He nodded, and straightened. He wasn't proud of how affected he was by this news, but he would be strong. I suppose we can't take as many risks now, he thought to himself. He scented the air, but smelled nothing yet as they were still some ways from the Stone Falls. ✞~Spottedleaf ~✞

Stormpounce Stormpounce looked at Sparktail and Runningtail. "let's lift the body on three. That way we can evenly distribute the weight and carry Dewfeather to where we will bury him." Stormpounce said. He hoped the waver in his voice wasn't noticed as he prepared to lift Dewfeather.
Nightpine Nightpine looked at Shadowrunner. "You look like a badger got you!" he exclaimed to his old clanmate. He looked at the other car next to her. Who are you? He asked.
Briarshine Briarshine looked at Riverclaw. "May I confess something?" She asked nervously . Looking at Riverclaw, she hoped she was allowed to share her thoughts with the queen.
The elder hobbled after the two young cats and over to the late medicine cat’s body, he dipped his head in respect for a moment then positioning himself to help lift up the body. “Ready?” He asked to Sparktail and Stormpounce, there was a part of him that still could not believe that the tom was gone and it seemed like almost yesterday he was watching him as a kit playing with the others. Now he was yet again burying another clanmate he watched grow up, perhaps Starclan would prove to be merciful to them at least until they found someone to take up the role.
Riverclaw (DarkClan): (*Dapplepool*)
“Of course,” Riverclaw mewed with the she-cat briefly looking down at her kits- she had this habit of counting her kits every so often, knowing fully well as they aged she might no longer do so… she will cherish this time with them. Glancing back up at the other queen, all new mothers were at some degree nervous and she was no exception. She lived for the battle and still does, but her heart has shifted to make room for Dewfeather and their kits. “You can tell me anything.”
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”

Shadowrunner
Shadowrunner looked at her old clanmate and laughed at his remark. “I look like a badger got me? More like the whole of darkclan” she said, “as for who that is that’s Aspen”, Shadowrunner nodded at Aspen to show she was ready for her to tighten the cobwebs.

SPARKTAIL
"Ready," Sparktail replied. She slowly started to lift Dewfeather from the ground. With the help of the other two cats, the dead medicine cat wasn't too heavy. The three of them would easily be able to manage the task.
Coldstar continued to head toward Stony Falls. As he led the way, he scented the air for prey. The white tom picked up a scent trail for mice. "How about we hunt on the way? It'll give Sparktail and Stormpounce time to catch up." He said.

Fallenrock Fallenrock nodded. “Sounds good I’ll go look for herbs now to help Brackenflower out.” She dipped her head respectfully and padded back over to Thornpaw . “Okay I’m ready to go if you are.” She purred at her almost warrior apprentice. Fallenrock looked up to the sky. I hope Nova is doing okay today. Aspen Aspen tightened the cobwebs making sure it could still breathe though. “It it’s nice to meet you. I’ll just go hang out closer to the water to let you two catch up.” She mewed while dipping away. Aspen wondered what her mother was up to.

He nodded "That sounds good to me," he meowed, and split away from his leader, following the scent of shrew a bit deeper into the undergrowth. He was sift, but quiet, and slowed as he grew closer. In greenleaf, prey was plentiful, fat, and slow. He watched the shrew root around in the dirt, most likely having come from the stone falls, before leaping and pinning it by the neck underneath his paw. He meowed a quiet thanks and then buried his catch. ✞~Spottedleaf ~✞
fallowpaw fallowpaw awoke with a grunt. "sorry, brackenflower," they murmured sleepily, their eyes slowly blinking open. "had a bad dream last night. it kept me up. somethin' about darkclan..." they shuddered. "can't really remember. probably just me bein' scared and all. 'cause of... yeah." they frowned and shook their head, then mewed, "but, uh, enough of that! what are we doing today?" (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞ )
(note: i've decided fallowpaw's mother, yewthorn, has recently -- maybe within the past moon? -- died from infected wounds sustained during a border skirmish. as such, fallowpaw is extremely edgy when it comes to darkclan. if this was more appropriate for the discussion post, i apologize.)
mousecloud mousecloud did as she was ordered while cloudfeather went off, and by the time he'd returned, she was ready to keep moving. (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞ -- note: sorry for the short reply!)
asterfoot asterfoot padded confidently, holding himself high. the death of dewfeather just wouldn't leave his mouse-brained... well, brain. why was he still fussing over it? why couldn't he just let it go and let coldstar and lightningscar be the ones to keep thinking over it? perhaps that's why he felt the need to show off his strong stature as he walked, as if he wanted to prove to starclan themselves that darkclan wasn't even slightly weakened by this.
asterfoot gritted his teeth. stop thinking! he scolded himself. what are you, leader? be a good warrior and train your apprentice! he kept internally fighting with himself until they arrived at the climbing willow. he suddenly realized that he hadn't decided on solo hunting or team hunting, and, as they paused their walk, took a brief heartbeat to decide. we've mostly been doing team hunting. why don't i let her go off on her own and evaluate her cache?
asterfoot turned and looked down at mistpaw. "we'll be hunting separately," he told her. "i'll give you until sunhigh, and we can meet up and gather our catches. this may not be a formal assessment, but if you don't have with you at least three medium-sized pieces of prey, or an equivalent, i'm going to be severely disappointed."

