Two Warriors

Brookstar leaped onto the HighStone elegantly. "Cats who are old enough to catch their own prey please gather under the HighStone for a clan meeting!" She surveyed her clan as they emerged out of their dens, got up from the fresh kill pile, stopped sharing tongues and sitting at the bottom of the HighStone. Behind her, a pretty brown tabby she-cat and a bengal she-cat stood behind her, curious. "We have two cats joining us today, and I have made a decision on who, besides Darkflame, will supervise the hunting training program. Fadingdust and Hawkflower will be joining us as warriors today. Do you two promise to protect and uphold the warrior code and your clan at the cost of your life?"
The two she-cats exchanged glances, then looked straight at Brookstar, their faces and voices resolute. "I do."
"Then you are now part of FalconClan. You can live and hunt with us and expect to be honored and treated well." Brookstar paused, then added, "Fadingdust, I know that you are talented with herbs. Sometimes, when both Pinepaw and Violetgaze are gone with other duties, I would like it if you would help the clan with healing. You would not be a medicine cat or even a medicine cat helper, just someone who would help in emergencies, and you would still be a warrior. If you need to think it over, I give you until moonhigh. Come to my den then." Brookstar then turned to the rest of the clan. "And the three other cats who will work with Darkflame are: Skyblaze, Hawkflower, and Moonblossom. You four may converse about this later, after the meeting, and tell me your plan at moonhigh." Brookstar finished and was about to dismiss her clan when a soft voice called out from the crowd.
"Brookstar, can I ask for something?" It was Brightlegs, calling from just outside the nursery with Blossomkit sitting beside her.
"Go ahead, Brightlegs," the leader meowed.
"Brookstar, I'd like to take a break from the nursery and do my warrior duties," the queen mewed.
Brookstar tried to hide her shock as she looked down at the fluffy white she-cat. "But you have kits to take care of, Brightlegs. You cannot let her fend for herself..."
She was cut off by the queen. "No, of course I do not mean to leave my kit like that! I was wondering if Silverwater could, until her kits are born! Then I could return to the nursery."
The leader bit back a "By then Blossomkit would be an apprentice", and dipped her head wearily. "Alright then, Brightlegs. As long as Silverwater is willing, I don't mind. But if she doesn't you'll have to stay in the nursery. Okay?"
Brightlegs dipped her head at her leader. "Yes, Brookstar."
Brookstar nodded, then turned to the rest of the clan. "Meeting dismissed!"

A New Type of Prey

Brookstar stood on the HighStone, looking down at her hungry clan. She had made a desicion, and FalconClan would have to try it. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, please gather here under the HighStone for a clan meeting!" When all the cats were sitting below her, gazing at her earnestly, she took a deep breath and began. "Cats of FalconClan, we all know that with leafbare, prey is scarce and many of us are going to our dens with empty bellies. Especially in the mountains, it is extremely cold and there is virtually no prey. FalconClan is growing, and we have a lot more mouths to feed- over 50 mouths. However, there are still mountain birds in our territory. Some of us come from tribes, and know how to capture larger birds, like hawks, eagles, and kites, as prey. I believe that if we begin to do this not just for this leafbare but for all the other leafbares, we will have enough prey to eat. From now on, there will be a mountain bird hunting training program for those who need to learn how to hunt mountain birds. This will be run by Darkflame and three other cats. I will give you the information tomorrow at sunhigh." Brookstar finished and swept a cold blue gaze around the clan. "Any questions?"
Silence.
"Meeting dismissed!"

