⌠✯⌡→ Moosestar → 43 mns | ♂ | Apprentice: | Crush: Featherleap | Tags: Flypaw, Tinyfang; Mothtumble

Moosestar met Flypaw's gaze, curiousity causing his head to tilt. Did the apprentice really have that much audacity, to demand his leader allow an eight-moon-old cat to join the battle? Moosestar had to respect the ambition. "No, Flypaw, I'm sorry - you can't go with us." He'd barely finished speaking when Tinyfang came hurrying towards the two.
"I'm sorry, Moosestar," the tuxedo cat mewed to her brother, shooting a sharp glance at Flypaw. "We'll be out of your fur now." As she ushered the apprentice away, Moosestar continued on towards Mothtumble.
"All right, lead the way," the large tom mewed to the medicine cat, following her as she led him to her den. He followed her to the furthest corner of the den, as far from their Clanmates as they can get. "I know you won't like this idea, Mothtumble, but this will prove my leadership, both to the Clan and our enemies." As Mothtumble rushed towards him, pressing their faces together, the gray-and-white tom felt his ears growing hot immediately. He was at a loss of words following her outburst, stunned
by what she'd said. Could Moosestar be mistaken? To him, her words had sounded like that of a lover, rather than his medicine cat. Moosestar's pelt felt hot with embarrassment, unsure what to say. "...it's quite okay, Mothtumble," Moosestar finally assured her, giving his chest fur a few smoothing licks. "It's natural, for a Clanmate to be concerned about their fellow cats." Concern feels like an understatement, he thought to himself, rising to his paws. "In any case, we should get moving, before the weather worsens. Oh, and Mothtumble - WildClan won't have a medicine cat with them. I want our warriors to remember they don't have to kill to win this battle...but accidents happen. If a WildClan cat seems to be on the verge of losing their life, please don't neglect them and let them die. Now, come on - they're waiting for us."

⌠❣⌡→ Tinyfang → 34 mns | ♀ | Apprentice: Flypaw | Crush: | Tags: Flypaw, Moosestar

A frustrated sigh escaped the warrior as she watched Flypaw intercept her brother. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but Moosestar looked taken aback by his request. Why does he have to act like this? Tinyfang huffed to herself, leaping to her paws and bounding towards the pair. "I'm sorry, Moosestar," she mewed apologetically to her brother. "We'll be out of yourfur now." She shot a sharp glance at her apprentice, but Tinyfang felt hopeless - she couldn't gauruntee Flypaw would listen to her, much less behave. Just please, please don't make me look like a weak mentor right now, Flypaw! she silently pleaded.

⌠∞⌡→ Oakpaw → 10 mns | ♂ | Mentor: Timberfoot | Crush: | Tags: Plumpaw, ValleyClan

As the meeting ended, Oakpaw turned back towards Plumpaw with a dramatic sigh. "Aw, man...I can't believe I don't get to go! I'm almost as old as Rabbitpaw is!" The tabby shook his head, before standing to his paws. "Oh, well...I guess we can at least go to the den and dry our pelts. I'm going to be so bored until they get back." Oakpaw couldn't believe that Moosestar wouldn't even let the Clan out of camp while he was away - he felt like he was a kit again, waiting for his parents to return from a walk and watch him play in camp.

⌠❆⌡→ Icestep → 81 mns | ♀ | Apprentice: | Mate: Graywind, Owlfoot | Tags: Softheart, Frostegret

"I'll be along behind you," Icestep mewed to Softheard as the she-cat headed back to the elders' den. For a moment, Icestep just sat and watched Moosestar make his way across the clearing, briefly stopped by Tinyfang and her apprentice. If anything, Icestep was just grateful that Oakpaw and Tinyfang wouldn't be part of the patrol. She watched her son trot off until his normally bushy tail, slicked down by rain, disappeared into Mothtumble's den. StarClan, keep him safe, she thought to herelf with a deep sigh. Finally the elder rose to her paws. "Come on, Frostegret," she called to the other elder. "Let's go dry off." Icetep padded towards the elders' den.

