Golden streams of light flickered along the dirt path as spindly branches swayed from above. The warm greenleaf breeze drifted from the leafy canopy down to the cats below, guiding their weary bodies home through the forest. It was a welcome change, the splattering of sunlight certainly more pleasant than damp fur and drenched pawpads offered by the prior season.

The silver deputy parted his jaws, allowing the familiar Greenleaf aroma to wash over his senses. Two squirrels not far off... Wouldn't hurt to grab some prey on the way home, he thought to himself, purple-blue eyes squinting against the sunlight. Crunching leaves echoed from behind, interrupting his thoughts and drawing his attention.

Atlasdash approached, a pair of plump grey squirrels dangling from his tightened muzzle, the same frown from earlier etched upon his gaze. (+3fp squirrel, +3fp squirrel) A jumble of conflicting emotions bombarded the father's mind as he watched his son pass by without so much as a glance. It seemed the younger cat had the same thought, just sooner.

"Nice catch," Solarspark mewed in a light tone, differing greatly from his earlier mood. Though a muffled grunt is all the tom would receive for a reply as the older cat marched past the group, their silver tail flicking behind them.

"It is certainly a nice catch," Stormbranch agreed with the young cat, his gaze flickering tentatively towards the silver tom now well ahead of the group. "Greenleaf has been generous to us.. What with those squirrels and the herbs found by Novafrost." (+1 coltsfoot, +1 thyme, +1 mint, +1 horsetail)

The golden-colored tom blinked up at the deputy, words forming at the tip of his tongue just as the startling sound of rapid pawsteps halted his response. Stormbranch's eyes followed the sound, curiosity bubbling within him as an elegant she-cat emerged from the undergrowth. Her dappled fur was reminiscent of scarlet leaves decorating the forest floor- a delicate balance of chestnut and honey. "Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt," she began, gulping for air between her words, "But I have a favor to ask, if you don't mind."

Furzetuft (npc) has dropped an active task: "Win a new cat through some sort of competition (can be an RU prize too!)"

Bastion adjusted himself as his commander got settled. He had been waiting for his next mission and this looked like it might be a bigger one. There had been whisperings around the desk cats about the Western allies since yesterdays messengers came in. "I need you to take a team of two others to investigate the borderlands of our allies to the West. They've had some concerns and asked us to help look into it regarding their new neighbors. For now, it will be a general intelligence gathering operation. We will send out more later if the need arises", they eyed Bastion a moment, "I don't need to remind you this needs to be discreet. Anything that might affect them could come our way as well and we need to be prepared."
Bastion sat up more "Yes sir!" "Very well, be off by nightfall. This is time sensitive." His commander waved him off and Bastion took his leave.

Bastion found two that would be the best at being discreet and quick and informed them to be ready soon. "Really? You chose Shadow? You know my information network is the best!" Chroma said as she gathered her supplies. "Your network may be the best, but he's better at the getting in and out and you know it Chroma," Bastion pointed out. She sighed and strapped on her pack. As they walked out to the courtyard he said, "We need the best of our intelligence and you two are it right now."
"Aaw! You flatter me!" A voice suddenly said behind them. "Gyaah!" Chroma's fur puffed as she swirled around, "Shadow! I have told you to stop doing that!" "Aw! But then I wouldn't be able to listen in on being called one of the best!" Shadow said with a grin.
"'One of' but not The best," Chroma replied with a smirk. Shadow squinted his eyes with a smile, "We'll see about that."
Bastion sighed and said, "Let's just get on with it. It's going to be quite a trip like this."

As they were starting out the exit, they saw a sad looking group heading back from their own travels. Darian in the front looking a bit strained and two others following. Covered head to tail in splotches of dried mud, Farra and Junior did not seem in the greatest of moods. Seems that exploration did not turn out as expected. Bastion hoped his team would have better luck.

The tension in the patrol was nearly palpable. With each passing moment, Emerald Darter felt something akin to frustration, perhaps a hint of boredom, and annoyance at being out here with two cats who couldn't even get along in a shared task. Couldn't they both understand how much each of them wanted to find these cats?! Why did it have to fall on Emerald Darter to play mediator? No, maybe that wasn't fair - fae wouldn't play mediator. They could work it out themselves; they were all, after all, adults and completely capable.

Her mind set on not getting more involved than fae had to, Emerald Darter took a few paces away from Timeburner and Patchtufts, trying, albeit not that hard, to regain some patience to complete the shared task. She wandered a few lengths away, dropping instintively to a crouch as a rustle in the bushes nearby caught fae out of fae's thoughts. Some good hunting to get the mind off this nonsense, she thought, glad to have a distraction from Patchtufts and Timeburner. She didn't even register the pure oddity of the thing she captured until she had dropped it at the paws of the other two, confused at the incredulous looks of the both of them.

