November Gathering

[SuspiciousMindz]

Abstain from posting here until your respective Clan leader has arrived.

Leaders may post their entrances here, but please redirect your roleplay to this thread (http://warriorcatsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18927).

WindClan was the first to arrive. Blazingstar had made it his job to show up earlier than the other clans. He succeeded. The ginger tom led his warriors down to the Seastones, the ocean breeze greeting him with a salty, but fishy smell. That reminded him. Would RiverClan dare show their faces tonight? Where had they even settled? He supposed he'd find out in the next few minutes. Without hesitation, his paws hit sandy dirt and he headed for the Seastones, preparing to take his place on the rocks he was once so scared to climb.

[.:Virgo:.]

Roseflame went to the Seastones and entered behind her leader. She looked around for anyone to talk to but everyone seemed to be missing.

[Starfall]

He had attempted to get his clan here first, however it seems as though he was beat. Of course, that didn't surprise the ebony tom, however, they were further away from the Seastones. With a huff, Fallenstar pushed forward, ignoring the looks him and his clan were being given by the rabbit chasers.

Riverclan has arrived

[vellichor]

The poor feline’s paws aches to be up beside his leader as they walked, exchanging reassuring glances and mouthing encouragement to each other. He felt this ache not just in his paws, but in every fiber of his being, from his nose to his fluffy tail tip. Alas, knowing that he was the last cat Goldenstar wanted to see, and unsure if he was allowed to go to the gathering at all, he had stuck to the back. He had to blend in with the crowd. He wasn’t a deputy anymore. But he looked at where the leaders and deputies sat sadly. He attempted eye contact with all of them, except Goldenstar and the new ShadowClan deputy.

{That sounds good.}

Bushy tail hung low the creamy feline followed her Clan to the Seastones, it felt strange being back in the back. That's where she always was before being made Deputy and back then Buttercupbreeze thought she'd never get used to it. Now since she was replaced the creamy molly felt odd but being amongst her Clanmates reminded her how she'd let them down. Trying to help them only made life harder but the Peacemakers has been made. If that worked and the Peacemakers pulled through then this would all be worth it. The pain and discomfort she felt, the sadness the stung her when she remembered she couldn't talk with Blazingstar like she used too.
Noticing they were the first here Buttercup sighed, really she didn't want to be here yet at the same time wanted to see how the other Deputies were doing. This wasn't to surprising she was more introverted then extroverted but she felt more withdrawn after the recent events. After pretty much standing alone watching the other Clan come in Buttercup noticed every Clan had a new Deputy. So Auroraflame and Windygale did get demoted. She confirmed pushing her hopes that one of them could possibly not be demoted. Spotting Windygale the bushy tailed feline headed over to him pleased he was there. "How are you doing?" She asked her voice soft, she had a feeling he wouldn't be fairing it to well. Anyway he was kinda like a little brother even if he was older then her. It was weird especially since she told herself she'd never make friends outside WindClan. I've changed a lot recently.

[MessrMoony]

Pikepaw had made her way into the Seastones. She'd smell the salty air and smile. As she made her way through she saw that Windclan was already there. She rolled her eyes when she saw that they had beat them there. Then Pikepaw realized that they were farther away from the Seastones than them. The brown and white apprentice sat down waiting for the other clans to filter through. She really hoped that she could talk to another apprentice other than her own brother. She had despised her brother ever since the battle and Grovepaw's death. Pikepaw was hoping that she could get as far away as possible from him if he did end up coming to the gathering.

Soaringpaw’s black fur with the white underbelly and paws nervously stepped into the clearing, her green eyes glowing in the dark. She turned her head to look at Briarsong her mentor, but Briarsong was no where to be seen. She sniffed, she had seen the borders, maybe she could tell what clans were here, the stench of Windclan hit her first. She wasn’t surprised they were first, Briarsong did say they typically arrived first. However, to her surprise she realized that Riverclan was here, tht’s good that they are here, but I hope a fight doesn’t break out at the gathering.... She nervously sat down and focused on the leader waiting for Grousestar and Passionstar to arrive. Ravenfrost didn’t seem to scared being up there. She glanced below the rock, she saw only one cat who smelled like a Windclanner Probably Buttercupbreeze.... she thought, unaware that Buttercupbreeze was demoted, and that that was Crowmask. She thought it was strange not seeing a Riverclan deputy, Rowanflower who her mentor mentioned, maybe they are worried about attack and left the deputy in charge of camp... she strained her ears to hear what the leaders were saying but couldn’t pick up anything, she thought this was the gathering already started, and wanted to listen to the leaders not the other cats chit-chat.

[OPEN]
The blind warrior Pikerunner came, he hadn’t come in a long while because of his hatred towards Riverclan, he felt this time that Riverclan wouldn’t be there. He entered the clearing and the stench of Riverclan hit his nose, instinctively he unsheathed his claws and arched his back up, his fur standing up on edge. He waited tensily for a Riverclanner to start a fight or even come in contact with him. He wanted them obliterated, now was the best chance, Windclan and Shadowclan can start attacking them now, we can send a messenger to Skyclan to tell them to attack Riverclan’s clearing right now. And we can tell Thunderclan through a messanger that the truce was broken and the gathering is over. Once we chase them back to their territory we all can squash them once and for all... his lips curled into a smug look.

After he’d exchanged a few words with the other deputies, Flintspirit let his gaze wander over to where all of the medicine cats were sitting. He knew that they were the ones who also were supporting the peacemakers, and he felt an urge to talk to one of them and let them know he’s on board. With a quick glance up at Passionstar, seeing his focus was elsewhere, Flintspirit stood and started to saunter over to the medicine cats. His eyes grazed over them as he did so, trying to decide which one would be the best for him to inform about his alliance. He considered Heatherfur, Thunderclan and Riverclan didn’t have much of a rift between them right now. He wasn’t sure about Oriolepaw, to him she seems a little young, and was probably swamped with learning all of her training. He didn’t see the Skyclan medicine cats quite yet, so all that left was Daydream. He wasn’t expecting Tallmarsh to remember to tell any of the medicine cats, she had a lot on her mind recently. As he was finishing crossing the gap between him and the medicine cats, his gaze flicked to the side for a moment as he heard the pawsteps of quick paws coming towards him. It was two young apprentices, seemingly running around in the clearing. He quickly did a small leap forward to get out of their way, but he misjudged his movements.
With the grace of a blind rabbit Flintspirit toppled over his own paws, his feathery tail swinging wildly in the air as he struggled to regain his footing. It was to no avail though, as the tomcat landed with an “Oof” and a hard thump on the ground. He was now laying on his back, trying to regain the death that had been knocked out of his lungs. Opening his eyes, he blinked twice as a golden figure came into view, with two wide yellow eyes. He let a small smirk cross his features as he stared up at the golden cat. “You know, I think this is your good side.” He purred up silkily at Daydream.

Solstice!

[.:Virgo:.]

Winterpaw padded up to the clearing and looked pittifully at riverclan, knowing that they didnt need to be drriven out of their territory. She then looked back up at her leader knowing that if her secret got out, she could be quarintined to the apprentices den until it was over Why would we even drive them out? We don't like their slimy fish! She thought and snickered a little at her thoughts.

She could feel the gazes of her clanmates boring into her back. She was being watched, there was no doubt about that. Still, Auroraflame could say she cared very much. She was just thankful that she could even be here at all. After being told that she could not allowed to leave the camp, she had been extremely surprised that she’d been picked to come to the gathering. She suspected that it was Doveflight’s work, and she had made sure that she would thank the tom later on. She was so fortunate that SkyClan’s new deputy was so kind to her, even when the rest of her clanmates saw her for what she was. A traitor.

As soon as they were given the signal, she scampered away from her clanmates, her gaze firm on two cats. There was no point in trying to be sneaky. Her clanmates knew that she had been betraying them for cats from other clans, well, that was what she had told them and they had believed her. It wasn’t exactly true though. She had lied for the sake of protecting her clanmates who had risked their own freedom to help her finds way for peace. She didn’t care anymore if any of her clanmates were to drag her away from Windygale, Rowanflower and Buttercupbreeze. She didn’t care if someone were to insult her and call her a traitor. She was used to it and all she cared about was getting in at least a little bit of conversation in.

Her icy blue gaze lit up in surprise and confusion to see that it the other far from their leaders like she was. Had something happened? Something must’ve, because she spotted that the other clans seemed to have new deputies too. They’d all been caught. “Hey,” she greeted as she approached the other two deputies. She didn’t greet them in her usual respectful manner. Over the past moons, she lost her sense of professionalism and respectfulness, she just didn’t care anymore. Plus, she had a feeling that the deputies would have something to relate over, so she might as well drop her guard a little if they were going to be in this together. “I suppose we all got caught,” she remarked once Windygale had responded to Buttercupbreeze’s question. She no longer teared up at the thought of her demotion, the removal of her passion. Crying wasn’t going to do her any good.

Shinefang shot a glance or two at Auroraflame as he made his way to the Gathering along with Ringpaw but he didn't dare speak to here. he couldn't afford to risk giving away his involvement with the very thing that had caused the deputy to be demoted. Still, he was grateful to see her out and about. Seeing her treated like a prisoner in her own clan made the old tom bristle with righteous indignation. He bristled for other reasons though. The cold air seemed to be cutting him deeper than usual and he fought not to shiver as he made his way over to sit in his usual spot. He glanced at Ringpaw to ask that she follow but had to turn away as a throaty cough racked his body. He swallowed, feeling weak as he tried to steel himself even though he felt a fog settling over his senses.

Thistledown followed after his leader, glancing around with indifference when he noticed that his clan was the first to arrive. He wondered broadly if Riverclan would show up and when the smell of fish broke out over the glen, he wrinkled his nose and shrugged. If the fish-brain's wanted to show up where they clearly were not welcome, that was their business.

Honeybee a queen with golden fur nervously entered the clearing, she could feel the glares of many cats who didn’t want them here. She could tell that Riverclan had a smaller group coming, mainly because of the risk of a clan breaking the truce and attacking camp and breaking the truce. She knew it wasn’t the best idea leaving her kits at camp with another queen now, but she wanted to know what all the drama would be at the gathering. She saw an apprentice of another clan give her a pitiful look at her and all of Riverclan. We don’t need your pity. she suddenly found herself marching over to the apprentice,” Listen apprentice, we don’t need your pity. Riverclan is as strong as ever. We might be in a new territory, and not have allies, but we are as strong as ever. If we had to we could beat a clan in a fair fight, the only reason we lost that battle is because three clans teamed up against us.” She snarled before blinking realizing that the apprentice did nothing wrong for giving her a pitiful glance,” Sorry, I think the new territory and the one clan standing alone thing is getting to me. I didn’t mean to lash out at you.” She appologized to the apprentice.

"No you have no need to apologize. My clan fought against you when you just wanted peace." Winterpawsaid and sat. "I didn't do anything to stop my clan."

[Why Do We Hold?]

//is thunderclan already there?

"No you have no need to apologize. My clan fought against you when you just wanted peace." Winterpawsaid and sat. "I didn't do anything to stop my clan."
Honeybee realize what Winterpaw believed and shook her head a little,” No, you did what you thought was best. You obeyed your clan leader. You do realize if you fought against your clanmates or against the clans that were fighting against us, you probably would be in real trouble with your leader, maybe even exiled. This isn’t the end of Riverclan. You aren’t the reason we lost our territory. It’s the clan leaders orders.” She told the apprentice

He swallowed, feeling weak as he tried to steel himself even though he felt a fog settling over his senses.

The calico shecat sat her rump down on the cold earth, her haunches quivering with a chill as she felt the frozen dirt dig into her bottom. Her regular spot seemed strangely in the open, more than last time. Maybe it was because of the ranks. Caliaflame and Flashpaw both gone... Ringpaw had looked forward to growing closer to the two. Why had they left? She didn’t know, and she didn’t want to either. Ringpaw glanced towards Shinefang, her eyes glistening with concern. “Shinefang?” She asked quietly, worried that if she spoke louder her voice would rattle in the chilly air. His harsh cough sounded painful- almost made her cringe. She hadn’t really experienced leafbare before- it was still odd, and unwelcome most of all. “Are you alright?” She waited until he had stopped coughing, before setting her tail over his back. He was still immensely larger than her, so it was quite a stretch to place her tail over his shoulders- not even.

Dsisypaw walked with her adopted clsn. She had only been in Windclan for hslf a moon. She had already felt at home. The young molly hlanced around the clearing at all the cats. There was more csts here th ed n there was back st the camp and it was making her a little nervous.

{We haven't RPed in a while, mind if I take up Daisy?}

Riverpaw kept close to her Clanmates as the took the long travel to Seastones. Her brother wasn't able to join her because he got in trouble again which made this kinda scary. The other Clans had already run RiverClan out of their territory would they even let them to be here? What if they try to run us off again? What then? Wouldn't that be braking the truce? The fluffy silver tabby wondered looking down at her feet. She must've gotten separated from her Clanmates because next time she glanced up a WindClan smelling molly was standing in front of her. A bit nervous Riverpaw stepped back her whiskers twitching. "H-hi.."

