New Ally + New Cats + Starting Anew!

Here are the announcements: I will do my best to revive HawkClan in the next year. We will also possibly have a prophecy soon, so if you want to start getting active on this clan again, here is the chance!


We also have a new ally, DragonClan! Join them for more roleplaying fun!

--------


Moonstar and Bluemoon were padding through the forest on a hunting expedition when they heard the noise. It was faint at first, and gradually grew louder as they weaved in and out through the leafy undergrowth.
"Moonstar, do you hear that?" the blue cat asked his friend.
The leader of HawkClan nodded. "There are cats in trouble," she said. "We should look for them now."
Bluemoon raced forward, his ears twitching as they tried to detect as much sound as they could. "This way!" he called, dashing towards a clearing, the gray she-cat running just behind him.

When the two cats skidded to a stop on the green grass, their eyes widened. A darkly striped orange tom was battling a fox, while an orange and white she-cat was standing behind him, her eyes wide in terror. Next to her sat two kits, both frozen in shock. With a yowl, Bluemoon hurled himself at the fox, ripping up the fur and flesh on it's pointed face. Turning around, the creature fled into the trees. Moonstar walked up to the she-cat and two kits.
"Are you alright?" she asked, dark eyes scanning their pelts for any wounds.
The orange cat nodded. "I'm fine," she said, examining the two kits as well. "And they are too, though I think they're a little shaken up."
Moonstar nodded understandingly, and Bluemoon stepped forward. "Why don't you come to our camp to rest for a while?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"..we want to join HawkClan." Dream's eyes were full of seriousness as she spoke to the leader of HawkClan.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, cats, allies and friends of HawkClan. We wish to have a more active year as well, because this clan has unfortunately fallen apart due to inactiveness, lack of posting, and lack of a prophecy/plot to keep us all interested. Comment below if you have any New Year resolutions/suggestions for the clan!

Gathering!

OK, I'm really sure that no one will comment on this and no one even cares anymore. But anyways, here is the link to this month's gathering.

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-gathering.html

Have fun roleplaying if you still care!

Gathering!

I know that no one comments (or cares) anymore. But I'll just post these to show that I have hope for this clan. Even though no one from HawkClan ever comments on the gathering, it's good to show respect for Dawnstar, who is an admin of the gathering blog and is still making gathering posts.

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/11/november-gathering.html

Helping Our Allies

Let's get over the sickness thing since it was a big failure. Here is a new post!

Moonstar hurriedly padded out into the clearing of the camp, followed by a bleeding and wounded tom, eyes frantic as she leapt onto the Great Boulder. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called, not bothering to wait for the cats to gather. "This is urgent. We must help our ally, LighteningClan in fighting rouges that have attacked their camp. We'll send a two patrols of cats over to their camp to help. Bluemoon!" she called. The blue tom was standing in the middle of the clearing, eyes alert and ears perked. "Yes, Moonstar!" he yelled back. "I want you to organize a patrol of at least 5 warriors and 2 apprentices. I'll organize another one. Understand?" The deputy nodded, and quickly padded off to find warriors for the patrol."

Moonstar leaped off the Great Boulder and padded off to where Ripplestep was, supporting Badgersnarl on her way. "Ripplestep," she said. "Take care of Badgersnarl. He is too weak to go back and fight for his clan. There may be more injured cats, and the medicine cat of LighteningClan will need help. Understand?" The gray medicine cat nodded and directed Badgersnarl into the medicine cat's den, calling out for Plumpaw on her way.

http://lighteningclan.blogspot.com/2011/09/camp-clearing.html

Yup. We'll finish organizing patrols in the comments. WE MUST HELP OUR ALLY!!!!

Gathering!

This won't be a role-play post, but you're free to comment on the gathering. So the October gathering time has come again.

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/10/october-gathering.html

I won't list who can go; anyone who wants to go can go and comment on the gathering post. Have fun!

Meanwhile, I'll be thinking about what to post next on HawkClan. π.π Me, BLUE and Ripplestep will all be gone next week due to a school trip... So....yeah.

Test Post, Please Read

So basically, this is a post to test how many people will actually be active on HawkClan. If there's more than three including me, I will continue this blog. But I don't see the point of just three people roleplaying, so if there are less than 2 people who comment here, HawkClan will probably die. So, if you are seeing this post and truly believe that you can be active, comment below, saying something like 'I can be active!' or something. This will also help me with deleting inactive cats and such. So, let's save the clan!

~Moonstar

(Hawkfur, as soon as we get enough comments, I'll make a new warrior post! Sorry for making you wait so long >.<)

Gathering!

So I'm deciding to make the gatherings more role-playing like, so I'm writing them different than before. Hope you like it!


~*~*~*~*~

Moonstar gazed at her sick clan, eyes full of worry. Though she didn't really want to leave her clan, even if it was for a short time. Leaping onto the Great Boulder, she raised her head and spoke.
"Cats of HawkClan! I am aware that we are not in our healthiest state, but tonight is the gathering, and some of us have to go, to show the other clans that despite the sickness, we are still as strong as ever."
The leader of HawkClan's eyes swept across the camp, in search of cats that weren't sick
"Aspentail, Rockmelt, Goldenpaw, Snowheart, Firleaf, Lionfang, Willowpaw, Russetpaw and Bluepaw, I want all of you to come to the gathering tonight. That is all."

Quickly noticing Lionfang's worried eyes, Moonstar leapt off the giant rock and padded so that she stood next to the tom. "I know you probably don't want to leave Thunderscar," she said. "But there aren't that many healthy warriors right now, and I want you to get the experience of meeting other cats from other clans. Do you understand?"
Slowly, the new warrior nodded, eyes casting another glance at the entrance to the nursery. "I will go see her before I leave," he said, starting to stalk away, dipping his head in respect at the leader.

oOo

A few moments later, Lionfang came out, and Moonstar looked at the cats gathered at the exit of the camp. "HawkClan, let's leave!" Moonstar called, gazing at the clan and dashing out of the camp.

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/09/september-gathering.html

~*~*~*~*~

Yup! Don't comment below to go to the gathering; go to the link above! And as usual, comment below if you have any complaints/suggestions/questions!

New Kits, a Queen and a Warrior

Petalstar, I need the pictures for your kits so I can add them to the join page. :D


~*~*~*~*~

As Ripplestep, Aspentail, Blackash and Rockmelt padded through the forest in search of catmint and other herbs that would help fight the white cough that was sweeping through the camp, their ears twitched  as faint yowls echoed in the forest.
"Did you hear that?" Aspentail asked the rest of the group, turning around to see which direction the sound was coming from.
Ripplestep nodded. "I think there are rouges on our territory. We should help them, I don't like the sound of those yowls..."
"I think the sounds are coming from over there," Blackash said, his tal pointing in the direction of where the clearing in the forest was.
"I think so too," Rockmelt concurred, looking at the mass of trees that lead to the clearing. "Should we go check it out?"
"I think we should," the gray medicine cat replied. "Even if they're loners, we should help any cat that's in trouble. Isn't that on the warrior code?"
"Yeah, let's go," Aspentail said, already padding forward towards the clearing.

oOo

When the four cats reached the clearing, they saw a fully-grown tom, a queen and two kits.
"Are any of you hurt?" Ripplestep said, stepping forward to give each cat a sniff.
"No," replied the tom, eying the medicine cat. "But my mate is about to kit. We found these two on our way here."
Aspentail looked at the group of cats. "Well, we'll take you all to our camp," she said. "A sickness has been spreading, but we're collecting herbs to heal the sick cats right now. It's safe there, and if you want to, you can join our clan. You don't have to, you can just stay until your kits are big enough. But we'll take in these two," she said, looking sideways at the two kits.
The queen shook her head. "I don't think I can take being a rouge anymore. If it's OK with my mate, I'd like to join your 'clan'."
Blackash smiled. "That's great!"
The tom thought for a moment. "I'd do anything for my mate," he said. "We'll join you're clan."

