Silverstar | Female | 42 moons | Leader | Apprentice: None | Crush: open | Tags: Flameflurry, Sprigpaw | Mentions:

Silverstar nodded to Sprigpaw, then flicked her tail for her and Flameflurry to follow her as she led the way out of camp. She set off at a brisk trot and headed away from the Lightclan border. Once they were well away from camp, she slowed and spoke to her companions. "Let's spread out in this area and see what we can find." She nodded to her two companions indicating they should begin hunting, then sniffed the air to see if she could pick out any prey scent trails.


Juniperclaw | Male | 21 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: None | Crush: open | Tags: Gentianstep, Salmonsurge, Spirepaw | Mentions:

Juniperclaw nodded to the tom. "Of course, Gentianstep. I will go fetch them now." Juniperclaw trotted over to the nursery where Salmonsurge had emerged with Spirepaw. "Hi Salmonsurge, Spirepaw. Gentianstep wants the three of us to go on a border patrol with him. Are you both ready to go? Gentianstep just needs to send out one more patrol then we'll go."

Bumblefoot | Male | 65 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: Swanpaw | Crush: open | Tags: Olivefluff, Swanpaw | Mentions: Whitewillow, Flutterdrift, Nectarpaw, Amberpaw

Bumblefoot looked around to see who else was ready to go out on patrol. Olivefluff, Whitewillow, Nectarpaw, Flutterdrift, and Amberpaw hadn't been assigned yet. He padded over to where Olivefluff was sitting expectantly. "How would you like to go on a hunting patrol with me and Swanpaw?" He asked the warrior. "I just need to send Whitewillow, Flutterdrift, and their apprentices out, and corral Swanpaw, then we can go when you're ready." He glanced over to where the apprentices were eating.

Waiting for Olivefluff

Foxstrike | Male | 12 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: none | Crush: Olivefluff | Tags: Cedarstripe, Oakstone, Pepperpaw | Mentions: Bumblefoot

Foxstrike padded up to Cedarstripe as he was speaking to Pepperpaw. "Bumblefoot said we can go on a border patrol. As soon as you're done eating, Pepperpaw. We can wait for you" He meowed to the apprentice, not wanting her to feel rushed to finish and give herself a bellyache by eating too fast. He looked warmly at Cedarstripe and waited for him to say something, or lead them back to Oakstone to wait for Pepperpaw.


Amberpaw | Female | 8 moons | Apprentice | Mentor: Flutterdrift | Crush: None | Tags: Swanpaw, Pepperpaw, Kestrelpaw | Mentions:

Amberpaw jumped to her paws and took off after Swanpaw, not bothering to see if Kestrelpaw or Pepperpaw were in on the race. The older apprentice was fast, and the two moon difference between them seemed to make Swanpaw faster than Amberpaw could keep up with. "That's not fair!" she said as Swanpaw pulled ahead of her. Not only was Swanpaw bigger, but she got a head start because Amberpaw was not prepared. She slowed as she reached the fresh kill pile, Swanpaw already there with a smug look on her face. "You cheated, you took off before I knew we were racing!" Amberpaw swiped a paw at Swanpaw.

Waiting for Swanpaw

He turned to look to the warrior approving him, showing his annoyed mood to him, not even bothering to hide it. He listened to the warrior with pure silence he enjoyed how nervous that little fact made the others feel, the nervousness almost shined from Yhistledown, which made him a little proud of himself and a little bit annoyed too. He flicked his ears as he thought for the tom question "...why not, we can do a double training together, even if it may not bring any good to them, as aren't they like siblings?" he murmured. He thought too that if they did double training, he could really need to do anything for his apprentice other than sit down and look.

Featherstone | Dawn | Queen | female | tags: Salmonsurge, Spirepaw, Zinniakit

She smiled at Salmonsurge "thank you, Salmonsurge" she meowed to her, she looked over to the few other cats who were likely going to the same patrol with the she-cat. She turned to Zinniakit, who walked back to the nursery as well "yes, Salmonsurge bringing a leaf for you two to pass time with" she mewed to her. She looked at the mice "there is still some mice left if you're hungry?" she meowed to the kit.

Batkit | Dawn| kit | female | tags: Salmonsurge, Spirepaw, Zinniakit

She flicked her tail still pretty excited "cool, cool, I am waiting for you two to return then" she meowed to the Salmonsurge and gave a sweet smile to Spirepaw as well. The black kitten turned to Zinniakit "So you did come back too, cool, cool, sure we can play with that leaf or whatever else you have in mind" she meowed to another kit.

