Weather:
Leaf-bare- The snow is relentless and heavy as it falls to the ground, covering the land in a thick coat of snow that makes it difficult to gather herbs or hunt efficiently. Be careful sending out the same cat in multiple patrols since they're very likely to catch a cold.

Lionstar was amazed at how quickly his clan began to grow once new members had been recruited from the local cats, especially with two Dappleclan females currently pregnant. His mind was already filled with imaginings of the kittens that would soon be underfoot.
He tried to tend to Snowfoot as much as he could. She was so shy sometimes, he wondered how he had ever ended up her mate. She was usually tired from the heat but now that the weather was cooling off, he saw that she tended to be tired in general, and it may have more to do with constitution than environment.
Frostwing and Feathercurl were absolutely delighted. Their little bundles of joy would be the first to arrive in this territory, so they'd have the added advantage of being the 'eldest sons and daughters' of the entire clan.
The two newest clan members were stirring up a little romance of their own. Mosslake was a stunning experienced queen with brilliant green eyes and a two-tone face. Ravenbones was a very small, although very tough, slim black cat with eyes that matches hers in brightness and intensity of color. The two flirted so often, clan members joked that they should have gone off and started their own clan, but neither of the two had much interest in power, though Ravenbones as prone to vengeful and mischevious moods.

He managed to kill two cats as well before going to Moonstone. There he asked Starclan to revive him and they said they would in exchange for the truth to be told and for a paw full of his lives. He agreed but did not keep his promise and did not tell a single cat the truth of what had happened.
The smell of smoke is in the distance from a camp fire that the two legs share in the meadow, currently the meadow is off limits as well as the abandoned horse pasture just beyond the meadow border.

stranger danger wrote:the four cats return to their camp, tired from their journey. lounging in their camp is a she-cat,
gracefully licking her fur as if no one entered. soon, she looked up, fear and defensiveness evident
in her eyes. "who are you?" she hisses, eyes landing on the group. craggstar
steps forwards, valiant as usual, and introduces himself softly. leopardrunner follows after, and then reluctantly,
twigpelt and briarhop introduce themselves as well. the she-cat's hackles lower, and she lets out a weary sigh.
"oh thank the gods - thought you'd all be some sort of murdering clan, you know?" she lets
out a weak laugh. humoring her, craggstar laughs with her. "uh, my name's honeywhisker," she finally
says, dipping her head. the rest of the clan repeats, and honeywhisker is accepted into the fold.
a few days later, whilst on patrol, honeywhisker scents something odd. "it's very..."
she struggles to find the words. "robust," she finishes her report in craggstar's prescense,
and the leader nods. "right," he answers, deep in thought. "mountain lions?" he asks his deputy,
who was sitting in the corner of the rocky den, eyes narrowed to slits. "maybe," answers the savannah tom.
another day or so later, honestclan awakes to a hulking figure lounging in their camp, gracefully licking their paw. they look up,
and greet craggstar with a toothy smile. "good morn', clanners. i am azrael, the messenger of the lions." they say, dipping their head to
craggstar, he dips his head as well, awed by the creature in front of him. "i come bearing gifts, you'll
find them at the edge of your western territory. enjoy it." with that, the lion stands and exits, leaping over the rocky
mountain edge. briarhop follows to the edge giddily, watching as he sped away.
"maybe we should check it out," comments leopardrunner, that afternoon, whilst on patrol
with honeywhisker and briarhop. "and walk straight into a deathtrap? yeah, no thanks," honeywhisker
snarks, scenting a tree. briarhop rolls her eyes and gives leopardrunner a sweet smile. "don't listen to
her, leopard. i think it's a wonderful idea," she purrs, brushing their pelts together. leopardrunner's pelt grows
hot when the other she-cat's whiskers twitch and she fights back the urge to laugh. clearing his throat, the deputy pushes forwards.
