Ice-eyes

Ice-eyes sat in a secluded area of the camp.She could tell that the sun was high in the sky, and the wind was coming from the south. The scent of fresh-kill was in the air, signaling that a hunting patrol had returned. Being the only MoonClan elder could be nice and lonely at times. Nice because a lot of cats came to her for advice; but lonely because she didn't have a lot of cats to talk to. She didn't regret becoming an elder and giving up her warrior name, Sparkelpelt. But she wishes she had someone to share the den with. Countless times she thought of leaving the elders den and sleeping in the warriors den, but she doubted she could find her way without getting hurt.

A small bundle running into her shook her from her thoughts. Watch it, young kit! she hissed, feeling her tail fur bristle.

Spiderpaw

The young gray and black tomcat picked up a plump mouse in his jaws, and looked at Ice-eyes. She was scolding a young cat who had bumped into her, by the looks of it. She must be so lonely, in the elders den by herself all the time... Spiderpaw thought as he started over to the two of them. It took him a minute to walk over to them, and then, he dropped the mouse in front od Ice-eyes, right within her reach. Good afternoon Ice-eyes. I brought this for you. He greeted her politely, sitting down quietly.He had been on the hunting patrol, but he hadn't eaten yet. He was starving, but he stayed silent.

Stormkit

Stormkit had been playing with a ball of moss when he had run into the grumpy old Elder, Ice-eyes. I'm sorry, Ice-eyes, please don't eat me! he squeaked.

Eat you? Why would I do that? You are much too small to make a decent meal.Not forgetting the the rudeness of the kit that had ran into her, she meowed Thank you, is that you Spiderpaw? she asked. Being blind wasn't new to her, but it was hard to keep up with all the scents of her clan. Have you eaten yet? she asked, bending down to gulp down the mouse.

Spiderpaw

Not a problem, and yes, it is me. Spiderpaw nodded, looking at the blind old she-cat. He looked at Stormkit, and smiled at him. The life of a kit could be so boring, but it had its perks. No early wake-up calls, no criticism on your hunting or fighting techniques... But he knew that all the kits would love to be in his paws, in the apprentice den, going to gatherings, training with their mentors... Have you eaten yet? Ice-eyes question jerked him from his thoughts. No, I haven't yet. I just got back from the hunting patrol. I shall be right back.

Leaping to his paws, he quickly jogged over to the fresh-kill pile and snatched the first thing he saw from the pile. It was a squirrel. It was far from plump, but it wasn't sinuey. He sat down and released the squirrel. He made a face at how furry the squirrel was. Would you like some Squirrel Stormkit? He asked before taking a bite of the squirrel.

Stormkit sniffed the fresh-kill cautiously. It smells wired. Not like milk at al...I guess I could try it. he said,taking a bite out of the prey. It's not too bad. he meowed, licking his lips.

You better learn to eat this. Your mother can't give you milk forever, little one. Ice-eyes meowed, continuing her meal.

Clouds floated over the sun, making the air a bit cool. But it was a good relief from the blazing sun. As soon as they were there, they were gone letting the warmth back into the air. Ice-eyes sighed. We are going to need rain, soon, or else we may enter a drought. And we can't handle that at this time. Ice-eyes meowed, recalling the drought they had while she was still an apprentice.

Spiderpaw

Spiderpaw laughed at Stormkit's comment on the squirrel.They tasted funny to me the first time I tried one. At Ice-eyes comment about needing rain, he looked up from the squirrel. Mmmm. Spiderpaw agreed with a nod.

OOC: srry im braindead!

[Blue the Bumblebee]

Well, we can't rush StarClan. Maybe there is a reason they haven't sent rain yet. Ice-eyes meowed to nobody in particular.

I could get used to it I guess... Stormkit meowed.

[~Night~]

Spiderpaw

Perhaps. Spiderpaw looked from Ice-eyes to Stormkit, then looked up to the sky. His eyes shone as he thought of all the great warriors who were watching him, guiding and protecting him, his clanmates, and many other cats too. Ice-eyes, would you please tell us a story of times passed? He said hopefully, looking back at the Moonclan elder, his eyes bright at the thought of learning more about his warrior ancestors. He glanced at Stormkit quickly, then set his gaze upon Ice-eyes.

[Blue the Bumblebee]

You know how much I love to tell stories! What story would you young ones like to hear? she meowed.

*OOC: Brain dead as well XD*

Spiderpaw

Hmmm.... Spiderpaw thought, looking around the camp for an idea. He knew that there were many stories that he could ask for. He wondered what would be wisest to ask for. Then, the thought hit him suddenly. Perhaps a story that we could learn something from?

[Blue the Bumblebee]

Ice-eyes chuckled. Okay young one, how about the story of how the forest clans came to be.This was many many many seasons ago, in fact, I remember an elder telling me that as an apprentice, shewas told thisstory as well. This is how the four original clans came to be. Do you remember their names? she asked.

[~Night~]

Spiderpaw

Spiderpaw wrapped his tail around his paws, ears pricked forward, keenly awaiting the beginning of the story. He listened carefully. Then, Ice-eyes asked a question about the four original clans. Tigerclan, Lionclan, Leopardclan.... and ....... Pantherclan? Spiderpaw guessed the last one, suddenly realizing that he had forgotten the last clan.

[Blue the Bumblebee]

{Sorry, my mind was everywhere when I wrote that post. I ment three, sorry :/}

Very good Spiderpaw, seems you know your history. LionClan had their golden pelts and dark manes. LepordClan had their spots to blend in. And TigerClan had the flowing stripes that ran around their pelt. Have you heard the story of how snakes came to the forest? she asked her young clanmates.

[~Night~]

Spiderpaw

Spiderpaw nodded as Ice-eyes told them about the original clans. Of course, he'd heard it all before, though he couldn't exactly remember where, or who had told him. He leaned forward, his ears pricked, waiting for the rest of the story. No... He answered quietly to Ice-eyes' question about the snakes.

OOC: UGH! I'M SO BRAIN-DEAD FOR THIS POST!
