- Iciclemask, Crabdusk, Floundermallow, and Toadspore are shaken by the recent deaths.
- The clan briefly catches wind of a brutal cat attempting to join other clans, claiming to be Rippledeath. Rapidfern and Blueash know it must be her, their kit. Rapidfern agrees with their leaders choice, but Blueash remains bitter.

- Snailtide confesses to Swanfleck again, and is again rejected. People avoid him while he sulks.

Moon 115
- Blueash is expecting kits. He doesn't acknowledge Wavestar congratulating him
- After so many moons retired, Koipelt is found cold in their nest. They died sleeping it seems, good.

- Beaverleaf does not manage to hear the Rueclan warriors warning, and dies in the jaws of a dog.
- Fishwhisker brings a loner named Tuftsand back to camp.
- Perhaps starclan is angry, perhaps, it's just bad luck. Pool is taken in a flash flood, and while trying to retrieve her, Crabgrass is caught in another downpour.
- Wavestar goes out alone in the morning to find them. She weeps with her mother the rest of the day. Almost all her siblings are dead at this point, with Fishwhisker still there to cry with them and Scaleblossom stuck with two legs. The rest... Starclan.

Moon 116
- Wavestar has to consider it carefully, and she does, but she's still unsure. He's technically young, more middle aged if you ask her. She's names Brinestripe as her deputy, hoping that Pool and Crabgrass bless them
- Blueash hopes for a small litter, all the stress lately is making him think kits would be an issue.
- Snailtide is found dead, curled up in his nest. Hopefully it was peaceful.
- Lightning strikes camp, unfortunately taking down Bluepaw. The medicine cats can't help the kit no matter what the try.
- The endless deaths rock the camp. Grief sweeps through the camp. Egretdrop, Pearlyswirl, Frogluarel, Mistyash, Swanfleck, and Breezethistle are particularly shaken.
- Maybe eager to prove himself, Brinestripe finds Rippledeath sneaking rats into camp one night. She is taken down, and killed, avenging Gooseflood. Blueash is bitter and angry, Rapidfern us reserved but understands the decision.
- Stormhusk pushes Foampaw, trying to distract her apprentice. She's so proud when he becomes Foamswirl, and the clan is happy to see how good they are as friends.
- Currentpaw works just as hard, and is named Currentdrift. Wavestar is so happy to have good this moon
- Wavestar and Kelpdrop agree, and Waterpaw is apprenticed to Brookmimic, who seems honored.
- Rippledeath finds herself in the dark forest, hissing and cursing her old clan.
- Cranewing is killed by a large dog while Cavesplash escapes a gang of rogues single handedly

Moon 117
- Blueash and Rapidfern welcome a single kit, Coconutkit. Wavestar finds Rapidfern outside the nursery to congratulate her, saying she didn't want to upset Blueash by visiting when he didn't want.
- Rapidfern waits a few days, then leads Wavestar in to meet the kit, Blueash smiling at the leader. He's starting to feel better, but it might take some time. She can wait she thinks.
- Gentleripple and Tuftsand join the elders. Brinestripe thinks there's too many elders, but Wavestar thinks this is what they deserve. Brinestripe visits different parts of the clan, wondering if he'd do things differently.
- Mikhailfish and Caakirimist have become mates. They say it's quick romance, Wavestar has known them for too many moons and must bite her tongue.
- Antareswaters and Gentleripple try hiding it, but the clan knows immediately that something has changed. New mates are amazing.
- Breezethistle leaves the medicine den... only to return to the den to get poppy seeds from Algaewish. He worries briefly about her mental health,  but she's constantly plagued by nightmares and he thinks it's sleeplessness not memory loss.
- A training patrol finds a tom to join the clan named Pelicanfeather

Moon 118
- Cloudtuft dies from water in his lungs
- Rayleaf gets his pelt torn by a fox
- Egret, Deliwave, and Miststreak find a young shecat named Yokaiturtle who is terribly sick. They hope the medicine cats can heal her, but Breezethistle is clear with Wavestar and Brinestripe this is a fight with starclan they might not win.
- Wavestar is relieved, it's been a fairly quiet moon. Brinestripe also feels relief, quietly understanding his leader a bit more.

