*-Lark'star'-*
She/her | 18 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Once again, the terrible time had come for another gathering. Cats talking so loud, eyes on her no matter how much she wanted to hide…. The terrible responsibility of explaining how another one of their leaders had died so soon. Larkwing… star… didn’t know if she could stand the idea of that, would the other clans decide to shoot her with their accusatory glares and words as well as her own clan? Would the whispers of rebellion that were already sounding from every corner of the camp clearing and their territory going to follow her here too? …Was she just being paranoid?

Luckily enough, it seemed that RiverClan was the first to arrive at the Seastones, so, for the moment at least, Lark could prepare herself. Pausing just before entering the area where the clans would gather, Lark cast a glance back to her clan, wondering briefly if they would behave. It seemed like every gathering always had some sort of fuss… last moons being an odd, slightly less rowdy exception. Maybe this moon would be more of that. Stars, she hoped so.

“Let’s go,” she said to her clan, flicking an ear for them to follow her, and Lark led the way across the sandy ground, finding her way to the stones she and the other leaders would sit atop to address the other clans, and jumped up, green eyes seeing the Seastones from a whole new vantage point and perspective. It was… pretty. Intimidating, yes, but Lark found it quite pretty up here. And then she remembered that she’d have to share this perch with the other leaders and she suppressed a shudder. Bumblestar, Twilightstar and Dawnstar… the three other leaders all had some things she didn’t, experience, their names, and extra lives, even if it was only a few. A wave of inferiority coursed through the tortie’s veins, begging her to step down from here, from this spot she didn’t deserve.

That cat she had met in the Dark Forest came to her mind then, and she realized she didn’t know his name, and had never asked. That was rude of her, he’d probably hold a grudge about that. But she couldn’t retreat or back down now, that would only be proving his assumptions about her right. So, head held high, Larkstar sat on the stone, tail curled over her paws, and waited for the rest of the forest to descend upon them.

RIVERCLAN HAS ARRIVED

Treepaw's tail flicked, maybe Primrosepaw would be here! The Riverclan cat looked back and forth for his crush, but it seemed he would have to wait longer... I mean, she would have to be here, what apprentice would pass up an opportunity to go to a gathering? He prayed that Primerosepaw would show up soon, but why would Starclan answer a prayer like that? After all his heart wasn't in Riverclan, it was in love, not to his clan.

The warrior made her way to the stone, once again wave of mixed emotions rushed over her. It would never feel normal again. Ugh, she hated it. It was so weird. Although she didn't have high hopes for this little meeting, she did hope it would somewhat smoothly. Huffing and puffing like a kit she sat her tail down somewhere comfortable.

Absolutely terrifying. When she follows Larkstar toward the front of the Seastones to find her spot from last time she realizes that she's the first medicine cat to show up... Fur standing on edge, she looks like a puff ball as she jumps up and takes a seat. Her eyes are wide, nervously scanning across the space that was slowly filling with cats... Seems as though Riverclan was the first ones here this time. As nice as it was to be approached instead of being the one doing the approaching, it was scary drawing so much unnecessary attention to herself... A lone apprentice seated on her perch... Hopefully everyone would be too busy mingling to pay her much mind.

Call her crazy but... There was going to be a lot of drama at this meeting, wasn't there? Accusations would be thrown around like stones-- this was supposed to be a meeting of peace, right? No one would dare to break that, right? Nervous gaze continuing to sweep across the clearing, she wonders if the anxious feeling pooling in her belly is something to be aware of or not... Glancing up to Larkstar not too far away, she hisses out a 'psst', tail twitching behind her.

"Larkstar... I don't know why, but... I got a bad feeling about tonight. M-Maybe I'm just nervous or somethin' but... Ah, I should have brought some thyme..."

He wanted to curse the stars, tear them out from the sky and watch the ones above him bleed for their doings, the curse that laiden upon RiverClan that they had so wrongly decided. But he couldn't. They hung mockingly in the black night, laughing and glowing at them with all their 'power'. They laughed and pointed and took pleasure of making a fool out of his clan, pushing and shoving and hitting, blow after blow after blow. Each one packing more viciousness and raw power, beating down this clan. Their crashing fall had started with Lionstorm, a cat he only knew from stories as a kit, and had slowly trickled down the long line of leaders, one by one. Frostfall, Eagleflight, Dirtfur, Sootflare, Stormcall , Splashleap, Sparrowskip, Snowleap, Slatewhisker, now it the tragedy had struck Gingerfrost, and it would only be a matter of time before it would take Larkwing too.

She would follow the same, sad faith of every one before her. He felt remorse, anger, denial at what had happened, and what would happen. He would hope, pray, beg, plead with the stars and his ancestors that in some way, somehow, maybe she could earn the respect of StarClan. Maybe Larkwing could prove herself to be better than their previous leadership, that she had more sense, more logic. That she could bring their clan back to power once more, before Evil Era, when life was simple. Falconfeather would hope, yes he would. He had faith in his sibling that she could do it, she had the patience, the brains. Maybe not the confidence in herself, but Falcon's own trust and assurance in her made up for her lack of self-esteem. She could do it.

The medicine cat's maw was clenched tightly as follows his little sister, pelt burning with the star's glowering stares, the hateful mocking laugh of them echoed in his ears. RiverClan was the first to arrive, it seemed like. He could not detect the earthy smell of ThunderClan, nor either the pungent stench of ShadowClan or the heathery draft of WindClan. Green eyes followed along the Leader's Perch, a slight sigh of relief escapes him once he sees Larkwing make it up safely, before he takes his own spot on the ground, where the medicine cats gather. He didn't really have a liking to any of his fellow healers yet, this gathering marking the second moon of his time as the clan's healer, and having only been to one half-moon meeting, he hadn't really either wanted to nor had the time to spend to get to know Drizzlecloud, or Cowtuft, or Lightningstorm, or Elmshadow very much. Springpaw seemed promising, and he also felt an unknown pull towards her, like a parental feeling to protect her. He shakes his silver head, tail sweeping around him as he sits, grumbling at the cold that pierces his not-so-thick silver fur. Tansypaw makes it here before him of course, green eyes narrowed slightly at her words as she speaks with Lark'star', but he hates that he shares the same concerns as the smaller tortie, worrying about the outcome of tonight.

"I'm afraid that I agree with you, Tansypaw." He tightens his tail around his body, shivering slightly as his breath makes small clouds in the cold night air. He meets his sister's eyes, sharing unspoken worries with her. "The others will be suspicious, Larkstar and with all the whispers of a rebellion amidst us.." Falconfeather's voice trailed off, not wanting to draw the attention of the clan gathered below them. As high ranks, they couldn't let their worries be shown to the clan, now more than ever since they had been hearing the soft murmurs and whispers behind their backs of an uprising, a civil war amongst them. As if RiverClan had enough to worry about, like replacing their deputy, dealing with the upcoming battle. His brow creased deeply, looking between Tansypaw and Larkwing, begging they would understand his unspoken words.

Pausing just before entering the area where the clans would gather, Lark cast a glance back to her clan, wondering briefly if they would behave. It seemed like every gathering always had some sort of fuss… last moons being an odd, slightly less rowdy exception. Maybe this moon would be more of that. Stars, she hoped so.

“Let’s go,” she said to her clan, flicking an ear for them to follow her, and Lark led the way across the sandy ground, finding her way to the stones she and the other leaders would sit atop to address the other clans, and jumped up, green eyes seeing the Seastones from a whole new vantage point and perspective. It was… pretty. Intimidating, yes, but Lark found it quite pretty up here. And then she remembered that she’d have to share this perch with the other leaders and she suppressed a shudder. Bumblestar, Twilightstar and Dawnstar… the three other leaders all had some things she didn’t, experience, their names, and extra lives, even if it was only a few. A wave of inferiority coursed through the tortie’s veins, begging her to step down from here, from this spot she didn’t deserve.

That cat she had met in the Dark Forest came to her mind then, and she realized she didn’t know his name, and had never asked. That was rude of her, he’d probably hold a grudge about that. But she couldn’t retreat or back down now, that would only be proving his assumptions about her right. So, head held high, Larkstar sat on the stone, tail curled over her paws, and waited for the rest of the forest to descend upon them.

RIVERCLAN HAS ARRIVED
Riverheart and Echoheart followed Larkstar. Riverheart was walking with Echoheart, when suddenly Echoheart stopped. “Echo… Echo, are you ok?” Riverheart asked softly. When Echoheart didn’t respond, Riverheart grew more concerned. “Echoheart..?” She asked softly.) Echoheart shook their head to clear it. “Sorry, I.. I just got a bit distracted.” They murmured, and the two countinued to walk.

"Oh very, I'd heard of gatherings but haven't seen one yet. Isn't it supposed to be...well...busier?" he asked. Trailing off at the end of his question to look at his other Clanmate who had decided to sit next to him. His bobbed tail thumping against the ground, he was very happy they seemed to want to come sit next to him.

He was fitting in perfectly! Maybe he was supposed to be a Clancat after all. "Hello!" he chirped. His greeting cutting short as he remembered he was talking. "Oh, yes right. Isn't it supposed to be much bigger? Surely, talk of all the Clans coming and chatting getting along like friends."

[Moonraven]

As she took point leading the clan to the gathering, the leader fought off the urge to sneeze and fluffed up her pelt to combat the cold. If things were not so dire in WindClan, Twilightstar wasn't sure she'd bother coming to this gathering. Perhaps it was the stress or the increasing problems that kept hitting WindClan, but they were slowly started to take a physical toll on the WindClan leader. Twilightstar was exhausted, but that was nothing new, what was new was the itch in her nose that made her want to sneeze and the tickle in her throat that had her wanting to cough.

She'd have to make her visit to Cowtuft and Lightningstorm sooner than she had anticipated. It's been a bit since she's been properly sick, even though she was hoping she wasn't. She was not looking forward to dealing with her health on top of everything else. As she reached the beach, Twilightstar noted RiverClan's arrival but didn't see any of the other clans there yet.

Honestly, Twilightstar would prefer Dawnstar's company to Gingers... huh? As the she-cat reached the stones, she found a young she-cat sitting atop the leader's perch instead of Gingerstar. Twilightstar flattened her ears and then leaped up to join Larkwing, settling a bit further from her at the end of the stone. Even though she was merely hoping she was feeling under the weather, if Twilightstar did have a cold she didn't see the need to give it other other clans even if she didn't like them.

"Greetings, has Gingerstar fallen ill?" Twilightstar asked the tortie RiverClan deputy with a curious gleam in her sole green eye. Twilightstar would not be shocked if the other leader was dead, she's truly lost count of how many RiverClan leaders have come and gone. Still, if it was true and Gingerstar was gone Twilightstar honestly wondered how the clan would fare with such.... an inexperienced cat at the head of their clan. Had Larkwing even been a warrior for a full four seasons? Larkwing had to be one of the youngest leaders Twilightstar's seen sitting up here.

Watertail had said RiverClan had been having trouble with their leadership, and that hadn't been shocking at the time, but if they just lost another leader in a single moons time Twilightstar wondered what the state RiverClan was in. This did reinforce her thought about RiverClan being unable to cause trouble within WindClan's territory... she might have to think longer and harder about this traitor situation after all.

WINDCLAN WARRIOR, Houndear (he/it/they)

The floppy-eared cat bounded into the clearing behind the other WindClan cats, having been distracted by his fatigue when they had set off.

He yawned, muzzle scrunching as he tried to rub away the remnants of his sleep from his eyes. They were awake, but no less tired than they usually were. The silver cat blinked sleepily as it looked around for any familiar face.

They didn't know anyone from RiverClan, and had lost track of Emberdusk in the trek to the gathering, so they settled down, tucking their paws under a black-tipped tail as they waited.

WINDCLAN WARRIOR, Faithwillow (they/them)

Faithwillow followed behind Houndear and the rest of the clan as they reached the space, slowing to a halt. They weren't entirely sure what to do now that they were here. The grey and white cat knew that they didn't want to be around Houndear for any longer than they had to, anyhow. They began walking around the edge of the clearing, alone.

[bite]

goldenshrikeLike a moth to a flame, he placed his paws wherever his clanmate's went, following: a shadow. Occasionally, his eyes darted to the side as he gauged how close he was to others. Having two clans in one place gave the essence of crowding without truly being so. Otherwise, his pale eyes kept on the figure of the cat he was following.

Eventually, he kicked up his steps and hurried to catch up to the gray-and-white cat. "Faithwillow," he greeted with a tone of formality. His eyebrows drew together naturally, exuding a concerned look when he was anything but. Goldenshrike averted his eyes away from the warrior; however, he minutely leaned near them. Crowding without actually doing so. Keeping ants in a circle. Wide eyes flicked back to Faithwillow, then left.

He wouldn't stay long. Fish for what reason? They disinterested him.[ endlesshax ]

So exciting... Gathering meant he got to mingle with cats from every clan without having to traipse over territory lines. Trotting behind his clan mates, his expression is lax and kind, eyes scanning the cats already gathered. Judging by the scent only Riverclan, hm? Punctual... He could respect that. Humming a tune to himself as he passes by chattering pairs to get to the front of the sandy space, he glances over at Goldenshrike and Faithwillow as he passes. Poor golden boy looked terrified...

Beedapple of RiverClan was stretching each leg in turn as she padded into the clearing. Her sleek, mottled chocolate, red and white fur glistened in the light of the full moon, her copper eyes glittering. As a butterfly flew past, the she-cat reared and hooked its wing on one claw. Beedapple whisked her tail in satisfaction, unaware of Birdchaser watching her. Surely a little fun couldn't hurt?

[hawkboi]

Birdchaser blinked and looked up as she saw Beedapple frolic past. She tilted her head slightly as she watched the RiverClqn cat chase a butterfly around, purring with amusement.

She/Her || Windclan Apprentice
[OPEN]

Fallowpaw followed her leader Twilightstar into the sandy area for her first Gathering. Excitement bubbled within her as she found a spot in front of the rocks where the leaders spoke. She looked around for friendly cats, but only RiverClan was there, which made her quietly angry due to Twilightstar's past issues with them. Despite her anger, she remembered the importance of peace on these special occasions, as StarClan wished. So, she sat and waited for the other clans to arrive.

[endlesshax]

goldenshrikeLike a moth to a flame, he placed his paws wherever his clanmate's went, following: a shadow. Occasionally, his eyes darted to the side as he gauged how close he was to others. Having two clans in one place gave the essence of crowding without truly being so. Otherwise, his pale eyes kept on the figure of the cat he was following.

Eventually, he kicked up his steps and hurried to catch up to the gray-and-white cat. "Faithwillow," he greeted with a tone of formality. His eyebrows drew together naturally, exuding a concerned look when he was anything but. Goldenshrike averted his eyes away from the warrior; however, he minutely leaned near them. Crowding without actually doing so. Keeping ants in a circle. Wide eyes flicked back to Faithwillow, then left.

