Hi everyone! I just wanted to say thank you again to Tawnypelt37 and everyone else who favorited and followed my story! I thought about it really hard and so i came to a decision. Instead of waiting for the next book in the new arc to come out i really need to update and fix my stories especially memoirs of a khajiit.
So sorry for the wait i have been playing morrowind and even for a game that came out in 2002, it is such a good game! Anyways if any of you are into the elder scrolls series please tell me what i need to fix on this story and my skyrim fanfic.
Sorry one more thing before i start. I got my laptop to start working again :D but some of the keys are stuck and i usually don't notice until i look over the chapter myself so work with me here i'm trying!
"It has been half a moon since the Desertclan kit has arrived,but she still will not tell us her true story. Tawnypelt i know she is a spy i just know it!" a russet colored tom hissed to his mate who in turn slapped him lightly with her tail.
"Rowanstar. She is just a kit what harm can she do?" the pale tortoiseshell she-cat twitched her whiskers in annoyance.
"Remember Violetpaw?" the tom hissed again, Hawk-kit didn't hear the rest she is learning how to tune them out.
The brown and white she-kit was sitting in front of the nursery nibbling at a shrew.
'I guess i somewhat know what Quailfeather felt' she didn't want to think of Desertclan anymore
It saddens her to think of her kin.
"Are you alright?" i looked up at the black tom
"I just can't believe your clanmates think i'm a spy. A somewhat injured 4 and a half moon old kit who wandered for two moons is possibly a spy." she was genuinely confused she looked up at the apprentice and saw warmth in his eyes.
"They will always be wary just pay it no mind" he rested his tail on my shoulder and continued,
"My father snowbush is half kittypet because of his father cloudtail" he was doing his best to reassure me and at least was trying to be welcome.
"But no one in the clan dares to speak out against his heritage because of who cloudtail is related to" i bugged the elders in this clan enough to get them to tell me stories while i help leafpool tend to them.
"Maybe. Anyways i wanted to show you the hunting crouch, you can even tell me about what your clan was like" i nodded and began to mimic his movements, tail not dragging on the ground and distribute my weight throughout my body and not just on my hind legs.
"Where should i start? Oh yeah! In my clan the leader wears the feathers of the bird he or she kills when they first become leader. It is said to give them guidance and have them be closer to our ancestors. They are even buried with the feathers as a sign of respect" he looked interested in what i had to say. Maybe he can be my friend.
"What is training like? I know you are too young to be an apprentice but other apprentices must tell you stuff" he is right Sunpaw or Sunstone and Scorpiontail complained about running along the borders before any other training could take place.
"Well apprentices have to run through the entire territory three times to build up endurance and stamina. And the assessment is all the apprentices have to locate a coyote and either kill it, or run it off the territory"
After getting the crouch somewhat right i talked to this apprentice until sunhigh explaining to him what a coyote was.
"Larkpaw! We have hunting duty!" a dark cream she-cat shouted from the camp entrance.
"Sorry that is my mentor rosepetal calling i'll see you later Hawk-kit" he quickly touched my nose with his and ran off to catch up with his mentor.
"Seems like someone likes you" daisy joked her whiskers twitched with amusement.
The she-kit rolled her amber eyes "no i think he is just being friendly. Even if he was interested i'm not i have more important things to do than fawn over a tom." that might have sounded rude but i am beginning to notice that ever since i hit my head i am not the best when it comes to talking.
"One day you may change your mind so don't push him away too quickly" she went to the elders den and shared tongues with millie.
Finishing with my shrew i made my way to the medicine cat's den.
"Hi Leafpool, Jayfeather, and Alderheart is there anything i can help with today?"
Leafpool greeted me with a swish of her tail and jayfeather glared at me with unseeing eyes.
Before anyone could speak Jayfeather growled "you can help by not being a thorn in my-" leafpool cuffed his ears before he could finish although the kit knew what he was going to say.
"I'm sorry Hawkkit tonight is the half moon so we have to get ready and make sure every leaf, flower, and berry is where it is supposed to be."
The Desertclan kit cocked her head to the side "there is a gathering tonight?"
Jayfeather lashed his tail in annoyance while Leafpool and Alderheart purred with amusement.
"Of a sort yes there is a gathering that only medicine cats can attend" Alderheart explained with amusement in his eyes.
"Are all of you going? What if someone gets hurt?"
Jayfeather spoke in a softer yet still grumpy voice,
" if we do all go together Brightheart and Cinderheart know a good bit about healing. So you will be fine"
The she-kit nodded and was able to help them sort herbs and to her dismay, deal with Graystripe and purdy's ticks.
It was close to sundown when the healers dismissed me.
"Hi young one how was your day?" Daisy always asks me that before we slept, i told her about the gossip i heard about me and that i had helped the medicine cats again.
After a lecture about how petty gossip is a waste of time i finally closed my eyes and settled into a dreamless sleep.
-At the moonpool-
Everybody but Puddleshine was present.
