~ [smear:#ffffff]Welcome to the Gathering Page![/smear: #696969]This page is part of a three-clan roleplay known as Brave Hearts. In Brave Hearts, the storyline varies from prophecy to prophecy. Only clan creators and those with Starclan cats (as well as the owner of the main cat in the prophecy) actually know what the prophecy means, as they decide it over pm, and then have to share it in a dream with the clans' medicine cat(s).
The three clans of Brave Hearts are Emberclan, who live in a swamp, Asterclan, who live in the forest, and Dawnclan, who live in a moor with rivers. Emberclan is the newest of the three, while the other two have been roaming their territories for many seasons. Many conflicts will arise as the generations rise and fall, until the clans fall into obscurity.
~ [smear:#ffffff]Location (and other notes)[/smear: #696969] Ancient Oaks A large clearing Just north of Asterclan's border where there are two large oaks that have intertwined together, affectionately known as the "lovers oaks" because the two oaks are so old, the branches have come together almost as if they where cats tails entwined together.
Gathering dates Gatherings are the 11th of every month. Medicine Cat gatherings are the 15th and 30th of every month.

Thymepaw followed the medicine cats to the gathering area. Her nervousness had increased and she gave off a fearful whine as she stepped there. She looked at one of her mentors, Sageheart of Asterclan, seeing what she should do next.

Hollysong padded into star tunnels, leading the way with the other medicine cats. She wondered what they would speak of tonight. She settled down beside the stone and watched the others before touching her nose to the cold stone, the moon inching into the sky as sleep washed over her.

Sageheart followed the usual routine and was soon whisked off into the dreamland where Starclan spoke. It had always felt different from normal dreaming. A bit more real like, but also fuzzy. He glanced around, wondering about who he'd meet.
(so is there something that's going to happen or do we make something unimportant up? Does Thymepaw get presented? If so, I can modify my post .-.)

[I'd do something with Silverfeather (my Starclan cat) but I literally have to go to bed in 3 minutes, and I don't want to freeze anyone.]

(Yeah I think so, sense she has never been to the meetings between the medicine cats and Starclan, I think she has to be presented to them to officially become a medicine cat apprentice, that's why she is nervous after all.)

(I think Feathers has a starclan cat that's going to come to one of them and I'm not sure with Thymepaw. I think the she-cats just meets starclan and talks to them about the importance of a medicine cat or something)
Hollysong woke to find herself in a grassy clearing surrounded by trees. She sat, tail wrapped around her paws and waited, knowing one of her starry ancestors would come to her. It was still new to her, arriving without her mentor and being a full medicine cat.

(Alright. Modified 1st post then) Sageheart: “Thympepaw, is it your wish to enter the mysteries of StarClan as a Medicine Cat?” Thymepaw: “It is.” Sageheart: “Then come forward.” Sageheart: “Warriors of StarClan, I present you with this Apprentice. She has chosen the path of a Medicine Cat. Grant her your wisdom and insight so that she may understand your ways and heal her Clan in accordance with your will.”
Sageheart then motioned to do as he did and placed his nose against the stone. He was soon whisked off into the dreamland where Starclan spoke. It had always felt different from normal dreaming. A bit more real like, but also fuzzy. He glanced around, wondering about who he'd meet.

"Hello, Sageheart." Her soft voice greeted. A white she-cat padded into his view, stars swirling around her black paws and white toes. Stars flowed from her deep green eyes and she sat down in front of him. Snowpaw began speaking again, "Something troubles you, perhaps it has to deal with Foxtail?"

Thymepaw breathed nervously, and watched Sageheart doze to sleep, she nodded and pressed her nose against the stone. Sleep fell over her and she awoke in her dreams, standing still in what seemed to be Starclan.

"Thymepaw, there's no need to be so nervous." The young voice came from a small tom-cat. His ivory fur was broken by black aborted tabby marking and stars followed his paws and his gaze. Kitekit looked on at the larger cat. Though his body was of five moons, he'd been in starclan for decades, he was more of 52 moons. "Welcome to Starclan as a full medicine cat apprentice. How does it feel?" He asked, a glint in his starry eyes.

Thymepaw smiled, and dipped her head in appreciation. " I was afraid I would not be accepted as a medicine cat apprentice." she commented. She began walking around, wondering if she looked starry too, and looked at Kitekit, "Where is my mentor?" she asked gently. a

"It is normal to feel that way, though there's never any need to worry." Kitekit commented on Thymepaw's statement. "Your mentor is with another cat, they need to talk. Tell me, why do you worry so much about being accepted?" He asked.

"I just don't think I could be a warrior, and I really feel like this is what I am meant to be." Thymepaw said, her eyes looking at Kitekit. "I was so nervous because I started as a warrior apprentice and then became a medicine cat apprentice, and I just let myself worry about every possibility, like Starclan disowning me, telling me I would never be a true member of Asterclan...", she admitted.

"Never doubt what you are. So many warriors and warrior apprentices have changed to become medicine cats, whether by choice or not. Starclan would never abandon a cat who believes or needs them. We help when we can and help guide where it is needed. Ever since you first came into existence you became a true member of Asterclan. The medicine cat cared for you with cation, your mother loved you. The Warriors tested you with care and the apprentices played with you. You became a warrior apprentice and your clan supported you. You chose a different path and you were still supported. You are never alone, you're always part of a clan that loves you." Kitekit was careful to make sure he didn't say anything that would put pressure on her, he didn't want her to stress about being what every other cat expects her to be. Whether it be that she would be great and she was pressured to do good or they expected her to be bad and she had to prove herself, he didn't want those trivial things to cloud her mind.

