Future story in the making: Troutstorm coming to the Dark Forest to find and apologize to Ripperclaw, and to sort of thank and sort of argue with Claudrat because while he turned his brother into a murderer Claudrat gave him a better family than Troutstorm ever could.

Also, Limpetsong's parents absolutely cross over to regularly visit.

Cloudydusk: "Well they did kind of deser-"

Blizzardeye: "Babe please I don't want to be trapped here forever, no offense Limpetsong"

Limpetsong: "None taken...." *sniffles* *about to cry because his parents are here*

Some of my ocs and their name reasons.

Antwave - His biological parents (/neg) gave him his prefix to remind him that “All of us are small and nothing compared to StarClan. He got his suffix because his presence had made waves in the WhistleWhisperClan (WhisperClan and WhistleClan function like a united states of two) and PartridgeClan relations, but the WhistleClan leader regretted nothing.

Breezefleck - Silentbrook, in the time before his death and after Flightcry discovered his allegiance to the legacy, felt like he was becoming more isolated. He gave his kits some interesting names. His suffix came from his pelt.

Cavecrawl - His parents had their nest under an overpass, which BayClan calls a ‘monster tunnel.’ In an incident which led to him getting his warrior name early, a group of apprentices went to explore some tunnels on the outskirts of BayClan territory. The entrance collapsed, and Cavepaw led the group back aboveground.

Coyotehoot - He had markings like a coyote that had attacked his mother when she was younger, and he caught an owl for his warrior assessment.

Firefeather - She had a bright orange pelt, and she was always good at the DayClan specific duties of a medicine cat. Dictating what prey should be left alone because it’s their mating season, predicting the storms, spotting sharks.

Goldenrue - He had golden speckles on his fur, and ‘rue’ was the favorite plant of his parents, and Driftstar, his father, gave him his warrior name.

Larkscar - His fur felt a bit like feathers, and he got a scar in a fight with a hawk as an apprentice.

Limpetsong - The name was given by his mother, Cloudydusk, after Blizzardeye told her a story about the sun-drown place. His suffix was given by his suggestion, he wanted to be named after Snipvoice, and with a little manipulation by a newly dead Ripperclaw, the leader gave him the song suffix.

Wrathscale/Caimanscale - His attitude was just like a pissed-off caiman, and he brought a caiman’s scale to camp to try and prove that he should be made a warrior early. The scale was given to him by his father.

oh this is so cool!

That's a really interesting story for Cavecrawl, and Firefeather sounds really cool!

I'll make sure to add them to the refs when I get the chance

Cloudydusk (limpetsong bio mom) meets Fernpaw in StarClan, sort of adopts her, and follows her into the Dark Forest

Come Here Whenever (short story)

“Cursekit! Cursekit! Cursekit!” 

Limpetkit sobbed into his nest. The other kits had been particularly bad lately. Calling him names, mocking him for not having parents, they were the worst. 

He whimpering into his nest for a long time, until a paw gently rest on his shoulder. 

“Hello,” a quiet voice said right next to him. “Are you hurt?” 

Limpetkit shook his head, still crying. 

“That’s good. But why are you crying?” He looked up, meeting the eyes of a cat he had never seen before. He was a grey tom, with a soft smile on their face. 

“F….Flig….” He whimpered, while the grey tom waited patiently. “Flightkit was really mean! He said that my parents aren’t here because I was a curse! And then Swampkit agreed with him, and Heatherkit called me a mouse-brain!” Limpetkit kept going on, and on, and the grey tom waited. 

“Well that isn’t good.” The grey tom said. “They were very rude to you, from how it sounds. Were you not able to tell a fully grown cat?” 

Limpetkit shook his head. “M…Mousestar always said I can’t be trusted….he’s the leader….why should anyone else think different…” 

The grey tom stiffened. “The leader said that? That’s very wrong, Mousestar should absolutely not have said that.” 

Limpetkit looked up with a hopeful gaze. “…Really?” 

