Swirlpaw realized he didn't know where to go. "Mousebrain!" He muttered softly. (What are some hunting grounds? The post doesn't mention any hunting grounds, battle grounds, etc.)

Swirlpaw sneaked out of camp, his pelt rippling with excitement. He had come up with the idea to go on a solitary hunt and catch some prey for his clan. ( Currently, it is night and cats had dreams with visions to meet at a waterfall area between the two clans. He should be heading here instead, where the cats are meeting.)

(Oh, okay. I need to pay pay more attention, then.) Swirlpaw remembered that there was a meeting, and he was embarrassed. He sprinted towards the meeting at high speeds. By the time he got there, he was winded and exhausted.

Blackember glanced over as an apprentice tore through the edge of the clearing. His whiskers twitched as he scented the air. The young tom was breathless, sides heaving. "Foxes on your tail?" The warrior questioned him.

"No, I forgot about the meeting," Swirlpaw huffed. Swirlpaw sat down abruptly, and yawned.

( I would be honored <3 )
The older tom's ear twitched and he gave a little chuckle, "Good thing you made it... You don't want to be on StarClan's bad side!" He twitched his tail tip to beckon the other closer. "I'm Blackember of RuneClan, who are you?"

"I am Swirlpaw of Runeclan. It is a pleasure to meet you." Swirlpaw replied politely.

(Everyone is supposed to be at the waterfall except Holly and a few others.
When Holly arrives(i'm doing this to ensure we move forward, people who don't respond by the time I do this are going to have their characters there, or said to be there because we will/would be moving forward by that point.
Also adding, cats don't know about their abilities yet, by the way.)

(Ah, sweet, I was just working out whether or not Swift could reply.)
There had suddenly been an influx of cats, some he recognised, others, not so much. He listened with keen interest as the cats introduced themselves, though hid it under disinterest. "I'm Swiftstorm, but I'm sure you already know me," he muttered, "though the others won't."

(At least the people who currently RP a tom are pretty active, that's really cool actually. Thanks guys.)
Echopaw waved her tail, any cat of Nixclan would know she was mute, Soulstar specifically mentioned it that day and called of her initiation as a medicine cat apprentice, but also added that she was proud of Echopaw's bravery against the foxes. She couldn't speak, she loved socializing, but no one would understand her. Sighing, she looked down away from the other cats. Maybe it was just some dream.

Swirlpaw's eyelids drooped. He was tired, especially after the hurry to the waterfall. Swirlpaw shook his head and focused on the meeting.

Swiftstorm turned his attention to Echopaw, watching her carefully for a moment before meowing, "Do you want to me to introduce you?"

RuneClan
Cherrypaw watched wide-eyed at all of the commotion, names being listed and Clans being addressed. There were so many cats from NixClan, the she-cat couldn't believe her eyes. They all seemed friendly-enough and there was hardly any hostility to be seen -- a stark contrast to the way the elders always seemed to describe the rivalry. "I'm Cherrypaw," she mewed, "The medicine cat apprentice of RuneClan..." Her voice was soft, almost carried away by the wind. Still young, her timid nature was getting the best of her.
NixClan
Blackember's gaze flicked around as he listened to every cat speak, eventually settling on Echopaw. His expression twitched into one of sympathy for a moment, the image of their leader denouncing her title and forcing her to become a warrior apprentice because of her muteness. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to be unable to talk. But he tried to pull himself together figuring she must get a lot of sympathetic glances and didn't appreciate it. He knew in her paws, he would prefer to be treated normally. His eyes were drawn to the pregnant queen, her belly almost bursting with kits. His expression changed to one of shock and he couldn't stop himself from blurting, "What are you doing here?"

Swirlpaw did not like the way he was around so many cats. He moved farther from the big group. He settled in the shadows, feeling safer. (It's taking longer to type now that my dog is on my lap.)

Echopaw smiled gratefully at Swiftstorm. She nodded vigorously, her one blue eyes and one green eyes anxious, but filled with a small amount of comfort. She still looked down, she didn't want to be here. She didn't want to be judged. Yet when she heard Blackember boom at the pregnant queen, she blinked. She didn't know why in the history of Nixclan's existence, that Starclan would sense a pregnant queen on some prophecy. She completely agreed with his reaction, as if she had words she would be the exact same.

