Ravenstar
Shadowclan Leader
A chorus of crickets were singing through the pine forest of Shadowclan, leaves crunching underneath huge paws. The black tom had let out a small grunt before his golden eyes narrowed slightly. The Shadowclan leader had agreed for Firestar to call his meeting on Shadowclan territory in order for Desertstar’s traveling to be easier. However, he still wasn’t overly fond of two other leaders traveling within his territory.. Call him paranoid, but Ravenstar didn’t trust to easily.. What did Firestar want in this meeting that couldn’t wait for a gathering?
Letting out a small sigh through his nostrils, the Shadowclan leader had arrived at the meeting first. His feathery tail swishing the leaves on the ground as the tom padded across the clearing. Ravenstar felt a nagging feeling through his mind, causing him to shake his head slightly. One of his guides was attempting to speak with him, but the Shadowclan leader let out a grunt. It wasn’t until Leafstorm, one of his guides, spoke quietly to him ‘I don’t understand why you agreed to a meeting on our land.. Shadowclan shouldn’t even become involved with Skyclan’s troubles.’ He said, to which Ravenstar had let out a snort.
A couple of moments had passed until Firestar had appeared quietly, Desertstar following after him. Watching the other two leaders with narrowed eyes, letting out a small grunt in greetings towards the other two while taking a seat in the middle of the clearing. Inviting them to sit down with a nod, Ravenstar was quietly listening to the crickets for a moment and closed his eyes. It wasn’t until the huge black leader spoke quietly “What business do you have with us today Firestar?” The Shadowclan leader questioned, opening his eyes to gaze at the Skyclan leader.
Desertstar
Leader of Windclan
The golden she-cat's ears twitched forward, picking up every nuance of the Skyclan leader's words. Her heart ached for Firestar and his clan. The sickness plaguing SkyClan's territory was no small matter, and starvation was a cruel fate—one that no cat should have to endure. Desertstar knew all too well the struggles of leading a clan through hard times. She had faced her own share of challenges as leader of WindClan, and she understood the weight of responsibility that rested on Firestar's broad shoulders.
When Ravenstar spoke, offering a compromise that would allow SkyClan's patrols to hunt in Shadowclan territory, she felt a flicker of surprise and quiet admiration. She had not expected a new leader to display such wisdom and diplomacy. It was a generous offer, one that could mean the difference between life and death for many of Firestar's cats. Despite being new to this, Ravenstar seemed to already understand the importance of cooperation between the clans; the delicate balance a leader must maintain between the needs of their clan and the greater good of all the clans, especially in times of crisis.
A subtle warmth blossomed in her chest at that thought, and she quickly added, "I believe it is only right that WindClan offers what aid we can. In addition to the shared grounds Ravenstar has offered, you have my permission to hunt in WindClan territory, as well.” Pausing briefly, her gaze flicked over to Ravenstar, her eyes softening slightly. "WindClan stands with SkyClan in this. If there is anything more we can do to help, do not hesitate to ask."
