Info
- Clans:
There are 5 clans - ThunderClan, RiverClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and SkyClan,and each clan has its own strong point. ThunderClan's is hunting, RiverClan's is swimming, WindClan's is running, ShadowClan's is fighting, and SkyClan's is jumping and climbing. Each clan has its own territory, and all clans share borders with two other clans. Each clan has a camp where they live, where the dens are. Maps to come. Stay on your own cat's territory until maps are up.

-Roles:
Leader: The leader usually has a mate, and must be a warrior. His or her name will be changed by StarClan (the cats in the cat heaven) to have the suffix 'star, e.g. Snowkit becomes Snowpaw, then Snowbird, then Snowstar. The leader is given nine lives by StarClan. If the leader loses their last of their nine lives, the deputy becomes leader, travels to the Moonpool, and recieves nine lives from StarClan.

Sleeps in the leader's den.
THERE IS ONLY ONE LEADER IN EACH CLAN.

Deputy: the second in command. To be deputy, a cat must be a warrior and have had at least one apprentice. May or may not have a mate. In the event that both deputy and leader are killed (go to StarClan) or the deputy retires or steps down, StarClan will speak through the medicine cat to appoint a new leader and \ or deputy. The deputy is responsible for sending out patrols of warriors in the morning, afternoon, and evening to check and mark the borders and hunt for prey to feed the rest of the clan.

Sleeps in the warriors' den.
THERE IS ONLY ONE DEPUTY IN EACH CLAN.

Warrior: a cat becomes a warrior once he or she passes their assessment and receives their warrior name (like the example above, Snowkit(kit) becomes Snowpaw(apprentice) then Snowbird(warrior). May or may not have a mate.

Sleeps in the warriors' den.
WARRIORS ARE UNLIMITED.

Medicine Cat: the medicine cat is the clan's healer. This cat knows the uses of many herbs, such as marigold for scratches and bites, chervil for bellyaches, and dock for sore paws. Medicine cats do not take mates. When a medicine cat gets to about 5 years old, he or she takes on an apprentice to train to be the next medicine cat. Medicine cats from all 5 clans meet at the Moonpool at half-moon.

Apprentice: these cats are apprenticed to a warrior by the leader at 6 moons old; their mentor is responsible for teaching them to hunt, fight, and be good warriors for their clan. Name suffix: 'paw (eg Snowpaw.) When ready, warrior apprentices are assessed by their mentors and if they pass, the leader holds a ceremony to give them their warrior names. When an apprentice chooses, he or she can speak to the medicine cat and ask to become their apprentice, at which time the medicine cat will speak to the leader and get it approved. When the medicine cat apprentice is ready, the senior medicine cat will give them their full name in a ceremony at the Moonpool.

Warrior apprentices sleep in the apprentices' den, medicine cat apprentices sleep in the medicine den.

it wont let me quote, but this is for the kits.
As they padded out, Moonglow padded in, exclaiming, "wow, these nests look gr- what is THAT?!"
Alerted the kits ran back into the den, which was now being taken over, by a plant. The plant was taller than even Moonglow, but the biggest concern was for Shimmerkit, because it was the plant that had grown with her paw! It had almost destroyed the whole den, and seeing this, Shimmerkit thought, no one can know this was my fault! All three cats stood there panic struck at the sight of the huge plant, which was still growing with Shimmerkits fear.

