When they returned, it was already time for the apprentice ceremony. Starlingpaw leaned over to Stoatpaw and whispered, "Our den is going to be so cramped!" Nutpaw's fur prickled at the idea of sharing her den with even more cats. It was going to be just like the nursery, except without queens.
Silverwing assigned patrols quickly, placing herself in a hunting patrol. As she left camp, she licked Troutstar's cheek. "See you tonight," she meowed, knowing her mate was headed to the moonpool to ask for another warrior.

[ Hunting Patrol: Sheepclaw & Pinefur ]
The forest was silent whilst a shadow slipped between her grand trees. It had been a few days since Starclan had granted her a dutiful medicine cat, Pinefur, and the other day they guided Sheepclaw, her deputy, to her. Now she was on her way to support her clan with more helping paws. Once she reached the pool, she settled down by its transparent waters, before closing her eyes to touch her nose to the cool surface. As her eyes reopened, she noticed the clearing as well forest surrounding her on all side. Starry figures emerged from the trees and Oatstar bowed respectfully, "Greetings cats of Starclan. I came here tonight to express my gratitude in the progress Asterclan has made so far. I truly believe my clan will prosper for generations to come. I now request of you a cat who can teach the young the ways of the clan, a cat who will support me and my deputy to the end of their days. Thank you." She purred, before her vision blurred and she found herself lying on her side, fur soaked to the bone.

