ThunderClan-
"You don't have to be their best friend." Owlfrost said as he looked for the crowd for someone to chat to, "Just make casual conversation without upsetting anyone. Look, there's some SkyClan warriors over there." He added, nodding towards the warriors that had just arrived.
"No kidding, but I think the warriors have got us outnumbered a bit." Sootpaw said, looking at all of the cats that had gathered. He shivered in anticipation, excited for his first gathering. "Is it your first gathering too?" He asked, looking over at Marshpaw.
SkyClan-
Firepaw sat at the edge of the crowd with Sunpaw sitting beside him. Sunpaw had decided to stick close to her brother, knowing that he would most likely stick to himself rather than mingle with the other clans. (Tigerpaw can go talk to them if you want, Fox lol)
Hawkpaw slowly made her way through the gathering, wishing Emberpaw had been able to come to the gathering as well. She had been surprised to hear her own name called, assuming that she would have to stay back at camp as well after the stunt they had pulled. Hawkpaw stepped around a couple of cats chatting with each other and stumbled over a root she hadn't seen, bumping into something solid. "S-sorry!" she squeaked looking up at Goldberry.
(I've also got Blackfire, Whisperstone, Frostlight and Mudwasp open for any interactions.)
ShadowClan-
(I've got Stormcloud, Vixenflame and Shademoon open for interactions)
RiverClan-
"A couple of voles and a fish. Not the best hunting trip, but it's better than nothing." Arcticpaw said with a shrug. She gave him a smile, "I'm glad you didn't get into too much trouble though. But you might want to be careful getting to close to the gorge, you could fall in with a single misplaced pawstep."
"They're great. Blackmask, Minkstep and Pebblesplash have grown into strong warriors. Pebblesplash is over there talking to Bluewhisker and Palegaze, and I think I saw Blackmask disappear into the crowd a little bit ago." Shininglight said with a purr, but felt a pang of sadness as she thought of her other kit in ThunderClan, "And Lynxstripe... how is she?" She asked a bit more quietly, looking over at Redtooth.
(Got Blackmask, Applebreeze and Airpaw open.)
WindClan-
(Got Whispersong and Crowfrost open.)

Stormsplash had a sharp intake of breath, shaking his head quickly. “Rainfeather and I, our relationship was… quick. But it was genuine. And I will never regret being your father.” He mewed fiercely. “I wouldn’t be a father without your mother and for that alone I will always be indebted to her.” Larkpaw moved closer to Rustlepaw as another group of apprentices moved behind her. “I hope the leaders start soon. I’m eager to hear what every clan has to say.” I think you missed this Blazer :3 ) |

SkyClan & ShadowClan
"Well then good luck to you three as well, if I miss you before then," Warblerpaw replied. Fuzzypaw wrinkled her nose a little, leaning into Spottedpaw. "I didn't realize they knew him so well!" she whispered. An idea was forming in her head, but she felt a little silly about it. "Do you think I could jump as high as him onto a tree? I don't see our mentors around anywhere..." Spottedpaw shook his head almost frantically, "No! We don't want to get in trouble here Fuzzypaw. It's not worth it, even if Warblerpaw is a little full of himself. We don't want warriors from other clans, or worse Cloudscar or Cedarstar scolding us in front of everyone. That would be so embarrassing." |

Palepaw gave Duskpaw a soft glance, but kept a rivaled look on Warblerpaw. Beanpaw nodded in agreement with her. "There's so many cats," he breathed. He followed her gaze to the Great Rock. "Is that brown tom your leader, Lightstar?" Spiderbite huffed. "I tried to find the others, but it's so crowded I couldn't squeeze my way to the Great Rock to find them. You're more respected, though. So, maybe if you led the way, the birdbrained warriors will let us through." He turned, ready to follow Eclipsesky to the Great Rock. "Oh, I can tell you about Briarpatch on the way. Thank StarClan otherwise, but I thought I was going to have more dead clanmates on my paws." Duskpaw nudged Palepaw good-naturedly, "Did you say hi to any other cats? Or have you just been lurking around?" Stumppaw shook her head, "No I think that's Cedarstar, the Shadowclan leader. Lightningstar is the gold one. Your leader is Swiftstar right? The other brown tom?" Eclipsesky sighed but got to his paws, he didn't have the energy to explain everything to Spiderbite now so he may as well just help him find the others. He dipped his head to the warriors around them as he weaved them over to the spot the medicine cats usually settled. "What's this about Briarpatch? She's expecting kits right? Did something happen?" he asked, genuine concern creeping into his tone. |

