Forever a Warrior discussion

((StrikeClan cats roleplay here. They occupy in RiverClan territory from the Gorge to Fourtrees. And a small chunk of WindClan territory.))

((And a small chunk of WindClan territory, right?))

Wolftail led Honeyleaf and Leafkit towards the direction of camp. On the way, he stopped to collect sticks and brambles for the camp's outerwall, to help protect it from intruders.

Honeyleaf halted behind him, mimicking her mate. "You might as well collect some too, Leafkit," she offered, stooping up several sharp and long sticks.

Leafkit nodded and picked up a small bramble, though it was large in her eyes.

((Yep.))

Swiftstrike continued to make the temporary nests under the willow tree.

Wolftail waited for the other two cats to finish collecting usful items, then continued leading the in the direction of the clearing with the rock pile. "Here it is," he announced proudly, dropping his bundle of twigs and brambles. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Swiftstrike working on the nests on the far side. He spun around to face the other two StrikeClan cats. "Honeyleaf, you help Swiftstrike with the nests under the willow tree. Leafkit, do you think you're able to help build our camp?"

Foxflight entered the strange scented territory, the rabbit in her jaws. She saw cats that looked like they were setting up dens...

A new scent wafted across Wolftail's nose, and he immediatly recognized WindClan. Whirling around, he bared his teeth. "What are you doing on StrikeClan territory?"

Honeyleaf looked up to see who the intruder was from the other side of camp, and her eyes lit up with recognition. Foxflight!

Badgerstorm crouched down, his eyes on a squirrel, but a wind sprang up and carried his scent toward it. The squirrel took off down the gorge, and he chased after it, frustrated. Suddenly he smelt a strange, strong mix of WindClan and RiverClan. He heard voices nearby and forgot about the squirrel. "Hello?" he called.

Swiftstrike looked up, he searched her, looking at her posture and everything. She was going to be a hard kitty to get off their backs.

Foxflight dropped the rabbit. "More like what are you- Wait. StrikeClan territory? I thought this was RiverClan territory."

"This is no longer RiverClan territory anymore. You're standing on part of StrikeClan territory," Wolftail growled. "What brings you here?"

Honeyleaf edged away from the conversation until she was a few tree-lengths away from camp. Suddenly, she backed into something and let out an 'oof'. "Hey, who are-" she turned to see Badgerstorm. A RiverClan warrior. "Oh..."

Leafkit padded after Honeyleaf, scared of the warriors. She didn't want to be in the middle of a battle.

"Get off our territory," Honeyleaf tried to sound menacing, but failed. She didn't know the warrior well, but knew very that well this was the part of StrikeClan territory that overlapped RiverClan's. "This is no longer RiverClan territory. It's StrikeClan territory."

Leafkit peered at the warrior from between Honeyleaf's legs. "Hey... Aren't you Badgerstorm?" she mewed.

Lionfur looked at Badgerstorm.

Honeyleaf recognized Badgerstorm, but she didn't move.

Lionfur looked at Honeyleaf.

Badgerstorm stared at Honeyleaf. "Your territory? Aren't you a WindClan cat? This is RiverClan territory. And what in StarClan's name is StrikeClan?" Then he noticed Leafkit. "Yes, I'm Badgerstorm," he said with a smile. "What are you doing out of camp, Leafkit? Did the WindClan cat take you?"

Lionfur bared her teeth."I took her here,"she growled.

Badgerstorm bristled. "Why? Kits aren't supposed to be out of camp! What are you all doing here anyway?"

"This is Strikeclan and Leafkit followed us,"she snarled.

Badgerstorm sighed. "I'm getting very impatient. What is StrikeClan?"

"The new Clan in this forest,"Lionfur explained."We all came by free will.We all got tried of Dovestar's orders."

"New Clan?" Badgerstorm asked slowly. "So - you're breaking away from Dovestar?" He couldn't help but be a little interested.

"Yeah,"she mewed and then licked her paw,but still keeping her eyes locked on him.

Badgerstorm frowned. "How many cats are in StrikeClan? Whose idea was it?"

"Five and that's classified no cat outside of Strikeclan can know,"she mewed.

Badgerstorm's frown deepened. "Well... could I talk to StrikeClan's leader?" he asked.

Lionfur rolled her eyes."I suppose you could,"she mewed.

"Thanks," Badgerstorm said curtly. "Would you escort me to your camp? I assume you have a camp, at least."

Lionfur nodded and lead him toward the camp that was in progress of being built.She stopped and smiled at him at the entrance.

Badgerstorm returned her smile uncertainly. Do I really want to do this? he asked himself. Then he squared his shoulders. Yes. It will be better this way.

Lionfur sat down and licked her shoulder.

Badgerstorm stopped in the entrance, waiting to be told where to go and who the leader was.

Wolftail pricked his ears, leaving Foxflight to Swiftstrike. He padded over to the RiverClan warrior who he knew was called Badgerstorm. "Why is he here?" Wolftail glanced at Lionfur before fixing his narrowed gaze on the RiverClan warrior.

"He wanted to see Swiftstrike,"She mewed.

Badgerstorm's fur stood on end at Wolftail's hostility. "Swiftstrike?" he asked in disbelief. "Swiftstrike is StrikeClan's leader? Well, it explains the name." And actually, from what he knew of Swiftstrike, it made some sense that he would have broken away.

Leafkit frowned and looked up at Honeyleaf.

Lionfur looked at him.

Rainflight cautiously approached the border, sniffing at the unfamiliar mix of scents. "Hello?" he called, trying to make his voice carry into the territory, but not too far to be heard by a RiverClan patrol.

Leafkit peered at the warrior. He had a strange sent.
She frowned at the icky scent.

Rainflight caught another scent on the breeze, but couldn't quite make it out from all the other confusing scents about the place.

Leafkit's nose crinckled(sp?) as the sent grew near. "What's that?" she asked Honeyleaf.

Riversplash padded deeper into the Strikeclan territory.

Rainflight looked around, wary, and waited for a cat to respond. He didn't want to be found deep in another Clan's territory, whatever unusual scents he might have found.

((sorry, was watching Animal Hoarding with my mom. This one lady had 300+ cats. Not kidding. She ran a shelter out of her house, she had so many.))

((Dude, there was this hoarder in my friend's neighborhood))

Leafkit padded towards the sent, leaving Honeyleaf.

((theres a hoarder in my neighborhood.. o.o))

Riversplash crouched down, seeing somethign that looked like a camp up ahead.

((I see people with all this junk in their cars, and my mom said they can't bear to throw away things like tissues or paper, in case they need them again.))

Rainflight caught the cat's scent again, This time he could tell it was a kit. What was a kit doing this far from any camp?

Leafkit peered at the warrior. She wondered what he was doing, then thought of what Wolftail and Swiftstrike might say to him.

Rainflight caught sight of the kit. "Hello. What are you doing so far from your camp? I'm Rainflight."

"I'm not that far from StrikeClan," Leafkit grumbled. "I'm Leafkit!" she added proudly.
