The conversation between the two seemed to come to an end, the cats now only walking together in silence. Even Tenebris didn't seem to speak in his own way, no cowls and screeches coming from him. It had its own charm, to just enjoy the presence of each other without words that didn't bring anything meaningful to the matter. The simple sharing of steps, breaths and glances, maybe some shy smiles too, was even more bonding to them than an awkward conversation at times, it was supposed to be that way, wasn't it? Fallen loved nothing more than to feel understood, all the social expectations and mixed messages aside. And Cliff purred quietly under his nose, in a chant-like way, not meaning anything behind it, than just to express he has loosened the tense of his daily chores and the stress of bearing the important role of a witch doctor, always having to be ready to heal, save the lives, bring up important rituals... Yes, it felt good to be important, to be appreciated, but it also was just tiring at times.

"I think there's something..." - the silence was breaked when The Cliff of Eternity smelled the presence of a young raven. He couldn't see it but he was certain that the prey is near, and Fallen would probably eagerly come and help him catch it. Tenebris probably noticed what this situation is going to end like, thus it turned its eyes away from the scene of soon to be bloody scene. The raven could perhaps be its herdmate in the past and it felt weird to look at how it's going to end as a prey. But Tenebris understood nature is brutal and thus didn't question its bond with The Cliff, him never testing its trust and boundaries. They could trust themselves no matter what, and they would never hurt each other. Interspecies friendships with cats could be true, of course, but it required a lot from both of the sides to control their instincts and develop their own language to communicate with. And it was sure that "its" cat isn't treating it worse and lesser than anyone else if his own kind, which it also was a key future when they both started developing the trust.

Fallen listened, without saying a word not to scare the raven off. Instead, she crouched, getting closer to the forest's ground cover, focusing her eyes solely on the little, jet black bird cleaning its feathers carelessly. Xe slowly extended her paws, step by step getting closer to xer prey, but things didn't work out as she firstly intended. When The Blindness of the Fallen was just about to leap and take the last breath from the raven, something just took it out of his nose, a sudden silhouette catching the bird by its neck and biting into it. When she finally could see what happened exactly, she saw Panther, the new soldier of New Moon Bringers, not even having the time to obtain her official full name and using the rogue one. It seemed that she took her chores seriously already, working towards higher ranks eagerly. Her golden eyes stared at amused and surprised Fallen, while wiping the blood staining her white fur with her tongue. The raven certainly wasn't worth nothing nor meaningless in its position, as some might think. Everything had its place in the circle of life after all, and this life just had the bad luck to end it today.
"Quite impressing, huh? Apologizes for that I didn't greet you sooner but well, there was a job to be done" - she chuckled softly. Cliff just nodded his head, a common greeting among Bringers, Tenebris doing the same in a gesture of imitating its companion. It certainly was in place for this situation.
"Mind if I join you? My company just ended its shift and I'm all free. I certainly won't mind a good training and kicking some unwanted guests away..." - she wondered, excited to help them if only they needed an extra pair of paws. "Of course, nothing wrong with that. The forest won't get any smaller with you in our patrol" - Fallen responded immediately, excited to have a company. His words didn't showed any exact emotion, but he tried to express what he felt the best he could. Panther immediately got by their side, guarding their patrol together with Tenebris.

Cliff and Fallen switched their roles, on the other hand. Fallen looked for any hints of more prey's presence, ready to leap after any mouse, bird or fish in the nearby ponds and The Cliff looking for herbs he could eventually heal his companion's wounds and sicknesses with they might gain during their journey. He gently touched the ground and mossy plains searching for any herb known to him, and when he found the first one, a sole borage leaf finding its place between tiny rocks, soon found new one at the bottom of his bag. It was almost empty but he worked towards changing that. The rest will go to the general storage when they'll go back.

The Fallen
Last Explore Post | Last Response Received

0000000000Pine stared down at Furzetuft, his pupils blown wide with adrenaline. Several of his tribemates gathered around him, claws and teeth stained with the hogs' blood. Though they had beaten the hogs back and killed them, they had found Furzetuft too late to save her from the brunt of the attack. Her pelt was torn in several places, blood welling up and staining the grass a deep shade of red. Pine's nose twitched, and he stepped away, frowning at the metallic tang of blood in the air.