He wouldn't stay long. Fish for what reason? They disinterested him.[ endlesshax ]

So exciting... Gathering meant he got to mingle with cats from every clan without having to traipse over territory lines. Trotting behind his clan mates, his expression is lax and kind, eyes scanning the cats already gathered. Judging by the scent only Riverclan, hm? Punctual... He could respect that. Humming a tune to himself as he passes by chattering pairs to get to the front of the sandy space, he glances over at Goldenshrike and Faithwillow as he passes. Poor golden boy looked terrified... Let's change that. That fluffy tail of his makes a point to brush under the tom's chin as he passes by, the gaze he shoots over his shoulder brimming with mischief.

WINDCLAN WARRIOR, Faithwillow (they/them)

The warrior turned their head to the golden cat, black-tipped ear swivelling towards him. They looked at the other absently, before blinking slowly to greet them. The cat's odd, concerned expression didn't seem to warrant a true response, and so Faithwillow merely leaned away slightly from the other warrior as he herded them.

Due to the closeness, they felt as if they were intruding as Duskshiver sweet-talked the golden cat. They started a slow step backwards, and shifted away from Goldenshrike.

How dare he make him look like some shrew in need of help? Embarrassing. Birds have fallen with greater grace. At least he was unsurprised by the additional, temporary company. He'd caught the vibrations from Duskshiver's footsteps like a mouse.

And now Faithwillow was inching away from him, too. Goldenshrike's ears burnt with shameful awkwardness. He opened his mouth but left it hanging upon finding no words to say. They were still waiting for Thunder and Shadow to arrive, but Goldenshrike would shrivel up and die like a dry riverbed if he stuck around either cat any longer. Thus woefully decided, he turned his eyes to the amassed flock and studied the variously colored pelts. Nothing stuck out to him; he wandered off, carefully treading to avoid the stray tail or stuck-out paw. Maybe he could've stayed by Duskshiver's pelt because his offer had seemed legitimate.

Deadmoon was towards the front of the Windclan pack, padding into the gathering with an eye on the Riverclanners all over the place. Perhaps she could find Creekpelt again? It had been fun to chat to him, and he might be around. They could leave before everyone else started showing up. Wait, why was she putting so much thought into this? It wasn't a big deal, like it had been with Rookie and Boulderhead. It had been a nice chat, not deep, lasting friendship. There was nothing suspicious going on, and she was going to keep it that way.

She looked a little shifty nonetheless.

[Swiftheart <3]

As she took point leading the clan to the gathering, the leader fought off the urge to sneeze and fluffed up her pelt to combat the cold. If things were not so dire in WindClan, Twilightstar wasn't sure she'd bother coming to this gathering. Perhaps it was the stress or the increasing problems that kept hitting WindClan, but they were slowly started to take a physical toll on the WindClan leader. Twilightstar was exhausted, but that was nothing new, what was new was the itch in her nose that made her want to sneeze and the tickle in her throat that had her wanting to cough.

She'd have to make her visit to Cowtuft and Lightningstorm sooner than she had anticipated. It's been a bit since she's been properly sick, even though she was hoping she wasn't. She was not looking forward to dealing with her health on top of everything else. As she reached the beach, Twilightstar noted RiverClan's arrival but didn't see any of the other clans there yet.

Honestly, Twilightstar would prefer Dawnstar's company to Gingers... huh? As the she-cat reached the stones, she found a young she-cat sitting atop the leader's perch instead of Gingerstar. Twilightstar flattened her ears and then leaped up to join Larkwing, settling a bit further from her at the end of the stone. Even though she was merely hoping she was feeling under the weather, if Twilightstar did have a cold she didn't see the need to give it other other clans even if she didn't like them.

"Greetings, has Gingerstar fallen ill?" Twilightstar asked the tortie RiverClan deputy with a curious gleam in her sole green eye. Twilightstar would not be shocked if the other leader was dead, she's truly lost count of how many RiverClan leaders have come and gone. Still, if it was true and Gingerstar was gone Twilightstar honestly wondered how the clan would fare with such.... an inexperienced cat at the head of their clan. Had Larkwing even been a warrior for a full four seasons? Larkwing had to be one of the youngest leaders Twilightstar's seen sitting up here.

Watertail had said RiverClan had been having trouble with their leadership, and that hadn't been shocking at the time, but if they just lost another leader in a single moons time Twilightstar wondered what the state RiverClan was in. This did reinforce her thought about RiverClan being unable to cause trouble within WindClan's territory... she might have to think longer and harder about this traitor situation after all.

The spark in their eyes soon passed, succumbing to their usual state of neutrality, and they settled onto the ground beneath them, tucking their paws into a loafing pose. Their sister, Goosefluff, would be unable to join them this gathering, sequestered away in the nursery.

The floppy-eared cat bounded into the clearing behind the other WindClan cats, having been distracted by his fatigue when they had set off.

He yawned, muzzle scrunching as he tried to rub away the remnants of his sleep from his eyes. They were awake, but no less tired than they usually were. The silver cat blinked sleepily as it looked around for any familiar face.

They didn't know anyone from RiverClan, and had lost track of Emberdusk in the trek to the gathering, so they settled down, tucking their paws under a black-tipped tail as they waited.

*-Lark'star'-*
She/her | 18 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Tansypaw and Falconfeather arrived shortly after Lark found her place on the leader’s perch, Tansypaw looking about as nervous as she had her first meeting, whiskers jittery and eyes darting. Falcon, for his part, seemed almost bored, though perhaps the set of his jaw gave away similar feelings of unrest.

Acknowledging Tansy’s words, Lark gave a quick flick of her ear, though right now hardly seemed the time to bring up such concerns. Honestly, Lark would be more worried if either of them didn’t have a bad feeling. Gatherings - though their purpose was to foster a night of peace and unity - seemed to often breed hostility and hatred. So, while the two medic’s concerns were probably valid, Larkwing had a hard time taking them any more seriously than any other concern that this night would be chaotic.

Soon after, the heathery tang of WindClan appeared, led by their leader - Twilightstar. Larkwing may not have loved WindClan, she couldn’t help the admiration she felt for just how long Twilightstar has remained leader. With any luck (even though luck seems to be in short supply for RiverClan), her own tenure will be just as long. As WindClan’s leader joins her in position, sitting a few paces away, Larkwing returns the greeting with a dip of her head, and has to fight back against the way her fur wants to bristle at the politely curious question.

“Sorry,” she begins with a small, apologetic smile, “I’d rather say what the situation is when making RiverClan’s announcements - it’ll be less hassle than repeating myself three separate times.” She offers a polite twitch of her whiskers and a small, almost humorless, laugh as she finishes, hoping Twilightstar will choose not to pry any further.

Something was off...she knew it, what was it? Frostpaw felt a twinge of suspicion as she padded quietly on the soft sand of Seastones her plumy tail whisking up a cloud of dust in her wake, ice-blue eyes flickering around timidly.

Though soon she realised what had changed, instead of Gingerstar sitting in his place as Riverclan's leader a new cat was there a tortie she-cat she didn't recognise. Was she the deputy? The apprentice couldn't remember but the real question was where was their leader?

Settling down by herself on the far side of the clearing the young she-cat couldn't stop herself staring at Larkwing her curiosity was at it's most powerful at the moment though she would never question this new cat she was hardly brave enough so all she could do was wait for them to announce what happened...if they announced it.

"Alright, ya old git. What are you planning? And if I let you go, you'd better stop trying to kill charredpaw."
"He ranked up?! Dang it! Alright, fine. I'll tell you." William crouched low. "I came to kill Sootpelt. She's gotten really close to figuring out what I'm doing what I'm up to for. I need to get rid of her." He growled. His emerald eyes pierced the beady eyes of Weaseltooth with precision.
"How about this? I let you out, and you come to Larkstar and admit you're sorry and tell her you'll never kill again, along with never killing anyone else ever again?" Weaseltooth growled.
"Fine! Just get me out of here; this cage is making me extremely claustrophobic!" William responded. Weaseltooth nodded and pushed over the crate that had been on top of William before leading William to Larkstar.
"Look who I found trying to eavesdrop that got stuck in a cage, Larkstar! And I forced him to agree never to kill anyone else ever again in exchange for getting him out of the cage." Weaseltooth looked smug while William looked remorseful and depressed.
"I'm sorry for killing people and targeting Charredpaw, I promise I'll never do it again." William meowed truthfully and with a grateful look towards Weaseltooth. FrostyGalaxy

⌦ .｡.:* ✮ staurn silverwynds Alchemist Kitsune
The massive tom was rarely on time. Cowtuft swore to the stars no matter what he did something always happened on his travel to the Gathering. More often not his fur would be covered in leaves, paws in mud, something. Something that held him up. This would be one of the instances he had made it perfectly on time. Cowtuft was confident he would be the first one there for once. He was fairly pleased, actually! With everything going on WindClan (he was trying to pointedly not think about it) maybe something could go right.

This was not the case as there were already two cats in the typical where the medicine cats sat. His eye twitched. Okay. Okay. Deep breath. Shoulders up, shoulders down. Man, he was bloody disappointed but it wasn't like he got an award for his attendance. Drizzlecloud and Springpaw were fairly nice, anywho. Elmshadow was always hard to talk to but Cowtuft didn't exactly dislike him either. Only uncomfortable. A smile easily fell on his lips while he approached the two, leaping up on top of the lower platform. (ouch! he winced at the pressure put on his hindleg)

It was only then he decidedly realized these scents were not ThunderClan's and instead was RiverClan's. And then he realized the reason he was on time was because he forgot to bring the gifts. Blimey. First, he didn't get to give them a proper welcoming at their first gathering (he couldn't believe Stonepaw was no longer in it. The tom had been so young.) Second, he forgets the gifts.

Nevermind that. Cowtuft dipped his head in greeting. "Hello..!! Lovely to meet you two.. Falconfeather and Tansypaw, I presume..?" He started to gesture slowly with his paws, holding two frontpaws far together before bringing them together until they bumped against. Meet. "My name is Cowtuft .. ! Apologizes I was not there to properly welcome you .. I hope all has been well?" This would be real awkward if they didn't understand what he was saying. He always attempted to use his body language also but alas, there was no telling.

Air's getting cold, soon there'll be a bunch of snow all over the place. What could he do with it? Roll it around? He'll figure it out when the time comes, for now, just follow the clan towards the gathering. There was quite some crunchy crunchy leaves scattered all over the ground, he actually hated it. The crunching noises just doesn't feel great to hear. He was the type to like weird things...but uh...this, however, is a completely different question. At last though, the clan arrives at le Seastones. Seems like they were the first clan to arrive! Haha. Yea! Hawkmask is here!(not that it matters too much but whatever) At last, the activity that might be entertaining! Might...cause it might not...cause technically he's just listening but if he finds someone fun to talk to then maybe!. Probably....not someone he already knows, that'll be pointless. He'll mostly refuse to talk to cats he sees everyday cause at that point, what's the point of coming here to begin with, huh? Oh yea, he needs to fine a seat! No, no, not there...but how about...there? Yea sure! That seems like a great seat! And with that, he now has a seat after pushing away the few leaves that was in that spot and now alll he has to do is wait for the other clans. Like usual the tom had barely anything to do but listen to announcements that the leaders made up on those stones over there. Kinda fun being first though the other clans are slowly arriving soon so he'll be seeing some cats from different clans now, which isn't a problem considering it's different from the faces he usually sees and oh boy he totally forgot how smelly these other cats are. Windclan, Thunderclan, still missing shadowclan though so the gathering ain't starting yet until those marsh cats arrives unless the other clans skip over em'

New moon, new gathering! That's fun! As long as nothing bad happens this gathering. The clans don't really seem to be getting along much with eachother. Why can't the world settle down with their differences and be friends with eachother? Even if it's just for a day or two? They may never know. The best that could happen is this gathering being a peaceful one. Calm, no chaos, no unnecessary yelling. Just a gathering everyone can enjoy! Yea, that's what they're hoping for in this moons gathering. The apprentice followed their clan to the seastones, a bit close to the front of the line. As their clan arrived at the gathering, they quickly found a spot to sit in. It a good spot! Not too far back, not too close to the stones! And there's not much of a crowd yet considering they're the first to arrive; Ah! There's Windclan! Thunderclan, too, so now it's just shadowclan that's not here yet! Is Twilightstar okay? There's probably a lot of cats who are sick during leaf-bare; Sunsetpaw just realized that. Could Twilightstar be sick, maybe?

Let's see if there's a spot open...oh! Oh! There! Springpaw got to it before anyone else could steal the spot from her. Victory! Maybe. Anyway, just gotta sit down, relax, maybe find a cat or two or more to talk to, and wait for the leaders to start making announcements! And oohhh yea, while Springpaw was kicking the leaf thunderclan arrived at the seastones but where's Shadowclan? They're not here yet! Interesting scents! Personally, Springpaw has zero territory tours and zero training done so Spring is still trying to get used to these scents but those things'll start soon!

Strikepaw looked around, a bit nervous though tried to keep the cool and relaxed expression stuff. Can't look like a fool on the first gathering, or any gathering basically. These guys are smelly as heck...uh..anyways, there's only three leaders up there including Bumblestar so that means they're only missing one more clan left which should be arriving anytime soon, yea? He should find a seat, not next to an annoying cat please, that would kill him. Uh, maybe he should just sit over there; he didn't want to be at the back, he wanted to be more on the closer to the front side of the crowd. If he can find a seat there. Uh...sure there's fine. Now what? He has a seat so he's probably just going to wait for the gathering to start

Larkstar looked like she didn't want to talk... Especially with Twilightstar making an appearance. Tansypaw watches the two greet each other with a careful gaze between the pair of leaders and Falconfeather at her side. At least he agreed with her-- tonight was definitely going to be a mess, wasn't it? It was in the air... She could feel it... Swallowing hard, she tries desperately to will the anxiety away to no avail--

Wait, there's a new face? At least one that Tansypaw had never seen. And he was... Huge... The tortie stares up at Cowtuft as he settles in nearby, gaze riddled with anxiety... Smells like Windclan... But didn't she meet the Windclan medicine cat at the last gathering? Did they have two? Head tilting off to a side curiously as she tries to sus out who this tom was, she blinks as he begins to... Move? Gesture and express like she had never seen any cat do before... Intrigued and immediately drawn to the older cat's presence, she shuffles in closer to him, curious chocolate hues continuing to watch him closely in an attempt to make out what he was trying to say.

Though it was difficult to translate, she thinks she gets the gist of what he was saying. She was a fast learner and pretty observant-- so she nods along, allowing herself a small smile.

"Tansypaw. That's me." She mews in response, short tail just barely curling around her front paws. Anxiously wanting to connect and give it a try herself, she copies the 'meet' gesture she had watched him do, eyes scanning for approval. "Nice to meet you too."

It was nice to have a chance to communicate when there were only a few of them present. Meeting Springpaw and Drizzlecloud for the first time had been difficult... There was barely any time to talk or introduce herself since all the clans had gathered at that point. And though she scents Thunderclan approaching, she pays them no mind, more interested into the gentle giant before her. Looking him over she takes note of the large scar across his neck and idly wonders to herself what had happened to him...

