RavenClan- Moon 0

First (You Are Here) | Next (TBA)

Finally managed to figure out how I wanted to draw this moon’s events! Might see some style hiccups as I figure out exactly how I want to do this, but for now, enjoy my fuzzballs!

[warrior-cats-rewritten]

sorry to spam you, but. what happens with scourge in your rewrite? he’s my favorite <3

Please, don't ever apologize for sending lots of asks! I love answering them and they can help me think of things I hadn't thought about before, or flesh an arc out. Send as many as you want, all of you!

Anyways, Scourge, the literal scourge of my brain, because I've had to rewrite him 3 different times.

This little guy has been reworked SO much. The first was to tell the story of a downfall, how sometimes people become worse than the people who hurt them, and pay for it, but showing that there was still 'Tiny' in there, having The Rise Of Scourge end with his spirit, now back to being Tiny, reuniting with Quince, while his older self faded away.

I... Hated the vibe. And I'm probably gonna save THAT kind of ending for someone else...

I then changed it to be somewhat more like Better Bones, but with Scourge remaining leader of Bloodclan.... But that also doesn't line up with the themes of Graystripe's Clan and Ravenpaw's Path, where Fury and Neo Bloodclan come into play.

I didn't wanna kill him. I didn't want him to join Thunderclan. I didn't want him to stay in Bloodclan....

Then, it hit me.

So... Meet the new Scourge. He can say the F word.

Scourge

His story is one about coming back from the brink of no return.

Firestar has noticed something about Scourge. The fur around his neck has rubbed off, his voice is brittle, swallowing is so difficult that he drools a bit, his breathing is shallow, and he's... Painfully underweight. Now, aside from the terrifying thought that is "how strong would this guy be if he WAS properly nourished?", he realizes that even if Scourge manages to make it through this battle, he will most likely not make it to next season.

In a flash, Firestar leaps onto Scourge's back, and sinks his teeth into his scruff and collar. Just like his new deputy Longtail did to him, he begins to pull, hoping and praying that Starclan will grant another miracle.

The collar snaps, just as Scourge is about to pass out, he takes in his first deep breath in ages. Firestar pays for it with his first life.

Swiftpaw, now posthumously named Swiftclaw, is chosen as his first life to lose. He feels the pain and terror and rage and desperation that Swiftclaw did, but he also puts pieces together. Why did this happen? The real why. Not just the dogs getting a taste for cat. Not Tigerstar's seemingly unending thirst for power. Before all that.

This problem is the fault of the Clans. Churning out radicalized youths who will hurt others because of the instilled belief that Might Makes Right. Sure, Scourge has taken things too far, and seems hellbent on revenge, but the seeds of this bloody battle were planted on Clan Land.

Blackfoot, Brokenstar, Leopardstar, Mistfang, Darkstripe, Longtail, even Crookedstar and Nightstar have all fallen victim to this belief at one point of another. Tigerstar was not made in a vacuum. This kind of "kill or be killed" mentality is not making the Clans strong, it is getting cats killed.

He sees another vision of himself fighting Scourge, killing him. But his sight flickers, and it makes him sick. Scourge's build is so much like Princess. His eyes the same shade of blue that Cloudtail has. He sees his own loved ones in the one he is fighting. He is sinking his teeth and claws into his own Kin.

And then, finally, he sees the vision of Tigerpaw being goaded by Thistleclaw to beat Tiny. Then Thistlepaw being rewarded by Adderfang for sparring with a Riverclan apprentice and tearing their ear. Adderfang charging into battle alongside his father, too eager to take a life from Heatherstar Heatherstep. Tigerclaw berating Darkpaw for failing a training exercise. Darkstripe getting his new apprentice Longpaw to eat prey instead of giving it to the sick elder... The vision ending with Longtail touching noses with the newly named Swiftpaw, a line of cats behind him so long it stretches into the shadows, endless kittens behind Swiftpaw, a mentorship doomed before it even began. Generations of cats hurting each other with no end in sight.

Enough is enough.

When he comes back to life, he slams against Scourge, dodging his attack again, and looking around to confirm his worst fears. All of Bloodclan's cats are fully grown. The Clans have brought apprentices. This victory is for the future, to Save The Clans as Fire Alone.

