Welcome to Clans of the Amazon, an RPG based off the wonderful book series written by Erin Hunter known as Warriors. Here, there are four clans who live in a different kind of forest: the rainforest. Humans have gone extinct now, but they previously destroyed this beautiful ecosystem for their own selfish greed. Patches of the rainforest were left, and the clans formed in and around these patches. They emerged as Great Jungle Clan of the rainforest, Great River Clan of the Amazon, Great Air Clan of the meadow, and Great Fire Clan of the forest. They all have special qualities about them, and they all protect each other from a gang of great cats known as the Wild Cats, who have been and still are trying to kill off the great clans. Can you join the rainforest?

Tigertail could not believe what he was hearing, seriously, this ignorant, foolish, good for nothing....thing thought that is was alright to just stroll into the clan territories, talk to them like they were dirt! No, there was no way, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore. "Where do you get off telling us we aren't supposed to be here, telling us we're inferior and telling us to leave!? We have been here for so long yet you just feel as if it's fine to just take us all out? I'd like to see you try, we are here to stay and I'm sure if we have to, we will kill you. Do I make myself clear? We have many more claws than you, we're quicker, more agile and although we may not to be able to out-power you we sure can outwit you!" he spat.
Tigertail took a deep breath before continuing. "I don't think highly of your kind at all and since you seem to think so highly of yourself I don't think I can even respect your kind. I don't respect scavenging bottom feeders like yourself." He looked around to see if any other cat was about to speak, but seeing they weren't he continued once again, "Wounded, yes I can see that. Exhausted, I could see that too, because they've been chased out of our territory and aren't in good shape. Starving, I can't believe that, with all of this rain forest around what makes your kind think they have to hunt on our territory? Hunt elsewhere and maybe you won't starve!"
Tigertail looked around once more, "I'm not finished." he spat again. "Losing the weak ones, how cruel are you? In a clan we care about each member, but you wouldn't know the feeling. The feeling of being protected, the feeling of honour, the feeling of mutual respect and the feeling of love, you're pathetic. You say you didn't come to fight, just kill, I'd like to see that! You've probably been outcast from your own kind and that is why you are out here, just wandering around." He went silent for a second, "Now I'm finished." he concluded.

Hazelstar [/font] One should choose her words as carefully as she chooses her friends.[/right] Hazelstar heard the words exchanged between the cats but let them continue to bicker and fight. She was going to see what they all had to say and how they would behave. They all had correct points and Rhapsody was right in saying that the forest had been her ancestors long before the cats had ever arrived. Yet she said nothing. Just sat there and analyzed things within her mind as she noted and marked down all the behaviour. Analyzing was her forte and she was doing it right now. Rhapsody was interesting and Hazelstar noted as much as she could on the she-cat for future reference. It could prove helpful in battle.
She was going to sit there until a fight was about to erupt but the words spoken between the cats just seemed to erupt and get even more heated yet their bodies remained in the same pose. She sighed, getting bored with what was happening and the "lack" of action. She didn't enjoy fighting but if this was going to go on for another few hours then she would rather a snake come and restrict the lives out of her! She thought of words to say but pushed them aside. She collected thoughts once more but they left her mind, leaving her mind to fill with meanings again. She shook her head and looked at all the cats before speaking.
"Tigertail, I realize she has offended the clan and said harsh words about our ancestors and land but that gives us no right to speak to her as if she is nothing." Hazelstar looked to Tigertail and then at Rhapsody, still using in her calm voice and spoke once more. "Rhapsody, leader of the Wild Cats, you have no right to come to our land and use it as huting grounds. Yes, your ancestors may have been here before us but our ancestors took this land as our own and your ancestors claimed another land. It would be in all of our best interests if you returned to the land you came from. We realize you have a warrior that is not one to be toyed with and we know that you can be quite a pawful as well but please, leave." She took a breath and continued, not yet done with this she-cat. "I, of all cats, do not enjoy fighting. But if I am pushed I will fight back and when I do fight it is best to turn tail and leave. I may not be as big as you are but Tigertail was correct when saying we will kill you. We do have more claws, we are quicker, more agile, and can easily outwit the likes of a cat like yourself. I suggest leaving now. If you start a feud with one clan you start a feud with every clan and no matter your size, you will never be able to with stand the attack of all 4 clans upon yourself. Now go. I am done wasting my intelligence on this conversation when you probably can't understand it."
Hazelstar stood up and shook herself free of the mud and water that had clung to her white and hazel body. She looked at the clan members of hers before her and twitched her tail. "All members of the Great River Clan are to leave now. Leave the jaguar alone to understand what was just spoken to her." Yet Hazelstar did not leave or get the members to leave right away either. She looked at Rhapsody, her black patch over her brown eye facing her and spoke one last time. "Anything you wish to say?"
ooc: Wow meaner than I thought it would be. Oops.