⌠❤⌡→ Milkheart → 17 mns | ♀ | Apprentice: | Crush: Spicewish | Tags: Spicewish

Milkheart's tail lashed back and forth in annoyance. She had listened eagerly to Moosestar's announcement, hopeful she would be called upon to face WildClan in battle - only to be disappointed as the list didn't include her. The calico's claws sunk into the earth, kneading the ground below her as her gaze followed the chosen warriors as they assembled near the entrance to camp. Give them a few good scratches for us cats here at camp! She thought.
Then, Milkheart's eyes fell on Spicewish. He had hurried to Sorrelpaw, and it warmed her heart - he seemed to be a good uncle. When Sorrelpaw went bounding towards the apprentices' den, and Spicewish was left crestfallen. At once, Milkheart stood to her paws and padded over to the tom. "You did your best," she assured him, trotting up by his side. "She's lucky to have you in her life, you know."

> He flicked his ears as he looked at all those worried cats, the weather made things worst to the situation. He himself didn't have any mind about those sunning rocks does the clan has them or not? He only heard that that place was a very good place to get lots of different prey. He felt a little heartless about this situation as he didn't really have blood family in here, but he did like most of his clanmates here so their dead could of course sad him. He looked over to Softheart and Icestep when the two got back into the elder's den, he silently followed them. Shaking his fur a little bit before lying down on his still-warm nest.

Goldmask - 30m - warrior - male - love interest: Vervainclaw - apprentice: Oilpaw - tags: Oilpaw
> He watched the situation and the cat's reactions to the Moosestat's battle plans, seeing how important those rocks were for them, he saw how the weather worried many of them. He wondered if the Moosestar was planning to use their resistance of water now against the other clan, but even for them, those rocks were slippery, even their claws could maybe save them if they slip there. He listened to his apprentice before looked him "Well fighting in this weather is risky, but it may work as our victory too, as this weather may make the other clan who is not so used to water to be uncomfortable and maybe back away" he meowed to him, thinking the first question the apprentice made to him "I will be fine, don't worry, just stay there and keep your eyes on Flypaw so he doesn't get into a fight with someone..." he said teasingly as he patted the tom ear gentle.

>He was inside the warrior's den, thinking to get a little nap as he didn't have anything to do now anyway, but after hearing the Moosestar's call he stood up immediately and got back to the rain. He wondered what was so important for the leader to call the meeting in this weather, and he didn't repost anything too bad about the patrol either. He sat not so far from the warrior's den and listened to the meeting starting about Oldpaw's new mentor. He totally forgot that the oldest apprentice didn't have a mentor any longer after what happened to him a few moons ago. He chanted his name before getting silent to wait what is the bad news his leader needed to inform them.

Lotusflower - 14m - warrior - female - love interest: open - apprentice: n/a - tags: open
> She decided to leave her dry spot which was not that dry any more thanks to Flypaw. She was on her way to check the fresh-kill pile, giving a quick greeting to Emberheart and Sorrelpaw on her way there, but her plans were soon ruined as the leader called for a meeting. She felt like eating at a meeting was disrespectful, so she decided to eat after the meeting and found a place to sit down to listen. She shook her fur a little bit before chanting the Oldpaw's name after the older apprentice got his new mentor, which she kind of found hilarious as he was older than her.

Seapaw - 7m - apprentice - female - love interest: Flypaw & Oilpaw - mentor: Mudface - tags: Mudface, Sorrelpaw
> She listened to her mentor, but somehow she little bit questioned her response that the battles like this are nothing too big, with small injuries, but this weather way brings the bad side out of this not-so-big battle. She didn't really say anything when her mentor gave her a lick and left to talk wot the other cats going to the battle patrol. She heard Flypaw questioning the leader about why was not he chosen for the battle and gave a silent growl of annoyance. Her eyes looked at Emberhear there for a moment, before turning back to the apprentice's den, shaking her pelt as she walked over to Sorrelpaw "Hey Sorrelpaw, you okay?" she meowed to her, wondering that she was likely worried and scared for her father going to the patrol.

