widowclan (complete chapter 1- widowstar and maplestar's reign)

[georgie]

ok hi im bored and want to play niche ok? ok lets start

 

 

I would go with the whole adam's story thing but that's boring so adam is now widowstar, who ran away from his original family with dreams of leading a clan. he ventures into the swamp looking for a challenge, but only finding berries and reeds.

 

widowstar, the self proclaimed leader of widowclan, decides the "responsibe adult thing" to do is to migrate in search of wandering nichelings.

arriving on this strange new island, he finds an actual adult (thank god, nobody can trust this kid on his own) called thornwhisper. she's actually very serious and knows her way around, which is a contrast to widowstar, who thinks he is like that but is actually a dumb idiot.

thornwhisper tries to get widow "star" to actually be serious, but he runs off, killing a mole. although she is impressed, she also goes to kill a rabbil with ease. both of them are jealous of eachother, especially since widowstar is actually an adult now. time to stop being mean to widowstar.

after some more "quality" time spent together, they agree this island is too small to hold the both of them and their urge to adventure, so they migrate to a new island. not before widowstar kills a mole because widowstar. he didn't even get to collect the meat the absolute idiot

on the new island, thornwhisper is faced with a nest right in her face next to a berry bush- the perfect spot to raise their first child. widowstar tells this to thornwhisper, but she says:

 

"im already pregnant"

 

dun dUN DUUUUUUNNNN

(ok that wasn't a shock at all im just trying to make this playthrough somewhat serious)

here we are, on the new island. what will widowstar think of the first child of not only himself, but of widowclan? what will they both think when they end up on another boring grassland island with no challenge? what will they think when they find out this is where they will die and they will stay here forever because their life is only a few weeks long and they are only merely here to produce offspring and pass on their genes and that there is an overlord looking over their whole lives and that their existence is an illusion created for the entertainment of a superior species, laughing as they slowly wither away and die?

 

FIND OUT IN LIKE 10 MINUTES OR SOMETHING BECAUSE IM GONNA CARRY ON PLAYING

[Sky]

hopefully Widowstar won't make Thornwhisper a widow

[georgie]

ok so im back I just played the next few days 

 

widowstar and his new mate thornwhisper settle down in their new home, anxiously waiting for the birth of their child. early next morning, they find a tiny child in the nest at thornwhisper's feet. she quietly opens her eyes, revealing pupils that are as dark as the cold abyss of space

"nightheart" widowstar mumbled softly.

"lets call her nightheart"

 

ARE YOU PROUD OF ME MUM I WROTE SERIOUS

the next day, adams journies towards the mole he heard earlier in the grasses, hoping for some food to feed his new daughter. and he is trapped with berry bushes so he cant get to the mole. for fu- hecks sake widowstar I thought you turned into a responsibe adult but no

quite annoyed, he goes the other way to get to the mole, before he pounces and kills the mole. meanwhile thornwhisper worries about this whole new challenge of raising a child, watching as nightheart sniffs the air with curiosity, catching the scent of a root. she tries to follow her father, but thornwhisper grabs her, still worried about her. she has no ram horns or big body, after all. nightheart, eager to prove her strength to her mother, leaps to her father side and digs up the root she smelt, feeding both her parents for the day. unfortunately, thornwhisper is too caught up in her daughters safety to recognise she has been infected with a leech, which nightheart notices immediately and pulls of her mother. widowstar and his mate begin to realise that her daughter may be called nightheart, but she has a heart of gold.

well done me I actually wrote seriously for most of this post. yaay for seriousness. on another note though I actually love the way this story has gone

I read the title incorrectly as “WindowClan” and I wanted to make a Windows XP joke but I can’t

Same thing happened with the root it looks like! XD 

[georgie]

ok, I played through the next few things and some very interesting stuff has happened. here it is:

 

widowstar and thornwhisper, realising their daughter will be fine on her own, decide to take her on a scouting mission to the nearby tree. they attempt some hunting, but they are too slow, and too distracted by the nest that has been found.

a few days of hunting pass (with varying results *cough* widowstar is still stupid *cough*) and eventually the pair decide it is time to settle down and have a new child, as they do not want nightheart to grow up alone. just as thornwhisper prepares her nest for a child, a wandering creature appears from the grasses, who introduced herself as hazelmist. she noticed nightheart struggling to find roots because of her poison fangs, and offered to help her. thornwhisper seems suspicious, but widowstar glances at her nimble fingers and decides she should be invited in. reluctantly, thornwhisper offers the mole she just caught to her.

as nightheart returns from a root gathering expedition, she notices this mysterious female sitting with her parents, happily discussing different things- she introduces herself, and they immediately become friends after they head off to gather the roots nightheart had not noticed before.

early the next morning, a new baby lifts her head from the moss surrounding her nest. widowstar and thornwhisper look down at the baby happily, and they name her bloodstripe after her bright red fur and blood red stripes. she seems eager to explore, and nightheart happily offers to wait until bloodstipe is old enough to leave so she can go with her older sister.

