treating the other clans like they were nothing more than children in need of leashing had proven unsuccessful. for all the faith she placed in Sablestar and his ability to maintain control, the unruliness of those who followed him had proven more impressive than his confidence. they had stolen... scurried across borders they shouldn't have... been dishonorable. selfish. Owlbark could crow in her ear as much as he wanted that this was a glorious waste of time but it would not budge her will, stubbornly trouncing through the sparse woods of ThunderClan, passing through the great oaks that had once housed the Colony. once housed her love... her life... her ears flatten against her skull as they pass through, making no cheery commentary on the good weather, the speed of their journey. it had taken time... but it was time worth taking.

it is the first time she'd been struck with the sight of the shifting meadow grasses since she'd sprinted through in the dead of night towards the Highstones. it awakens a pain that cannot be cured by medicine. she ignores it, scouring the horizon for the sight of silhouettes. they have to be out here... and she wouldn't dare cross their scent markers for fear of setting the wrong precedent. however... her deputy had made it clear he had been less than forgiving when he'd met this clan himself.

nothing to be done about it now... just hope they are more amicable when faced with ThunderClan's leader who had not raised her claws against them yet. The sight of ears above the tall grasses is enough to ensure her someone is here to listen... "I am Juniperstar of ThunderClan... I'm here with a proposition... if you're willing to hear me."

You walk along the edge of danger
AND IT WILL CHANGE YOU

.

The morning light spilled gently across the forest floor, casting long shadows that stretched ahead of them. The day was still young, but already Copperstorm felt the weight of its length pressing gently at his shoulders. He walked in steady step beside Juniperstar, eyes momentarily flicking to her as he drew in a quiet breath. Then, softly, he brushed his flank against hers. " ...Whatever happens from this point on... " he murmured, voice low but warm. " You're doing good, Juni. "

It wasn't praise, not exactly. It was steadiness. A grounding truth. And a reminder that she didn't carry everything alone. He offered a soft blink, a faint nod, before putting some space between them again, his gaze drifting back to Boarpaw. The young apprentice was still sluggish with sleep, blinking slowly, tail dragging just slightly. Copperstorm felt a small smile tug at the corner of his mouth. He knew the trek ahead would be a long one, even for a warrior.

But Boarpaw was no ordinary apprentice. He was massive for his age, built like the bear he'd been named after, and there was a quiet determination in him that couldn't be dulled. So Copperstorm stepped back toward him, brushing his tail gently across the apprentice's flank in encouragement. " Come on, Boar. " he said softly, leaning close. " This'll be a long trek, but a good one. You'll see all kinds of territory today. So watch. Learn. Observe. "

He gave a quiet nod, eyes warm but sharp, before his voice trailed off again and silence reclaimed him. As they crested a rise, the breeze shifted and the scent of moorland drifted in. WindClan. Copperstorm's gaze sharpened, scanning the tall grasses. They were out there, just hidden by the swaying blades. Watching, waiting. He said nothing more, his posture straight, expression unreadable.

Yes... This would be an interesting day.
