━━━━ willowstripe's tail wound has healed well.

⛰︎

━━━━ browndash l approached hazelrise with a cautious pad on his step. he confessed how he feels about the tom—cat, implying he has admired him for some time now and has finally found the courage to confront his emotions.

hazelrise is surprised, but doesn't reject browndash.

browndash and hazelrise are now mates.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar declared that it was time for one apprentice to be made a warrior. pinepaw is made pinebone — and he is honoured for his resilience. he does however remain in the medicine den, suffering from the wound he had upon joining the clan.

members visited him, congratulating him with a few licks atop his head.

pinebone felt welcomed and appreciated.

⛰︎

━━━━ roarpaw bumbled into camp. his fur was a mess, all bedraggled and knotted. upon question him and what had happened, roarpaw declared that he got into a fight with a rogue — and won.

some of the warriors didn't believe the young tom. but roarpaw knows what happened. he gained a few scrapes from the tussle.

⛰︎

━━━━ locusttree and roarpaw toured the territory on a quick patrol. locusttree spotted a thrush, and he flicked his tail for his 'paw to stop.

❝ roarpaw, what's the best way to catch it? ❞ asked the warrior.

roarpaw just rolled his eyes. ❝ why can't we just try and catch it, and see? ❞ he scoffed.

irritated, locusttree grunted and nodded, giving him the go ahead to do so. locusttree huffed under his breath when the bird fluttered off, having spotted the apprentice.

⛰︎

━━━━ goldrain takes his apprentice, springpaw, and nectarnip, on a quick training session. goldrain figured he could use nectarnip and run scenarios by his apprentice — then watch as they demonstrated the battle moves.

⛰︎

━━━━ greatstorm nagged at daisypaw to come along with him on a training session. daisypaw tried to refuse the demand, claiming it was too cold and he didn't like the snow — but greatstorm cared less.

greatstorm quickly took charge and blabbered out what their session would entail. they practiced how to weave around an opponent and daisypaw quickly picked up on everything.

daisypaw was praised for how quickly he was taking it all in, and the patrol returned back to camp with their chest fluffed with pride.

⛰︎

━━━━ a large patrol, consisting of spiderfur, webwhistle, loachpath, and two apprentices, wheatpaw and oriolepaw, strider quickly along the border.

a gang of rogues strode confidently out from behind a tree, yowling and spitting as they confronted the cats.

webwhistle's stomach knotted. he didn't like this one bit.

the rogues attacked, veering for the apprentices first in an attempt to pick them off. webwhistle leaped in front of oriolepaw, standing his ground with his jaw dropped, fangs flashing, and his claws pushed out.

the patrol couldn't hold the rogues off for too long, and had to retreat back to safety.

webwhistle's leg is badly injured following the flee.

━━━━ doespots sprain has healed. he's glad to be back on his feet, but stupidly tripped over a root on his way back to his den. only his pride was bruised.

⛰︎

━━━━ basslight is no longer suffering from her sickness. her case of greencough has passed.

⛰︎

━━━━ locusttree has gotten a running nose after spending too much time out on patrols.

⛰︎

━━━━ rattlefleck's dislocation has healed.

⛰︎

━━━━ coldbee and chasmpoppy wandered the territory in search of swifthawk, after the tom hadn't returned from a patrol.

swifthawk's body was found beside a fox den and he was later brought back to camp, to allow for the clan to mourn.

⛰︎

━━━━ basslight is unsure about webwhistle's leg injury. she's thinking on consulting with a medicine cat from hemlockclan, worried as to why the wound isn't healing. it's infected and swollen — and she is worrying greatly.

⛰︎

━━━━ while on a hunt alone, brightstrike was attacked by a group of rats. he managed to fight them off, but staggered into camp with his body welted with wounds.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar is pleased with how far oriolepaw has come with his training. he is named oriolelaurel and is honoured for his honesty.

⛰︎

━━━━ avalanchepaw's yellowcough has gone.

and finally, after moons of resting in the medicine den, pinebone's head injury has healed. he can now enjoy life as a warrior in peakclan.

blackear's mangled leg has also healed. he too can take in the sights and scents of peakclan's territory.

⛰︎

━━━━ rowansmoke is uncomfortable, and keeps itching. he wishes his wound would heal properly, as it seems to only be getting worse as the days pass.

