ooc: Pssst, Sydney and Yellow are needed too*
Rumbling roar of a wake up call. Distant thunder, how it wakes the sleeping emotions of any cat. How it makes the heart tremble! How it forces unwilling movement of muscles! The wind moves him less, ruffling only his fur but not piercing the skin nor the wells of his tumultuous heart. The same could be said for the rain which was cold in its stray droplets that ran between the thin trails in his fur. To think, here he stood, windblown, rain-drenched, and he could not possibly be prouder. But this pride was not for his two squirming daughters, strong and healthy, safe and warm inside their cozy little den, but rather for three incredible she-cats that had been a true joy, a passionate one too, to train.
Lizardeye was unmoved as ever by the elements. The darkness, which had blotted out any glimmer of dawn or morning light, was of no concern to him. In fact, it was better suited for their intentions this very day. As he waited patiently for their apprentices, plus one, whom they had sent Twistedclaw to call for, he could think only of the satisfaction that training these cats had brought him. They were truly talented, and with his help, they could only be more skilled. Today, he would learn their full capabilities. He knew it would put a strain on them. All the extra work would tire them perhaps to their limits. But he wanted to know everything they had learned, and he could see no other way than to extend their assessment. One might call him obsessive, but he preferred what Snaketail had called it... "thorough".
"They're on their way!" the smallest tabby grunted, responding to the curious look of his tallest brother.
He sat on Snaketail's right, his fur ruffled from the wind, and his body stubbornly still despite the cool rain. The darkness the clouds were giving was a blessing really. He could not stand that blinding gray that so often came with rain. He knew it would come later though. This was no serious storm, despite its blackness. The Sun would easily change the shade of the clouds by high-sun if not before. They had better use the darkness to their advantage.
