Oakstalk looked back at Honeypaw. "I'm sure you'll be happy to get another mentor if I don't come back." He spoke, his voice light but his eyes unreadable. "I'm hoping for Pinefeather or Scorchfire, but we'll see!" Honeypaw snorted back, though it seemed the tom had no heat to his voice, only a natural sarcasm and support for once. He watched Oakstalk go.

Shadedpine turned to the patrol before stopping and moving back toward Eaglesight. She rested her muzzle against his for a moment before smiling softly and saying so only he could hear, "My feelings for you go deeper than just being clanmates. I feel you should know." With that she turned and bounded after the patrol.

Stormfury followed, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement.

Sunpaw let out a dramatic sigh as she watched the patrol walk away, and flopped to the ground, annoyed. Oh, she wished she were a warrior so much.

Stormfury followed, feeling a mix of nervousness and excitement. How would WindClan react to his presence on the ShadowClan patrol? He just hoped that they could unite as one force....for once...

Goldberry gave a breath of effort as he pulled the bark, the camp in view behind him as he kept pulling. They were so close now. He looked at Tumblepaw, eyeing him to make sure he was okay.

Tumblepaw dragged the vulture back to camp with Goldberry.
Littlemoon looked up from where she laying when the two brought the big bird in. She gaped in quiet surprise, standing to her feet.
Houndthroat dropped his jaw seeing the vulture.

Goldberry let the bark fall from his jaws as he took a tired breath, regaining his winded strength as he looked around the camp with a faint look of pride and confusion as he saw no sign of Cedarstar.
"Dear Starclan, look at that thing!" Burningpaw exclaimed brightly, impressed by what Tumblepaw seemed to have brought back with his mentor.

Tumblepaw panted alongside his mentor, looking at Goldberry with pride shining in his eyes and a bright smile on his face. When Burningpaw padded over, he only stood taller under her gaze, grinning like a fool.
"Holy, StarClan." Smokestorm blinked in surprise at the bird.
"Did you two catch that?" Cliffheart stepped over, looking at Goldberry impressed.

"We did. Though, it was Tumblepaw who made the killing blow, and who took the initiative. All I did was tell him where to strike." Goldberry nodded, voice light but warm as he looked at Tumblepaw. "He has the strongest hind legs I've ever seen on a cat his age."
"That's incredible! I didn't know you were such a great hunter!" Burningpaw grinned toothily.

Pinefeather watched them bring back the vulture. She was rather impressed as well.

Cliffheart blinked in surprise, looking over Tumblepaw. "Very impressive, Tumblepaw!" Though, he had to admit, Tumblepaw did have the lengthy build of a SkyClan cat. "That vulture could feed half the Clan!"
"With the prey we gathered from Gregory and Shimmer earlier and that vulture, no one should go hungry tonight!" Littlemoon smiled, her tail flicking in excitement.
Tumblepaw's ears grew hot under the warrior's praise, but he couldn't stop grinning at Burningpaw's praise.

Goldberry was happy that Tumblepaw was being praised, knowing how nervous the change of leadership had made him. He blinked and asked out. "Oh...say, where is Cedarstar? I was hoping he could see Tumblepaw's work." He asked.

"Cedarstar left with a patrol to ThunderClan," Cliffheart replied calmly. "They've gone to take ThunderClan back for Lightningstar. If all goes well, they'll be back before sunhigh."

Goldberry's eyes widened lightly. "Oh. They left? Well...ah, I suppose they'll have something to look forward to when they come back!" He offered with positivity.
"Nice catch, Tumblepaw. No surprise though, with my father as your mentor." Even Honeypaw was impressed, eyeing the vulture as he nodded to the older apprentice.

Cliffheart nodded in agreement. "If things go wrong, that vulture will surely lift their spirits."
Tumblepaw flicked his ear at Honeypaw's words, noting how he couldn't give a compliment without making some reference to himself. "I just hope it feeds the Clan. Goldberry showed me how to hunt them, so I hope I can catch more in the future. That was really fun."