🐯Tigerlily - Deputy - Female - 40 moons - Crush: Moosestar - Tags: Battle patrol

Tigerlily kneaded the ground impatiently as she waited by the camp entrance for the rest of the patrol to gather. When she saw Mothtumble lead Moosestar into her den, she couldn't help but feel a knot in her stomach, though she wasn't sure why. She supposed Mothtumble would be coming with them and was fetching any herbs she might need, but what was Moosestar doing? Discussing the battle with her, of course, she told herself. Obviously. She's the medicine cat, it only makes sense that Moosestar would talk to her about it. Still, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was...off.

🪵Timberfoot - Warrior - Male - 40 moons - Tags: Bluewhisker, Rabbitpaw

Timberfoot frowned. Bluewhisker was understandably upset at being kept at camp while his apprentice went off to battle, while Rabbitpaw seemed to take offense that any cat would question whether or not she was ready for a real fight. "No one is underestimating you, or Bluewhisker," he told the apprentice. "He's a great mentor. But he would probably feel better actually being there with you, instead of just 'in spirit.' It's...unusual to send apprentices on planned battle patrols to begin with, even more so without their mentors." He felt bad for Bluewhisker; he could see how upset the tom was, but he decided not to say anything else as the mentor and apprentice exchanged their last words before the patrol left.

🌊Riverripple - Warrior - Male - 26 moons - Crush: Creamflower - Tags: Gorsewhisper, Creamflower

Riverripple wasn't entirely satisfied with this answer, but he knew there was nothing he could do to change Gorsewhisper's mind. "Alright..." At that moment, Creekshine approached as well, and Riverripple silently stepped away. His daughter most likely wanted space to speak to her mother alone; he would respect that. "Good luck out there," he called to Gorsewhisper, giving her a small nudge and one last, long look before padding back to Creamflower. "I swear, sometimes I think Moosestar has lost his mind," he sighed to the queen. "He makes some...questionable decisions." He knew it wasn't good to badmouth his leader, but by StarClan, any cat could see that today was a bad day for a battle, and Gorsewhisper was a bad cat to bring to that battle.

💦Creekshine - Warrior - Female - 13 moons - Tags: Gorsewhisper

Creekshine couldn't help but overhear her mother's words to her father just as she approached. Keep Creekshine safe for me. She inwardly rolled her eyes. Like Riverripple gives a rat's tail what happens to me. But she quickly pushed the tom out of her mind, glad when he walked away, and closed her eyes as Gorsewhisper touched noses with her. "Okay," she mumbled, forcing a half-smile. She was still worried, but she knew that Gorsewhisper was a strong she-cat, even if she didn't always look it. She can handle herself...right? "Have fun kicking some WildClan tail," she gave a small laugh.

🪰Flypaw - Apprentice - Male - 8 moons - Mentor: Tinyfang - Tags: Moosestar, Tinyfang

"But--" Flypaw was barely able to get the word out before Tinyfang rushed over, escorting him away from their leader. He hissed at her, but didn't go after Moosestar as he walked away. "How did such a mouse-brain ever become leader?" he snarled at his mentor, knowing full well she wouldn't take kindly to her brother being insulted. "He's bringing all the worst fighters! If I came along, those WildClan mange-pelts wouldn't dare set paw on our rocks ever again! I'd claw out their eyes if they even tried." He flexed his claws, leaving long claw-marks in the mud.

[Animals65]

Creamflower watches Riverripple pad back towards her and listens to what he has to say. "I don't know about that." she said honestly. "Maybe Moosestar has a reason for bringing Gorsewhisper into battle. Maybe StarClan has a reason for her to be fighting WildClan."

