canarypaw of skyclanaccompanied by Squirrelstar, Paleslip & Sharp-paw | streamCanarypaw trailed after Squirrelstar for a short amount of time before her gaze moved to the smaller branches of the tree they had found. He felt a shiver crawl down his spine briefly and took a deep breath, putting his front paws first on to the branch, seeing if it could hold its weight. So far so good, he thought, glancing back at Squirrelstar and giving a sharp nod. This tree felt stronger than most in SkyClan's territory. He then padded a bit further and brought his hind legs onto the branch. It didn't feel shaky to him, so that was a good sign. Hopefully RiverClan's trees would provide relief to SkyClan.
The sound of his mentor's mew caught his attention, but he didn't dare turn around. Instead, he faced forward and listened intently. His ears twitched every now and then to show he was paying attention. His head hung low for a bit when Squirrelstar mentioned her littermates passed when she was a kit. At least he still had Bravepaw... but how for long? How long would it be until he too passed? The way she had spoken didn't exactly sit well with Canarypaw. If anything, it added some fuel to the fire, though he wasn't going to act out right now. What happened to Bravepaw wasn't the same as kits dying at birth or even a bit after that. No, his brother was alive and living through misery.
"I'm sorry about your littermates, Squirrelstar," he mewed solemnly. He did feel terrible for his leader, he really did. He didn't want to imagine his life without Bravepaw. It would be miserable and pitiful to say the least. He then fell silent before padding further up the tree branch. He felt its shorter branches shudder as if there was a breeze.
He suddenly raised his voice, "It was out of my control. It was out of everyone's control! Just because he's strong doesn't change that! StarClan didn't do their job or whatever their job is supposed to be. What a joke they are." He scoffed with a roll of his eyes. So much for ancestors looking out for the clans.
Worried? Did she really believe it was just him worrying? He and Bravepaw may not be joined at the hip, but her comment felt like claws raking down his back. He cared for his brother even if he didn't show it at times and Bravepaw meant something to him unlike their father. "Whether Bravepaw wants me to worry or not, that's not up to you," he hissed underneath his breath.
He paused for several moments, running through all the thoughts that were jumbled in his mind. He'll never be able to walk again. He's probably crippled for life and yet she thinks she understands? Being alive and suffering isn't the same as being dead before taking your first steps, he thought. His pelt felt as if it were blazing hot and he simply stood still on the branch. He didn't waver one bit and focused again on Squirrelstar's lecture. His insides, however, felt like they were throbbing with each breath and step he took. I hate this.
"And how do you suggest I channel my emotions? We can't climb trees, we're stuck in a stupid drought!" he growled, feeling one of his paws struggling to hold on to the branch. "I get that you're here for me, as my mentor and leader. I suppose I can be thankful for that."
He was more than thankful, but it didn't show itself through words. Canarypaw was disheartened and refused to look at the shaggy furred she-cat in the eye. His once sharp green gaze was glum and gloomy, avoiding all eye contact with his clanmates. He just wanted to get away as far as possible, but he couldn't do that. Not now, not ever.
"But I don't think you'll understand everything I feel, just like I won't understand everything you feel, Squirrelstar," he mewed adamantly, taking a deep breath. "It's not the same. Death is tragic, but so are accidents. My brother's alive, suffering every moment he's stuck in that den because of one wrong step. He won't ever have a warrior ceremony or a chance to climb a tree ever again. What in StarClan's name makes life better for him? For all of us, to see a clanmate suffer like that?"
Death seemed to be a better option, in the dark spotted tabby's mind. Maybe if Bravepaw wouldn't have to sit and suffer he would be better off, like Squirrelstar's littermates as grim as it was. image source - tumblr | ☾ѕησσzє☽ [ sorry for the really really long post -- if you want a TLDR let me know. ]