Lots of New Cats

Brookstar leaped onto the top of the HighStone. "Today, many new cats are joining. First, the warriors: Waterfeather, Silentecho, and Silverheart. The apprentices: Bluepaw, Ripplepaw, Featherpaw, and Lionpaw. Bluepaw, your mentor will be Skyblaze. Ripplepaw, your mentor will be Sweetrose. Featherpaw, your mentor will be Frostpelt. LIonpaw, your mentor will be Goldenshine. Last but not least, the queens: Silverwater and Brightlegs, with her kit Blossomkit. We welcome these cats as part of our clan- FalconClan is growing stronger and stronger!"
"Also, we have an apprentice becoming a warrior. Cobaltpaw, please step forward." Brookstar waited as the excited young she-cat leaped easily onto the boulder. She summoned up the right words: "I call upon my warrior ancestors to look upon this young cat. She has trained in the ways of a warrior, and is ready to become one. Cobaltpaw, do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then from now on, you will be called Cobaltclaw. FalconClan honors your swiftness and intelligence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan," Brookstar finished, and put her muzzle on her head while he licked her shoulder. She straightened up, and looked down at the newly made warrior. "Tonight you will hold silent vigil."
Brookstar looked up. "Finally, we have four kits ready to become apprentices. Snowkit, Cherrykit, Mousekit, and Briskkit, please come up here." Again she waited patiently as they scrambled up onto the huge rock. "By naming apprentices we show that FalconClan remain strong. Snowkit, Cherrykit, Mousekit, and Briskkit, you have each reached your sixth moon, and it is time for you to become apprentices. Do you promise to train in the ways of a warrior and the warrior code, and to do as your mentor tells you?"
"I do!" They mewed, bouncing around.
"Then Cherrykit, from now on you will be called Cherrypaw. Your mentor will be Nightshadow. Mousekit, you will now be known as Mousepaw. Azurefern will be your mentor. Briskkit, you will now be known as Briskpaw. Your mentor will be Shadownight. And Snowkit, you will now be known as Snowpaw. I will mentor you." Brookstar finished, staring down at the white she-cat.
"Meeting dismissed! Snowpaw, come see me in my den."

(is that fine, lil?)

Elders

Brookstar leapt onto the HighStone, and called her clan together. "Today we have two elders joining us: Mallowheart and Hollyshade. I expect you all to honor them and respect them. I do not require an oath from you," she told the two elders, dipping her head. "For you have already worked hard throughout your life, and I should not expect so much from you. So welcome!" She heard her clan cheer the two old cats on, and when the voices died down, Brookstar spoke out once more. "Streampaw and Azurefern, please help them settle down. Sorry, Azurefern, I know it's an apprentice duty."
The light brown and silver she-cat dipped her head, accepting the apology.
"Also, I'd like Frostpelt and Skyblaze to each lead a hunting patrol. Stormtalon, please also lead a patrol along the IceClan border. Nightshadow, lead a patrol along the BreezeClan border. Because they are our allies, you don't have to take that many cats. Meeting dismissed!" Brookstar leapt off the HighStone to welcome the elders herself.

New Prophecy BLOG

Hi all!
Because FalconClan is for FalconClan, not the prophecy, which now includes BreezeClan, we (Alado and I) are making a NEW BLOG for the prophecy itself. Because there are not all the cats from BreezeClan, we haven't come up with the actual prophecy yet and the blog is still in progress but we will give you the web address now:

http://prophecyfalconbreeze.blogspot.com/

Go to it (YOU HAVE TO DO THIS if you are in the prophecy- Violetgaze, I think you should too) if you want!!!

ANGRY

I am not very happy right now, due to inactive bloggers:

Thunder/Hollow
***Silverleaf/Shinestream/Honeyblaze***
Silversky

If you do not come on within ONE WEEK I will either delete or retire your cats.
If you do come on, only once, you will be retired.
If you come on from twice to four times, you will be demoted.
If you come on more than four times you will regain your original position.

Nightshadow and a Warrior Ceremony

Brookstar stood on the HighStone, looking down at her clan after she had called them together. "Today we have one cat joining us, as a warrior- Nightshadow." Turning to the black she-cat with green eyes, she asked: "Nightshadow, do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code and your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then I confirm your warrior name, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar let her step to the side before meowing, "There are also two apprentices ready to become warriors. Azurepaw and Shadowpaw, will you come up here?"
The two apprentices, with completely different personalities but still very close, leaped onto the HighStone simultaneously.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look upon these young cats. They has trained in the ways of a warrior, and are ready to become one. Azurepaw and Darkpaw, do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
They intoned the same words, Azurepaw brightly and Darkpaw quietly but firmly. "I do."
"Then from now on Azurepaw will be called Azurefern. FalconClan honors your eagerness to learn and your intelligence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan. Shadowpaw, from now on you will be called Shadownight. FalconClan honors your strength and quiet determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar finished, and the newly made warriors let her put her muzzle on their heads, and they licked her shoulder. The leader straightened up, and looked down at the warriors. "Tonight you will hold silent vigil."
Brookstar watched them jump down, the siblings' eyes shining with pride. She herself turned and padded into her den, after saying: "Meeting dismissed!"

