Eagles and Owls Fly in the Night {Owlclan-Eagleclan Patrol}

[arizonatea]

OOC: Everyone can join this patrol and remember it is Dusk Patrol. This is an interaction only for Owlclanners and Eagleclanners.


IC:  A blanket of white stretch across the terrain. It lay undisturbed and peaceful like the soft and smooth pelt of a small white kitten. The crystal solid hug around the trees, rocks, and other objects along the ground while it decorated the treetops and other surfaces around the territory with white. As a black creature paddling through the terrain his bright blue eyes was focus on what was laying ahead. He had a few creatures of his kind paddling behind him. Whiskers twitch the sky was slowly darkening, but not enough to be full-fledge darkness. “We are almost there.” He meow confidently revealing it was a small domestic black cat. However this cat was born to be wild and could care less about the luxuries of being around twolegs like most kittypets do. He didn’t have a problem with them, but he didn’t trust nor like twolegs enough to join one and be boss around by one.

Although he had long legs his wet fur was causing it to be harder and harder to walk and some parts of the snow was deeper than others. Finally before he knew it he end up tripping on a stick and fall into the snow. He popped out quickly shaking what he could of the snow. He was cold and this was his least favorite season to be dealing with. Even as a kit would stay with his mother Pepper and stay in the den with her all day instead of playing with the alley cats in the snow. He long for the warmth and seeing the fireflies dance about in the forest, but as deputy it was important they get out for food and to make sure the borders were okay. Luckily the peace between Hawkclan and Eagleclan were well so the thought of war didn’t occur to him and he wasn’t about to give the thought a chance to flourish and grow. He was actually eager to see the friendly Eagleclan cats and wonder how their leader and members were.

Soon he spotted a group of trees around large rocks and boulders. This is it. he thought pleasantly as he meow “Alright let start marking the borders. We might see Eagleclan so be respectful.” And with that he started marking the trees and other common places the cats mark. He kept his ears perk in case he heard any crushing of snow from the other side or something else that might be unwanted. Blackbird was proud of his clan and he was shock about being deputy of it, but it was nice to know that he could get along with other group of cats and celebrate in their achievements as well despite the fact they were very different. He didn’t think he could ever live on the open moors, but he admire the cats that could and was happy there were no hard feelings between the two clans.

And you, you bring me to my knees, again
All the times, that I could beg you please, in vain
All the times, when I felt insecure, for you
And I leave, my burdens at the door

This time of every year was hardest for the cats that lived along the moorlands of Eagleclan. Sure they had the river to pick fish from, but that still only gave them a limited supply of prey, especially when the cold, blue water froze over from the freezing weather. Eagleclan cats weren't build for the snow, they were normally small, lithe and short furred, adapted to easily run among the open meadows of rough grasses they called their home. Luckily, their medicine cat was able to get plenty of Catnip for the sickness that liked to spread during the Leafbare season, greencough. It was still a dangerous time for Eagleclan.

Large paws crunched their way through the snow, as the owner of said paws kept her chilly, ice blue eyes trained ahead of her as they walked along the borderlines. She, along with the rest of her patrol, had given up on trying to find some sort of rabbit, bird or vole on this side of the snow covered moorlands. Movement, however, caught her attention as a young she-cat darted forwards with her brother, the two apprentices floundering through the snow until it got too deep and the she-cat dropped out of site into a white mess. Glancing at the other two warriors with her, Timberstar gave a low chuckle before striding forwards to look at the hole that Creampaw made.

"You still have to watch out for rabbit holes, even in the snow." Timberstar said, dipping her head to grip the creamy and white she-cat's scruff before pulling her out and setting her down. Using her tail, the old she-cat easiy brushed off the snow from the shivering apprentice's shoulder and back. "Come on, lets finish going over Owlclan's border heading back. It will be dark soon." The massive brown tabby she-cat spoke before taking off again, her graying paws leading the way through the thick white coating over the moors.

Creampaw's brother, Dirtpaw, leaped forwards when he spotted movement along the forest border line as he raced over, yowling over his shoulder, "Owlclan cats Creampaw!" Of course, the she-cat took off after him, it would be their first time seeing the nocturnal cats of Owlclan.

With a flick of her tail, Timberstar led the other warriors over to where the two apprentices were waiting. "Good evening." She mewed in her more or less monotone voice towards the group of night loving cats. "How are things running in Owlclan on this cold Leafbare?" She asked, stopping near the border line, her graying muzzle moved as she glanced at each Owlclan cat in turn before her cerulean eyes landed on Blackbird.

