CREATUREFEST JULY 2025

[AceOfNothing]

LORE

Moon 25
The other clans wish for the war to stop, and Wavestar is trying, but Doeclan continues their pursuit. She bites her tongue, and attempts peace anyway, avoiding reacting to the other leaders' comments and instead compliments their apprentices. The other clans agree, and the leader can only thank her.
Scaleblossom and Coralpaw find an injured cat while on patrol. She claims she'd been caught in a two-leg trap, her leg is in a terrible state. Riverstripe joins the clan, and everyone is happy for a new face.

Moon 26 
Fishkit, Currentkit, Divekit, and Crabkit are made appreciates, and Wavestar congratulates her mother on raising 4 more kits. Breezethistle is overjoyed.
Currentpaw, after days of pestering Wavestar (with the assistance on Pearldusk), is to be trained a mediator. Wavestar doesn't think they need a second one currently, but with the war still going and Currentpaws obsession with Pearl, she can hardly argue.
Gullfeather is to mentor Fishpaw, Eelnewt is to mentor Divepaw, and Wavestar takes Crabpaw under her own wing. They all chatter excitedly, it makes Wavestar feel good.

Moon 27
The war ends, almost peacefully, and Doeclan has come out considering them an ally. The two clans hardly ever came to blows, but the other leader can only compliment their strength for such a small clan. Wavestar is beyond relieved to find them having lost no cats.
Eelnewt and Brackishpaw, unfortunately, find a cat bleeding out. They try to stop the bleeding, they try to get him back to camp, but unfortunately, he's too far gone. Breezethistle blames the two legs, bitterly.

Moon 28
Driftpaw gains his full name, that being Driftsquid, and feels ecstatic. His sister congratulates him warmly, and he knows she'll be a warrior soon.
Riverstripe's leg finally heals fully, and she gets to fully meet the rest of the clan without feeling ready to claw their ears off. It's nice, she feels welcome.

Moon 29
Coralpaw and Brackishpaw have been honored for their spirit, and dedication. They stand before the clan, now Coralhiss and Brackishtide, and feel ready to take on the world.

Moon 30
Wavestar is, mildly, annoyed by her siblings. Maybe she'd a bit harsh saying they're following Breezethistle's paws too closely, and Breezethistle has been whining at her for not having a mate. There are not many cats but nooo that's not a good enough reason. She knows she's just annoyed, but she doesn't like her clan mates hiding things from her. What if... what if they leave?
Eelnewt claims she was just sharing prey with a starving cat, she doesn't think should be punished for that. Divepaw seems completely unaware that playing with a kittypet was a bad idea, she just wanted a friend who wasn't her sibling. Wavestar lets them both go with light warnings and instead asks her Breezethistle to talk to her kids about strange cats being potentially dangerous.

Moon 31
Fishpaw watches as his siblings are made warriors, Divebramble and Crabgrass. They're early, he tells himself, it's not his fault. But Gullfeather is distant from the clan and seems constantly disappointed in him. He congratulates his siblings, but he feels so alone.
Wavestar manages to find Ariel, a small Tomcat, just outside two leg territory. He seems so excited to see other cats, and he joins her on the trip back to camp. He thrives on meeting the other cats and is beyond thrilled to meet Scaleblossom at his apprentice ceremony. He wants to be the best warrior ever.
Eelnewt and Brackishtide find a sick cat near thunderpath, Colby Jack. He says his humans couldn't afford the vet, these words mean nothing to the clan mates, they take him home anyway.
Driftsquid, alone, finds a cat screaming and being chased by a dog. He attempts to save the kittypet, but finds out the cat and dog are actually friends. He Does Not understand that, but they could use this he thinks. He invites the cat back to Coastalclan, and they follow. They go from Finch, to Rayshimmer.

Moon 32
Breezethistle brings Dancing, the cat she had previously been seen with, back to camp. Wavestar gives her mother a look but invites the cat to stay. She takes the name Sharkdance. Colby Jack is feeling better, he keeps his name but adds Splash to the end. Wave accepts this.
Fishpaw is also invited into this warrior's ceremony, he is named Fishwhisker. Wave laments to Breeze later that she doesn't think he's ready, and Breezethistle seems to agree.
Sharkdance and Coralhiss find another kittypet, a small tom, and the two manage to convince him to join. For his size, he's strong. Wavestar seems in high spirits lately.

Moon 33
Currentpaw, finally, feels ready to take a full name. Pearldusk couldn't be prouder, telling Currentspeckle the clan should be thankful her for gracing them with her presence. Wavestar is almost afraid of the duo.

Moon 34
Sharkdance attempts, attempts, to catch Pearldusk's eye. But Pearl seems unaware of the other cats flirting, and Shark takes it as rejection. She hides from other cats eyes and does dangerous things on patrols. Like getting chased by a dog with Rayshimmer, who only eggs her on.
Perhaps it's related, perhaps it's just them being unlucky, and Scaleblossom returns back to camp alone, yowling about a dog catching Driftsquid. They don't find him or the dog, but Breezethistle sees him in her dreams.

Moon 35
Gullfeather is beside himself with grief for his kit and lashes out at Breezethistle and Wavestar for dragging him into this dumb clan. They try not to take it personally. Wavestar thinks about his age, and frets, will he take it personally when she must replace him.
Yellowcough and Whitecough are fresh in the camp, Breezethistle mumbles she'll need an apprentice soon. Currentspeckle and Rayshimmer become mates, and rub it in all the other cats faces.

Moon 36
It takes a bit for it to click, two moons to be exact, but Pearldusk finds Sharkdance in order to ask her, directly, to be her mate. They're way too close, it's almost sickening, but Wavestar is just happy to see the clan officially Has Mates. They feel even more official now!
There's rogues galore this moon. Breezethistle and Wavestar, while on an outing, attempt to befriend a cat named Coal, but a clanmate scares them off. Pearldusk ends up fighting a loner named Meadow, and Riverstripe chases a kittypet off who tried to steal their prey. Wavestar, while normally being all for inviting loners in, worries them may have to start chasing them off.

SET UP/EXPLANATION

I'm going to start just posting the Cat pics at the end of moon. If someone feels particularly important Ill show them.



My clan is almost a full page!! I do gotta get another medcat, Breeze is technically almost at her limit. Oops. 
I need more bloodlines in the clan, but I think Ill stop looking for the loners soon. Most of the clan is still Breeze's kits.
Also Divebramble is gorgeous and it's not fair, I thought she looked kinda plain as a kit (Not an impressive Tortie) But the small shock of brown looks so much better as an adult.
And I left cheese cats name because its a funny contrast. 


I just wanted to share some patrol art. I like the octopus, I like how haunting the dogs look.
Also, I do wanna say, I write the lore and do not reread so if it makes no sense sorry Im just hype for my cats. 

When we get to page 2 Im turning on mass extinctions
