Moon 121-Newleaf

The Clan can’t seem to escape loss. After slowly fading for many moons, the elder Darkpetal (160) was found dead in his nest. Bushmask (131) and Brightfalcon (164) are saddened by the loss of their friend so soon after the loss of their children. Tremors wrack Brightfalcon’s body as she dwells on how Darkpetal won’t see another morning. Bushmask goes over the best moments he shared with Darkpetal in his mind, again and again, until he’s certain he’ll remember Darkpetal forever. Airclaw (63) misses her father and wonders how she’ll move on without him. Cressfreckle (37) and Yellowcreek (48) comfort her. In light of their losses, ElementClan and FurledClan have decided to end the war. It had devolved into a stalemate and both sides were able to find common ground. Despite the end of the war, Chervilcry (100) is busy. She pulls Midgepurr (18) aside and asks him quietly about his crush. He looks at her confused. What crush? He doesn’t have one. Peakspots (90) has been worried that Cressfreckle is spending so much time with his mate instead of going on patrols. This leads to a fight between them that Chervilcry has to break up, and Yellowcreek starts complaining about him behind his back. Although not all is well in their romance. Cressfreckle wants kits, but Airclaw isn’t quite ready yet. She wants to see how their relationship progresses before taking the step into parenthood. Chervilcry also helps them work through it. The final member of the quadrangle, Graysong (34), has noticed that his mother is having a hard time and surprises her with some of her favorite herbs that he grew. Sadly, while on a patrol, Pythonrush (18) is killed by a thunderpath. Flinttooth (22) is a little shaken that she couldn’t save him, but isn’t that torn up. She wasn’t super close to him. However, instead of shrinking this moon, the Clan actually grows. A tom named Luckstripe (58) and his newborn kits have joined the Clan. He and one of his kits, Mothkit (0), are fire-blessed. Chervilcry has to put out a small fire Mothkit starts in the nursery. But the other two. . .are star-blessed. And one of them, Flightkit (0), is so powerful that she almost blinded Caterpillarmallow (71) when she inspected the kits. The other, Lilykit (0), is slightly less powerful, but still pretty strong. Yuccastar (100) is intimidated.

Moon 114-Leaf-fall

The rest of Gentle’s (101) kits have been made warriors! Midgepaw (11) is now Midgepurr, honoring his tranquility, and Timberpaw (11) is now Timberfleck, honoring his observance. All three of his kits have proven that even powerless and low-powered cats can excel in the Clan. However, the good mood in the camp is tempered by loss. The newcomer, Swallowbelly (104), died from her mangled tail. The Clan didn’t know her that well yet, but the loss of any member is a blow, especially one who’s water-blessed (Why is everyone wind-blessed these days! Chervilcry-93-is tired of it). Yuccastar (93) is still warmongering with the other clans and making sure her Clan is battle ready. She compliments Stonefreckle (97) on how sharp his claws are looking and jokes around with Frostheart (17) about how bad the other Clans smell. Caterpillarmallow (64) is taking her job as the Clan’s most senior Healer seriously. She makes sure to check on the younger cats, including making sure that Needlepelt (17) takes some time to eat. There also seems to be a love quadrangle brewing among the younger generation. . .Yellowcreek (41) has a crush on Graysong (27), Cressfreckle (30), and now Airclaw (56). But he doesn’t think any of those relationships will go anywhere. Do any of them like him like that? Not likely. Except it’s totally likely. They’re all crushing on him. And on each other. Airclaw just wants all of Cressfrecke’s dreams to come true. Flinttooth (15) and Pythonrush (11) have been bonding over being non-powered, and Pythonrush even gives Flinttooth some bird feathers to line her nest.

Meta: So, I am aware that I could have called the 'love quadrangle' a love square, rectangle, or even quadrilateral. But my brain generated quadrangle because it has one more cat in it than a triangle. And the name stuck.

Moon 113-Greenleaf

Finally, FINALLY, Needlepaw (16) has been made a full Healer. Her name is Needlepelt, in honor of her emotional maturity. She’s compassionate and great at diagnosing cats. Despite her near non-existent earth-blessing, she’ll make a great Healer. And she’s not the only one who’s been given her full name this moon. Pythonpaw (10) has been made a warrior early! Peakspots (97) has proven his mettle as a mentor, and Pythonpaw excelled at every task put before him. He’s been given the full name of Pythonrush and honored for his zeal. Bushmask (123),who has grown quite reverent of star-blessed cats, makes sure to welcome Faiththrift (34) into the Clan. It can’t hurt to be on good terms with her, right? His daughter, Antlersky (71), is less thrilled with the newer cats in the Clan. Especially Gentle (100). How is he better than her at hunting! It’s not fair. Darkpetal (152) has been hanging out with Flinttooth (14), spreading rumors. He tells her that Graysong (26) has been acting weird, spending a lot more time than normal with that dark-cursed cat. Graysong has indeed been spending more time with Yellowcreek (40). . .and staying up late at night trying to think of ways to impress him. Aww.
