  2. CHAPTER 8DAYS 164 - 169WARRIOR INTRODUCTION: Ferretstar - Daughter of Banishedstar and Soulfire. Mischievous and skilled like her father. Mate of Dewstar and deputy of the clan.Violetstone - Medicine cat. She-cat with white fur and red eyes. Whiskerslip - Adoptive son of Banishedstar and soulfire. Cream kit with brown tufts of fur. Tallrock - Daughter of Ferretblaze and Dewgrass. Gentle and lonely.Shortpaw - Brown tom with white tufts of fur. Owlkit - Muddy brown she-kit with dark eyes. Springkit - She-kit with reddish-brown fur and sharp claws. "Violetstone!" A frantic voice calls to the she-cat in the night. "Whiskerslip, I-" "No, Violetstone. Open your eyes." Violetstone follows the order, and who stands before her is the unmistakable silhouette of Dewstar. "Dewstar! Thank Starclan you are here, I-" "I'm here for the reason you think I am, Violetstone," says the tom, his pelt shining brilliantly with small red stars, but more noticeable were his sad, glowing eyes. "What you fear is true." "You were murdered-" "-by Ferretstar," says the fallen warrior. "If you do not speak up, she will pass on without ever facing her judgement from the living cats. Please don't be afraid." "I'll try," says Violetstone quietly. At the gathering, Violetstone is the most apprehensive and nervous cat of all. She sits, frozen, as she prepares what she will say to Ferretstar. "We have some promotions today," says Ferretstar. She looks at Shortpaw. "Shortpaw, you helped fight off the Bearyena that came and attacked our clan. Your bravery is noteworthy. You will be called Shortrain from now on." Shortrain nods his agreement. There is a pause. Then, Ferretstar continues. "Owlkit and Springkit are being promoted to apprentices today. You will be called Owlpaw and Springpaw from now on. Springpaw will be mentored by Whiskerslip, and Owlpaw will be mentored by Tallrock. Now, it's time to announce the new deputy. I choose my daughter, Tallrock." Before the clan goes to disband, Violetstone knows that this is her last chance. She takes a deep breath. "Hold on, Ferretstar. I have something to say." The leader flattens her ears. "Yes, Violetstone?" "There is something that you have not accounted for." She rises to her feet, shaking. "Starclan has spoken me, and the message is grievous." "And what is that message?" Ferretstar asks, feeling her chest tighten. Has Starclan turned their back on the leader of the clan? "You were the murderer of Dewstar." The words come out even worse than Violetstone thought they would, making her mouth dry. "You dare accuse me of such crimes?" Hisses the she cat, raising her hackles. "I -" "Violetstone's right," says Whiskerslip, flattening his ears. "We know what you did, Ferretstar. "Tallrock!" Hisses Ferretstar, looking intensely at her daughter. "This is treason, is it not?" Tallrock's ears are flat and her eyes unsure. "Mother, I... Would you have done that?" The old she cat's eyes are furious now, but afraid. "All of you- I-" She is silent with anger for a moment before turning to attack Violetstone. The clan pulls her off of Violetstone, but she thrashes out of their grasp and disappears into the bushes. "She won't survive long," says Tallrock softly. "She's so old." Her voice shakes. "I can't believe it. Dad..." Violetstone gets to her paws and nuzzles the crying she-cat. "You can carry on his legacy now..Tallstar." Realizing the she-cat's words, Tallstar takes a deep breath and tearfully stands before the clan. "I.. I now take my place as leader," she says. "I appoint my deputy to be Whiskerslip." She smiles at the warrior, whose eyes widen in disbelief. Even after Ferretstar is gone, the clan has trouble becoming the same again. "It's hard to believe I'm deputy now," Whiskerslip confides in Violetstone. "I never thought I'd be able to ever reach a status like this." "I believe in you," says