prompt answer: Mothstar paused in the undergrowth, her green eyes reflecting the moonlight from overhead as she crouched. Someone ... was in her clan's territory! What were they doing? Her hackles raised slowly as she watched the little cat plod her way around the sunning rocks. Mothstar waited, until the tip of the cat's tail disappeared around a large boulder before she slowly stalked forwards, mouth parted slightly, drawing in the cat's scent.
A young she-cat that smelled of leaves and bark, not a kittypet then. Also not an Ivyclan cat. A rogue? She wasn't sure, but either way she was bracing for a fight. Rather than going around the boulder she sprung up atop it, peering down at the stranger who was blissfully unaware of her presence.
Mothstar sat down upright on the rock, giving her chest a quick lick before she spoke. "Hello. What brings you to Mossclan territory?" Mothstar stared at the younger cat as she leaped up in fright, spinning to see her up on the rock.
"O-Oh M-Mossclan?" The young cat's ears flattened. "I've heard of Mossclan, my father used to tell me stories about the clans. He ... used to be in uhm ... what was it... Dusk ... no ... sun...?"
"Dawnclan?" Mothstar spoke up, feeling a prickle of interest now hearing that the cat was descended from a clan. "Yes! Dawnclan!" The she-cat looked excited. "Thrushfeather left to be with my mother, a rogue..." Her gaze saddened. "Thrushfeather would tell me stories all the time about the clans. I haven't seen my parents in ... two moons. There were dogs and ... they led them away from our den. They never came back."
Mothstar's gaze softened, "I'm sorry to hear that . . ." She trailed off, realizing neither of them had introduced themselves. "What is your name? Why are you here?" She repeated her previous question. The she-cat perked up again, kneading the ground as she spoke. "I'm Maple. I'm here to join a clan. Thrushfeather told me the path they took from the clans to our den so many times... I just followed that. I figured that Starclan would bring me here and they'd guide me to a clan that would be right for me." The little calico paused, dipping her head just slightly now in embarrassment. "I'd like to join Mossclan!"
Mothstar studied the younger cat for a minute, before speaking. "Maple. Under the eyes of Starclan your paws have led you to Mossclan. Warrior blood flows through your veins. As Mothstar, leader of Mossclan, I deem your new name to be Maplepaw until you receive your warrior name. I will be your mentor and help you train to become a warrior that Mossclan can be proud of." She leaped down from the rock and stood before Maplepaw who was now staring at her with awe and admiration. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!" She mewed excitedly bouncing in excitement.
Mothstar's whiskers twitched with amusement before she turned, "Lets head back to camp then. You can meet your clanmates."
