Though there is much in this world that Sunstar would trust his warriors with at the cost of his life, it is good to stand here again. The dawn is chilly this morning, a reminder of the times they had left behind, but the tom is bright-eyed and eager to hand out patrols. Such a simple task, one he had forgotten the joy of in the long hours of pondering StarClan, and mentors, and each small piece of this clan that must be organized. A labor of love. But this is a good reminder. He drives himself into it with a booming voice: "WindClan! Gather for your patrols. There is much to be done." The apprentices not already roused by their mentors lift sleepy heads from dew-dropped nests; his warriors stretch and prepare themselves.
"@RATTLEHEART. We must test the use of our new tunnel. Take this path to RiverClan's border as dawn breaks, as fast as you may, and mark it as usual once you have arrived. @DUSTYFOOT, @whitedawn, and @Marmotbite. will accompany you." Timing will be everything, should they make use of this. Everything hinges upon the speed with which a tunneler may reach the border, and return once something has been found. Rattleheart will ensure that it is done with fidelity.
"@slateheart, follow this route from above come dusk, towards ThunderClan and fourtrees. You will lead @GRAVELSNAP, @Firefang, and @REDHEART. This is the first patrol that you have ledβ I know you will honor WindClan." He recalls the first time that he had asked the same of Gravelsnap, of many of his warriors. It is good to see the tom growing into his own strength within this clan. Sunstar seeks to reward this with a smile, and an extension of his trust.
It had been so few moons ago that he had stood in this spot as Sootstar commanded patrols, sending her strongest and most troublesome to borders where she wanted to seem strongest. He knows the feeling more than he would care to admit, but. . . strength is far different than violence. With an adequate show of one, the other would never be necessary. His gaze finds another warrior in the crowd. "@DIMMINGSUN will take the patrol to ShadowClan, leading @SNAKEHISS, @Goldenstrike, and @sparkspirit at sunhigh." A nod. "And at the same time, I ask that @Bluepool leads @gracklestep, @FOXGLARE, and @Periwinklebreeze. towards horseplace."
"This leaves the rest of the tunnelers at your command, @SCORCHSTREAK. It is yours to lead. @SOOTSPOT, @BLUEFROST, and @mistcrawl will go with you.." And with his next thought, Sunstar inhales deeply. By now Mintshade will have noticed that her name was not called. Nightingalecry stands with her. His eyes seek out them both.
"@Mintshade and @nightingalecry are to assist the queens for a time. With so many of our clan hunting to feed them, we lose those who would assist our queens. Entertain or educate, this is for you to decide. But you are to remain in camp with them until patrols have returned." He could not risk sending her to their territory, not with her belly as ballooned as it is. Whether or not she ignored it, Sunstar had seen the beginnings of pregnancy before. And Nightingalecry. . . well, the kits did not need another set of eyes to watch over them. His friend? She certainly did.