Violetstone, licking Whiskerslip gently. "I will always be here for you. You saved our clan." "Violetstone?" "Yes, Whiskerslip?" "I have a question to ask you...." ---- The clan is shocked at the news, and whispers are heard all around the clan. A medicine cat? Having kits? Impossible! "Our clan needs to rebuild," says Violetstone defensively. "Starclan can judge me as they may." -- Ferretstar wakes up in a land of light and pleasant smells. "Ferretstar." The red she-cat turns around to see a strong, young beige tom before her. He is shrouded in brilliant light on his face and shoulders, not a scar to be seen. "Who are you?" She asks, flattening her ears. He seems familiar, but she has never seen whoever this is like this before. Coming closer and taking in the tom's scent, she can't believe her eyes. "...Father. Your.. your scars-" "They heal. Most things do. It is the scars on the inside that don't fade away so easy," says Banishedstar. "The scars you leave on the hearts and minds of those who loved you." Banishedstar's eyes are sad. Another tom approaches. Ferretstar begins to feel sick. It couldn't be. "I loved you." Dewstar says quietly. His voice shows no anger or contempt- it is still numb with shock as if Ferretstar's actions were just done. "I'm sorry," says Ferretstar, more to Banishedstar than her mate. "You ran like a coward, Ferretstar. You would have hid your actions til the day you died." "I was doing what I thought was best for the clan!" "You'd have died naturally before Dewstar did. You wanted a taste of power, too." "But don't you understand? How does it feel to watch your father care for an orphaned apprentice more than he cared for you. All I had was Mom!" The she-cat begins to feel herself slip, as if the ground below her is growing steeper and steeper. Her claws cling to no avail, and the last lights she sees are the four sad eyes watching her before she tumbles through a ball of mist into a place where stars dare not shine. -- Violetstone and Whiskerslip's kit comes- a daughter. She is relaxed and docile, having trouble asserting herself. "We will call her Grasskit," says Whiskerslip softly. "After Dewstar when he was Dewgrass."

  3. my sugguestion for a new hot climate biome: mesa as it said it is a hot climate biome but it has a bit more vegetation like trees, bushes and grass; has rock formations, sand, clay and some grass tiles; visible cliffs and peaks (and in some occasions: canyons); has trees, cactus, both normal and bare berry bushes (the normal ones are mostly rare) as well a new berry bush native of this biome: spicy berry bush (will make creatures feel hot or burn (the risk of burning will only happen in a 50% of chance in the sandstorm event) when picked up, it can be only harvested without problems by creatures with one or more heat resistance genes); has insects to collect; of course also has rogue males (sometimes) and wanderers; and for the entity creatures has regular game ones which are blue birds (sometimes depending on the island), bearyenas, stagmoles and dodomingos and new creatures natives of this biome (some of these also live in the savannah) which are geckoleons (gecko + chameleon) as prey entities, lionyxes (lion + lynx) and balance coyote as predator entities and for hybrid gene entities would be: armagolin (armadillo + pangolin) and zebraroo (kangaroo + zebra) as prey entities and dingodille (dingo + crocodile) as predator entitiy; and new ancient genes that can be found by crackling solid clay blocks (most of them are dinosaur based) (so new regular, hybrid and ancient genes (yay!)). the islands would be like: -arid mesa (medium island) -crimson peaks (medium island) -sunlight lake (hard island) -rocky gulch (hard island) -dried bone canyon (killer island) any ideas, sugguestions, art based on this as well something to correct if there's something wrong?

