OOC: Its no problem with me ;D If Moonie would be willing to be your character's mentor then we can all just jump on in! XD
IC;
Thunderstep waved his tail to Cliffheart, thanking him for letting him handle this. As much as he knew that Kestreleye was his friend, he wasn't sure if the tom would approve of his joining Lionclan. He decided to stick with the story and see if Kestreleye would be willing to forgive him later. "Look you guys," he started, "Just two days ago I left Tigerclan, for a few different reason. Now I just happened to be near the border when the Lionclan cats were there. Seeing as they had just won a battle against us, they took me to their camp for information." He hated lying, but it might be the only way. He continued on, "I met their medicine cat, Darkwhisker." He nodded toward the she-cat before continuing, "She, like the rest, didn't believe me when I told them that they needed to realize that Tigerclan was going to rule the forest. Most of them laughed me off, but Darkwhisker had a dream. From Starclan!" He grinned, sort of untruthfully, "She said that we needed to join you." He turned his head and swept his tail in a large arch, signaling the whole group, "All these young warriors believe her, and her message. They want to join Tigerclan, they want to join us." He turned back to his friend, "I want to take them back to camp and show them the rest of our group." Now he knew that the size of the patrol was a little outrageous. So many young warriors could raise suspicion, but what choice did he have?
Nightfang watched as Thunderstep weaved his tale. She frowned softly and instinctively sought out Bearfur. He amber eyes caught sight of the large brown tom and she instantly felt comforted. She knew that the fight they had earlier might still be on his mind... Well, it might be more relevant to her than him. With a sigh of defeat she wove her way to Bearfur's side. Sitting down beside him dejectedly, she muttered, "This could turn bad, real fast."
Ooc: Is the tiger will win part like Tigerstar becuase he tried to rule the forest many times over... and failed. And sorry about that. I'll delete the post.
Ic: Wolfheart shuddered. As much as she wanted to make peace just one slipped word could get them all inclueding the TigerClan cats killed. She decided to keep her mouth shut for she was still an a apprentic like blabbermouth. Almost as if to prove this thought a leaf drifted down from the trees. "Stay, don't catch it." she was murmuring to herself yet it was to much for her. She leaped up and grabbed it but with it still in her claws she fell down and landed on her back. Then realizing the other cats were there she just gave up and sat there.

Kestreleye sighed in defeat. "I suppose so. I suggest Fawntail and I lead the group back with you flanking us, then they behind you. Two, one, then their number." Looking to his friend seriously for a second, he shook his head to clear away any negative thoughts. "However, there's one more thing that is bothering me." Then he looked towards the cats that currently awaited for their decision to be made. "As much as I'd like to say your plan is fool-proof, it isn't. There is no way that TigerClan would accept some of these cats. They need to become heartless; ferocious. You know how Darkstar is, much to my dismay." Kestreleye's words had a much darker meaning. In human terms, you could consider TigerClan's ways akin to the samurai. Defeat, unless ordered, was shameful, and death was more pleasant than the aforementioned outcome of battle. While not completely heartless, in battle they were considered so. Looking at his friend, he sighed. You've always been a good liar, Thunderstep. I'm trusting you. "But it's your call."
Bearfur shrugged easily and looked towards Nightfang. "All I can say is that if it's getting bad, it's gonna get worse. If it's getting better, it's gonna get worse. There's no turning back now."Letting his head droop, he took in a deep breath and let it out slowly, staring at the TigerClan cats' backs. "We are LionClan," he whispered, "and they are TigerClan. No matter how powerful each of us gets, it will never matter. Because in our own rights, we are the winner." Giving Nightfang a toothy grin, he sat up straight, a little unnerved at himself for his reasonable words.

okay, then. unfortunately loving an idiot who doesn't love me back. but i'm not falling. i just kind of... am. .
Ic: "Can we go now?" Wolfheart asked impaitiently. But then thought of something. "Hey do you think that Thunderstep could lead us with Darkwhisker behind him because it will seem more peaceful with a medicine cat in front with Cliffheart and I behind her with Kestreleiye and Fawntail in the far back with Nightfang and Bearfur in front of them." and she added with a laugh. "You two will need to talk about the future of Forestkit and Juniperkit."

Bearfur sent a warning glance to Wolfheart. He wasn't ready to get in another spat with Nightfang yet, and he wasn't ready to get on another topic that had anything to do with hims or hers. However, instead of berating the she-cat on the topic of kits, he instead decided to focus on the plan at hand. "I believe that is what they are planning right now, Wolfheart. Don't worry about that. Cliffheart and Thunderstep will come up with something." Sighing, he looked apologetically to Nightfang then muttered something like, "'m sucha dee-ott." Which, in reality he was saying, "I'm such an idiot." Bearfur sent Nightfang an apologetic look, grinning sheepishly.