0000000000River shuddered and tore his gaze away from the gruesome scene, his heart pounding rapidly. Roar hadn't allowed him to take part in the fight, but regardless, he couldn't bring himself to calm down. Was Furzetuft dead? Were there more hogs coming for them? What would Fennel say when they saw their friend like this? It was...horrible.

0000000000In the wake of Pine's call, Petal, Strike, and Fennel crashed through the undergrowth, coming to a stop in the small clearing where Furzetuft lay bleeding. Petal was the first to take action, crouching beside Furzetuft and unloading bundles of herbs on the forest floor. "Give me some space! Strike, please ensure there aren't any more hogs out there!" Petal looked back toward Fennel, her eyes sympathetic. "Fennel, you should be here for her. I don't know the extent of her wounds just yet...but it doesn't look good."

0000000000With that, Petal got to work. She prepared a poultice of marigold, carefully handling the leaves to extract the healing properties. She then set the dressing out to cure for a few minutes while she licked Furzetufts injuries, cleaning her wounds of dirt and other debris. Once satisfied with her work, Petal retrieved the pulp of marigold and gently smeared it over Fennel's wounds to prevent infection and stop the bleeding.

0000000000Luckily, Furzetuft's wounds didn't seem terribly deep, but the number of gashes and punctures was what made it dangerous. Petal turned her attention to Fennel, a severe expression on her face. "Fennel, in case we cannot stay with you, make sure Furzetuft's wounds don't get dirty. These wounds aren't deep, but with so many of them, it's not blood loss but an infection you should be worried about."

0000000000Petal looked over Furzetuft's body once more, finding that nothing else required her immediate attention. Good, with any luck, the she-cat would wake, and the two friends would be on their way. Hopefully, to somewhere safe. "She looks good. I'm glad we brought you with us." Petal looked up, coming face to face with Rain. The caliby cleared her throat, flushing slightly at how close their noses were.

0000000000"Uhm...yes. I don't think this would have turned out so well if I hadn't been here. Of course, I could say the same for you all." Rain smiled softly and nodded. "We each have our own part to play. I just never thought Star Reader would've let you come with us...how did you convince them?" Petal stiffened, her blood running cold. She hadn't convinced Star Reader of anything. Star Reader said this was her punishment for publicly going against their wishes. They had said it reflected poorly on the two of them if they were at odds. Petal frowned. Perhaps Star Reader was right about that.

0000000000She shuffled her paws awkwardly, feeling tense. "Well, I suppose I just got lucky. I said you all would need me, going out into the unknown and whatnot." Rain hummed softly - she didn't look as though she believed Petal. The young healer smiled slightly, and Rain finally shrugged. "Whatever the case, I'm glad you're here...I've been wanting to get to know you better."

0000000000Petal's ears warmed, and she smiled gently, happy the tension had passed. "Thank you, I'm sure we'll have plenty of time to get acquainted." Rain opened her jaws to respond when Strike's voice sliced through the somewhat peaceful atmosphere.

0000000000"No more hogs out there, but we should still return to the forest's edge. I don't like it here...I can feel something watching us." Roar and River padded alongside Strike, the three of them having gone to search the nearby woods for more hogs earlier. Pine stood, blinking approvingly. "I agree. I don't like it in here. Besides, Furzetuft will be safer once we're out of here."

0000000000Petal glanced at Rain, surprised to see the other she-cat already padding away to talk to Roar and River. She frowned but pushed her feelings aside and turned to Fennel. "Would you like some help moving Furzetuft somewhere safer? Or do you think the two of you will be okay without us?"

Searching didn't take long, the trio caught the scent of the wounded feline early - which was worrisome to Cider Heart, getting the scent of blood that made her hair tingle. They leaped through the brambles of a blooming forsythia bush and immediately laid their eyes upon a wounded cat.

"Gray, do you still have that broom?" Cider Heart was quick to act once she heard Furzetuft’s voice break through her racing mind. The tom stepped forward, detangling the herb carefully from his pelt in order to use its entirety on the wounded feline laid out at their paws. "This should help." His eyes were watching the rivulets of blood as they stained the ground.