  5. CHAPTER 9DAYS 181 - 204WARRIOR INTRODUCTION: Tallstar - Daughter of Ferretstar and Dewstar. Gentle and lonely.Whiskerslip - Adoptive son of Banishedstar and soulfire. Cream kit with brown tufts of fur. Deputy of the clan.Violetstone - Medicine cat. She-cat with white fur and red eyes.Shortrain - Brown tom with white tufts of fur.Owlshred - Muddy brown shecat with dark eyes.Springpad - She-cat with reddish-brown fur and sharp claws. Wolfvine - Blue-grey cat with beige tufts of fur and an odd face. Grasspaw - Daughter of Whiskerslip and Violetstone. Medicine cat apprentice with mottled, patchy fur. Flightpaw - Black she-cat who was taken in by Owlshred. "You seem a lot happier lately," says Springpad to Owlshred as they travel to the new island. "Could it be due to your new apprentice?" "She reminds me of what I once was," says Owlshred as she watches Flightpaw run ahead and weave around the other warriors. "But she's so docile and kind. I pray to Starclan that one day she does not think I took her away from her home." "I'm sure it'll be fine, Owlshred." Springpad smiles. On the journey, Wolfvine is flirting with Tallstar. "Do you suppose that we could be mates, perhaps?" He asks cooly, trying to sound as attractive as he can. The she-cat rolls her eyes and smiles. "Sure, Wolfvine." But on the inside, she is rather happy- no one has ever picked her before. The journey takes two and a half days. But when they reach the edge of the island, they notice something. They can go.. anywhere? "Well." Says Tallstar. "Any ideas?" "How about... a rainforest?" Asks Wolfvine. "Sounds fun." "Or a swamp?" Asks Springpad. "I've heard tales of Home Island," says Owlshred. "Sounds peaceful." Shortrain shrugs again. "I don't care." Violetstone thinks hard, wondering where Starclan is directing the clan. "Wolfvine's idea sounds good. But it must be a very lush jungle." "Or maybe part jungle, part field," says Whiskerslip. "We'll go to where Violetstone has said," says Tallstar. After another two and a half days, the clan arrives on their new home. Violetstone dies peacefully of old age. The clan respectfully buries their loyal medicine cat, and Grasspaw takes her place. Soon, Violetstone visits her in a dream. "Grasspaw. I"m very proud of you." Grasspaw smiles, approaching her mother, who gives off a greenish, starry glow now. Her eyes shine like rubies. "I don't want you to be afraid, Grasspaw. I've trained you well, and your new island is a land of plenty. New things are all around you." "Thank you, mother." "But I come with an omen as well. Lichenclan's food supply is slowly dwindling, and if the clan does not focus on searching for food more, it is possible you will starve. Please warn Tallstar. Though she focuses on having a kit with Wolfvine, she's letting it distract her from the clan's needs." "I will pass it on." "As medicine cat, you are to be called Grassfrog. Remember who you are." Grassfrog nuzzles her mother as she fades away into the moonlight and she wakes up in the medicine cat den. She spreads the message to her leader. Tallstar is not pleased with what Starclan said about her and Wolfvine, but she understands. It's time for another gathering. "We have two new promotions to announce. Firstly, Grasspaw is officially Grassfrog, and is the new medicine cat of the clan," Tallstar purrs. "Secondly, we have a new warrior to announce. Flightpaw has worked hard and grown up in the clan, and we are very proud of her. We will call her Flightshadow for her dark fur." Tallstar wants to announce that she is having a kit, but does not want to offend starclan. "We also have to focus on an issue in the clan. We need more food, or at least need to be collecting food at a faster rate. Without this, we will eventually starve." The clan murmurs anxiously, but vows to work hard with hunting. Some more time passes, and Flightshadow is considering her feelings. Finally, she approaches Whiskerslip. "Hey, Whiskerslip? I was wondering. Would you like to be my mate?" Whiskerslip is taken off guard. He hasn't even thought of having a mate, especially not after Violetstone died. He was in love with her and had a kit with her, but she never declared they were mates due to the fact she was a medicine cat. "Um... Sure, Flightshadow," he says, smiling. He feels a pang of sadness considering the memory of Violetstone, but he knows this is what she would want- him to move on with a cat hat he can actually be with without going against the warrior code. Tallstar and Wolfvine's kit is born- a tomkit. He is named Nimblekit, for he is playful and impulsive. Soon after, Whiskerslip and Flightshadow have their kit- a she-cat who looks similar to her half-sister, Grassfrog. She is more sassy than her sister, however, and is named Breezekit.

