A DYNASTY IN SHAMBLES
-
Before the clans there was the Marsh Colony and Skunktail was named simply 'Skunk'.
Around the great battle he was notorious for his flirtatious attitude, tossing compliments like no tomorrow and most cats dismissed him with a laugh and little interest until he met her and she met his suave demeanor with a more assertive and confident one. To say he was smitten was an understatement but his fear of committing to a life of settling down and raising a family had him keep her at arms length. When the clans began to form she decided such a life was not for her and prepared to leave for twoleg place, bidding he join her, but Skunk's loyalty has always remained with his family and his family alone.
They part terms amicably, wishing the other well on their new paths in life.
He often thought of Piney in his idle time, wondering how she was doing, if she was well, curious if he'd ever see his friend again. The answer comes in resounding no, a small group of cats arrive at the border asking for him...
They know his name, they know her name, she's dead and they - they are his kits.
His family had not had the best luck as of late, a lot of trials and tribulations, the loss of several members, the pain of betrayal. He sees these kits and he thinks not that they are here to cause them more grief, but that they can help rebuild the shakey foundation of what their family stands upon and he pleads they be permitted to join to Chilledstar who allows it under the condition they are taught their ways and watched carefully for their first few moons.

☆ Not FCFS / Free-For-All Apps!
☆ Activity requirements are remaining on the sentence, this is at least one post a week.
☆ Please follow the genetics and naming rules!
☆ These cats are 12 moons old (will age the 1st of each month), were sired right when the clans formed and their mother chose not to join. She will have told them of the clans, but not their father and only revealed who he was upon her deathbed when she faded from illness shortly after.
☆ She tells them to go to ShadowClan as she's learned that loner life is sad and lonely and not a path she wishes for them. She wants them to have a community to rely on. She wants them to have stability. (The timing could not be more hilarious, I know.)
☆ Skunktail has never had kits, but he will accept them wholeheartedly. He's awkward and unsure, but will do his best to get to know them and introduce them to the rest of his family.
☆ These cats will be expected to adapt to clan life quickly and be loyal ShadowClanners.
DEADLINE - 12/12