What's Happening to Us?

HawkClan has never had an epidemic before. Let's try it out!

~*~*~*~*~

Ripplestep woke up to the sound of coughing. She quickly rushed outside of her den, though it was just past midnight, and she was very tired from gathering herbs during the day. Her eyes widened as she saw Bluemoon almost dragging himself out of the warrior's den, his body shaking with coughs. The gray medicine cat quickly rushed over to him, eyes filled with worry.
"Are you alright?" she asked, checking his sickened state.
"I-I'm fine," the deputy replied between coughs in a raspy voice.
"You're not OK!" Ripplestep exclaimed, guiding him to the medicine cat's den. "Quick, come to my den so that I can give you some herbs, hopefully you'll be OK before morning..."
But as dawn approached, the sounds of the blue cat's coughing only became louder, and Ripplestep prayed to StarClan silently in her nest. "Please don't let the rest of the clan get it...."

Yes, it was each clan's worst nightmare: white cough.

~

Of course, the spread of white cough was inevitable. The next morning, Ripplestep walked out of the medicine cat's den with Plumpaw, only to hear the sound of more coughing. "Plumpaw," she said, speaking to her apprentice. "Go round up the coughing cats. All we can do now is to give them herbs, and beg StarClan for their recovery. Now go, while I prepare the herbs!"

~*~*~*~*~

OK, how was that? And...this is a weird request, but if you want your cat to get sick (...) then you can comment below. (Also state if you want them to die or live.) I think that's it, and comment away!

Gathering!

(Sorry for the late post [the gathering was up about two days ago], but I've had no motivation to write whatsoever, and I feel all blah. Anyways, here's my half-hearted post on the gathering for August, and I'll be sure to have all of my soul poured into the next one)

So, basically, this is how the gathering will work (again). All of the active people may go.

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/08/august-13th-gathering.html

