| With his new name and new earned goal as a warrior, Lynxscar led the small patrol with the young she-cat by his side. They weren't really far from age difference but their ranks meant things entirely different. This was supposed to be a regular night patrol through the territory, in search of trespasser but there was a constant concern on the back of the scarred's tom head. He was doing just this when he got his scar... when Mistwalker maimed him. The memory made his blood boil in anger but this time... he wasn't an apprentice and Rowanpaw wasn't alone like he was. "Keep your senses sharp, Rowanpaw. We don't want to be ambushed so easily." He mewed, keeping his green eyes on the path. ______________________________________ Oaksoul of Riverclan ↠↠ Tier 2 Warrior ↠↠ #3333ccFerntwist of Windclan ↠↠ Tier 1 Warrior ↠↠ #0099cc |

| "Mm." Rowanpaw nodded, rather subdued. Her bright eyes flicked around the path ahead, wary of all around her. As an apprentice, the details were kept in mystery to her, but she knew enough from the tension in the air, something was up. So with each step, she was cautious, making little to no sound as she pressed on through the marshes beside Lynxscar. Though their ages were similar, she was still frustrating smaller, no bigger than when she first became an apprentice. Similar to her grandmother, they said, though that brought her little comfort. "Do you think the two of us will be enough? Not to doubt your skill. But I'm hardly a warrior of old." |

| The tom blinked, a little shocked by how the she-cat answered. Was this how weak Shadowclan had turned?! Not even apprentices had trust in their own force! How could they be called the most ruthless and strong in battle when he had clanmates which such lowered confidence? Shadowclan truly needed some changes... "And how does that make any difference? I'm barely a warrior, my ceremony was barely made a few days ago. Don't forget your Shadowclan pride, Rowanpaw. Our ancestors were known for being formidable fighters, great and mighty as tigers!" Even if his words could be considered harsh, all the tom wanted was to boost the she-cat's confidence. His clan needed that if they truly wanted to go back to its roots.
However, before he could continue with the small life's lesson, a rustle of branches caught the tom's attention. From the top of a pine tree, a pair of round yellow eyes were barely visible just before the owl took the flight to attack. His fur bristled immediately and with a hiss, the tom stepped forward to face the big bird. His claws reached the tom's shoulder but the warrior paid no mind to the pain. He was already used to it. So, instead of stepping back, when the claws sunk into its flesh, he took that as an advantage and reared-up on his legs to slash, leaving the owl no way out to escape from his attack.
Owl used Talon Strike, dealing 10 HP and using 10 SP. Lynxscar used Rear-up to Slash, dealing 9 HP and costing 15 SP
Owl 41/50 HP 110/120 SP
Lynxscar 30/40 HP 105/120 SP
Rowanpaw 20/20 HP 80/80 SP ______________________________________ Oaksoul of Riverclan ↠↠ Tier 2 Warrior ↠↠ #3333ccFerntwist of Windclan ↠↠ Tier 1 Warrior ↠↠ #0099cc |

| Rowanpaw was certainly surprised by the fervour in Lynxscar's reply. Though his words hardly made her bigger or stronger, she felt just a little be better about herself. He was right, one didn't look down on a snake because it was small, they feared the venom of its bite, the speed of its movements. Flicking back her ears, she shed the awkward self-deprecating attitude that had settled into this morning as she awoke to the tension in camp. If Thornbriar was willing to let her attend this patrol, obviously she was ready for it. Bumbling around, licking her wounds wasn't going to do much for her. And it was well timed too.
When the owl came swooping down, Rowanpaw hissed like a treaded serpent, ears pinned back and tail fluffed up like a bottlebrush. Though she was prepared to fight, the simple reality was that she wasn't as strong. So she took advantage of her size, running forward and using her momentum to slam into the owl, claws stretched out, before pushing off against its feathered body.
Rowanpaw used Run and Tackle. Bonus damage as Owl was focused on Lynxscar. -9 HP -10 SP
Owl 32/50 HP 110/120 SP
Lynxscar 30/40 HP 105/120 SP
Rowanpaw 20/20 HP 70/80 SP |