[Takk]

☪Bluewhisker ♂||Warrior||47 moons||→Timberfoot, Rabbitpaw

He offers a faint smile, nodding to Timberfoot. "It's quite alright, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who's worried about the situation. I cannot support Oldpaw going given his recent recovery, which makes you, Rabbitpaw-" Shifting his gaze to the younger cat. "The eldest and most able apprentice. I cannot agree with this choice, but you were the only apprentice he could've chosen. Be careful and choose your next steps wisely. I'll be waiting here for your return." Why did an apprentice have to go to this fight at all? The rain would slow the patrol down, weaken the spirit of every cat and likely make them take the long way around since the river would be flooding. It was a long treck to the twoleg bridge and back down along the river, especially if a patrol caught them out in the open. To say the patrol was in for a long day was grossly underestimating the situation. It'd be an act of Starclan if they were able to walk all the way after a battle like this.
"I just hope Moosestar knows what he's doing. Wildclan has some rather large and unkind cats, lets hope they aren't on the patrol that finds you." Someone weak for Rabbitpaw to fight, he could clearly see and name a handful of cats in Wildclan that aren't built for fighting like he was. Maybe she would remain safe...

✨Vervainclaw ♀||Warrior||26 moons||→Thistleflight, Littlepaw

She felt her ears growing hot at his affection, and odd mix of rather intense feelings between her current disappointment and his sudden closeness. Her yellow eyes were wide for a moment, her jaw fluttering a little, but she lacked the words. Straightening herself and giving her wet shoulder a few quick licks to break the clouds in her brain. "Y-yeah, a little recognition once in a while would be nice though. It's not like we run around picking fights every chance we get." Her ears flick attentively to her apprentice, Littlepaw, as she speaks. Fighting in this rain wasn't the best idea, but if someone fell in the river, it was much more likely a Tranquilclan cat would survive while an enemy was washed away. There was a clear advantage for their clan, but she still had concerns about the chosen cats. She couldn't remember the last time warriors trained to fight together, it was bound to be mess with lack of communication.
"The rain is going to prove difficult, but Wildclan will much less prepared to defend sunningrocks than we are." Her tail gestures to the upturned grass of well walked paths through camp, now thickened with mud. "It would be wise to get some training in if we can't leave camp. We've done a bit of training on rough terrain, but learning how to catch your balance in mud is pretty important." Trying to get her mind into mentor mode would be a good distraction. Especially if they were stuck here, doomed to be bored, maybe someone would notice it was a big mistake not taking her along.

☂Blacksky ♂||Warrior||24 moons||→Lotusflower

As he separates from the other cats, his ears flick towards Lotusflower who seemed to be mostly by herself. It was a little odd considering how likable most cats found her, but perhaps camp was just too busy with their goodbyes and outrage. He could relate, but there was no point in changing Moosestar's mind now after he'd already made the call. He guessed Tigerlily had been completely on his side about it, so there wasn't anyone to stand in his way. "Crazy how one meeting and sour a whole day. I'm not looking forward to having to hear every detail about this fight for the next three sunrises." He meows, keeping a respectable tail length from the she-cat. He wasn't exactly good at starting conversation, it didn't help he couldn't think of anything else to talk about.

His gaze followed Sorrelpaw, concerned shadowing his face. His ears perked as he heard a voice, turning to see a multi-colored molly beside him. He gave a small smile, a brow raised. "I am worried about her is all, I know this is... hard, after Creampetal..." He turned to make sure Sorrelpaw was out of earshot. "You know, what happened to her mother and siblings..."

