First c;

[For Duststorm: Losttail]

Fallenowl edged closer toward the border, a figure stood on the other side. She narrowed her eyes to get a clearer view of him from afar. Flicking her ears, she noticed his similar coloring and markings to the tom in her dream. How did he visit her dreams?! She was so mind-boggled but intrigued by him. Flicking her tail side to side nervously, the petite siamese fae padded on forward. His scent wafted into her nose. A mixture of a floral field and a musky scent made her head spin a little. Windclan. She really wasn't sure if she should even be meeting him but he showed her this in her dream. He didn't speak, just showed her. She drew closer, now seeing his eyes watching her. Fallenowl's fur stood on end. "You..." She murmured with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.

Owl

(sorry this took so long ;w; )

The tom let his gaze linger to the she-cat, almost expectantly, as a coy smile found its way onto his face. Whether Losttail had truly visited her in her dreams was unknown even to himself but it was familiar. This setting almost startled him with how familiar it was. "Me?" He tilted his head, confusion evident in his voice as he approached the molly, his nose crinkling up in distaste as Thunderclan scent flooded his senses; Although, there was something strangely sweet about the smell as well.

Wildpath padded along the border, the strong wind buffeting the gray tabby she-cat. Her paws were soresore from walking on sticks and not the usual tough moorland grass. This is why I don't like trees. she thought, wincing as she stepped on a stick, which cracked under her paw. She gritted her teeth. She had extra sensitive hearing, touch, and scent. She nearly, without realizing it until the last moment, stepped across the border. But she caught herself and veered away. The WindClan molly sighed, setting eaceach paw down far in front nof her, feeling the ground before putting her weight on it. She didn't want to injurinjure herself while doing a border patrol. That'd be embarrassing. Her graceful movements made the fact that she was blind almost unnoticeable, but if someone looked closely at her eyes, or studied the way she tested each step would give it away. She yawned, tasting the air as she did.

Singeflicker trotted along the border and relaxed against a thick oak tree. The large, muscular Savannah had been traveling a lot today, from his talk in the Clearing, to his hunting expedition in the territory, then to the Shadowclan border to hopefully recruit another cat, and finally here. As he paused to regain his breath, he gazed around. No sight of Chillleap yet. He sighed desperately hoping that the tom showed up soon. He was ready to get his plans rolling, no matter how slim chance there might be that he would succeed. Although he didn't let the chances bother him. He recovered from his dash over here and stood up tall, arching his back in a stretch.

Chilleap appeared out of the underbrush near Singeflicker. As he stepped out he shook the dirt off his gray pelt, he had gotten here early and waited for Singe in the underbrush. His blue-gray orbs landed on the golden tom, he padded over quickly and bowed his head as he got closer to the larger cat. "Singeflicker." He said in a gruff, German accent. He lifted his head slowly and watched the tom, he attempted to make himself look bigger and stronger but to no avail. He was smaller then most toms but definitely faster. His lean muscles were difficult to see under his shining gray pelt but no cat should ever underestimate this tom.

Tigerblaze cast a sidelong glance at the she-cat, trying to judge whether she was likely to go into another breakdown if he divulged more information. "I was about five moons old when you all were brought to ThunderClan. I didn't understand the gravity of the situation until quite a bit later, maybe about half-way into my apprenticeship. It's not like cats treated you all any different. If that had been the case then I probably would have picked up more earlier." He lifted his head and saw the place where the trees ended and the rolling fields of grass began. "Well, here we are." He looked at Bluejay curiously. "What exactly is your plan? Are we waiting for a patrol or...?"

Singeflicker whipped around as Chillleap emerged from under the bush. His neck fur had risen slightly from the sudden noise, but he hid it by turning to face the tom directly, forcing his thick tan fur the lie flat once again. Late again. He scolded himself. "Greetings Chilleap. My gratitude goes out to you for meeting me here early." He said with a cool toned voice. "I understand that you don't exactly have much faith in our ol' leader Dapplelstar?" He asked trying to sound casual, but there was no way the question could be asked casually.

Chilleap sat and curled his long tail around his paws. He bowed his head towards the golden tom once more, his blue orbs sparked with mild anger as began to respond to Singeflicker's question. "Yes." He said coldly, "And I understand you have a way to make our Clan great again?" He tilted his head slightly and watched the tom. (Sorry for replying so late, for some reason my mobile wouldn't let me log in)

(You're fine, and my replys will be delayed somewhat this coming weekend as well)
Singeflicker nodded. "Yes, we hope so. As long as everything works out properly, then the Clan will be faced with some Change." He mewed coolly, his voice sliding out the word change. "Change is what this Clan has needed for a long time. Unfortunately Dapplestar does not realize this. That is why me and a few others are going to bring about this change." He said taking a pause before continuing. "We have already discussed this and I believe that what will be best is to side with the new leaders in Riverclan and Shadowclan. I'm sure you've noticed the absence of -star in their name?" He shot back. He didn't take Chillleap for a mouse brained cat, but wasn't sure if everyone else payed as close attention to the lives of other Clans like he did.

(So will mine, I have a college Senior Day tomorrow for most of the day)
Chillleap listened to Singeflicker silently, his ears twitching every few moments. "Yes, I did noticed. I was hoping that meant the Clans were parting away from their mouse-brained beliefs in Starclan.." He said with slight fury in his voice. Anger flashed in his eyes as he thought of his mother and father, he soon shook this off and stared at the golden tom with cold eyes. "Looks like I was right." He said with some humor.

"Yes, I overheard a conversation that the new leaders with the suffix -night were a reference to the Darkforest. No more of this fox dung Starclan stuff." He turned and looked to the trees looming in front of him and sighed. "Now we just need to talk to Bucknight. I believe he is the one who started all this Change." He added. Then drawing in a deep breath he paused once again, hoping that he had made the right choice in trusting this cat with his plans. "That's one of the things I came here to talk to you about. I would like to know if you're willing to stand by my side, and hopefully accompany me to meet with Bucknight if we get the chance."

Wingdrop gave a sad smile to the tom as to say thank you,the grey she cat then turned her attention to her brother "yeah what is your plan bluejay?" She asked, her tail flicking back and fourth. Bluejay looked at the two but before he could say anything he spotted smoke coming from windclan, his fur fluffed up "what?! Fire!" He hissed, his eyes shone with confusion and fear. "You guys stay here while I go and see if I can help, understand?!" He called as he began to sprint back to Thunderclan. Wingdrop opened her mouth as to say something but closed it and clawed at the ground "we would only get in the way." She said as she sat and waited.

Chilleap watched Singeflicker as he speaks "Of course I'll join you, it is time for change." He bowed his head to the golden tom. (Argh sorry for the short post I've been busy)

[Ivyshade]

Tigerblaze's eyes widened as he saw the smoke and before he could protest to Bluejay's orders the other tom was gone. Undecided, he was half about to run after his friend when he caught a scent of smoke from a completely different direction. He whipped around, emitting a startled yelp as he realized that the scent was coming from ThunderClan territory as well. "The forest's on fire!" he cried. "We have to get everybody out before it reaches the camp!" He was about to dart off in its direction then turned back to the she-cat. "You can either come or get to running water. (is there a lake here? 0.0) I know Bluejay said to stay here, but the fire will spread here in a matter of heartbeats." With one more backwards glance at Wingdrop Tigerblaze bounded off into the trees, ears pressed flat against his head and fear sending a rush of adrenaline through his body.

[Moonwhisker]

Moonwhisker, leading the Thunderclan patrol, dared a step forward. She snarled at him for stepping toward the border. "Back off!" she hissed. "Or I'll shred your fur!" Narrows her eyes and gives him a look that could kill. She suddenly feels like being a little sneaky and sly. She takes a step toward him slowly and gracefully. Is a mouse length away from his face and touches her tail to his. She walks around him studying his every movement, in a flirtatious way that any tom would kill for. Purrs in admiration and then grabs a vine. She walks around him one more time, daring him to look into her eyes and then she suddenly pulls the vine and he's on his back staring up at her in shock. She purrs in amusement and walks back on her side of the border. "Gotcha there, huh?" She purrs.
:hug:

[~Breadsticks~]

Moonwhisker Wait is it Moonwhisker or Whiskerfur who is training with Ebony?
Ebonypaw padded down to the border, his tail swishing the heather. The tom apprentice smirked as he remembered his training session and how excited the Thunderclan she-cat had been to learn the moves. He stopped at the border and sat, his head high.

(It's Moonwhisker)
She rolls her eyes at him and and lashes her tail as she arrives at the border. She sneers at him, "Do you think that you're super special because I was excited? Well, just remember that in the living world, I'm a warrior and you're an apprentice!" She curls her tail in amusement at her own joke, her eyes sparkle with curiosity at the young Windclan tom.:laughing:

(Sorry bout that)
Ebonypaw pulled his lips back in to a sneer, "Do you think you're super special because you're part of a prophecy? Remember, you're below me in rank in our dreams." He lashed his tail and he forced his fur to lie flat as he joked, "Now that our super friendly introduction is out of the way, you wanted to learn basic moves." The apprentice got into a crouch, wrapping his tail around one of his back legs and pulling his paws under his shoulders, "Act like you're going to one side but at the last second go the other way."The tom lunged forward but whipped around and lunged to the right, lashing out at the air. Ebonypaw landed and turned to her, "You try." He said with a small smirk.

She did the same and landed clumsily at first. Her ears hot with embarrassment, she tried again and landed gracefully. "How was that?" She smirks at him.

[~Breadsticks~]

She did the same and landed clumsily at first. Her ears hot with embarrassment, she tried again and landed gracefully. "How was that?" She smirks at him.
"Better the second time." He said bluntly, try this." Ebonypaw crouched down, wiggling his haunches, the tom shot high into the air, lashing out and kicking behind him, then he landed on his paws. The apprentice smirked and growled, "You better have been watching Fleetclaw.."

She clocks her head at him confused. "What? I thought Fleetclaw was nice..." She shook her head and crouched down and started wiggling her haunches. She shot into the air, lashed out, and kicked behind her. "How was that?"

She clocks her head at him confused. "What? I thought Fleetclaw was nice..." She shook her head and crouched down and started wiggling her haunches. She shot into the air, lashed out, and kicked behind her. "How was that?"
"Fleetclaw is alright, but he doesn't give praise unless you've earned it." He said blatantly, rolling his eyes. "The landing could have been better, and your kick was messy and the front paw swipe was done too late. Are you sure you're a warrior?"

[Moonwhisker]

"Fleetclaw is alright, but he doesn't give praise unless you've earned it." He said blatantly, rolling his eyes. "The landing could have been better, and your kick was messy and the front paw swipe was done too late. Are you sure you're a warrior?"
She purrs in humor, "Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm a warrior Mr. Grumpywhiskers!" She joked and tried it again, this time doing it exactly as he said and fixing her mistakes.

[~Breadsticks~]

She purrs in humor, "Yes, I'm pretty sure I'm a warrior Mr. Grumpywhiskers!" She joked and tried it again, this time doing it exactly as he said and fixing her mistakes.
Ebonypaw tried to stifle a laugh but couldn't manage and he burst out laughing, "Mr. Grumpwhiskers really?" He managed to purr before he continued to laugh. Once the tom had stopped laughing he gained a slight blush and said awkwardly, "Yeah that was great."

Ebonypaw tried to stifle a laugh but couldn't manage and he burst out laughing, "Mr. Grumpwhiskers really?" He managed to purr before he continued to laugh. Once the tom had stopped laughing he gained a slight blush and said awkwardly, "Yeah that was great."
She smirks, catching his blush and lies down in the grass. "I didn't want to swear in front of you!" She takes a big red flower and tucks it beside her ear in a way that it doesn't fall. She sighs and rolls in the flower patch. "Windclan is so beautiful! Thunderclan blocks its beauty with all the trees. I mean, I like being under the trees but at the same time, I just want to run free." She just lays in the flower patch. :heartbounce:

Ebonypaw smiled, "Windclan is quite nice, especially in greenleaf. I would've thought Thunderclan was beautiful as well though." He told her, giving a soft smile as he sat in the flower patch beside her. "Windclan has the occasional bush but it's nice to be free, feel the wind in your fur." The tom said, wrapping his tail around his paws.

The tom said, wrapping his tail around his paws.
"I wish I knew what that was like. To feel the wind, to see every sunset's colors, to stretch my legs. Thunderclan is the prettiest in Newleaf, there are flowers everywhere! The forest is just beautiful, every tree has flowers and flowers are blooming everywhere else." She looks at him and locked her eyes with his. She quickly looked away and thought, if only I were in Windclan, things would be much easier. :heartbounce:

Ebonypaw smiled, "Someday you could know." He said, hopefulness flashing though his amber orbs. The tom watched as she looked away and glanced down at his paws, but turned his gaze back to her, giving a content sigh, "I bet it is.." If only I was in Thunderclan.. He thought, his expression not giving away his thoughts. :heartbounce:

She looked back at him through glowing yellow eyes and she brought up the courage to say, "Would you like to meet me here, at the border, some time?" She shook with fear that he might say no. "I know that it's against the warrior code but, I love you Ebonypaw, and all I want is you! I'm afraid to say it but, you've stolen my heart!" :heartbounce:

She was thankful he said yes and she realized that she had completely forgotten about the flower tucked beside her ear. She grabbed a few flowers and made a flower crown of them and put it on his head and giggled. "Do you like it your majesty?" Her flower fell while she was laughing and she picked it up and tucked it beside her ear again, this time making sure that it won't fall out. "I'm gonna wear this flower everywhere I go as a reminder of this day!" :heartbounce:

Ebonypaw smiled, "Of course, I'll wear the flower crown as much as I can but Singenight won't let me train with it on so I'll hide it." He purred, his eyes bright, "Our clans will miss us but we will meet again very soon." The tom purred, brushing his muzzle against her's before he turned and trotted away, waving his tail in a goodbye before he vanished over to hills.

She smiled and trotted back into the trees and caught a mouse, squirrel, and vole as an excuse for being out. She settled in her nest to sleep and found herself in the dark forest.

Ebonypaw padded down to the border, his tail lashing behind him. The young tom stopped at the border and sat, watching the trees quietly.
She sees a scratch from the dark forest and concern lights up like a fire in her eyes. "I'm really sorry I got her mad! I feel bad for not just keeping quiet." She looked away as she said, her ears are back, she felt so bad that she couldn't even look at him as she said it. :(

"She and I were going to spar anyway so it wasn't your fault." He told her, licking her cheek.

[Moonwhisker]

"She and I were going to spar anyway so it wasn't your fault." He told her, licking her cheek.
"Ok..." She meowed and looked up into his eyes. She sits down and leans against him. She breathes in his sweet smell and she feels her heart race at being this close to him. :heartbounce:

She forced herself to calm down and to make her fur lie flat again. She ducked her head under his chin and pressed her cheek against his chest. She could hear his heart beating and interestingly, it felt soothing to hear it. She loved the sound of his heart, it was like thunder, where as her heart sounded very quick and small. She purred and sat there, her head against his chest, for awhile.

Ebonypaw smiled, resting his muzzle on her head. The sweet moment didn't last long as he shot back to his paws, hearing distant screeches. He turned to Moonwhisker and nuzzled her cheek, "Stay here alright?" The tom told her before he turned and charged away, heading for Riverclan.

She nodded and kneaded the ground while trying to wait patiently for him to return. Her ears flattened at the sound of the screeches and dug her claws into the dirt as they got louder.

She laid there waiting for him to return with her head laying on her delicate paws. She had fallen asleep while patiently awaiting his return and was dozing on the border between Windclan and Thunderclan.

Pink Orca!
The long-legged tom picked his way down to the border, his ears perked for any movement. He didn't prefer getting caught so close to the border but if it was a she-cat he'd just flirt with them anyway. He hissed softly, forcing a stray bramble branch out of his way and tumbling forward awkwardly. Ebonypaw got up and shook his pelt, hoping no cat had seen his awkward fall. With a final short stretch of land he was right at the border. The tom tucked his haunches under himself and sat, wrapping his tail around his paws and looking into the trees, trying to spot any movement.

He hissed softly, forcing a stray bramble branch out of his way and tumbling forward awkwardly. Ebonypaw got up and shook his pelt, hoping no cat had seen his awkward fall. With a final short stretch of land he was right at the border. The tom tucked his haunches under himself and sat, wrapping his tail around his paws and looking into the trees, trying to spot any movement.
A greyish-brown tabby watched as Ebonypaw neared the border. "Graceful," she snorted, hopping down from her tree. "How are you, Ebony?" Elmfrost asked, blinking her green optics at him.

The tom glanced over at Elmfrost and growled, "You try it." His tone melted away and he flicked an ear again, "I'm alright, I think.." The last part he said jokingly, "How are you Elm?" His gaze flicked over the she-cat swiftly and he began to groom his ruffled chest fur, keeping an eye on his friend.

"Pretty well." She walked the rest of the way to the border. "What are you doing here?" she asked cynically, tilting her head.

Ebonypaw purred jokingly, "I could ask you the same thing." The tom got to his paws and stretched, "There's nothing to do in camp so I was hoping I'd see if anyone was around." He emphasized the word 'anyone' to try and show her he didn't truly care who he ran into at the border.

She opened her mouth to retort his rudeness but thought better of it, instead saying, "Well, I'm hunting."

"Ah, fun." His rude tone carried into the words and he flicked his tail lazily as he groomed his chest fur again, finding that he didn't want to look at her for a reason he couldn't place. His gaze traveled over her and around her, searching for any prey but he didn't see any.

"Yeah, well, don't act so happy to see me," she said sarcastically, glaring at him but otherwise maintaining a lack of visible temper. She flicked her right ear back and sat down, wrapping her tail over her paws, not taking her forest green eyes off him the whole time.

"Am I too fun for you?" Ebonypaw asked jokingly, his tone lighter than before. He flicked an ear and purred, "So, are you just as bored as I am?" The tom asked, giving her a small, genuine smile.

"Pretty much." Her attitude had clearly brightened when his did. "Hey,are WindClanners really faster than all other cats, or do they always trip over bushes?" she teased, smiling halfway.

Ivypaws black and white fur blended in well with her surroundings, considering it was bright. She raised her hanks and slowly walked to a hollow part of a tree. She pounced inside. She saw a mouse, she killed it in a swift blow to the neck giving it a painless death.

[mapledash]

Mapledash absently walked towards the windclan border, trying to forget what his apprentice said. --How did they even know? Did I reveal my feelings at some point? When did I get so emotional? Damm it.-- he cursed under his breath at his incompetence. The only thing that he had in mind right now was Sagewhisker. He was suposed to meet her here on the border before the gathering took place. --Let's just hope they'll be there...-- he prayed. His paws had quickly led him to the designed rendezvous point, and before he could think, he hid in a nearby tree, climbing by clawing at the bark with anger and determination tangled up. It definitely exhausted him faster, but he had to get it out of his muscles before it clustered into an emotional bomb.

He arrived at the second lowest branch, well hidden by some others and a bunch of leaves. The snow had fallen when he climbed up, and the branch hid his ginger pelt. He sat on the branch and waited for sagewhisker to come to the said meeting point. "Wonder if she'll even remember we were suposed to meet. I bet she is way too busy in windclan right now. Maybe Jaypaw was right, I think I'm the only one having troubles, but what could she be going through? Ughhh.." he grunted, giving the branch a swipe. --I did get too emotional, didn't I?-- he realised, laying his head on his front paws. He wondered how mad his former mentor would be if he discovered mapledash became one of those emotional freaks crying over anything. He started getting lost in his thoughts again, hunted by his past mentor once more. At least with the gathering occuring, he wouldn't have to watch for any cats from the other clans, or his own, sneaking up and spying on him.