Daisypaw jumped to the sound of Riverpaw's voice. She turned around to have her eyes meet the molly. The former kittypet felt a little awkward for being startled by the molly. " Oh my Darkclan you scared me. I didn't expect anybody to talk to me. " she meowed. She began to feel embarrassed that she had just said that out loud. Daisypaw felt her fur grow hot with embarrassment. The young Molly have her chest fur a quick luck to make the other cat know how much she was embarrassed. " Hi. I'm Daisypaw. " she added, trying to keep her cool the best she could.

[MessrMoony]

Pikepaw was looking all around the Seastones for Ghostpaw. She had gone over her own tracks many times. As the place got more crowded she had to stop. She had finally guessed that Ghostpaw was in a fight with another cat by now. The she-cat sat down tired from going in so many circles. Pikepaw had still wondered if she would ever meet who had killed Grovepaw.

daydream hated gatherings.

they just hated crowds in all. plus with tensions at their ultimate high right now, did they really want to go to a gathering where thered be nothing but angry riverclanners right now? well, they kinda had to, seeing as they were a medcat and all. sigh. walking alongside goldenstar and their..well,joke of a deputy. they strayed away from them though they they went to their highrocks to talk about god knows what, honestly they didnt care. they were just angry to even be in the same room as their leader right now. and without windygale here... they missed him greatly. after they had gotten to know eachother it was easier for daydream to feel protective of him. but it didnt take alot for goldenstar to simple demote him because of a lack of communication, when he didnt even show up to the meeting with all the other leader, all he did was send windy to share the bad news of war. a coward.

they were on their way to see the medicine cats, its been awhile since theyve spoken to heatherfur and..shinefang, and the rest of them. while on their way to greet them all they felt was a warm body pressed to their paws, and a tom looking back up at them from the ground. what the hell? but honestly, not the weirdest thing daydream had ever been through. they squinted their eyes at the deputies words. this was..flint, right? of thunderclan if they could remember. "greetings to you too, flint." they said curtly, they always were a bit..stricter around newer cats. and to be honest, they didnt know anything about thunderclan.

[Mango]

Soaringpaw flicked her tail, her black fur with a white underbelly and tail-tip neatly groomed. She listened closely to the leaders speaking. Fallenstar of Riverclan, interesting, demoting a deputy and not appointing a new one. Huh. Passionstar of Thunderclan, has a deputy named Flintspirit and they just got a medicine cat named Tallmarsh.... she wasn’t surprised by the vagueness of the information, she wondered what Windclan and Skyclan had to say. She just wanted to be respectful, she may had slight issues with the idea of driving Riverclan off and demonding Windygale, but she knew she needed to be respectful.

[Why Do We Hold?]

Just gonna have Sunshine sneak in if that's okay...//


Sunshine wandered through the woods until he was hit with a wave of unfamiliar scents and voices. It took him a while to reset his posture and was afraid he had given himself away until he realized nobody had noticed. He was smart about it, using various different herbs and the dirt to cover his scent, so he was almost unnoticeable, unless someone came up from behind him.

Daisyshade was the last to arrive, she couldn’t care less wether or not fallenstar didn’t want her here. He could no longer have his hold of her life anymore like he had when she was his deputy. She had her freedom, her peace, she had her life back. Her tail flicked back and fourth with her head cocked back and a smirk produced on her thin lips. No longer the permanent scowl that had been there for a few moons, it had been good to let loose for a while and let her guards down.

She gracefully made her way through the riverclan cats not caring so much as to give anyone a second glance. She knew deep down that these cats thought of her as a traitor and would give her scornful glances, but nonetheless it didn’t effect her. She was no longer bitter for it anyways. As the other deputies came into sight her ear perked up and after a minute her eyebrows knit thoughtfully together. What happened to them? Why aren’t they up there? her pave picked up into a brisk walk until she came to the group of them, eyes dark with worry. ‘ ‘ what happened to you!? ‘ ‘ came the question suddenly not caring to say hello rather jumping right to the point and coming up to them. She looked each cat over specifically making sure there wasn’t anything drastically wrong with them physically before sitting down. She glanced over her shoulder at the other deputies on the rock, a hiss slithered from her jaws and her claws flexed into the dirt ‘ ‘ who are they? Why are they in your spots? ‘ ‘ she said with a low unamused voice. What right had those mousebrained leaders have to demote one of the only cats that had any sense? Her calm phacade passed and the scowl was back. Just one more thing to be furious about.

Daisypaw jumped to the sound of Riverpaw's voice. She turned around to have her eyes meet the molly. The former kittypet felt a little awkward for being startled by the molly. " Oh my Darkclan you scared me. I didn't expect anybody to talk to me. " she meowed. She began to feel embarrassed that she had just said that out loud. Daisypaw felt her fur grow hot with embarrassment. The young Molly have her chest fur a quick luck to make the other cat know how much she was embarrassed. " Hi. I'm Daisypaw. " she added, trying to keep her cool the best she could.

Riverpaw shuffled her paws a bit, nervous about being around a WindClan cat. Not only we're their Clans enemies but this silver tabby was nervous about being around cats she didn't know at all. Especially without Frozenpaw, her brother was so brave compared to her. As the other apprentice met her eyes the fluffy molly glanced at her paws. Though as the other molly spoke she was confused. DarkClan? What's that. She wondered glancing up from ground briefly. Honestly seeing the other molly embarrassed base her relax a bit. That might seem mean but it did help to know that Daisypaw wasn't as confident as she'd expected. " Uh... I-i'm... Riverpaw.. She admitted her voice quite and introduced in a shy manner. Why was she even talking?! Her heart was racing from being so nervous about being here.

The blind warrior Pikerunner came, he hadn’t come in a long while because of his hatred towards Riverclan, he felt this time that Riverclan wouldn’t be there. He entered the clearing and the stench of Riverclan hit his nose, instinctively he unsheathed his claws and arched his back up, his fur standing up on edge. He waited tensily for a Riverclanner to start a fight or even come in contact with him. He wanted them obliterated, now was the best chance, Windclan and Shadowclan can start attacking them now, we can send a messenger to Skyclan to tell them to attack Riverclan’s clearing right now. And we can tell Thunderclan through a messanger that the truce was broken and the gathering is over. Once we chase them back to their territory we all can squash them once and for all... his lips curled into a smug look.

Angelwing followed her Clanmates tail high behind her. She wasn't afraid, wasn't ashamed and knew the other Clans didn't want RiverClan to be there. But did she care? No. Honestly she wanted to see the looks on there faces as the got there. She couldn't understand why all this was happening, at least not emotionally. She really didn't understand any emotion. Anger and happiness she didn't much understand and more complex emotions she couldn't at all. But know wasn't the time to list that. The tri colored molly moved through the cats observing the why's others acted around each other especially her own Clanmates. If the mingled or just stairs to themselves. It appeared some of the younger cat were getting into fights and some just talking. It was very interesting.
Spotting a tom standing off by himself claws out and fur puffed she stopped. What is that rabbit chaser doing? She wondered flicking her tail behind her. Insults really weren't her thing but that word had gotten stuck in her vocabulary recently. Observing the tom Angelwing wasn't even sure what to say. He looked ridiculous standing there like they were in battle when there was a truce. Because the magical StarClan watched over them, or something stupid like that. "What are you doing? Where not in a battle you know." The molly commented emotion lacking in her voice. Ears flicking and tail twitching she was mostly just surprised how ridiculous.

Anger and happiness she didn't much understand and more complex emotions she couldn't at all. But know wasn't the time to list that. The tri colored molly moved through the cats observing the why's others acted around each other especially her own Clanmates. If the mingled or just stairs to themselves. It appeared some of the younger cat were getting into fights and some just talking. It was very interesting.
Spotting a tom standing off by himself claws out and fur puffed she stopped. What is that rabbit chaser doing? She wondered flicking her tail behind her. Insults really weren't her thing but that word had gotten stuck in her vocabulary recently. Observing the tom Angelwing wasn't even sure what to say. He looked ridiculous standing there like they were in battle when there was a truce. Because the magical StarClan watched over them, or something stupid like that. "What are you doing? Where not in a battle you know." The molly commented emotion lacking in her voice. Ears flicking and tail twitching she was mostly just surprised how ridiculous.


(If you want, she can recognize him from 30 moons ago when he was an RC kit and his father was killed and a littermate died of greencough, and as an apprentice when his mother and sister joined Shadowclan, and as an older apprentice when a warrior killed them on a border patrol.)

The tom snarled, blood pusling through his veins as he forced himself not to attack her he spat on the ground and narrowed his blind eyes at her,” Riverclan does not belong here. I am waiting for Blazingstar to give us the orders to attack Riverclan.” He smuggly replied rage filling his every breathe. How he wanted to tear this molly to shreds, but he didn’t want to get in trouble with Blazingstar.

~ Rumblestorm ~
Rumblestorm followed Goldenstar into the gathering clearing along with the stream of other ShadowClan cats. His tail flicked back in fourth as he slid easily into the crowd. The tom scanned the crowd before choosing a spot close to where the leaders would soon announce their designated Clan's news. Rumblestorm liked sitting towards the front of the crowd, that way he could hear whta was going on without becoming easily distracted by those who didn't pay as close attention and talked through the wholeness gathering.

(Considering she's only 30 moons and didn't join till she was 3 moons, on top of being very distant as a kit I doubt she'd remember him. Plus she kinda blocked most of her kithood out of her memories.)

The molly wanted to laugh but was also a bit confused by his sudden pulsing anger. His smug attitude iterated her though. To think he thought so highly of himself when he was obviously unintelligent. A true WindClanner. Meeting his narrowed blind gaze she flattened her ears her blue eyes slits. "That's impossible, I'd say your leader has enough since not to start a war at a gathering." She meowed shacking her head. " Though I'm not to sure he does. He is the reason for all this. He's no better then a kit when it comes to keeping his cool." Anglewing added not thinking about how much her words would anger the tom who was already made furious. It was sad how fast he got worked up. The very second he smelled her. "It appears your no better truthfully." She added tossing her tail behind her. This tom was interesting, maybe she could observe him the whole gathering. Watching his rage could give her a better idea of why all these cats were so crazy.

Sunshine watched the exchange with confusion. What happened to Riverclan? he wondered, then froze. If that tom was blind, like he looked like he was, he would be able to sense Sunshine with ease if he wasn't careful.

//if your wondering, I do kinda want him to be caught, cuz i kinda want to have him talk to all the clans after learning what's been going on

Oceanfur couldn't believe she came to yet another gathering, being around her Clanmates was bad enough. Most of them where just big mouse brains! If course she did respect her leader, Goldenstar, he was a okay leader despite siding with WindClan. Who did that?! It would have been better to stairs mitral and not get involved with this ridiculous fighting. Honestly the blue grey molly wouldn't be surprised if a fight broke out here and now. So many idiots, what happened to common sense? The slick fured molly mused with a scuff. Deep down Ocean was braking, her life was crumbling, it has been for moons. Ever since she was a kit and with the recent death of her best friend her heart was broken. The only cat who really understood her was gone and she'd never see her again. So she was stuck with this pointless life alone, how it should be. Ducking into the shadows the blue gray molly looked for a good isolated place to sit, only to run into a ginger tom. Letting out a hiss she stopped. "What do you think your doing?!" She demanded lashing her tail.

Fluffy head turned as he heard crunching pawsteps growing steadily louder. He thought it was Buttercupbreeze, by the sound of it. Looking, he saw that his guess was correct. The creamy molly was coming toward him with a softer, gentler demeanor. Her voice was equally soft. With a small, almost forced smile, he ducked his head and murmured a “It’s getting better.” Buttercup didn’t seem as upset as he felt, but he still felt the need to ask her “Are you okay?”

After Buttercupbreese had responded, Windygale turned to see Auroraflame greet them. He was slightly surprised - Auroraflame was well known for her professionalism. He supposed it went with being demoted. “Let’s hope Rowanflower didn’t...” was all he mused in response to the black feline’s statement. His gaze flickering about, he spotted RiverClan coming in. Frantically, he searched for any sign that Rowanflower was up there, any sign that she was the one who didn’t get caught. He didn’t see her, but didn’t give up hope.

That is, until she joined himself, Buttercupbreeze, and Auroraflame. The immediate interrogation made him jump. He answered her questions quickly and thoughtfully. “I... we, got caught. I guess you did, too.” He found his dim amber eyes unable to meet Rowanflower’s. Instead, he looked at the sand and his claws, flexing in and out of the sand. “I was trying to take a patrol to ThunderClan, but Goldenstar caught and demoted me.” this was when his voice started to quiver, but he got it under control. Under no circumstances would he cry at this Gathering, no matter how emotional he was.