He slams Scourge against the ground, and knocks him out. However, Rooster, a Bloodclan cat, cries out that Scourge has been killed. To be fair to Rooster, Scourge is laying limp at the feet of Lionclan's leader.

While many Bloodclan cats scurry away, some to one day become Neo Bloodclan, Firestar taps the ground to call attention to Snowpaw, using a bit of Body Speaking to silently tell the deaf apprentice to sneak Scourge to camp, grabbing Scourge's torn collar and hiding it for later.

Bloodclan negotiations begin with the cats who stay and will later be seen in Graystripe's Clan.

Meanwhile, Snowpaw drags Scourge through the woods and sneaks him into Cinderpelt's den, scaring Cinderpelt half to death. She begins to treat Scourge, removing the enforced claw tips and gathering some food for him to eat without getting sick from the influx of sudden nutrition. Snowpaw is so friendly that he manages to become friends with Scourge while he is slowly recovering, hidden in the back of Cinderpelt's den and slowly putting on some weight as he eats with his friend while getting more comfortable with others. None of this would have happened if Snowkit had been taken by that hawk...

Eventually, he is healthy enough to groom himself properly and walk around. But... What now? Can he stay in Thunderclan? Would that be a safe option for him? Firestar is still teaching cats to unlearn their biases, and Scourge may be subject to suspicion and discrimination, which isn't fair to him.

Firestar talks with Princess, and the answer is clear.

His housefolk are not home now, haven't been in a week, but... Smudge is pretty lonely. Rusty left a bit of a hole there, he could use a good friend.

Scourge is brought to Smudge's home in the dark of the night, collar in his teeth, and welcomed inside. His collar tag reads 'Tiny' but with no phone number or microchip, Smudge's people take him in as their own, and Smudge isn't so lonely anymore.

Firestar left housecat life to be wild, proving himself with a broken collar, and Scourge is leaving wild life to be a housecat once more, saving himself with a broken collar.

He is seen during Firestar's Quest, slightly chubby and full of energy, and I might have him go on the Quest with them to round out the party. The important thing is, he is happy.

Princess's Short Story, currently unnamed, is about her passing, visiting her old friends and family as a spirit. She finds Scourge's spirit, along with Quince, Socks, and Smoke, enjoying a peaceful afterlife together.

He is allowed a place in Starclan and Sky-Starclan, and will reappear during Beyond The Stars as a supporting cast member.

ThunderClan-Y2-NL

Brackenfur, Cinderpelt, Thornclaw, Swiftclaw, and Lynxflower all graduate their apprenticeship. 

Dappletail retires to the Elder’s den. 

Tigerclaw does try to kill Redstar to take his place, and manages to strip him of a few lives. However, he does not have the support through the rogues as he had in the main series, so his plot does not completely work, and he is exiled. Redstar is shaken by this, and appoints his sister, Willowpelt as deputy. This is not a popular choice in ThunderClan, as now all three siblings are in the positions of power.

Dustpelt and Mousefur also die during the battle. 

Shortly after the exile, Rosetail moves into the nursery, with Tawnykit and Bramblekit. She does not say who the father is, but as Tawnykit begins to grow & opens her eyes, the Clan knows them both to be Tigerclaw’s kits. 

Elderpaw, when Redstar speaks to him about a temporary mentor for the rest of his apprenticeship, asks to be retrained in the medicine den. His mentor is now Spottedleaf.

thinking about my friends suri swiftclaw ans heathcliff ham

[rookflower]

Okay- two apprentices who died young, Swift and Gorse- gimme what you think their warrior names woulda been if they had lived, please? :0 I love hearing people's thoughts!

hmmm... Swiftwing and Gorseleap are my first thoughts, but I do like the idea of Gorsefire/Gorseheart/Gorseblaze to reference Fireheart!

[cry4nne]

Brightheart, Swiftpaw

i see a lot of people say his name wouldve been Swiftclaw... i disagree, i think Swiftstrike would be a nice name

[ffxivxd]

Gilshs Aath Swiftclaw is an Ondo fisherman who brings in his catch with his barehands. While this is an impressive feat, his bait of choice is fishermen whom he drags into the water from their Eulmoran boats.

