Skyflight leaped down from the ledge she had been lounging on, knowing it was almost time for her to lead her border patrol. She looked around the camp, hoping to see some available clanmates to join her.
Frigidshard was up on a ledge, grooming his fluffy fur for the seventh time of the day. He had to look good at all times after all.
Sparrowstrike was sharing a sparrow with Twigpaw, though whatever he and his son were talking about didn't seem to be go well. Twigpaw's ears were pinned back, the young tom looking hostile toward his bewildered father.
Specklepaw entered camp with a fresh bundle of moss, she scampered eagerly toward the elder's den. Wondering if Lichenglaze would have time to tell her a story.
Briarpatch herded her kits out of the nursery, settling down outside to watch them play.
Luckykit wobbled over to a leaf, giggling as he crunched it with his front paw.
Snailkit hurtled toward a pinecone that was lying abandoned near the fresh kill pile, tackling it with a squeal of excitement. The pinecone was nearly the same size as the young kit.

Brightsky - Skyclan Camp - With Skyflight (Willow )Brightsky woke from her nap, stepping around Larkfrost. When she exited the den she waved her tail at Clovertail, who was grooming her pelt. Brightsky looked around camp, seeing Skyflight looking around camp as well. Brightsky padded over to the other she-cat, waving her tail in greeting. "How are you doing?" She asked, sitting down next to Skyflight.

Viperpaw dipped her head in thanks, "Okay then, I'll try to practice more while you do, good luck," she watched as her mentor stalked off to go hunt before hoping down to the bottom again, although she was tired, she was determined to practice untill she could clear each rock with ease, speed, and grace. Lilith flicked her tail leisurely, slinking off through a few of the ledge paths until the crevices grew narrow. She tracked down a mouse scent, waiting with her paws crossed at the entrance of one of the small crevices. After a few moments, the mouse poked its head out, much to Lilith's enjoyment. She snagged it with reflexes as quick as lightning, killing the prey brutally before smiling down at it. "She'll enjoy this. Starved little thing." She crooned to herself. Viperpaw leaped from rock to rock, soon she spotted Lilith coming back with a mouse, "Thanks," Viperpaw meowed before hoping down from the rocks, she took a few bites then stared at the rest, "It's your catch, are you going to have any?" She stared back at Lilith, wondering if she'd have the rest to herself or like any normal cat would do (atleast, the rouges she had lived with), would take the rest of the prey to fill their own belly.

Skyflight dipped her head in greeting to Brightsky, "Hello, I'm doing well. I was just about to gather a border patrol together. Whitesun wanted me to check the Shadowclan border. Perhaps you'd like to join me if you're free?" dewbranch

Eat it all, you need it.” Lilith mused, watching Viperpaw for a few moments before she gave a curling grin. “And now, to hide the prey scent on your breath, all you need to do is snag a mouse of your own. They pop out of these crevices. Like snacks.” She crooned, nodding to one. “Know how to catch a mouse, dear?”

