Thistlestalk opened his mouth to speak only to be cut off by his stomach growling. He let out a sigh "I suppose that's a good idea." he mewed in embarrassment.

"And we can make sure the others are following the agreement." Shortcloud added, feeling hungry herself. She supposed it was normal to be hungry nowadays, though.

Poppyflame chuckled at Thistlestalk’s rumbling stomach and nodded in agreement with Shortcloud, “Come on, let’s get moving.” She mewed, flicking her tail.

Silvercloud followed after Whitesun through the SkyClan territory. She let out a sigh at the tangling trees of SkyClan, but shook her head to clear her thoughts. This was a border patrol after all.

Whitsun led his patrol towards the ThunderClan border, pausing briefly to scent the air to make sure there wasn’t any ThunderClan scent over their border. “Let’s start marking the borders.” He said, moving forward.
Shadowmask followed after Whitesun and Silvercloud, marking the border as she went.

Silvercloud nodded to the deputy. She padded up to the border, a simple scentline through the trees. "Whitesun." She eyed a tree further into THunderClan's territory. "Do you think ThunderClan would be too busy with ShadowClan at Fourtrees that they might not notice if we move the border into their territory a few tail-lengths?"

Whitesun glanced over at Silvercloud as she spoke and flicked his ear, turning his gaze back to the border between ThunderClan and SkyClan. “Probably not at first.” He mused, his tail flicking in thought, “But I’m sure once they did, they would retaliate, and I’m not sure if we should risk a battle with them.”

Silvercloud nodded and idly glanced down at her paws. She wouldn't be much help in a battle if it came to it. "Alright, but if the Clan needs prey, I won't hesitate to move the border."

Spottedpaw solemnly stepped towards the border, looking to Lynxdapple for direction. “We Mark the border multiple times a day right?”

"Yep! That's the gist of it." Lynxdapple nodded leisurely, turning to mark a patch of growing grass along the Thunderpath, his muzzle twitching with a small frown as he scented the Thunderpath again. He stood still as a monster began to roar down the path, fearlessness in his eyes and sternness in his voice as he mewed. "Take a few steps back and pay attention to this. A monster is coming down the path. If you act like a lizard-brain and play around on this path, they can easily take you to Starclan." He explained.

Spottedpaw jumped back, pressing himself against the ground as the monster roared past. He looked at Lynxdapple, eyes as round as could be. “Mama told me about them but I didn’t think they’d be that big.” He murmured. “Falcontalon’s sister was killed by one of those.” He continued, ears flat to his head. “Why would anyone go near those things?”

Lynxdapple's eyes grew softer at the mention of Falcontalon's sister, and how tragic that had to have been, to see your own kin killed by a monster. The small tom looked down at his apprentice, nosing up back up to his paws as gently as he could. "Some cats get chased across, or think they're brave. But monsters sometimes stumble a bit off the path, and can swing into you. You promise me that you won't get air in your head and fool around out here, got it?" He asked, blue eyes glinting, his voice paternal and patient.

Spottedpaw nodded, pure fear still evident on his face. “I promise Lynxdapple. I have to be around to protect Rustlepaw and Turkeypaw! I would never be so careless to risk my life unless it was to protect them.”

Troutfang approached the ThunderClan border, keeping his eyes open for any ThunderClan cats nearby.
Icepath lashed her tail as she followed, wishing she could step right over the border and make it RiverClan's.

Lynxdapple smiled lightly at his apprentice, lifting a small paw to ruffle at Spottedpaw's ears. "You're a good brother, you know that? Goldberry used to say the same thing about protecting me. I always thought he was overdramtic, but nowadays I'm grateful that I had a cat I could depend on to be at my side. Rustelpaw and Turkeypaw will feel the same for you, I'm sure." He praised, before he nodded. "Alright. Now. Go mark a section of the border, and remember Thunderclan scent too!"
---
"Look at that." Iciclestep scowled deeply, glancing at Sunningrocks with a twinge of want. "That could and should be our territory again, right? Thunderclan acts so immensely entitled to it." He rolled his eyes with a twitch of his ears. "Do you suppose they're anywhere around here?"

"You're right." Troutfang nodded, marking the border almost begrudgingly. He wouldn't dare change the border without talking to Earthstar first. "I don't see any hint of them around, at least."
"They say the river changed course in their favor, but they seem to forget that we can swim." Icepath argued. "The river could run directly into our camp and we'd still live there."

Spottedpaw got to his paws, puffing out his chest as he moved to mark the border. He took a moment to take in Thunderclan's scent and commit it to memory. "I think I got it Lynxdapple!"