"You weren't at the last Gathering. Does Windclan have two medicine cats?"

[Snips]

Birdsnow padded into the gathering place, eyes darting around before she settled down in a loafing position. She usually avoided gatherings due to poor past experiences, but she didn't want to hide anymore. She was going to be here, because she was a warrior and she wasn't afraid of cats anymore.

That was a little white lie- she was still afraid of being attacked here like she had been in the past. But she didn't want to be afraid anymore. That counted for something.

Fennelfox

The pretty tri-colored she-cat walks into the Clearing with the rest of the Tree Dwellers. With a quick glance at the sky, she sniffs the air and is surprised by all the scents - she is always surprised at the gatherings. How so many cats can gather and be so... cordial when they're all so different is beyond her - but far be it from her to complain.

okay, maybe not far from her. Fennelfox is not good at talking sometimes, but that does not phase her. The slim blue-grey and dark red tabby she-cat starts to slowly, carefully lick her flank before she lays on the ground, sprawled out, waiting for someone to approach her. For her to toy with.

The pretty she-cat allows herself a low mrrow of laughter before she licks a paw delicately.

The happy little tom bounds around the Clearing before coming to a stop near... "Risingpaw, hey, how are ya?" He places a rock by his paws - a pretty little rock with light blue-grey flecks. He then smiles at the other cat cheerfully, ready to run and play if the other cat wants to. Or... to just sit and talk, be the little therapist if needed.

Sunleap followed Bumblestar.

Beetlepaw arrived. The ridiculously tiny almost eight moon old apprentice hoped that the fact she was very much the size of a kit meant that nobody would notice her because if they did that might think she was the age of a kit, not just tiny. That would be annoying. Especially since she wouldn't be able to explain she was just tiny since she had been born completely mute. Sheeppaw was right behind her but she likely wouldn't realize what was happened since she was deaf and would likely ignore the cat unless the cat was talking to Sheeppaw so that wouldn't help. She would probably have to figure out how to handle it herself if it happened.

Nightgaze
Thunderclan Hornet

Gathering, gathering, gathering! One of the most interesting things that happened it the clans and it occurred every moon! How amazing was that?! Very! Especially since she was a Hornet now and could get some more respect as well as help Bumblestar keep cats in line if needed so she was very cheerful tonight! Even more so since Shadowclan hadn't arrived yet.

Limping slightly but trying her best not to Nightgaze made her way to the near front of the large crowd of cats that had gathered scents from her and other clans filling her nostrils and almost suffocating her but she'd gotten used to it so it wasn't a problem as she gingerly sat down being very careful not to move her leg.

"Hmm? Ain't that the Riverclan dep? What she doin' there?" she asked half to herself as her unnaturally bright gaze caught sight of Larkwing, who was recently made Riverclan deputy, sitting in the leader's place and talking to Twilightstar and Bumblestar...but where was Gingerstar? It was unusual for a clan leader not to attend a gathering so she figured that something had come up...but she'd still keep an eye out for anything suspicious.

The WindClan deputy wove his way through the crowd, making a beeline for the Seastones. His Clan was the second to arrive, behind RiverClan and just before ThunderClan. It seemed, though, that he was the first deputy.

He took his usual spot, curling his tail over his paws and glancing up to where the leaders sat only to do a double take when instead of Gingerstar sitting next to Twilightstar he saw Larkwing. Well, it's probably Larkstar now knowing how quickly RiverClan's High Ranks die.

With a quite and contemptuous huff, Fallownose turned his gaze back to the beach as cats filtered in. Would it just be him and Vulturefang up here, or had Bumblestar and Larkwhatever chosen a deputy. On the off-chance Gingerstar was simply ill, Fallownose would be genuinely impressed that he had lasted more than a moon.

[poppy]

Dovefluff arrived, her swollen belly causing her a bit of discomfort but she was plugging away. She didn't want to miss this gathering, and had to keep an eye out for Springpaw. Her eyes searched the crowd for her friend, Hawkbite, but she couldn't find him, so instead turned her attention to the front of the crowd.

Last time he'd actually participated in the gathering, he got tackled by a Frog eater. The time after that he just sat around, almost fell asleep in fact. Now he has to clamber up to where all the high nosed ones sit. Wasn't really clambering but he still had to swim through a crowd he didn't really wish to. More content to sit in the back and relax if needed.

His stomach felt like it was getting clawed, and he felt like he really needed a nap. But he couldn't appear tired or weary, RiverClan were being pushy, and even though they have a new leader...who looked pretty familiar, he still didn't trust them. WindClan was another issue, having killed two of their Warriors surely they weren't pleased with ThunderClan as a whole right now.

Sucking up a breath, Spiderthroat sat himself a little ways away from Fallownose, shooting the tom a side glance. Just a general gaze though, a check in or check up. What the general mood of the tom was, because depending he'd just scoot further away.

"If you honestly believe that hairball meant a single word of his 'apology', then you can go join him since you're so ready to forgive him." She lashed her tail behind her. "Get back to camp, I want to have a word with you when the rest of us return." And with that, Larkwing took her position back next to Twilightstar and Bumblestar - who must have shown up somewhere in the middle of all that, sitting with her tail curled over her paws and giving a few brisk licks to her chest to calm her fried nerves. The gathering hadn't even officially started yet and already there was something annoying going on.

Oh look at this, a newbie that she could go chat it up in this crazy little meeting event. She wasted no time trotting over to this windclanner, grinning from ear to ear, it was obvious she was excited. This one would be a new face for her since she hadn't talked to anyone in the last gathering. This one she was changing that and putting herself out there for anyone who looked relatively bored or lonely. "Hello there!" she greeted loudly when she was somewhat close and eventually took a seat beside the younger apprentice. "What's your name? Mine is Springpaw!" she made eye contact with them.

[iliri]

Exhausted. Fumbled. There were more words to describe the excruciating pain that was throbbing through the dilute calico’s body, but it wasn’t enough to drag Springpaw’s attention away from the fact that she was presumably needed at the gathering. Given her current state of mind, she wasn’t fully consciously aware of her surroundings and almost presumed that she stumbled over her paws while she trudged her way into the gathering. It could be considered a rather embarrassing feat, especially given for her, but it wasn’t like the calico was exactly in the best interest for coming to this gathering; hell, not even at all. Her paws were itching for her to turn around and waltz her way back towards the safety of camp and ignore the piercing looks of the other cats that were already there before ThunderClan.

So ThunderClan was the third to arrive? Well, that was much of a surprise given the fact that the last few gatherings they had either been first or second, but this time coming in third. But, either way, it wasn’t much to dwandle herself on. Springpaw was the only one coming to the gathering tonight, since her mentor had seemingly gotten herself stuck in a situation where she wouldn’t be attending this opposing gathering. In which, that leaves the young calico experiencing a gathering where her mentor wasn’t going to be present alongside her. Would that be considered giving her a chance at being there without dealing with any potential drama? Presumably not, since it always seems that drama finds its way to the surface everytime it happens to strike its way to a random topic that one of the leaders mention. Speaking of leaders, the newest RiverClan leader was quick to catch the attention of the young molly, making her narrow her pupils as she carefully studied the new leader, feeling awash of curiosity and wonder overtake her peering exhaustion.

The new leader didn’t really seem to be that much older than herself, much to her surprise. Awfully young, but hopefully a promise for RiverClan to make it a better clan than how it used to be. From the entire time that the young molly had been a medicine cat apprentice, she witnessed leaders striking in and out again, and it only seemed to be just a continuation of leaders that kept failing or kept stepping down. It was like a loophole and never seemed to have an end.

Approaching the Seastones, the single ThunderClan medic studied the current medicine cats that were already there; it seemed that both Falconfeather and Tansypaw were already there, and so was Cowtuft. Well, it seems that Springpaw was going to be a single ThunderClan medic that was going to be at the gathering since her mentor got… sprayed by a skunk. It wasn’t going to be something that the molly was going to mention verbally because that’s just downright embarrassing for her to do, so she’ll just say for the fact that she is going to be the only one present today at the gathering since her mentor isn’t going to be coming to this current gathering. She’ll inform Drizzlecloud whatever happens soon afterwards when they come back from the gathering.

With a decent leap into the stones, the oriental-shaped calico landed neatly on all four paws as she adjusted herself to properly position herself along the smooth surface of the stones. Upon focusing herself along all the current medicine cats, she casted them a small, plantitive smile as she waved her tri-colored tail in greeting, a trill rumbling deep within her chest. “H… h-hello!… I… hope… your days… have been… well… Drizzlecloud… will not… be accompanying… us… this gathering… so… I will… be taking… her… place,” her deep blue eyes shifted from one feline to another as she glanced over towards the RiverClan medic duo, cocking her head to the side as she casted them both a quizzical look. “How… have… you… both… been… holding up… with… your… new… roles?” Hopefully, they both have indeed been growing adjacent to their roles as new medicine cats and have been doing decently with keeping up with their new ranks. Maybe they had some medical knowledge that they could willingly share with the other medicine cats?

Dawnstar strolled into the gathering wondering how the clans would entertain her today. It seemed like someone was already getting screeched out, she caught the tail end of some cat scurrying off and one of the leaders.... hang on wasn't that one a deputy? Dawnstar paused at the base of the rock, eyeing Larkwing before she joined the other leaders on the stone and took a seat.

"Gingerstar's already dead, I suppose this shouldn't be surprising." Dawnstar yawned, getting herself comfortable on the freezing stone. Her eyes dropped down to survey the medicine cats and the deputies, noticing that ThuderClan had picked out a new deputy.

Wasn't that the ass that was accused of killing her medicine cat apprentice? Huh, either Bumblestar was scraping the dirt pile or she was making a statement. That she really just didn't give a dung about her clan's reputation. Dawnstar was expecting ThunderClan and ShadowClan's uneasy ceasefire to be broken sooner rather than later if that was the case.

Well, either anyway she'll deal with that when the time comes for now she was eager to see how this drama would unfold. It was fun to watch when it didn't involve her clan.

━━━━━━━━┛ ✠ ┗━━━━━━━━
The gathering, his favorite time of the month. Ha! Just kidding! He hated the gathering. Sauntering alongside his clan, the scared deputy reached the Seastones clearing and exhaled. Well... Time for misery. Following his darling dearest Dawnstar up to the stones, Vulturefang glanced around at the growing crowd. Hmm, what chaos would ensue today? He was sure there was drama, and it was only a matter of time before it happened. Wide paws making their way up to his spot, the massive tom managed to catch sight of a new face. There sitting in Alders old spot was a new guy. A guy whom he couldn't remember his name. He was uh.... What was it? He was accused of killing Ivysnake or something and then Vixensnarl attacked him, and then he broke it up. Right, right, right... Now it was all coming back to him. Hm, seeing that he remembered it, he wished he would've let Vixen at the guy. It would've been fun to watch him get mauled. Anywho, time to pay his dues.

" Well, well, well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes! " taking a seat, he let himself grin from ear to ear. " Haven't seen your pretty face up here before. I'm guessing ya took the little Princesses spot?" of course, by princess he meant Alderstep, or whatever he went by now days. Truthfully he didn't really care if that guy was gone, just as long as whoever the hell this was wasn't a drag. " It seems you already met the life of the party," glancing towards Fallownose, he snickered ever so slightly " He's a real charmer I'll tell you what, the guy has the personality of a dried up pebble. But hey... Who am I to judge? Not everyone can be as devilishly as charming as me." huffing out a throaty chuckle, he lazed back on his haunches. At this point he was wondering if the new deputy would fancy him with an answer. It didn't have to be magnificent, just a response to prove he wasn't as lifeless and strict as he favorite Log Boy, Fallow.

The calico feline made her way into the gathering, an air of confidence surrounded her elegant gait. Her tail flickered slightly as her green gaze began to scan the area. Reflexively, her nose scrunched up at the mere sight of the amount of cats gathered in one space. To Cherrysmoke, she found it utterly ridiculous how so many can chat with their enemy like long lost kin, it’s better to be realistic than to be fake. Luckily for half the ugly mugs here, she was about as real as you could get, she mostly only came to get all the gossip first hand, poke fun at some of the squirrel and fish lovers that seem to go through their leaders like they do their freshkill…glare at some rabbit eaters…okay…maybe she was here for something else entirely. She made her way further into the gathering, her ears flickering as she ease-dropped somewhat on mindless chit chat, someone sounds upset. ’Hmm~’

“Yeah things have been not so great, my lucky rock went missing and I got sick not long after!”.

Hearing some random Thunder-nerds chat, she quickly stopped ease-dropping, obvious lethargic expression on her features.’A lucky rock? Boring’. She quickly looked around slightly, spotting two WindClan shecats whispering to each other. She tried her best to listen in, although made herself look busy by looking the opposite direction.

“I heard that Gingerstar is dead! Do you think it’s true? …It must be, why else is RiverClan’s deputy up there instead?”

Her ears perked up in interest, her eyes narrowed slightly as she side-eyes them, now this is what she was looking for. It seems like some little ol’fishes have been dwindling in numbers. She wondered how Dawnstar will react to the news, she supposed it wouldn’t be very surprising considering they have had a bad reputation for lousy leaders thus far. Sometimes she questioned how there hasn’t been a full out rebellion yet, from many of the clans. Cherrysmoke now snapped out of her thoughts as she caught sight of a particular pelt. Her green eyes widen for a moment before she composed herself. A small smirk gathered on her maw as she spotted said “something”, he was looking as collected as ever. She got up from her spot, checking herself over momentarily to ensure she looked presentable before she swayed, making her way over to the lanky tom-cat who seemed preoccupied. Coming up behind him, she gave a small scoff, making her presence known. Although her tone seemed like her regular venomous and cocky self, you could tell it was much more lighthearted and maybe even some subtle teasing in her tone.

“Seems a little fish left the compounds of their small puddle for once, swimming with the sharks are we Rushwater?”

Huh?? Who was talking to her again?? She was staring at something...something like...uh...that...tree...over there..yea..because uh...she was just waiting for something..or anything! But she's back right now so yey! The apprentice looked at the older she-cat that just said hi to her just now "Hellooo!" she mewed back excitedly, smilling- wait what did she just say her name is..? Springpaw?? Wasn't that name her name?? "Springpaw...? " ack! So confusing!! Was this other cat a copy of her?? Oh wait..she seems younger than the other Springpaw so...is she the copy?? "Springpaw's name is....also..Springpaw.." she said, pointing her paw at herself, confusion still running through her and it's visible in both her face and voice. So there is a river-Springpaw and a wind-Springpaw? For how long? What if the two gets mixed up?? It'll probably be unlikely since the two are from different clans but it could still happen. River-Springpaw seems like a nice cat though; thinking about it again, maybe they could be a Spring-duo! Or...the Spring-something-else! Wouldn't that be fun?? Having the same name and turning that fact into something fun!

