Bare paws clung to the surface of a large boulder, its mossy exterior riddled with pock marks and holes from its long weather worn life. The stone was cool under its green cloak which was a welcome feeling to the hairless toes that sat atop it. The wiry furred cat was hunched comfortably on the rock, large eyes gazing out at the expanse with slit pupils. 

This place was new to the tom. It was untouched, as far as he knew, and held many new things to discover. Maybe even new faces to meet and friends to make! For now, though, Opossum simply sat perched atop his rock. Even the skittering of a lizard did not bring the male down. He wasn't hungry, a fat mouse had seen to that, so why bother chasing after the reptile.

There was something comforting about this place. It had the normally energetic tom basking in silence on his throne. It was...odd.

Leading a small patrol, Valiantstride headed away from the group for a moment. He caught the scent of something unfamiliar and wanted to check it out. Hawkfall, his clanmate, offered to join him but the golden blotched-tabby declined. He was sure-footed enough to make it away from any hostile cat if needed. In fact, he trusted his voice to carry and Hawkfall's keen ears to hear him out. Dipping his head and passing the mantle of patrol leadership to Hawkfall, Valiantstride tracked the scent. 

Following after it, his claws unsheathed, his eyes search for any sign of an intruder. After a moment of tracking, he wondered if the wind had played a trick on him and there was nothing to find. Then he saw him. Sitting handsomely on the stone was the figure of a cat. Confident the cat was young, Valiantstride diverted from his course and headed for the boulder. 

Careful to approach the border head on to alert the perched cat, Valiantstride tasted no scent of LightningClan. Knowing he could easily handle the lounging loner, Valiantstride cleared his throat before speaking. 

"This is StoneClan territory, it's best you scurry home,"  His tone carried well in the airy terrain. He knew the cat had to hear him. Waiting for a reply, Valiantstride continued to stand and watch.

You're my end and my beginning, even when I lose I'm winning.
'Cause I give you all of me, and you give me all of you, oh oh
