Cindersky
With her shoulders rolled back, chin up, and eyes bright and clear, Cindersky stepped onto the sandy expanse that lay below the Seastones. Her jaws was set in a hard line, though no expression was present in her gaze. She walked alongside her apprentice, making sure that they each took their time in arriving. Naturally they had fallen behind a little bit, and as the silver she-cat emerged into the rest of the gathered cats it was quite obvious a scene of sorts had occurred.
Blood scent hung in the air, but it did not phase Cindersky like it normally would. Her ear twitched as she caught the last bit of Dawnstar leaping back onto the Streamstone - no doubt the one behind whatever had just occurred.
"It looks like only RiverClan has arrived for now," she informed Cloudypaw, wondering if her apprentice was able to detect the distinctly different scents that lingered in the air. There was one that belonged to ThunderClan, one to ShadowClan, and one to RiverClan. The moorland scent that usually lingered on the fur of WindClan cats was missing however, but hopefully would be arriving soon.
Resting her blue gaze on her apprentice, she gave her a soft smile. "Would you like to meet some of the apprentices from the other Clans?" It would be a good chance for Cloudypaw to learn about the different cats out there. Not make friends, per say, since one day she ran the possibility of having to meet them on the battlefield. But making small conversations and building connections here and there was never a bad idea.
The white cat yawned as they padded into the moonlight gathering, the evening before they didn't sleep well, some cat decided to stay up meowing to themself all night. Yet again the moonlight washed away the red tint to their white pelt, replacing it with a pretty blue-grey glow.
"MarshFeather,-!" The apprentice called out to a pale cream and brown tabby, "My beautiful pelt! It's- it's blue!" They sobbed to their mentor as she padded over to them, MarshFeather gently laid her tail across the white apprentice's back sympatheticly. "Hey, don't worry, it'll turn back to normal when we get back under the pine trees. It's just the light Whitepaw" but this kind gesture didn't seem to bring Whitepaw any comfort and the white apprentice kept sobbing. "I want it normal now! MarshFeather I look ugly! I can't show my face to the other clans looking like this!" MarshFeather let out a small puff of amusement at the sobbing 6 moon old cat. "Whitepaw, look at me." Whitepaw's amber eyes darted up to their mentor with a pout. "You look pretty, you look nicer than most of the apprentices at gatherings, okay?" The white apprentice nodded and followed their mentor into their first gathering.
WhiteRose blinked as the memory faded, and they padded towards the shore, sitting down right at the edge of the lapping waves, waiting for the gathering to begin. They noticed a few shadowclan cats mingling with the other clans, which WhiteRose saw no point in. Why make friends with cats who are your enemies? But then again no cat from other clans actually talked to them at gatherings, perhaps the tall white cat was intimating?
➢ Close behind her mentor, the young tortoiseshell molly had walked along with the other clan cats in silence. This was the first Gathering to happen after she was named an apprentice, so she kinda had to go along with everyone else, right? It was an unofficial tradition or something like that. Brightpaw did not know to be certain. Regardless, the Thunderclan youth followed Nectarflame, assuming that it was a safe choice to stick close to the bengal shecat. Watching the chaos ensue around them, Brightpaw didn’t know really how to react, her green-hued eyes just widening as Dawnstar ended the life of some dummy that attacked another cat - or something like that. It was all happening way too fast for the lean shecat to follow what was all happening. “Are all gatherings like this?” She meowed quietly to Nectarflame. Brightpaw genuinely did not know, considering this was her first time at a gathering. She was not aware that being so unbothered by the slaughter of Sprucefall was not normal, but her mentor was calm, so she would be too. Though some cats, she noticed, were leaving the gathering after witnessing what just happened. Huh. Oh well, Brightpaw wasn't gonna be a coward. She was braver than them.
"No," Nectarflame replies plainly. Her gaze lingers on the massive leader for a few heartbeats before she swivels her head to peer at the apprentice. "Many are bland and tasteless, you would accomplish little outside of finding some acquaintances to talk to while your leaders squabble." The golden she-cat shakes her head in a dismissive manner. "They are rarely in my taste, but as your first Gathering it would be appropriate to chaperone you. And it is a good thing, it seems."
After another moment or two, the cat lets her gaze wander. "You are already acquainted with ShadowClan and their scent. The other Clan present right now is RiverClan- Notice their distinctive smell. Sure, you could fall in line with everyone else and call it fishy, but there is more than that, just as we do not only smell of dirt and ShadowClan, much to the incredulity of anyone who may hear it, do not reek of mud or sludge. Our scents are a part of our identities. And when we travel to and across borders, they will help guide you to know where exactly you are at all times. Eventually you may even be such a sharp nose that you could recall which scent belongs to which cat. For now, though, we will begin with memorizing RiverClan." The she-cat concludes with a hint of a smile, clearly under the impression that she had somehow been funny at some point.

