Marblehop's Links
“If anyone’s got PeakClan’s best interests at heart, it’s Frozenru-, sorry, FrozenSTAR. Stars, that’s a sick name! You’ll do amazing my friend. I promise that you will. Just…take care of Fortuneflutter and Lichenkit for me. I’m so proud of you.”
"This should be you, my friend. I feel like such an imposter, sleeping in your nest and your den each night. The Clan looks to me now, and I feel like nothing more than a fraud. I miss you so much, Marblehop, I hope that you are at peace in StarClan... don't worry, I will watch over Fortuneflutter and Lichenkit for you."
“I left her too soon. I’d known her my whole life, and yet it still didn’t seem like enough time. She was true to her name, a beacon of light in the dark, a glimmer of hope, a cat I was lucky to even know. And to have the honor of being the one she loved… I consider it a true miracle. I’m sorry my love. I left our family too soon. I love you more than I can even say. And our son…he’s just beautiful. You’re both a blessing.
"My love... I miss you more than words can describe. I promise to raise your kit with the same love and kindness that you showed to me each and every day. I will see you soon, dear."
Falconfang? Oh man..at first, we couldn’t STAND each other, but now? Now I see Falconfang like my own mother. She’s always given me such great advice. She trained me very…very hard, but I think in the end it was worth it. I don’t think I’ve ever looked up to a cat like I have her.
Ah, Marblehop. Let me tell you that tom was a nuisance of a kit and somehow even worse as an apprentice!..at least at first. I can proudly say he’s grown up to be one of my finest apprentices. Words can’t describe how proud I am of him. Now his jokes..those I am not as proud of. They’re plain awful.
“Sugarnose is a good cat. I was good friends with her parents. My last promise to Littlebrook was to look out for her, and I plan to keep that promise.”
“I wasn’t very close with Littlebrook for a while, but we grew close when Little had a litter. Haha, say that five times fast! Unfortunately, Littlebrook died in the earthquake that made us abandon our old home. I miss her a lot. I swore I’d try my best to protect her daughter Sugarnose.”
“Okay okay, I know the bobcats were involved in the war, but watching them grow up…they were SO CUTE! Why are you looking at me like that? Seriously, Holly was my little buddy. Well, not so little. I felt so bad for the kid, it was clear she didn’t want to be a killer. I hope she forgives herself for the things she’s done one day.. or at least learns to live with it. I consider her my friend, she always has a place in PeakClan as far as I’m concerned.
“Oh, goodness, Marblehop. Where do I even begin? I feel like I can’t begin to describe how thankful I am for him in my life. Even though I took his tail, he wasn’t even upset with me- and I was upset with myself! He’s a great friend and an even better leader.”
“Oh hey, Sludgepaw! I really appreciate the guy, he’s been a real help for me. It’s been nice to count on him for input on things, I trust him a lot. Now that I think about it, maybe I should catch him something next time I go hunting.”
" Marblehop is cool, I have some serious respect for him. I'm glad we're friends and I'm able to bring some different light to some situations for him. "
“Verglasfang was an apprentice that taught me a lot about mentoring. They seemed like they had a lot going on, and I just wanted to be that safe space for them to express themself. I’m very happy with the warrior they’ve become, though I’m saddened by the things they’ve gone through. I still intend to be a listening ear and a shoulder to lean on if they ever need it…they’ve seen a lot.”
"I look up to Marblehop... His guidance and patience through my apprenticeship was what I needed most at the time - even if I didn't know it then... After my family was *murdered*, I was in a dark place... I still am. But having Marblehop here with me at every step of the way has definitely helped."
“Oh, Gilaslink..I thought Verglasfang was going to be the sassiest apprentice I ever had. Boy did he prove me wrong! *chuckle*
Yeah… Gilaslink was an amazing apprentice, and I’m honored to have trained him. I just wish I could apologize to him. I regret leading him to that battle that day. I hope he’d have forgiven me for it. I’m so proud of him.”
“Muskoxbrawl is a young cat with a ton of potential. I want to get to know him better; I wonder how he’ll grow more in the future. I’m always glad to hang out with him.”