⛰︎

━━━━ daisyknoll quickly took avalanchepaw and wheatpaw on a herb gathering patrol, giving them a break from their mentors — while also benefiting from the young eyes and bodies of the 'paws.

poppy and moss is gathered on the patrol, thanks to both of the apprentices who crawled into hard to reach places.

⛰︎

━━━━ having found a nice place to settle down and sun themselves, squirreldusk, claypaw and pinebone spend a few hours lazing in the sun.

claypaw chased after a bee, and a butterfly, finding joy in the small game of chase.

the patrol returned empty pawed, but very relaxed.

⛰︎

━━━━ a patrol meets hemlockclan at the border. the cats of hemlockclan seemed standoffish and a bit cold towards the patrol.

goldrain and greatstorm, and their apprentices, as well as spiderfur, part from the border — feeling slightly uneasy, and worried that there is some form of tension between the two clans.

relations with hemlockclan have worsened.

━━━━ doespots tried to convince chasmpoppy to run away with him. the she—cat refused, she didn't trust the tom—cat, and she couldn't leave her kits all alone in the clan. she wants to be with them for as long as she can... parting from peakclan, to her, feels wrong — as they helped her when she needed it the most.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar returned to camp with a slight limp, and some scuffs on her pelt. she explained to the medicine cats, and her worried mate, about what had happened.

gorgestar fought a fox, but was injured while doing so. thankfully, she didn't loose any lives.

⛰︎

━━━━ loachpath pounced after a bird that took off into the sky, it's wings flapping frantically in an attempt to escape the felines snapping jaw.

a soft snap vibrated off of loachpath's tongue as she cracked the birds neck and dropped it to the floor to gain her bearings.

the warriors heart sank rapidly, and hear breathing hitched. she drew in a stuttered breath after eyeing up a feline who crouched nearby, having watched her every move.

❝ peakclan cats shouldn't be out hunting in these parts. this is hemlockclan territory, fool, ❞ spat the cat.

the cat drew up a paw and lunged towards loachpath.

she panicked, scrambling at the grass under her feet as she narrowly scathed a possibly lethal slash from the angered hemlockclan warrior.

loachpath curled her body and arched her back. she pushed her ears against her head, flickered her lips to flash her fangs, and prepared for a fight.

the hemlockclan cat leaped once again and collided firmly with loachpath, who hooked her hind legs close to her stomach before kicking out her clawed limbs.

the cat howled loudly before silencing after clamping it's jaw upon loachpath's head. letting out a whine of pain, loachpath felt a warmth trickle down her ear.

she put all of her might into the final blow to the cats gut, watching as it staggered off of her, cowering in a hunched position, face crinkled with pain.

❝ count this as a warning, mountain dweller, ❞

loachpath staggered to her paws and quickly made her back towards her hunt, then over the border.

loachpath sustained a small injury, having accidently crossed onto hemlockclan's border.

⛰︎

━━━━ coldbee's wound has healed.

⛰︎

━━━━ the infection within webwhistle's wound has abated. the horrible smell that flowed from it has passed, finally, but the wound is still sore.

⛰︎

━━━━ squirreldusk and geckotooth are no longer mates. the two have parted ways, and aren't sure as to whether they will remain friends.

they have both agreed to take some time away from one another, and to not cause any issues should they be paired up on a patrol.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar walked from her den. days of rest have since helped her wounds from the fox, but she was still on the mend. she wandered towards the crooked branch that hung over the clearing and clambered onto it, calling for her clan to gather.

❝ today we welcome another cat into the ranks of a warrior. robinpaw has trained hard to understand the ways of the warrior code, and the responsibilities of a true warrior. ❞ gorgestar called out with a wide smile upon her slightly pained face.

❝ almondstripe has trainings you well, robinpaw. do you promise to iphone the warrior code, and protect the clan — even at the cost of your life? ❞

robinpaw looked towards his mother and nodded. ❝ i do, ❞ he croaked.

❝ then, by the powers of starclan, i give you your warriors name. robinpaw, from this moment on you will be known as robinpetal. starclan honours your resilience, and your bravery, ❞

the clan cheered loudly for robinpetal, but the voice that carried the loudest was from his father, who stood at the back of the gathering, leaping up and down with joy at his sons success.

⛰︎

━━━━ excited with his triumphs, robinpetal and scrubstorm exited camp to train, and spend some time together.

robinpetal unfortunately over—worked himself and as a result of it, is a little bruised.

