Talonclaw is a brave, swift, and smart AirClan warrior. He has been a warrior for only about 3 moons and tensions are at a breaking point for all clans and they must be ready. His littermate Skystorm and Sunstripe, a warrior a few moons older from him, are his 2 best friends.

" Talonclaw, you will join Grassfoot and Sunstripe on todays patrol", meowed the large silvery furred tom Silverboulder. Talonclaw enjoyed hunting better than patrolling and was probably one of the forest's best hunters. He still remember last moon when he caught 3 sparrows, a squirrel, and 4 mice in just one hunt; it was enough to feed the whole clan. But, he knew he still had to patrol no matter how good at hunting he was.

The patrol went well until the EarthClan border. They were exspecially hostile with EarthClan, a great battle took place just a few suns before he was born. It was very sad for AirClan, Coldcloud, our old leader, his head warrior Sharpboulder, 2 warriors, and 1 apprentice had died in that battle. The saddest part for Talonclaw was that his dad, Mudpelt, had died in the battle. He was thankful his mom Blackwing was still alive, but she retired to the elders den after his apprentice ceremony; after all, we were her 3rd litter! Anyway, the patrol met an EarthClan patrol and many threats and insults were being flailed at eachother.

"You dirty, old badger!", Talonclaw yelled at Mountainhead, a senior warrior of EarthClan, while Sunstripe and Silverboulder were arguing with 2 other EarthClan warriors.

" Silence, AirClan, we have work to do, enought with these EarthClan fools!" yowled Grassfoot and the AirClan patrol sped away into the undergrowth next to the path.

Talonclaw went hunting by himself a sunpoint (hours) after he was done patrolling. I wonder if I can catch more than i did yesterday! Talonclaw recalled his hunting trip yesterday where he only caught a small mice. As Talonclaw silently stalked through the bushes and trees of the forest, heading for Tall Tree, the biggest tree in the forest where many squirrels wandered, he noticed the smell of his old mentor Eaglefang; but something was...wrong. Talonclaw shifted throught the low leaves of a Bramble bush and saw his mentor, bathed in blood... dead! He suddenly paniced, he knew one thing for sure, he smelled EarthClan, they had been here... on AirClan territory! He knew that he could pick up his wise mentor's body later, he had to find the invaders!

Talonclaw followed the musty EarthClan scent through a grassy path of Willow trees that led directly to the border. ''Those cowards fled!!! ''There is nothing left Taloncaw could do, so he went back to the place his mentor died and weeping a little for his lost mentor, one who had always felt like a father to him, was brutally murdered by an EarthClan patrol. He realized that by the scent of death and EarthClan that this occured just while Talonclaw was out patrolling. It was the patrol I meant earlier that got him!!!!!!!!!! Talonclaw thought he had recognized Mountainhead's scent; but it was hard to distinguish any of the EarthClan's scent from one another.

Talonclaw continued to drag the large, limp body of his late mentor back to the AirClan camp for his funeral ceremony. His sister, Rayherb, would be devastated!!! And his kits Blackkit, Weedkit, and Rabbitkit would also be devastated!!! It would be harder for them than it was for Talonclaw because they had known their father. Poor kits! And I shouldn't forget Eaglefang's mate Swiftwing!

As Talonclaw approached the AirClan camp he heard the delighted squeals of his deceased mentor's kits playing. It ws painful to imagine that, while they were having the time of their little lives playing with a ball of moss, They learn that their dad had been killed by an enemy patrol.

"I will avenge the death of my mentor and the pain of his kin!", Talonclaw vowed to himself. Talonclaw dragged the body in, he was releived to realize that the kits had gone inside their den to rest. Talonclaw dragged the body, tiredly and greivingly, to Moorstar, who was discussing something to Silverboulder and Windfoot. Moorstar's eyes bulged sadly when he saw Talonclaw with Eaglefang, the whole clan knew that Moorstar was exceptionally close to Eaglefang.

" What happened!", Moorstar demanded, his voice soft and cracking with grief and despair. Talonclaw explained what happened and mopily reatreated to his den. He didn't want to see Eaglefang's kits learn of his death.