Fallenheart | Light | medicine cat | agender (he) | apprentice: Kestrelpaw | tags: Kestrelpaw

He sat the near the medicine cat's entrance his eyes looking way at the leader there, he was a little worried about tonight's gathering, what if things go very wrong in there when the tensions are pretty high now after what happened between the two clans? A sigh escaped his throat as his thought was broken by the racing apprentices there, seeing his own apprentice with them, he made a smile as he looked at Kestrelpaw 'It's good to have friends...' he thought giving the young she-cat a nod when he noticed the tail wave of the young cat. He stood up and walked to the fresh-kill pile "morning Kestrelpaw" he meowed gently "I took you some space to the medicine cat den if you want to make your nest there now when you're a medicine cat apprentice?" he mowed to her.

Olivefluff | Light | warrior | male | crush: Foxstrike | tags: Bumblefoot

He was sitting and waiting for anyone to bring him out of a patrol or then he just could go out by himself. Yawning he faced the older warrior approving him "sure I am up for that" he meowed in response and stood up to follow the Bumblefoot. He nodded to the tom as he kept talking about the other cats he was planning to invite to the patrol. His eyes looked over at Foxstrike there as he was there with his father to get Cedarstripe's apprentice.

Pepperpaw | Light | apprentice | female | mentor: Cedarstripe | tags: Amberpaw, Swanpaw, Kestrelpaw , Cedarstripe

She turned to her mentor walking to the fresh-kill pile "alright I am pretty much done..." she responded to him and swallowed the small bird with quick bites and swallowed. She turned to the two aåårentices there "well, I need to go now, see you later" she meowed to them before turning to leave the fresh-kill pile.

Nectarpaw | Light | apprentice | male | mentor: Whitewillow | tags: Whitewillow, Flutterdrift

He looked at the group of she-cat apprentices there, flicking his tail as he walked past them. He was not sure if could he be pleased or annoyed to be the only male apprentice at the camp now when the Foxpaw got his warrior name and joined the warrior's den. Shooking his black pelt he walked over to his mentor and the warrior Flutterdrift who he overheard asking something about how to hunt with a white pelt. He sat down near his mentor but kept silent for now as they had a conversation going on and he didn't want to bother them with his training questions.

((We are time skipping to the leaders leading their cats to the gathering))

Dawnclan

Silverstar | Female | 42 moons | Leader | Apprentice: None | Crush: open | Tags: Flameflurry, Thistledown, Gentianstep | Mentions:

As the sun began to set, Silverstar called the clan together. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join for a clan meeting!” Once the cats had gathered, she called out the names of the cats joining them for the gathering. “Flameflurry, Thistledown, Gentianstep, and I will be the only ones to attend the gathering. We fear another attack from Lightclan, so we dare not leave the camp unguarded. I trust all of you who are staying behind to protect the camp well.” She nodded to Gentianstep and flicked her tail to beckon Flameflurry and Thistlesown as she padded towards the camp entrance. She led their small party towards the moontree.


Juniperclaw | Male | 21 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: None | Crush: open | Tags: | Mentions: Silverstar

Juniperclaw was angry at first when he heard Silverstar choose such a small party for the gathering, but he had to agree that her logic was sound. They knew Lightclan wasn’t above attacking their camp, so it made sense to leave strong protection at the camp. He watched as the gathering party left camp, then posted himself near the camp entrance to keep watch.

Lightclan

((I am posting this for Keesa, she will take over Sunstar again soon!))

Sunstar | Leader of Lightclan | location: Lightclan camp - Tree bridge at Dawnclan border | Tages: Cedarstripe, Whitewillow, Flutterdrift, Olivefluff, Foxstrike