[georgie]

the day passes. nightheart and hazelmist return back to the tree to wait for bloodstriple to grow, and hazelmist takes this as a good opportunity to show the family how to crack open nuts. she doesn't find any on that turn, but everyone is excitedly anticipating the moment somebody gets to eat an acorn.

the next morning there is rain, which exites widowstar and thornwhisper, as they get to gather more food. the leader successfully hunts a mole, which makes thornwhisper happy as she realises her mate is starting to develop his skills as he grows older. she is still nervous, as she knows they are getting old, and they need to have a son, or atleast someone who has the home island immunity.

after asking nightheart to shake the tree, hazelmist gathers the first two acorns of the tribe. she gives one two her friend, nightheart, and then eats the other one. the two spend the day discussing where they both come from, and grow very close.

widowstar and thornwhisper decide it would be for the best if they have another child, so they bread and she settles down in the same nest she had her previous child. as both of their children and hazelmist wander into the distance, they know that their new child will have a happy life in this tiny family.

as the day passes, thornwhisper looks down to see a huge, fluffy baby boy in the nest. they both seem pleased to have a male, but widowstar knows he is not suitable for being an heir, as he does not have home island immunity. they agree another child will be necessary, but they still love the baby they call bloodmoon with all of their heart.

[georgie]

as the three explorers venture further into the grasses, bloodstripe gathers her first root with the help of nightheart (which bloodstripe is angry about because she thinks she needs nobody's help) and hazelmist spots a rabbil in the grass. she leaps forward, catching it with ease. that is their meal for the day, and nightheart goes to gather roots, hoping to impress this amazing nicheling, who seems to be able to do anything. they spend the rest of the day together- and the two best friends start to realise there may be something else blossoming between them. bloodstripe watches from behind, occasionally taunting her sister about her crush.

meanwhile, thornwhisper, widowstar and their new son prepares for the next addition to the family. thornwhisper decides she should build a nest to try and attract the gods, but she is a bit distracted by a crabbit which is wandering around in circles around them. bloodmoon finds this whole ordeal extremely funny, but widowstar is not impressed by this annoying crabbit.

the next day, thornwhisper gives birth to a new baby, whom they call maplefang. widowstar looks pleased with his second son, and decides he should be heir, as he can sense the home island immunity inside of him. bloodmoon, however, is very curious about this baby, as he is extremely similar to him; as if he was looking into a mirror. as he sniffs around his brother, the leader and his mate laugh, as they know their final two children will get along very well.

on the other side of the island, hazelmist smells a wanderer in the grasses. she chases after him, forcing nightheart and her sister to follow. he emerges infront of widowstar and his children, which alarms him, and he gives the wanderer food, hoping he wont do any harm to his new children. he takes the food and walks off to kill a mole, but doesn't bother introducing himself. bloodstripe is very curious of this seemingly nameless creature, and watches him eagerly, so does bloodmoon. hazelmist and nightheart decide they should tell their parents about their new love. widowstar is happy for them, but thornwhisper looks sadly into her daughter's eyes, knowing that she will pass soon and never see their possible children. the new pair spend the day playing with the babies, who nightheart is overjoyed to finally meet.

That was awesome! I love this playthrough so far.

thank you!!!

 

as the night passes, thornwhisper passes peacefully and widowstar wakes up to find her lying lifelessly on the ground. he wakes up nightheart, and although she is heartbroken, she digs up the ground and buries her mother. as soon as the whole tribe wakes, they all gather around her grave and think about what they will do without her. not a word is spoken that day.

[Arcsoft]

Aww rip Thornwhisper.

