Russetshade huffed and glanced at the other members of the patrol, knowing what was going on in the territory. "What is this message?"

Raccoonmask glanced at Russetshade, shifting paw to paw awkwardly. She just hoped Russetshade's standoffish approach wouldn't cause a fight.

Lynxdapple remained calm and silent, allowing the she-cats’ to take charge of the confrontation. The older tom kept his eyes curiously on Lightningstar and his small patrol. If Peachdapple was with him, Lynxdapple knew it had to be serious.

“Russetshade go get Cedarstar” Swallowtail says in the same soft tone of voice. Clearly not wanting him to cause a scene.

Russetshade eyed Swallowtail, her tone low with warning. "We don't fetch Cedarstar at the beck and call of another leader, Swallowtail." She looked at Lightningstar. "What message do you have? We'll determine if it's worth Cedarstar's time."

“It’s all fine.” Lynxdapple mewed calmly, looking at Swallowtail and Russetshade before continuing. “Russetshade’s got the right idea. The more information we get up front, the better we can decide if this is something that can be handled here on the border, or if it’s indeed worth Cedarstar’s ear.” He reminded.
“We come with no hostility. It’s a matter of the Dark Forest. It affects all our clans.” Peachdapple responded, simple yet serious and honest. She nodded to Lightningstar, for the tom to speak of what had happened last night.

Raccoonmask's ears flattened at the mention of the dark forest, she nodded to Russetshade. "I think Snowndance and Cedarstar should hear this from the source. If it's so dire. Hopefully, Cedarstar's patrol is back by now." She glanced back at Lightningstar, "He was out, training with his apprentice." she mewed smoothly. The sincerity of her lie surprised her, usually not one to hide the truth. It's for the clan's sake

Lightningstar nodded to Racconmask. “Please, it’s urgent.” He spoke. “We have proof the dark forest is rising again.” He spoke.

“They have killed my brother, Yarrowcloud, in his sleep. I saw it happen. I escaped with my life.” Peachdapple rasped after a moment of urgency, her voice leaving no room for lies.
Lynxdapple grew serious at that, his body tensing up as he thought of his own brother, and when Cliffheart had been killed in his sleep, before Northstar had revived him with one of her lives. He swallowed, looking at Russetshade, Raccoonmask, and Swallowtail. “This is something that Cedarstar must know about. We can’t turn this away.”

Russetshade sighed. The Dark Forest. With a glance at the others, she knew they were right. They had to take these ThunderClan cats to Cedarstar. "Stay close." She looked at Lightningstar. "We'll take you to Cedarstar."

Raccoonmask moved closer to Russetshade, glancing at the Thunderclan cats nervously before whispering, "Should I run ahead and make sure Cedarstar is back?"

Russetshade nodded and spoke quietly in response. "That's a good idea. The Clan deserves a warning before we walk the leader of our oldest rival into camp. We'll move slowly to give you as much time as we can."

Raccoonmask gave a sigh of relief and dipped her head to the patrol. "I'll be going ahead to make sure Cedarstar is back in camp for when you arrive. I will see you soon." she mewed before taking off toward camp.

Lynxdapple took his cue to make the situation more casual, and to not let the Thunderclan cats get any suspicions. He padded close to Lightningstar and Peachdapple, as well as giving a small smile to Silverfox. He offered.
“Thank you for waiting at the border. The rain is absolutely atrocious today. I hope your pelts aren’t soaked too deeply.”
“Always the conversationalist, Lynxdapple.” Peachdapple mused, though it was clear that she was faintly relaxed by his words, and that she knew the small tom well enough to know that he was on many patrols on Shadowclan’s borders.
“Ah, I do my best.” Lynxdapple nodded, hoping that stalling would give Cedarstar enough time to be back and ready in camp. He prayed Raccoonmask would be quick.

Silverfox gave Lynxdapple and the other ShadowClan warriors a polite nod, standing to follow behind Lightningstar and Peachdapple.

Flamesky walked alongside the others toward the Riverclan border, nodding along with the conversation. "It's scary to think about, them invading our dreams. It makes me nervous for my kits' futures."

