Ever since her kits were born, Briarstar worried. Worried a predator would sneak into camp and end their fragile lives. Worried a cat from another Clan would end up on their lands and threaten the safety of her children. There was only one sure fire way she could prevent this. They could all sleep a little better knowing their young, elderly, and sick would be protected.
“ShadowClan!” Briarstar yowled as she leaped atop the Clanrock to address her subjects. The dark-furred queen waited in dutiful silence as everyone gathered beneath her. She curled her tail around her paws before speaking again. “We are lucky we have the Thunderpath to separate us from the other Clans… but I fear it’s not enough. I worry our camp might be raided by predators or our lands hunted upon by one is the other groups. We need to protect what little we have!”
She took a moment to let her words sink in before continuing. “I want us to establish borders along the Thunderpath and all the way around the marshes. I want patrols regularly checking and reinforcing these borders. Any intruders, Clan or loner, any predators… I want those reported to me and we will deal with them effectively,” she mewed. She knew predators would not heed scent markers but cats would, or so she hoped. “We’re going to make our territory as safe as can be. Would anyone like to accompany me on a patrol to place the first markers?”
She paused and waited for volunteers.
