Sparkling Falls

This is where the clan can relax, swim, and feel the mist on their fur

It is time......

*Birdstar rose from her den her green eyes fixed on the dawn sky. It was a beautiful morning. The sky, pink shot with gold and the clouds were cotton wisps as fine as rabbits fur. The warriors emerged from the dens their eyes shining. As they moved their muscles ripped under their thick glossy pelts and Birdstar turned her eyes upon them her fur glittering in the sun.* It is time..... *and so they set off to the Herb Meadow their minds fixed on one thought... What is going to happen to us?*

*The cats reached the meadow their eyes pealed for the presence of the badgers and the puma. Suddenly, Birdstar stopped in her tracks her green gaze focused on the clearing.* There they are... *The badgers and the puma were standing guard over their den watching for any disturbance...* Now when I give the word attack them from all sides. Willowmoon lead Beewing, Muffinfur, Brightflower, Stoneclaw, and Emberbreeze to attack to attack from the right... Pantherpelt lead Sundapple, Willowfeather, Thunderstorm, and Sparrowflight to attack from left. Greymoon lead Thrushwing, Bassleap, and Firestorm to attack the front. *The cats nod and disappear in to the tall emerald green grass. Birdstar turns her eyes onto the expectant looking apprentices*. Now we will attack from the back remember to stay quiet *Birdstar leads the apprentices around the back of the clearing. Their paws stepping quietly through the brush. As they approach the back of the clearing she turns to the apprentices*. Ok when I yowl attack I want you to use all the methods you learned in training. *Birdstar turns her elegant head towards the early morning sky and give a thunderous yowl*. Attack!!!

*The warriors charge out of their hiding places throwing themselves upon the badgers and the puma fighting for their lives and clan. Fighting for the code they knew since kit hood....*

To be continued......

Warriors

All cats old enough to catch their own prey meet below Fernrock for a clan meeting *The cats trot over to the rock*. I would like to thank the warriors who came with me to help Stormclan they showed great courage in the face of danger *Birdstar dips her head to those warriors*. Today I am making two new warriors Thrushpaw and Basspaw please step forward *the two she-cats leap on to the rock*. I ask Starclan to look down on these apprentices for they have worked hard to learn the ways of your noble code... *silverpelt glitters brightly with anticipation as it prepares to accept two new warriors*.

Meeting Dismissed *the cats file away from the rock*!

Pumas, Apprentice, and Stormclan

All cats old enough to catch their own prey meet below Fernrock for a clan meeting *the cats gather*! I have received intelligence that pumas have joined the badgers' forces *gasps fill the clearing*. "What are we going to do Birdstar?" *Freezepool mews*. Well from what I have gathered the female puma is expecting so if we drive off the male the female will follow for the sake of her kittens. "Is that an advantage I smell"? *Pantherpelt mews smugly*. Yes I believe so...

On a lighter note *Birdstar brightens* we have an apprentice ceremony in order *Hawkkit quivers with excitement*! Hawkkit step forward *Hawkkit leaps on to the rock* Hawkkit you have reached six moons and it is time for you to become an apprentice! Hawkkit until you have completed your education you shall be know as Hawkpaw! I have chosen Willowmoon apprentice and I'm sure Hawkpaw will do wonderfully! *Wilowmoon and Hawkpaw touch noses*! Hawkpaw! Hawkpaw!Hawkpaw! *the clan echos Hawkpaw's name through out the clearing*!

Now about the badgers and pumas... well from what I've heard they are supposed to attack in two days within that time we need to prepare so like I said last post follow those instructions and we should be all right.... *Birdstar's eyes move out of focus* "Birdstar are you alright"? *Firestorm mews and supports her with his tail and covers her ears in licks*. Yes I..... *Littlespots a Stormclan cat charges into the camp* "Birdstar Stormclan is being attacked we need help!" We will be right there Littlespots! Come Firestorm, Mudblossom, Pantherpelt, Sundapple, Willowfeather, Willowmoon, Mistpaw, and Moonpaw come with me to Stormclan Fernsong watch my kits! "But mommy why can't we come!" *Cherrykit mews". Stay here Cherrykit that is an order! *Cherrykit's eyes fill with tears* "Mommy I'm scared what if you don't come home"! I will Cherrykit *licks her kits* now be good for Fernsong! Move out *cats yowl in approval and charge toward Stormclan's camp*!

Badgers...

All cats old enough to catch their own prey meet below Fernrock for a clan meeting *Birdstar's voice was cracked with tiredness and worry. The clan realized Birdstar's change in energy and rush towards the rock*. As some of you might know... Willowmoon and her kits Nightpaw and Mistpaw were attacked by badgers yesterday.... *The cats exchange worried mews*. Don't worry they're alright... Nightpaw was the worst he was badly wounded. "But Birdstar you said badgers you mean.... there's MORE"?? *Sundapple mews*. Yes Sundapple according to Willowmoon and her kits two more came over the hill close to the Herb Meadow... At the medicine cat den Willowmoon went in to a trance she said something like... darkness to come and well I think it means the badgers... and well. *Birdstar's voice grows strong again with renewed vigor at the thought of protecting the clan she held close to her heart*. We must fight! Every one must be prepared!! Ok... groups Willowmoon I need you to hold a training session for the apprentices they need to refresh their battle training! You can ask someone to assist you choose anyone you like! Ok warriors and queens.... you guys prepare the camp strengthen the dens and the camp walls. Medicine cats go to the Herb Meadow to collect some herbs we must be prepared for wounded cats.... oh and take a warrior with you since part of the attack was issued there you must be protected. The kits.... "Please Leopardstar don't put our kits into battle"! *Frosttail mews in alarm* Don't worry Frosttail I would never put kits into battle... no I'm only preparing them if the badgers broke into the nursery. Ok ever one go to their stations kits come into my den... Meeting Dismissed *the cats rush over to their stations and the kits head over to Leopardstar's den*!