vampiress_fox wrote:Jinxstar walked back into camp late that night with Willowbolt following closely, their tails twined together. The rest of the clan had already returned, Brindlethorn was watching his kits play with each other while sharing tongues with Skydapple. Velvetrabbit and Flintshade were talking about hunting techniques, there was rustling from the medicine den which signaled that Blackberry was successful with her herb hunting, Tanagerpaw and Barkpaw could be heard sleeping in the apprentice den, and Blackmouth was soaking up the remaining heat from a rock on the edge of camp.
Jinxstar saw that life was good, and he went to his den with Willowbolt for the night. The rest of the clan took that as a signal to sleep as well, Velvetrabbit was smiling at Jinxstar and Willowbolt, happy that the two of them finally got together.
~THE NEXT DAY~
The entire clan was awoken by a wailing from the nursery, and Skydapple herding her kits out of the den. Brindlethorn rushed over to watch the kits while Skydapple ran to get Blackberry. Brindelthorn and the whole clan recognized the sound after Skydapple had her own kits. Blackberry rush into the den and did her job.
After that, Jinxstar called the clan together.
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey please join in the clearing for a clan meeting!" He called from his perch outside his den.
The entire clan gathered, with the exception of Blackberry and Blackmouth, who was making sure she was ok after her kitting.
"We have a lot of things to do today. It is time for another Gathering, and I have deicded that Barkpaw, Tanagerpaw, Flintshade, Velvetrabbit, Brindlethorn, and Myself will be attending. But, before that happens, we have several things that need to be done first. Barkpaw and Tanagerpaw have shown that they are both ready and able to join the clan as full warriors. They will be attending the gathering tonight with their full warrior names. As well, you may have all figured out that Willowbolt and I are not mates, and because of that she will be having kits of her own. I have decided that, until our kits are old enough for her to resume her deputy duties, Brindlethorn will be acting in her place. As well, I need to make my Moonpool visit today, which I will be making as soon as I am done here. I want Willowbolt to join Blackberry in her herb hunting and a boarder patrol. I want the rest of you to go out hunting." and with that Jinxstar jumped down of his perch and left camp.
Jinxstar trotted quickly towards teh Moonpool, wanting to make it there and back before the gathering tonight. He arrived quickly and took the first spot he could find.
"Starclan, please forgive me on my quickness of this visit, but I need to return to my clan and prepare for the gathering tonight. I only ask that you send me a warrior, we have many kits that are going to need to have mentors, and we are not a big enough clan for them. Please, send me intelligent and capable cats that can help train the next generation of my clan." Jinxstar bowed politely before waking and leaving.
He planned on hunting on the way back so that they would have more then enough prey for their quickly growing clan.
Back at camp, the large hunting group headed out to hunt quickly before going to the gathering tonight. Blackberry and Willowbolt followed then out more slowly, planning on taking the patrol carefully today since neither of them were going ot the gathering tonight, and understandably so.
Blackmouth was sleeping in her den, Her kits suckling quietly next to her. Skydapple herded her kits out into the clearing for them to play, warning them to keep it quiet so that they do not disturb Blackmouth and her newborn kits.
"So, what should we play today?" Stormkit asked his siblings as he trotted in an energetic circle.
Frecklekit shrugged, not saying anything as usual. It seemed like nothing anyone could do would get her to say anything. She would make other noises, though, like squeals and purring, but she just never talked. Skydapple kept a close eye on this, but did not say much since she figured that it was just time before she felt comfortable with her own voice.
"Seriously, Frecklekit, talking is not going to kill you! Ashkit, since you are not mute or too stupid to talk, what should we do?" Stormkit growled at his brother when his sister wouldn't answer him.
Frecklekit gasped indignantly, and opened her mouth like she was going to respond, but nothing came out. Her fur fluffed up and she hung her head, looking at her paws in anger at her inability to respond to her mean brother.
"Stormkit, be nice to your sister!" Skydapple scolded him.
Stormkit just rolled his eyes at her, it wasn't his fault that his sister was stupid.
"You seem to always love fighting, maybe we should do that?" Ashkit asked as he pounced on a leaf that was blowing past him.
Ashkit was already warned that he needed to be careful what he did because his frail bones would break easily otherwise.
"Great idea!" Stormkit said as he charged at his sister.
Frecklekit looked up just a moment too late, and was bowled over by her larger brother. She squeaked in surprise, but fought back. The two siblings tussled in the middle of the clearing as Ashkit chased the leaf that was blowing around on the slight breeze. Skydapple was happy to see that her kits were having fun, but the thought of Frecklekit possibly being mute scared her.
While on patrol, Brindlethorn was talking to Flintshade. It was well known that Flintshade had been watching Blackmouth closely, but he had not approached her yet.
"I am not sure what to do. I want to talk to her, but at the same time something about her scares me." Flintshade said as he watched the new warriors in front of him.
"Well, why not just approach her then? I mean, you should have seen me around Skydapple before we became mates. I was a wreck!" Brindlethorn admitted.
"He isn't lying with that one!" Barkclaw called from ahead of the others.
"Yeah, totally useless!" Tanagerpelt agreed with a laugh as she ran to catch up with Barkclaw.
Flintshade scented something and stalked off, with Brindlethorn heading in the opposite direction. Tanagerpelt and Barkclaw were finally left alone.
"So, when do you think we should tell them?" Tanagerpelt asked as she rubbed against Barkclaw's side.
"Well, maybe wait a little longer. I mean, I do not want kits yet, with Willowbolt now expecting, and Blackmouth just kitting. Skydapple's kits aren't even old enough to be apprenticed yet." Barkclaw told her as he stalked off after something as well.
Tanagerpelt was left alone as she searched for her own prey to catch.

