risingstorm stood moving his leg into a comfortable position slightly off the ground as he looked at wolfhive. rising didn't think he got hurt my the fix maybe a cut here and there but nothing to serious, nut he would go anyways, then his head perked up ... wolfhive's words rang through him like a bell I'm making you both Hornets, effective immediately. what a hornet was this a dream? he thought shaking his head like a wet dog Wait it want a dream this was truly happening wasn't it ? he had reached his goal being a hornet he swallowed " A-Aliright " the warrior the hornet meowed shaking slightly nodding his head " will do. a proud smile grew on his face rising was proud of himself.

Brackenclaw- He/Him, 25 moons old, Thunderclan Hornet. Purrks: Just a Scratch.

Brackenclaw would be a bit stunned for a second. Brackenclaw had never done anything with the idea of being acknowledged by others. Not even Wolfhive or any of the other Hornets. Brackenclaw simply did everything he did cause Thunderclan needed it. Still Brackenclaw respected Wolfhive too much to say as much instead he would simply bow his head in respect and meow. "Thank you Wolfhive I will do everything I can to live up to your expectations." Brackenclaw meowed his dark and deep voice always made Brackenclaw sound more menacing than he intended. But Brackenclaw had always shown that those who were around him had no reason to fear him unless they were his enemies. Brackenclaw didn't smile but that was okay the pride shining in his orange eyes likely allowed the other two cats to tell he was feeling just as proud to be named a Hornet as Risingstorm was. For a split second Brackenclaw felt his thoughts going towards his only friend Orangeblossom. Although the talkative cat was the farthest thing from Brackenclaw Orangeblossom didn't seem to mind Brackenclaw's looks, sound, or his lack of chattiness. Still Brackenclaw couldn't help but wonder. 'I wonder how Orangeblossom will take this when he learns about me becoming a Hornet.' Brackenclaw thought to himself. @BEAR. @Spider.

"Of that I have no doubt." Wolfhive beckoned them to join him as he started to head back to camp. "Get checked out, then both of you can meet me in Bumba's den. We'll do a rundown of duties and expectations. I'll also be informing her you both have officially been promoted so the Clan will know by the next meeting."

[ @Lightningpaw666 @Spider. Wolf will be in the leader's den! Fill out the healing request and just meet me in there when you're ready - the leader den roleplay will be based after their healing so you're free to post there immediately if you desire just to keep things moving. ]

- He/Him - 8 Moons - ThunderClan Medicine Cat -
- A large dark brown tom with a darker back and lighter underbelly, a missing hind leg -

Wolfpaw shot a glare to Pinepaw. He knew the older cat was just trying to make him feel better, but honestly? It didn't help. "I'm perfectly capable of defending myself, thank you very much," he growled. No, he was not capable of defending himself. Now that everyone was there, he set out, hopefully with the two older cats in tow.

The brown tripod hobbled through the territory, fur bristled. Sure, the predators were gone, but he still didn't like it. What if they came back? Soon, they were close to haggard ruins. Something felt... familiar. Green hues scanned the area and-

oh no.

He spotted a fallen tree, not that big in size, but big enough to crush a cat. It seemed like it was moved, and it was. He knew that. His lips curled into a snarl. That. Starsdamned. Tree! That was the same tree that crushed his leg! The memories of the pain came flowing back to him, as well as the feeling of his crushed leg. Well, not really 'feeling' per-se, as he couldn't feel it once Wolfhive and Sproutfleck got him out from under the tree.

"Let's get a move on, I don't want to be here," he snarled, quickly hobbling away. He cast one final glance to the fallen tree before moving to where it was out of sight. Soon, they reached the ruins. A sinkhole. He remembered mama telling him about how they used to live in an old camp before it became a sinkhole. Wolfpaw shuddered at the sight. "Let's grab the herbs and go. Wild garlic can be found on the forest floor, n hey got a sharp n tangy scent, and grow in patches, n have dark green leaves," he said, quickly briefing the patrol on their assigned herb. "If you find somethin else, call me over n i'll see if we could use it for somethin," he added before starting his search.

[Roll: 5, 20, 4. Success!]
[+3 Wild Garlic]

So far, there was no luck on finding Wild Garlic. The tripod medic searched high and low, but there was none to be found. "Starsdamnit," he muttered, kicking a rock with his paws. Right as he was about to move on, he spotted some dark green leaves in the corner of his eye, accompanied by the tangy scent. Bingo! The tom hobbled over, grabbing a few.

[Roll: 1, 1, 9. Failed]

As the tom hobbled back over to his patrolmates, he spotted something. Catmint!! Wolfpaw headed over, a grin on his maw. With the cold season approaching, it could be useful. To wolfpaw's horror, it was no good. The leaves had been crushed by something. "Come on!" he hissed through a mouthful of herbs. This was just unlucky.

