Sootpaw clambered after Owlstar, not waiting for Icewind to usher her into the area. She immediately scanned the area or the other apprentices and darted over to where she saw a new golden face. She ruffled her dark gray wings, and waved her tail happily. "Hi!" She exclaimed to Lionpaw. "What's your name?"
Briarstar simply nodded as the two other leaders appeared in the clearing. "I see we're all here." he acknowledged with a nod. "Perhaps we should start?"
Onefrost waved his tail as Frozenstar and Owlstar climbed the Soft Tree, and Hailspots simply kept a stoic look as she glanced in one direction at the group of ThornClan cats, though her eyes were slightly brighter with happiness. Dewtalon curled his golden tabby tail around his paws, glancing around the area.
Milkwhisker curled his tail and glanced around for any other elders to chat with- his messy brown feathers in order at his sides.

" I would like to start if thats possible. " She mewd. With a firm tone. Brackenstar needed to tell the other Leaders something now. While it wasnt a warning to back off Thornclan. It was more like service annoucement.

Briarstar gave another nod. "Very well Brackenstar," he mewed, with a strange wiseness much past his own time, "you always like to speak first."

Lionpaw's eyes widened as Dropletleaf mentioned the ThornClan cats' spiky fur, but before he could reply, a winged grey she-cat popped into sight. At first he was too startled to say anything, but he quickly came to wits. However, he had to admit that her stunning dark blue eyes were a bit distracting at first. They vaguely reminded him of Otterpaw, and he smiled softly. "Lionpaw, at your service!" He bowed his head in a respectful manner, but his eyes glinted playfully. "And who might this young lady be?"

Sootpaw gave a dip of her head, an elegant tone in her voice as she replied. "Madame Sootpaw of OwlClan," the she-cat giggled and returned to her happy voice. "It's nice to meet you! What Clan are you from? I haven't seen you at a gathering before."

Lionpaw laughed happily at her lady impression, before returning to a friendly smile. "OwlClan, cool!" He thought about Dropletleaf's story of WingClan, and was happy he wasn't a HawkClan cat. "I'm from FernClan", he said proudly, and glanced quickly at Briarstar, wondering if he should mention his parentage. Probably not. He wouldn't want to seem like he was boasting. "This is my very first Gathering, actually. I turn seven moons in a couple of days", he said, blushing lightly.

Leafspots distanced herself from the rest of the cats. She hardly liked talking to the cats but enjoyed gathering for the news. She would watch cats mingle, observing their behaviors.

"Oh, Cool! I'll be eight moons soon." She mewed, a glint in her blue eyes. Once again, they flickered a slight green, only momentarily, before returning to their normal color. "I wonder when the leaders will start speaking," she said, glancing over at Owlstar and the others.

Puddlesplash didn't really know what to do. He suddenly felt very scared and alone, not able to move a muscle as he sat in the shade away from everyone. This Gathering didn't seem to be that great...... He gave a little sigh and looked down st his paws with a huff.
Bramblewish on the other paw was totally at home. She managed to push away all the thoughts about cats judging her wnd finally could have a good time. Seeing a cat that looked quite alone, she gave a sympathetic sigh. Some clan members couldn't embrace all the joy and kinship in the air! With a happy nod the medicine cat looked around to observe the others from her comfortable perch.

Lionpaw saw her eyes flicker, and gave her a startled glance. His own eyes turned a more intense yellow - an unconsious way of expressing surprise."You guys can change your eye colour, too?", he exclaimed bewildered. While he hid it well, he felt a little bit disappointed. He had thought that was one of the things that made his clan special, and he himself was very proud of finally having mastered changing his eye colour for longer amounts of time without feeling exhausted.

Sootpaw srunched up her face. "No silly! OwlClan cats can't do that. Why would I want to be like a lizard?" Realizing what she had said, she dipped her head sheepishly. "Sorry, I hope I didn't offend you. Either way, we have wings and night vision!" She said happily.

Ooo, I sense a subplot coming up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Which Fern cat is a traitor?? Hope it isn't Briar!)
Lionpaw was absolutely bewildered. Perhaps his eyes had played tricks on him? He was silent for a little while, tugging on the thought. No. He was certain of what he had seen. But how was he going to tell Sootpaw? "Uh... Please don't get me wrong, but your eyes did change colour. Do you have any FernClan blood?" he asked, as softly as he could manage. He offered a sympathetic, but slightly confused smile. Maybe she was just playing with him?

[ hmmm I wonder why soot's mom is so hesitant to say who her father is and no I don't plan to make it briar lol ]
Sootpaw was taken aback. "What? Never!" she swished her tail. "My eyes just glint like that in the moonlight!" She assured though she couldn't tell if she was assuring herself or Lionpaw. FernClan blood? Thanks but no thanks! I'm an OwlClan cat through and through! Just look at my wings!

