"Dawn patrol, let's head out."

Boarfang stood at the entrance to the camp. In front of him stood a relatively large patrol. The clan was low on food, with so many new cats having joined lately. Minkwish and Swanripple were also low on herb stocks. The patrol was being sent off to hunt for herbs and prey.

"Keep your eyes out for herbs while you hunt. The medicine cats have asked us to bring back whatever we can find." The marbled bengal called to the group. A few cats nodded.

"I trained as a medicine cat for a while when I was an apprentice, I can help other cats find what we're looking for." Petalbreeze, a calico tom with a short tail, called to the patrol leader.

Boarfang nodded. That was good, any help would be appreciate because StarClan knew he had no idea about herbs at all.

"I'm going to split us up. Too many cats together will scare off any potential prey." The tom looked around as he added up groups of cats in his head. Putting certain cats together was a good strategy, he knew some worked better together than others.

"Maelstromsong and I will head to the beach, to look for any fish." He nodded to the gray molly. Her tail puffed up with excitement. She was a really good shallow-fisher. "Birchstripe and Laurelsong, I know you two work well together as mates, so I'll be sending you off towards Star Point."

He turned to the last two cats. "Petalbreeze and Fignose. You'll be heading towards the Bear Cave. They should be hibernating soon, but keep an eye out. There's lots of herbs up that way as well, which is why I'm sending Petalbreeze up there."

Boarfang turned to face the group. He nodded.

"Let's go, BayClan."

"hey."
a paw gently prodded tigermist's shoulder moments after the soft voice spoke. the dark ginger molly blinked her eyes open, letting out a groggy sigh. her fellow healer sat in front of her, the molly's tail wrapped around her paws. did doeskip really need to wake her up so early? "sorry to wake you," the other she-cat looked somewhat guilty, as if she could tell what tigermist was thinking. "but we're starting to run low on herbs. it's getting colder, we'll need to stock up as much as possible for the winter."

doeskip had a point, it would only get colder from now on. best to start gathering whatever they could while they still can. "mmph!" tigermist reluctantly hoisted herself onto her paws. she knew better than to protest, the pale molly was basically her mentor, after all. though she was old enough to be a full healer alongside doeskip, she hadn't finished her training quite yet. since she had joined valleyclan already equipped with a wide knoweldge of herbs, tigermist only hoped that it would be sooner rather than later.

doeskip flicked her tail, beckoning the red molly to follow. together, the two stepped outside the healer's den. as soon as they had left the warmth of the den, a gust of cold air hit the two she-cats. "cold." tigermist could only just hear the other healer hiss under her breath. mornings had always been chilly for valleyclan cats, and today was no exception. especially in the colder months, it was best to limit the time spent outside. the last thing the clan needed was for one of their healers getting sick. thankfully, tigermist was more protected against the colder weather. with her thick, fluffy pelt and the stubborn bit of chub she carried, it was much easier for the she-cat to stay warm.

sunlight was only just starting to peek through the trees when the two she-cats exited valleyclan's camp. the mollies tread softly on the grass, which was still damp from morning dew. they walked in silence for a while, until tigermist spoke, "it's been quiet in camp lately, hasn't it?" the other healer nodded in agreement, her gaze still focused on the area in front of her. things had been quiet for the cats of valleyclan as of late. as much as tigermist wished her life was more exciting, she was satisfied with how it was for now. since she was still pretty new to her clan, maybe it was for the best afterall.

"I was thinking of going down by the river. it's always a reliable spot for herbs." doeskip's suggestion snapped tigermist back into focus.

"oh, mhm, sure!" she replied with an enthusiastic nod. the river was by far tigermist's favorite spot in their territory. lush with flowers and other plants, it's an overall beautiful place. she had even dipped her paws in the water a few times, though she refused to do more than that. it was so weird how valleyclan cats actually swam in water. she could only imagine that it would take ages for her to dry herself off, especially in this cold weather.

The trees were turning colors, either a bright yellow or dull orange. Some of the leaves were even red as they fell to the forest floor. The action of the leaves had earned the name for the season - leaf-fall. Within a moon or two, all of the leaves would be completely gone from the branches and covering the ground.

Stormswirl halted for a moment, hunger overcoming any other thought. "Do you guys mind if I have some of the prey we caught? I'm getting a little... famished. And I know we've been patrolling for a long time. If you all want to eat something too, I won't say anything," she explained thoroughly. Guilt prickled through her pelt.

Embersnow and Blueberrynose glanced at each other. The two of them seemed to be talking with their expressions, but they eventually shrugged and shook their heads. "We're not hungry yet, but we'll take that offer up later!"

"Same here. I'm not weak enough that hunger is affecting me yet," Tempestslash hissed, a pointed stab at her sister. Stormswirl didn't seem to notice and glanced over the prey they had caught. Still feeling guilty for her hunger, she picked out a small fish and ate it in a few bites.

Once she was satisfied, she stood up straighter and swiped a paw over her muzzle. "Alright, let's keep going."

