The Winter Of Shadows

What in StarClan's name...

Prologue
---
Nightwind trampled through the snow. His paws were cold and wet from the magical frozen fluff, but he was content after stumbling upon some nice prey earlier today. He had brought it back to his Clan Leader, who lauded him with much praise. Pleased, Nightwind had a nice meal and had now gone for a walk.

Nightwind strolled through the dark woods. It was not evening yet, nor was it late afternoon, yet the darkness seemed to close in around. It was strange... a shadowy world in a winter wonderland. Nightwind stopped at the frozen river and was startled to see a big hunk of ice float pass him. As he looked, more ice chunks glided by the swirling river. Find a line of stepping stones, Nightwind hurried along to the other side of the river. The tall pine trees on this side of the forest made day seem like night. Nightwind shivered. He hoped to cross it soon. He couldn't wait to return to camp, to see his loving mate and his young kits. Suddenly Nightwind stopped. What was that noise? He couldn't hear it anymore. Probably snow falling from the trees, he though to himself. He continued through the forest. He suddenly stopped again. He had a gut feeling that he was not alone in this forest. There was an malevolent presence here. The shadows seemed to be moving.
Suddenly terrified, Nightwind ran. He ran as if he flew through the trees. And he sensed him. He knew he was here. He was behind him. And his power was unstoppable.
Nightwind's vision flashed of a sudden red, he stumbled, and his vision faded to black.

Meanwhile..
Wolves Are Attacking The Clans!

A harsh winter storm has just hit. Freezing temperatures, ice, snow, and very scarce prey. Food is hard to find. These conditions have made the wolves of a land far off quite desperate. These packs of canines have wandered into the clan lands searching for food..

The Cats of the Clans were catching what prey they could, minding their own business. Rumors of an evil ghost cat in the woods had been the talk of the camps for a few days already and was already troubling the Clans.

And then... this pack of wolves overtook the area overnight. They killed many cats who didn't flee or hide in time and stole freshkill from the camps. The wolves are believed to be hiding in the great caves somewhere on the IceClan mountain. They travel to the Clans to wreak havoc and destruction.
The Clan Leaders have come together in a Gathering to address this time of need.
What will your Clan do?
What will you do?

Tigerspirit fainted from her coldness and fell on the icy ground. It felt like her life was being told to her as she saw herself as a kit with Abduction, and Snowtuft. Then being trained as an assasin when Snowtuft had disappeared. Her whole life flashed before her eyes. Then, once again, she felt the icy coldness as she lay limp in the hole she had once thought foolishly to be where she could be safe. She was going to miss Cranepaw. She had just admitted her feelings for him and now she was going to die. She felt a tear stream down her face and turn into ice in a few seconds when it hit the ice. She had gone through so much! Being trained by Tigerstar! Snowtuft disappearing! Abduction dying! She had once been evil, now she was the deputy of a tribe!

Sorrelsoul went for a walk around camp. She thought and thought and thought. "The wolves will be coming.. And lives will be lost... And we may not win..." she mewed to herself. Sorrelsoul stared down. She saw paw steps in the snow. The deputy had been placing her paws in those same spots and they were now quite deep. She sighed. A bird's call caused her to look above. It was sitting on a branch over hanging the camp. She readied herself for an easy catch. The bird was too busy cleaning it's feather's to see her leap but it was quite obvious she was attacking when she screeched just a whisker length away. The bird cawed and it started her. Instead of catching the bird, she caught the branch. Sorrelsoul cursed as the bird flew away. "It wasn't that small either..." She scurried up the tree. "Hey.. You can see all through out the clans here!" Sorrelsoul had an idea and slowly went down the branch and leapt off, landing on her feet.

Honeystar walked over to Boltpaw. "From this moment on , you will be Boltclaw. StarClan honours you for your Cunning and Initiative." After touching the young tabby tom's head, he smiled at the newly made warrior and went over to the last three Apprentices.

Autumnpaw sat patiently with a smile on her face. She wrapped her tail over her paws and whispered to Boltclaw. "Congrats!" Boltclaw shot her a smile and sat down beside Stormstrike. Autumnpaw and Leopardpaw looked at their mother but Applefur was smiling at Boltclaw.

by Honeystar December 25th 2011, 13:06

"Boltclaw! Boltclaw! Boltclaw!" the cats from both clans kept calling out as Honeystar sat in front of Autumnpaw. After everyone settled down, he moved up closer to her. "From this day onwards you shall be known as Autumndawn. StarClan honours you for the thoughtfulness and Kindness you have shown." Honeystar placed his head on the young warriors head as the crowd began calling out Autumndawn's new name.

Leopardpaw sat beside Flamepaw and sheepishly smiled. Autumndawn sat down next to Mapleheart. Leopardpaw's tail swished on the ground uneasily and she couldnt wait to go sit down beside her sister. Watching Honeystar uneasily she lifted her head and smiled her aqua eyes shining.

by Honeystar December 25th 2011, 13:36

After everyone finished calling out "Autumndawn! Autumndawn! Autumndawn!" Honeystar walked up to Leopardpaw.
"From now on, you will be known as Leopadheart. Your Spirit, and Bravery is greatly honoured by StarClan."
"Leopardheart! Leopardheart! Leopardheart!"
Honeystar touched Leopardheart's head, then moved towards Flamepaw who was waiting last.
"From this moment on you shall be known as Flamesoul. StarClan honours you for your Determination and Loyalty."
After everyone had called out the names of the two new warriors, Honeystar leaped back to the high ridge.
"The ceremony is now over, and everyone may come to congratulate WindClan's newest warriors. They shall stand a silent vigil tonight guarding the camp. I pity whatever fool decides to make a surprise attack on us tonight." This small joke sent many mrrows among the warriors.
If only you could have been here to see this Padma Honeystar thought as he looked at his children that he and Lotusflower had been blessed with. Leaping off the ridge, he waked into his Den for a few moments to release the pent up emotions inside himself, before returning to join his clanmates, kin, and friends.

just a question, since this RPG has grown, are the wolves going to attack? people have been RPing regular Clan life for a few pages now, haven't they?

by **Nyx** December 27th 2011, 16:52

~I guess you have to ask Dragonclaw or Blizzard for that.~

It was midnight.

Iceclaw was calmly seated by the entrance of IceClan Fortress, her ears pricked and her muscles tensed. Her bright blue eyes scanned across the dark snowy plains for the slightest sign of danger.

Howl...

There was a long, mournful, plaintive howl in the distance, one that can send shudders through a kit. Iceclaw bolted upright, narrowing her eyes into slits, her ears flattened. She shivered a little when there was a second howl, most probably in response to the first.

She unsheathed her claws. If a wolf was coming, I won't let them go past me, she vowed silently, crouching in the shadows, ready to spring.

Protect... protect my Clan... even at the cost of my life.

Brightstar tried to smooth her disheveled fur down in vain. "Stupid wind," she muttered under her breath. Glancing around, she looked for Honeystar. "RiverClan could go fishing in the streams here...." she muttered thoughtfully.

~ Can we hurry with this rp? The wolves aren't really attacking ~

by **Caraway** December 29th 2011, 09:27

yeah, i agree. i said that like 4 pages ago. ._. maybe we should lock the topic and make another one called "The Wolves Attack" or something? this one is getting quite long and if the wolves attack we'll have to start a new topic in the midst of the battle.
