The brown tabby had been sleeping all day, closely to Mumblesong. His nose gently rested near her flank. There was something soothing against the rise and fall of her flank that put Mudjaw at ease. He blinked slowly as the sun began to set, and there was no moon in the sky. The only light they had was from the stars, everything else was incredibly dark. He looked down at the sleeping she-cat his eyes soft. Good byes were hard for him, he didn’t know how this other clan would act at all, he didn’t even know if he could come back alive, so the brown tabby decided a subtly good bye was best. He gave the she-cat a gentle nose between the ears, doing his best not to wake her, and padded ever so carefully into the clearing.
Those who had night guard and night patrols hadn’t taken off yet, instead they gathered, a serious expression on their faces. This was an incredible honor, to represent IvyClan in such a strenuous task…he took in a nervous gulp, his amber eyes trailing to Larkbeat and Bettlepaw. In a bundle of leaves laid many herbs, most he had seen before. He knew that one bundle for him, the other for Rookheart. Over the past quarter moon, he had gotten to know the tom, after all they could be traveling for moons together, and it would be best to get to know him. The other cats would have to work together if this was to work.
With reluctancey the brown tabby tom ate the travelling herbs. He didn’t know when they would be stopping to rest or eat even, nor did he know how far away exactly this other clan was. All he knew was that they were meeting at the top of MistClans territory. Hopefully they would all be able to come up with a plan that would work. He turned his large frame to face Owlstar and Roseblaze, his eyes burning with determination. “We will come back….” He mewed. “I promise…tell…Tell Mumblesong to be safe.” He closed his eyes tightly, he had to come home, if not for him, but for her and the safety of IvyClan.
Without looking back he pushed himself through the camp entrance, it was now or never. The more he dwelled on leaving, the less he wanted to go, and he wasn’t about to let his leader down. With all the warriors she could have picked, it was him, and that to the young warrior went a long way. The walk to Mistclan was a quiet one. Perhaps Rookheart was also deep in thought about the journey. Mudjaws mind was racing a mile a minute. He didn’t know what to think about it. Perhaps they would all come back without a scratch, but he doubted it.
His thoughts were interrupted by the croaking of frogs, and the overwhelming scent of Mistclan. Had he just crossed the border without even knowing? He took in a deep breath at least MistClan knew everyone was coming. He sat at the top of the hill looking around, frogs croaked, crickets chirped, and the only light they had was the light of the stars. He shifted uncomfortably on his paws, it was too late to turn back now. Soon MistClan would be here, and soon MothClan. He felt a bitter taste in his mouth, starting to be unsure of the situation. There had really been no debating, just a unison agreement that this had to be done. “Now we wait….” He whispered. Tonight was the beginning of a new time, and the end to an old one.
