Sparrowfeather and Echosong are going out on patrol!

Their prompt is: Battle against the Eagle!

MountainClan, Opponent: Eagle
1. Battle
2. Battle
3. Scent Identification (all apprentices roll 1d10, if they land on an even number, they're able to correctly identify the scent as (insert prey type here, ex: a mouse). If they roll an odd number, they cannot identify any specific prey nearby.)
4. Battle
5. Oops! Encounter (While scouring the not-so-dry woods, thanks to the recent rainfall of the warmer months, your patrol stumbles upon a large mud pit! Your cats struggle a while before they manage to escape the heavy murk, but their pelts are too clotted and heavy to do any productive patrolling. Time to find a stream to rinse off in and head back to camp for the day.)
6. Battle
7. Battle

Sparrowfeather stepped lightly and picked her way cautiously across the rocky terrain of MountainClan. Ever since Tigersun had warned them of the ferocious bird that had been stalking their territory, Sparrowfeather had been on high alert. Bright blue eyes were constantly searching the skies for any signs of danger. So far, all of her patrols had turned out to be uneventful and Sparrowfeather hoped they would stay that way.

After another check of the sky, her blue eyes turned to the older tom she was patrolling with, Echosong. Guilt settled into her stomach as she realized she didn't know much about her clanmate other than he had become a warrior back in the days of the draught. Sparrowfeather was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't see the movement above her. It wasn't until the eagle was almost upon her that the golden she-cat realized she was in danger.

With a hiss of surprise Sparrowfeather turned to face the eagle, her fur fluffed and her claws unsheathed.

(Sparrowfeather misses the eagle!)

Echosong wasn't really anything special, he was a decent warrior, an okay hunter, nothing any cat would brag about knowing him about anyway, he was just an average guy, a hard working member of the clan, he'd seen a lot of sorrow in recent times though and he regretted that he hadn't gotten to know some of the other warriors better, now there would be no getting to know them at all and he held the sadness of that in his heart so much that he stopped singing for a while, at least, publicly, it had just not seemed right anymore.

However his heart felt a little lighter today, patrolling with the young shecat Sparrowfeather, it was nice, he'd been busy humming a little tune to himself, quietly of course, as they patrolled, he was about to open his mouth to speak to her when a shadow fell across them... He was slow to react and it almost got Sparrowfeather before he could do anything, but because the eagle had been focusing on the shecat, he was able to leap at it and get a swipe in at it, feeling claws catch as he jumped. He landed beside Sparrowfeather. "Are you ok?" he asked, looking at her all over to see if she was wounded at all.

[Cats of the Sun]

The eagle had been soaring high, its sharp eyes peering through the wisps of clouds for movement on the rocks below. Suddenly, there! It would have been hard for a fledgling to spot them, these mountain cats with their pelts of sand and stone, but not for them. The mighty eagle clicked its beak eagerly and banked, slipping beneath the clouds silently its talons reach to snatch its prey.

So confident was it in its stealth that it let out a victorious cry just as its talons sunk deep into the sandy cat's fur.

Sparrowfeather was about to answer Echosong that she was fine when the eagle's talons sank into her. A scream of pain burst from her, louder than even she thought possible. Her eyes were wide with terror as she realized the massive bird had chosen her as it's prey.

"HELP!" She screamed to her clanmate as she tried to twist out of the predator's grasp. Though she tried to slash at the creature holding her, Sparrowfeather was more focused on getting free than actually doing damage to her assailant.

"NO!" screamed Echosong, as the eagle grabbed Sparrowfeather, he might have got a hit in but the cursed bird had his clanmate, he knew what those talons could do, he ran and chased, leaping to try and get at one of the eagle's legs, to force it to drop Sparrowfeather but he missed, just. "BITE IT'S LEG SPARROWFEATHER" he called, as he chased, trying no to let the bird and his clanmate out of his sight.