"Trying to figure out what's going on before I join a clan" he said, only giving part of the truth to the molly. "I used to be a kittypet before I escaped. Now I'm trying to learn what's going on so i don't make a dumb choice before interacting with a clan. From what I heard, I should be avoiding the three clans that conspired against Riverclan." he said that last part a lot louder than he meant to, allowing Sunshine to alert himself to every cat there. "I mean, do they really think Starclans gonna put up with that, and doesnt that mean that all three of those clans have broken the code?" He knew that the female would be taken back by how much the kittypet knows about the clan, but he knew it couldnt take it back now

Sparkpaw turned around and looked. Why am I here agian? I don’t have a purpose here. No one wants me here anyway. What if a badger attacked sea stones. Sparkpaw thought that no one could notice but every cat could by glancing st her. You mouse-brain just relax it’s a gathering. Approach someone. her dissociative disorder kicked in and she suddenly felt as if she was in control of her body and was in her mind looking through her eyes but not in her body, Sparkpaw sighed and looked for a cat to talk to.

Oceanfur couldn't believe this. A kittypet spying on them to see what Clan to join. Seriously? This wasn't how it was supposed to work. Rolling her eyes she flicked her blue gray tail. "So, your a spy." She meowed disgust dripping from her words like venom. Honestly the amount of information the tom knew angered her. How long has this tom been stalking us?! Narrowing her ocean blue eyes the molly looked over the tom. "You don't just join a Clan just like that. You have to talk to the leader and if I was one I sure wouldn't want a spy in my Clan." She almost spat almost wanting to intimidate him. "A leader's word his law so no the three Clans didn't brake the code by following their leaders. But what would a mear kittypet spy know?" Oceanfur asked taking a step closer to the tom. He shouldn't be here if he wanted to join a Clan he should've gone to one of the five leaders. Preferably not Goldenstar, a kittypet spy as a Clanmate would be ridiculous.

At Windygale's forced smile Buttercupbreeze felt her heart drop. This time really was hard for everyone. Being demoted was harder then anyone would have expected. We weren't exiled so we might have another chance to regain our leaders trust. She thought trying to be hopeful. Blazingstar didn't seem to hate her, but she hasn't really talked to him since she was demoted. As she was asked how she was she twitched her tail. Honestly she hoped he wouldn't ask how she was, she didn't want to answer that. How could she? "Well, I'm alive." The bushy tailed molly offered twitching her ears. That was about all she could say. Butterflywing had really helped her let go but she was still disappointed, disappointed in herself and Blazingstar.
As the ebony warrior walked over to them Buttercup tried to give her a smile but after seeing Windy so down her spirits were not to high. At Auroraflame's completely informal greeting the creamy feline could tell she wasn't doing well either. All should could hope was that Rowanflower was doing better then them. "Hi," Was about all she said before Windy spoke again. Rowanflower's already demoted She thought unable to tell Windygale. They'd all know for sure soon. Unless the cream and ginger molly didn't show up. Then they would never know for sure, they could guess though.
As Riwanflower came up with a surprising look Buttercup blinked has she seen that wrong. The RiverClan molly looked pleased. At her words Buttercup let out a huff. " You know, I set up a Peacemaker meeting, first one Blazingstar catches us." The creamy molly explained glancing over at Windy as he sniffled. She'd be good if no tears were involved but if one of them started crying, there was no stopping them from flowing down her muzzle. Sighing the molly continued. "That's Crowmask WindClan's new Deputy." She added glancing at the ground. Talking about that made her feel ashamed even if it was for her Clanmate.

Minkfoot smiled wide as he sat amongst a group of warriors some were from his own home some were from shadowclan and thunderclan ,his ears twitched as he caught words from a Smokey black tom across from him who was complaining about his leaders choice in not appointing a temporary deputy which indicated that he was from riverclan "it goes against tradition and code!" he wailed " I swear bad luck will befall upon us all ,if driving us out wasn't enough than this will surely bring it !" he added. Minkfoot rolled his eyes and mumbled "your complaining is bad luck " he mumbled and decided to get up and walk off , hoping to find something else interesting and less annoying . The windclan tom raised his head and eyes widened out of shock to find a different feline in place of their old deputy ,their name had to do something with crow....right? He wasn't sure ,he was never really good with names but he was kinda angry about it . He shook his head and tried to ignore that fact all together , then his orbs settled on some she cats which made him smirk and to puff out his chest after giving it a good lick . Flirting was always entertaining for him ,it was like a game ,you either win or lose and most of the time he won . The brown feline smoothly walked passed the three she cats with a gleam in his eyes "ladies ~" he purred as he flicked his tail only to sit down behind them making one of them which was a silver tabby look behind themselves and to giggle " a lov-" he gasped which ended with a grunt as the same black tom from before shoved passed him and headed over to the Molly now giving him a deadly glare . This made Minkfoot narrow his eyes and raise his head with a huff , the tom stood up ,he gave his fur a good shake before trotting off to an nearly abandoned spot and reluctantly sat down by himself making him grumble with a twitch of his whiskers .

Shifting on her paws, Mistfall's gaze blankly ran over the crowd of cats. Her nerves seemed to be getting the better of her. Gaze kept moving but not taking in anything that she was seeing. She didn't care who showed up anyway. The molly only had a couple of friends left and she spoke to neither of them anymore. She was too busy to stop by Russetswirl - something has grown guilty of - and he never seemed to really be interested in speaking to others nowadays either. And since she had started attending the meetings of the Peacekeepers, she had kind of been avoiding Fallenstar, afraid that he may figure out she was attending the meetings and afraid that she would spill some things about the meetings if they talked.

There were multiple reasons that she was nervous to be here.

She hadn't actually been to any of the gatherings since the attack made by the Dusk Syndicate. It made her uncomfortable to be here, thinking about what had happened moons ago. Hephaestus' blue glare had burned it's way into her mind. She wished that she had paid more attention to what was happening with Geckoleaf at that time instead of him, maybe then she wouldn't have gone missing? Maybe she wouldn't have died? The warrior had avoided this place as much as she could since that event, it broke her heart thinking that she may have been able to prevent anything from happening to her dear friend but had not. Plus, she didn't want to see Daydream. She had exploded in front of him when he had tried to explain to her what had happened and Geckoleaf and her death moons prior. Mistfall had since begun to regret the way that she had treated the Shadowclan medicine cat, but she was still upset and wouldn't even know where to begin to apologize to them about her outburst. She was proud cat, after all - or rather wasn't comfortable with showing weakness and found apologizing a bit embarrassing.

Another reason was because of the Peacekeepers. There was such dangerous tension between the clans, but now there was tension within the clans as well. It wasn't like Mistfall was innocent in all of this, since she herself was a Peacekeeper, but it didn't make any of it any better. She wondered when this would all end. When the fighting within the clans would stop. Demoting the previous deputies would only make things worse for the leaders. The problem was; this wasn't going to stop quietly. Like most things nowadays, this would probably end with a battle. She was so sick of all the fighting and just wanted some peace between the clans, they all just needed a break. Her thoughts traveled to Fallenstar and worried about the stress he was under during these troubling times. Guilt quickly took over as she thought about how she was one of the cats contributing to his stress, though she told herself once more that this was his fault and he needed to listen to his clan, not shove them off to the side if they disagreed with him. This thought will make her feel better until the morning.

(My depressed bab, Blackpaw is going to get in on the mix Now)
(Open!)
Blackpaw hung her head as she went to the gathering and stepped into the clearing from a side route. she sat down among all of the other mousehearted cats of her clan. She had been blissfully blind about the plans to drive out riverclan until her mother had died from wounds she got in that battle. You fleahearted mousebrains, the lot of you. Blackpaw glared at many of her clanmates and the got up to find someone to talk to.

He was furious, but knew how much trouble he might get in for starting a fight,” You hardly know Blazingstar. Blazingstar has allies, unlike Fallenstar who’s only allies are his clanmates.” He spat working his claws into the ground trying desperately to keep his temper. He knew he’d be in serious trouble if he snapped and attacked

daydream hated gatherings.

they just hated crowds in all. plus with tensions at their ultimate high right now, did they really want to go to a gathering where thered be nothing but angry riverclanners right now? well, they kinda had to, seeing as they were a medcat and all. sigh. walking alongside goldenstar and their..well,joke of a deputy. they strayed away from them though they they went to their highrocks to talk about god knows what, honestly they didnt care. they were just angry to even be in the same room as their leader right now. and without windygale here... they missed him greatly. after they had gotten to know eachother it was easier for daydream to feel protective of him. but it didnt take alot for goldenstar to simple demote him because of a lack of communication, when he didnt even show up to the meeting with all the other leader, all he did was send windy to share the bad news of war. a coward.

they were on their way to see the medicine cats, its been awhile since theyve spoken to heatherfur and..shinefang, and the rest of them. while on their way to greet them all they felt was a warm body pressed to their paws, and a tom looking back up at them from the ground. what the hell? but honestly, not the weirdest thing daydream had ever been through. they squinted their eyes at the deputies words. this was..flint, right? of thunderclan if they could remember. "greetings to you too, flint." they said curtly, they always were a bit..stricter around newer cats. and to be honest, they didnt know anything about thunderclan.


He noticed the sharp tone in their voice, and the deputy figured he needed to simply inform Daydream of his allegiance quickly. Thunderclan and Shadowclan has never been to close, at least in his lifetime. But Daydream seemed the most likely cat to open up his discussion with right now.
A smile still on his face, he got to his paws, towering far above the small medicine cat. “Ah, thanks for not taking too much notice of my fumble. Don’t want to make a scene now, do we?” His purr was natural and smooth. Compared to a lot of the other clans, Thunderclan was faring really well, and his good attitude outwardly showed that. Flintspirit was, in his mind at least, a lot more stable than the other deputies right now. Both the new ones and the old. And he wanted to do his best to use his stable state to support those he could. He was still planning to take a stop by Skyclan sometime and talk with Auroraflame, he just had to figure out when.
But right now, his smile dimmed a little as he casts his green gaze around before lowering his head towards Daydream. “I just came to tell you Thunderclan’s I’m on the peacemaker rallies.” His tail flicked a little as his green gaze was focused intently on the Shadowclan medicine cat. “I know full well of the risks, I’ve seen what happened to... the others. But I don’t want to sit back and have Thunderclan do nothing. While Passionstar doesn’t want to get involved, he still doesn’t like it. And Tallmarsh and i don’t either.”

"How many times to i have to explain this to people..." he muttered before looking at the female with an extremely annoyed expression. "I'm not a spy. I was raised in a pound that was filled with old clan cats who were taken by Twolegs. I learned from them. The five clans, Starclan, the Tribes, Lionclan, Tigerclan, Leopardclan, everything. So don't for one second think I'm just another ignorant kittypet. I was told the gathering was today, and I knew the leaders would be here, but just think from my perspective. What would you have done if you knew where the leaders were, but knew nothing about demotations that both you and i know shouldn't have happened. If Riverclan is driven out even more, what do you think Starclan will do?"

well, that was a surprise. they didnt expect to talk strategy at a gathering meeting, but after windygales patrol being caught.. they supposed they had no other choice. their eyes went into slits, glancing around the gathering clearing before scooting closer to flint. "windygales been demoted. his patrol to thunderclan was caught, i was planing to have another attempt made sometime soon." they mewed quietly, gazing up towards goldenstar. they couldnt stand him at the moment. not just this, but what he stood for. they gritted their teeth. it left a bitter taste in their mouth, but they supposed they shouldnt think about that right now. "peacerally meets have been decreasing in numbers. alot of cats have been discouraged out of fear since the demotions left and right." they admitted. their last meeting it was only them and standingpaw..it was sad. "as a medicine cat i can cross the borders. i was planning to check in on heatherfur after the gathering so she knows she has others on her side. i would go to oriolepaw to but...blazingstars got guards everywhere, including on her. im sure we wouldnt be left alone even if she asked politely." everyone in this whole mess was being petty. driving out a whole ass clan for what? a leaders mouth? grow up and handle it like big boys and girls, and everything in between. daydream was annoyed by it all, honestly. "im going to talk to fallenstar himself soon, too. perhaps thatll give him some courage."

~ Rumblestorm ~
Rumblestorm followed Goldenstar into the gathering clearing along with the stream of other ShadowClan cats. His tail flicked back in fourth as he slid easily into the crowd. The tom scanned the crowd before choosing a spot close to where the leaders would soon announce their designated Clan's news. Rumblestorm liked sitting towards the front of the crowd, that way he could hear whta was going on without becoming easily distracted by those who didn't pay as close attention and talked through the wholeness gathering.

(( open ))


A large orange she-cat padded to the front of the crowd, her hulking lanky form was slouched over, but she was still huge. Her ghostly black paws moved silently as the windclan she cat walked. The crowd parted as she moved, none wanting to get infront of the fabled ghost cat. She didn't heed the whispers that you could barely hear. She huffed as she sat down, drawing her ragged tail around her paws. She swung her head around so she could look at the cats around her and at the leader with her good eye before turning to look back at the leaders. Her ragged ears flicked, not much more than shreds of scar tissue. The huge scar on her muzzle stretched as she yawned, laying down gracefully, her paws crossed in front of her. She wanted to be consider to the shorter cats behind her.

