Fireclaw walked beside Seapaw with a bright playful grin. His amber eyes were alight with excitement as they crested a small hill in the lumpy forest terrain. They had found a small stream that trickled down from the mountain and were following it toward the sundrown place. After a few moments the tree opened up in to a large beuatiful glade the fell away in to the background. Running long side the glade was the stream which rapidly grew from the small stream in to a sparkling river. Fronds and tree grew near and around the bank suppliying perfect cover. This was all to good to be true. They had found a forest area, a river and the glade acted like Windclan's old territory. The only thing that were missing was the marshes. Fireclaw looked around rather quickl trying to spot the wetland terrain but was unable to locate anything like it. "Cant always have it all..." he frowned. With a sigh he turned to his companions and purred, "What about this place? We could have our camp near teh edge of the forest so the Windclan cats dont feel bunched in and the Thunderclan cats will feel at home."
Willowsong's eyes sparkled in the sunshine. "And next to the river too! Oh, this is perfect! Nice job Fireclaw!" She raced ahead, sniffing around near where the glade and the forest met, and she found a sheltered spot that touched the river too. "It's perfect! Let's go tell the others and get them to come here, now! We can mark the trees so we know how to get back too!" Willowsong was talking at a mile a minute, her eyes shining like the river.

"Everyone dies eventually. Once you are born, you begin to die."
"That was not comforting either!"
"It is the way of the Creed. Usually our deaths are violent but quick."
Fireclaw nodded enthusiastically. Immediatly he began rubbing himself against rocks and large bushes near the river. Trotting easily with a large smirk on his face, he went back to the trees and scent marked them as well. A scent hit his nose for a second, it was the faint smell of baders. He knitted his brows. He knew it was all to good to be this easy. He bristled to himself and swore he would defend this new territory from some stupid old badger. They had gone through to much to give up this quickly. He marked even more trees before heading back to Willowsong with the report, "I found a faint badger scent but they may be a ways off from here."
"Hmm. Well, it might be more than one, so we'll get the rest of our group, come here, and we'll investigate then. We don't want to lose anyone." Willowsng nodded with the practicality of the idea, and moved off, marking some more trees on their route to the rest of the group. Soon she lost her patience though, and raced ahead, trusting her intuition to take her back to the glade. "Guys!" she yowled when she neared the makeshift camp.

Frostbreeze looked around to see Graystreak. She picked up the large black snake she had caught and meowed "Look at this huge snake I caught when you were gone!" She waited for him to reply to her. She dropped the snake at her paws and then looked back up and turned her blue gaze on Graystreak. She wondered if this was one of the colors he had said not to catch. she couldn't remember at the moment so she tried to think of something else. She thought of her old home on the moorland.
Ghostfur's head popped up when he heard Willowsong's yowl. She seemed really excited. Perhaps they found an ideal place to live! He stood up, facing the pretty she cat. "What is it, Willowsong?" he asked. "Did you find a place to live?" He gave a little jump for happiness, then camled himself down. He was acting like a kit.
"Yes! Yes we did~" She almost sang out as she raced into the makeshift camp. "I want us to settle in there now, so let's go! Let's get out of this makeshift excuse for a camp and go for our real one! It's perfect! There's a forest, with pines, and undergrowth, and a river, and a glade, and a nice little hollow where the four connect, and there's places for dens, and everything!" Willowsong barely stopped to breathe.

Ghostfur smiled. "Awesome." He walked over to the fresh kill pile and picked up as much fresh kill as he could. He mouth was stuffed and he had prey all over his back. He looked lik an idoit "Gake ge go ghere." he said, trying to make out the words to 'Take me to there'. He laughed, piling saliva onto the fresh kill. He walked over back to the former deputy and waited for her orders.
Willowsong burst out laughing and turned around, bolting away. She passed Fireclaw, and yowled, "Get the others!" she grinned madly and sped by, heading straight back for the soon-to-be camp. I'm going to make nests and everything, and it'll be perfect!" As she was running, her back leg sent small pangs of pain to her, but she ignored it, assuming it was some thorn stuck in her paw pad. She reached the new camp and grinned, panting, waiting for Ghostfur.

Graystreak walked over to Frostbreeze looking back to hear Willowsong call. Wondering if he should go he shrugged and sat next to Frsotbreeze. His eyes stretched wide as he saw the snake she had caught standing up and bristling he stared at her and shook his head. "No! Are you crazy those snakes are poisoness!" he hissed and pushed her away from the snake. Seeing that it was already dead he flicked his tail for the she-cat to follow and headed toward the direction of the camp. "we need to find herbs before that poison kills you." he hissed and started running.