Squirrelstar With Canarypaw Stream When he apologized for her littermates, she shook her head. "It's alright, they are resting in Starclan now." She neglected to tell him how she knew, it was personal for her. She listened to his next words carefully, taking in all he was saying and letting it settle on her mind. She didn't exactly know what to say to him. She knew how he felt towards StarClan, it was something she had felt herself as an apprentice and warrior. She didn't know how they worked, who they decided to live or die back then. Her whole life she had been taught they were they in control of their whole lives, the moment they were born their destiny was already decided. Though, now that she was older, she believed it be to wrong.
"Canarypaw, let me tell you a little secret." She mewed, stretching her head up towards him. "Starclan doesn't control everything. I know it's hard to believe after being told it your whole life, but they don't know every little thing that will happen. They are more of a.." She leaned back, sitting on her haunches "they're a guide. They help guide us the right way to fix problems though they can't fix everything." She put her head to side, hoping it helped even in the slightest. As he continued on, she let a small tsk noise out. "I don't think it is up me, but I believe worrying doesn't get much done. I spent half of my life worrying." I still do. "It doesn't do much good though I understand it's an emotion you cannot control."
"As for how to channel your emotions into something positive, that's not simple. But you know, you could train hard, become a great warrior not only for yourself, but for Bravepaw. Push yourself, work twice as hard. When I became an apprentice, I held a lot of anger in me, I was upset that all the cats around me had their siblings around, training beside them. I was mad that I had started later than everyone. Then something switched in me. I began to train twice as hard, become the best I could be. Not only to become a warrior at the same time as everyone else, but to make my siblings proud. Make them proud to call me their sibling." She took a deep breath, that was a lot. She didn't like sharing her emotions, especially to someone as young as Canarypaw but she didn't want to see him trail behind the rest of the apprentices due to something he couldn't stop. It wouldn't be fair to him. His next words were the most wise words she ever heard him speak and she couldn't help but feel a bit of pride, even if they were upsetting.
"You are correct, Canarypaw. I do not fully understand how you feel. I've never suffered through a sibling getting injured. But I can help guide you the best I can. As for Bravepaw, I trust in Echoflower. I won't deny he is most likely suffering right now but he won't always. He will heal and he will find a purpose among us. Not every cat finds their place among the trees. You've met Hobblesway, right? He doesn't climb, he seems content being a nursery helper. Who knows, maybe Bravepaw would like that too." Sand
I hope that makes sense @_@

Darkstride Skyclan and Thunderclan Border w/ Littledove dαιѕy & Stoatheart Sparkly Warblerflame Ivyfalcon ((I hope it's okay that we move this along to the border page since it's been a couple days)) As the patrol made their way close to the Thunderclan border the scent of rabbit became overwhelmingly strong. There was definitely multiple rabbits in the area, and there was no mistaking it. Darkstride had been so focused on the prey scent ahead of him that he didn't realize that he had veered into Littledoves path. The dark tabby had been intentionally walking beside the molly, occasionally brushing pelts in a flirtatious way. But to his own bad luck the tom lost track of his pawsteps as he focused in on a large pile a brush just ahead of them. Stumbling awkwardly he bumped into the pretty warrior, the romantic act completely ruined, Darkstride did his best to quietly recover. "Ah! Oops! ... Sorry", cringing with ears flat Darkstride could not believe he just did that. Moving a solid tail length away from the shecat Darkstride wanted to make sure he didnt make a fool of himself again. What was even more embarrassing was that Stoatheart and Warblerflame were present to witness his clumsiness. "Uhm I'm pretty sure that the rabbit are over there in that brush pile." Speaking up he did his best to hurry up and push past his stupidity and focus on the task at hand. "If we have some one circle around to the other side closest to the border, then they can flush the rabbits out and deeper into Skyclan territory to try and avoid us crossing the border. Then we can make sure to have the rest of us positioned on the other side in hiding so the rabbit run straight into our paws." Looking around he hoping that giving forth a plan of action would help. For a brief moment Darkstride cast his amber eyes upon Littledove shyly. Hopefully he hadn't ruined his chances of wooing the pretty molly.

Stoatheart || SkyClan-ThunderClan Border || With Darkstride ( Falconwing), Littledove ( dαιѕy), and Warblerflame ( Ivyfalcon) "I think that's a good idea," Stoatheart said in agreement. "Plus, herding them deeper into our own territory means that we might be able to come back later and get more, if they aren't scared off entirely, that is. Or if we can find somewhere to stash our first catches when the ground is this hard. Digging a cache would be tricky." His tail whipped excitedly above his back as he spoke, eager to get to hunting.

