"It could use some work." Cheetahheart muttered with a flick of her ear.

((He's one of the oldest in the clan I had no choice haha, I can't see Cloudscar as a senior warrior but he is haha))
Swiftstar1.0 narrowed his eyes. "I'm not sure Silverspirit would betray her clan just to spite you." He said slowly. It wasn't that he didn't believe the she-cat, but something just didn't make sense.
Sunpaw nodded vigorously "Sure!" Sunpaw chirped. Unlike some of the other tunnelers, Sunpaw didn't fear the moor, at times he enjoyed it more than tunnels, but at other times he enjoyed the tunnels more.
Swiftstar2.0 looked at Dashclaw sympathetically. "You belong here Dashclaw, with you family. Your father may be gone, but WindClan is still your family. We never stopped being your family. You've served as a moor runner your entire life, and have served your clan countless times. I understand wanting to follow your father's wishes, but I don't want you to throw your entire life's accomplishments away because you feel guilty."
Frostpetal purred. "Good. And stop your sulking" she said playfully nudging him back "You're no better than a grumpy badger."

(Haha, silly Mooneh XD This is why we have quoting!)
Rockfall seemed to pout at that, his whiskers drooping. "I was never very good at hunting....I'm better at fighting, and I'm not even good at that!" He meowed, thinking about it. He was a pretty average cat, he wasn't terrible at anything, but he wasn't particularly good at anything either.

"What accomplishments?" Dashclaw suddenly snapped, "What have I don't for the good of this clan despite pitting us against each other? Pitting us against the 'non-clan-borne' The way I treated Sparrowwing and Streamfrost! The way I publicly shamed my own leader because I sided with the opinions of the other Clans instead of backing her own! Or boasting much and more about how great moor-runners are over tunnelers! I was wrong! What have I done as a moor-runner that benefits this Clan?"
"Oh really?" Harewhisker smiled, "Is my sulking that bad?"

(Lol Fire, Beetle Rain and Black are pretty old. Almost 6-7 years I'd say?)
"I don't know." Meadowbrook sighed heavily, shaking her head. "I shouldn't have said anything...it wasn't that big of a deal, I just hated that stupid battle..." She faked an angered sadness.
Blacktail nodded. "Sounds good! I do really like this idea Swiftstar made of letting moor-runners and tunnlers train together. I have yet to have a moor-runner assigned to me, but I prefer we all knew both lifestyles."

Swiftstar remained calm, his ear twitching slightly. "Don't think you're special enough that you're the only cat to have made mistakes in this clan. Birchstep for example. Did he make mistakes? Yes. Did he learn from them? Yes. Are both he and the clan better now because of those mistakes and because of the learning process? Yes. Everyone makes mistakes Dashclaw, but it's how you react to and learn from those mistakes that matters. Running from your mistakes by changing your place in the clan doesn't erase your mistakes, it just changes them and they will continue to haunt you. But if you face them head on, accept that they happened, that there is nothing you can do but learn from them, then maybe the inner turmoil you're feeling will start to fade."
Frostpetal purred. "Absolutely awful. The worst." she nudged him lightly. "Want to go for a hunt?" She asked

Swiftstar narrowed his eyes. "As much as you may have hated the battle Meadowbrook would you rather ThunderClan take one of our tunnelers for themselves?"
Sunpaw nodded. "I like both aspects a lot!" He said honestly. "I don't like that we have to pick one."

"I'm asking for a new start, Swiftstar." Dashclaw replied, "For a chance to do better for this clan by starting over."
"With you?" Harewhisker asked with a smile, "Of course."

"Of course not!" Meadowbrook argued, eyes looking at Swiftstar suddenly. She spoke. "That's the problem. I was fighting for the clan and Sunpaw, and Silverspirit pushed me away from Laceheart! She said Laceheart was defeated, but she clearly wasn't! And I hardly saw Silverspirit fighting at all. Why not ask her if she was willing to fight for Sunpaw? Meadowbrook sighed.
"I'm sure Silverspirit saw my battle from after. I...I wanted to tell you, but I don't want the clan knowing, because I'm sure it's just her nature, but I just wanted to tell someone before it ate me up inside, and I don't need another conspiracy theory that I'm evil. It's already bad enough being insulted for being a tunnler..." She admitted.

Swiftstar flicked his tail. "I said if this is what you really wanted I wouldn't stand in your way, and I will honor that, but I will also honor that this decision is final." He paused for a moment. "Since there isn't really a precedent for this sort of thing, at least not that I know of, I suppose it's up to us to make our own precedent. Would you like to pick your mentor or shall I assign you one?"
Frostpetal purred. "Even if it's out on the moor?" She asked, standing and shaking out her pelt.

