"There’s a lot of things you need
to get across this universe.
You know the thing
you need most of all?"

The border patrol earlier in the day had gone well and without incident and for that Foxstar was grateful. She'd left her clanmates as soon as they'd finished and just kept walking towards her destination. Nerves squeezed her chest making it harder for her to breathe but she didn't let it stop her steady steps forward. She keep her breathing calm to try and steady herself but she knew this could go so very badly.

Firestar had agreed to meet her, and she had to hope the older she-cat would see the logic in an alliance between their two clans. She needed the help to distract TreeClan, and Firestar needed a bit of extra food for her clan since her territory was still recovering from the fire from leaf-fall. She knew things had been tight for the other clan and hoped the offer was a fair one.

This was something completely against her normal thoughts regarding those that didn't belong to NightClan, but she needed to take action in a manner that left no room for doubt as to the direction she intended to take NightClan. They would not stand for their territory being taken and she would do whatever it took to overwhelm TreeClan in this situation with as little damage to her clanmates as she could manage.

The large she-cat was quick and silent on her feet and reached StarClan's Claws sooner than she thought she would. She bounded up the rocks and found her place before settling herself down and waiting. She had some Warriors nearby in case Firestar tried to ambush her, but other than that she had come completely alone. Her Warrior were in earshot if she should call for them, but they wouldn't overhear anything they shouldn't. Now all that remained was the waiting; something Foxstar hated.

"You need a hand to hold."

the moments when you're in so deep

FEELS EASIER TO JUST SWIM DOWN

The last time Firestar had a meeting with a leader that wasn't on a battlefield had been at the time she was a deputy. It felt like ages since her name had been Firesky and for the first time in a long time, she realized the aging ache in her bones. Eighty-eight moons and still hunting and training. Yes her joints hurt on cold mornings, but she silently thanked StarClan for allowing some semblance of youth to remain. Her clan needed her.

Leading her troop of four warriors, Firestar set a steady pace to arrive at the meeting place at the right time.

While she had no clue what was Foxstar's idea, Firestar felt it important to honor her request. Perhaps there was a threat that the NightClan warrior wanted to warn their more distant rivals. For a brief moment, Firestar wondered if this meeting would end up costing her something.

She doubted that Foxstar had any intention of stealing territory. TreeClan stood in the way and it would end up being futile. Rabbits were too quick-footed for cats that called a marsh their home.

Slowly her pace her ears flicked forward to catch anything out of the ordinary. Deeming it safe her attention shifted to her escorts.

"If I yowl for help rush in but in the meantime stay here and remain sharp," She told them, offering each standing warrior a gesture of gratitude for joining her on such a unique evening. The elder of the group, Harmonymoon, dipped her head in respect to her leader. The blue coated senior warrior, offered a prayer for Firestar's safety before the calico leader continued walking.

Unsure if StarClan was on her side, Firestar kept her head up high and her paws steady as he entered the sacred clearing. Clearing her throat to alert Foxstar of her arrival.

"Hello Foxstar," She greeted her head dipping slightly as a sign of mutual respect. Firestar had to admit there was a certain higher level of respect for Foxstar, another female leader. A rarity.
