[Hawkstar]

LEADER OF SKYCLAN

.

Hawkstar did her best to not seem available to the other clans. She was leader of SkyClan. She was above the petty insults thrown across the border towards some less-than clan-member that couldn't catch a bird or climb a tree to save their life. It was maddening to live in this world where her clan was the only righteous one of the bunch. It was shameful to their very way of life, and disrespectful to the cats that had risked their lives to on the journey just for ... this.

Clans on every border, each one of them code-less and only bound to the morality of their own egos. Hawkstar could not imagine the type of cat who would follow those sorts rather than a leader ordained by StarClan and their rightful code. Hawkstar could also not imagine what sort of cat would follow a mealy-mouse like Pikestar, or so she mused as her good eye caught the sunshine off the river that divided RiverClan and SkyClan. He was a follower more than anything, from what she saw, and though it would probably be an east feat to bend the riverland "king" to her will, what good was that if he could barely keep his own cats in line? She had heard some whisperings from the aftermath of the first Gathering that one of his warriors had tried to claim the crown for himself.

Hawkstar wondered if Pikestar had it in him to exile the attempted usurper. She severely doubted it, but she would certainly know if it was ....Adderslash ? ... that came to the border first over any other RiverClanner alerting to the scent of bloody awful SkyClan.

[PIKESTAR PIKESTAR]

It was strange to see Hawkstar near the border. He was more accustomed to running into her warriors, but he couldn't deny that her presence was felt within them. Not once did he spare a glance in Skyclan's different and couldn't feel her spirit among them. Warning him, warning Riverclan to think twice about trying anything. Not like he nor anyone within his clan wanted to provoke the ire of Hawkstar. The few things Riverclan was preoccupied with the most when it came to Skyclan was whether or not they should learn of their code, or if they should align themselves with them. After all, while their relationship with Skyclan wasn't awful... They had taken the life of Juniperstar. Thunderclan was the only clan that was friendly with them. The gathering of their clans at the Sunningrocks proved fruitful. To align themselves with Skyclan was to betray Thunderclan in some capacity.

However, Thunderclan had ties with Shadowclan. The very same clan that stole from Riverclan. If Thunderclan was allowed to have these ties with their enemy, why couldn't Riverclan do the same. Truthfully it pained him to hear that Hawkstar had been the one to kill Juniperstar, but he couldn't blame her. Juniperstar was the one who offered herself as a sacrifice in Owlbark's steed, so Hawkstar had no choice in accepting. The only solace he found when hearing this news was that death was swift. It was not painful as his own had been.

The silver leader dear near and dipped his head in respect.

"Hello, Hawkstar."

It was rude not to acknowledge her. She didn't appear without purpose. That being said, it would be wise to get to the heart of the matter. She never was one for small talk after all.

"You normally don't visit these borders, so is there something you need? If not... Then I'll be on my way."

Why do I sound so bossy? I don't like speaking like this at ALL. Although, I dunno if she would prefer if I made a joke. With the serious expression she bore? Yeah. No chance.