Pride swelled in Sunstar as she looked at her clan spread out before her. They looked so strong, so determined. She couldn’t imagine serving a more worthy clan. “Cats of Lightclan” she meowed, her voice echoing as a hush fell across the camp “Tonight we face Dawnclan. I have faith that starclan is watching us and will preserve the peace of the gathering. Be sure that we will not be the ones to break it but stay vigilant. I want claws sheathed and eyes open.” She turned to look at the cats left behind to guard camp, “to you I trust our home. Be ready for anything and take comfort that we will return with answers.” With that she stood and trotted out of camp towards the Dawn clan border, her tail held high.
She didn’t slow until she reached the edge of her territory by the tree bridge. She watched the way the moonlight reflected off the water, sending up a silent plea to startclan to protect them as the crossed into enemy territory. Memory’s of leading the dawnclan attack came unbidden to her mind and she could almost feel Grassheart beside her. Her deputy had been electric that night, restless almost to the point of being eager. She had been smiling, the last time they had stood here. She had smiled at Sunstar, then leapt ahead towards that other clans camp, fearless as ever. Her jaw tightened with determination as she pushed past the sudden wave of grief and carried on, leaping onto the fallen tree and looking back to give her clan. Her posture was confident and her expression stoic, “Keep your wits about you and stick close to me.” Then she turned and walked across the tree bridge into Dawn clan territory heading towards the moontree.

Bumblefoot | Male | 65 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: Swanpaw | Crush: open | Tags: | Mentions: Foxstrike

Bumblefoot settled himself to keep watch near the camp entrance. Sunstar trusted him to keep the clan safe while she was gone, and he took that job seriously. He could hear the cats left behind milling around the camp, anxious for the gathering to end and hear the news. Bumblefoot was equally anxious, and he hoped he didn’t look as nervous as he felt.

Foxstrike | Male | 12 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: none | Crush: Olivefluff | Tags: Sunstar | Mentions:

Foxstrike followed Sunstar as she led their clan to the gathering. He was determined to see this meeting through, to get answers from Dawnclan about their actions, but he hoped to prevent any further violence. He nodded as she addressed the cats with them, then followed her into Dawnclan territory, to the Moontree.


Amberpaw | Female | 8 moons | Apprentice | Mentor: Flutterdrift | Crush: None | Tags: | Mentions:

Amberpaw was upset to be left behind from the gathering. She didn’t understand why she had to stay behind. She waited up in the clearing for a bit after the cats left for the gathering, then decided she was going to wait for them from her nest.

「🪶」 ;; kestrelpaw | female | 7 moons | medicine cat apprentice | tags: fallenheart | mentions: none

"Thanks Fallenheart!" Kestrelpaw chirped. She spent part of the morning arranging her own nest in the medicine cat den, and spent time learning with Fallenheart. She watched the gathering patrol leave, feeling slightly uneasy at how there were very few warriors left in camp. If they were attacked, she would have to put her skills to use.

Sitting beside Fallenheart, she meowed, "Why is it that medicine cats don't go to the gathering? Is it because we can't fight?" It wasn't entirely true that LightClan medicine cats couldn't fight; she knew Fallenheart had learnt basic fighting moves in the past and it was a tradition for LightClan cats to learn regardless which path they took, but she was still curious.



「🪵」 ;; oakstone | male | 45 moons | warrior | tags: bumblefoot | mentions: cedarstripe

Thankfully, the patrol went without a hitch and they didn't encounter any DawnClan cats. However, there weren't any signs of Grassheart around the territory either. He tapped his brother reassuringly on the shoulder as the gathering patrol left, not saying anything but knowing and trusting his brother the most to make good judgements.

The only other warrior left in camp, Bumblefoot, was keeping watch near the entrance. He walked up to Bumblefoot and sat a comfortable distance beside him, just to let the other cat know he was there and keeping vigilant too. After a while, he meowed, "I can stay around the other side of camp while you watch the entrance. Just in case. And to keep an eye on the apprentices." And patiently waited for Bumblefoot's opinion.

Gentianstep stood at attention beside Silverstar as she announced the gathering patrol, returning her nod before following her toward the Moontree. He carried himself to the gathering as a vision of calm. Moving in measured strides, Gentianstep walked with his head and tail high. He stayed close behind his leader, warily scanning their surroundings for ambush, though he did spare a longer glance at Thistledown. Would his softhearted friend be safe if LightClan chose to attack? Gentianstep had barely a moment with him since he became deputy, but his duties had to be his highest priority now. So he tore his gaze away to search the shadows. Perhaps, if Gentianstep kept up this confident composure, he could convince himself he was ready. He refused to acknowledge any of the fears that had plagued him earlier this morning. It was showtime--- and he would show nothing but determination and restraint.