Shademoss padded into the gathering, fluffing his fur up. It looked like another day just sitting alone and trying to stay warm. That really was the only reason he came, to stay out of the cold and lonely warrior’s den. He stopped suddenly, spotting a she-cat that was…huh, rather beautiful. He felt his heart tugging towards her, and despite his better intuition, he padded over to her, clearing his throat. “Hi there, nice night, isn’t it?”

Fawnpaw(???/100)

Fawnpaw followed Bumblestar to the gathering, her wounds healing nicely from the battle. She couldn’t see out of her right eye, as there were cobwebs over it. “Nightgaze!” She squealed with happiness, trotting over.

Hearing a familiar voice call her, Nightgaze pricked her ears curiously and smiled very widely when she saw who it was "Fawnpaw! Hiya!" she purred cheerfully her eyes shining with affection as she shuffled to make room for the young she-cat to sit next to her hopefully.

"How's my favourite apprentice doing eh?" she asked while attempting to ruffle the hair on Fawn's head with a slim paw "Amazing I hope! You were awesome in the battle! You really did gr-" the small hornet stopped as a horrible stench hit her nose and her pelt bristled in an instant as she realised another group had joined.

Shadowclan. The clan of fox-hearts had arrived, and she did not welcome there presence at all in fact she thought it disgraceful to even show there faces...they might have won the battle at Sunkissed creek but she certainly didn't have any respect for them so acknowledged their presence with a cold glare and started to pull her apprentice closer to her in a protective action "Stay close"

Fawnpaw had been smiling and purring once her mentor saw her, nuzzling their shoulder. Everything was perfect for Fawnpaw. She hasn't been seeing her mentor much, but she still loved her. (In a friendly way, staff.) The brown apprentice opened her mouth to speak and answer her friend's questions, but she too smelt the horrid stench of Shadowclan. She hissed slightly and pressed up against Nightgaze.

Birdsnow padded into the gathering place, eyes darting around before she settled down in a loafing position. She usually avoided gatherings due to poor past experiences, but she didn't want to hide anymore. She was going to be here, because she was a warrior and she wasn't afraid of cats anymore.

That was a little white lie- she was still afraid of being attacked here like she had been in the past. But she didn't want to be afraid anymore. That counted for something.

purrks: agatha kitty, mind reader, go with the flow
[ TawnyNeedsACoffee [cherrysmoke]]



rushwater had been near the front of riverclan’s pack when they arrived, and admittedly being the first clan to arrive was about as boring as one could imagine. if he wanted to waste time sitting in a circle of cats he knew all to well he could have just as sooner stayed at camp and listened to his clan mates talk his ears off. after far too long, windclan arrived. rushwater watched the moor-cats pool in with mild indifference tail swaying slow and languid. he gave his chest fur a few good licks so he looked all the more tidy.

it wasn’t terribly long until thunderclan strode into the clearing, as prideful and foolhardy as ever. he didn’t hate thunderclan- rushwater couldn’t say he hated any of the clans (he didn’t have any strong emotions towards them any which way) -but if he had to pick a least favorite, he’d be torn between thunderclan and shadowclan. at least shadowclan had one thing that rushwater would be sad to see go.

speak of the devil and she shall come, they say.

he didn’t pay much mind to shadowclan’s arrival barring the occasional glance. instead, he had his focus locked on the leader stone, trying to discern the tone of the now-four ‘stars. when he couldn’t make out anything over the motion and noise, he attempted to rely on body language. all the sleuth could discern was a lack of hostility. for now.

a scoff, familiar, caught his attention. rushwater let a low, rolling chuckle escape him as he turned his head to face the calico.

“like calls to like, doesn’t it? what more fitting a place for a shark to be than among sharks?” the blue-grey tabby hummed, his heavy lidded indigo gaze staring through cherrysmoke (though not unkindly), “pray tell, has your world been as hectic as mine? though, i figure a wild one like yourself is well used to the chaos,” he mused, the only indication of his amusement the subtle flick of his ear and faint twitch of his muzzle into a smirk. the signs of rushwater’s mirth were subtle, but those who could read the stoic tom knew the signs were as clear as day.

This was a surprise to hear another cat with the name Spring, she had heard of thunderclan's Spring. The difference with this one is from Windclan this time, she wondered if one in Shadowclan would pop up. That would be something to see in the future hopefully. Springpaw probably wouldn't know until maybe she was a warrior, that was a long time. Now back on this little issue they seem to have right now. "Oh that's so cool! We share the same name!" she giggled, she wondered why they referred to themselves in the third person. "Should come up with a nickname or something so we won't confuse each other!" she offered. The fun part was coming up with a little nickname to use, something a little creative. She brought a paw up to her chin in thought as she brainstormed some ideas. "Let's see.....how about you stay as Spring during meetings and I can go by river? Has to do with the clan I'm in!" she blinked giving the rookie apprentice a grin, obviously her idea was the greatest!

₊˚.༄ ೃ - Lynxshade was following her clanmates to the Seastones, an incredible place where rocks met an endless stretch of water with an enchanting sight. It's leaf-fall, but it bears so much beauty. The rocks feel rough under my paws, and I can smell something salty in the air.

Dawnstar and Vulturefang, along with the medicine cat Elmshadow, held a special place along with the other important cats of Riverclan, Thunderclan and Windclan. She took a moment to scan the whole place and see what her fellow clanmates were doing; mixing themselves with other clans, exchanging poisonous glares, chatting with much noise.

She decided not to make the first step with another clan - who knew how they would react to her? Nobody here knew her. She felt out of place, just like a fish out of water.
Suddenly she noticed a familiar face, a she-cat whose name bore the name of an owl. "Good evening, Owlcatcher." She waved her tail and went to sit beside her.

This was her opportunity to have a closer look on the other clans without having to lift a claw. What would Dawnstar announce in front of the four clans? And why was there so much turmoil and rumors about Riverclan? Lynxshade thought that something was wrong about their leader, but she wasn't sure what it was.

It seemed Gingerstar had passed...at least that's what first crossed her mind when she saw another cat in his place, it was the most logical explanation after all and logic was hardly ever wrong so she didn't bother to think twice about it and made her way swiftly to the far side of the clearing out of the prying eye of malicious enemy warriors.

Giving her chest a quick lap she turned her cold gaze to another new face, instead of the Thunderclan deputy Alderstep a calico tom was instead sitting with the other deputies while Vulturefang seemed to be messing with him...mabye it was a test to see how quick he was to anger ot mabye it was just the deputy being the deputy either way she didn't care as long as the gathering ended it didn't really matter what happened...but that was just a careless thought.

He didn't get tackled down to the ground the last gathering. Quite the crowd, one he'd made for himself though. The deputy who'd broken up the attack. Attention switching over to look at the RiverClan leader, a fish eater he'd almost killed if he was rememberin right now standing as Leader. What a world.

His attention going from the leader down to her deputy. A stark opposite. One who didn't know how to shut up. Sucking in a deep breath he turned his attention to the gaggle of felines in front of him. Oh he'd much rather be laying or sitting down his little shaded area right now. "Replaced. Yea." a pause as he did his absolute best not to start a fight. He was too tired and his stomach felt like it was trying to flip inside out. "I believe I've met you both before, or I'm mistakin you both for other warriors who's to say." looking at Fallownose at the corner of his eye before looking back up at Vulturefang.

He was ready to go home. His social battery has run dry and he's actively ready to shut down.

After his first gathering, he hadn't come to the one afterward, since it had gotten him so mad in the first place. He hadn't wanted to come to a spot where he would have a run-in with a cat that pulled that stunt willingly. He looked around for any familiar faces that he could go sit with. Rufflepaw wasn't sure if he would go approach anyone in another clan right now thought so he guessed he'd stick with his own clan for now.

Midnightpaw was completely and utterly ecstatic. She was oh, so excited to be attending her very first gathering. Sure, it was a little bit bittersweet. Neither her dad, nor her brother Morningpaw were here to experience it with her. The thought of one of her brothers not being here left a bit of weight on her shoulders–the unfamiliar weight of grief… And on the other hand, thinking about her father sparked a red hot flame within her chest that had never been there before. A flame that not even Batpaw could set alight with all of his ridiculous, annoying shenanigans. It's funny how someone who used to be the textbook definition of love to you could also be the one to make you feel genuine rage for the first time.

Whatever, though. She had Eveningpaw. She had Nightshiver. She had her friends. Perhaps they were all that she needed right now.

Speaking of her friends, there were a couple of them! Rufflepaw and Rainypaw were not too far ahead of her, and as soon as their familiar pelts registered in her mind, she darted after them, brushing up beside Rainypaw with a big grin. “Hi, guys!”

She sat down beside the molly, leaning forward to peer around her so that she could look at Rufflepaw. “Isn't this just so exciting? This is so cool! I could have never imagined just how many cats actually came to these gatherings!”

Pah. How pathetic. Little Midleaf was so eager to attend a boring old Gathering. Just the bounce in her step and the light to her eyes was enough of a giveaway. What a kit. It's not like these things were very interesting. Sulking along behind her, he doesn't make any kind of effort to cackle or grin. Just sits down at her side silently with his ears laying flat against his head. Ever since that cursed day where ice fell from the sky his head has throbbed incessantly. Everything was too bright and too loud. And the world seemed to spin around him. His silence was in part of him having to focus on his paw steps in order to keep walking as straight as he could.

So why come to the Gathering, one might ask? Because the Bat didn't know weakness. He didn't show injury or pain. No one needed to know that he was struggling. Not even this group of peons of his. Shoulders hunched, he watches cats of other clans mingle and chatter, the scents around him too a lot for his poor head to handle as Midleaf chatters mindlessly to the others.

Something stirred in her slightly as she smirked, Amusement.

Cherrysmoke felt herself match a similar expression to Rushwater’s, the two were subtle yet the heavy eye contact spoke more than they would divulge to others. Her green eyes narrowed slightly, her lidded gaze soaked up the tom’s features, to which she noticed the ever so faint smirk that had coloured his usually stoic disposition. She thought for just a moment how nothing seems to change when it came to the tom in front of her, in a way she supposed it comforted her. Not that she would admit that openly of course. Upon his words, she couldn’t help but have a small laugh escape her maw as she situated herself next to him taking this as a subtle invitation to join him.

”Mm…life would be too easy and unappealing if a little chaos hadn’t been stirred, you can’t deny that.”

Her tone was one of amusement, as if to play along with his little game of pleasantries. It had been a while since she last spoke to him…the last time had ended on good terms, whatever was between them, it always lasted in intervals. No matter how part they ever seemed to be, something made her seek him out and vise versa. She tried to deny it, but a part of her felt like she…wished for more from him. Although, knowing him, it was no easy task, he played by his own rules of logic. But she wasn’t one to back down either. His allure was dangerous but she supposed she was never quite deterred by such things, after all, she was a wild one. Cherrysmoke focused her attention on Rushwater, she smirked at him a bit more this time as she continued this banter, her tone turned sly and almost teasing, she leaned in a bit closer to him as if to cause a ensure only Rushwater could hear the string of words that flowed like honey from her mouth.

”…besides, you aren’t one to shy away from a challenge, maybe a little wildness is what you need, hmm?~”

With that she leaned away, her usual neutral expression returning to her features. She admitted she enjoyed it. His reaction to her teasing always seemed amusing.
However for his and her sake, this was the most she could say for their safety. As if to play off her mixed emotions her tone returned to her usual blunt tone however you could tell by the look in her eyes it was more delicate than usual. The calico shecat, looked towards the leaders.

“Although, I can admit things have certainly been very much heated between clans. While amusing at first, to see some of those thunderclanners tripping over themselves, I suppose I do worry for what may erupt. Not that I usually care for such futile things, but there has been much more death recently. That alone isn’t a pretty picture for what’s to come. Bad blood needs to be settled. “

A slither of concern could be noticed in her tone, she wasn’t one to entirely express such emotions but she supposed the feline beside her was worthy enough to hear such inner dialogue. She thought for a moment what it could mean if all the clans were to go to war, as a shadowclanner, she did not particularly care much for others well-being but…

Her gaze drifted.

Cherrysmoke glanced at him, a very faint expression of unease painted her features.

“…As much as I enjoy a good fight as much as the next, I’d be a shame if RiverClan lost you, Rushwater. It would be a pain having to explain why I had to save your behind!”

She gave a small eye roll, feigning annoyance although there was heavy amusement in her conflicting tones. She wasn’t one to be vulnerable but she felt he needed to know she wasn’t ENTIRELY an enemy to him personally. Atleast not for now anyways.

"Blue and grey lynx point tom."

The Windclanner trails behind the rest of his clan. Not keeping the quick pace that most of them have but he was still "on-time". Lynx-point pelt weaving through the crowd as sound of a few voices hit his hear that cause nothing short of pure annoyance. Finally joining the two, it quickly caused empty threats. "Will both of you shove a mushroom in it? Nobody cares who's looking at who's leader, so shut it, you both have caused me to want a dog to claw my ears off, star above," The windclanner mews flatly, a sigh swiftly following the words.

Shellwhisker quickly turned and shot an ice-blue glare at the WindClan tom. She gave a faint hiss of defiance before turning around.

Finally, Yellowpaw was there! Took long enough... he wondered what the other apprentices are up to. Besides Thunderclan, they were probably plotting murder. "Hello, people who are not my clan. If you're thunderclan, I hope you die in a ditch. He thought to himself. "Anyways, how're you doing?" He asked, approaching a fellow apprentice.

Squirrelpaw, a RiverClan apprentice, jumped. ''Great StarClan, you scared me!'' She looked at Yellowpaw, her green eyes wide. Her fur flattened as she noticed it was just an apprentice. ''I'm doing well. You?''

Deerpaw had trailed behind his friends on the way to this gathering, partly because he didn't really know what to talk about? The concept of having friends was still a little odd to him. Before this group of oddballs clumped together, the only cat in ShadowClan Deerpaw could be called close to was Snowecho, his mentor and sort of brother figure. But now? Now he was surrounded by faces and voices and scents that always seemed to circle back to him and between each other. It was interesting... a nice kind of interesting, and Deer couldn't help but want more of it.

So, spotting the group of troublesome idiots, Deer padded up alongside them and placed himself next to Rufflepaw. "Anything interesting happen yet?" They ask, fluffing up their fluffy pelt against the chill in the air, thankful for its thickness.

Squirrelpaw's white ears flattened as she looked between Yellowpaw and Blizzardfur, who looked as if they were about to fight. Green eyes glistening uneasily, the RiverClan apprentice burst her way between the two. ''Stop. There's a truce,'' Her meow was cool and polite, but you could tell she was a bit upset. ''StarClan nor any of the Clan leaders will appreciate you shaming WindClan at a Gathering, of all places.'' Squirrelpaw shook her head and went back to sitting beside Yellowpaw.

[Rani]

So..... Gathering. Crowtooth was a little uncertain. He by now looked much better then he'd been when he was dug out of the tunnels but even now his eyes were still squeezed closed against the light of the full moon. So no longer skinny and filling out, fur clean if a little ruffled, and free of bugs once more but blind. From what he could tell he was getting better in that area, he could open his eyes in the night in the clans dens now and maybe in lesser lighted nights but under the full moon it was, for now, too much to ask.