38 moons ➥ he/him ➥ widow ➥ @ Battle Party, Open

The ginger and white tom puffed up, hearing his name among those to go. He felt ready, there was a thrill in combat that could not be matched. He felt his mind become flooded with memories, of prior battles, of his training, of Creampetal. He smiled as he thought of his former mate, her golden eyes burned into his mind. All of our training, our rivalry, will have been worth it once more. Emberheart flexed his claws, before walking towards the camp entrance to wait. The rain was soaking his pelt through, but honestly? He felt alive.

36 moons ➥ she/her ➥ single ➥ @ Open

Shrimpcloud purred as she looked at her small kittens, resting in their nest. She had listened to the meeting, though she dared not stir from her nest. She only caught traces... A battle patrol? She shook her head, a little frown on her face. The weather wasn't quite right for this, and things could only go sour, no matter the victor. She sighed, before resting her head on her paws, watching the entrance of the nursery. She watched the rest of the clan move about, the rain pouring down upon them. Hopefully the rain wasn't a bad omen, at least for them.

6 moons ➥ she/her ➥ single ➥ @ Seapaw

The little apprentice seemed shaken up, but upon hearing Seapaw's voice, she stiffened. Would being honest about her feelings be the route here?
"I-I guess I am..." She murmured, her curled folded back, unable to meet the other apprentice's gaze. "I think it's just... the fact I don't know any of my other family..."

Mothtumble stayed quiet as he spoke, letting her own embarrassment cool down. She nodded when he told her to make sure to treat every cat - not just Tranquilclan, however it made her feel uneasy that Moosestar was going in to this knowing Wildclan would be at a disadvantage and without a medicine cat. Wounds could get out of control during a battle like this, especially because some cats seemed to be more battle hungry than others. The molly flicked her tail, turning her back to the leader and digging around in the medicine stores, pulling out what she'd need to take with her."Please allow me to take Beetlepaw as well, if I'm going to be tending to both clans I'm going to need the extra paws, and he's more than ready. And if Wildclan has any heart, they'll know not to attack either of us." She mewed, though her voice showed that her request to bring her apprentices was less of a request and more like she was telling Moosestar she was bringing him along. Mothtumble had a bundle of large beech leaves in her mouth when she turned around, gently setting them in the floor of her den. "I'll ask Starclan to bless this battle. . . I think you should do the same, Moosestar." She mewed, her voice falling back in to a gentle, loving tone that was laced with concern.

Rabbitpaw fidgeted her paws and Timber foot and her mentor began to speak to one another, her ears pinning to the back of her skull when Bluewhisker said be couldn't support her going on the battle patrol. Did he really doubt her abilities that much? Sure Wildclan has a bunch of tough looking cats in their clan, but Rabbitpaw knew she could take down whoever came her way, despite their size and how sharp their claws are. She didn't say anything for a moment, but eventually she stood up and nuzzled Bluewhisker's cheek with a purr. "You know I'll come back, I can't let you down. I have to prove to you I'm ready to become the best warrior I can be!" She mewed, before pulling back and turning towards the entrance to camp. "I'll see you guys when we get back!"

After chanting Oldpaw's name, Thistleflight blinked, his fur bristling as their leader finished speaking. He wasn't on the patrol, and it upset him. He glanced over at Vervainclaw, frowning when he realized she seemed to be even more upset than he was. "Everything will be ok, trust me. As much as I don't like Mistlespots, she can hold her own, and so can Goldmask. Everyone will come back safely." He mewed, curling his tail around her and giving her a soft lick on the cheek. "Moosestar probably thinks it's going to be an easy battle, which is why he didn't bring us with him. We're win too easily if you and I were on the patrol." He said, giving her a reassuring smile and another lick on the cheek. Vervainclaw had always been special to him, someone he was drawn too and wanted to be friends with, but at this moment, he felt something weird in his belly, something akin to butterflies in his belly, and he had the urge to make her feel better about the situation. Seeing her upset made him upset, and wanted to fix it.

