    Blizzardclan was not a name one easily forgot. Though certainly not the oldest group out there, Blizzardclan was incredibly well-known, a place with boundless amounts of history. Pierce's own, personal history with the clan was extensive, to say the least. He had been just five months old when he first stumbled up those seemingly-endless marble steps, to find himself in what his young mind had only been able to perceive as a winter wonderland floating in the clouds. The group and its people had swept young Pierce off his feet, teaching him how to care for himself and those around him, how to function among a group of remarkably different individuals. He had come to the clan as just a scared little boy, and he'd learned how to talk to people, and had even begun taking on leadership roles when it was necessary. He'd climbed up the ranks in the clan within months of joining, and held the position of vice-leader for countless moons. Pierce had loved his clan and its people more than anything else, and he'd been willing to do nearly anything for it. Even when his world around him was crumbling, his role in the clan had kept him grounded. At least, for a while it had. It took over a year for him to begin to crack under the pressure, with the stress of personal as well as inter-clan drama, mental illness, and his responsibilities to the clan as well as his family all piling up atop one another.


    He had stepped down from the role of vice-leader more than a year after being offered it, and just a month later, disappeared. He couldn't remember where he had gone, or what had happened since he'd left; all he knew was that he'd had to leave because it was unsafe, that he'd had to take care of his family. Everything after that was a blur, and now, he was here.


    Where was "here", though? Though he knew the forest he had just stepped into belonged to Blizzardclan, it all seemed wrong. The place he was now was not the Blizzardclan Pierce had once called home- or, at least, it didn't look like it.


    The freckled feline glanced around, amber gaze sweeping over the forest that now surrounded him. He had awoken months ago in that other group, the Thunderlands, but when he'd heard mention of a clan called "Blizzardclan", something had told him he had to go. Though his memory wasn't yet all there, he knew that this place meant something to him, and he had to make the journey and at least see for himself. From what he recalled, the territory was all wrong, but maybe they'd moved, or something. Maybe something was still here that would help him remember. The gentle breeze carried an oddly familiar scent, undoubtedly belonging to the group that he was here to see. There was something comforting about it, and it brought him a feeling most comparable to reuniting with a childhood companion. Pierce didn't know how long it had been since he'd last been in Blizzardclan. Would anyone here even know who he was? He sure hoped so; if not, he had no idea how he was going to get any answers. Taking a deep breath to calm the butterflies in his stomach, Pierce decided it was now or never. "Excuse me?" the serval called into the trees. "I'm Pierce Parker. I'm just here to, uh, look around, I guess, if that's okay?" he finished, adjusting the leather strap of his old satchel to rest more comfortably upon his shoulder.

    [ SLAMS DOWN MY HANDS COBBLE!!! HI!!!! i used to play wisteria c; i'm happy u & pierce are back!! ]

    [ also retro to her capture c/ ]


    Persephone was born in Agrelos, on these isles with no knowledge of the outside world. Frankly, her knowledge was still very limited, very fragile. She hardly explored past her own territory, and when she did it was for ally's events. So how did she become deputy, you may ask? Hell if she knew, but it was a title she wore proudly on her chest, just as well as the fact that she was equal to her father and only one-upped by her mother. BlizzardClan had unknowingly became a pseudo monarchy with its positions, but surely it wouldn't continue that way.


    Nonetheless, the girl didn't have any connections to the past that Pierce had. When Moongleam arrived, she had weird feelings about the woman, droplets of ideas, of memories unconnected to her, but none of them bothered her. The idea of being a reincarnate of someone was unimaginable, and even if she was to come to accept it, she would continue to ignore it. Percy was her own being, her own ligress. Just because the memories of some tortoiseshell she-cat lingered in her mind, didn't mean that she had to abide by, and remember them.


    Persephone approached on light paws, the newest round up of joiners bringing some joy and life into the stilling Clan. The overturn of Aleksei was definitely jarring, though the girl remained silent on the subject, "Looking around isn't necessarily okay," the girl came forth from the undergrowth first, wings parted as both a sign of dominance as well as a way to make herself appear larger, "Do you need anything in particular? I can help you, then," she offered something of a compromise with the stranger.

    ———— Kady Keyper————

    Funny how it all plays out in the end

    Pierce Parker


    This was a name Kady hadn't heard of in over a year. Pierce was the Vice-Leader when she had joined BlizzardClan though she never truly had a proper interaction with him within the month he stayed before he disappeared. Needless to say, his arrival did add to the anxiety she had. Was he here on bad terms? Would he demand Kady for the leadership position since Aleksei only stepped down a week ago? Or would he instead demand for his old positions since she has yet to promote someone to fulfill it?


    She knew nothing of this male and while she had good thoughts about him back in the day, she couldn't help but to feel threatened now.