Auroraflame honestly wasn't sure how to feel anymore. She felt so lifeless, like nothing mattered anymore. She wasn't even sure if she held much emotion anymore. She felt like nothing deserved a reaction, that everything could go by and she would numbly absorb it. She nodded in return to Buttercupbreeze's greeting, her eyes distant for a moment before she turned to look up at the cats who had replaced them, now sitting at the base of the rock where they once sat. Her gaze passed over each deputy, her face scrunching up into an expression of many emotions as she looked at Doveflight. She was grateful towards the tom, yet also angry at him for something he didn't do. Her gaze went up to Grousestar. Anger, guilt and pity flooded into her gaze. He didn't understand her. Hardly any of her clanmates did.

She turned her attention back to the other demoted deputies as she saw Rowanflower approaching. The RiverClan she-cat looked happy, but Auroraflame had a feeling that she had been demoted as well when she didn't leave to sit down with the other deputies. "That's Doveflight. Grousestar didn't take long to replace me," she said, almost letting out a humorless chuckle. "Grousestar suspected something was wrong. He made me walk with him in the territory one day and he put me on the spot. I decided I'd lied to him enough so I told him I'd been meeting up with cats from other clans," Auroraflame explained. She prepared herself for the other warriors to laugh at her stupidity for saying the truth when she could've just lied again, but she'd done it with her reasons which she saw to be good reasons. "Although that was just another lie. I haven't talked to a cat from another clan in two moons until now," she said, her voice lowered to just above a whisper. Someone was watching her. Grousestar had very hesitantly allowed her to be brought to the gathering, but not without assigning somebody to keep an eye on her. She could feel their gaze burning on her back. But she didn't really care if they were watching her interact with the other clans.

Larksight was happy to be part of the Clan who had arrived first. Although he was usually a quiet, laidback tom, he found himself nearly bouncing on his paws like a kit at the prospect of attending the gathering. He smiled to himself as he curled his tail neatly around his paws, looking around. It had seemed that his fellow Clanmates were already whisking around the area, touching noses and greeting the cats from the other Clans. Since he wasn't really familiar with anyone outside of WindClan, Larksight found himself feeling slightly uncomfortable and shifting his weight back and fourth, hoping either he'd find someone to approach or someone would approach him. Sighing to himself, he dug his claws into the ground, forcing his light fur not to ripple at his own annoyance. Why do all my friends in my Clan have to be so sociable? He thought to himself with a grunt that was mixed with amusement. He forced his chill demeanor to come back, and took a deep breath, focusing on his paws. Not letting his anxiety get the best of him, the tip of the tom's tail twitched once before he finally let the calmness wash over him like a wave. Looking around once again, his yellow eyes scanned the clearing, seeing if anyone looked like they'd be friendly enough to hold a conversation with him.

Honeybee entered the clearing looking friendly despite the glares she recieved from being a Riverclanner she saw a cat who didn’t look to agressive and flicked her tail nervously as she approached him, he was a Windclanner,” Hello. How is Windclan?” She asked hoping he wouldn’t go spitting insults about Riverclan to her.

Larksight had been so busy focused on his paws, he almost jumped when the molly approached him. He chuckled at himself, but smiled at the fellow warrior. Before he could ask what Clan she was from, he could smell the strong scent of fish and salt coming from her pelt. Being polite enough not to immediately draw back, he hoped the heather-scent of his fellow WindClanners would mask it. "WindClan is doing just fine. It's nice to meet you!" He purred, curling his tail back and fourth, pleased that someone had come up and talked to him. "What's your name?" He inquired, the she-cat looking kind enough to hold a situation with.

Honeybee dipped her head pleased to see he wasn’t calling her a ‘fish-breathe’ or ‘not apart of a clan anymore’ or whatever insults Windclan had for Riverclan. She dipped her head,” That’s good to hear. I am Honeybee.” She greeting,” And you?” She flicked her tail, she wondered if the scent of milk on her was noticable or not. That starclan he isn’t being mean.

Larksight purred. "I'm Larksight. I like your name!" He complimented. He'd never heard of a cat named Honeybee before. Finally, he was at rest with the stranger, and let his fur lie flat as some of his fears for the hostility at the Gathering melted away. "How long have you been a warrior?" He inquired, wondering what kinds of questions cats of different Clans usually asked each other at events. Usually, he didn't even talk to the other cats at the Gathering because he had always talked to his Clanmates. Now, they were elsewhere with the other cats. Suppressing a scoff, he patiently waited for the molly's answer.

Minkfoot smiled wide as he sat amongst a group of warriors some were from his own home some were from shadowclan and thunderclan ,his ears twitched as he caught words from a Smokey black tom across from him who was complaining about his leaders choice in not appointing a temporary deputy which indicated that he was from riverclan "it goes against tradition and code!" he wailed " I swear bad luck will befall upon us all ,if driving us out wasn't enough than this will surely bring it !" he added. Minkfoot rolled his eyes and mumbled "your complaining is bad luck " he mumbled and decided to get up and walk off , hoping to find something else interesting and less annoying . The windclan tom raised his head and eyes widened out of shock to find a different feline in place of their old deputy ,their name had to do something with crow....right? He wasn't sure ,he was never really good with names but he was kinda angry about it . He shook his head and tried to ignore that fact all together , then his orbs settled on some she cats which made him smirk and to puff out his chest after giving it a good lick . Flirting was always entertaining for him ,it was like a game ,you either win or lose and most of the time he won . The brown feline smoothly walked passed the three she cats with a gleam in his eyes "ladies ~" he purred as he flicked his tail only to sit down behind them making one of them which was a silver tabby look behind themselves and to giggle " a lov-" he gasped which ended with a grunt as the same black tom from before shoved passed him and headed over to the Molly now giving him a deadly glare . This made Minkfoot narrow his eyes and raise his head with a huff , the tom stood up ,he gave his fur a good shake before trotting off to an nearly abandoned spot and reluctantly sat down by himself making him grumble with a twitch of his whiskers .

Harepaw made his way through the clearing mingling through the cats. He just loved gathering! So many different cats to hang out with and meet it was an extroverts dream. So many cats to talk to. Stopping the gray hued tom looked around, who should he talk to? There were so many groups to pick from. Groups of apprentices, some warriors, even a few elders and queens had come tonight. This is great! He thought trotting though the clearing. This was such a hard choice, maybe he should talk to more than one cat. That might be his best bet. Though as he spotted a chocolate brown pelt alone the faces gray tom made up his mind. Tail waving behind him Harepaw trotted over to the warrior. The tom was another WindClanner that was a given but name. What was it Rabbitfoot? Weasel something? Maybe Mink? He couldn't remember honestly the warrior was probably one of the only cats he hadn't hung out with. "Hay!" He greeted with a smile . Sitting the apprentice, soon to be warrior puffed his chest. "Mind me hanging with you? I can't just let you sit alone can I?" He asked rocking back and forth on his hunches. Honestly he just wanted someone to talk to, anyone really they didn't even have to talk to him Hare could sir here and Cary on a one sided conversation for a moon. "So, what's your name? I don't think we've talked my mentor keeps me pretty busy, especially recently. " The silvery tom added giving a laugh. This could be fun!


"How many times to i have to explain this to people..." he muttered before looking at the female with an extremely annoyed expression. "I'm not a spy. I was raised in a pound that was filled with old clan cats who were taken by Twolegs. I learned from them. The five clans, Starclan, the Tribes, Lionclan, Tigerclan, Leopardclan, everything. So don't for one second think I'm just another ignorant kittypet. I was told the gathering was today, and I knew the leaders would be here, but just think from my perspective. What would you have done if you knew where the leaders were, but knew nothing about demotations that both you and i know shouldn't have happened. If Riverclan is driven out even more, what do you think Starclan will do?"

Oceanfur flatten her ears as the tom spoke again. He had no right to talk to her like that. Even if she had made an unfair guessed about him. This tom iterates me so much! The blue gray molly thought lashing her tail. "So what, your not a spy but you here without permission." She grumbled feeling bugged for being proven wrong by a kittypet. It was bad enough to be proven wrong but by an outsider? That was almost shameful! "StarClan would never allow such a thing! You must not know as much as you clam. If StarClan wanted to be could kill any one of us. " The molly scuffed. Yeah her belief in StarClan was iffy but she didn't even let her Clanmates know that, why would she let this tom know. Flexing her claws the ShadowClanner took a set, though she kept herself tense. "Ugh I don't have time for this, your such a pain. If I was you I would've picked the Clan I thought was best and joined. Though I'm not so I'm staying with my home Clan." Oceanfur added her voice accidentally not as harsh though it was full of annoyance.


He was furious, but knew how much trouble he might get in for starting a fight,” You hardly know Blazingstar. Blazingstar has allies, unlike Fallenstar who’s only allies are his clanmates.” He spat working his claws into the ground trying desperately to keep his temper. He knew he’d be in serious trouble if he snapped and attacked

Angelwing let out a quite hiss. Why did everyone target Fallenstar? He wasn't that bad unlike the other leaders. Well Passionstar didn't seem to bad, he wasn't teaming up to try and destroy them. "That's true I don't know Blazingstar like a WindClanner would. Though are his allies really allise?" She asked trying not to get bothered by the tom's harsh words. Little did she know that he was at a braking point. How would she? She could barely read her closet friends. "Unlike Blazingstar, Fallenstar has the support of his Clanmates. Your Clan seems to be struggling with it's self more then others. " She huffed waving her tail. This was pointless she thought he might be interesting but the tom seemed to just be filled with emotions she didn't understand. She couldn't fallow this at all. None of his body language or bursts of anger made since to her. Why were normal cats filled with so many emotions?

He snarled he could not stand her anymore. He reunsheathed his claws his eyes were lit in anger. He finally lost control and swiped his unsheathed claw across the mollies face. How he wanted to see her crawling away in misery. Maybe he’d start a battle against Riverclan.

Minkfoots eyes shined as he spotted the young tom ,atleast he won't be alone tonight , and besides even though talking to other clan cats is fun he preferred to talk to his own clanmates. The warrior smiled wide as he raised his head "I don't mind one bit youngster! " he meowed with a flick of his tail, as the young tom spoke he gave the feline a quick scan and tilted his head ,the apprentices pelt reminded him of a rabbit but does he have the speed of one? Let's hope so . The tom kept the smile on his face as the other kept talking heck he would smile till his cheeks hurt if it lead to that "names minkfoot, my friends call me Minky " he answered with a prideful tone to his voice then tilted his head "what's yours? And that's good" he complemented , he honestly didn't like hard work , he thought it was boring and useless since other warriors had it covered why should he have to do it? he was still loyal to his clan though , he will fight even if he had to sacrifice his own life ,and if it impressed others that's a bonus. He does however hunt Every now and then or run around till his paw pads were aching to cure himself of cabin and but that's it . He would probably scream if he had an apprentice ,which meant more work , but it would give him good status if trained his apprentice well , and it would also make him look cool too , he has battled with that idea for moons . Minkfoot flicked his left ear when he heard some other felines burst out laughing making him look toward the sound which made his eyes shine once more , a strong looking tom was making a fool of himself "well at least others are able to find a remnant of peace tonight " he mused once he looked back at the apprentice .

Angelwing stood there a bit shocked as she felt the warmth of blood run down her muzzle her nose stinging. Did this pathetic tom just strike her? She had done nothing too him but speak! Cats were to rash! Shacking the blood from her face,splattering it across the ground the tri colored molly let out a deep throated hiss. This has gone to far. Lashing a paw out the molly struck his head. "You mouse brain!" Angel spat flicking the blood from her claws. " Are you trying to start a fight? " She demanded a growl trying to escape her. Why did such unknown emotions boil up so the time?

He felt her paw strike his head and he felt a little blood trickling down his head,” he aimed a blow at the molly’s chest, hoping to draw a little blood. He spat,” Hopefully this will make every cat who hates Riverclan start attacking Riverclan.”

Honeybee flicked her ear,” Well, I’ve been a warrior for eight moons, and a queen for one moon.” She confessed,” You?” She asked in curiosity.

The tom meowed in surprise - he hadn't been able to tell she was carrying kits. Purring in response, he responded, "Congratulations. Your Clan must be proud!" At the question, Larksight felt his ears perk up. His tail swished a bit. "I've been a warrior for seven moons. It's daunting, but I love it nonetheless," he admitted, wondering if that was a bad thing that he had just said. Happy and content that the she-cat was quite chatty, he was glad he hadn't made a total loner of himself at the Gathering.