ShadowClan & SkyClan
"Ugh, you're right," Fuzzypaw whined. She could get ahead of herself, but as long as Spottedpaw was around, he tended to reel her back in. "I still think I'd surprise him," she pouted.
Warblerpaw glanced to where Fuzzypaw and Spottedpaw were whispering to each other, a half-smile on his face. He could spend some time joking with them, but he felt like the meeting may be starting soon, so he refrained, tuning in to Duskpaw, Whorlpaw, and Palepaw once more.
WindClan & ThunderClan
Palegaze noticed Eclipsesky leading Spiderbite toward the gathered medicine cats and held his breath for a moment, worrying for how this would affect his cousin.

WindclanBlacktail nodded. "He's a brand new apprentice. Possibly the youngest cat present at the gathering today. Time happened to line up with his ceremony, I suppose." The elder admitted, hoping the other cats would be kind to the young tom. This could be incredibly overwhelming, even for a full grown Warrior. "Must be quite an experience for him. Barely old enough to leave camp and already at a gathering," Slatefur purred with amusement. Smokestream tilted her head to catch a better look at the apprentice through the swarm. With all the commotion, despite her attitude, she couldn't help the slight concern she felt at seeing him without a warrior nearby for his first Gathering. "Who was chosen to mentor him?" Windclan "His mentor is here." Blacktail nodded towards where Palegaze was speaking with some other Warriors. The elder mused. "He's well suited for it. Palegaze will be good to bring out the best in Beanpaw." He mewed, sure and calm. |

(Got Blackmask, Applebreeze and Airpaw open.) WindClan-(Got Whispersong and Crowfrost open.) Mothsong followed after Owlfrost with a light breath, sighing out softly as she steeled herself. After all, they had been going on patrols with Skyclan recently, as much as going to Twolegplace tore her heart up. She hated it, and hated that she felt like her father's shadow was hiding behind every corner, even in death. But... Skyclan hadn't been bad. In fact, they were better than she had once thought, and she felt a twinge of guilt that she thought so harshly of them before. SHADOWCLANGoldberry jumped a bit as he felt something bump into him. He turned quickly, eyes widening as he saw Hawkpaw. He swallowed, able to scent Skyclan scent from her, and he felt himself speak with quick franticness. "Oh, it's alright! Cats bump into eachother here all the time, I... I am sorry, you didn't get hurt, right?" He asked, scared that the apprentice could somehow be hurt just by bumping into him. He quickly recognized exactly which apprentice this was, and his blood ran cold with anxiety. Coalhaze stuck close to Vixenflame, mewing happily. "My first gathering as a Warrior! I hope Cedarstar announces it tonight!" He mewed excitedly. |

He had wanted so badly to believe it, for all these moons. Hearing that it had meant something, even if only for a short moment, meant that maybe he wasn't a mistake, some punishment for breaching the code. He missed his mother so much, but knowing that she had been able to love again before she died, it meant alot to him. He looked up at Stormsplash, voice coming in a quiet croak. "I wish I could be your son right now, instead of having to hide it. I wish it was okay... and my mother had to have loved you alot. To name me after you..." Rustlepaw nodded in agreement. "I do too. I'm surprised that Riverclan's deputy is speaking tonight. None of the Riverclan cats smell ill... surely Earthstar isn't sick, right?" She wondered curiously. She hummed. "I'd ask you to tell me what they look like, but I don't know what colors look like." She admitted with a hint of humor. "Sizes, and smells. Voices too. Those, I can understand better." |

He shivered in anticipation, excited for his first gathering. "Is it your first gathering too?" He asked, looking over at Marshpaw. "My second!" Marshpaw kneaded the ground happily. "I came right when I was first apprenticed. It's been a few moons since then. Did you just start your training?" |

