(At the Moonpool; leadership ceremony)
Plover(star)
"I hail you by your new name," Cloud Chaser meowed solemnly, looking at the gray tabby she-cat, "Ploverstar. Your old life is no more. You have now received the nine lives of a leader, and StarClan grants you the guardianship of CloudClan. Defend it well; care for the young and old; honor your ancestors, the traditions of the Clan, and the Warrior Code; live each life with pride and dignity." The cats beside the original founder of CloudClan then chanted, followed soon by the founder himself:
"Ploverstar! Ploverstar! Ploverstar!"
With a jolt, Ploverstar awoke. Blinking her eyes rapidly in confusion, the gray tabby she-cat looked about her. She was back in the Moonpool, with a white she-cat laying down nearby. Assuming that this was Leek, the she-cat who was supposedly the descendant of IceClan cats, the former kittypet made her way out of the cave carefully, taking care not to make any sound. 'Lucky for her,' the CloudClan leader thought as she glanced over her shoulder, 'that she's lived a more outdoors sort of lifestyle before running away from her housefolk.' She sniffed at the thought of her housefolk, but shook her head, clearing her mind. She had chosen to come to the call of the wild. It had been her decision to leave them behind, and she would stick to it, no matter what. Ploverstar forced herself to pick her way over the rocks south toward the cliffs that had been home to her ancestors.
'I'll do my best,' the gray tabby promised.
(At the pine forest's edge near camp)
Dark Moon, Faded Song, Minnow Leap, Misty Lake, Quiet Rain
Dark Moon glanced over his shoulder at the four cats following him. The five had been separated from the rest of their Clan, and he knew it was his fault. OwlClan was gone, all because he'd let badgers overrun his territory. The lake was a good spot for cats - and badgers, it seemed.
I failed them, and I failed my ancestors, the former OwlClan leader thought, closing his eyes in shame.
Behind Dark Moon walked Misty Lake and her daughter Quiet Rain. The two had already shed their tears for Silver Snow and Falling Feather, who were separated from the two in the chaos as they fled the badgers. Misty Lake walked on straight, blue eyes dull with grief. Quiet Rain was no different. The seal lynx point bicolor she-cat's whiskers drooped with grief, still missing her littermates, but she had more hope - she'd do everything to keep her and her mother alive, she'd promised.
Bringing up the rear were Faded Song and Minnow Leap. The former healer of OwlClan was also recovering from the loss of her softpaw, Silver Snow. He was quiet, yet determined, and had been an excellent student to her teachings. The calico glanced toward Misty Lake before sighing. It had been her fault Silver Snow was lost. She should have gone after him and grabbed him. Beside the calico walked her faithful lover, Minnow Leap. The silver torbie Balinese trans tom glanced at his mate and assured her softly, "He'll be fine. Our ancestors would have told you if he wasn't." Faded Song sighed and murmured, "I can't look at her straight in the eyes anymore, Minnow Leap..." "It'll be okay," the silver torbie insisted, "we came from a disbanded Clan before we joined OwlClan. We are at least traveling together now. We will make it through, and we'll all learn to move on." "You're right," Faded Song mewed, leaning into her mate's shoulder, "we'll make it through."
(At camp)
Ploverstar
Ploverstar had only made it back to the place where her ancestors had assured had been their camp when she heard voices from behind. The gray tabby she-cat's ears flattened in fear, but she forced herself to look authoritative as she turned around. When she did, she saw five, thin cats who had all stopped at her presence. Ploverstar was dismayed to find that one of them was still a young 'un, perhaps around 7 or 8 moons of age, she guessed. The CloudClan leader asked, her voice having a guarded tone, "Who are you, and why are you on CloudClan territory?" The biggest of them, a handsome black tom, spoke for his group. Dipping his head, he meowed, "I didn't know this was within your Clan boundaries, my apologies. My name is Dark Moon, and these are what is left of our Clan, OwlClan - Faded Song, our healer; Minnow Leap, her mate; Misty Lake; and her daughter Quiet Rain." He took a deep breath and meowed, "I... would like to ask if we can join - may we see your leader?"
Ploverstar was mortified. This cat didn't see her as leader material! Stiffening in indignation, the former kittypet snapped, "I am the leader of CloudClan, thank you! My ancestors chose me to revive this Clan, and while I have many things to learn, I know I can do it!" Her expression softened as she gazed at the young 'un again. The gray tabby continued, "Like I said, this is a new Clan, and I am its only member. I would love for you five to join me, to rebuild the Clan of the Cliffs to its former glory." The tom called Dark Moon swallowed, "I know how it feels, ma'am, of how hard it is to raise a new Clan to greatness. I may have failed my Clan and my ancestors," he continued, fierce determination showing in his orange eyes, "but if you let me join, I will do my damned hardest to defend it." Ploverstar stared at the black tom with wide eyes - this cat must have been OwlClan's leader, she realized. She swallowed and meowed, indicating for the group to follow her, "My name is Ploverstar, and this is what remains of the CloudClan camp. If you are willing to help building the Clan from its ashes by my side, I would be honored." Quiet Rain, the young 'un, exclaimed quietly, "I'll gladly help, if it means we don't ever have to move away from one place for that long." Ploverstar couldn't help but address the young she-cat, feeling like she had to.
"I promise you," the gray tabby assured, claws sliding out in emphasis as she dug her front paws into the ground, "you will never have to move again. Not while I'm living and breathing," she emphasized.
