Moon 5! Part 1/2

Lil gang has become apprentices! feels so odd to see em grow when you gotta draw em...

Honeystar seems to really like pink. Ooops! forgot the flower on the other one! might make it bigggeeeerrr (next time lol..) Make it easier to see!

---

Mudpaw keeps inviting in cats! This time it is the flamboyant Flaxear!! He does seem a lil sus, but we'll have to see what he gets up to...

---

Brightkit requested a name change, shocking Oats! Brightkit is now Ebonypaw! She seems pretty proud of having the leader as her mentor.

Ebonypaw.female. 6 moons. Warrior apprentice. Mentor: Honeystar. ---

Oddpaw. female. 6 moons. Warrior apprentice. Mentor: Lakefrost. --- Foxpaw.male.6 moons. Mediator apprentice. Mentor: Morningsun

--- Pebblepaw. male. 6 moons. Healer apprentice. Mentor: Bramblehoney. ---- Butterflypaw. female. 6 moons. Healer apprentice. Mentor: Mudpaw/????...

Mudpaw has sort of fallen into a odd mentorship? She is supposed to earn her name, which does allow her to mentor... due to some 'issues' it is postponed-ish.

---

Flawear is now added to the ask list!

Cautionary Tale: ??

Story:

No one knew how he had done it. In the first moon of his reign--Smokestar’s body was barely cold!--five cats went missing. Droughtstar had merely smiled and remarked that they had been sacrificed. He declared Partridgepetal as his deputy, and received his new name that night.

Rumors swirled. Would Droughtstar be even crueler than previous leaders? Queens cradled their kittens close and cried that night.

The pattern continued. Cats were vanishing left and right, and, in the middle of it all was Droughtstar, with a cheshire smile on his face, and Meadowleg at his side.

Even the known murderers of the Clan had to admit that they were terrified. He walked through his Clan with a lethal elegance, and was known for turning ruthless in a heartbeat. The only members of the Clan who were safe from his unpredictable nature were kits and apprentices, who he adored. Even his own kits weren’t safe from sacrifice, and they went missing with startling regularity.

It was noted by many that, even though her kits were presumably being murdered by her mate, Meadowleg never said a word. It was murmured throughout the Clan that the queen had been born without a heart, though no one dared say it in front of her.

It became routine to barricade the walls at night, to say goodbye before goodnight.

Elders complained that they missed the days of Smokestar, who at least had made it known what happened to his victims. These elders were shunned and scolded by the rest of their Clanmates, for, as horrifying as it was to speculate, at the very least, Droughtstar didn’t kill kits. Even when the kits tore at him and pestered him, he never so much as hissed.

When Meadowleg retired, Droughtstar stopped being so diligent in his sacrificial duties, and, eventually, queens stopped the practice of ‘smearing’ their light-coloured kits.

As Droughtstar started to lose lives to old age, he called his son and deputy-- Bluffspeck--forward to hear his last words.

Trying not to cry, Bluffspeck knelt beside his dying father, who whispered to him. “I never killed a soul, y’know. I just exiled them and told them not to come back. Worked to make all you bloodthirsty youngsters think I was killing, but y’know what? When I get to the Place of No Stars, if you make one single sacrifice, I’m going to drag you there with me.”

Bluffspeck mewed in distress, but his father, with his fateful final words, was gone.

Notes:

- old bastard energy

- he and his mate both lost two siblings to Smokestar!
