Skyheart's Story

A handsome sandy tabby tom lunged for the beasts' throat one more time, this time successfully sinking his teeth into the vulnerable skin on the fox's neck, and the creature struggled one last time under the tom's strong grip, and was still. The leader stepped away from the defeated creature and looked up at the rest of his party, their work done. He licked the blood from his lips and flicked his tail in the direction of the camp, gesturing to the small group of cats who had chased and defeated the creature alongside him. "Come on, patrol. Our work is done; the camp is now safe. Let's head back to camp, and make sure you see Skyheart upon arrival if you have any wounds." he said in a smooth, handsome voice, his green eyes shining in the light of dawn. The large fox had been wandering SkyClan territory the past few days, and had been a danger to any felines who happened to decide to hunt on the ground, so SandStar had decided to take a border patrol to take care of this threat, leaving his deputy in charge of camp while he was out.

SandStar entered camp with his border patrol, alighting in the single most giant tree in the forest, folding their elegant wings along their backs as the beautiful appendages were no longer needed upon landing. The branches of this ancient tree were wide enough for several cats to walk easily side by side without the fear of losing balance and falling off into the forest below. The branches intertwined in such a way that it was of no effort at all to jump from one to the other as they overlapped, and it formed a sort of hollow, in an almost bowl-shape, open to the sky except for the remaining branches in the higher level of the tree crisscrossing above, dappling the sunlight on the pelts of the cats below. The patrol broke apart as they alighted in the camp, the injured ones heading over to the Medicine Cat Den, which was in a den-like hollow set in the bark of the tree, as most of the other dens were. He waited outside as the others were treated, as his injuries were not as severe as some of the others, although still weakening him, but he always put his clan-mates' health before his own, and figured he would live until they were treated. When everyone else was treated, he entered the den with only a slight limp and greeted the Medicine Cat warmly. "Morning, SkyHeart." he meowed to her calmly.

Skyheart turned just in time to see SandStar enter her Medicine Cat Den, she nodded in his general direction. "Morning, SandStar. How are you on this fine day? I heard you were hunting a fox." she meowed calmly upon his arrival. A few other cats entered the den and complained about small scratched. Skyheart would just chuckle and grab some cobwebs and some paste to put on the few scratches. After she tended to them she took the time to look at SandStar's wound a rather large gash had formed along his front leg. SkyHeart shook her head, "Tsk, Tsk. SandStar you won't be young forever.." she murmured softly. She admired the young tom though frankly she thought him to be a great leader. He was older than she and he was the first to introduce himself when he was but a warrior and she a new member. Skyheart fluffed her rather large pure white wings, letting them lay against her flank. "Let me see what I can do." she said with a sigh then padded deeper into her den, she sorted through a few herbs before coming out with bigger cobwebs and some more paste. SkyHeart gently applied the Paste and placed the cobwebs on with her teeth. "There, that should do it. If you have anymore trouble just let me know.." SkyHeart meowed softly.

"Not bad." SandStar meowed, sitting down and seeming to be keeping his weight off of his forepaw slightly. "And you heard right. It attacked one of our patrols the other day, so I took a patrol out this morning and took care of it." he informed her calmly, his green eyes watching her casually as she inspected his wound. He smiled softly. "I like to live in the moment every once in a while." SandStar replied with a grin. "And at the moment, I am young." he pointed out, although he knew she was right. But he would continue to go out and protect his clan with tooth and claw while he still could, no matter if other leaders decided to stay in their dens 24-7 and never come out of the camp. He was not other leaders, and he wasn't one to sit there like a bump on a log. Yes, his thirst for adventure got him pretty roughed up on occasion, but it was worth it if it helped to keep his clan safe. The paste stung at first when Skyheart applied it to his wounds, but he refrained from wincing as she treated him and smiled gratefully at her when she was done. He'd had worse wounds, and this was barely a scratch, although the cut was fairly long, taking up a good distance at the front of his foreleg. He nodded and stood, the initial sting of the treatment already subsiding and the herbs beginning to soothe his wound, while the cobwebs stopped the bleeding. "Thank you. And I will." SandStar promised, smiling softly back before exiting the den.

