Stealthstar
The core was alive with the whispers of cats, both young and old, scared and fearless with curiosity. The weather was beginning to chill, yet it barely bothered the Skyclan cats as they went about their daily duties. Once cat in particular, a large, gray tipped tom made his way to the highest point in Skyclan territory, a large, clear ice peak that jutted out high in the sky and allowed all to see him and his clear blue eyes as he looked below at the cats who stared up at them.
“All those old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Icepeak for a clan meeting.”
He watched as those that heard his booming, yet cheerful voice gathered beneath him and stared up at him. Yes yes…they were looking up to him for guidance, and not down upon him like he was scum. Perfect, irony at it’s finest, and he was living such a dream every day. He’d never give up his position, not for the world. He gave out a soft mewl as he announced to the clan what was on his mind, and the rest of their minds.
“As you may know, we have some unwanted visitors in our territory, and they’ve taken a liking to our young,” Stealthstar looked down, his voice changing dramatically as his icy tone portrayed his immense dislike of the visitors. “Foxes have come in, and it’s our job to take them out before they invade. We’ve found evidence of only one family, a male and a female, and we suspect the female may be carrying it’s young in her womb. This does not make her any less dangerous. Listen carefully to me, and I will not take no for an answer. No more shall die under my watch.”
“I shall take a patrol out to go to our Neighboring clan’s territory and request their assistance with this threat,” He locked eyes with the two cats he would be taking, “Driftback, Snakeheart, you shall be accompanying me. Mind your manners, as we want Miststar to assist us.” He turned his eyes once more to the crowd below. “If we cannot get assistance from them, we shall deal with the threat ourselves.”
“While it is difficult to get in to our home, it is not impossible, so we need guards for the openings where the intruders could get in.” He scanned the crowd, picking out the two he desired for the job. “Gorsehawk, you shall be in charge of my absence.” He smiled at his ex-apprentice, happy he raised a fine deputy, and then continued on. “Thawedfoot shall assist you. Lead him well.”
“No one other then our most elite shall leave these walls under any circumstances. Queens and Kits should be closely watched, as they are our future.” He gave a soft chuckle and looked at Snowflower. “Don’t treat them bad though. They still have our utmost respect. Cardinal paw shall look after you, Snowflower. Make sure he cares for you well.”
He jumped down, his fur flowing with the motion as he trotted towards the exit, making sure his company was in tow. “Be careful, my friends. Be Vigilant in your watch; Skyclan shall not perish again.”
----
Stealthstar, Driftback and Snakeheart shall be journeying to Windclan territory to ask for their assistance in ridding the territory of the foxes. If they are denied, they shall have to find another way.
Gorsehawk and Thawedfoot shall guard the entrances. If a fox gets in, it could spell the end of Skyclan, to they must annihilate the thread before it spells trouble.
Cardinalpaw shall be charged with guarding the Nursery and Snowflower. If he lazes off, Snowflower could leave The Core and be killed by the Fox. Be vigilant young one, and you may be rewarded well.
