WindClan Clearing

Silentleap leaped silently.
Asterblink groomed their fur.
Lynxyowl played around with a leaf.

Grubpaw came out of his den sleepily.
"nice to see you awake" Fourshadow came over to prod the groggy tom awake. "fighting training today at Sunset Grove, ill meet you there" the energetic orange tabby bounded out of camp. Grubpaw sat for a moment still blinking awake. He sighed and got up to follow his mentor.

Bravebird
She/her | 41 moons | Beefed Up T3 ᐧ One with the Warren

[ please note there is no blood on brave or the body, aside from stained fur perhaps. before returning to camp she groomed the blood off of dragonflyflare's body ]

Irritation and anger marked every step Bravebird took up the slope that led towards WindClan's camp. Though she was lean and strong, the weight of a dead Dragonflyflare on her back still had her teeth gritted. There were small scrapes and cuts along her chest and legs where that wretched ThunderClanner had managed to flail her paws, but they had all stopped bleeding by the time she was half-way back to camp.

Emerging onto the plateau and making it to the middle of camp the lilac lynx-point let the deceased WindClan warrior slide off her back. Blue eyes stared down at her for a second - pelt clean, groomed so that there would be no trace of the blood. "I wish you nothing but endless moors to run along, friend." Bending down she touched her nose to the cold fur of Dragonflyflare, letting the grief eventually be washed away by a new feeling. Soon enough anger reared its ugly head in her heart and she lifted her scathing glare.

"Twilightstar! Fallownose!" Her voice wasn't a yowl, but it would be loud enough to draw the attention of the leader and deputy. She was still conflicted frustrated about the end of the last meeting, and had no qualms in hiding that from her voice or her eyes. "Dragonflyflare was killed at the ThunderClan border. Their scent... it was all over her." She didn't know the name of the ThunderClanner she had fought, but it was still worth noting. "There was a squirrel near the border - pale gray fur, dark markings, white paws, yellow eyes, big scar on her back. I made sure she knew the consequences of killing one of our own, as I'm sure she'll make ThunderClan aware, too." Brave had wanted to kill her. But having her flee back to ThunderClan after the serious wounds she had given her? Letting her live to make those squirrels see what happened when they continued to disrespect borders.

There had to be some sort of retribution. A patrol had been dispatched to attack RiverClan - why were they not doing the same with ThunderClan??

trigger warnings for this post: death, panic attack, non-graphic mention of throwing up

azaleadrip padded up to bravebird after hearing the cat's yowl. she meowed out a huff of air, shutting her eyes tight and turning away from the body. ' bravebird-- ..what? ' azalea murmured, softly.

her fur prickled and the air caught in her throat, and she slumped down to her paws. azalea's breathing sped up and she hiccuped back a sob, trying not to cry. what had happened, why, why was bravebird here next to this cat? why did they both have thunderclan scent on them, and why were bravebird's paws dripping with blood?

she touched her nose to dragonflyflare's cold flank, respect coating her actions, but she looked like she was about to throw up. ' what is happening- why is everyone- what is going on?! '

Hawkfur [he/him, warrior. 45 moons]
[ @birdie ]
-----------------------------------------------
Hawkfur rushed out of the warriors den, glancing around in alarm until his blue eyes fell upon Bravebird and their fallen comrade laid carefully on the ground. He made a noise of despair, racing over and immediately approaching Bravebird, worry in his gaze. He looked her over for injuries, claws scraping the ground in anxiety. "What happened? Are you hurt?"

He glanced down at Dragonflyflare, despair in his voice. "Oh... Dragonflyflare... No..." He leaned over to press his nose into her rapidly cooling side, murmuring a few words of well wishes before straightening up and focusing once more on Bravebird. Worry still prickled his pelt, but now it was tinged with anger. "A ThunderClan cat did this?"

[Kaybug.]

Mistycloud and Dovepaw relaxed in the clearing.

[Morrigan]

Frostpaw sat quietly.

Grubpaw(he/him)
Fourshadow(He/Him)
(mentioned)Hootflicker(He/They/She)

Grubpaw spotted his mentor coming into camp and got up to talk to him. "Where have you been? Ive been wanting for 3 hours for the training you told me I had to do!" Grubpaw sniffed. "You smell of Shadowclan! I told you to stop visiting Hootflicker at the border" he spat.
Fourshadow growled "I hadn't seen him in moons and it was only a visit. I just wanted to talk to him".
"Whatever, but dont get mad at me when you get exiled for being in love with a Shadowclan tom" Grubpaw muttered loudly. The brown apprentice turned to go back to his den.

Not another one! The WindClan leader quickly weaved her way around the slowly growing crowd as Bravebird brought in Dragonflyflare with an announcement. She could tell Bravebird was agitated, but Twilightstar mostly ignored that in favor of listening to the report. Her fur bristled as it more or less sounded like Dragonflyflare was attacked for no reason, again! Why the hell did they keep killing her clanmates? The leader gave Dragonlyflare's body a remorseful guilty stare before hardening her gaze and looking over to Bravebird.

"Was the ThunderClanner tresspassing?" Twilightstar asked, seeing as Bravebird fought with the Dragonflyflare's killer. She wasn't familiar with the description of the cat, but she'll get a name later. Before Twilightstar sends off a patrol to kill two ThunderClanners, Twilightstar wants to make sure that ThunderClan can't turn this on them. She wanted to give them no excuse or way to weasel out of any of WindClan's retaliation.

She's been holding off on sending a patrol in retribution for her other murdered clanmates, purely because Bumblestar said it would be sorted out at the upcoming gathering, but it didn't mean she wasn't going to sit back and let ThunderClan continue to kill her clanmates mercilessly.