So his eyes were closed as he padded into the seastones, jolting lightly as paws met sand and head tilting up to sniff at the air.

It probably wasnt smart to be here in this state, especially as memories of the gatherings had not come back but the tom was desperate to reintegrate as fast as possible wanting things to be 'normal' despite his patchy memory. But..... Well it still wasnt smart, with all the smells here navigating was hard and it showed as he both arrived late and promptly bumped into a cat in the back of the seastones.


"Oh!" The tom rasped, jolting back slightly. " 'm sorry miss, I didn' know you were there. I can' really get around well a' the momen' 'ts my bad." The cat was female he could tell but her scent wasnt one he remembered, nor was here clan scent. It seemed his memory wouldnt tell him what clans he was smelling but for that it wasnt his, so he'd have to find out some other way. With his usual broken wheezing breaths the tom coughed once before continuing " 'm Crowtooth, pleased ta meet ya. What's yer name?" He rasped before chucking, as gravely and broken as all his other vocalizations "Odd ask from a warrior but what clan are ya from?" If she was friendly maybe he'd even explain why a full grown cat was asking.

Following behind her clanmates the young 14 moon old warrior glanced around to see Shadowclan was last to arrive. She felt a bit embarrassed. She took a look at her leader and saw nothing. Then it must not be such a big deal. It still made her feel bad. Thrushbriar moved on along not daring to make eye contact with anyone. She knew her clan's reputation and she'd rather not upset anybody. They might think of it as a challenge. For a cat of her clan, she preferred to not fight. Finding a well-isolated place she sat down and waited for the gathering to get started.

Nicknames are fun! Oo! Oo! Springpaw has an idea! "What abbouttt..." she started, thinking about some names inside her head "Swimming-Springpaw and Running-Springpaw?? Orr maybe even River-Spring and Wind-Spring?" get it? Riverclanners loves to swim rightos? And windclanners like her loves to run! And she also usually has many many energy. So fun! And the second pair of nicknames just comes from their clans thoughhh the nicknames that riverclan-Springpaw came up with are great as well! Guess you can say she agreed with any of the nicknames, anything works for her! She likes this whole nickname giving thingy, maybe she should give some of her clanmates nicknames too! Imagine how fun and funny and other stuff that'll be? Maybe she'll start with her mentor or someone else she knows...wonder what funny nickname that would fit her mentor... "Maybe we can be uh...the Spring duo! or something like that" the 'technically-isn't-old-enough-to-be-an-apprentice-yet-was-made-an-apprentice-actually' apprentice suggested to the older apprentice, giggling. Would her friends find this situation as funny? How many Springpaws are there that she wasn't aware of? Would there be more cats named Springpaw in the future? Is the name 'Springpaw' popular?? Funny coincidence that the cat that talked to her has the same name as her! What are the chances??? Also has she ever mentioned how Riverclanners smells like...fish and..maybe water? Wait does water have a smell? Maybe more like fish and what water would probably smell like if it had a scent like cats and other things do! She thinks at least

She/her | 18 moons | Mind Reader - ACTIVE
A sleek dilute tortie she-cat with green eyes



Alright, everyone’s here as far as Lark can tell… she doesn’t see ShadowClan’s medicine cat What’s-his-face, but all the others are here so it seems about time to begin - not that she particularly wants to be the first one to speak up, but it has to be someone and, right now, the other three leaders seem perfectly content to sit on their behinds and warm up stone. So, with a quick sideways glance at each of them, Larkwing/star whatever pushes herself to her feet and makes her way toward the front of the stone, residual annoyance regarding that loner still apparent in her movements.

"As I’m sure you’ve been speculating tonight," she begins, voice loud enough to let it carry across the seastones, "Gingerstar has died in the moon since the last gathering." She allows for that to sink in, for the horrendously fragile and unstable state of RiverCan’s leadership to be made known and for her own frustrations to appear apparent - if only for a moment before she quickly smooths over her expression once again. "I have since assumed the position of leadership for RiverClan.

Other than that, RiverClan is doing well. We have a new apprentice, Charredpaw, and a new warrior to our ranks, Birdsnow. They are both fine additions to RiverClan and I expect them to do great things for our clan. That’s all." It wasn’t much, but there was no point reporting about the other things (the whispers of rebellion, and the William situation being the other two major things that might warrant at least a mention. But Larkstar would not say word of the rebellion, and if the other clans didn’t know anything about William’s connection to RiverClan and decided to just kill him themselves? Well, Larkstar wouldn’t be complaining about that). With one last glange around the gathered cats, Larkstar returns to her place, taking a seat among the other leaders.

[ TawnyNeedsACoffee [cherrysmoke]]




cherrysmoke was a scarce comfort, something hard to find among the frantic and exhausting day-to-day in riverclan. even after everything, he couldn’t shy away from her when she drew close and whispered teasing words like a snake lacing venom with honey. a deep, rolling chuckle of rather genuine mirth escaped him and he tilted his head to the side, ear flicking. as quick as it came, he resumed his deadpan nonchalance.

“i can’t deny, doesn’t the wild call to every true warrior?” he proposed, tail swaying languidly, enjoying this dance of thinly veiled metaphors, “and if not, i suppose i’m a bit of an unruly one myself. when has a river even been tamed?”

cherrysmoke’s gaze trailed up the seastones towards the four leaders who looked awfully divine with the moon behind them like a halo. their silhouettes moved subtly against the midnight sky, and his stare followed each minute shift and flicker as if he was fed on nothing but knowledge itself.

blood needs to be settled,

morbid, but true. rushwater had to agree. between minkpaw’s murder (the thought of it sunk in his stomach like river stones, twisting with curiosity and irritation in equal measure) and all the lost territory on riverclan land, he wasn’t particularly enthused by the bloodshed either. rush was more a fan of solving things without his claws, if he could help it. that wasn’t to say he wasn’t willing to cut his losses for the better of the clan- he’d shred almost any thunderclanner or shadowclanner if it brought riverclan prosperity.

“i’m afraid a lot more blood will be shed before it’s over. i fear we’re losing honor; fighting just to fight and killing just to kill.” he agreed, though very little emotion found its way into the words, “it’s revenge and spite, all of it.”

it was cherrysmoke’s next comment that brought a smug smirk to his features. amusement danced in his eyes as he glanced over at her. “the feeling’s mutual, cher. i think i’d have a few choice words for starclan if they tried to take ya, dawnstar would have to thank me personally for dragging you back.”

“people like us don’t get peaceful eternity. we’ve got work to do.” he laughed, smirk widening to a lop-sided grin. rushwater had an odd way of smiling- it was all teeth. his eyes hardly moved, leaving a tired expression to mix with his mirth.

just before either could get another word in, larkstar’s voice broke the loud audience. rushwater drank her words like ambrosia, taking in every detail. when she stepped back, he leant on his hind legs and looked to cherrysmoke.

“there you have it, gingerstar is dead and i’ve got a couple worries for the longevity of riverclan.” there was a tired, half-hearted sense of humor in his dry tone.

Raggedear purred in response, his ears swiveling around as he tried to listen to conversations other Clans were having to see how much lingering hostility there really was in the air. He considered joining in, but he couldn't leave Sandflower by herself. Guilt gnawed at his chest. What if his friend really did decide to leave the Clan? Raggedear considered himself easy to get along with, but he did quite enjoy Sandflower's company, even if she wasn't a fighter, like him. Besides his brother, Elkshadow, Raggedear didn't talk much to anyone else. The tom gave a small snort, remembering having seen his brother talking to the pretty she-cat Mudstep. 'They'll probably be mates before long.' He mused, furrowing his brow in his deep thought. Raggedear wasn't sure he was ready for such a serious commitment. He had so much more to give to his Clan before he felt ready to settle down with a nice she-cat. 'I wish Sandflower felt the same way as I did about having more to give to the Clan. If I can find her a purpose, maybe she'll stay...' The tom sighed quietly, gazing around the clearing as he waited for the leaders to begin the gathering. He noticed a warrior getting into it with a little yellow apprentice, but said nothing as he watched through slitted eyes at the young tom's attitude. "Apprentices." He snorted, turning to give Sandflower a friendly look.

Wolfpaw twitched his ears at RiverClan’s news, not surprised and unimpressed. "Typical." It was quiet, a mutter really. "Leave it to the water rats to die like vermin."

There was no semblance of loss or sympathy. RiverClan lost that when they poisoned him n his Clan.

Scalescar flicked his tail as the river clan announcement were made, to many dieing of the leaders to even keep track who was leader and who wasn't, the scarred tom let out a huff at the mention of the death of a riverclan, he flicked his tail as he slightly turned his head to wolfpaw"I'm scalescar who are you?" he asked nicely hoping to get a good conversation in.

I looked at Raggeddear. He was clearly stuck with me. -´´You can go talk with other warriors.´´ I smiled. -´´Im not a lost kit, I can stay by myself.´´ I analyzed the clearing and the cats, wondering what would happen this Gathering, and wondering if I shouldn't go back to the camp after this night... ´´How's a loner life? It must be fun... exploring every place in this territory, eating as much as i want, having adventures, having my own rules, being able to flee when needed...´´ I thought, when I heard the word ´´apprentice´´ coming from my friend. I was confused at first, but then i understood. -´´Oh... You are a genius! I always wanted to have an apprentice! ´´ Could I have possibly changed idea? No... ´´But im too young to have one. I will make 17 moons this moon. I should wait more...´´ I looked down.

The tom's torn ear twitched in surprise. He hadn't realized Sandflower wanted an apprentice so badly. "You're young, yes, but the only way you'll gain more experience is by beginning to teach what you've learned to someone else." He mewed thoughtfully, trying to think if any kits were due for their apprentice ceremony soon. "But..." He began hesitantly, unsure whether he should say but wanting to be sure his friend was aware, "You do understand you will need to teach them how to fight?" Raggedear finished, giving Sandflower a pitied look. "I would gladly help, in whatever way I could." He added quickly. Maybe if she got an apprentice, they could talk to Bumblestar about him taking over the battle training aspect of it. But...he also didn't want to make his friend seem like an incompetent mentor. 'Besides, maybe training a young, eager cat to fight would help her realize what fighting for her Clan means.' He thought hopefully.

-"You're right... I forgot about that.. Nevermind. For me it will be teaching something wrong, because for me fighting is wrong... I know its not but...'' I thought about leaving the clan after the Gathering. It was a difficult choice. ''Why can't I be like the others...? Just a normal warrior...'' I thought. -''I think a clan is not for me Raggeddear... Not my place, not my nature. I will make a choice in the end of the Gathering..'' I looked at him. I also hoped I would stay, but it's like Starclan telling me to not. Something deep inside me. One side is my clan, my friends and honor. The other side is freedom, happiness and true meaning of life.

Raggedear looked sadly at Sandflower, wisdom in his gaze. "I will respect whatever choice you make." He said with a dip of his head, shifting closer so their pelts brushed. "If you do leave, and decide to come back, it will be up to Bumblestar, you know." He said, glancing at his friend. "But if she agrees, I'll always make sure that you feel welcome." The large tom purred, headbutting her shoulder playfully. "You're a good, young cat. There's time yet to figure out where you fit in. Go wherever your paws take you, and may StarClan light your path, whatever you may choose." He yawned, lifting up his back leg to scratch behind his ear. "You'll always be a friend to me." He mewed.

Larkfire (https://katlike1.wixsite.com/kats-wco-characters/larkfire)
She/Her | The Wraith
Shadow Fiend & Beefed Up (T1) Purrks

Larkfire truly didn't know if she was meant to be here or not. She was probably supposed to be at home, sitting with Sleepykit, watching her daughter. But frankly, in all reality, Larkfire had made a habit of attending every Gathering ShadowClan went to -- and so here she was again. Fresh out of kitting, for the most part. Trailing after ShadowClan like a shadow, and yet detached from disappearing into her surroundings exactly, The Wraith settled down in a corner to survey the assembled cats in silence. Huh. RiverClan had lost it's leader already. Again. No surprise there, she supposed, though Larkfire did cant her head to the side as she heard the name of RiverClan's most recent leader. Odd, to think of another with her name.

[Pitou]

**Elmshadow**
Shadowclan Medicine Cat

The dark medicine cat moved easily into the sandy clearing, not bothering to look around at the gathered cats as he could smell clearly enough the mingling scents of all four clans. He was late, for reasons he didn’t care to consider. There were more pressing responsibilities to tend to at the moment and he was set on focusing his thoughts on the gathering. His green eyes wandered up to the leaders first then down to the deputies, noticing a familiar yet new face among the deputies. His eyes narrowed but he switched his gaze back down to the medicine cats. Drizzlecloud and Lightningstorm seemed to be missing but that was another thought he didn’t care to waste his brain space on considering. So he made his way up to join them as the new Riverclan leader wrapped up her announcements. He settled down in his spot off to the side of the other medicine cats and looked up to the leaders.

[Katiethewolfchild]

Sunleap listened to Larkwin-Larkstar silently. He wondered if there was any reason RiverClan's leaders were so good at dying?

Dogpaw listened. Whatever. What kind of ThunderClan apprentice cared that RiverClan had another leader again? Not her that was for sure.

Beetlepaw listened. Oh this was insteesting. Why was RiverClan so bad at keeping there leaders alive for long? This might be the easily kit sized almost eight moon old mute ThunderClan apprentice's first gathering but that didn't mean that she didn't know how good RiverClan's leaders were at dying for some reason. After all RiverClan had managed to loss two leaders in a small amout of time.

Sheeppaw was grooming herself, the deaf apprentice unaware of Larkwing's announcement.

Bearpelt listened. The young warrior was wondering why RiverClan's leaders kept dying in such a short amout of time.

Foxpaw listened. This might only be the large underaged almost 4 moon old WindClan apprentice's second gathering but she was perfectly aware that RiverClan kept lossing their leaders for some reason that was unknown to her. (All open)

[Katiethewolfchild]

Birdpaw heard whatever-her-name-was speak. She then saw somecat sitting alone and bounced up to them, the small hyperactive underaged autistic almost four moon old WindClan apprentice meowing hi! My name's Birdpaw! What's your name?! What Clan are you in?! I'm in WindClan! The autistic apprentice then furrowed up her nose and meowed you stink. Why do you stink? She didn't mean any harm by the comment and the last question because to her it was just that. A comment and question. She didn't even consider that the comment and the last question would likely come off as hurtful because that's not how she meant them. Catherine

Beastpaw bounced up to her sister, both of them underage 'paws. It had been a while and a bitses since they had a-played together. Oo her sister had found a new buddy! Buuut buddy was stinky. "Hi Birdybestie! And hi! You should go a-blathering, new buddy."

Their eyes quickly moved toward a young cat as they approached her. Looked like she had been spotted by what looked to be a pretty young cat. They looked like they should still be in the nursery. The warrior glanced around to see if anybody was going to say something about them, but none came. They must be a young apprentice. Like young young. Lowering her body to appear smaller so as to not frighten her she purred. Apprentices. "My name's Thrushbriar and I'm from Shadowclan. I probably smell bad, since you're not used to my scent, but that's okay.", she meowed calmly.