Salmonsurge's short tail lashed as she listened to her leader. Silverstar was only bringing four cats to the gathering? Was she asking to get them all killed? As much as the hotheaded warrior would like to give LightClan a piece of her mind, she had to stay back to guard the camp. Salmonsurge shouldered her way over to the entrance, settling down beside Juniperclaw. If LightClan thought that this would be a good time to attack their camp again, they would be sorely mistaken. Any trespasser would have to go through these teeth and claws.

Beampaw had buried his head between his paws. After watching the small gathering patrol leave, he closed his eyes to sear the image of the four cats into his mind... in case they did not return. His uncle Gentianstep would take care of them all, Beampaw knew it, but who would take care of his uncle? What if LightClan attacked them at the gathering, or attacked the camp during the gathering? The young apprentice somehow squished himself down even smaller than he was, crushed by the weight of his worries. There was always one place Beampaw found himself when the night loomed too big and dark and scary: the Elders' den. The elders' stories and advice brought him peace. And helping others would ease the burden of his worries. He crept over there carrying what he hoped was comfrey root, slipping in softly and whispering, "Firejaw? Are you awake? How are you?" He nudged the root toward the elder. "I brought some comfrey to line your nest if your joints are feeling stiff tonight."

𝗦𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗣𝗔𝗪

Sprigpaw had a prank in the works. After the successful hunting patrol, the apprentice had very kindly changed the elders' and queens' bedding. But all those moss scraps weren't about to go to waste. She gathered the old bedding bits into a massive ball, saving it in a mud puddle on the outskirts of camp. When the timing was right, she would lob the sopping mess right onto Spirepaw's flank! It would take ages to clean the stink and gunk out of his fur! That arrogant furball would get what's coming for him. With both her leader and mentor gone at the gathering, mischief could reign supreme. Of course, Sprigpaw was worried about the gathering too. The apprentice hadn't felt safe in her own camp since that awful attack last moon. But she found it better to distract herself with kit-like games, rather than fill her head with fears about stuff she couldn't control. So she crouched at the edge of the camp, furtively rolling a mossy lump in the mud.

Cedarstripe appeared composed as he listened to his leader's speech, sitting with his dark brown tail tucked neatly over his paws, but fury and fear simmered beneath his stoic surface. His claws sunk into the earth, sheathing and unsheathing as he prepared himself for the gathering. Only the gentle touch of Oakstone at his shoulder kept him grounded. Cedarstripe offered a smile to his brother as thanks, with warmth that reflected none of the turbulence inside. ...Peace. Sunstar and Oakstone and Foxstrike and everyone else expected him to uphold the peace. But how could he face those DawnClan murderers without a thousand accusations pouring out of his jaws? Sunstar commanded her patrol to stay silent about Grassheart in the one chance they had to ask about her. He wanted to respect his friend's wishes regarding her deputy, but this decision would enrage Oakstone if he knew. Cedarstripe had to carry this burden for the both of them. With one last look at his brother, he turned to follow Sunstar to the Moontree. When his leader paused at the tree bridge, Cedarstripe could see how her jaw clenched in the full moon's light, despite her indomitable stance. He leapt after Sunstar as they crossed the bridge, pressing against her flank to remind her that he was by her side. He would always be there to defend his friend.

Silverstar | Female | 42 moons | Leader | Apprentice: None | Crush: open | Tags: Flameflurry, Thistledown, Gentianstep | Mentions: Lightclan gathering patrol

As the small patrol came into view of the Moontree, Silverstar paused and spoke to her clanmates. “It seems like we are the first to arrive. Stay close together, and try not to let Lightclan ruffle your fur. We are here to get answers and hopefully resolve our conflict, not to antagonize Lightclan and start another battle.” With a last glance at her companions, she turned and led the way into the clearing, her head and tail held high. She padded towards the Moontree and settled near the base, searching the edge of the clearing for any sign of Lightclan arriving.


Juniperclaw | Male | 21 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: None | Crush: open | Tags: Salmonsurge | Mentions: Beampaw, Emberlight

Juniperclaw nodded to Salmonsurge as she came to sit with him, content with their watchful silence. He figured she was just as frustrated as he was to be left behind. Only four cats at the gathering, and no medicine cats! He could understand not wanting to bring Beampaw since the young apprentice had little training, but he had never been to a gathering that Emberlight wasn't present. What would Starclan think? What would Lightclan think? He realized he had been thrashing his tail and digging his claws into the earth, so he forced himself to take a deep breath and relax. He glanced over at Salmonsurge, noting a fiery look in her eyes. He knew the hotheaded older warrior was just as eager as Juniperclaw to take her revenge on Lightclan, and he only hoped she'd save some Lightclan warriors for him.