The powerful wings flapped, trying to lift the sandy she-cat off the rocks. But the pesky stone-colored tom had decided to try and lose its prey! The angry hunter pecked at him, slashing at him with a razor-sharp beak.

Fear gripped her just as hard as the eagle on her back as the flying predator tried to lift her off the ground. No part of her training had prepared her for this. Bubblepelt had taught her to swim and fish, not fight angry birds! Oh, how was she going to get out of this? Sparrowfeather continued to twist and turn, throwing wild slashes at the eagle's body that never met their mark.

"I'm trying to- Watch out!" She called to Echosong as she caught sight of him before the eagle blocked her view.

(Sparrowfeather missed!)

Damn... this bird, it moved quickly as he chased, turning the tables on him and pecking, he didn't have a chance to duck or move out of the way, even encumbered with Sparrowstar, it managed to be swifter than the seasoned Warrior.

However, it now being close meant that Echosong could claw at it's chest, which he did so, hoping it would let the shecat go. "Featherbrain" he spat as he raked his forepaws at it, intending to distract it with words, as well as with attacks, if he could keep it's focus on him, if it dropped Sparrowfeather, if it didn't somehow kill him first... there were a lot of IFs but ifs were hopes too.

Sparrowfeather twisted this way and that, trying with all her might to free herself from the eagle's mighty talons. For a single moment the small golden warrior had managed to wiggle herself out of the birds grip. Turning her attention to her attacker instead of trying to free herself, Sparrowfeather lashed out with her claws, just barely missing the flesh under the feathers.

Her shouts of pain started anew as the eagle found a new hold on her. "It's too powerful! Save yourself Echosong!" Sparrowfeather screamed as the panic set in once more. There was no way she was going to escape this monster of a bird. The only hope she really had now was that her clanmate wouldn't suffer the same fate she was about to meet.

Echosong's stomach felt like it did a flip when Sparrowfeather managed to wriggle free, only to be caught moments later, he kept on at the eagle, he would NOT lose his clanmate to this creature if he could help it. "Not a chance Sparrow" he called when she told him to save himself, not when he had already wounded it, even if only a little, he would give Sparrow every ounce of his being to try and save her. He screeched and jumped at the bird again, aiming to rip out feathers, to ground it hopefully.

Hearing that her clanmate had her back and wouldn't abandon her, a flash of confidence shot through her. With a determination she'd never felt before, Sparrowfeather lashed out with her claws until she felt them rake flesh. She took a deep breath to try to settle her mind like mother had taught her. Perhaps they could injure this beastly bird enough to escape.

Echosong yowled as the eagle hit him, but that distraction had seemed to be enough for Sparrowfeather to get, which put an idea in his head, he leaped at the bird, but because it could fly, and he couldn't, he missed, and missed hard, hitting the ground awkwardly "HEY FEATHERBRAIN" he screamed at it .. maybe he could distract it enough for Sparrow to get away to safety.

It was late in the fight but Sparrowfeather had finally found her focus. As her clanmate called out at the eagle, the small she-cat took the opportunity to latch onto the birds wing with her fangs. This bird wasn't the only predator in these mountains. Just like herself, it could also be prey. Sparrowfeather felt a bit wild as she bit as hard as she could into the wing in her maw.

Echosong laughed at the eagle, goading it as Sparrowfeather bit its wing, he tried darting in with an attack of his own but he missed, still he danced just within its striking range, taunting it "stupid bird, couldnt catch a dead rat" he knew it was dangerous and he and Sparrowfeather were wearing down fast but either they ran the bird off, or he would die trying to defend his clanmate... hopefully the former, he wanted a mate, kits, scars and stories to tell before he joined Sunclan

Ha! It was the eagles turn now! Time to see how it liked being taken a hold of. Sparrowfeather kept her fangs in the eagle's wing as she raked the feathers with her claws. Silently she cheered Echosong on. From what she could hear, he was managing to doge the sharp beak and talons of the vicious bird. If they could just keep this up...