Prophecy

Right! Because everybody has voted YESS!!!! on the Prophecy Poll, I will make a prophecy. I will give two prophecy ideas, then have a poll for you to vote on. There are THREE open prophecy cat spaces.

Prophecy 1:
One evil cat rises within the clan, and recruits two other evil cats with him/her, and the good cat rises within the clan and recruits two other cats. Then it is just a question of the battle between them.

Prophecy 2:
The forest is being taken over by a strange threat. Plants are dying, prey is getting less and so on. Four cats, chosen by StarClan, along with four other cats from BreezeClan need to journey together and find the cause of it. (If we choose this prophecy, I will make a new blog for the journey)

Cats:
All cats in the prophecy must have already joined. If you want to make a new cat for the prophecy, join it at the join page. All applications need to be in this format:
Name:
(If prophecy is evil/good) Side you are fighting for:
Power:

For example-
Name: Darkflame
(If prophecy is evil/good) Side you are fighting for: Good
Power: Telekineses

Cats currently in the prophecy:
Darkflame - Mind reading and minor mind control
Snowkit (paw) - Ability to look into the future from time to time
Stormpaw - Extreme dexterity and speed
Nightshadow - Extreme charisma and invisibility.

No spaces! Let the prophecy... BEGIN!!!

Warrior and Apprentice Ceremony

Brookstar leaped onto the HighStone, her muscles rippling under the moonlight. "Today, we have an apprentice becoming a warrior, and a kit becoming an apprentice! Skypaw, please come up here."
The white apprentice, now looking more like a warrior, easily leaped onto the large boulder.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look upon this young cat. He has trained in the ways of a warrior, and is ready to become one. Skypaw, do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
His reply was solemn, with no hesitation. "I do."
"Then from now on, you will be called Skyblaze. FalconClan honors your bravery and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan," Brookstar finished, and put her muzzle on Skyblaze's head while he licked her shoulder. She straightened up, and looked down at the newly made warrior. "Tonight you will hold silent vigil."
She then turned to the kit, looking excited at the prospect of becoming an apprentice. "Stormkit, will you come up here?"
Stormkit scrambled up the HighStone, trying not to slip. "Stormkit, though your siblings are still kits, you are older then them, and have reached your sixth moon. Do you promise to train in the ways of the warrior code, and do as your mentor tells you?"
"I do."
"Then from now on you will be called Stormpaw. Flarestorm, you are wise, caring, but fierce in battle. You will mentor Stormpaw until he is ready to become a warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar watched Stormpaw jump down and sit next to his mentor, wriggling in excitement, then began to cheer with her clan.
"Skyblaze! Stormpaw! Skyblaze! Stormpaw!"

More New Cats and Patrols

Brookstar stood proudly on the HighStone, looking down at her clan. "We have MANY new cats joining us today! First of all, I would like to welcome Goldenshine, Flarestorm, Frostpelt, and Stormtalon! Do you all promise to defend and uphold the warrior code and your clan, even at the cost of your life?'
"I do," they meowed firmly.
"Then I confirm your warrior names and I make you full warriors of FalconClan." Brookstar then turned to the new apprentices. "Stonepaw and Streampaw! Welcome to FalconClan. Do you promise to train as warriors of FalconClan, and do as your mentors tell you?"
"I do." The young cats' voices held no hesitation whatsoever.
"Then Stormtalon, though you are new you are determined and loyal. You will mentor Stonepaw. Berylmist, you have shown your intelligence, kindness, and loyalty many times over, especially in the badger attack. You deserve an apprentice, and you will mentor Streampaw."
The mentors and apprentices touched noses, and Brookstar continued on.
"We also have Snowkit joining us today." Brookstar purred down at the white she-cat. "She will join Stormkit, Cherrykit, Briskkit, and Mousekit in the nursery with Poppyleaf as her foster mother." The silver leader nodded at the only queen in the nursery.
Brookstar waited until the cheering was over, then spoke again, this time in a more businesslike manner. "I would like for Nightclaw to lead a border patrol. I recommend the IceClan border, as you never know what they are up to. Also, Talonstrike, would you lead a hunting patrol? Each of you will take three to five other cats with you. Thank you. Meeting dismissed." She spoke the last words curtly, and then turned around swiftly and padded silently into her den.