Goldberry showed me how to hunt them, so I hope I can catch more in the future. That was really fun." "It's bigger than half the apprentices. I'd say it'll feed plenty." Honeypaw eyed the vulture curiously, never seeing one as prey before. He looked at Tumblepaw and smirked. "And Cedarstar will certainly take notice, hm?" Goldberry nodded to Cliffheart. "Let's hope so."

Tumblepaw shifted his paws and awkwardly shrugged. "I-I dunno about Cedarstar." he glanced at Burningpaw. "Guess I'm just proud of it. I-it really wasn't that big a deal. Anyone can leap on the back of a vulture."

"I was told they could carry cats away if they wanted. They're the biggest birds we can see." Honeypaw shrugged, before Burningpaw approached with a flick of her tail. "And how many apprentices have killed a vulture lately? I certainly haven't."

"Well..." Tumblepaw twitched his whisker rather bashfully. "Goldberry said the Clan used to hunt like this, so I assumed others had done it as well..."
"Wow!" Whorlpaw padded over with eyes wide as orbs. "StarClan! That's huge!"

Whorlwhisker stared at the vulture with round eyes. It's huge! He thought as he continued gawking at the bird. It might just feed the entire Clan!

Sunpaw gawked at the vulture. "Wow..." she said, looking admirably at the older apprentice.

Cedarstar led his patrol back into camp. His face was twisted from the pain of the slice on his side. The farther they got from ThunderClan, the slower he actually became, his wound having yet to be treated. When he padded onto the camp, took in a breath of sweet relief, silently thankful that the five warriors he took with him were alright despite their injuries. His first thought was to head to Clanrock and update the Clan on what happened; however, he the first thing he spotted in returning was the giant dead vulture in the middle of camp, many of the Clan members gathered around. Cedarstar blinked in surprise, unable to contain the shock from his face. "What happened?" He quickly stepped forward, ignoring the pain in his side. Don't tell me a vulture attacked the camp while we were gone. "Is everyone alright?"

Cloudscar padded over to the leader, an amused look on his face. "You will never believe what Tumblepaw brought back to camp." He said with a glance back at the vulture. "that should feed half the clan!"
Stormfury followed Cedarstar, his side stinging, but he felt relieved to be home. He glanced up as Cloudscar padded over, and then to the fresh kill pile in disbelief.

Cedarstar blinked at his deputy in confusion. Did he just say Tumblepaw brought that vulture back? "What?"
Tumblepaw shuffled his paws from where he sat by his kill. His ears were tilted back in concern and he kept glancing from Cedarstar to Goldberry, still having his own doubts about the new leader.

Shadedpine padded into the camp slowly, her eyes filling with relief once she was inside. With a sigh the she-cat plopped down onto the ground, happy to be home.

His ears were tilted back in concern and he kept glancing from Cedarstar to Goldberry, still having his own doubts about the new leader. Goldberry eyed Cedarstar and the battle patrol warmly. “I told him where to strike and he did the rest. Tumblepaw showed the traits of a skilled hunter.” He mewed. “I suppose this is a celebratory prey, for your bravery and strength today as well.” He chuckled.

"Shadedpine!" Eaglesight ran over to the she-cat, his eyes wide at the sight of her bandaged injuries. "Are you alright?"
Cedarstar smiled softly at Goldberry's explanation. "Well done, Tumblepaw." The young apprentice blinked in surprise at the leader's gaze. "That's quite the feet for a cat as young as you." Cedarstar flicked his tail contently, looking around the camp. "We do have reason to celebrate, our patrol was successful. Lightningstar is back at his rightful place as ThunderClan's leader." He glanced back at Oakstalk, Shortcloud, Shadedpine, Lionscorch, and Stormfury. "Make sure the five of you get treated by Snowdance and Opalmist."
