Shadefang grunted agreement through the eagleβs feathers. It would definitely get them out of the warriorsβ hair for a bit. Eldermoon had been doing a great job as an elder already, telling stories and getting them into trouble with their parents. She had already taught some of the kits a few unpleasant phrases. Shadefang hobbled down the rocks, glad the eagle was fairly young so it wasnβt very heavy. When they finally got back to the cave entrance, she drug it into camp with her chest puffed out a bit in pride.

Littlepoppy got his claws into the catβs feet for a few moments, but the lynx quickly caught on and grabbed the ginger tom by the scruff and tossed him to the side. Littlepoppy rolled before hitting the trunk of a tree; he got up and shook out his head, trying not to fall over. Warriors wouldnβt pass out after just hitting a tree, he needed to be stronger! He also needed to get the lynx as far fro camp and Bumblekit as possible. He ran up and slashed the lynx in the face before darting away in the opposite direction of camp, and the lynx took suit. βStay in the bush!β he called as he ran by the kit.

Bouldersplash had only grown more confused during their trip while trying to fully understand the goal today "Okay, so what you are saying is that you want to sneak around and dont want Cederclan to notice you?" He tried, finding it very hard to keep his voice from a question. He quickly took a look around him, seeing if there were any cats following the two or if they were alone before also asking "Are you trying to go to the old territory?" Part of him was curious on what the old territory looked like now, the prey was probably just as plentiful there, so it could add a better source of food given Cederclan had moved on or disbanded since the fight, so he wasn't totally against masking their scents to do recon.

Emberpaw kept quiet for the journey, taking quick notes on what path they took. It was different from the normal path, so she wondered if it was faster or not. Once they reached the stream, Emberpaw's tail flicked from side to side, now that she was staring at the water, her excited goal seemed really out of reach. At this point she would be glad to even get one or two fish, not the 20 she wanted. "I just dont want to fall into the river today" she mused.

Fawnstep followed her inside, purring loudly. Even though she had been the one to do the final blow on the bird, she was proud of her for wounding it enough to make it possible. She looked to the nursery, wondering if the kits would be out soon. "Should we just bring it to them or put it on the pile and hope they find it? I doubt the warriors touch it before they do." She mewed, putting her head to the side.

Bumblekit continued to hide, watching him run away before turning her attention to the mountainside. There was no point in breaking her cover and trying to make a break for it, she was way too small to make the travel up there herself. She tried to stop herself from shaking as she crouched down and closed her eyes tightly, trying to picture herself somewhere else. If only she had been a few moons old, well several actually. Then she could actually be of some help to the tom instead of hiding out in a bush like a weakling.

Ashpelt brushed through the entrance to the leader's den and stopped when he saw Fogstar; he looked worse than when he had last seen him. With a small but evident frown, the deputy sat down near Fogstar's nest. He was silent for quite some time, simply trying to piece together how to tell the older tom what he was thinking. Finally, Ashpelt opened his mouth. "Fogstar, I think I speak for the clan when I say this; you need to get it together." Ashpelt had noticed Fogstar's hesitance to eat and how he showed his face less and less as the days went on. With a soft grunt, the younger tom lowered himself to the ground so he was laying in front of his leader, paws tucked beneath him. "You're the leader of Fogclan, Fogstar, not some elder meant to sit in their den all day. For Starclan's sake, Eldermoon leaves the den more often than you! And let's not even start with that naming ceremony." If I ever become leader, my first order of business will be fixing those names, he thought with a scowl. His features softened and he looked to Fogstar with genuine concern. "What is going on with you?"

"Why does it matter what's going on with me, Ashpelt? The clan comes first and foremost before the leader." He mewed, curling his tail over his paws. He spared a glance to him, sighing now. "Ever since Ravenstar came forth with the truth about me I've been thinking about it. What if Starclan truly thinks that I wasn't meant to lead our clan?" He made the comment as nonchalant as he could, trying not to give away too much but it still sent shivers down his spine remembering his own nine lives ceremony. He could feel the pain shooting through his body as though it had just happened. It was even worse than the wound he had received from Ravenstar, was that not enough punishment? Why couldn't they just let him be? Ashpelt was running the clan fine without him, the clan seemed better off with their leader holed up in the den, only giving orders in small doses here and there.
"As for the naming ceremony..." He quickly changed the subject, not wanting to give him the time to actually answer his question as he had changed his mind. "Eldermoon likes her name, so I don't see what the problem is, we all get weird names sometimes. I mean look at..." He tried to think of another warrior, one before him, who might have had a weirder name than hers but his mind was blank. He rolled his eyes and let out a short hmph. "Very well, you have a point. But what's said is done and the name remains."