Bumblefoot | Male | 65 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: Swanpaw | Crush: open | Tags: Oakstone | Mentions: Sunstar, Grassheart

Bumblefoot nodded to Oakstone without taking his gaze from the camp entrance. "Good idea, if Dawnclan decides to try and pull something sneaky tonight, we don't want to be caught off guard." Even without looking at the warrior he could tell something was agitating him, and Bumblefoot took a guess since the same thing weighed on his mind. "I sense you are worried about what Dawnclan will say at the gathering. Am I right?" Bumblefoot finally looked at Oakstone to confirm his suspicion. Any other time he would have been joking, asking a rhetorical question, but there were so many things to be worried about that Bumblefoot had to ask to be sure of what was bothering his clanmate.

Foxstrike | Male | 12 moons | Warrior | Apprentice: none | Crush: Olivefluff | Tags: Sunstar, Cedarstripe, Lightclan gathering patrol | Mentions: Dawnclan gathering patrol

Foxstrike followed Sunstar as she led their patrol to cross the tree bridge. He noted how his father, Cedarstripe, stayed close to her as silent support. Tonight would be tense, and Foxstrike could already feel the tension within his own clanmates. He allowed his thoughts to wander as he waited for Sunstar to cross. What would Dawnclan have to say? He hoped there was a simple explanation for everything that happened. Maybe Dawnclan didn't mean to kill Mousefang? Had Grassheart been taken by Twolegs like Sunstar was when she was an apprentice? Foxstrike wanted to believe there was an explanation for everything that didn't mean Dawnclan had murdered two of his clanmates.


Amberpaw | Female | 8 moons | Apprentice | Mentor: Flutterdrift | Crush: None | Tags: | Mentions:

Amberpaw was upset to be left behind from the gathering. She didn’t understand why she had to stay behind. She waited up in the clearing for a bit after the cats left for the gathering, then decided she was going to wait for them from her nest.

[Queen of flames]

Shadowfire | Dawn | warrior | male | apprentice: Skypaw | tags: open

He looked a little pissed off when the cats left for the gathering, but he was not involved in it. Though it didn't really surprise him either, he was not the most trusted cat to sit still and keep his mouth shut like someone like Thistledown could be. If those Lightclan cats come to his fur, he will go theirs. He is not going to bow to anyone, except for the Silverstar, but only if he thinks she is doing the right choice. He stood up and walked to the warrior's den, why could he stay there waiting when he could enjoy the silent and go to sleep?

Firejaw | Dawn | elder | male | tags: Beampaw

He lay near the elder's den, he was not really done anything today, except sleep, eat, and worried about the upcoming gathering. The tensions between the clans were higher than ever before now, in the worst case if the war does start or the Lightclan tries something, he can't do anything. Sighing he looked over to the nursery there, then around the clearing seeing all those young apprentices hanging around, even though they seemed worried. He turned to look over to the medicine cat apprentice, who he saw walking toward the elder's den, carrying a root, he remembered to be the Comfrey "Yes I am pretty much woke...I am doing what I am always doing...fine I guess" he meowed with a smile "If you can be fine during times like this..." he meowed silently. He looked at the root once more "Well my joints feel pretty good now, but thank you anyway" he meowed "Springpaw did come to change my beddings today so, I could have a great sleep this night..." he meowed with a smirk.

Featherstone | Dawn | Queen | female | tags: open

She sat near the nursery, letting the kits eat the mice which were bough to them to eat. She was not sure if could she be worried or not, but this gathering felt somewhat darker than any others before that. She was even more surprised that Silverstar took only three cats with her there, how could she know how many cats the Lightclan brings there? She looked over to the apprentices whose mentors left for the gathering, but they needed to stay behind, most of them didn't fully understand what was going on, actually, she didn't fully understand it either.

Batkit | Dawn| kit | female | tags: Zinniakit

She flicked her ears as she ate the mice, swallowing it she looked over to the camp entrance and those who were still up there. She didn't know why, but the tensions felt very heavy there "I don't get this, I thought gathering was a good meeting, but all of them feel so worried?" she meowed in voice, her eyes turned to look at Zinniakit, like waiting for an answer even if the other kit could likely know that either.

