He was becoming anxious- nervous about Inori and Hollypaw. It didn't take much time for the tom to break under pressure and he followed their scent to check on them.


    [color=slategrey]Heian laid some of the extra cotton she had about the medicine den around the King, making a sort of bed around him as he rested. Finishing up, she sorted out herbs. Eventually, her mind began to wander and she looked back at Mint, ears pricking forward as she prepared to hear the answer to her next question: "How do you feel about that tom from the rogues staying with us?" she asked quietly, looking down at her paws. "Xiu appointed him to help me while you were passed out. I think he felt bad making that decision in your place..."

    Xiu had only just arrived when Petal took her last breath. He brushed his tail against Hollypaw's flank as he arrived, looking at the two. "Did she touch you?" he asked, his fur bristling slightly. He was a guard, meaning he was naturally protective- and now especially after recent events. As the young cat fell to the ground, the guard gasped. He didn't know what was happening and surely didn't know how to deal with it. He nudged her with his nose, pushing her flank gently. "Hollypaw!" He cried, nudging her again. He looked at Inori, panic taking over. He quickly calmed himself down. [b]"As a guard to be, this is normal. She betrayed our clan, attacked her own."

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub]Xiu ended up carrying Hollypaw back to camp, bringing her into the medicine cat den to rest up. He would have figured that she would need her father's comfort, so he made her a space next to Mint. Heian quickly tended to her, giving her chamomile so she would be able to calm down. She also gave Mint dandelion to chew on for the pain.

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub]The medicine cat den was once again becoming crowded, But Xiu stay put anyway as he sat down, tail wrapping around his white paws tightly. He was still tense. He hadn't known how to fix what was going on within the clan- and that was all he wanted. To be able to fix it- to bring peace back.


    Heian allowed a soft, weakly smile to creep up onto her maw as she watched Mint comfort Hollypaw. Her gaze then settled on Xiu, and the smile vanished. It was evident that he was a distressed cat. He looked like he was being physically weighed down by the stress- but somehow the tom was so far doing well in hiding that. She shifted on her paws and let a sigh slip past her teeth.


    And then the news of Petal. Heian gasped. "Mint, don't strain yourself!" she exclaimed in warning. He would only worsen his wounds. She shot up to her paws and tried convincing him to stay, but it was his sister they were talking about.


    Seemingly out of nowhere, Xiu spoke after taking a glance at Hollypaw. His heart broke as he related to her, remembering his first kill. It shook him to the bone... But it was meant to be. "It was me." he lied, taking the blame.

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub]Xiu had missed out on the events, picking his head up quickly as Hollypaw called him. The voice was familiar, so he was calm. The two had been experiencing a lot of the same emotions. Emptiness, nothingness.... He shifted on his paws as the young feline approached him. "Yes, Hollypaw?" he asked gently, gaze falling onto her. He could tell she'd been upset and he could only understand. He nodded towards Inori as she appeared next her sister. "Hey, Inori."

    Xiu and Heian both rushed to Mint as they were called, both easily noticing he'd downed a life. They followed him to his den, both sitting down. Heian spoke first, asking about his well being and if he was alright.

    Xiu watched the events unfold before him, Emerald gaze cast upwards towards the sky where Mint seemed to reside. He eyed Hollypaw as she became the focus of the meeting, pride swelling within him. He loved watching as apprentices took their places as a hunter or guard.


    [color=slategrey]Heian sat closely to Xiu, tail curling around her front paws in her near posture. She was excited for Hollypaw.

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub][color=slategrey]Heian's eyes wandered over to Blue, whom she'd had on her mind a bit. It was interesting, his situation, and how he seemed to be a part of the silver lining in all the bad going on right now. She watched his features and how submerged he seemed to be in clan life. It was sweet, almost. A very subtle smile stretched her maw just slightly, and she looked away as not to be caught staring.

    [sub]// Hey guys! Sorry for the inactivity. I haven't been on this sub-account because I wasn't sure that wintry was going to keep the thread going during the site transfer. I was wrong to assume not. //


    Xiu smiled at Mint's decision. The precaution had been a great idea. With every cat trained properly, they would be able to put up a much better fight in case the rogues would make a return... and lately Xiu feared they would. He could feel it in his gut, twisting its warnings inside. He shook the thought. They would be prepared and that was all that mattered. Shiny pelt glistening in the sun, the tom turned to Hollyclaw, who seemed to be excited about the training. A smile stretched across his maw and he nodded, getting to his paws and stretching slightly. "As you wish, Hollyclaw." he tried out her new name as a congratulatory remark.


