training.

to be honest with himself, egretpaw never thought he would actually dread the word, let alone the action itself. perhaps it was just because he was dead tired and didn't want to do anything. that, or perhaps it was because he was carrying the weight of being the "great magpiestar's apprentice". he didn't care if magpiestar was his grandfather, leader of the clan, or staclan itself. everyone thought that egretpaw had to be the best if he was going to be trained by someone as great and amazing as magpiestar, the old bat.

the grey-and-white tom scowled as he let loose a low growl in his throat. it was just the simple thought that he had to deal with magpiestar today was not setting well with him. why he couldn't have gone training with alligatoreye or spottedwing again was beyond him. he had a better time on that patrol in the fields than he did with his grandfather. with the leader it was always "do this, egretpaw" or "you have to do it this way, egretpaw" or it could even be in his stupid, majestic voice that sounded like he was giving a prophecy from starclan.

letting out a very heavy sigh, egretpaw frowned as he sat with his back to the everything, waiting for his mentor to appear and be his usual 'encouraging' self with his stupid 'wise' face. could today be over already? he had things to do and adventures to take hold of, not be stuck with an old stick in the mud mentor he just had to call grandfather.

MAGPIESTAR

271 words for egretpaw/tikker ♪ ♫

He moved with an almost reluctant care, his paws passing over the earth beneath him with a languid drag. The sun hung low in the sky, casting rays of optimistic warmth to scatter over the ground below. Magpiestar felt, however, anything but optimistic. A great battle lay before him, one that he no longer knew how to fight. His own youth was far behind him, his time of raising children had almost reached its end. Even with Littlepaw remaining, his son was a far different creature than the sullenly hunched child that awaited him.

"Good morning, Egretpaw." Despite the many coarse rebuffs, he still greeted his grandson and apprentice with warmth. He no longer dared actually bestow an affectionate lick upon the young tom, nor did he approach much closer than was necessary. Egretpaw had woven a field of tension between them, thicker than brambles. He fell silent, simply watching his apprentice for a moment. It was this moment, the assurance of the resent and anger that lay inexplicably between them, that forced Magpiestar into an uncharacteristic rashness. He abandoned his plans.

"Tell me, Egretpaw," he paused and blinked, his gaze stoney with a frank seriousness. "What is it you want to learn from me?" He added no superlatives, no pointed reprimands. He had found, in his long life, that there were many sorts of creatures. There were those who went with the grain, and those who fought the river itself. His grandson, despite the pain and chaos it might release around him, was off the more aggressive sort. The impossibility of his task seemed to matter little.

With the heavy sigh already out, egretpaw continued to frown. despite what he thought, and what others probably said, he didn't outright hate his mentor; just more hated the pressure that came along with it. everyone said that he'd become an amazing warrior training under magpiestar, that they were jealous of him and the fact that he got to train under one of the best leaders riverclan has known. it didn't take but a couple of days for the effect of being excited to turn into dread. he wanted to live up to what everyone said he would, but was afraid; not that he'd ever admit that.

"good morning, egretpaw." at the words, egretpaw jumped, muscles tenseing out of fright at the unexpected sound in his silent thoughts. even he could feel the tension in the air as magpiestar settled to simply stay a good distance from him, not something he particularly wanted. either way, egretpaw turned his amber gaze towards his mentor, dipping his head in respect despite the frown still on his face. "good morning, magpiestar," egretpaw stated blandly, a flick of his tail tip in response. he didn't know what magpiestar had in plan for them today, but he figured since he wasn't in too bad of a mood, he could see how being nice worked for the day and go from there. it just seemed that the farther he pushed magpiestar away, the less pressure he felt from everyone else, which he felt was better in the long run. "tell me, egretpaw," magpiestar's voice came again, a pause shortly to follow. "what is it you want to learn from me?"

his tail flicked across the ground, gaze lowered in thought. they could go on a patrol, hunting, or sparring, even fishing in the river. the tom leaned to the side as he thought over the various things they could do, the frown still on his face even if it wasn't as strong as it once was. "i wouldn't mind learning some battle moves, if that's alright." the tom meowed, adding quickly, "that is, if you didn't have something already in mind."

