(Yeah let's just put a Sky where there previously was none.)
(Also Moon, I posted Bramble's next bit at Twolegplace when you're ready. Idk where Jay is but he'll probably be around some time too.)
Swallowsong, ever the opportunistic one, noticed Skyflight sitting by herself just outside the warriors' den, eyeing the she-cat as she periodically glanced at the SkyClan leader's den. She was not the only one who had noticed that Spiritstar seemed vexed. And Skyflight was among the cats who attended the Gathering. Perhaps she could share what occurred.
She stood up from her place beside Shadespots and ambled over to Skyflight. Though Skyflight wasn't the most talkative she-cat, it didn't seem there was anything better she could be doing, so maybe she'd be willing to indulge her.
"You seem anxious, Skyflight," Swallowsong mewed, "Did something happen at the Gathering?"

Skyflight jumped, the she-cat had been so lost in her thoughts she hadn't noticed the other she-cat approaching her. "Oh Swallowsong. Hello." she greeted, giving her chest a lick of embarrassment. "Sorry I didn't see you coming. Sit, it's going to take quite a while to explain everything that happened."

Swallowsong purred in amusement. She hadn't expected Skyflight to be so easily startled. But her amusement was short-lived. Normally Skyflight was so calm and composed, but tonight seemed a bit different. What happened at this Gathering?
She reclined comfortably on the ground with her ears pricked attentively and her plumed tail swishing restlessly. "I have time," she said.

Skyflight shifted to get more comfortable before turning to face Swallowsong. "A lot happened at the gathering, Thunderclan lost over ten warriors and Shadowclan.. Starclan they lost more than 20. Shadowclan apparently didn't warn Thunderclan of the fire and several fights broke out over it. I'm sure if Shadowclan could have, they would have sent a patrol, but the flames must have been too fast. Lightningstar was very angry about it though, and claimed Shadowclan were rather heartless for not warning them. Then, Cedarstar claimed fourtrees." She cut off for a moment, looking expectantly at Swallowsong for her reaction.

Swallowsong's eyes were wide. She didn't quite know what to say. ThunderClan had lost over ten warriors, while ShadowClan's fallen warriors numbered over twenty? How would these two Clans survive the coming Leaf-bare after suffering such devastating losses? And if thoughts of battle began brewing, could either Clan even fight the other?
"S-StarClan, it's worse than we thought," she choked out, utterly shaken. She couldn't comprehend what the implications of this was. Was StarClan angry with the Clans that they permitted the fire to wreak such havoc? Or was it simply beyond their control? And where did SkyClan stand in all of this? ThunderClan and ShadowClan had always had somewhat of a bitter relationship with one another. What was to happen if either sought SkyClan's assistance to gain an advantage over the other?
"Did StarClan think anything of Cedarstar's claim?" she asked.

"Did StarClan think anything of Cedarstar's claim?" she asked. Skyflight shook her head. “The sky was clear the whole night. Spiritstar was worried because it’s sacred neutral ground but ultimately said if Starclan didn’t have a problem with it, neither did she. Earthstar appeared unhappy but neglected to speak on the topic. Swiftstar and Lightningstar on the other paw were very angry and refused to let it happen at first. They fought for some time before Lightningstar conceded. He did say though that if Shadowclan still claimed fourtrees come newleaf, Thunderclan would push them out. With the help of Windclan no doubt.” The older she-cat sighed, shaking her head sadly. “Shadowclan must be very desperate to take fourtrees. I doubt there’s much prey in an open clearing.”

"I agree with Spiritstar," Swallowsong replied. "It was wise of her to try and perceive the will of StarClan, but I can't help but wonder what could happen if she endeavors to keep SkyClan neutral."
Spiritstar was a great leader in trying to make sure SkyClan ultimately survived Leaf-bare without being too badly harmed, but it seemed that a side may need to be taken at some point, especially now that SkyClan had essentially declared neutrality. Any Clan could request its assistance. Lightningstar and ThunderClan had already declared its intention to drive out ShadowClan, possibly with the help of Swiftstar and WindClan, and Earthstar didn't seem keen on getting RiverClan involved. This meant that ShadowClan's closest possible ally was SkyClan if their strength was not renewed by Newleaf. And being as SkyClan only lost three cats due to ShadowClan's warning, Cedarstar was likely determined to collect on the debt owed him.
"Normally I'm not so fearful of fighting," Swallowsong meowed, again voicing her thoughts, "But even when Newleaf gets here, I doubt the strength of the Clans will be replenished enough to endure battle and I don't think we can count on the other leaders to be reasonable," she sighed, before adding a bit more spitefully, "Those thick-headed toms."

hey frozen ^.^ )
Ashfeather entered the camp his head hung low as his jaws were empty of prey. The tom had always struggled with hunting, but now he was bad at the skill and the forest was devoid of prey. The tom settled down in the corner of camp to sulk.
Springkit flicked her tail, looking thoughtfully down at the camp below.
Twigkit headbutted his sister lightly. "Almost 6 moons you bird-brain." he mewed in amusement.
Springkit giggled, "That's right, we'll be apprentices soon. Then Mama said we could climb the cliffs! It's not fair though, Flyingkit already climbed them." she mewed with a pout.
Twigkit sighed, looking back at Crescentkit. "How could your siblings aren't out yet? Are they sleeping?"