⛰︎

━━━━ oriolelaurel, in an attempt to impress the she—cats of the clan, pranced around camp with his tail pushed tall. he tripped over a rock, and didn't land properly.

he feels like a fool and wanted the mountain to just collapse on top of him. his mothers encouraging words helped ease his embarrassment a little.

⛰︎

━━━━ hawkbitflare vanished into the valley for a few days. he visited hemlockclan, congratulating them on their new medicine cat — while also offering up his knowledge to the new medicine feline.

⛰︎

━━━━ wheatpaw has excelled at every task that has been given to her. gorgestar is beyond pleased with her progress as an apprentice, and decides to make her a warrior early.

wheatpaw is honoured for her boldness, and named wheatwave.

⛰︎

━━━━ rowansmoke's infection has gone. he's glad it has subsided. the smell from the wound worried him.

⛰︎

━━━━ valleykit is scolded after attempting to sneak out of camp.

⛰︎

━━━━ rabbitneedle sniffed the air, and she looked  over her shoulder to her patrol peers, inkmeadow and pinebone. she raised her brow.

❝ hemlockclan's scent has strayed, ❞ she whispered under her breath.

annoyed, inkmeadow stormed past rabbitneedle and into a bush to find a hemlockclan apprentice hiding in the shadows.

❝ this is peakclan's territory! you shouldn't be here, you should know better! do they not teach you the warrior code in hemlockclan, hm?! ❞ growled the warrior.

pinebone stood and watched as the 'paw's eyes soon glazed with wetness. it was clearly upset.

❝ inkmeadow... really? ❞ pinebone muttered, tail tucked between his legs. ❝ just let them go, ❞

inkmeadow scoffed. she nodded her head for the apprentice to flee, and watched as it scampered off towards hemlockclan's territory.

the patrol returned to camp in silence. the air was thick with tension from what had just happened, and pinebone was disapointed with inkmeadow's actions.

relations with hemlockclan have worsened, again.

⛰︎

━━━━ mountainfall noticed that the moss in the medicine den was getting old, and needed to gather some more.

upon arriving at a location, the moss has been dug up by an animal. mountainfall salvages what little moss she can, returning to camp disappointed.

⛰︎

━━━━ an uproar of barking caused a patrol to veer off and follow the sound. blackear spotted some dogs gnawing at a carcass, their twolegs yelling for them to return to them. the twolegs gathered their dogs and returned to their monsters nearby.

blackear is thankful for patrolling when he did, as the clan will have enough food for several days, on top of the prey that squirreldusk and claypaw had caught. 

⛰︎

━━━━ cragspark bounded after almondstripe. the two toms travelled quickly across the valley, as they whooped and thrilled. cragspark spoke of a place he wanted to show almondstripe.

almondstripe was uneasy about the location after the two arrived. it was an old badger sett, that smelled a bit sour.

❝ let's get back to camp, i got a bad feeling about this cragspark, ❞ mumbled the brown tabby.

snorting, cragspark rolled his eyes. ❝ spoil sport, ❞

⛰︎

━━━━ chasmpoppy blabbered on about nothing and everything all at the same time. it was just a blur of words to roarpaw, as he followed his mentor on their way back to camp from a quick border patrol.

chasmpoppy ignored the scent and sight of a feline from hemlockclan, and continued to walk and talk. but roarpaw halted and looked towards locusttree.

the cat was young, about roarpaw's age, maybe a bit younger. and they were begging to join peakclan.

the patrol catches up with chasmpoppy and returns to camp. the apprentice is introduced, but the clan doesn't seem too welcoming, perhaps due to the current relations with hemlockclan.

the apprentice gently wakes roarpaw, thanking him for his kindness, before slipping out of camp and vanishing into the night.

⛰︎

━━━━ coldbee took burnetpaw out to train, but they find a spot to sun themselves. coldbee decided to lay down and roll in the grass. she noticed how stiffly burnetpaw seemed, and began telling the tom a story about her time as a younger warrior in the clan.

coldbee drawls out the story, enhancing it and making it seem funny. slowly, she notices her 'paw softens and soon opens up.

━━━━ loachpath's ear is better, has healed nicely and hasn't scarred.

⛰︎

━━━━ basslight and daisyknoll are very proud to announce their new status as mates. the rest of the clan is rather smitten, and think they make a cute couple.

⛰︎

━━━━ it surprised the clan when squirreldusk and geckotooth announced that they have become mates, again.

⛰︎

━━━━ rattlefleck saved loachpath from a coyote while on a patrol. he was injured in the process, and now remains in the medicine den healing.