New Cats, Kits Born

Brookstar gazed down at her clan, her expression proud and happy, though her eyes had not lost their cold fierceness. "Cats of FalconClan! It is a wonderful time for all- Poppyleaf's kits have been born, and there are four new cats joining! Welcome Cherrykit, Briskkit, and Mousekit, Poppyleaf's kits!" She purred as she glanced down at the kits who were bouncing around in joy. "Also welcome Crowflight and Moonblossom, warriors, and Silverpaw and Leafpaw, apprentices!"
She paused, and spotted the two cats she wanted. "Nightclaw, you are, undoubtedly, ready for an apprentice. You will mentor Silverpaw until he becomes a warrior. Crowflight, though you are new and young, I believe that you can handle an apprentice of your own. You will mentor Leafpaw until she becomes a warrior." The mentors and apprentices touched noses.
Brookstar turned to Crowflight and Moonblossom. "Do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then you are now full warriors of Falconclan."
She glanced once at her clan, then nodded as to say it was done, and leapt down from the Highstone to cheer with the others.
"Silverpaw! Leafpaw! Crowflight! Moonblossom!"

Check out our History!

Hey guys! Stormy here. So I've made a history of FalconClan site called "The Feathers of a Falcon", and it'd be really cool if you'd check it out! It's all about how the creation of FalconClan began, and about the first leader of FalconClan (Eaglestar), and why FalconClan wasn't named after their first leader like most clans are. But, sorry, its in the end so I'll hurry, 'kay? Anyway, here's the web link:

http://falconclan-history.blogspot.com

Okay! So like, check it out and enjoy!

Maple Wood

The Maple Wood is the second smallest Wood of the Forest, and borders both the Hawthorn and Aspen Woods. The two dominant types of trees here are maple and mountainash, however it is not named the Maple Wood because if it. Mapleflight, a young and beautiful medicine cat was killed in this wood by an enemy clan while protecting a litter of kits that had strayed off, and the Wood was named after her in honor. It is one of the more beautiful parts of the forest, but beware of the cliff that leads to sheer drop off the mountain at the eastern border. It is well-hidden with shrubbery, vines, and trees. Prey here mostly consists of mice, birds, and squirrels.

Hawthorn Wood

The Hawthorn Wood borders the Ash and Maple Wood, and is directly across the Aspen wood. It is the largest Wood of the four main sections of the forest. It is unknown why it is named the Hawthorn Wood, as not many of the trees here are hawthorns. Perhaps the serviceberry trees that prosper in this Wood was mistaken for a hawthorn because they both have fragrant, beautiful snowy white flowers in the spring. Many birds are attracted to this Wood, and a stream runs through the middle of this Wood. Almost every type of freshkill can be found here.

Aspen Wood

This part of the Forest is the smallest of all. It neighbors the Ash and Maple Woods. There is a particularly huge aspen in the middle, thus its name. The large aspen in the center of the Wood is nicknamed the Trembling Tree, as its dark green leaves tremble at the slightest hint of a breeze. Prey here consists mainly of mice and shrews, but many birds of prey come here as well, and it has the second most number of hawks and eagles. The first most is the Cloudy Gorge.

Ash Wood

This is a peculiar part of the Forest, a large section of mostly ash trees. It neighbors the Aspen and Hawthorn Wood, and is directly across the Maple Wood. The second largest part of the four Woods of the Forest. Prey here mainly consists of mountain hares and squirrels, along with birds of all sorts. This is also on the border of HawkClan.

New cats and Warrior Ceremony

"We have many new cats joining us today!" Brookstar announced from the HighStone. "This is a wonderful addition to our clan! FalconClan is growing stronger!" She meowed, and the clan below her cheered. After the cats calmed down, she said, "We have Thunderstorm, our new head warrior. We also have Roselight and Whiteash joining us. Our new apprentices are Cobaltpaw, Azurepaw, and Darkpaw. Cobaltpaw, your mentor will be Talonstrike. Azurepaw, your mentor will be Thunderstorm. Darkpaw, your mentor will be Whiteash. Please welcome these cats!"
The clan cheered. "Thunderstorm! Roselight! Whiteash! Cobaltpaw! Azurepaw! Darkpaw!"
"Also, there is an apprentice who is ready to be made warrior today. Redstorm, do you believe that Sweetpaw is fully trained in the ways of a warrior and the warrior code?"
"Yes, Brookstar."
"Then Sweetpaw, come up here," Brookstar commanded. Sweetpaw, overjoyed, tried not to jump like a kit as she marched up onto the HighStone. "Sweetpaw, do you promise to uphold and defend the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then from now on, you will be known as Sweetrose. FalconClan honors your intelligence and integrity, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar put her muzzle on the top of Sweetrose's head and the newly made warrior licked the leader's shoulder.
"Sweetrose! Sweetrose!" The clan cheered.
Before leaping down to join her clan, Brookstar announced, "Meeting dismissed!"

