  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]The BlizzardClan leader was wandering near the BlizzardClan borders, her pale lilac eyes on the lookout for any Cartellian trespassers. One of the Cartel members had kidnapped her vice-leader recently, prompting Sweetophelia to launch a raid in retaliation. Although the Cartel Matriarch, Twilightzone, had backed down immediately, freely returning Pierce and promised to punish his captor, Sweetophelia was not pleased. The Cartel were a group of unscrupulous criminals who lusted after a worthless paper currency. She held little respect for them. Sighing in frustration, she decided to take a seat beside a nearby boulder. It was nice to find time away from camp, to just sit and look out at the horizons.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]Now Speckle couldn't remember the last time she had been in Blizzardclan. The last time she was here was for Tama's funeral. But hadn't been back since. But for whatever reason, she decided to check on how things were. So, here she was walking up to the border as she sniffed the air.

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]Tama's funeral had been a momentous occasion for BlizzardClan and many of their allies. Many animals seemed to have known the late BlizzardClan leader. Sweetophelia had grown up with her, and had ultimately ended up arranging the funeral although the responsibility had originally fallen to Tama's successor, Saltcircles, before he suddenly disappeared. However, despite this, Sweetophelia did not remember Specklepaw - there had been too many animals in attendance.


    "Hey there," she looked over at the young lioness, lilac eyes brightening in attention. "Can I help you?" Undoubtedly this was a ShadowClanner, based on the familiar scent clinging to her pale fur.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]As soon as she heard Sweetophelia's voice, Speckle stopped. Of course the last time she had been here or rather lived here, she was known as Bearpaw. But that wasn't the case now. The lioness stopped and sat down as she noticed the feline in front of her. At first, she didn't realize that this was Sweetophelia. "Oh. Hello sorry. I am Specklepaw Praelium. I used to live here, so I'm just visiting." but of course she didn't know Sweetophelia had become leader after Saltcircles disappeared.

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]Perhaps Sweetophelia would have recognised her if she had brought up her old name. Or perhaps not. As much as the BlizzardClan leader would like to - it was simply impossible to remember the names of every animal she met, especially if they left BlizzardClan before becoming personally and well-acquiainted with her. As for "Specklepaw Praelium", the name rang unfamiliar to her. "Did you?" She seemed curious. "When did you leave us? Who was leader then?" Sweetophelia herself had first joined BlizzardClan when Feliks was still leader, becoming his vice-leader before her resignation. She had only returned to BlizzardClan in the final months of Tama's leadership. "Sweetophelia Targaryen - by the way."

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]Speck wondered if she had met Sweetophelia when she still lived here. However, she'd at least like to continue the conversation. "Well yes. I lived here once under the name Bearpaw. Tama was still leader when I lived here. I left right before Red had her kids. And it sucked that I left before. I always hoped to meet them." there was a few members she missed in Blizzardclan that she had some what come to know. "Is Pierce still around? I do miss talking to him."

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"Then I must have met you before," Sweetophelia realised aloud, blinking softly. "Unfortunately I don't believe we ever got the chance to know one another better - shame." Redlipstick had been her friend, and she was glad when the Head Paladin had given birth. Although it seemed that only her daughter, Etherealpaw, remained in BlizzardClan now. "You were friends with Pierce? He's my vice-leader now, didn't you know?" Well, she supposed not everyone paid attention to the politics of another clan - but doing so just happened to be Sweetophelia's job.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]Nodding her head, Speck smiled softly after hearing that they had met before. Or at least might have met. "Ah, yes. It is a shame, as I live in Shadowclan now." She mainly wanted to live in a clan with her mother. But her mother see,ed to have disappeared along with Kalei. And then she remembered Pierce, as he had been one of her very first friends. "Yes. He was my very first friend. And vice-Leader? That's awesome. And no I did not know."

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"ShadowClan?" They were an ally to BlizzardClan, so Sweetophelia didn't mind. It was certainly better than hearing that Specklepaw had went off to join the Exiles or the Cartel. "Why ShadowClan, if you don't mind my asking?" The BlizzardClan leader had never known much about the anti-clan, but their members seemed friendly. "You should visit us again sometimes - I'm sure Pierce would be delighted to see you. He's been through some tough times lately." He was still so young too.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]"Yes. Shadowclan." At first, she wasn't exactly 100% sure why she joined Shadowclan, but it had become her home. "Well, at first I wasn't sure. But mostly because my mother was living there. I had gotten separated from her when I was younger. But of course, my uncle had lived there too. But sadly, they've all gone missing. And it's become my home. They're all very great." she felt her spirits lift when she began to talk about her home. And then she remembered Pierce. She wondered if he would be delighted to see her. "Ah, you think he would be?"

