Silentflare shook his head. “I know it is.” He spoke. “But you have to learn. You have to train your senses if you want to be able to fight.” He spoke.
After a few minutes of walking they made it back towards camp. He moved to jump up onto high rock. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join understand for a clan meeting.”

Hollowpaw gave a nod and prepared herself for the next attack, straining her senses and pushing them to their limits.
Ghostscreech took his spot as deputy and looked around at the gathering clan.
My cats gathered.

Peachdapple looked up from her spot in the medicine den entrance, stepping out to move closer to her leader.
Frostmoon turned her head, ears falling a bit as she avoided Ghostscreech’s eyes.

Silentflare backed off again and circles around to the right this time. He kept his movements slow and quiet.
Lightningstar waited for everyone to gather before speaking. “I am sending a patrol to skyclan. Due to the lack of prey in our territory we are going to ask skyclan for permission to cross their territory to hunt in the twoleg place.” He spoke. “We also want to see if we can trade herbs in order to boost our supplies.”

Hollowpaw listened closely, hearing him moving again. This time she tried to track his scent too, trying to tell which way the wind was blowing it from.
Ghostscreech spotted Frostmoon and tried to give her a light smile, which turned to a frown as she looked away just as quickly. Was she upset with him? It seemed like she was constantly avoiding him lately. He looked back up at Lightningstar as he spoke. He just hoped SkyClan would agree with this.

Due to the lack of prey in our territory we are going to ask skyclan for permission to cross their territory to hunt in the twoleg place.” He spoke. “We also want to see if we can trade herbs in order to boost our supplies.” “Twolegplace!” Mothsong called up, immediately tense at the thought of interacting with cats she knew would probably have been friends of her father’s. “Herbs I can understand, but to hunt there?” She questioned, voice sharp but far less hostile than it used to be. “Why not?” Hornetstrike mused thoughtfully. “If Shadowclan can take Fourtrees, why can we not get creative with our prey too? We can’t make the forest grow back how we want, but we can control how far we’ll go to feed our kits. I’m all in!” He decided. “Ooh! Can I go?” Flurrypaw called up excitedly, only to quickly and gently be hushed by his father, who nodded knowingly to Lightningstar and Ghostscreech. “Yuck. Twolegplace.” Scarletpaw scoffed. She did not notice the wide eyed desperation of her mother behind her. Vixenrose swallowed, looking up at Lightningstar. Her son was probably in Twolegplace. Her paws itched for a chance to look for him. |

“Ghostscreech will lead a patrol of Peachdapple and Russetfox to skyclan..” Lightningstar spoke. “They will leave at once.”

“Ghostscreech will lead a patrol of Peachdapple and Russetfox to skyclan..” Lightningstar spoke. “They will leave at once.” Peachdapple stood to her paws with a light nod. They had been discussing this for a while, after all, and her herb stores desperately needed to be stocked with herbs that only Skyclan would have. A smaller patrol was better too in terms of making sure agreements would be soothing rather than hostile. She glanced at Russetfox. Frostmoon’s eyes flicked upwards towards Ghostscreech, locking eyes for a moment before guilt filled her. She knew he would succeed in his mission, unlike her. How could he possibly want her in that regard? |

Ghostscreech stood, finding Peachdapple and Russetfox with his eyes and gave a nod. He was ready to leave once Lightningstar dismissed the meeting.

“That’s all.” Lightningstar jumped down and moved to speak with Peachdapple, Ghostscreech, and Russetfox.
Russetfox quivered with excitement. She couldn’t believe she had been picked for such an important mission! She hurried over to the deputy and medicine cat.

“Certainly a good day for this patrol.” Peachdapple mewed, a positive tone to her voice as she greeted the deputy and young Warrior. She then looked at Lightningstar and nodded.
“I have all of the herbs we can ask for memorized. Aspenfall has the extra of what we can offer in return stored properly in the den. Hopefully, they will be as interested as we are.”

Lightningstar nodded to Peachdapple. “Be careful.” He warned them. “If it looks like trouble, leave. We don’t need to offend Skyclan.”

Ghostscreech stood up, ready to go, “We’ll be back soon. Hopefully with good news.” He said, looking back at Peachdapple and Russetfox, “Let’s go.” “Lead the way, Ghostscreech.” Peachdapple chuckled knowingly, though she glanced back a few times at Lightningstar, recently feeling more and more of an ache in her chest. She never spoke it aloud, but she could feel his lives waning, not many left remaining. The thought constantly lanced her with pain, not sure if she was ready yet to lose him. She pushed the thoughts away, focusing back on the deputy and Russetfox as she trailed after them. |

Lightningstar watched them leave, waving his tail at Peachdapple when he noticed her look back. He held back a nervous sigh. He only hoped Skyclan would be cooperative.
Russetfox hurried after the deputy. She was still excited to be apart of such an important mission.

Ghostscreech padded out of camp and turned towards the SkyClan border, setting off at a bit of a faster pace then normal. He glanced back at Russetfox and Peachdapple, making sure they were managing to keep up, “Remember, this is a peaceful patrol.” He reminded the young warrior, “If things don’t go our way, we can’t be brash.” He said

“Lavendersky has always been a very calm and composed cat.” Peachdapple mewed as she managed to keep up with the deputy. She gave Russetfox a small chuckle, adding onto the deputy’s words. “Spiderpaw, on the other paw, has a tendency to have a tongue sharper than stone. He cares very much for his Clanmates, but that care probably will not extend very easily to you or I. I have faith in our composure though.”
She looked at Ghostscreech then, defending Russetfox with a hum of humor. “I’m sure Russetfox won’t let anything get out of line. Starclan knows I will not either.”

