Rugged Range

[BEAR.]

Formerly SkyClan's territory, RiverClan has recently relinquished its claim to the land.

The terrain is rugged and craggy, with several steep and rocky hills covered in a sprawling forest. This territory is a decent trek away from the Clans, but RiverClan cats still visit this location on occasion for herbs and hunting.

Scarfang trotted ahead, waiting for the rest of the patrol. Him, Yarrowpounce, Raccoontail, Timberspark and Chestnutpaw had been chosen by Frostflight to scout the old SkyClan territory. Why me of all cats? He grumbled to himself. "Why don't we pick up the pace, eh?" He mewed to his patrolmates.

Raccoontail sighed and trudged her way behind Scarfang sleepily. Even though she loved patrols, why while she was sleep though. "We're coming, we're coming," she replied, trotting to catch up with the patrol leader. Glancing behind her she wondered what was taking the others so long to come.

Yarrowpounce felt a little frustrated that Scarfang trotted ahead of everyone, he was trying to keep the pace slow so they could conserve energy. They had a long walk to the territory and now they had to spend some time scouting it out. Even Frostflight said to take it slow and steady, sleep in shifts, be careful.
"Scarfang, can I ask you to slow down please? I-I'm leading the patrol.." His voice was small, but he was trying. He tried his best not to be a pushover, but he's been through a lot and he was learning, one day he'd get his spine back.
At this point he wasn't even sure which of his patrol members were Skyclan cats. Everyone had begun to blend together sometime within the past moon or two. He knew he was Skyclan, he'd been Skyclan since before they even moved here. When they were still in the mountains.
"We should be keeping a steady pace, c-conserve our energy. We don't know what we'll find out there. T-There could be foxes, or badgers, rogues, old D-Dusk Syndicate cats.." Flicking his ear, Yarrowpounce glanced about, trying to keep his senses attuned to their surroundings while also trying to keep everyone in a group and not wandering off. They were a patrol, this wasn't a field trip for apprentices.

Scarfang looked back at Yarrowpounce. "My bad." He apologized to the tom, slowing to a stop so that the tom could take the lead. "I didn't mean to take over. I didn't even notice I did." He genuinely felt bad. Having his son had taught him patience and humility, which he didn't have a lot of before.

Chestnutpaw glanced at Frostflight and slowed his pace down What made Fallenstar think he was worthy of being deputy in the firs place. He stammers too much. Of course, Chestnutpaw knew his place and would never disrespect the deputy or any warrior.

The dusty tom seemed to be in awe as the group entered the old but familiar territory that was originally skyclan. He looked left and right , bushy tail flicking slightly as he didn't seem to notice he was at the back of the group. Hearing Scarfangs call , he snapped back to reality , quickly catching up to the group , a large smile on his maw. "Sorry about that!" Timberspark hummed to the other tom , going back to looking at the rugged and rocky terrain. Despite living in Riverclan for so long now , he couldn't help but feel as if he was at home.

He'd glance to Yarrowpounce as the tom spoke about potential dangers. "Im sure we could easily take down a fox or Dusk Syndicate cat , Yarrowpounce." He meowed , though slightly doubting his statement , it couldn't hurt to try and lighten the seemingly nervous toms mood. His gaze would soon go back to the territory , though every now and then he'd look forward to catch up with the warriors and apprentice.

Raccontail glanced around the old Skyclan territory. She didn't like the smell for some reason but decided not to say anything. Sighing, she picked up the pace since she had fallen behind where she was originally at. You're doing this for the sake of the clan she reminded herself, her ears turning every which way to listen for anything. With that in mind, and putting some pep in her step, she glanced around at her patrol mates curiously. No one else seemed to be thinking anything of being here, but she had a small unease at being in another clan's territory, even if the clan now lived with them. Shrugging it off, she continued along, hoping they would be back home soon.

Scarfang trotted over to Timberspark. "So, how are you?" He asked to tom. He felt a little awkward. He had very little interaction with his clanmates, even as a kit. He wanted to be more than just a thorn in somecats backside. He wanted to make some friends.

Sighing quietly in relief as Scarfang backed off and the group became more of a concise patrol as opposed to a group spread out thinly to explore the now abandoned territory. At least that was one less thing they would have to warrior about. 'Stick together, check.' If they were attacked, they could be attacked as a group, increasing their survival chances. Though the territory was recognizable, it could very easily be hostile now that Skyclan no longer inhabited it.
"Speak up if any of you are being tired.. I know it's been a long walk from Riverclan. We can scout out a place to make a small temporary camp b-before sundown if you'd like." Spoke the tom, glancing to the other faces of the patrol.
"Or we can continue to move through and analyze the territory for dangers until sundown and just wait to make a-a small resting area. We'll be here for a few days, b-but I think making a small b-base of operations is important.." As he spoke, he continued to move, unless someone gave the notion that they wanted to stop. There were things to do and even though his paws were tired, he would continue to move until someone else wanted to stop. This patrol wasn't about him, this was for the good of the clan itself. This territory, if still safe, could provide the clan with much needed resources that Riverclan territory just didn't have.
