This has been taking way too long. So, I kind of took the lazy way out in the end.

Moons pass and Thrushheart and Raventail get closer than ever. Thrushheart and Blazerun bond with their father.


Ripplekit catches a kit illness and Pantherstar and Quickbright are unsure if he will pull through.
Pantherstar's voice is shrill and worried as she fuses over her kit.
"He was fine this morning! I don't know what happened!"
Quickbright sniffed at young Ripplekit. He was almost apprentice age. "It's a small cold. He should pull through just fine, Pantherstar," He tried to soothe his young leader.
"A-Are you sure?" Her voice comes out small and strained.
It's to be expected, Quickbright thought, she lost her mate and a kit very close together. Perhaps, he could take this kit as an apprentice when he grows. He thought back to when the young kit asked him about the herbs in his den just a few sunrises ago.
"I'm sure. When he grows to apprentice age, I think he would make a good medicine cat."
"Okay. Take good care of him Quickbright. Please. I can't lose him too."
"Of course, Pantherstar."


The morning patrol finds a queen and her kit.
Birchbright, Brushspeck, and Leopardfur go on the morning patrol. They didn't expect to find a terrified queen curling around her small kit, they smelled blood coming from her.
Brushspeck stepped forward, "We have a medic that can help you and your kit."
The mottled tabby queen shakes her head, "It's too late for me. Please. Just save my kit. Please." She collapses, too weak to hold herself up.
"Of course," Brushspeck meows. "We'll keep your kit safe."
They comfort the dying queen and then take the kit back to meet the rest of the clan.




Pantherstar's kits become apprentices.
Leopardfur and Birchbright take Mothpaw and Crowpaw as apprentices. And Quickbright takes Ripplepaw as an apprentice.



Moons go by. Mothpaw becomes Mothfang. Crowpaw becomes Crowclaw. Ripplepaw becomes Ripplestone. Sandkit and Gravelkit have both become apprentices. Brushspeck and Quickbright had a new litter of kits. Birchbright and Leopardfur become best friends. Raventail and Thrushheart become mates.

Mouse has been training up the kits and adults to fight. He recruits more cats and trains them as well. Then, he finally decides to invade the camp.

PantherClan was slowly picked off until the numbers were low enough for Mouse to make an all-out attack. It's a bloody battle and no one survives.

Family Tree Link

Whoops, been a while!! But don't worry, I haven't given up on this Clan just yet.








It's been several moons since the fateful day Lotuspaw washed up on that shore.

Looking back on it all now, he finds himself amazed at just how the time flew. It's hard to believe that he was once that trembling, lonesome kit, doubting the odds that he could ever bring himself to feel happy again.

After Boris came several other rogue cats, investigating the area for their own particular reasons as rumors of a wild cat started to spread. Out of all of them, three decided to join in on the Clan: Newt -- a small gray tom with a unique affinity for herbs, Miki -- a small white she-cat with a keen prey drive but an unfortunate tendency for nervousness, and Midnight -- a quiet, absentminded black she-cat who mostly keeps to herself. Over the moons, the five grew to trust each other like they'd been born side by side, working together to keep themselves fed and protected from the elements.

And then came the dream.

One day, Newt bounded out of his den like he'd seen a ghost, urgently telling the others about how he'd heard the whispers of dead cats and seen their reflections on a pool of water. He couldn't quite grasp how, but he knew the way there despite never having travelled that way before.

It was there that Lotuspaw saw his fallen Clanmates again. He spoke to his parents, to his siblings, and all of the friends he lost-- and when he and his new Clan woke up, they were no longer the same cats as they were before.

Fast forward several more moons, and he's stretching out in the late greenleaf sunshine, hearing the patter of pawsteps and chatter of friendly voices that aren't his own. As he does so, he knows without a doubt that he's made it. He's found new companionship-- a new family.



"Oh, you're awake... good morning."

Lotuspaw -- or rather, Lotusbloom now -- turns to see a small she-cat walking toward him, pace languid. Her white coat practically glows in the sunlight, and her eyes gleam with an amiable tenderness that he finds rather difficult to look away from.

"Cottontail! Good morning." he greets her, unable to keep the tip of his tail from twitching self-consciously. "How was the hunt?"

"I... still have a ways to go, I think." she folds her ears back sheepishly, paws scuffing the ground. "I may or may not have mistaken a branch for a snake and scared away every bit of prey in the area."



"Don't forget the actual snake that we managed to catch." another voice adds, a large ginger tom shouldering his way out of the bushes, dragging along said snake. "Your reflexes are better than mine, honestly."

"Oh, you're just saying that... it was only a fluke." Cottontail purrs. Lotusbloom doesn't miss how the look in her eyes changes when they land on him, and he feels his good mood dim slightly. However, the smile he gives his best friend is a genuine one.

"You're lucky she was there, huh?" he teases, butting him lightly with his shoulder. "Come on, you may be SmolderSTAR now, but that doesn't mean you can go wasting your nine lives on things like that!"

"Yeah, yeah." Smolderstar snorts, placing a paw on the stouter tom's head to lightheartedly shove him away. "Anyways, how's the new cat? Are they adjusting well?"

This catches the attention of the cat fiddling with a pebble just a short ways away. They pad over, amused.



"Well, I think it's safe to say we'll have enough moss and rocks to eat for the next five moons." they snort, flicking some moss off of their own pelt with a black paw. "When d'you think I can try out this hunting thing for real?"

"Lotusbloom can take you, I suppose." Smolderstar answers, flicking his tail towards the brown tabby.

"You have to ask Lotusbloom first!" the deputy swats him indignantly. "But yeah, yeah, let's go..."