A slender young cat walked casually across a branch, large blue eyes watching as the leader brought back his patrol. Fool, going out and risking lives for a fox. If he had taken a larger patrol they could have chased it out of the territory and been done with. The deputy of Skyclan sat down, running her sandpaper tongue across her front leg once. As Sandstar exited the medicine den, Swiftspring launched from the branch she had been on, gliding down to the leader's. Dipping her head respectfully she stood in front of him, furling her wings against her sides. "The morning hunting patrol returned while you were away, Sandstar. They reported smelling enemy clan on our lands and found a kill they left behind." The deputy informed, ears rotating back. "What action shall we take?" Swiftspring inquired.

In the higher branches of the large clan tree, a blue furred tom lay on his back, soaking up the dappled sunlight that filtered down through the green leaves above. Spidercry closed his mint green eyes, a paw twitching as he sighed contently. His ears pricked and rotated as the fox patrol returned, the young tom rolling to his feet to watch them come back. The warrior was going to go bounding down to tell Sandstar about his hunting patrol, but Swiftspring had beat him to it. The flightless cat carefully picked his way down the branches, padding past Sandstar and the deputy to enter the medicine den. "Hey Skyheart! You need anything restocked?" The warrior asked joyously.

SkyHeart watched as SandStar exited the Medicine Cat Den, she smiled softly to herself then proceeded to clean up the mess the young tom's and she-cats had left for her while they were in the den being treated. She practically jumped when SpiderCry entered her den, asking if she needed anything restocked. SkyHeart lashed out her tail, her eyes wide as she found herself scared out of her wits. "Oh, Goodness. SpiderCry. Don't scare me like that." SkyHeart teased the young tom. SkyHeart shook her fur, letting her eyes readjust. "Actually, now that you mention it I am a little low on Juniper Berries and Horse Tail.." she meowed softly. SkyHeart smiled calmly at the young blue furred tom. "But I'm sure you have more important things to do than worry about a silly young female like me." she teased gingerly.

AdderFang caught scent of the Patrol returning, his tail lashed from side to side as he watched SandStar as well as the other cats return. The pleasant morning had gone increasingly well for the young ambitious tom. AdderFang sighed and stretched a bit more, he lay on a warm patch of sunlight, he basked in the heat and purred softly. His bright green/yellow eyes watched SwiftSpring with mild interest although he listened to the conversation quietly.

"I had plans to lead a patrol myself to secure the border. I know Spidercry and Adderfang have both been laying around all day and I could use the muscle if we did run in to any trespassers." Swiftspring implied. "We can't spare anymore warriors while the others are recovering from the fox." The deputy informed, glancing around at the injured. If she asked anymore to go with, the camp would be open to attack. Her fur bristled at the thought, claws softly flexing in the tree bark before she shook out her fur, flicking an ear. "I think it'd be wise to alert the other warriors of the situation and to be more alert while on patrol." Swiftspring suggested, flicking her ears back as she felt eyes burning in to her fur. Slowly her large blue eyes cut to the side, looking towards Adderfang. "It'd be good to get those toms off their lazy butts."

Spidercry chuckled softly at Skyheart. "Me? Better things? Like what?" The Tom mused, flicking his tail as he twitched his white whiskers. "Swiftspring scheduled me for a border patrol around sunset, I could keep an eye out for anything you might need. Just show me what you're low on and how much I should take if I find it." Spidercry offered.

SkyHeart chuckled, flicking her tail as it brushed SpiderCry's flank. "Alright, If you insist. Anyway I do need some Juniper Berry and Horse Tail. I've been lacking both if you could fetch them for me." she meowed softly. SkyHeart sighed and watched as SpiderCry left the Medicine Cat Den to look for the herbs she'd asked. She ruffled her wings and groomed them quickly before turning and sorting some herbs.