The unfamiliar scent reached his maw long before he caught sight of the rogue. A bit hypocritical of him considering that he also could be classified as one of the ruthless outsiders due to his lack of companions and lack of hesitation before doing harm unto others. Casting those rather judgemental thoughts aside, the self-dismissed—not self-proclaimed, you see, but the rather the opposite—leader continued on his way.

He kept no destination in mind; for the past few sunrises, he had wandered aimlessly around, hoping to accustom himself to the overly dense vegetation and never-ending noise in the jungle. It is, he thought to himself, a Feral place. And thus, the jungle became known to all the Caladium as “Feral.”

Not unbeknownst to him, his aimless path led him closer to the rogue. The scent strengthened in the air, yet Condorstar worried not. He trusted his skills enough that could hold his own if need be although he would prefer to discuss the issue should he unintentionally offend, rogue or not.

Despite rogues’ uncanny love for death, most would not waste their time fighting off someone who could harm them. The mutual injuries dealt would only hold both parties back, decreasing any chance of survival. Rude as it might seem, Condorstar hoped that the feline he encountered—presuming that they would reveal themselves to him— would fall under that category of “most” and not be an eccentric individual. Mollies were always talking about being unique and special; honestly, Condorstar saw no point. As long as the creature survived, it mattered not their personality be creative or uncommonly stereotypical.

Marblebark watched, full of respect, as the medicine cat Minkwish fixed up Laurelsong's scratched eye with celandine. The last patrol had involved a small accident with a spiky bush. Laurelsong, the poor thing, thought she was losing her sight. Her mate, Birchstripe, was still fretting over her.

The silver tom tip his nose up to the sky. It was awash with all kinds of colours. Small stars were beginning to appear here and there. Dusk. Patrol time.

Cloudpaw was getting close to becoming a warrior. Her training had been going incredibly well. Marblebark was proud of his apprentice. Perhaps tomorrow he could send her out on her final assessment. But for now, she'll be invented on the patrol.

Nosing his way into the apprentice den, he sniffed to see if he could find her in there. The metallic tang of all her trinkets hit his nose, but underneath it was the small apprentice's scent.

"Psst, Cloudpaw." He meowed softly. There was the scent of other apprentices in the den, likely sleeping, and he didn't want to wake them. "Dusk patrol."

"Myehwha'?" The tiny mumble came from the back of the bush den. "Pa'rol?"

"Yes. Get up or I'm cancelling tomorrow's final assesment."

"Wait --" Cloudpaw's fluffy face appeared directly in front of Marblebark's. "My final assessment is tomorrow?! Why didn't you say so!"

"Heh, that got you up. You've been working hard, Cloudpaw. I think it's time." The pride for his apprentice surged within him once again.

"Awh, but that means I won't be in the same den as Reedpaw anymore..." Cloudpaw looked back at the sleeping apprentice. "Can she come? I want to spend some time with her once last time."

"She's not going anywhere, silly. She'll still be able to go on patrols with you, and she'll be around camp!" Marblebark mrr'd in amusement. "But sure, bring her along. I'll go fetch Frogstep. I think Arnicastar will want to come watch you too to see how you're doing, so I'll invite her as well."

Marblebark looked around camp, to see what other cat was available for patrol. A fluffy gray cat was sat at the botton of Highrock, cleaning herself. Maelstromsong! Warmth crept into Marblebark's chest.

He dashed over to her. She looked up from her cleaning, tongue still stuck out. There was happiness shining in her deep blue eyes.

"Hi Marblebark, what can I do for you on this fine evening?" She purred, returning to her cleaning.

Marblebark stood for a moment, watching her. "Care for a quick dusk patrol?"

"If it's with you, of course." She blinked up at him. Something in his chest fluttered.

"Heh, great. We're leaving as soon as I go grab Frogstep and Arnicastar." Something in that sentence caused Maelstromsong to stiffen. Marblebark watched her closely. She shook herself and gave her chest one last lick, before heading to the camp entrance.

After hesitating for a moment to ponder on Maelstromsong's strange reaction, the silver tom turned to find the last two patrol members. Arnicastar was easy. They were standing by the warrior's den, talking to Fignose. Marblebark trotted over. The two were discussing in-depth about whether squirrels or rabbits tasted better.

Marblebark cleared his throat.

They looked up at him.

"Hi."

"Hey Marblebark, what can I do for you?" Arnicastar purred. They flicked Fignose's ear playfully. Fignose rolled onto their back to listen to the conversation between the leader and deputy.

"I'm taking Reedpaw and Cloudpaw out on patrol, and I'm thinking about assessing Cloudpaw tomorrow. Care to come and keep a watchful eye over them?" Marblebark explained.

Arnicastar nodded immediately. "I was thinking about making Cloudpaw a warrior soon too. She's been training long and hard. She deserves it."

"Sweet, I'll be ready to set off after I find Frogstep!"

Arnicastar narrowed their eyes. "Alright. See you at the entrance."

Again, a strange reaction at the mention of Frogstep. She was the newest warrior in the clan, having joined a pawful of sunrises ago. She'd been having a hard time fitting in, and kept ordering other cats around like she had any kind of authority. A lot of cats have ended up avoiding the tortie because of this.

