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.

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.