Flamesky walked alongside the others toward the Riverclan border, nodding along with the conversation. "It's scary to think about, them invading our dreams. It makes me nervous for my kits' futures." "Why? Why did Yarrowcloud want so badly to go to the Dark Forest? Was his father really that evil?" Sprucetail asked lightly, having not been alive when Wrenflight had been. Rather, the tom's eyes grew mournful as he mewed. "After all he went through in his life, only to have it end like this... it's such a tragedy." He shook his head lightly, before he swallowed. "Maybe they can't get to us if we really try to push them out. Is that possible?" |

Sunthroat glanced over his shoulder at the rest of the patrol, giving a small flick of his ear, “Wrenflight was an ambitious warrior when he was alive, but he never showed any kind of ill will or anger. If he did, he must have kept it to himself and only showed that side to his kits.” He said, slowing his pace as they neared the border. The former deputy eyed Sunningrocks, laying on the other side of the border. “I know that he had been upset when he had been passed over for deputy, but I hadn’t realized it was to the point where he would kill his own son.”
Lynxstripe sighed, glancing at Sunningrocks wistfully. She couldn’t help but wonder how her mother and siblings were doing in RiverClan. All of the talk about the Dark Forest made her feel uneasy.

“Ambition is poison.” Sprucetail murmured, not wanting to think about how ambitious his sister could get. “A father should never harm their kit. To hate him enough to trap him in the Dark Forest… and he was such a kind and caring cat too. How could you hate that?” He asked quietly.

Flamesky shook his head with a sigh, “Jealousy overtakes your empathy until there’s none left. You only see what you want and whatever is in your way doesn’t matter anymore. It’s scary to think about.” The Tom shuddered, unable to think about a world where he would hate his own kits. “We’ll find a way to save Yarrowcloud, we will.”

Raccoonmask padded alongside the rest of the patrol, her paws sinking into the marshy ground more than they normally would. The younger warrior made eye-contact with Stormfury, snickering quietly as the older warrior grimaced as the muddy feeling on his paws.

Peachdapple padded through the mud, ignoring the way it weighed down her thick pelt. Her weight made her sink down often, but she did not make a single complaint. After all, her focus was too set on delivering the warnings, and trying to find a way to save her brother from the Dark Forest.
“Here we are.” Lynxdapple nodded at the border. “Safe travels, hear me? Really…” He grew serious. “I do wish you success in your endeavors, with such a serious topic… the Dark Forest affected many of us. I’ll never forget those times…” He shook the dark memories away.

Russetshade flicked her tail in annoyance following the patrol. ThunderClan arriving for a two minute meeting felt like a waste of ShadowClan time. She didn't say anything as Lynxdapple offered pleasantries. She didn't want to think about her own experiences with the Dark Forest and AdderClan. She hadn't been born in ShadowClan's camp because of it.

Sky/Thunder Twolegplace Patrol
Bluewhisker padded steadily along as the patrol left the Twolegplace, keeping an even pace so as to not waste time but keep from jostling Echo too much where the injured she-cat rested limply across her back. She was grateful for her large stature, Echo's paws and tail a mouse-length above the ground.

just gonna copy this over here too oops )
Webstripe, did his best to help prop Echo's body up over Bluewhisker's shoulders, though it was quite difficult for him as he was much shorter than Bluewhisker. "This is going to be a slow journey back." he mewed through his teeth.
Springpaw grabbed the prey Blackfire passed over to her and followed behind the patrol.

Dawnpaw carried the prey in his jaws, giving the Skyclan cats a regretful yet thankful nod of his head. There was no use in waiting to just return to Thunderclan, and it was easier to avoid going to Skyclan’s camp in general.
Withermist, also carrying prey, watched the Thunderclan cats carry the injured loner.

Blackfire led the way to the border that separated SkyClan and ThunderClan, glancing over her shoulder every now and then to make sure she wasn’t moving too fast for Bluewhisker and the others helping carry the loner.
Echo’s eyes opened slightly and lifted her head a bit, confused as to where she was. Was she moving? Echo groaned and let her head rest back on Bluewhisker’s shoulders, sill feeling rather dizzy. It felt like her head was spinning.
