Life certainly knew how to keep the silver tom busy. Between his duties as a warrior and as a father, the spotted cat could not remember the last time he had slept in his nest and felt restful. The cold didn't help, but it felt like an excuse compared to what was on the rest of Silversmoke's...

The beauty of flowers was one often preoccupied with what trod above them. He had done his best to help Fireflyglow finding them but, once the Ragdoll tom was absent, any lessons about the world's flora seemed to fade away like a rainy day cloud. Momentarily away from the Nursery, the spotted...

Out of all his kittens, he could comfortably say that Dashkit looked the most like him. Remnants of silver pressed upon her patched coat, her ears tufted similarly to his own and, above all else, she had a tail. He'd never thought the concept would be so rare, yet, she had been the only one to...

Seeing his kittens for the first time had been like the glowing warmth of fire amidst the brutal leafbare nights, one which he did not think he could forget for the rest of his life. Three moons had been difficult, full of sleepless nights and worries that things may go wrong for insisting on...

It felt too premature to celebrate, as if one day of respite would not be enough to quell the half-moon of misfortune the weather had wrought upon the health of his clanmates. Somewhere within the depths of the Twolegplace, a chimera rested, free from hunger and cold, bundles at his belly ready...

Chills threatened to plague his body - and Silversmoke went out again. A pale phantom against a white backdrop, he did not make his presence known to the patrol, hoping that the sting of disobeying his clan's wishes would be lessened should he return successful from his second journey. At least...

SkyClan was starving. What glorious freshkill he had managed to bring in one day had turned into naught the next, and beyond the edges of camp lay a frosted wasteland indiscernible from the one amidst the clan's first leafbare. There was too much to worry about and too much to do, but one...

Fireflyglow was going to need the herbs. When the clan faced hunger and foxes that wore ThunderClan faces, Silversmoke could not trespass himself in revenge, he could only prepare the clan for the inevitable - for the sickness that would come from the selfishness of the other clans. With the...

As Silversmoke religiously groomed the fur around Johnnyflame's chest, his mind wandered away from the task and towards the outside world. The moment he stepped into camp, the bitter winds would ruffle his flank, the dwindling fresh-kill pile would stand as a beacon of a bad quarter-moon, and...

A clan that frequently snacked on birds and squirrels would struggle when the latter went into hiding and the former had the sense to fly to warmer pastures. It was a flaw of his home that he hadn't considered in some time (what with last Leafbare being more home to tragedy of a different kind)...

With a heavy coat and a tendency to keep active, hunger was often the most pressing pinch he felt come Leafbare. Though Quillstrike had organised a patrol to gather nesting materials, the spotted tabby had kept his eye out for other, significantly more living things. It was not a failure to...

The important thing, the thing of utmost importance, the one that Silversmoke had predicted... and immediately gotten wrong. The lighthearted smile he had shown faded into a frown as Johnnyflame began to explain himself. He hadn't noticed anything wrong with him, perhaps he should've, at the...

A walk about the territory was, very likely, ill-advised by Fireflyglow - such exploration couldn't be helped, however. Camp duties were dull, resting off his paws entirely a nightmare. He didn't need to go far to be happy, he just needed to be able to see the sandy ravine in the distance and a...

'Did I make things worse?' In the corner of the camp, the tom was lost in his own little world, full of branching pathways where there was no obvious conclusion. Each question and justification brought about a new length of pine tree to navigate until eventually, he was in the clouds of...
