Dark emerald eyes flickered across the swamp. It had been almost foggy by the time she had got where she was and the fog had gotten worse. Maybe I shouldn't have come this way. It isn't exactly soft and dry. In fact it wasn't at all dry the swamp water stuck to her like thorns. The Rogueclan wasn't far away and a foul stench a while back had told her she had crossed her own border with the Rogue's. She trudged onwards pushing her way through the swamp that felt like bile.
She continued forwards with suspicious eyes; it wasn't exactly safe to be in her ex-clans territory on such bad terms with them. She hadn't left with much grace either. She had actually attacked the Leader only after a moon of staying with the Clan. Darkhearts intentions weren't exactly for the whole Clan. Most of his cats weren't exactly looked after and Touslepelt only saw them as expendable play things that a kittypet got off their twoleg owner. Hopefully, none of her kits had tried to follow her. they had to learn she supposed but it wasn't the right time or the right place for them to practice their tracking skills. She had only been gone half a day and half the time Deathfire worried about her. Eternals paws were roughened but even her tough paws were raw from the cold wintery season.
She shook her fur and lick dried the wetness of her fur; she automatically shivered. The taste was awful but it kept her warmer than she had been. A noise interrupted her thoughts and she jumped around as if ready to be attacked she sighed, Stupid idiot! she scolded herself silently it was only the sound of a frog on a waterlily. She batted it to the side thoughtlessly and stood on some dry land looking for a place to lie down. She yawned after a few antagonizing minutes looking for a place to lie she hadn't gotten far but she hadn't had anything to eat before she'd left. She'd only come for a stroll to get the best of the fresh air away from the cave...she hadn't realised she'd come so far and only a malicious bitter thought had made her continue through the RogueClan territory on the hopes of meeting a Rogueclan cat. She hoped secretly though that she wouldn't at all and could turn around and go home however, it had stirred in her mind that Touslepelt might not stop at trying to take over the Clan's forest but the Loners territory as well and she wouldn't let that happen. So in coming out here she hoped that a gossipy rogue would come about and tell her what Darkheart's 'orders' (As it were) are. Eternal sat thankfully letting her stinging paws rest a few moments... only the adrenaline rush of a battle could probably keep them going.
OOC: I got bored... Sorry if its a tinsy bit too long I kinda wanted to keep writing and writing.

OOC: Darkheart takes very good care of his Clan, thank you. He made a difficult decision for complicated reasons. *indignant frown* I will post soon but right now I have to go... It's 4:30 PM and I still haven't gotten dressed...

Everything was silent and cold, a winter's night if ever there was one. The frost over everything was thin and brittle due to the lateness of the season, but the wind that whipped past was frigid as ever. The swamp's waters, freezing but not covered in ice, felt like they were burning Darkheart's paws as he slipped through the night. His emerald eyes were partway closed against the rushing air that somehow did nothing to clear the fog and it was hard to see far in the misty darkness. Relying mostly on his sense of smell, the small black leader breathed deeply in. It was hard to tell anything apart and nothing could be scented downwind, but there was no other way to know the surroundings. Of course, being RogueClan's leader had taught Darkheart every path in this forest marshland, but memories couldn't predict changes or trespassers.
As the tomcat came into a little place where the water deepened and the trees thinned, he caught the distinct loner smell. And beneath that categorized scent, there was something familiar... an ex-RogueClanner, most likely. A she-cat, he noted as he breathed in again. He was about to call out and ask the name of the cat when he came into view of her. She was resting her paws, looking somewhat tired, and he suddenly knew who she was - Eternal. He didn't have any important memories about her, but faintly recalled her leaving angrily. Had he threatened her not to come back? He didn't keep details like this in his mind, so he spoke.
"Why are you hear, loner?"

Eternals head turned to where Darkheart stood. Well, I was hoping that a gossipy loner might bob along but you'll do as fine as any I suppose. she said slyly to the RogueClan Leader. She stood up; it hadn't been long she'd been resting for or as long as she'd hoped for and she hadn't to tell the truth expected Darkheart himself to come along.
She yawned tiredly and waited for his response. The cold wisp along the tree's meant that they weren't going to be found by anyone unles they could smell through the thick mist.

"Looking for gossip? I thought that was only for elders, Eternal." His taunt was in response to hers, challenging the loner into a battle of insults. He loved to exchange teasing words with a prospect opponent before an actual fight started. He started moving, not towards her as much as in a circle. He kept his eyes on her, ready to attack or defend. "Anything more interesting about your appearance?" he asked, his voice threatening but not insistent. He knew that there was more but was just as well aware that she would never tell him.

