The Experienced Three

It was early morning - far before sunrise and before anyone was stirring in the camp- all who remained awake was the night time guard and they were almost done with their shift.

Right on time- to the minute Sprucebarks eyes blinked open. He was currently cuddled up in his next side by side his mate scorchlight. He slowly moved over lifting his paw off her not wanting to awaken her. He got to his paws and tip-pawed out of the warrior den. He spent the next couple of minutes grooming his pelt over- getting all near and tidy. By the time he was done not a hair stood out of place on the orderly fellow-

He shuffled on his paws for a little bit - waiting a minute or two before he inevitability got impatient as he often did whenever he had to wait. He gave a little sigh- he closed his eyes thinking back to his memory- who was with him on this morning patrol- he had to replay the part his mum had told him yesterday afternoon- let’s see what was he doing when she told him- thinking about where he was helped him remember.

He had been talking with his son -elm paw about the apprentices recent behavior and how he needed to be more careful- the code oriented warrior sometimes wondered how his son was raised by him. They were just both so different.

Oh right- she had told him it was herself and stormdance- he remembered because at the time he had been super excited for this. Although now- even the orderly rom wanted to curl up into his nest once more on this chilly morning.

He gave a little sigh- and silently went back to warrior den where he soon after found his mum nest and his brothers nest. He gently poked at them awakening them both.

“Come- you will be late” he meowed quietly walking out of the den - when they arrived he was ready and flicking his tail timingly almost as he tapped his front paw against the ground pacing back and forth.

“We are gonna be lateeee” he meowed stressed. There was always the guarantee that he was worried about being on time to the exact second.

He gave his mum a quick nuzzle and purred happily pawing at his older brother (adoptive) and leaned against him affectionately as well.


“Come come!” He meowed and darted towards the camp exit glancing over his shoulder knowing poppyshine should technically be lead of this patrol-

And of course- if there was one thing that could slow down the freight train that was sprucy when he was late was the unquestionable reliability that he would abide by every rule including one so trivial and detailed as that mum should lead this patrol due to her being deputy and most experienced one here-

He skidded on his paws skirtttt sliding to a stop to let her go first . The loyal custom - following tom was wide awake now and alert as ever

Once they were finally underway the tom was of course looking up at the sky - to tell time he would see where the sunrise was on the treetops squinty eyed he determined it was okay they had been close to being late but it seemed they were on time.

If they had been late he likely would have melted right into the ground or something equally horrifying. He flicked an ear listening to the weather report from his family. Hmm clear weather - that meant the rest of his days schedule should be in proper order just as it should be.

It was a relatively quiet patrol at first

so when he spotted a mouse a little way off he flickered his tail eagerly.
Not their normal food source but here went nothing.

Sprucebark leaps at mouse

WOW my luck with sprucebark proves to be just f tier lol ... he gets punished for this and since we have 3 T5 warriors here it is boss fight time GHAHAHA!


Sprucebark had just left the ground on his pounce towards the fight and was in mid air that he realized just how in trouble he was. There was no manovouring or escaping the punishment that was about to be unleashed on him. All he could do was let out a little squeel of anguish as the massive badger had revealed its hiding spot and leapt right at him

The tom went flying and sprawled out onto the ground below he gasped in a breath his whole chest hurt as he blinked
