Welcome to IceClan... The home of the IceClan cats... The freezing cold mountains...
The Journey begins...

The Leader, Frozenstar, wants to take the cats of her clan to a new and warmer place, for the cold mountains are no place for any cat... But are some cats old enough, or too old for the journey?

The Cats Are...
~ Frozenstar
~ Umbercloud
~ Wolfang
~ Mothpaw
~ Firepelt
~ Hemlockforest
~ Snowfang
~ Bearpaw
~ Mushroompaw
~ Snowykit
~ Darkkit
~ Skywhisper
~ Poppyscar

Are the cats brave and strong enough to last the long journey for a new home?

Frozenstar stood on the HighMound, watching over the dens. She observed the kits playing around, the snow falling gently, and her deputy, Umbercloud. But as the snow fell heavier, she yowled, "All Cats, I repeat, All Cats! Go inside your dens!". Just as she feared, the snow thickened at a great rate. Sighing about this hard life in a forever leaf-bare, she retreated into her den.

As the snow was falling heavier and heavier, a bright orange pelt stood out, Firepelt. His bright orange pelt and green eyes made him easily recognized. A confident and cheerful warrior, he helped the kits and apprentices inside. He made light of it, joking that StarClan was giving them more snow to bring out prey. But even though he was trying to be entertaining, he himself was worried inside. 'If Frozenstar ordered that we leave the cold mountains, how will the kits and Wolfang survive? The kits are too little and Wolfang isn't as young as he once was.' Firepelt thought.

Snowykit looked at Firepelt, noticing his worries. "Is it true that there will be no newleaf, greenleaf, and leaf-fall here? Just only leaf-bare?" she asked, trying to take his mind off of it. "Of course, Snowykit. Haven't you seen? Of the four moons you are alive, it's only been leaf-bare." he replied calmly. But Snowykit was convinced. She was sure that she remembered seeing the sun, a clear blue sky, real plants. She remembered that she danced and ran through green grass. But if Firepelt was right, was it truly leaf-bare forever?

Mothpaw moved carefully to the apprentice dens. Being unable to see didn't matter much when the landscape was constantly covered in snow. Even those with the best sight could have trouble in this sort of region. This never deterred Mothpaw. No no. She enjoyed the snow. She was able to find her way through the territory and any prey under the layers of snow with ease. She liked being helpful, and nothing was more helpful than aiding the warriors in healing from wounds and illness!

Darkkit was not a fan of being treated like the average kit. She felt herself above the other mouse-brained kits. She wished she could be an apprentice or even a warrior already!

Snowykit, noticing her friend Darkkit's anger, quickly whispered, "One day, we'll both be the best warriors in the Clan!" Firepelt, noticing this, said, "Don't worry. In only a couple of moons, you'll be an apprentice to a great mentor." Snowykit gave Firepelt a look of gratitude. "Hey, Darkkit! Come on! Let's play with a moss ball in the nursery!" Snowykit meowed and ran off "Race you!"

UMBERCLOUD The Deputy squinted against the stark-white snow, making it hard to see beyond a tail-length away. She'd heard Frozenstar's cry for every cat to retreat to their dens, and she knew that it'd be a pain to send out patrols in this weather.

Umbercloud stayed out of the Warriors' den for a mere moment. Making sure that every cat was getting safely to their dens, using her large stature to let those with shorter legs sit on her back as she acted as a ferry back and forth. The bitter cold nipped at her snout and paws, and she knew she'd be going numb if she remained out in the cold any longer. But what choice was there?

"At this rate, the fresh-kill pile is going to be empty for moons," she grumbled to herself, tail twitching irritably. Her ears pinned back against her head, and she tucked into her mane, trying to think of what she could do.

MUSHROOMPAW Mushroompaw had been tending to the Nursery, changing out old bedding with what little moss she was able to get her paws on, when the cry for every cat to go to their dens was given.

"Ah, gee, that ain't good," she meowed. The snow was getting heavier, and her short legs could only get her so far before she was practically drowning in snow. Not literally, but certainly close to it. But she pressed on, finally able to escape her freezing semi-prison and making her way to the Apprentices' den, where she began to lap at her freezing pelt to try to get warmth back into her legs.

"Brr! It sure is chilly out there, eh Mothpaw?" she meowed to the Medicine Apprentice.

Darkkit couldn't help a small smile as Snowykit began to run to the nursery. Snowykit was the sole kit she could stand. She quickly darted alongside Snowykit.

Mothpaw smiled at the sound of another's voice. Mushroompaw if she recalled correctly. "Indeed. Iceclan is known for its coldness. The reason for its name is this very weather."

"It's cold!" Bearpaw exclaimed when she touch the snow. Then she went back inside where Mushroompaw was waiting for her.

Hearing what Frozenstar had already said, Snowfang quickly rushed inside the warrior's den. It was way too cold for most cats to stay outside for long. Also, the fresh-kill pile is decreasing in size. Is Frozenstar actually moving our clan to somewhere safer, Snowfang wonders?

Firepelt went up to Umbercloud. "If we don't get fresh-kill, what will we do? Are the rumors true? Is Frozenstar actually going to order us to leave?" he questioned. Hoping that the rumors weren't true, he "crossed his paws".

Snowykit, seeing that Darkkit was following her, sped up and was racing towards the nursery.