Foxes!

Brookstar emerged from her den, well rested. It was still early in the morning, with the first signs of the sun's warmth creeping through the grey clouds.Most of her clan were still in their dens, asleep. The dawn patrol was beginning to move out, with (sorry, do you mind if I play your cats?) Mintbreeze, Redstorm, and Sweetpaw were finishing a plump squirrel, until a scent drifted by on the breeze. Brookstar froze. Redstorm froze as well, and they locked gazes for a moment before the ginger-furred animals were pouring in from the tunnel that lead into camp. "FalconClan! Foxes! Attack!" Brookstar yowled, leaping down in front of a large pale ginger fox with amber eyes. >These must have been the foxes that Heatstar drove into our territory!< was Brookstar's last thought before the foxes were on her. The calm clearing was suddenly filled with battling cats and foxes.

Mates Page

This is where you can talk to your mate or crush. You can also find a mate here. Apprentices and kits are not allowed to have mates, only crushes. Please inform me (Brookstar/Stormy) on the Information Page if you have a crush or confirmed mate (if your mate is played by another person, you have to have discussed your cats' relationship and confirmed it before you tell me). Enjoy!

Mates:

Darkflame and Moonblossom

Crushes:
Azurefern -> Skyblaze

Violetgaze -> Talonstrike *
Talonstrike -> Violetgaze *
Nightclaw -> Berylmist

Flarestorm -> Leafsong

Leafsong -> Flarestorm

*= not considered official, as it is forbidden.

New Cats!

Brookstar looked down at her clan, pride spreading across her fierce features like a wildfire. Seeing her clan that she loved so much working together and getting along - it was like a dream come true. "FalconClan! We have two young cats joining us today: Skypaw and Stormkit." The leader swept her amber-green gaze across the clearing. "Longwhisker, you are new but I have seen a great potential in you. I believe you are ready for your first apprentice. Skypaw will be your apprentice until he is ready and trained to be a full warrior of FalconClan. I trust that you will pass on your wisdom and courage to this young cat."

The mentor and apprentice touched noses, then sat together below the HighStone.

"Poppyleaf, you are the only queen and I understand that you have enough to worry about. However, would it be fine with you to be the foster mother of Stormkit? It seems as if he has taken a liking to you," Brookstar added, purring.

(Sunset, if you agree, then Stormkit will be your kit.)

"I understand you need some time to think about this. However, you must tell me your decision by moonhigh tonight. In the meantime, Stormkit will stay in the nursery. If you can't manage this, Poppyleaf, then we would have to feed Stormkit meat early. I'm sure it would be fine, but..." Brookstar drifted off, knowing Poppyleaf would understand.

"Now!" Brookstar let out a huff of air before speaking again. "Because Shinestream, the deputy, has not been... available lately, I will appoint a temporary deputy until Shinestream is back. Talonstrike, you are young and have not had an apprentice yet, but you have done very well and besides, you are ONLY temporary. Unless anycat has an objection," Brookstar added, looking around at the clan, daring a cat to speak. "No? Good. Well then, Talonstrike, you'd better start arranging patrols. Meeting dismissed."

Brookstar ended the meeting quickly and leaped into her den.

NEW CATS

Brookstar leaped onto the Highstone, barely supressing her excitement as she spoke. "Cats of FalconClan! We have two newcomers, Longwhisker and his mate Poppyleaf!" She gestured to the two cats beside her. "Poppyleaf will be joining as a queen, and she will be moving into the nursery. Dawnshadow, will you show them around? Thank you."
Dawnshadow nodded her head, and signaled with her tail that it was okay with her.
"Let us all welcome Poppyleaf and Longwhisker!" Brookstar leaped down from the Highstone and joined in with the cheering. >I can tell Poppyleaf and I will be good friends< Brookstar thought, purring.

September Gathering

The cats going to the September Gathering are:

Me
Shinestream

Violetgaze

Pinepaw

Mintbreeze
Spiderflight
Talonstrike
Pinepaw

Thanks!