"Well, she was a strong warrior, and she made you as strong as she was." Mudwasp said, his eyes trained on the ongoings of the camp. His ear twitched when he spotted his sister and Withermist come back into camp, wondering where those two had gone off to. "Those two sure look pretty happy with themselves. I wonder what's gotten them into such a good mood today." He observed. Frostlight nodded in agreement, starting towards where he mother was resting. "Sounds like a plan, I don't want to bother Wildstorm while he's busy." She said. Shadowmask looked up when she spotted her daughter and Withermist approaching, giving them a friendly smile, "Hey, you two. What are you up to?" She asked, biting back a yawn. Laying in the sun had made her pretty tired, but she was more than happy to have a conversation with Frostlight and Withermist. "Right." Rainpaw mewed, turning around. She righted her position and took another leap off the rock, keeping her paws spread out like Starlingdust had told her to. She landed a little more steady this time and quickly turned back around, taking another leap up and landing on the rock again. "Hmph." Echowing narrowed her eyes lightly as she looked down at Withermist. He always had an energy to him that made her skin prickle. Seeing him look so happy though, at Frostlight's side, she could only assume one thing. "I think it's pretty obvious what could make them so content and moony. Though, I never thought Withermist could even comprehend that kind of thing..." Withermist stared unblinkingly at Shadowmask, though his voice was respectful as he mewed bluntly. "Frostlight offered the idea that we should tell you... and her other kin, that the two of us are now mates. Her happiness makes me happy, and so, ah... that is what mates are, I believe." He nodded, assuring to himself. "Excellent job. You catch on quick. A few more times, and you'll see it's much easier. Does it feel easier already?" Starlingdust asked, watching her apprentice carefully. Mudwasp blinked in surprise, remembering how Frostlight had all but admitted to having feelings for the strange tom the other day in her conversation with Dewcloud. "I didn't think so either. Guess Frostlight was able to help him figure it out." He said, his tail twitching as he watched his sister and her apparent new mate approach his mother. Judging from the happy and surprised look that crossed Shadowmask's face, it seemed what Echowing was implying wasn't far off either. Shadowmask stared at the two briefly as what Withermist said registered to her before she gave a happy purr and smile, "That's great news! I'm happy for you, Frostlight. Wildstorm always told me how great of an apprentice you were, Withermist, I'm sure you'll be a great mate for my daughter." She mewed, offering the tom a smile as well. Frostlight purred at her mother's acceptance, glad that she didn't seem to share Dewcloud's reservations about Withermist. "Thank you, Shadowmask. I just wanted to let you know, we can leave you to rest now." She mewed, reaching forward to press against her mother briefly before stepping back and looking at Withermist with a smile. Rainpaw nodded her head, glad that she was able to pick up what Starlingdust was teaching her pretty easily, "Yes, it does! I think I understand a bit better now." She mewed.

"I never paid much mind to the moonings of my siblings." Echowing muttered lightly. After all, Dreamlily and Whisperstone never really had much interest in romance. They all had too much on their minds, not that it mattered anymore. Dreamlily would never confide that in her again anyway. Gritting her teeth, she shook her head. "Good for Frostlight and Withermist then. May their love be easy..."
Withermist was surprised at how easily Shadowmask accepted it, though he felt a small smile grace his muzzle. For all of Withermist's oddities, Wildstorm had taught him all that he could, and had been fun and kind in doing so. To hear he thought highly of him made Withermist feel happier. He rasped. "I'll be anything that makes Frostlight happy. Thank you... for accepting me." He glanced at Frostlight, wondering if he had done that conversation right.
"Good. Then I'm doing this mentoring thing right." Starlingdust teased, before she nodded. "Let's try some staggered jumps. Leaping from one rock to another. Want to try it?"

Brightsky - Skyclan Camp - With Skyflight (Willow )
Brightsky nodded. "I would love too! Is anyone else going to go?" She asked, glancing around camp to see if anyone was coming in their direction. Skyflight nodded, "I'm sure we could round up another cat or two. I know Whitesun didn't want too small of patrols going out with the possibility of prey-maulers being around." she replied, her face growing grim. With a small sigh, she turned to face the rest of the camp, seeing who else was lounging around and may want to join them. dewbranchIce, Blazer you wanna through cats in for a border patrol? )

“I’ll join you.” Dreamlily mewed softly as she approached the growing patrol. She turned her head away from where Echowing and Mudwasp were lounging on the ledges, disdain for them sharp in the gentle she-cat’s eyes. Her gaze softened though as she looked at the patrol. “I’d like to get out of camp, do something to ease my mind…”

Kestrelfrost yawned as he hoped down the ledges and gave a leisurely stretch before he padded towards Skyflight, Brightsky and Dreamlily, “You guys going on a patrol? If you need an extra paw, I’m free for a patrol.” He mewed.

If you need an extra paw, I’m free for a patrol.” He mewed. Dreamlily turned to look at Kestrelfrost as he approached, her heavy eyes lifting as she gave him a kind look. “Hi, Kestrelfrost. I wouldn’t say no to you joining us.” She looked at Clovertail and Skyflight for approval. Kestrelfrost was a good Clanmate, and certainly one Dreamlily had no issue with at all.