These words from Fogstar rang in Rainheart's ears. She turned to Addertail, whom was sitting beside her "What's that all about?" the gray and white she-cat asked, confused. Addertail shrugged "That's so wierd" Rainheart mewed "Yeah." Addertail agreed. The two cats peaked out of the warriors den and saw Ravenberry already sitting beneath the high rock, Cootwing and Wrenstripe were reluclantly making they're way torwards it too. Rainheart caught Oakpaw's and Sandpaw's gaze, and they seemed just as confused as Rainheart and Addertail were "Come on, everyone" Ravenberry mewed. Rainheart started making her way torwards the rock, Addertail, Oakpaw and Sandpaw closly behind her. Rainheart stopped when she got closer to the high rock that Fogstar was sitting on top of "Why did you just yell that to the whole clan?" Rainheart asked, slightly annoyed, but it wasn't Fogstar who replied "Those are the words used by clan leaders to call the clan together" Ravenberry mewed "So how would you know that if you used to be a loner?" Rainheart asked, not taking her gaze off of Fogstar "Ravenberry told me" the tom pointed his tail at the she-cat. I quess that makes sence, Ravenberry used to be from a clan before, she'd know. Rainheart thought, but didn't say anything anymore.
Fogstar looked at his clan, Wrenstripe was lying down beside Cootwing. Rainheart and Addertail sat close to each other, not far from them sat Oakpaw and Sandpaw. Ravenberry sat by herself. "Anyways," Fogstar began "I'm not sure if you've heard, but there's a gathering soon" Fogstar mewed "A gathering?" Sandpaw repeated, confused. "Yes, clans nearby sometimes go to gatherings to... talk about they're clan and such. It's a night of truce and nobody can attack anybody. If you want to know more about it, ask Ravenberry. She was a clan cat before, therefore she knows more about this then I do." Fogstar explained "But anyways," the tom began "How about we all go to this gathering?" The tom offered "I'm afraid we can't all go..." Ravenberry mewed quietly "Why not...?" Fogstar asked in a disapointed tone. "Wrenstripe's giving birth today, so she and I have to stay behind." Ravenberry anwsered, "If my mate's giving birth, I'd rather stay with her. I'm sorry, Fogstar." Cootwing mewed apologeticly. "If you don't want to go, I can't force you." Fogstar mewed, he jumped down from the high rock that he was standing on and made his way torwards the camp entrance "Come on, Rainheart, Addertail, Oakpaw and Sandpaw. We're going."

The cat jumped, startled, and flattened her ears. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't realize that I was here, and I was just looking for some prey." Cloudswift looked at the she-cat, and whispered to Shinestar."I think we could use some more cats in our clan." Shinestar pondered it for a moment, then relaxed."I'm sorry for that outburst earlier. Would you like to join Solarclan?" The she-cat was shocked, then eagerly accepted."I'm Leafrush. If you're in need of a medicine cat, I also know a lot about herbs." She said. Cloudswift nudged Shinestar. Shinestar smiled, and welcomed the newcomer into Solarclan.

"I want you all to come to the Gathering today." Shinestar said to Leafrush and Cloudswift. Leafrush looked unsure for a moment, but nodded.. Cloudswift agreed without hesitation. Shinestar looked at the sun, realizing that the Gathering was soon, and padded out of the camp to the Gathering place.

Patchthorn was well acquainted with the territory now and knew where the best hunting areas were, and Willowcloud, though she was the newest member of the Clan, was settling in well and hoped to go out and search for herbs today. Ashenclaw was still uneasy around Patchthorn but he took an instant liking to Willowcloud. She was shy, sweet, and caring, always offering to help out with one thing or another.
"Emberstar?" Ashenclaw approached the leader, wishing to inform her that he and Patchthorn were about to set out on patrols. Emberstar smiled as she turned to him. "Ashenclaw, yes, patrols going out soon?" she guessed. The deputy nodded and proceeded to tell her the details. Emberstar nodded her head in approval, and Ashenclaw and Patchthorn left the camp. We could certainly use more cats to help out on patrols... the leader thought. She then remembered the Moonpool and decided that she would visit it today.
Willowcloud quickly stepped out of her den, flicking her tail in greeting. "Good morning, Emberstar!" she chirped. "I was just going to head out to collect herbs." "Good luck then," the leader said with a smile. "I'm off to the Moonpool."

"actually, i have no idea. so tell me, chestnutstar." he responded, giving the she-cat a curious look. shaking her head at his obliviousness, she released a sigh. "i want you to be my mate. i believe that we will have strong and healthy kits." she spoke rather quickly before pausing to wait for bristleclaw's response. the chuckle from the tom surprised her.