Kind of a small update for the time it took, but the ball is more or less rolling now! Now the real fun and shenanigans begin.

So I'm back and BOY has MistClan had a time. Birth, death, Twolegplace shenanigans-- buckle up, fellas, because it's been a wild ride.


So, where we last left off, we had six in the Clan! Lotusbloom, Smolderstar, Skygaze, Cottontail, Nightbreeze, and newcomer Heatherpatch. Six wonderful kitty cats to kick off this grand legacy-- I got attached to them pretty quickly.



... which was a mistake, because Cottontail died of a stomach illness, like immediately. First mate of Smolderstar, unrequited love of Lotusbloom, and closest friend of Nightbreeze... she will be remembered.



Nightbreeze was the only one to be afflicted with Grief Disease, fortunately, and Skygaze had the herbs to get her back on her feet.



Did you think this was the end of the tragedies, though? Not even halfway! Because it's not long before Heatherpatch runs into a large dog on patrol and gets their legs broken beyond repair-- they can thankfully still walk by themself (I mean, have you ever SEEN a cat move without the help of their hindlegs? It's crazy), but it's not very ideal for hunting or fighting. They therefore decide to retire to the elders' den early.



And... what's this? A newcomer? Meet Winona -- later to be called Morningstep -- who happens to be Heatherpatch's littermate! She wandered over, wanting to see what her sibling had been up to, and decided to stick around. (Context: they weren't actually littermates originally, it's just that I made Winona / Morningstep FAR earlier than I did Socks / Heatherpatch, and they coincidentally ended up looking very similar. So, I kinda just went with it.)



Morningstep was initially not very well liked at all. She eventually became the Clan's first fisher cat, though, and the others did eventually warm up to her! Especially Lotusbloom, who admittedly couldn't help but admire her tenacity and unique skillsets.



Meanwhile, Smolderstar and Nightbreeze bonded over their shared grief, and found that they had quite a lot in common over the many moons they ended up spending together. So much so, in fact, that they ended up becoming the strong, silent power couple of the Clan! What followed soon enough was...





Sunsetkit (the one that ran off before I could get a picture of him with his siblings and mom), Twilightkit (the calico), Mallowkit (the one with the white cape), and Burnkit (the one with the black smudge on his foot)! A litter of four adorable kits, three toms and a she-kit! Unfortunately, however, the one she-kit - that being Twilightkit - ended up stillborn, and there were no revival-level medical items in Skygaze's stock. Which is honestly such a shame-- being the only she-kit aside, she also had my favorite coat out of the whole litter.



This is not where the chaos ends, however. Because out on a hunting patrol, the thunder and lightning scares poor Smolderstar right out of the territory and into Twolegplace!



There, he encountered a small dog and then... well, beat it up. He beat up a dog. And I didn't even have to roll for injures, because the fighting skill mod assigned an injury level for me! It's worth checking out if you're one of the eleven people in the world still doing this challenge (/lh /j).



Thankfully, he found his way back, and just barely managed to stop Morningstep from sneaking out to look for him. Skygaze dressed his minor wound with cobweb and an anti-infection poultice, and he was right as rain after a good long sleep accompanied by his mate.







After that whole ordeal, Morningstep has her and Lotusbloom's own kits that very evening. Two kits, this time: a she-kit named Figkit, and a tom named Leafkit. Both kits rolled good health, but Morningstep rolled death! Thankfully, however, there was a single plasma beetle in stock-- caught by Lotusbloom himself, no less! He inadvertently saved the life of his mate and the only fisher-cat in the Clan.

And that's where we leave off for now, folks. I'm glad to say that I've been having a lot of fun with this challenge!

EXTRA PICS

He got sick



Heatherpatch has a really weird obsession with chewing moss. I have to repair the nursery beds every few days because of them.



They were very cute while they lasted.



Sibling reunion!



Lotus has the slither stalker achievement now-- but this was beforehand, and it gave me a heart attack!



This alien keeps showing up for some reason.



fimsh



:,)



The whole family...



Like mother, like son.



snorkkk mimimimi



Out of NightSmolder's living kits, I like Mallowkit's coat the best! There's something so cute about the white cape.



And one last Cottontail... RIP.


NOTE: If you see the personality traits on the kits that aren't there for the adults, I started using a personality generator midway through the game and was too lazy to do it for everyone. It'll be put on every newcomer, including newborn kits and rogue recruits!

I take back what I said about using sketchy art for the family trees, lineless is back.


Side note: Not sure if I'm actually going to get any votes on this, but I've been thinking of possibly ignoring the 'medicine cats can't have a mate or kits' rule. It's kinda arbitrary in my opinion-- perhaps I could make it my own custom rule that so long as there is more than one active medicine cat, mates and kits are fair game? If you'd like, feel free to vote either agree or disagree on this post!

Anyways, hope you enjoyed this one! I'll see y'all in the next update!

I have too many cats. I might need to adjust the relativity or something. I was using my own set of rolls but they might be too forgiving. One of the cats though fought a dog and lost a leg. They're healing but could still die due to it being leafbare and not one of the other seasons.

Other Information -
SPOILERS
In the current episode as of 11/9/2022 Flower has been tasked with helping bring another clan back to the territories as MeadowClan was brought back. We do not think this means he'll be leaving MeadowClan, but he might be away from them for a bit... like in Firestar's Quest ig?
SPOILERS

NOTE: Can I just say trying to do those little scenes is exhausting? It just takes forever to get the footage necessary and then to edit it so it goes with the mini-script... fun though it may be it's very time consuming. Especially the one for episode 25.

If you want to know more/see more there's 26 episodes of season one as MeadowClan gets re-established.