And.....hope to see you in the next, better and full of text and action-type stuff post!



~~~

*Sulks in a corner* I suck.

The Sun is Shining...

(Just because we haven't commented for real in a long time and I want the new post places to get some comments up. Comment away, my friends!)

Moonstar looked down at her clan from the Great Boulder, and with a sudden leap, jumped down to the ground to join them. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called. "I will now announce the patrols for this afternoon." Glancing around to make sure the majority of the clan was listening and present, she continued. "Bluemoon will lead one patrol around the forest, and Chillingheart will lead another in the direction of the Stone Yard. As for hunting, Starshine will lead one patrol and Snowheart will lead another. Is that clear?"

All of the cats nodded, and then dashed off to see who's patrol they would get sorted into. Moonstar padded away to Bluemoon. "Be safe," she whispered into his ear before padding off to the forest on an unknown expedition.

~*~*~*~*~

OK, that was really short, and was really more of a warm-up post to let people comment again. Patrol leaders, please pick who will be on patrols in the comments. And....

Poppy - I have no message for you, but lead your patrol well :D

Alado - Do you want the kits you play to be apprentices yet?  Because I want you to feel like you're actually doing something on this clan, unless you still want them to remain kits for now.

Stormyskies - I hope you comment.

BLUE - I'll make you comment.

Everone else - Comment to your hearts' desires!

Notification

OK, so all of the places have been moved on to the main HawkClan blog! If you have suggestions for any more places, please comment below :) And if you have any more improvement suggestions for HawkClan, please mention them too! I'll be happy to renovate until the school year starts (two more weeks π.π)

The Shady Mountains

These are the mountains that surround our territory, and are in the mountain range that we share with FalconClan and VolcanoClan. Many cats have climbed them, but fell to their deaths as they began their descend. Please, do not attempt to do the same.

The Stream

This is the small stream that runs through our territory. Though it isn't a big river, it has clean, cold and fresh water, enough for us to survive. Fish occasionally swim upstream and become our prey here. Apprentices should come with their mentors, and of course, kits should not come here at all.

The Waterfall

This is the waterfall that crashes into a pool in the middle of the Stone Yard. The rocks nearby it are very slippery, and even one paw put out of place can send you tumbling down to your death. Kits and elders are not allowed here, and apprentices may only come with their mentor, or a senior warrior.

The Stone Yard

This is the stone yard, where the ground is dry and cracked, and giant stones and boulders are everywhere. You could say it is a sort of desert with no sand or ice. Kits call it the 'Stone Forest', because of all the towering stones. Of course, they've only heard about it from nursery stories, because kits and new apprentices are not allowed here.

The Burrows

There are the burrows that lie to the west of the Forest of Mystery. No one knows what animal used to occupy them, because they've been deserted for so long, but it is clear that there used to be a whole colony living here. Sometimes the burrows are good for shelter against extreme weather, but only the smaller cats fit into them.

The Clearing

This is the clearing, which is almost in the middle of the Forest of Mystery. It is surrounded by tall oak trees, and is the place in the forest where the most sunshine reaches. Cats like to bask in the sun here on particularly sunny days. There are a few boulders around.

The Tree Place

This is where all of the trees in the Forest of Mystery stand. Some are tall, some short, and some just average height. Their green leaves fold in towards the sky, only the occasional shaft of sunlight piercing through them. Around, birds chirp and small mammals go about with their business. They'd better watch out for the hunting patrols!

Moonstar Angry. *Growls*

This will be one of my most informal posts ever. No one edited/posted on HawkClan *stares at stormy and BLUE*. I don't care about that. But I should thank Alado and stormy for commenting all through the summer. Um. I'm gonna start renovating the site, so there will be a lot of posts that you won't have to comment on immediately (because they'll be places). Uh. That's it, I think.

Why am I angry? Dunno.

Warrior Gathering Tonight!

Tonight is the full moon, and therefore there is a warrior gathering. Please go! All active cats may go, so I hope you know who you are. I'm not going to list the cats, just the people who have been active lately (NOTE: THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO COMMENTED ON THE LAST FOUR POSTS):

-Poppy
-Alado
-Alina
-Tawny/Duckfeater
-Eden
-Ripplestep
-StormySkies
-Anna

Yup! That's about it...here's the link to the gathering, please comment!

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/06/june-2011-gathering-tonight-future.html

So yeah. HawkClan will be going under renovation, please see the previous previous post. I will have a gadget at the top of the posts showing the newest RP post and the newest notification post, OK? :D

PS: Do you like the new favicon? :D It's the icon that shows at the top of the tab or window.

A Queen & Kits

The cats of HawkClan raised their heads as they spotted Chillingheart walking in from a hunting patrol, a she cat and two kits bounding at his heels. Bluemoon padded over to the head warrior. "Who are these cats? Did you come across them in the forest?"

The dark tom nodded. "They were living inside a hollow tree," he explained. "Better here than there, you know?" Chillingheart proceeded to take the cats to Moonstar's den, where he explained to the leader of HawkClan about the cats.

~*~*~*~*~

"Cats of HawkClan!" Moonstar's voice could be heard all around the camp. "Today we have three new cats joining us!" As the clan's cheers died down, she continued. "Ice, Badger and Ginger, please step up to the Great Boulder." The three cats slowly stalked up, eyes full of determination and seriousness, except for Ginger's who were playful and sparkling as ever. "Ice, do you promise to become a loyal warrior and queen of HawkClan, and serve it at any cost?"

"Yes," the she-cat replied, looking up at the noble leader.

"Then by the powers of DreamClan, I give you your warrior name. You will be known as Icepool from now on."

"Ginger and Badger, do you swear to become part of HawkClan and defend it as much as you can when you become proud warriors of it?"

"Yes," the two kits said, eyes sparkling, filled with determination.

"From now on until you receive your apprentice names, you will be known as Badgerkit and Gingerkit. May DreamClan light your paths forever."

"Icepool! Badgerkit! Gingerkit! Icepool! Badgerkit! Gingerkit!" The clan's yowls drowned out the sound of the winde blowing through the mountains, and were carried up to the ranks of DreamClan....

~*~*~**~

How'd you like this post?? As usual, please comment below if you want your cat mentioned more. HawkClan is going under a renovation/major change soon, so many place posts will be made and it won't be up for roleplaying that much. Please make sure to read the previous post for more info!

Changes

OK, so I'm ending the survey, and got the following feedback:

• Make HawkClan territory on this blog, not a separate blog
• Put the cats in the sidebar

I'm up for putting the territory here, but what do you think about the cats in the sidebar thing? Comment below, I'd love to hear what you have to say :D

Since I won't be here for most of the summer, someone else (who wants to remain anonymus) will post on this blog, but won't play my characters, so it's best if you don't interact with them too much. This person will begin working soon, and will help us to improve this clan. Because of making the territory, HawkClan will be on hold for a while (OMG IT STARTED RAINING) as we make the new posts with the places. Please, role-play on the already made places here (like the training hollow and stuff) and not on HawkClan Territory anymore. That's about it!

Last question: What should be done with the 'HawkClan Territory' blog?

Comment below with you opinions!

Apology, and a Survey Type Thing?

I'm sorry for the lack of posts, I'll post real soon, but I really need ideas for posts. Please comment below if you have any suggestions! I also have made another survey thing, I hope you can take the time to fill it in. Thanks, and I'll post very soon!

Form Builder by  - Privacy

Note: I just deleted all of the inactive cats, and Alado, how old are Mintykit and Whitekit? They can be made apprentices soon :D

Mountain Gathering

Tonight is the crescent moon, and we are gathering with our allies who also live in this great mountain range. All you active people may go! Here's the post link:

http://mountaingathering.blogspot.com/2011/05/june-gathering.html

That's it! We might start discussing about a new prophecy, so please go and read the comments!

Kits

