Cresskit; Age 0 moons; Powerless tom-kit; Charming

The war has been long and hard on both Clans.  ElementClan’s cavern is proving to be a hard place to defend.  A TulipClan raid breaks in and attacks the nursery, and Twilightthrush (102) sacrifices herself to protect Brightfalcon (141) and the kits.  Cressfreckle (14) is devastated by the loss of his mother so soon after the loss of his sister.  But he knows he has to keep fighting for the Clan that took them in.  And he’s been hanging out with Yellowcreek (25) more.  Skydawn is watching from StarClan and is glad that the dark-cursed cat has found a friend. . .or maybe something more?  Rosemaryquake (55) and Bushmask (108) are (surprisingly) still getting along, and even spar together.  With how frequent the attacks are getting, even the Healers must be prepared to fight.

Twilightthrush’s (94) kits have been made apprentices!  Bluepaw (6), as an earth-blessed cat, has been made a Healer apprentice, with Caterpillarmallow (40) as her mentor.  She is thrilled to be an apprentice and is busy telling Cresspaw (6) everything he’s been doing wrong. . .even though they’re training for completely different things.  Meanwhile, Cresspaw has been apprenticed to Antlersky (47), in order to give the young (ish) warrior her first apprentice.  Finally.  She doesn’t even mind that he’s magicless.  Brightfalcon (133) is starting to feel the strain of caring for kits when she’s an old lady.  She’s been bickering with Graykit (3) and recruits Bushmask (100) to watch Flurrykit (3) for a while.  Chervilcry (69) is happy being a mother and is enjoying spending time with her kits and mate.  Rosemaryquake (47) has also been bonding with her brothers and gives Graykit her favorite piece of prey.  Judaschaser (111), coming from outside the Clan, doesn’t quite understand why cats hate Yellowcreek (17) so much.  She enjoys spending time with him and even lets him watch the kits with her.  Bushmask was not thrilled when he came back from a patrol to find the young warrior playing with Graykit.  Airclaw (32) has been recruited to watch over Chervilcry’s kits.  She promises to protect them if anything attacks their camp.