It was time for another Gathering, the full moon high in the sky. It was noisy and crowded, as per usual. The air was tense and uncomfortable. A grey ShadowClan tom was in the midst of the throngs of cats , his blind gaze straight forward, ears swiveling around to catch the noises around him. Wolfeye was a bit confused , as his being blind usually caused at these gatherings, so he was constantly bumping into cats here and there. Yelping a "Sorry" or "Excuse me" whenever bad luck seemed to befall him enough for him to run into someone, he lumbered on , desperately trying his best to find a spot away from all the noise. The young tom felt old, though he wasn't, it's just that the stress his disability caused seemed to make him feel old beyond his years . He was about to yowl in desperation and confusion when he stumbled put of the crowds, falling on to his face. He slowly stood, feeling tears threaten to fall. Growling to himself for his foolishness in deciding to come to this dreadful gathering in the first place , he scurried to a sandy patch beside a bush. Settling down, he silently wished he hadn't decided to come. These gatherings seem to end in disaster . If a war broke out again... he didn't think he could take it. Yes, he could fight , despite his blindness. He could fight quite well. He was just sick and tired of war and battle. He wished... everything could go back to the way it was before. But, he wasn't sure if the Clans would ever be at peace again.

~ OPEN ~
A young black and white Turkish Angora tom arrived to the gathering, his whiskers twitching with annoyance. Milkshade was quite annoyed with the tension and war, and he thought it had been morally wrong to drive out RiverClan from their home. He felt bad for the poor cats. Sighing , he made his way through, weaving in and out among the throngs of cats. He reached an empty spot in the Clearing, settling down. The tom scowled down at his ruffled, dirtied fur. His fur was a stunning pattern and style, but it got dirty quite easily, and the trip to get here messed it up quite a bit. Grumbling in annoyance, the WindClan tom got busy grooming his pelt. He glanced up every few moments , just to glance around. His plumed tail twitched restlessly, his blue gaze slightly bored. Sighing , Milkshade tossed his head and stood on his paws, pushing through the crowds , not wanting to sit still. He glanced around him, trying to find somebody, anybody to talk to. He wasn't usually much of a talker. He just really needed to complain to somebody, preferably a handsome tom. His breath hitched slightly at the thought of talking to a handsome tom. Like, really handsome. He could already see himself swooning and stuttering. He smiled and chuckled to himself.

~ OPEN ~
A young she-cat entered the clearing , her glossy, dark grey coat gleaming under the moonlight. Rivershade was feeling quite hostile. Why shouldn't she? Her Clan was driven out to the old Dusk Syndicate territory! She hated that dreadful place. Huffing, she shook her sleek grey head and held it high, plunging on into the crowds. She loved that her mother had named her after the Clan she had adored before her death. Rivershade was proud of her name. But , it raised lots of questions, and the she-cat was sick of explaining herself. She was sick of the war, the battles , the intense anger and tension. She just wanted everything back to normal. She also sometimes wished her mother was still alive. Rivershade wanted some of her mother's advice and love right now. Her father sure wouldn't want to comfort her. He was a rogue who only cared about himself . Growling in lost feelings of sadness and rejection, the she-cat glared at the cats around her , pushing on and settling in a corner, resting her tail lightly over her small paws.

Blazeclaw walked by his son, saw a ginger tom that reeked of kittypet, but a the same time, of Thunderclan, and stared to look around. So far, he knew that Riverclan could be trusted after what was going on, and sighed.

Fernpaw's green eyes swept across all of the faces in the crowd and focused on one face in particular. she padded over to Cottenpaw and looked at him, "Hi. My name is Fernpaw. What's yours?" she asked, her eyes never leaving his.

Cottonpaw looked at Fernpaw with a friendly smile whrn asdf he introduced herself. "My name's Cottonpaw." he replied with a small movement of his short tail. The tom felt other eyes stare at him.

Exhausted from her long day of medicine cat duties and the journey here, Tallmarsh stood stiffly at the edge of the crowd. She didn't really feel like socializing, but it was the first Gathering since she became medicine cat and she felt that she needed to be here. Her dark tabby pelt was tousled and dusty, an extremely unusual occurrence for the normally-pristine she-cat. She didn't seem to realize the state of her fur, otherwise she probably would've been in a frenzy to fix it. As she looked out over the crowd of chatting cats, the ThunderClan medicine cat imagined how her life might have been different had she been Clanborn.

[OPEN]

A fluffy white tom paced along the edge of the crowd, his blue and amber eyes darting back and forth nervously. Glazepaw was at his first Gathering--something he never thought would be so scary. The SkyClan apprentice's already-fluffy fur was extra-fluffy tonight, as he was subconsciously bristling. He wanted to go talk to someone. He could see many other apprentices chatting away, but he couldn't bring himself to dive into the crowd of cats. He'd never seen--or smelled--this many cats in one place, and he was getting a bit of a sensory overload. He'd lost his mentor in the crowd, so now he was on his own.

[.:Virgo:.]

Cottonpaw looked at Fernpaw with a friendly smile whrn asdf he introduced herself. "My name's Cottonpaw." he replied with a small movement of his short tail. The tom felt other eyes stare at him.

"Nice to meet you cottonpaw." She said, with only a hint of a smile on her muzzle.

Turtledawn followed his clanmates into the gathering area, looking at a few cats from other clans as they glared. The tom shrugged it off. He couldn't help that everyone had their own problems, not to mention with one another. It seemed to be a trending thing as of late. He tried not to get mixed in with all that drama, but always knew every detail about it. The golden-brown tabby was a bit nervous, it was his first gathering with an apprentice. And he already lost sight of that young cat. What would his mate say about this? Or the apprentice's mother? He sighed and shook his fur out. Turtle sat down in a nice grassy spot and scanned the area.

(Open)
Risingpaw hesitated as the patrol entered the Gathering. This wasn't his first gathering, but he acted as if it were. He avoided almost all other cats, and stayed close to some members of his own clan. Not that it helped. They all were too busy doing whatever they were doing to say a peep to him. He sucked in a breath, nerves high and adrenaline pumping. He was prepared to run all the way back to camp. Not that anyone would like that. What would his mother back in Windclan camp say about his behavior? That he was acting like a rabbit and needed to toughen up if he wanted to be a warrior. If he wanted to be anything like his father who died in battle. Rising hated it when his mother went off on a rant.

The small ragdoll molly slowly began to back up from the crowd. She didn't want to be around the rest of the smells and sounds that flooded her senses. Her white fur stood up on end as she could feel herself becoming more and more nervous by the moment, she could feel her small frail body shaking a bit. This is the gathering, nobody will harm you. she kept telling herself, the she-cat knew deep down that the other clans wouldn't hurt her. The WindClan apprentice continued to stumble backwards to scared to start a conversation, but before long Moonpaw felt herself hit another shape of some sort. She froze, her blue eyes widened in surprise, and a glint of fear flashed through them she tried to pull herself together, Nobody will hurt me... she kept telling herself before tuning around. She met the white apprentice's gaze as quickly as she could smelling their SkyClan scent wafting off of them, "Oh uh, H-hello." She stuttered out, she tried to hide the fact the she was terrified to look brave in front of the other clans, "I'm Sorry f-for b-um-p-ping in-in to you." She mewed nervously, she couldn't stop her stutter so she just hoped she would look ok in front of the SkyClanner.

The lanky apprentice was still focused on the crowd before him when someone stumbled into him. He turned around just as the other cat did, meeting her blue gaze with his own heterochromatic, blue-and-amber one. Glazepaw stood there for a moment, eyes wide, unable to do or say anything. He managed to say, "Uh..." His heart was racing. Even in his own Clan, he found it hard to talk to other cats. It wasn't that he was scared of talking to others, it was more that he was scared that he wasn't going to know what to say. And guess what--here he was, at his first Gathering, speechless in front of an apprentice from another Clan. He couldn't tell what Clan she was from; he hadn't learned what the other Clans smelled like yet."You're...fine. Uh..." he mumbled. "Is this your... Uh, your first... y'know... Gather...ing?" He kicked himself internally--he probably looked like a total mousebrain right now. He looked down at his front paws, his pelt burning with embarrassment.

[Charmer]

The calico shecat sat her rump down on the cold earth, her haunches quivering with a chill as she felt the frozen dirt dig into her bottom. Her regular spot seemed strangely in the open, more than last time. Maybe it was because of the ranks. Caliaflame and Flashpaw both gone... Ringpaw had looked forward to growing closer to the two. Why had they left? She didn’t know, and she didn’t want to either. Ringpaw glanced towards Shinefang, her eyes glistening with concern. “Shinefang?” She asked quietly, worried that if she spoke louder her voice would rattle in the chilly air. His harsh cough sounded painful- almost made her cringe. She hadn’t really experienced leafbare before- it was still odd, and unwelcome most of all. “Are you alright?” She waited until he had stopped coughing, before setting her tail over his back. He was still immensely larger than her, so it was quite a stretch to place her tail over his shoulders- not even.


Shinefang shrugged off the younger cat's shoulder as he swallowed hard and nodded to cover the wince as his throat ached from the effort. "Yes fine," he insisted. He didn't want his apprentice touching him. Whatever was clouding his mind now, he could feel the undercurrent of fever smoldering under his pelt and he didn't want her catching it. Cursing in his mind, her curled his lips into a snarl thinking that he should not have come tonight. How could he have been so stupid? To risk other cats catching whatever might be coming on. But his pride snarled back twice as loud and twice as fierce. He was the medicine cat of Skyclan. He belonged here. He could stay on his feet for as long as he had to. Besides, perhaps he wasn't ill at all. This could just be his old bones groaning over the cold again. But something in him knew that this wasn't true.

A young, smoky gray tabby appeared from beyond Shadowclan. Ravenheart slipped in through crowds of her fellow clanmates, her usually sleek fur coming up in spikes as she pushed her way in. She looked around her, no sign of anyone she actually knew. Stonefang was nowhere to be seen, Hazelshine was lost in crowds as soon as Ravenheart found her, Cinderwhisker probably didn't come anyway, and Hawkpaw wasn't here either. With none of her siblings or her apprentice with her, she simply continued trotting past, all the smells of different cats filling her senses. It was enough to make her nauseous, but she held it down and tried to ignore it. "Never really liked gatherings anyway.." she mumbled to herself, and she was right. She had always had a pretty big bubble, and was never comfortable with strangers. Still, here she was. Cinderwhisker was probably right not to come, the gatherings never turned out too well. "Just find Stonefang..", she repeated in her head as she squeezed through cats, "and you should be fine."

The molly looked up again trying to keep her feathery tail from retreating between her lanky legs, she was stumped as she too had no clue what to say. She was nervous enough in her own clan, her constant state of fear, and what sometimes felt like pain. She tried to smile at the other apprentice though she couldn't seem to make herself appear happy for whatever reason. She flicked her blue eyes away trying to find Swiftclaw in the crowd of many cats although her looking was useless there were many other gray pelts and to many scents... realizing there was no point in looking she turned back to the SkyClan cat, "Uh... I-I'm M-Moonpaw…" She mewed trying to hide her fear, "Well uh, w-whats you-your name?" She spit out as fast as she could trying to focus in on the tom before her. Moonpaw's heart was pounding she thought that it might have even jumped out of her chest she could feel herself becoming more and more scared every moment that she waited for his reply.

A lone cat sat in the back of the small island. He stupidly had come to watch the warriors. His name? Well, he had none. This growing cat was referred to as the cat with no name. He was grey with sea blue eyes a slender build that of a wind clanner. He didn't know what drew him to these meetings but he would hide in a bush or other. He had to goals find out what was going on and to remain hidden.

He could tell she was just as nervous as she was, which helped him calm down a little. He barely caught her question, since she was speaking so fast, but he replied, "My name... my name is Am- I mean, Glazepaw." He stood there in silence for a moment, avoiding the other apprentice's eyes. "Uh, what Clan are you from? I'm from... uh, Sk... SkyClan," he said, stumbling over his words. He wondered where Owlflame was--he wasn't sure how long he could do this.

Tallmarsh was wading through the crowd of cats, an annoyed look on her face. She hated this. She couldn't believe that she had somehow convinced herself to come--she was tired, her fur was messy, and she had to socialize. As she was making her way to the edge of the crowd, she heard someone comment on how they didn't like Gatherings. "Ugh, same," she drawled. It had been moons since she last came to a Gathering, so she didn't know many of the cats here. She heard a tiny Nightpaw in her head, urging her to have a conversation with someone. She rolled her eyes and turned to the cat who had just spoken and said in a monotone voice, "Hi, I'm Tallmarsh. I really don't want to be here, and it sounds like you don't either." The dark tabby medicine cat looked at this young tabby who quite obviously didn't want to be here. The ThunderClan cat couldn't tell what Clan they were from.

Ravenheart turned to the new cat, and sighed. "Ravenheart. And yeah, I really don't. I don't even know why I came in the first place, honestly.". Well, she knew why she came. Stonefang wanted her to. Why she listened, she didn't know. She let out a small cry as an apprentice stepped on her tail while running after another, curling it around in her paws. So far, this was the worst it had gotten, and it could always get worse. Having all the clans here at once, flooding the area, was bad enough. But for now, it seemed she had found someone who hated gatherings as much as she did, and she was glad. "My brother, St-", and at that moment, Stonefang appeared with a small nudge. He could see Ravenheart wasn't enjoying this, and frowned, but sat a few tail-lengthes away from her. "He convinced me to come.", she signaled at him with her tail.

