IC Spottedlight: Spottedlight looked over to Darkspark and nodded before gesturing towards Willowpetal to follow him. "I'd like to share a word with Flintsky," He mewed to the other two exiles. "It'll only be a moment." I need to know if he's been told to do anything as well.Flintsky: Flintsky watched as Spottedlight sat down, curling his white-tipped tail over his soft-looking paws. What a harmless looking tom, He observed. But I know better than most that he could rip somebody's throat out without a second thought.
"So, what do you want to tell me?" Flintsky leaned close to the other tom, his eyes narrowed with overwhelming curiousity and the worry of somebody happening to pass by this sorry band of cats. "Did your mentor tell you to kill anyone?" Spottedlight whispered into Flintsky's ear, his eyes half-closed as if he were trying to hide something in it. "A kit? An elder? Anyone?" I doubt that Lilywhisker would tell me to kill somebody, He recalled the she-cat who was constantly whining about how she got into the Dark Forest. But, if she was told by one of the higher-ups like Maggottail or Snowtuft, she'd surely submit to them.
"No, Lilywhisker never told me anything of the sort," Flintsky replied softly, backing up a little and looking at Spottedlight questioningly. "Did Thistleclaw tell you to?" "Never mind that," Spottedlight shrugged, his eyes still half-closed. "I'll tell you in the Dark Forest if we see each other. We'll be out of your fur now." He then stood up and joined his other companions, tail high. Interesting... Flintsky thought, watching as he left him before picking up his fresh-kill and turning back into the forest.

Darkspark watched Flintsky and Spottedlight whisper. How do they know eachother? I don't need to worry about it, cats know cats... I mean, cats from different clans have kits... I should ask him though, we do need to know eachother better. After the two toms whispered, Spottedlight started toward Darkspark. He glanced around nervously, The scent of cats was getting stronger, even if this was Thunderclan's territory. "Quickly, I smell someone, or more, coming..." He mewed urgently. " If they see us, they'll kill us." His eyes darted over to Willowpetal. "Let's go." His steps quickened as he heard noises and chatting.

"Ugh, keep your fur on.." she grumbled as Darkspark moved ahead. She glanced behind her to look for Spottedlight, but saw him with Flintsky. She shrugged and bounded ahead of Darkspark."Cmon!", she mewed as she bounded up some rocks and away from the Thunderclan border. She stopped and checked back to Darkspark."Settle here. We'll wait for Spottedlight..", she mewed as she crouched down, her eyes searching for the sandy tom.

IC Spottedlight: Spottedlight didn't understand the panic of the other two cats and followed a bit more slowly. ThunderClan cats are slow and proud, He scoffed inwardly. We don't need to rush, they're probably just a border patrol. He padded forward, a couple of tail-lengths behind the other two exiles until he was over the border as well. He climbed up the rocks with relative ease and stood on top of them with Willowpetal. His ears perked as he surveyed the area below them and he relaxed even more when he didn't see any ThunderClan warriors coming into the open expanse between the WindClan and ThunderClan border. "We're fine," He mewed after a few heartbeats. "It was probably just a hunting patrol." Spottedlight shrugged his muscular shoulders and sat down, grooming himself lazily in the slowly dimming sunlight.

Darkspark sat next to Spottedlight. The orange and purple light made his pelt sparkle. He examined the sky, slowly darkening. He turned to Spottedlight, his lemon eyes stared at the side of the other tom's head. "Spottedlight, just in curiosity, how do you know Flintsky? You seemed to be chatting with him like you were familiar with him, but you startled and acted like he was a stranger when he showed up." He mewed curiously.

Willowpetal lay under the tree's shade, watching the toms talk, slowly falling asleep. Eventually she fell asleep.

IC Spottedlight: The tom paused his grooming and looked over at Darkspark with a shrug. "We both train in the Dark Forest together," Spottedlight explained. "Well, not together, but I've seen him a few times. We're not very close that's why I was shocked to see him." Should I tell him more? Spottedlight's gaze darkened as he wondered that, his eyes narrowing to slits. No, I don't trust him or Willowpetal enough for them to know about why I was exiled. "I wanted to know if the Place of No Stars still accepted cats that were exiled from the Clans into their training program is all." Hopefully that's believable, Spottedlight resumed washing himself in the sunset, growing sleepy as the lowering sun's rays warmed his pelt. Even if it's not, what would Darkspark do to me? Tell me I'm wrong? That would make him the untrustworthy one of the group.