⛰︎

━━━━ hazelrise limped across camp. his leg had been feeling awfully rigid for a few days now, and it had a bothersome ache lingering within it.

basslight's brows furrowed. the medicine cat made her way over to the warrior, talking about some leg exercises to help strengthen the leg.

hazelrise appreciated it, greatly.  

⛰︎

━━━━ webwhistle's leg has finally healed, but has scarred. he'll be reminded of what happened, but to him his scar shows strength and courage: and so he feels powered by the mark upon his skin.

⛰︎

━━━━ browndash slipped on some rocks, and he twisted his paw. he put the blame on his disability. 

⛰︎

━━━━ having finally reached the end of her training, newly made medicine cat, heronwhisper, is a little unsure about whether she will succeed as a healer for the clan. there is still so much for her to learn...

but basslight reassured the younger feline, telling her that starclan will always be there to guide her.

hours after, heronwhisper overworked herself, and is riddled with a soreness across her body. a few days rest, and she'll be back to normal.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar is pleased with the progress of daisypaw, having watched them for some time now.

daisypaw is given their warrior name, daisypelt, and they're honoured for their maturity.

⛰︎

━━━━ having broke the code, whisperpaw was forced to be on tick duty for the elders. maybe next time, she won't eat before the rest of the clan.

⛰︎

━━━━ avalanchepaw is made a warrior, and sheis honoured for their consideration. the warrior name that gorgestar gives her is avalancheseed.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar pushed her muzzle on top of claypaw's head, naming him clayhowl. clayhowl is honoured for his passion.

⛰︎

━━━━ blackear's small cut is no longer bothering him.

⛰︎

━━━━ rowansmoke's claw wound has healed.

⛰︎

━━━━ rowansmoke rallied up a patrol, as asked by scrubstorm. he plucked a new warrior up form the crowd — to give them a taste of warriorhood.

avalancheseed followed closely after her patrol, and the scent of hemlockclan tickled her senses. their scent had strayed into their territory, and it raised a sense of suspicion between the two felines.

the patrol followed the scent to find a cat hiding at the top of a tree, wailing about a dog they spotted.

a large dog jumps out at the patrol, causing the cats to scatter.

avalancheseed was caught by the dogs snapping jaws but managed to escape, only suffering with a few bite marks from the canine.

relations with hemlockclan wave worsened.

⛰︎

━━━━ dovesoar set down a mouse and turned to the rest of his patrol. loachpath, mudhare, and his apprentice, amberpaw, followed close behind the white furred tom—cat.

they all held prey in their maw: evidence of a good hunt just moments ago.

the sound of pawsteps caused dovesoar's ears to turn and swivel.

a cat cautiously walked towards them, and lowered down to the ground upon noticing the felines' in front of it fluffed out their fur, and hissed.

❝ don't hurt me! ❞ pleaded the stranger. ❝ i wanted to ask if i could accompany you guys back to your home? ❞

confused, mudhare furrowed their brows at dovesoar and stepped closer. ❝ what's your name? ❞

the cat sat down and lapped her tail over her paws. it was obvious the she—cat no longer felt threatened by the larger, scarier cats nearby. ❝ jude, ❞ she purred in reply to the brown and white tom. ❝ but i do not wish to associate myself with such a name anymore. i want a fresh start, ❞ she added.

dovesoar nodded. ❝ well, jude. join us on our way to camp — and i'm sure peakclan will be hospitable and welcome you in, ❞

jude is welcomed into peakclan, and requested that they are given a name alike the rest. jude is named rustwatcher.

⛰︎

━━━━ rustwatcher travelled down to the valley for her first hunting patrol. the she—cat wasn't used to the terrain, territory, or hunting in general and sadly missed a mouse she stalked.

⛰︎

━━━━ dawn arrived and scrubstorm sauntered across camp. ❝ roarpaw, ❞ he called, travelling over to the apprentice den, ❝ locusttree too, ❞ he added while breezing past towards the entrance.

roarpaw hesitantly left the apprentice den. had he done something wrong?

scrubstorm waited at the camps a trance for the two to join him, then walked down towards the valley. he looked at the anxious 'paw and simply smiled. ❝ so, locusttree is hidden somewhere within the territory. he is posing as an enemy, and it's your job to handle the situation, ❞

locusttree could be anywhere. roarpaw wouldn't see him coming from a fox length away, no matter how bright and orange his pelt was. he was screwed.