Moonstar looked up as Ripplestep padded into her den, sitting herself next to the leader's nest. The gray and white quickly sat up, blinking tiredness out of her eyes, and stared at her medicine cat. "I presume you have news, Ripplestep?"
"Yes, Moonstar," replied the she-cat. "Starshine just finished kitting. Our clan now has four new members; Dawnkit, Sunkit, Nightkit and Poppykit."

For a moment, the clan's leader's eyes shone, and then went dull once again. "I see," she said. "I'll make an announcement right now. New members of the clan need to be celebrated." Ripplestep nodded. She looks tired, the medicine cat thought. I shouldn't ask though, that'd provoke her. I wish I knew what was causing this tiredness....


~*~*~*~


Moonstar stalked out of her den, taking her place on top of the Great Boulder. "Cats of HawkClan!" she announced, her voice less energetic than usual. "Today, we celebrate the arrival of four new kits into our clan. Starshine has given birth to Dawnkit, Sunkit, Poppykit and Nightkit. I'm sure they will prove to be valuable members of our clan and will grow up into fine warriors."

Below, on the ground, the group of cats in the camp cheered. New kits!

Moonstar dipped her head. "That is all," she said, blinking, and disappearing with a flick of her tail.

~*~*~*~

What'd you think of the post? Wanted some action, maybe this could lead to a prophecy, I'll ask stormy if she wants to do a prophecy with FalconClan. :) RP from here!

New Kits & Kits & Suspicions....

Rockmelt was padding out of the nursery, urgently walking over to the medicine cat's den. Plumpaw, who was sitting with the other apprentices, stood up. "What's wrong?" he asked, walking over, Ivypaw and Willowpaw following him. "Starshine's kitting," the warrior said. "I need to get water." Plumpaw nodded. "I'll go with you," he said, walking away with the tom.

Onyxpaw straightened up, and next to him, Bluepaw's eyes sparkled. "New kits!" Just then, Plumpaw came padding back out. "Don't celebrate yet," he warned. "Kitting is dangerous sometimes, and we don't know what's going to happen yet. We're going to have to pray to StarClan with all our hearts and souls."

Those words made Ivypaw's head shot up. Starclan! she hissed in her brain. They didn't do anything! They can't do anything! They can't..... Ivypaw was about to stand up and head to the den, when Russetpaw stood up and stood in her way. "Why do you always to that?" the apprentice asked. "Whenever StarClan's mentioned, you put on that really angry face...."

~*~*~*~*~

**Two days earlier** (You can still RP to this, just indicate which section you're replying to in your comment)

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder, two kits cowering behind her, and Bluemoon standing behind them. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called, looking down at the clan. "I have an announcement to make. We have to kits joining us today." The leader indicated the kits, and Bluemoon guided them forward gently. "Please welcome Whitekit and Mistykit into our clan! I'm sure they will grow up to be fine warriors!"
"Whitekit! Mistykit! Whitekit! Mistykit!" the clan called, welcoming the two cats.
Mistykit stared at the cats, eyes round. "There's so many cats!" she said.
Whitekit nudged her. "Duh," he said. "It is a clan, after all."

Moonstar sighed, and stepped in front of the two new cats. "Please be on the look out for these kits' mother," she said. "Apparently, she is still wandering around in the forest, and though she abandoned them, she might want to see her kits once again. That is all."

With a flick of her tail, Moonstar padded back into her den, leaving the kits to explore the camp.

"Let's go!"

~*~*~*~*~

Sorry if the post was a little rushed, it's pretty late right now (I was drawing something for about three hours), and my dad's throwing things at me. (Don't ask) Anyways, please tell me if you want your cat mentioned more, and as I said before, when you comment, please indicate which part of the post you're replying to! Bye for now!

Is Love in the Air?

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder, looking down at Bluemoon, eyes shining with pride for her first friend. You're doing great, she thought as she watched him organize the patrols for the day. She remembered why she had walked up there in the first place, and raised her voice.
"Cats of HawkClan! I have an announcement to make! Starshine is going to have Rockmelt's kits."

The clan was loud with the sound of purring. The apprentices pranced around the clearing. "More kits! More kits!" As Moonstar's gaze swept around the camp, she noticed Rainfall sitting in the corner with Snowfeather, their pelts pressed close together, tails entwined.

Oh, why did StarClan make me leader? Moonstar thought to herself in her mind. I have better things to do than lead the clan.... Shaking her head to clear herself of her thoughts, the leader padded away, head down, eyes wistful for the one cat that she had loved all this time. Bluemoon....


~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sorry it's so short! I really want to get our clan moving along and Charredstar/Piney said she had a good idea if Snowfeather had kits. Roleplay from here, and tell me if you want to be more included in future posts!

Gathering Tonight!

There's a gathering tonight! All of you active people can go, since all of the active cats should suffice for one gathering patrol. Hopefully you'll know if you're active or not. Basically, anyone who commented in the last week is active ^^.

http://thewarriorgathering.blogspot.com/2011/05/gathering-tonight.html

~*~*~*~*~

Two blog announcements! (Actually maybe three) Poppy made a new blog, join if you can! I made a new blog as well; it's a life blog, but I'd appreciate it if you follow and comment :). Lastly, Alado and me also made a new roleplaying blog, so please join it as well!

Suspicions

Snowfeather was standing at the entrance of the camp with Starshine and Bluepaw when they heard commotion in the camp. "Goodbye!" Wolfpaw and Goldenpaw were calling to Plumpaw as he headed across the clearing with Ripplestep. Ivypaw padded out of the clearing.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"The medicine cats are going out for the gathering," Russetpaw explained. "It's the half moon tonight."
Inwards, Ivypaw snorted, but she kept serious on the outside. "Oh," she said.

Rainfall was talking with Bluemoon in the corner of the clearing. "Have a safe journey!" he called to the two cats as they left. Snowfeather backed up so that the two could leave the camp. "May StarClan light your path!" she called to them as they disappeared into the forest.

http://themooncrystal.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-gathering.html

oOoOo

Ivypaw sighed as she woke up from her dream. She was constantly getting tormented by dark dreams, most in which she ended up dying. She looked around. All of the other apprentices were sleeping. "It wouldn't hurt to slip out," she thought to herself, standing up and shaking mist out of her fur. It was raining slightly, and the camp was dampened with water. The young apprentice slowly padded out of her den, yawning.

Ripplestep was standing in the clearing, standing perfectly still. That's strange, Ivypaw thought. What is Ripplestep doing? As she approached the medicine cat, Ripplestep's green eyes shot open. Startled, Ivypaw backed up. Ripplestep blinked for a moment, then focused her eyes on the apprentice. "Oh, Ivypaw!" she said, just as surprised. "You're sure up early."
Ivypaw kneaded the ground with her paws. "I-I had a dream," she admitted.
Ripplestep nodded. "Not a dream from StarClan, I hope," she said.
Ivypaw shook her head, her eyes widening with rage. She was sick of StarClan, and was disgusted in how such brave and noble cats could depend on such nonsense. "Stop it!" she yowled, her voice ringing throughout the clearing....

(Some action! I was gonna make Ivypaw tackle Ripplestep, but that would be bad :P. RP from here, and say something if you want your character mentioned more!)

Doubts

(Here's something to do with an action-prophecy type thing that I think will do this clan some good.... Sorry If I favor Ivypaw a little, but she's going to play a big role in this. If you want any of your cats to be mentioned more, please say so!)

Ivypaw woke up in the apprentice's den, stretching her jaws wide in a giant yawn. Next to her, Onyxpaw stirred.
"You woke me up!" he complained as the other apprentices woke up as well.
Russetpaw glared. "Thanks," she said. "I was having a really good dream."
Bluepaw grumbled something inaudible, and Ivypaw backed up. "Well, sorry," she said scathingly, leaving the den.
Goldenpaw and Wolfpaw opened their eyes, blinking out the rays of sun. "What happened?" Goldenpaw asked the other apprentices.
"Ivypaw woke everyone up with her yawn," Willowpaw explained from the entrance of the den.
"Well, there's no use in going back to sleep now," Bluepaw grumbled.
Wolfpaw brightened. "You're right!" he said. "Let's go outside!"

~*~*~*~

Ivypaw sighed as she plopped herself down at the entrance of the den. She turned around and saw the other apprentices coming out as well. Her mind suddenly filled with anger, and she turned away, facing the medicine cat's den. Plumpaw came padding out, Ripplestep by his side. "No dreams from StarClan, right?" Ripplestep asked her apprentice as they stopped in the middle of the clearing. Plumpaw shook his head, but Ivypaw's thoughts erupted in flames. StarClan? she thought coldly. Like they would help us. They're just a bunch of dead cats; what can they do? Plumpaw walked over to the other apprentices and joined in the sharing of tongues. Ivypaw glared at the ground. How could such cats believe in such an impossible thing as StarClan?