Did something happen?" he asked, genuine concern creeping into his tone. Palepaw easily shrugged. "I've just been lurking. Keeping an eye on those ThunderClan apprentices we argued with last time." Beanpaw looked at each of the different cats on the Great Rock. Lightningstar, Cedarstar, Diamondheart, Swiftstar. "Yeah, that's Swiftstar. He's the fast cat I know." He glanced at Stumppaw. "Who's that silver she-cat up there?" Spiderbite followed after the older tom. "Yeah, something happened. She kitted early and right on the cliffs too! I was afraid something was going to go wrong since she's not supposed to be due for another moon. Thankfully, she's okay and the kits are are okay. They're a little small and underdeveloped, but they're alive. That's all that matters in my mind." He shook his head and annoyance crept in his tone. "But, you know how cats are. They're gonna think poorly of themselves for being so small or missing a leg like they're somehow the first cats to ever be so small or missing a leg. I'll knock some sense into them if I have too. Maybe they'll be the outliers and get over their handicaps right away." He flicked his tail. "I doubt it, though." |

She was glad to see Diamondheart showing confidence in the absence of their leader. "Chatty bunch tonight," Slatefur murmured. "It'll be dawn before we even get started at this rate." |

SkyClan
Hawkpaw shook her head, flicking her ear in embarrassment, "N-no, no, I'm fine. It was my fault, I wasn't watching where I was walking." She mewed, looking up at him again and blinking. "You're from ShadowClan right? I think I remember seeing you at the last gathering." Hawkpaw said, tilting her head as she tried to recall his name.
Whisperstone sat by himself, searching the crowd frantically for Echowing. He had lost sight of her after they had reached the gathering and wanted to keep an eye on his sister. He still had concerns about the plan that she had revealed to him just before the gathering and had planned on trying to convince to at least hold off for another moon and think this through before she went through with it.
SkyClan & ThunderClan
"Owlfrost, Mothsong. I see you two are well. I hope ThunderClan has fared well this moon." Blackfire greeted when she saw the two ThunderClan warriors approaching.
"It's good to see you again, Blackfire. ThunderClan has been well, and I hope the same for SkyClan." Owlfrost responded to the black and ginger she-cat. He sat down as he spoke and motioned for Mothsong to join them.
ThunderClan
"I was apprenticed after the last gathering, so I've only been an apprentice for about a moon now." Sootpaw mewed, giving a light shrug, "I suppose that would count me as a fairly new apprentice."

WINDCLAN:
“It’s taking longer than usual.” Blacktail admitted, before he chuckled lightly. “Perhaps with this many cats, the leaders want to let them all mingle. After all, we’re all recovering from the Great Fire.”
SHADOWCLAN:
Goldberry stiffened, voice coming out soft and a bit hesitant as he swallowed. “Y… yes. I am from Shadowclan. I remember seeing you too… Whitesun is your father, isn’t he?” His heart nearly broke looking at her. Did she know who he was? What he had been forced to do to her own kin? He felt a desire to flee, body stiff as stone.
SKYCLAN:
Echowing watched the cats around her from the corner of the Fourtrees. Her eyes finally met Whisperstone’s, who she had trusted enough to tell of her intentions. Surely he suffered the same pain she did, the same pain Dreamlily refused to accept for herself. She lifted her chin, her resolve steady as she looked at her brother.
THUNDERCLAN:
Mothsong slowly seated herself, eyes lifting to Blackfire as she cleared her throat. “It… is good to speak with you, Blackfire. Uh… How are things? In Skyclan, that is.” She tried, glancing at Owlfrost as if asking for his opinion on her attempt.

SkyClan
"Yes! Mama always says that my eyes look like his." Hawkpaw mewed, nodding her head and giving him a smile. "I'm Hawkpaw. What's your name?"
Whitesun started making his way over to the other deputies, his eyes glancing over at Goldberry again despite his best efforts to ignore the ShadowClan warrior. The SkyClan deputy froze in his tracks, his heart almost stopping at the sight of his sister's killer talking to Hawkpaw. Whitesun quickly turned on his paws and weaved through the crowd towards his daughter and Goldberry, trying to force his shoulder fur to lay flat. "Hawkpaw! What are you doing over here by yourself? Why don't you go talk to some of the apprentices from the other clans instead." He snapped out once he was close enough, shooting a glare at Goldberry.
Hawkpaw flinched at her father's sudden sharp voice and looked over at Whitesun as he made his over to them, flicking her ear in surprise to see him so upset.
ThunderClan & SkyClan
Owlfrost gave Mothsong an encouraging nod and a miniscule smile. It's not much, but it's a start. He thought to himself, looking back at Blackfire as she answered Mothsong's question.
"Things are going very well in SkyClan." Blackfire mewed, flicking her ear as she noticed the look between the two. She had been on the same patrol with Owlfrost once before on one of the joint hunting patrols, but had yet to go on one with Mothsong, "It's been awhile since we've last spoke, Mothsong. I'm glad that you are doing well."