Haha, good. Now they can search for her dad together and have a dramatic secret romance)
Lionpaw was unsure as to what to do next. He felt sure of what he had seen, however unlikely. Sootpaw genuinely seemed to have no idea what he was talking about, so it probably wasn't some sick joke, either. He coughed lightly, and brushed her tail with his own in an attempt to seem sincere and comforting. "Sootpaw, I'm a FernClan cat. My father's Briarstar. I think I know what my own clan's special power looks like. Besides, moonlight can't turn deep blue eyes like yours green, I believe you know that."
But for reals, who is her dad? I mean Half-face's gay, and that only leaves Perchheart and Echopaw and Echopaw is Sootpaw's age, soooooo)

Dropletleaf hid a smirk. Pride flooded through her. My apprentice is growing up so fast! He's even flirting! She swished her tail, watching. Suddenly she noticed Sootpaw's eyes changing color. Her breath caught in her throat. It can't be! - Owlmoon

" Before my actul Annoucement. I share a peace treaty ". " Let all clans know , Thornclan is no threat. As we might be a powerful force , We are peaceful. Our past might not be and our thorns may share a different story. Let it be known whether we shed eithers blood or gain new land. We come in peace this night and always " Her tail lashed. These clans might be lectured by her but she didn't care. Brackenstar needed for them to take the message in.

[ She gets the gray from her mothers side (Krestletail). however, the black parts on her (her ear, tail, etc.) are from her dad. I haven't actually made him, but if someone else wants to then I wouldn't have to control all of Soot's family tree lol ]
"No," she said firmly, though her voice was a bit shaky. "It's not true! My mom would've told me if I were half-Clan!"
Briarstar rolled his green eyes, annoyance flickering through him. "Get on with it, Brackenstar! We haven't got all night!"

Ah, okay. I mean I wouldn't mind making her mate, but as we already have both RiverxBriar and now Lion and Soot interacting, I suppose I probably should leave it open to someone else)
Lionpaw felt sorry for Sootpaw. He was just as confused himself, but he understood that the situation must be much worse for her. He tried to imagine what it would be like to suddenly discover that his fur could turn into thorns, but it was impossible. He, Riverheart, Briarstar and Otterpaw was probably the most stable family in the forest, and even his crazy creative mind couldn't picture a world where they weren't together. "You seem like you have reason to believe that you could be half-clan.. Do you not know your father?"

[ yeah, that's probably for the best xD ] Sootpaw felt like disappearing. Just a few minutes ago she was leaping out of her fur, excited to meet the other apprentices at the gathering. Now she felt that a mistake. "N-no..." she stammered. No! I'm not FernClan! I'm OwlClan! It's not possible!

Lionpaw bit the inside of cheek, rummaging his mind for a way to make this easier for Sootpaw. He never should have mentioned it in the first place. Now he felt horrible for ruining the OwlClan apprentice's Gathering - and his own, for that matter. And he who had been so happy to finally get a new friend, too. "I'm so sorry. I probably shouldn't have mentioned it", he said, his eyes turning dark blue, almost like hers.

(sure!) Briarstar stepped up, his voice sounding through the clearing. "Prey is running very well in FernClan territory- as always in new-leaf. We have three new apprentices- Lionpaw, Otterpaw and Echopaw." He away to let another leader take over.
Sootpaw grimaced. "Don't feel bad!" She hated to make him feel guilty. "I'm sure it was just a misunderstanding, that's all!"

Snakepaw sat near the base of the tree in the front of the crowd. He gazed up at the leaders as they spoke and wondered what news Owlstar would share with the other clans.

Lionpaw wondered if he should just leave it at that. But his guts churned at the thought of brushing over it as if it was nothing. It felt like lying. For a minute he almost doubted that it had happened at all, but then - there! they did it again. It lastet less than a second, a flash of yellow, but now there was no doubt in Lionpaw's mind. It would be dishonest to pretend nothing had happened. "Only it wasn't a misunderstanding, Sootpaw. They did it again just now!"
Otterpaw saw a fellow apprentice sitting by himself, and walked over to him with bouncing steps. "Hello! Who are you?"

{I'm back! Sorry I missed a lot.}
Echopaw walked nervously around the clearing. He hadn't been sure what the Gathering would be like, but now that he was there, he was nervous about how many cats there were. He tried to compose himself and then walked over to Otterpaw. {I assume Echopaw knows Otterpaw? They're in the same Clan, so...}

Post by Dragoness on May 21, 2017 8:23:23 GMT -5
Yeah, I would assume so)
Otterpaw turned around to see a familiar face. "Oh, hi, Echopaw! What do you think of the gathering so far?" she asked with a bright smile.

Snakepaw turned and looked back and forth between the two cats. They were around his size so he assumed they were both apprentices as well. "Hello! I'm Snakepaw of Owlclan." He meows, with a readjusting of his iridescent black wings. Partly because they had gotten into an awkward position, but mainly to show off Owlclan's talent. "Which clan are you cats from?"

Sootpaw nearly let out a desperate wail, but instead, her eyes turned a bright sky blue. "It can't be true." She murmured to herself. Was that why her mother was so insistent on not telling her who her father was? She'd always assumed it was because her father wanted to keep it a surprise. She'd never had guessed she'd be half-Clan! Oh, the travesty! "I... I just need some time to think." The gray cat whipped around and darted away, her mind whirling. She just needed some time.

Puddlesplash saw a younger cat seeming to be in distress and rushing away. She nearly crashed into him but he moved aside just in time. "Hey, you okay?" He asked softly, looking at her with slightly narrowed eyes. "The Gathering's about to start soon."