[georgie]

as the next day passes, everyone begins to go back to normal. widowstar, who has already informed everyone he will also pass soon, went to do some hunting. hazelmist and nightheart go back under the tree, and gather enough acorns to feed the tribe. sprucespike hunts with widowstar, comforting him, and bloodstripe wanders off to clear her mind. she finds a nest by the shores, which she quietly giggles at, because she never thought she would have children. just as she goes to carry on exploring, bloodmoon approaches her to tell her the wanderer who she admired so much was called sprucestripe, which immediately made her realise what this nest was trying to tell her. she glances over to sprucestripe, as he comforted her father. she knew what she wanted to do.

as the day passes, so does widowstar. maplefang is named maplestar, and he nervously wonders what he should do with the rank of leader. maybe I could just carry on as normal, and everyone will be ok, he thought.

although everyone is saddened by the death of the first two nichelings, nightheart and hazelmist decide they should have children before hazelmist passes too. nightheart approaches bloodmoon and asks if he could be the father of their child, and he agrees happily. hazelmist settles down in a nest, and the two anticipate the birth of their child.

as the day passes, cloudmeadow is born; a gorgeous white female, who makes nightheart and hazelmist very happy. the tribe distracts themselves from the death of the first two creatures by playing with the baby, and she shyly hides next to her mothers, one of which are preparing for their next child, as she knows she will be passing soon.

bloodstripe finally confesses her love to sprucespike, who is shocked that anybody thought that he wasn't an ugly outcast. they bread and settle down in the nest bloodstripe found yesterday.

as the new mating pair settled down, hazelmist gave birth to her final child, raincloud, and passed from the pain moments later. nightheart was frozen in despair, and maplestar came to comfort her.

"its nice to see some new babies in the tribe, it was getting boring without any youngsters to liven things up around here. im sure cloudmeadow and raincloud will make great additions to our clan."

nightheart smiled softly. she was also exited for the birth of her sister's first child.

[Arcsoft]

Wow. I have no words, just wow.

[georgie]

the next day, flamethorn is born to bloodstripe and sprucespike. she is absolutely stunning, and everyone was admiring her from a distance. bloodstripe was content, as she knew this was what she was meant to do with her life

[Arcsoft]

Woah I love her.

[georgie]

were back! considering were only on day 26 and the savefile says ive been playing for about 4 hours, I think this is the longest stretched out playthrough ive ever done lmao.

nightheart, staring down at the dead crabbit at her feet begins to accept that things will change, and her priority now needs to change from mourning her lost love to raising her two new babies, and the new leader maplestar is happy to help his older sister.

nightheart decides the first order of business to help her children learn is to teach them how to crack acorns. surely if their mother could do it, they could too. cloudmeadow tries to crack one open, but her "nimble finger"  begins to hurt and she just cant figure it out- but she doesn't tell her mother, since she thinks that she wouldn't know better than her; she's just a silly child, after all. maybe the pain in her "nimble finger" is normal. nighthear continues to force her to crack the acorns thinking she will improve, which cloudmeadow agrees to, even though she's in pain. maplestar seems concerned about the situation, seeing cloudmeadow's paw getting worse and worse every time she tries to crack something, but decides to wait and see if it will solve itself

the new family- bloodstripe, sprucespike and flamethorn- are starting to settle down. they clear out the area more, and discuss what they should do with their new baby. she is the most beautiful of the tribe, and that should mean she would be better off being taught formally with the leader and her cousins, bloodstipe decides. sprucespike seems conflicted: he can spot what is happening with cloudmeadow and nightheart easily, and he doesn't want the same to happen with their child. after some arguments, they decide to keep her where she is to grow up and see what happens- the baby herself hasn't even had a say in the matter, after all.

in the morning, maplestar musters up all the courage in him and confronts nightheart, after watching her force cloudmeadow- and now raincloud- to try and crack the acorns.

"as the leader, it is my duty to inform you that what you are doing is wrong" he states, trying not to giggle. this is his first formal leader conversation, and he is pretty nervous.

"what do you mean? the children are fine. they just need more practise, and they'll get there eventually. raincloud has nearly got it but cloudmeadow seems to be getting worse every day... which is strange, because she's the one with the nimble fingers. im sure they'll be just like their mother soon." nightheart replies, unaware of the situation.

"that's what it is, isn't it?" maplestar was serious, not even giggling at the situation like he was before.

"what do you mean? what is what?"

"you want them to be like hazelmist. you're heartbroken at her lost, and haven't fully grasped shes gone, and youre trying to make your children like her to refill the hole in your heart. you're forcing them to do things you know they can't do, instead of figuring out what they can do and letting them do that"

"what do you mean "cant do"? cloudmeadow has nimble fingers. of course she can crack the acorns."

"if you actually looked at your daughter instead of looking at her and thinking of hazelmist, you would realize that isn't a nimble finger. that's a crippled paw, and you forcing her to do things with it has made it even worse. look."

nightheart, slightly doubting her leader, glanced over at her daughter's paw. it was sore and swollen, and you could see the skin underneath was blood red. she was frozen in shock- she had no idea what she had been doing, and no idea how much she had been hurting cloudmeadow,- with tears in her eyes, she ran to cloudmeadow and explained everything to her, hoping she would forgive her, but knowing that she wouldn't. but, the pale white nicheling answered:

"no, im sorry. I was going to tell you, but I doubted myself. if I had told you, you would have realized, and everything would be fine. you just miss hazelmist, I do too, and you saw her as us. you weren't purposely hurting me, were you?" she smiled.

nightheart was shocked. how did her daughter forgive her? not only did she forgive her, but she completely understood. she smiled back and replied "no, I didn't. but I need to learn to love you as cloudmeadow, and love raincloud as raincloud."

