==Chapter description==
======
:Poppycloud and her apprentice Mottlepaw are checking the SkyClan-ThunderClan border. Poppycloud scolds her apprentice for being too loud, though Mottlepaw remarks why Rowanstar makes them patrol near the borders in the first place. They are confronted by a ThunderClan patrol, Oatwhisker and the deputy Greeneyes. Oatwhisker confronts Mottlepaw for crossing the border, but Poppycloud insists it was a mistake. Greeneyes and Oatwhisker vow to inform Lionstar about SkyClan trespassing, and the two ThunderClan cats leave. Mottlepaw admits that it is hard to decipher where the border is since the scents are so faint. Poppycloud decides to tell Rowanstar when they get back to camp.
:Lionstar, Greeneyes, Oddfoot, and dark brown tom arrive in SkyClan's camp to speak with Rowanstar. Nightmask, the deputy, greets them when they arrive in their camp. Lionstar is concerns about SkyClan frequently lurking at their border, though Rowanstar argues that perhaps ThunderClan should visit their border more often so their scent would be clearer. Greeneyes insists that the warrior code says nothing about patrolling borders, but Poppycloud suddenly challenges that belief. Mottlepaw encourages his mentor, much to her embarrassment. The tortoiseshell warrior posits that perhaps they should be marking their borders daily to make sure they are clearly marked and to punish trespassers. Lionstar and Greeneyes are not keen on the idea, but Rowanstar suggests proposing Poppycloud's idea at the next Gathering. Poppycloud is pleased about her legacy, but she is even more proud being Mottlepaw's mother.

:Whitestorm teaches Firepaw, Graypaw, Ravenpaw, Sandpaw, and Dustpaw about border tactics. He instructs the apprentices to pretend he is another Clan's deputy and they are the dawn patrol. He pretends to cross the border, and Dustpaw attacks him. Whitestorm remarks that it is not very wise to attack a cat twice his size, and his duty is to assess the situation and report to his Clan leader. He prompts the apprentices to ask what he is doing alone; perhaps his Clan needs help. If an intruder is hostile, then meet them with hostility in return. Whitestorm adds that if an intruder is alone and asks to speak to the Clan leader, they can be escorted to camp, provided they provide a convincing explanation. However, if they do not, then Whitestorm urges the apprentices to chase the intruder away from their territory. They have a right to defend their borders from trespassers. The white tom adds that a good warrior will always seek a peaceful option first. He commends the five apprentices for listening so well and orders them back to camp so he can rest.
