The idea of the patrol was to head north along the ShadowClan border until they reached a point where either ShadowClan stopped marking or hit some sort of natural border. If they could get just a foxlength of more territory to hunt on this greenleaf, they could start sustaining their growing numbers and Owlbark wouldn't have to worry more grey fur from stress. The cats he told to come along trailed behind him through the brush. They moved easily within the undergrowth of the forest and if he didn't know to listen for them, they moved almost silently. He had started to feel a drop of pride grow in his chest these past couple moons for the clan they were becoming. They hunted efficiently, lived (almost) without conflict, and the apprentices were growing strongly under supervision. Juniperstar had also grown in these past moons, for better and for worse. He trusted her and she trusted his guidance. It was starting to become easy to be a Stormguard.
Vegetation thinned and began opening to a sea of slowly greening grass. By greenleaf this entire plain would be a verdant sea teeming with mice and other small rodents to nap. Owlbark opened his mouth to taste for any ShadowClan markings, and paused at an entirely new set of scents. The tom raised his tail as a signal for his patrol to stop, and slowly crept forward into the grassland that stretched before him. Either ShadowClan had added new cats to their ranks, or...
The grass rustled a few mouselengths away and Owlbark broke his crouch, arching his back and hissing, "Stop! You are trespassing on clan-owned land. Come out and show yourself." The tom's paws itched to show strange cats that ThunderClan meant to establish themselves as a fighting force. He thought back to his conversation with Thunderflash, and his claws sunk into the ground with determination to make good on that agreement.
