Loudclan - Moon 24

Kingpaw is honored for his valiance while fighting the eagle last moon, earning the name Kingfur. His sisters are reasonably jealous.

After a conversation with Siltsplash Chickadeeblur has realised that they no longer identify as a tom.

While assessing Cavekit for his apprenticeship, the healers discover that he was born with a twisted leg.

Regardless, Cavepaw is apprenticed to Siltsplash.

[Another apprentice! Because apparently Silt does not know the meaning of "taking a break". Wanted to take this calmer moon to practice some simple shading and backgrounds before we get into the events of the next year.]

Tumbleswoop’s (36) broken leg isn’t getting any better.  In fact, it’s festering.  Echomoor (28) takes a long walk, deep in thought about ways he could help his loved one.  Meanwhile, Streamhiss (18) comes out as a trans she-cat.  You go, girl!  Rootwing (14) goes on his first solo mediation mission to RaccoonClan to solve some border disputes.  But he only makes them worse.  Oof.  Creekstar is not very popular with the newer members of the Clan.  Orioleclover (13) feels like she never does anything helpful, Hopgrowl (270) thinks she isn’t very considerate of others, and Cavekit (5) sticks out his tongue at her.  Oof (x2).  Rubbleheart (43) overhears Creekstar complaining about him behind his back.  He doesn’t appreciate it.  His game of hide and seek was very important.  More important than hunting, even. Skipneedle is amazed at how long Hopgrowl has survived and feels a deep respect for the elder.  Sweet Marmalade (32) is happy to be healthy and makes sure to always check in on his Clanmates.  Shinebreak (22) and Brightmouse (22) are still enjoying the mated life.  Shinebreak purrs for a long time at one of Brightmouse’s lame jokes.  Blizzardpaw (10) is impatient to be a warrior and gets in a spat with Skipneedle (22) over a piece of fresh-kill.

Second potats??

! WARNING, THIS POST CONTAINS BLOOD AND SICKNESS !

Dahliawhatcher turned around as she heard the kittypet they found couch. "I'll check up on you in just a second, don't worry." She said "Who's kittens are those?" The brown tom asked. "Well, we found yesterday, their mother died" Dahliawhatcher explained. "Could you describe the mother perhaps?" He replied. The medicine cat looked confused for a while but replied anyways. "Are you looking for someone Baobei, that's your name right?" Baobei nodded. "What did their mother look like?" He asked once again. "If it helps you" Dahliawhatcher said. "It was an orange tabby, they had blue eyes" Baobei suddenly sat up. "I'm their father..." He weakely said. "I'm so sorry." The medicine cat tried to comfort the sad tom. "Are you couching up blood?" Dahliawhatcher suddenly paniced, when the kittypet looked at her, confused she explained; "I'm afraid you have redcough, a sickness that takes many cats lives within a moon..."

I'm going to have to focus on school from now on, I will be posting once every weekend (I'll try) instead of every two days.

Sorry it's taking a moment for moons ! Here's clangen art I did for artfight ! All of these blogs are super cool you should give them a look

[skyyclan]

Thank you! <3

I'd absolutely love to hear more about your story, please tell more! I'm personally intrigued about a couple details... During the 2nd or 3rd loop, what did Slatewind think was happening? How aware was she at the start of the loops that they were true timeloops? And how much did she change during them, trying to figure out what to do, like did she try to keep to doing the same things with minor differences or did she end up doing a lot of things differently each time?

(Skyyclan here!) You and Slatewind put up a good fight in that poll, it was neck and neck the whole time! I thought for sure Slate would pull through in the end, I didn't expect to win against the arguably way cooler Timeloop protagonist, like that's such a cool story trope to use in a a Warriors story???

If there's anywhere I can read more about Slatewind, I'd love to check it out! :Dc

GG! Your guy is honestly really cool too :D

Slatewind's choice is a very far distance future thing (I have a massive non-warriors project to do!) buuut I would love to talk about it if you have questions :D

Have the nephew mentioned in slates blurb

[guppyroar]

Sturgeonshiver

Early Life:

Sturgeonkit is born into a Ridgeclan during a bountiful Newleaf. She spends a lot of time with her parents, who encourage her and her brother to be good warriors. Early on, her brother, Cavekit, becomes her biggest rival. They spend hours play-fighting and chasing each other around the camp, often underfoot of their elders.

Apprenticeship:

After their apprentice ceremony, Softclaw encourages Sturgeonpaw.

