Year 7 - Moon 82 – Leaf-bare (1/3)
(64)
(64)
- When temperatures are already regularly below freezing, the clan cats know to expect a cold and harsh winter. As such, they spend this moon trying their best to stock up on food and herbs. However, Rabbitspot can't help but worry, as most of the herbs that grow in Dawnclan territory are already dead or dormant, and the healers' stores had been used up during the illness the last couple of moons. While Froststar tries her best to reassure him, she has her own problems to worry about. In particular, it is clear that the clan had grown accustomed to Archstar's rule and has yet to fully trust her.
- When the clan's warriors have trouble bringing in enough prey due to the cold weather, Forestpaw and Flintpaw are sent out hunting for their warrior assessments. While Flintpaw struggles to find prey in the wooded parts of the territory, Forestpaw braves the cold river in order to bring back fish. When she's successfully, Froststar (finally) declares that she is ready to become a warrior and names her Forestbrook. Meanwhile, Flintpaw barely comes back with anything and must wait to try again next moon.
- While Rabbitspot considers confessing his feelings to Froststar, when both of them are far too busy preparing for leaf-bare, he decides to wait another moon.
- Snowkit becomes an apprentice and is assigned to Stonejaw!
- As Tawnyclaw nurses her kits, Aspenshadow tries to make sure that she has more than enough food. While Tawnyclaw's heart still hurts from the death of her mate, she can't but admit that she's starting to fall in love with her. Even so, she decides that she needs to focus on caring for her kits right now.
Lore Bits/Notes:
Clearly I need to figure out a way to get a Dustkit of my own, since I've heard they're really popular right now lol