Mistlespots sighed as she heard Moosestar call her name. This was the last thing she wanted to be doing, but she couldn't argue with him. She blinked gratefully at Timberfoot, seeing he had sympathy for her. "Pray to Starclan that this all turns out ok." She murmured, standing up and heading towards the entrance of camp. She was concerned that Rabbitpaw was going without Bluewhisker, and that she was the only apprentice on the patrol as well. She sat down at the entrance to camp, waiting for the rest of the called cats to gather so they could all get going, and get this whole thing over with before anything bad happened.

Strikinggaze nodded to Beetlepaw, settling himself in the clearing to listen to Moosestar speak. When Oldpaw got a new mentor, he cheered along with the rest of his clan, quieting down as Moosestar spoke again and announced the taking back of Sunning Rocks. He perked his ears, nodding his head as he was called to join the patrol. It was finally time to take back what rightfully belonged to Tranquilclan, and he was ready for it if a fight happened to break out.

Ashclaw sat under the protection of the lip of the roof of Dolly's two-leg home, sitting on their front steps, waiting for the rain to stop. He had been wandering the two-leg place when it started, and he immediately took shelter under the roof. It made him feel safe to be where Dolly used to live, knowing she was watching over him with their two kittens by her side. He looked up at the sky, watching as the rain poured down in sheets. For some reason, this storm didn't unnerve him, it calmed him down. . except when he thought about his sister, Cherrycloud, and his son who were in Tranquilclan, having to deal with the weather. He frowned, his paws itching to run to them, to protect them from the storm, but he knew that wasn't possible. He had chosen to leave the clan, and that is where he must stay. He sighed, hoping his sister and his son were alright. The short furred tom turned away from looking into the forest, hopping off of the front steps of the two-leg nest and walking into the open street. The roads were quiet, and he took the chance to cross, heading towards the forest.

⌠✯⌡→ Moosestar → 43 mns | ♂ | Apprentice: | Crush: Featherleap | Tags: Mothtumble, Mistlespots, Rabbitpaw, Emberheart, Gorsewhisper, Mudface, Strikinggaze,
Goldmask, Tigerlily

Moosestar mulled it over for a moment, then gave Mothtumble a slow nod. "If you thinnk he's ready - then he will come. We should be off at once." Moosestar turned and padded back to the clearing, stalking towards the band of warriors - and Rabbitpaw - that would be accompanying him on the journey. Almost immediately he missed the dry warmth of Mothtumble's den, and a part of him wished he could turn tail and scurry back to his nest. This battle was important, though - Moosestar was determined to prove himself as a formidable leader, one that WildClan would fear.
He came to a halt beside the Clanmates that had been chosen to join him. He lifted his voice to be heard over the downpour, "This will be an easy battle. TranquilClan will triumph, and our warriors will be dry in their nests by sunset, relishing in their victory." He paused for a moment, and there was hesitation in his voice as he spoke once more, "Remember, my warriors - we do not need to kill to win our battles. Mothtumble and Beetlepaw will be with us, prepare yourself to protect them, should a WildClan cat decide to cowardly attack a medicine cat."
For a moment, Moosestar was silent, allowing his Clanmates to process what he'd said. Then, the large tom was flicking his rain-sodden tail towards the entrance of camp, scattering droplets into the air as he did so. "TranquilClan - let's move out!"
Moosestar wasted no time in leaping onto the crossing stones, heading towards the forest. He led his Clanmates along the length of the river. As the murky water churned, washing in and out from the shore, dread formed in his belly like a stone. The river was considerably higher than usual, and seemed only to be growing. Debris held water back, further upstream, past the camp; it could pose a serious problem, should it be knocked lose. It would send a wave crashing through the river, and would wash right through
the camp - Moosestar shook his large head, trying not to think about it. Throwing his head over his shoulder, he jerked his muzzle at Tigerlily, urging her to lead the patrol at his side. "The crossing stones are under water, like you predicted," he murmured to his deputy. "But Fourtrees is so far from where we need to be..." Suddenly, Moosestar's tail rose. "The Twoleg bridge! We can use it to cross. If we stick to the river's shore, I don't think we'd run into a patrol."


