"Yeah, I guess it's due to the clan being so small, that we need to
push it so we don't seem so weak. Oh, I do act like a kit, don't
try to cover for me." Darkwater said in amusement. "Stoneclan it
is," he said and tagged Stormhiss and bounded away to the next
boarder line.
"Fine then I won't." Stormhiss took on a competitive expression and
darted after Darkwater toward the border. He managed to catch up
with him, then nudged his shoulder and ran ahead.
"Oh no you don't!" Darkwater ran ahead of the tom his tail flicked
the tip of Stormhiss' nose. 'Ah, I feel more awake now,' Darkwater
thought and keeping well ahead of Stormhiss but still in his sight.
"What happened to the serious tom a while ago?" Darkwater mewed
back teasingly.
"He quit bothering and gave up!" Stormhiss called after him and
dashed forward, pounding the ground harder than before and poked
his side with his tail. "Nice try!" He went faster and looked
ahead, seeing the they were coming towards the border straight
ahead.
"Glad to hear it," Darkwater mewed and pushed forward so that he
won't lose sight of Stormhiss. He wanted another pass, but decided
to pull back, 'best not to wear myself out even further,' he
thought. "Alright, you win, I give. . ." Darkwater mewed.
Stormhiss skidded to a halt at the border. He stood there barely
panting and took a deep breath. He knew he was acting like a kit,
but then he glanced at the border and shrugged it off. "Eh, it was
worth it," he mumbled to himself. "Well then.. good race.."
Darkwater gave a small chuckle, "It was indeed a grand race, if
only we had other warriors with us to see my win." Darkwater
teased. "Seems as if Stoneclan is keeping their distance as well,
maybe it is only Cloudclan causing the trouble." Darkwater said and
flicked his tail on Stormhiss's ear. "We're almost done because of
that race, you clearly won. I say it's good to act like a kit when
no other is watching, so don't worry, it's just between you and
me." He started padding to the next boarder in a slow pace.
Stormhiss caught his breath and stifled a chuckle. "Fine. But don't
expect me to do this whole kit act everyday. Though I guess I'm
still an apprentice by personality.." He responded and followed
Darkwater to the border.
"It's only natural that I'm a kit all the time since I do play with
them the most." Darkwater mewed, "I just want check on the
Cloudclan boarder once more, just to make sure," he added. He took
on a new appearance that looks more like an experienced warrior
then a large kit running around.
(Forgot to mention, every eight pages is a moon. Might add an event
thing to show when gatherings will start/I'll control NPCs for
other clans)
"I wonder why Wadestar let two kits out of the camp." A voice
called. It was Runningwind, deputy of Fernclan. "Glad i walked in
at the right time, the clans would enjoy Tideclan's behavior. Might
as well cover it up now and act like you are supposed to." She
said, sitting on a boulder.
"He overestimates other cats, that's why he's beaten many times."
Silverpaw said. "You've fought him before?" Palepaw said, hiding
his shock. "Only during war, I guess he wants to start another
one." She sighs.
Frostpaw dashed off to gather some Fennel, while looking closely
for any cobweb.
(What and where Moonstone and Mothermouth? How can I become
medicine cat if they don't exist?!?!?)
(Tideclan is many generations after the series. You become a med
after the current med dies. Instead of Mothermouth and Moonstone, I
made up a place myself. There is a mountain right outside
Stoneclan's border called Whispering Shrine. The top of the
mountain has a star-shaped stone called Star shard where they can
communicate with their ancestors)
"Why so hostile? I didn't cross or anything." Runningwind smirked.
"I can border by myself, problem?" She said, easily saying so
without flinching. She was known as a very powerful warrior, even
taking three lives from Wadestar.
"When have I shown confusion? You should think before you speak."
Runningwind smirked, not baffled by the remark. "Would you want to
have another clan for an enemy? I think not, you have a small clan
and are already hostile towards Cloudclan." She said.