Thrushbriar heard another small voice and saw yet another young cat. Looked like they were buddies. That was good. Gatherings were always better with someone to share it with. "I'm guessing this is probably both of your first gatherings?", Thrushbriar asked. She kept her voice small, her flicking happily.

Beastpaw laughed, a loud noise exploding from a tiny body. Even Foxpaw outsized her now. Eh, both her sisters did! She had to look slightly up to look at Foxie and Birdybestie, which was so UNFAIR! This ShadowClan warrior made the underEVERYTHINGed apprentice crane her neck. She gave up eventually, flopping onto her back to stare up at the two cats. "NOPE! OUR SECOND!!!" she replied in a sing-songy voice.

[CENTER]I just sighed. I wanted to explain. ´´Yellowpaw for thinking that he has authority as an apprentice, and because he wanted to provoke other apprentices, when the clan relations aren't stable. And Squirrelpaw for being disrespectful towards Thunderclan and also thinking she has authority to interefere in another clan's conflicts. But if i say something it seems that they will judge me for my entire life´´ - i thought. But i shouldn't waste my time with them, and i wasn't their mentors. Yet i was still right. They should learn. -´´Anyways, i will be watching you both´´ I padded off

It isn't your place, first of all. It's Larkwing and Riverheart's duty to watch over me. Second of all, every other Clan knows that ThunderClan is the bossiest Clan around.

[Katiethewolfchild]

Birdpaw meowed okay to Thrushbriar's reply to why she was stinky. When Beastpaw approached she smiled at her sister and meowed hey Beastpaw! When Thrushbriar commented that it was probably their first gathering she meowed yeah! It's our second! Catherine GhostlyStarfinder

(Yay we can finally get this plot moving.)

Shademoss padded into the gathering, fluffing his fur up. It looked like another day just sitting alone and trying to stay warm. That really was the only reason he came, to stay out of the cold and lonely warrior’s den. He stopped suddenly, spotting a she-cat that was…huh, rather beautiful. He felt his heart tugging towards her, and despite his better intuition, he padded over to her, clearing his throat. “Hi there, nice night, isn’t it?”

Spartan-117
The she-cat looks at him and her brow furrows as she dips her head. "In a way it is, yes." She mews. "But when you see the tensions dancing between all their eyes and the hate some cats carry." Fennelfox mews before she looks at the other cat. she tilts her head and she looks away fromt he slightly handsome tom. maybe a little more than slightly...

"I am Fennelfox."

She walks in between an apprentice and a warrior in WindClan. She shyly looks around, and Cloverheart can't help but cringe at all the sights and scents and sounds. they all make her want to run. Her ears flat to her head as she enters the clearing, she looks at the apprentice and smiles shakily - apoligetically - at the smaller cat. "M-mind if I stay with you?" She asks Dovepaw quietly. She hopes that this cat will hide her, but... she doe snot know them at all.

“Yeah…” Shademoss looked around, flicking his tail. “I never got all the tension and hatred. We’re all just trying to survive and get by, right?” He paused for the moment, glancing down before perking up as the she-cat introduced herself. Wow, what a pretty name… “I’m Shademoss.”

"That is a nice name." She mews softly as she looks at him with a slight smile. When she looks away, though, the smile fades and she closes her eyes with a soft sigh. i hate it here. she thinks to herself before she shakes her head and opens her bright green eyes. Turning her attention back to him, she shrugs. "I can feel it - it's in the air, and it is so... heavy, like the forest before the first rains."

She frowns at the mention of her clan. Fennelfox can't say that she trusts Shademoss - she doesn't - but she only hides her small amount of contempt and smiles slightly at the other warrior. "I'm from ThunderClan."

Shademoss blinked. “Oh…” He smiled and chuckled. “You don’t seem much like the other ThunderClan cats I’ve met, you’re much more polite. To be fair, your competition is pretty slim. Most ThunderClan cats I see are all bitey and growly and ‘Hey get away from our territory frog-breath’. But you…you’re good.” He said, hoping to StarClan Fennelfox couldn’t see how hot his ears started to feel.

She then motions to the spot on her flank, the scars there from the apprentice Ravenpaw of ShadowClan - that was moons ago. Ravenpaw is likely a warrior now.

[hawkboi]

At that, she lets out a soft, low laugh. "It depends on the cat, really. Some of you... frog-breaths... are bad too, but I can tolerate the disrespect a bit better than the average ThunderClanner." She mews, a little bit proudly at the thought that she is not the average ThunderClanner. "One ShadowClan cat - a she-cat by the name of.. Ravensomething... paw, i think - attacked me a few moons ago. Gave me a gift."

Shademoss shrugged. “I suppose you have a point.” He felt his heart sink for a moment as he saw the she-cats scars, and mentioned the name Ravenpaw. Ravenscreech had attacked someone at the border a few moons before their warrior ceremonies, most likely at Pondstreak’s encouragement, but… maybe it could be someone else? Either way, best not to mention his sister. Or any of his family, for that matter. “Yikes. Looks like they got you pretty good. I’m sorry to hear about that.”

Yaaaawn. Riverclan sure were professionals at losing their leaders, huh? Was this the second one in the same moon? Two moons? Nevertheless, he tilts his head and idly wonders how long this one will last. Next meeting he'll be sure to make a bet with one of his clan mates. Attention traveling elsewhere, he scans the crowd for the reactions of other cats. Which is just about the same as his own. Bored. Unsurprised. Honestly, what would it take to shake things up a little? Didn't Thunderclan and Shadowclan wanna have a little nip at each other to start some drama?

Emerald hues stop on a familiar figure and he can't help but grin. Speaking of Riverclan, there was his favorite Riverclanner now. But who was that sitting beside him? Watching them chatter, his grin falters and his eyes narrow into seething jealousy. Who was this she-cat and how was she making him smile like that? The feeling settled uncomfortably in his chest, tail lashing behind him. All of a sudden the Gathering meant nothing. All of a sudden he didn't care about anything else except for the visage of Rushwater galivanting with some Shadowclan rat. A sigh passes through his nose as he collects himself. Gathers his cool and collected demeanor and stands from his seat to make his way over. Might as well say hello, right? It would be rude of him not to.

Confident paws carry him over to the pair and he seats himself right beside Rushwater-- perhaps a bit too closely-- leaning forward with a friendly smile tugging at his lips.

"It's lovely to see you again, my prince from across the border." He greets with a sickeningly sweet purr accenting his words. The look in his eyes are friendly enough but to a trained eye one could pick out the looming anger. "I'm a bit hurt you didn't come and say hello. I've missed you so. Though I can say I'm a tad surprised you're attending one of these get-togethers."

Gaze moving to settle on Cherrysmoke, the façade continues strong. His head cants off to a side and the smile he offers is charming. Soft. Inviting. Look long enough and one might become enraptured in his welcoming expression.

"And a lovely evening to you as well, hun." Like a trap his words lure in unsuspecting trust, as if every word he chooses is meant to snare. "I do hope the season has been treating you both well with the cold weather rolling in?"

Windclan warrior, Emberdusk: He/Him, Smoke/Smokes/Smokeself

Emberdusk giggled with mischief as the other panicked, tail flicking behind him playfully as he moved around infront of his friend to sit infront of it. "Nuhuh! wake up sleepy head, no sleeping in the middle of a gathering!!" Smoke leaned down to nudge the warrior over, bugging them into getting up




WINDCLAN WARRIOR, Houndear (he/it/they)

The ragged colourpoint cat groaned, tucking his head under his paws in a futile attempt to ignore the tortoiseshell, knowing from experience that smoke wouldn't let up. Its eyes felt unbearably heavy, all he wanted to do was sleep. He kept one ear out for the gathering as the announcements began, and was indifferent to Gingerstar's fate - it lost the shock value after the first couple leaders died. At this point, all Houndear could feel was a sort of muted disbelief at the news.

She allows herself a soft laugh before she shrugs. "It's fine, nothing you could have done. You weren't there, so don't worry about it." She gently flicks him with her tail before she looks at him and smiles, the smile reaching her bright green eyes this time.

"I don't mind the scar, though. It makes me think about ways I could change and ways to make my life better."

“Yeah you’re right.” Shademoss said. He felt a small shock through his body as Fennelfox flicked him, his fur fluffing up slightly. Stars, what was going on with him. “Huh, I would have never thought of it that way. Not that I’ve ever seen scars as a bad thing or anything, just not like that particularly.”

"Scars also are a patch-work - a map, if you will - or pain we've hidden too long. If you embrace your scars, you embrace your past." She mews, but then cringes as she thinks of her kits she abandoned. That is not something she wants to embrace.

Shademoss flicked his ear and nodded. “Wise words, I’d say…” he trailed off momentarily, almost shrinking into himself if it weren’t for his long fur and large build. His eyes glazed over with thought, and a little pain.

Bravesky let out a sigh as he listened wondering if starry light was in the gathering, it was hard to find her but maybe she could find him.

[ TawnyNeedsACoffee [cherrysmoke]]




cherrysmoke was a scarce comfort, something hard to find among the frantic and exhausting day-to-day in riverclan. even after everything, he couldn’t shy away from her when she drew close and whispered teasing words like a snake lacing venom with honey. a deep, rolling chuckle of rather genuine mirth escaped him and he tilted his head to the side, ear flicking. as quick as it came, he resumed his deadpan nonchalance.

“i can’t deny, doesn’t the wild call to every true warrior?” he proposed, tail swaying languidly, enjoying this dance of thinly veiled metaphors, “and if not, i suppose i’m a bit of an unruly one myself. when has a river even been tamed?”

cherrysmoke’s gaze trailed up the seastones towards the four leaders who looked awfully divine with the moon behind them like a halo. their silhouettes moved subtly against the midnight sky, and his stare followed each minute shift and flicker as if he was fed on nothing but knowledge itself.

blood needs to be settled,

morbid, but true. rushwater had to agree. between minkpaw’s murder (the thought of it sunk in his stomach like river stones, twisting with curiosity and irritation in equal measure) and all the lost territory on riverclan land, he wasn’t particularly enthused by the bloodshed either. rush was more a fan of solving things without his claws, if he could help it. that wasn’t to say he wasn’t willing to cut his losses for the better of the clan- he’d shred almost any thunderclanner or shadowclanner if it brought riverclan prosperity.

“i’m afraid a lot more blood will be shed before it’s over. i fear we’re losing honor; fighting just to fight and killing just to kill.” he agreed, though very little emotion found its way into the words, “it’s revenge and spite, all of it.”

it was cherrysmoke’s next comment that brought a smug smirk to his features. amusement danced in his eyes as he glanced over at her. “the feeling’s mutual, cher. i think i’d have a few choice words for starclan if they tried to take ya, dawnstar would have to thank me personally for dragging you back.”

“people like us don’t get peaceful eternity. we’ve got work to do.” he laughed, smirk widening to a lop-sided grin. rushwater had an odd way of smiling- it was all teeth. his eyes hardly moved, leaving a tired expression to mix with his mirth.

just before either could get another word in, larkstar’s voice broke the loud audience. rushwater drank her words like ambrosia, taking in every detail. when she stepped back, he leant on his hind legs and looked to cherrysmoke.

“there you have it, gingerstar is dead and i’ve got a couple worries for the longevity of riverclan.” there was a tired, half-hearted sense of humor in his dry tone.

“the feeling’s mutual, cher. i think i’d have a few choice words for starclan if they tried to take ya, dawnstar would have to thank me personally for dragging you back.”

Cherrysmoke felt her green gaze widen slightly at the riverclanner’s bold response and the use of the intimate nickname he had given her, she wasn’t entirely sure why but she hadn’t expected the response from Rushwater. A bit bashful she simply looked back to the leaders for a moment as if to filter out the rising emotions that he had been stirring up in her chest. She couldn’t help but feel a bit of her icy heart chip away just a bit at the choice of wording. She would have to be careful moving forward, this tom was clearly dangerous to her state of mind. As she was mulling over this internal conflict, the calico regained her composure upon Rushwater’s continued presence as he basically recapped or confirmed what she had heard while eavesdropping prior. She glanced at him before she went to open her maw to offer some type of reassurance however before she could a flurry of cream and browns entered her vision as a stranger entered their conversation. Almost immediately as if by reflex the shecat felt her fur stand on end slightly caught off guard, her softened features were quick to return to her usual displeased expression. The strong scent of a windclanner filled her senses.

"It's lovely to see you again, my prince from across the border... I'm a bit hurt you didn't come and say hello. I've missed you so. Though I can say I'm a tad surprised you're attending one of these get-togethers.

She watched as the strange tom basically threw himself verbally towards Rushwater, the strong flirting undertones that decorated his purr was enough to throw the shecat through the wringer. Only one question infiltrated her mind and one alone. Who the hell is this?! The calico watched the interaction unfold, her green gaze narrowing. Unease, confusion, jealousy. Many emotions started to stir that she usually did not have, she was known for her uncaring attitude, heck she loved stirring up trouble herself yet for some reason she could not swallow it. Something about seeing Rushwater being flirted with made her feel uncomfortably angry…envious even. What is this feeling? Why should she care, she was one to flirt around herself sometimes…she trailed off slightly inwardly as she found herself staring daggers at the windclanner. Before she had any time to decide on an answer to her internal dialogue, the emerald glare of the windclanner had landed on her.

“ And a lovely evening to you as well, hun. I do hope the season has been treating you both well with the cold weather rolling in?"

His tone, although sickeningly sweet, was undoubtedly laced with venom as he directed his greeting to her, his glare bore anger. Her brows furrowed deeply, so much so that if a look could kill, this tom would be dead. Cherrysmoke did not take kindly to this intrusion, although she did not allow it to show outwardly, her calm composure remained despite the look in her eyes.

“…it’s certainly been something.”

Her reply was curt, short and sweet, laced with fake pleasantries to hide her feelings. She knew she would have to remain half civil as they were in a gathering but she questioned the situation entirely. She could tell what he was doing, she would have none of it. She leaned slightly away from Rushwater, as if she was putting an imaginary wall up between the two, her previous vulnerability with him was gone in an instant, shoved back into the deepest depths of her heart. It was if she was having a bit of a wake up call. After all, these two were still potential threats to her clan. She would be stupid if she didn’t acknowledge such things. Dawnstar would have her head otherwise.

”Rushwater, you never told me you have been fraternising with little busybodies across the border, it seems my absence certainly affected you more than I thought, how sweet~.”

Her facial expression became more stoic and fake looking, a small smirk making her way to her maw as she dangerously shot a warning glance at the intruding tom. As if to stirr the pot she allowed some passive aggressive comments roll off her tongue, she turned her gaze back to the badger in the room. She spoke sparingly in response to the tom beside Rushwater , confidence filling her tone despite her inner confliction.

“And you might be who exactly, darl-?”

