Camp SkyClan NEW DAWN FADES // patrols!

[stormcrow]

♱ Stormcrow rolls her shoulders and steps out in front of the place where Hawkstar would usually address the clan; she could do this from there, she supposes, but… it wouldn't feel right. It would be sacrilegious for anyone but her king to sit in that place. So she settles at the foot of the perch, and calls out in a loud and clear voice;

"Skyclan, to me. It is time for some patrols…" she waits, her head held high, clearly not uncomfortable with her new position as Sun Guard. Quite the opposite.

She scans the cats in front of her, then, "firstly, I am sure you've by now heard that Shadowclan has been causing trouble on multiple fronts… I want us to have a strong presence on our border that aligns with the four trees. I will lead a patrol in that direction myself, and I'll take Maiseyleg, Carrionsight, Sweetpaw and Stonepaw. Should any of you run into them on your own time, be courteous, but nothing more. Let it be known Skyclan does not suffer fools who dare test our borders."

"Second, to patrol along the river… Fujimoto will be leading that patrol. Teaselfeather, Rosebelly, and Downypaw, you will join him." A strange gathering of cats to be sure, but after recent events, the Riverclan border is not something Stormcrow is too concerned about. They'd been attacked, weakened. Not that they seemed to have been very strong in the first place. Still, there were other places that needed their attention more. "Swallowpaw needs to stock up on herbs, and I want a few of you to join her… Sagesong, and Swirlpaw, please accompany her. Lastly… a patrol to go past lightning's grasp, to make sure no stragglers from clans other than Shadowclan have strayed too far. Daisydream, please take Mousefang, Cygnetscratch, and Creampaw, with you that way. Very well. You're all free to go."

She glances in the direction of the warriors she'd chosen to take with her, nodding her head towards the exit to the camp as an invitation to follow.

[SWALLOWBREEZE]

swallowpaw pokes her head out of the medicine den, padding over when patrols are called. her paws lazily scuffle in the dirt, tuning out stormcrow's warnings of shadowclan. she didn't want to be reminded that another clan would just... invade like that, score their claws down a medicine cat's face just for herbs. by now she's sure frostmoth bringing that up so nonchalantly was a warning. this must be why rowanpaw told her to stay home.

"hmm?" she looks up, ears swiveling at her name being called. "oh! oh, yes, we can go when you're ready." her eyes look around the camp, searching for both cats. sagesong and swirlpaw... the likes the company of the tortie, and milkheart's bunch still seem excited about being apprentices.

[Stonepaw]

Tufted ears flicked at the sound of her name, tail giving the slightest twitch. She sat diligently, looking up at her mentor, finding no hint of hesitation. After all they heard about the shadow cats, she was plagued with curiosity. Would they attack them as they had RiverClan?

Stonepaw was confident they would not find such easy targets in SkyClan. Not with cats like Stormcrow ready to face down their cowardice.

She was ready to go when Stormcrow beckoned. The point stands, tufted tail wagging as she disperses toward the exit.

[cygnetscratch]

Cygnetscratch, ever dutiful, is there as soon as Stormcrow calls for attention. The newest Sun Guard announces the patrols in place of a deputy, dividing cats into groups and sending them to the farthest reaches of their territory. She is designated to Daisydream's patrol, with Mousefang and Creampaw. It sounds like they'll be heading towards ThunderClan... a softer group than the others they've met thus far (although RiverClan wasn't rude, they certainly were gruff.) Cygnetscratch can't help but wonder if it's a mirage of sorts, and the ThunderClanners are actually just as bad as those across the thunderpath.

"I'm ready whenever you are," she murmurs to the patrol lead, tail twitching behind her.

 

[Daisydream]

​

The newest addition to Skyclan's higher ranks called out and their pull easily lured Daisydream away from his idle chatter. Large tail whipping up behind him as he galloped. Eventually, his blue gaze spotted a cozy place near the front and he padded over them plopped down. Ears listening intently while Stormcrow passed around patrols.

His cherubic face lit up when called on and he nodded in silent understanding. Concealing the eagerness within him at the chance to explore. This would also be a fine opportunity to practice scent marking with Creampaw. "Sounds like a plan." He hadn't explored that territory much himself but was confident in his own memory to guide them through.

Once they were dismissed his eyes scanned for his patrol companions. "Creampaw!" He called out to his apprentice a part of the tom assured the youth was sitting in the crowd already.

First to catch his attention was Cygnetscratch sitting nearby. The wily coated tabby smiled warmly and walked over. Listening to her meow and in turn his whiskers twitch with agreement. "Let's grab something to eat first then head out. Sound good?" It wasn't the worst trek to take but it was certainly a trip to any part of the borders. He wanted to make sure they were all at their best. That way if any stragglers popped up or Thunderclan decided not to play civil they would be more than ready for it.

[Creampaw.]

CREAMPAW // 7 Moons // Skyclan Apprentice // She/They // #f1b8be
A very short but incredibly fluffy furred cream shaded she-cat with floppy ears and deep blue eyes.
Daughter of MILKHEART and DUCHESS, sister to CHESTNUTPAW and SWIRLPAW
Mentored by DAISYDREAM
Often soft-spoken and a little on the shy side. Frightens easily!

---

The new Sun Guard, Stormcrow seemed to fit her new position just as well as her whiskers fit her muzzle! She was swift with organizing patrols and Creampaw seemed a little startled when she heard her own name be mentioned to go on one, Swirlpaw too! Though the sisters were on different patrols... Creampaw looked enviously to Swirlpaw for a brief moment, a herb patrol sounded more her speed. Oh well though perhaps another time? Hopefully Swirlpaw found it fun too!

Her floppy ears would perk hearing her mentor call out to her, the cream coloured apprentice was quick to hurry off to Daisydream now that the meeting was dismissed coming up to his side as he was explaining that they would eat first and then head out together as a group. Creampaw would nod shyly in understanding of the plan while sticking closer to Daisydream, all these cats almost seemed new to her again now that she was an apprentice and got to see them outside of just the nursery and camp walls. She had never been out to where their patrol was being sent yet too!

Creampaw tried to keep her nervousness down long enough in order to get some freshkill into her tummy, they needed to eat before the patrol! She tried to just focus on that right now, she could stress over the rest once the patrol was actually out and about.