Quaserspot respected Hazelstar. It had been her who had accepted him into Great River Clan when he arrived at their border, weak and at the point of death. Dipping his head, he stepped back behind her to allow Rhapsody to speak once more.
As he sat down, still looking at the ground, he felt his paws trembling with the released tension of the moment. He had fully expected to leap straight into a battle with the powerful jaguar and, in truth, he had found his chances of living through it very low. Before he came to Great River Clan, he had nearly been killed by wildcats, so he had experienced their power first-hand. He desperately hoped that Hazelstar could divert a battle.

Rhapsody's claws dug into the ground, her patience with the younger cats running low. What a blind idiot, she thought with dying anger and almost a sense of pity. He would never see the correct way. He would forever be blind to the truth.
"You seem to have misheard me brat, so let me make it clear," she grumbled out to the one bellowing out insult and supposedly hurtful words, standing from her hunched sitting position. "I am not here to fight or kill you."
Mulling over his words for a moment, she turned to the only female clan cat there (who was supposedly their leader), she asked, "Is it so wrong for me to have such an opinion? I don't slaughter the weak, but would it be good to have strong links versus weak ones?"
Her ears flicked at the sound of the female speaking out. Her white and hazel fur casted a sickening pretty pattern. For a brief moment, Rhapsody was surprised the female, Hazelstar she remembered, told her subordinate to not think of Rhapsody like she were nothing. Her eyes narrowed, unsure as to why the leader would say such a thing. Then the rest of her speech came, long and not as nearly as threatening than the other two cats. In a way, it was refreshing, but also was repetitive. Rhapsody had heard the same things a couple times now.
Rhapsody titled her head slightly to the side, speaking in a hazy tone: "I respect your courage Hazelstar, however little that respect is. I agree that I would prefer to not fight all four clans, but I will if I must to get my point across," With a hum that turned out more like a growl in her chest, she turned her back from the cats, knowing her leader wouldn't allow her warriors attack her as she were leaving. She moved forward, her voice growing fainter as she left the area. "This scene is boring as it is. I leave you with one comment," she paused, almost to give a dramatic tension, "I will definitely consider whether I should keep you in the list of clan cats to keep alive when the time comes."
And with that, she was gone.

Hazelstar Tick tock, on the clock Hazelstar saw Quaserspot dip his head, sit, and relax slightly. She mentally thanked herself for at least stopping him from jumping into battle. She had seen him at his weakest and even though he had never told any cat what he was running from she had done enough research and studying the days following his arrival to know that wild cats were the reason. He had been threatened and chased by wild cats so now he seemed to hate them beyond belief. Yet, his clan honour made him sit there and respect this cat because that is what his leader wanted. "I am glad we saved him."
She glanced over at Tigertail but she knew he would be harder to calm and convince not to fight. He hated this female infront of him but she seemed to be proving her point. Tigertail was blind to what this female was saying, he was mishearing it. Hazelstar looked back to the she-cat known as Rhapsody and listened to her response. She heard and noted every word spoken, paying extra attention to the end of the conversation as the leader got up and left. At that point Hazelstar did not worry about Tigertail or Quaserspot going after the wild cat. You never attacked an enemy from behind.
Soon the she-cat was gone and Hazelstar was left with her clan members. She was not angry with them, they had all shared their opinions and spoke what they thought, which she encouraged. She moved infront of the two cats and sat down, facing them and looking at them closely with her brown eye and green eye. "Thank you for not fighting Rhapsody." She knew the clan members would probably not want to hear the name of the wild cat but they would because Hazelstar gave everyone respect. "Now, instead of heading back to camp we shall sit here and discuss what we learned, said, thought, felt, and what we wish to do now." She looked at the two toms and knew inside they were probably sighing but she had a right and reason to ask them to do this. "I learned what you all think and how you react around wild cats. Quaserspot. You were the calmest with words but the most tense with your body. Tigertail. You were harsh with words and tense with your body. It has shown and taught me much about the both of you." She stopped and stood up to stretch before looking at the members. "Think about what you learned here. You are free to go and do as you please now." Hazelstar was going to sit there for a bit and they could stay if they wanted.

Tigertail listened to the words that were spoken before him. He was quite mad at, well, everyone involved except Quasarspot because at least they seemed to be on the same page. He was kind of crestfallen at his leader's harsh words but he knew she spoke the truth. He really respected her and took each word she said to heart.
He watched as Rhapsody walked away, his rage fading away, slowly, but fading nonetheless. He turned to Hazelstar and listened to what she had to say. "I'll stay here with you for a bit Hazelstar," he said, breaking the silence. "I'd like to have a couple words with you anyways, alone hopefully."

