Well, Dawnstar (125) got over Bluestripe pretty quick.  And speed-ran falling in love with Sofanthiel (130).  The two have become mates and, with their heads pressed together speaking their commitment in front of the Clan, there’s nothing in Sofanthiel and Dawnstar’s worlds but love.  Dawnstar also decides to adopt Ryepaw (11), something he never did for Bluestripe’s kits.  Dapplemuzzle (38) can’t help but feel like Sofanthiel is replacing her mom.  She steps on Sofanthiel’s foot and pretends not to notice.  Dapplemuzzle goes to Aries (107) for advice on how to process her feelings, but regrets it immediately when Aries misses the point and starts talking about all the trouble she could get Sofanthiel in instead.  Aphidwhisker (38) still has a grudge against Hatchswipe (86) for some reason.  Hatchswipe does not reciprocate said grudge.  She’s doing her usual ‘looking-out-for-other-cats’ thing and reminds Aphidwhisker to grab some fresh-kill.  Aspenpaw (11) has also been made a warrior!  He is named Aspenthud, in honor of his logic.  Flailvalley (33) is proud of his first apprentice, although seeing Aspenthud’s siblings congratulate him makes him miss his own littermates. Tansypaw (11), despite having her brother in the healer’s den with her, is starting to realize that being a healer can be lonely.  It’ll be a while before she gets her full name, like Aspenthud just did.  She feels disconnected from him.

Healer’s den: Embershell (water in lungs), Flailvalley (phantom pain)

It seems that Dawnstar’s (121) positive manifestation worked because things are looking up for ElementClan.  Prey is running well for the first time in moons and Bumble (114) is finally healed, although he does have a scar from his broken jaw.  Blizzardpaw’s (7) strong earth-blessing came in handy for healing that.  Bumble is back to feeling like his old, troublesome self and starts an argument between Ryepaw (7) and Flailvalley (29).  Because having a dark-cursed and a very powerful water-blessed cat fighting is totally a good idea.  The two of them both have pretty good control over their magic, though, so nothing bad happens.  They both just get a little damp.  Ryepaw is pretty close to his mother and saves a piece of fresh-kill that he knows is Sofanthiel’s (126) favorite.  Blizzardpaw has known he was destined to be a healer ever since he was very young, but he can’t help but daydream about what being a warrior would have been like.  Especially a warrior in LionClan.  That would have been so cool.   It’s a little weird for Aspenpaw (7) being the only warrior apprentice out of his siblings, so he asks Hatchswipe (82) for advice.  He talks about how it doesn’t help that Flailvalley always looks so stressed.  It’s hard to trust anything he says.  Hatchswipe carefully doesn’t mention the fact that she was startled by an owl the previous night.  Dapplemuzzle (34) came into deputy-ship at a challenging time, but Hatchswipe is actually impressed with how well she’s doing.  Hatchswipe has served under five different deputies now, and Dapplemuzzle (34) is one of the best she’s had.  With Pebbletuft and Bluestripe gone, Aphidwhisker isn’t used to cats actually taking care of her, so she’s surprised when Hopcurl (55) is thoughtful.  She doesn’t really know how to respond to xem.

Sofanthiel (125) and Aries’ (102) kits have been apprenticed!  Ryekit (6) is a little nervous about becoming an apprentice.  Especially without Gravelkit at his side.  But Sofanthiel coaches him through it and he is apprenticed to Dapplemuzzle (33), giving the deputy her first apprentice.  Aspenpaw (6)  has been apprenticed to Flailvalley (28), also giving the young warrior his first apprentice.  Flailvalley is nervous about it, but Aspenpaw trusts that StarClan will guide him to being a great warrior.  And Tansypaw (6) and Blizzardpaw (6) have both been made healer apprentices, of course  They are much needed and Bumble (113) is glad to have the help around the den.  However, Bumble gave Tansypaw some oak leaves as a present, making Blizzardpaw jealous.  What a great start to their career together. Dawnstar (120) knows that the Clan has been going through a rough patch and gives a particularly rousing speech at the kits’ apprentice ceremony to cheer cats up.  It’s newleaf!  A time for new beginnings.  Hopefully good ones.  Despite being a healer apprentice, Blizzardpaw feels like it’s important for him to know how to hunt. He spends some time with Dapplemuzzle and Ryepaw learning the basics.  After Gravelkit’s death, Hatchswipe (81) is thinking about another kit who died.  She wonders how Chasmkit is doing in StarClan.  Blizzardpaw is pretty sure he had a vision, where he saw two shadowed cats attacking each other where a glowing cat watched in glee.  He and Tansypaw discuss what it could mean. As the only two fire-blessed cats in the Clan, Longpelt (50) and Embershell (54) stick together, and Longpelt appreciates it when Embershell asks how he’s doing.  Despite not even being mates, Aphidwhisker (33) is jealous when she catches Hopcurl (54) staring at another cat.  Hopcurl is actually just staring off into space, thinking about xer mediating sessions. And the fact that Aries has zero interest in doing much actually mediating lately.  Aries feels like Dapplemuzzle is too uptight and convinces her to help pull a prank on a clanmate
