Merrystalk had put off this patrol, he and everyone elses minds had been too busy buzzing with what's and if's and maybe's. And now, it was just a certainty. A bitter one at that. One none of them wanted to grapple with, but nonetheless Wheatwhistle. Heartbroken was an understatement, no grandfather should hear of his granddaughters death at the hand of the cats across the gorge.
But that was their reality.
It was a passing thought, but Merry knew of kin of Dusty's lived across the thunderpath. Leader of their one and only ally in this place. It was no grand offer, but a quiet olive branch to a tom he had always respected to bring the news to their neighbours before it reached their ears on rumours. He had to face the border regardless, so allowing Wheatwhistle that ounce of closure to mourn with those who held Dustystar closer than leader alone.
Night was heavy, bitter. Most knew the king of the pocosin roamed in the eve, so their chance to find him was far more likely beneath the moonlight. The moors cast a luminous glow from the nearly full moon, cast against the snowfall on the ground made Windclan almost glow. He could not speak for his patrolmates, but it felt as if Starclan themselves watched over the small group of cats. A small honor in the time of grieving.
As the cats approached the Thunderpath, as bitter and acrid as ever, there was movement across the way. Merrystalk glanced to his patrolmates and raised his voice. "Cat's 'f the pocosin, we seek counsel with Sablestar. It is a matter've urgance." He wouldn't let his voice waiver nor weaken, he was to remain strong. For his clanmates, for his friends, least of all for when the news is broken.
Tagging: @Eggsplat @Sweetnose @wheatwhistle @SABLESTAR (NOTE: I'm purposefully omitting apprentices in this case cause a) super late patrol in the month and b) this is meant to be faster pased to bring the news to Sable and Shadowclan)
Can be any shadowclan cat who replies but please go fetch Sablestar if you post before Poe!!