AdderFang groomed his fur and narrowed his eyes, clearly not liking the title "Lazy." AdderFang sat up and padded softly over to the two. "Sure, I'd love to help." he growled, glaring slightly over at the Deputy. AdderFang nodded his head at SandStar.

SkyHeart sat beside SandStar's den, she peeked her head in. "SandStar? May I enter?" she asked calmly. After a few minutes of silence SandStar's call of "Yes" made SkyHeart enter quietly. "Is something troubling you, SandStar? Have you had any dreams of StarClan lately?" she asked, ruffling her wings calmly.

AdderFang nodded his head quietly, looking over at SwiftSpring then again at SpiderCry. "I'm ready. Let's show those pieces of fox-dung who their messing with." he growled then stalked forward, following the two cats out of the territory.

AngelWing groomed her fur quietly, her huge swollen belly notified she was going to have her kits soon. She sighed and watched the clan from inside the Queen's Den.

SandStar blinked out of his thoughts and allowed her access into his den with a soft 'yes'. When she entered the hollow, he met her gaze and sighed softly, giving her a small smile. "I'm just concerned about the other clans. If they will trespass on our land to steal our food, what other crimes will they commit? If this turns into something more serious, all I can hope is that it will end without too much bloodshed, and hopefully not any at all." he murmured, tail flicking and a chill going up his spine at the thought. "And thats another thing that worries me. SkyClan has not entered my dreams for at least a fortnight, and their silence worries me. What about you? Has StarClan spoken to you at all?" he asked the Medicine Cat, watching her with trusting, yet slightly troubled green eyes. Somehow, SandStar had always felt like he could trust his medicine cat, as a leader should be able to, but it was more than that - she listened to him, and she was easy to talk to, and he liked that about her. He felt as if he could be open and honest with her, although he didn't tell her everything that was on his mind. They all had their secrets...

SilverSlash lay in the growing sunlight as the sun rose higher and higher from the horizon, cleaning a paw in the sun's warm rays, tongue rasping over the white fur of his paw. His silver tabby pelt shone in the sunlight, and he blinked his clear stream-water blue eyes as he lazily surveyed the camp from his perch on one of the higher branches, tail swishing lazily below him. His eyes lingered on the Queen's den for a moment as the beautiful AngelWing entered his thoughts, but then his gaze continued on as he tried to think of other things, although it was harder than he would like to get her out of his thoughts. Thinking of her just reminded him that she was carrying another tom's kits, and that she would never truly be his, although the tom who she had mated to was now gone. Eventually his hunger gnawed at his stomach and he rose from his perch to glide gracefully down from branch to branch until he stood in front of the fresh-kill pile. He grabbed a sparrow and then brought it back up with him to his branch, where he lay down on the warming wood smoothed by moons of paws walking along its surface, and ate his feathered breakfast.

AdderFang dodged a quick branch that probably could have knocked his eye out if he wasn't careful. His wings were slightly open, allowing him to gain a faster speed. He caught up easily with SwiftSpring and padded practically side by side with her. "Do you have any idea who the cats belong to?" AdderFang meowed softly to SwiftSpring. His heartbeat quickened at the thought of battle and he growled absent-mindedly.

SkyHeart shook her head calmly, her light eyes met his. "I have not received any word from StarClan..It frankly frightens me and I wonder If perhaps I should head to the tree from which you got to talk to StarClan...Maybe they could give us a sign there.." she murmured softly.

AngelWing sighed and winced, feeling her kits move from inside her, it was painful for them to move around considering their wasn't much room in her small stomach. AngelWing sighed and stood, feeling her belly sway from underneath her. Cautiously and carefully AngelWing padded out of the Queen's Den, she looked around and spotted the Fresh-Kill. Since the clan was lacking Apprentices most of the cats just had to take care of themselves. AngelWing padded slowly but carefully towards the Fresh Kill pile, she grabbed a tasty looking thrush and began to gnaw on it gingerly, enjoying the fresh taste.