Russetfox rolled her eyes at the deputy. Of course she knew that. She wasn’t going to ruin the patrol! “I know.” She spoke. “I won’t do anything stupid, I promise.” She looked at him. She easily kept up with the deputy but her paws itched to race ahead.

Ghostscreech flicked his ear, “Either way, it doesn’t hurt to be cautious.” He said. He wasn’t sure how open Spiritstar would be to this idea, they would just have to do their best to convince her.
(Do we want to go to border page or just SkyClan page?)

“I will vouch for us. Remember that Spiritstar was once a medicine cat herself. If Starclan disapproved of this, we would have been given a sign, and her nature is one of empathy. Of all of the Clans, Skyclan is the most likely to be open to such talks.” Peachdapple soothed, hoping that she at least could persuade them to see the benefits with her own viewpoint as a Medicine Cat.
(Maybe Skyclan page? Might be easier.)

Plumfur was surprised that she was open to the idea. She didn't want to be lazy, and she certainly didn't want to get yelled at for slacking. "Maybe for a little bit," she mewed. "But not too long." "I wish it were easy to accept too." Nighteye rested his tail on Yarrowcloud's shoulder. "And you absolutely still have a use. What kind of Clan would call their Clanmates useless? That's something that rogues do." he reassured. "You know tons about fighting, hunting, and life in general. I wouldn't hesitate to ask you for help if I need it." Magpiewing prepared for his strike, tensing her shoulder muscles. A feint. A good start. she thought, raising her paws to meet his. “You hunted for the clan just now. I’d say that you deserve the rest after that.” Dapplenight admitted. He himself had been on patrol earlier, and he was more than happy to spend time with her in their nest together. He couldn’t help but feel something was truly off, and he hoped she was okay. “…When Shadeclaw banished me, and Eagleclaw, in that moment I was assured that his words were asinine. Wrong. As time has passed though, a part of me… I still think about it. It’s hard not to let those thoughts take over, when some days they feel… true.” Yarrowcloud released a heavy breath, not wanting to put all this on his apprentice. “Maybe I just need more kits to visit me. Drizzlepaw and Flurrypaw are apprentices now, they can’t visit me like they used to.” He mewed, fondly of his grandkits. "I see. Thanks for your reassurance, at least..." Plumfur said, being her quiet and unsure self. She pushed into the den, looking at her nest. The tiredness she was feeling still felt off. Nighteye swished his tail, listening carefully to his mentor. "I'm sure the nursery would be glad to have you visit. You're a trusted member of ThunderClan, no matter what rank you are." he nodded. "I bet the kits would want to talk to someone besides their parents, too." |

With a wide yawn, Emberblaze woke up, stretching her legs a bit before coming to her paws. Blinking the last vestiges of sleep away, she looked around, checking if anybody was up to something that might require her assistence. If not, she would just patrol the border again. Border patrols were good. A great opportunity to get her paws moving as well as the potential for conflict, what was there to not love about them? (hello and a good day to everyone here!  ) |

Dapplenight settled quickly on his side of the nest, looking up at his mate with wide and bright eyes, only to tilt his head and give her a sympathetic and caring look. "Really though. Anything you need, I'll get it for you, or do it for you. Always." He mewed softly. "I do love seeing all the kits." Yarrowcloud mewed fondly, though a part of him also felt a bit nervous when new kits were born. With all his injuries, he was terrified of scaring any of the kits. Even so, he just wanted desperately to feel like he still had a purpose in the clan. He weaved the last stick into the den and looked at Nighteye again. "You ever think about having some of your own one day?" |

Border patrols were good. A great opportunity to get her paws moving as well as the potential for conflict, what was there to not love about them? (hello and a good day to everyone here!  ) "You seem pretty light on your paws today." Midnightstream exclaimed as she approached Emberblaze, the social young Warrior unable to help herself as curiosity struck her. "Lightningstar's announcement was pretty eventful. To think that we might be working together with Skyclan and getting extra prey from Twolegplace... it's almost unreal!" She breathed, awe in her voice. |

"Yeah, sounds great and all.", Emberblaze huffed, not sounding very enthusiastic about the prospect, "Too good even. Something will go wrong, one way or the other. It allways does."
Yawning again, she shook herself a bit.
"I need to get moving, or I'll just fall asleep again." Her gaze came to rest on Midnightstream, while her tone stayed a bit grumpy. "What about you? Do you have anything to do? Need help with anything?"

Plumfur settled into her nest, curling into the soft moss and feathers. "Thank you." she murmured, her tone full of affection despite her current state. She didn't know what she'd do without him. "I'll see if I feel better first before making you get stuff for me."
Nighteye thought on it for a moment before giving a shrug. "I can't really see it. My mind's been focused on the Clan above all else," he answered. "And I believe Slatesight's are enough for me to handle." He didn't interact with them too much, but he knew of the drama that entailed his brother's relationship with his mate and kits.

Hollowpaw sat outside the apprentices den, grooming her pelt. The battle training yesterday hadn’t gone how she hoped it would, but maybe the hunting patrol would go better today. She sighed, shaking her head, it seemed like Silentflare was taking her training slow and easy. All they did for battle training yesterday was work on her reflexes.