  6. CHAPTER 9 DAYS 170 - 180WARRIOR INTRODUCTION: Tallstar - Daughter of Ferretstar and Dewstar. Gentle and lonely. Whiskerslip - Adoptive son of Banishedstar and soulfire. Cream kit with brown tufts of fur. Deputy of the clan.Violetstone - Medicine cat. She-cat with white fur and red eyes.Shortrain - Brown tom with white tufts of fur. Owlpaw - Muddy brown she-kit with dark eyes. Springpaw - She-kit with reddish-brown fur and sharp claws. The clan finds a grey-blue, strange looking apprentice on their territory. 'Who are you? Asks Whiskerslip, patrolling the border. "I'm Wolfpaw," says the tom, giving a relaxed smile. "Looking for a clan. May I join?" Wolfpaw is welcomed into the clan. He is shown to be a lax, friendly cat, though his appearance may throw a stranger off. He's almost a warrior, so Shortrain is assigned to make sure he knows all he needs. Meanwhile, the other apprentices are being assessed. Owlpaw isn't specifically skilled in any certain field and rather is decent in multiple ones. She still carries her melancholy air. Springpaw carries on the legacy of her ancestors by yet again surpassing everyone else in strength, even Tallrock. She impresses many. "Aren't you excited to be a warrior?" Springpaw asks, nudging her friend. Owlpaw shrugs dismissively. "I don't know. I find it hard to get excited about a lot, you know?" Springpaw flattens her ears. The air of sadness over Owlpaw still hangs nearly tangibly, though her parents died moons ago. "I promise there is hope, Owlpaw." But Owlpaw just rolls over, not facing her friend. One day, a rogue male approaches Violetstone. "Hello there. Your white fur is lovely." He has a flirtatious grin. "Not interested," she says. "I have a mate." "Come on. You sure? Give me and my buddies a shot. I'm Cloverstar." Owlpaw overhears the conversation, and crouches in the grass to watch. Through her observation, she notices that they are not after Violetstone- they are trying to steal Grasskit! "Hey, back off!" Hisses the she-cat, the fur on her back bristling. "You don't want her. You're looking to steal her kit for your own clan." She swipes at the rogue who was near Grasskit, and he recoils angrily. Cloverstar charges Owlpaw, but they hear a loud hiss as Tallstar approaches the scene. "Get off of Lichenclan territory. We don't suffer fools lightly." Her claws extend. Owlpaw could have been fought off easily, but with Tallstar by her side, the rogues would not have a chance. "Come on, let's get out of here," Cloverstar hisses, leaving Owlpaw standing over Grasskit bravely. "You were very brave," Violetstone declares, nuzzling the apprentice proudly. "I know what it's like to be stripped of your family. I will not let that happen." "I think you showed the bravery of a warrior just now," Tallstar says to Owlpaw. "Come with me." "You showed capability to fight with the fury of all of Starclan, even when outnumbered. You are both wise and fiery. For this, you will be called Owlshred. You are a warrior now." "Thank you, Tallstar." The clan finds an abandoned she-kit on clan borders. They take her in. "What's your name?" Asks Wolfpaw, who is the second-most newest member of the clan. "I'm Flightkit," she says. "They called me that because I ran so fast. But... I ran too far." "Then you can stay with us, Flightkit," says Owlshred. "I will care for you." A clan meeting is arranged. "We have several promotions in order," says Tallstar, trying to sound cheerful. The last gathering was when she found out the betrayal of her mother, so she isn't feeling too easygoing. "Firstly, we have two kits ready for promotion today into apprentices. One of which is in training to be a medicine cat." She looks at Grasskit, who smiles at her. "You will be apprenticed by Violetstone, and from this day on you are called Grasspaw." "Next, Flightkit." Owlshred nudges her excitedly. "From this day on you are to be called Flightpaw. Owlshred has asked to mentor you." Purrs of congratulation come from the clan to both of the kits. "Next up, even more exciting news- two new warriors will be made today! First up is Springpaw. Springpaw, you exhibit great strength, and I am proud to call you my daughter. You will fight many battles for our clan, and I know your future is bright. From this day on, you are to be called Springpad for your strong paws." "The second warrior to be initiated is Wolfpaw. He only came into the clan recently, but we are glad he is here, and we hope he stays for all his life. From this day on, he is to be called Wolfvine." Yowls of approval come from the clan. "Now, I have one more topic to discuss," says Tallstar. "I know that you all have seen the many rogues near our clan. I think if we stay much longer, we will be in danger, and I wish for us to exit this territory when we can." She pauses. "There is a path we can take that is east once again. I want to know if the clan feels as if they are ready to move on or not." Whiskerslip, clan deputy, is first to speak up. "I say we go. It is our time to move on, and I feel it is too sketchy to stay here." Violetstone looks at Whiskerslip. "I'm... I'm really not sure about that. I have not received a message about this from Starclan, and the last time we moved there was a message to Banishedstar." Springpad purrs in agreement. "We can hold our own here just fine." Shortrain shrugs. "I'm fine either way, honestly." Wolfvine nods with Shortrain, as does Owlshred. "I still contest that we go," says Tallstar. "We begin our journey at dawn."