Darkspark calmly listened to Spottedlight. "The Dark Forest was training you and Flintsky?" He mewed curiously. That's why Flintsky was so talented at fighting... He looked at the dark sky, few dim stars hung there. "I might be assuming things, but is that why you were exiled? You did go and train there... That could be dangerous but Starclan is no better." He mewed thoughtfully. He finally looked back into Spottedlights shining green eyes. "Thunderclan exiled me... And if Starclan chose this for me.... Then... Starclan is no better than the Dark Forest. I was loyal to my clan and did everything for my clan. I was the perfect warrior. When I injured my eye I knew it would be part of my destiny, but no.... I just look frightening." He looked over at Willowpetal resting under a tree. "Anyways, you should get some rest. We all had a bad day." He mewed before walking over to a nice area to sleep.

Willowpetal blinked open her eyes, still half asleep, to see the toms getting ready to sleep or at least one of them. She yawned and rested her head back on her paws, purring from the shade's coolness. Eventually she was put back to sleep by the constant sound of crickets and cicadas.

IC Spottedlight: StarClan is no better than the Dark Forest, Those words kept echoing in Spottedlight's mind as he watched Darkspark pad away. I've never met a StarClan cat, nor have I ever been to StarClan. But the Dark Forest isn't so bad.
He padded over to a rocky outcropping that had a small indentation in the stone surface, it was still warm from the sun's touch. He curled into the scoop of earth and tucked his nose under his tail. Maybe this isn't so bad. No more patrols, no more border skirmishes... I could eat whatever I caught. He drifted into sleep, and felt at peace.

Darkspark layed on the soft ground. He stared at the sky, the stars decorating the black and deep blue colors. Starclan won't forgive me for saying such words, but who do I care. Thunderclan is useless, I'm better than them. His thoughts drifted through his mind. His breathing slowed and deepened as he fell asleep. His eyes were sore from being so narrow and sharp, it felt nice to rest them.

In Her dreams, Willowpetal felt a strange presence. She blinked open her eyes to see a beautiful, starry forest. She stood up and looked around, taking a step forward. "Is this Starclan...?", she murmured to herself. "Hello?", she called. Eventually a tall cat with a long tail padded to her. His eyes were clear and wise. "Hello, young one.", the tom, she thought was Tallstar, one of the oldest leaders for her clan, mewed. Willowpetal's eyes widened. "Why am I here? Is there a message?", she mewed. "Yes.. About the ones you are with..", He mewed. "They walk a dark path...". Then, she woke with a jerk.

IC Spottedlight: "Get up, you lump of fur," A voice near him hissed. "There's training to do." Spottedlight sat up and blinked in the dull light of the Dark Forest and looked over to find Thistleclaw's spiky grey pelt brushing up against him. "Sorry," Spottedlight mewed apologetically, his green eyes searching Thistleclaw's eyes for emotions. Thistleclaw's expression was unreadable. "We're doing group training tonight, and we're having a small meeting later." "Alright," Spottedlight squinted and searched for other cats curiously. "Where's the training?" Thistleclaw rested his tail across Spottedlight's back. "Just follow me," He grumbled before padding through the forest. Spottedlight followed close behind the Dark Forest warrior and tried not to listen to the screams of other cats. Eventually, they arrived at a clearing that had a large tree in the center where cats were gathered around. "Sit anywhere around the tree and await instructions," Thistleclaw ordered Spottedlight before climbing up the tree and sitting on the lowest branch. "Hey, you, exile!" A voice calls near Spottedlight. The tom turns to find Flintsky and his friend. "Come and sit over here, this training session should be really interesting." The tom next to Flintsky nodded, his green eyes glinting in the low light of the forest. "Hopefully nobody dies like last time."

Darkspark awoke in the now flattened nest he made. He rose to his paws and padded toward Spottedlight. Should I leave them? No... 3 is better than 1. He then walked toward Willoepetal. They are both asleep still... He layed on an flat rock close to Spottedlight and let the sun warm his pelt.

Willowpetal awoke with a start, seeing Darkspark was awake and Spottedlight asleep. Why do I trust these strange cats..? And now I have a bad feeling about Spottedlight... . She arose to her feet and padded up to Darkspark, stopping a quarter away, her pupils slitting in the sunlight. She let out a hiss and bounded down the hill, stopping after hearing a rustle of feathers behind a bush. Willowpetal got into a hunting crouch, most of her power adgusted into her back legs. She sprung, claws outstretched and hooked onto the bird. She crouched down, biting it's neck swiftly. Willowpetal bounded back to the toms. She hopped up the rocks and padded up behind Darkspark, setting her catch in front of her and standing behind him. "Is beauty sleep here awake yet?", she grumbled.