Cherrysmoke’s unwelcoming tone was quite obvious, despite the sweetness. It seems she would need to do her research on this one, what connection did he have to him.. her eyes darted to Rushwater, as if expecting an explanation for the interruption. Not that she could entirely understand it herself but she felt somewhat threatened in a way she couldn’t describe. Was she being replaced?

Newtberry arrived

[OPEN]

[BEAR.]

Scalescar flicked his tail as the river clan announcement were made, to many dieing of the leaders to even keep track who was leader and who wasn't, the scarred tom let out a huff at the mention of the death of a riverclan, he flicked his tail as he slightly turned his head to wolfpaw"I'm scalescar who are you?" he asked nicely hoping to get a good conversation in.

How RiverClan could even call itself a Clan with a straight face was beyond Wolfpaw. For as long as he could remember, they'd been nothing but murderous cowards. If they all died, the forest would be better for it. "Wolfpaw." The announcements were lulling, so it seemed safe to briefly chat. He didn't know much about WindClan. "How's things with.. you guys? Twilightstar looks tired."

[dino.]

The stomachache started to settle as Larkstar began to speak. Bumblestar fought the urge to scoff and roll her eyes as she watched Spiderthroat on the lower ledge. At least he was making nice for now. She wasn't afraid to send him home if he started a fight or something. StarClan only knew what was going through his head, because she sure as hell didn't.

As Larkstar stepped back, she rose to her feet to shoulder past the RiverClan leader and take her place on the front of the rock.

"ThunderClan's doing well," she started flatly. "In the past moon, Beetlepaw, Mushroompaw, Strikepaw, Shrewpaw, Rosepaw, and Redpaw have started their warrior training, 'n I'm sure that in no time they'll make impressive additions to our Clan. Mirepaw has also joined us from outside the territories. 'N as you can see, Spiderthroat's taken Foxstep's place as ThunderClan's deputy.

"Unfortunately, though, we've also lost a few cats. Brokenheart was murdered by a rogue. Outsiders've been getting bold lately so I'd advise the rest of you to keep an eye on your borders."

Her gaze slide toward Larkstar, eyes narrowing. A hint of a growl took an edge to her words. "We also lost Fallowreed and Asterdance. Not honorably battle, nor to any normal well-fought sickness, but to planted poison on our land from RiverClan." 'Poison' and 'RiverClan' were spat from her jaws as if the words themselves were toxic, and she battled the urge to bare her teeth and snarl. "Larkstar, I told you when I paid you a visit that I expected proof that the warrior I'd caught spreading it had been punished. I've not got even a hint of that, 'n now you've killed two of my warriors. Apparently a warning wasn't enough, as I've now yet again got to deal with snakes spreading vileness to my Clan." Their claws first, and now to her territory. She would shove it down their throats next. "The next RiverClan cats we catch near or on our borders'll be killed without hesitation. Don't think for a second I won't hold to that promise. If you won't keep yourself in check, I'll do it for you."

Pupils mere slits, Bumblestar turned her head away to instead focus on Fallownose and Twilightstar. "Squirrelsnap was killed as well at the WindClan border by a WindClan cat." Given how the WindClan leader had handled the last warrior ThunderClan had lost to them, she wasn't expecting Twilightstar to handle this any singular way Bumblestar wanted. But whatever, an attempt could be made. "I'll be tightening security at the Thunderglade goin' forward. Also just been made aware of a recent skirmish that took place without my knowledge, 'n I sincerely apologize for Spiderthroat's lack of self-control. We've been keepin' a closer eye on our borders lately, but it wasn't meant to end in death." Bumblestar only started fights if the target warranted it, and despite past thoughts, she now considered WindClan to beginning to inch closer to that line. But Twilightstar had provided civility in the past, and she would attempt to do the same here - even if this was the last time. "If you're wantin' answers about that, you're more than welcome to speak to him yourself."

She threw a loose gesture at her deputy below, and then stepped back to leave space for the next leader who wanted to step forward. "That's all. Keep off us 'n we'll keep off you." Surely that should be warning enough. Of course she wasn't afraid to take more drastic measures if it wasn't.

Shademoss frowned and silently nodded. He tucked his paws in and looked down. He opened his mouth to say something, but shut it as his mind drew a blank.
"What's your family like?" She asks as she turns her attention back to him a little curiously. Her family - all dead. Well, there is Burnetkit, but... He's not really her family, is he? He's more like... Nothing to her, actually. He is always with that foolish Spottedfire - who forgets his kit's name every time they speak. he should have died with Hollykit. She thinks to herself, before offering a shaky smile to the ShadowClanner that makes her feel normal - kind of... happy. Fennelfox feels weird - as if she does not deserve this.

Ah, yes, Shademoss’ dreaded family. He knew he couldn’t just unload everything onto Fennelfox all at once. He figured if he did, it would just drive her off, which was the last thing he wanted. “Well uh, they’re all in ShadowClan. My father are…decent. My sister just became a queen, so I’ll be an uncle soon. Am I have a younger brother who’s still an apprentice.” Shademoss smiled at the thought of his siblings, especially his little brother Ashpaw.

She smiles, dreading his reaction if he asks about her family. They're a sore topic. "Does that make you happy - soon to be an uncle, I mean?" She asks. She's never really met a cat with a good family. Well, maybe now, but... she sees something in his eyes, that he's hiding something. That makes her smile more genuine. don't we all.

Shademoss nodded, happy to be distracted from the thought of his parents. “Of course. It will probably be the closest I’ll ever come to having my own kits, you know?” He chuckled and curled his tail around his paws, glancing down momentarily.

[Katiethewolfchild]

Sunleap listened to his leader's announcement. He sighed while thinking why can't ThunderClan seem to keep out of trouble? Now they're on the brush of war if not at war with all three of the other clans.

Dogpaw listened.

Sheeppaw was still grooming herself, the deaf apprentice completely unaware of her leader's announcement.

Beetlepaw listened. The mute easily kit sized almost 8 moon old thought why does everyone seem to hate ThunderClan? We're at war or very close to being at war with all three of the other clans. Maybe her tiny size would actually be helpful. The other cats were less likely to be mean to a cat they thought to be the age of a kit. One of the very few advantages of her tiny size. She didn't have to worry much about verbal fights at the gathering despite being in ThunderClan. Well one sided verbal fights in her case since she couldn't talk so the other cat would be doing all of the talking. Hopefully they wouldn't be too mean to Sheeppaw thought... After all her sister was large for her age. Not that Sheeppaw was likely to respond, as she was completely deaf and likely wouldn't realize the other cat was talking.

Bearpelt listened.

Foxpaw listened. (All open)

[Spartan-117]

Shademoss nodded, happy to be distracted from the thought of his parents. “Of course. It will probably be the closest I’ll ever come to having my own kits, you know?” He chuckled and curled his tail around his paws, glancing down momentarily.
"I wouldn't mind having my own kits, but after my last litter..." She says softly, looking away as she tries not to remember the feeling of Hollykit when she fell - the snap and crack when her little neck broke. She feels guilt, and she does not like that feeling - at all. She turns and looks at Shademoss again, a little smile on her muzzle - a smile of sadness. "My last litter didn't... live. They were taken by loners. Never seen them again..." Fennelfox says before looking up at the other warrior, a hardness in her eyes - she is not looking for his pity

Shademoss frowned as Fennelfox spoke. Stars, what could he say to that? He wanted to say sorry, but knew from personal experience that probably wasn’t what she wanted to hear. He opened and closed his mouth a few times before finally finding the words he had been looking for. “May StarClan light their path.” He perked his ears as he heard the leaders speak. Oh right, there was a gathering happening. Shademoss had been so focused on the she-cat he had almost completely forgotten. He awkwardly looked up at the leaders, letting the information sink in. It was mostly death, mainly Gingerstar’s. Great StarClan…

It was mostly death, mainly Gingerstar’s. Great StarClan…
Her ears perk up about Gingerstar's death. Oh, did they really die? Oh, wow... RIverClan must be falling apart from the inside out. She thinks to herself before frowning and looking at Shademoss. She genuinely does not know what to say - she's always been clueless about what to say. Blame it on her parents - those rats left her and said nothing, and they didn't even- She stops herself before she begins a long, enthusiastic rant about the cycle of abandonment. Hypocritical - a little bit - because she abandoned her son and daughter. "Thank you." She whispers after leaning close to Shademoss, her muzzle by his ear before she smiles sadly at him and sits back down - attempting to relax in this hostile air.

Shademoss blinked in surprise as Fennelfox leaned close and whispered to him. It felt…calming. Weirdly so. He hadn’t met a cat who hadn’t either pitted him or brushed him off in a long time. He looked at Fennelfox and gave her a gentle smile before returning his attention to the leaders.

Shademoss smiled and nodded. “I’d like that. Can’t say I blame you. At the border I presume?” He glanced towards Cobwebpaw, but didn’t pay him much mind. If the younger cat had an issue with him and Fennelfox talking, then that was his problem, not Shademoss’.

“Well, it seems there’s more to her then you might think at first. And that aggression comes from a place of hurt.” Shademoss explained. “Sometimes cats like that just need someone to talk to and help them.” He glanced up towards Dawnstar, narrowing his eyes. “Not all of them, though…”

Cobwebpaw admits that Shademoss might - just might - have a point there about that topic. If he's completely honest with himself, he's not the type of cat to be interested int he lives of others. Nor is he very interested in being friends with them. But his mentor is one of the highest ranked cats in the Clan - Darkfall - and he mutely admits that it would be a good idea to have some friends( not enemies) in high places.

The Shadowclan tom swiftly enters with his head in the clouds wondering around as he stumbles into another cat "oh starclan im so sorry AGH I DID IT AGAIN" he says and he scrambles up [Open for interactions]

[Moonraven]

So RiverClan was poisoning again and Gingerstar was indeed dead. The former sounded like it was the doing of one single cat, not RiverClan itself, seeing how Bumblestar was seeking justice for her deceased. It did make Twilightstar briefly rethink the trouble that had occurred within WindClan, but there was still nothing to point out that it was RiverClan, so, for now, her thoughts on the matter remained unchanging.

"WindClan has had the honor of adding two new apprentices to our ranks. Cloverpaw and Juniperpaw." Twilightstar stepped forward to the front once it was empty and started her announcements.

"Our medicine cat apprentice, Lightningpaw has finished her training and been accepted as a full medicine cat by StarClan, her dedication and hard work have earned her the name Lightningstorm." She declared proudly. Twilightstar had felt very sore about failing to announce Lightningstorm's achievement at the last gathering. Gingerstar had rubbed her fur wrong, but it wasn't an excuse for such forgetfulness.

"Sadly, WindClan has lost four of our own this moon. Owlpaw and Lilypool were stricken with illness and ended up passing away not long after getting sick." Twilightstar told them with a touch of sorrow in her voice. It was mostly the truth, but there was no letting the other clans know that WindClan cats were dying due to an unknown cause.

"As ThunderClan has already stated, a skirmish, unprovoked by WindClan and started by RiverClan, resulted in the death of two WindClan warriors, Sleethound and Dawnfog. Not long after that, an ambush at the Thunderglade left one of my warriors badly injured and an apprentice, Mousepaw dead." A bitter hiss left the WindClan leader's maw as she turned a cold, accusatory, glare at both Bumblestar and her new deputy.

"I'll see about getting to the bottom of who killed Squirrelsnap, my clan is well aware that I don't tolerate unreasonable violence and death. If your cat was killed then there was most likely a reason behind it, and if there isn't, a punishment will be given." Twilightstar's already told WindClan more than once to inform her when there was trouble at the borders. So she wasn't blindsided like this at the gathering. It was frustrating and humiliating to learn from another Clan leader that members of her clan were stirring up trouble if she had to ban cats from doing sole patrols to the border so be it. These reports would be made.

"As much as I liked to believe that you are truly sincere in your apology, the fact that you decided to reward the very root of the problem with a promotion makes it seem otherwise," Twilightstar told Bumblestar. Spiderthroat didn't seem all that apologetic about it either, not that it would have made a difference

"If your cats were merely keeping a closer eye on your borders, then perhaps I could be more understanding, but there's a fine line between guarding your borders and blatantly trespassing and murdering cats at your leisure. This isn't the first time Spiderthroat's been accused of ignoring borders and killing clan cats out of spit or whatever his reasonings." She didn't really like referring to ShadowClan, but they had lost a medicine cat allegedly to the maniac.

"I'm not looking for answers, my clan and I want something more than a mere apology for such grievous actions. Just as you hold Larkstar accountable for the death of your warriors and chide her inability to properly punish her clanmates." Twilightstar couldn't help but point out that Bumblestar was literally doing the same right now.

"WindClan will hold you to the same standards. We want him executed, you can either give him to us and we'll handle it or you can do it yourself and bring us the body. Although, I'd settled for a demotion as a compromise. Of course, you don't have to do anything but if you don't want to keep your Clan in check, WindClan will do it for you." Twilightstar parroted a version of the she-cat's words back at her with a confident lash of her tail.

Done with ThunderClan, and unwilling to argue about a matter that was settled with terms set, Twilightstar fixed her green gem on the newest addition to leaders. "My condolences about Gingerstar, and from the sounds of it you have already quite a bit on your paws, but my clan's informed me that RiverClan's crossed into WindClan's territory multiple times. Your clan's scent has been smelt well over our border." Twilightstar mewed to Larkstar, tone a little less harsh but just as stern as it had been when addressing Bumblestar.

"And my warriors caught a RiverClan warrior, a blue-gray calico with white paws and green eyes, trespassing to apparently search for something in our territory. She was chased off with a few wounds, but I can't promise the same results if this happens again. If your clan needs something they are to wait at the border. Keep your cats out of my territory and I will do my best to ensure mine stay out of yours. If that can't be done, the consequences are going to be stepper." Twilightstar meowed evenly, clearly done with her announcements she stepped back to let Dawnstar take her place.

| Lightningstorm |
Flock Together [Tier 3] - Inactive


Lightningstorm was not usually this reserved. This quiet and removed from social niceties. If anything, the Abyssinian mix was quite fond of idle chatter, although she would admit to a preference on deeper, more meaningful conversations. Be they intellectually deep or a balm to soothe aching souls. Tonight was different, however, and the spotted lass almost wished for the clouds to cover up the sky and stop this meeting from happening. Her fear of seeing it come to pass, seeing that horrid omen that had plagued her every sleeping moment until they had turned into nothing more than restless tossing and turning that released her only when she opened her eyes to the darkened abyss of her den's walls keeping her back. Because she did not want to be there when it happened. When it started. The beginning of the end.

The farce of a truce began as it always did, except this time the lithe calico remained behind. Staring at the leaders from afar. She felt guilty, the sentiment swirling and festering in her gut until she felt herself growing ill. She knew she shouldn't be leaving Cowtuft to handle the rest of them alone like this. But a part of her wondered what was the point in meeting up with them like this anyways. It was clear that whatever strange fondness her mentor had for the healers in general was not an opinion that was shared. Drizzlecloud and Springpaw were perhaps the most openly friendly of the bunch, but with the tyrant they called a leader, how long before even that overly optimistic friendship came to an end?