Quasarspot thought back to what he had been doing before he encountered the Jaguar, and he replied to Hazelstar, "I have some freshkill I need to take back to the camp. I will take my leave." He stood and dipped his head again. Turning to go, he took a few steps, then stopped and looked back at his leader. "Also..." he added slowly, almost hesitantly, "I will do as you say and think of what I've learned. I do not know what will come of this, yet at least for now I may be able to gain something from it." Then he slipped silently out of the clearing and disappeared into the jungle.

Hazelstar Make me smile darling She nodded to Quaserspot as he left and turned her attention back to Tigertail. He wanted to speak to her alone and she was unsure why. Maybe he could offer insight into why he had reacted the way he had. Maybe he wanted to ask her something. She stood up and shook herself free of the mud that stuck to her coat before walking closer to Tigertail. She sat herself a few feet from him and sat down, curling her ringed tail around herself and gently licking it before looking back at him. Her mind was full of thoughts so she was occupied with them but she could pay attention to him as well.
"What if the wild cats decide to attack us? We do not have the ability to fight them off." The thought worried her and it repeated itself over and over again within her mind. Her heart seemed to squeeze with worry and she sighed softly before shaking her head. She didn't need to think about this at all right now. For now there were many Clan cats but surely they all must worry sooner or later as more Wild cats grouped together. She looked to Tigertail and felt a little better as she looked at the warrior's eyes.

"I know what you're thinking and you shouldn't worry about things like that. The wild cats may talk a strong game but I don't think they could actually stand up against the clans in an organized fashion," Tigertail said, looking into Hazelstar's eyes. "It just doesn't make sense for them to do it, there are more of us than them, if all the clans stood together we could easily defeat them." he finished. "What if the clans fell apart when a large crisis came..." he wondered, "Would the clans actually be able to stand together or would skirmishes keep them from getting along?"
"I realize what I said during that, situation, may not be what you expected of me but I felt that I needed to get all of that out. It just doesn't make sense to keep anything bottled in," meowed Tigertail, putting emphasis on the word anything. "It isn't good for you either. You acted quite calm through that whole thing, how did you manage to listen to that jaguar say those things and not stand up for your clan like Quasarspot and I? I'd like to know what your secret is." he said.
He really did want to know how she could keep herself so composed and not be outspoken like the rest of them. It was amazing to him that she could even look at the wild cat after that whole skirmish. More importantly he wanted to know what she thought of him, it was always good to have your leader's approval but after that scene he didn't know what she though of him.

Hazelstar listened to the words of the warrior closely and began to classify and analyze them as he spoke. She stored them for later use and collected her various thoughts for an answer to his question. "That jaguar is known as Rhapsody. It is common courtesy to call all of those, even your enemies, by their blessing. And, I did stand up for the Clan by telling Rhapsody to leave. I also noted things she spoke and did for future reference." She stood up and stretched, thinking of how to finish the question. "I have more than one secret to remaining calm. I have many. My intelligence, patience, and my longing for something I can not have if a war was to break out." Her thoughts flicked to those of kits. Kits pouncing on leaves and mice. Running about the camp and playing with every Clan member. Kits were what she wanted.
She shook her head free of the thoughts and returned to her conversation with Tigertail. "My thoughts of you are not low. I hold you in high regard, higher than you think." She let her words trail off as kits filled her brain again. She longed for kits, even just one. One to love and cherish forever, that was what she wanted. She looked at Tigertail and knew that she would have to ask him. Quasarspot was not a suitable mate because he was her Deputy and Hawkmoth was the medicine cat. That left her with an apprentice and Tigertail, the sole warrior. "Tigertail, I am approaching 50 moons and before I reach that age I would like to have the joy of kits. After thinking it over many times I have decided that you will be the best mate for me." She sat there for a moment, not believing the words had actually escaped her mouth and then she looked at him. "Would you be my mate and father my kits, Tigertail, Warrior of Great River Clan?" She asked formally, giving him the option to say no but she secretly hoped that he would want to and that she would have the joy of kits before any war broke out.
Silence touched the air around them as they sat there, her white and hazel coat gently glowing under the sun. She wondered how her kits would look. Would they be white like her and have ringed tails or would they take after their father? She hoped he would say yes because if he said no then she would have to look outside of the Clan for a mate, which was frowned upon by all. She doubted her kits would ever forgive her too so she couldn't do that. Yet, she may have to.

