Warriors: The Colonies of The Dead

The Darkest swim

Silverpaw was walking next to Moosepaw, the only other skyclan apprentice to come with the colony. Silverpaw was glad to not be the only apprentice who left with the colony He'd rather not be stuck with a bunch of old badgers along this trip.

"hey Silverpaw, do you think when we get to the new land, there will be cliffs?" Moosepaw asked while staring straight ahead.

"what?" silverpaw looked to him confused.

"well, I remember one of the elders telling a story of how skyclan cats used to live next to a cliff, and that it made our paws extra tough." Silverpaw shook his head at such a story. 

"I wouldn't even believe that for a squirrel" 

"Silverpaw come up here!" Silverpaw looked up to see that it was Rockstar calling, without hesitation he rushed up to the front of the colony.

Silverpaw was excited as he got up to Rockstar, "so how's my favorite apprentice doing?" Silverpaw felt his fur go hot at the compliment.

"FaVoRiTe?" his voice cracked a little, he quickly turned his head with embarrassment. Rockstar chuckled as he continued his words.

"sure, of course! You were brave to come with the colony and if I'm honest, it reminded me of...well myself." he chuckled again "so with that being said, I want you to be my apprentice since your mentor decided not to come."

Silverpaw couldn't believe it, he would be the apprentice to the leader of Skyclan. How could he refuse. "I don't even know what to say."

Rockstar looked to him with purr "how about yes?"

Silverpaw looked at him, 'he's everything I want to be a leader,charmer, a warrior.' Silverpaw without any anticipation exclaimed "yes! I would be honored Rockstar."

Rockstar purred with calmness as he spoke "Perfect, then we'll get started soon...." he was quickly interrupted by Vinesnout, Skyclans Deputy.

"Rockstar, Lionsong came back from his scouting patrol looks like theirs an impassable river up ahead and....well he said it looked wrong."

Rockstar looked at her with annoyance at first but then quickly switched his demeaner and spoke quite elegantly. "Hm sounds quite bad, Vinesnout be a friend and fetch the Riverclan colony. It seems we'll be requiring their help."

Vinesnout bowed as she walked away and towards the riverclan colony. Rockstar then turned his attention back to silverpaw, "right their is a good lesson, never let anything get to you even ANNOYING interruptions."

His voice seemed happy and yet angry, Silverpaw simply nodded in agreement "Right, right."

Mossclaw was walking alone a little ways away from Ottersun, he wanted to give her some space so she could talk with Oakstorm his name alone made Mossclaw groan. He was always jealous every one in the clan could see it except Ottersun.

In many ways Mossclaw respected Oakstorm 'he's a proud descendant of Oakheart and a great warrior. And a goofball, ugh if only he would know his place' Mossclaw didn't want to think about it.

the more he thought of them being mates scared him, 'Ottersun loves me, right? right she has too argh I should've been happy when she told me she was going.' he left his family for her.

He turned his head to look at the two he saw them chatting and laughing, his envy was showing. before he could think of anything else he looked to see a skyclan cat talking with Pondstar.

'wonder whats going on now?' he walked up to hear what they were saying, "what do you mean impassable?" Pondstar looked confused but quickly did his best to act more 'leaderly.'