Much as she loathed to admit it, the longer she held her position as medicine cat, the longer she felt like Chuckles might be on to something with that distant, aloof demeanor of his. She hadn't a clue if it was a mask like she wore. Disdain and disinterest in place of cheek and sass. But it kept the others at bay. Kept them from prying or attempting to form bonds that would be severed at the first signs of war. They had seen it happen. Right here on these rocks. Lightningstorm could still feel the flames that engulfed her, the water that stole her breath until she was certain death was all that awaited her. Seen the death of the code in a sea of rampant violence and hate. And so had Cowtuft... so how? How could he simply go up there? Signing away to the two who had replaced Stonepaw and could very well be their next enemies? Could very well contribute to the chaos they'd caught wind of the night she went from paw to storm?

Blinking, the molly stared, her almond shaped orbs growing rounder as she realized just how much silent strength her mentor was showing just now. A force that would never be understood by anyone. They hadn't been there. Hadn't seen what they had seen. Hadn't felt what he had felt. What she had witnessed. It was humbling, in a way, to have yet another display of just how undervalued... underappreciated her mentor was. She had always stated he was the smartest cat she knew, and right here, right now, he was also one of the strongest. A true pillar to stand against the very winds her clan was named for. And yet here she stood. Hiding from the storm when he had already told her there was nothing to hide from. Because she was the storm.

Eyes narrowing at the thought, Lightningstorm felt herself growing taller. She hadn't noticed when she had hunched, when she had all but cowered in fear. Like a sniveling coward. Like a cat helpless not just to herself, but to those around her. She had taken an oath, stars damn it. And she would bloody well live up to it. Never mind that StarClan could not be counted on. Never mind that she wanted to strangle the warriors of her own clan more than half the time for ineptitude. How could she complain when she acted like this at the first push back? At the first sign of resistance. She had been trained better than this. Had survived worse than some pathetic, half formed dream that the arseholes in the sky couldn't even be bothered to properly explain. She wasn't here for them. She was here for him. She was here for herself, and she would bloody well act like it. Starting now.

Throwing caution to the wind, the young, wiry framed healer slipped through the cracks, moving swiftly and fluidly through the gathered cats as the leaders barked and howled at each other like the rabid dogs they were. A cheeky, smug grin carefully placed upon her maw, she leaped, landing elegantly besides her mentor, dipping her head at those accompanying him. She could offer up an excuse. State lies as to why she was late. But it wasn't her style. She had always been honest to a fault, even when she played with her words. Besides, late was better than not there at all, and such appeared to be the case for at least one of the ThunderClan cats.

"Pardon the tardiness, loves. Got caught up, as one sometimes does. Won't happen again," she purred in form of apology, allowing a small, apologetic look to cross her gaze as lapis blue hues landed on heterochromatic green and blue for only a moment before the grin returned, her expression playful as she wrapped her tail around her paws because... as it turned out, it might not be leaf-bare, but leaf-fall weather fell at just the right cusp of almost there for her to not care for the division of seasons so much as the infernal cold wind that insisted on lingering.

Not a moment after she had sat down upon the rocks, Twilightstar took the stand, Lightningstorm's ears burning with a modicum of shame as the leader announced her name to the clans. Last moon she had understood why the lilac molly had not announced it. The previous moon had been... chaotic. Not really WindClan's moment. It had stung. Made her feel unwanted despite the logical side of her mind knowing how ridiculous it sounded. But now? Now it was a further reminder of the path she had taken. Of how she could never waver the way she'd just done again.

Standing a bit taller, the molly's grin grew, a small purr escaping her. Shame or no shame, it was still nice to be acknowledged a one of the few cats she looked up to. By the one leader who seemed to rule with logic and the best interest of her clan in mind, and not bloodthirst and a need for insatiable power. Of course, there was a fine line being walked here now. The demand for an execution was... daunting to say the least, but the sour part of her, the side that had seen enough to become apathetic to a degree understood that this might just be the least blood shedding course of action. Which of course meant it would not be the path traversed. Unless the ThunderClan leader somehow surprised her, this would be a long, death filled trail that the clans would walk before it ended. That much she was certain of.

Bluepaw sat near a group of apprentices, her blue eyes narrowing slightly. Her mottled fur was sleek and shiny, and dark, for a ShadowClan cat. Not surprising, however. Bluepaw got to her paws and headed over to the group of apprentices. ´´Hello!´´ She meowed, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice. Like usual, Bluepaw failed.

A roll of his eyes was given to Vulturefang at his comment. "I find it not worthy my time to converse with those who will be gone in a few moons or less. Though you have lasted longer than most," he acknowledged with a cordial nod to the ShadowClan deputy.

The new ThunderClan deputy garnered a cold glance before simply being ignored as he listened to the announcements made. There was no need to be polite when their Clan had murdered two of WindClan's warrior and an apprentice unprovoked. Still, he wasn't going to be openly hostile at the Gathering.

Or at least, he hadn't been planning on it until Bumblestar announced that she was aware of Spiderthroat's actions and had made him... the new deputy? The one sitting on the Seastones with him?!

Fallownose whipped his body around with a hiss, claws unsheathing and scraping against the rocks beneath him, the fur along his spine bristling with hostility, though he made no actual move to attack.

"ThunderClan has fallen even further than ShadowClan, and that's something I thought impossible. Rewarding a cat for killing a child? How much more pathetic can ThunderClan get?" he spat, yellow-amber eyes narrowed in a furious glare. Spiderthroat had better hope Fallownose never ran into him at the border, or it would be over for the newly named deputy.

“A decent amount. I’ve already learning the front paw strike and how to crouch and hunt.” The apprentice says. “How about you?

[Undertaker]

Wow, this was turning out to be quite the show. RiverClan's announcements were rather boring. ThunderClan, thankfully managed to spice it up with accusations thrown at both RiverClan and WindClan. RiverClan was apparently back to their poisoning tactics and she didn't fully understand what was going on with RiverClan and WindClan. WindClan killed one of ThunderClan's but then it sounded like RiverClan or rather RiverClan's newest deputy went out of his way to kill two of WindClan's?

The latter sounded a lot like the problem she had with ThunderClan before and once again, Bumblestar was choosing to do nothing about it. She'd get so uptight about RiverClan killing ThunderClan and then does nothing about her own deputy killing WindClan. Funny. Dawnstar stood up and took Twilightstar's place at the front.

However, right before she started speaking her large, golden amber orbs took in the state of the sky. She blinked uncertain what she should make of the ominous-looking clouds that slowly began to roll in. Was it going to rain? The wind was picking up slightly. She really hoped it was not going to rain. She didn't need to be wet and cold. The leader watched the storm-gray clouds silently drift closer and closer for a moment, and quickly refocused on the meeting.

"ShadowClan has three new apprentices, Featherpaw, Albotrosspaw, and Ashpaw. We've also had some uninvited guests found in our territory. A lynx was found and killed in our swamps, but I've been told more could be heard calling to it. I'm hoping they're passing through at the moment, but I'd keep an eye out for them nonetheless." Dawnstar warned. She was done with announcements, stepping back but couldn't help but stir the pot between ThunderClan and WindClan.

"Twilightstar's not wrong, you've done nothing but promote bad behavior, Bumblestar. You've made it clear that Spiderhthroat had no reason to act the way he did regarding WindClan, yet once again you haven't done a single thing about it, aside from making him deputy. He killed my medicine cat apprentice, and you turned a blind eye to that as well. You run around demanding RiverClan be held accountable when their actions result in the death of your clanmates but refuse to do anything about your own cats."

If Bumblestar was smart she'd either kill him or demote him, but Bumblestar has proven time and time again that she'd rather be stubborn and have her clan suffer for the actions of a few. Dawnstar could get behind that if she felt that her clanmates' actions had actually been just. But if it was just one mousebrain that caused problems for the entire clan due to a clear lack of self-control, she would have gotten rid of the cat at the start.

Dawnstar faintly wondered what it was about Spiderthroat that Bumblestar was willing to toss the lives of her clanmates under the monster for. It sounded like she knew he was trouble, but still wanted to keep him around. Weird?

Anyway, back to the sky. If Dawnstar were smart, she'd already be taking her clan home, but the drama... but the sky? She bet this was StarClan here to rain on her parade for whatever stupid reason. Upset, Dawnstar leaped down from the leader's stone, landing lightly on the beach, but didn't call for ShadowClan to return to camp at once.

Leopardpaw shuddered at Dawnstar´s accusation towards Bumblestar. However, the ShadowClan leader was right. Bumblestar had made a murderer deputy. The young she-cat´s ears flattened. She was rather terrified of Spiderthroat, and knew what he could do. However, Larkswoop of ThunderClan, who sat beside Leopardpaw, was nodding her agreement with Dawnstar. Spiderthroat had punished the ThunderClan warrior for reporting her patrol, basically, and Bumblestar hadn´t cared. She had agreed with Spiderthroat. Spiderthroat, of all cats! Larkswoop´s blue eyes narrowed in cold hatred towards her own leader. Dawnstar of ShadowClan was an honorable cat. Meanwhile, Bumblestar, on the other paw, well.....she wasn´t. At least, not in Larkswoop´s opinion, and it was clear that Dawnstar felt the same due to body language. Larkswoop watched the leaders with interest, while Leopardpaw settled down onto her belly, amber eyes wide and dark ears flat. Neither cat spoke, knowing it wasn´t their place, but they had their own thoughts, and kept them to themselves. Maybe one day, Larkswoop and Leopardpaw would be able to share their opinions. Leopardpaw looked around. Her denmate, Bluepaw, was crouched down beside other apprentices, her blue eyes narrowed thoughtfully. The young, mottled she-cat´s ears were perked. Bluepaw was clearly interested in what the Clan leaders had to say. Like Leopardpaw, it was Bluepaw´s first Gathering. Leopardpaw also noticed other apprentices from the other three Clans, Frostpaw and Ivypaw of ThunderClan, Squirrelpaw of RiverClan, and Bristlepaw of WindClan sitting near Bluepaw.

₊˚.༄ ೃ - Lynxshade was following her clanmates to the Seastones, an incredible place where rocks met an endless stretch of water with an enchanting sight. It's leaf-fall, but it bears so much beauty. The rocks feel rough under my paws, and I can smell something salty in the air.

Dawnstar and Vulturefang, along with the medicine cat Elmshadow, held a special place along with the other important cats of Riverclan, Thunderclan and Windclan. She took a moment to scan the whole place and see what her fellow clanmates were doing; mixing themselves with other clans, exchanging poisonous glares, chatting with much noise.

She decided not to make the first step with another clan - who knew how they would react to her? Nobody here knew her. She felt out of place, just like a fish out of water.
Suddenly she noticed a familiar face, a she-cat whose name bore the name of an owl. "Good evening, Owlcatcher." She waved her tail and went to sit beside her.

This was her opportunity to have a closer look on the other clans without having to lift a claw. What would Dawnstar announce in front of the four clans? And why was there so much turmoil and rumors about Riverclan? Lynxshade thought that something was wrong about their leader, but she wasn't sure what it was.

The full moon is shining on us. Is Starclan watching?

Larkswoop, a ThunderClan she-cat, had looked lost in thought until she saw the ShadowClan warrior approach her. ´´O-Oh, hello!´´ The warrior forced a purr, but she didn´t succeed in hiding her unhappiness. Something was up, and Larkswoop was clearly upset. ´´Lynxshade, right?´´ Larkswoop tipped her head. ´´It´s nice to meet you! My name´s Larkswoop.´´

Albatrosspaw listened, his chest puffing out proudly as his name was spoken.


Bluepaw, a ShadowClan apprentice as well as Albatrosspaw´s denmate, noticed the tom and his puffed out chest. She admired the fact he was confident and proud. Their leader, Dawnstar, was certainly smart. Bluepaw got to her paws and headed over to him. ´´Congratulations!´´ She purred softly, her mottled blue-gray, black and white fur glistening in the light of the full moon. Bluepaw´s blue eyes sparkled. ´´You know,´´ Bluepaw looked down at her snowy white forepaws, shuffling them. ´´I admire your confidence. That´s something I know I won´t have for a long while.´´

Lynxshade stared at the cat she had in front of her. She had a dark brown pelt mottled with white patches, and green eyes looked unhappily at her. What's her problem? She thought just a moment before the other introduced herself.

She waved her tail friendly, but she could clearly see around her that the clans hardly mixed up at all. There were especially elders talking with each other, but the youngest kept all to themselves. I wonder if this is because of the current tensions between the groups. She decided to focus on the she-cat, instead, and finally replied.

"My name is Lynxshade, and I am from Shadowclan. It is nice to meet you, too, Larkswoop." She said politely, tipping her head to one side as she looked around.
She guessed that the idea of outsiders wasn't very welcome in other clans, too, so she decided not to mention her origins and just go on with the usual chitchat she guessed was normal in these situations.

"Thunderclan... your leader is Bumblestar, if I am correct?" She had studied a little bit Shadowclan history and she knew that the relationships between her clan and the others had always been... tense. She remembered Sunkissed Creek, a name that was linked to Thunderclan from the last battle they had taken part into. When I wasn't here yet.

If she turned her head, she could see a small brown tabby with a scarred muzzle. Despite her small size, her gaze looked maybe as ominous as that of Dawnstar.
"And your deputy's name is Spiderthroat, yes. I reckon he's been choosen very recently, yeah?" She asked casually, not trying to hide her curiosity over the other clans.




(Actually she shouldn't have known her name, cause it's her first gathering!)

Larkswoop nodded. ´´Yes, Spiderthroat was recently chosen as ThunderClan Deputy,´´ She admitted with a certain hate in her voice. It was clear as the warrior said her deputy´s name. ´´I´m not going to lie, I agree with Dawnstar on this one. Bumblestar chose the wrong cat for her deputy, especially if he's killing others.´´

Lynxshade blinked in disbelief, but said nothing to express her surprise. I thought all Thunderclan cats would support their leader and deputy, but I was wrong. Thunderclan... Bumblestar.. is she aware that her warriors are not okay with her choice? Has she ever given it any thought?

Windclan and Shadowclan were both conveying their unhappiness toward this cat, Spiderthroat. She couldn't believe that a clan leader would've really chosen a murder as their successor. Was there more to it than what it seemed?

Lynxshade decided to crouch down and flicked her tail to invite Larkswoop to do so, as well. At that point, she guessed she could ask her whatever she want about the current situation.
"Larkswoop, is it true... that Spiderthroat killed a young cat?" She asked in a whisper, not turning her gaze from the leaders talking between each other in the meanwhile.

She needed to hear the whole story, not fragments of it. And what better source of information that a Thunderclan cat itself? Not that she could do anything about it, of course. But if her clan shared a border with Thunderclan, then they were all in danger as long as their cats were guided by such dangerous felines.

But there was something else she needed to investigate about. What was it about Riverclan poison? Where could they have ever found such a perillous method of killing others?
Maybe these clan cats are crazier than I'd first thought when i joined. I wonder... if I made the right choice.