(oooo XD Not really sure where this should head, but you guys can write some things to kinda push the story in the right direction.... :D)

Four Apprentices and a Ceremony

Moonstar and Bluemoon padded into the camp, followed by four young cats. All of the warrior's heads shot up, looking at the new comers. "Don't mind them, you'll get used to this eventually," Moonstar was saying, and then leapt up onto the Great Boulder. "Cats of HawkClan!" she announced proudly. "It is my proud duty as a leader to name cats into our clan, and today we welcome four apprentices into our clan." The leader paused to mention the cats slightly with her tail. "But before we do that, I have two ceremonies to perform. Firpaw and Snowpaw, please step forward." When the two apprentices arrived, they looked up at Moonstar with sparkling eyes, sleek pelts shining in the bright sun. 


"I, Moonstar, leader of HawkClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their own turns. Firpaw and Snowpaw, do you two promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of  your lives?"

Firpaw and Snowpaw answered with clear gazes. "Yes."

"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior names, Firpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Firleaf. StarClan honors your courage and strength and we welcome you as a full warrior of HawkClan. Snowpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Snowheart, and StarClan honors  your agility and service to the clan."


The whole of the clan raised their voices. "Snowheart! Firleaf! Firleaf! Snowheart!"


Moonstar smiled as her clan cheered, then moved on. "And now, we welcome our apprentices. Ivy, Onyx, Blue and Russet and Willowkit, please step forward. Do you promise to devote yourselves to the clan and to StarClan, even at the cost of your lives?"


"Yes," the former rouges and the kit replied, eyes shining.


"Then I name you as apprentices. From this moment on you will be known as Ivypaw, Onyxpaw, Bluepaw, Russetpaw and Willowpaw. Ivypaw, you're mentor will be Firleaf, and Snowheart will mentor Onyxpaw.  Bluepaw will be mentored by Snowfeather, Russetpaw by Rainfall and Willowpaw by Aspentail. That is all!"

The new mentors and apprentices stepped forwards and touched noses with each other, as the clan yowled, "Ivypaw! Onyxpaw! Russetpaw! Bluepaw! Willowpaw!" over and over again.

(Continue RPing!!!)

A Change and a Brand New Day

Bluemoon looked around the camp from atop the Great Boulder. No one was up yet, because it was still pretty early in the morning, but he could hear some shuffling in the warrior's den, and assumed that his fellow clanmates had began to wake from their sleep. Moonstar came padding out of her den behind him.

"Good morning," the black and white leader greeted. "You're up here again."

It wasn't a question, but somehow it made the blue-gray tom feel uneasy. "You saw me up here before?" he questioned, looking his friend in the eye.

Moonstar chuckled. "No one can be up here without me knowing," she commented. "Speaking of you being up here, I've seen you standing here a lot. And some changes need to be made to HawkClan..."

Moonstar stood up straighter and padded to the tip of the boulder. "Cats of HawkClan!" she yowled, waking up all of the still sleeping cats. "An urgent change has come up. This is an important message, and I need all of you to hear this. I will be appointing a new deputy today. Darkflame is....ill. Our new deputy will be Bluemoon."

The leader could hear the small gasps of the clan members, but ignored them. "That is all," she said. "Please treat Bluemoon the way you would treat Darkflame. In the meantime, Darkflame will reside in the elder's den.

"We need to organize patrols. Bluemoon, will you organize one hunting patrol and one regular patrol? After patrolling we'll have a battle training session with all of the apprentices. Is that OK with all of you?" she asked the clan.

(RP from there! And I had to demote Darkflame, because stormy, is, well, inactive. Yeah.)

Two Warriors

(Time for a long and juicy post... :D)


Pearl woke up, the sun shining in her eyes. She blinked and yawned, then looked beside her. There lay her ornate china bowl with the usual cat food: tasteless, brown pellets. She was starting to get bored of it. She chewed on some and then drank from the bowl of milk beside the cat food. Then she bounded out of the house into the backyard.

The warm rays to sunlight felt good against her fur. She purred and lay down in the grass. The fresh smell of wild grass soothed her. She look beyond the fence, into the forest. She had never been there before. But she had an urge to go now. 

She looked back at her house. The quaint, small house had been her home since she was a kitten. Her owner adored her, and she wondered how she would cope without her favorite cat. Maybe she could go into the forest for a walk and come back for lunch, she thought. Yes, it was a great idea.

She bunched up her leg muscles and jumped, releasing all the energy. She landed squarely on the top of the fence. It felt good. She hopped off the fence into the forest. The soft earth felt good under her feet, and the breeze felt nice. She could hear warblers singing and nightingales floating through the trees. Then she got carried away.

She suddenly realized she was lost. Her heart sunk. Now what could she do? The sun was starting to set. Had she been walking for so long? She panicked.

"Ok. Pearl, THINK."

She concentrated on her situation. She was out in the forest, she had no idea where she was, the sun was starting to set, and her owner would be looking for her. She felt lost. NO ideas came up in her mind. She tried retracing her footsteps, but it proved unuseful.

It was nighttime. She was still lost. She lay down and sobbed.

"Grr........."

Pearl instantly jumped up. She looked around frantically.

"W-who's there?" Pearl shouted, trying to sound confident.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a creature pounced out of the bush towards her.

"Who are you?" growled a demanding voice.

"L-let me go! I didn't do anything!"

The creature let her go. Pearl took a closer look. A cat!

"Where am I?"

"You're in the forest. What are you doing out here anyways?"

"Well, I just wanted to see the forest, but I kinda got carried away..."

"It's not safe out here. Come with me."

Pearl followed the mysterious she-cat, till they arrived at a hollowed out tree trunk.

"It's the closest to a home I have. You'll have to cope. Here, have a mouse."

Pearl stared at the mouse. She had never tasted freshkill before. She took a bite.

"It's delicious! I've never tried it before!"

"Yes, I haven't either until a few days ago. I got lost in the forest like you did. Didn't take me a long time to figure out that it isn't safe out here fore a housecat. You'll have to be strong and aggressive, to scare off predators, you know."

"Oh..."

"PEARL! WAKE UP!"

Pearl snapped out of her sleep immediately.

"A fox just found us. RUN!"

Without a word, Pearl and the she-cat dashed out of the log and ran away. The fox pursued, seeming to never lose strength. It got closer and closer, then grabbed hold of the she cat. Pearl screamed.

"Get up that tree!" the she cat yelled.

Pearl did as she was told and bounded up the tree. She was amazed at how she actually knew how to climb a tree. She never had before, unless a Christmas tree counts. The she-cat tried her best at fighting off the fox, but it was no help. The fox cornered her against the tree. All hope seemed lost when a cat burst out of the bushes. He quickly battered away the fox, and it fled, never to be seen again.

Pearl stared at the tomcat.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome. It's my job."

"What job?"

"I'm a warrior. My name's Bluemoon."

"Oh... I'm Pearl."

"And I'm Diamond." The other she cat said. "We're both lost."
Bluemoon promptly replied. "Maybe you could join our clan! Its wonderful. Come take a look!"

The three of them bounded off to camp.

New Ally - WoodClan!

OK, guys, we have a new ally, WoodClan, which means we will help them when they are in trouble and vice versa. ^^ Join them if you can!

Rainfall

Soon after the patrols were being organized, Moonstar leaped back onto the Great Boulder. "I have one more announcement to make!" she called, a gray tom standing behind her. "Today we welcome a new cat into our clan, Rainfall. He has understood what it means to be a warrior, and will serve in our clan as a proud member. Please welcome him!"

And as Wolfpaw chased Plumpaw around the clearing, the whole clan yowled and shouted, "Rainfall! Rainfall! Rainfall!", their voices reaching all the way to StarClan and beyond.

Please read this post as soon as you can, because there's going to be a new warrior soon and I'll be making a new post for that as well!

Another Day

