It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life.

ASTERFANG

This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."

He didn’t mind chilly mornings in the slightest- freezing mornings were uncomfortable, yes, but not cool mornings like this. In fact, he quite enjoyed them, despite his short fur and small frame. He found that they helped wake him up, clear his mind, make him fresh for the start of a new day.

Asterfang’s warm breath misted the air as he exhaled, but leafbare’s cold had lost its bite and signs of newleaf were already starting to appear. Trees that had been bare for the past few moons were starting to sprout new leaves; some of the early-blooming shrubs and flowers were already popping up here and there around the territory. Everything was starting to come back to life, and just in time too; the warrior had been exhausted by the cold season, and this time it seemed to drag on and on.

He slowly unsheathed his claws, sinking them into the branch he was balancing on. The bark was still hard and he left faint scars and scratches in the branch as he walked. Asterfang made his way towards the narrow end of the branch, away from the trunk of the oak tree. Even for SkyClan cats, he often ventured onto thinner branches than some of the other warriors. Some attributed this to either bravery or stupidity; Asterfang just liked to point out his shorter stature and lighter weight whenever this was brought up. But the tom had to admit to himself, he did enjoy the jolt he sometimes got looking down from the branches, suspended over almost nothing but the clumped ferns, as if he were walking on air instead.

Satisfied with his position, the warrior paused, claws now fully embedded in the branch under his paws. Even with the leaves only just starting to unfurl on the trees, there were still plenty of spots with dense leaves, perfect for birds and squirrels to hide in. His hazel eyes scanned each patch carefully, waiting for his prey to betray its location by rustling the leaves. Admittedly he had never been the best tracker, and birds still had the tendency to elude him now and again, but he could definitely nab at least a squirrel or two before he headed back to camp.

Wasptail was enjoying her quiet time in the den. Not quite awake yet but still
aware of her surroundings. She liked these calm moments before the start of
the day, and during these cold mornings she wished that they lasted longer.

Movement in the den made her eyes open, dark shapes exiting out into camp
meant her last couple minutes of comfort were over. Rising from her nest she
tried to stretch out her rigid muscles before slowly making her way outside.
The sky was just beginning to lighten, the days growing longer with each
passing of the moon. Wasptail couldn’t wait until Greenleaf, short fur was nice
but this chill bored into her like a stubborn tick.

Only way to beat the cold was to get moving. Wasptail trotted slowly out of
camp and into the woods surrounding their territory. Snow no longer
blanketed the ground, only frost and fresh sprouts fighting to poke through
the hard ground. Breathing in she could smell other cats out and about, their
traces faint but recognizable. The earlier birds had already come and gone.
She travelled farther into the woods until a rustling noise from above caught
her attention. Curiosity got the better of her, and soon she was slowly making
her way up the tree. Wasptail climbed with ease, much like any Skyclanner
could, the talent imbedded into their blood from generations past. A grey and
white blur caught her eye as she climbed, and then she realized who she had
followed. Only Asterfang could climb so high.

Reaching his branch she tried to inch her way towards him, but she was still a
good ways away and still safely rooted onto the sturdy base of the branch
before she could go no farther. He was balancing precariously close to the
edge, a vantage point Wasptail wasn’t so keen on. One false move could spell
disaster for any cat. “Careful Asterfang or else the owls will snatch you up”
She teased, but also worried about that very same prospect. The day was still
young, and owls were most likely still out and about, or returning to their
nests to roost. But at least now there were two of them.

OOC- Sorry took longer to make a halfway decent post xD

ASTERFANG

This ain't no place for no hero.
This ain't no place for no better man.
This ain't no place for no hero
To call "home."

The scent of SkyClan grew stronger in the air and Asterfang was vaguely aware of the faint scratching noises of a cat climbing the trunk of the tree he was on. He was too focused, however, on searching for some prey to catch that it wasn’t until a voice broke the silence that he realized who exactly it was.

“Careful Asterfang or else the owls will snatch you up,” came Wasptail’s familiar voice as he pricked his ears. The playfulness was not lost on the tom, and he turned carefully where he sat to face her. She stood on the same branch as he did, though closer to the trunk of the tree where it was sturdier, more secure. “Wasptail,” he greeted the fellow warrior with a grin and a quick nod. “I’d feel bad for any owls that try; I’m not an easy meal they can just swoop off with.” His paws flexed into the branch as if to emphasis this points, but his voice mirrored her light and teasing tone.

There was motion behind her- Asterfang’s tail flicked behind him as he leaned a hair to his right to get a better glimpse. Sure enough there was a squirrel, not in their tree but the one just behind that, it’s long fluffy tail draped on the limb where it sat grooming itself. His amber eyes traced the branches that interwove and crossed one another between the trees. The squirrel would be easy enough to reach; the path was straightforward.

Asterfang tilted his head towards the squirrel slowly to indicate its position to her, in case she hadn’t noticed it. Then, silently so as not to startle it away, he mouthed the words to Wasptail: ‘You want it, or should I?’ She was closer, but he was more than happy to hunt the rodent if she declined.

Hi everyone,
This announcement is being made with an extremely heavy heart, and we know it may not be a popular one. However, Alee and I have made the decision that we are going to be closing Chasing the Sun by the end of the month. Originally, we were going to wait till the end of the activity check before making the call either way, as no doubt some of you picked up from my introduction to the check itself. But, after seeing some of the most recent hiatuses and their updates, and talking with a few members who will not be continuing on the site, we’ve decided at this stage in time, it’s the right time to bring things to a close.

Full Closure Explaination Here

VOTE FOR US, RESOURCES & SISTER SITES

Chasing the Sun is a play-by-post roleplay based on the Warriors series by Erin Hunter. We are set in the original forest in an alternative universe from the books, where SkyClan were never forced from the forest and the characters we have known and loved have not existed. We have a 150-word minimum and a sandbox roleplay setting that does not have an overarching plot, only those that members form together. The world is there to shape by the characters than inhabit it, growing the forest into something unique from what we have seen before. With plenty of characters and a community that is always looking for new people to join in the fun, we are always happy to have new faces joining the ranks! Take a look around, and we’d love to have you on board!

key plot updates

THUNDERCLAN VERSES BADGERS
Due to a change of high ranks that is to take place, this plot has been updated and modified. if you were originally involved, please make sure to check the thread and voice if you still want involvement as soon as possible! The Forest Prince is the the current thread leading into the start of this plot.

WIND/SHADOW VERSES ROGUES
Redstar, Rosestar and their fellow high ranks of WindClan and ShadowClan have met on the border of the clans and formed a truce, after it has become aware that a group of rogues has become a threat. Both leaders have addressed this issue in their clan meetings, with Rosestar setting the rule that until the rogues have been dealt with, cats are not to leave camp alone.

WINDCLAN - MEDICINE CAT PLOT
A significant change has taken place in the direction of this plot, and the main post has now been edited to reflect such. We are still looking for WindClan cats to be involved, so if you have a cat you’d like to have something happen to, places are still open.

SKYCLAN VERSES RIVERCLAN
With the border clash narrowly avoided by Pinestar’s intervention, steam has yet to ease, as the SkyClan patrol stand in camp to address the clan getting too ambitious. Meanwhile, with the change in leadership of RiverClan causing discomfort across the clan, there is no doubt that everyone is on edge. Another clash is imminent.
