Event [#event]

It appeared that everyone was content with her announcement. Twilightstar's single green eye roved over those who gathered. There would be a tense unease with many of her cats. She knew more than a few would be on the lookout, waiting for ShadowClan to attack them while their backs were turned. She couldn't blame them for their caution, Twilightstar would never trust ShadowClan completely. But for this instant, she couldn't have her cats getting distracted and jumped by minks because they were worried about ShadowClan.

Her gaze landed on Lightningstorm as she turned away apprentices who sought to aid her, seeming exceptionally touchy about Orangepaw, and rightfully so. It sounded like the apprentice was going through her herb stock. The mention of poison had Twilightstar's fur bristle uncomfortably. Orangepaw had requested to remain in the elders' den, not the medicine cats. That was going to have to be something sorted later.

Twilightstar blinked slowly as the medicine cat made her way over to her. Her ears dropped to her head in thought after hearing Lightningstorm's request. Bravebird was one of Twilightstar's most experienced warriors, and she's fought with the minks twice now. She had to leave Batglare behind as well to guard the camp... Twilightstar wasn't keen on having Bravebird sit out as well. However, Lightningstorm made a fair point to be on guard and Twilightstar had said she could take whoever she wanted.

Keeping Lightningstorm safe and helping the medicine cat was equally important as winning this fight. "Yes, you can take Bravebird. I'm not sure how delighted she'll be having to sit out of a battle, but I doubt she'll make a fuss about it." She told Lightningstorm. Turning, Twilightstar eyed the three furies who seemed rather pleased with their new ranks. She ignored her son's distasteful glare.

"Bravebird, you'll be staying with Lightningstorm. Do not stray from her side." Twilightstar order. Twilightstar wondered why Bravebird out of all cats had been chosen. She hadn't been aware that Lightningstorm trusted her so much. She didn't dwell on the thought for too long. Her gaze swept around the cats once more, figuring they were as ready as they would be, Twilightstar stood and waved her tail.

"Let's go," Twilightstar commanded her clanmates and headed out. Even though she heard some younger cats wishing to go, their mentors would have to sort that out themselves. While walking down the hill and into the prairie, Twilightstar cast her gaze skyward. Dawn dominated the sky and she could hear birds singing in nearby bushes. There were birds of prey in the sky, but so far away they were no more than a claw scratch.

Taking that as a good sign, Twilightstar led her warriors beyond the prairie and to the Sky Glade, a spacious field where a lone pine towered above them. Behind the pine, a dense forest with twisted branches sits in shadows, silent and dark. Not interested in getting her paws muddy, Twilightstar signaled for the clan to stop at the Lonely Pine. There was no need to go up to the Whispering Wetlands.

"We'll wait here until ShadowClan arrives." Twilightstar turned to survey the patrol with a bright eye. Tensing her lean muscles, she threw herself upwards, climbing atop a low-hanging branch on the pine tree. "I know you don't like them, but do try to play nice with the toads, tackling this problem alone would prove difficult." Twilightstar remained the clan.

She could see Dawnstar taking ShadowClan home if WindClan was too prickly about this. They'd have to split into different patrols to tackle the Falls and Hills. If Fallownose were here, she'd feel a bit better about being unable to watch over whomever she didn't go with. But he was stuck in StarClan. She supposed this would be a good time to see how well the Furies do with their new authority.