⌠❣⌡→ Tinyfang → 34 mns | ♀ | Apprentice: Flypaw | Crush: | Tags: Flypaw

Red flashed across Tinyfang's eyes, and she urged herself to remain calm. All she wanted was to drag her claws across the apprentice's muzzle. "If you were there, you'd only slow them down," Tinyfang hissed. "You've barely become an apprentice - arrogance could be any cat's downfall." Her tone evened out towards the end, as she tried to coax the anger out of it. "You'll have your day, Flypaw. You don't want to end up in a battle you're ill-prepared for." Her tail lashed behind her, betraying her true emotion. "Just - go dry off. The rain is picking up." The small warrior was beginning to shiver, her thin frame even tinier than usual.

⌠∞⌡→ Oakpaw → 10 mns | ♂ | Mentor: Timberfoot | Crush: | Tags: Plumpaw, ValleyClan

As the meeting ended, Oakpaw turned back towards Plumpaw with a dramatic sigh. "Aw, man...I can't believe I don't get to go! I'm almost as old as Rabbitpaw is!" The tabby shook his head, before standing to his paws. "Oh, well...I guess we can at least go to the den and dry our pelts. I'm going to be so bored until they get back." Oakpaw couldn't believe that Moosestar wouldn't even let the Clan out of camp while he was away - he felt like he was a kit again, waiting for his parents to return from a walk and watch him play in camp.

⌠❆⌡→ Icestep → 81 mns | ♀ | Apprentice: | Mate: Graywind, Owlfoot | Tags: Softheart, Frostegret

Back in the elders' den, Icestep tucked her paws beneath her, settling into her nest. She began to groom her wet fur, her gaze ocassionally flickering toward the entrance of the den. "It's only picking up out there," she murmured to her companions. "How will they even cross the river? The water is far too high." She let her head rest on her paws, staring out into the rain, her grooming forgotten.

Sorrelpaw will find her way, just you wait and see." She lifted her tail, and motioned towards the warriors' den. "Would you like to dry off? It isn't as if we can do anything anyway,
at least until Moosestar returns..."

> He watched the situation and the cat's reactions to the Moosestat's battle plans, seeing how important those rocks were for them, he saw how the weather worried many of them. He wondered if the Moosestar was planning to use their resistance of water now against the other clan, but even for them, those rocks were slippery, even their claws could maybe save them if they slip there. He listened to his apprentice before looked him "Well fighting in this weather is risky, but it may work as our victory too, as this weather may make the other clan who is not so used to water to be uncomfortable and maybe back away" he meowed to him, thinking the first question the apprentice made to him "I will be fine, don't worry, just stay there and keep your eyes on Flypaw so he doesn't get into a fight with someone..." he said teasingly as he patted the tom ear gentle.

He looked at Moosestar there, then at those who were going out for the patrol then at his apprentice "I need to go now...don't worry I will be back soon as this mission is over" he meowed to him. Flicking his tail as goodbyes to the young tom he walked to the group there gathered and was ready to leave.

>He watched the cats gathering around the Moosestar, he was not really sure what to think about this battle think. He knew that it was only a matter of time, but this weather was a very big risk to start a fight, but then another hand could Wildclan dare to risk themselves in this rain, could they just give up...he shook his head at the thought 'no they would, they will fight if they had too...this is going to be one big mess...' he kept thinking as he watched the cleaning.

> She flicked her tail as she blinked her eyes 'Those rocks again huh...of well...I guess this day was coming' she thought to herself. She perked her ears before turning to face the dark smoke and white warrior, which little surprised her as he was not the most talkative cat there "I don't mind about the details, as long they come back one piece or at least alive...that place is already a pretty dangerous place to fight and now there is this rain too...I feel like we will see last time one or two of the cats who are leaving now" she meowed to him with a sigh.