ooc: HAHA, my bad! I'm obviously still a tad confused about this RP, but I'll get the hang of it eventually! hehe. And I'd be HONORED to mentor Goldielocks! hehehe this'll be so much fun! ic: "Yes, it's a good idea for me and Kestreleye to escort in front," Fawntail said, more for the purpose of actually contributing rather than offering something worthy to the table. She'd been awfully quiet around those new cats, but felt siginificantly more comfortable around these two familiar faces. Scuffing her paws against the sod beneath, she wondered whether giving up her birth Clan was going to be as easy as it sounded. But at the same time, LionClan seemed so open and heavenly- maybe a new start was exactly what they all needed.
Nightfang sighed softly, "Don't worry about it." She sent a glare to Wolfheart and sneered, "There isn't a Junpierkit or Forestkit. He was teasing me yesterday. We aren't mates, we aren't having kits. Stop eavesdropping on our conversation." With that she turned forward, she wasn't sure how Wolfheart had gotten the idea that she was actually going to have kits. Couldn't she tell that Bearfur and her were only talking and teasing? Oh well, it didn't matter now anyway. She turned her amber eyes to the patrol's leader and waited for instruction.
Thunderstep nodded to the group, "Well, if this is how we are going to do this, let's go!" With Fawntail and Kestreleye leading the way, the patrol fell in step behind them. Thunderstep hoped that all the cats behind him would just remain quiet and wait until he had spoken before attempting to explain. As the moved on the approached the camp. Thunderstep remember that since Tigerclan had grown in size, they needed a bigger camp. Now the ancient Riverclan camp was double in size, able to accommodate the whole of this patrol. However Kestreleye was right, they weren't as ruthless as they needed to be to pull this ruse off. Before he entered the camp, he allowed Fawntail and Kestreleye to enter. Inside the camp he saw the large group of warriors, training for battle. Their muscles rippled beneath their pelts, power in every motion. Their eyes like blank slates, claw lashing out even during the training. The cats that had been in the border skirmish were now training as well, no rest, not even for the wounded. Only the strong survived. As the patrol entered the camp all eyes turned to them. They had used the lesser entrance, therefore causing a bit of hostility to raise in the eyes of Thunderstep's former clan mates. Ahead of them, perched on a large rock, was Darkstar. The large tom's green eyes glinted with anger at the sight of Thunderstep. He jumped from the rock, his dark tabby pelt rippling. "Thunderstep! What are you doing back here?" He hissed menacingly, "I thought you were told to keep your mangy traitorous pelt out of Tigerclan!" The golden brown tom did not flinch at the leader's words. Instead his own green eyes flared with defiance, "I told you that I was loyal! Now I am here to prove it father!" The clan fell silent and all eyes were on Thunderstep. He hardly ever mentioned that Darkstar was his father, though now standing in front of the whole clan it was obvious. Despite the color of their pelts, the design of stripes and physical characteristics were the same. However, Thunderstep had longer fur, inherited from his mother. Both sets of green eyes flashed with confidence and pride, more often fake on Thunderstep's part. In this instance though, he had to prove to his father that he was not afraid of him. He had endured Tigerclan's training and survived when most of his siblings had not. He did not trust Darkstar, he did not like the way he ruled Tigerclan. He would prove to his father that Lionclan's ways were the ways of old.
Nightfang's jaw dropped for a moment, Thunderstep was Darkstar's son?! They had had the leader's son as their prisoner and now they hand delivered him straight back to his home clan. Nightfang felt that they were in trouble. What is Thunderstep truly was a traitor, what if he had brought the brunt of Lionclan's forces with him to weaken the other clan. Her fur bristled with the thoughts that buzzed in her head. She huddled closer to Bearfur without realizing it.
OOC: Well, as much as I hate to pull the center of the RP toward my character, I figured this would be a fairly good way to make the RP interesting. Let me know what you guys think. P.S. Completely cliche' :D
He didn't feel like a traitor until he walked in the camp, with all eyes on the intruders. Kestreleye watched the whole scene in silence, merely motioning for the other cats to move back and not get in the middle of the current situation. He himself was not one to fight with any TigerClan cats, despite he himself being one. At the moment he stood away from the LionClan cats, staring at the scene with indifference, while inside he was raging. He hated the relationship between the father and son. He saw the sudden uncertainty in the intruder cats' eyes, and understood the circumstance they found themself in. Often, Kestreley had found himself the butt-ends of jokes because he was a friend of Darkstar's, 'unloyal,' son. All of the sudden, he felt like a traitor.
Bearfur looked down at Nightfang and comfortingly rested his head on top of hers for a moment, before once again providing his attention towards the matter at hand. Yes, he was a little appalled that they had not known this. However, at the same time, he still trusted Thunderstep, seeing as they hadn't been mauled yet.

Being much smaller in size, Gingerpaw stepped around some of the bigger warriors to see what was going on. She saw Thunderstep staring definatly at Darkstar, telling him he was back to prove his loyalty. She stared at the group of LionClan cats behind him. Also her mentor, Fawntail, and Kestreleye standing with them. What was going on? She padded forward a bit, but stopped short, decided it would be best to sit and watch everything unfold. She stared at the group of LionClan cats, and watched as one of the cats placed his head on a she-cat in a comforting manner. She felt a stab of jealousy. There never really was much of that in TigerClan, it was always training and fighting. The only cat she truly felt she connected with was Fawntail. And now she felt completely out of the loop.
OOC: I feel like this was such an awkward intro, but I didn't really know what to do. xD