Flintfur waited for his mate to take her leave, looking down to his kit proudly. He had been right, they would be great warriors for Fogclan in their time. He couldn't wait to see who would mentor them, he knew he couldn't but it didn't mean he couldn't watch from afar when the time came. "Alright Rainkit, is your brother ready also?" He asked, glancing to the other kit, he hoped Smokekit would have the same eagerness but it was all up in the air, he'd have to test it out today. He gave a soft purr and nudged Cloudsplash out, wanting her gone before he began his training.

Shadefang looked to the nursery as well, then nodded toward it hoping the message would get across. She dragged the eagle through the camp clearing before dropping it at the nurseryβs entrance. βGood morning,β she mewed into the den, peering her head inside. She could see Flintfur was already awake and keeping Cloudsplash company. Littlepoppy didnβt seem to be there, though, and she wasnβt sure if all the kits were inside, but it wasnβt her job to keep tabs on them.

Palemouse hovered at the edge of the stream.βI pray you don't because I'm not a... strong swimmerβ She mewed whispering the last part to herself.Palemouse gazed down at the water surface looking for signs of life. Crouching down, she dipped her tail in the stream. To avoid getting into the water she decided on using her tail as bait."Fishing requires a lot of patience, especially when the fish decide to hide".

"Come on, Fogstar, I know you're not a complete fool." Ashpelt's eyes narrowed and he sat back up, looking down at his leader with a harsh gaze. "You're the leader of Fogclan; you represent the clan. If you're not at your best, how do you think that makes the clan look?" The gray tom did his best to restrain the anger he felt, but it was beginning to become difficult. He considered letting loose on the leader and, after a few moments of contemplation, decided that it was for the best that he did. "Fogstar, you can't keep acting afraid. If you're worried about your worthiness as clan leader, the rest of the clan will do the same. We look to you for guidance because you're our leader. If even you are unsure about your place in that position, well..." Ashpelt trailed off; he didn't have to finish. He shook his head and glanced towards the den entrance. "Well, just try to get out more. The clan is worried. Also, Leopardpaw should be having his assessment soon, so try to think of a good name for him." The deputy stood and dipped his head towards Fogstar, then turned around and left the den.

Fogstar watched his deputy leave before returning to his wall staring. He needed to think of a name for the apprentice, something. Leopardfoot? No too...footy. He needed a proper name, something actually good for him instead of what he had given as of late. He sighed, lifting himself all the way up. Perhaps, a short walk would help? He could take Snailpaw out to do some more training...something like that. He turned and left his den before scanning the clearing, wondering where the apprentice was. He had no clue where he'd go with her but it'd be somewhere, perhaps he'd let her decide. That'd be a fun change of pace, letting someone else make the choices. Like you have been doing the past moon? A bitter voice laughed in his head, he rolled his eyes, ignoring the comment as though it was an actual cat speaking to him.

Snailpaw padded carefully out of her den. She saw Kitepaw sitting in the clearing and instinctively went in the other direction, trying to avoid his gaze. She hadnβt spoken to him since the battle, where she saw him kill another cat. She knew in her heart that he probably had a good reason, and Kitepaw would never be so bloodthirsty - it was a battle, after all. But she was too scared to say something now, in case she would make him upset. She let out a sigh, then noticed Fogstar coming out of her den and perked her ears happily. βGood morning, Fogstar!β she mewed as she moved toward him. He didnt look so good, but he definitely looked better than he did right after the battle.

Poisonface was sitting just outside the warriorβs den when Ashpelt announced who was going on patrol. She felt excitement prick her pads when she heard they were being put on border patrol; she hadnβt gotten to see much of the territory, so this would be a great time to get to know it, as well as her Clanmates. She was never a very social cat, but maybe forcing her into these situations would help. She walked over to the apprenticeβs den and stuck her head inside. βChickadeepaw, Magpiepaw?β she mewed, just loud enough to wake them up.

Fogstar looked down to his apprentice, his eyes scanning over her for a few moments before he nodded to the entrance. "We are going to go training today, I think. Probably bring along..." His eyes fell onto Shadefang with Fawnstep, he knew the she-cat well enough, well he didn't know her. He preferred it that way, she seemed rather grumpy at times but he could put up with the change of pace. She was one of the few cats in the clan that seemed to actually still look to him as his leader. "Shadefang, and her apprentice, Kitepaw." He mewed, his eyes flashing. Perhaps he could prove Ashpelt wrong today, he would get more involved. Somehow, and maybe Shadefang knew good warrior names. Or not, she was a kittypet before she was a warrior, wasn't she? Leopardpet doesn't sound too good.