sluggishly, roarpaw headed away from scrubstorm to venture off and find locusttree. time passed, and the sun was due to set, and roarpaw was on the verge of giving up...

the sight of locusttree's orange pelt caught his eye and he dropped low. the tom—cat was munching on the wing of a pigeon he'd caught. locusttree didn't scent nor see roarpaw — he had the upper—paw.

roarpaw goes forward. slowly, his paws danced along the grass below him as he creeped closer, and closer, and closer.

roarpaw pounced forwards. he travelled through the air quickly before landing on top of locusttree.

startled, locusttree yowled and swiped out his paws towards roarpaw, in an attempt to fight back the apprentice who straddled him.

locusttree eventually admitted defeat after a brief tussle. he was proud of roarpaw and guided him back to camp. roarpaw was gleeful, and boasted the whole entire walk back.

roarpaw would make a great warrior.

⛰︎

━━━━ daisypelt bounded ahead of chasmpoppy as the pair patrolled. it was dark, and they were on the way back to camp, when the muffled mewl of a feline caught their attention.

chasmpoppy pushed herself in front of daisypelt and closed the distance between the young warrior and a stranger that stepped out from the darkness.

❝ who goes there! ❞ yowled chasmpoppy.

❝ names grouse, ❞ the cat grumbled lowly, edging out into the light of the moon, to show themselves to the warriors. ❝ i offer up my paws. i can aid you and your clan, warrior, ❞

uneasy at the cats knowledge on them being in a clan, chasmpoppy turned to daisypelt, then back to the cat who introduced themselves.

❝ follow me. but no funny business, okay? ❞ snarled the ginger tabby she—cat, trailing off towards camp.

grouse joined peakclan, as a medicine cat. grouse spoke of her knowledge with herbs, claiming to have been her groups healer before they abandoned her.

grouse is named grouseshatter.

⛰︎

━━━━ a twig snapped, causing cragspark to turn and thrill out his pelt with fear. a bedraggled cat took a step out of a bramble bush. thorns tangled their fur and they looked saddened.

❝ holy starclan, are you okay? ❞ he exclaimed.

the cat nodded their head.

cragspark sniffed the air. the cat was young.

❝ quickly, come with me. i'll take you to my clan. i'm sure they'll let you join, kit, ❞ cragspark blurted out, and the cat followed.

riverpaw joined peakclan, and was given a mentor to train with until they're ready to be made a warrior. gorgestar knew almondstripe was a perfect choice for the new apprentices mentor.

━━━━ goldrain worked too hard with a training session, and bruised himself.

⛰︎

━━━━ loachpath was rumoured to have been seen touching noses with a loner.

⛰︎

━━━━ geckotooth and squirreldusk parted ways from one another. geckotooth hissed and spat at the feline, calling them every name under the sun.

⛰︎

━━━━ squirreldusk crawled back to geckotooth and the pair have become mates again.

the clan doesn't seem surprised, at all. some are a bit concerned for the pair.

⛰︎

━━━━ robinpetal is suffering from heat stroke after working too hard in the sun, and refusing to sit in the shade while patrolling.

robinpetal feels like an idiot for not listening.

⛰︎

━━━━ oriolelaurel's sprain has healed.

⛰︎

━━━━ gorgestar has been following the process of hazepaw, with the help of scrubstorm, and is feels the time is right. hazepaw is named hazeneedle, and is honoured for her grace.

⛰︎

━━━━ valleykit attempted to sneak out of camp again. the kitten wondered what the rest of the land was like, and was tired of seeing it from the top of the peaks.

after yet another stern telling off from gorgestar, he retreated to the nursery with a pout and a scowl set on his face. he hates how bossy she is.

⛰︎

━━━━ the air was crisp, tinged with the scent of trees and grass, as hawkbitflare ventured alone into the valley. the leaves swayed, playing a gentle song as he trailed across the territory in search of some herbs for the medicine den.

hawkbitflare paused before a small crevice nestled between two moss—covered rocks. within its depths, he could see a bundle of webs, some roots and a few sticks. he leaned in, his whiskers brushing against the coldness of the stone, as he reached for the herbs.

but fate, it seemed, had other plans.

a thunderous crack sounded and his paws gave way. a heavy force pressed down upon his body, and the tom wailed out. he cried out with pain as the weight upon his body grew with each passing second.

light slowly ceased and hawkbitflare finally realised what had happened. his eagerness to find and bring back herbs had only caused him pain. a splintering crack sounded as a rock collided with the others atop him, and hawkbitflare gasped for a breath.

he found himself trapped beneath the weight of the earth. in those fleeting moments, his mind shifted to his peers back at camp: the apprentices who would blossom into warriors, the warriors who would excel and develop families... and of course, the cats who he worked alongside.

with a silent prayer upon his lips, he surrendered to the pain, the darkness, and the embrace of the dirt below him.

hawkbitflare blinked. he was in an unfamiliar place, but a place that had a warmth to it. two felines made their way towards him, smiles gleaming.