  38. CHAPTER 8 DAYS 141 - 163 WARRIOR INTRODUCTION: Dewstar - Tan tom with brown spots. Leader of the clan. Ferretblaze - Daughter of Banishedstar and Soulfire. Mischievous and skilled like her father. Mate of Dewstar and deputy of the clan. Violetstone - Medicine cat. She-cat with white fur and red eyes.Soulfire - She-cat with dark red fur and blue eyes.Tiderush - Light red she-cat with dark eyes. Morningmud - Muddy brown tom. Rabbitsun - Son of Banishedstar and Soulfire. White fur and red eyes with a clever mind. Whiskerslip - Adoptive son of Banishedstar and soulfire. Cream kit with brown tufts of fur. Tallrock - Daughter of Ferretblaze and Dewgrass. Gentle and lonely. Shortkit - Brown kit with white tufts of fur. Tiderush and Morningmud prepare to have a kit. All seems well with the clan- but unprecedented struggles are on the horizon... Tallrock also announces that she is to be having a kit soon. "What? But you don't even have a mate!" says Whiskerslip, shocked by his childhood friend's announcement. "It's with a rogue bearyena. He's friendly," she says to him. Soulfire dies of old age. The clan gives her an honorable burial. One day, Ferretblaze invites Dewstar to patrol borders with her. Not having gotten to have a good conversation with her in a while, he follows. "You know, Ferretblaze, we're rather far from camp. We should go back," he says after a while. "Dewstar, I brought you here to discuss your leadership." She looks at the tom. "You know why my father chose you as leader. You were his favorite, and he felt sorry for you. You couldn't fight like other warriors could. Don't you realize your potential? With this power, you can change the clan." "I think the way the clan is run is fine," says Dewstar. "You'll have your turn- after all, I made you deputy." "I don't think you understand," says Ferretblaze, coming closer. "By the time you die, I'll be right after. I will have no influence, and the clan will likely face another period of mediocricy." "Are you challenging me?" Asks Dewstar, flattening his ears, the same way Banishedstar had taught him when he was being criticized. "Don't give me that copycat look," hisses Ferretblaze, unsheathing her claws. "I'm not settling for second place anymore." Ferretblaze comes back to the clan, panting heavily in a panic. "Dewstar is dead!" "What?!" Yowls of horror come out of the clan. "We were ambushed by a bearyena while patrolling. I couldn't fight him off. Dewstar was defenseless." The she-cat hangs her head in sorrow. The clan gathers around her, nuzzling her comfortingly. All but Whiskerslip. Ferretblaze is strong. She could at least fight off a predator until her leader got away. Isn't the life of the leader a deputy's priority? Tallrock exhibits worry from the queen's den as well. A bearyena has murdered the clan leader- how will they accept her kit? "It is with a heavy heart I take on the position as Ferretstar, leader," says Ferretstar. "I set my deputy to be Rabbitsun." Tiderush has she and Morningmud's kit.She is a brown color like her father, and she is named Owlkit. She is a soft-spoken, patient kit. Lucky for Tallrock, meanwhile, her kit bears little to no resemblance to a