Skyflight chuckled, shaking her head lightly. "You got that right, and all the deputies are toms too! Poor Spiritstar is sorely outnumbered. I do have to say that we are all indebted to Shadowclan. Even Thunderclan is, Shadowclan aided Lightningstar is gaining the clan back from Shadestar." The she-cat glanced up at the sky, noticing how clear it was tonight. "If Starclan seriously had a problem, they would have sent a sign by now, so I suppose Starclan knows that Shadowclan needs the land and is allowing it."

Springkit settled down beside him, deciding she liked the small tom and that she would keep him for herself. "Apprentices train with their mentors to become warriors! They learn how to hunt, and to fight and they learn the ways of the warrior code." she mewed, reciting what her father had told her.
Twigkit glanced back towards the nursery, "Your mom doesn't have a clan name, I don't think she's from here. Does she even know the warrior code?" he asked with a tilt of his head. The tom meant no harm by the statement, the kit not truly understanding that his statement could have been offensive to older cats. He flicked his ears, blinking carefully at the little tom. "You have a clan name though, so I suppose you're allowed to stay."

She wasn't happy with how low it looked, though the reason was obvious. She noticed Ashfeather in the corner of her eye and approached. "Nothing?" she spoke, assuming he didn't have any luck by his look.

Ashfeather looked up at Willownose, giving a slow shake of his head. "Nothing. I'm hoping that after a few more sunrises the birds will return. Right now though? It's like the forest is empty, except for warriors with hungry bellies."

Swallowsong merely rolled her eyes, "That's true, but Lightningstar would never allow Cedarstar to hold that over him. Even if he acknowledged it, his pride would still get the better of him. And 'high and mighty' ThunderClan, ever the Clan of mouse-brains, would rally behind him. I suppose Lightningstar deserves the praise seeing as he's the oldest leader in the forest, but it feels like he's just trying to bully Cedarstar. I'm sure he'd think twice about challenging ShadowClan's claim if Northstar was still leader."
She sighed, "As you say, the whole forest is in ShadowClan's debt and Cedarstar doesn't seem power-hungry. I think he just wants to keep ShadowClan strong, which is what any leader would want. ThunderClan's reaction to the claim is of course anything but surprising."

Willownose sighed. "It's not even leaf-bare yet. I hope the fire didn't scare away the prey for good." she remarked. "Makes me want to go out there and try again..."

Skyflight blinked, thinking about the days of Adderclan that she spent in Northstar's camp as a refugee. She and Sparrowstrike had been mere apprentices then, their mother had still been alive and the world had felt like it was ending. She supposed now didn't feel much different. "Cedarstar has a lot of pride, you should have seen the burns that covered him. I almost forgot but, he fell from the rock at the beginning. His mate, Starrylight I believe moved faster than light to get to him and I think she's the only reason he wasn't fuming." she mewed, smirking softly. "But you're right, I do not think he is power-hungry, just trying to get the remaining warriors he has through leaf-bare."

Ashfeather glanced towards the clan entrance. "I'd go out again later, if you'd like to come with me, but I think I should rest a little first. I haven't eaten since yesterday and I'm already feeling a bit weaker." he mewed in disappointment. "I'm glad Spiritstar didn't start anything with the other clans at the gathering. Fights never end well with empty stomachs."

Twigkit flattened his ears, thrown off by the tom's sudden change in attitude. "Skyclan has many cats that are not originally clanborn and they're all respected." he mewed, attempting to calm the small kit again. "Spiritstar doesn't seem to take borders into account very often. Mama says it's cuz she used to be a medicine cat."

"That must have been embarrassing," Swallowsong remarked, trying to imagine the humiliation. That had to have been one of the more lighthearted highlights of the Gathering, even though it was at Cedarstar's expense. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him though. Sure, Starrylight had helped him through it, but it must have been frustrating not being able to leap up to the rock.
"Though now that you mention that, I think every leader but Spiritstar could do with a fall from the Great Rock," she shrugged, "Might knock some sense into them, squabbling over an open clearing that probably isn't even good for much prey like you said. Seems ours is the only one with a brain. Her and Earthstar maybe, though I'm inclined to believe the reason he said nothing is because fire doesn't scare away the fish."

Dark SunUm, all of Celandine's kits were born weak and so it would take longer than normal for them to be able to walk around steadily. If any of them would be able to ghen it would be Bravekit since she was born the strongest but it'll take her time as time. Idk how much time has passed in the rp since I was on so maybe I'm not completely up to date))

When it comes to kits, we allow everyone to age up their kits to however old they need to be to walk and talk. Otherwise, if you only have one character, you can't rp. Violet didn't need to remove her posts, she was fine. Crescentkit is her character to rp however she wants.)

gonna be honest Vi, I don't think I know what Sky's camp looks like XD But if you want to be an expert go for it! Rp how ever you want as long as it doesn't go against the rules or messes up anyone else's plot, you can pretty much do whatever you want. )

Sorry if I came off as rude I was just trying to figure out what's going on. By what I know it hasn't been that long since they were born and all. Crescentkit would be able to talk and sit up and maybe walk around a bit but with them all being weak Celandine wouldn't let them out of the nursery for awhile. Especially since she doesn't trust the clan yet.))
