Moon 1 -
Our story begins with Lightpaw being apprenticed to Foxstripe, the young cat warily touching noses with their new mentor before being quickly whisked away to patrol the territory. Lightpaw returns to camp exhausted but happily settles down to tell Moonkit about everything they saw out in the world. Inspired by his friend's adventures, Moonkit sneaks out of camp that night to explore the territory. It isn't long until Hazelfur tracks him down, and once she decides that his bruises aren't too terrible she gives him a proper scolding.
The next day Foxstripe, Cloverblaze, and Lightpaw come across a rogue attacking a loner while on patrol. The cats face off with the longer, leading to Lightpaw having to spend some time in the medicine den to recover. Cloverblaze brings the injured loner back to camp, who introduces herself as Frostflight the former OspreyClan warrior.
Moon 2 -
Cloverblaze begins spending more time with Foxstripe, much to Lightpaw's displeasure. While the two chat on patrol, Cloverblaze is too distracted to notice the fact fae has stepped into a twoleg trap. Yikes...
In much lighter news, Whirlstar announces that she is pregnant and will be moving to the nursery. She thinks of the life she left behind and the mate she lost in the storm... And silently vows to raise these kits to be warriors that they would be proud of.
Moon 3 -
Just as Lightpaw finally heals from their injuries, the heat of the greenleaf sun causes a small fire in the dried herb stores. Thankfully no one is injured... But the herb stores are no more than a pile of ashes. Weedstripe is, understandably, devastated. She is just thankful she thought to smother the fire with wet moss.
Foxstripe notices that Lightpaw is acting... Different. They're less excitable and curious, seeming like they're always somewhere else. Foxstripe is no stranger to duller feelings and sits his apprentice down, offering them an ear to listen. Lightpaw confesses that they feel like a failure, spending their first two moons of their apprenticeship in the medicine den all because she failed to win a small fight. Foxstripe immediately insists that they are being ridiculous, the odds were stacked against them in that match up and had they had a chance to properly train, they wouldn't have lost. He reassures Lightpaw that he sees how hard they're already trying at their training, and shares stories of when he was an apprentice and felt the same way. Lightpaw feels a bit lighter after the conversation, taking note of Foxstripe's advice to be kinder to themself and to remember that their clanmates were there to protect her when she fell.
Moon 4 -
Moonpaw is apprenticed to Hazelfur, excitedly running to Lightpaw to celebrate with his friend. Frostflight is now up and moving, but seems to have a permanent limp. Whirlstar gives birth to Splashkit, named in honor of his late father.
Moon 5 -
The following moon is relatively quiet, with only a few minor arguments between Lightpaw and Foxstripe. Moonpaw's training is going well.

"Kitty" 🐾✨
///
short comic idea I had the other day...it was so random that I thought itd be cool to board out each panel to see what it would look like and well...now here we are with the finished comic (apologies it's so scribbly and like....kinda not very well-drawn in some parts 😭) But anyway, basically (and set in canon), Lander, Lightfoot, Diver, and Ginrai are in the city again (running errands and the like) and Ginrai finds this cat! He immediately picks it up, all excited and such, while the others warn him to like...maybe consider putting it down and being more careful, to which he's like, "lol youre just jealous--".....and then we cut to Hawk bandaging up his scratches/bites....all is more or less, well in the end 😹✨
so yea! Ginrai being a (cute) dumbass for the win I guess....I just wanted to draw somth fun after all the time spent focusing on school & not being able to do art....you guys I have genuinely been struggling these last two weeks 😔, so it was relaxing and fun to finally draw this out....anyway ✨ I hope you enjoy :]

Canada's Minstrel
My first musical love was folk music, and nobody told its stories better than our own Gordon Lightfoot.
Cover Art: The album was originally titled Sit Down Young Stranger, but when If You Could Read My Mind became a monster hit, they added the little pink sticker until the next pressing when they could rename the album.
As a young pup one of my first forays into the wider world was the bus trip…
