[stormcrow]

during a hunting patrol, SkyClan is attacked by a hawk– luckily, they have scouts with them that point it out before it can get the jump on them. they'll have to work together to take down this prey, but anyone who helps will get 3 points.
the hawk currently has 75 hp.

The body of the patrol is on the ground, weaving through the scarce undergrowth, their pawsteps silent. Stormcrow watches them from above, leaping from branch to branch. Observes the mingling of fur, still smooth and healthy after a bountiful green leaf. In a few moons, they will remember these times as warm memories, distant, fleeting. But today, they are strong, they are many. Hawkstar's loyal knights riding out to bring back enough prey for a proper feast, worthy of their king.

As the trees thin, Stormcrow focuses on the sky above them, ears flicking in the breeze. It was her duty as scout to keep an eye out so the others could hunt in peace. She freezes in place, hair on her neck standing up at the familiar sound of flapping wings approaching overhead.

"Hawk!" Stormcrow shouts, raising the alarm. "Eyes up! We'll make it regret coming to our territory. Skyclan rules its own skies."

BRIGHTNOSE | SUN GUARD
"ALWAYS CONFUSING THE THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD"

.

Brightnose moves swiftly amongst the hunting patrol, already imagining what they'll bring back with a swipe of her tongue over her jowls. Her mismatched ears are perked, swiveling at every sound, and her lips part slightly to drink in the nearby scents in hopes that one of them is prey. Truly, she is immersed in the act of hunting, feeling the most herself when she stalks alongside her Clanmates through the territory. Her head snaps upward, however, when she catches the sound of wings flapping in the wind; she sees it at the same moment that Stormcrow cries in warning from her perch in the trees.

"Get ready!" she yowls, lowering her body in a tensed crouch as her claws unsheathe in preparation to swipe at the winged beast. The moment it swoops downward, its talons extended in unabashed fury - that's when Brightnose dashes to the side and leaps upward, her forepaws slashing at the closest part of it she can lay them on. Her claws connect with its leg for a moment, slashing through its feathered skin, and the hawk screeches with pain as it reels back for a moment. It's not the best of hits, but it's something, and Brightnose isn't alone. With enough teamwork, they can make this hawk surrender... or even bring it home to feast on. The thought of that makes Brightnose feel a hopeful sense of pride.

𓆦 𖢥 𓆨 𓆣 𐀔 Chrysalisgaze 𐀔 𓆣 𓆨 𖢥 𓆦

Chrysalisgaze felt most at ease up in the trees, watching the territory from up above, aware of everything around her. That's why she was among the first to spot the hawk, but she stayed silent. Stormcrow and Brightnose have spotted it as well, she felt no need to give up her position to the hawk. Instead she silently crept to the lower branches, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
The scout watched as Brightnose attacked first, making the hawk reel back up, too high for anyone on the ground to reach it. But Chrysalisgaze wasn't on the ground - she was up in the branches, unseen by the hawk. She readjusted her legs slightly, positioning herself before pouncing.
She hadn't hunted in a while, because of her injury, her body bound to the healer's den for days on end and then bound to camp as she recovered. She had forgotten just how thrilling hunting was, how much she loved being out in the forest, leaping from branch to branch. Now, as her body moved through the air, she felt that thrill again, felt her heart thudding in her chest in excitement. Her body connected with the hawk mid-air, taking it down with her as she slammed to the ground.
The hawk wasn't finished yet, not in the slightest, but it sure was rattled. It thrashed beneath her claws, beak aiming for her paws, and she let go - for now. The hawk stretched its wings in an instant and flew back up, angry, its eyes staring daggers at Chrysalisgaze and her clanmates. A single feather remained stuck in her claws and she tauntingly tucked it in her fur, glaring back at the bird. Two could play this game.
