((Cats in the morning hunting patrol should post here. These cats are Fawnstep, Ravenfeather, Falconclaw, Flamefang, Quietpaw, Icepaw, and Hazelpaw.))
The sun had risen over the gorge, casting the early morning light on one side while the other remained shrouded in shadows. The dull orange-brown rock seemed to light up blindingly, shining in the eyes of a SkyClan warrior as he led a group of other cats up the pathway to the top of the gorge. As they passed the warriors den, he cast his eyes in wistfully as he searched for the sleeping form of his mate, wishing he was still curled with her in their nest. But he had a job to do this morning. There was no time for sleeping when he had a patrol to lead and a Clan to feed. Ashflower and the kits -- now apprentices -- needed to eat, and so did the rest of the Clan.
Hawkfoot led his hunting patrol up to the top of the gorge and set his sights on the forest that was always prey-rich, flicking his tail for the others to follow him. There were both warriors and apprentices in his patrol, and there were several of them altogether. The rest of the Clan would soon be waking and they would want fresh prey to eat. With so many cats in Hawkfoot's patrol, the Clan would certainly have plenty until the next patrol went out later.
They reached the forest with little conversation, and Hawkfoot came to a stop. "Okay, everyone," he said, turning to look at the others. "We'll split up here. A patrol this large would scare off all the prey. Quietpaw and Ravenfeather can come with me. Falconclaw, you can take Hazelpaw with you, and Fawnstep, Flamefang, and Icepaw can all go together. Sound good?" He waited to see if there were any objections to this before he give the signal to depart, looking over each of his patrol members in turn.
