The Alleys RP

Thornheart nodded, readily. But flashed of his past, of his brother, Oak, drowning in a river flashed in his head. He seemed a bit uneasy on his paws for a second before readily taking a step forward.

Mercury had been watching Thornheart from the corner of her eye. She flashed him a toothy smile. "Don't worry, I'll keep and eye on you." She meowed.

Thronheart snorted "Gee, Thanks. That fills me with confidence." he said dryly, with more then a bit of sarcasm. He walked towards the river. With a bit of hesitation he jumped inside and started padding strongly towards the other side.

Mercury lost her smile. She jumped into the river after him and with swift strokes of her paws started to cross the river. Despite the fact that it was lower then before it was still racing and it took all her concentration not to be swept away.

(( Its so hard to develop two charries at once, especially when different people are RPing each one, but be prepared for Thornheart to be reallllly bitchy ))

Thornheart's strokes seemed half desperate as he swam for the other side.

Mercury didn't say anything as she was too busy keeping her breathing even. She kept close to Thornheart just in case he needed her help. The opposite shore was in sight now. She kept on swimming.

Thornheart neared the opposite shore but had been carried a bit downstream.

Mercury crawled onto the shore and shook herself from head to tail. She padded downstream to meet up with Thornheart. "Hey you ok?" She asked. She was still dripping from her swim.

Thornheart nodded, clambering onto the shore. "Fine." he grumbled.

Mercury's whisker twitched but she nodded. "If we head northwest from here we should reach the end of Resistance territory in no time at all." She meowed.

"Sounds like a plan." Thornheart said, padding away from the river a bit. "Lead the way."

Mercury nodded and lead him towards the unclaimed northwestern territory. She soon stopped at he Resistance's boarder. "Over here is the part of the Alleys we haven't explored yet, it's unclaimed."

Thornheart frowned "Why not?"

"We've been too busy keeping the Rogue-Queen at bay to retake it. We used to own it but after the death of the Great-Paw it was lost to us, we just didn't have enough cats to patrol it." She explained.

Thornheart nodded, understanding flowing over him. He stepped forward and said "Well then. Let's explore."

Mercury smiled again. She placed one paw over the border. Her eyes shone brightly. "One small step for the Resistance." She purred. She padded over the border and looked around. "Where to start."

Thornheart shrugged "Your supposed to be the expert on the alley's." he said, in a semi-joke.

She turned to face him. "Not this area." She meowed. "I know as much about this part as you do, which is nothing."

Thornheart chuckled slightly "I guess I'll take the lead then." He said and stepped forward. He instinctively started walking deeper into the unexplored region.

Mercury grinned and padded after him. "Must be good to be in the lead for a change." She meowed jokingly.

"You have no idea." Thornheart joked back "I feel like I'm the king of the world."

Mercury laughed. "I'm so glad you feel that way." She purred. She skipped forward to walk next to him. "If your the king, what does that make me?" She asked.

Thonrheart shrugged "Whatever you want to be." he said, a gentle smile on his face.

"Hmm." She stretched out and slunk across the ground. "I think I'll be a knight." She purred. She quested around for a while, sniffing odd objects and such before returning to Thornheart. "Left or right?" She asked.

"Right." Thornheart answered.