Mooonstar stood atop the Great Boulder. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called. "Please gather at the Great Boulder for a clan meeting." When all the cats were gathered, she announced, "Our battle is now over, and our clan has to move on. Bluemoon, could you organize a hunting patrol, and Fernsplash, could you organize a patrol to go around the territory? That is all." With a flick of her tail, the leader leapt down the boulder to see what the two cats would do.

One More Thing...

I made a new clan, VolcanoClan!!! :D Please join if you want! Thanks, Frostfeather, for joining already ^^ It's still kinda under construction, but I will welcome new members!

volcanoclancats.blogspot.com

Notice to ALL People Who Have Joined

Hey, guys, I just want to make note of something. Some people are doing really great, and are really active, whereas some other cats...don't really come on...

First of all, I have a short message for Frostfeather, is that I DID add Willowkit, it's just that I didn't have time to make a post then. (If you want a post you can comment below and I'll make one immediately)

And a message to Ripplestep, Bluemoon, Poppy and Ferny, THANKS for being so active!!!!! I'm really grateful :)

To all of you inactive dudes (Danielle, stormy, Brightlegs, Fallenheart, Alado, Loststar, Waterstorm, Willowmoon, Kitten Party Craze, Warrior Clans, Pinestar/Charredstar [sort of]), PLEASE try to be more active! I know Brightlegs doesn't come onto blogger that much anymore, but the rest of you are active on some other blogs. I've already deleted Waterstorm, Tigerwhiser, Silverpaw, Hollypaw, Sparrowpaw and Kestrelpaw in the battle. If you want your cat to live, then BE ACTIVE.

That's all.

A Strange Sign and Three Apprentices

Moonstar leaped onto the Great Boulder, her pelt matted with blood and scratches. "Cats of HawkClan!" she announced. "Today we have experienced a great tragedy. Our clan has fought, and if the terrible shaking of the earth had not occurred, we would have lost. Many lives have been lost, including those of:
Hollypaw
Sparrowpaw
Tigerwhisker
Waterstorm
Kestrelpaw
-and Silverpaw. We mourn their passings and hope that they have a good afterlife in DreamClan. But this battle has also brought us a sign. Something will happen that will shake this earth to its core. And we must be prepared.


"Aside from that, I have one more announcement. It is our duty as warriors to train warriors. And today I name three new apprentices. Plumkit, Wolfkit and Goldenkit, please step forward. This is a proud day for HawkClan, but also a sad day, but by naming apprentices we show that we will survive and remain strong. Plumkit, Wolfkit and Goldenkit, from now on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Plumpaw, Wolfpaw and Goldenpaw.
Fernsplash, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Wolfpaw's mentor. I know you will pass on your strength, wisdom and courage to Plumpaw, and teach him the skills that will make him a brave warrior of HawkClan."

Wolfpaw cheered as he rushed to the outside of the medicine cat's den to touch noses with his mentor, eyes sparkling like stars.

Moonstar continued. "I will mentor Goldenpaw myself, and I have a special announcement for Plumpaw. The cats of StarClan and DreamClan have wished it so, and Plumpaw will be Ripplestep's apprentice. Please pass onto Plumpaw your knowledge of herbs, and of our warrior ancestors."

Moonstar raised her voice. "That is all!" she yowled as the cats of the clan screeched, "Plumpaw! Wolfpaw! Goldenpaw!"

A Battle!

Starshine and Snowpaw were training in the clearing, when Snowpaw smelled something strange. "Starshine!" he whispered. "I smell something! Three things!" Starshine's head shot up immediately, widening her eyes as she realized the awful truth. They were surrounded by an array of dogs, foxes and badgers. "Run!"

The clan was doing their normal activity of sharing tongues and prey when the two cats raced into the camp. "Foxes!" Starshine screeched. "Dogs! And badgers!" Moonstar's eyes widened as her eyes picked up the scent of the three creatures. She quickly yowled to the clan, "Protect the clan with your lives! We're under an attack!"

Blackash raced to the nursery and stood guard in front of it. Starshine quickly rushed over to Rockmelt and the apprentices formed a group in front of the medicine cat's den. Fernsplash stood with Moonstar, Berylmist and Darkflame in the center of the camp. Then, suddenly, the valley was filled with badgers, foxes and dogs, and all of hell broke loose.

Bluemoon was battling a fox when he saw the worst horror of his life: Moonstar lying lifeless under of the paws of a fox and a dog. Scarlet stained the ground of the camp, glistening in the weak sunlight. "Moonstar!" Bluemoon cried as he saw a faint outline leave the leader, symbolizing that she had lost one of her lives. "No! Don't!" he yelled again as a brown figure streaked past him. Snowpaw had hurled himself at the creatures that had brought harm to their leader, but was easily batted away. He crunched against the hard rock of the warrior's den, then fell still. Bluemoon closed his eyes.

HawkClan is going to die.....

Action....

OK, HawkClan really needs some action in order for it to keep on going. Here are some ideas...

1. A battle (To boost relationships and medicine cat activity)
2. Another prophecy (Probably not though, because we've tried two prophecies and they both didn't work....we COULD ask ShadeClan if we could share a prophecy....)
3. A cat that wants to take apart the clan from within (Sounds fun! xD)

Pick one! If you want a prophecy, you gotta choose quickly, because ShadeClan looks like they're getting on with their prophecy pretty quickly. 

Well, ciao for now!

Medicine Cat Gathering

Moonstar was standing on top of the Great Boulder when she saw Ripplestep padding out of her den. The clan leader walked up to the medicine cat. "Half moon? Time for the medicine cat gathering, right?"

Ripplestep dipped her head. "I'm heading there right now."

Moonstar nodded. "Have a safe trip," she said. "May StarClan be with you, and I pray that there is no ill situation coming to HawkClan."

As the young cat padded out of the camp, the other cats looked up. "Bye!" called Snowpaw, and the other warriors and apprentices bid their farewells as well. "Good-bye! Come back soon!"

Link: The Moon Crystal: April Gathering

Fernsplash

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and called, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting!" When all the cats were gathered, she looked down. "Today we have a new warrior joining us. Fernsplash, please step forward. I, Moonstar, leader of HawkClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this warrior. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Fernsplash, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of  your life?"


Fernsplash's gaze was as serious as Moonstar's. "I do," she said confidently.


"Then by the powers of StarClan I name you as a full warrior of HawkClan. StarClan honors your courage, strength and your loyalty and we welcome you as a full warrior of HawkClan."


Moonstar padded forwards, and as she rested her muzzle on the new warrior's head and Fernsplash licked her shoulder in return, the whole of the clan raised their voices and shouted to the whole of StarClan and DreamClan. "Fernsplash! Fernsplash! Fernsplash!"


NOTICE: WE ARE NOW ALLIES WITH SHADECLAN, FERNY'S CLAN :) JOIN IF YOU CAN~!

Apprentice...

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down fondly at her clan. It has grown so much... "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Great Boulder for a clan meeting," she called. When everyone was gathered, she looked down. "Snowkit!" When the young cat padded forward, she continued. "This is a proud day for HawkClan, by naming apprentices we show that our clan will survive and remain strong. Snowkit, from now on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Snowpaw. Starshine, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Snowkit's mentor. I know you will pass on your strength, wisdom and power to Snowpaw, and teach him the skills that will make him a brave warrior of Hawkclan."


As Starshine stepped forward to touch noses with the small tom, Moonstar and all of the clan raised their voices. "Snowpaw! Snowpaw! Snowpaw!"

Attention!

OK, this is a pretty random post, but from now on, Rockmelt is a WARRIOR, not an elder. poppy and Pinestar, there can be a love triangle! ;)

Two Warriors

Moonstar stood atop the high boulder. "Cats of HawkClan, today we have two new warriors joining our ranks." She paused and waited for all of the cats to gather. "I, Moonstar, leader of HawkClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these warriors. They understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turns. Snowfeather and Starshine, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of  your lives?"


"I do," said both cats solemnly.


"Then by the powers of StarClan I make you warriors of HawkClan. StarClan honors your courage, strength and loyalty, and we welcome you as full warriors of HawkClan."


Moonstar stepped forward and placed her muzzle on Snowfeather, then Starshine's head. When both of them licked her shoulder, she stood up straight and cheered with the rest of the clan. "Snowfeather! Starshine! Snowfeather! Starshine!"


(OH by the way poppy, I couldn't get your picture, so I used another one. If you don't like it can you recomment at the join page? Thanks!)

Ugh.

