Pigeonspot from Streamclan in ROTC!

Sadly, just before her apprentice ceremony, Slipkit (6) died of kittencough.  It just affirms some cats’ belief that powerless cats are inherently weaker than powered ones. With the loss of their sister hanging over them, her siblings are made apprentices.  In a bit of an unorthodox move, Volcanoblossom (78) is mentoring Whistlepaw (6) herself.  Their similar power levels should help her train her kit more effectively.  Due to the lack of other water-blessed warriors, Yuccastar (130) has decided to train Rockypaw (6) themself.  He hasn’t expressed interest in being a mediator, so she is the only logical choice for his mentor.  In other Clan news, Wildcave (34) and Rustsong (20) have become mates!  While talking with Frostheart (54), Creekkit (5) almost lets slip that she’s dark-cursed.  She manages to avoid it.  But she wishes she didn’t have to and she could just tell some cat.  Pigeonspot (20) decides to take her complaints about Wildcave all the way to the leader.  She complains about only getting to go on hunting patrols, but Yuccastar insists that is all that she can do as an earth-blessed cat.  It’s not like her skills are useful in battle.  This does not help the situation and just leaves Pigeonspot feeling resentful towards most of ElementClan’s leadership.

Poolbounce (20)  just can’t stop adopting kits.  This time, he adopted two kits a loner left to the Clan.  Both of them are water-blessed, which Creekstar (38) is grateful for.  At least one of them will become a mediator.  It’ll be nice to have one again.  The little girl, Swiftkit (2), loves using her water-blessing to get into trouble.  She uses it to make the splashes from puddles even bigger to drench one of Poolbounce’s other kits, Robinkit (1).  He’s not a fan of getting doused with water, and the most his fire-blessing can do is warm him up a little bit.  The other kit, Silverkit (2), makes quite a team with Swiftkit.  Sometimes the two of them will make a wave that completely drenches the nursery.  How fun.   Lightkit (1) seems to be getting along better with Silverkit and Swiftkit than his bio brother.  He has a fun time joking around with Silverkit.  Robinkit is excited to escape his splashing tormentors and dreams about becoming a warrior.  In other family relationships, Gladepatch (60) is feeling a little defensive of his daughter after she got rejected by Wildcave (67).  He doesn’t think the other tom is being completely honest with Creekstar about his feelings.  Pigeonspot’s (53) efforts to get along with Sleepyfoot’s (50) older kits seem to be going well, at least with Astertwist (20).  She appreciates the advice the young Healer gives her.  She’s also been spending time with her younger bio son, Elmroot (14) and wants to explore the whole territory with him.  Primcrest feels the need to keep all of her skills sharp and challenges Elmroot to spar with her.  Frecklepaw (11) is enjoying her Healer training, particularly the parts where she gets to hang out with the elder, Peakspots (153).  She promises she’ll always take care of him. Tornpaw (11) is working hard at developing fighting techniques that take advantage of his disability.  He’s determined that he’ll be just as skilled in battle as any able-bodied fire-blessed cat!

The Clan is adjusting to having a dark-cursed cat as its leader once more.  Creekstar (14) is young and has never had an apprentice, but she and Fry (67) work well together so far.  Chervilcry (139) and Peakspots (129) are the only cats in the Clan who remember a time before Yuccawillow was their leader.  Peakspots remembers how strong the Clan was with his mom at its head, and Chervilcry agonizes over how leadership changed her sibling.  Will it change Creekstar too?  Peakspots feels like he  never truly knew his mate.  How could they do that?  Kill their Clanmates? In light of the last moon’s revelations, he has decided that they are no longer his mate.  The kits, despite being young, have picked up on the mood in the Clan.  Riftkit (1) is trying to cheer up Peakspots by sharing his prey with him.  But Brightkit (2) cares less about cheering up the elder.  She steals a feather from him and destroys it when he tries to get it back.  Daisykit (1)  really likes hanging out with Chervilcry and makes sure to ask how the old mediator is doing.  Primkit (2) knows that it was something she did that got Yuccawillow exiled.  She’s just not sure what.  She wants to sneak out of camp with Chiku (94) to go find the former leader, but Chiku stops her.  He explains that Yuccawillow probably would have hurt her because of her powers.  That’s why it’s good that Creekstar’s in charge now.  While Creekstar has risen to the place she belongs, Pigeonspot (29) is feeling a little out of place in the Clan.  She’s the only earth-blessed warrior and she can’t seem to find a place in the Clan like Rustsong (29) did.  She stares longingly at the cats sharing tongues in the cavern and wishes she had someone she felt comfortable doing that with.  The nursery has a bit of a scare when Goldenkit (2) rushes at Primkit on a wave of water.  Thankfully, Primkit lashes out with fire and not something darker. . .Amethystdapple (87) and Fry are a little intimidated, and Creekstar takes both kits aside and teaches them about the importance of control.  They’re both a little shaken, but otherwise unharmed.