“Yes, really. Limpetkit, was it? You can come here whenever. You can even meet some of my friends.”

Snipvoice after this: CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? THAT SPEEDING PILE OF HAWK SHIT

Claudrat: 0_0

[incorrect-quotes-of-the-df]

Limpetsong: I think it’s time I get my life in order. Firefeather, narrating: But they did not get their life in order. In fact, they got drunk last night and fought a raccoon.

Story: 

Limpetkit never had a father. Eventually, he lost his mother as well. But he still had dreams. They were pretty dreams! He dreamt of a nice and safe forest, and even of friends! A grey cat who also didn't have a dad! A black and white cat who was really funny! When the other kits began calling him Cursekit, the grey cat comforted him while he cried. 

Mousestar, the leader, said that kits like him needed to be watched closely, and so took Limpetpaw as his own apprentice. And he wasn't half bad! But there was barely any fighting. Mousestar always made excuses. So, Limpetpaw asked the grey cat to teach him. 

The funny one would sometimes watch, and sometimes join! Teaching Limpetpaw how to negotiate, and what to say to different cats. How to ask someone out if he wanted to (he didn't, he was cool with that), how to break off a friendship, and most importantly, how to tell and keep secrets. The grey cat taught him the best fighting moves, how to fix his face, and how to see emotions! 

Mousestar made him a warrior late, a few moons after the other kits around his age became warriors. 

One night, at a gathering, the deputy of WindClan had some important news. WindClan and ShadowClan had a strong alliance back then, so Limpetsong agreed. Blizzardeye wanted to meet that night on the WindClan border. Through tears, Blizzardeye told him the story of how he fell in love with a beautiful ShadowClan cat, only for them to break apart when he became deputy. After that, he never saw her again. In his dreams, a bright orange cat revealed that he had a son. 

Limpetsong was Half-Clan. 

He went rigid. 

Cold. 

Keeping anger out of his face, he smiled. When he returned, he knew what to do. The next night, when he came to the place that was more of a home then ShadowClan had ever been, the grey cat told him the other half of the story. He told him how Burningtree saw his mother with Blizzardeye, how Mousestar exiled her, and how Stemsky drove her away....How Cloudydusk was dead. 

Limpetsong started his vengeance. 

Hey. Splashface. I saw Burningtree meet with this weird brown she-cat...

Yes, I'm sure it wasn't a ShadowClan cat. 

No, I'm not saying this just because Stemsky's apprentice died, how sad. 

They were on a patrol together? She just collapsed? Well, that sounds...no, he wouldn't. 

It's nothing, but...do you think that Stemsky would've... It all makes too much sense. 

No, you're right. We have to get rid of him. 

Mousestar's been sort of lazy, lately. He hasn't been on many patrols. He is getting old... 

The night before his death, the two cats he had spent so much time with finally revealed themselves. The Follower, and The Adder. He...he trusted them. He trusted them. And yet....

Snipvoice had been kinder to him than any ShadowClan cat had been. Finally confronting Mousestar the next day, he shouted for an explanation. But he wouldn't listen. 

The second Mousestar began slandering Cloudydusk, saying that she had shirked her duties for her WindClan mate, Limpetsong leapt. 

But Mousestar was quicker. 

Additional Information: 

--Submission by @frightnightindustries​ (SORRY IT TOOK ME SO LONG)

--The bright orange cat was Fizz! The RiverClan former rogue who organized the defeat of Claudrat. 

--Blizzardeye would've taken good care of Limpetsong, and was horrified when he heard what he had done. He didn't really want kits, but he would've wanted to be responsible for his actions. 

--Cloudydusk was sort of self centered, and didn't have a good reputation. That was the last straw for ShadowClan, who chased her out after she gave birth and revealed it was a Half-WindClan kit. She died alone, outside of the territory. 

--Claudrat and Snipvoice were given those names because of the reputation outside the Clans, which came about because of RiverClan's involvement.