AdderFang didn't hesitate as he lunged for the larger black tom, taking the blow before the NightClan Deputy could hurt SwiftSpring. BlackThorn's large claws dug into AdderFang shoulder and he yowled in pain. AdderFang shot a glare over at SpiderCry, "Quickly! Go tell SandStar, Limp there as fast as you can!" he yelled before he wrested around under BlackThorn's heavy body, seeing if he could pinpoint a weak spot on the large tom. AdderFang raked his back claws against the underside of BlackThorn's underbelly, the large tom yowled and sprung off the large tom. The other two cats lunged for SwiftSpring, AdderFang longed to help her but alas he couldn't get his grip off of BlackThorn long enough to distract him. AdderFang felt claws go into his back as he looked up to find another cat attacking his flank. How many were there? AdderFang's thoughts whirled as he wondered if the leader of NightClan had anything to do with it, or rather it was just BlackThorn. No matter, AdderFang lunged at BlackThorn's throat, gripping it with his teeth and not letting go, the large tom swung his head consistently fast as he tried to shake the younger stronger tom off of him. AdderFang was thrown and he let his wings unfold from underneath him just in time as he missed the tree by an instant. AdderFang soared back up into the sky, getting a good look from the clearing he'd say half of the clan was attacking SkyClan border, why were they constantly trying to attack our border? AdderFang curled his wings and shot back down, diving into BlackThorn. The large tom yowled and was knocked to the ground. AdderFang growled and rolled off to the side, BlackThorn's massive black paw missed one of AdderFang's wings by a split second. The large black tom and AdderFang continued to wrestle, neither getting the upper hand.

SkyHeart pricked her ears, a clan attacking SkyClan? It was obscured. SkyHeart shook her head and with a growl bolted out of SandStar's Den, quickly heading towards SpiderCry. "How bad are you hurt?" she asked but then without waiting for an answer SkyHeart quietly dragged him by the scruff into the Medicine Cat's Den. SkyHeart grabbed some Yarrow as well as some Poppy Seeds. She let SpiderCry lick up the seeds as he quietly rested his eyes. SkyHeart chewed up the Yarrow and quickly applied it to his wounds she also put cobwebs to make sure the paste would stay on his horrific wounds. SkyHeart sighed and looked up as she and SandStar met their gaze. SkyHeart looked back over at SpiderCry and hoped everyone would survive this sudden encounter.

AdderFang contiuned to battle with a few other cats as SwiftSpring was obviously taking care of BlackThorn. The large tom continued major assaults on the Deputy. Anger and Frusteration built up inside himself. AdderFang sent a powerful swipe at the tom nearest him, the tom yowled and scampered back into the bush. AdderFang looked up just in time to see SandStar and with SilverSlash at his side with quite a few cats running into the battle, now it was even. Power surged into his chest as AdderFang fought with a new found strength.

AngelWing winced as pain spread across her belly, her kits continued to move. She watched as SilverSlash left camp, she watched with a full heart, hoping the tom would come back safety.