The long legged apprentice wasn't about to leave the gathering with all the chaos but she disliked what was happening, for crying out loud Dawnstar had just killed a cat! Shaking her head she averted her blue gaze and searched for a place to seat herself, making her way to the far edge where the water lapped at the shore the pretty silvery-white she-cat sat near the water her pelt glowing in the light of the moon as she let the waves lapping at the shore calm her nerves as waited for the gathering to begin.
could they not have one good, normal day? watching the brawl between a shadowclan warrior and his target being killed right after by dawnstar, sagepaw felt his stomach churn. he inhaled deeply, slowly breathing out, then looked at the cat he had sat beside. oh, it was one of the dreaded minions. ”and i thought there was no violence at gatherings.” she remarked under her breath.

Seeing everything going on the warrior got up to try and see if he could help, but Dawnstar called Grimhound to take care of it. Awe he always missed all the fun. Hearing a small voice the large tom looked down at this apprentice. They stenches of the clan he was residing in alongside some of his own clanmates. Great two cats get to get rid of a traitor and he was stuck here with an apprentice. "All cats are just chaotic. It's their fault the peace is gone.", he meowed, talking about the cats that were being disrupting.

Wow this was a great start to a gathering, but she had to be honest this one was the best one she ever went to. It had a lot of drama. Sure she wasn't one for any at clan meetings, but this was a gathering. Looking over at the cat that spoke to her she saw it was one of her own clanmates. "Well Shadowclan smells kind of bitter. Well at least to me it does. Windclan smells like the wind and Thunderclan kind of smells very odd.", she meowed. She didn't like Thunderclan, so she tried not to memorize their nasty stench.

Spottedpaw nodded, trying to memorize them all. She looked at Petuniafire admiringly. "You're a really good warrior. I wish you were my mentor. Featherspirit really hasn't taught me anything yet"
(I do not share these thoughts. Well, not the mean thoughts. Thats just Spottedpaw)

Hi guys!
Iḿ so sorry about taking such a long break, I wasn feeling emotionally well, and then made a big move to a new state. I am going to start over with all new characters. All my other cats can be remembered, or talked about, but I will not be using them anymore. If anyone can update me on what happened while I was gone, that would be really helpful, and I love roleplaying with everyone on site.

The warrior listened. Mentor? She had just become a warrior. She wasn't sure if she would be ready for a while. Plus she knew Featherspirit. Well sort of, but she was pretty sure there must be a reason why. "I'm sure she'll teach you in no time. Until then tomorrow I could take you out. It'll be late by the time we get home today.", she meowed. Petuniafire could at least help this apprentice. Especially since she hadn't of had a mentor up until she became a warrior. The difference was Spottedpaw had a mentor. Any warrior though could help teach.

Spottedpaw nodded happily. "Thanks! Maybe-" Spottedpaw stopped herself and stared at her paws. She wanted to cry. But she couldn't tell anyone that she cried herself to sleep at night. Except maybe her half-brother. Then everyone would think she was a weak, pathetic, traitor.

The warrior loved the joy of younger cats even though she was young herself. It was when the apprentice seemed less out of it she got a bit concerned. "Hey you alright? You seem a little off now.", she whispered where only she could hear. Petuniafire didn't want to embarrass them, but if they didn't want to talk about it she'd drop it and talk about something else.

Spottedpaw shook her head. "N-nothing's wr-wrong" Darnet, her stutter had slipped through. It was hard not to stutter, but Spottedpaw tried really hard not to.