Sagewhisker silently padded through the heather. Why am I even doing this? It's not like I fee something for Mapledash...well...not anymore. She sighed and continued her trek to the ThunderClan and WindClan border. Am I being disloyal to my clan....to Blazingstorm?.....No...Blazingstorm chose to be without me.... A sudden pang of sadness hit the amber tortoiseshell. But I was the one who first rejected him. Why did I do that? I love him so much...and now I can never be with him... Sagewhisker shook her pelt and triewd to forget about Blazingstorm. The molly entered ThunderClan territory and stopped to check for Mapledash's scent. She quickly picked it up and followed it. "Mapledash?" Sagewhisker whispered.

"Mapledash?" Sagewhisker whispered.

Mapledash's ear flicked at the sound of his name, the familiar voice of Sagewhisker lifted his heart. He stood up and looked down from his branch. --She came ... awesome-- he thought, scrambling down of his tree. "I'm up here." he called before making his way down, scrapping the bark and landing softly in the snow below. He turned in her direction, padding a few fox-lenght further before stopping right in front of her, looking straight into her eyes. Her bright amber orbs always shining, the moon bright above them making her orange flecks concealed compared to the rest of her black coat, and he couldn't help but staring into her like an enigma. All he lived with this she-cat, a few days ago, almost a moon, she hadn't changed at all. He wondered if he should at least speak up his mind for once, but maybe starting up with that would probably confuse the she more than anything. He went with something more casual and polite. "How's it going?" he asked, starting up conversation, his wide smile never leaving his maw since the moment she arrived and called his name.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Blazingstar padded silently at first along the border of Thunderclan. His golden hues were troubled, however he would only express his thoughts to Galespring, whom he'd invited on the patrol with. It was just them two, but that's all he needed at that moment. He had learned something from Emberdust about Sagewhisker, but refused to believe it, and on top of that, he had to discuss Galeslip with his closest friend. I wish she could just be deputy, but I can't do that. It'd be unfair, he sighed to himself inwardly. He couldn't put that sort of strain on Galespring, besides, he wasn't sure she'd even trained an apprentice yet, it was best he assigned an older warrior to be his deputy. Someone he can rely on to help him lead. The ginger leader took a deep breath before looking over at Galespring. "I have to discuss something with you," he spoke evenly. His playful spirit wasn't exactly all there as he's gaze met hers for a moment, before he looked away and paused in his tracks to remark the border. After all, they may be discussing important issues, but it was still a border patrol and they had to continue on what they would normally do as such. Being leader now, Blazingstar felt even better remarking the borders with his own scent. Perhaps the other clans would catch on? He had returned with Surgestorm a few hours ago and already, his life had been turned upside down. He was sleeping on his own in his new den -- he napped when he returned -- and clan duties were all pressed on him. It was sunset, but Blazingstar didn't feel the least bit tired. He needed to assign a deputy that night and do apprentice/warrior ceremonies. It was a lot to do in such a short amount of time.
Assuming this goes until the 12th xD

Galespring didn't seem to be as stressed out as Blazingstar was- in fact, it was almost like the tables had turned for the two of them. She was beginning to relax more, and her friend's leadership duties were piling up- he'd been thrown into the role of Windclan's leader too quickly, with Dapplestar dying right after he'd become deputy. Padding besides the tom, she hadn't questioned him wanting to be on patrol with her- they were friends, after all. However, as the raven-colored she-cat heard the new leader say he needed to talk with her, she was taken aback by the severity of his voice. "Is being a leader stressful? If that's the case, you've got to take it easy- Blazing, don't overwork yourself." She tried to comfort him, her eyes softening as she could see that he had a lot to do. "If you ever need any help, I'm here for you, y'know? That's what friends are for." She smiled awkwardly, paws still moving as she walked along the border- Thunderclan. They were really the only clan that she felt as if she could trust- Skyclan were new, and they'd proved themselves formidable during the liberations, Riverclan was a place she'd harbored her own small grudge against, albeit it being personal, and Shadowclan... something just seemed off about that place, really. "And if that wasn't the case, by some otherworldly means... I'm still here for you."

[SuspiciousMindz]

Blazingstar looked towards Galespring as she spoke. Was she really the only one who was concerned for him? Despite all his friends? No. Surely others feel concerned as well. The ginger warrior continued to pad along once the marker had been reset. As he listened, he merely gave her a small shake of his head, although blinked gratefully towards her. "No, no, the clan needs me to step up now, I'll take it easy once I'm settled," he replied. Blazingstar took another deep breath, he couldn't hesitate this time or their conversation will continue on about his leadership. "Sagewhisker's expecting kits," the leader blurted out, turning away from Galespring and stopping on the border. He was merely remarking again, however, he was looking across into Thunderclan territory, feeling almost unable to walk away. Were things so complicated in Thunderclan as well? None of the clans have heard of Ashstar, for all the new leader knew, only Dapplestar had disappeared. "I saw Galeslip," he suddenly spoke as well. Blazingstar had thrown a world of information onto Galespring before he turned around to face his friend. Suddenly the stress seemed to show on his face. His golden hues were clouded and his tail was swishing in constant thought and even his shoulders seemed to slouch a little.

"...Alright- just think about yourself, too! I'm sure that the entire clan doesn't want to see you unhappy." Galespring remarked as she continued to walk, stopping to lay her tail on his shoulder in a friendly moment of comfort. "Oh! You two are friends, right? New kits are always good for the clan. I bet they're Assetclaw's- haven't you seen them lately, getting all close and everything?" She chattered on, talking and talking until he heard her friend mention somebody whose name she'd never forget- not in a million years. "...You saw her- what did she say?" The molly's eyes widened, and suddenly she'd become even more interested than before. That's... that's my best friend- why did she talk to him? Though she did not that the gray tabby could be a bit snarky, she was sure that being in Starclan might've made her a little more polite- not that she ever minded her friend's informality. It made her feel comfortable, safe- as if the entire clan hadn't been burning around them just a few moons ago. She'd noticed that Blazingstar looked even more weary than before, but decided to hold off on commenting about it- there was too much going on at one time, and she didn't want to have to overwhelm him with any more of her usual questions. All she wanted was for him, for all her friends- just to be happy, and to escape the fates of so many others before them during the dark era. She'd never let that happen again.

[SuspiciousMindz]

Blazingstar let out a small sigh. Galespring didn't get the hint he was throwing at her so instead, he turned to being fairly blunt. His words coming out quickly and with so much stress at the thought of the newer responsibilities. "Emberdust told me that Sagewhisker claims they're mine," he spoke. His tone suddenly becoming bitter. "It's a ridiculous accusation! How dare she pin that sort of thing on me!" he growled lowly, turning his gaze towards the territories, his paws beginning to walk the edge of the border again. "Assetclaw and she will be just fine without that sort of drama," he spoke darkly. Blazingstar was suddenly aware that the she-cat moved on fairly quickly if she were already expecting kits. Assetclaw would be a better father than he would, that's for sure. The ginger tabby continued to walk, thinking about what to say next as the words sank in about Sagewhisker. "Galeslip gave me a life. Although she told me something about breaking the code, do you know anything about it?" He asked. Suddenly this conversation turned into something Blazingstar only understood. Where did Galespring's loyalty really lie? Did she favor friends over the code or chose the code over her friends? If she knew, why hadn't Dapplestar been warned?

"...I didn't know about it early enough- I wasn't there to stop her. When I learned, it was only a matter of time- and I was too afraid to tell him, not after what he'd done to that other cat who'd broken the code when he first took over." Galespring mumbled as he brought up her best friend and how she'd broken the code- surely that wasn't an appropriate topic to bring up while giving a life, but her friend had never exactly said the right things at the right time. She was stubborn and confrontational, but somehow she could almost put a smile on every face she talked to. It was quite obvious that by 'him', she'd meant Singenight- damn, she hated that cat. "I saw them meet one day, and I couldn't risk her life- it's not as if keeping it a secret kept her safe for any longer, though." She sighed, her tail flicking behind her as she tried to work her around all the different things he was saying. "...What?" She suddenly piped up in awe as he talked of what Sagewhisker was accusing him of, shaking her head. "That rumor will be put to rest once her kits are born- they'll look like Assetclaw, I promise." She asserted, huffing with almost a hint of jealousy. "Besides, why would she pull this out of the blue? I know she's a good warrior- were you two... involved in any way? Romantically?" She interrogated, hungry for information on why the molly would try and do this.

Blazingstar blinked as he listened. He could understand, he wouldn't want any of his friends to suffer the wraith of the evil leaders. He hadn't realized Dapplestar wasn't in charge while it was happening and silently shook his head. The leader wouldn't press about her friend as he understood grief just as well as she did. Whisking his tail around, he slowed the pace down a bit and continued on, although his mind was whirling with thoughts. Blazingstar let out a sigh and before long, Galespring was pushing questions onto himself. Blazingstar wasn't sure how to answer the question. Had they been romantic? Surely not... but that was a lot of time he'd have to review to figure out himself, so he simply shrugged his shoulders, passing a solemn look towards Galespring. "Sagewhisker and Assetclaw will be just fine when they're born. I'll have lived knowing she found someone who made her happy from the beginning," he replied, taking a deep breath and lifting his head higher than it was. "Anyways..." he trailed, leaving the topic open for her to pick what to say next.

"Hey, you didn't answer my question, y'know!" Galespring teased, smiling awkwardly as she walked next to Blazingstar. Of course they weren't his kits- she'd barely seen him talk to Sagewhisker, and was completely unaware of their history together. It could be a ploy to gain power- telling others that their father is the leader, so they can gain a leg up over everybody else? Of course, the molly just pushed those thoughts aside, knowing that she had the ability to over-complicate things anyways. Focus on the task on hand- you're on a patrol."Anyways... how's stuff been going with your family lately? After hearing all of this sibling talk with you and Ferretkit, I'm a bit curious myself to hear about them." She didn't seem to be close to any of his family members, and getting to hear about family drama would be a new experience for her, really. Sure, having a small family had it's advantages- with only a deadbeat dad who she didn't care too much for anyways, she didn't have to go through long periods of mourning- because nobody in her family would pass away.

Blazingstar gave her a teasing wink towards her complaint. He was beginning to lighten up a bit again, even his strides were more confident and long. "Oh you know... they're all crazy," he spoke playfully. "Emberdust especially. She's trying to set up she-cats for me," he spoke, rolling his golden hues and continuing to walk. He was mentally deciding where to set the next marker as they continued along the border. "She obsessed with finding me someone," he commented, a hint of worry in his voice. "Perhaps a little more than that even though she herself won't find a love life," he mewed. Blazingstar's voice trailed towards the end of that as his thoughts took over, though he shook his head and blinked, stopping in his tracks suddenly. The ginger tom-cat had found the spot he wanted mark and did as he normally would before continuing their patrol. Honestly, the leader wasn't sure what Galespring wanted to hear about his family, he merely spoke about his closest sibling.

"Well, I wish her good luck with that- it sounds like that’d be quite a hard task, considering… well, how you’re you, I suppose. Being a leader and now a possible suitor sounds like such a hard task.” Galespring chuckled, her eyes glinting with amusement as she talked. “If she’s as obsessive as you say she is, maybe she needs you to set her up with somebody for herself, hmm?” The molly exclaimed, her tail flicking from side-to side as she walked. She was happy just being here with her friend, and hearing about somebody else's family was a nice fresh breath of air. Growing up without a big family had made her hungry for hearing about everyone else's, happy to hear about how their siblings were, and how their parents were doing. She knew that she wouldn't be able to change her own family, and so it was enough to her to hear about how everyone else's was- she was happy for them, surely. Gale could be jealous at times, but it wasn't when family was involved, no- it was for... different things, which she'd kept a secret for awhile and didn't plan on revealing anytime soon.

Being a leader and now a possible suitor sounds like such a hard task.” Galespring chuckled, her eyes glinting with amusement as she talked. “If she’s as obsessive as you say she is, maybe she needs you to set her up with somebody for herself, hmm?” The molly exclaimed, her tail flicking from side-to side as she walked. She was happy just being here with her friend, and hearing about somebody else's family was a nice fresh breath of air. Growing up without a big family had made her hungry for hearing about everyone else's, happy to hear about how their siblings were, and how their parents were doing. She knew that she wouldn't be able to change her own family, and so it was enough to her to hear about how everyone else's was- she was happy for them, surely. Gale could be jealous at times, but it wasn't when family was involved, no- it was for... different things, which she'd kept a secret for awhile and didn't plan on revealing anytime soon.
Blazingstar chuckled, and shook his head. His next few words were dramatic, although in a purposeful way. "She'd have my ears for breakfast if I did that!" his fore paws lifted in the air and his upper body dropped to the ground, although his lower half stayed standing. Blazingstar's funny stance was topped off with his paws over his ears like he was hiding them. "You can do that! I like my ears!" he exclaimed, a smile across his maw. The ginger leaders hues were looking up towards Galespring, watching for her reaction as he stayed where he was. His long, fluffy tail was swishing to and fro while a purr threatened to erupt from the back of his throat. Eventually the tom stood straight again and gave his chest fur a quick lick to smooth out the ruffled fur and clean off any frost or snow that happened to stick to his chest.

"Oh, relax- she's your sister. She won't do anything of the sort, I'm sure of it." Galespring assured Blazingstar, though it was quite obvious that he'd been speaking in a light-hearted tone. "She's your sister- if she's trying to do this for you so you can be happy, why not return her the favor? It's not like she's not trying to find a match for you, as you said." She grinned, a glint of happiness in her eyes as she'd smiled, flicking her tail as she walked beside her friend. "I wonder who's she going to find you, though- maybe she'll pair you up with that she-cat you fought earlier in the clearing, or probably one of her own friends- do you know any of them, now that I think about it?" She asked tilting her head slightly to the side as the warrior talked. She hadn't gotten the chance to meet friends of her father, namely because she didn't care for him- but she wondered if he knew about any cats who interacted with his sister. The two seemed to be rather close, after all, with all of this matchmaking Emberdust was trying to do.

Blazingstar gave her a long look before shaking his head. "No, she'd definitely have my ears for that," he gave a small chuckle, matching her pace as the continued to walk. He had almost forgotten this was a border patrol and not just a simple walk and talk session. His golden gaze shifted away from the ebony she-cat before looking around their surroundings. All was quiet still. Perhaps the clans were finally at peace... for a while at least. Blazingstar turned to look at her again as she continued talking. Of course they were close, however the ginger leader didn't really know who Emberdust hung around with. They didn't try to pry into each others lives often as obviously now they were two separate things. Although he knew deep down that if it came down to it, he'd do whatever he needed to protect her. "No, I don't really know who she talks to, I haven't stalked her that much," he winked towards Galespring with a small chuckled before continuing on. "She has her friends and I have mine, although if I hear about something, sure I'll step in if I need to. We kind of leave that freedom to ourselves, I just pray that she makes the right choices and keeps herself safe," he spoke. His voice seemed distant suddenly. It had just dawned on him how far away Emberdust felt. He was their leader now so he couldn't favor individuals, he had to treat everyone as a whole and insure that everyone was well cared for.

"And how was I supposed to know that?" Galespring winked, smiling as she continued to talk. "If you're gonna be a leader, that means that you need to personally learn about everyone in your clan, and that means your sister's friends, too." She laughed, sweeping her tail across the frosted grass of Windclan's moors as she walked. "Besides, I really am interested to see who she sets you up with- by the way you describe her, it doesn't seem as if she'd be somebody who is bothered by the idea of love." She huffed- if Emberdust wanted to set up her brother so badly, why did she seem so aggressive in Blazingstar's description? The molly hadn't grown up with siblings, and therefore wasn't familiar with this casual way of describing them- ripping your ears off doesn't sound like a kind thing to do, especially to somebody who's related to you.

[that moment when Gale is almost too innocent for Blazing xD]

Blazingstar gave a small huff of amusement before flicking her over the ears with his long tail before speeding up his pace in case she tried to swipe at it. He only slowed down and curled his tail over his back when he knew he was a safe distance from her paws. "I can't know everyone on a personal level, but I can try to. There's a lot of warriors and I'd feel awful mixing someone's friends or personal life up with another. Although I can see when cats are enemies. I try to avoid conflict," he replied, suddenly realizing what he was saying and thinking back to Winterwisp. For being a deputy at that time, he certainly didn't handle that situation well, however he'd gained a higher respect in the clan so if she happened to start another scene like that, Blazingstar would be more prepared this time. He'd stick to his word just to make up for what he didn't do last time. Looking back at Galespring, he blinked at her comment. "Well why don't you go talk to her and ask. She's a bright orange cat like me, but more obnoxious, I promise you won't miss her," he gave a playful chuckle wondering if Galespring would actually do it and wondering if she'd bring that up to Emberdust. He'd get a swipe over the ears for what he just said, but it was worth it to him in that moment of play. "She refuses to get her own mate, so I don't know if it bothers her or not. She says she's more concerned about my happiness, but I'm honestly fine without a mate. I don't see why she thinks I need one to find happiness," he spoke aloud. Thinking on it while he spoke.

"You're interested in avoiding conflict? Oh, how you talk about your sister now seems like you've got the perfect relationship." Galespring chuckled, flicking her tail back and forth as she walked. Her paws were beginning to get tired now, but she was too interested in her conversation to complain about it- really, she was anticipating his next reply already. "Maybe I will go talk to her- it could provide some sort of explanation for what she's been doing, though I find this quite entertaining." She had been happier than she ever had been in her entire life for the last few moons, with the dark era over and the beginning of more than one new friendships in the place of older ones which had long since ended. However, there was another cat who hadn't been very friendly towards her, somebody she suspected had some sort of a grudge against her. "Besides, I might need a couple more new friends- remember Sagewhisker, right? It doesn't seem like she likes me too much." The molly grimaced, shaking her head as she continued walking, letting out a shaky sigh. It was almost like that cat had it out for her.

Blazingstar rolled his eyes at her comment before replying in a very sarcastic manner. "Growing up with someone who'd tackle you for little reasons teaches you a lot..." he seemed to trail as he looked at her through the corner of his eyes. The word tackle brought an idea to his head and he had to do it. Going on patrol with him alone, Galespring was asking for his shenanigans. "Like..." between that word and the next few, the leader's paws pivoted and his back legs tensed quickly. "Always being prepared for anything!" as he spoke quickly, the tension in his back legs released and shot him towards Galespring.
Assuming he aimed correctly, he knocked them both into a small pile of snow, chuckling. His front paws were wrapped around her neck playfully, before he released her and shot up onto his feet and a few paces away only to spin around and face her again, his whiskers twitching. He was covered in the wet flakes, but with his thick pelt, it didn't seem to phase him.
"Sagewhisker's probably just jealous," he spoke from where he was, his tail waving in the air in delight. Despite the serious conversation taking place, Blazingstar had found a way to keep it light-hearted. "She used to be my best friend, but her rejection pushed us apart, but you're here to make it all better again!" he spoke. Sagewhisker's rejection didn't seem to bother him as much anymore. He could openly talk about it without getting upset over it or walking away from the conversation.

Closing her eyes for a second as she thought to herself about the predicament she'd gotten herself into with Sagewhisker, Galespring was suddenly knocked back into the freezing cold snow, shrieking playdully as the feeling sent a chill down the she-cat's spine. "You know, even somebody with siblings wouldn't be prepared for that!" She complained, shaking the snowflakes off of her whiskers. One paw at a time, the warrior managed to shakily pull herself up, albeit her new flustered attitude from the tackle. She wasn't used to this type of behavior, but that didn't mean she disliked it- really, it was more comforting than anything else, a reminder that she wasn't alone. She had been without somebody to confide in for so long, but now she had so many more friends, cats like Blazingstar who really cared. "You were best friends, really? It sort of seems like she can't bear to look at you."
Taking a deep breath, Galespring turn the subject of conversation back to the other molly as a look of concern washed onto her face, not understanding why he could be so happy when talking about a friend who drifted away from him. There was a lot about his happiness she didn't understand, really, but she never questioned it when his actions made her joyful in turn. "Are you sure that's all? I might be overthinking this, but is there more than what you told me to this story? ...What happened?" Galespring blurted out, her words passing by quickly as she spoke as if she couldn't keep them in any longer- it was curiosity.