"I know change is hard, but no matter what happens you will always be my baby," she purrs, pressing against Sturgeonpaw.

Sturgeonpaw's mentor, Bogprance, seems to be the laughingstock of the clan. The other cats snicker at them as her mentor struggles to demonstrate proper hunting techniques. Shame prickles Sturgeonpaw's chest and her tails whip around her wildly.

Somehow she still makes enough progress that Kestrelstar allows her to come to the next Gathering. That night after meeting so many new cats, each putting on strong faces to their opposing clans, Sturgeonpaw dreams of her ancestors. Their voices are unclear other than their warning tones, and when she wakes in the apprentice's den her fur is damp with sweat.

She leaves the den, her brother sleeping in his messy nest, and sneaks past the warriors on guard. Outside the overhanging rocks of camp, she can see the moon clearly. A cold breeze tugs at her fur.

A sound behind her makes her spin, and there, ready to pounce on her, is her brother.

"Cavepaw!" she admonishes. He laughs and brushes their sides against each other. "You thought I was asleep."

Something about the way she looks must tip him off. His smile drops and he presses comfortingly against her side.

"Everything alright sis?"

She frowns out over the territory. "I'm not sure."

Her dreams are persistent, and Cavepaw starts having some too. He says that his are always about her, that he can never help her. There is something odd about the way he says it and Strugeonpaw begins to notice other things about her brother.

He dissects his freshkill before he eats it. Carefully removing organs from bones from muscles.

When Kestrelstar finally calls her up on the Warrior's rock and names her Sturgeonshiver, she's surprised to see her brother frowning at her rather than cheering with their parents.

Young Warrior:

Any concerns she has are soon put to the wayside. In the span of a couple days, Cavepaw is made a warrior, now Caveecho, and Nutdew is killed by a band of trespassing rogues.

Sturgeonshiver and Caveecho stick close together on patrols, eyes scanning the borders warily. When they get back to the clan they seek out their father, who is devastated and listless from the death of one of his closest friends.

The clan and Cypressclaw recover slowly, but constant border patrols are impossible to maintain especially considering the threat disappeared as soon as it arrived.

Moons pass and Caveecho begins to spend less time with Sturgeonshiver and more and more with Perchstep. The former loner is ominous and sneaky, often slipping out of camp in the dead of night. But Kestrelstar thinks she's a good warrior, so Sturgeonshiver's concerns are put to the side.

Sturgeonshiver worries when her brother returns from patrols with Perchstep with new scratches. Neither Caveecho or her parents give it any mind.

Kestrelstar welcomes another strange cat into the territory before Strugeonshiver has the chance to really talk to Caveecho about it.

The new stranger is a former kittypet, with an intriguing purple coat and light-colored tails. He is renamed Eagledaze by Kestrelstar, who encourages the warriors to help bring his training up to Ridgeclan standards.

Sturgeonshiver is surprised when Swallowwind approaches her specifically to take charge of this training. She accepts the task excitedly, ready to prove herself to her clan.

Eagledaze is nosy and loud and not particularly good at hunting. He is always suggesting Sturgeonshiver approach Hemlockpelt despite her lack of interest. Sturgeonshiver can feel the weight of her clanmates' eyes when they return to camp with paltry prey after another failed hunting patrol.

She pulls Eagledaze aside, baring her teeth slightly "You are embarrassing me."

"Then maybe you should ask Hemlock-"

"No." Sturgeonshiver growls. "I am not intrested in Hemlockpelt. I am a warrior. I am the strength of Ridgeclan."

She takes a menacing step forward, her ears pinning against her head. "If you don't straighten up and prove that you can really represent Ridgeclan, I will encourage Kestrelstar to return you to whatever Twoleg hole you came from. You are too used to the gossip and comfort of kittypet life and drain our clan's resources."

Eagledaze goes quiet, his head lowers slowly tails drooping, "Right. Sorry, Sturgeonshiver."

Family Matters:

There's another rogue strike, this time right outside of camp. Perchstep's calls for help ring through camp, waking everyone from their slumbers.

Sturgeonshiver and Cozyclaw blink at each other in confusion as the other warriors groan and wake around them. 

“What?” 

Suddenly Cozyclaw stiffens, “Caveecho was on moonhigh patrol.”

The two of them scurry out of the den to the edge of the rock overhang.