Mudwasp flicked his ear and looked back at Echowing, turning his attention away from his sister and Withermist, "Something on your mind? It looks like there's something else troubling you besides what we were talking about earlier today." He commented. Frostlight gave Withermist a happy smile before mewing a quick goodbye to Shadowmask, "We'll leave you to rest now." She mewed, giving her new mate a small nudge and leaving the queen to continue with her rest. "You did great, Withermist. That wasn't so hard." She purred. Rainpaw hesitated for moment before giving a small nod of her head, "Yeah, I wanna try it." She mewed, looking around at the rocks surrounding them. Rainpaw tried to imagine a pathway for her to follow for which rock to jump to next.

Echowing opted to claw at one of the pebbles near her paw, sending it falling off the ledge as she sighed. “Nothing worth concern. I guess I was thinking of how long the Twolegplace patrol was taking, is all.” She admitted, half-lying, half-honest, for different reasons.
Withermist trailed after Frostlight with a small quirk of his muzzle. “Did I really do a good job?… I’m glad. She’s very kind. Like you.” He mewed honestly. “She feels light. There is light around her. Like you. It’s good.” He purred, raspy and faint.
“Alright. Let’s use those two boulders.” Starlingdust glanced over at two boulders near one of the cliff faces. One was taller, but both were close enough to leap from top to top. Starlingdust instructed. “Start by leaping onto the shorter one. Once you gain your balance, you’ll do the same jump to the taller boulder.”
Dreamlily noticed Kestrelfrost’s lingering gaze, and she found herself a bit enamored by the bright color of his eyes. Against his darker fur, their color was striking. She averted her eyes lightly, a bit shyly as she gave a soft smile.

Mudwasp watched her briefly before giving a small nod, feeling like there was more to why she seemed so down. "I'm sure they'll be here soon. Maybe they're taking some extra time to make sure none of the prey they bring back is poisoned." He suggested, glancing at the camp entrance as if to see if the patrol was coming through right that minute.
Frostlight gave a fond smile at the thought of her mother, glancing back at the pregnant queen as they walked away from her. "She was always good to us when we were kits. I couldn't ask for a better mother honestly." She said, letting her fur brush lightly against his.
"Right, got it." Rainpaw said, hopping down from the rock she was currently on and approaching the ones that Starlingdust had pointed out. She paused for a moment and eyed the first rock briefly before she readied herself, leaping up onto it without any problems. When she felt like she had her balance back, Rainpaw made another leap for the taller rock, but had misjudged the distance and jump. Her front paws landed on the rock, but her back paws scrabbled around as she pulled herself up, letting out a grunt as she did.

“Hmph.” Echowing mumbled, eyes trained on the camp entrance almost expectantly. “That could be the case. Sorry. I don’t mean to sound paranoid or overly concerned. But, they’re Clanmates, after all.” She covered up her frustration with the same sappy loyalty talk that all the precious pure-blooded Clan members surely liked to chant. Soon, hopefully, she could be fully honest with him as a new Clanmate of a newly united Clans.
Withermist looked happily at Frostlight, mewing lightly. “It… may seem like an odd question, but what does it feel like? To have a mother… I know that the Queens at the time watched over me, but I… don’t know what a mother does. Or a father. But, you telling me, I can be very happy with your memories, if I don’t have my own.” He asked.
Starlingdust was quick to pad to the side of the boulder in case Rainpaw slipped down. Luckily, the apprentice managed to pull herself back up. Starlingdust sighed in relief. “Nice save! Timing the jump and getting the right angle can be hard. All we can do to improve is practice. Another way to do it is to carry a bright stone and place it down when you find the perfect jump. Then, when you go back to practice that same jump, you’ll have marked the exact spot to aim for.”

"It's alright. I'm starting to get worried myself." Mudwasp said with a sigh, his eyes straying to the entrance again. "I'm just trying to think of reasons on why they're so late, I don't want to think of the worst that could happen." He added, his tail twitching in worry for his clanmates.
"That isn't an odd question at all." Frostlight mewed, her tail flicking in thought as she tried to think of the best way to describe the feeling of having parents. "This probably isn't a very good explanation, so bear with me, okay? From my experience with my parents, they were always there to give us the love and care that we needed when we were kits. And then when we became apprentices, they knew to step back and let us find our own way, but were still there for us to give us the advice we needed when we struggled with something." She said, looking back at Withermist. "I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not, but that's the best I can really come up with."
Rainpaw sighed in relief, glad that she hadn't slipped off the rock completely. She turned around and jumped back down onto the lower rock and turned to face Starlingdust as she spoke. "Can I try again then?" She asked, her eyes already searching out the perfect rock for her to use to mark her jumping point.

