OceanClan
"Greetings, I'm ...

"Greetings, I'm Oceanstar. This is my Clan, a Clan on an island in the ocean!" She walked across a tree bridge onto an island. Oceanstar walked through a tunnel of low hanging trees and entered a large island. "This is our territory. We are water cats, we love to swim and fish. I will give you a tour of the camp, but if you join, I will give a tour of our territory." She walked into a small forest of trees into a clearing. "This is our camp. The big stone at the far end is the High Stone. That is where I call Clan meetings. That hollow tree trunk over there is the apprentices den. There is another tree trunk, a smaller one, inside the trunk, that is kind of like a table that the apprentices eat at and share tongues." They continued their tour at the nursery, where there was a faint scent of milk and kits. "My sister once was living here. She died last moon, with her kits." Oceanstar became to sniffle, but stopped, "We must continue with the tour. Let's go to the warriors den." They walked towards a clump of brambles. "This is the warriors den. I used to be sleeping here, until a StarClan cat told me to go to the moon rock. The moon rock is kind of like the moonpool, but it's a rock on a part of the beach. Let's carry on at the elders den. It is a bush of brambles with a branch ceiling. Let's go to the medicine cat's den." They walked into a large rock with a crack in it. "The crack leads towards a small cave with two tunnels leading out of it. One of the tunnels leads towards the main and the med. apprentice's  den, and the other one leads towards the herb store. The small clearing when you first walk in is where the sick cats stay. It's also where the water spring is. I'm going to show you my den, alright? Let's go!" Behind the High Stone is a cave covered with sand as a floor. "The cave is my den, but it isn't hidden from the rest of the Clan. That is my Clan, and I hope you will join. Why don't you get some fresh-kill, and I will show you to your den. Thank you, and may StarClan be with you!"

"Greetings, Oceanstar. I am Falconpaw, a young dark brown she-cat with black stripes. My father was a clan cat, and my mother was a rogue. They both died in a badger attack two moons ago, when I was only four moons old. The memory is like a thorn stuck in my heart. It was their greatest wish that I find a clan to join. I think OceanClan is the best choice because I am a very strong swimmer and I don't really mind salty water. I will make a very hardworking, energetic, and funny apprentice. Could I join?"

"Of course you may join! I'm sorry about your parents, but you will be welcome here, and we will always treat you as your family! Come with me, into the main clearing."

She led her into the clearing and jumped onto the High Stone to call a Clan meeting.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here under the High Stone for a Clan meeting!!"

"By making apprentices we show that OceanClan will survive and remain strong."

"From this moment on, until she has earned her warrior name, this apprentice will continue to be known as Falconpaw."

"Because we have a shortage of warriors, I will be a mentor to Falconpaw." Oceanstar jumped down from High Stone and rested her muzzle on Falconpaw's head. She licked her shoulder respectively, and went to sit down with Summerberry and Fireflight.

"Falconpaw, you will come with me to do a hunting patrol. Then I will teach you basic fighting moves." She lead her new apprentice out of the clearing. "Since your father was a Clan cat, tell me what you know about catching mice."

"Fireflight, I guess you could go gather some herbs, and you can help sort them when you come back. I need you to get some cobwebs, yarrow, and poppyseeds."

"Ok Summerberry" she meowed. Then she walked out of camp. "Hmm lets see first i need to find some yarrow." She tasted the air. "I smell some at the border." she meowed. Then she collected a mouthful of yarrow. As she walked towards camp she found a branch of poppy seeds. "Good, now all i need is some cobwebs. Oh here i found some!" she meowed as she collected them and went back to camp to show Summerberry.

"Falconpaw, come with me into the forest and I'll teach you how to catch mice." She ed the way until she saw a mouse cracking a nut. She checked to make sure she was down wind, and slid up to the mouse. Oceanstar put her paws down carefully, for mice can feel before they hear. When she was a tail-length away, she pounced, landing directly on the mouse's shoulders. "Nice catch!" Falconpaw meowed. "Thanks, but now you try it on this leaf. Put your paws down as light as you can, keep your tail just above the ground, and always make sure you are downwind. You can try it." Falconpaw did as she was told, and caught the 'mouse' perfectly. "Wonderful! Now let's try it on a real mouse!" Soon there was 2 more mice to add the Oceanstar's, and they had moved to the pond to catch fish. "Okay, the thing with fish is that once you catch one, all the others know that they're being hunted. Stand at the edge of the pond, make sure your shadow doesn't go in the pond, and flick your paw in the water like this." She demonstrated it in the air, and pretended to flick a fish up in the air, grab it in her jaws, and deliver the killing bite. "Now try it on a real fish." Again, Falconpaw did a wonderful job, and they returned to camp with 3 mice, 2 fish, and a young black-bird that Falconpaw decided to try the fish flick on and had surprisingly worked.

"Wow! That was great! I can't wait to go hunting again! Thanks Oceanstar!" Falconpaw walked over to the fresh kill pile that Oceanstar had pointed out to her and dropped her fresh blackbird and mice.

"Oh, um, by the way," Falconpaw nervously meowed, "I thought I smelled a fox hole as we were running back. I'm not sure, though. Do you think we should check it out? It's by a huge thistle bush. Which reminds me, I got a thorn stuck in my paw. It's starting to sting badly." Falconpaw winced in pain, then spotted Summerberry padding nearby. "Could you try to get it out?" Falconpaw asked, hopping over to the medicine cat.

"Good observation, Falconpaw. I will go and check it out tomorrow." 

 

(If anyone here doesn't have too many characters already, can you please make more cats or something? I already have way too much characters, and if you don't believe me, I can post my alliances!!)

"Greetings! I am Whispertide, a gray tom with white paws. I've met Falconpaw before, and was her traveling companion for a while after her parents died." Whispertide nodded to Falconpaw, who flicked her tail in a happy response.

"I am a strong warrior, and I can fish and hunt very well," Whispertide continued. "Could I be your deputy?"

From a distance, Falconpaw spotted a cat crossing the tree bridge onto the island. Falconpaw bounded off to tell Oceanstar.

 

The newcomer approached the camp. She was a creamy colored she-cat with patches of brown and vibrant green eyes. Her tummy was round with kits.

"Greetings, Oceanstar," she meowed, approaching the leader and nodding her head. "I am Clovertail. I traveled with Whispertide to the camp. I let him run ahead. As you can probably see, my kits are almost here. Could I join OceanClan as a queen?"

"All of you, you may all join! Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here under the High Stone to here what I have to tell you!!" She yowled as she jumped onto the big rock. "Whispertide will be the new deputy!!" The small but growing Clan cheered his name as she licked Oceanstar's shoulder respectfully. "Yarrowpaw, you will be an apprentice to Whispertide!" The Clan cheered her name as she licked Oceanstar's shoulder. "And Clovertail will be joining us as a queen!" The Clan departed and Oceanstar told Falconpaw that tomorrow she will have the day off.

CAPTCHA: caro, kinda like the Spanish word for car, carro. I think....

"Clovertail, do you need any herbs? I can give you some raspberry leaves if you want."

"Yes please, that sounds great. I'm no medicine cat, but I think my kits will be here soon, maybe in a quarter moon. What do you think?"

submitted by Clovertail
(May 2, 2010 - 10:40 am)

"Yes, I agree so. Here are the herbs." She set down 3 raspberry leaves for Clovertail.