Wolfang grumbled in his sleep before waking up to the chattering of kits and warriors. He stretched his paws and took a long yawn before walking out to get some fresh air. He grumbled softly flicking his ears and his paws softly sank into the cold snow.

He took one look at the shape the clan was in a shook his head. If the leader was correct, he would need to prepare his den.

"Now where is Mothpaw...?" Asked Wolfang grunted taking a look around. "I could use her to help me pack the herbs."

UMBERCLOUD "I don't have any confirmation on the matter yet," she meowed down-heartedly. "But I don't want to leave this land. Not after all we've been through here. If it's the only option, then sure, but I'm hoping we can figure something out."

It was true. Umbercloud had no clue what the final say would be; it wasn't her choice to make overall. But regardless of what decision was made, some cats would protest no matter what. It was about finding the best option for IceClan's survival, whatever that ended up being.

"I have a feeling we may be leaving, though."

MUSHROOMPAW Mushroompaw hobbled over to Bearpaw and immediately began to lap at her denmate's fur, trying to make sure she stayed warm too.

"Yeah! I sure hope it warms up. I 'unno if my little paws can take it anymore," she mewed to Mothpaw and Bearpaw. "I just hope that we don't go numb before the next moon passes. I kinda like bein' able to touch rocks."

She was jittering in place as she finished grooming Bearpaw's pelt, now waddling to Mothpaw to check up on her. "You think we're gonna get it to warm up if we shake the den enough? I wanna try it.."

Frozenstar called out the All-clear. That meant that it was again safe for every cat to leave their dens. Looking out on the desolate and poor landscape, she turned her attention to the nursery and the apprentice's den. The dens were starting to fall apart, and the twigs that were used were brittle. Looking at the cats playing around, some cold, others bored, she finally made the decision. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey meet under the HighMound!" she yowled "I have decided that we must leave this cold forever-leaf-bare place. We will not last any longer without fresh-kill and a proper supply of herbs. Wolfang, and all queens. Will the kits and apprentices be okay on the long journey for a new home?"

Pretty much expecting this, Firepelt quietly snuck over to the fresh-kill pile, where he grabbed a fat and juicy mouse in his mouth and walked to the nursery, placing the mouse in front of the kits. "Eat up" he said "There's going to be a long journey ahead of us".

Surprised, Snowykit simply meowed "Thanks!". But she turned around and whispered "So it's true? We're actually leaving?" and in a louder voice, said "Darkkit! Come out here! There's some mouse, your favorite right?"

Mothpaw purred when the All-Clear was called. She joined her mentor, Wolfang, at the HighMound, as she was one of the elder apprentices.

Darkkit sniffed the air. The smell of the prey, the mouse, was enticing enough to bring her forth. She smiled at Snowykit and nodded a thank you to Firepelt.

Snowykit then giggled and blew out a snowflake from her jaws. "Ooh!! Let's share!!"

Firepelt, noticing this, then left to give the kits their privacy and stuff.

Wolfang grunted for a moment. He was a pretty old medicine cat, but he felt that he was strong enough to make the journey. He glanced down at his apprentice, Mothpaw, before looking up at FrozenStar to reply.

"I agree with you Frozenstar, some of us may be a little to young or too old to travel, but I say that we should leave in search for a new home. But with the amount of younger cats in our clan, we should make sure their fit to travel."

Frozenstar replied calmly, "How's your stock of traveling herbs? And of course, we can share our fresh-kill with the younger cats. Wolfang, I'm sure you'll make it too. You're not that old. And Firepelt, I already saw you giving that mouse to the kits. Good job."

Firepelt, noticing that heads were turning around in the clan, just lowered his head and replied "Frozenstar, if we are really going to travel, what if most of us don't survive? After all, a lot of the clan is just younger cats and one old cat, no offense Wolfang. How are we expected to make it through, especially since the snow foxes are getting bolder?"

Surprised by his reaction, Frozenstar meowed, "Even if it goes against StarClan, I'm going to 'promote' the kits into apprentices early, so that they can learn how to survive in this cold environment".

Snowykit heard most of it. "Imagine Darkkit! Frozenstar said that we're going to be apprentices early!"

Wolfang glanced back at his medicine den before frowning. "Not that good, our chervil and borage stock is out, and we only have a little bit of moss left." He grumbled to himself annoyingly about the herbs before settling down.

"Also," Wolfang said glancing over at Mothpaw, "Mothpaw is one of the elder apprentices and she's doing a wonderful job in the medicine den, and I think that she deserves to become a full medicine cat before we leave."

Mothpaw was shocked. Mentor Wolfang wanted her to be a fully fledged Medicine Cat?!

Darkkit purred, delighted at the thought of becoming an apprentice early. She wouldn't have to deal with the mouse-brained kits of the nursery!

He nodded at Mothpaw.

"Your great efforts in the medicine den have proved well. By the power of Starclan, I give you your true name as a medicine cat.... (You can choose any name you want.) Starclan honors your virtues and we welcome you as a full medicine cat."

Frozenstar purred with amusement. "It's been a while since we've had that. And now, I want the kits to become apprentices early. Although it is true that the Warrior Code forbids against it, it will be the best way for the kits to survive. What do you think, Umbercloud?" Frozenstar looked hesitantly at her deputy.

Snowykit said, "See, Darkkit! We can be apprentices together! I wonder who our mentors will be..."
