The Foothills rolled into one another, like still waves of earth over the terrain. Soft green grass was underpaw, and felt good on the worn pads of BlitzStar as he made his way. He appeared to be bobbing over the horizon as he dipped down, then up, then down again over the hills. He paused on a hill crest, scanning the surrounding lowlands. His mountain sky eyes were narrowed. From here, he can peer over into the neighboring FireClan.
AirClan and FireClan have been fighting over these hills for as long as he could remember. BlitzStar could recall stories of his father in battle on this very ground. Much blood had been spilt here. Anger welled in him, but he quickly pushed it back down. The Foothills were theirs, for now. And BlitzStar would do everything in his power for it to remain that way.

A large tom with a marbled Bengal pelt appeared beside him; he had renewed the scent markers and was just as determined as his leader to keep this part of the territory to themselves and not Fireclan. He scanned the Fireclan territory beyond, “Fireclan is growing strong. Do you think they will make and attempt at taking back this part of our territory?” Lunargalaxy asked his leader, he unsheathed his unique white almost translucent claws. Fireclan would have to go through him first and as a deputy he would do anything that his leader willed him to do without a question.

"Probably." BlitzStar rumbled, still looking out over the land. "It's been the longest we've kept the Foothills since PetalStar was leader. All the Clan is expecting a fight soon. But we'll be ready for them." The long-furred gray and white tabby moved down the hill, right along the border, dangerously close, his eyes trained on the FireClan territory beyond.

Lunargalaxy looked at his clan leader strengthened by his determination, he looked up to the tom very much so since he had much more experience then he did and in his thought was a perfect leader. He followed Blitzstar to the border and stood with him, “Yes, I agree. I hear the warriors talk about it often.” He murmured, sniffing in the Fireclan scent and wrinkling his nose. At the last gathering Fireclan looked small but Lunargalaxy shrugged most Fireclan cats were small.

"It's a good thing our warriors aren't so oblivious to facts like this. Being expectant and paranoid are two different things." BlitzStar murmured as he walked. FireClan was AirClan's number one rival, and clearly they did not get alone. A flicker of movement on the other side of the border caused the leader to pause, staring straight forward, ears pricked. But he settled once the rabbit burst cover and went sprinting off, back over the border of the AirClan side.

Lunarglaxy nodded in agreement, he kept walking a few tail lengths to the border when he stumbled upon a scent, grey wolves. Lunargalaxy knew grey wolves often came onto there land and cause trouble for them, killing full grown warriors, apprentices, and usually kits. "Wolves, its good we have no kits right now they seem to be coming onto our territory more and more often, the trail crosses into Fireclan territory though.” Lunargalaxy observed, but he knew the wolves were probably going to return again, like always. Though silently he wished they would cause trouble for Fireclan

BlitzStar growled as he picked up the scent as well. His deputy was right. Wolves did cause them quite a bit of trouble. He opened his mouth slightly, letting the scents waft in. "Two young ones, by the smell of it. Good. So it's not a Pack of them." he muttered, half to himself. He wished their was something they could do. "LunarGalaxy, we need to think of some way to keep them off our territory. They're killing our prey and our cats, and force just won't work with them."

Lunargalaxy knew this problem had always trouble Airclan and Earthclan but was there anything they could really do? Wolves were usually in packs and were much bigger then clan cats, there was no way they could drive them out really but maybe something else would do the trick. “I’m not sure Blitzstar, fighting won’t work, but maybe some form of trickery or warning might do well, I just don’t know what.” He mumbled hoping his leader was not disappointed in him. Wolves had to have some brains that could understand a unwelcome signal.

BlitzStar grunted in agreement. He sighed, and contiued moving down the border. "Perhaps we should ask our warriors, or even EarthClan, even. If WolfStar had an idea, we could back it up. I just want these wolves gone." But there wasn't anything he could do at the moment, so he dropped the subject. The large tom's eys traveled down to his paws and stayed trained on the ground as he walked, deep in thought.

"I agree." Lunargalaxy meowed, he wanted the wolves gone just as badly as his leader, he looked at Blitzstar knowing he was moving on to a different topic, he knew his leader had to be pretty desperate if he wanted to ask Earthclan, "Do you plan on doing that at the gathering?" Lunargalaxy asked thinking it might be better not to bring it up at the gathering the other clans might take it as a sign of weakness perhaps soon they should take a patrol and ask Wolfstar. It was good that Earthclan was the most welcoming to visitors, unlike Fireclan or Waterclan. He walked near his leader looking around and scenting the air every so often.

BlitzStar shook his head. "No. I-" But he was cut off as a shape flew out of the brush and leaped high in the air, landing squarely on the leader's back. He staggered, but managed to stay standing.
"Hi, BlitzStar!"
"Get off me, DaisyNose. Your heavy." he grunted, shrugging his smaller sister off his back. She slid gracefully to the ground, unphased.
"So what are you two up to?" she asked the two, smiling.

Lunargalaxy wondered what his leader was going to say when he was interrupted he turned when his leader stopped walking, He was about to attack thinking maybe it was a Fireclan cat but then recognized Daisynose, his sister. He looked at her, they were different for siblings. “Eh just patrolling the Fireclan border making sure Fireclan’s not going to make a move soon.” He meowed flicking his tail to one side to the other. He knew she would know exactly what he was talking about and he would not have to explain any further. He let his pale, translucent blue like eyes drift back to the border and searching it for any rival cat.

"Ah, yes. The ever-hostile FireClan. Well, I personally don't think we have to worry about them just yet. So maybe you two should be un-serious for once." DaisyNose declared, a happy gleam in her pretty yellow eyes. BlitzStar glanced at his deputy, then just looked at his sister. Ever since he became leader, everything was serious. She sighed, then turned to LunarGalaxy. "Well, what about you, Mr. Deputy? No time for fun anymore?" she nudged him in the side with her nose.

Lunargalaxy stared at her confused and hunched his shoulders squarely looking at her barely budging when she nosed into him. Did she not understand? The clan needed to be prepared for anything… “Precaution is a virtue that can’t wait.” He growled fiercely to her but his eyes were gentle. “I still can have fun… after the patrol and our clan is safe and sound.” Lunargalaxy said now, with a slight smile. The deputy rolled his shoulders feeling suddenly worn out, he had already hunted today and the patrol did not help either. He straightened out though.

DaisyNose sighed. "You two are awful. Have you ever thought that maybe the Clan will never be safe and sound? That as long as there are other Clans and other animals and rogues and Twolegs and whatnot, there will always be a danger?" she shook her head sadly. "I'm afraid you two fail the fun test." BlitzStar smiled and moved forward to carry on the patrol, nudging his sister in the shoulder as he passed.
"C'mon, we're almost done with the patrol. Then we'll all head back to camp, so you may as well join us." he rumbled, amused. With head held high, she marched ahead of him.
"Well if I must."
