WindClan: Life Before 2023's Fire

[plum]

Oh, the Thunderglade. Nettlespark tries to put together the pieces in his head. That was WindClan's border with ThunderClan.
"Uhhuh. Oookay." They'd been talking about this Fourtrees for a while, however. Maybe it was a cluster of trees over there, or something of that nature. The warrior would let that rest, and inquire about it to Deadpool later on. Probably.
"Nettlespark. Aaannd... Yours?"

She followed Rabbitrunner from the den, shaking out her pelt as the cold night air settled around her.

"Alright, the usual trail it is? So off to the Adder Rocks!" she slipped past Rabbitrunner, chuckling as she headed for the camp entrance.

The Adder rocks were a favorite for Swiftfire, and it was the ultimate test of speed and wit to weave among the many adder-ridden rocks and crevices. A straight shot through the heart of the Adder Rocks, and then off to the WindClan Graveyard to mark the end of their run. "You comin', slow-poke?" Swiftfire called over her shoulder to Rabbitrunner, "Race doesn't start til we get to the starting line," She laughed and vanished beyond the camp's entrance.

//they can leave via the entrance here, and I can post the start of the race in the Adder Rocks <3

A soft laugh left the athletic she-cat’s throat, followed by a small purr as Swiftfire got ahead of her. She wasn’t too far behind, her spindly legs were great in taking long strides that kept up with her clanmate, and Rabbitrunner could only laugh once again when the calico called her a ‘slowpoke’.

“If I remember correctly, I won last time, too!” Calling back as the she-cat taunted her, the night breeze entangled itself in the WindClan warrior’s brown splashed pelt, and it felt nice to have such a wind back in her fur again. “And I know!” Rolling her eyes playfully, the fae trotted after her companion, her wild and adventurous spirit bucking alive as she disappeared into the entrance like her rival.

Seasons ago..

“Rabbitpaw, come on,” Wisteriahowl coached, furrowing their brows with slight frustration. “We can’t leave until you can show me you can at least defend yourself in a fight. Ready yourself again.”

“I just don’t get it,” Rabbitpaw flattened her ears and looked to the sandy floor. “Why can’t we just move on to the fast paced hunting? This seems boring,” She glanced up as her white paws shuffled the dirt beneath her. “Can we hunt with Swiftpaw and her mentor again?”

“I know this looks boring,” the lilac warrior sighed, lowering their head and rising from an offensive position, padding over to their apprentice and sitting beside them. “But this is something you have to learn.. Lessons aren’t always going to be fun-filled adventures like the hunting training you get with your friend. We have to get through the boring stuff to get to the fun stuff.” As they explained, the brown molly seemed to internally groan with dread.

“Tell you what,” the mentor smiled. “If we get through our lesson in defense today, tomorrow we’ll see if Swiftpaw can come hunt with us, okay?”

“Sounds good to me!” Rabbitpaw chirped.

“Alright, ready yourself then. I won’t go easy on you.”

“Bring it on, old man.”

"Crowspeck," the dark gray and black-speckled tom answered, sitting down. "And this is Halfmask. Pleasure to meet you. I have to seen you often before, though..."

Halfmask watched the exchange in silence, eyes revealing nothing.

He was beginning to realize he'd interrupted something, and these two were going to sit here with him instead of go about their plans. In an effort to backtrack, the tom formulates up a response.
"I've been here for a while now," he mumbles towards Crowspeck. Not that he knew any names yet, but they should have recognized each other's faces. Well, that spoke to his own faults as well.
"Don't let me keep you two here. I just wanted to ask what that place you'd been talking about was. By all means, take your leave. I was planning on going out soon myself, anyways, and..." Well, if he ruined their plans, he'd have to accept that.

Echopaw’s ears flicked down. “I wasn’t trying to kill it.” She said, trying to explain. “I was just trying to avoid it, and when I tried to get out of the way, I accidentally fell on it’s back. I figured if I didn’t kill it then, it’d kill me.” She said, miserably. Her first time with her mentor, and she was already in trouble.

"Oh, no, please." Halfmask yawned. "Please, keep talking. We're ever so interested. Right, Crowspeck?" They stretched, looking up as the sky began to darken.

Dawnfeather looked up and glanced at the other warrior strangely. "No . . . "

Crowspeck shrugged again, tilting his head curiously. "Well, it's getting dark, so it's be dangerous to head out now. But I wouldn't be bothered with talking get out with some cats. So long as the kits stay asleep, that is."

Halfmask sighed, ignoring Crowspeck's attempt at humor. "I suppose you're right."