SandStar tensed and raced out of the den close behind SkyHeart. He leaped up to the high branch where he usually makes announcements and let out a yowl so all the cats in the clan could hear him and would gather, and quickly, he hoped. He met SkyHeart's gaze for a split second, sighing grimly as he watched her drag SpiderCry to the Medicine Cat den to attend to him. SandStar sighed and looked back out over the gathering clan. Damn it, why was NightClan doing this? SandStar just didn't understand why they would steal their food and provoke them and attack them on their own territory like this. What was their reason? Well, if they wanted a fight, he would give them one right back, although it pained him to see any blood shed. Once the majority of the clan had gathered in those few seconds, SandStar addressed them all, speaking loud enough for everyone to hear, and speaking quickly and with precision. If the attack was as bad as he thought, then there was no time to lose. "All battle-ready warriors and apprentices must head to the NightClan and SkyClan border immediately! There has been an ambush and our small SkyClan patrol is greatly outnumbered. Thorntail, Rivereye, stay to guard the camp in case any NightClan warriors try to come deeper into SkyClan territory. Now, hurry!" he yowled, concluding the meeting and leaping down from branch to branch until he stood in the main hollow of the camp. Without hesitation, SandStar met SkyHeart's gaze one more time, then turned on his heel and sped out of camp, arriving at the border with SilverSlahs and over a dozen battle-ready warriors and apprentices of SkyClan at his side. Reinforcements had arrived. SandStar saw AdderFang and SwiftSpring battling the NightClan warriors and saw relief in AdderFang's eyes as he met his gaze. They had arrived just in time. SandStar was impressed that AdderFang and SwiftSpring had held off half of NightClan for even this long by themselves.

SilverSlash arrived next to SandStar, as he was one of the few warriors who could match his speed and was one of the more formidable fighters. He took in the scene in a swift glance, eyes skimming over AdderFang and SwiftSpring as they struggled to hold off the many warriors. Without breaking stride, SilverSlash let out a powerful battle-cry as he leaped through the air towards a large NightClan tom heading towards SwiftSpring, sailing through the air before the impact of colliding with the tom, claws sinking into any flesh they could find, sent them both tumbling across the blood-soaked ground, the cries of battle along with his own bone-chilling cry battle-cry ringing in SilverSlash's ears. The young, strong SkyClan warrior sunk his teeth into the NightClan warrior's paw and was rewarded with a yowl of pain before claws slashed across SilverSlash's cheek, head getting whipped to the side. He let out a snarl and continued to scuffle with the other, evenly-matched tom with tooth and claw, his sharp blue eyes glinting with the heat of battle.

AdderFang felt the heat of the battle, he'd been fighting with all of his might, blood trickled out of his large wounds across his flank. Taking in deep breaths of air as AdderFang huffed and puffed, getting air back into his lungs. He glanced over at the she-cat who'd broken her jaw, he felt slight pity for the she-cat and badly wanted to tell the others it was NightClan's problem, not theirs, but he instead stayed silent. Taking hesitant limping steps AdderFang grabbed the she-cats scruff and began to gently drag her towards camp, he hoped SkyHeart would be able to fix the she-cat.

SkyHeart finished bandaging up SpiderCry, she looked up just in time to see SandStar come into camp, all of the cats were badly injured and she sighed, hoping she would have enough paste for everyone. She began to tend to the more serious wounded cats and her fur fluffed up twice her size when she realized one of the NightClan cats they were carrying. "SandStar? Why is there a NightClan cat here?" he asked but quickly closed her mouth, seeing the broken jaw. SkyHeart hurried inside and grabbed the nessicary medication to heal the she-cat.

AngelWing poked her head outside of the Queen's Den, her eyes watched as the injured cats entered the camp. She felt pity and watched as SkyHeart quickly went over a few cats at a time. She wanted to badly ask if she could help but was afraid SkyHeart would send her out into the woods to find herbs.

SandStar nodded his gratitude as AdderFang began to drag the she-cat back to camp, although he'd caught a glimpse of hesitation in the tom's eyes, as if he disagreed with SandStar's decision. SandStar knew most of the SkyClan cats would disagree with there being a NightClan cat in their camp, being tended to, but he saw no point in leaving her there to die. Perhaps NightClan would have come back for her, but SandStar wasn't about to wait around and find out. As he entered the camp with the other SkyClan cats, some injured more than others, but most pretty badly injured, he met Skyheart's gaze. "As soon as she is fit to do so, we will send her back to NightClan territory. Please tend to her broken jaw and other wounds." he ordered before she saw the broken jaw and hurried inside to treat her. Once she had done so, SandStar padded back out and started to help get the cats who were more seriously injured and were having trouble walking get into the medicine cat den; he himself was not too badly injured, other than his leg wound having been reopened and a new gash across his shoulder blades, but he would wait till the rest of the injured cats had been tended to before receiving treatment from Skyheart.