"What, haven't you seen a bird before?" Fae began, starting to shake her head before she looked down, realizing what was wrong. While she had been doing her own hunting, it seemed either Patchtufts or Timeburner - fae couldn't bring faeself to truly care who - had brought down their own bird, a thrush. But next to the thrush, this bird was something strange entirely. A strange amalgamation of color - too bright blue mixed with muted brown stripes - and strange feather formations across it's body. A little spikier textured on the wings, but smooth like the thrush on the body. Whatever, Emerald Darter thought. Food is still food at the end of the day, continuing on her way, leaving Timeburner and Patchtufts to continue staring at the oddity in front of them. (+3 FP strange bird, +2 FP thrush)

Despite it being only spring, the sun beat down on the group like it had a grudge. It was a bit of a trek to get out to the ruins, the sort that left one wondering why they were out in the first pace. Furzetuft seemed in good enough spirits and was amused enough by Ada’s incessant jabbering about the ruins to push through her anxiety about her friend.

It would have been nice if Gara was able to join them, Jonay decided. A dragon would have made the trek feel more doable, even if none of them could ride her. She’d be able to scout ahead for the injured cat and make this miserable journey a little more bearable.

Alas, her mission was just as if not more important. He’d just have to be the dragon scout himself. It was an easy start; when they passed by a fisher-human on their way from a hard morning’s fishing, Jonay was able to snag a large fish to share amongst the group and something particularly shiny. [+5 fp (large stolen fish), +60 stardust]

Every step felt like hours, but eventually they made their way into the ruins without being driven entirely mad by Ada. Jonay shared a look with Airám and Magec; how long would this take? He resolved himself to play as dragon scout once more, only for Furzetuft and Ada to take off running. The three of them followed suit despite the heat.

When they stopped, panting heavily, it was in front of a black cat with a broken leg and a fatigued look on his face. Furzetuft immediately began fussing over him, fretting with every breath she took.

“Thank you for helping me find him,” she said after she’d done a thorough inspection, “but I’m afraid I’ll still need your help. I don’t think he can walk out of the ruins like this…” [You’ve found Furzetuft’s friend! Unfortunately, he is quite injured and needs 3 herbs to heal. Does your clan help?]

Twisted, sprawling branches pinned the form of the enchanting she-cat, preventing her from escaping the fallen tree's grasp. "Hello." She croaked, seemingly lighting up after seeing her friend. "A little help, please?" The she-cat asked, flicking her head to look at where spindly branches covered most of the view of her leg. Sunpaw blinked and furrowed her eyebrows, determined to assist Fennel and her travel companion. "Of course. Lucky for you, I'm training to be a healer for my clan. One moment, let me see what's around here. I need to find something for the bleeding." Disappearing into the undergrowth, Sunpaw focused as much as possible- what could she use to help this she-cat out? What was nearby?

"There!" She whispered excitedly, darting over to an arachnid nest she had committed to her memory a few days ago- a patch of cobwebs were securely strung along the base of a fallen, dead log, glimmering with morning dew drops in the sun's path. The youthful medicine apprentice grabbed a nearby twig and carefully spun a few circles of the web between the sticks' jutting points, gentle enough to preserve the sticky web but tight enough so that she could gather a decent amount of it. Grasping the stick between her teeth, she dashed through the undergrowth back to where the fallen tree had caught Fennel's friend.

Fennel sat waiting beside her friend, reassuring the other she-cat with a few gentle licks, pressing against her exposed side. At Sunpaw's arrival, both strangers perked up. "How will that help her?" Fennel asked anxiously, a spark of hope flashing in her eyes. Sunpaw politely brushed past Fennel as she stood to reach her friend, placing her paws firmly against the small, fallen tree after she had placed the twig a few paw steps away. "Fennel, I want you to first grab her scruff and pull as I push. Got it?" Fennel, having forgotten about her unanswered question, nodded unyieldingly. "Got it." Quickly moving into place in front of her companion, Fennel firmly grasped her friend's fluffy scruff in her maw as the three she-cats braced themselves for the shift.

Sunpaw pressed all her weight as fast as she could, leaning upwards against the log. Although it had barely shifted, it was enough for Fennel to pull her friend out swiftly, the clattering of lanky branches and the soft groan of the stranger being the only signs of the escape. When the she-cat had been pulled out from under the fallen tree, Sunpaw wasted no time in retrieving the cobweb twig and weaving the cobwebs around the she-cat's superficial wound. Sitting back, Fennel and Sunpaw both relaxed at seeing the bleeding slow completely. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Fennel whispered, gratefulness glowing in her soft voice. Tired and sore, her companion blinked slowly at Sunpaw and nodded her own thanks. "We're lucky Fennel found you." Sunpaw bashfully shrugged of their gratitude, "It's my duty, I would help any injured cat."