    But she was well aware of her internal battles and understood that she was being unreasonable. She's was cautious. Too cautious.


    The snow leopard approaches the male and stands next to her daughter, making sure to have her flank brush up against the other's as a way to ground her. While her daughter was growing older and positions called for formality, she still loved the girl greatly and needed this brief physical contact to keep herself sane. "No, it's okay, Persephone." The leopard states gently with a small yet hesitant smile playing on her lips. "I know him. He was Vice-Leader when I first joined the clan. Welcome back, Pierce. You must have many questions." Which would explain why he wanted to look around. Poor guy was probably one of the stragglers from the shift. It felt like the moved had happened so long ago, yet the memories were still as clear as daylight. There was pure chaos. Deaths of loved ones. Disappearances. It was honestly an absolute nightmare, and she still wonders how Aleksei managed it all.


    But that was in the past and everything was okay now.


    Well, as okay as it could be.



    You're playing with fire

    lucas hadn't existed until agrelos existed, which was a lot to think about now that he thought of it. he wasn't older than an apprentice, and a pretty young one at that, but he already felt as if he lived a thousand years. was that a bad thing? ...probably. maybe. lucas didn't know. he'd chock it up for future lucas to worry about. he was simply worried about only a few things- himself, persephone, bai-chen, kady, and his garden.


    okay, that was a lot. but it didn't matter! he needed to do his job, not worry about himself?


    he'd come up beside the two others, giving pierce a strange, though happy look. for once he was actually happy, if only on a bittersweet level- his mother had finally talked to him, the mother who had died for him, so it was nice to think that she was still watching over him, even when he was doing boring stuff like this.

    Gabriel had known Pierce, vaguely. Just for a short while. Still, he recognized the name, and as he approached, a rare wisp of a smile flitted across his face. It was always nice to see previous members returning, no matter how long they had been gone. So long as they hadn't done anything to deserve punishment, of course. Brendon and Otto were trailing after him, both curious about this male. Otto let out a chirp, darting forward only to be pulled back by Brendon.


    "Welcome back, Pierce," Gabriel greeted him, giving a dip of his head in the feline's direction.


    //ahh i missed pierce!! i played orchid/ghostpaw a while back!!


    brendon & otto refs

    &. catch me ACTUALLY screaming because i love pierce so so so much and i miss him and mike :(( also sorry if this is like shit i'm not in it rn lmao


    i had been born far, far from here. i grew up in a city called "seoul," in a country called "south korea." so, yes, i lived far away from agrelos. i couldn't even tell you how i got here, my mind was so foggy because i just wanted to get to blizzardclan. why did i want to be here so much? why did i cross half of the world to get here? i didn't even know myself. but, that pushed aside, i kind of missed my first home. but there was nothing left for me back there but pain. pain i can't remember. shaking my head, i tried to focus back on my walk, and to not be distracted by the dangers of my own mind. hearing voices ahead of me, i lifted my head, wondering if there was a newcomer. making my way over, my broad shoulders swayed as i walked up to the small group, blinking as i looked at pierce. miss kady and mister gabriel seemed to know this person, but i certainly didn't. but, nonetheless, i let a bright smile arch across my features as i let out a loud rumble. "hello, pierce! it seems you found your way back, by the sounds of miss kady and mister gabriel," pausing, i continued on with my introduction. "loveletter, paladin tr- i mean, paladin. just paladin now. nice to meet you!"

    ( omg hey wtf is uP yall !! i remember wist and orchid omfggwsdhjk also drEAM HELLO I LOVE U !!!! )


    The first stranger to approach was quite a bit larger than him, perhaps a fact that would intimidate some, but she was clearly young, barely more than a child. Pierce had always had quite the soft spot for kids, and even had two of his own; Antigone and Clementine. He tried not to think of the two of them too much, for Antigone had grown up far too quickly for poor Pierce, to the point where he would disappear for days on end and push his father further and further away whenever he tried to ask him about it. As for Clementine- Pierce hadn't seen her since he woke up in the Thunderlands. Was she here? He didn't know. She had been old enough to take care of herself last time he saw her, but still so, so young. He just hoped she was safe.


    A slight smile had begun to find its way to the serval's lips, however it slipped as she regarded him. He understood the reasoning, of course, but he wasn't sure how easy it would be to explain his situation and, you know, not sound completely insane. "Do you need anything in particular?" The question was simple, though not one he thought he could answer. What did he need? He needed his old life back, for starters, but there was no going back after all that had happened to him - and to this place, since so much had apparently changed. Pierce opened his mouth to respond, but was luckily interrupted by Kady's arrival before he had the chance to say anything stupid.


