❦ TINYLEAF
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
xxxxit was the night of the gathering, and tinyleaf, for once in her life, felt resentment. she was blossomclans sole medicine cat, with no apprentice
yet, while blizzardwatcher, her dear friend and fellow medicine cat from brookclan cat an apprentice for himself. sure, he was older, but blossomclans
medicine cat worried what would happen if they were left without a medicine cat. the petite she-cat was sitting on the outskirts of her raised den,
looking down into the camp, seeing warriors mingle here and there, anticipation crawling all over their pelts. tensions hadn't been great with the clan
across the river, and everyone knew it. moving her eyes around the camp, she eyed the nursery, where her beloved sister, shadowpelt, housed herself,
awaiting the arrival of her kits. perhaps one of them would become her apprentice? tinyleaf shook the thought, and stood, nimbly making her way
down the ravine from her den to the camp, where she promptly picked out a vole, and made her way to the nursery, dropping the vole in front of the
queen. she offered a small smile to her sister, before fidgeting her paws. "i brought this for you before the gathering. you'll need all the strength
you can muster if you're traveling with us tonight." she leaned forwards and hastily licked her sisters ear, before stepping back. "i apologize for such
a short visit, i just have to get things in order before we leave for the gathering." she gazed apologetically at the black she-cat before turning and
slithering out into the clearing. it wasn't long after that when the clan departed for the clearing.
xxxxtinyleaf trailed slightly behind yarrowstar and nettlenose as they led blossomclan through their wooded territory. the gathering place was in a
meadow that stretched north of both blossomclan and brookclans territory. tinyleaf watched as they emerged from the woods and came across the
river that separated the two clans, and began to follow the river up. her paws grazed gracefully over the pebbles and stones, water lapping gently
besides her. it didn't take long for the clan to reach the long grass of the meadow, and they all came to a stop at the edge, as if they were waiting
to make sure there was no danger. after it was clear, the medicine cat followed her leader and deputy, weaving through the tall grass, heading to the
meeting rocks. it didn't even take a minute for the large rocks to come into view. she noted that they weren't the first clan there, brookclan had beat
them. tinyleaf departed from her clans side, and began making her way towards brookclans medicine cats, blizzardwatcher and his sweet apprentice
timberpaw. she approached with a small smile, and dipped her head in greeting to them. "how are you two tonight?" she asked, sitting besides them.

❦ STORMFLAME
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
xxxxstormflame sat neatly in the clearing, waiting for the sign that brookclan would head to the gathering. he was content, and currently thinking
about echopaw, his new apprentice, and how this would be her first gathering. his gaze traveled towards the apprentice den, as if trying to spot his
apprentice. being unsuccessful in his lame attempt, stormflame shut his eyes and twitched his whiskers, reminiscing. he remembered his first gathering,
and how scary it seemed. and now, he loved them. his ear twitched as he heard birchstar call for the clan to leave, and as he opened his eyes, he caught
glimpse of his siamese apprentice. he stood, and made his way over to her, flicking her ear with his tail. "it's time to go," he motioned towards the camp
exit with his muzzle, before slowly starting to pad away, making sure echopaw didn't fall too far behind. as they exited, the warrior glanced down at the
she-cat. "are you excited? this is your first gathering!" he twitched his whiskers again and patiently awaited her answer. the clan passed over the
moorland they called home, before in the blink of an eye, they were at the river that separated the two clans. glancing across, the warrior saw no sign
of blossomclan, before they headed upstream, towards the large meadow that was on the outskirts of their territory.
xxxxas the clan came to a stop to survey the long grass ahead of them, stormflame leaned down towards echopaw. "remind me to take you out here
one time, it's a great place for hunting." he murmured playfully, before he took a few paces forwards into the long grass. "it seems a little daunting,
not being able to see or really smell much, but you get used to it." he meowed to her, staying close to her side so she wouldn't get lost. they weaved
through the grass until the meeting rocks came into sight, and stormflame slowly came to a stop in the small clearing, scanning the area for someone to
sit with. in the distance, he spotted littlepetal, and quickly made his way over, making sure echopaw didn't wander off quite yet. the tom approached
the other warrior and purred a greeting, before turning his attention to echopaw. "at gatherings you're allowed to mingle with blossomclan, so you
don't have to sit with me if you don't want to." he twitched his whiskers. "however, you're more than welcome to, i know the first gathering can
be kind of daunting." with that, he sat and pulled his tail neatly over his paws.