canarypawaccompanied by Squirrelstar | stream In whatever what Squirrelstar knew her littermates were in StarClan, Canarypaw decided he would assume that all kits went to StarClan. There didn't seem to be any reason why they would end up in the Dark Forest anyways, even if either places were real. To Canarypaw, neither made any sense logically and both were imaginary, hopeless worlds. They existed to give the clans a boost of optimism and that was it.
The dark cream spotted tabby froze as his mentor stretched her head up towards him. He kept himself balanced on the low branch, feeling the sun linger on his pelt through the tree's canopy. He would have lowered his head and gazed at her, but that seemed useless to him. Not to mention he wasn't familiar with the tree he was climbing in and he was unsure of its strength. "If they are really a guide, then what are they trying to guide us to? With Bravepaw?" he inquired, glancing down at the leader. He wanted answers, not speculation. Speculation was a waste of time. Bluntly, he mewed, "I'm not going to spend my time worrying, even if I can control it. It's mousebrained to worry."
Leave it to Canarypaw to be curt with his worry-wart of a mentor. His gaze lifted up from the shaggy furred she-cat as it fell on the branches and foliage above. Maybe he should make his way up and test another branch? It seemed like a fine idea considering that he and Squirrelstar could continue to talk. Though he had said something wise, it didn't really affect him. He knew how he felt about the leader deep down, it just wasn't something he wanted to share. Not now at least.
She did have a point though. Maybe if he would train harder and work to become the best warrior that SkyClan had ever seen, then there would be something worth celebrating. Something worthy, something that would make Bravepaw proud, maybe Burningsight. He doubted his father would care much, if at all, but Bravepaw and Squirrelstar were the first cats to come to mind. He would do it for them and he promised himself that. The rest of his apprenticeship would be for them, to show he was more than gloating and rebellious. Canarypaw was secretly content that Squirrelstar had shared her emotions with him. It felt personal, as if she were confiding in him.
"I can do it. For Bravepaw, and for you, Squirrelstar," he declared before going silent. There was nothing more for him to say on the matter. It required action.
Yet again, it seemed that the tortoiseshell had merit. Maybe having a deep conversation was one of her hidden talents that he had never heard of or experienced. If Hobblesway was able to find a purpose in SkyClan, surely Bravepaw could do the same. Plus, Echoflower had her ways of finding a way to help too. She was a medicine cat after all, she knew enough to do what was necessary to help out her clanmates. The trees might not be Bravepaw's place... but it was possible they were his.
"I hope Echoflower can help him out as much as possible. He didn't deserve it... no one does," he mewed sullenly, referring to Bravepaw and then Hobblesway. "Yeah, I have talked to him a couple of times. If Bravepaw can't climb anymore like some of us, then maybe Hobblesway can help him out... I just want him to be okay." image source - tumblr | ☾ѕησσzє☽

L I T T L E D O V E at SkyClan + ThunderClan border with Darkstride, Warblerflame, + Stoatheart Littledove had a bit of a skip in her step, eagerness surging through each of her small, white paws. The pretty tabby was ready to catch some rabbits and feed her clan! She turned to Darkstride, ready to suggest something when he collided with her, offering the young warrior a mouthful of fur. She stumbled, though didn't completely lose her footing as she coughed loudly, choking on a bit of hair tuft that hit the back of her throat. When she recovered, blue eyes streaming slightly from the impact, she realized Darkstride didn't look at her, just awkwardly shuffled away and muttered out an apology. She'd enjoyed his fur brushing against hers lightly, relishing the company of the tomcat, but as he separated himself from her she couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment hit her chest. She could feel his embarrassment even across the path and she tried to smile lightly at him, though he didn't look in her direction. She coughed slightly and raised her head up, twitching an ear uncomfortably. "It's okay, lets focus on the hunt," she mewed in her soft voice, not wanting to joke and embarrass him further. She figured the pair would talk on the way back, or maybe even back at camp. Paws itching, she peered over at Stoatheart, nodding at his suggestion. "Let's circle around and hit the ThunderClan border, then we can close in on them from behind and catch them by surprise!" Her voice was tinged with excitement and she picked up the pace, disappearing into the undergrowth as she weaved silently toward the border. Upon arrival, she crouched low, peering over at the scent markers. They were fresh, as if a patrol had just been here and were lingering about. She didn't move, not wanting to ruffle any feathers with the ThunderClan cats if they were around. Falconwing Sparkly Ivyfalcon

Warblerflame (SkC)ThunderClan border | Darkstride ( Falconwing), Stoatheart ( Sparkly), Littledove ( dαιѕy) Warblerflame followed the other three cats up next to the border, tail twitching in excitement. “Let’s go get those rabbits!” she whispered as to not scare their prey, but still with enthusiasm. She could tell the whole patrol was excited, after all who wouldn’t be to hunt for their clan? Especially if they were able to bring back a bunch of large rabbits! She could imagine the looks on their clanmates’ faces as they carried their haul back, with her in the lead.
“We’d better make sure we don’t cross the border though, we don’t need to get into a fight with ThunderClan today.” She looked around at the others as she said this, making sure they understood.