Cider Heart surveyed the spot they inhabited with her eyes, trying to gauge any other clues as to what or who could have caused this. Her nose was useless, filled with the scent of pain and concern

Fidegetclaw's eyes flickered as he began to emerge from his dreaming state, feeling the cold seep from the cave floor through his nest. Today was the day he, Risingsky, and Quiethowl would go on their once a moon scout of the territory. Being Listener, Quiethowl was secluded to the camp in order to maintain the Glimmering Ancestor Stones and hardly ever got to leave so this scouting patrol was one of the few times she was able to get fresh air.

The Healer stretched his legs as he stood before exiting his den. "Ready to go?" called Risingsky, who seemed to be bouncing with energy beside the cave entrance. "Not as much as you," chuckled Fidgetclaw as he walked over, touching his nose with the she-cat.

A soft rustle sounded from across camp before Quiethowl emerged from the moss blanket that covered her den. "Rise? Fidget?" the Listener called with her nose in the air, following the scents of her clanmates. "Are you two ready?"

"We are, Quiet!" Risingsky answered back, tail swishing behind her excitedly. Fidgetclaw chuckled at the Speaker's eagerness to scout the territory as Quiethowl approached them. "I suppose we can head out then," the she-cat purred as she stepped between her clanmates, following their steps as they exited their camp and entered the forests of their territory.

    the rosy blush of elation was ever-so luminescent as it bloomed across piketail’s curls, every strand reminiscent of a dove’s standing on edge. more kits?! as if a honeyed hive of bees had been placed in the center of the rosy blush of his mind, every thought seemed to buzz, fabricating a labyrinth of hibiscus and hope for the many twilights ahead.

    and as if a blessing sent by the celestial beings above… ribbons of daylight and daffodils glistened upon the sleek frame of quivering critters. a good luck sign.

    in the lovely, buzzing hush-- the lyrical squeak of a stranger’s soft solo had adorned the air of hibiscus and hope. “well… firestrike, i have something to tell you.” a tangle of beryl braids wavering atop a petite frame, unveiled a little timmy. “fennel and i are thinking of taking off.”

    “so soon?”

    “we have planned lots of adventures but i promise to visit again.” timmy grinned. “maybe… i’ll find a way to repay your kindness to me.”
    (fennel and timmy have left on their adventure!)

    but a storm was brewing in those ribbons of daylight and daffodils-- and soon, the essence of blooming hibiscus and hope dwindled into nothingness.
    (a patrol of rogues have been scented close to the border! does the patrol confront or ignore them?)

    petite and crumpled, her frame was of daylight and daises. a tangled mess of milky curls and snagged knots tinted with carmine and copper. she was a kit. “dahlia?” wavering ever-so slightly, the starry constellations of furzetuft’s gaze were adorned with broken promises and omens. “stay with me, darling.”

    the stranger’s touch was upon tangled mess of milky curls, a gentle caress searching for wounds. “she was attacked by predators. a fox… and something venomous.” her brow furrowed. “i’m not sure… do you have snakes around he-”

    the words died upon her lips.

    “watch out!” a mere cacophony in the chaos, gray cloud was quick, ivory fangs sinking into a slithering devil adorned with the canopy of a daylit blossom.

    “Race you!” Salt Runner chirped the minute they had gotten far enough to not wake anyone with their loud voices, starting to sprint forward only to be cut off by his sister’s leg wrapping around his own, sending him sprawling forward into murky water. He spat droplets out of his mouth, still laying down in the water in dismay, ears pulling back at Maple Bark’s laugh. “That’s so unfair!”

    The tabby she-cat shrugged, moving to step past the other cat, tail flicking more water at his face. “Maybe you should assess situations before you just start sprinting places.” She spoke sternly, like it was obvious, like she was actually being serious and not just taunting, although everybody could tell that was not the case.

    Salt Runner looked up at Silver Antler, eyes turning into saucers as he pleaded for the tom to take his side, but he just copied Maple Bark’s shrug, flinching as Salt Runner shook out all of the water in his fur just as he happened to step by him.

    The trio walked in almost silence for a second, minus Salt Runner’s grumbling, before Maple Bark’s tail raised. “Do you guys smell that?” She asked quietly, turning her head to look at the two toms.

