"Where's Hailstar?" a gruff voice came from almost nowhere. As Robinclaw's eyes adjusted to the darkness, he saw an ash-and-white tom in front of him with a scar. He also saw he was with a femme, a white one with black markings. "Who's asking?" he lifted his chin slightly as he stayed in his spot guarding the entrance to camp. "What's it matter? If you get in my way, you'll be regretful." the male voice came again, and Robinclaw heard a few pawsteps along with lighter ones. "Now, Brokenfang, no need to be so hostile," the female's voice was like water rippling. "Excuse my mate here, he's not always like that. You must be Robinclaw, judging by your appearance he told us." she paused and Robinclaw nodded slowly. "I'm Midnightblaze and this is my mate, Brokenfang. We're messengers of Hailstar; personally." Midnightblaze explained shortly. Brokenfang clicked his tongue and for the first time since they stepped forward into the moonlight, Robinclaw noticed the scar more and his over-hanging chipped tooth and long claws. These cats were both built well, he knew instantly they could take down a leader in a short time. "All right," he said finally. "Let me go and get another patroller, a short wait please." he trotted to the warrior den and, after a moment, prodded Hollyclaw gently. "Holly..could you patrol for me for a few, we've got some..returners." he said softly.

Hollyclaw yawned, blinking slowly. "Sure, but they'll have to take it easy." she mewed, standing up and prodding Suntear. "Suntear, tell Moonpaw to get up for a patrol." she meowed out a command as easily as Hailstar could.

Robinclaw nodded silently. Suntear opened his eyes and got up groggily. "Sure," he mumbled. He trotted to the Apprentice's den and poked Moonpaw with his nose. "Patrolling, Moonpaw." he said softly.
Robinclaw looked at Hollyclaw a moment, mouthing 'Be careful. Not so sure of them.' He padded out back to the entrance where Brokenfang and Midnightblaze had stepped in, glancing around. "All right then. Follow me," he led them to Hailstar's den, entered when he said and the reuinion began. He watched as Hailstar jumped up at the sight of Brokenfang and his mate. 'This is great!" he yipped loudly.

Moonpaw raised her head and padded out, "Wha? Oh, alright." she mewed, letting out a great big yawn.
Hollyclaw let out a purr. "I figured you two wouldn't mind my lagging behind," she mewed, dipping her head.

Suntear drowsily padded to the camp entrance. He sat outside of it, flicking his tail every so often. After a while, Hailstar and the rest came over. "We decided to wait till morning to tell everyone. These cats are some of my long-term friends, and brief messengers on a long journey. They have returned, finally!" at this, Midnightblaze and Brokenfang introduced themselves, looking over the warriors and apprentice carefully.

Moonpaw let out a soft hiss in fright. "They're HUGE" she exclaimed wildly.

Midnightblaze lowered her head to look Moonpaw in the eyes. She smiled and flicked her tail in a friendly way. Suntear stared at them cautiously. "Even these can take down Hailstar, or any leader..." he breathed. Hailstar apparently heard and nodded slightly. "These cats are very brave, and very strong; loyal to add. They are great warriors, the kind we need to keep safe these days, so they've decided they might stay with us." he mewed. He stood, nodded and stalked back to his den, leaving the journey-ers and warriors; apprentice alone.

Moonpaw shrunk under their gaze. "I-I'm scared..." she mewed lowly, shivering wildly.

Brokenfang slightly hissed but Midnightblaze silenced him with a glare. She sat down in front of the apprentice. "There's no need," she said softly. "We're allies. And don't mind Brokenfang. He's more stubborn than a badger." she grinned. Suntear decided it was safe to approach the cats, so he moved closer, sitting by Robinclaw. "Why don't you share your tale?" he said. Brokenfang grunted and sat, so Midnightblaze began. She told of their long journey to the mountains on a 'quest' for Hailstar, and a prophecy. The troubles they faced, the strength they had to make sure they didn't lose. "And then, as we were returning..our three kits, almost apprentices," Midnightblaze glanced at Moonpaw, "Bloodkit, Flamekit, and Lightkit, were hunting in the woods, and tumbled over a cliff. It wasn't very high, but high enough..to kill them." she sighed but smiled.

Moonpaw gaspped. She suddenly imagined that happening to Suntear and she moved closer to him. shivering from the thought. "I'm s-sorry to hear that..."

Midnightblaze nodded. "Yeah, but they were good kits," she mewed. Suntear glanced at Moonpaw. "It sounds tragic.. so how did you and Hailstar get aqautited?"(however the hell you spell it lol) Midnightblaze let Brokenfang explain that. A starving cat that they merely helped out. "Anyways, whats it like around here?" Midnightblaze asked. "Great!" Suntear and Robinclaw said in unison. Midnightblaze looked to Moonpaw.

(I just noticed, in a way, moonpaw's like Hinata XD)
She looked at the elderly cat and nodded. "Yes, it is g-great, a-and i-if you l-like, I-I c-can..." she paused and took a deep breath. "Catch... a... rabbit or two for... you.." she spoke very carefully, and tried to make herself clear.

Midnightblaze smiled. "I'm capable of catching my own food, but thank you." she laughed slightly.

Midnightblaze flicked an ear. "All right then," she grinned. "A deal. For 2 days, you bring me rabbits and I'll trade you for squirrels or birds of your choice. All right?" she glinted her eyes playfully.