Marblebark finally tracked her down, she was laying in the shadows of a bush near the medicine den. Her eyes were narrowed, and she looked lost in thought.

"Hi Frogstep, Cloudpaw wanted Reedpaw to come on patrol with us. Care to come?" He asked her, pawing at the dirt under him.

"Mrrr. Must I?" Frogstep hardly moved as she answered.

"Well, no, but you should be giving your all to training Reedpaw." Marblebark said, trying not to get annoyed.

"Fine. I'm coming, I'm coming. Don't get your whiskers in a twist." She rolled something that was under her paw into the bush behind her, kicking dirt over it. Marblebark watched in confusion. The tortie's mismatched eyes were locked with his. She walked off as if nothing had happened. What a strange cat.

Alright, that was all the cats. Patrol time, finally.

Marblebark hurried over to the entrance, finding all 5 cats sitting ready and waiting.

"Let's go! Cloudpaw and Reedpaw, don't run off. We're all keeping an eye on you to watch how your training's going."

The two apprentices, bouncing on their feet, nodded enthusiastically.

As Marblebark turned to leave, he caught Arnicastar staring narrowed-eyed at Frogstep out of the corner of his eye. Frogstep was smirking at the leader.

Again, strange cat.

The silver tom set off, paws sinking into the sand as he sniffed around for a scent trail. The two apprentices, having forgot what he had just told them, had already bounded off into the distance.

He shook his head in amusement. Apprentices.

Smokestorm silently padded through the lush forest. He hadn't scented any prey around the camp, so he'd journeyed outward. The ferns tipped toward him as if to say hello to the tom. Suddenly, a musty scent danced to his nose. He dropped into a skillful hunter's crouch. Inhaling deeply, feeling the rush of oxygen rejuvenate his muscles, Smokestorm lifted his grey head to see over the tall grass. The tiny brown mammal scampered among the thin branches of a shrub. He tensed his body, then made the most amateur mistake ever. The small twig snapped, alerting the creature of danger. It raced away, leaving Smokestorm alone in the woods. He shook off the defeat, then patrolled around the territory, scouting for more prey. A multitude of scents flooded his nostrils, but he kept going, knowing the prey was much plumper nearer to the Twoleg dens.

Smokestorm, determined to catch something after his failed attempt continued forward. He wasn't going to give up so easily. As he walked forward, he began smelling the air, trying to pick out the smells of any prey nearby. Suddenly, the earthy warm smell of a shrew caught his attention. He dropped to a crouch, and followed the scent to the base of a tree. There it was. A shrew, chewing on a bug. Like a shadow in the night, Smokestorm slithered his way towards the shrew, and pounced, catching it. What a kill! Much better than last time. +1 Mouse

Luckily for him, there was a cluster of herbs right next to where the shrew was. These could really be useful back at camp! Beter take them home. +4 Herbs

Lightclan
Lightstar padded out of the camp with her deputy and her two clanmates at her side. They'd left Shortspark, an elderly she-cat in their makeshift camp as she'd been feeling a little sick lately. Lightstar was worried for the she-cat who'd only joined her small clan a few sunrises ago. Shortspark had happily adopted a clan name and despite having avoided tying herself to the newly formed Lightclan for moons, had been a resourceful part of her small clan. The white and ginger leader eyes her deputy, Rapidstrike from the corner of her eye and smiled slightly. Rapidstrike had been the first to join her cause and was her most trusted advisor. Silentstalk and Windchaser, mates and former kittypets, decided they both fit better as swiftclaws. They liked to hunt and more often than not, went on hunting patrols by themselves while Lightstar and Rapidstrike patrolled the small expanse of their territory. "I suggest we check the Abandoned Twoleg Nest. There's always mice to catch and Rapidstrike and I can remark the border while we're there." Windchaser, who was always more vocal about her opinions than her mate, nodded in agreement. "That sounds good to me." Rapidstrike grunted his agreement whilst Silentstalk nodded. With a flick of her fluffy tail, Lightstar led the patrol north to the Abandoned Twoleg Nest. all had been quiet lately. Lightstar was trying to build up her forces before even thinking of confronting the treacherous cats lording over the Twoleg Place to the south. Hawthorn hadn't visited Lightstar since she found Windchaser and Silentstalk nearly a half-moon ago. The starlit tom's silence worried her, but Lightstar figured she must be doing something right if he wasn't visiting her dreams to guide her. With a dismissive twitch of her ear, the clan leader tried to pay more attention to her surroundings. Rapidstrike was keeping a careful lookout for danger while both Windchaser and her mate were sniffing the air for any interesting scents. With only four able-bodied cats, Lightclan’s territory only stretched from the training beach along the river’s edge, to the Abandoned Twoleg Den with some buffer on either side of the camp which was snuggled safely between the two landmarks. Hopefully, once more cats were found, Lightclan would grow to be strong enough to defend those treated wrongly in the Twoleg Place. Lightstar wanted to defend those who didn’t have enough power to fight back against tyranny. If every cat stood together, she was sure they could live peacefully. But, for now, she would focus on the small things. Like getting some food for Shortspark and her other three clanmates.
