They'd visited three of their shared borders now, and the sun was beginning to dip below the horizon as they finally reached their fourth and final destination. Windclan had been quiet recently, since Sootstar had been overthrown she hadn't heard much in the way of trouble from their moorland neighbors. Though, she could vividly remember the day that she had been on a patrol nearby which had unfortunately stumbled into a large group of twolegs. What they had been up to out here, she still didn't know, but her spine tingled at the memory of one trying to grab Thundergleam. Hopefully it was an occasion that would never repeat itself.
The pale lynx point felt her paw steps falter slightly as the gorge that separated their two clans came into view, her heart stuttering with visions of the last time she had been in this spot. They had been leading the wolves away from camp, desperate to be rid of them after she and her friends had failed to guard the camp the night of her warrior ceremony. Batwing and Duskbird had both died that day, and Howlingstar had lost a life. Somehow, it all felt like a lifetime ago, and yet it was still as fresh in her mind as the day it had happened.
Realizing that she had been stopped still for more than a few long heartbeats, Palefire cleared her throat and cast her apprentices an apologetic look. This patrol was for them. She smiled weakly though her tail wavered behind her, and she lowered herself to her haunches to hide the slight tremble in her paws. "Okay, so this is the border we share with Windclan. It's been a few moons now, but they also went through a difficult internal conflict wherein their leader was overthrown." It was an all-too-familiar situation to them now, and she hoped the subject wouldn't make Meadowpaw or Ivorypaw uncomfortable. But it was important that they know these things. "Sootstar was removed, and Sunstar succeeded her. His deputy is Scorchstreak, and they have two full-fledged medicine cats, Wolfsong and Cottonsprig." She paused, allowing the information to sink in. "Any questions?"