SHADOWCLAN:
Goldberry bristled lightly as Whitesun stormed up to them. He stepped back with a flicker of pleading in his eyes, before he swallowed and mewed lightly. “He’s right… There’s many apprentices to see, ones you won’t bump into as easily.” He tried to shoo her away to ease the tension, before he gave Whitesun a guarded yet submissive look. “Whitesun…” He dipped his head lightly in greeting.
THUNDERCLAN:
Mothsong’s paws twitched, her words slow to come to her jaws, before she grunted out as casually as she could muster. “Yes… well. I’m doing well…” She half lied, before quickly tapping her paw and mewing. “There’s more cats than I expected tonight…” She was grateful for Owlfrost’s presence.

Spottedpaw laughed, nodding to Fuzzypaw. "I bet you would. I'm sure you'll get to show him someday but maybe not now. You and I can practice some more together and then you'll be amazing by the time you get to show him."
Stormsplash sighed, eyes weary as he looked at the cats around them. "I wish for that too. I'm so proud of you and your sisters, of the cats you've become. But, I will never be able to brag about you to my clanmates the way Tinypool can about Sproutpaw. I will never know what it's like to share prey with you after a successful hunting patrol or hear about your training sessions with your apprentice. And for that, I'm sorry Splashstone. Truly, I am sorry. I wish things could be different but I don't want to jeopardize your safety and future."
Larkpaw looked up at Diamondheart, appraising the deputy. "Yeah Riverclan seems to be doing well, so I don't know where he could be! I hope he's at the next gathering though, I haven't seen him before. Do you think you'll get to come to the next gathering too Rustlepaw? It would be nice to see.. um I mean talk with you again."
Duskpaw whirled around at the mention of the THunderclan apprentices, "Scarletpaw! Is she here? She better keep her mouth shut this time." she huffed, eyeing Warblerpaw. "You're not friends with Scarletpaw are you?"
Stumppaw studied Spiritstar for a moment, humming under her breath as she tried to remember the leader's name. "She's the Skyclan leader, uh... um Spiritstar I think? I think my dad told me she used to be a medicine cat!"
Eclipsesky turned to look at Spiderbite in surprise, "By the cliffs, Starclan what was she doing out there? I'm glad you handled it well though and all the kits are alive and healthy. Briarpatch is as well I assume? You should be proud of yourself Spiderbite." he replied softly. Sorrow filled his chest as he took in the young medicine cat, he saw so much of his old self in Spiderbite, where had he gone wrong? He hoped he could slip back into the crowd before Swiftstar's announcement. He wasn't sure he could bear to watch Spiderbite's disappointment.

WINDCLAN:
“…I don’t think I have much of a future.” Splashstone mewed quietly, eyes drooping again as he shook his head lightly. “I don’t see anything. Everyone else can put faith in Starclan, I can’t hear them at all, I can’t hear anybody.” He tried not to let his vulnerability show, breath hitching. “Maybe… maybe I don’t belong in the Clans at all.”
SHADOWCLAN:
Rustlepaw gave a loud laugh at that, before she purred. “You can say see. I think it’s funny! And I sure hope I can come to the next one. I like you both alot.”
“You’re really cool too!” Juniperpaw flustered, admiring the Shadowclan apprentice for her easy to approach personality and sense of humor. She liked their little group here, too afraid to join the big group of apprentices.

SkyClan
Hawkpaw looked between Whitesun and Goldberry, surprised by the sudden tension between the two. "O-okay..." She mewed, backing away a bit before turning and disappearing into the crowd, head and tail down as she left. She couldn't figure out what she had done that had upset her father like this, but she didn't want to stick around to get yelled at even more.
Whitesun watched as his daughter leave, only relaxing by a hair once she was out of sight. He looked at the ShadowClan warrior, a sharp glare in his yellow eyes. "Goldberry." He said with a barely contained growl, the tip of his tail flicking in irritation, "I trust that I don't need to warn to you that it's best that you stay away from any of my kin."
ThunderClan & SkyClan
"It does seem that way, doesn't it?" Blackfire mewed, looking around the clearing. She had never been a big of fan of big crowds, and was glad they were on the edge of the gathering rather then in the middle. "I just hope no one steps on my tail this time around."
"Perhaps its a way to show that the Clans are thriving after the fire." Owlfrost suggested, curling his tail over his paws once he had gotten comfortable.