    “No, what?” Salt Runner blurted, obviously not catching onto his sister’s hushed tone, ears turning hot at the realization, but only after Maple Bark gave him a glare. “Sorry.”

    Silver Antler ignored the bickering, crouching down low to the ground, slinking forward and ignoring the feeling of water trying to climb its way up his belly fur. He had scented the woodpecker right after Maple Bark had brought it up, and almost immediately decided that this would be his kill. It was only right, seeing as the siblings with him couldn’t stop joking around with each other for two seconds.

    It wasn’t long before the grey and white bird’s head appeared in his vision, the brazen streak of red giving it away before anything. He crouched just a little bit lower as he got closer before leaping for it, paws slamming down on the avian’s outstretched wings as it tried to escape him, liking out a shriek as he swiftly turned it into prey. Rolling over his kill to get a good look at it, his brow furrowed at the sight of a spherical shape in the woodpecker's mouth, smooth and as dark as coal.
    [ + 4FP woodpecker, + 1 blackhole edit, + 8 XP FP, + 1 XP item ]

    “Good catch.” A voice suddenly spoke from beside him, and he stepped protectively over his kill as a tortioseshell she-cat stepped towards him, face oddly calm although her pelt prickled with unease.

    “Who are you?” Silver Antler asked, teeth baring in a threat. If this she-cat was already scared, maybe he could scare her enough to leave without having to shred her pelt… Although, he would if he had to! Every good warrior would.

    The mysterious she shook her head. “Not a fight. My friend… well, it seems they have disappeared. I was wondering if you three had scented them, by any chance? Or, even better, seen them?”

    THE FALLEN !!
    xgravis cordis archive last post

    And the starry-eyed traveller was a comet lost in space.

    Fennel. A comet so far away from their homeworld ━ cursed to an exile of fragile futures. Their curls seemed to morph with the shadows, darkened to a dark, earthen hue, damp and wrinkled with a concern that stretched beyond time and space. Their jaws quirked into a half-hearted grin, one that couldn’t quite settle.

    “Hey, Fennel?” Petal’s nose touched their shoulder. “She’ll be alright. It’s… not your fault.”

    They didn’t seem to hear. Instead, the weary traveller gently teased the tangles from their friend's curls, touch light near the bruises of violets and periwinkles. And at their touch, her sleeping form seemed to ease, the color of her cheeks returning like a daylight blush.

    Their gaze finally wandered to hers, voice hoarse, yet still lilting with that familiar timbre. "Thank you. I don't have anything with me right now, but… I hope to repay your kindness one day." (npc quest completed!)

    Fennel's jaws parted a touch. Closed. They shook their head, tail lightly curving around her shoulders. "Ah, you should be going. It seems your patrol found quite the haul during their earlier sweep. They may need some help." (+2FP shrew, +2FP shrew, +2FP shrew, +1FP scraps, +1 honey, +1 uncommon edit)

    Yet… something made her hesitate.

    Her brows tensed. “Is everything alright? You seemed like you were about to say something earlier.”

    “Well, then. I think I may have become a tad readable.” They chuckled, a discordant note ringing out. “Ah, it’s nothing, really. Just… remember the argument I mentioned? It was about this pigeon. Fluffy, speckled… about yea big. Furzetuft found him, but the little chap wandered off and we’ve been searching for awhile. A few days.”

    They cleared their throat, tracing a jagged circle with their paw. “You and your friends have already been mighty gracious and I’m grateful. I just… didn’t feel right asking, y’know?”

    Fennel is looking for a pigeon friend (who belongs to Furzetuft)! They seem rather shy about asking for
    help once again. Does the patrol offer to help them out? Or continue on their journey?

    the enchanting ashen curve of the cavern had dwindled into the full bloom of shivering woody dales, bejewelled with the shimmer of morning dew.

    reality was burdened with the brittle wisp of springtime madness and a nightmare angel was in the depths of it all. with eyes of daffodils and a freckle of ink scattered within, the angel cooed, its song eclipsed with fever dreams and wishes to wish the world away.
    (+4fp [owl], +4exp)

    but adorned within the nightmare angel’s dying song, was a murmur of uncertainty. a lyrical cry for help from a stranger.
    (the patrol has found furzetuft [an npc]! she needs their help finding a friend of hers! will they help or ignore her?)