    Her anxiety about his return were for naught, as Pierce knew he wasn't currently in the position to lead this, or any clan. Over a year ago, he had been, sure, but after Sweetophelia's disappearance, leadership was passed onto her son rather than her vice-leader. Aleksei had led for this long, though, so maybe that'd been the right choice. Kady's words to her daughter were short, but the name Persephone stood out to him. He, too, had had a daughter named Persephone once, but their time together was... short-lived. The thought of the little girl brought a lump to his throat, but he swallowed it, offering the woman before him a kind, though undeniably tentative, smile. She said she knew him, but he couldn't say he remembered her. He'd figure it out eventually, he decided, and settled on not asking and making things weird. "Thank you. I- I do have a few, yeah, if you all don't mind," he affirmed with a small nod, giving his tail a short wave that could almost be described as dog-like.


    A boy followed soon after her, and though he said nothing, Pierce couldn't help but smile at his happy demeanor. He'd been about the same age as Lucas when he first discovered this group, though he didn't think he'd regarded newcomers with such a happy energy at the time. Gabriel's approach distracted Pierce from the young wildcat before him, warm gaze flitting up to focus on the male that approached. Did this guy know him, too? Shit, Pierce had hoped once he started seeing people he knew, things would begin coming back to him. Did this mean he would never be able to remember?


    The dappled tom offered Gabriel a friendly nod, trying to ignore his disturbing thoughts and instead directing his attention to Loveletter as he approached. He was certainly friendly, and his bright disposition was a sort of comfort to Pierce; he had been the cheerful young man greeting strangers at the border, once, and he couldn't help but be reminded of himself, in a way, back before he had all that much to worry about. Part of him hoped that the feline before him wouldn't have the same luck that he had, but he pushed the thought aside. Everyone faced their own challenges.


    Although he apparently knew two of the individuals before him, not much about this whole situation was striking any familiarity in his mind until Loveletter introduced himself as a Paladin Trainee- or, Paladin. "Nice to meet you, too, Loveletter," he returned with a kind smile. After a short pause, he added, "Congrats on the promotion." It had been quite some time since he'd held a position in a clan, and even longer since he'd been promoted, but he could still remember his title feeling new and alien on his tongue when introducing himself. Pierce turned back to Kady, who seemed to be the one in charge now. "Is it okay if I stay here- just for a while?" By "just a while", he meant either until he realized he wasn't going to be remembering anything about his old life and decided to move on, or until at least some of his memories returned and he chose to resettle in his old clan.

    "That should be fine." They'd let other people stay temporarily in the past, so Canoris couldn't see why this would hurt. This joiner had brought quite the crowd, and hearing the last bit of what her love had said - previous vice-leader - made sense. It must've been not long before Canoris joined BlizzardClan for the first time that Pierce had left. They'd never met, but she'd joined shortly after Kady had. "We can lead you back to camp, if you like." She said, glancing at Kady so the leopard know that the we was meant to include her. She could opt out, of course, but Canoris liked any and all opportunities to be near the snow leopard, even if it hurt her heart most of the time. "I'm Canoris Eternite." She'd just recently begun to use her surname to introduce herself to others. Growing up, she'd ignored it, disposed of it, but learning what those beyond her father had accomplished made her want to bring it out again. Ululare would not determine the legacy of her entire family. "Do you have a preference on staying in a cabin versus not? We have some unused cabins right now, but I know not everyone prefers them."

    // IT'S PIERCE OMG PIERCE MY BOYYY OMG PIERCE PIERCE PIERCE PIERCEPIERCEPIERCEPIER AKJSGFDKL-


    The bright-eyed canine hummed quietly under her breath as she bounced on up to the border, wondering who it was the everyone had come to greet. She joined the crowd with a light smile upon her muzzle, gazing at the spotted wildcat with a tilted head. He kind of looks like Cosmicshadow, she noted, although the two had different pelt colors. Still, both were the same species. While that may have been the girl's first impression of the returning feline, she found herself more curious of the fact that he appeared to be a returner from long ago. So he had been here when Kady first joined? Whoa! Ochaco was quick to assume that it must've been ages ago since the former vice leader had placed his paws into Blizzardclan territory.


    So he was staying here just for a while. As was Ochaco herself, although she really didn't know how long 'a while' would be. She was sort of winging it, deciding that when the time felt right, she might leave. At the same time, she couldn't help but love it here already, despite having not been here for very long at all. Something about being surrounded by many clanmates who were all so different but all had the same level of passion for the clan was so exciting to the girl. Maybe that's why Pierce had decided to wander back to the clan. Maybe he still loves it here. She, of course, didn't know anything about the guy, but she always seemed to be rather quick to assume things about others.


    "Oh, welcome back! I'm Ochaco," she introduced herself, dipping her head towards Pierce in a friendly manner. She couldn't help but wonder how long he did plan on staying for. He seemed nice, and naturally, Ochaco wanted those that were kind to stick around for a long time.