OOC I'm going to skip the training, they just try shredding each other. I'll just say the meeting lol. IC Spottedlight: Huffing from the training with Flintsky and his close friend Brokenstripe, Spottedlight licked his wounds and waited for the meeting to begin. Thistleclaw, sat on his regular perch, raised his tail to let the other Dark Forest trainees know to be quiet as a white tom with a scary scar down his whole body climbed onto the top branch with a mottled she-cat. Mapleshade and Snowtuft, Spottedlight noted to himself. This could be something important.
"Greetings, trainees and trainers of the elite," Mapleshade began, her voice practically dripping with sap. "I would like to say two things, Snowtuft also has an important announcement he will say later." Snowtuft dipped his head, his eyes focusing off into the distance somewhere. Flintsky whispered something into Brokenstripe's ear that Spottedlight couldn't hear, but Brokenstripe clearly found amusing. Flintsky then turned to Spottedlight and chuckled. "Snowtuft has always been a furball, you'd think he'd be braver." "My first announcement," The sleek she-cat mewed, her eyes searching the crowd. "Is that all of you must prove your worth to the Dark Forest, do as your mentor tells you, they all know of what you must do." A few of the mentors nodded while the trainees looked on in confusion. "What do you mean?" A few cats muttered before Mapleshade raised her tail for silence again. "My second announcement is that we are considering a 'deputy' of sorts," Mapleshade continued and she looked directly at Spottedlight before smiling. "Snowtuft will continue with that." "Thank you, Mapleshade," The jumpy tom mumbled to the intimidating she-cat. "An example of the things your mentor may have you do is what Thistleclaw instructed his trainee, Spottedlight, to do. Those of you from ShadowClan," A few yowls of shock emitted from some ShadowClan members. "May know what Spottedlight had to do to satifsy our needs. He did what was right." Thistleclaw nodded. "He didn't protest, he knew that the kit he killed would have been an issue in the future and he exterminated the problem." Thistleclaw stood on his branch and guestured to the cats on the ground with his tail. "Take Spottedlight's example and do what we say, you may be exiled, but that is because your pathetic Clans are too mousebrained to realize the good we are doing!" A chorus of triumphant yowls sounded. Brokenstripe looked over at Spottedlight in shock. "You killed a kit?" Spottedlight nodded back, his eyes half-closed. "Of course. I did what I had to do," He smiled at Brokenstripe. "Would you betray the Dark Forest, medicine cat?" Shocked, Brokenstripe shook his head. "Of course not." Flintsky nudged Brokenstripe. "You'll be fine, they'll probably make you do something different. Lilystem isn't as ambitious as Thistleclaw."
Spottedlight woke up slowly and blinked in the light before stretching out with a yawn.

Darkspark looked over at Spottedlight. He rose from his sun bathing and got off his rock. "Did you sleep well?" He meowed. "Did you go to the Dark Forest?" He sat and narrowed his eyes at the other tom. "I don't need to train in such a place." He puffed out his chest with pride. "But I'll be there someday..." He paused and looked at the sky."Starclan wouldn't accept me after what I said. But would the Dark Forest care about what I said about them?" He looked back at Spottedlight and tilted his head.

Willowpetal's eyes widened and her claws unsheathed. "You go to the Dark Forest!?", she mewed in surprise. "That's idiotic! Do you know what they have done to us!?". Her tail lashed and she took a backward step. "Hunt your own fresh-kill!", she snapped, grabbing her bird and bounding down to her tree. She crouched down and dug into the bird furiously.
A couple minutes later she finished her bird, thwaking the empty carcass away. Her pupils slitted in distrust and anger she rested her chin on her paws, watching the toms.

IC Spottedlight: "The Dark Forest chooses its recruits based on who it feels it needs," Spottedlight mewed sleepily, raising a paw to his face to lick the blood from his paws. "StarClan won't deny you entry just because you said that you feel as if they're unfair, they deny you if you've done something awful." His eyes darkened as he looked at Darkspark's face. "I did what I had to and I have no regrets." The muscular sandy tom looked over in Willowpetal's direction, annoyance crept into his voice. "I don't care what the Dark Forest did," He hissed. "I wasn't exiled by the Dark Forest, I was exiled by the very cats that raised me. The Dark Forest praises me and I have many good friends in it."

"At least you can keep in contact with your clan still. I don't mind being away from the clan that EXILED me..."He meowed to Spottedlight. He looked over at Willowpetal."Please Willowpetal, I know your still angry at being exiled but we must work together as rogues... I was asking Spottedlight a question about his training, that's all." He mewed softly. He padded over to where Willowpetal sat angrily. He slowly sat next to her and gestured Spottedlight over."We should continue our trip." He paused and looked over at Willowpetal. He hesitated before continueing. "Willowpetal... Lead the way."

"Fine.", Willlowpetal spat."Keep up.". She bounded up the rocks, claws unsheathed to stop from slipping. She was quicker then the toms, she thought. Should I slow down? She stopped and crouched on a large rock, waiting for the toms to catch up. She gave her pelt a couple of licks and continued on slower. They'll be there soon enough. Eventually, after a good 30 minutes of walking, they made it to an open space with plenty of large rocks with cracks in them and small bracken hollows. "Take your pick..", she mewed, her eyes still slits in distrust. She bounded over to a tree and began clawing off moss.

