[Empress Of Evil]

The tom gave the herbs to the ground, which gave her no sign of anything. Sighing, Auroraflame stepped forward to grasp the plant in her jaws but Smogcloud beat her to it. "Thanks," she said, flashing the warrior a small smile before turning her gaze to rest it on Shinefang. The medicine cat seemed to be wandering around and sniffing at the bushes nearby. She didn't move from where she stood, following after him with her eyes instead and at the same time, trying to listen for any enemies approaching.

She briefly glanced at Kestrelshade as she spoke up before looking back at the tom and processing the question in her mind. "I've sent a good amount of patrols along the border to keep out for signs of anything. Nothing peculiar has been spotted though we do need to be careful for stray syndicate cats who've dared to come back," she replied. She wished that she could give a more certain response, one that would reassure them that nothing would attack them, but she didn't know for sure. Auroraflame herself had walked along the border many times before, searching through the territory as best she could from where she stood. She'd seen nothing but that didn't mean she was completely sure that nothing was left. In fact, this patrol was more of an opportunity for her to check for hostile cats, rather than just collecting herbs.

"We should follow Shinefang before something jumps out at him," she said, and after beckoning to the other two cats, she scurried after the medicine cat, eyes and ears alert for any signs of danger. The territory was dark and the sun was seemingly dimmer here. It sent shivers running down her spine and she kept close to the others. There was safety in numbers after all and running through unexplored territory made her nervous.