Outside, craneing over the cliff edge is Caveecho. His pupils are dilated, and his chest is dark and sticky. He leans heavily on Sturgeonshiver when she approaches, shaking as his legs nearly give out from under him. Kestrelstar and Swallowwind don't seem to notice, continuing their interrogation about what happened even as Sturgeonshiver begins to guide her brother to the medicine den. 

“Stop.” Cozyclaw growls as the leader and deputy make to follow. 

“We need to-”

“I think some of your questions can be answered by the bodies at the bottom of the cliff and the rest can be answered when my son- When your warrior is well enough to stand and speak on his own.”

Cozyclaw stands taller between them, fixing Kestrelstar with a fierce stare. The leader pauses, then spins around, taking off down the rocky path away from camp. 

When Caveecho is settled and Hazelheart has assured Sturgeonshiver and their parents that he will be alright, they leave the medicine den. 

The rest of the clan is gathered around Perchstep in the center of camp but as they approach, a paw catches Sturgenshiver's shoulder.

It’s Eagledaze, his tails held low, one nearly flat against his stomach. Sturgeonshiver blinks in confusion as the warrior gestures for her to follow. They slip into one of the crevices behind the warrior's den, the sounds of the discussion in camp fading to whispers. Finally, Eagledaze turns to Sturgeonshiver. 

He looks even more terrified now, ears held low and almost shaking. 

“What happened?”

“I-” Eagledaze swallows. 

“I just wanted to practice my hunting and I-” He stops speaking, eyes flashing past Sturgeonshiver back the way they came. 

Sturgeonshiver frowns and turns. There's no one behind them, everyone else is probably busy fortifying the base and organizing more patrols to ensure the safety of their territory. 

“You were outside when it happened?” 

“Yes, I was coming back up the path and-” he gasps, suddenly jerking away for Sturgeonshiver. 

“What did you see?” Sturgeonshiver pushes forward, their noses nearly pressing together as Eagledaze shakes. 

“Caveecho and Perchstep-” he sucks in a breath and meets Sturgeonshiver's eyes. 

“I saw Caveecho and Perchstep kill Heronleaf.”

“Liar! Heronleaf isn’t dead!” Sturgeonshiver growls pushing Eagledaze further against the cave wall. But even cowering against the cold rock Eagledaze keeps eye contact. 

“He is. They killed him and threw him-”

Sturgeonshiver leaves before Eagledaze can finish, bolting back into camp. Her eyes scan over her clanmates. Cozyclaw is talking to Kestrelstar and Swallowwind near the edge of the group. She dodges through her clanmates to get to them.

“Kestrelstar!” their leader tilts her head toward her. “Where is Heronleaf?” Sturgeonshiver asks breathlessly.

Swallowwind winces but Kestrelstar doesn’t waver. “He was on the moonhigh patrol. We found his body at the bottom.”

“And the rogue?”

“There wasn’t a second body.”

Sturgeonshiver swallows, her eyes flicker toward Perchstep. The she-cat is almost preening as she describes what happened to a crowd of their clanmates. Their eyes meet and Sturgeonshiver looks away, fur on her back bristling.

Eagledaze and Sturgeonshiver try to make sure that no one is alone with Caveecho and Perchstep after that. It’s hard, both Caveecho and Perchstep are distinguished warriors. They often choose each other when one is given the role of patrol leader and Eagledaze is terrified of going with them alone. 

So Sturgeonshiver ends up on patrols with them instead. It’s hard to keep focus on watching them when half of the time they are playing like lovesick kittens. They play it up for her, leaning into each other and entwining tails when they are supposed to be focused on maintaining the border.

But it's the other half of the time that forces Sturgeonshiver to continue. Perchstep has an intense disregard for the borderlines between the clans. She often steps over the border, at first just barely a paw before turning to check if Sturgeonshiver looking, then weaving in and out of Ridgeclan territory almost teasingly. Caveecho isn’t as blatant with his trespassing, but he doesn’t raise a whicker at Perchstep’s misbehavior and when Sturgeonshiver confronts them he blows it off.

“C’mon sis, if they were upset about it they would have clearer marks.” 

The worst offenses are at the Mottleclan border. There’s a creek that forms a natural borderline between the two clans. At some point, long before Sturgeonshiver was born, Ridgeclan and Mottleclan agreed that the creekbed would remain unclaimed between them.

This is a boon when the snow melts off the mountain, and the creek runs high in its banks. No cats have to cross the rushing water to maintain a borderline.