Thoughts whirred through Thrushpaw's head. Was he seriously coming here to see Cherrypaw? Did his paws just take him here to hunt? He had no idea what was in the depths of his mind anymore, he just wanted to bring home prey, maybe even for the last time. Thrushpaw was now thinking through the final decision of him wanting to become a loner or not. He felt as if he wasn't clan born, wasn't meant for the harsh life of a clan cat. He felt as if being a loner would be the right choice, the choice that Starclan had laid out for him. The end of Thunderclan territory is right there.. he thought. He could run and run, across Windclan territory and hoping a patrol wouldn't catch him. He could run until there were no woods left, where there would be a countryside and a nice barn, and maybe he could simply hunt on Windclan territory if there was no prey elsewhere. He shook his head. Why was he thinking this? He sat down beneath the shade of some brambles and exhaled. He would really need to think this through.

Cherrypaw spotted her friend under a tree. She then got down and ran up behind him tackling him. "Hey apprentice that should be a warrior," she chuckled twitching her tail tip as she looked down at him. "Glad you came back," she meowed. She was trying to get her mind off of blizzardpaw and his death. (Sry short I'm on mobile)

Blazingstar was laughing as she stood back up from the snow. He shook his own pelt free of the snow before his tail shot up in the air to show his happiness. As it waved, he listened to what she had said and shook his head. "No no no, trust me, you'd be more prepared," he winked before his tail lowered back closer the ground. How come Galespring was so interested about he and Sagewhisker when that was in the past now. Not very far in the past, but enough for him to get on with his life. Was she trying to upset him? No, she isn't like that. When she started speaking about his former -- unofficial -- mate, Blazingstar's golden hues averted from the ebony she-cat as he turned his back on her and started to walk the border again. It seemed like that was all he wanted to do when Sagewhisker was brought up. Walking the moors kept him calm. "Look, nothing happened," he spoke, his voice was not as playful as it was a few moments ago and his body language changed completely. "Sometimes friends drift apart, that's just how it is. She couldn't understand that I can't put my time into unnecessary feelings so I had to leave her behind after I got my new name," he spoke. There was no bitter tone, although no happy one either. It was a neutral tone, like he didn't care what had happened the day he ran from her. "Sagewhisker is a friend of the past now, but we have memories and that's fine," he spoke, his tail swishing again in his thoughts. Blazingstar continued to walk, having no idea whether Galespring had started following him or how far behind she was since his pace was fairly quick.

Thrushpaw heard his flank thud down to the ground. The wind was knocked out of him and he gasped for air. An intruder? He looked up, his fur bristling, only finding out that it was just Cherrypaw. "Hi mouse brain." he teased as he attempted to fight is way out. "What brings you here?" he asked, completely noting that she was on his territory. His dark fur was tussled he started to lick his shoulders to smooth it. He felt a little guilty for growing a friendship with Cherrypaw. She was from Windclan and was on Thunderclan territory.

The she cat chuckled, "hello thrushpaw," she mewed as she began to groom herself. "Our came to see you," she purred looking at him. He was older and bigger. "How is your apprentice stuff going. You gonna be a warrior soon?" She asked tilting her head.

Thrushpaw relaxed at the look of joy on her face. "Actually, Cherrypaw, err.." he stalled. He didn't want to tell her yet that he wanted to become a loner. What would her reaction be. "I want to become a loner." Thrushpaw blurted. He didn't mean for that to come out, he was thinking it in his head. He automatically squinted his eyes shut, he didn't want to see her reaction. He opened his eyes again."And nothing is going well." he muttered as he gazed at her, his eyes glazed with sadness.

Rainpaw said nothing to his mentors little speech. More like a lecture... He knew very well not to go charging into battle, whether it be against a cat, badger, or some giant bird. Though he still didn't feel entirely loyal to Windclan he knew it would just be an inconvenience if he were to get injured or die. Suddenly his mind was thrown into memories. The time where he and Heartpaw were spying on the strange cats. When he was still Rainkit, with small unsheathed claws and a scowl, that he would defend his friend with his life, even if it meant getting injured which he knew would've happened against two fully grown and trained warriors. How could I have been so stupid? He wondered with twitching whiskers, though in the back of his mind he knew he'd still rush into battle for his friend.
As if Obsidansky were reading his thoughts he started to talk about the calico she-cat. Rainpaw was about to growl and tell the tom to stop talking until he actually listened. He's right. He thought with an annoyed lashing tail, You win for now. I'll talk to Heartpaw when I get back. Rainpaw's stomach tightened, he was suddenly anxious to get back to camp. Was it because of her, or maybe it was that they had arrived at the Thunderclan border and the trees made him feel boxed in? Whatever it was he wasn't going to let it scare him back to his nest. "Whatever my mother was like, I still won't turn out like her." The gray tabby decided before shaking his pelt as if he were trying to clear his thoughts. "Now, let's get to training." His yellow gaze flashed towards Obsidiansky expectantly as he was ready to start right away.

The sun was growing higher in the sky, and it wouldn't be long before it was at the warmest point of the day. Although the dark furred warrior was grateful for the colder weather, the warmest part of the day still heated his pelt. looked at his young apprentice somewhat expectantly, as though thinking he was just going to admit that he had been rude. When that didn't happen, the tom shrugged. He wasn't really sure if he had expected the young apprentice to become nicer within the time frame of the day, but he knew that eventually he would get through to the tom. The black warrior smiled as Rainpaw looked partly defeated.

He had guessed that the apprentice was thinking about his friend. After an argument like that, what cat wouldn't? At the grey cat's remark towards his mother, Obsidiansky's hues narrowed and he stopped, looking very seriously at Rainpaw. I wish he wouldn't think like that. The tom sighed, the tip of his tail twitching. He had known something like that would happen. He had guessed that Rainpaw would think his Mom had been some sort of a horrible cat. But why? He could understand the former queen's motives for doing what she had done...she hadn't been a bad cat. And yet now, Rainpaw thought so badly of her that he couldn't help but feel awful for telling the young tom his parents' backstory. That loner...Obsidiansky thought, wondering what he would have done had he met the tom.

True, he didn't really know that it had been that particular cat's fault. And he wasn't angry that Rainpaw had been born- that wouldn't be fair. He just didn't see why it had had to happen. "Very well," Obsidiansky shrugged with a flick of his tail, turning his yellow hues towards the border. "ThunderClan cats are stronger- they've got larger builds, and they don't look like they'd be able to run too fast. Don't let that fool you. They're fast and dangerous, but we're more agile and quicker." Obsidiansky glanced over at Rainpaw and took another step towards the border, stopping just before the invisible line. He wondered how he was supposed to teach this to the apprentice. A sudden idea came to him, and he flicked his tail, motioning for Rainpaw to follow him over towards a concentrated clump of trees, right on the edge of the border.

"Imagine a straight line as far as you can go either way, coming from these trees. That marks the border between ThunderClan and RiverClan. I assume you already know all about not crossing the border, but I'll tell you again; do not ever cross it." He looked at Rainpaw very seriously, before stepping back and his yellow hues gleamed a little as though thinking of some secret joke that only he knew.

"Okay. Your turn; tell me something about ThunderClan." He mewed, glancing at the apprentice almost expectantly. This was what he would do. Find out how much Rainpaw knew, then teach him everything that he didn't. It was important to know what they looked like, where the border was, what their fighting style was- though Obsidiansky could teach Rainpaw that when they were doing actual battle training. Not now. Maybe just some basics, but...for the moment being, he would stick to teaching the younger tom everything he knew about ThunderClan cats.

[Slash-GNR]

Thrushpaw relaxed at the look of joy on her face. "Actually, Cherrypaw, err.." he stalled. He didn't want to tell her yet that he wanted to become a loner. What would her reaction be. "I want to become a loner." Thrushpaw blurted. He didn't mean for that to come out, he was thinking it in his head. He automatically squinted his eyes shut, he didn't want to see her reaction. He opened his eyes again."And nothing is going well." he muttered as he gazed at her, his eyes glazed with sadness.

The she-cat now saw back and pulled her paws to her chest as he said this. She let a frown catch her maw as she stared at him. She thought about Blizzardpaw now and how he left her right after they became friends. She sunk her head back trying to fight back the sadness. "But... but you can't go!" she said through a cracking voice of emotion. "How will I see you?" she asked as the fur around her eyes knitted together to form a sad expression. "I don't wanna lose you," she muttered.

[ConfusedCas]

He looked as if he were not paying attention as his gaze drifted over each tree but his ears swiveled as his head turned so he wouldn't miss a thing Obsidiansky said. The tree's and undergrowth that littered Thunderclan territory just looked plain annoying. He couldn't imagine trying to run through the forest and having to swerve past all the obstacles. For once he truly felt closest to Windclan and that the moors were his home. Now that the sun was high above the horizon it was free to bake the cat's pelts beneath it. Some shelter from the heat would be ideal. He squinted at the brightness of the sky before returning his attention to his mentor.
His yellow hues twitched towards each tree as he let any familiar landmarks sink in so he could remember them for future use. Rainpaw never really had trouble remembering things, in fact he actually had a surprisingly strong memory. But there was no need to reflect on his skills now. So this is the border... What if a patrol see's us and gets mad? The tip of his tail twitched uneasily as he glanced around suddenly alert. He nodded when Obsidiansky gave him a serious look, once again he had drifted away from listening but he could assume that he was enforcing him not to cross the border so he nodded before turning back towards the forest. We are quicker than them. Speed can beat strength. The young tom decided with a huff as his pelt prickled with suspicion. Rainpaw forced his fur to lay flat as his mentor asked the question. He thought long and hard before mewing, "Well if they have stronger builds that would make them heavier. So maybe they're lousy jumpers?" Was all he could manage for an answer. "How am I supposed to know? I've never even seen a Thunderclan cat." He blinked up at Obsidiansky with slightly narrowed eyes-because he had been scowling so long it was starting to become his regular expression-as he waited for him to speak.

Obsidiansky watched, satisfied as his young apprentice glanced around at the border. He seemed uneasy, though for what reason the tom was unsure...it's not like ThunderClan cats are going to come out of nowhere and jump us, he thought with a sigh. That made him uncomfortable- just the thought that cats who were stronger then them coming out of literally nowhere. Out here, there were just grasses and trees...and the occasional predator, though that was one of the rarest things to spot. Animals like badgers, foxes and hawks weren't seen often but when they were, it was 'run for cover and hope your friends make it' time. To some cats, at least. Not to this young warrior. His pride and satisfaction faded to an expression of worry as Rainpaw said something about ThunderClan cats. Guess I should have started with something a bit easier. Don't blame him, he didn't know...the tom though to himself, glancing up at the sky in an attempt to calm himself.

It wasn't the younger cat's fault. In all honesty, Obsidiansky blamed himself that the apprentice would think something like that. He hated to see Rainpaw's anger come out once again, just when he had thought he might be making actual progress on the young tom...but just like that, his expression had flickered back to the scowl that had first been present when the black feline had met the younger cat. Great. The magical relationship between a mentor and his apprentice. I'm practically a believer already. he thought sarcastically, glancing over at Rainpaw with a semi-angry expression.

He was so done with the tom's attitude.

Why was Rainpaw acting this way, anyways? What had Obsidiansky done to make the younger tom so angry with him? The spite was almost too much for the black feline himself, but he managed to ignore it and licked his maw, shifting his weight as he stared at Rainpaw, finally realizing how to respond to his apprentice's failed guess. "Good guess. That's observant just by hearing, but they actually are quite good jumpers. Not as good as us, and like I said before, they aren't as agile or fast." Obsidiansky repeated, trying to get the words into the tom's mind so that he would be able to repeat them later. Once they got to the next border he would ask what Rainpaw remembered about the ThunderClan cats and hopefully, the grey feline would be able to repeat at least part of it back to him.

"Let's move on, shall we?" The tom suggested, shifting his weight as he waited for the younger cat's approval.

[Fel]

Blazingstar was laughing as she stood back up from the snow. He shook his own pelt free of the snow before his tail shot up in the air to show his happiness. As it waved, he listened to what she had said and shook his head. "No no no, trust me, you'd be more prepared," he winked before his tail lowered back closer the ground. How come Galespring was so interested about he and Sagewhisker when that was in the past now. Not very far in the past, but enough for him to get on with his life. Was she trying to upset him? No, she isn't like that. When she started speaking about his former -- unofficial -- mate, Blazingstar's golden hues averted from the ebony she-cat as he turned his back on her and started to walk the border again. It seemed like that was all he wanted to do when Sagewhisker was brought up. Walking the moors kept him calm. "Look, nothing happened," he spoke, his voice was not as playful as it was a few moments ago and his body language changed completely. "Sometimes friends drift apart, that's just how it is. She couldn't understand that I can't put my time into unnecessary feelings so I had to leave her behind after I got my new name," he spoke. There was no bitter tone, although no happy one either. It was a neutral tone, like he didn't care what had happened the day he ran from her. "Sagewhisker is a friend of the past now, but we have memories and that's fine," he spoke, his tail swishing again in his thoughts. Blazingstar continued to walk, having no idea whether Galespring had started following him or how far behind she was since his pace was fairly quick.

"...I'm talking too much, aren't I? I... shouldn't be so suspicious." Galespring stammered as he pushed away the subject- she usually never seemed embarrassed, but now she didn't exactly know what to say. Her habit of being too pushy had put her into a somewhat awkward situation- something which hadn't happened for a long time. "I get it." She mumbled- padding behind him as quickly as she can, thanks to the fact that Blazingstar was continuing to walk without her. I did something wrong, didn't I- did I strike a nerve, lose his trust? She was slowly panicking, though the molly couldn't bear to let him know that she was this worried about his body language. He doesn't normally act like this, does he? I'm sorry. She padded up to him with a burst of speed, though it didn't go well with her paws, already tired from walking so far. It felt like they were shaking as she took every single step, like they could give out at any moment. She faintly shook her head in regards to herself as she kept moving on, trying to keep up with her friend even if she found it hard. She was used to pushing through to succeed, so all she had to do now was try even harder. She focused her energy on keeping herself up, not bothering to talk. Besides- some of the most profound moments were the ones which stayed silent.

[Mistyfoot⚜]

The she-cat now saw back and pulled her paws to her chest as he said this. She let a frown catch her maw as she stared at him. She thought about Blizzardpaw now and how he left her right after they became friends. She sunk her head back trying to fight back the sadness. "But... but you can't go!" she said through a cracking voice of emotion. "How will I see you?" she asked as the fur around her eyes knitted together to form a sad expression. "I don't wanna lose you," she muttered.

Thrushpaw's face fell at Cherrypaw's words. "I'm not right to be a clan cat. It's not who I want to be.." he whispered. "I'm not doing this to sadden you, I promise." he mewed. "I will visit." he whispered. His voice was choked up and was full of sadness. His eyes were glazed and he ran up and touched noses with Cherrypaw. "I will never forget you, and you will never forget me. Promise?" he asked with sorrow in his voice. He had a small hope of her coming with him, but he shook it off.

[SuspiciousMindz]

fenic!
Blazingstar let out a small sigh, not bothering to answer her question as they continued on. It felt like forever as the walked and walked until finally Blazingstar's paws started to ache. Thankfully this was the end of the Windclan and Thunderclan border. Turning towards Galespring finally, he took a deep breath and forced light into his golden hues. "Shall we go back now? It doesn't appear that anything exciting it happening on the border today, besides," he paws, lifting his paws up individually, "My paws are going to drop off at any moment," he replied, amusement finally entering his voice as he waited for Galespring to reply. By now he could assume she felt the same way. Sure, they were used to running distances, but patrolling a border was a different story. It was tiring and sometimes not worth it, as it wore them out and made them weak.
[short, didn't know where to go with that xD]



Trashy Sky
Thrushflight trotted confidently now. He knew no one was out on the border as the scents of his leader and a companion were growing stale with each minute. Looking towards his friend, he shifted his paws a little and gave the feline a small nudge, whiskers twitching. "The borders are great because no one is ever out on them," he spoke, slowing his pace a little in case Caramelblood decided to retaliate and shove him back. The chocolate calico must've jinxed them because next thing he knew, Thunderclan scent was tickling his nose. Thrushflight came to a sudden halt and tried to pinpoint the scent against the wind. His tail shot upwards, suggesting that Caramelblood stop as well. "Thunderclan," he spoke, his pale blue hues shooting his friend a sinister look. "Not a patrol by the scent of it...."
--
Hiddentalon was calmly taking a stroll on the border. His creamy and white tabby pelt was glistening in the sunlight. New-leaf was around the corner. The weather seemed to be getting warmer, but then again, that was probably all in his head. He was so eager to get to the warmer months that nothing else seemed to matter. Although as Hiddentalon walked, he let the fresh air run against his scent glands and he picked up stale scents of the Windclan leader, but fresher scents of a small patrol. Now the warrior had to be careful. He wasn't here to pick a fight, just to enjoy his solitude. What Hiddentalon didn't know was that it'd be the last time he walked the border.

(This'll probably be short so sorry...)

Caramelblood huffed as Thrushflight nudged him, rolling their crystal blue eyes in slight annoyance. "Yeah. No one's out here much." the caramel-marked cat agreed before the scent of ThunderClan hit his nose. Caramelblood sniffed at the air, their nose lifting a bit to smell the close-by newcomer. "Well... ya jinxed it..." he huffed out to Thrushflight before moving even closer to the border that marked the line between WindClan's territory and ThunderClan. He seemed to be intrested in the scent as it wasn't strong, meaning it was probably only one cat.

Thrushflight's hues were brimming with ideas suddenly and a sudden blood lust took over his body. "I have an idea..." he spoke quietly, crouching down and slinking towards a tree on the border. There, he awaited his friend to approach, assuming Caramelblood would and once they were there, Thrushflight would give him a long look. "You need to kill them," he spoke. The thought was bunt and really came out of thin air. "Kill them for the sake of the clans. No Dark Forest follower would dare travel alone until the clans are peaceful again," he spoke. His voice was hushed, but very quick as they would miss the chance.
--
Hiddentalon had paused. The scent was strong, however he spotted no feline. They better not be crossing the borders... he thought bitterly. He wouldn't tolerate such intrusions. Hiddentalon continued on at a very slow pace, coming upon the tree the two other felines were hiding at. Of course, he had no idea they were there.

[super short xD]
Caramelblood had moved with Thrushflight to hide behind the tree on the border, his blue eyes seeming to dangerously sparkle at their friend's words. "I'll do that..." he muttered out quietly, as to not alert the ThunderClanner on the border. The young cat sniffed at the air to pinpoint where their victim was. The cream and caramel cat looked back at his friend, blue eyes shimmering slightly as he thought of what to do. He could take a stealth approach and surprise the ThunderClannner, or he could just jump out and attack the approaching cat. Though, instead of taking one of those two approaches, he decided to go with a casual approach. The young warrior calmed his face and body into his slightly-emotionless but calm state, one he used around his clan members. They then walked out from behind the tree, staying on the WindClan side of the border for the moment. "W-Whats a Th-Thund-derClanner l-like you d-d-doing out here al-lone...?" he asked with the fake stutter he used to throw off the cats in his clan about his real personality. Caramelblood was going to trick this cat into thinking everything was more-or-so fine until the last moment.