Eternal grinned. Still with the insults I see.. I take it Touslepelt hasn't killed you off then.. she mewed thoughtfully. Perhaps, Touslepelt and Darkheart were good friends but she had seen the doubt in his eyes they had last spoken. I came here seeking gossip to see if I could find anything about your war mongering plans... the last I looked you were on the verge of attacking ShadowClan and it seems it worked. she mewed watching her ex-leader not letting him get behind her.
Doubt had flickered in the toms eyes before about Touslepelt she had hoped it had made him more wary of the other leader. (It is leader right?) She stepped more to the right and anticipated Darkhearts moves. She wouldn't tell h im she was worried about her home that would just be an absolutely ridiculous thing to do.

"You are a loner now. I don't go about telling my Clan's business to trespassers." The words came out in a hiss, low and deadly. His emerald eyes were sharp and calculating, moving in response to Eternal's steps. It was a dance, full of careful choreography and dangerous grace. He still wasn't sure whether an actual fight would break out, but he wasn't going to be caught unprepared. Her mention of Touslepelt made him think about the other leader, much deadlier than Darkheart himself. This wasn't obvious - in fighting, the two were almost matched. But Touslepelt's heart was many times colder than RogueClan's head. The army was larger than RogueClan, and with no camp or ties, no kits, nothing to grasp onto while fighting. It was larger in area and Darkheart needed the resources of ShadowClan land. He had hated himself for the choice he'd made, but he had made it. He wasn't going to go back until he felt the time had come.

That I am. Well observed. she mewed voice calm and placid. I feel that if I had stayed in RogueClan I would have been dead long ago. she mewed stabbing at the many fights Rogueclan had with ShadowClan. In truth, Eternal was an average fighter but it was her brains that got her out of trouble. She was agile enough to dodge attacks but when it came to fighting she could only think of a few plans involving physical objects.

"Really? You're so weak that your fled from my Clan to be some peace-loving little loner?" His tone was scornfully incredulous, it's sharp edge pointing out how cowardly that was. Darkheart knew that Eternal was talking about his agreement with Touslepelt, and that ticked him off considerably. She thought she knew more about his difficult choice than he did - but that's not true. She hasn't thought everything through in the was a leader is trained to, he pointed out to himself angrily. Many cats thought his job was easy, it wasn't just this annoying loner.

I'm not a 'Peace-loving little loner' she retorted I'm far better off than I have been in your clan...but enough of that or would you like to keep insulting me? she mewed adrenaline making her legs almost alive themselves. She had only come to see where Touslepelt had aimed to hit next; it seemed he only wanted to attack the Clans for now. Unfortunately, I really don't have the time to do the pleasantries with my ex-leader. she mewed making her leave. Eternal didn't turn around if she did she would probably get attacked from behind.. which overall was worse.

{Sorry Dreamy! Eternal isn't that foolish to come into a hostile territory and be attacked! }
A twig snapped behind Eternal and the she-cat twisted around. I'm surprised... can your apprentices not keep quiet now? she hissed towards her ex-leader. Birchpaw was well hidden, if the twig hadn't snapped she wouldn't have heard her. Either you come out or I'll attack first young one. she mewed coldly; which was true she would attack anyone who dared sneak up on her.

Darkheart's voice took on a new, more threatening tone as he responded to Eternal's phrases, which weren't quite aimed at him. "If you are idiot enough to come into my territory and then start a fight, I will have no mercy in dealing with you. Scurry home, little mouse - if you come again you will be hunted." The apprentice's arrival caused this change more than Eternal's behavior - Darkheart would never kill another, but no one knew this. Letting a loner free after winning a fight would just leave the loner feeling lucky, whereas letting one free in front of a Clanmate would make him look weak and soft. It used to be that cats still considered him evil, but now the forest was populated with felines who killed without cause or care, and those cats Darkheart looked down upon. The rogue leader did not believe in StarClan or any of that religious idiocy of the Four Clans, but he did take the destroying of life seriously. He had done an excellent job of hiding his little 'issue', though, so no other, except his mate, knew. His emerald eyes now showed deadly anger, as if Eternal's comment had touched some nerve. He moved forward a step, pretending that she was not the taller one, and glared at the black she-cat.
