Firewing soared through the sky above Frostglint Forest, riding the wind currents gracefully and carefree. IceClan had enough food, and everything was going great. They were living in a time of peace, but how long would it last? He went into a dive, pulling up just as he was about to hit an oak tree and perching on one of its thick branches. He scanned the frosty undergrowth for a sign of prey, deciding he might as well bring home a bit, even if it was unneeded; there was always a chance that some of the prey in the fresh-kill pile had been lost.
He heard the scuffling of a small arctic hare, and looked for it. When he spotted it, the golden eagle went into a silent, swift dive, talons outstretched. The rabbit never knew what hit him. He snatched it up, flying high, digging his talons into its body, trying to make it die and not suffer as quickly as he could.
He was lighting down on another branch when he heard a very soft sound, like the beating of another's wings when they are far away. Immediately wary, he turned his head slowly, fierce eyes scanning the sky for any sign of another bird. He thought he saw a distant form, rather far off, and barely visible. He clacked his sharp, dangerous beak, glaring at the form. It wasn't clear who it was, but if they were an intruder, he would not hesitate to attack. And so he waited for the right time.

ooc: sorry, I have no idea how close my territory is to your's, but thought I'd post here so we could get some rpging with other people. This is coming from the Storm in Stormclan.
Speckledheart flew through the forest, checking on the damaged caused by the storm the previous night. The landscaped looked so different with so many trees gone, felled by the gale force winds. She was devastated that so many of the places she knew where now covered with debris or completely destroyed. She spied a tree she didn't recognized. Suddenly, she realized she had strayed too far. This is not my territory! I hope I can get back before someone spots me. I'd hate to cause problems for the clan with so much already going on. She turned and headed toward her boarder, willing herself to fly faster than she had ever flown before.

Firewing suddenly calmed down, seeing that this newcomer was fleeing, and didn't have any prey in her talons or beak. He flew out of his cover and toward her, though not planning on attacking unless attacked, and not going fast either. "Calm yourself, tresspasser!" he called to Speckledheart. "As long as you have not hunted in IceClan territory, and are not here to invade or spy, I will not harm you."

Speckledheart looked back at the sound of the voice. She saw Falconfeather flying toward her at a steady pace. She slowed her pace and called back, "I am sorry I have entered your territory. I was observing the damage from the storm last night. With all the destruction of the landscape, I guess I got off course."
OOC: you can check out about the storm in StormClan

((Okay. Ooh, Sorry, I messed up. His name's supposed to be Firewing, not Falconfeather!  ) Firewing's face sobered. "Yes, I heard the storm last night. We had very little damage here, and hardly any rain, but I imagine you had it rough. Please accept my deepest concerns for your Clan," he sighed, gazing over at StormClan territory. It wasn't too far away, and already he could see trees blown down and branches snapped off. "And no worries about the crossing boarders thing. It was an accident, and one that will not be reported to my leader. How did you fare last night? Is your nest okay, or did it, too, get destroyed?" |

Speckledheart was grateful for the eagle's understanding. "I faired well. Thank you for your concern. Damage was minimual to camp. I should be off now before someone else spots me here." She looked around, looking for others.

"I'm glad to hear you and your Clan are safe," Firewing said. "I agree with you; it would be best if you left. I'd rather not have another eagle from my Clan come here and make me chase you off when you've done nothing of consequence."

"Thank you Firewing. You are truely a great leader. I will tell my leader of your kindness." With that, Speckledheart headed toward Stormclan territory.

((I'm not a leader))
Firewing watched her go. "Good luck, you and your Clan," he sighed sadly. No, he was not disloyal to IceClan, but he didn't want to see any Clan wiped out. That would corrupt the lives of all the Clans, and destroy innocent eagles. Storms were bad, but they weren't the worst thing that could happen. At least they stopped at some point.