Darkstride Skyclan and Thunderclan Border w/ Littledove dαιѕy & Stoatheart Sparkly Warblerflame Ivyfalcon With everyone ready to go Darkstride nodded. Casting a quick soft look to Littledove the tom gave her a sweet smile and then looked to the others. "I will circle around closest to the Thunderclan border and flush out the rabbits, chasing them into Skyclan territory. If you guys position yourselves on the other side one on the left, one on the right, and then one a little further down in the middle. We should be able to scare all the rabbits right into our paws." It should work almost like funneling the rabbits to the middle cat. Hopefully this plan worked to perfection. Taking a couple steps away he looked back. "Let me know you guys are in position with a wave of your tails, that's when I'll start to stir it all up." Nodding the tom the quickly slinked off into the undergrowth with soft pawsteps until he was in position. Popping his head up high the tom waited for the signal for him to start.

Stoatheart || SkyClan-ThunderClan Border || With Darkstride ( Falconwing), Littledove ( dαιѕy), and Warblerflame (@ivyfalcon) "Got it," Stoatheart said in agreement. He bounded off into the undergrowth, looking to see where the other three cats in the patrol were in order to position himself. He raised his nose into the air, sniffing to pick up the scent of the rabbits as an extra aid - and it worked well, too. He trotted through the tall grasses until he was in the centre position, his nose and ears telling him that his prey was right up ahead. Hopefully, this would work out well. He raised his tail just above the top of the grasses and wiggled his tailtip a little, signalling that he was ready.

Squirrelstar With Canarypaw Stream She tried to think of what StarClan was doing in the case of Bravepaw. Would they help put him on the proper path or let him fall away from their eyes and concerns? Surely there was something afoot up there. "I'm not sure. The path is he going down will be hard but perhaps they are guiding him to something better. I know that's hard to believe but maybe he would be happier falling into a different position in the clan. I've never spoken with Bravepaw one on one so I wouldn't have an idea. Would it make you feel better if, when we got back to camp, we stopped and spoke with him? He might be awake." She hoped he was, she didn't want to wait around all day for him to wake up. She had a lot of other pressing matters to attend to, like the patrol in ThunderClan territory. She knew they would come out the other side fine but she didn't trust ThunderClan to not use any dirty tricks. Well...I am too but that's only fair after Stagstar.
His next words made her ears flick, a sense of pride washing over her pelt. He was going to try hard for his brother...and me. She shook her head and purred at him.
"Echoflower will surely heal him up the best she can. I'm sure Hobblesway could teach him a thing or two also. I don't plan on removing his mentor from him either, so if he wants to try out being an apprentice, once he has been cleared from the medicine cat's den, that option is available to him." She paused, jumping onto the tree and climbing above him. She wanted to test the higher ones out herself and he seemed to be safe on the branch he was on now. Once she was settled atop a branch, she pushed down on it. It held to her, swaying only slightly under weight. Perfect. She crouched down, wiggling her hindquarters before jumping to the next branch. This one had more sway to it but it still held strong. "Canarypaw, try to jump to this tree from your branch. Don't worry, you'll be safe." Sand

L I T T L E D O V E at SkyClan + ThunderClan border with Darkstride, Warblerflame, + Stoatheart Littledove listened to the tomcats suggestion carefully, flicking an ear in confirmation. She slunk away on silent paws, holding up the right side of the operation. Excitement tingled through her paws at the thought of a big, juicy rabbit! She hadn't had one in moons, and the clan would actually be well-fed that night if they brought this huge family of hares back! Careful not to stir any leaves or snap a twig, the tabby she-cat crouched low and flicked her tail, signaling to the patrol that she was ready for their pursuit.

sparrowtuftaccompanied by Poppyshine, Shrikethorn, & Peonypaw | ThunderClan borderOnce the borders had been marked and checked thoroughly, Sparrowtuft was thankful that the fox scent was no where near WindClan's border with ThunderClan. For now, they would carry on with their lives as normal. Of course the known presence of a thunderstorm looming on the moor any day now was eminent, but that was more of an afterthought. It was time to head back to camp or make a stop on the moor for good measure.
He padded over to the meeting spot the patrol had arranged. While he waited, the white and brown tabby tom licked one of his paws before drawing it over an ear. "Is everyone done?" he mewed loudly, glancing around for his clanmates. "Do you all want to stop and hunt quickly or would you all rather head back to camp?"
