ashfluff had just returned from the outskirts of snowclan's territory, her heart still racing from the encounter with a wandering dog. she was relieved to see the predator amble away from their domain, leaving the scent of danger in its wake. with every pawstep she took, her clan's safety weighed heavily on her mind.
as she began her journey back to camp, she couldn't help but reflect on the challenges a deputy faced. her duties extended far beyond hunting and patrolling; she was responsible for protecting her clan from any threat. the encounter with the dog had reminded her of that.
it was during her introspection that she spotted movement up ahead, interrupting the horizon over the hill. two cats, their fur unkempt and eyes scanning the territory, had entered snowclan's domain without permission. trespassers, rogues who were ignorant or dismissive of the clan's borders.
ashfluff paused, her heart tightening with a mix of concern and caution. her first instinct was to approach them, question their intentions, and assess the potential threat they posed. but she couldn't ignore the need for assistance. she was a strong and capable warrior, but confronting two rogues alone was risky.
as she pondered her next move, a sudden rustling in the underbrush drew her attention. mothmist, one of snowclan's skilled warriors, emerged from the shadows, his usually stern expression showing a glimmer of curiosity. his arrival was a welcome sight.
without a word, ashfluff indicated the two rogues to mothmist. he observed them for a moment, his gaze calculating. together, they silently deliberated their options.
one option was to confront the rogues, demand their intentions, and potentially escort them off the territory. the other, more cautious approach, was to monitor them from a distance and evaluate whether they posed a true threat to the clan.
mothmist, known for his wisdom and level-headedness, spoke in a low, hushed tone. "we should watch them for a while. assess their behavior and intentions. if they prove to be a danger, we'll take action."
ashfluff nodded in agreement. they would follow the rogues from a distance, ready to intervene if necessary, but also willing to offer guidance and a chance to leave peacefully.
as they shadowed the trespassers, snowclan's deputy and warrior were acutely aware of the weight of their decision. the safety of their clan rested in their paws, and they were prepared to protect their home and kin, even if it meant confronting the unknown with courage and determination.