Lightningstar stepped forward once all of the leaders had arrived. It was almost moon high. “I suppose we should get this gathering started.” He spoke, looking at the other leaders so see if there was any protest.
Redtooth nodded slightly. “She’s great. She’s grown into a fine young warrior.” He sighed softly.
Tigerpaw nodded to his mentor before slowly moving to go talk to Firepaw of Skyclan. Perhaps they would want to talk with him.
Pebblesplash shook his head. “No offense taken. Some cats aren’t the chatty type.” He spoke.

iceSky: Specklepaw appeared at Hawkpaw's side, finally getting the courage to leave Shadespots. "Hey Hawkpaw! I just met a Riverclan apprentice, Sproutpaw. Wanna come join us? We're sitting at the edge so it's not so crowded." River: Sproutpaw sat at the outskirts of the other groups of apprentices, awkwardly waiting for Specklepaw to return. He glanced around, wondering if any other apprentices would join their small group.

ShadowClan & SkyClan
Fuzzypaw purred, nudging Spottedpaw with a light headbutt. "Okay, I'm holding you to it! And I promise not to throw any pinecones!"
Warblerpaw's ears flicked back at the accusatory tone. He remembered hearing the argument at the last Gathering, but hadn't been present for it. "Scarletpaw? Eh, I know her, since she's one of the older apprentices in ThunderClan," he said with a shrug. "Talked with her a few times. Dunno that I'd consider us 'friends,' though. She can be a little..." he searched for the word, mindful of Sootpaw and Stumppaw, considering he was talking about their Clanmate. "Competitive."
He turned his head slightly when he heard Stumppaw mention Spiritstar, but then faced the Great Rock as Lightningstar announced the Gathering to begin.
Fuzzypaw settled to listen as well.
WindClan & ThunderClan
Bluewhisker nodded, lifting her head when her leader spoke. Palegaze also turned his attention to the leaders.

SkyClan
(I forgot Whisperstone xP)
Whisperstone finally caught sight of his sister and breathed a sigh of relief, moving in her direction. "There you are. You took off as soon as we got here." He said to her quietly, sitting down beside her. He shuffled his paws, glancing over at her, "Echowing.. are you sure about this plan? What if this causes problems for SkyClan later? We can't afford to have the other Clans scrutinizing our every move."
Hawkpaw looked up when Specklepaw approached her and gave a nod, "Sure. That sounds okay to me." She said, still feeling a bit dejected. She followed after her denmate back towards Sproutpaw, giving him a nod in greeting.

Wind:
Swiftstar nodded to Lightningstar, motioning for the leader to start with his tail."Go right ahead Lightningstar."
Larkpaw grinned as she caught Lightningstar moving out of the corner of her eye. "I think it's starting!"
River:
Stormsplash's ears flattened, his face stricken at Splashstone's words. "You can't mean that... Where else would you go? Your sisters, do they feel this way too?" he asked, voice shaking.

Goldberry looked at Whitesun with a pained look, before he quietly pleaded. “Whitesun, I would never… I… Please, you must believe me, I never would have chosen to do what was done. I…” He swallowed, having tried to explain the posession before, yet getting any cat to believe him was near impossible at times. “Hawkpaw bumped into me. I was trying to avoid this kind of thing. I do not want to be your enemy!” “Some clans, better than others.” Mothsong muttered lightly as she noticed the thick and glossy pelts of the Riverclan cats. Diamondheart looked as plump as a pigeon up on the rock, compared to the slender frames of the other four leaders. Starclan could only imagine how Earthstar must look. She blinked, realizing she probably sounded grumbly again. “Sorry…” |

Spottedpaw laughed, nodding back to Fuzzypaw. "Okay, no pinecones promise." His head turned to look at the great rock as Lightningstar stepped forward. He grinned back at Fuzzypaw, moving to face the leaders.
Duskpaw scoffed, "Competitive, yeah you can say that again." she replied, tail lashing at the thought of their fight last gathering. She quieted as the announcements began though, settling down next to Whorlpaw with rapt attention toward the great rock.