Hiddentalon was just about to leave when a Windclan cat came into view. Fluffing out his fur and narrowing his amber hues, he dared the unknown cat to approach. Just as he did. "I could ask you the same thing. Especially since you were hiding!" he spoke boldly, spreading his legs out a little bit to get into a defensive stance, his head lowered to line up with his shoulder blades. "As long as you don't cross the border, we won't have any issues!" he declared, giving a small huff. This was a Windclan cat, no matter how weak they seemed to to appear with their stutter. They were enemies and he was going to defend his territory no matter what.
--
Meanwhile, Thrushflight crouched down and angled himself just enough to peer around the tree trunk to watch. A smirk was upon his face as he watched. His friend was using his act against the foolish Thunderclan cat. This will be fun to watch, he thought to himself, almost happily. No other clan mates were around so they could do this and run and it'll be like they weren't even there. However Thrushflight's flaw was their scents. He didn't think about covering their scents at all, but it was too late now.

Caramelblood shrunk down like he was scared. "I-I thoug-ght there we-ere more of you s-so I g-got scared an-nd h-hid..." the young warrior falsely stammered out, looking down at his paws as if he was ashamed of what he did. After a moment, he looked up at Hiddentalon again, moving a bit closer to the borderline but not crossing it. "B-But r-rea-ally... wh-hat ar-re you doing h-here?..." he asked, a bit more serious this time. "I'v-ve nev-ver seen a l-lone Th-hunderClan-nner at the bord-der before..." he stammered out and pretended to awkwardly shuffle his paws as his widened blue eyes stared at the cat across the border from him. His act was great, making him seem like a terrified new apprentice instead of the bloodthirsty warrior that he was. Caramelblood was holding back from attacking the ThunderClan tom, wanting him to let his guard down so he could easily get a shot at him. The plan was to pin him down and slowly kill him with agonizing pain, to teach the lone supposed StarClan worshiper a lesson.

Hiddentalon only bushed up more as the warrior stepped closer to the border. "No closer! You're pushing the limits!" his voice was slowly becoming a growl as he raised his head up, looking down on the cowering warrior. Hiddentalon felt mighty for a moment. The fact that this feline was acting weak and vulnerable made him feel even more confident. However, his guard wasn't let down in the slightest. "So what, I'm alone. I can still take on a weak Windclanner like you," he sneered, lashing his tail a little bit. "But if you keep asking, I'm patrolling, what are you doing out here alone? You look as though you couldn't harm a fly," he insult came out as a pure growl. He didn't trust this warrior no matter how weak and small they seemed.
--
Meanwhile, Thrushflight was watching with perked ears. This acting had his attention, however he was beginning to think that Caramelblood was dragging out too far. The Thunderclan warrior would leave soon if they didn't do something now. Just as he thought, the Thunderclan warrior was losing interest in his apparent insults and body language. "Leave it to me..." he murmured with a small huff and an eye roll. Backing up a little while still staying low, he looked around quickly. Thinking quickly, Thrushflight sat on his haunches, facing the tree and ran his sharp claws through the back several times. The noise was loud enough for even Caramel and Hidden to hear.
--
"What's that?" Hiddentalon was momentarily distracted as a noise from a tree was heart nearby. "I thought you were alone!" he hissed suddenly, lowering his guard just long enough to lift his head upwards and let his amber hues search the territory beyond the "weak" warrior in front of him. He was not concerned about them anymore, the noise was too obvious to let it slide.

[ConfusedCas]

Obsidiansky watched, satisfied as his young apprentice glanced around at the border. He seemed uneasy, though for what reason the tom was unsure...it's not like ThunderClan cats are going to come out of nowhere and jump us, he thought with a sigh. That made him uncomfortable- just the thought that cats who were stronger then them coming out of literally nowhere.

"Let's move on, shall we?" The tom suggested, shifting his weight as he waited for the younger cat's approval.
Rainpaw glanced at his mentor finally noticing his annoyance. His whiskers twitched in amusement, What's he so mad about? He wondered, trying to think back to something he said. Was it the sarcasm? Maybe he's not used to my glare. Never thought I'd annoy a warrior though. Once Obsidiansky glanced at him, with a semi-angry look, Rainpaw looked away and was careful to not let a gleam of pride enter his sharp yellow gaze. He didn't neccesarily want his mentor to be mad or hate him but it put the apprentice in a slightly powerful position. I should probably stop giving him dirt. He knew the only way to really get to know the tom was to get him to ease up and open up, exactly what Obsidiansky was trying to do to Rainpaw. But Rainpaw had different intentions. It would be good practice for him to study his mentor and try and predict his emotions just by a twitch of the tail. He suspected in about six moons he'd be able to tell exactly what training they'd do next or where his mentor would take him.
His ear twitched as he repeated what he had said about Thunderclan warriors first. "Right right, we're the agile and fast ones. But once one of those furballs pin us are we just mousemeat?" Rainpaw swung his head to face Obsidiansky as he asked-more likely demanded an answer. He didn't want to be considered just a speedy hare, he wanted to know the strong moves.

The black warrior's hues narrowed and his body became tense at the younger cat's words. He doesn't need to be so rude. The cat thought, the tip of his tail twitching back and forth angrily as he watched the younger tom's expression. He hadn't been asking. Not in a polite ways, anyway...he had been more of demanding an answer. "You might want to reconsider the way you asked me that. I'm not going to answer until you do." He mewed, keeping his voice level. There was no way he was going to give this cat the satisfaction of hearing him lose his temper. Because as far as he could tell, that was what the younger tom was waiting for; for him to lose it. And he didn't want the cat going back to his friend and mentioning he had been mistreated.
Not only would that be a lie, but it would make him more frustrated then before. And he desperately wanted a good relationship with this younger cat. He seemed to be a good cat with a-- well-- not particularly broken heart, but a heart that had been crushed before. The tip of Obsidiansky's tail twitched as he watched the apprentice, standing completely still and wondering what the tom was going to do. He mentally prepared for a sharp, angry answer, though he didn't really want one...he would have rather had a softer, more gentle answer. But of course that was unlikely. From what he understood of Rainpaw, the tom was never in the mood to give a softer answer. Though perhaps he had the apprentice all wrong-- however much he doubted it.
Maybe he was being too judgmental, no matter how kind he thought he was being towards the young tom. He had been embarrassed, after all. But-- Rainpaw was going to have to learn that not everything was going to work out the way he wanted, whether he tried to bully cats into doing it for him or not.

Hiddentalon only bushed up more as the warrior stepped closer to the border. "No closer! You're pushing the limits!" his voice was slowly becoming a growl as he raised his head up, looking down on the cowering warrior. Hiddentalon felt mighty for a moment. The fact that this feline was acting weak and vulnerable made him feel even more confident. However, his guard wasn't let down in the slightest. "So what, I'm alone. I can still take on a weak Windclanner like you," he sneered, lashing his tail a little bit. "But if you keep asking, I'm patrolling, what are you doing out here alone? You look as though you couldn't harm a fly," he insult came out as a pure growl. He didn't trust this warrior no matter how weak and small they seemed.
--
Meanwhile, Thrushflight was watching with perked ears. This acting had his attention, however he was beginning to think that Caramelblood was dragging out too far. The Thunderclan warrior would leave soon if they didn't do something now. Just as he thought, the Thunderclan warrior was losing interest in his apparent insults and body language. "Leave it to me..." he murmured with a small huff and an eye roll. Backing up a little while still staying low, he looked around quickly. Thinking quickly, Thrushflight sat on his haunches, facing the tree and ran his sharp claws through the back several times. The noise was loud enough for even Caramel and Hidden to hear.
--
"What's that?" Hiddentalon was momentarily distracted as a noise from a tree was heart nearby. "I thought you were alone!" he hissed suddenly, lowering his guard just long enough to lift his head upwards and let his amber hues search the territory beyond the "weak" warrior in front of him. He was not concerned about them anymore, the noise was too obvious to let it slide.
Caramelblood seemed to cower down more at the insult, acting like it phased him just to see if he could trick the cat even more. Though, he popped up a bit at hearing Thrushflight's claws rake down the tree he was hiding behind. 'Nice thinking there, Thrush.' he thought as a slight toothy, mostly evil, grin popped on his face. He watched the ThunderClan warrior look around for whoever had made the noise so close to the border that reached the two. Caramelblood's blue eyes scanned the other warrior quickly while he was distracted, seeing how his head lifted up a bit to scan past him which in turn left his throat open for Caramelblood. The cream and caramel colored warrior knew this was the time to strike, when his victim was occupied with something else. So, he used his slightly crouching position to jump. They leaped over the border and their muscular figure bowled into Hiddentalon, the fact that Caramel's claws already being out but hidden under his fluffy fur adding damage as they curled into the ThunderClan warrior's side and neck. Their blue eyes became narrowed and dark while their softened and scared face became emotionless and hardened as they kept digging their claws slowly into Hiddentalon, obviously wanting to cause pain upon pain and probably even a slow death. "Someone as dumb as you has got to worship StarClan. Am I right or am I right?" he darkly chuckled out.

Thrushflight stopped what he was doing, peering around the tree he was at and simply watching. He wouldn't intervene again, this was for Caramelblood to handle.
--
Hiddentalon let out a yowl of surprise at the sudden thrust into his side. Falling over, he struggled for a moment, his claws aimlessly raking the air above him before he even thought about where Caramelblood was was striking. His side. Hiddentalon tried to curl, but the other cat's claws were already sinking in and pinning him down. He'd lose the fight if he struggled any further, he simply had to wait until the feline loosened up even the slightest before he'd try anything. "Of course! Any clan cat should have faith in Starclan! That includes you!" the cream and white tabby hissed through gritted teeth, his forepaws turned so that his claws could sink into the cold ground. It was the only relief he got. Assuming Caramelblood was positioned in a way his back legs couldn't kick at them, Hiddentalon's back legs churned in the air, hoping to catch some part of their leg. It was hopeless.

Caramelblood just gave a laugh at this, watching the ThunderClan warrior struggle beneath him even though he had him pinned on his side. "Only weak cats believe in StarClan, and I'm not weak." they growled out with almost no real emotion, or at least no sympathy for the cat he was digging his sharp claws into. The WindClanner then dragged the claws of one paw down the side of the ThunderClanner that he let his weight keep pinning the the other cat down. The dragging of his claws down Hiddentlon's flank was deliberately slow and painful, dragged out in a way that would make anyone think Caramelblood was trying to torture the ThunderClan warrior he had pinned. Which, they were trying to do that. The WindClanner wanted his first real victims death to be bloody, painful, and horrendous. He wanted the StarClan worshiper to realize how weak he was; how he was horrible for having faith in StarClan. Once Caramel was done with dragging his claws down Hiddentalon's flank as far as he could, he picked up that one, now supposedly bloody, paw and placed it on the ThunderClanner's neck as to pin him down even more. "Now, we can do this the fun way or the hard way." he stated. Both ways were equally as horrendous as you'd think.

"You're weak minded though! Starclan gives strength to those in need, you'll learn that the hard way," he hissed again through clenched teeth before an almost unbearable went down his side. Hiddentalon yowled with defiance and tried twisting. Despite his efforts, the other warrior was simply too heavy for the position Hiddentalon was in currently. I just need an opening... he thought to himself. He could barely recall everything spoken simply because of the pain on his side. He knew if he didn't act now things were going to get much worse. Starclan please don't let this cat kill me now! he begged inwardly, attempting to twist again. He was hoping that by struggling, Caramelblood would lose their grip enough for him to make a move. Hiddentalon would not flee though. Not after hearing the things about Starclan spoken from this cat. He wouldn't allow another Dark Forest believer to thrive in the clans. It was a risk for another dark era and he couldn't allow it at all.

His whiskers quivered for a moment but he tried to mask his annoyance. He was wrong to expect his mentor to just deal with his attitude but Rainpaw still wasn't used to being bossed around. "Oh forgive me Obsidiansky," Sarcasm dripped from his voice as he followed his comment with an eye roll but as he continued he started with a more respectful tone. "What do I need to know if I'm in a fight with a Thunderclan cat?" He hoped his comment hadn't crossed wherever his mentors line was. He half expected to get cuffed over the ears but he could tell Obsidiansky was trying to remain under control and couldn't imagine him lashing out-- after all Rainpaw had only just became a 'paw. His yellow gaze drifted over the division from moor to forest with wonder. His paws itched with eagerness to break out in a run and explore the territory. A wave of sadness washed over him, he would have loved to explore with his partner like he had done only a few moons back. Rainpaw shook his gray pelt as he decided this was not the time to reminisce. Stay out of my head! He glanced back up at the warrior and awaited his response.

The Savannah cat made his way, covering the last stretch of moorland before reaching the shade of the trees. With the sudden darkness, his eyes narrowed, but unlike his previous life when he was in Windclan, he was used to the darker shade of the trees. It was how he lived now in the Syndicate. Singe slowed his pace as he entered the shade of the trees. He allowed himself to relax some, knowing he was out of any immediate danger. Windclan was the Clan that held a high grudge against him for his actions against him during what they now called the Evil Era. Although, the tall tom cat didn't see himself as evil. He wanted change, that's all. Maybe it was just the measures that he had taken to get there. Oh well, it was over now, he had been knocked from the throne. Too late to fix it. Now he abided in the Syndicate with the friends he had made during his time as leader. He and aphis family lived there, all except for his daughter Beindle, who had forsaken him and stayed with his enemies. That was why he was there, to stalk her and see how she was, always hoping she would be miserable and would want yo come back.

Quietstream came running from the creek and then climbed a tree and found a shady spot to rest for a bit. He sat down and flicked his tail for awhile, thinking about all of his close friends. He scraped at the tree, sharpening his class to perfection. He finished in about 30 seconds and then smiled and jumped down (skip a minute)
Quietstream dug the dirt down and covered it. He padded around, feeling watched. He squinted and saw a slight shadow in the shade of a tree. He called out, "hello? Is anyone there?" He crouched a bit and continued squinting, looking for the figure he had seen. He stepped a bit closer and recognized the cat. It was singe night! He hissed "you!" He jumped back and unsheathed his claws and went into a defensive stance, ready to attack or dodge

Singe froze as he heard the sounds of a nearby cat. Sighing, he had done the thing he hadn't wanted to do, get seen. Too bad, too late now. Inserted of tackling hpthis like he would have done as the leader, he approached it more like his companion Hannibal. He sat down, curling his half sized tail around his body. He kept his ears up and eyes as unnarrowed as possible. He made himself seem inthreatening, even if the cat before him seemed ready to claw his ears off. He chuckled, finding the sight amusing, the tom cat didn't scare him. If the warrior truly knew who he was, then he should know better than to attack him. "Me? Yes, I'm sure you know who I am, but do you really want to fight me?" He said in his sly sneaky voice. "I mean really. I could end you in a couple of swipes, and from the smell of your frequently washed pelt, you have some cat you're close to, no?" He asked, working his way into this cat. He could take something from Hannibal, he could talk his way out of it.

Quietstream sheathed his claws and sat down, still on guard. He said "maybe I do maybe I don't, what's your business?" He said smiling mischievously. "Maybe we can work something out." He clawed at the ground, his white pelt shimmering off the sunlight. His eyes glimmered as he said his words. He licked his paw and put it back in the ground. He blinked and sighed, standing up and starting to circle the cat

Well that was a change of heart. Singe thought carefully. This was the same cat who had just been hostile towards him. What did he man by a deal anyways? Singe sighed. "I'm not here to negotiate you little warrior. But I shall listen, though don't get hopeful. I wasn't even spying on your clan on first intent. I'm just trying to work my way back to my home after I was kicked out of my first one." He growled slightly. Not the approach he had wanted, but this tom was starting to get on his bad side. Getting in his bad side meant a temper. A temper, meant claws and teeth and fighting. Luckily he wasn't at the e yet, so he still had some chance of trying to stay calm. He just needed to keep his temper under control. Which was something he had a hard time doing.

Quietstream grinned and mewed "I need you to protect my little ravenstorm in deal for training with you and joining you." His eyes glistened with mischief and evilness. He continued circling him, making sure he couldn't attack him even if he tried. He kept sheathing and unsheathing his claws from time to time. He sighed and eventually stopped circling him, but sitting down close to him.

"See I knew you had some one you were close to. But I'm not a protector. I have a life to you know. Don't think of me, for one second, that you can just waltz in here, command me to do something, because that is not how I work. Not in the least. And for you to even think that is shameful! Shame on you. Do not, ever, think of me like that again, or else your little Ravenstorm will be gone from these Clans faster than you can unsheath those claws you're fiddling with." He hissed. Thus Tim was really getting under his pelt now. Oh how he wanted to give this cat a run for what he was saying, Singe was not a cat to be toyed with, unless you had a death wish of course. But he was also missing something. "And you missed one important aspect. What will I get in return?"

Quietstream mewed "your honor and Liberty. We will gather a party and you can gain power again. It'll work out." He grinned and stared at him with his jade green eyes. "What do you say?" He asked tilting his head a bit and twitching his ears, waiting for a yes or no answer. He dug one of his claws into the ground. He sat up straight for once, not making a move to show he opposes on threat to him.

Singe released a chuckle of laughter. "You're kidding me right?" He asked in astonishment, hoping the cat was joking. Alas, he wasn't he seemed dead serious on the offer. "You honestly don't think that I am going to take your offer in walking into your camp, taking over and ruling again?" He asked, looking at the tom as if daring him to start laughing at the joke. "Look kid, no. I'm not doing that, especially after the fact that all the other leaders were murdered. I'm not risking it. And besides? Who needs the pathetic clans and their useless cat when I have the Syndicate, a group full of cats who have similar views as I do? I'm not taking it, nor am I protecting your little Ravenstorm. I'm disgusted by you that you even thought to use me in that way." He snorted. The tom stood up, towering over the other cat due to his long limbs. He turned, ready to lad away.

Quietstream said "well I can get you whatever you wan or need. I'm connected with a few other people from the clans to help you get what you want. Dusk syndicate leadership." He grinned and stared at him, not squinting anymore. He flicked his tail "We can help you with it. We can take over the dusk syndicate and you can make me co commander. Come on?" He blinked

Singe was done. Completely done. It was in his personality. He truly believed that you had eight seconds to make a first impression, well the hostility and upfront was of this cat was not making a good impression on him. "I don't want that either. Now I suggest you head back to your dumb Clan and live there before I make sure you live no where. I'm not a cat to be used or manipulated, your attempts are just pathetic. Why do you even need your 'precious wittle Wavenstorm' to be protected? If you think you're so big and bad do it yourself." He spat.

(Yes it's supposed to be spelled like that)

Quiet stream said "I hate my clan and I want to train with you to get stronger. Maybe you don't have to protect ravenstorm but can you atleast train me? Singe, I admire you and you're a role model for me. Please let me do this." He looked at him with big eyes "I know you want to be leader of the dusk syndicate." He grinned

Singe rolled his eyes. "Yeah just as much as you want to be Hannibals next meal." He retorted sarcastically. "You know, you're a wimp if you can't protect your own mate. But yes I'll show you. As long as you don't mention this to the Clans that I've been hanging around here. They find me, I find you. You just...disappear. Are we Clear?"

Quietstream nodded "we are clear." He grinned and mewed, "And I can defend my friend, she's not a mate, yet atleast. I just want to make sure she doesn't die on my paws." He stood up and licked his own shoulder. He unsheathed his claws feeling a bit threatened.

Singenight nodded. "Alright whatever makes you feel better." The tan cat said with a shrug as he padded past the tom, heading out to leave. As his flank became even with that of Quietstream, Singe flashed out with his paw, claws half sheathed, so as to rake out fur and not make for bleeding wounds, the exwarrior swirled around on his paws and slid out of the way of a quick counter attack. "Fight me then." He hissed.

