Cicadastreak 🍑

      Remember, whenever you had hard times, you switched your tears with smiles. Born as a happy, comfortable tom within the Meadowclan nursery, this tom was surrounded by love and care from both his mother and his father to the point of being suffocating, but he appreciated the warmth and reciprocated it deeply. He lived his first stage of life as a curious, hyperactive tom, bouncing around the camp and poking his nose in places he shouldn't- usually the medicine den, to get a good whiff of catmint, or outside camp to try and make the guards laugh and break their stony composure. However, this nuisance soon turned into an obsessively helpful sprite when he became an apprentice. Doing whatever anyone told him, going out of his way to see the cats around him happy- he considered it a gift from StarClan themselves every time someone simply stopped and nodded in greeting. To this day he still considers it to be celestially given, even though he keeps this marvel to himself rather than spouting off with something mouse-brained like he did in his trainee days. As a warrior, he dedicates his time and energy to his Clan, who are his family, and to making sure their world becomes a better place.

    Cicadastreak has saved many lives in his time of living, whether it had to deal with a cat that was threatened by a warrior or perhaps a fox. He had always been one of the well-known warriors since this tom-cat. A few moons later a newly made apprentice who had been interested in Cicadastreak and looked up to him begged to become his apprentice. At this time Cicadastreak still did not have a pupil. Though with this young she-cat’s enthusiasm, he asked his leader for permission and though there was a little hesitation, Frostpaw had become his apprentice. Moons had gone by and though Frostpaw had so happened to go blind, Cicadastreak still believed in her and knew she’d make a warrior. Cicadastreak found himself enjoying the company of the young apprentice after some time and did in fact spent most of the day learning and describing new scents to her. One day the two had gathered forget-me-nots and though Cicadastreak felt like a fool, he helped the beautiful she-cat make a flower crown. Emotions tugging at his heart, the older and wiser tom found himself falling for a cat that was much younger then him. One dark night after the day the two cats went out and collected herbs, the young apprentice had caught a chill, and thinking it was only the cold that had shivered the apprentice, Cicadastreak slept beside her for a few nights until the small chill turned into a horrible sickness. Day’s had passed where the tom-cat helped the medicine cat gather new herbs found in the landscapes of Meadowclan and every other clan; the other clans heard about the sickness and agreed the tom could wander through their territory gathering new herbs, but only with a warrior by his side.

    Not sleeping for days and working day and night, the tom tried many treatments on the small she-cat and though she told him she knew she wasn't going to make it, he kept searching and trying harder than the time before. But with no luck on his side, one night while Cicadastreak worked beside the medicine cat as much as he could,, he had given a glance at Frozenpaw. Something had told him something was wrong, walking up to the motionless body, their Cedartrout found his apprentice dead. Unable to grasp reality, Cicadastreak grabbed some water within a small leaf. He tried to offer it to her but it simply rolled down her lips. She was gone, and there was nothing he could do about it. Now days the tom finds himself seeing her wherever he goes. And though no one knew the relationship between the two, Cedartrout thinks about her day and night. To this day, this loyal medicine cat continues to find the cure for the cold his apprentice had had, but so far no luck.
