Tribe of the Shining Sun

In a large sandy hollow, where, when it's shining, the sun is hottest on the land, there lives a small group of cats. I am the current leader and healer, Sun that Shines on Tribe, of the Tribe of the Shining Sun. You may call me Sunshine. My old Hollow Guard name was Rockpool near the Hollow, or Rockpool. Now, you may enjoy basking in the sunlight while the Tribe goes about its work.

This tribe is owned by Destiny Calling.

Brief Information
The cats of this tribe normally have sandy coloured, ginger, brown or light brown coloured pelts, but they really can have any coloured pelt.

They live in a sandy hollow surrounded by trees. When the sun is up, the hollow is the hottest in the forest. The tribe cats sleep outside unless it's raining or too windy. When it is raining or windy, the cats will sleep in either the abandoned fox/badger/rabbit dens or in hollowed out/fallen trees.

Tribe Roleplay
Current events being roleplayed:
 * The growing loss of water

Normal Tribe roleplay
The hot sun beat down on the clearing, and the resting elders were quite content, especially after their meal. Fox wandered out of the to-be den, still feeling the haze of sleep clouding her mind. However she shook it off and went to search for her mentor. Snowflakes are  frozen Angel tears.  02:55, December 28, 2012 (UTC)

Sunshine looked over her tribe, pleased to see things were running smoothly. She padded over to the fresh kill pile and picked up a thrush, before going back over to her den to feed before she sent out patrols.

(Short posts for now so I can get back in the swing of things).

The Growing Loss of Water
(First post. BC)

"Fox, I want you to go out with your mother to try and get water from the Bubbling River. The elders are thirsty." Fox's tail twitched and she muttered, "And what, the rest of the tribe isn't?" Then, she realised what Cloud was telling her.

"Wait," she mewed, stopping on her way to the moss ditch just above the hollow. She turned back to the Hollow-Guard and asked, "Has the river near the Gnarled Tree dried up already?" Cloud nodded, sadly.

"I'm afraid so." Mew Mew Ichigo I'm here to protect the Earth ~nya!  23:16, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Star padded out of the nursery in surprise. "The river near the Gnarled Tree has dried up?" she meowed. Crack approached her. "It appears so," she meowed, tail twitching in fear. ♥Phoenix feather!♥  23:19, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Fox sighed.

"I knew it was going to happen at some point, but I didn't expect it so soon," she murmured. Cloud swished her tail, making a score in the sand.

"Nobody thought it would happen so soon," she purred softly, trying to comfort the to-be. Fox looked up, and asked, "But why the Bubbling River? Aren't there nearer rivers? Rivers in crevices? Something? Anything?" Cloud shook her head.

"It's the only one left." Fox curled her lips in a snarl.

"Has everyone forgotten about Rock and what happened to him?" Cloud stiffened, then hissed silently, "Nobody has forgotten what happened to Rock. But the Bubbling River is-"

"Too dangerous! If a cat gets sucked in, then they will die!" Mew Mew Ichigo I'm here to protect the Earth ~nya!  23:44, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Star sighed. "I wish we didn't have to suffer. I wonder if we'll survive," she murmured. ♥Phoenix feather!♥  00:36, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

(BC. Forgot to put that in in my last post ^_^;)

"We will, Star." The queen turned to a nearby, abandoned fox den as a sandy she-cat stepped out of it.

"Sunshine! You heard?" The other cats in the hollow turned at Star's outburst. Fox flattened her ears to her head in embarressment. Sunshine nodded.

"Yes, I heard. And Fox," she started sternly, turning to the ginger to-be, "while the Bubbling River is dangerous, the Tribe needs it's water. If you fetch the water near the clan of the Hydric, then the water should be at its calmest. Just avoid going over their border." Fox nodded gingerly, as she backed away from the leader and towards the prey-hunters' area of the hollow. Mew Mew Ichigo I'm here to protect the Earth ~nya!  00:44, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Snake padded out, her eyes glinting with fear for her Clan. "HydricClan is a calm Clan, though I do not advise irritating them," she meowed. ♥Phoenix feather!♥  00:53, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Grey padded out of the old, moss and bracken covered tree after her, and wrapped his grey tail over his dark brown tabby paws.

"I remember when I was a young prey-hunter. One time, when I was hunting near their border, I slipped into the Bubbling River. I thought I was a goner, unitl one of them Hydrics saved me. Let me go with the two," he asked Sunlearner. Sunlearner's tail twitched as she thought. Then, she nodded.

"very well then. However, if you get too tired, then you must stop. No exceptions." Mew Mew Ichigo I'm here to protect the Earth ~nya!  00:58, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Snake sighed. "If anyone needs me, I'll be asleep," she meowed, padding back to her nest. ♥Phoenix feather!♥  01:04, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sunlearner sighed as she stared blankly at the small, almost completely dried up river. "What will happen to my tribe?" she murmured. The New Prophecies: The Next Generation of Powers 19:36, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

(Could someone please add in a tom so Star can give birth soon?)

Crack saw Sunlearner and wished she could help. Even if it meant giving her life. ♥Phoenix feather!♥  23:19, February 15, 2011 (UTC)

Sunlearner closed her eyes in a silent prayer, and then began to actually sing. ''"The river's dry, the sun's so high. My tribe. The shining sun of the tribe. Listen to the whispers that surround us now. Listen to the whispers of the ancient ones. They beckon us to join them, in their starlit sleep." ''she sang quietly, and bowed her head, hoping no one heard her. Dawn Before Dusk  12:37, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