Singe smirked menacingly. "Taking defensive huh? That no fun, you're the one wanting to train here, come at me!" He spat. The tan Savannah cat lunged forwards, stretching out his paws, ready to latch onto the cat and push him to the ground. The sheer size and momentum of that tom was enough to stun him and push him down, but he needed to test the endurance of this cat. A cat with low endurance was as good as dead in the ex leaders opinion.

His whiskers quivered for a moment but he tried to mask his annoyance. He was wrong to expect his mentor to just deal with his attitude but Rainpaw still wasn't used to being bossed around. "Oh forgive me Obsidiansky," Sarcasm dripped from his voice as he followed his comment with an eye roll but as he continued he started with a more respectful tone. "What do I need to know if I'm in a fight with a Thunderclan cat?" He hoped his comment hadn't crossed wherever his mentors line was. He half expected to get cuffed over the ears but he could tell Obsidiansky was trying to remain under control and couldn't imagine him lashing out-- after all Rainpaw had only just became a 'paw. His yellow gaze drifted over the division from moor to forest with wonder. His paws itched with eagerness to break out in a run and explore the territory. A wave of sadness washed over him, he would have loved to explore with his partner like he had done only a few moons back. Rainpaw shook his gray pelt as he decided this was not the time to reminisce. Stay out of my head! He glanced back up at the warrior and awaited his response.

The warrior's hues flashed with the slightest bit of sadness as he examined the younger cat. True, he hadn't really thought that it would be an instant friendship-- not after what had happened at the Breezerock-- but he had at least thought that it would be better then this, more respect and perhaps even a neutral agreement between the two. But much to Obsidiansky's chagrin, it wasn't working the way he had imagined at all. For a moment, the tom's hues flashed as though he were going to ignore the question again, but he knew he couldn't keep doing that. What if Singenight returned? They were going to need all the help they could get to fight against whatever cat might attack. Besides, even if Singenight didn't return, the other Clans could be taken over again.

And even if they weren't; even if everything remained the way it always had been; there were always border scuffles, and other things that would result in injury if the younger tom wasn't properly trained. So no matter how much Obsidiansky would like to 'parent' Rainpaw, and be a friend to him, he knew that wasn't going to happen. Was it?

"ThunderClan cats are stronger then us, but aren't as fast and agile. We can normally dart in, land a hit, and dart out. Pinning them down isn't the best idea-- they can usually throw us off, unless they're a smaller cat then you. The best option when faced against a ThunderClan cat would be to try and hit as many blows as you can and hope they retreat after they're too hurt. Don't ever kill purposely; unless there's no other option, and you're already tried retreating. It's better to retreat then to kill." Obsidiansky explained, and then glanced at Rainpaw to make sure that he had gotten and understood all that the older tom had said. Obsidiansky was a little disappointed...both in Rainpaw, and in himself. He was normally able to gain others' friendship; yet it seemed no matter how hard he tried, he only drove Rainpaw further away.

Singenight stopped, extremely confused on why the cat raced away, avoided hitting him, and climbed a tree. "What in the world are you doing up there? You're a cat not a squirrel, now get down here and fight. If you want to be seen as a more ruthless cat then don't run away. Doing that makes cats see you as weak and incompetent. The only ones you'll scare are the medicine cat because of ou could fall out of the tree and crowd up their dens." He hissed in annoyance. Honestly, what was he doing? Singe was not, in the least, impressed. Rather awestruck by the strange and bizarre moves Quietstream was taking.

His tail twitched as Obsidiansky repeated himself again. Yes I know we are fast and agile! He bit back the reply and continued to listen carefully. "Right." He nodded, wondering if he would ever have to actually kill in battle. From what he told me about my mother, she needed to. Quickly he pushed the thought aside, he wasn't like her.
"What kind of blows? And wouldn't that take to long?" He inquired with interest, eyes finally sparking with curiosity instead of hostility. It seemed battle training made Rainpaw more pleasant, or at least it distracted him.

Obsidiansky cocked his head to the side as he examined the apprentice. "This will all be explained in battle training. I'll show you exactly what I mean then. Right now, we should move on." He mewed, flicking his tail towards the future borders. Although normally he would have been happy to have this discussion, especially since Rainpaw was showing signs of being a more pleasant cat, he knew that they needed to hurry.

Not hurry so that he wasn't learning anything-- but hurry so that they had time to do these all today. "Sorry. I'm supposed to show you all around today, and if we run out of time-- that's more time that we could be using for hunting or battle training tomorrow. But I will explain tomorrow, I promise." Obsidiansky told the younger tom, using a voice that was so soft and so reassuring it was almost motherly-- though not quite, that would have been strange.

Obsidiansky padded on ahead, waiting for the younger tom to catch up and swallowing slightly. So far the first day of training had been what he would call both a success and a failure; success because it seemed Rainpaw was learning quickly, and he was a brilliant apprentice, and failure because he hadn't gotten anywhere as far as friendship was concerned. And at the rate things were going...well...it was going to be one long, tough, hard road for Obsidiansky and Rainpaw.

"You're weak minded though! Starclan gives strength to those in need, you'll learn that the hard way," he hissed again through clenched teeth before an almost unbearable went down his side. Hiddentalon yowled with defiance and tried twisting. Despite his efforts, the other warrior was simply too heavy for the position Hiddentalon was in currently. I just need an opening... he thought to himself. He could barely recall everything spoken simply because of the pain on his side. He knew if he didn't act now things were going to get much worse. Starclan please don't let this cat kill me now! he begged inwardly, attempting to twist again. He was hoping that by struggling, Caramelblood would lose their grip enough for him to make a move. Hiddentalon would not flee though. Not after hearing the things about Starclan spoken from this cat. He wouldn't allow another Dark Forest believer to thrive in the clans. It was a risk for another dark era and he couldn't allow it at all.
Caramelblood narrowed his eyes with a huff, digging his claws more into Hiddentalon's side. "You're the weak minded one... StarClan lovers like you are so soft." they slightly growled out, blue eyes sharp like daggers. He pressed his weight into the ThunderClanner more than he had been to keep the other under his grasp. Caramelblood started to pick his claws at Hiddentalon's neck, flexing his paw to where he wouldn't cause a wound that would let the other warrior bleed out but enough to where it would cause a pickling sensation. Though, Caramel hoped this caused mostly fear in the warrior as he wanted to terrify him before he died. "You're not gonna get away from me," he started, giving a cat-like grin. "Though, if you believe in StarClan so much... I don't think you'd mind if you joined them, correct?" he chuckled out, having made some kind of joke. Let alone, the joke was dark and dreary and most likely it was targeted towards a different kind of audience then Hiddentalon. Though, Caramel still found himself to be at least slightly funny here.

Singe was smart in battle. He had a way of keeping his emotions at bay, unless his temper was needed. He stayed and glared at the tom cat thr Ugh narrowed yellow hues. He had a hard time understanding this cat, they didn't seem to be at his understanding of how a battle worked. The Savannah saw the cat moving his haunches, but decided to stay out, trusting his size and strength to protect him. He watched, without flinching as the cat jumped down on top of him. He remained motionless as the cat landed atop his back. Then in a sudden, jerking movement, he twisted his body into an 'S' like shape, thereby tossing the tom to the ground. He moved quickly and stood above the cat who was now on the ground. He placed one of his large paws over the Warriors chest, keeping him pinned. "Quietstream, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. Stop acting like a kit and listen for once." He spat before removing his paw to let the other up. He sat down, his half tail sweeping over the dead leaves that litter d the lightly snowed on ground. "When in battle, don't outwardly flaunt your pride. Do not get cocky, and do not act like you know what you are doing. Clear?"

Singe still did not assume a menacing or fighting pose. Rather he sat still and gazed calmly at the cat, who seemed so eager for a battle that the Savannah believed he wasn't ready for. How did this cat even survive those time where we ruled? He seems to weak, it's a wonder he wasn't killed. he thought, mildly impressed. "No no, no fighting. That's one thing you must know, do not wish battles upon yourself. For even the strongest can be knocked from their high tower due to pride and boasting. Your strengths can fail, you can fail. Never rush into things without knowing consequences. Honestly, didn't your mentor teach you anything?" He asked, with an annoyed sigh. If this cat wanted to be like him, more battle ready and ruthless, he had a lot to learn. Just because one was feared and seen and malicious and mean, even scary, didn't mean they were invincible and fearless. They had their weak spots too, and they had to know them in order to protect themselves.

A flash of sympathy coursed through the Savannah. Singe frowned slightly. "Well that explains a lot." He mewed bluntly, regaining his normal composure. "Then I guess training starts again now. But from the sounds of it, Ashstar was about a good a leader as Dapplestar. Both too blunt and prideful to realize what was going on in their Clan. Either that or they were too selfish and caught up in their own problems to care about the Clan they swore to lead." He stated grudipgingly, his voice rising with a temper that was not, this time directed at Quietstream. "Now, what do you know then? Because being like me is more than just being good at battle."

Hiddentalon felt the claws picking at his skin around his neck. Cautiously, he twisted his head enough to look the blue-eyed warrior in the eye. "I'd die for them knowing I did right on this earth rather than murder for the fun of it. Disgracing good and noble cats is all you'll accomplish," the cream and white warrior spat in their face. Hiddentalon didn't care what happened next. If the clans really couldn't get rid of evil cats like the one before him, then what was the point of fighting? There would always be evil. He was young, but defended his clan when he needed most and if dying right here and right now meant saving another warrior's life, then so be it. That was the type of cat Hiddentalon was. Once more, the warrior started thrashing, utterly failing with their weight on top of him.

For one, instinct is your main defense, rely on it to help keep you alive. Two, your claws and mouth aren't your only weapons. Use your words. Discover their weaknesses, pull them out and crush them, all by just a few simple words. Sometimes the most damage can be done mentally by toying with your opponents head. Do need an example?"

A glossy-furred tabby walked silently amongst the trees, keeping her leaf green eyes carefully trained on the border. They wasnt much going on that crisp Winter's day, and she hadn't seen any--wait, that was a lie, there was a WindClan tomcat, to close for her liking.

But if you keep up with these lowsy attempts to break me then I may just have to turn back on my deal and send my friendly cannibal friend after your beloved Ravenstorm. Or are you evil now so you don't care?" He sneered. "I would have no problem doing so, all I need is another disrespectful word, jumpy conclusion, and the deed is done. But dpbecause of your disrespect, I'm sure Hannibal would be up for some take out meal. I think he likes the taste of young Thunderclan Warriors for breakfast." He added in thoughtfully.

Singe made a quick move, almost incomprehensible for the eye. He swiped his law around, catching Quietstreams outstretched paw and knocked it to the ground, hold it pinned there. Once done, he surged forwards in a mass of strength and slammed his broad, thick head into the upper chest area, right below the neck, of Quietstream, a fatal blow if done in the right way, but Winge wanted to keep them alive for a while.

The tom cat wasn't impressed, but he wasn't impressed very often as it was hard to do. He shrugged it off and gazed lovely at the cat before him.

He looked down at his chest, and smoothed his ruffled chest fur and looked back up. "Clean yourself up. Your not going to just die, so suck it up and move on. The more you mope, the worse I want to claw your ears off. Now, explain your theory behind that tactic." He remarked, curious to see the thought behind the action.

He slid over to her and to her side. He held her up "you ok?"

The young she-cat nodded stiffly, leaning on the warrior. "I'm Elmfrost," she added in a whisper, seemingly unable to speak.

He nodded and said, "I'm Lycanrock. 17 moons." He smiled, still holding her up

He nodded and said, "I'm Lycanrock. 17 moons." He smiled, still holding her up
"Nice to meet you..." Elmfrost finally blinked and then closed her eyes, just standing and leaning on this cat she had just met for one reason; He said I was beautiful. But he's in WindClan... we shouldnt be talking...

"Nice to meet you..." Elmfrost finally blinked and then closed her eyes, just standing and leaning on this cat she had just met for one reason; He said I was beautiful. But he's in WindClan... we shouldnt be talking...

He smiled and purred quietly. He said "It's nice to meet you too." He looked at her like she was about to fall asleep
Elmfrost stayed standing like that for a moment, and then stood up straight as she saw the sky. "I was supposed to have set out for hunting, I must go... I can see you by that elm tree on the border tomorrow at sunhigh," she meowed quickly before turning to run back towards her home, hoping no cat had seen her.

He nodded and waved her goodbye before setting off to go hunt

[goddess of ducks]

He nodded and said "well, I want to taunt them a bit so they attack me, then I barrel beneath them and flip them over, pin them down and use one claw to dig deep in their throat and slide it across, thus killi them." He wiped a tear from his eye looking behind him to make sure no one was there
Singe lisgptened, curious to hear the reasoning. He evaluated the move in his mind, and played the thing over in his head, taking note of how the body would twist and turn in the predicament. "Alright. The taunting things, commonly used. Good tactic there but I want yo show you something a bit the move. Go slowly, explain each step, one by one and let me help instruct you. You have a good basis here, but you can't be expected to be able to complete it every time. You must be prepared for counter attacks. Cats don't just lay motionless when you're trying to kill them. Now, slow motion, step by step and let me explain and demonstrate some things." He said taking a step back and facing the warrior head in.

Elmfrost trotted quickly out of the cover of the forest, looking around for Blackrose. She had long since stopped looking over her shoulder. "You came!" she exclaimed joyously, sprinting over to him. "I thought that the sincerely snowy weather may have altered your ability to arrive here."

He sat up and purred "I thought you wouldn't come either." He laughed and looked at his close friend. "How have you been?"

Elm smiled, purring. Her expression was warm and she meowed, "That is terrific." Pausing, she added, "D'ya want to go over by that elm tree? There's less snow there, and it's getting dark... D'ya think we should spend the night here?"

he purred and nodded "yeah, let's go." He walked over to the tree and jumped up on it and in a hollow part. He made two small rooms, separate by a few twigs and leaves. He said, "ok, you can choose which one you want." He started making the nests

Singe gave a small shrug. He was asking for it, so he would bring it. And in a flash, Singe was diving towards the Tim cat, slipping to the left and feigning the attack. As he rolled back to his oaws, he swiped, aiming his unsheathed paw at the hindquarters of Quietstream.

Quietstream dodged to the right and then slid under him, his claws sheathed so he could flip him over. He slid right down under him, about to flip him over

[Trashy Sky]

Hiddentalon felt the claws pricking at his skin around his neck. Cautiously, he twisted his head enough to look the blue-eyed warrior in the eye. "I'd die for them knowing I did right on this earth rather than murder for the fun of it. Disgracing good and noble cats is all you'll accomplish," the cream and white warrior spat in their face. Hiddentalon didn't care what happened next. If the clans really couldn't get rid of evil cats like the one before him, then what was the point of fighting? There would always be evil. He was young, but defended his clan when he needed most and if dying right here and right now meant saving another warrior's life, then so be it. That was the type of cat Hiddentalon was. Once more, the warrior started thrashing, utterly failing with their weight on top of him.
Caramelblood growled as the ThunderClanner spat in his face, his blue eyes narrowing with the action. If he hadn't been mad before, he was mad now. "I'm not murdering for the fun of it, fox dung." he started off, cursing at the other cat that he was on top of. Caramelblood dug his claws deeper into the ThunderClanner as he started thrashing, getting a better grip just incase the warrior might be too much for their young build. Though, they grinned when they noticed the other warrior seemed to fail with their thrashing. "I'm getting rid of the soft StarClan-lovers. The clans are weak with them and StarClan is only dragging us down." he finally finished his statement, starting to slowly push the claws that had been pricking at Hiddentalon's neck into it. He wanted to start drawing blood, start letting the ThunderClan warrior bleed out next to the border. Caramelblood just wanted this over with at this point, finding the killing of the ThunderClanner to be taking up too much time that he could be using to do something else.

Singe had missed, the cats hind disappearing as his claws swiped. Annoyed he turned around to see him, but couldn't find him. Knowing by instinct where he was, he let his long limbs collapse under him and he landed on the ground, trusting his size and weight to crush the cat beneath him.

Quietstream yowled as he fell on him. He kicked at his stomach and found his tail. He leaned in to bite his tail

Quietstream yowled as he fell on him. He kicked at his stomach and found his tail. He leaned in to bite his tail
Singe didn't see the bite to the tail coming, but as soon as the teeth connected on his already severed tail. The area though to his luck, was covered in mostly scar tissue, so the pain was not as painful as it could have been. Instead, the larger cat kicked out behind him, hoping to connect with a flank or head, or something. Enough to get him off his tail.

as quietstream was kicked in the flank he latched off and rolled out from under him. He said "we can stop..." He bled from his cheek and muzzle, as well as his flank. He shook his head and spat out blood "my tactic wont work." He said. He sighed and said, "im sorry, I failed you."

Hesitantly, a Singe stopped. He was just getting into the battle and was not excited to stop. He let go though, and took a few paces back. "Pathetic." He mumbled under his breath. "Stop saying you failed me." He came back, louder this time. "You have only failed yourself. Now, stop bashing yourself and face me. Change your tactic. Seriously, when have you ever used one specific series of moves in battle? You adapt. You modify. You correct. You change. Now, step by step. Show me what you are thinking." He said, his voice tone becoming slightly impatient with the other warrior.

Quietstream nodded as he took his stance while sitting. He jumped up to the left and bolted to the right, sliding under and about to flip him over, so he could pin him down.

Quietstream nodded as he took his stance while sitting. He jumped up to the left and bolted to the right, sliding under and about to flip him over, so he could pin him down.
Singe liked the general idea of the move, but he needed to teach this strange tom that things changed. Besides, change was Isnges main theme, right? Yes, and he felt the need to demonstrate. The tom watched as he jumped up and began to slide under him. In a quick move he stuck his front paw farther behind him, narrowing the room for Quietstream to slide through, almost blocking the perfect slide, that could cause him to stop underneath him.

Singe smiled maliciously. He had a plan. He almost always had a plan. He felt the sudden weight of Quiestream and let his large body topple to the ground, most likely to squish a paw of the Warriors if he wasn't careful. As Quietstream extended a claw to his throat, Singe kept his cool. "Oh dear, it's seems you win this round." He sighed, looking down cast and dea feared.

Hiddentalon hissed with outrage and pain as the warrior's claws sank deeper into his neck. He could feel his neck grown warm with his own blood at this point. He didn't believe what he was hearing though. There was no way one cat could take out the clans... unless there were more... the thought terrified him. "You can't do this single-pawed. How many of you cowards are out there?" he spoke as loudly as he could with the pressure on his neck. It made it harder to breath, let alone speak. Hiddentalon's amber hues were blazing with rage at this point. "I'll make sure you never get away with this," he growled. Although with that statement, Hiddentalon didn't thrash. He didn't try to fight back because he knew it was hopeless. He was recalling the noise he heard earlier. This cat wasn't alone and even if he did break free, Windclanner move quicker than he ever could. If there were more cats around, there was no point anyways. He couldn't beat a whole patrol. For all he knew, there was a whole patrol just waiting around the corner.

Flamepaw toppled over and dropped her mouse. She jumped to her paws. "Hey, watch where your going next time!" Flamepaw snapped. "You made me drop my-" she stopped in mid-sentence. "Oh, er... Sorry Snowpaw! I didn't mean to snap..."

[goddess of ducks]

Quietstream nodded and grinned wickedly. He sighed and just let go of him
Singe recovered quickly and rose to his paws, looking down in the other tom, emotionless. "Now, what do you think that your next course of action should be?" He asked. Besides this was Quietstream coming to him. Where did the warrior want to take this? A simple training session to help protect his lover? Maybe become evil? Singe didn't know.

Flamepaw flicked her tail and looked away, blushing. "A-are you alright?" She stammered.

He said "I need to bit the tail and roll out and on top of them." He smiled and sighed.
Singe nodded in agreement. "Yes. Bite the tail, they will be preoccupied with getting their tail free that you should have time to get in top of them. Then, use your claws to slice their back with multiple shots." He explained.

