Moon 1:

<< Previous | Next >>

The first moon is spent gathering herbs and hunting prey, feeling out the lines of Deepclans newfound territory. Upon the first gathering, Spiderstar has been introduced to the surrounding clans, getting a full view of whom may be friend or foe. First they meet Bleakclan, a small and odd clan, but mellow. Then Flashclan, a slightly larger, more menacing clan, that seems to be piloted by the strangest of bloodthirsty behavior. And finally they meet Doeclan, a gracious but mite clan.

During the gathering, a terrifyingly old medicine cat from Doeclan who refused to identify themself, warned Spiderstar that there is something sinister beneath the earth. If there is any hope to escape its depths they must become strong, or leave, lest they succumb to its influence. He brushed them off, but is shaken by their words.

Moon 4, pt.2:

First <<Previous | Next>>

Spiderstar finally met the day when his confidence became the death of him. Despite Ryeflows warnings of the strange dog, Spiderstar went on patrol alone in the early morning.

He encountered a dog that seemed covered in filth, smelling of something putrid and earthy. It was relentless, but oddly enough upon his death it stood up straight, and simply left him to drag himself home.

He has to hope that the darkness in the forest has taken what it desired from him, and that his clan will be left alone.

At the gathering this moon, he sought out that medicine cat who warned him about the land at the first gathering- but they were nowhere to be found.

Fawnkit follows right after his brother in apprenticeship, now known as Fawnpaw. He's apprenticed to Dovepelt, training to become a mediator!

Spiderstar welcomes the calm of this month, finally fully settling into their home. He almost has the mind to dismiss what that medicine cat from BleakClan had said- the land seems healthy and plentiful this Greenleaf, how could it possibly be a corrupting force?

He watches how his clan grows this past month, pleased with its progress and hopeful for the future.

Moon 5:

First <<Previous | Next>>

Leaf fall is on the horizon, and DeepClan does their best to shake off the events of the past moon.

Everyone is uneasy, but still hopeful for the future, gathering herbs and catching prey while the trees are still green. Fawnpaw and Figpaw train diligently under their respective mentors Dovepelt and Rowanstem, hoping to serve their clan in these uncertain times.

Moon 4, pt. 1:

First <<Previous | Next>>

Early on this moon, Ryeflow saw a strange dog while on patrol with Oakgaze- rather afraid of dogs, she was the first to call that they turn around, as to not catch its attention. On their way back home, Oakgaze got tangled up in some rather persistent roots, and dislocated her leg, having to struggle back home while leaning on Ryeflow.

When they returned to camp, Ryeflow was insistent that this was no normal dog. She was gently dismissed by Spiderstar, who is far more concerned about the injured warrior than any 'strange' dog.

Moon 2:

Deepclan continues to settle into their new home. Oakgaze's kits grow fast, Figkit graduating to Figpaw, apprenticing under Rowanstem, due to his affinity with her- not to mention he was practically apprenticed to her already with how much he helps her deliver herbs around camp. Figpaws little brother, Fawnkit, is not far behind.

Tensions seem high with FlashClan, while Ryeflow and Oakgaze were patrolling the border, a FlashClan member taunted Ryeflow, causing her to hurl insults right back. If Oakgaze wasn't there, it would have most certainly been a full blown fight.