Shifting on her paws, Mistfall's gaze blankly ran over the crowd of cats. Her nerves seemed to be getting the better of her. Gaze kept moving but not taking in anything that she was seeing. She didn't care who showed up anyway. The molly only had a couple of friends left and she spoke to neither of them anymore. She was too busy to stop by Russetswirl - something has grown guilty of - and he never seemed to really be interested in speaking to others nowadays either. And since she had started attending the meetings of the Peacekeepers, she had kind of been avoiding Fallenstar, afraid that he may figure out she was attending the meetings and afraid that she would spill some things about the meetings if they talked.

There were multiple reasons that she was nervous to be here.

She hadn't actually been to any of the gatherings since the attack made by the Dusk Syndicate. It made her uncomfortable to be here, thinking about what had happened moons ago. Hephaestus' blue glare had burned it's way into her mind. She wished that she had paid more attention to what was happening with Geckoleaf at that time instead of him, maybe then she wouldn't have gone missing? Maybe she wouldn't have died? The warrior had avoided this place as much as she could since that event, it broke her heart thinking that she may have been able to prevent anything from happening to her dear friend but had not. Plus, she didn't want to see Daydream. She had exploded in front of him when he had tried to explain to her what had happened and Geckoleaf and her death moons prior. Mistfall had since begun to regret the way that she had treated the Shadowclan medicine cat, but she was still upset and wouldn't even know where to begin to apologize to them about her outburst. She was proud cat, after all - or rather wasn't comfortable with showing weakness and found apologizing a bit embarrassing.

Another reason was because of the Peacekeepers. There was such dangerous tension between the clans, but now there was tension within the clans as well. It wasn't like Mistfall was innocent in all of this, since she herself was a Peacekeeper, but it didn't make any of it any better. She wondered when this would all end. When the fighting within the clans would stop. Demoting the previous deputies would only make things worse for the leaders. The problem was; this wasn't going to stop quietly. Like most things nowadays, this would probably end with a battle. She was so sick of all the fighting and just wanted some peace between the clans, they all just needed a break. Her thoughts traveled to Fallenstar and worried about the stress he was under during these troubling times. Guilt quickly took over as she thought about how she was one of the cats contributing to his stress, though she told herself once more that this was his fault and he needed to listen to his clan, not shove them off to the side if they disagreed with him. This thought will make her feel better until the morning.

As RiverClan arrived at the Gathering, second to WindClan, Heatherfur followed at the heel of Fallenstar, avoiding letting her gaze wander around as it normally would. Instead, she kept her green eyes focused ahead, not allowing the glares of the other Clans to throw her off. She could practically feel the anger floating through the air, her tail tip flickering back and forth as she forced herself to continue forward. As the steady talking feel silent at their entrance, the RiverClan medicine cat could only assume that the other Clans had not been expecting their arrival. That because they were driven from their home, RiverClan would no longer attend the Gatherings. Heatherfur had thought the same thing too at first, until Fallenstar had called together a group of cats to attend. She had been unsure of this move at first, but now as she placed her paws one in front of the other, loyalty to her new Clan surged within her, reassuring her that RiverClan had every right to be at the Gathering.

She hadn't seen much of her Clanmates, aside from the ones that had gathered together to join the Peacemaker rallies. Well, until Rowanflower had been caught. Now renamed Daisyshade, the medicine cat rarely saw the feline anymore, and it saddened her that their bond seemed to be dwindling. She had continued the meeting sin secret, gathering together as many cats as she could. Heatherfur wasn't sure if Fallenstar suspected something or not, but nonetheless she continued on, practically running herself ragged between her healing duties and leading the peace rallies. For a brief moment she wondered if the same was going on in the other Clans, though if history was any teacher she was wary to put any faith into this notion. Aside from Daydream, and perhaps Jaybreeze, Heatherfur had to firmly believe she no longer had any allies, and that included the other medicine cats. A small growl escaped her lips, which drawn into a thin line resembled a bit of a scowl. She hated how this battle was changing her; making her hate a place she had once loved so much. She hated everything about it.

Tensions were still high between the Clan, as they each seemed to stick to their own. Instinctually however her eyes searched for the familiar golden pelt of Daydream in the crowd, despite her previous thoughts. They must've been with the other medicine cats, a group that Heahterfur wasn't sure she wanted to see at the moment. The feline let out a sigh and instead spotted a familiar face, sitting off to the side and not bothering to engage in any conversations going on around her. "Mistfall," she mewed, dipping her head as she came up to the feline. She was aware of the molly's connection to the medicine cats before her - Daydream had told her about Geckoleaf, and she had picked up on the name as it made its way through whispers across camp. It was a name that she had become irritated with at first, but recently wanted to learn more about. "I hope all is well. I didn't see you in my den after the battle, so I hope that means you managed to get through the battle unscathed?" Truth be told, there had been so many cats padding in and out of her den that Heatherfur found it hard to distinguish between them.

The tom meowed in surprise - he hadn't been able to tell she was carrying kits. Purring in response, he responded, "Congratulations. Your Clan must be proud!" At the question, Larksight felt his ears perk up. His tail swished a bit. "I've been a warrior for seven moons. It's daunting, but I love it nonetheless," he admitted, wondering if that was a bad thing that he had just said. Happy and content that the she-cat was quite chatty, he was glad he hadn't made a total loner of himself at the Gathering.
Honeybee purred,” Good job. That is great.” She purred flicking her tail glad to have a friendly cat. She purred a bit pleased to enjoy this conversation.

[Aquarius]

Honeybee purred,” Good job. That is great.” She purred flicking her tail glad to have a friendly cat. She purred a bit pleased to enjoy this conversation.

"Thank you," Larksight responded warmly. His tail twitched as he looked around at all the cats around him, an uneasy feeling welling in his stomach as he saw that the WindClan cats and the RiverClan cats were staying as far away from each other as possible. He looked down at the ground, feeling slightly guilty for what his Clan had done. Drove an entire Clan out of their territory - queens and kits included? He couldn't even bring his gaze to meet Honeybee's, knowing that now her family may not be safe because of the wrath of RiverClan. The tom looked away, swallowing hard.

Glazepaw looked back up at Moonpaw. She didn't reply to his question? Or... did she not hear it? Or maybe she was so nervous that she didn't know how to reply? He could tell she was just as nervous as she was, which helped him calm down a little. He barely caught her question, since she was speaking so fast, but he replied, "My name... my name is Am- I mean, Glazepaw."

He wondered where Owlflame was--he wasn't sure how long he could do this.

"WindClan.." She slowly said this was all hard for her, by no means was being social a strong suit for Moonpaw but this was going well to her.. They won't hurt you.. she kept telling herself. Swiftclaw was nowhere to be found as it was before, the molly by no means fully trusted her mentor but at least he knew how to calm her down. She hopped that the tom wouldn't pick up on her fear that was surely noticeable now, she tried to calm a bit making herself appear to be less afraid then she was. The molly had no idea how to start small talk with Glazepaw, she herself was nervous and having to talk more wasn't going to help, "Uh.." She tried to think of something else to say to break the tense air, "How's your training...?" she quietly asked, her blue eyes growing more and more fearful, "Mine is hard." She quickly added, it was hard to hear over the other cats and her quiet tone.[/FONT]

Sparkpaw looked around at the cats from other clans and frowned. We’re is a cat that wants to chat? She looked at all the cats and smiled. Sparkpawknew there would be no fighting today. An older cat would be good to talk to. However, no cat wants to talk to me I’m a useless apprentice. She sighed and sat on the ground and looked to her paws.

(Gonna just slip a reply for this in. I'm bored so why not. lol hope that's ok)

Icicletuft made her way through the crowd, heading away from the large mass towards a quieter area. A place where she could hear her own thoughts and hold a conversation. Her blue eyes landed on a spot near an apprentice. "Hello there, I'm Icicletuft. What's your name? She asked softly as she approached to younger cat so she wouldn't startle them. "Would you mind if I sat next to you?" She waved her fluffy tail towards a spot on the ground just next to the apprentice. Maybe it was the former queen instinct in here, but she had a feeling the apprentice wouldn't mind someone to talk to. Even if Icicle was a strange older cat from a different clan, she felt the apprentice wouldn't mind too much.

"Nice to meet you cottonpaw." She said, with only a hint of a smile on her muzzle.

"Its nice to meet you too" he replied.

(I don’t mind at all C:

Sparkpaw looked up as the warrior moved toward her. “I’m Sparkpaw.” Having a cat to talk to was a nice change,even though this was only her second gathering, the last one she was at she spent the entire time sitting alone with her thoughts that scared her to bits. “Of course you may sit.” Sparkpaw meowed a small smile growing on her face that she hadn’t felt in a few days. “What’s your favorite prey? Mines a vole.” She asked this question just to get a science of what clan Icicletuft was from. Sparkpaw felt a tad bit weird talking to another cat from another clan but she didn’t mind.

Icicletuft smiled and situated herself near the apprentice. "Nice to meet you, Sparkpaw." She wrapped her tail over her paws. Her ears perked as Sparkpaw spoke again. Vole....hmm the apprentice could be from shadow or thunder, those two clans love themselves small rodents. The scents at the gathering were too mingled for her to tell. "I'd have to say a bird, perhaps a thrush or sparrow. Once you get past all the feathers that is." Icicle meowed. She decided not to make her answer too obvious, just to leave the conversation open. The white warrior smiled warmly.

Sparkpawlooked around agian at the cats and meowed “You aswell Icicletuft.” Sparkpaw kept her awnser a bit vague to narrow it down to two clans but to her Icicletuft’s awnser was pretty clear. Mabye she’s from Skyclan. Clans didn’t matter much to Sparkpaw and she started the shift her paws on the ground, something she does when she anxious. She felt her mind screaming at her Is this the end of the conversation? What if it isn’t?! What if I come off rude because I don’t know what to say?!. Eventually she drained herself and the smile turned to her normal face,a straight emotionless one. Think of something to say! She already hates you as all cats do who meet you. “I caught a frog yesterday. It was slimy and not my favorite but some cat will like it right?” Sparkpawknew she gave away what her clan was in that scentence but she didn’t care. The red tabby apprentice looked to her paws for sputtering that out out of fear that Icicletuft hated her.

"Thank you," Larksight responded warmly. His tail twitched as he looked around at all the cats around him, an uneasy feeling welling in his stomach as he saw that the WindClan cats and the RiverClan cats were staying as far away from each other as possible. He looked down at the ground, feeling slightly guilty for what his Clan had done. Drove an entire Clan out of their territory - queens and kits included? He couldn't even bring his gaze to meet Honeybee's, knowing that now her family may not be safe because of the wrath of RiverClan. The tom looked away, swallowing hard.
Honeybee noticed his mood changed, he looked overcome with guilt and shame. She was a bit surprised at his reaction,” Is everything alright?” She asked concern crossing her face, she didn’t understand why her clanmates were so angry at Windclan, Skyclan, and Shadowclan, they didn’t chose to drive us out, their leaders did, they simply were obeying orders. If she had orders to drive a clan out, she would obey.

The molly's voice shook Larksight out of his daze, and he blinked at her for a moment, as if he didn't understand why she was asking him the question. Gathering his wits, he nodded. "Yes, thank you for your concern though," he responded, still a hint of unease in his voice. There was no way he'd bring up the topic of conversation that his Clan is one of the reasons that this queen and her unborn kits and family and friends were all driven out of their territory - their territory, that they had the StarClan-given right to live in. Shaking his head, Larksight looked over to the gathering leaders of the Clans, tapping his tail against the ground lightly. "I hope it starts soon," he halfheartedly chuckled, attempting to change the subject.

Shinefang shrugged off the younger cat's shoulder as he swallowed hard and nodded to cover the wince as his throat ached from the effort. "Yes fine," he insisted. He didn't want his apprentice touching him. Whatever was clouding his mind now, he could feel the undercurrent of fever smoldering under his pelt and he didn't want her catching it. Cursing in his mind, her curled his lips into a snarl thinking that he should not have come tonight. How could he have been so stupid? To risk other cats catching whatever might be coming on. But his pride snarled back twice as loud and twice as fierce. He was the medicine cat of Skyclan. He belonged here. He could stay on his feet for as long as he had to. Besides, perhaps he wasn't ill at all. This could just be his old bones groaning over the cold again. But something in him knew that this wasn't true.

Ringpaw shot an odd look at her mentor, but let it drop. She didn’t want to press him, Shinefang was one of those cats you should never try to push into something. Besides, if he was really in danger he would tell her. Ringpaw was sure that he could swallow his pride a little bit sooner or later, and if he didn’t say anything he was fine. It was probably just the cold getting to him- Ringpaw wasn’t exactly happy about the temperature. This was her- technically- first leafbare, or at least her first one she could remember clearly. With a sigh, Ringpaw looked forward, wrapping her discarded tail of comfort around herself, to assure that her mentor just had some chills.

