WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[Fawnhearted]

Lynxstep had returned to the nursery from the gathering and was lazily licking Daisykits fur. Since her other children had become apprentices this was her only kit right now, unless of course any other kit needed a mother or a friend. @Sparkling Flower

Dawnpaw would flick her tail in acknowledgement, Dawnpaw would leap onto the rabbit, struggling but managing to grab its neck, killing it. She would pick it up, shaking her head around to shake off the rabbit fur. @RainbowQuail

He quickened his pace to stand beside Coyotepaw. "Alright, slow down, pause for a moment." They had started to wander, and it was less him showing her the territory, then him padding after her aimlessly. "So this is the territory, it's also called the moor. We catch a lot of rabbits here, some big birds, but you have to be careful out here. There are some even bigger birds that can pick up a cat like you." His voice was serious for a moment, hoping she understood the gravity of birds like eagles.

"Big birds? Where!?" Coyotepaw spun in a fast circle, looking every direction except towards the sky. "I'll catch them and bring one home for mama! She'll be happy!" She bounced with excitement. Did he call it the more? That must have been right. "Is it called the more because there's so much more space?" She laughed at her own joke, perhaps for a little too long. This is taking forever! I wanna see more of the more of the more of the more!!

Twilightstar cocked her head as she listen to all the replies. Smokeflight sounded like she wanted to help with herding, but then added that she was worried about getting stepped on....maybe keep her with the hunting less chance to get trampled. Marshstep, it was unclear whether she was bragging or simply making a statement. She seemed to be trying to play the leader role, which was unwise with her right here and failing considering she was merely stating the obvious. Redraven's reply was quick and straight to the point, thankfully. She could stay and hunt. Monarchwing as well, she could stay in the herding group. Wishpool wanted to hunt and Fallenghost was willing to do whatever with Mushy hunting as well. Snips was doing what he did best, being Snippy and that wasn't really helping Twilightstar right now.
It seemed like she had more wanting to help with the hunting over herding, which made sense to her, no one wanted to get trampled. But, unfortunately, Twilightstar needed more than just Marshstep and although Smokeflight would do Twilightstar was worried about her getting worried bout getting stepped on so she was staying and hunting.
"Marshstep, Fallenghost, and Monarchwing. You three can help me with the herding, you follow my orders. This won't be about speed alone, I don't particularly care how fast you are, this will be a team effort you need to be able to work together if we're going to get this done right." She told the three before looking at the other four.
"Rushingmoor, Wishpool, Redraven, and Smokeflight, you four will do the hunting. Redraven you're charge, Rushingmoor back her up if she needs it. Snippy, stay with the hunting party as best you can, I'll yowl if I need you." She meowed, purposely using her favorite nickname for the medicine cat out of love for his little comment.
"Redraven, keep your patrol close but in the rear, watch their hooves." She reminds to be on the safe side.
"Marshstep and Monarchwing, circle around the flock without being seen, stay hidden until I give a yowl, and start moving the flock towards the river. One in front one back, we'll box them in. Fallenghost, you'll be on my side with me, stay some tail lengths behind me, I need you to keep watch in the back make sure none stray. Make yourselves as sound as big and intimidating as you can, sheep are prey they'll run before they decide to fight, although Smokeflight worries are valid, keep some distances from their hooves you don't want to get trampled." She told her patrol.
"Marshstep and Monarchwing, get yourself into position and let me know you're ready with a tail signal." She stuck her own tail straight and gave it a wave to show them what she was looking for.
"Redraven, when your patrol has some idea how to take down the lamb, let me know with the same signal and we'll get it started."

~Fallenghost~

Fallenghost walked near Twilightstar at her words. The plan seemed better than what she would ever come up with. Agreeing to the plan, Fallenghost was interested in how the curly cloud animal hunting would go.

~Songkit~

“Hello Patchkit, I am Songkit with my siblings Sparrowkit and Beetail. Do you all wish to hear me recite the rules of soccer moss ball or shall we play?” Songkit offered as he tucked the ball tighter.

Darts, check. Butting, check. Face punches? To be determined. They still had rolls and pins to go, and a few more rounds of the previous ones.

Eaglepaw stumbled as Littlewish landed a blow at his face and quickly gained his balance a again. He charged at the tom, aiming to ram into his shoulder.

Eaglepaw found Runningpaw bleeding to death slowly. "Runningpaw ... What happened?" He asked, his copper gaze full of shock. He turned to Littlewish, his eyes starting to flood with grief. "What happened?" he repeated. His first friend was dying right in front of him. He looked back at the apprentice, his eyes dull.

Sparrowkit felt a burst of pride when Twistedpaw agreed that she had done it correctly. It wasn't every day when she got the approval of an apprentice. And Twistedpaw was so cool! She deserved a nickname. How about... Twisty? Yeah, that was good. Sparrowkit crept up on the leaf. Her movements were clumsy, unfluid. Keeping her balance was difficult for the little kit, and halfway through, she completely forgot about keeping her steps light. Half a tail-length from the leaf, Sparrowkit turned to Twistedpaw. "How did I do?" she chirped excitedly. "Oh, and can I call you 'Twisty'?"

The tom gave the other Apprentice a big smile. "Gosh you found those so quick. You're amazing." he hummed as he picked himself up with a grunt. He began to follow after Shockpaw, but quickly stopped and shuffled back to pick up his leaf full of Marigold and Poppies. "Don't forget that, very important. Kinda the only reason why we're out here." he scolded himself.

"Now time to hunt for Coyotesnarl!" Honeypaw chirped. So he backtracked, waddling back the way they came. "Shockpaw found the flowers!" he yelled as loudly as he could once the Medicine Cat came into sight. Which, in all honesty, wasn't too terribly loud since the fluffy feline was wheezing. Still wasn't the best when it came to going up hills.