Proud of her quick thinking, Sunpaw stood, remembering they were still close to the heart of OceanClan territory. "As lovely as it was to meet the both of you, I don't want to get you two in trouble with our guards and gladiators back at home." The terms were clearly unfamiliar to both loners but they understood the message, Fennel being the one to reply. "Of course, we'll be out of your fur in no time. Really, thank you." Sunpaw offered a polite smile in response and padded over to the injured cat's other flank, "Here, let's get you two to safety, yeah?"

---

Reaching the shallow river bordering OceanClan's territory's edge, Sunpaw happily waved goodbye to the strangers, "Good luck, watch out for rogues!" Fennel and her friend waved their tails in response before disappearing through thickets and briars, leaving only a few small tufts of fur behind from the dense shrubbery. Sunpaw sighed, turning to head back to camp. It seems today she would not be searching for any pretty strangers, especially not the other apprentice-aged she-cat lingering in her thoughts.

---

Twilight shimmered overhead, stars sprinkled throughout the darkened sky. The sun had set long before the pair of assassin trainees had set out to train. Anala had been enforcing more and more daytime patrols despite the abnormality of their schedules, having normally been more active towards sunset and moonhigh. Either way, both apprentices obediently followed their leader's orders without question, no matter how sore their paws were from patrolling or how often they exchanged tired yawns. Rain led the way, starlight catching a portion of her mask as they traveled through the sparse, snowy undergrowth. Especially at this time of night, the mountains felt endless beyond their imaginations. There was so much territory to cover in such little time... without the cover of a large group, the mountains felt hollow and eerily quiet.

Glancing over her shoulder at her friend, she blinked slowly as she watched him focus on their path. "You alright, Fire?" She asked after hesitating a long moment. The tawny tom's eyes shot up to gaze at her. "You seem a bit more distracted then usual." Fireplume shook his head lightly to clear it. He didn't stop along the narrow, rugged path as they talked. "No I'm fine, just... tired, honestly. Don't tell Anala or Burningsky I said that though." His voice was hollow and lacking emotion. Never having been the most expressive cat, it hardly surprised Rain he was attempting to be mysterious and quiet now, even though they had been friends longer than either of their memories could span.

"Hm, okay, if you say so. What are we working on today?" Lifting her paws to climbed the steep slope, she dug her silver claws into the jagged, snow dusted rock beneath her, rough pads scraping silently against the mountain terrain. Fireplume hummed in thought for a moment, "I believe we're supposed to practice our sparring. Burningsky said I looked like a disturbed bear cub today when I had been practicing with Eagle. Too heavy on my paws, she said. Too unsure." Rain paused her trekk after they both had reach the top of the slope where a wide field of frost-brushed mountainous herbs and weeds grew, creating a rough outline of a circle over the indented clearing. Rain blinked before making her comment, her expression unreadable from the way her mask guarded her face, "I think she's being ridiculous. Bears are too powerful to have to worry about being heavy- although it seems you have been getting a few extra crows from the prey pile lately." Rain chuckled light-heartedly and whipped around towards the widespread clearing, beckoning her friend with the flick of her black and white tail.

A warm glow spread through his heart although he'd never admit it- Rain was the only cat he'd let get away with calling him well-fed. "Better watch your tail, Rainstorm, my claws are itching for another spar." Rain spun her body around gracefully, her claws dancing over the stone as she faced the large tom. Despite him having the size and experience advantage, it was difficult to win against Rainstorm- her spirit and skill was beyond anything Fireplume had ever witnessed before, even Anala had acknowledged it once or twice by now. Digging her claws into the gravely soil below, Rain centered her weight and bunched her muscles in a wide crouch, the only piece of her expression visible being her devilish grin.

"Bring it on."

Crowpatch didn't notice that Sandytears and Oysterstench weren't with him anymore - instead, he had his eyes and nose trained on something else. He had heard the rustle through the bushes, and his instincts took over. With a practiced crouch, Crowpatch stalked the bushy tail of a squirrel through the undergrowth, paws gliding silently over the terrain. The gentle breeze drifting through the air felt nice against his fur, and the birds sang their songs overhead, keeping the squirrel in front of him unaware that it was being followed. In one swift and powerful leap, Crowpatch had caught the squirrel, trotting back to his companions happily. (+3 FP squirrel)

When Crowpatch arrived back at the stream, he perked his ears in attention at the newcomer. He kept his attention on Furzetuft, curious about what she had to offer. "Thank you so much!" Her voice almost felt like a song, her excitement catchy as she smiled widely at the offer of the cobweb and stick. "This is a huge help after that storm - it seems summer is always giving us surprises," she chuckled, delicately accepting the herbs and tucking them behind her. "Here, I have something for you in return as a thank you!" Treasure found its way towards the two toms, a reward for their friendliness and compassion for a stranger. (+1 UC edit from accepting Furzetuft's trade!)