Fallenheart | Light | medicine cat | agender (he) | apprentice: Kestrelpaw | tags: Kestrelpaw

He sat near the herb storage den, he was shocked when the leader decided that neither of the medicine cats was not going to the gathering. He felt annoyed and worried, he hated the idea that the war may break at the gathering, the gathering which was a pretty holly place for the two clans to come together in peace, the place where the Starclan was watching, it was not a place to start wars, instead, it was the place to end them. He looked at the camp entrance, his amber eyes glowed at the darkness as he gave a small snarl "It's because Sunstar is being a fool" he responded to his apprentice in annoyance then sighed "I just hope he or Silverstar is not doing the mistake which will ruin our clans for decades" he meowed silently. His eyes left the camp entrance and looked up to the dark sky 'Please stop them if they're doing something foolish' he thought to himself.

Olivefluff | Light | warrior | male | crush: Foxstrike | tags: Gathering patrol

He was rather shocked, worried, and surprised that he was one of those who were going to that gathering, which was rumored to be the end of the peace. He didn't really understand why did Sunstar choose him to go there, he was not the most experienced warrior than many there could be. He was being gatherings before, but now he was extra worried, almost scared, maybe this will be his last walk, last night, maybe he will not come back to the camp, alive. A sigh escaped him as he looked to the other cats with him, starring over to Foxtrike there, feeling this sadness in his heart 'Maybe I don't have that much time to speak to him as I hoped to have?' he thought to himself, his eyes turning to the floor under his paws.

Pepperpaw | Light | apprentice | female | mentor: Cedarstripe | tags: Nectarpaw, open

She sat at the entrance of the apprentice's den, her mentor was invited to the gathering, but she was not allowed to go there. She didn't really what to think about that, she didn't really know what to feel about it either, she felt so many feelings at the moment. Her eyes looked over to her brother for a moment, who was walking around like he was thinking something, before he walked to her "...what? Are you lost your mind?" she hissed in a silent voice when the black tom told her about his great idea.

Nectarpaw | Light | apprentice | male | mentor: Whitewillow | tags: Pepperpaw, open

He walked around the clearing his eyes watching the camp annoyed, he did want to go to the gathering, but neither of the apprentices was not invited to it 'Stupid Dawnclan, ruin everything' he thought to himself. He hit some small rock in the air and watched it hit the ground when an idea come to his head. His eyes glowed as he turned to his sister there, walking so close that his face was almost touching hers "let's follow them, let's go to the gathering by ourselves" he meowed to her with a flick of his black tail. He shook his head after the hiss of his sister "Don't worry, as long we don't get caught by anyone, nobody can expect anything" he meowed.

Flameflurry/30 moons/Male/Gay/Apprentice: Sprigpaw/Mentions: Skypaw and Lightpaw /Tags: Gathering patrol

He nodded his head to Silverstar as he didn't want to cause trouble for his new clan. He and the brothers hadn't joined yet when Lightclan attacked but he heard the stories many times and he knew if there was a declaration of war, he'd protect the clan with his life.

Zinniakit/4 moons old/female/unknown/Mother: None/Mentions: None/Tags: Batkit

She finished her mouse and replied to Batkit. "Maybe it's about the attack that happened? She squeaked a nervously.

Skypaw/8 moons/Male/str8/Mentor: Shadowfire/Mentions: Flameflurry/Tags: Lightpaw

He was worried about the gathering and about Flameflurry. How many cats did Lightclan take with them?
What if both clans got into a battle? Would Flameflurry make it out alive? He hoped so. He could tell Lightpaw was worried too. Lightpaw surprised him by giving him some comforting words. He felt better after words and he rubbed his cheek on Lightpaw's, purring all the while.

Lightpaw/8 moons/Male/Bi/Mentor: Thistledown/Mentions:Flameflurry/Tags: Skypaw

He was just as worried as his brother was. He was worried the patrol wouldn't make it back, that Flameflurry wouldn't come back. Flameflurry was all they had of Kingdomclan, was like a father, brother, and mentor to them. It would darken their lives if Flamflurry died. But he HAD to believe they'd come back and he told Skaypaw so he'd stay strong too. He pretended to be annoyed by Skypaw's affection but he really did enjoy it.