Tigertail sat there, too stunned to move, he even forgot to breathe. He coughed a little and then looked up at Hazelstar, his leader and the cat who had just asked him to father her kits. He couldn't be more pleasantly surprised, he had always had a longing for kits himself and he had always harboured an affectionate attitude toward Hazelstar. He just never believed anything would come of it. The truth was, he actually loved Hazelstar, she was great! Hazelstar was clam and collected in times of stress, she was always patient and so intelligent, it was an honour to be asked this question.
"You're, invitation intrigues me. I never once thought that you would ask me to father your kits. I mean, I have wanted to for so long but I was afraid since you were the leader and I was so...foolish that we wouldn't suit each other. I do actually love you Hazelstar, you have no idea just how much. It is great to hear you ask that," he sputtered. "Now the only thing I'd like to know before accepting is if we could have a future after this, I don't want to just father your kits and be on my way. I love you Hazelstar and I want to raise these kits, be with you and grow old with you, I love you. I guess what I'm trying to ask is if you genuinely love me," he finished, kind of shakily.
Thoughts were racing through his head now. "Does she actually like me? I really hope she does. I want our relationship to be based on something real and not just reproduction." As he thought he began to get more and more nervous by the second. It was taking her a while to respond and he just lowered his head. He was almost ashamed of himself for loving her, he was so foolish, his leader couldn't love him back. He just wanted to know if she did and if it was real, if what they had was a real connection, then he would be the happiest cat in the forest. He sat with his head bowed as he awaited his answer.

She smiled softly as he spoke and stood up as he looked down. She walked over to him and used her tail to raise his chin so she looked him in the eyes. "It is your foolishness that makes you adorable. I do genuinely love you and I wish to be with you even after kits are grown and warriors of their own." She gently touched his side with her nose and gave a soft purr, letting him know that her words were true. She may have always hidden it from others but there was just something about Tigertail that was unique and she was quite glad that he wanted to have kits with her. She wanted them before an war broke out. If they were apprentices or warriors before the war then they could be able to fight and help with the others. Now she was a step closer to kits as she had a mate. The kit part could wait if Tigertail wanted but Hazelstar was worried that the longer she waited, the less likely she could have any. She would leave the option to him though.
"You may decide when we have kits." She told him that, giving him the freedom to choose, and then she sat down about a foot from him, looking at his unique coat and colours. She loved him. Plain and simple.
ooc: ahh tiny post!

Tigertail's heart swelled with joy at hearing the simple words falling from Hazelstar's mouth. He felt overwhelmed with emotion. She actually loved him and she had hid it well for so long, just as he had done too, thinking nothing would ever come of it. Now he had a mate who was asking to have kits with him, but what was even more special was that his newfound mate was his leader. He felt honoured really and he couldn't wait to have kits with her. It was even better knowing that his foolish side appealed to Hazelstar, this was great, for he didn't want to change for any cat, and he knew he wouldn't have to change if he was with her.
"Well to be honest, I would like to have kits as soon as possible. I don't want to be waiting any longer to experience the joy of raising them. I know that you don't want to wait any longer than you have to either and for that reason I have made my decision, I am ready to be a father," he said proudly, while Hazelstar was staring at him.
He began to look at her in a different way, a loving way, which would surely be evident when they arrived back at camp. So many new thoughts began racing through Tigertail's mind; "I wonder how many kits we'll have, I wonder what we will name them, will they be boys or girls?" These were all beginning to take hold of his head. However, he knew that he would be happy as long as he had Hazelstar by his side, no matter what happened.

Her eyes seemed to smile as she listened to him. He wanted to have kits right now and so did she! She smiled and gently rubbed her head against his shoulder. She began to think of the names, the colours, the personalities, the genders. The thoughts of kits overwhelmed her and she loved it. She felt warm within just thinking about the kits and her new mate. They would return to the camp and everyone would know of their relationship. She felt bad for Quasarspot because she had not chosen him but she had reasons for doing so. Besides, he did not make her feel like Tigertail did. He was special and unique.
She rubbed herself against him and gently poked at him with her tail and nose. She licked his ears gently and smiled as she knew what was coming.
They then mated.
I just filled out form for kits xD

Tigertail was thrilled at the prospect of having kits with Hazelstar. What would they look like, what would they be like, that didn't really matter because he knew they would raise their kits to be great cats together, just like they were. They weren't perfect but they would try their hardest to make their kits happy.
Once it was done Tigertail sat with Hazelstar for a minute before he broke the silence. "We should get back to camp before the rest of the clan starts wondering where we are. Are you ready to reveal our newfound relationship to the rest of the clan because I know I am!" he purred. With that said he got up and walked back in the direction toward camp. He stopped a few paces ahead of Hazelstar and turned around, a look of pure love in his eyes, before continuing on his way, knowing that she was following him. Personally, he couldn't wait to be back at camp and he was wondering what the others would think. "Would Quasarspot be jealous? Would they all approve of their relationship?" It didn't matter, as long as they were together.