IC Spottedlight: What a quaint little place, Spottedlight looked around before walking towards one of the hollowed rocks and squeezing in. It's snug, but it'll do. He emerged and pulled some grass from the ground with his teeth, forming a neat pile beside him to use for his nest. Maybe some bird feathers will finish it off nicely. He wondered as he gathered a formidable amount of the fronds.

Darkspark looked around at the rocky area. He winced. "My pawpads feel terribly sore." He meowed in pain. He walked around anyways, examining the potential dens. He found a nice crack. After sliding in and seeing how he fit, he decided it was good. He went off looking for items to make his den. What herb was for sore pawpads? I was told to fetch some when I was an apprentice for a warrior that was going on a long trip. Why can't I recall it? He thought while he made his den.

Willowpelt padded to a rock, a large opening in the front, with a tunnel that lead to a very open space with a little stream to the side. It was surprisingly dry despite the clear water smell. She set her moss in a corner that was darker then the rest. She bounded outside once again to find some cattail fronds by the water. She clawed some of the fronds off and bounded back, stopping half way to see coltsfolt. Willowpelt shrugged and picked it. Carrying it back, along with the cattail fronds. She padded into her den and teared up the cattail, putting the fluff in with the moss for her nest. Eventually, she finished and padded back to the coltsfolt, grabbing it and finding a crack in the tunnel to put it in. She stuffed it in gently and bounded back to the open part of the cave. Maybe we should get more herbs? I trained as a medicine cat apprentice for the shortest time.. . She lay in her nest and took a nap .

IC Spottedlight: Spottedlight took his grass to the front of his den before setting off to find a bird or two for feathers. And a meal, He added internally as his stomach growled. My stomach thinks my throat's clawed out!
He wondered towards the edge of the forest and sniffed for thrushes or pigeons, after picking up the musky scent of robin he decided it would do and followed it to the base of a tree. He checked he was down-wind and crouched. If only I was a ThunderClan cat, these woods are different from the pines in ShadowClan's territory. He thought wistfully, creeping quietly towards the robin. He lept at it and stunned it on impact with a heavy thwack to the head with one of his large white paws. He picked it up, nipped it's neck, and carried it back to his new den.

Darkspark finished his large nest by dusk, his paws throbbing from the rock. Each pebble felt like stepping on a thorn. He walked over to Willowpetals den and examined her nest and small den, for he was larger than Spottedlight and Willowpetal. He sat at the opening to her new den and looked over at her."Do you happen to know what herb helps with sore paw pads? My paws aren't used to a long trip. Expecially since the place we ended our trip is a rocky area." He winced. He looked at her hopefully. I'll ask Spottedlight if Willowpetal doesn't know... He thought.

Willowpetal got up from her nest and padded over to the tom, picking up each leg and checking the pads. She shook her head, then reached her paw into the crack with the coltsfoot in it. She padded back to the tom and grabbed his first paw and rubbing it on his pad. "Your very lucky that I trained as a medicine cat apprentice for 3 moons..", she mewed. She finished each paw and tossed the broken plants outside. She went to her nest once again and crouched down. "Go to your nest and rest your legs. Resting will make the herbs work better.", she mewed. She watched the tom.

Spottedlight ❯❯ As Spottedlight plucked the feathers from the robin he killed, he squinted in the direction of Willowpetal's den. Both Darkspark and the distrustful she-cat were inside it at the moment and Spottedlight found that displeasing.
Wouldn't it be hilarious if they were conspiring against me? Spottedlight thought to himself as he fiddled with the plummage of his fresh-kill. I doubt that they could even do anything about me even if they were plotting against me.
As he finished plucking his bird, he admired the formidable pile of foilage and feather he had gathered for his nest. He then tucked his paws under him and began to eat his robin with a purr.

Darkspark sighed in relief. He padded back to his den, careful of sharp rocks. He sat in his large nest, grooming his fur. He layed down and rested his eyes. The moment his eyes closed he realised how exhausted he was from walking all day. He fell asleep with ease.

Willowpetal padded out of her den, seeing Darkspark asleep in his den, she breathed a sigh of relief. Straightening up she figured she'd go hunt for herbs. Padding out of the 'camp', she didn't see Spottedlight. She shrugged it off and continued out of the 'camp'.
About 2 hours later, Willowpetal padded back to her den with as many herbs as she could carry. The herbs grow well here, she thought. She bounded to her den and began organizing the piles and going back for her other piles of herbs in the forest. Eventually, she finished and climbed into her nest after a meal of a mouse."I'll put the piles in their cracks tomorrow..", she murmured as she fell asleep.