MAGPIESTAR

411 words for egretpaw/tikker ♪ ♫

Of his five surviving children, he was shamefully thankful that none had seemed to take after him. At least, not in the most dangerous of ways. Mousetooth had his dark coloring, Troutfoot had his abiding solemnity, Minnowleap had his temper. But none of them had inherited his ambition, that lingering curse that had descended down through the generations. He had sacrificed much in the name of respect, of honor. But in truth, his sacrifices had been made in the name of pride, of ego, of power. While he would not say such things aloud, he knew them to be true. As a mere child, he had watched the way this curse had destroyed his mother, shattered her from the inside out, stolen her away in the waters of rage. Only a moon ago, he had watched his niece fight the very same battle, clawing her way out from the chasm of ambition. She had walked away, turned from him and given it all up. She had done what he could not do.

He looked to Egretpaw, sullen with the angers of youth. As much as the distasteful frowns, the lurking disappointment, the avoidance, all hurt - they were a strange comfort to him. His grandson had shown himself to be indifferent to the dreams and expectations of others. He acted not to be rewarded, not to please, but rather based on a childish sort of instinct. It was a precious thing - terribly annoying at times - but precious all the same. Magpiestar would have been loathe to guide him out of it, to guide his grandson down his own tumultuous path. So he had given up trying to guide altogether. Egretpaw would find his own path, whatever it may be.

Magpie's thoughts were interrupted by Egretpaw's quiet voice at his side, a voice that betrayed a hint of timid strain. His ears perked in mild surprise, not truly having expected any sort of productive answer from his moody grandson. He nodded quickly, rather pleased with this slight turn of events. "I see no reason why not." He rumbled the reply easily, turning to face Egretpaw as they reached a small clearing. He appraised the young tom frankly. "What, if anything, have you gleaned thus far?" He was not so naive as to expect Egretpaw knew nothing of battle. Young toms tended to pick these things up - from fathers, brothers, other apprentices, even the occasional passing warrior with a moment to spare.

» NOTES: woo, on a roll!

"i see no reason why not, what, if anything, have you gleaned thus far?" magpiestar asked once they reached a small clearing. egretpaw figured magpiestar knew that he'd learned a thing or two from some of the elder apprentices and the warriors of the clan, it would be stupid of him not to ask when they each had a spare moment. it was how he managed to get better and better without having to spend so much time with his own mentor, surrogating magpiestar with other warriors to relieve the pressure and feel more like himself. that is what he liked, and it seemed to mellow him out until the riverclan leader somehow managed to walk by and he felt the return of gleaming pressure that he had to do better. had to be better.

egretpaw twitched his whiskers, tail flicking suddenly, thoughts racing through his mind as to how much he should actually tell his black-and-white mentor. he didn't want any of the others who had helped him to get into any trouble about taking over those sort of duties from magpiestar. after all, how often does one's personality change during a situation? "this and that from those i could manage to get a moment from, not sure if it's anything special other than the basics." egretpaw meowed heavily, his voice gruff in stubborn-ness, his eyes watching that of his mentor. "any other questions?" he asked, trying to keep his voice inquisitive as so he wouldn't come off as so aggressively stubborn but weather or not he succeeded was beyond him.

without being told, egretpaw lowered himself to the ground, tail low and eyes locked on his target for the day: magpiestar. while his grandfather may be the leader of the clan, older than dirt, and an all around goody-good, egretpaw was glad that the tom decided to take him up on the offer and do some battle training. if he managed to get a good few hits in against his grandfather, he could at least brag about that to the other apprentices that soon he'd be better than magpiestar in a fight. brag to them so they'd shut their mouths about this being a great opportunity for him. that idea couldn't possibly backfire even if he did get some good hits in. "ready?"

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.
