Treetiger sat at the edge of the cats, listening, waiting. Her eyes were bouncing between each leader, taking in the information and processing it slowly. The gears in her mind were turning full-throttle and she was starting to connect the dots. The Starcave collapsed... is this part of the reason for Thrush seeking her out so desperately? It wasn't like him to try to pull her aside so often, but maybe it was time to accept the invite and see what was going on. Not that she'd share this information with anyone but maybe Spiderthroat. Her gaze searched for the tom for a moment before looking at Twilightstar as she spoke now. She would definitely have to prod Thrush soon...

[Hawkbite]
Enforcer Commander
Shadow Fiend | Agatha Kitty | Kitty Softpaws T2

Oh goodie, more RiverClan drama.

Which, aside from news of the Starcave, was the most important or interesting from this Gathering. The names Bumblestar listed didn't interest him and honestly, he rolled his eyes as she dipped her head in mourning. That was a little over the top, huh? Not something the leaders ever did, so what made this so different?

Anyways, moving on to the rest of the Gathering.

The Commander flicked his ears curiously at Dawnstar's speech. She really didn't care for the ancestors, did she? Well, that was the difference between he and a lot of the cats here apparently. Hawkbite still sat by and respected his ancestors, often hoping to be heard by them. So, hearing the about the destruction of their landmark made him uneasy. Would that effect anything? Surely not, right? Perhaps he'd speak to Mistlewhisker about it later.

His tail twitched with his thoughts as he waited for the Gathering to be dismissed.

Burnedbark could see that his clanmate was distracted, but decided not to pry. As Twilightstar finished her announcements, the young warrior to his paws and stretched a moment. "The Starcave...that's a little troubling." He mused aloud. "I suppose we'll be heading back soon now." He once again observed, stating his thoughts as they came to him. He looked at Firebloom, curious as to her thoughts but unsure if it would be considered inappropriate to ask while they were still at the Gathering. "Even as a warrior the Gatherings can be...difficult to navigate." He murmured with a flick of his ear, gaze flickering around them.

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Crowtooth
Windclan Deputy | He/him | 55 Moons
Power Card: Cold Gust

Oh dear starclan Crowtooth almost started a war there. Suddenly feeling rather tense at Dawnstars arrival immediately after the tom finished mocking her he didnt throw back the 'Nope not dead. Shame, hope ya have better luck killin' me permenatly next time.' he wanted to, instead shrugging a bit stiffly at her.
Note made, do not risk that again.


Maybe its best to pay attention to the announcements rather then opening his big mouth.
Thunderclan was mad after loosing so many to a plague and twitching to punch riverclan over it. Which.... Well it was a lot and a lot he was glad didnt plague windclan, the silence was respected.
Shadowclan had a lot of apprentices warriors and blah blah they were perfect. Nothing new.
No, it was riverclans announcement that ruffled Crowtooths fur, and not for the usual reasons. The starcave.... The shattered something silently and viciously.


The skunk striped tom was deeply religious, always had been, though he knew many didnt share this view so didnt talk about it often. But the stars, their will, their omens and calls, he held it sacrosanct. And now the starcave, their main and holy site to meet the stars was gone. How, why, this wasnt possible and if it was it had to be a sign of the end of the world to come because what else could it be.
So rocked by it all Crowtooth just... Stilled, wide eyed and silent, frozen like stone against Lightningstorm as things continued to fall apart.


No one wanted to try and fix it, no one had any reverence for their dead, for the afterlife and the site where they'd gotten their leader lives. No one but Riverclan and then did the tom feel fear.

What would happen if no one bridged the gap to the stars again.


Crowtooth shifted to be able to catch Lightningstorm and Twilightstars eyes, something frantic and scared in his, silently pleading for action, for help. And he did get it at least. Twilightstar would act, maybe Lightningstorm too, and knowing her lack of care the tom leaned to whisper a quiet "Lightnin' I know ya dont like 'em but this is big. Please, please go an' see if theres somethin' ta be done? Fer me, I...." Im scared, but he wouldnt say that.



There was no time for a response though, or anymore chatting with Spiderthroat as Twilightstar was going to investigate as she called the gathering to close and had tasked Crowtooth with taking the clan home. He wanted badly to come, to see if he could help, but.... Well he had a task.


Nodding Crowtooth forced his face to go from shocked to something more neutral and calm, standing up and shaking off the building snow from his fur.
"Can do Twilightstar. Best o' luck an' take Hawkfur if ya feel ya need a heater, I swear Lightnin'storm only saps the warmth from ya, little leech. See ya Spiderthroat, best o' luck wit' the kids an' 'til next time Mistlewhisker."
Hawkfur could be added protection too, in case Dawnstar was indeed going.


"Windclan! On me, we're headin' home!"

[72/100]

Cottonpaw felt rather nervous at the news of the collapse of the Starcave, surely something like that shouldn’t happen and should truly worry them all. His nubbin of a tail twitched with the anxiety that ran through his body, how did some of the clans seem unbothered. Surely this was big news, maybe the rumours were true and Riverclan was indeed cursed.

He shook the thought away, listening to Crowtooth’s cry to head home. The youngster would be brave and tough, he promised himself after all. His little paws unsteady as he began to make the journey back home.

Jasminepaw glanced at her mentor before rising to her paws to follow her clan out. She hadn’t had the opportunity to meet any apprentices from other clans this time around, but that was okay. This Gathering had seemed…tense. The speckled she-cat wondered if they were all like this, but she didn’t want to ask. She was just ready to follow Fleetsmoke back to camp.

The tips of Firebloom's lip twitched, and the she-cat shuffled her paws nervously. The Starcave situation... It was quite the problem. She nodded, gaze moving from the ShadowClan high ranks to Burnedbark.

"Y-yes... I-it seems... S-so... Th-the Starcave is a necessary p-place... To con-connect with St-StarClan..." She answered the tom, single eye focused on the other warrior's dark hues. She paused, eyeing the WindClan cats as they made their way back to their own camp. "W-WindClan is heading b-back, it s-seems... I-I reckon we will..." And at Burnedbark's last statement, a mere nod was given.
