[occultation]

Shadowfur began marking the border rather quickly. He aimed to keep his markers strong and frequent, wanting to send a strong message to any RiverClan cat who even thought about setting a toe across the border. ShadowClan may be more peaceful than they were in previous seasons, but that didn’t mean they would tolerate enemies coming into their territory.

Once he had set four markers, he turned his head down to look at Ratpaw. The poor apprentice was badly scarred and was missing an eye; quite a lot for someone his age to bear. Shadowfur had to wonder what sort of incident gave him such horrific wounds. Perhaps a border skirmish gone wrong or a dog attack?

He motioned toward the next set of markers. “You can go ahead and set the next four markers, and then I’ll set the last few.” The border seemed quiet, although the tangy scent of RiverClan was intensely strong.