Scorchfeather was close behind her, making himself as small as possible. He felt safe here but he couldn't help worrying, it was in his nature. He looked to the apprentice's den when she called for the apprentices, waiting for them to come out. He never had one of these before, being a young warrior himself. But it was a nice change of pace for him, Chickadeepaw seemed friendly enough so far. He didn't envy Poisonface at all, sure that their sister would be teaching him instead if Poisonface and him switched their apprentice's.

Snailpawβs eyes widened, and she felt something drop in her stomach. She had been doing so good avoiding him... and now sheβd have to train with him? βReally?β she said, her voice starting to whine. βWith Kitepaw?β

Chickadeepaw finally stirred out of their nest and lifted their head to look up at who entered the den. They blinked away sleep, then let out a purr when they realized who it was. βGood morning,β they mewed as they stretched out their front legs with a yawn. βAre we training today?β

Fogstar turned his head to the side. "Yes...with Kitepaw?" He repeated, wondering if he had something else. He was sure he had said Kitepaw, there was only one Kitepaw in the clan and no cat had a name that sounded like that. "You're whining, aren't you?" He guessed, letting out a huff. She's whining about training with a clan mate? Weird...Weird cat. Why did I assign myself to her again? "He's your clan mate, Snailpaw, he doesn't even look like Ravenstar...I think." He tried to spot the apprentice, to make sure he was right. No he was a dark gray, not black..and tabby. Also smaller, probably less evil, he'd have to ask. "Come on, Snailpaw, we don't have all the apprentice's in the world to choose from. Chickadeepaw and their sister are going out with the new cats. Emberpaw is going out with Palemouse to do something, probably nothing I'm interested in and we are playing a good ol' game of avoid Leopardpaw because I need to think of a good warrior name for him to shove it in Ashpelt's face."

"A patrol, I think." Scorchfeather admitted, he wasn't actually sure. He had overheard bits and pieces here and there but not a lot, he felt bad for not listening more but he had been asleep until Poisonface had started to move. "We are probably going to see the borders of the clan, I think it's best if you learned it a bit more with your sister." He commented, peering pasted them into the apprentice's den. He was a bit nervous to be doing the patrol with more cats he didn't know too well, but at least he had them and his own sister by his side right now. He hoped Snowfrost could manage without them for the day, or she was chosen as another cat to join them.

"I mean in general."Sprucemask replied."If you were trying to sneak up on someone or spy on them and they knew your scent,wouldn't you want to not be recognized?."He started following the stream,straying every so often to avoid anything that might give a challenge to Bouldersplash."As for the old territory,I left my favorite stick there and haven't been able to get it back."

Snailpaw lashed her tail but decided not to say anything else on the topic. It seemed she didnβt have a choice in the matter anyway. βMaybe I am whining,β she huffed, giving Fogstar a playful smirk. When he mentioned Leopardpaw she had to hold back a purr of amusement. βJust go for something simple,β she said, padding around her leader as they waited for Shadefang. βLike Leopardpelt. Or Leopardclaw.β

Chickadeepaw frowned. That wasnβt as fun, but at least they were headed out on the territory. Maybe they could hunt something on the way and impress Scorchfeather! βAlright,β they mewed, shaking the rest of the moss of their pelt before giving Magpiepaw a push with their front paw. βWake up...β

Rainkit turned to beckon Smokekit over βCome on slowpoke!βWhile waiting he began to knead the ground with impatient paws. Hopefully he could show off what he learned today to Bumblekit when she returned.βWhat hunting move are you going to show us today? Would it be for catching a mouse or what about a big ole hawk!β he asked starting to ramble off now.

Magpiepaw grunted in annoyance as Chickadeepaw's voice cut through her dreams of squirrels, then hissed as their paw shoved her shoulder. "Whassit?" she growled, jerking upright. Magpiepaw was a restless sleeper - her fur had been pushed and shoved every which way in the night, and she looked a mess. She shook herself out, scruff prickling self-consciously, and got to her feet with a yawn. "What are we doing?" she asked her sibling. "Eh - mentors. Are they outside?"

Emberpaw crouched down next to the water as well, tilting her head towards Palemouse slightly, watching closely for a second as this was a bit of a different tactic than what she was used to "What are you doing with your tail?" She whispered, eyes darting between Palemouse and the water below. She understood the basics, keep still and then strike when a fish is close enough, she had heard that many times but this is the first time she ever say anything going on with a tail.

Bouldersplash stopped in his tracks for just a second after what he just heard, jaw half slacked in a mix of shock and awe. It was only a few more seconds before he started moving again. So what he understood was that Sprucemask was A- he was possibly going to start spying on other cats and B... "We're digging out a badger...for a stick" Bouldersplash couldn't help but let out a small laugh, it was completely unexpected. He took a quick glance up towards the sun, trying to gauge how far into the day they were. "Barely through into the morning..." He muttered, giving another small laugh "And you already made my day"