We need more ACTIVE members, so until we get 5 more, I'm going to put the prophecy on hold. Again.

A Notice to the Cats

Notice: DreamClan will also be part of our warrior ancestor clans, ok? So we'll believe in both DreamClan AND StarClan now.

Another Morning

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and scanned the camp for Darkflame. When she spotted him, she called, "Darkflame! Please organize the patrols for this morning."

When the deputy nodded in understanding, he bounded away to the other cats. "We'll have three patrols and two hunting patrols," he said. I'll lead one patrol, Waterstorm will lead another and Bluemoon will lead the last. I'll take the west side of our territory, Waterstorm will take the middle side and Bluemoon will take the east side. OK? You can choose the cats to be on your patrol. And....Blackash will lead a hunting patrol. Vivid will as well."

A New Warrior!

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down at the clan. Then she opened her jaws to speak. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called. "Today we have a new warrior joining us! I, Moonstar, leader of HawkClan, call upon our warrior ancestors to look down on this warrior. She understands the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Gingerspark, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of  your life?"


"Yes," replied the young cat, amber eyes glowing.


"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name. StarClan honors your courage, bravery and strength and we welcome you as a full warrior of HawkClan."


Moonstar padded forward to touch her muzzle to Gingerspark's head, and Gingerspark licked the leader's shoulder in response.


"Gingerspark! Gingerspark! Gingerspark!"

March Gathering!

Moonstar stood on the Great Boulder and announced: "Tonight is the March Gathering! These cats will come with me:
Darkflame
Ripplestep
Bluemoon
Brightlegs
Tigerwhisker
Vivid
Spiritpaw
Sparrowpaw
Flowerpaw
Mistpaw
Kestrelpaw
-and Hollypaw. Get ready, and we'll head out soon!"

With that, Moonstar leaped off the rock and disappeared into her den. Blackash dipped his head, and the kits resumed their play.

A New Apprentice

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down at the clan. Snowkit was playing with Aspentail's kits, and Firpaw was chatting with the other apprentices. She smiled happily and opened her mouth to yowl: "Cats of HawkClan! Today we have a new apprentice joining us!" As soon as all of the cats had gathered, she looked back down at her clan.


"This is a proud day for HawkClan, by naming apprentices we show that we will survive and remain strong. From now on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Flowerpaw," Moonstar said as she looked down at the young cat. Then she looked up. "Bluemoon, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Flowerpaw's mentor. I know you will pass on your skills and wisdom to her, and teach her the skills that will make her a brave warrior of HawkClan."

As apprentice and warrior touched noses, Moonstar and all of HawkClan raised their heads and yowled to StarClan. "Flowerpaw! Flowerpaw! Flowerpaw!"

Errk.

Yes, I KNOW that HawkClan is dying. I'm sorry. But it's true. Thanks a lot, guys.

The City Cats

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder with Ripplestep. "Cats of HawkClan!" she called. "We have been invited by UrbanClan to meet them in the clearing. We have all been called by StarClan to allie with them, though reasons are unknown. So, tomorrow we must all get up early and get their first. Understand?"

~Moonstar

A Strange Breeze...

A breeze blew through the hollow, making every cat shiver. Ripplestep had her ears perked. Sparrowpaw looked up at her mentor. "R-Ripplestep?" she squeaked. Ripplestep looked down at the small cat. "It's a prophecy," she whispered. "Didn't you hear it?" When Sparrowpaw shook her head, Ripplestep bent down to her. "It doesn't matter," she said. "We need to cancel our trip to the Star Pool."

In the leader's den, Ripplestep, Moonstar and Sparrowpaw all sat across from each other. Ripplestep looked at Moonstar.
"There's been a message from StarClan. A prophecy."
Moonstar narrowed her eyes and Sparrowpaw looked up at Ripplestep in wonder.
"The hawk of the sky must join with the epic lasers of the city." (Please don't laugh.)
Moonstar looked at Ripplestep. "What do you think that means?" she asked. "Join to do what?"
Ripplestep shook her head. "I don't know," she said. "But I think they meant the cats from UrbanClan..."

The Journey to the Pool...

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down at the clan. "Cats of HawkClan!" she exclaimed. "Ripplestep and I will now begin on our journey to the StarPool. Darkflame will be in charge." She looked over at the medicine den. "Ripplestep, please prepare some traveling herbs. That is all."

~Moonstar

Healing Herbs Reference

This is the reference page for medicine cats who are not yet trained in the art of healing but just have a talent for communicating with StarClan. These are just some basic herbs that medicine cats use.

Borage Leaves - To be chewed and eaten. The plant can be distinguished by its small blue or pink star-shaped flowers and hairy leaves. Great for nursing queens as it helps increase their supply of milk. Also brings down fever.

Burdock Root - A tall-stemmed, sharp-smelling thistle with dark leaves. A medicine cat must dig up the roots, wash off the dirt, and chew them into a pulp, which can be applied to rat bites.

Catmint (or catnip) - A delicious-smelling, leafy plant that's hard to find in the wild; often found growing in Twoleg gardens. The best remedy for greencough.

Chervil - A sweet-smelling plant with large, spreading, fernlike leaves and small white flowers. The juice of the leaves can be used for infected wounds, and chewing the roots helps with bellyache.

Cobweb - Spiderwebs can be found all over the forest; be careful not to bring along the spider when you take the web! Medicine cats wrap it around an injury to soak up the blood and keep the wound clean.

Coltsfoot - A flowering plant, a bit like a dandelion, with yellow or white flowers. THe leaves can be chewed into a pulp, which is eaten to help shortness of breath.

Comfrey - Identifiable by its large leaves and smal bell-shaped flowers, which can be pink, white or purple. That fat black roots of this plant can be chewed into a poultice to mend broken bones or soothe wounds.

Dock - A plant similar to sorrel. The leaf can be chewed up and applied to soothe scratches and sore pads.

Dried Oak Leaf - Collected in the autumn and stored in a dry place. Stops infections.

Feverfew - A small bush with flowers like daisies. The leaves can be eaten to cool down body temperature, particularly for cats with fever or chills.

Goldenrod - A tall plant with bright yellow flowers. A poultice of this is terrific for healing wounds.

Honey - A sweet, golden liquid created by bees. Difficult to collect without getting stung, but great for soothing infections or the throats of cats who have breathed smoke.

Horsetail - A tall plant with bristly stems that grows in marshy areas. The leaves can be used to treat infected wounds. Usually chewed up and applied as a poultice.

Juniper Berries - A bush with spiky dark green leaves and purple berries. The berres soothe bellyaches and help cats who are having trouble breathing.

Lavender - A small purple flowering plant. Cures fever.

Marigold - A bright orange or yellow flower that grows low to the ground. The petals or leaves can be chewed into a pulp and applied as a poultice to wounds. Stops infection.

Mouse Bile - A bad-smelling liquid that is the only remedy for ticks. Dab a little moss soaked in bile on a tick and it'll fall right off. Wash paws thoroughly in running water afterward.

Poppy Seed - Small black seeds shaken from a dried poppy flower, these are fed to cats to help them sleep. Soothes cats suffering from shock an distress. Not recommended for nursing queens.

Stinging Nettle - The spiny green seeds can be administered to cats who have swallowed poison, while the leaves can be applied to a wound to bring down swelling.

Tansy - A strong-smelling plant with round yellow flowers. Good for curing coughs, but must be eaten in small doses.

Thyme - This herb can be eaten to calm anxiety and frayed nerves.

Watermint - A leafy green plant found in streams or damp earth. Usually chewed into a pulp and then fed to a cat suffering bellyache.

Wild Garlic - Rolling in a patch of wild garlic can help prevent infection, especially for dangerous wounds like rat bites.

Yarrow - A flowering plant whose leaves can be made into a poultice and applied to wounds or scratches to expel poison.

NEW MEDICINE CAT!!!!!

"All cats old enough to gather their own prey, please gather at the Great Boulder. Today we welcome a new medicine cat!!" Moonstar paused for a moment.

"Ripplestep, do you pledge your soul, spirit and loyalty to your clan, and promise to defend it with your life?" Moonstar's gaze was as clear as the afternoon sky.

"Yes," replied the cat, eyes sparkling like stars.

"StarClan, I call on you to welcome this cat into our clan, watch over her, and protect her." Moonstar looked down at the young cat. "StarClan speaks of your approval. From now on, you are a proud member of HawkClan. May StarClan light your path." The black and white leader leaped down from the Great Boulder to welcome the new medicine cat. "We will head to the Starpool tomorrow night."