A New Warrior

Brookstar called the clan together as she leaped onto the Highstone. "Today Mintbreeze, a warrior, will be joining us. This shows that FalconClan is growing stronger! Please welcome her!" She yowled, and then bounded down to join the clan in chanting Mintbreeze's name.

August Gathering

The cats going to the gathering are:

Me

Shinestream

Spiderflight

Redstorm

Talonstrike

Violetgaze

Sweetpaw

The rest of you will guard the camp.

(i know that's not much XD)

Thanks!

New Warrior

Brookstar leaped onto the Highrock, calling the clan to gather as she did so. "Today Talonpaw has proved himself worthy to become an apprentice." Turning to face Dawnshadow, she meowed, "is your apprentice well trained in the skills of a warrior and the warrior code?"

"He is," the silver tabby she-cat replied.

"Then Talonpaw, come up here. Talonpaw, do you promise to uphold and defend the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?" Brookstar asked.

"I do."

"Then from now on you will be named Talonstrike. We honor your loyalty, determination, and skill in battle."

The leader put her muzzle on his head and Talonstrike licked her shoulder. "Tonight you will hold vigil for the clan in silence."

Then, leaping down, Brookstar joined her clan in cheering the new warrior.

New Cats

Brookstar leaped up onto the Highstone, silver fur glinting in the sunlight. "Will all cats old enough to catch their own prey please gather here for a clan gathering!" She yowled. After the clan had all arrived, she gestured with her tail to the two young cats waiting at the base of the Highstone. "This is Pinepaw and Sweetpaw," she meowed. "They are joining FalconClan. Pinepaw wishes to take on the role of a Medicine Cat Apprentice. Violetgaze, our Medicine Cat, will mentor him until he becomes a full Medicine Cat."

"Sweetpaw will become a warrior apprentice." Brookstar's gaze swept over the cats until she found the one she was looking for. "Redstorm, you are a loyal and strong warrior. You will become Sweetpaw's mentor. I hope that you will pass on your skills to this new apprentice." After the new cats had touched noses with their mentors, Brookstar said before the clan started cheering for the new apprentices, "FalconClan is growing! We will become a strong clan!" Then, with a graceful leap, she bounded off the Highstone and started cheering for Pinepaw and Sweetpaw.

**~Brookstar~**

Patrol Page

This is where you hunt and do border patrols for your deputy or your leader, not on your own will. If you want to go hunt because you feel like it, go to Sunnyrocks or Willow Stream or something like that.

The Cloudy Gorge

This deep, deep gorge is so high up towards the mountains that it is in the clouds. You can barely see where the gorge ends and when you'd step off the edge. This is where the larger and fiercer birds, like hawks and eagles, live so if you plan on catching one, come here. However, keep this in mind: they will see you better than you will see them, so be careful- they have the higher advantage! Strictly restricted from kits, elders, and younger apprentices.

Sunnystones

Next to the Lake, it is a place of smooth stones where the sun always hits. It is excellent for hunting, fishing, drinking, and most of all, relaxing.

Welcome and Medicine Cats

Brookstar leaps up onto the Highstone and yowls for her clan to gather. "Welcome to FalconClan! First I would like to thank all of you for joining. Let me name our new deputy, Shinestream! And our Warriors: Spiderflight, Redstorm, and Dawnshadow, whose apprentice is Talonpaw!"

She waits patiently as the small clan cheers for each other. "Now, I would like to say something extremely important: We NEED a Medicine Cat. They are VERY important to a clan."

(so basically, we need someone to join as a medicine cat.)

(Also, all the important info your cats can't know but YOU need to know is posted at the top, right below the FalconClan pic)

"Meeting dismissed!" Brookstar mews, and leaps down from the Highstone to welcome the newcomers.

**~Brookstar~**

*Unofficial post*

Just for all of you to know, Rainstar of MountainClan is no more, and has been replaced with Brookstar of FalconClan. The new url is: http://brookstarfalconclan.blogspot.com/

Thanks!

**~Brookstar~**

Information Page

This is a page to let you tell me what I need to know, not Brookstar. For Example: If one of your cats die, whether you want to change your cat's picture or not, if a cat is pregnant, if I've forgotten anything or made mistakes, etc. You can tell me whatever you would like, but please, don't bombard me with repetitive messages.