"Thank you Kitekit," she bowed her head and looked around in her dream. "So what does a medicine cat apprentice do?" she asked with curiosity in her voice, looking at Kitekit.

"That is for your own mentor to teach you, but you're set up for a great road." Kitekit mewed simply. He wrapped his tail around his paw and watched her evenly. "Is there anything on your mind?" He asked, noticing her frequent glances around where they were talking.

"Just how amazing and magnificent this place is!" Thymepaw said with a large smile, looking at the magnificent starry place. She looked at Kitekit and smiled even more, she was now so much happier then before, and excitement to begin her real training shivered in her body.

(Do you want me to make up a Starclan cat for you Shinx?) Sageheart shrugged. "Although Foxtail putting off receiving her nine lives is troubling, it hasn't been too long. It's understandable that she's hesitant."

(If you want to that'd be great, but I don't really mind either way)
"A short time does become a longer time, you know. She may not be ready now, but you must speak to her. Her clan needs her to be their leader, not their deputy." Snowpaw mewed, sternness lacing into her voice. Many leaders don't go to the moonstone right away, but in the days they wait, anything could happen. A badger could attack Asterclan and leave the clan without a leader not a deputy to lead the clan. The lack of concern that Sageheart had for this situation was unsettling, it was his job as a medicine cat to help his leader.

"I know." Sageheart's wrapped his tail around his paws. It wasn't that the matter was unimportant and he wasn't concerned. But he didn't want to pressure Foxtail. If she took up the leader name without being fully prepared for it, it could do more harm than good.
Bluewind glanced around. It was his first time greeting any cat from the living and it appeared he'd gotten lost...he scented the air. Wherever the air and scents were coming from was always the way to the gateway. He padded along carefully until he finally spotted his target. He trotted over. "Ahem...sorry about being late." His whiskers twitched. "-Insert old mentor- got held up and so I was sent instead last minute. It's uh...nice to meet you. I'm Bluewind." He racked his brain trying to remember what he was told. "So, Hollysong," right? Hollysong? "Does it feel any different being here with your new position?"

Hollysong was surprised to see a cat she didn't know. In the few times she'd been here after Honeydawn's death, she'd always been greeted by her old mentor. What could've been so important? Despite the hurt it left in her chest, she knew it was probably something she shouldn't pry into. "It's good to meet you, Bluewind. It's fine, I had not mind waiting. Though I've been here a number of times as a full medicine cat, it still leaves me with an empty feeling when I arrive with an without Honeydawn. Yet, I suppose it's the way things must be, starclan has its ways." She let out a soft sigh. "As for being a full medicine cat, the exhilaration of it hasn't left me yet." Hollysong explained to the starry warrior. -- Snowpaw sighed, there was no point in pushing it. In time Foxtail would receive her nine lives. "What are your thoughts on Thymepaw?" She decided to change the subkect, not wanting the conversation to take on an air of unease and tension. After all, she hadn't been sent to talk to many cats, she was still semi-new to being a messenger for Starclan, despite her age. Thymepaw seemed to have potential, but the young cat needed a confidence boost.

"Just how amazing and magnificent this place is!" Thymepaw said with a large smile, looking at the magnificent starry place. She looked at Kitekit and smiled even more, she was now so much happier then before, and excitement to begin her real training shivered in her body. "Would you like to walk?" Kitekit invited. He didn't think anycat would get mad if it was a short walk, he'd just need to steer clear of the other living medicine cats.

Bluewind nodded. "It's all good really, though. I'm sure Honeydawn would have come if she could. I'm not sure it leaves entirely. A medicine cat's job is pretty important after all." He knew he never quite lost the feeling when he was made a warrior.
Sageheart shrugged. "I think she'll be alright. She's got a bit of catching up to do thanks to her late start, but that's not much of a problem. She's got two medicine cats to teach her after all."

"I know she would have. And yes, I don't think this feeling will ever leave." Hollysong agreed. (Sorry it's short, idk what to post) -- "Yes, two medicine cats will get her more experience and she'll have a wider outlook on life." Snowpaw mewed, agreeing not with Sageheart. "What are you thinking of teaching Thymepaw first?" She asked curiously. It was better if the mentors had a plan for what they were going to teach.

(Should we just skip and end the thing?)
Sageheart shrugged. "I'm not sure. She started with Appleblossom so I don't know what she knows just yet..." He figured that he should, but it did just start.

(Yeah, it's the end of the night according to rp rules [one rl day for daytime and one for nightyime])
Hollysong blinked open her eyes, her body stiff and cold from laying there all night. It always felt shorter then the time it actually took. She got to her paws and stretched, warming her body so the stiffness would leave.

(Alright then)
Sageheart yawned and stretched out. He ruled over into his paws, bumping into whoever was next to him. He sin off his pelt. "I guess it's time to head back."

Hollysong flicked Sageheart's muzzle with her tail-tip; it must have slipped the older medicine cat's mind that they weren't suppose to talk in the Star Tunnels until they exited and they normally weren't suppose to talk of their dreams exceptions only to their leaders.

Sageheart made a bit of a show of sneezing before heading out. His paws felt heavy as usual after waking up from dreaming. The walk back would warm him up, though.
(skip back to camp? Unless something else should happen)