Moon 119
- Wavestar smiles when her mate quietly asks, and agrees it's time. He retires, Wavestar makes sure the apprentices bring the elders fresh moss immediately and handle their ticks. 
- Brinestripe asks if that is maybe not the best use of apprentices, which gets an eyebrow raised by Wavestar. But... well... She has an odd reaction, and gives him Cloudpaw to apprentice. Cloudpaw is cold and hyper, Brinestripe is quickly overwhelmed.
- He asks Wavestar what the deal is, and she teaches him that the young cats of the clan need lessons in treating others with kindness, just as much as they need lessons in hunting and fighting.
- Cloudpaw actually seems to enjoy talking to the elders, Brinestripe doesn't understand kits.
- Cloudpaw doesn't like Brinestripe and walks away in the middle of conversations
- Meadowmoss takes a stroll alone one day, and is killed by a dog. Breezethistle is full of grief for her friend.
- Sealeyes is expecting kits! Her and her mates rejoice.
- Boatseeker is taken by green cough, Yokaiturtle is taken by red cough.
- So much grief for Eelshore, Ottercrash, Egret, Greenflood, Agathacreek, and Brinestripe.
- Wavestar is sick, so Brinestripe is supposed to run the gathering. Unfortunately the bad weather means no clans are there.
- Yellow cough takes a life from Wavestar, bringing her to 6. She tells Kelpdrop, Breezethistle, and then Brinestripe. Unfortunately, she then gets green cough. And it's bad, immediately.

Moon 220
- Marshcove has held out for many moons Wavestar thinks, as she has always believed a cat can overcome a disability. But he's slowing down, he seems lost. She asks him if he'd like to retire, and he agrees. Brinestripe again thinks he's too young for that, but Wavestar won't listen to him chattering.
- New Warriors! Chitonstripe, Jellyfishheart, Otterstripe, and Rainfern
- New apprentices! Jellyfishpaw to Quesowave, Oceanpaw to Flecktide, Penguinpaw to Fishwhisker, and Riverpaw to Arielecho. 
- Green cough takes a life from Wavestar. 5 lives left. She feels lucky she's gotten this far.
- Sealeyes wants a small litter
- Mistyash is expecting kits
- An old tom is found with fur white as snow, and joins the clan. His name is Hadarrain
- A day or so later he brings a young tom friend of his home to be a healer, named Stripedrown. Clan seems to need more healing paws.
- Miststreak flirts with a Twigclan cat at night, Wavestar says nothing, watching to see if Brinestripe picks up on the scent.
- Rainnewt and Barnaclestripe bring an injured tom home named Nezukodrip

Year: 10
Cats: 117
Food: Good
Medicine: Okay

THE REST

Okay so I have to talk but Im gonna start with... six pages of clan cats



Soooo Brinestripe

43 moons, I feel like hes got a good shot at being the next leader if he doesn't die. He is... safe. His personality is strict. He really hasn't done much else. So I am... making him a personality. HIS PERSONALITY CHANGED. It wasss strict. Okay so hes learning. I forgot that they did that
When Wavestar does pass I'm gonna run the clan differently, for drama. So I'm kinda trying to find a reason. He's not evil hes just gotta be different. If he was blood thirsty he would be evil. 
Honestly it would be great if Wavestar just hung around for 100 more moons, would be so funny. 

I'm so sad about Crabgrass though, my boiiii. 


And the dark forest

Hi Rippledeath.
I think when Breezethistle dies I'm gonna let her free Riverkit. I have two murderers in cat hell now. yayyyy

Also when Wavestar dies, she's got "dream walker" as an ability so like.... She's visiting people