I'm feeling pretty bad right now, do you think we can talk under the stars?
“Elkstomp was awesome, no doubt about it. I’m sad he’s not hear with us, but I’d like to think he’d enjoy this new home we found. I miss ya, buddy.”
“I’m glad to see he’s doing well! If only I could’ve lived long enough to see him become leader, but maybe I can sneak a quick visit when he gets his lives!”
“I’m glad Geckobounce came to PeakClan for help when the loners came. I don’t know much about her, but perhaps I should get to know her while she heals in PeakClan.”
“Lichenpatch. Raising Lichenpatch was one of the best experiences of my life, and I’ll never not be proud of having him as my adopted son. Even if I can’t say I love him to his face anymore, I still go to his grave and leave him flowers, just to say it one more time. I miss him every day.”
“Brackenthorn and I never really got along, even when I was young. I respect his loyalty to PeakClan and he’s no doubt a great warrior but..his attitude and the way he says things can be really, uh, grating. Yeah, that’s the world I’ll use.”
"Pah! Marblehop is naive. The other leaders are going to run him in circles, unless he wisens up fast. He's better than the 'leader' who came before him, but that's hardly difficult."
“I truly respect Palesnow. He’s unfortunately seen me at my very worst moments, but he’s supported me even through those. He seems like an honest cat. I feel safe with him in PeakClan.”
"Marblehop... he will be a fine leader once he has gotten some seasons of experience, StarClan knows. He's had to go through a terrible amount of hardship, but I believe he's come out stronger each time. I will be honoured to follow his leadership."
“I think Royalstar is a strong leader for MeadowClan. As far as friendship..I can’t say we’ve spoken enough in a non-business setting for us to be on super ‘friendly’ terms, but she has a ton of respect from me, no doubts. I’d like to get to know her more one day, though I wonder when that would happen…”
“SMOKEY! Smokestorm was my first apprentice, but honestly she’s become less of a former apprentice to me and more like my sister. She’s one of the cats I trust the very most in this world, and I’m glad she’s beside me as my deputy. Though I won’t lie to you, I miss the more carefree days when it was me and Smokepaw running through the territory goofing off and training. Yeah, Smokestorm’s amazing.”
“Midnightstalk’s been through a lot. I sometimes wonder why she chose me in her place for leading PeakClan. I mean, out of every cat, even Bugfreckle, why me? It was a huge shock. But, also an honor. I hope she can relax and find peace in her life. Goodness knows she deserves it.”
" Marblehops a good tom all around. I know my father and him were friends- hah, if I'm not mistaken, everyone loves the guy. He's duty driven, yet finds a way to socialize with all of his clanmates in between all those responsibilities. He reminds me of my father...that's why I chose him to be leader. Perhaps it wouldn't have been Ryestars top pick but I have no regrets. I know Peakclan is in good paws with him. If I weren't so...reserved? I'd love to get to know him more. Maybe one day we can become friends. "
“Oh man, Lunartuft was my IDOL growing up. I thought he was the absolute coolest- I still do! A cool warrior, a cool dad, just cool!! I think when I make decisions, I sometimes still think through the lens of ‘What would Lunartuft have done?’ And uh, between you and me, he’s also the inspiration for me grooming my muzzle the way I do now. *chuckle* Yeah, I wish he was still around, but I’m glad I got to know him to begin with.”
" Ah, Marblehop. Hah, he's a great kid. And an even greater leader. He reminds me of myself in a way...how I would have wanted to lead Peakclan if I had became leader. I'm glad my clanmates are under his rule and to have called him my friend is an honor. I'll be honest, I'm rather excited for him to get his lives...perhaps I'll be able to give one to him. I pray his days in leadership treat him well. "
“Indigoheart’s a cat I’ve looked up to since I was a literal kit! He got me out of so much trouble with Falconfang… He’s still just as cool a guy as he was when I was little. I’m happy he’s around.”
"Marblehop you say..? Yes yes, he is the kindest most lovable youngster I have yet to meet. I have never been more proud to call him my friend, and leader."