Ridgeclan has maintained its border on the high bank for as long as  Sturgeonshiver could remember. She had only ever seen cats in the creekbed a handful of times, usually, medicine cats gathering herbs. On one memorable occasion when she was patrolling as an apprentice she had run into a couple of Mottleclan apprentices fishing in one of the pools. 

Patrols with Perchstep and Caveecho are different. In the cold of Leafbare, the pools zre frozen over and the creek is a pathetic dribble. The warriors take advantage of this. They climb down into the creekbed and then up onto the opposite bank, looking over their shoulders at Sturgeonshiver.

“You coming?” Caveecho calls.

“That’s not our territory,” Sturgeonshiver growls. Her eyes meet Cavecho’s and he shrugs.

“There was a badger on our side once,” Perchstep’s tail twitches and her eyes bore holes into Sturgeonshiver’s pelt.

“That doesn’t mean you can trespass-”

“We can do the patrol alone then.” Perchstep turns and begins to walk along the bank. Caveecho tilts his head slightly, still inviting, but when Sturgeonshiver doesn’t cross the borderline he turns and follows after his mate. 

Alone, stood over the frozen creek Sturgeonshiver waits. It was a prank surely, any minute Cavecho would reappear. Maybe Eagledaze would pop out of the bushes too, tell her that he had been wrong and that her brother hadn’t killed Heronfern. It was all just a prank.

A bird call breaks the cold winter air. Sturgenshiver heads back to camp.

She tells Swallowwind about the trespassing, fully prepared to spill everything Eagledaze had told her as well. But the deputy just shakes his head, “I doubt that Sturgeonshiver. Caveecho always took borders very seriously.

“But Perchstep-”

“Perchstep is a good cat. Just because someone came from out of the clan doesn’t mean you can accuse them of things willy-nilly.” his tail begins to whip behind him. “Trespassing is a serious accusation, you can’t just throw it around.”

Sturgeonshiver growls, but before she can defend herself the deputy turns and walks towards a group of warriors gathered around the bare freshkill pile.

Sturgeonshiver isn’t particularly surprised when tensions between Ridgeclan and Mottleclan are high at the next gathering. Luckily the growing warmth of Newleaf effectively splits the two clans for a multiple moon period. During this time Perchstep has kittens, though it’s clear that she doesn’t like staying in the nursery. She returns to patrols as soon as she can, much to the disapproval of Hazelheart. 

Then, almost as soon as the creek becomes crossable again, though the water still rushes around the rock pathways, Hazelheart is found dead on the Mottleclan border. 

The next moons are tense and confusing. A rumor spreads through Ridgeclan, that all of the recent deaths, even Heronleaf who died so close to camp, were caused by Mottleclan warriors. 

Patrols on the creek become more frequent and so do skirmishes. Without proper medicine cat Ridgeclan’s warriors struggle to recover from the fights on the Mottleclan border.

Caveecho and Prechstep return with more scratches nearly every day, but both of them grin and bluster. The only time Perchstep spends in the nursery is when she is telling stories of her conquest and teaching her kits how to unsheathe their claws. 

Sturgeonshiver joins them on patrol late one moon. The Gathering is just a couple of days away and Kestrelstar had urged the patrols to be more careful, that preparing for the Gathering made them a better target. 

Once again, Perchstep and Caveecho cross over the borderline. 

“Wait!” Sturgeonshicer calls after them.

They don’t stop, jumping from rock to rock of rushing white water. They both reach the other side safely but as soon as their paws touch the top of the bank they are pounced on. 

There are four Mottleclan cats, including the clan’s big gray deputy. Caveecho is completely pinned by one of the warriors and wriggles frantically as their claws dig into him. Perchstep had managed to avoid being pinned but is now facing the other two warriors, who circle around her jeering. 

Sturgeonshiver lets out a growl and slides down the bank. Her claws click against the first rock as she jumps on it, barely pausing before jumping to the next one. 

The deputy moves to block her path. He stands menacingly on the bank between her and her brother, yellow eyes watching her movements. 

She almost makes it. Her paw slips on the second to last rock. There’s a brief moment where she has enough time to realize what’s happening before her body hits the water. Her eyes widen in terror, claws slipping off the rock, she lets out an involuntary yowl. 

Water crashes over her, slamming her body into passing rocks. She struggles to paddle to the surface, barely pulling a breath before the water tugs her back under. Her body careens into a rock and her entire right side lights up with pain. Blackness lingers at the edge of her vision, she can’t reach the surface before her lungs force her mouth open. She chokes, paws scrambling uselessly against the pebble creekbed.