"and I need to learn to tell you when somethings wrong instead of doubting myself."

"and, also, we need to find somebody who has learned how to make deformed paws better after evil mothers force their children to crack open acorns because they miss their dead mate, dont we?" nightheart giggled, hoping her daughter wouldn't get offended by the joke.

"we might. but I think it just needs some rest."

as the two settled down together, mother and daughter, maplestar smiled proudly. he loved his oldest sister, and his nieces, and knew this clan will last centuries.

unrelated to story: woAH that was a long one but I wanted to get that scene right instead of skipping stuff,, hopefully you liked it? I made most of the whole "nightheart misses her dead lesbian girlfriend so she pretty much abuses her kid until the leader steps in and solves it" thing up pretty quickly, so there may be some weird bits where the story makes no sense and I may have gone too far into some dark themes and offended some people, so pls tell me if I did because im sort of nervous to post this aahhhhh

[Arcsoft]

Woah that was a good addition to the story

[Arcsoft]

And I think it was fine!

[georgie]

heres the rest of the day

 

as bloodstripe and sprucespike carry on with the day, they are surprised to see bloodmoon jump out of the grass as they cleared it out.

"hey there! nice to see you! aww, and the baby is so cute! what did you call her, the beautiful little one?"

"hi! nice to see you again! where have you been? we called her flamethorn, by the way." bloodstripe replied cheerfully, happy to see her brother, but confused about where he has gone for the past few days.

"oh, you know. I went out hunting, and when I went to come back I saw all the drama happening at the tree and decided to give them some space. I got a bit impatient, so I just came here to see how you were getting along."

"ok, that clears stuff up. im pretty sure they're all better around there, though! we might go up there soon to let flamethorn meet her cousins, how about you come?"

eventually, the entire family ended up talking with bloodmoon long into the night. flamethorn seemed curious of the visitor, and she was eventually talking with them too. she was very confident the whole time, and they all found her quite entertaining to watch.

 

 

[georgie]

surprisingly in the morning, bloodstripe gave birth to a baby in the same nest as flamethorn was born in. they called her redwood, and they are all happy to see a new face in the nest. the parents decide they should have more children, however, because there are not many males left except for the leader and bloodmoon they prepare for another child. flamethorn runs off to the tree, and bloodmoon quickly chases her.

at the tree, raincloud decides to try and repair the nest and does very well at it with the help of her mother. cloudmeadow decides to gather some berries, and splattering some juices everywhere on accident, decides to try paint some pink markings on her white fur as if she was a fluffy canvas. she paints some gorgeous markings, and the entire tribe is amazed at the skills of her painting!

(you do not even want to know how nervous I was using console to do the markings on cloudmeadow lmao I backed up the save and everything)

(also I was ready to set the pattern colour to red and white but it actually turned out she had red and white pattern colour anyway lol)

[georgie]

oml I just realised bloodstripes name has a typo and shes called bloodstipe

 

>:v

im changing it now

[georgie]

its the next day! and so many things have happened. most notably, a gorgeous baby named greatheart has been born to sprucespike and bloodstripe, and that will be their last child. also, cloudmeadow is an adult! her painted markings are as gorgeous as ever. nightheart is pleased, as she knows her daughters have found out what they love to do in life; cloudmeadow paints markings and gathers berries, and raincloud loves building nests to the best of her ability.

(oml I caught raincloud mid-blink and she looks like such a mood)

 

flamethorn made it to the tree, and she chats happily with raincloud and the gorgeous cloudmeadow. she starts to worry if this white nicheling may be considered more beautiful than her soon, and her questions are answered when she spots maplestar watching cloudmeadow with a spark of love in his eyes..! 

nightheart decides that she should take raincloud to the nest she was born in to show her how her mother decorated nests so long ago. the child is exicted beyond belief, and can't wait to learn the nest-decorating methods of the grandmother she nether met but loves so dearly- she even hunts a mole on the way, the same mole widowstar struggled to catch when nightheart was just a baby, still in the nest.

bloodmoon chats with his niece, who has just been left behind by raincloud, and maplestar approaches cloudmeadow, talking nervously to her, wondering when he should confess his love to her.

see you on the next day!