With both their mates dead, father and son Wildcave (66) and Fry (90) have decided to move on.  Creekstar (37) decides to seize on the fact that Wildcave is ‘newly’ single and confesses her feelings to him.  And gets rejected.  Probably too soon for that, sweetie.  Creekstar copes with the rejection by spending some time chatting with Mossyfleck (25).  Now that they’ve gotten over their minor spat, they’re getting along quite well.  Pigeonspot (52) is trying to be more involved in Sleepyfoot’s kit’s lives, even of those she’s not the bio mother of.  She’s been really enjoying spending time with Glowquake (19) lately.  Another one of Sleepyfoot’s kits, Poolbounce (19), scolds Wildcave for shooting blasts of flame near the healer's den.  Wildcave is not thrilled at being scolded by a younger cat.  He can indeed control his fire, thank you very much.  Tornpaw (10) is glad that his warrior training is going so well.  He’s amazed by the skill of those surrounding him, especially Brighfern (25), and is excited to become a warrior and develop skills like that of his own.  While on a patrol, Poolbounce and Astertwist (19) find a litter of kits next to the dead body of their parent.  Poolbounce instantly wraps himself around the kits and orders Astertwist back to camp to prepare.  Astertwist isn’t thrilled to be ordered around by his brother, but he obeys and then comes back to bring the kits back.  Two of the kits, the very polite Lightkit (0) and Logkit (0), have very weak wind-blessings.  One of them, Robinkit (0), has a fire-blessing so weak he may as well be powerless.  The fourth one, Mousekit (0), is powerless.  Poolbounce decides to adopt them as his own.

Sleepyfoot (42) and Pigeonspot’s (45) kits have been apprenticed!  Elmpaw (6) has been apprenticed to Primcrest (18), giving her her first apprentice.  Elmpaw has matured from a little know-it-all into an ambitious little cat who wants to learn all she can about the Clan’s history.  Meanwhile, Goldenpaw (6) has been made a Healer apprentice-meaning that the apprentices in the Healer's den officially outnumber the full Healers.  It’s kind of weird for her to be an apprentice alongside her older brothers and be mentored by her mom.   Gladepatch (52) is keeping an eye on his daughter.  She may be the leader, but he wants to make sure she’s taking care of herself.  Fennelpaw (12) has been made a warrior, with the name of Fenneltuft in honor of her dutifulness.  Despite the leaf-fall chill, she was able to keep herself warm with her fire magic during her vigil.  Amethystdapple (103) loves her and Fry’s (83) kits.  She feels most like herself when she’s around Brightfern (18).  Meanwhile, Primcrest feels like even though cats aren’t necessarily afraid of her, they don’t really trust her to keep her powers under control.  She vents to Fry about it, and he hopes that his daughter will feel better afterwards.  Chiku (110) gets in a border skirmish and is scolded by Mossyfleck (18) for it.  Not because he fought, but because he didn’t let the powered cats fight.  Oh, so that’s how it is?  Glowpaw (12) feels a bit like Pigeonspot is trying to replace Featherspeck as their other mom.  She’s not even Sleepyfoot’s mate!  This tension leads to him bickering with Pigeonspot over the best bedding. 

Sadly, Toriel (104) couldn’t beat redcough and passed away.  Shard (64) is still hanging on though!  But her wound is infected.  The Healers are worried that she won’t make it, even with their hard work.  It is leaf-bare, after all.  In the mediator’s den, Chervilcry (146) has always assumed that, because Pigeonspot (36) is an earth-blessed warrior, her life must be easy.  She realizes she was wrong after she notices how out of place Pigeonspot seems to feel.  Meanwhile, Amethystdapple (94) had hoped that, after raising their kits together, she would get along better with her step daughter-in-law.  Not so.  She still finds Rustsong (36) annoying, and the feeling is mutual.  Rustsong herself is quite protective of her kits.  She wants to make sure that even the weaker powered/powerless ones have a good life in the Clan. It feels a little weird to Fry’s (74) kits to be apprenticed at the same time as their niece and nephews.  Finchpaw (8) really looks up to his aunts and uncle and lifts up his chin when passing by Primpaw (9). The four remaining kits are getting along well.  After a long day of playing mossball, Poolkit (3) finally settles down and takes a nap with Asterkit (3).  Aww!  Primpaw is a little frustrated by how close an eye the older cats keep on her.  She gets that she’s unproven, but she just wishes she could leave camp without supervision!  Meanwhile, Fennelkit (3) is fascinated by the stories of the dark forest.  And Yuccawillow, who now resides there.  Interesting.  While on a patrol with her brother, as a break from her kits, Featherspeck (23) is attacked by a wolverine and dies.  This leaves her young kits without their mother.