She nodded slightly and glanced at him,” That’s good to hear.” She replied dipping her head slightly to him, giving a slight smile to him.

Icicletuft noticed that Sparkpaw began to seem a little uneasy, picking up on it quickly. Maybe due to being a former queen. She thought back to her own apprentice-hood, and how scary it was to go to gatherings. Or when her kits, who are now warriors, would come back from a gathering half in tears due to anxiety and nerves. She swiveled her ears at Sparkpaw and listened to her tell about prey she'd caught. "Oh, a frog. I hear that it takes a skilled hunter to catch those." She complimented with a smile, "Maybe you don't like it, but to others it is probably what they eat every meal. I'm sure it was appreciated." Ah, so Sparkpaw is from Shadowclan. The fluffy white cat looked at the apprentice, gaze softening and she relaxed her shoulders. Icicle wanted to ensure that there was nothing for the younger cat to fear, that everything was alright. Even if the Gathering caused nerves to run high.

Sparkpawlooked up at Icicletuft agian reassured by the warrior. At least she’s not my mother of father She looked to the Warrior agian and smiled as she complimented her on her prey. Gatherings always had high tensions but she just hoped she wouldn’t have to fight Icicletuft but she knew that was unrealistic.

(It's fine :bounce: )

Icicletuft flicked her tail over the ground. "How many Gatherings have you been too? It couldn't have been more than a few." She asked, Icicle was curious on how old Sparkpaw was but didn't want to come off as rude. Icicle herself went to gatherings the most when she was a queen. Rarely wanting to be chosen to go as an apprentice, or even now as a warrior. But she had to admit it was good to get away from her clan members for a few moments.

[Why Do We Hold?]

Blazeclaw looked among the hundreds of cats, anticipating battle, waiting for something to happen. He always expected the worst of people, and had a hard time trusting people, unless his son trusted them. Even then, he still knew that everybody had the capacity to do bad things. Nonetheless, he would try to be as civil as he possibly could. No prophecy had come from starclan, as far as he knew, so there had to be something that was going to happen, right?

Icicletuft nodded as Sparkpaw spoke. It all clicked now. The apprentice was still young, very young still. And had many moons to get used to being around so many other cats, from her own and from different clans. "Probably over thirty. Not a lot while I was an apprentice, I always asked my mentor if I could stay behind. Or made an excuse that I wasn't feeling well when picked. Looking back I probably shouldn't have done that." She explained, eyes lighting up a bit. Icicle saw a lot of herself or one of her kits in Sparkpaw. She could imagine how the small red tabby felt and had a lot of sympathy. "Some advice I could give is to breathe and remember it will be okay. And to take opportunities laid at your paws." The white cat said softly. The Skyclanner decided to make the conversation continue on, sensing Sparkpaw being uncomfortable.

Sparkpawnodded and looked at Icicletuft seeing wisdom in her eyes and trusting her. She looked around her and felt warmer inside listening to Icicletuft made her feel like she should appreciate this. Sparkpawfelt as if Icicletuft was her mother from a different clan. One that was better than her biological mother. “We are all lucky to live this life and we should cherish it even if we go to StarClan we still should and love our life here in these clans.” You sound like a mouse-brain. The Shadowclanner looked back to Icicletuft agian and smiled. She smelled the air around and couldn’t pick out the scents around her but she knew she would be able to trust Icicletuft.

"WindClan.." She slowly said this was all hard for her, by no means was being social a strong suit for Moonpaw but this was going well to her.. They won't hurt you.. she kept telling herself. Swiftclaw was nowhere to be found as it was before, the molly by no means fully trusted her mentor but at least he knew how to calm her down. She hopped that the tom wouldn't pick up on her fear that was surely noticeable now, she tried to calm a bit making herself appear to be less afraid then she was. The molly had no idea how to start small talk with Glazepaw, she herself was nervous and having to talk more wasn't going to help, "Uh.." She tried to think of something else to say to break the tense air, "How's your training...?" she quietly asked, her blue eyes growing more and more fearful, "Mine is hard." She quickly added, it was hard to hear over the other cats and her quiet tone.

Glazepaw shrugged awkwardly. "I just started, so... it's... y'know... pretty hard," he mumbled. He didn't know how to hold a conversation, and it seemed that Moonpaw didn't either. He stood there in silence, avoiding Moonpaw's gaze and not knowing what to say. This encounter was excruciating. They were both nervous and awkward, and neither of them knew what to say. The skinny white tom sighed and moved away from the crowd and towards an oak tree, motioning with his tail for Moonpaw to follow. Hopefully it would be easier for them to talk in the quieter, less stressful environment.

Ravenheart turned to the new cat, and sighed. "Ravenheart. And yeah, I really don't. I don't even know why I came in the first place, honestly.". Well, she knew why she came. Stonefang wanted her to. Why she listened, she didn't know. She let out a small cry as an apprentice stepped on her tail while running after another, curling it around in her paws. So far, this was the worst it had gotten, and it could always get worse. Having all the clans here at once, flooding the area, was bad enough. But for now, it seemed she had found someone who hated gatherings as much as she did, and she was glad. "My brother, St-", and at that moment, Stonefang appeared with a small nudge. He could see Ravenheart wasn't enjoying this, and frowned, but sat a few tail-lengthes away from her. "He convinced me to come.", she signaled at him with her tail.

Tallmarsh glared at the apprentices as they ran by. She didn't recognize them, so they probably weren't from ThunderClan. She wasn't sure, though, since she always seemed to find a new face coming into her den every day. She flicked her long tail at the apprentices as they disappeared into the crowd again. She gave a minuscule nod to Stonefang. Being the brat that she was, Tallmarsh never gave respect to someone unless she knew they deserved it, and she had just met Stonefang, so he obviously didn't deserve her respect. She sighed, "I haven't come to a Gathering in moons. I only came because this is my first Gathering as a medicine cat." The dark tabby licked the fur on her chest, smoothing down the already-smooth fur. "So, what Clan are you from?" she asked the two siblings.

"Shadowclan." Ravenheart turned her attention back to Tallmarsh, her tail curling around her paws. "I usually come to the gatherings, though I never enjoy them, especially what happened at the last gathering. I just stopped enjoying them when I became a warrior, I guess." She was never really that close to anyone when she became a warrior, it wasn't too strange why she stopped liking the crowds. She never liked them in the first place, since she tended to trip or trip other cats when she was smaller, but eventually all the smells and noises overwhelmed her. Stonefang was still there, fidgeting with his paws. He had gotten a bit farther away, but was still there. Where Hazelshine was, Ravenheart still didn't know. Not like it mattered now, but she just wondered. "So, did you come to the gathering with anybody?"

Tallmarsh flicked one ear. She had stopped coming to Gatherings shortly after becoming a warrior. She had never enjoyed in the first place, but her mentor had always forced her to come when she was an apprentice. They always said Tallmarsh 'needed to socialize more'. She had always ended up sitting at the back, barely paying attention. She was always more focused on not getting her pelt dirty and making sure she avoided all possible social interactions. She replied with a bit of a snarky tone, "I guess I came with ThunderClan. But if you're asking if I have any family or friends that I meant to stay by during this whole affair, that would be a no." She had a couple friends, but she wasn't sure if they were even here--Palethunder, Nightpaw... that was about it. She looked out over the crowd. "I don't have any family in the Clans. I was a loner before I joined ThunderClan," she explained. She shifted her weight to one side. It seemed that she was scaring away this ShadowClanner's brother, but this wasn't totally out of the ordinary. Tallmarsh was used to driving others away or making them dislike her with her abrasive personality.

Icicletuft smiled, a warm feeling swelling up in her chest for a moment. It dissipated after a moment. The white cat turned as Sparkpaw spoke, blue eyes focusing on the Shadowclan apprentice. She blinked a few times after hearing her speak. "You are entirely right." Icicle said. Something about this apprentice, I can't quite put my claw on it. But she seems wiser than her moons. Shadowclan is lucky to have an apprentice like her. Icicletuft fluffed up her fur as she felt a breeze.

As RiverClan arrived at the Gathering, second to WindClan, Heatherfur followed at the heel of Fallenstar, avoiding letting her gaze wander around as it normally would. Instead, she kept her green eyes focused ahead, not allowing the glares of the other Clans to throw her off. She could practically feel the anger floating through the air, her tail tip flickering back and forth as she forced herself to continue forward. As the steady talking feel silent at their entrance, the RiverClan medicine cat could only assume that the other Clans had not been expecting their arrival. That because they were driven from their home, RiverClan would no longer attend the Gatherings. Heatherfur had thought the same thing too at first, until Fallenstar had called together a group of cats to attend. She had been unsure of this move at first, but now as she placed her paws one in front of the other, loyalty to her new Clan surged within her, reassuring her that RiverClan had every right to be at the Gathering.

She hadn't seen much of her Clanmates, aside from the ones that had gathered together to join the Peacemaker rallies. Well, until Rowanflower had been caught. Now renamed Daisyshade, the medicine cat rarely saw the feline anymore, and it saddened her that their bond seemed to be dwindling. She had continued the meeting sin secret, gathering together as many cats as she could. Heatherfur wasn't sure if Fallenstar suspected something or not, but nonetheless she continued on, practically running herself ragged between her healing duties and leading the peace rallies. For a brief moment she wondered if the same was going on in the other Clans, though if history was any teacher she was wary to put any faith into this notion. Aside from Daydream, and perhaps Jaybreeze, Heatherfur had to firmly believe she no longer had any allies, and that included the other medicine cats. A small growl escaped her lips, which drawn into a thin line resembled a bit of a scowl. She hated how this battle was changing her; making her hate a place she had once loved so much. She hated everything about it.

Tensions were still high between the Clan, as they each seemed to stick to their own. Instinctually however her eyes searched for the familiar golden pelt of Daydream in the crowd, despite her previous thoughts. They must've been with the other medicine cats, a group that Heahterfur wasn't sure she wanted to see at the moment. The feline let out a sigh and instead spotted a familiar face, sitting off to the side and not bothering to engage in any conversations going on around her. "Mistfall," she mewed, dipping her head as she came up to the feline. She was aware of the molly's connection to the medicine cats before her - Daydream had told her about Geckoleaf, and she had picked up on the name as it made its way through whispers across camp. It was a name that she had become irritated with at first, but recently wanted to learn more about. "I hope all is well. I didn't see you in my den after the battle, so I hope that means you managed to get through the battle unscathed?" Truth be told, there had been so many cats padding in and out of her den that Heatherfur found it hard to distinguish between them.

Though she seemed to be panicking a bit on the inside as she thought about the Syndicate attack and her betrayal to her closest friend, the warrior looked collected on the outside. Her gaze did stare out, clearly not looking as she was in thought, and she sat almost completely still with the exception on her paws shifting slightly. But no one would really pay any attention to her as they spoke amongst themselves so no one would really take note of her subtle shifting. Se was so lost in thought that she hadn't even noticed the molly making their way towards her. Heatherfur's words caught her off guard. Mistfall quickly turned to see the medicine cat respectfully dipping her head. The warrior was pretty young and did not hold a high rank so the gesture was a bit surprising to her, but she nonetheless appreciated Heatherfur's politeness. Of course, the fact that the medicine cat had approached her at all was much more surprising than the gesture. Despite them both going to Peacemaker meetings they never really spoke before, there was no real reason to. But she shrugged this off as Heatherfur simply being nice and that she was being overly suspicious of others... again.

Returning the respectful dip of her head, Mistfall greeted Heatherfur back. "Hello Heatherfur," she felt a bit anxious as she was not well with speaking with new people - more painfully shy about the situation rather than simply disliking speaking to others. The warrior did not understand how Heatherfur could keep track of all the cats that went in and out of her den after the battle, unaware that she actually couldn't keep track of all that, and hesitated before explaining why she had not gone to see the medicine cat. Despite her age Mistfall was an incredible fighter and would leave a battle not too badly injured, but the reasoning for this is that she had started training in the Dark Forest as a very young age. She had not obtained fighting moves but also a sort of blood-lust and love for fighting during her time there. And none of this was something that she wished to explain to anyone especially not a medicine cat. "I was able to come out of the battle without being too badly injured. Luckily I didn't have to fight anyone by myself and was able to team up with another clan-mate while facing off with someone," she was sure that the last part was an obvious lie to Heatherfur, but continued on so that she didn't focus too much on that part. "I saw many with much worse injuries than I had so I thought it was best not to overwhelm you nor take away any herbs and attention that they needed more than me."

She watched Heatherfur for a moment, wondering what else to say to her. She ad been having a hard time being around the medicine cats after Geckoleaf had disappeared, and she was even worse now after finding out that she had died moons ago. It wasn't that she disliked them... she couldn't exactly explain it, but she felt as though it should be Geckoleaf in the medicine den treating patients, like it was wrong when she saw someone else fulfilling those duties. Not that she'd ever tell Heatherfur this - nor did she ever tell Juniperpaw such things. Though she would normally not pursue a conversation, Mistfall believed that Heatherfur had approached her for a reason other than just asking if she were okay after the last battle. "And you? Are you doing alright? I'm sure you must have been overwhelmed after the battle, I do hope that you still have a comfortable amount of herbs left," though she was no medicine cat, Mistfall was aware that leaf-fall and leaf-bare brought difficulty for finding herbs as it did with prey.

