after watching falitna go with the small cat, burza leaped down from the highrock and walked over to the second-in-command, his tail raised high. "sister, meet me in my den with krieg, coraggio and Tigre right now" he said, flicking his tail for the black she-cat to follow him. He could hear other footsteps behind him, not daring to turn around as he, his sister and the three other cats walked towards his den.
Inside his den, burza sat down, his tail wrapped around his paws as he looked at the four clanmates. "earlier, a black she-cat named falitna told me about the fate of deir and has asked me for a alliance.....I accepted that request and now, I want you four to do something" he paused, letting out a sigh before continuing. "coraggio, my best scout...I want you to go over to deir camp, look for survivors and then go near mau's castle and see if you can get any news....without being caught. If so then it would be best if you don't tell anyone anything about this clan.....lie that you are a loner" burza said, turning his attention to Tigre. "you are to protect coraggio from any harm and if you do get caught....then say that you are a loner. give mau and her lackeys any information about this clan and you will be exiled or killed on sight, clear?" the dark brown tabby nodded, only staring at his leader. The blue-gray tabby Tom turned his attention to his sister and krieg, his eyes blinking as he spoke. "krieg, for serving this clan for years, I am trusting you to watch and lead my clan until I come back from my trip to see klo and Essix for a alliance"
"I promise to lead your clan until you come back"
"good" burza turned his attention to his sister. "you will come with me to ask the other clans for a alliance"
fengari watched as the three cats reappear, the oldest carrying a skinny rabbit. The black and white she-cat laid down, her eyes blinking as she watched the group of cats around her. glad to hear that burza accepted the alliance