Then something grabs her by the scruff. She can see dark paws, almost like a shadow of her own, shoving off the bottom. She can feel the rush of water as they suddenly reenter the current, but this time it doesn’t push her down. Her head breaks water and she coughs and struggles. 

The cat behind her growls as the water pushes them into another outcropping of rocks. But this time they don’t go under, and once they pass it the current dies down, the creek widening into a pool. 

Sturgeonshiver tries to help paddle but in the end the other cat has to drag her up onto the pebble shore. 

She blinks up at the yellow eyes of the Mottleclan deputy. He’s still big with all of his fur plastered to his body, but certainly not as menacing. She struggles to get to her feet but a sharp pain in her right hind leg causes her to fall back to the ground, still coughing and spluttering. 

“Stay here,” the deputy growls then he runs up the bank and back upriver.

Sturgeonshiver couldn’t move if she tried.  

She wakes up in the medicine den, horribly sore and exhausted. 

“Careful.” 

Sturgeonshiver’s head jerks up. Sitting nearby, pawing through a pile of herbs is a Mottleclan medicine cat with fluffy blue-tinted fur and a set of soft yellow wings. 

“What?”

The medicine cat's ears twitch to the side at Sturgeonshiver’s confusion.

“I’m Riftpaw. Erminestar is “lending” me to Ridgeclan as part of the treaty.”

“Oh.” Sturgeonshiver settles back into her nest, “The war is over?”

“Yeah.” Riftpaw pauses “Um, I’m probably not the best cat to explain. I can go get Kestrelstar after I look at your leg?”

“Yeah, ok.” Sturgeonshiver agrees. There’s something odd about the den. The astringent smell of herbs is normal and the addition Mottleclan scent is explainable. Her eyes settle on the empty nests nearby as Riftpaw is finishing reapplying salve to her wounds. 

“Where’s Caveecho?”

The apprentice winces, “I’ll go get Kestrelstar now.”

A/N: I'm tired of writing so I think I'm just gonna play through the rest of this gen without further story for now. Long story short Caveecho died, Perchstep was exiled. Also, Sturgeonshiver has permanent weakness his her right hind leg due to it breaking.

Recovery and Growth

A/N: So I have some fun ideas for this section, mostly revolving around sibling grief. Specifically around Caveecho's jealousy and how Sturgeonshiver's success impacted his progression. Sturgeonshiver moves her nest away from its previous place between Softclaw's and Caveecho's to next to Eagledaze and Lavenderholly. I'm not really sure how I'm going to write Eagledaze and Sturgeonshiver deciding to become mates so I probably won't Another part of this section is Sturgeonshiver becoming a mother. First adopting her brother's kits after his death and the exile of their mother. Then having her own kits. There is more writing about grief to be had in this section because Softclaw dies around this time and so do two of the kits. Mostly comparisons between Sturgeonshiver as a mother and Softclaw as a mother. Pride as her and her brother's kits become warriors and worry about the kits that struggle more. Especially considering some of her guilt about how Caveecho turned out.

Retirement

A/N: We are currently at Moon 147 lmao, between last update and now Sturgeonshiver has outlasted three mates (Eagledaze, Luckhope, and Streak) and her father, had 9 kits, and survived another war with Mottleclan. Her current mate is Rockypatch and together they have had 5 kits so far. Sturgeonshiver was forced into retirement soon after her 120th moon. She spent some time in the elder's den before having another litter of kittens, at which point she permanently moved into the nursery and became a queen. She died in an avalanche (?) on Moon 167.

Loudclan - Moon 20:

An abandoned kit named Cavekit is brought back to camp. He is a 2 moon old noisy tom. Weed decides to adopt him as her own.

Eklutna announces that she’s expecting kits!

[Yay? I mean, more babies is always good but… ya know… the possibly dying part isn’t really ideal. Oh well, guess we’ll just have to wait to see who’s right. Apologies for being slow with asks, really struggling with drawing right now. Don’t worry, I’ll get through them at some point! Before anyone sends in an ask about it: “unknown parents” are turned on, so the father isn’t definitively someone in the clan, but it also isn’t someone definitively outside of the clan either as “affairs” are always on. Also “pregnancy ignores biology” is turned off if that helps to narrow it down for those who suspect an in-clan father.]