Spirepaw
DawnClan | App | 10 M | Male | Mentor: Salmonsurge | Tags: Featherstone, Batkit and Zinniakit | Mentions: Salmonsurge

After being rejected from the gathering, Spirepaw had a silent tantrum. He was seething with rage in the inside, because he had several strong opinions he hoped to unleash at the fox-dung Lightclan cats. However, he was stuck at camp like some sort of overgrown kit. Speaking of kits, Salmonsurge forced him to babysit after the patrols. Hopefully they were asleep by now. Storming into the nursery, he saw Batkit and Zinniakit mewing about the gathering he couldn't go to. Spirepaw grumbled and asked Featherstone, "Salmonsurge told me to play with the kits tonight, can I teach them some hunting tricks outside or something?"

Flutterdrift
Lightclan | Warrior | 17 M | Female | App: Amberpaw | Tags: Open | Mentions: Gathering Patrol & Grassheart

While Flutterdrift followed her leader to the gathering, she thought about the violence last moon. She was very scared about Dawnclan attacking and just wanted everything to be peaceful. She thought about Mousefang's death and needed answers, but she didn't want to start blaming anyone just yet. Even though she would've liked to tell Dawnclan that Grassheart was missing, that could lead to aggressive accusations, so she thought lying would be the right choice. Everything about the war with Dawnclan suddenly sank in at the same time, and her tail fluffed up. She pretended this didn't happen, keeping a serene look on her face.

[Keesa]

Sunstar | Lightclan Leader | Moontree | tags: Cedarstripe/ Lightclan gathering patrol, Silverstar / Dawnclan gathering patrol

She felt a body press against her side and with it some of the tension in her eased. The stalwart presence of one of her oldest friends detracted somewhat from the terrible emptiness where Grassheart should have been. She walked onwards, not changing anything in her expression or letting her eyes stray from the path ahead, but she did let her dip to brush up against him in acknowledgment.
The walk through Dawnclan territory was eerie in the moonlight but thankfully uneventful. She half expected their party to be attacked but they made it to the clearing without trouble. The Dawnclan cats were already there, or at least some of them were… She counted only four cats including there leader and deputy and felt a cold drip of unease down her spine. So few cats, where was the rest of them? She gave Silverstar a courteous nod, keeping her expression closed but pleasant. In her mind she wondered if taking this many of her warriors had been a mistake. What if Dawn clan had taken only four cats to the gathering while the rest of them went after Lightclan camp? There was no time to think of such things now, camp had two of her best warriors and the apprentices where far from helpless despite there age. Still, the thought made her blood run cold, if they tried anything tonight there would be blood to pay, the very thing they had all payed enough of already. Sunstar padded up to the other side at the base of the tree and sat down. The leader of Dawnclan looked as strong and healthy as ever, the moonlight illuminating the silver in her fur so that it almost seemed to glow. “Hello Silverstar,” she meowed, to the other leader with an almost rueful half grin, “Would you like to start with pleasantries or shall we get right to the heart of things?”


Thistledown | Dawnclan Warrior | Moontree | tags: Gentianstep, Silverstar, Flameflurry, cats at the gathering

He was caught between pride that his leader trusted him to go with them to the gathering and an almost overwhelming apprehension that Light clan might try something. Still, Silverstar and Gentianstep trusted him and Flameflurry to protect them and keep the peace. Even if he couldn’t trust himself he would trust in their judgement. The tuxedo warrior looked ahead, trying and failing not to let all the worst case scenarios play out in his head like macabre recording caught on repeat. He couldn’t imagine loosing either the leader or deputy, or well, more like he could imagine it and that was the whole problem. He felt Gentianstep’s eyes on him, and as he met that steady blue gaze it seemed to draw him from the place his mind had trapped him in and back to reality. The world always seemed quieter when Gentianstep was looking at him, like the loud constant keening of his emotions had become muffled somehow, replaced by another emotion he didn’t quiet recognize. By the time Thistledown had collected himself enough to try and give him a smile or a nod of recognition Gentianstep was already looking away and the spell was broken. Still, he felt better and was able to nod to Silverstar after her address to the small group. Not antagonizing other cats was one of the few things he could do, though he wasn’t sure what he would say if any of the light clan warriors tried to talk to him. Well, he could cross that bridge when he came to it. As they entered the clearing he found a spot and sat, unable to keep his tail from lashing back and forth nervously.