❝ welcome to starclan, hawkbitflare ❞ splitmimic chirped, strolling beside leopardberry.

hawkbitflare looked down at his paws. they glittered with iridescent stars. his eyes softened as he looked back up at the she—cats before him.

❝ don't worry about them. they'll be okay, ❞ cooed leopardberry.

⛰︎

━━━━ rowansmoke and spiderfur wander upon a cat, who questioned if the two were a couple. the cat was confused when they mentioned peakclan, but insisted on joining regardless of how clueless they were.

condorcave is welcomed into peakclan.

⛰︎

━━━━ a larger sized patrol ventures out of the clan. they use the fact that there are three warriors to their advantage, and use the time wisely to train the apprentice with them.

burnetpaw wanders off while hunting, to find a cat. the cat looked weak, and injured.

❝ guys?! ❞ called the apprentice, prodding his paws into the felines side, watching as the cat veered and coughed while attempting to hiss.

coldbee, rustwatcher and butterflytuft approach the apprentice quickly, worried he had been injured. the smell of blood that carried in the wind scared them.

the patrol was shocked to find the injured cat, but carefully helped them back to camp.

thankful for their kindness, the cat joins peakclan.

frostclover joins the clan, but remains in the shelter of the medicine den to heal from their broken bone.

⛰︎

━━━━ while out training, riverpaw started an argument with almondstripe about the technique that they're working on. 

scoffing, the tom—cat ended the training there and riverpaw walked back to camp in silence. riverpaw was punished for the way he spoke to almondstripe, and was forced to clean the dirt—place for a few days.

almondstripe refused to teach riverpaw, until the less experienced feline returned to him with a good apology. he didn't appreciate the disrespectful tone from his 'paw.

⛰︎

━━━━ springpaw misplaced a paw while training with goldrain. embarrassed, she fled and ran back to camp.

goldrain bumbled into camp and found his 'paw in the apprentice den, sobbing into her paws about how she'll never be ready to be a warrior.

springpaw sniffled alone. she looked up to see her mentor staring over her, and her eyes widened. his ears were flattened, and his fur bristled.

that is weakness.

peakclan, and more importantly, goldrain, will not tolerate weakness.

springpaw pushed herself to her paws. she blew out a breath. pull yourself together, springpaw, and do not let goldrain see act in such a way again.

⛰︎

━━━━ while alone, loachpath's thoughts eat her up. am i heading in the right direction? am i doing a good job?

loachpath finds peace within her raving thoughts. she may be flawed, alike everyone else, but she is in fact happy with the path she's on.

⛰︎

━━━━ squirreldusk brushed her tail under the chin of geckotooth's. the two had managed to get out of camp, alone.

the she—cats decided to practice and train together, and squirreldusk is surprised with how fluidly they are moving together — like two steaks meeting, and intermingling with no conflict or effort.

together in this, together in life — together always.

⛰︎

━━━━ pinebone spotted a hemlockclan feline on their side of the border. the cat was young, and on their own — their mentor nowhere to be seen. they had even gone to the lengths of hunting on peakclan territory.

pinebone reminded the young cat about their actions and the warrior code, confiscating their prey before heading back to camp to relay the information to the deputy.

relations with hemlockclan have improved.

⛰︎

━━━━ mountainfall and grouseshatter patrol the valley to find herbs. the walk is silent and awkward to begin with, but mountainfall soon questioned the she—cat on what her life was like before.

grouseshatter explained the group she was in before she joined peakclan, and how different life was.

⛰︎

━━━━ heading out of camp, chasmpoppy thought on the dream she had the night before. was it sent by starclan?

chasmpoppy was distracted by her thoughts, and she didn't get a chance to hunt.

⛰︎

━━━━ hazelrise is ambushed while on a border patrol, alone. hazelrise turned tail and ran towards camp, knowing that if the rogues followed: those at camp would run to his aid.

warning the clan was more important than dying out in the wilderness alone.
