He just has a very vivid imagination,” she meowed quietly, “his father was forced to eat death berries and he hasn’t forgotten about it.” She looked up, “He has a very good memory, sometimes it’s a skill, but sometimes it’s a curse.” She shook her head. “I’ll talk to him, he should be fine.” Her tone was confident, but her eyes revealed a hidden fear. “Thank you for telling me.” She meowed
~Featherfall~
“You don’t need to talk to him, its fine~”
He didn’t want to get Hazelkit in trouble. He had accidentally grown a small attachment to the kit.
Snowstripe eyed some of the warriors who were wandering around camp. “Hey! You! Get on patrol, we need it.” she beckoned to another warrior.
(feel free to insert yourself. also I asked if she could be dep on character creation page and didn’t get an answer.)
Hi! I can answer the dep question, my character, Willowstrike will be the dep- I had already asked, my apologies!)
~Redfern~
“Hm. Very well, although, have you seen Blackstorm? I would like to patrol with him.”
oh, so sorry, didn’t see that. I accepted someone else to be dep… is that okay?