Singe nodded in agreement. "Yes. Bite the tail, they will be preoccupied with getting their tail free that you should have time to get in top of them. Then, use your claws to slice their back with multiple shots." He explained.

[Sure if you would post in the clearing with a mention for me that would be great]
Singe dipped his head. He turned and padded away towards a tree to sleep. He didn't feel like making the journey back to the Syndicate just for a night only to make the same journey a few hours later.

[ConfusedCas]

Obsidiansky cocked his head to the side as he examined the apprentice. "This will all be explained in battle training. I'll show you exactly what I mean then. Right now, we should move on." He mewed, flicking his tail towards the future borders. Although normally he would have been happy to have this discussion, especially since Rainpaw was showing signs of being a more pleasant cat, he knew that they needed to hurry.

Not hurry so that he wasn't learning anything-- but hurry so that they had time to do these all today. "Sorry. I'm supposed to show you all around today, and if we run out of time-- that's more time that we could be using for hunting or battle training tomorrow. But I will explain tomorrow, I promise." Obsidiansky told the younger tom, using a voice that was so soft and so reassuring it was almost motherly-- though not quite, that would have been strange.

Obsidiansky padded on ahead, waiting for the younger tom to catch up and swallowing slightly. So far the first day of training had been what he would call both a success and a failure; success because it seemed Rainpaw was learning quickly, and he was a brilliant apprentice, and failure because he hadn't gotten anywhere as far as friendship was concerned. And at the rate things were going...well...it was going to be one long, tough, hard road for Obsidiansky and Rainpaw.

Disapointment flashed across the apprentices hues as he was actually excited about training but it was looking as if the pair would only be scoping out the territory. How boring... It wasn't hard for him to remember landmarks-- with a photographic memory and all but he knew it was required for every apprentice to know their clan territory before anything and he knew that. Rainpaw stifled a sigh and continued to walk beside Obsidiansky without any more attempts of squabbling.
"Very well... It's fine." He could tell by how soft and careful his mentors voice was that the tom was trying hard to not upset his apprentice. It was fair considering all the events that Rainpaw had displayed during the day but the gray tabby still didn't like it. He felt as if he were being patronized-- something he had noticed many times in the nursery regarding the queens. Warriors and older apprentices would also treat him like this but, to his relief, it quickly ceased when they realized that he wasn't a helpless, defective kit but rather a bully and a pain in the tail. He had a feeling that Obsidiansky would learn in due time that to gain Rainpaw's respect would be not through coddling but discipline and treating Rainpaw like any other apprentice.
As Rainpaw kept a steady pace with the older tom his mind strayed and his paws continued to itch to be back in camp. What if she's not there when I get back? Is she out training now? It seemed impossible to get Heartpaw off his mind. All he was certain of was that he needed to speak, and apologize, as soon as he could. Pride was a big thing in the apprentices life and would most likely continue to be but he had to push it aside this one time for the sake of their friendship. Will she forgive me?

[Trashy Sky]

{Thrush says hurry so he can flirt}
Hiddentalon hissed with outrage and pain as the warrior's claws sank deeper into his neck. He could feel his neck grown warm with his own blood at this point. He didn't believe what he was hearing though. There was no way one cat could take out the clans... unless there were more... the thought terrified him. "You can't do this single-pawed. How many of you cowards are out there?" he spoke as loudly as he could with the pressure on his neck. It made it harder to breath, let alone speak. Hiddentalon's amber hues were blazing with rage at this point. "I'll make sure you never get away with this," he growled. Although with that statement, Hiddentalon didn't thrash. He didn't try to fight back because he knew it was hopeless. He was recalling the noise he heard earlier. This cat wasn't alone and even if he did break free, Windclanner move quicker than he ever could. If there were more cats around, there was no point anyways. He couldn't beat a whole patrol. For all he knew, there was a whole patrol just waiting around the corner.
Caramelblood chuckled, digging his claws deeper and deeper as he talked to the ThunderClanner. "We'll never be single-pawed. I have my best friend, we have rouges, we have Dusk Syndicate fighters." he started out, explaining how he would never be alone in this. There will always be 'evil', as it's said, in the forest. Caramelblood knew this, and no one would stop him from finding those others like him and banding them together. Hopefully, no one would stop him. The WindClanner did have thoughts of what might happen if he was found out, as he's already slipped up around WindClan's newest leader; Blazingstar. Continuing to press his claws into Hiddentalon's neck, Caramelblood continued speaking. "I plan to stay in WindClan as long as possible, training apprentices in the way. The way of the Dark Forest." he stated with a soft chuckle, knowing it was a pretty good plan if he was careful enough. The cream-ish warrior was pretty much grinning at this, his teeth shown off. It seemed as if he might lunge his muzzle at the ThunderClanner and bite down, though he wasn't going to do that. He still had a few words to speak. "I've already been assigned an apprentice anyways." he chuckled out before suddenly slashing the claws that were dug into Hiddentalon's neck down the side of it. Caramelblood split the skin and drew more blood, knowing the slash would let Hiddentalon most likely bleed out. Stepping back from the ThunderClanner, as he knew he couldn't stop him now, he gave another soft chuckle. "Oh, by the way, the only reason you died her today was because you worshiped StarClan like a mousebrain."

He felt as if he were being patronized-- something he had noticed many times in the nursery regarding the queens. Warriors and older apprentices would also treat him like this but, to his relief, it quickly ceased when they realized that he wasn't a helpless, defective kit but rather a bully and a pain in the tail. He had a feeling that Obsidiansky would learn in due time that to gain Rainpaw's respect would be not through coddling but discipline and treating Rainpaw like any other apprentice.

As Rainpaw kept a steady pace with the older tom his mind strayed and his paws continued to itch to be back in camp. What if she's not there when I get back? Is she out training now? It seemed impossible to get Heartpaw off his mind. All he was certain of was that he needed to speak, and apologize, as soon as he could. Pride was a big thing in the apprentices life and would most likely continue to be but he had to push it aside this one time for the sake of their friendship. Will she forgive me?

The warrior saw disappointment cross his apprentice's features. That was...worrisome. Was he doing a horrible job? Was that the real reason Rainpaw was so disagreeable, he just didn't like Obsidiansky? Well, the tom was determined to change this training session into something interesting. Something that Rainpaw would be able to remember with excitement and intrigue in his later moons, something that the tom would be able to speak of with excitement and intrigue in later moons when he was a much older warrior then he was now. Or maybe he would just tell Canineheart and Sagewhisker about it later. The two of them should find it interesting. At least-- he hoped so. Interest was something that probably would draw them together more.
That was something the black furred warrior desperately wanted, was Rainpaw's approval. For real. But he probably wouldn't be able to score it, considering his apprentice's standoffish attitude whenever Obsidiansky made attempts to be friendly. "Right. Heading on to the next border, then?" He asked, trying to keep the annoyance out of his voice. He wasn't really annoyed with Rainpaw. More of himself for not being a better mentor. But the younger cat wouldn't know that, and it would be easy for him to take it the wrong way. In a way that Obsidiansky definitely didn't mean. After all...no matter how much Rainpaw seemed to dislike him, he still cared for the younger cat. They had a bond-- to a certain level, to say the least.
And although it wasn't the magic that Obsidiansky had first imagined when he had gotten Rainpaw as his apprentice, there was a certain depth to it that he never would have thought existed before. Maybe he should stop treating Rainpaw differently. Maybe he should treat the younger cat as an equal-- not as though he didn't have a sense of smell. Of course some things would be different, but...Rainpaw was intelligent. Especially for his young age. Most new apprentices were either struck with terror or bouncy and overexcited, like the two involved in the argument. And then there were the proud ones, like Rainpaw. So maybe, just maybe...all Rainpaw wanted was to be treated as Obsidiansky's equal. Not as the cat with no sense of smell. And there was also that one little chance that Rainpaw might change...everyone could change, after all. But not everyone wanted to.

Caramelblood chuckled, digging his claws deeper and deeper as he talked to the ThunderClanner. "We'll never be single-pawed. I have my best friend, we have rouges, we have Dusk Syndicate fighters." he started out, explaining how he would never be alone in this. There will always be 'evil', as it's said, in the forest. Caramelblood knew this, and no one would stop him from finding those others like him and banding them together. Hopefully, no one would stop him. The WindClanner did have thoughts of what might happen if he was found out, as he's already slipped up around WindClan's newest leader; Blazingstar. Continuing to press his claws into Hiddentalon's neck, Caramelblood continued speaking. "I plan to stay in WindClan as long as possible, training apprentices in the way. The way of the Dark Forest." he stated with a soft chuckle, knowing it was a pretty good plan if he was careful enough. The cream-ish warrior was pretty much grinning at this, his teeth shown off. It seemed as if he might lunge his muzzle at the ThunderClanner and bite down, though he wasn't going to do that. He still had a few words to speak. "I've already been assigned an apprentice anyways." he chuckled out before suddenly slashing the claws that were dug into Hiddentalon's neck down the side of it. Caramelblood split the skin and drew more blood, knowing the slash would let Hiddentalon most likely bleed out. Stepping back from the ThunderClanner, as he knew he couldn't stop him now, he gave another soft chuckle. "Oh, by the way, the only reason you died her today was because you worshiped StarClan like a mousebrain."
In Hiddentalon's last moments, he was horrified at what this warrior was saying. Didn't their leader know who they were or what they were doing? How could they have gotten away with this for so long that they had an apprentice? The pain in his neck increased as the wounds deepened. He felt his neck and the check that was resting on the ground grow warm and sticky with his own blood. The bleeding was enough to keep the warrior silent while he slowly suffered. When his mouth opened as he tried to say something, the only thing that felt was a bloody cough and a gurgling noise before he was looking at a rabbit hole in his vision. The last thing the cream and white warrior saw was the menacing Windclan warrior. Darkness took over his gaze and his body grew stiff with death.
--
At that moment, Thrushflight reappeared from behind the tree. He was slowly padding up to Caramelblood and arrived at his friend's side as the warrior stiffened with death. "Pity, he could've been a good ally with that spirit, if only he had been fighting for the right team," he sighed, giving a shrug and giving the dead Thunderclanner a good once more. The blood continued to well around his neck and growing to around his shoulders, staining his fur and the light snow around it crimson. Thrushflight took note on how clean the wounds themselves were before suddenly pressing himself against Caramelblood's shoulder. "Good kill though, lengthy, but good," he comment lowly. Just sound enough for his friend to hear, but there was a different tone to it than normal. Almost as if he found the warrior interesting all of a sudden. The chocolate calico pulled his pale blue hues away from the dead warrior and towards Caramelblood, a small light in his gaze. Suddenly the tom leaned forward and gave his friend a small nip on their neck, followed by a soft lick. He then drew himself away from his friend and turned to head back into the territory. "Best to leave him here. No one knows our scents that well and Thunderclan cats can start a war on Windclan this way," he purred momentarily at the thought. It was unlikely, but he knew all too well that there would be commotion about this.

Caramelblood watched as the warrior died in front of him, blood gushing from the ThunderClanner's neck that he had to step back to avoid getting his paws more bloodstained then they already were. "Lengthy kills are nice," he commented back on Thrushflight's comment. "It's great to see the emotion in their eyes before it fades." he added lowly with a soft chuckle. The blue-eyed WindClanner hadn't exactly looked at Thrushflight since he killed the other warrior, basking in the smell of blood draining from his dead victim. It was the first other cat that he had successfully killed, and he was proud of himself for at least a moment there. Though, when his friend suddenly nipped at his neck before licking it softly he let his blue gaze look over at Thrushflight. He wasn't mad or surprised, as his gaze was soft. Though he looked back into WindClan territory after that. "Yeah, I should go wash my paws and hopefully by the time we're done there ThunderClan will have found this warrior and ThunderClan and WindClan will be at each other's throats." he stated.

As the sun shone down upon the rolling hills, a soft breeze flickered through the air and birdsong was audible in the distance. Although the grass on the moor was mostly flattened, a few frond sprung up from the ground, swaying lightly in the gentle wind. Just over a nearly flat rise, the land gave way into dense undergrowth, tall trees sprouting from the soil like statues. Their branches were just beginning to grow new leaves, and the foliage seemed to be coming back nicely, growing in and filling empty spaces where snow had once occupied the land. The faint smell of daisies was pungent on the air as a young warrior came to a stop, taking the time to part her jaws and draw the scent in towards her.

It had been awhile since Heathertail had ventured out of camp alone. She had awoke this morning, much to her disappointment, to Shrikecall buried deep in conversation. It had become their morning ritual to take a walk along the borders, but there were days where the senior deputy had other tasks to attend to. The thought of her best friend having his attention elsewhere didn't so much bother her, but she did miss him during these times. Since their awkward couple moments a couple moons ago on the border, and their talks inbetween, the brown feline found herself growing ever so found of the tom, as he made her heart race and slow all in the same instant. He was able to be himself around her, and that's what the senior warrior loved the most. As she stood atop the hill, gazing out into ThunderClan's territory, a smile curved along her face; everything seemed to be all right with the world just then.

And there was also that one little chance that Rainpaw might change...everyone could change, after all. But not everyone wanted to.

Just glancing at his mentor Rainpaw noticed Obsidiansky's expression, as if his mind were buzzing with thoughts. He could pick up a flash of irritation at one point but the older tom seemed so complex unlike the kittens in the nursery whose thoughts and emotions he could deduce quite easily. Getting too flustered trying to get inside his mentors mind he gave up on it and looked away. For a moment he felt relaxed to not think so hard and just focus on memorizing the territory.
"Ok." Rainpaw replied simply, keeping his tone guarded while on the inside he was feeling more excited to see the other borders.
(So short, sorry!)

The silver warrior was patrolling the borders alone, his gaze stern and unwavering. His adoptive parent had just became the deputy of their clan, and of course he wasn't a little uneasy, he didn't want them to get hurt, he wanted to protect them, wanted to make sure everything was safe. Although he wouldn't state it aloud he knew he was being over dramatic, overly suspicious but he wanted, he needed to make sure no clans would try anything. He heard at the gathering that cats believed that Thunderclan was becoming weak, with Gyrewind stepping down, it worried him. Jayspot was zoning out he heard a rustling a few fox lengths away, a wave or worry hit him, hard. Were his suspicions right? Was someone truly trying to take advantage of Thunderclans High rank switches? The new warrior looked around and spotted a molly standing near the Thunderclan Windclan border, smiling. The black spotted warrior narrowed his eyes and quickly made his way up the slope, the shuffling of his paw steps loud. Some nerve they had. After he was a fox length away he let out a low growl and looked at the molly with a quizzical gaze "What do you think you're doing so close to the border?" he asked calmly, although he was snarling on the inside. He didn't just want to jump to conclusions, not untill he heard the story first.

The brown and white deputy padded along the border, glancing over at his two companions. This was probably a good idea; while Shrikecall was naturally suspicious of a lot of things, ThunderClan was definitely one of the biggest ones. Not to mention Heathertail was heading out this way earlier, his thoughts reminded him. Oh shut up. It was always strange having a conversation with his own thoughts, especially when he knew that they were probably right. Concern for his friend wouldn't allow him to just leave her be. Though she could definitely hold her own. The lightest scent told him that she had been down this way... hopefully she hadn't headed back yet. Who knew? Maybe they would bump into her. Accidentally, of course... at least that was as far as she would know. Yeah. Accidentally. Now he was just going to have to convince himself that there was no other purpose. "See anything?" He asked the other two. So far he hadn't caught sight of the brown feline, but they were still moving fowards... surely she was here somewhere. They couldn't have missed her yet, right? Besides, his eyes were getting worse by the day, it seemed... and yet his other senses were just as strong! But, even he had to admit it would be hard to pick out her scent-- one he thought he would know anywhere-- among all the others. Maybe he was missing something. Or maybe his mind was playing tricks on him as it had been doing as well. Just some of the downsides to getting older, the tom supposed. And, there were a lot of them. He stopped now, just in case he was wrong and the other two ended up seeing something that he was missing. Though, surely he would at least hear something... unless the fact that he didn't want to face was becoming more and more realistic. He was getting much older, and now? Perhaps his senses weren't quite as strong as he would like everyone to think they were. It was a fact that even his own mind had been hiding from him, but at this moment, maybe it was time to come to reason. Still; he refused to believe it, even with the truth staring him in the face-- so to speak.

Marbledtongue trailed eagerly behind the rest of the group. Occasionally casting glances up at shrikecall who lead the small group of windclan cats. He didn't know anybody, Which didn't bother him all to much. Why should it? It just mattered he had Shrikecall. He had grown a trusting bond with the older Tom and was quite fond of him. Proper and organized. Lost in his thoughts the Tom continued on, the light grass tickling his toes. The breeze kissing his cheek gently. It was days like this he enjoyed getting out, seeing more than the confides of a den the fresh kill pile and maybe a yard of the territory for hunting. It was fun to get out and explore. Than a question broke the silence and the massive toms ears perked with interest. What did he say. Mhm. Something about looking at stuff my guess. Judging by the others lack of interest nothing extremely important. than he stopped as shrikecall halted. His head swerved to the side peeking down the assembly line of himself, shrikecall and a cat he didn't actually know. He decided to check and padded past the feline in front of him and came up next to shrikecall. He considered the deputy as a friend. He didn't expect to see much, maybe a rabbit or something. Than before he could even ask he heard it. Soft voices. Getting louder as his ears positioned themselves in the precise direction. He cast a catious glance back at shrikecall. Relizing how much bigger he actually was compared to the slender deputy. He than flciked his attention back to the mystery at paw. "Anybody else hear that?" he asked calmly. Casting a look over his shoulder at the second cat of the patrol. He lashed his long tail and than curled it around his hindleg. His first instinct was to worry. As always here was a disturbance which meant there was an outlet of things he had something to worry over. He was no warrior he was a worrier. She he eagerly pawed at the grass, his question was out in dead air. Sitting there.

starfall Lonestar23 Lilly Raine

A light grey tabby trailed after the other two cats. Lilypelt was rather quiet today. Well, quieter than usual anyway. The she-cat kept to her thoughts and didn't speak unless needed. Not long ago the molly had been asked to go out on a patrol with the deputy and another fellow warrior. Of course, the she-cat had agreed. Lilypelt always agreed. The warrior wasn't one to complain and simply did what was asked. However, while she agreed to many things, she knew how to stand up against absurd requests. Like jumping off a cliff for the fun of it. If she was lucky than she wouldn't die of such a feat. Sighing, the tabby lifted her head. Most of her days were now spent moping. What else could she do? She'd lost the only family she'd ever had (apart from her kits) and she couldn't seem to find anything that would excite her life once again. Her life was a sad one and the warrior doubted that it would change any day soon. The she-cat didn't have many friends to turn to either. Mostly because she was shy, and she didn't wish to socialise. Well, sometimes she did, but she found it hard to just walk up to someone and start up a conversation. Taking a short glance at her companions, she noticed how she only knew the name of one of them. Shrikecall. And that was because he was the deputy, and she had also had a short conversation with him the other day. And then shortly gazing at the other tom, she could conclude she'd never noticed him before. He was unfamiliar, but even so she wasn't intent on finding out who he was. The deputy's question broke through her thoughts and the she-cat's ears pricked attentively. She quickly scanned the territory before shaking her head. A quiet 'no' was all that she let out. A few moments later Lilypelt only realised that the two toms had suddenly stopped and halted as well, narrowly missing bumping into the both of them. The warrior opened her mouth to ask if something was wrong, before quickly shutting it. For a moment, silence was all that there was. Lilypelt's mind started to wander when suddenly, some sort of sound broke through to her ears. It was quite soft, so the she-cat strained her ears to hear it properly. Was she hallucinating? She couldn't see anything, but she was almost certain that she could hear something. Glancing at her fellow clanmates, she was pretty sure that she wasn't imaginating things either. They seemed to have noticed something as well. At the other warrior's question, Lilypelt found herself nodding in response. "It's sounds like it's coming from over there," she remarked quietly, waving her tail in the direction she was thinking it'd come from. Her pale yellow hues widened ever so slightly. She had spoken without even thinking about it. The words had just tumbled out without a thought. Things seemed to get stranger for this she-cat with each passing day.