Thornpaw waited patiently for her mentor to return and couldn’t help but twitch her tail in excitement, she nearly bounded to her paws when the deputy returned. “I’m ready!- I’m ready.” At first she sounded like a bright-eyed new apprentice but quickly changed it to a more ‘mature’ tone, her eyes did deceive her a bit as she was indeed ready to go and the thought of what transpired between the two older cats had made her wonder. Calm yourself Thornpaw, I can’t act like a kit when I’m almost a warrior! If that is what the talk was about… or maybe it was to inform Pepperstar of where we were going, maybe I’m just overthinking things…. Her internal mental debate in her mind straightened things out, for now at least.
Runningtail lifted up when the other two cats did, he was not sure if every time he did this that the bodies grew lighter or heavier. Either I’m getting old, or getting weaker he thought to himself as glanced at the other two warriors. Both of them were by far stronger and much more healthy, if he was left to do this task alone he could not carry it out… at the very least not that far.
"Hmm...my favorite memory? I have too many to count,but i guess, it would be the memory of meeting all you and making friends here on the forums. :3" ”One day I’m going to sit down and make a list of all the books that I finished reading....” “It's going to be a long list...”
Coldstar set off the opposite way from where Lightningscar went, figuring it would result in finding more prey that way. The DarkClan leader tasted the air for prey and, once again, scented mice. He lowered himself to the ground, making sure to distribute his weight properly, forming the hunter's crouch. Staying crouched, Coldstar stepped lightly in the direction of the scent trail.
After a few short moments of following the trail, Coldstar spotted the mouse. Without any hesitation, the white-colored tom leaped through the air and landed just a few paw steps from the small gray-brown animal. Coldstar swiped his claw down the mouse's back, swiftly to get a clean slice.
Thank you StarClan he prayed as he buried the dead mouse in the dirt.
When Dewfeather was lifted completely off the grass, Sparktail helped carry his body toward the exit of the camp, slowly and steadily to not drop him. Anytime a cat in the clan dies, they are always buried in a place that is behind the camp - that way, the burial site isn't on the way to their enemy's territory. It was more out of sight that way.
Mistpaw swiftly followed Asterfoot from behind, silently as she thought about the aftermath that would come from Dewfeather's death. Even though Asterfoot told her not to worry about it, she couldn't help herself. Surely anyone would be worried about something as immense as this? No cat could deny that a medicine cat is essential to the survival of the clan. After all, without a medicine cat, there would be no one to heal the sick and the injured. Sure they could fend for themselves for a short while, but anything could happen in any amount of time. That's what was the most stressful about the whole thing. How many cats would die before a new medicine cat came around? Sure, there were kits in the clan. Even then, Riverclaw's kits were three moons from being eligible to begin their training! Then, there was the fact that they still had no one to teach them the knowledge that was required for them to become medicine cats. I hope Coldstar has a plan for this the young cat thought worriedly.
By the time Asterfoot and Mistpaw arrived at the Climbing Willow, Mistpaw was lost in the flood of worried thoughts. So much that she almost didn't hear Asterfoot give her instructions about hunting alone, as well as the detail about how much to catch. "I won't let you down!" Mistpaw promised confidently.
With that, Mistpaw padded away from her mentor, hopefully after some delicious prey!
"I want to collect some horsetail and goldenrod today," Brackenflower replied. "But, there's no real rush. Do you want to eat something before we head out?" she offered. Brackenflower wasn't really hungry herself, but she figured it wouldn't be fair if she assumed the same for her apprentice. Besides, it was true that there wasn't a reason to hurry. That is, as long as the horsetail and goldenrod were still fresh when it came time to pick it.
Cloudfeather buried his catch and set off after more prey, this time scenting a thrush. Birds weren't really Cloudfeather's first choice of prey. However, the prey was prey and he figured if he didn't eat it someone else would. Forming his hunter's crouch, the warrior stalked toward the feathered creature. To his demise, the bird flinched when Cloudfeather accidentally rustled the grass with his steps. As a result, the thrush escaped. "Fox dung!" Crowfeather cursed as he watched the bird flutter away.

He scented the air again, but this time, something was off. He had inadvertently come closer to the stone falls, and hiding under the cold and metallic scent of the water itself, was the smell of cat, further upstream. He padded quietly back to the path, but seeing as Coldstar hadn't yet arrived, padded quietly and carefully along the path towards the water. When he arrived there, he saw Aspen just over the underbrush, and retreated to tell his leader, who was presumably still hunting. ✞~Spottedleaf ~✞
asterfoot asterfoot watched his apprentice go off with a huff, then parted his jaws and began searching for scents. he caught the scent of a sparrow and crept off to catch it. (note: i imagine we can leave these two be for a while, unless something significant happens.)
fallowpaw fallowpaw searched their belly for signs of hunger, noticing that it still had a slightly full feeling from the evening meal the night before. they shook their head, mewing, "you can eat, but i'm not hungry right now. maybe later." (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞)
mousecloud mousecloud had just caught a squirrel when she heard cloudfeather's annoyed mew. she scraped dirt over the rodent and headed over. "it's probably just moving somewhere else in the forest," she meowed light-heartedly. "we'll catch it another time." unless it goes over to darkclan, she thought. but then, it was greenleaf anyways -- plenty of prey!
mousecloud shook her head, as if that'd dissipate her thoughts. "i'm gonna move a bit forward. i'm getting a bit bored with this scenery. meet you there?" (✞~Spottedleaf ~✞)

Coldstar left the mouse buried in the dirt and padded further in the woods. He was about to hunt for more, but he sensed something was up. Going to check it out, Coldstar found Lightningscar. "You okay?" he asked his deputy. Coldstar wasn't known to be much of the caring type, so what he really meant by that was if there was anything happening that was out of the ordinary.

"There's a rogue by the water," he meowed, gesturing with his tail, "I didn't see much, but figured you should know. Should we wait for the others?" ✞~Spottedleaf ~✞
