★☆★ //this takes place immediately after the tunnel flood thread

Rain droplets fell from the sky as the cats finally reunited with the rest of the clan. He wasn’t sure if they were ever going to escape, let alone survive. His legs were still weak from swimming, and he was exhausted after loosing a life from too much water inhalation, but at least he had saved his kits and clanmates.

Shakily, the leader padded towards the old meeting rock. They had nowhere else to go. They would return to their home above ground. Where Windclan was supposed to be. “Windclan! Gather below for a meeting.” those were hardly even close to the normal words, but he didn’t care. Speaking to the clan was more important right now than those words.

It had been a few days since their return to the mainland, and ever since the flood, Lizardstar had yet to receive his strength back. Loosing a life under the water had taken a lot out of him, and now on top of that, he was coming down with a cold, or so he assumed anyways. Despite the strong sun above the camp, the dark tomcat lay off to the side, out of the way of his clanmates. Every once and awhile a sniffle could escape his nose. He wanted to help get everyone settled in, but he didn't have the strength to walk. Starclan, it took all he had to keep his eyes open...Maybe he needed to see if a patrol could take the medicine cats to another clan and ask for herbs. Everything they once had was washed away, yet again. The clan had to start over, and it wouldn't be too much longer before leaf bare came.

He had been too shaken to discuss much in the last meeting. However, now he was sick. Drowning and loosing a life had taken a toll on his already weak body, but luckily he was feeling slightly better now, or at least enough to look like he wasn't sickly. Little did the rest of the clan know, but during his time recovering he had lost yet another life. That left him with what, six left? He knew he should have told Hawkpaw, but the clan would find out eventually..When they thought he had two lives left but he did not resurface again. Yikes, that would be a hard way to find out...

It had been almost a week since they returned to the surface, and things were settling in decently. He wished he could have at least helped his clanmates settle in, but the lack of energy from loosing lives had really taken everything out of him. The three legged tom padded onto the Tall Rock, not doing his former jump that he had once performed. Maybe in time, but not today, not yet. "All cats old enough to run the moor, gather below for a clan meeting!" he called out. Finally, now he could address the clan and not have to worry about his voice bouncing off the walls.

After waiting for what felt like half an hour (which in reality was only a few minutes), his clan had gathered around and he could begin. "First of all, I would like to apologize for my lack of presence as of lately. During the flood, I lost a life, and the inhalation from the water afterwards made me sick. However...I also lost another life a few days ago while I was recovering. I do not feel great yet, but I am finally able to help again. You all have been doing a wonderful job while I have been out though, and I am proud of you all, and I am blessed to call you all my clanmates." The tom shifted his gaze to meet every one of the cats below, and he flashed them all a genuine smile. However, the happiness didn't last long, he still had another topic to address.

"Moving on, I am sad to announce that Halcyon did not make it out of the tunnels during the flood. Tonight there will be a vigil held for him. Hawkpaw, I didn't want it to come this way, but do you feel comfortable in stepping up as a full medicine cat?"

// HAWKMOTH

things to announce:

new naming ceremonies (velvet, grizzly)

apprentice/mentor matching

opinions/suggestions on WC thread

I would also like to welcome - sunkit   Frostsoul and Lightningspirit ! to Windclan!!

If there was one thing he knew about being sick, it was to not fool around with it. He had gone too long without taking any herbs, and that had cost him a life. One that he could have used protecting his clanmates. Two lives in three days...He had gotten a scolding from Starclan about that one. After receiving treatment, of course, he felt a lot better now. So, he was sure Sparrowpaw would be back to her old self here before too long. He padded over quietly and took a seat next to Minkpaw, only nodding in greeting as he arrived. The rest of the clan had already spoken, so he was sure Sparrowpaw would probably feel crowded enough.

Trying to use this one, but it won't center, it wants to sit in the left. How would I go about centering it? Vixika (:

★☆★He did not know the former medicine cat very well, but he was aware that some of his clanmates were closer to the tom. Haycloud being one of them. Lizardstar wished he could have gotten to know the other tom better, but now it was too late. He had hoped Halcyon would have emerged from the tunnels, even a few days after the flood, but alas it appeared the temporary medicine cat had vanished, sucked away by the waters to potentially not return. He hoped Starclan hadn't claimed him, and that someday he would return, but without finding a body, the clan would never know. Maybe someday he would return, like Eaglespirit and Minkpaw once had, but until then, this would serve as closure.

The dark tomcat had collected some stray flowers from near the camp's exit, and placed them in a pile in the center of the camp. He then padded a few paw-steps away from the pile, and waited for the rest of the clanmates who wished to attend to arrive.

The sound from Duckthroat and Minkpaw caused his ears to twitch curiously. Now that he was feeling somewhat better, he could actually interact with his friends now (what a concept). The three legged tom hopped over, his steps growing more cautious as the buzzing noise grew louder. His stomach tightened as he looked up at the wasp nest. “Flea bitten creatures.” the leader grumbled, shaking his head. He hated getting stung by wasps, but he hadn’t seen a nest inside the camp before. “We will wait until nightfall to move the nest. They can’t fly at night.” An old Elder’s tale, but hopefully it was true, or else they would be getting stung tonight.

He had heard the excited chirps from the kits from a few tail lengths away. Now that they were above ground again, he missed sleeping with Stormfeather and their kits, but they were nearing the age of apprenticeship, so soon he would at least have Storm back. The dark tomcat hopped over to join in on the commotion to see if Minkpaw needed any help with the easily excitable kittens. He was relieved to see they weren't causing her too much trouble. She was fitting into her nursery-helper position well. The leader let out a chuckle as Carrotkit begged to leave the camp. "You may go with Koipaw, but you must follow her very closely. If you take a paw step out of line, I'll hear about it."