    [color=slategrey]Heian smiled softly at the comment. In the midst of all the chaos, she was proud of herself for being able to keep calm, and to still be able to smile. After Mint's vision, she was especially relieved, and knew that good would come to the clan in time. And good was all they deserved after the rogues wrecked everything. Dual colored eyes fastened onto Blue, the femme purred slightly. "Our clan's kits have always grown up to prove their worth. Clanlife might just be the change you've been needing, Blue." she mused softly, tail tracing over his flank in an assuring, affectionate gesture.

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub]The medicine cat purred, giggling at his concern. "Oh, you mean Xiu? He couldn't hurt a fly." she responded softly, watching as the newly acclaimed Guard unleashed her attacks on the king-to-be. The purr in her throats was steady, and she looked at Blue with soft eyes. "You don't have to worry about the cats here getting hurt. We're all a family, joined together to protect and defend our clan." the feline offered an assuring smile before raising a paw to her face, beginning to groom herself.


    Suddenly, she looked up and around. Where... where was Lightningpaw?! "Blue... have you seen Lightningpaw?? Can you help me find him? I can't scent him... He's blind, oh Starclan... what do I do?" she was clearly in distress, jumping to her paws. She motioned the tom to follow her with her tail as she looked about, doing her best to scent the apprentice.


    Xiu knew Hollyclaw's strength- and he knew that she was a well trained young feline, so he unsheathed his claws and rolled her over. He bit her neck as he pinned her down belly-up, but didn't bite as hard as to draw blood. It wasn't his intention to do so. "You're doing good," he told her with a chuckle, rolling over again before she had the chance to kick him in his belly.

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub]Xiu's pupils shrunk into slits. He couldn't bear losing another clanmate after everything that had gone down. He looked at Mint, nodding. "Yes, sir!" he responded briefly. His fur stood on edge, and he met with Blue and Mistsong.


    [color=slategrey]Heian's fur was bristled, but she nodded towards blue. "Please, help them... I'll handle Hollyclaw." she brought herself to say, her heart racing within her chest. She collected the lavender and the chamomile and headed to the guard's side. When she spoke, her voice was shaken, but obviously filled with an attempt to console. "Here, sweetheart... Take this."

    [fancypost borderwidth= 0px; border-bottom= #863800 solid; height: auto; width: 325px; text-align: justify;][sub][color=slategrey]The medicine cat was tending to Hollyclaw when she could have sworn she heard Lighningpaw's voice. She looked up, about to announce to the clan that he was doing fine, that they didn't have to send out the search party. Saddened eyes lit up as she looked up, looking at the tom. And then everything around her stopped- it went dark. Heian felt like she was having a vision, but she knew that she was wide awake- that this was actually happening. She studied her apprentice, his starry pelt and awakened eyes. He could see, and she could sense it. "Lightningpaw..." she mewed ever so quietly, her voice shaken. It was then when she started to connect things. The starlit, glowing pelt, his ability of sight... Lightningpaw had left Emeraldclan to join Starclan... Starclan. She never had a reason to believe- but this was utter proof.


    Lightningpaw... was dead. But why was he visiting her? She waited for the tom's response.

    // wow... What is this update. Formerly, I was excited but now I don't know how to even check unread replies. Mother is rushing me so I will have to reply to this on another day, my apologies.


    Its xiu, by the way. //

    Heian blinked at the tom, her eyes beginning to well up at the news. She could have sworn she heard others calling her name, but she ignored them- for this had been a more pressing matter. She swallowed hard. "Should I tell the others? They're looking for you..." she murmured to the starry pelted young male.

    A single nod from Heian, and she purred slightly from the nuzzle.


    Just as soon as he arrived, he was gone. Heian felt herself being pulled into reality, and she looked around. She needed to search for the others, to make sure a few of the guards remained in camp.

    Heian blinked over at Mint, quickly bowing her head with a nervous chuckle. "I'm sorry, Mint... I must have spaced completely out for a second," she told him, bringing her head back to nod. "I'll stay, but we can't send all of our guards. What if... they come back?" she breathed in caution, eyes widening at Lightningpaw's words as she recalled them.