bearyena. She looks just like her mother, and would not throw even the most suspicious, vengeful warrior into suspicion. She is a playful, lighthearted kit, and her mother names her Springkit accordingly. Whiskerslip comes to Violetstone in the night. "Violetstone." "Huh..... B..Banishedstar?" She says, confusing Whiskerslip's voice, in hopes that she is being given a message from Starclan. "No, wake up. It's me.... Whiskerslip!" "Whiskerslip? What is it?" Asks the she-cat sleepily. "Something troubles me." "Well, a medicine cat's job is to comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable." The white she-cat's fur glistens in the moonlight as she sretches and gets to her feet. "What is it?" "I... I have my doubts about the integrity of our leader." "Why?" She asks, flattening her ears. "My niece hasn't been leader for very long, Whiskerslip. Give her some time." "Ferretstar hasn't been the best to me." "So? She's just a harsh mentor, probably." "No, Violetstone. You've seen her strength. Don't you think she could have fended the bearyena off until her own leader- her own mate- got away?" "Are you insinuating Ferretstar would kill her own mate to be leader, even though she was already deputy?" Whiskerslip flattens his ears. "Well- no, but-" "Don't." Violetstone looks into Whiskerslip's eyes, her piercing red irises cutting into him. There is a tense silence for a moment. "Starclan told me she would be leader." She looks at Whiskerslip. "She has their blessing, I think." She sighs. "I will keep watch, Whiskerslip. I cannot promise anything, but I trust you." "Thank you, Violetstone." Whiskerslip gives her a gentle lick on the cheek before exiting the medicine cat den. Shortkit is promoted to an apprentice as Shortpaw, and is assigned to Rabbitsun. A bearyena comes and kills Morningmud. Able-bodied wariors rush to attack it. Rabbitsun is one of the first warriors to the scene. The bearyena gravely wounds his back left leg and upper chest, forcing him far backward and bleeding heavily. Shortpaw manages to finish the creature off, but the damage is done. Violetstone gets Rabbitsun back to the medicine cat den. She fixes his wounds the best she can. While she is working, she feels a presence behind her and turns around to see Ferretstar. "Will he live?" Asks the she-cat, seeing the now sleeping figure of Rabbitsun. "I believe so, yes," says Violetstone. "But he will have to learn to live on three legs. And will certainly live with a deep scar on his chest for the rest of his life." She flattens her ears. "He will never hunt again. I don't know if his body could handle being a leader." "Then he will be demoted." "Ferretstar, let him tell you that. I will convince him to step down, but there is nothing more humiliating for him after all of this. Do not demote him." As Ferretstar leaves the den, Violetstone is forced to reconsider Whiskerslip's words from before. Maybe he was right. Tiderush dies of old age, leaving Owlkit completely an orphan. She grows stoic and sullen, rarely speaking to others. Another bearyena comes after the clan, delaying the gathering. It comes after Rabbitsun once again, this time reopening his wound and killing him.