> She sat down near the other apprentice "Oh yes, I guess you're worried as your father is going to that patrol..." she meowed to her as she flicked her tail "Don't worry you're not the only one here who doesn't really have much family ...left...but I think I understand you...it's your father who is going, I could maybe feel the same if Pumacloud was going..." she meowed to her with a sigh.

> She was awakened actually she wanted to sleep, but the rain didn't let her fall asleep at all. She rolled to her belly and looked up at her mother "When this noise stops? It's hurting my ears?" she meowed to her annoyed. She flicked her ears almost like she was hearing some meowing coming out of the rain "Was there a meeting? Who was speaking so loud there? I didn't hear a thing? What did they say? Mom?" she kept asking.

He didn't want to admit he'd been listening in to his mentor's conversation, but he'd heard that he would be joining the patrol. He steeled himself: Starclan, he hoped no one from Wildclan would think to attack either of them. He'd die for his clan, his leader, and his mentor need be, but he wasn't ready to quite yet. He joined the ranks of those going, waiting patiently for their leader to join them. His words provided little solace: this may be more difficult of a battle than he was predicting. Remember, we do not have to kill. He let those words settle between his ears. Hopefully there'd be no death at all and it was just a reminder.

He followed Moosestar's lead, lost in his own thoughts as he followed. As they reached the flooded stones, he couldn't help but feel it was a sign from Starclan. He swore he saw blood wash over the rocks, and felt his stomach churn. He opened his mouth to protest, to tell of the sign he'd received; but closed it and continued on. Who was to say it was actually a sign sent by Starclan and not his eyes just playing tricks on him?


🪔Oilpaw🪔

The idea of Wildclan just backing down and turning tail was a little bit of comfort to the apprentice. "Aw man, you had to put me on Flypaw duty, huh?" he joked, smiling. Things would be okay, Goldmask and the others would return with a few scratches and that'd be the end of it. "Stay safe in the rain!" he called as Goldmask walked off to join the band of warriors. Now to seek out Flypaw...

He wandered over to Tinyfang and her apprentice, unsure what to say exactly but knowing he had to say something. "She's right, you'll have your day to prove yourself, Flypaw. Then we'll all see just how fierce you are and what a good fighter you are," he nodded. "Are you hungry? We can't leave and hunt but there's still something in the fresh-kill pile. You could show me some of your fighting moves over a meal?" Oilpaw was doing his best to be kind to the curmudgeon of a cat.

👹Mudface👹

Mudface followed Moosestar's lead, settling near the back of the group. She took his words to heart: there was no need to kill anyone today. That was good advice, affirmed that Moosestar's head was on firmly. "The bridge will be our best bet," she called, nodding in agreement. She felt her heart start to beat a little faster as they made their way to Sunningrocks. How would this all turn out, she wondered? Hopefully Wildclan would keep their paws off the medicine cats, but she wouldn't put it past them to do the cowardly thing and attack them.

With her estranged family's blessing and good tidings, Gorsewhisper set off. She kept Creekshine's smile in her heart, it would guide her through this battle. Even Riverripple had shown some concern, which she'd never expected. She was a strong cat, though, and could handle herself. She'd prove it to them undoubtedly. She noticed Beetlepaw stop and look concerningly at the water. Did he see something she didn't? She went to ask, but then Moosestar pointed out the bridge would be their path. Beetlepaw seemed to move on, so she did too.

"They'll swim if they have to," Softheart responded. "The water may be high, but we're very strong swimmers. Don't underestimate them in your worry. I'm sure they'll find a way around, though. They don't want to risk an apprentice like Rabbitpaw in the water," she shrugged softly. "Moosestar's a good leader. He won't take any risk without weighing it," Softheart finished, leaning in to nuzzle Icestep. "They'll be okay," she murmured.