But I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
I can see through you, see your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly, you're ugly like me
I can see through you, see to the real you

OOC: Creampaw and Dirtpaw are NPCs

Before the Eagleclan cats arrive he was busy scent-marking the border on Owlclan side. A lot of things were buzzing through the tom’s mind and one thing was prey. In the forest the nighttime cats were used to hunting at night, but it gets colder at night causing the prey to move underground. It may be best to hunt in the daytime, but Blackbird’s eyes were more equipped for the night than in the day. It could be because he prefers to stay within the shadows, but whatever the reason he just wasn’t fond of the daytime. He noticed two warriors and one apprentice with him. One was a gray and white tom named Frostblast. His baby blue eyes were scanning the area for any danger. The next warrior was named was a white she-cat with black rings around her tail named Ringtail. Her amber eyes seem to glow the darker the sky became. The last one was the black and white apprentice named Wolfpaw. His green eyes were full of excitement and eagerness as he look at his mentor, Ringtail.

He perks up his ears as he heard the arrival of Eagleclan and twitch his ears as a young sounding cat meow something about Owlclan cats. He turns his head to see Timberstar approaching with confidence towards them. He let out a chuckle of amusement as Wolfpaw turn around and meow “Wow Eagleclanners! Hi!” The black and white tom was going to cross over the border, but Ringtail flick her tail for the apprentice to come back and stay near the border. Ringtail always seems to like to respect borders despite the fact Eagleclan and Owlclan were allies. Blackbird turned his full attention to the Eagleclan leader especially when she spoke to them about how things were going and was looking directly at him. The Owlclan deputy meow warmly “Things are well. Even though the prey likes to hide when it gets colder at night we are still able to catch some luckily and no sickness has arrived here. Personally I would love for all of this snow to go away, but overall things are well. How are things going in Eagleclan?” Wolfpaw butted in and meow to Blackbird still with his excited tone “But I like the snow! It was much fun and sometimes you can make dens out of it! You can make all sorts of shape.” Blackbird just laughed and meow “For you maybe, but personally the snow is too cold for me.” turning his attention back on the Eagleclanners.

OOC: Wolfpaw, Ringtail, and Frostblast are all NPCs as well. I will only playing them because well the clan is still too small to make a full patrol with other players yet.

Ears flickering forwards at the mews of the young apprentice, the elder leader turned her cold blue eyes towards the Owlclanner. It seemed like it was the first time this young Wolfpaw had been let out of camp. A new apprentice by the looks of his still slightly soft kitten fur that he had yet to loose. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched the white and ginger tomcat of Eagleclan flick his tail out to bare Creampaw from placing paw onto the snowed over Owlclan lands.

Opening her graying jaws, Timberstar gave her response to Blackbird, "Eagleclan is fairing against the leafbare snows." She said without revealing to much information that, however she did catch Suntemper tense up slightly, a bit of a temper on that one, hence his warrior name. "We have yet to fall to Greencough, thank Starclan." She said once she returned her attention to the black furred deputy. Shifting her weight slightly on her aging legs, as well as moving from the cold snow that stuck to her paw pads, Timberstar's ears flickered out towards Hawkclan's territory past the vast, white moorlands.

"We have a couple of cats out in Hawkclan's territory, trying to help them rebuild after the rockslide." The large brown tabby she-cat said, her voice holding a monotone as she addressed the cats of Owlclan. She figured that Nightstar would send a few cats later on to help their allies. Hawkclan had lost several good cats as long as older cats and kits that couldn't make it out in time. She was also aware that Sassystar had lost her last life due to the falling rocks inside Hawkclan's cave camp, may her spirit rest peacefully in Starclan. Her attention was once again stolen by Suntemper as he snapped slightly at Dirtpaw and Creampaw. 

"Get your paws over here!" Suntemper growled, his blue eyes stone cold as he stood, his white body almost blending into the snow covered grounds while his ginger head stuck out like a sore paw. Flicking her tail to brush Suntemper back as the two apprentices slunk back towards Lilydawn, Suntemper's sister, Timberstar glanced up at the sky, "I suppose we should be going, night time is more of Owlclan's time." She purred lightly before turning, her paws stepping up to pull herself from the cold grasps of the snow below. "May Starclan give you a prosperous hunting night." She called over her shoulder before gathering her short furred and cold clanmates as they made their way across the moorlands and back towards their warm camp.
