Galepaw
Riverclan Apprentice
It’s been a rough couple of months.
The large black and gray tom was making his way out of the apprentices den, his fur was fluffed up due to the fall weather approaching. Light blue eyes were scanning the area, searching for his brothers. It had been a few moons since Snowstar had departed from the clans, leaving her mate and kits in Riverclan. Galepaw knew that his father Edge was doing his best to make sure that Galepaw and the rest of his siblings still had a somewhat normal childhood. Thankfully, his uncles Sleekfeather, Blackthorn and Aunt Desertriver had been helping Edge too.
After much convincing from Galepaw, Jaypaw and Sleetpaw.. Edge finally was allowing his sons to leave camp on their own to explore the island. Usually Edge went with them to every part of the territory, as he was a protective father, but his sons managed to convince him that they would look after each other and come straight back if there was any sort of danger. It was almost as if Edge was remembering something within his past that almost made him say no, but changed his mind.
Meeting his father at the camp clearing, he noticed that Spottedpaw was also present. The molly was practically one of the boys, being closely raised with the three brothers since they were kits.. Although, no one could beat his bond with Flashpaw, that was his best friend for life. Edge had a soft smile on his face when all three boys, and he went towards them and lowered his muzzle and licked the top of his boys’ heads in order to smooth the fur out. Despite having a bad boy reputation, Edge was always present and loved his boys so much.
“Spottedpaw is joining you.” Edge said, looking towards his niece who had a huge smile on her face. He carefully nudged her towards them “Look after each other and I want you back before sundown, the forest gets dangerous at night.” The large black and gray tom said, giving his children a pointed look. All three of them knew about their mother’s accident with foxes a long time ago, Galepaw nodded in understanding. It was his job to protect his younger siblings and Spottedpaw. Edge grinned slightly and beckoned his head towards the direction of the entrance. “Now go enjoy yourselves.” Edge muttered, a small smile on his face. Galepaw grinned and bid his father a farewell before finally being the first to exit the camp.
“Woo!” Galepaw cheered once they made it into the territories, his light blue eyes shining in excitement. Finally! The apprentices were experiencing some freedom! “Let’s go guys!” The black and gray tom said before leading them all to the island.