SilverSlash limped into camp with the rest of the warriors fresh out of battle, the adrenaline rush of battle still pounding through his veins as he headed towards the medicine cat den. He was an adept fighter, and had fought with all his ferocity and might, but unfortunately near the end had almost taken on more than he could handle. He had thought that he could take on the two large NightClan toms at once, but that mistake could have cost him his life; luckily, it hadn't. The toms had been stronger than he'd realized, and he had a new deep gash along his flank, multiple claw-marks along his face, and a bad shoulder to remember it by. He had also received some slightly shallower scratches on the underside of his belly from a quick-witted NightClan she-cat; his tail was also still throbbing from where she'd latched on with her teeth. All in all, he was still one of the lucky ones and was proud that at least he had dealt some substantial damage right back.

Swiftspring pushed her way through the medicine den, large blue eyes searching for blue fur. The deputy stopped as she spotted the young tom laying in a soft bed, sleeping soundly with his wounds tended too. Walking towards the spot he lay in, the she-cat sat down, touching her nose to the tom's ear. "I should have taken someone else, you weren't ready." The deputy murmured to the sleeping cat, ears back and shoulders slouched as she hung her head with a sorrowful sigh. "You did honorably, Spidercry, you are a fine warrior." The deputy nuzzled his side and then stood, trotting out of the medicine den. With so many injured, Skyheart would need help coordinating cats and that was what Swiftspring did best. Before she could find the medicine cat however, she bumped in to Adderfang. "I'm glad it was you out there, fighting at my side, Adderfang, I couldn't have done it without you." The she-cat dipped her head in gratitude. "There are no fatalities, on either side, but we showed Nightclan not to mess with Skyclan." The deputy's ears pricked as she heard a yowl. "Don't touch me!" The Nightclan cat spat, swiping an unsheathed paw at the medicine cat who had been trying to set her jaw. The small apprentice staggered back, hissing as she sat down, obviously distressed. "S-stay away from me!" The cat screeched, still in pain and confused. Swiftspring looked to Adderfang, dipping her head as she trotted over to the apprentice. "She's trying to help you, kit, allow her to save your life." The deputy ordered. Whitepaw hissed again, flicking her ears back to glare at the Siamese. "You did this!" She snarled, though the deputy could see she had no fight left. "Silence, you attacked first." Swiftspring said through gritted teeth. "Now hold still." The deputy grabbed the apprentice's scruff, holding her still long enough for Skyheart to get close enough and set the jaw correctly.

Silverslash padded into the medicine cat den and waited with other cats that had similar wounds as he did. Since his wounds weren't too serious, he would wait a little while, while Skyheart tended to the more serious cases. Until then, he tried to gently clean some of the blood out of his fur, some which wasn't even his, and licked his paw to run over his face to keep the blood out of his eyes from a wound on his forehead. He was glad that no one had been killed, on either side, especially over such a small scrap of land, but he was also glad that they showed NightClan that they wouldn't let the stealing of their prey slip by unnoticed. Silverslash lifted his head and pricked his ears when he heard the yowl of the young she-cat. Great, she's up. he thought, although he also felt bad for what had happened to the young apprentice in probably only one of her first battles. That wound would trouble her the rest of her life, and over what? A few stolen pieces of prey and a small scrap of borderland. Don't get him wrong, he agreed that NightClan needed to be shown that SkyClan cats wouldn't accept this, but they shouldn't have brought such young apprentices and warriors into it. Whats done was done. Now all they could do was try to recover from the ordeal the best they could.
