Ash Wood
This is a peculiar part of the Forest, a large section of mostly ash trees. It neighbors the Aspen and Hawthorn Wood, and is directly across the Maple Wood. The second largest part of the four Woods of the Forest. Prey here mainly consists of mountain hares and squirrels, along with birds of all sorts. This is also on the border of HawkClan.

Brookstar walked along the border of HawkClan, and suddenly scented them. She raised her tail to stop everyone. "I scent HawkClan."
ReplyDeleteChillingheart with Blackash and Moonstar twitched his ears in the direction of the FalconClan cats. "I scent FalconClan."
Moonstar raised her head, sniffing the air slightly. "FalconClan," she warned the cats behind her, but her eyes narrowed as she smelled someone else. "This scent...."
ReplyDeleteBrookstar finally came face to face with Moonstar. Her face broke out in a smile. "Moonstar." The two leaders touched noses in greeting. "I have someone you may know well here, friend," Brookstar said, motioning Sunshadow to come up beside her.
ReplyDeleteSunshadow slowly padded up, eyes downcast at the forest floor. (ROFL I TYPED OCEAN FLOOR JUST NOW). Slowly, he looked up at the leader, eyes full of an undecipherable emotion. Moonstar's eyes widened as she saw the other cat. "S-Sunshadow..." she said softly, stepping forward. "It's been so long...."
ReplyDelete(prophecy? .-.)
(lol)
ReplyDelete(yeah... :D)
Brookstar didn't mention that Moonstar was crossing the border and just watched the pair, something strange lingering in her mind. What was it? Suddenly, she remembered the dream she had last night. It was a prophecy.
Sunshadow closed his eyes. "Never thought I'd see you again," he said. "It's been years already...I haven't seen you since we left DarkClan and battled those foxes..."
ReplyDeleteBrookstar laid her tail on Moonstar's shoulder. "Moonstar. Sorry to interrupt, but... we've got to talk. It's about..." she gave the other a leader that said "a prophecy!"
ReplyDeleteMoonstar's eyes widened as she realized what her fellow leader meant. "My most sincere apologies," she said to the patrol from her clan and Sunshadow. "But Brookstar and I need to discuss something very urgent right now..."
ReplyDeleteTalonstrike bowed his head and so did Chillingheart. "We'll stay here," the large ginger tom said, and turned to Blackash. "So how's the prey running?" He asked the HawkClan cat, his tone light.
ReplyDeleteBrookstar lead the other leader far away, out of the other cats' hearing range. "I had a dream last night, and it had something to do with our two clans. In my dream there was a hawk and a falcon flying high in the clouds, and suddenly the clouds began to bleed, and the two birds drowned in the blood of the sky. I have no idea what it means but I know that our clans are in this together."
Blackash shrugged. "Pretty good," he said. "How about you? Is your clan doing well?"
ReplyDeleteMoonstar nodded, her gaze tense. "Bleeding clouds...." she said. "Should we send out our medicine cats to look for a sign together? We could start with that...."
Talonstrike shrugged. "It's doing well enough, I guess. Prey is a surplus, and our warriors are strong."
ReplyDeleteBrookstar winced. "See, that's the problem. I don't have a medicine cat at the moment... Violetgaze retired, and Pinepaw decided that being a medicine cat was not for him, and Bluefur hasn't gotten the message from DreamClan yet."
Blackash nodded, then sighed. "I had no idea our leader had a brother," he said. "We really don't know anything about her past..."
ReplyDelete(dude. she commented on the leaders den.)
Moonstar died. (just some filler blech.)
(i know.
ReplyDeleteshe needs a knew name.)
Talonstrike nodded his agreement, and Chillingheart looked at Sunshadow. "How did you get so separated from your sister?" He asked him.
(for that comment, where Brookstar winced, I almost said:
ReplyDeleteBrookstar winced. "Wee, that's the problem" LOL)
Sunshadow narrowed his eyes. "We had just escaped from an evil clan, DarkClan," he said. "And it was raining really hard; we could hardly see, and there was lighting everywhere. We just kept on running, hoping we could come to a safe place, and then we came across a fox den...."
ReplyDeleteChillingheart frowned. "So you guys were separated in the attack?" He asked, sympathetically.
ReplyDelete(um...moonstar?)
Moonstar narrowed her eyes. "That'll be hard, then," she said. "But I'm sure StarClan will give us some kind of a sign...."
ReplyDeleteSunshadow nodded darkly. "I never saw her after that," he said. "Well, until just now. I thought she was dead..."
Brookstar sighed, and nodded. "Perhaps we will. Should we discuss this at the Gathering, then? If we can get some private time."
ReplyDeleteChillingheart nodded. "I'm not surprised. I would do the same. So how's FalconClan? Do you want to join HawkClan?"
Talonstrike bit back a growl but said nothing.
Moonstar nodded and looked up. "So...see you then?" she said, not wanting to part with her friend just yet.
ReplyDeleteSunshadow looked at the ground and kneaded his paws together. "I-I don't know," he said. "I mean, I'd love to be with my sister again, but...I honestly think I belong here in FalconClan..."
Brookstar shrugged. "Unless you want to have a joint hunting patrol or something, and we could split the prey."
ReplyDeleteChillingheart nodded. "I understand. We could use you, though." He stopped at a glare from Talonstrike. "And he'd strengthen the relationship," he whispered to Blackash.
Moonstar shrugged. "That wouldn't be bad," she remarked. "After all, we haven't been out hunting yet today..."
ReplyDeleteBlackash shrugged. "Maybe," he said. "But we really can't say that just now..."
Brookstar smiled. "Okay then. Let's go tell the others." They made their way back to the group. "We're going to have a joint hunting patrol. We'll all have one piece of prey each and we'll take them back to our respective clans." Talonstrike nodded in agreement. "Alright."
ReplyDeleteChillingheart shrugged. "Sure."
Moonstar looked at her cats. "Are you ready?" she asked. "Sure!" Blackash cried, purring. Sunshadow looked over at his sister. She's so happy....
ReplyDeleteBrookstar didn't say anything, but with a sweep of her tail the FalconClan cats followed them off into the forest.
ReplyDeleteMoonstar looked over at her companions, then looked ahead. Her ears twitched as she scented the fresh scent of prey.
ReplyDeleteBrookstar flicked her ears towards the direction of a magpie. "Mine," she hissed quietly, and padded silently towards it.
ReplyDeleteMoonstar sighed, just as she scented another creature. "Rabbit..." she muttered, creeping into the undergrowth.