  39. CHAPTER FIVE DAYS 97 - 119 "Violetpaw," a familiar, distant voice calls to Violetpaw in her sleep. She is roused from the mist of unconsciousness, and can tell by the air of her surroundings that she is in a dream. The voice calls again. "Violetpaw." A figure is approaching the she-cat in the distance. The bristly fur on her back and her icy blue eyes are unmistakable. Stars glitter the she-cat's fur, and there is only one cat Violetpaw knows it could be. "Mother!" The she cat charges at the familiar figure, and takes in her scent as she nuzzles her for the first time in a long while. "What are you doing here?" "I bring you a message. You are ready, and the light of medicine cat knowledge is being passed onto you." Bruisestar does not blink as she speaks, her lights forever illuminating their surroundings with a beautiful blue. "I can't believe you came to tell me," Violetpaw says, smiling. "Of course. I couldn't miss an opportunity for one more initiation." She puffs out her chest. "You will be called Violetstone. You have had to learn your trade almost entirely on your own, and it has made you strong." "Thank you, Mother." "But one more thing. Tell Banishedstar to follow my plans of moving territories. Your time on our original island is coming to an end, and we must face both great struggle and great reward in a new land. Starclan will be watching you." Bruisestar fades out, and Violetstone is awakened to the early lights of morning. "I am to be referred to as Violetstone now," she informs Banishedstar. "It is a message I received from Starclan- the clearest one yet." "Then Violetstone you will be," says the leader. "We will tell them at the gathering tomorrow." Violetstone also tells Banishedstar the commands from Bruisestar. At the gathering, Banishedstar keeps his promise. "Today, we celebrate the initiation of the clan's second official medicine cat. Violetpaw, as you once knew her, received a message from Starclan and is to be referred to as Violetstone from now on." Clan members purr and nod at Violetstone with respect. "And another initiation," Banishedstar goes on. "I believe it is time we induct Ferretpaw amongst our warriors." He looks at his daughter, who is more shocked than anything. "She has trained hard and hunted for us for a while now. It is her time to prove herself as a full warrior." Ferretpaw's ears prick forward. "You will be called Ferretblaze, for your fury and your similarity to your mother, Soulfire." Ferretblaze looks pensive about the name, but is excited to accept it. "Now, the message from Starclan Violetstone received," says Banishedstar. "We are ordered to move islands, as Bruisestar had instructed us to do before her death." He is met with varying replies from his clan. "We will discuss now." Tiderush is the first to speak. "We should go north. It looks like a good place to explore and get easy food." "Perhaps," says Soulfire, "But we will never improve if we stay in somewhere easy. Why not head east?" She flicks her tail. Ferretblaze, after seeing her mother speak, decides to contribute during her first gathering as an official warrior. "I agree. East!" Dewgrass flattens his ears. "I don't know. Are you sure you guys don't want to go North?" Confused, Banishedstar looks to Violetstone. "Did Starclan give you a specific direction?" Violetstone shakes her head. "No, but I think more of us should consider West..." Banishedstar feels himself getting sick. He hates conflict, and honestly would rather stay on the island than go to somewhere new. He looks about is clan. They are a thick-coated lot, and none of them seem like they'd specifically do unwell in a cold climate. But will the clan think he is displaying favoritism towards his family? He takes a deep breath. "We will go east at dawn." The stones were misleading, and everyone ends up on a Whale-shaped island. Smooth. Literally everyone is hot. Except Morningkit, who has 1 heat resistance. Noice. Hey, at least there's a surplus of food. Ferretblaze and Dewgrass become mates and annoucne they will be having a kit. Morningkit is promoted to apprentice and becomes Morningpaw. Banishedstar assigns Morningpaw to be the apprentice of Dewgrass. "Get to know him," he says with a smile. "Care for him like I did for you." Ferretblaze and Dewgrass's kit is born- a light red she-kit. Ferretblaze names the kit Tallkit due to her height. Tallkit is eccentric and lonely, but is sweet. Soulfire and Banishedstar decide to have another kit. A bearyena comes after the clan, though- able bodied warriors gather to fight it. Banishedstar teams up with Morningpaw to take it down. "Very well done!" He encourages. A new kit is also found on clan territory- only two moons old. "I'll take him in with my newborn kit," says Soulfire. "I'll call him Whiskerkit." Whiskerkit is a sweet and jolly kit, sensitive to the feelings of others. When Soulfire's biological kit is born, everyone is suprised to see he is as white as Violetstone. He is named Rabbitkit for his pure white color. He is more mischievous than his brother, becoming known for his cleverness.

  40. I'm not a Niche player, but I will say that some cat colorations are absolutely linked to gender. For instance, calico coloring is a gene on the X chromosome. It is, as you say, more complicated than that, but at the end of the day, almost every calico is female unless they have a genetic anomaly in which they have three chromosomes. (XXY)