New-Leaf and Some Changes

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down at the clan. "New-leaf is here!" she announced, her voice ringing throughout the mountain valley. "And....." she looked over at the medicine cat's den, her eyes drooping slightly, and her ears not as perky as before. "Loststep has left us. We will need a new medicine cat."

~Moonstar

A New Apprentice

Darkflame was padding through the stone yard, leaping from stone to stone. Suddenly, he sat up, ears pricked. He could hear a faint meowing in the distance. He quickly dashed towards the source of the sound, the rough rocks scraping his pads, but he didn't care. He came up to a stone and saw a snow-white cat huddled up against it. He looked at her. "What is your name?" he asked, quietly but firmly. "H-Holly," the she-cat stuttered. Darkflame sighed. "Want to come to the HawkClan camp?"

"All cats old enough to gather their own prey, please gather at the Great Boulder. Today we welcome a new apprentice into our clan - Hollypaw!! And-" Moonstar paused for a moment. "I will mentor her myself."

"Hollypaw, do you pledge your soul, spirit and loyalty to your clan, and promise to defend it with your life?" Moonstar's gaze was as clear as the afternoon sky.

"Yes," replied the young cat, eyes sparkling like stars.

"StarClan, I call on you to welcome this into our clan, watch over her, and protect her." Moonstar looked down at the young cat. "StarClan speaks of your approval. From now on, you are a proud member of HawkClan. May StarClan light your path." The black and white leader leaped down from the Great Boulder to touch noses with the new apprentice. Then she sat up and gazed over the clan. "Hollypaw! Hollypaw! Hollypaw!" they cheered.

New Medicine Cat....

Unless Loststep (Loststar) doesn't comment in one day, we will be in need of a new medicine cat. OK?

~Moonstar

Hunting Patrol

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder. Snowkit bounced up and down, this being his first experience in being somewhere so high. She looked down at the clan and opened her mouth. "Cats of HawkClan! These are the cats will be going on the evening hunting patrol, lead by Bluemoon!
-Stormsky
-Waterstorm
-Vivid
-Tigerwhisker
-Stormpaw
-Silverpaw
-Mistpaw
-Kestrelpaw
That is all!" Moonstar turned and padded off. Snowkit bounded down the rocks and watched the cats gather and get ready to head out.

February Gathering

Tonight there will be a February gathering. The following cats will come with Moonstar to share tongues with the other clans:
Darkflame
Loststep
Blackash
Bluemoon
Waterstorm
Vivid
Brightlegs
Spiritpaw
Sparrowpaw

(Note: There are two gatherings, and HawkClan will attend them both. But you can decide which ones you want to comment on.)

Prophecy on Hold

OK, the prophecy isn't going very well, so I'm going to stop it until we have more cats to sustain the camp without Moonstar and the other prophecy cats. This means that we will have to start all over when this happens. Sorry!

~Moonstar

Leader's Den

This is the leader's den, with some Spanish moss hanging in the entrance. This is where Moonstar (and Snowkit) sleep. It leads up to the Great Boulder.

Evening Patrol

Moonstar stood on the Great Boulder. "HawkClan warriors and apprentices!" she called. "Please listen to the list of cats who are going on the evening patrol tonight! These cats will be:
-Darkflame
-Blackash
-Me (Moonstar)
-Waterstorm
-Spiritpaw
-Firpaw
-Silverpaw
That is all!"

~Moonstar

Aspentail's Kits!

Aspentail will be having kits, the father is Blackash.

~

Blackash dashed into the clearing. "Aspentail's kits might be coming!" he yowled to the camp.

(If you want to help, please comment in the nursery.)

~

Aspentail is now the mother of 3 healthy kits. Goldenkit (female), Plumkit (male), and Wolfkit (also male).

The Yard, a Warrior and an Apprentice

Aspentail was padding through the stone yard peacefully, when she heard the sound of claw scrapes on the boulder behind her. She quickly turned around and instinctively slid out her claws. A calm voice sounded in front of her. "Hey! I come in peace." Aspentail looked up and saw a black tom standing there. She narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing here?" she demanded, but after thinking a while, she said, "That doesn't matter," and lead him to the camp.

~In the Camp~

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down at her clan. Aspentail and Bluemoon were chatting. Snowkit was running around with the other kits, Brightlegs trying to calm them down. She looked over at the camp entrance. As soon as Darkflame's patrol came back, she lifted her head and raised her voice. "Cats of HawkClan! Please gather below the Great Boulder for a clan meeting." Seeing her whole clan together, she couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Today we have yet another warrior joining our ranks. Please welcome–Blackash! He has already sworn his life and dedication to the clan." Moonstar paused and looked around. "And he will mentor Firkit."

Firkit, are you ready to serve your clan in any situation?"

Firkit's gaze was as clear as the sky. "Yes!" he exclaimed confidently.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I name you Firpaw, proud apprentice of Hawkclan and Blackash." Moonstar turned to Blackash. "Teach him all you know.

Blackash nodded solemnly and padded forward to touch Firpaw's nose with his own. Afterwards, he looked back up again. Moonstar nodded at the clan. "That is all!" She leaped down to the ground. Snowkit bounded forward. "Firpaw! Firpaw! Firpaw!" he squeaked.

The Forest.....

Moonstar was padding through the forest. It was near the end of leaf-bare, and a light rain had begun to fall. Her ears twitched as she heard a faint mewling sound in the distance. She turned to the source of the mewing. Moonstar was sure that it was nearby.....She looked around, and realized that she had ended up in the clearing. Moonstar padded towards a tree. "I'm sure the sound came from here...." her voice trailed off as she spotted a small kit, curled up like a shrimp in the hollow of the tree. Moonstar quickly scooped the shivering kit out. She gently laid him on the ground, rubbing his pelt to keep him warm. After a while, she stepped back and the kit stared up at her with its bright green eyes. Its brown pelt camouflaged with the brown of the ground. "What is your name?" Moonstar asked the startled kit. The kit looked up at her. "Snow," he said. "Snow."

~And Snowkit came to us

2 Elders

"All cats old enough to gather their own prey, please gather at the Great Boulder. Today we welcome two new cats into our clan - Rockmelt and Shiningeye!!"

"Rockmelt, do you pledge all your soul, spirit and loyalty to your clan, and promise to defend it with your life?" Moonstar's gaze was as clear as the blue sky.

"Yes," replied the old cat, eyes sparkling with knowledge.


"Shiningeye, do you pledge all your soul, spirit and loyalty to your clan, and promise to defend it with your life?"


"Yes," replied the other cat, eyes sparkling with knowledge.

"StarClan, I call on you to welcome these cats into our clan, watch over them, and protect them." Moonstar looked down at the two cats. "StarClan speaks of your approval. From now on, you are proud members of HawkClan. May StarClan light your paths." She looked up at the clan. "Please respect our new elders and be kind to them!" Then she turned and padded back away into her den, leaving the new cats to share tongues with the members of the clan.


(PS I will play Rockmelt; who wants to play Shiningeye? Rockmelt is a tom and Shiningeye is a she-cat)

~Slightly depressed, Moonstar

PS: For cats in the prophecy, being active in both blogs is necessary. Just pretend they are like two different blogs, because without the prophecy cats, HawkClan would just be a useless blog.

Prophecy Page

Right now, there is a page on this blog that keeps track of what is happening in the prophecy so far. Please keep visiting for more prophecy updates!!!

So the Prophecy Begins.....

Moonstar stood atop the Great Boulder and looked down proudly at her clan. Suddenly, she stumbled and slid down the rock.

(Note: I will post these on both blogs, but please comment about it on the prophecy blog if you are in the prophecy.)

Prophecy is Finally Starting :D

OK, since no one else would join the prophecy, I decided to make it only 4 people. Please check the prophecy blog every now and then!!!

~Moonstar

(Dawnflower, is it OK if I just put telekinesis for you now?)

Prophecy

OK, since everyone has agreed with prophecy three.....
Our leader has fallen ill with a mysterious sickness and it's up to the five destined cats to travel to the far away forest and find the herb that will cure her once and for all. The five cats will all have to have at least two special skills, but they cannot be too supernatural (like flying), or too extreme (like being able to run fast, swim fast, see far away, hear things from far away all at the same time). Things like seeing through things and reading minds, however, are allowed. Extreme characteristics that are physical are not permitted. Each cat who would like to join in the prophecy should put:

• Name
• Ranking
• Skills
