"We are safe from the judgement."

There was a darkness in the camp and a heaviness in the air. Not the kind of dark and heaviness that came from sorrow or tragedy, but the physical kind. The sky was filled with dark grey clouds that almost looked black. Cats kept their heads down and treaded lightly, as if stepping too hard would bring all the wrath of StarClan down on them.

A brutal storm was coming, the kind that could only be associated with Newleaf. Doverain had only experienced these twice, once as a kit and again as a new warrior. Even back then it filled her with excitement and energy, just like it was doing now. She wanted nothing more than to stand out in the open and let it drench her. She'd deal with the annoyance of cleaning her pelt later and her fur weighing her down.

But noooo. Silly Patchpelt said "No don't do that you'll get sick and it might harm the kits". Psh, what did he know? She was the one carrying these future furballs, not him. If she wanted to splash in puddles and track mud and make a giant mess, she bloody well will!

... Later. Maybe.

She was too comfortable right now. She'd have to find out which apprentice made up her nest because there were feathers in it and she just really didn't want to move right now. Maybe it was one of her apprentice-aged kits. They always knew how to make Doverain do things she didn't necessarily want to do, like stay in her nest.

That didn't mean she wouldn't go outside when the storm finally broke. She listened with pricked ears for the pitter patter of rain, but it hadn't come yet. Instead she heard the pitter patter of pawsteps heading towards the nursery and lifted her head towards the den entrance, but she couldn't see who it was. "Can I help you?"

Shrewblaze weaved his way through the pines of ShadowClan, his pelt already nearly coated with mud. If only this mousebrained frog had been easier to catch, if it had just been a little kinder, then maybe he wouldn't be so muddy. He held his hard earned prize tightly, refusing to let go of the funny looking creature before getting to camp. He would not let his discomfort go to waste, even if it was just for a frog. But a frog was still prey, and it would still be enjoyed by someone, whether it be queen or kit, elder or apprentice. The darkness hung low in the air, and it felt as though it were already close to night fall. For a moment, he questioned whether to just hunker down and eat it right there. But no, he had to bring it back to camp for another cat. Maybe he could eat later.

He walked into camp, leaving a trail of muddy footprints behind him. He kept the frog grasped firmly between his teeth as he thought. Should he just drop it in the freshkill pile, or should he give it to someone directly? He could give it to one of his sisters, or maybe even his uncle, but his mind ended up drifting to the nursery. There had to at least one queen in there now, hadn't there? He moved towards the den, the frog still dangling from his jaws.

The darkness of camp was almost overwhelming; not because Shrewblaze didn't like the dark, but because it was supposed to be bright outside at this time in the day. It just felt wierd for it to feel as though night had already reached the forest. Shrewblaze swore that it would rain soon. He just hoped that he would be able to get away from it when it did.

He approached the nursery only to hear a rather sour remark. "Um, hello Doverain," He said, peeking his head into the den. "I brought you a frog if you want it," He dropped the frog to give his mud ridden pelt a quick lick in an obviously feeble attempt to make himself look presentable.

The sudden smell of damp overturned earth made her strain her ears. It had to be at least drizzling. The only other reason she could think of for the overwhelming scent was her visitor had rolled in every mud puddle in the territory before coming to the nursery.

For that reason alone she thought it was Puddlesplash. But the voice that called to her wasn't that of her eldest son. Instead, it was the young warrior Shrewblaze. "Um, hello Doverain." he greeted, sticking his head into the nursery. "I brought you a frog, if you want it."

She'd already eaten today, but the thought of a nice juicy frog made her belly rumble. She swung herself up to her paws easily enough, as her belly hadn't swollen yet. "I'll take it. Clean yourself up before you come in or you'really replacing the nests you dirty up!"

A sudden crack of Thunder made her pelt stand in end and she hastily changed her mind. "On second thought, don't bother. Just get in here before you get drenched even more!"

Shrewblaze felt a drop of water land on his fur, and he shivered at it's touch. It was surely going to start raining soon, and he certainly did not want to stay outside longer than he needed to. Rain continued to fall, but Shrewblaze was lucky that it was only a slight drizzle. He continued to hold the frog tightly as Doverain stood. She looked rather awkward, her belly swollen like a river after a storm. Part of him couldn't wait for her kittens to be born. He had a fatherly instinct that he could not get rid of. It might have been because of his children that he never got to raise. But he had created them through illegal means, and not seeing the young warriors was his punishment. He pushed his feelings about Doverain's up and coming litter down as she spoke to him.

He sighed as he gently set the frog on the ground and reached back to give his shoulder a lick. The icky taste of mud filled his mouth. His face contorted in disgust as he attempted to start cleaning off his pelt. A boom of thunder caused him to stop due to the fact that he had nearly leapt right out of his own pelt. Doverain seemed to have changed her mind about him needing to clean off his fur, and he scrambled inside to avoid the thunder and the rain that was surely on its way. He sat just inside the nursery, trying to keep his muddy fur away from Doverain's nest. "So do you know when they are due?" He asked, picking up the frog and placing it in front of the queen.

Doverain twitched her whiskers at the face he made when he tried to lick off the mud. Really, she would have been satisfied if he'd just shaken off the excess mud so he didn't drip everywhere. But that clap of thunder that had startled her had also scared him, and Shrewblaze was quick to scurry into the nursery to shelter from the storm.

He was at least polite enough to do everything he could do to keep his mess to himself. "So do you know when they are due?" he asked, picking up the frog and placing it in front of her. Doverain paid it little mind and cringed at his pelt. "Stay there and don't move. I'll be back."

She went to one of the unused nests, and used her claws to tear it up into bits, rolling it into balls no bigger than her paw. By the time she was done, she had five or six of them. Doverain used her tail to carefully herd the bundles toward him without them falling apart. Only when she was right next to him did she look back up at him. "I'm going to use these to clean up your pelt a little. It was an unused nest so it won't inconvenience anyone later on, and you won't have to clean it up. I'll just get young Blossompaw or one of my kits to fetch more if it becomes necessary."

Doverain hooked one of the balls of moss onto her claws and firmly dabbed at Shrewblaze's pelt, scraping off all the mud and earth she could get before throwing the filthy ball to the edge of the den. "They won't be here for another moon, possibly more. Honestly I could have stayed a warrior for another half a moon, but Patchpelt used those eyes on me and I can't really say no to those eyes. Plus my other litters all got in on it and it was just easier to give in than fighting. Pick your battles, as Toadbelly likes to say."

She stepped back to look him over and decided they'd need more mossballs. "Here, do your other side with these. I'll clean which spot you can't reach when I get more." She pushed the remaining three mossballs toward him and retreated further away to another unused nest.

AUGUST 27TH, 2016

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.
