Recreation: Thunderclan (OPEN AND ACCEPTING)

[Lynxshine]

Fawnleap:
Fawnleap helps Foxstar drag Nightrose to the camp. She continues to glance at Sparrowheart.

Sunclan:

Hawkstar:
Watching the moon sink back to the far horizon, I feel my eagerness peak. Just one more day until the gathering, the meeting of the clans, my chance to take the forest by force. I can already picture the waves of confusion, and then fury, and then terror that will sweep through Riverclan, Shadowclan, and Windclan when I make my announcement. There has been peace since the great war that dismantled Thunderclan and borne Sunclan; I am about to vanquish that peace. I intend to thwart the mighty and silent rule of Starclan - they gave me my lives because I demanded it. When I went to visit them, I saw not a starry world of light and warmth, but a cold one of fog and night. Starless night. Every tale I was told as a kit was lie; Starclan is not a place of respect, but one of darkness.

Thunderclan:
Sparrowheart:
I help Foxstar and Fawnleap lift her, and keep her balanced so she doesn't fall. "How many other cats are there?" I ask calmly, flicking my tail. "Are those scary cats with the mean leader in your clan?" He shuddered, remembering the scary cats. He flicked his ears calmly and kept Nightrose still so she wouldn't fall and tried to balance her.

[FireCalls]

Thunderclan:
Foxstar:
I release Nightroses scruff long enough to answer, still pulling her along delicately with my paws. "I was the deputy top Sunclan, but when Hawkstar took over I left. Me and Shadepelt started our own clan." I pause, counting how many cats have joined so far, "We have only six cats, including you, so far. A leader and deputy, medicine cat and med apprentice, and two warriors." I conclude, taking hold of the shecat again and dragging faster. It's almost sunrise.

Fawnleap:
As she trots next to Foxstar Fawnleap considers answering Sparrowheart but decides not too, Foxstar should be the one to answer his questions. She instead concentrates on her unconcius sister.

Nightrose:
I am in a forest, this time dark and scary. I cannot see the stars, I spin and turn at every sound but see nothing. Suddenly Shadowmask creeps behind me and shreds my back, she attacks me as I lay on the ground. I am standing again, this time it is Hawkstar and Wolffur that attack. I am pinned between them and screech as they rip my soft tummy open. Nightrose thrashes in her sleep, yowling and screeching. Her mind thinks the dream is real as she attempts to escape from the cruel paws that hold her down.

Sunclan:
Wolffur:
I peak my head over my paws and get up. It was nearly time for the gathering, and Wolffur felt ambition crawling through his pelt. The moon peaked over the trees, and Wolffur smiled. He padded up to Hawkstar and meowed, "I can't wait to see the look on their faces, the horror," He meowed. Then continued, "Puddlekit and Lavakit are six moons old now, they're ready to be apprentices," he meowed, glancing at the two kits, who were still at the fighting battle.

Puddlekit:
"We're six moons, Finally!" she meowed playfully, purring. "We'll be apprentices come today or tomorrow," She leaped on her brother's tail, and nipped it playfully to hear him yowl in shock.

Lavakit:
It was nearly time for the gathering, and today they were on their Sixth moon. "Finally," he meowed to Puddlekit. "Ow!" he yowled in shock as she bit his tail, and he ducked under her and nipped her foreleg. With a triumphant yowl, he leaped onto her back and pinned her. "I fight better than you," he mocked her playfully, not really meaning it. But when they saw Wolffur glare at them, they cowered down at the ambitious cat's gaze, and sat down calmly.

[FireCalls]

Sunclan:
Hawkstar:
I growl in approval, "Yes, I will name them today. Would you like to apprentice Puddlekit? I was planning on training Lavakit myself." I say vicariously, eyeing the two kits almost hungrily. They will grow to be the purest Sunclan warriors, the most loyal, the most brutal.

Thunderclan:
Sparrowheart:
"Huh." He meowed and continued,"Are there any other mean cats in that clan?" He meowed, flicking his ears as he carried Nightrose. Feeling the she-cat thrash in her sleep, he set her down "Hold on, she needs poppyseeds for smooth sleeping," He meowed, giving the Molly some poppyseeds to eat. "We can lift her again," he meowed, hoisting her up onto his back.

Sunclan:
Wolffur:
"Of course I will," He nodded, then glared back at the kits. "They'll be even stronger than they are now," he meowed, and added, "For sure," he meowed, smiling. "When are we going to the gathering?" he meowed, unsure. His ears flicked timidly before adding, "I can't wait to see their reactions." He meowed ruthlessly.

[FireCalls]

Sunclan:
Hawkstar:
I peer at the tom, "The sun is rising; the gathering is tonight at moonhigh." I remind him, a bit harshly, "We'll leave with the first of the stars." I add, then look upon the kits once more. "I'm eager to see how they mature. I'll call the ceremony at sunhigh. They, and every other cat of Sunclan, will be attending the gathering tonight." I stare hard at the tom, trying to make sure he understands how imperative our strength is, "We are few; but we are stronger than any clan in the forest, right now. We don't need medicine cats, kits, or elders - they are weakness. What we have is much stronger." I growl, feeling my pelt prickle with anticipation.

Leopardfur:
I trot over to Hawkstar and Wolffur, overhearing the tail end of their conversation. "Did you say every cat will be at the gathering?" I ask eagerly, not really expecting an answer. "That's marvelous, Hawkstar! They'll see how powerful we all are! Already those two kits look half-grown into strong warriors!" I comment, noting how their muscles stand out much farther than an average kits. They already have the look of determination I their eyes and the heat of battle in their veins.

Thunderclan:
Foxstar:
I lay her down while he gives her poppy, then help her onto his back and keep her steady with my tail, "We're nearly there." I say, nodding towards the place where the river slows and the willows are looming ahead, casting long shadows in the dawn light, and blocking all view of the hidden glade beyond. "We have to cross the river on stones, but it's current is slow here, there should be no trouble if we have to wade across instead." I say, aware that leaping from rock to rock might be difficult with a cat on board.

Thunderclan:
Fawnleap:
"A swim is easy, I can drag her across myself." Fawnleap says dissmissavaly. She pulls Nightrose across the river easily, her fur shedding water like a duck's feathers. Fawnleap waits patiently at the edge of the river; her fur dripping water.

Sunclan
Shadowmask:
Eagerly sits outside ready for the yowl that will alert her to run to the gathering. She is ready, claws out and sharp. Shadowmask clears her face making it emotionless and scary, a face to scare kits.