The brown tom hobbled back to his patrolmates, dropping his findings so he can speak clearly. "Found some wild garlic, and some catmint but it was crushed," he told them, waiting for them to show their collection.

The hornet glanced a look at wolfpaw growling at pinepaw, but paid little attention to it not his rodeo - the tom limped out of camp into haggard ruins Risingstorm had been here a few times once when killing the foxes and after the whole thing he was made a hornet; rising smiled remembering that he felt proud that he was given his rank, but was he even good enough to do that was he good enough to protect his clan… rising took a deep breath and shook the thought off it was for sleeping rising not awake rising.

Oh?

Rising caught wolfpaws snarl and glanced over noticing a fallen tree, oh it must have been the one that took wolfpaws leg the tom thought heading off behind wolfpaw making sure pinepaw stayed with the group. The hornet parted away with the patrol a bit…Why on earth was he the only warrior here he thought for a moment puzzled- ehh he was a hornet could he fight something if it came near, probably. The hornet wasnt watching where he was going and slammed his paw into a tree root catching a toe “TREE RATS” he cursed shaking his brown paw with a small hiss- Gah he stubbed his toe and it hurt for a short moment before fading away now onto finding herbs.

Risingstorm sniffed the air and looked around for wild garlic, finding a small clump gathering the herbs in his maw, being careful not to damage them. Once rising got a good amount before returning back towards wolfpaw once rising came back he waited for pinepaw to return as he heard wolfpaws side of the patrol - wait crushed herbs? The hornet thought “ Ya found crushed herbs? he asked wolfpaw if it was never good to have crushed herbs hopefully it was just some prey that got into it.

______________________________

Bringing up the rear of the patrol, he looked around Haggard Ruins. The groan of the earth freaked him out a bit, but he decided he wouldn't be bothered. Green eyes flicked to a fallen tree, and at Wolfpaw's snarl, he realized that was the one who had crushed him. How unstable was it to have fallen that easily? Or was it purposefully felled? He quickly turned to lend a sympathetic gaze towards Wolfpaw.

Pinepaw rolled a 13, 8, 14. Success!
+2 Marigold

Lowering his nose to the ground, Pinepaw quickly sniffed out a patch of marigold. Picking it up, he returned to the starting point and dropped off 2 marigolds.

Pinepaw rolled a 13, 14, 20. Major success!
+3 Poppy

His nose caught the scent of poppy. It wasn't what they came for, but he'd grab it either way. It was useful. Following the scent trail, he saw the herb. Running towards it, Pinepaw carefully grabbed the stalks and carried them back to the herb pile he'd created. Dropping them off, he began to search for more.

Pinepaw rolled a 8, 16, 2. Success!
+2 Juniper

Padding in the direction nobody had gone yet, he let his nose lead him towards a juniper patch. Pinepaw sniffed, grabbing the few healthy berries there still were. Holding them gently in his jaws as to not crush them, Pinepaw added to the pile.

Pinepaw rolled a 4, 19, 11. Success!
+1 Catmint

Following Wolfpaw, he smelled the strong scent of catmint. Tapping his tail, he dropped low to the ground and sniffed through the crushed stalks, finding one good one. Delicately picking it, he returned to the patrol and placed it on the pile. "That's all I can carry. I managed to get one good catmint stalk, but the rest were crushed, like Wolfpaw said." Curling his striped tail around his paws, he waited for them to leave.

He turned his head as Pinepaw and Risingstorm reported their findings. So Pinepaw found some extra stuff, as well as being able to salvage some catmint. "You," the medicine cat stated firmly to the apprentice. "You're teaching me those other herbs when we get back," he deadpanned, waving his tail. "No reason to stay here any longer, let's head back," Wolfpaw said before picking up his herbs and hobbling back to the direction of camp.

[The patrol is done!! No need to post anymore unless you want your character to 'head back to camp' as well; I'll update the patrol menu accordingly !!]

Pinepaw looked at Wolfpaw as he told him to teach him the herbs. "I will!" he said with a grin. Nodding, he followed Wolfpaw back to camp, weaving through the foliage as they headed home.

It wasn't everyday Mothflame got a chance to talk and spend time with the higher ranking cats in ThunderClan. The last time it had happened, well... If Risingstorm counted as a "high ranking" ThunderClan cat, then sure. She hadn't expected she'd be taking the deputy with her on a hunting patrol.

As she neared the Haggard Ruins, Mothflame slowed down to gently taste the air, mouth parting slightly. Scenting nothing too big, the rosetted she-cat turned to Spiderthroat with a warm smile.

"Thank you for agreeing to come with me, it's nice, really," a soft purr rumbled from her throat as her single eye scanned the Ruins for any signs of scurrying prey. "Won't take too long, I'll promise ye that. Just a quick huntin' and we can go back. Does that sound good to you?"