More TPB notes

Ravenpaw was popular with Queens, whom Tigerstar made sure to spread rumors among first whenever he was watching over Swiftkit and Lynxkit.

Firepaw sounds different to the other cats, which is one of the things that causes hostility towards him from others.

Cinderpelt is actually shown with her snail friends. She has a few around the Cleric den, but her favorite one actually comes inside, the rest just chill near it.

Sasha's time in Tigerclan is seen in more detail, and is explicitly included in the Special Book, Sasha's Family.

Volewhisper, Deadfoot, Barkface, and Rosetail all deal with chronic pain. Volewhisper's leg often aches and gets worse when he pushes himself. Deadfoot's got an old tail wound that can be quote uncomfortable if he is sat down. Barkface's hips give him trouble, made worse when he runs for his life during the Windclan Massacre. Rosetail has pain in her..."Wrist" joints. No injuries caused it but they're also behind her early retirement, along with her extreme grief. They all use different ways of coping!

Fernkit was born MASSIVE. She becomes an apprentice early, between Into The Wild and Fire and Ice. She's still close with her siblings and mom, though.

Cloudkit, while still fostered by Brindleface and incredibly close with her, is acknowledged as not her kit necessarily, but that they have a special bond that would transcend things like blood. It's that bond that starts showing some cats they can be close to others who aren't their blood-kin. Cloud is treated a little more like Firekin.

Both Sorrelkit and Rainkit have epilepsy, though Sorrel's is made worse by Darkstripe. Rainkit's seizures are really annoying to him, especially of they happen while he's trying to play with his brother and sister. They're not common but he makes a big fuss when his absent seizure makes him unaware that Sorrelkit was about to find his hiding spot. Sorrelkit isn't bothered when she has one, the cheerful kid never seems to let things get to her.

The first leader ceremony seen is Firestar's. We see Nightstar's failed ceremony and, after The Darkest Hour, we see Tigerstar's in his own book, Tigerclaw's Fury.

Leopardstar is referenced to have been named for the strength of Leopardclan, and her own crimes are much more subtly pronounced then Tigerstar's.

Fireheart's explicitly favorite thing to learn is Clan History, especially the Mythical Clans. He becomes close with Willowpelt through this, as she is the Historian of Thunderclan.

huevember day 28: quickwhisper and swiftkit! i don't think i've ever drawn them together!

[everybody-loves-purdy]

Paw AU (that will probably be integrated in my bigger AU, TW for injuries):

- Cloudpaw refuses to get a name from Bluestar at his ceremony, stating that he will only be named WITH or AFTER Brightpaw and Swiftpaw

- He joins Swift and Bright in their quest

- They do manage to kill one dog

- They still get baddly hurt but the three of them survives

- Bright gets: Half of her face thorn, loosing one eye and one ear

- Cloud gets: One front leg mangled and scaring on his back

- Swift gets: Tail thorn off along with one of his back legs

- They are found

- Bluestar gives them the names: Lostface, Mangledback and Notail

- Fireheart tells Princess who joins the clan to help Cinderpelt and kind of become her apprentice/assistant, If anyone has an idea of what her prefix could be that would be nice ^^'

- Princess and Cinderpelt helps the trio recover, they bitch about Bluestar, especially Princess who is VERY angry about what she did to her sons and his friends

- The dog chase still happens, Bluestar sacrifice herself, Fireheart becomes Firestar, Jake remplaces Swiftpaw for his leader ceremony (or maybe someone else, gonna see)

- Firestar renames the three apprentices at the same time, Lostface becomes Brightstorm , Mangledwing becomes Cloudbeam and Notail becomes Swiftclaw

- BrightCloudSwift polycule

- They kill Bone together

- Whitewing gets two sisters, Goldenflight and Silverfeather

Can I assume Swift won’t be Bright’s first cousin in this?

But yeah this is very cool!

For Princess maybe her prefix could be Ember, Sky, Gentle, Wood, or Feather?