Looking up at the familiar face of a clanmate, the queen twitched her ears as a show of discomfort at being found outside of camp when she'd been told to remain in camp until the birth of her kits. Swishing her feathered tail, the queen shrugged her shoulders, glancing around the group of gathered cats; most of whom wouldn't be that much older than her own kits once they entered the world. "I could ask you the same thing," she answered with a surprisingly cool tone considering she still panted from the journey here. She shifted her great weight from one side to the other in an attempt to sit more comfortably. "Why are any of you here?" She asked, in spite of the fact she didn't know the answer to that herself.

"Fine Fine," he muttered, looking up in surprise as he heard Blackember's proclamation. He couldn't find it in himself to be surprised though, after all, they already had a mute and a cat with a missing less, what difference did it make to have another hindrance. He waited for a few second before momentarily diverting everyone's attention. "This is Echopaw, she can't talk, so don't be expecting much noise from her."

(Shoot, hey Jas, I forgot to mention this but while I'm allowing apprentices, I want them to be 8+ moons. Hollypaw is the youngest cat on the journey(there is a very dark reason for this). However, despite her being young, i'd still like cats 8 or older moons old. I don't mind if she's 8 moons. Actually, I'd love that. She is Runeclan like Hollypaw, and if you would like, they could be like sisters(however, Hollypaw was abandoned), but it's still a sweet sentiment. If you even wanted, Cherrypaw could be her real sister, and both of them could have been born in Nixclan but abandoned in Runeclan. Sorry I didn't note this before.)

NixClan The black-furred tom was taken aback by her tone and realized he didn't really have an answer to his own question either. Why are we here? Still, there was concern etched into his face and he merely dipped his head to the queen in response. "I suppose you're right," he conceded, rolling his shoulders to try and get the tension out of his body. Blackember didn't want to upset the she-cat so he simply let the conversation lull for a moment until Swiftstorm spoke.
- - -
RuneClan Can't talk? Cherrypaw blinked in surprise, craning her neck to try and catch a glimpse of the cat that supposedly couldn't speak. The apprentice was merely staring at the ground though and Cherrypaw couldn't help herself from feeling somewhat disappointed. She had never met a cat that couldn't use their tongue. What happened to Echopaw?

( No worries ^^ That's fine with me. It would be so cute if they ended up being like sisters! I would love that. She can be 8 moons, I don't mind. c: )

Looking back to Swiftstorm, flicking her ears at his statement; she'd never heard of a mute cat before but she didn't allow the pity to show on her expression. Instead it lead her to wonder what in the name of starclan had lead such a ragtag group of cats to this one spot at the same time. There were far too many of them for it to have been considered a mere coincidence, but she couldn't understand what else it might have been.

(Thanks!)
(The sad thing is, Echopaw(I keep saying she was going to, in reality she was) the medicine cat apprentice of Nixclan, so this would be so awkward for her, saying she's been so for a while. She's no healer in power, but has knowledge for minor things that they don't want Cherrypaw to end up risking or wasting energy on.
Also, she knows stuff to keep their strength up, so that's helpful.
Plus, Echopaw plays a kind of important role, yes, both my cats are a little crucial, so are the fliers and a lot of the cats. Echo has dream manipulation as mentioned, and Holly is crucial for other reasons. No, the plot won't focus on either of them, it features on these cats. Wanted to clear that up early on.)

Echopaw glared at her Clanmate, he made her sound useless, well, maybe she was being a bit over dramatic. It still offended her. She lashed her tail in annoyance. But froze, her ears flattening slightly. A feeling hung in the air, an expectation, there was nothing there, but it seemed to hit everyone(yes some parts will be like this, senses everyone gets). An anticipation, perhaps? It was a obvious change in the air, something unknown and foreign perhaps.

Swiftstorm stared upwards to silverpelt, a breeze ruffling his fur, immune to Echopaw's silent protest at his words. Why was he here? Of course he knew why, but what was his purpose? The thought unsettled him, there was something big on the horizon, he could feel it.

( Echopaw could have had more training than her at this point as well. So maybe Cherrypaw just doesn't know enough of the basics so she needs to learn from Echopaw. )