| When the small she-cat darted forward to tackled the owl down, the tom's face showed a wide grin. "That's what I'm talking about!" He chirped. But the victory did not last for too long. Soon, the large furious bird incorporated and, extending its wings, he took flight. Lynxscar crouched, losing from the sight the bird as it hid among the trees. The owl took its chances and dove down in the dark to ambush the larger and more dangerous cat. With its claws wide open, the predator tried to grab the tom's back and swoop it with it but what the owl was not expecting was that he would react so fast. As soon as the claws took its back, Lynxscar rolled over and attacked the exposed belly with rage, setting down a trail of blood in the owl's feathers.
Owl used Swoop on Lynxscar, dealing 20 damage and costing 20 SP. Lynxscar used Belly Rake, dealing 9 damage and costing 10 stamina. Owl 23/50 HP 90/120 SP
Lynxscar 10/40 HP 95/120 SP
Rowanpaw 20/20 HP 70/80 SP ______________________________________ Oaksoul of Riverclan ↠↠ Tier 2 Warrior ↠↠ #3333ccFerntwist of Windclan ↠↠ Tier 1 Warrior ↠↠ #0099cc |

| "Lynxscar!" Rowanpaw caterwauled as the owl gouged into the warrior's pelt, blood streaming from the vicious wounds. Though clearly some of the blood was from Lynxscar's retaliatory rakes, it still made for a horrifyingly gory sight, one that made her confront the reality of battles in a way that training failed to. Though fear began to coil in her heart, Rowanpaw pushed through as adrenaline took over.
Like a cat possessed, she flung herself again into the fray, slicing at the owl's face. A move that would be seen as dishonourable in a fair fight, but this was an owl. There was no code when it came to fighting for your life. "Buzz off!"
Rowanpaw used Front Paw Strike. -6 HP -10 SP
Owl 17/50 HP 90/120 SP
Lynxscar 10/40 HP 95/120 SP
Rowanpaw 20/20 HP 60/80 SP |

| Injured and not so hungry, the bird knew this was a battle it couldn't win. The last attack of the smaller cat made it see that and, flipping its huge wings, the owl fled the battle to recover from its injuries and maybe hunt on another night and another territory.
Owl fled the battle
The warrior's green eyes watched as the predator flew away, making sure it would stay away from him and the apprentice. His breathing soon returned to normal and he quickly licked his injured shoulder to clean up the wound. It wasn't that bad but probably Mothpaw would want to see and do a better job than his tongue. Lynxscar then looked down to the ginger molly and offered her a half-smile. "See? You got the fire of a Shadowclan's warrior! You just need to find that strength and show it. That's the only way you and Shadowclan can grow." Sure the she-cat wasn't his apprentice. However, that did not mean he could not give his fellow clanmate a life's advice for the future. The other clans had grown thinking Shadowclan was weak... that they could take advantage of that by maiming apprentices and stealing prey. Those days were over because he was going to do something about it.
But today was not the day for big changes. "We should go back and inform Thorbriar about an owl in the area. I'll also make sure to tell her about your performance today, Rowanpaw." ______________________________________ Oaksoul of Riverclan ↠↠ Tier 2 Warrior ↠↠ #3333ccFerntwist of Windclan ↠↠ Tier 1 Warrior ↠↠ #0099cc |

| "Thanks, Lynxscar!" Rowanpaw meowed warmly with pin-bursts of pride taking root in her at his words. Though she doubted that she would have made it very far alone, that was what a clan was for. If she was meant to fend for herself, she was no better off than a rogue frankly. She contributed something, maybe another apprentice would have done better, but they weren't here. For all she knew, they could have done worse. Shaking off any doubt, she helped Lynxscar lick off the muck that came with grappling the owl so the wounds were at least clean before they headed off.
"But you have to see Mothpaw first, okay?" She urged the tom, though the idea of Thornbriar made her feel a little giddy and hopeful she would be allowed to go on a moonstone journey, she worried about the sluggish bleeding. |