His adoptive parent had just became the deputy of their clan, and of course he wasn't a little uneasy, he didn't want them to get hurt, he wanted to protect them, wanted to make sure everything was safe. Although he wouldn't state it aloud he knew he was being over dramatic, overly suspicious but he wanted, he needed to make sure no clans would try anything.

Jayspot was zoning out he heard a rustling a few fox lengths away, a wave or worry hit him, hard. Were his suspicions right? Was someone truly trying to take advantage of Thunderclans High rank switches? The new warrior looked around and spotted a molly standing near the Thunderclan Windclan border, smiling. The black spotted warrior narrowed his eyes and quickly made his way up the slope, the shuffling of his paw steps loud. Some nerve they had. After he was a fox length away he let out a low growl and looked at the molly with a quizzical gaze "What do you think you're doing so close to the border?" he asked calmly, although he was snarling on the inside. He didn't just want to jump to conclusions, not untill he heard the story first.


Ears twitching as the sound of approaching pawsteps alerted Heathertail to company, the she-cat turned her head to see Jaysong coming up along the ThunderClan side of the border. She dipped her head, meeting his gaze to show that she posed no threat. "Hello. I mean no threat to ThunderClan. I was simply taking a walk on WindClan's side of the border," she explained, although added a little emphasis to 'WindClan'. After all, she had not crossed the border, and she was about a fox-length away from it. Plus, it was just Heathertail out here by herself; surely this young tom didn't think she planned to invade the border all by her lonesome? Instead, she smiled and waved her tail in greeting. "How's the prey running in ThunderClan?" she asked, trying to start up small talk. The older brown feline wasn't one to start border quarrels, and despite the warrior code also didn't mind having a few aquaintences from the other Clans. It helped her at Gatherings, when they were all thrown into one big pool to "socialize". Most of the time, though, she kept to herself, or Shrikecall if he wasn't busy, but the deputy's attention was always required elsewhere it seemed, and Heathertail wasn't about to invite herself over to sit where the other deputies sat. Now, her eyes glimmered as she smiled softly at the other warrior, waiting patiently for his answer, sincerely hoping everything was well since Gyrestar - now Gyrewind again - had stepped down. "I trust that Snowstar is doing a marvelous job in leading the Clan?"

[Random Melody]

( Empress Of Evil Hexict )
Snowstar was angry.

Not fuming, 'im-gonna-kill-everyone-in-sight-because-im-mad' angry, but still pretty ticked off. And you could easily tell from her expression. Her usually sparkling blue eyes had lost their spark and now held a sense of determination, as well as anger. The Siamese gave a soft lash of her black tail, glancing back to make sure the two warriors were following her to the border. Stormstrike and Finchcall. She'd chose them herself. Stormstrike because she knew her mate, her best friend in the whole wide world, would defend her and ThunderClan if a battle broke out. And Finchcall because she knew of his outstanding loyalty, she trusted her new friend. Not to say she didnt trust her Clanmates, but these were just the cats she trusted the most.

Snowstar paused, and took a deep breath to control the anger bubbling up, trying to calm herself down. She didnt like being like this. It just wasnt her, to get so angry over something. But how could she sit by passively when one of her warriors had been brutally murdered at the border and just left there, with WindClan scent clinging to their pelt? The thought of it had her short white fur pricking up again, and her black ears laid back against her head. The smell was unmistakable, WindClan all over it. Snowstar had controlled her anger long enough to hold a vigil and burial, but after a long night of thinking, she decided something. That wasnt something Snowstar would just let slide. A WindClan cat was responsible for Hiddentalon's death. It was clear. The young leader couldnt identify the exact cat, but it was WindClan alright. And she wasnt too happy about that, either.

[Empress Of Evil]

Stormstrike’s mind was a blur right now. First, he had had to deal with the shock of hearing that Gyrestar had resigned and now Snowstar was the leader, after having only been deputy for one moon. Although to the stormy pelted warrior, one moon had felt like it had whipped by much quicker than it really had. Stormstrike had been surprised when he had done a bit of counting and realized that one moon had passed just like that. Well I guess you could say that that’s what happens when you’re life gets better with each passing day. Honestly Stormstrike still couldn’t believe that so much had happened in such a short period of time. And now, to ruin the peace that ThunderClan had been experiencing ever since Ratnight and Fennelstrike had been removed from their position, WindClan decided to step in. Maybe they just thought it would be entertaining to kill one of ThunderClan’s warriors. And maybe, they thought they would be able to get away with it without anyone taking action against WindClan, or even noticing. Well if that’s what the killers had been thinking, they had been deeply wronged. ThunderClan cats weren’t heartless and would always notice when a clanmate was missing. And even if they hadn’t, rumours would spread. Rumours would always spread, and when they did, they spread out quickly. It is like a fire burning through a dry forest on a hot green-leaf day. Fires were never a nice thing, and having a forest for a territory often meant that ThunderClan was more exposed to fires than most of the other clans. Except perhaps ShadowClan and SkyClan, the warrior was pretty sure that they had lots of trees in their territories as well. Well, more like he was certain that ShadowClan had lots of trees, and he was pretty sure that SkyClan did too.

SkyClan. At first, Stormstrike had always wondered if they were really going to settle their clan in a territory not very far from the other four. And it turned out that they had. They had gone and marked their territories and they’d been respectful enough to go mark it in a place where none of the other clans had already claimed theirs. However, the tom had heard that they had instead managed to disturb another group. The warrior wasn’t going to call them a clan, because they weren’t. What was their name again? The Dusk Syndicate? Yes, he was pretty sure that’s what it was called. Stormstrike had heard rumours that they were cruel cats and were stirring up trouble with SkyClan. This had made the grey tom rather edgy about that group and he knew that he could only hope that they weren’t planning on hurting ThunderClan in any way. Despite them being another clan, the warrior couldn’t help but pity SkyClan. While they were probably used to dealing with trespassers in their old territories, he doubted that they had ever had to deal with such a cruel group. Stormstrike wasn’t sure if ThunderClan had ever had trouble with the Dusk Syndicate. And if they had, then he certainly couldn’t remember it. If the Dusk Syndicate were to cause trouble in ThunderClan, Stormstrike would tear them apart without a hesitation. He was a loyal warrior and he refused to let anyone hurt his clan. In a heartbeat he would give up his life for the sake of his clan. The warrior wasn’t normally a very confident cat, in both himself and what he did, however that completely changed when he was defending his clan. Perhaps it was anger that drove him. But even so, Stormstrike was pretty hard to anger. He was a polite and well mannered to, that respected everyone around him.

In attempt to clear his mind of his thoughts, the stormy furred warrior shook his head. Sometimes it just helped the tom to get rid of everything that was going through his mind. It made him relax and just focus on the present. Being the type of cat that he was, it was especially good for him to clear his mind of all his thoughts. And by ‘type of cat’ I mean he’s the type of daydreaming cat that’s always thinking about something. It was a habit that had stuck with him ever since he was a kit. At a young age, he mostly just thought about doing something. As he grew older though, he started taking action and he did a few things that he had only ever thought he would dream about. Stormstrike had to admit that as a kit, he had been a bit of a coward. He hadn’t been like most kits, he hadn’t been very keen on venturing outside of the nursery. He had much preferred to next to the warmth of his mother’s fu-stop it! He was doing it again. When he had cleared his mind he had only gotten a result of thinking about another thing. This was getting really hard for him. Sighing, he looked around. They had arrived at the border. His eye’s narrowed as the scent of WindClan border markings hit him. Stormstrike found himself wrinkling his nose in disgust. Truth be told, the warrior thought that all the other clans smelt rather bad. He would never admit it though, for the fear of offending them. After all, he already wasn’t that popular in his own clan, having a feel bullies for his dreamy nature, so he especially didn’t need any enemies from the other clans. He doubted he had any though, seeing as he wasn’t one to interact with cats from the other clans. Stormstrike was a loyal tom, but that wasn’t quite the reason. It was more so that he was a tad bit shy and preferred to just stick with what he had. He liked the friends that he had, even if he didn’t have many.

Stormstrike suddenly felt anger quickly rising up in him as he remembered the reason as to why they were here. They were here to deal with a murder. It angered the tom to know that a fellow clanmate had been murdered. A few days ago, the tom hadn’t felt any resent towards WindClan, now all that he did feel was anger and hatred. It also send shivers down his spine, knowing that there was a cat out there that was cruel enough to commit such a crime. But then again, he had had plenty of time to mingle in amongst evil cats before, in the time of the second Evil Era. Stormstrike hadn’t been alive in the time of the first Evil Era, although he wasn’t complaining, one had been enough for him. Looking across the border, he couldn’t see any WindClan cats. He was pretty sure he could see a few dots in the distance, although they were too far away for him to tell if they were just small shrubs, or cats. Looking at his companions, Snowstar in particular, he opened his mouth to ask a question. “So do we have a plan as to what we’re going to do? Or are we improvising?” Stormstrike asked, a questioning tone taking over his voice, the anger in his eyes never washing away.

The dark grey warrior lashed his long furred tail as the patrol set out. Though the tom seemed to be out of touch with his feelings for a few moons now, he found that he had no trouble hating the Windclanners who murdered one of his clan-mates. The tom dug his claws into the softening ground as them padded towards the Windclan border. He was sure that the two with him were furious with Windclan as well - no Thunderclan-loyal warrior could continue emotionless after one of their own had been murdered by another clan.

Finchcall had been surprised when Snowstar had selected him to be apart of her patrol to go and confront Windclan about their recent activity. He found that his yellow orbs kept shifting towards his leader and her mate, whom also happened to be on the patrol as well. He was sure that she had only chosen those that she trusts to accompany her on such a sensitive issue and the tom was both proud and flattered that she trusted him enough.

Although he was proud, at the moment he wasn't thinking about that. One thing after another, huh? He thought. First the fires that destroyed most of their territory, then Ratnight's reign of tyranny, and finally the Liberation battle that freed them of Ratnight... could they not catch a break? Finchcall felt like Thunderclan was being tested or something. Why was so much happening in such a short amount of time? Not only did they loose Ashstar shortly after he regained leadership over the clan, but Gyrestar recently resigned as well. Not to mention that some time after the death of their medicine cat apprentice, their medicine cat resigned leaving them without one for a bit.

The dark tom blinked and shook out his fur as he was brought back to reality. He turned his attention towards Stormpelt as the latter spoke up, breaking their silence. Finchcall's ears twitched at the question. He tried his best to act mature about the situation, to not let anger control his thoughts and movements - but the tom got over-emotional about these kinds of things. He was the protective kind and hated that one of his own clan-mates had been killed. "'Plan'?" There was a harshness in his tone, but it was directed towards the murderer more than Stormpelt. "Yeah; we're going to make who ever did this confess to it and then they will pay. There's no way they're going to get away with murdering one of our own," his tail gave quick lashes. He hadn't really known Hiddentalon, but did that really matter? Maybe he wasn't close to the victim, but it still hit him close.

Finchcall turned away and glared at the ground as he realized that he may have been out of line to snap like that, even if his anger wasn't directed to the other tom. He didn't apologize and was still angered by the situation, but in his burning eyes were an apology meant for Stormpelt due to his rudeness. Has Windclan not have enough murder already? After Singenight was driven out... he had killed some of their clan-mates, right? Did he leave them wanting more blood-shed? Is that why they were attack Hiddentalon? He didn't really care if it made sense.

Snowstar didnt say anything for a long moment, half afraid she would lash out with anger at her mate and friend. So she stayed eerily silent, the only hint that she was angry being the lashing of her tail and the dark look in her ice blue hues. Snowstar wasnt easily angered, mind you, but this wasnt something she would just let happen. Hiddentalon had been murdered, by a WindClan cat. How many times had this happened before? How many ThunderClan warriors had been slaughtered by WindClan? She was almost certain it wasnt the first time. And if she didnt do anything about it now, it wouldnt be the last.

Snowstar had to remind herself to slow down, realizing her pace had quickened with each furious step she took. Rage was practically coming off of her in waves. Just a few days ago, at the gathering in fact, Snowstar had had no trouble with WindClan. In fact, she remembered gently touching her tail to Blazingstar's shoulder in comfort when he seemed upset about Dapplestar's recent demise. Thinking back, it disgusted her completely now. WindClan had seemed fine then, but now murdering one of her warriors in cold blood? Too far, sir, too far!

Pausing when she heard Stormstrike's question, Snowstar glanced toward him, seeing the anger in the gray Tom's eyes. Her mate was just as angry as she was, if not angrier. "I--" She began, but hardly had time to get her sentence out before Finchcall had replied to Stormstrike, snapped, rather. Snowstar had to refrain herself from digging her claws into the ground; She could already feel them slowly unsheathing just from thinking about what WindClan had done! And Finchcall's snapping attitude wasnt seeming to help. Snowstar knew none of this was his fault, and she went over this thought several times before she spoke, trying to sound calm. "We're just going to talk with Blazingstar." She huffed, turning her gaze to the border. Her eyes sharpened slightly.

"We're not trying to start a fight," The Siamese added slowly and precisely, glancing toward Finchcall as she spoke. "We're here to talk, only. So dont say anything that could start a battle, especially not while theres only three of us." She lashed her tail again, trying to sound neutral to her Clanmates, as she constantly had to remind herself not to snap. She could still feel the fury, only she was trying to contain it.

"Come on, Quailpaw!" Lichenpaw called over his shoulder, bounding a few tail-lengths ahead of the patrol. His tail was flicking happily, the young tom eager to burst into a run. They were almost at the border, and he had the biggest urge to run ahead and see if anything interesting was going on. Maybe they'd find a rabbit or something. Even if they weren't on a hunting patrol, who was going to pass up the chance of bringing back prey? The Clan needed to regain its strength after leaf-bare. Opening his mouth and pricking his ears, Lichenpaw lifted his head to try and catch the scent of prey, but all he could smell was the border as they approached it.
The ThunderClan scents were fresh and strong, even from this far. That was... rather odd. Shaking his head and continuing down the hillside, Lichenpaw let his fur fluff up in anticipation as he looked at the trees ahead.He never really enjoyed being under the trees. It was too confining, too small. He much preferred the open grass and the sky above him, where he could see everything and feel the breeze through his fur. Lichenpaw bounced on his feet, looking back over his shoulder again. He waved his tail for the other two cats, Ghostlygrin and Quailpaw, to hurry their steps and come on. He had too much energy to just walk to the border, he wanted to run.

Ears twitching as the sound of approaching pawsteps alerted Heathertail to company, the she-cat turned her head to see Jaysong coming up along the ThunderClan side of the border. She dipped her head, meeting his gaze to show that she posed no threat. "Hello. I mean no threat to ThunderClan. I was simply taking a walk on WindClan's side of the border," she explained, although added a little emphasis to 'WindClan'. After all, she had not crossed the border, and she was about a fox-length away from it. Plus, it was just Heathertail out here by herself; surely this young tom didn't think she planned to invade the border all by her lonesome? Instead, she smiled and waved her tail in greeting. "How's the prey running in ThunderClan?" she asked, trying to start up small talk. The older brown feline wasn't one to start border quarrels, and despite the warrior code also didn't mind having a few aquaintences from the other Clans. It helped her at Gatherings, when they were all thrown into one big pool to "socialize". Most of the time, though, she kept to herself, or Shrikecall if he wasn't busy, but the deputy's attention was always required elsewhere it seemed, and Heathertail wasn't about to invite herself over to sit where the other deputies sat. Now, her eyes glimmered as she smiled softly at the other warrior, waiting patiently for his answer, sincerely hoping everything was well since Gyrestar - now Gyrewind again - had stepped down. "I trust that Snowstar is doing a marvelous job in leading the Clan?"

The silver warrior narrowed his eyes, looking at the older molly through his lashes. Something about the Windclan warrior annoyed him, was it the fact that she didn't find him intimidating? Did she think that he was weak, unable to defend his borders? Did she just not care? It ticked him off immensely, he was a warrior, he may have just become a warrior, but he was indeed a warrior. He lashed his tail and raised his chin so that he could look down on the Windclanner "I don't see you as a threat, just making sure our borders are being respected. After all that is my job as a warrior." he stated, making sure Heathertail knew his rank, and hopefully respected it. Jayspot wasn't used to this, being rude, but after the talk with Mossdrop and after his adoptive parent became deputy he had to. The older Thunderclan warrior helped him realize something, he couldn't just be polite and kind his whole life, that got him nowhere, helped him achieve nothing. He couldn't just sit around and wait for things to come to him, wait for things to pass him by, he had to take charge and that's exactly what he was doing now. The black spotted silver warrior twitched his whiskers "Preys good, tons of mice and birds, all thunderclans of course." he stated, narrowing his eyes at the senior warrior, maybe that's what she was trying to get to, their prey. He kept a close eye on the border, making sure she didn't step over it.

Jayspot really didn't like this molly, she had no respect for him and she treated him like a kit, he wasn't, not anymore. He had enough strength to protect his family, Fennelnose and Remorapaw, they were all he had, all he cared for. He had to change in order to protect them, in order to keep them safe. Although he didn't know if this was the correct way to do it, this is what he was going to go with. Mossdrop pointed something out to him, power was everything. Although he didn't know if the molly was talking about power as in becoming leader, but he was going to use his physical strength, his physical power, to keep them safe. Usually he liked thinking things through, using his intellect to solve problems, make them less violent, more peaceful. But he couldn't do that anymore, not with how much depended on him making the correct choice. "Of course she is! Especially with Fennelnose guiding and helping her." he barked, his fur fluffed up as he got angry, the Windclan warrior was obviously taunting him now, making fun of him. The young warrior saw nothing but red, he took a step forward and lashed his tail "Would you be so kind as to leave? I'm sure that mate of yours is missing you." he growled, remembering that he's seen this particular molly with the Windclan deputy multiple times, those two almost seemed stuck together to the warrior. He let out a snort and grinned "But I bet you only hang around him for the power. I bet you just want to take his place. Finding a good place to kill him, then dispose of the body on Thunderclan territory, trying frame us." he snapped, his mind was blank, nothing he spouted made sense, not even to him. He couldn't think, all he felt at the moment was fear, but fear of what? What was he so scared of? He wished he knew.

By now they were nearly in view of the two cats. He could barely see and hear what was going on, and as they drew closer, he heard the ThunderClan warrior making rude remarks to another cat who he couldn't quite make out yet. Something about her 'mate' and 'killing him.' And now he could see Heathertail. Being bothered by whoever this young, high-and-mighty acting cat was. Glancing back at his two companions, his hues narrowed as he heard what the younger tom was saying to his friend. "Hey!" He snapped, realizing how angry he was. He forgot that he was with other cats. He forgot he had a position, a duty to his Clan to uphold. He forgot that he was in fact, the deputy of that very Clan. All he knew was that this cat was harassing his clanmate and friend... and there was no way he was going to stand for it. He cared very much about her.
She knew that already, of course, but he was going to have to show her probably. It was the nice thing to do. While 'being nice' might not always be in Shrikecall's vocabulary, he was often quite decent. He had the ability at least. "Don't talk to her that way." His teeth were gritted as he stood beside the brown warrior. As though she were nothing more then a clanmate, though his tail brushed up against her in a more protective manner. If that cat said one more thing... Shrikecall already wanted to rip his tongue out. How dare he? For one thing, Heathertail wasn't even bothering him. And for another, it was rude to do that to anyone!
"She's been a warrior since before you existed, ThunderClanner. So I suggest you show her the respect that she deserves. Is this how you talk to all warriors?" A more professional tone, though it was still heavily laced with anger, came from Shrikecall's maw. After all he didn't really have much business scolding another cat. Wasn't this Snowstar's job? That was the new leader, wasn't it? Snowstar? Anyways, it should be her job to keep an eye on fiery young warriors who thought they could do anything they wanted to. Talk any way they wanted to. Though Shrikecall could relate, and believed it to be understandable, it was still obnoxious. And something that he would never settle for. He hoped that the cats of WindClan knew that. And he waited for the younger cat's response, hoping that he would be more respectful towards a deputy.

