Moon 208-Greenleaf

Whelp, that streak of good luck ended. The greenleaf rains hit hard, and, being underground, the camp is prone to flooding. ElementClan also doesn’t have many water-blessed cats (only Cilantro-69-and Silverpsots-26), so they are at a serious disadvantage if their were to cave flood. Which, of course, it did. Lightheather (25) was the first one to sound the alarm that the waters were rising. In the aftermath, he can’t help but wonder if tragedy would have been prevented had he had acted sooner. The nursery, where Cypressbadger (74), Cilantro, and the kits were hanging out, was hit hard. Lotuskit (4) and Rubblekit (4) didn’t know how to swim. Cypressbadger was able to get Rubblekit out, but, when she went back to try and help Cilantro and Lotuskit, she found that Cilantro had hit her head on a treebranch, sinking to the bottom of the cavern with Lotuskit in tow. Cypressbadger tried to save them, but was unable to and drowned as well. Fry (114) helped Chiku (142) to safety. He regretted that he never had the chance to confess his feelings before he succumbed to the waves. Timberarch (125) tried to help Tornflake (35) and Glowquake (44), both of whom were injured, to safety, but the waves took all three of them. After the floodwaters recede, Chiku lies next to Fry’s body as the Clan sits vigil for him. His world has ended with Fry’s. Chiku never considered the possibility that he would one day be without Fry and wishes that they had had more time together. Primcrest (50) and Wildcave (91) are devastated by the loss of their father. Primcrest wails when she sees Fry’s body, laying still and cold. If she were more talented with her water magic, could she have saved him? Once the vigil ends, Primcrest curls tightly in her nest, her throat raw from crying. For Wildcave, Fry was his last tie to his life before the Clan. Losing him feels like losing a tail, or a limb, or his shadow. Wildcave relied on Fry, trusted him, and contemplating moving on from the loss seems impossible. He and Primcrest hold each other close, taking comfort in their sibling bond. Primcrest also lost Glowquake, which tears at her. Primcrest takes comfort in Rubblekit. Despite they’re rocky start, he reminds her a lot of Cragpaw. Then there’s Frecklestone (35), who lost her only surviving family member. And little Rubblekit, who lost his mom. He doesn’t really understand what happened, so Creekstar (62) tries to explain it to him. It’s hard. She can’t help but blame herself for how the Clan is faring. How could she do better? The Clan has known so much loss. Will it never end?

Moon 207-Greenleaf

Safariaster (114) is taking a turn entertaining Rubblekit (3) and Lotuskit (3) by telling them stories of the Betrayal of the Ravens. They’re fascinated and between the two of them they make a little whirl-wind of raven feathers. Primcrest (49) has discovered that she does enjoy having kits in the Clan. She sees Lotuskit and makes sure to say hi to her. She does still miss Cragpaw, though. Glowquake (43), being confined to the healer's den with an infection in his broken leg, is also entertaining the kits. Lotuskit shows him how she can jump really high using a gust of wind. And then steals a feather from Frecklestone (34). She is not happy. Since she was the one to bring Lotuskit back to camp. Cilantro (68) has found herself quite attached to her. She spends most of the afternoon describing the territory to Lotuskit and pretends not to notice when she sticks the feather she stole from Frecklestone to her face. Meanwhile, Queenyspeckle (83) feels like Creekstar (61) doesn’t do anywhere near as much as she should. He doesn’t want the position of leader, but he thinks that some other cat might do it better. Maybe she should retire and let Primcrest take her place. Some members of the Clan think that, since Queenyspeckle is star-blessed, he should be leader, including Xhosa (75), who feels more at home with the other former loners than she does with the other Clan cats. She compliments Queenyspeckle and wants to befriend him. Meanwhile, Creekstar is just glad that the Clan is finally growing instead of shrinking. It’s nice to have kits playing again. Fry (114) has decided that, next moon, he’s ready to confess his feelings to Chiku (141). Primcrest and Wildcave (90) are glad that he’s finally going to do it, but it makes him nervous.