SkyClan(I forgot Whisperstone xP) Whisperstone finally caught sight of his sister and breathed a sigh of relief, moving in her direction. "There you are. You took off as soon as we got here." He said to her quietly, sitting down beside her. He shuffled his paws, glancing over at her, "Echowing.. are you sure about this plan? What if this causes problems for SkyClan later? We can't afford to have the other Clans scrutinizing our every move." Hawkpaw looked up when Specklepaw approached her and gave a nod, "Sure. That sounds okay to me." She said, still feeling a bit dejected. She followed after her denmate back towards Sproutpaw, giving him a nod in greeting. “Who cares what the other clans think? This isn’t about Skyclan, or any other Clan, this is about Frostyfoot and Opalmist ruining our lives!” Echowing whispered harshly to her brother as she realized he was trying to stall her decision. “Unlike them, we’re loyal Warriors to our Clan, revealing them will be justified.” She growled, glancing up at Lightningstar. “It’s starting anyway. Now or never.” |

RIVERCLAN:
Diamondheart took a deep breath, before he nodded pleasantly to Lightningstar to take the lead on the announcements. After all, it only seemed respectful to allow the most experienced leader to speak first. He prayed he could match the leaders’ confident announcements, especially if any conflict somehow arose.
Mintpaw gasped excitedly as she looked up, nudging her brother and nodding to Silverpaw, Rowanpaw, and Honeycrest to look up at the great rock.

RiverClan
Glacierpaw shuffled his paws. It sounded like an easy way to be sneaky. He didn't want to be known as sneaky. "That makes me want to be careful about what I say..." he muttered, looking up as Lightningstar began speaking.
ThunderClan
Slatesight grumbled at the idea of training and opened his mouth to reply, but stopped when their leader began the gathering. At the same time, he pictured his brother next to the other leaders. What a sight it was...
ShadowClan
"Snowflower? That's a fitting name," he remarked, hoping it wasn't a weird thing to say. "I don't recognize you, but it's possible. There are a lot of cats here this time."
SkyClan
Spiristar stayed quiet so Lightningstar could begin. She was curious to hear his report if he intentionally began first.
WindClan
Silverpaw looked up at Lightningstar and continued sitting with the apprentices.
"Hey, that sounds like a good hunt to me!" Gustpaw quipped. If he could catch more than one piece of prey on the moor at his skill level, he'd be proud. "I know the gorge is dangerous. I've heard stories," he breathed, leaning forward slightly. "Not pleasant ones."

SkyClan
Whitesun narrowed his eyes Goldberry and tilted his ears back, "I don't want to hear it! Enough of your excuses, Goldberry. I saw the look in your eyes that day. Nothing you say can make me believe that wild story you and your Clan spun." He hissed quietly to him, the fur on his shoulders starting to bristle slightly. He turned his head when he saw movement on the Great Rock and turned away, looking over his shoulder at the large tom, "I don't ever want to see you anywhere near my family again. I won't tolerate it, I don't care if it's a full moon or not." He said with a growl and lashed his tail once before he pushed back through the crowd towards the other deputies.
Whisperstone glanced over at the Great Rock nervously when he spotted movement and lowered his voice to a quiet and urgent whisper, "I know that, but what do you think will happen to us once they find out? You know how the Clans are! Sure, it's not our fault that they broke the warrior code, but others won't see it that way! They'll think that our very existence is wrong and take it out on us!" He said, not liking the idea of his clan possibly turning their backs on him and his siblings.
ThunderClan & SkyClan
"Nothing to be sorry about." Blackfire reassured her, following her gaze to the RiverClan cats. "I honestly agree with you. It looks like RiverClan's rivers have been plentiful this season." She fell quiet and looked up at the Great Rock as the leaders got ready to start the meeting, her ears perking up to listen.
Owlfrost gave Mothsong a light nudge, giving her a look, "Now was that so hard?" He asked her quietly, a teasing look in his eyes.
RiverClan
Arcticpaw nodded her head, "I've heard those stories too. They told us about them in the nursery." she said with a shiver, "But I've also heard about a waterfall at the edge of our territory before. I've never actually gone to see if it was real though."

Foxripple chuckled once, voice knowing and sly as he mewed. “The best skill is knowing how to get other cats to show their paw without having to show your own… but that’s another lesson.” He looked up at the leaders, able to see that the gathering was starting. Hornetstrike looked up at Lightningstar, glad that he got to go first. Inwardly, he cast his glance enough at Frostmoon to tell that his daughter clearly had a rough time today. Seeing Ghostscreech in a similar mode only had the tom sure of what it was all about. |