"Guess we shouldn't be surprised that darktail wouldn't let him attend. if i didn't know better i would say that he has intention to destroy from within." kestrelflight huffed as he drew a paw over his ears.
"I think we could all guess that kestrelflight. Makes me nervous for what the future holds for us" mothwing twitched her ears.
Alderheart felt his stomach twist but nodded in agreement as did his fellow medicine cats.
"Lets hurry this up we are wasting moonlight!" jayfeather snapped and slipped his paws into the ancient paw prints and touched his nose to the water , the other medicine cats followed.
-Leafpool's dream-
The next time Leafpool 'opened' her eyes she recognized starclan but something was different and that made her uneasy.
"You of all cats should know not to be scared of speaking to your ancestors"
The tabby whipped around to meet an orange gaze.
"I don't recognise your scent. Who are you?" the tabby medicine cat felt icy claws grip her belly but she couldn't tell why.
"You are right to be wary, for i do not walk your skies" the mysterious starclan cat spoke.
"Then why are speaking to me?" whatever apprehension she felt was now replaced with curiosity.
"I am speaking to you because you have a cat in your clan that should be among her true clanmates."
Leafpool's ears perked as she realized she knew what he was talking about.
"Twigpaw?" the tom she now could clearly see rolled his eyes.
"No i am talking about Hawk-kit" Of course! How could she be so mouse-brained!
"But i still don't know who i'm speaking to, what do you have to tell me about Hawk-kit?"
The tom took in a deep breath and his stare became icy.
"I am Sootstar. I lead Desertclan in its early days. And what i have to tell you about Hawk-kit is, after she becomes a warrior you have to get her to go back to Desertclan."
"But if she left on her own accord why should we send her back?"
The thunderclan medicine cat met the old leaders gaze.
"A prophecy has been passed through generations of the three clans. A prophecy that calls for blood and treachery. Whether Hawk-kit will be the savior or be the harbinger of doom i cannot tell. All i know is that she must return."
prophecies. The she-cat inwardly sighed "and what is this prophecy?"
"When the hawks talons turns to thorns and the raven turns to mist, time will be short and the sands will run red. But something went wrong with the prophecy and now something new has revealed itself, she is greatly needed. Before we go Leafpool i must ask of you never speak a word of this to anyone except Bramblestar"
Before she could ask any questions her dream ended.
Jayfeather had a look of apprehension on his face and Alderheart looked more nervous than usual. She didn't need words to tell her that they may have heard the same thing Sootstar told her.
-At the same time as leafpool was dreaming-
It was killing him. He knew something was wrong and it was killing him.
Adderstar was seeking council with starclan while Sorrelcreek took the clan to the half moon gathering. He hasn't been the same since the death of his young daughter.
Instead of an open field he was greeted by a lush forest clearing with tall starlit trees.
A grey she-cat approached him her pelt brushing the leaf fronds.
"I don't know why they let you dream of these skies nor do i want to attempt to" the grey she cat mumbled and lashed her tail
"Then why are you speaking to me? I wanted to see my kit!" the brute snapped and unsheathed his claws and lashed his tail angrily.
"Calm down you overgrown snake. My name is Yellowfang. But introductions aside, even if you talked to the ones who walk your skies you wouldn't see your kit."
She looked at him with almost an understanding gaze
"Are you saying she went somewhere else?" he stopped lashing his tail but he still had his claws out.
"No. im saying your daughter is alive" that did it, he lunged at her successfully pinning her down
"I AM NOT TO BE LIED TO, I SAW MY MATE BURY HER I SAW THE BODY!" he was beyond angry at the point.
"Let her go Adderstar. She speaks the truth. Your daughter lives" a golden she cat with amber eyes looked at him with a motherly affection as he releases the foreign starclan cat.
Goldenflower explained that she was brought back to life and was in Thunderclan.
"Don't believe us? Look.' she gestured to one of the mirror pools. He gazed into it and his heart wanted to jump out of his chest as he gazd at his daughter. She had her mother's build but his ears. The Desertclan leader gazed fondly at her sleeping form.
"I will send a patrol to fetch her immediately" hope flared through him at the prospect of seeing his daughter once again.
"Wait. i know how hard it is knowing your kit is growing up in another clan but you must wait. Until she is a warrior she will be presented with a choice that must be made."
He understood and reluctantly accepted.
"I can only hope she will make the right one" the tabby tom sighed and woke up as the moon started to fade.
'She is out there….' he ran faster than he thought he could as if the wind herself is carrying him. The very breath of nature was guiding him back to camp.
-end-
It took me two days to write this chapter even if it may not show. Well i am going to bed it is 1:24 in the morning as i am writing this so yeah goodnight i guess!
QOTD: who should Hawk-kits mentor be? since she has white and brown fur she should have a mentor that should teach her how to hide it effectively.
My answer: brightheart not only because she has white for nor just because i believe she needs another apprentice but i believe that she can teach her how to fight even with a head wound like hers. If that makes any type of sense at all