Marbledtongue was taken aback by the deputy's hostility that suddenly entered his voice. He slightly skid back to a hault as the deputy finally noticed what was going on. A shiver went down the toms spine and he took another unwilling step backwards. He couldn't express how much he hated doing this, or being put into a situation like this all he had where his thoughts. So he peered down the hillside that lead to the thunderclan border. Than at the quarrelling pair. It was his chance to do something right. Don't mess this up. He backed up shrikecalls by flanking his side, second in the patrol line as they approached. He swallows his doubt and put on a stern mask over his worried expression and approached. Taking position just to the left of heathertail. His ears were burning with uneasiness as the thunderclan Tom finished his remark. His claws slid out sourly pricking the grass beneath his paws. He than allowed shrikecall to respond to the comment he settled back on his haunches and watched. His cold eyes trained on the warrior for any signs of hostility.
Just waiting for the Tom to lash out and attack. Which was a mouse brained idea considering thus was a whole windclan patrol vs him. It was mouse brained but certainly something Marbledtongue watched for. Just than. In that moment. What he had said made him jerk inside. A slight snap to his innocent calm and collected side of sanity. He took a step fourth, though Marbledtongue was smaller than these warriors inside. Outside he was massive compared to the, and intimidating to protect his clanmates was worth risking it. "Do you know who you are talking too?" he hissed suddenly. Claws out with extreme hostility bent up in his eyes. "Maybe you should scoot your way back to the trees thunder clanner because it seems your outnumbered, and we won't hold back on your fox faced rear end" he barked instantly. That was exciting enough for him to be content, content to let others handle it from now on. He did take on the responsibility to defend his friend shrikecall. Not that he needed it really. Considering he was a deputy and had experience in handling Mouse brains. Not fearing what repercussions he would face following his snap in personality he gave a slight smirk tot he thunderclan Tom.
Just to end off his level headed threat. He let his hackles lower to show how much he didn't care what he had said originally.

[Empress Of Evil]

Her eyes widened as curiosity and hostility entered her yellow hues. In front of the patrol now, was a fellow clan mate, and a warrior that smelled like he belonged to ThunderClan. Her nose wrinkled in disgust at the scent. Whilst Lilypelt might not ever say it aloud, the she-cat honestly found the scents of the other clans rather unpleasant. Although, perhpaps this was just because she was so used to the scent of her own clan, but then again, she had liked the scent of WindClan from the day she opened her eyes. There wasn't much to not love about WindClan. It was her home and a place that she would never want to leave. Despite the fact that the tabby didn't exactly seem like the cat to give up her life for WindClan in a heartbeat, she would. Sacrifices would have to be made in life, one way or another. Lilypelt believed that she had already had sacrificed precious things for the sake of staying in her clan. Things, that she did not exactly take great pleasure in talking about. It was a sad thing that had happened to her, and she was doing her best to take her mind off it all. But it was much harder than it might seem.
Blinking, Lilypelt turned her attention back to the matter at paw. The warrior had managed to hear a few words the ThunderClan had spoken to Heathertail. It made her teeth clench and eyes narrow. The light grey tabby was a quiet and peaceful cat, however that could always change when it came to defending her clan. It made her angry to know that someone was threatening her home. Without realizing it, the she-cat's claws slid out and unsheathed.
However, her mood slightly changed as the she-cat heard the anger in Shrikecall's voice. Her ears flattened against her head and for a short moment she felt like shrinking back. It made her want to flinch, but as of this moment she really couldn't afford to do so. Any sign like that was a sign of weakness, and that was something that they didn't need. His last sentence was one that she had to agree with. As much as the she-cat loved seeing young cats being free and happy, she had to agree that some cats seemed to have no respect for their elders. It was rather frustrating, although Lilypelt didn't normally say anything against it. She just kept quite. Although, perhaps that would change today. Knowing that this tom was speaking so rudely to a cat who deserved respect, the warrior felt different. She wanted to let out her hostile feelings.
Her lips curled back to reveal a snarl and Lilypelt bared her teeth. This was so unlike her, yet she couldn't help but enjoy this feeling. It had been quite a while since she had felt this strong. She had been born a weak cat, and she had feared that that would never change. The warrior didn't feel like the weak cat she had been born as right now, she felt strong and angry. It was a feeling that she couldn't quite describe. The she-cat parted her jaws to say something when the other tom on the patrol spoke his own words. She waited for him to finished speaking, getting ready for her turn to say something.
"Try anything and you can go home without your ears," Lilypelt warned with a rather threatening tone. Surprise took hold of her for a short moment, although she kept on her eyes narrowed and ears flattened. Had she really just said that? She'd never done something like this. Lilypelt had never had a need to be hostile like this. Yes, the she-cat normally stayed quiet when it came to conflicts on border patrols. Maybe it wasn't what she should be doing as a warrior, but until now she had never worked up the guts to do something like this. What was coming next to surprise her? Sweeping out the surprise in her, she quickly refocused on the rude warrior in front of the patrol.
"Some young cats these days think they're just so smart when they actually have brains the sizes of a small seed," Lilypelt muttered, not quite sure as to who she had spoken that to. But that didn't really matter to her, she was just feeling happy and proud that she had finally spoken out a few feelings of her annoyance.

"Come on, Quailpaw!" Lichenpaw called over his shoulder, bounding a few tail-lengths ahead of the patrol. His tail was flicking happily, the young tom eager to burst into a run. They were almost at the border, and he had the biggest urge to run ahead and see if anything interesting was going on. Maybe they'd find a rabbit or something. Even if they weren't on a hunting patrol, who was going to pass up the chance of bringing back prey? The Clan needed to regain its strength after leaf-bare. Opening his mouth and pricking his ears, Lichenpaw lifted his head to try and catch the scent of prey, but all he could smell was the border as they approached it.
The ThunderClan scents were fresh and strong, even from this far. That was... rather odd. Shaking his head and continuing down the hillside, Lichenpaw let his fur fluff up in anticipation as he looked at the trees ahead.He never really enjoyed being under the trees.

Lichenpaw bounced on his feet, looking back over his shoulder again. He waved his tail for the other two cats, Ghostlygrin and Quailpaw, to hurry their steps and come on. He had too much energy to just walk to the border, he wanted to run.

Quailpaw padded behind Lichenpaw, her ears pricked and one good eye scanning the landscape. She couldn't see how her fellow apprentice could be so excited to be on a border patrol. Quailpaw herself would rather be hunting, or doing something to cause other cats annoyance. Besides, that what Quail lived for. As she watched Lichenpaw disappear over the rise, his tail waving in the air wildly, a thick Thunderclan scent caught Quailpaw's excellent nose. Being half-blind, the she-cat had developed pretty good hearing and scent. Leaving Ghostlygrin behind, Quailpaw broke into a run to catch up with Linchenpaw. Once she reached him, she slowed, turning her head to scan the landscape, her neck craning farther than it should need to, because she only had one good eye. "You smell a strong Thunderclan scent too, right?" She asked Linchenpaw, planning to make sure it wasn't just her. Quailpaw may be a misfit, but she would protect her clan against other clans to the death. And Thunderclan scent this strong could not be good. The brown tabby she-cat fluffed out her fur, preparing for anything that could come their way.

[Empress Of Evil]

The storm coloured warrior could tell that the anger in his companion’s voice was not directed towards him, but even so he couldn’t help but feel rather…. Annoyed? He could understand that Finchcall was annoyed, as was he, however he didn’t see any reason to snap, that didn’t help at all. “I don’t think violence is the answer,” Stormstrike remarked, a warning tone in his voice. No, the tom saw that there was hardly any point in violence. Whilst it might be able to fix a problem sometimes, things could be lost in a great battle. Stormstrike feared, and hoped that this wouldn’t turn into a war between ThunderClan and WindClan. After all, they really had no need for wars after the disruptions that the recent Evil Era had given them. It occurred to Stormstrike that now peace might be a hard thing to find. There were massive problems that were constantly coming their way. But it wasn’t just ThunderClan, he was pretty sure that each clan was going through the same thing.

The warrior wondered if RiverClan and ShadowClan had been experiencing anything similar. No, he didn’t mean the second Evil Era, because he knew that every clan had gone through it. Instead, he meant conflicts with another clan or group. It seemed to him that SkyClan was dealing with the Dusk Syndicate, and ThunderClan were starting to grow thorns directed to WindClan. Had the remaining two clans had any bumpy experiences themselves? Well, perhaps now wasn’t quite the time to wonder about the business of other clans. Right now, he had to focus on the matter at paw and nothing else. Although even that was quite a task for Stormstrike. He had a tendency to get distracted easily, unless it was something that he just couldn’t possibly take his mind off.

As Snowstar replied with her decision, the grey warrior found himself nodding in agreement. That was a much more peaceful way of doing something, despite the violence that would’ve been included in the cause of this all. “Sounds like a good plan,” Stormstrike responded, anger dancing in his eyes, although never showing through his voice. It made him uncomfortable, knowing that if they were indeed attacked, they would be greatly outnumbered. Although, the warrior doubted that either leader would ask their warriors to attack. No one liked going on the path of a fight. It just wasn’t the way. The only bad thing, was that it seemed to him that words hardly ever seemed to solve conflicts between two clans.

Stormstrike could feel the anger bubbling and boiling in him, he always felt an urge to release it out. But he knew that he shouldn’t. His clan mates weren’t the ones who deserved to feel his wrath. However, he knew that he would have to let it out sooner or later. It made him feel impatient, not being able to do anything at the present moment. The stormy pelted warrior hated feeling useless. It wasn’t a very enjoyable thing to feel. The tom just needed to do something. It wasn’t long before he was kneading the ground with his paws, his impatience starting to get to him. It wasn’t very often that Stormstrike was impatient, seeing as he was one of the most patient cat’s around. But he was bound to eventually lose it.

Quickly realising what he was doing, Stormstrike stopped doing what he was doing, knowing that it was nothing but unproductive. The tom sighed inwardly before looking around. When was a patrol going to come around? It seemed strong how any other time he was patrolling he could find a WindClan patrol, yet just this one time there wasn’t one in sight. Of all times of the day, it had to be now. Why couldn’t it have been earlier this morning? Or later tonight. Or maybe they were purposely avoiding patrolling the border between Thunderclan and WindClan? Yes, that was a possibility. Was it likely? Now that was something that the ashen coloured tom couldn’t quite answer. As much as he did hate to admit it, Windclan weren’t lazy and they weren’t massive cowards. But then again, it seemed rather peculiar that they hadn’t managed to find a patrol today. But then again, perhaps one had come earlier and they didn’t plan on sending out another one for a bit. This time, Stormstrike let out an audible sigh. There were so many aspects to this idea and he could just keep on debating with himself about it.

Stormstrike flattened his ears against his head as he took yet another scan of the moor. Nothing really seemed to catch his attention. The moor land was a fairly peaceful place and not much really seemed to rupture it’s peace. The warrior loved all kinds of nature. He was thankful that he had a beautiful world to live in, and it disgusted him to know that some twolegs would want to destroy it all. Stormstrike would be happy wherever he was living, as long as it wasn’t in a twoleg nest. Twolegs seemed like horrid creatures. Things that just wanted to keep you and confine you, giving you weird pellets to eat. Pellets that looked like rabbit dropping. It seemed horrid and Stormstrike was always curious to know as to how kittypets could enjoy that all. But then again, perhaps they were just used to it so they would happily comply when they were given food. This was another thing that this warrior just wouldn’t ever be able to understand.

The tom shook his head, realizing that his mind had yet again wandered off. It was a habit and one that he just couldn’t get rid of. He didn’t mind too much though, it was something that made Stormstrike the cat that he was. It was something he wasn’t willing or wanting to change. He quickly looked across the border again before he let his mind wander off once again. Interest suddenly flashed in his pale blue hues as he spotted some faint spots in the distance. How curious, he thought. He hoped that his mind wasn’t just tricking him. He was getting more impatient by the minute and desperately needed something to do. “Do you see that?” Stormstrike asked the other two cats excitedly. A dark yet excited look in his eyes. To be honest, he kind of looked like he was going to murder someone, although he wasn’t. Stormstrike wasn’t that kind of cat. The thought of murder sent shivers down his spine. It also reminded him of the reason that they were there. His claws unsheathed and he scraped two claw marks through the dirt. He wanted to avenge his fallen clan mate, but he wanted to do it in a way that didn’t require conflict. ThunderClan weren’t the kind of cats to repay the death of a clan mate by doing what the other clan did. No, they preferred peace.

Stormstrike wanted to resolve this, but one way or another, things would get heated between ThunderClan and WindClan. The warrior could just tell that it was going to happen. It didn’t require a fortune teller to know something so obvious. Either way, the stormy pelted tom was curious to know what WindClan would say in their defence. Blazingstar had only been a leader for a few moons and Stormstrike hadn’t had much time to see what kind of a cat he was and how he react to a situation like this. But this was the perfect opportunity for him to see.
“Perhaps they can help us.”

Snowstar merely gave a soft sigh, mostly to herself as she continued leading them through the territory. Her ice blue gaze drifted around the moors, her face kind of blank. It was better to stay like that, to hide the anger away, right? She'd been doing it for a while. Snowstar knew, with everything, her sisters death, her fathers death, her brother and sister turning evil..

Snowstar shouldn't be as happy as she always was. How she kept herself calm and sweet and bubbly was beyond her. Maybe it was because, her Clan meant more to her than all that. Snowstar was one of the few cats that saw the good in everything. She had to stay like that. She wanted to stay like that, for ThunderClan. She wanted to always see the good side, to help them to see it too. Although....Where was the good in this?

The Siamese wasn't calming down, though. Her tail still lashed side to side as she looked around. Her mates meow had her head swiveling around to follow his gaze, seeing a few little specks off in the distance. The young leader squinted, her ears falling back slightly as she tried to get a better look. Cats, maybe? A patrol? Good. Snowstar was wondering when a patrol would come by. In all honesty, she wasnt sure how she managed to keep her patience this long; Snow wasnt a usually...Patient cat. If anything, she was known for her impatience.

"Perhaps." Snowstar echoed, her eyes narrowing slightly as she tried to get a better look once more. Then she shook her head and turned her gaze to Stormstrike. She wanted to lean into him, to bury herself in his gray fur as she usually always did, even before they confessed their love to eachother. She'd always felt at peace around him, as if nothing bad could ever happen. But she had to remind herself that this was happening. This wasnt any time to seek comfort in one another, was it? No....This was a time for seriousness. Something Snowstar wasnt good at, but was learning.

The look in Stormstrike's eyes said it all; He was angry. And for good reason! The anger in her mates eyes brought back her own fury, recalling why they were there in the first place. To be honest, she found it weird that this had occurred after Blazingstar had become WindClan's leader, after Dapplestar's death. The thought caused Snowstar to snort. What a bunch of rabbit-chasing murderers.

The thought just went through her mind, and she inwardly winced. She didnt like this, it wasnt like her to be so angry. To be too angry to see straight. It was just so unlike her usually happy-go-lucky, sweet personality that even she was almost convinced she was another person. But Snowstar shook her head slightly and took a deep breath, beckoning her Clanmates as she continued. She had hardly noticed she was heading toward the figures in the distance until she snapped from her thoughts.

"Okay, guys," Snowstar took a deep breath and straightened up. She wasnt used to taking charge, but she knew she had to right now. "Let me do most of the talking. If a fight breaks out, I need one of you to run to camp as fast as you can and bring backup. Remember, we're just here to talk, nothing more. Violence is never the answer."

Lichenpaw purred happily as Quailpaw joined him, about to rush off again into a race before she spoke. He paused, one paw in the air as he looked over at her. "I thought it was just fresh border markings." he replied. Putting his paw down and lifting his head, Lichenpaw opened his jaws, letting the wind flow through his mouth. No, no, she was right. That was much stronger than a simple border marking. The patched fur on Lichenpaw's spine began to prickle, his tail beginning to fluff up. There was a patrol close by to give off scent that strong. It only took a few more moments for his eyes to fall on the approaching cats, and he stepped closer to Quailpaw, nudging her head with his muzzle and flicking his tail towards them.
"Think there's any chance its those cats?" he asked, though the question was entirely rhetorical. It was obvious that the three cats heading towards them were anything but their own Clan. Lichenpaw lifted his head again, watching them as they began to approach. Even from this distance,
he could recognize the cat leading it. He'd only seen her at Gatherings,
but her pelt was unmistakable. "That's... That's Snowstar." Lichenpaw glanced over to Quailpaw, his ears half-flattened. Whenever a Clan leader came to visit, it couldn't be something good.
"Ghostlygrin!" Lichenpaw turned his head, looking back up the hill to the warrior they'd left to catch up. "ThunderClan cats are coming up this way and.. I think Snowstar's with them!"

Taken aback by the hostility with which Jaysong spoke, Heathertailk blinked, scrunching up her face a bit. Did this ThunderClanner really feel that threatened by an elder warrior who was obviously by herself? Surely she was not appearing to be capable of launching a surprise attack on ThunderClan? Nonetheless, the light brown tabby let out a bit of a snarl; despite her usually dismissive nature, the feline still had WindClan blood in her veins and a warrior spirit in her heart. She was used to a certain amount of respect within her home Clan simply because of the moons of service she had given them. But this tom, she had experience with similar personalities. Thinking that they could waltz over any cat they wanted to with an intimidating stare and mean words. Her normally soft gaze took on the look of piercing ice chips and the growl went from a rumble in her belly to an audible threat. "I would advise you to keep such hostile words to yourself, youngling, before you start something you regret," she said, words coming out through clentched teeth. She wasn't wanting this border skirmish to become anything other than an exchange of a few words - she'd see to it that Blazingstar was aware of ThunderClan's growing hostility towards them - but her claws slid out anyways.

Blinking in surprise as Heathertail heard pawsteps quickly approaching behind her, she turned her head to look over her shoulder, shock covering her expression as she spotted Shrikecall, with Lilypelt and Marbledtongue flanking him. A breath of relief left her body as she spotted the deputy; perhaps he would be able to talk some sense into this newly appointed ThunderClan warrior. When she heard the pure anger in his voice though, she winced a little. Was he angry at her? No, it was apparent in the way his eyes were narrowed towards Jaysong that the deputy's attention was focused elsewhere. It sent a little thrill racing down her spine, and not for the first time she gazed at Shrikecall with admiring eyes. Sure, they weren't mates, but she deeply cared for the tom. He always seemed to be stressed over the future of WindClan, so ever since they had gotten closer she made it her duty to make sure he had enough breaks to just be a normal warrior with her.

Heathertail quickly snapped back to reality as her new companions each spoke towards Jaysong. Turning, she stood next to Shrikecall, allowing him to be close enough that their fur was brushing. "Looks like that deputy is here now. So I'll have to ask you to leave." A strong, firm command came from her, a tone which implied that while she was approaching her elder moons, she was still a remarkable fighter, and knew how to handle mouthy warriors. She rose up herself, matching his height and stared him down, eyes blazing with the light of battle. With Shrikecall and the other warriors by herself, she knew that there was no way this ThunderClanner would stand a chance.