Blacktail hummed his agreement. "I'm with you on that one. I assume it's why we paired up in Swiftstar's eyes. Moors can be as good as tunnels, and vice versa. Apply it to cats too, and you become more open minded when you don't choose a side."

Swiftstar nodded. "Where did Laceheart go after Silverspirit pushed you off of her?" He asked curiously.
Sunpaw purred, glad his mentor was as openminded as he was. Feeling in the wall, he felt a much larger rock and began to unearth it.

"I'll let you assign me one." Dashclaw replied with a dip of his head, "Thank you Swiftstar.
Harewhisker flicked his ear at the thought of the windy moor, "Even if its out on the moor." he replied with a nod. Maybe she could show him why Dashclaw liked it so much.

Swiftstar nodded. "I know just the cat." He said after a pause. "Come, let's tell the clan of your decision." He padded out of his den and leaped onto tall rock. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath tall rock for a clan meeting!"
Frostpetal looked up at Swiftstar and sighed. "looks that hunt will have to wait." She said ruefully, glancing at Harewhisker.

Meadowbrook perked. "She ran off somewhere. I was rather cross with Silverspirit so I lost visual on Laceheart. I went back to battle soon after." She explained. That part was honest.
Blacktail flicked his whiskers where Sunpaw was digging, humming. "A much larger stone. This one can be used for support." He smiled.

Grasslight immeadetly stood, gazing up at Dashclaw and her leader with wide and expectant eyes.
Beetleclaw looked up, as did my other cats.

Dashclaw followed his leader.
Harewhisker glanced from Frostpetal to their leader, but when his eyes spotted Dashclaw he let out a sigh, What's he doing now?

Fernheart paused to look down into the gorge. She sighed softly, trying to distract her mind from Dustfire. She watched the river run past the rocks.
Breezefoot looked at Swiftstar.

Swiftstar nodded. "If she left then she must have been defeated." He said matter-of-factly.
Sunpaw purred proudly and continued to dig furiously around the rock. Once it was free he rolled it towards Blacktail. "Where do I put it?" He asked excitedly.

Rosefeather tilted her head a bit to look towards all the noise, confused as to why Dashclaw was with Swiftstar.
Rockfall blinked and turned from Cheetahheart to the Tallrock, confused.
Dustswirl had just crawled her way out of a tunnel with a mole dangling from her jaws. She glanced up at the sound of Swiftstar calling a clan meeting, but she sorta just ignored it and went towards the Fresh-kill pile to drop off the mole.

"Or she went to find a different cat to claw in camp. Either way, I didn't appreciate it." Meadowbrook shook her head, clearly not wanting to say more. "I apologize for dusrupting your hunt, Swiftstar. It's not really important enough to dewll on, it's not like anyone ever believes me anyway..." She flattened her ears quietly.
Blacktail instructed. "Push it deep into the wall to your side and front. Pack dirt in around it to keep is steady, so it can grip the wall to provide support."

Swiftstar gazed down at his clan. "Today we are going to conduct a ceremony that is rare in our clan. Dashclaw has expressed to me that he wishes to give up the life of a moor runner and join the ranks of the tunnelers. Because he has served our clan for so many moons as a moor runner, he will keep his warrior name, but he is in need of an apprentice." He paused for a moment then continued on "Birchstep. You are an excellent tunneler and have wisdom beyond your years to learn from your mistakes and push forward. It is for this reason that you will be Dashclaw's mentor. I hope you pass along your wisdom not only in tunneling, but in life as well."
Frostpetal's jaw dropped slightly and she glanced at Harewhisker, almost afraid to see his reaction.

Dustswirl looked up at the Tallrock in surprise, then only snorted softly, "mouse-brain." She mumbled softly. Having heard enough, she disappeared back into the tunnels.
Rosefeather's whiskers twitched, "rare? I've never heard of this before..."

"What?!" Harewhisker stood up at Swiftstar's announcement, "Swiftstar that's insane!" he looked at his brother, "What are you trying to pull?"

My cats looked surprised.
Grasslight's eyes widened in shock. That was what he had hid? She...she didn't know what to think! All this time he spoke of how he had not wanted to Tunnel like his father did. And now he wanted to? She realized, like her brother, she could lose him in a tunnel too, and she felt herself tremble at the thought. Both could die and she'd be alone..
But she had promised Dashclaw she'd be there. He needed her, he said so...So she would have to find a way to do just that. Even though her heart ached that he chose Tunnling over moor-running.

Swiftstar turned to Harewhisker. "I understand that this is a bit.....unusual, I myself was hesitant at first, but I have spoken to Dashclaw and he has expressed that this is his wish in order to honor Rabbitdash. I expect you, and the rest of the clan, to honor his wish. I can't stand in the way of someone trying to find their place in the clan."
Frostpetal rested her tail on Harewhisker's shoulders in an attempt to comfort him. She knew it would probably be useless, but she didn't know what else to do.