~Brooklight/Brookstar

The Forest

Running rich with prey, The Forest covers up much of FalconClan territory. Because FalconClan cats specialize in their strong back legs for jumping, have long, stable claws for climbing, and have hard pads because they live among boulders, most of the prey caught are birds, rabbits, and squirrels, though there is also almost always a reasonable amount of mice and voles in the fresh-kill pile. There are four main sections of the Forest- the Aspen, Ash, Maple, and Hawthorn Woods. The center of the four Woods is Shadowpines, the darkest part of the forest.

The Marsh

The Marsh is (guess what?!) a marshy area close to the lake. It is a great place for collecting herbs and catching some waterside prey. FalconClan cats, however, don't go into the marsh that often, as though they might be able to catch fish, they would hardly EVER swim.

Training Hollow

Mentors take their apprentices here to do battle training or teach their apprentices the proper way to hunt different types of prey. It is pretty much the only place in FalconClan territory that has a nice, soft ground- perfect for training.

Shadowpines

The darkest part of the forest, where you can barely see the sunlight streaming through the trees, Shadowpines may be a little scary but runs rich with prey as not many cats go there. Be careful, though, because there are quite a lot of owls that live there. It is in the center of the four Woods, a small part of the forest nonetheless, but still menacing.

Willow Stream

Near the border between FalconClan and CloverClan, the Willow Stream is a beautiful stream, where willows drape over the water. Here you can relax, drink water, or if you can, fish. It is also a good place to hunt, as there are many a prey that come here for water.

Camp Clearing

The Camp Clearing is in the center of the FalconClan camp, with a small, broken tree trunk in the middle where the fresh-kill is kept (or the fresh-kill pile). The HighStone is also there, so cats gather there for the Clan Meetings as well.

Elder's Den

The Elder's Den is where the clan elders, or retired warriors, sleep. Elders are most known for their crankiness and grumpiness (especially towards apprentices), but the elders will always fight to the death for their clan, no matter how old they are. Located next to the Apprentice's Den and the Medicine Cat's Den, the Elder's Den is a small cave with a lichen curtain.

The Nursery

This is the Nursery, one of the most protected areas in the camp. The queens and the kits sleep and live here until the kits reach their 6th moon. Then the kits move to the Apprentice's Den and the queens move back to the Warrior's Den. It is large cave with a curtain of lichen and willow at the entrance, and there is plenty of space outside for the older kits to play.

Apprentice's Den

The Apprentice's is where Warrior Apprentice's sleep. It is right across from the Warrior's Den, and near the Camp Entrance, and is a cave between two small trees.

Warrior's Den

This is the Warrior's Den, where the deputy and warriors sleep. It is located on the left side of the Camp Entrance, so it is easier to defend the camp if intruders come. It is a rather large cave hidden behind bushes, right across the camp from the apprentice's den.

Medicine Cat's Den

This is the Medicine Cat's Den, where cats go to if they are ill or injured- or if they just need to talk to the Medicine Cat. It is a cave right between the Nursery and the Elder's Den, so it is easier for the Medicine Cat to treat elders and kits, who are more prone to sickness.

Leader's Den

Hello! Welcome to my den. It is located right behind the Highstone, where I give my meetings. Feel free to come and talk to me or ask questions/make requests.

~~Join Here!~~

You are journeying through the mountains, lost. Where is this place? Mist curls around your paws, and a cold breeze sweeps through the air. The towering trees sway, and you once again wish that you were lying wrapped up on a nice, warm, smooth stone next to a trickling stream. Suddenly, you see a small hole of thistles and brambles. What's this? You decide to take a look. Crawling through, you find yourself in the middle of a clearing, a small one, surrounded by trees and caves. There are lean, fierce-looking cats everywhere. They look at you warily as they gather in a semi-circle around you. You are surrounded. A dark tabby tom eyes you with his amber eyes, then bounds up to a silver and white tabby she-cat and whispers something to her. She pads regally to where you are as you stand, frozen to the spot. "And what is this?" She demands, looking down her nose at you. You find yourself mute, unable to speak. In the back of your mind, you make a wry remark that the question she asked was the question in your mind the moment before entering this clearing. Snorting derisively, the she-cat continues. "I am Brookstar, the leader of FalconClan, and you are intruding on my territory. Now, you have three options: leave, join us, or receive a severe consequence. You have thirty seconds to decide."
