A while later, Maplestar left his den with Frostwhisper beside him. The white she-cat padded over towards Rosepath's den and poked her head in. "Maplestar said you were going to the MoonStele, I'd like to escort you there." she explained.
Outside, Maplestar turned and climbed up the rock above his den. He glanced over his camp from there, then called "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting." He forced himself to keep grief out of his tone and expression.
Ivypaw and Lichenpaw poked their heads out of the apprentices den, then Lichenpaw led Ivypaw to a place where they could sit for the meeting.
Hollow Moon woke the next morning not feeling any less grouchy than she did the day before. She spoke with a few of the runners about the valley territory around them then she looked around for Sky Wise and Swiftkill, wondering where they had gone off to the night before.

"Yesterday, Sunstone and Ivypaw scented loners on our territory. I went out and found one loner, who I chased off. Based on the scents there may have been as many as four loners or rogues on our territory at once, some of them came and left together, and purposefully disguised their scents." Maplstar explained. "I want to increase border patrols and I want everyone to be cautious outside of camp from now on. I have been thinking of sending a patrol to follow the scents of the rogues beyond the border. The patrols will also be in search for Swiftkill, who has not returned to camp since yesterday morning." he finished, waiting for comment from his guides and warriors.

Hollow Moon's expression softened a bit, feeling more pleased. "Yes I think something has. I'll wait a few sunrises before trying to pry too much from her again. I wonder when our next expedition to SteppeClan will be." she watched Sky Wise as if she was impatient to ask him.

"I'm simply asking if it's a good idea to venture beyond our territory to dangerous land." Maplestar said. "And who would be willing to go. We don't know if Swiftkill is with these loners or has gone somewhere else. I will lead the patrol, and Rosepath and Eveningeclipse will be in charge of camp while we are gone." He didn't have to try to hide his anger, he was too busy hiding his sorrow to care for Sunstone's words now.

Lichenpaw crouched down under his mentor's gaze. He really didn't want to go on a patrol with Sunstone and two other cats Sunstone hated. This patrol will be a disaster, the young tom thought. One more moon maybe and I won't have to be his apprentice anymore though. Lichenpaw walked over to Sunstone and Eaglestrike nervously.
"Then it's settled. Eaglestrike, Sunstone, Lichenpaw, and I will leave as soon as Rosepath returns from the MoonStele." Maplestar said with a nod, jumping down from the Highrock to show the meeting was over. He padded up to Eaglestrike. "Are you sure you'll be alright to travel? We may be gone until sundown." Maplestar asked the older tom.

(Phantompaw is already Swiftkill's apprentice. I won't remove Zz's characters unless she tells me she wants to quit, I've been pming her, but it's been almost 2 weeks)
Maplestar looked away. He wasn't interested in talking about his sorrow and he wished everyone would just ignore it until it eased away. But he started to doubt it would ever ease away. My kits... he thought, and it took everything in him to not start sobbing again. He straightened up in determination. "Give him a refresher afterwards. Make sure you get something to eat first." Maplestar said to Sunstone, then headed for the fresh-kill pile. "Rosepath may give us travelling herbs when she returns, but we should make sure we've had enough to eat before going on what may be a long journey."
Frostwhisper nodded and followed the medicine cat out of camp. "Why are you going to the MoonStele, if you don't mind my asking?" she pondered.

I'll fill you in on the plot: a bunch of loners were scented on SteppeClan territory, most of them were the Wanderers, Sky Wise, Hollow Moon, and Brokenmist who kidnapped Swiftkill because Sky Wise and Swiftkill were once mates. Now Maplestar wants to lead a patrol to follow the scents out of SteppeClan territory and find the loners, maybe hoping to find Swiftkill too. The Wanderers are planning to invade SteppeClan and didn't want Swiftkill giving them away that's another reason why they took her Swiftkill is also Phantompaw's mentor so Phantompaw may be worried that her mentor is missing)

You don't need to fill me in cause I'm not staying. The only reason I joined is because fallenleaves asked me to and I was happy to take on deputy. I loved the character I made for it and knew they had a lot of potential but I can't do that now so there's really no reason for me to be here.))

Maplestar beckoned Lichenpaw over to the fresh-kill with his tail, then the leader picked out a sparrow and sat down. He knew the apprentice wanted to avoid the company of his mentor as much as possible so he invited the apprentice to sit with him instead. Little Hare left the cave, running down the slope into the open valley and stretching her legs. She ran in an arc, coming back around to check that Sweet Water was following her. "I hear Moon-Hunter and the others went to a hot spring yesterday, I want to see where it is!" she called to the hunter. Icyturtles