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"I'm sorry to hear that." Sweetophelia didn't have much by way of family either anymore. Her sons were all that she had. "What were their names? Maybe I've heard of them." When Pierce was brought up again, the BlizzardClan leader smiled, softening slightly. "Yes, I think he could really use a friend right now. He's not the same since the Cartel took him." Of course, then there was also the matter of Eren's rejection of him, but of course Sweetophelia didn't actually know about that.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]The lioness sighed when she thought about her parents. She wondered where her mother was. And even her step mom. Sighing, she spoke. "My mother is Lithiumkisses and my step mom is Kaleidoscope." she didn't mention her Uncle's name because her roleplayer forgot, but she smiled as she missed her mother. Then she thought about Pierce. She wondered if she should visit Pierce. "Well if I can help him. Then I shall visit. Can you please ask him if he'd be okay with that?" she didn't wanna just push her prescience at him.

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"I'm fairly certain I've heard the name 'Lithiumkisses' before, but I'm afraid I don't know Kaleidoscope." They were beautiful names though. "I'll ask him when I see him," she promised. "But why are you so nervous? I hope you don't mind my curiosity, but he is my friend and vice-leader and I'm concerned for him. Did you two end on a bad note perhaps?" Sweetophelia certainly didn't remember hearing about any big falling-out in BlizzardClan between Pierce and another clanmate.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]"Well, my mother lived in Scarclan. A long time ago. Maybe you might know my grandma. Or heard of her. My grandmother was Breakdance. She was a leader of Scarclan." she felt proud of talking about her family. It made her seem important. Then she thought about Pierce. "Oh, no. No. We didn't. I just feel really bad because we were becoming friends. But I left Blizzardclan. I just hope that he'll allow me to be there for him. I've just been dealing with things myself." she thought about Haiiro. She just dealt with her heart being broken.

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"I've probably met Breakdance face to face before, but I can't remember anymore. I've definitely heard of her though." Sweetophelia had lived two lives thus far - dying once in the previous summer. But before her death, she had been Feliks' vice-leader during a time when tensions between BlizzardClan and ScarClan were high. "I doubt he'll hold any ill will against you for choosing to reunite with your family." Sweetophelia valued family too, but oftentimes the choice between family and clan seemed impossible. She was fortunate that she had yet to make such a decision. "But you can always visit later. How's ShadowClan treating you, by the way?" She didn't have much experience with ShadowClan but she was curious to learn more about them.

  • [center][fancypost=bgcolor;borderwidth=0px;bordercolor=;text-align:justify;width:400px;]"Well I hadn't been around my mother since I was a young pup. But of course I had spent some time with her before she disappeared." It was sad that she wasn't around, but she wasn't too upset, she still had a life to live. She was almost old enough to take care of herself. She wasn't the type to be loyal to clans, But rather her family. Then she nodded her head when Sweetophelia said she could visit again. "Well, Shadowclan is great. I am actually happy to be living there. I've made a few friends." it was true, she was making friends.

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"It's nice that you got to see her again. I adored my own mother of course, but I didn't know her very well. She was a very busy animal and she went missing when I was still very young," Sweetophelia recalled, outwardly expressing no sadness. At this point it was simply a fact of life to her. "I'm glad to hear that. I actually sent two of my Medic Trainees down to ShadowClan to study with their medic, Radioactiveplague, recently. Do you know him, Specklepaw?"

  • [sup]― It was good that she got to spend time with her mother. But now, it was sad that she was gone. She didn't really have anyone to look up to anymore. So she looked at Sweetophelia, sighing. "Ahh, you did? And yes I know him. I'm actually related to him. And well my mom is just not around now."

  • [center][fancypost= width: 450px; text-align: justify;][size=11][font=timesnewroman]"Really?" Sweetophelia took an interest in that newly revealed fact. "Do you know how you two are related? Or do you just know that you share a family name?" Family trees were often large and expansive - it was difficult to always work out the details of the individual branches, see who connected to who and how. "I've never really spoken to him outside of business, so I can't say that I know him very well." But because ShadowClan was a trusted ally, she had felt comfortable in sending Iselotta and Wisteria to study with Radioactiveplague.
