Celestialstripe lay at the edge of camp,gazing absentmindedly at her hazey tortoiseshell reflection,which was slightly blurred by the ever-moving lake water.She sighed.It was her first day out since they had...moved.
She knew nothing of this territory,and neither did the others.Well,at least it had water.Water was practically Celestialstripe's life.Maybe Duskstar would send her out on patrol.StarClan knew they needed to get to know the territory.

Hawkscar paused at the enterance of the camp, his amber gaze sweeping over the camp's clearing in search of someone. His gaze rested on Celestialstripe and he padded over to her "Hey" He greeted "Duskstar has sent me on a patrol of the terra. I have to explore the lands" He added and paused "You wanna come?" He asked

Celestialstripe blinked and tore her gaze away from the silvery water.She looked over at her brother,smiling slightly."Hi.Talk about mind reading."she muttered blankly."Yeah.Sure."she added,giving her answer shortly afterwards with a nod of her head.Celestialstripe got to her paws and looked out over the lands with interest."I wonder whats out there...."she commented.Being in their new territory was like invading another clans: their scent hadn't taken the place yet, and everything was strange and unfamiliar.And if it weren't for the two-legs,it wouldn't have to be like that.

Hawkscar nodded slightly "I havent been here for very long, and Im already thinking that this is someone else's land" He meowed "But thats why we need to get out there, learn the land and forge it into the Riverclan terra" He meowed before turning to the enterance to the Riverclan camp "Do you want to take your apprentice out? Bloodclan is prowling about and this land is new. It'd give her some training" He added with a glance towards the apprentice's den

Celestialstripe nodded darkly.BloodClan was gaining power at an alarming speed now."And raccoons are everywhere."she added with a sigh."So yeah,thats a good idea."With that,she turned her head so that she was gazing back at the rest of the camp.Her emerlad green eyes scanned the clearing,looking for Seapaw's familiar gray shape."Seapaw!"she called.

Seapaw glanced up from the plant she was prodding at to see who had called her name. Seeing her mentor, she padded over to the two warriors and dipped her head in greeting "Hello Hawkscar, Celestialstripe" She meowed and waited for what it was that she was called over for.
Hawkscar said nothing in reply, only dipped his head in greeting and waited for the others to go.

Celestialstripe smiled slightly."Hey,Seapaw,"she greeted with a nod."Up for some exploring?Duskstar wants us to scout the territory."she meowed, motioning across the lake to emphasize this.

Seapaw's eyes lit up "Yeah!" She meowed "That sounds great, it'll give me a chance to do something other then poke around at the cattails, we could stalk up on fresh-kill too" She added with a tilt of her head towards the fresh-kill pile
Hawkscar sighed "Seems like theres a lot to do, we should start going now so we can get back in time to sleep" He meowed and padded towards the camp's enterance

Celestialtail gave a little snort of agreement and humor, and turned."Come on,Seapaw."she beckoned, and trotted after Hawkscar.Once they reached the water's edge, Celestialtail dove in without a second thought.Though the lake water felt strangley light and smooth, being in the water still felt natural to the she-cat.She headed towards the opposite bank,out into the unknown.
TO:RC Terra!

Hawkscar paused at the water's edge, his eyes narrowed at the bright surface of the water. "Right. You swim....I'll walk" He meowed and bounded off along the shor-line, still refusing to accept the new terra as his own.
Seapaw dapped a paw into the water, her eyes watching her mentor swimming ahead of her. She sighed and waded into the water, soon after kicking in the current to follow her mentor to the unknown shores ahead.

Celestialstripe sighed as she watchedher brother stubbornly head along the shoreline."Whats the matter,Hawkscar?Afraid of getting wet?"she called to him,teasing gently.She swam faster, front paws paddling and pulling through the water,and her back legs kicking in hard motion,yet never breaking the water's surface in apparent ease.Celestialstipe,as most RiverClan cats did, swam doggy-paddle style.But,unlike others,she had learned to swim from watching actual dogs.Smiling lightly at the memory,Celestialstripe sped along,veering towards the bank and keeping most of her head out of the water so that she was swimming alongside Hawkscar.A serious frown was in place now on the tortoiseshell,her fur now darkened from being wet,she-cat's muzzle."Hawkscar...you have to get used to this."she told him sadly."I know you don't like it.No one does.But,the fact is,we're never going to get our old home back.And I know that you know that,but I don't think you've accepted it yet.I'm not sure I even have.But we have to try..."she sighed,her voice gentle but firm.

As the gental taunt came his way, the flame-colored tom's ears tilted back but he never stopped his walking. Hawkscar narrowed his eyes as his sister sawm closer and began to speak again, at first he didnt react to her words he just kept walking onward. His eyes glued to his destintaion, finally he turned to her "This place isnt condisered a 'home'" He growled "Not until we know this place like we knew Riverclan"
Seapaw flicked her ears in confusion as Celestialstripe veered off course and began swimming towards Hawkscar. She sighed as she slowed her pace by Hawkscar, the apprentice made no move to follow her mentor and narrowed her eyes slightly as the other side of the shore came into veiw. She kicked harder until her paws met the loose rock in the lake bed and the apprentice pulled herself out of the water. Water dropplets dripping down the silver cats flank.

"But this IS RiverClan.It is now."Celestialstripe muttered, but said no more as the shore camp into view.Without waiting for a reply,she sped away from her brother and scrambled tosolid ground beside Seapaw.She gave her pelt a small shake to rid it of dampness and then waited for Hawkscar to pad over to the shore.Celestialstripe looked aroundin awe.These lands were so new to her...and so strange.And yet....they were her new home.Even if she didn't want to accept it,she had to.

Seapaw eyed her mentor "Its all new" She meowed "But in no time we'll have this place all figured out" She added, talking more to herself then she was to her mentor. She padded towards a huge black and brown thing sticking out one side of the shore "Hey look at this" She meowed over her shoulder to her mentor.
Hawkscar's ears pricked when he get to the she-cats though he hadnt heard a word they said...he only heard the sounds of the winds brushing the grasses and the mutter of the lake beside him. He turned his gaze to the meadow in the distance whith narrowed eyes, unseathing and seathing his claws against the rocks. Finally he turned to Seapaw and his sister without seeing them, his gaze still off in the distance.

Celestialstripe nodded to Seapaw's comment.Her ears pricked as her apprentice called her name, and she cast a worried glance at Hawkscar.She opened her mouth to say something to him,momentarily frozen by her brother's expression.But then,she clamped her mouth shut,shaking her head sadly,and turning to bound over to Seapaw.Her eyes widened slightly As she surveyed the item with skeptical confusion."What is it?"she asked after a moment,cautiously leaning forward and sniffing the thing.