The rag doll carefully slunked behind the tomcat. She followed him her blue gaze reflecting the moonlight that shined above. reaching the oak tree her spine relaxed, retreating from its arched shape and falling flat once again as it had been. Her legs felt a bit wobbly, her fear. With a small smile she looked back up at him, under the darker light of the oak tree her pelt looked a bit more gray then it had been. "Well, we uh... both seem too be a bit..." She paused for a moment "Nervous." She said looking down at her paws and her blue eyes shining.

The she cat stepped in, her eyes wide. It was her first gathering! The apprentice sighed. She didn't have friends. The she cat laid down, closing her eyes. "No one will talk to a thing like me..A waste...A mistake.. No one will care for me... no one... j-just no one..." Tears fell down her cheek. "Why? WHy though? I try and try.. I try to be nice.. I try to be funny...But all I do... are hurt others.... I killed my sister... I killed my brother... I..." She looked to the sky. "I KILLED EVERYONE I LOVE" She wailed. fresh

The rag doll carefully slunked behind the tomcat. She followed him her blue gaze reflecting the moonlight that shined above. reaching the oak tree her spine relaxed, retreating from its arched shape and falling flat once again as it had been. Her legs felt a bit wobbly, her fear. With a small smile she looked back up at him, under the darker light of the oak tree her pelt looked a bit more gray then it had been. "Well, we uh... both seem too be a bit..." She paused for a moment "Nervous." She said looking down at her paws and her blue eyes shining.

Sitting down under the tree, Glazepaw chuckled awkwardly "Yeah, I guess so..." As yet another moment of awkward silence ensued, the fluffy white tom looked everywhere but at Moonpaw. Being a dorky adolescent tom, he had no idea how to talk to other apprentices, and especially not she-cats. When he finally glanced back at her, he was glad to see that she seemed to have calmed down a bit. "Seems neither of us really, uh, like this Gathering thing, huh?" he said.

"Yes and no. I mean, its been great watching cottonpaw, im extremely proud of him, but sometimes i think he just sees me as a mentor and not as a father" he said, melancholy practically dripping from his words"

Soaringpaw nervously entered the clearing, it was her first time going to the gathering. She was really nervous and scared. She knew she’d have to pay close attention to the leaders. She settled down her black fur with a white underbelly neatly groomed as she listened to the leaders speak.

Soaringpaw entered the gathering, she had no interest in socializing only listening to the leaders and getting out of there. She settled down her mostly black fur ruffles slightly as her green eyes focused ahead at the leaders.

Sunshine continued to skulk around, mostly trying to figure out who was the Thunderclan leader, because he had a feeling the Gathering was almost over. There he saw Soaringpaw, but didnt really know whether to walk over or not. He was still considered a Kittypet, and so he was an outsider still

Soaringpaw saw a cat sulking and glanced at him before flicking his eyes back to the leaders listening closely. She wondered what clan he was from, but did not dwell on it.

(Wait doesn’t Sunshine know his own leader?)


She didn’t think much of the cat wandering off into the woods, she wanted to listen to the leaders, she noticed they were being rather critical towards Fallenstar. She found it quite intriging that all the clans had new deputies, but Riverclan simply didn’t have one.

//no. He hasnt officially joined Thunderclan yet.

Sunshine heard the Leaders talking and slowly turned around and started to approach where the apprentice was, but he didnt look at her. He figured she probably figured out he was still technically a kittypet, and was actively trying to stop himself from explaining why he was here. he already explained enough.

Sighing, Sunshine left his spot trying to listen to the leaders. maybe im thinking about this too much... The cats define the clans, not the actions they take as a group, right? he thought, then grimaced. Even in his head, he knew his thinking was wrong. He wished someone would stop treating him like an outcast

A small graceful dark tortoiseshell and white she-cat with large soft amber eyes and white tipped ears excitedly steps into the clearing. Her coat is dappled and mottled with orange and black markings and she has a small pink nose. One of her eyes is rimmed with darker fur then the other and she has small white paws and a black tipped tail, gold and brown striped tabby tail.

Tallmarsh flicked one ear. She had stopped coming to Gatherings shortly after becoming a warrior. She had never enjoyed in the first place, but her mentor had always forced her to come when she was an apprentice. They always said Tallmarsh 'needed to socialize more'. She had always ended up sitting at the back, barely paying attention. She was always more focused on not getting her pelt dirty and making sure she avoided all possible social interactions. She replied with a bit of a snarky tone, "I guess I came with ThunderClan. But if you're asking if I have any family or friends that I meant to stay by during this whole affair, that would be a no." She had a couple friends, but she wasn't sure if they were even here--Palethunder, Nightpaw... that was about it. She looked out over the crowd. "I don't have any family in the Clans. I was a loner before I joined ThunderClan," she explained. She shifted her weight to one side. It seemed that she was scaring away this ShadowClanner's brother, but this wasn't totally out of the ordinary. Tallmarsh was used to driving others away or making them dislike her with her abrasive personality.

(sorry for taking so long to respond !)

Ravenheart frowned slightly. "I get how you feel", she purred, almost dissapointed, "I've lived my whole life in Shadowclan, but I can understand where you're coming from. Smokestep..Raccoonpaw..". She had started to murmur out a few names, but stopped as She did. She didn't want to make the conversation about herself, she felt it would just look like she wanted pity. Seeing how Tallmarsh shifted off, she looked over to her brother, lying cross-pawed on the grass, looking off in some other direction. She stuck whatever she was thinking about to the back of her mind, where it originally was.

Her coat is dappled and mottled with orange and black markings and she has a small pink nose. One of her eyes is rimmed with darker fur then the other and she has small white paws and a black tipped tail, gold and brown striped tabby tail.

while she was watching the leaders, Kiwipaw noticed a tortoiseshell she-cat step near her. Hm? I wonder who she is? I should introduce myself. "Hi! I'm Kiwipaw, a Shadowclan apprentice. Who are you?" She meowed cheerfully. She realized how happy she sounded. Cats from Shadowclan would sometimes tease her for how she acted, and where she came from, but she didn't care. Although she do hope the she-cat would respond. She shifted around awkwardly on the clearing's ground.

[.:Virgo:.]

"Its nice to meet you too" he replied.
She smiled a little more and the brown striped and spotted cat flicked her long fluffy tail, "Anyways Whats happening in Windclan?" She asked and blinked.

She stuck whatever she was thinking about to the back of her mind, where it originally was.

Tallmarsh gave a curt nod. "Who's that?" she had to ask. She had decided that someone couldn't just throw names out there and not explain. Ravenheart seemed closed off to her, which she totally understood. Tallmarsh wasn't exactly a super open cat, either. She wasn't about to sit here and tell this ShadowClanner her whole life story, and she didn't expect anything from the cat before her, either. She wrapped her long tail around her paws as the apprentices from her came running by again.

"Smokestep was my mother. And Raccoonpaw was one of my best friends when we were apprentices." Ravenheart could feel a lump forming in her throat. She didn't know why she brought them up in the first place, she certainly didn't want to talk about them. But she already had. She bit her bottom lip, still not wanting to respond. "They..uh.." she couldn't manage to get the words out, and she could see the same sorrow growing in Stonefang's eyes. "Actually, let's not talk about it. I didn't really mean to change the subject."

A feline who smelled strongly of ThunderClan was making her way through the crowded area of the Gathering, her ears pointed and alert. Her tortoiseshell pelt seemed to gleam in the full moonlight, and her head was high. By a simple glance you could tell this cat held herself to a high standard, and she wasn't one to be messed with. Especially on a night like this. Oh, how these peasants annoyed her, with their constant bickering over who was better. It was obvious who the best one was. They didn't need to argue about it. Why can't they just fall in line behind me instead of arguing over what Clan is best? No Clan is best. I'm the best. Everyone knows it. The white tortoiseshell sniffed in disgust. Her thoughts were soon interrupted, however, by a loud yowl of a young she-cat. She looked down, obviously irritated by the way her ears flicked and her tail swayed. Her eyes were dismissive as she glared down upon the distressed apprentice. "Look, kitten, I may have ears, but that does not mean I'd like them to be wailed into." She raised her head back up to its usual posture. "Apologize."

A dark colored tom practically fell into the Gathering clearing, his expression as goofy as his fall. The dark brown tom was what one would call "the jokester"- he was almost never sad or serious, and he was constantly breaking rules because the punishments didn't bother him in the slightest. Vultureheart was seemingly untouchable. Rude comments were answered with a "thank you!" or "you should really be nicer!". So it was no surprise when he trotted- or stumbled- over to a young apprentice with a black tuxedo pelt. "This your first Gathering?" he asked with the same grin he always offered. "Oh boy, I remember my first one. That was fuuuuuun. All my Gatherings have been fun." He gave a chuckle. "What's your name?"

The she cat used her tail to wipe her tears, "M-My name is Lavenderpaw from Riverclan..." She whispered. Her ears fell flat. "Whats your name?" She then scoffed. "Like a warrior would tell a mistake apprentice like me right.." She set her head down again, a shadow casting over her eyes.

Lionroar glanced around the gathering, surveying the cats of different Clans all sitting in the gathering, chatting among each other. The thick-furred orange tom sat in a shaded part of the area, letting his smooth fur fluff out a bit, giving it a messier appearance than it had moments before, which was how he preferred it. He smirked slightly,curling his tail around himself.

Lotuspetal padded calmly into the Gathering, her eyes sweeping over the Gathering. The tall, calm-looking she-cat walked closer to the front of the area, sitting gracefully and taking a deep breath, her eyes fixed on the leaders of each Clan as her ears perked up, an attentive look in her dark blue eyes.

Foambubble rushed into the Gathering, his eyes wide with kit-like excitement at all the different cats, as well as the leader of each Clan. The excitable tom grinned eagerly, he pondered approaching someone to talk to, but decided that'd be a bit strange and settled on sitting in a crowded area of the Clearing.

Firefall was nervous as always, slightly hunched over and ears flattened against his head as he swallowed heavily. His amber eyes flicked back and forth nervously, biting his bottom lip as he sat in a shaded corner, his paws close to his body and his tail curling around them. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his frayed nerves, before opening them again, trying to avoid direct eye contact with anyone else.

A dark tan she-cat entered the Gathering with wide amber eyes, her tail flicking behind her as she let out an excited noise and padded further into the Gathering, taking long strides and sitting near the middle, her ears pricked up and eyes remaining wide with excitement even after she sat. Caracalspirit had been to Gatherings before, but they always excited her anyways.

well, that was a surprise. they didnt expect to talk strategy at a gathering meeting, but after windygales patrol being caught.. they supposed they had no other choice. their eyes went into slits, glancing around the gathering clearing before scooting closer to flint. "windygales been demoted. his patrol to thunderclan was caught, i was planing to have another attempt made sometime soon." they mewed quietly, gazing up towards goldenstar. they couldnt stand him at the moment. not just this, but what he stood for. they gritted their teeth. it left a bitter taste in their mouth, but they supposed they shouldnt think about that right now. "peacerally meets have been decreasing in numbers. alot of cats have been discouraged out of fear since the demotions left and right." they admitted. their last meeting it was only them and standingpaw..it was sad. "as a medicine cat i can cross the borders. i was planning to check in on heatherfur after the gathering so she knows she has others on her side. i would go to oriolepaw to but...blazingstars got guards everywhere, including on her. im sure we wouldnt be left alone even if she asked politely." everyone in this whole mess was being petty. driving out a whole ass clan for what? a leaders mouth? grow up and handle it like big boys and girls, and everything in between. daydream was annoyed by it all, honestly. "im going to talk to fallenstar himself soon, too. perhaps thatll give him some courage."


Flintspirt listened intently as Daydream described the inner workings of what was going on. His facial features morphed into that of a more serious expression, one that showed he both cared and had thought about the subject at hand. At the mention of Windclan and Blazingstar, Flintspirit’s ears flattened against his head. He didn’t try to hide it. He wasn’t a fan of the ginger Windclan leader at all. There’s only one ginger leader that I respect. The fake can go burn. With a subtle lash of his feathery tail, he refocused his attention on Daydream. With a nod, the Thunderclanner glanced over at the leaders, his gaze lingering on the mentioned black-furred Riverclan tom. “Well, if you ever need any extra help, don’t be afraid to ask. The peacemaker rallies in my clan are fairly new, so not many cats have attended yet...” He trailed off, remembering how hard it had been to single out the cats he knew would be in support of his plan. Well, his branching off of the medicine cat’s plans. “We’ll support the peacemakers to the end though.” He gave the golden cat a bright smile, his optimism shining through. Which was a rare thing for Flintspirit, he normally wasn’t a typically optimistic cat.