The kits were shocked, just staring at Stonekit, and trying to process what he just said. Suddenly Dawnkit started jumping around.
“We have powers! Were the coolest kits in the clans!” She shrieked, ecstatic. Suddenly, they heard a loud crack…
“What was that?” Said Shimmerkit cautiously.
The other kits shrugged, and another crack came, scaring them. Suddenly the open half of the log collapsed, and they were thrust into darkness.
The kits immediately began crying out for help, but no one noticed. After a few minutes of freaking out, Shimmerkit yelled,
“Stop it. They obviously won’t save us, we are going to have to save ourselves. Now let’s actually think. How do we get out?”
“Well, we could try digging!” Suggested Dawnkit. “We have webbed paws, it would scoop out dirt good!”
The others nodded and began digging..
“This is getting us no where!” Cried out Stonekit. “We need to think of something else.”
“Wait. What if we used our powers?” Suggested Dawnkit again.
“But we can’t control them yet. We don’t know how. What if we hurt someone?” Countered Shimmerkit.
“I agree with Dawnkit.” Meowed Stonekit. “That or we die alone in this log.”
Shimmerkit sighed, giving in.
Stonekit focused really hard, demanding for the collapsed wood to move. He wished and focused so hard his head began to hurt, and he began to shake. But a moment later, so did the wood. It shook, barely vibrating at first, but the shaking becoming increasingly more visible.
“It’s working,” whispered Dawnkit in awe. The sticks were now visibly moving, and a second later, they exploded outwards, freeing the kits. They ran out, relieved to be free, and shocked with what they know, and what Stonekit did. Suddenly Shimmerkit had an idea…
“Guys… you know how Peonypaw knew how we were about to go to the stream? Basically, predicting the future? What if… what if she has powers too?” Asked Shimmerkit.
“ oh your so right! We are going to be like a team of cats!” Agreed Dawnkit.
“Why don’t we ask her tomorrow? And we can tell her what I heard. But now let’s get to bed..” mewed Stonekit.
THE NEXT MORNING
The kits ran to the apprentice den, early in the morning, hoping to catch Peonypaw before she went out, but Moonglow was already talking to her!
“Moonglow? Could we talk to Peonypaw?” Meowed Dawnkit importantly.
“Actually, I think we all need to talk to each other… about this power situation.”

TO BE CONTINUED…..

The kits all sat down, shuffling their paws nervously.

“You do realize how incredibly dangerous this is, don’t you? This isn’t some game, Starclan is giving you powers for a reason.. for what, i don’t know yet.” Moonglow said with a hint of nervousness.

“Yes.. we know” said Shimmerkit

“It doesn’t seem like you do. Peonypaw was telling me you wanted to go to the river to find out Dawnkits power”

“Well.. it didn’t seem like a bad idea” dawnkit squeaked

”My point is, this is to be taken seriously. You‘re only kits. And Peonypaw.. you’re power is the most concerning..”

The kits lowered their head under Moonglows firm gaze, but she softened it, not meaning to come off as rude.

”Well, what are your powers?”

“I suppose.. seeing the future. Or, glimpses of it anyway” Peonypaw meowed

”I think growing plants..” Shimmerkit said

”Moving objects with my mind” replied Stonekit

Moonglow turned her gaze to Dawnkit, waiting for a response

”I.. haven’t gotten mine yet” she said

”I’m sure you will soon.“ Moonglow rested her tail tip on her shoulder as a form of comfort, but even Dawnkit could see she was concerned with something much deeper, and Peonypaw had the same grim expression

Fernpaw dropped his minnow on the pile and chose a sizable mouse. The river hadn't been very generous today, he thought as he stared at the meager selection of fish and 'forest prey'.
He carried the mouse over to the apprentice's den and sat by the entrace in a patch of sun. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a pretty she-cat walking past him... Shimmerpaw, he remembered from her apprentice ceremony.
"Hey, Shimmerpaw!" he called suddenly, inwardly berating himself. "Want to share a mouse with me?"

Stonekit noticed Fernpaw and grinned, padding over to pass him,
"PLEASE do, keep her away from Bushpaw. I have a bad feeling about him.." he muttered quietly, passing by. Then he crept to where Peonypaw was sitting. "Mind if i join you? I have a trout we could share!" he purred, knowing how much she loved trout.
"Sure!" Peonypaw purred back, and he crouched next to her, licking her ear....
@Chicken poppy how does she react?

Birchpool inhaled the fishy scents of the lake and hoped she'd find chervil. SkyClan only had a small sliver of lake territory, but it was precious. The only place where chervil grew, and a constant source of water. She had discovered a good source of watermint a moon ago, but she would need to transplant some so that it didn't die in leafbare. She drew the scents over her tongue... mallow... and thyme... and chervil! She lashed her tail excitedly and kept breathing the sweet, herby smell. Clamping her jaws around the green shoots, she tugged it up and... paused.
ThunderClan scent.
She had strayed onto ThunderClan territory.
Oh, StarClan!

(I was thinking to have Peonypaw forsee something bad happen with the powers, like from the other clan. Like a cat trying to sabotage them)

Obviously not related to Fernpaw but Dawnpaw overheard the conversation and could assume.

Does something like this sound cool?