"Could be twolegs." Echowing shrugged lightly, trying not to make her thought clear on the matter. She offered a possible idea, and it really could be the case. She was close to becoming antsy, anger building in her.
Withermist listened intently, his belly growing warm at the mere thought of such love and support. Was that what it felt like? To create such a brilliant light like Frostlight, her mother and father surely had to have been wonderful. He knew somewhere in the darkness, he did have parents, yet his circumstances felt... different. Created, but not born. Meant to exist a long time ago, but chosen to exist now. Withermist purred softly. "It makes sense. I can feel the warmth from you, as if in my own heart."
"Of course you can try again." Starlingdust chuckled, proud of Rainpaw's determination to train. "I'd never stop you from trying. Let's start from the bottom, and go again."

"Maybe. If they don't come back soon, maybe Spiritstar will let us go search for them." Mudwasp said, not wanting to leave anything to chance. "I'm sure ThunderClan must be starting to get worried too. How long until Lightningstar decides to send a patrol here in search of his missing patrol?"
Frostlight purred and pressed against Withermist again, "I'm glad that I was able to help you understand it a bit better then." She mewed, giving his cheek a small lick. "Should we go see if Wildstorm is done with the warriors den now?" Frostlight asked.
"Okay!" Rainpaw said, jumping down from the shorter rock. She glanced around briefly before she bent down and picked up a decent sized rock in her mouth. Now that she was ready, Rainpaw turned back around and readied herself before jumping onto the first rock without any problems again. She eyed the next rock after she regained her balance, wanting to make sure that she would be able to land the jump this time. Rainpaw jumped again, this time managing to land all four of her paws onto the rock, but still slipped a little as she landed.

Echowing bristled a bit, her eyes narrowing at the thought of having to see the Thunderclan leader. All of the cats that despised him in the Dark Forest made strong points. She shook her head sharply. "I'm not too keen on him showing up for any reason. Hopefully, we won't have to see him waltzing to our camp." She snorted.
"Yes. We can." Withermist nodded softly, looking out across camp to where Wildstorm was now resting beside his finished work at the Warrior's den. The older tom looked worn yet satisfied with his work, though he quickly noticed Frostlight and Withermist approaching him. He waved his tail in greeting to his daughter and his apprentice.
"Much better! You're still slipping a bit, so I want you to try it again. The more you do it, the less and less you'll slip." Starlingdust nodded, moving to leap up onto a different boulder to get a better view of her apprentice's leaps.

Skyflight dipped her head to Kestralfrost before she got to her paws and started leading the patrol out of camp. "Thank you for joining us! Whitesun wanted us to check out the Shadowclan border before his hunting patrol got back. With the twolegplace patrols, he doesn't want our other borders being neglected." dewbranch Moonblazer Icefire15

Mudwasp nodded in agreement, his tail lashing at the thought of the ThunderClan leader coming into their camp again so soon after his last visit. "Before we know it, ThunderClan will think they can just come here whenever they please." He said with a sigh.
Frostlight smiled at Wildstorm as they approached, giving a happy wave of her tail, "Hello, Wildstorm. We just wanted to share some news with you." She started, looking over at Withermist as she spoke. "Withermist and I are mates now, and I just wanted to tell both you and mother about it." Frostlight added bashfully, wanting both of her parents approval in her choice of mate.
Rainpaw nodded as she jumped down and turned back around to try the jumps again. She repeated the same jumps again, this time managing to land on both rocks with minimal slips. Rainpaw set the rock she was holding down on that spot, planning on trying again once more.
"Sounds like a plan." Kestrelfrost said as he followed after Skyflight and the others. His tail twitched at the thought about ShadowClan, "I wonder if ShadowClan's territory was affected by the heavy rain. Those marshes are bound to overflow from all of it." He commented.
