DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR One of their younger warriors is leading the patrol today, trotting along with a buzzing energy that could be excitement—or more likely, a bit of anxiety. Doeblaze would hardly blame Stormbird, if that were the case. It’s an honor to lead a patrol of your...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Florabreeze’s kits, then… perhaps unfairly, Doeblaze has never really thought of them as Kitestorm’s. It’s as if the dark tabby had been a shaft of shadow through which they quickly passed, a necessary storm to usher in a dewy spring. She’s had brushes with the...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR It had been the apprentices’ den and the medicine den that took the brunt of the storm’s wrath, but the entire camp remains a little worse for wear. It’s negligible damage in most cases—a torn roof here, an upturned nest there—but with Howlfire’s kits on the...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Shoulders shifting under the tufty lilac of her pelt, Doeblaze stalks warily along the ThunderClan border, tasting the freshness of newborn spring in the air. She seems to recall a certain kind of friendliness between the two forests under Howlingstar and...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Once again, Doeblaze finds herself dipping into the hollow without an apprentice to nudge at. Freed of having to dispense a lecture, she misses it, in a way—having a small, curious shape at her side to murmur instructions to. It makes her miss the dizzying, busy...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Sunlight ripples through the pines, soothingly warm against the strained muscles lining her spine. When she returns gingerly to this memory, Doeblaze will think, with a shock as thin and brightly painful as a sparkling silver needle, of just how gloriously...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Exhaustion seeps from her skin tonight. Not literally, unlike her son—she’s free of weeping wounds or bruised ribs, bearing only a thin scrape on one scuffed elbow, the parting kiss of the last redbrick wall. She clings to the filmy sting of it, the bloodless...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Under her restless paws, the apprentices heed without too much complaint, thank the blotted-out stars. Howlfire and Figfeather hover watchfully, a pair of ginger spills across the stormed-gray world, brilliant wings ushering the fleeing cats onwards to the...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Hatchling newleaf has been kind to her today… as Doeblaze slips into camp, moving fluidly through the nodding willows of her fellows, a fattening squirrel dangles from her jaws, tail tickling the hollow of her unblemished throat. She dips her head low to settle...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Exhaustion tugs at Doeblaze’s eye as she shifts on her paws in the midst of camp, caught between the appeal of a bird and a brief nap and the necessity of another stab at hunting. The birds are freshly nesting, the air shimmering with scrims of song, but they...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR With the afterbreath of dawn, Doeblaze puts off her intended hunting and lingers hopefully around the entrance of camp. She watches the just-spiraling ferns out of the corner of her eye, waiting for the new buds to part and reveal a stocky form laden with curls...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Foolish—it had been foolish of her to assume newleaf would come painlessly, a gentle wave lapping away the pain of winter. It batters down the walls of frost, instead, coming in the form of a rampaging tempest that seems intent on sweeping away every clawed-back...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Ragged, she feels ragged all over—sleep-rumpled fur, hollow eyes, throat scraped raw with a roadkill scream. Anchored to the world only by the slice of cold light and Florabreeze’s luminous green eyes, she curls into herself, tucking chin to chest and tail to...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR In every aspect a contrast to his jittering appearance, Twitchstar’s call rings true throughout their camp. His first meeting in his own right—or at least the first not doomed from the beginning by blazing proclamations and disgruntled whispers—and he hails it...

DOEBLAZESHE/HER ✦ SKYCLAN WARRIOR Blessedly, beautifully, the air is temperate today. After what felt like lifetimes of sleet and ice, of rampaging blizzards and sparse ribs, newleaf is upon them. A morning shower leaves her dense fur dappled with undried dew as Doeblaze dips into camp, bright...