"Thunderclan cats will swim when I grow three tails and fly." Iciclestep scoffed. "They'd sink like stones the second their paws lifted off the pebbles." He agreed with Icepath, appreciating the senior Warrior's firm words and resolve. He watched his father for a moment before he too began to mark along the border. "I can scent that they've been patrolling." He grumbled.
---
"Good work! Easy as breathing, right? Now, we'll take this time to work our way around and towards the Windclan border. Swiftstar seemed honest about his words at the gathering, so I'm hoping we won't have any issues between us." Lynxdapple nodded. "The border is another Thunderpath, by the way, so be ready. Though, this one is less crowded and has safer ways to get across." He explained.

“Indeed.” Troutfang continued along the border. “It’s a good thing we have the river to protect us. None of the other Clans can say that.”
Icepath scoffed. “They should spend more of their attention at Fourtrees to ensure ShadowClan doesn’t start a conquest.”

Spottedpaw nodded, but a small frown was evident on his face. "Why are so many of our borders monster paths? Do they surround all the clans?"

"Hopefully Shadowclan and Thunderclan wear eachother out into the ground so we can take back Sunningrocks without a hitch. Serves them right for their quarrels and pride." Iciclestep snorted, lashing his tail as he gazed at Sunningrocks once more.
---
Lynxdapple began padding along the border, following the edge of the territory. "They're easy to recognize and cats are less likely to cross. While our territory is not the most lush or prey-rich, it's suited to us and us alone, and the other clans would not benefit much from trying to steal it. At least, that's my theory on it." The senior Warrior explained with a hum, letting his pawsteps regain a bit of a skip to them. "Would you want to cross Thunderpaths just to creep around?"

Post by Willow on Mar 27, 2021 19:47:33 GMT -5
Spottedpaw shook his head quickly "No! I definitely wouldn't want to try to cross, unless it was an emergency. I suppose it does do a lot to keep outside cats out." he murmured thoughtfully. "And I guess we don't really have a reason to go outside the borders normally either."

Troutfang nodded. "That would be ideal. None of us would need to get injured in a fight."
Icepath finished marking the border, glancing towards Troutfang. "Looks like we're finished."

"The only time we cross borders is if our leader orders it, or if we're going to a gathering. Beyond that, it's best we not rile up the other clans." Lynxdapple admitted, preferring more peaceful methods over just battling. Even so, he knew he'd need to prepare Spottedpaw. "With your parents, I assume you know you'll need to train to learn some combat skills?"
---
"An uneventful patrol, but a successful one nonetheless." Iciclestep sighed, turning his head to groom a small reed from his white pelt, the specks of ginger highlighted against his light pelt. "I assume that's how most patrols go."

Spottedpaw flicked his ear in acknowledgement, "Yes, Spiderfang and Mouseclaw have already showed me some basic battle moves, but I haven't learned much yet. She didn't want to spoil my training." he mewed with a laugh. "She's really glad you're my mentor, she thinks you'll do a great job of teaching me."

We were practically raised together.” Lynxdapple chuckled fondly at the memory. “Myself, my brother, her, Pinefeather, Crowfur...” He trailed off then, thinking of the dark tom, missing him again. He shook the sadness away quickly, hiding it with a chuckle of humor. “And Flintclaw too, back when he was tiny like me. Though, he grew out of it. Guess I never could. We were little terrors back then, all of us... I’m glad your mother trusts me to teach you, because I certainly plan to.”

Spottedpaw's eyes narrowed as he tried to picture a younger Spiderfang and Lynxdapple, "What was Mama like when she was younger?" he asked suddenly, unable to contain himself. "Was she like how she is now? I've heard other cats say that she's sharp and mean, but I don't think that." he mewed with a pout.

"Was she like how she is now? I've heard other cats say that she's sharp and mean, but I don't think that." he mewed with a pout. Lynxdapple looked thoughtful at that, before he snickered. “Spiderfang was always determined and sharp. When she spoke her mind, she could sting like a hornet. But. She was also lively and loyal, and would not be afraid to tell a lie to keep us out of trouble...She became more reserved and solitary after a fire took your grandparents away many, many moons ago. Their deaths struck her ferociously. In return, she spent all of her time focused on her training, and with a mentor like Closesky, it paid off. The cost being that she came off as cold and brutal. She’s softened a bit over the moons, and I think you have your father and your siblings and yourself to thank for it.” He grinned at bit at the young tom. “I think Spiderfang was alone for a very long time. But when she had a family again, that old loyalty and care in her came right back.”

Spottedpaw hummed as he worked his way through Lynxdapple's words. "I guess that makes sense, I probably wouldn't be very happy in the clan without my family." he mewed with a flick of his ears. "Mama, Papa, Rustlepaw, Turkeypaw, Leaffrost and Lionscorch all mean so much to me! It makes clan life more fun."
