Rainclan

The amount of tension that hung in the air was so thick, yet so delicate, it could be broken with the single touch of a claw. All of Rainclan was awake, but silent. It was almost surreal seeing the entire clan in the camp at once. But despite the crowding, everything was still. Everyone held their breaths, occasional whimpers of fright or gasps when the earth beneath their feet would shake serving as the only noise.

Silverstar, Emberlight, Dewfrost, and Rustpaw had been gathered together in the Leader's den, discussing what course of action they should take. The dreams, the shaking beneath them, the frightened voices of Starclan cats that sometimes whispered in the two Medicine Cats' ears. There was much to discuss, but so little time it seemed.



He knew something wasn't right. He'd sensed it in the air, in the disquiet of the surrounding area. There were no fish, and the waters trembled in an unusual way. Dewfrost had dreamed a terrible dream, of death and destruction, of great waters swallowing the valley and change coming upon them. It was already late, and he knew that it would be harder this way. But it took too much to make Dewfrost cry like that, to have her wish for both parents to sleep on either side so she could feel safe. They had to leave. Tonight. Before the sun fully set.

"I need everyone to come together now." He had changed the words he used to call them, because this time it had to be the entire clan. No one could be unaware of this. "Dewfrost has had a dream of StarClan. A terrible danger is coming to the valley and our home is no longer safe. I know we've only just recovered from the last time, but we can't wait this out. Group yourselves together in family groups. If you haven't family seek out friends, seek out warriors, seek out your deputy or your medicine cat, or myself. I want the apprentices to help Dewfrost get together as many of her herbs as can easily be transported then glue yourselves to your family or your mentor. Don't drag your paws, we leave before the sun sets. Get moving!"



When the four cats finally emerged from the den, Silverstar called out to the clan, though all of them were gathered anyway, anxiously awaiting what had been decided. As discussed, the clan was to split into three groups, each led by Silverstar, Emberlight, and Dewfrost respectively. Once the announcement had ended, Dewfrost and Rustpaw were quick to get back to their den, while Silverstar and Emberlight each moved to a different section of the clearing.

Many of the Warriors and Elders were split between Silverstar and Emberlight, while the Apprentices, Queens, and a few other select Warriors were sent to travel with Dewfrost and Rustpaw.

With the ground shaking beneath them on occasion and the sound of the river surrounding camp growing more and more restless, the clan hurried to ready themselves for the journey ahead.

As instructed, all of the Apprentices were gathered together at the Medicine Cat den entrance. With Dewfrost and Rustpaw sorting and organizing herbs as quickly as they could, each young cat is given a leaf-wrapped bundle of an assortment of herbs.

Once as many herbs as they could carry were secured, Dewfrost stepped forward, leading her group and parting from camp first. Once all of those within the Medicine Cat group had crossed safely, Emberlight was next to lead his group across the river. Finally, Silverstar and his group are the last to depart, leaving the camp they had all called home empty as the last of the group crossed the river.

Their future was uncertain, but they knew one thing. They had to keep moving, keep looking ahead. They had to get to the Tribe.

_______________________________________________

Rainclan is leaving from camp Greenleaf 11 night and travelling towards the edge of the territory to regroup, and then heading for the Tribe.

The clan is split into three groups. Within each group will be smaller groups, consisting of at least 3 or more cats, that will cross the river together to ensure as few cats are lost as possible. Cats are free to choose who they cross with, though sticking with family and/or friends is highly preferred.

The order of group departure is: Dewfrost's group, Emberlight's group, Silverstar's group.
Each group crosses a brief amount of time after the previous.


The primary groups:

Dewfrost's Group
(These smaller groups are assigned and separated by •)
• Dewfrost, Lilygleam, Echoshade, Turtlepaw
• Brookfall, Gorgeleap, Riverpaw, Pebblepaw
• Ivoryrose, Puddlepaw, Peachblossom, Drizzlepaw
• Poppypaw, Webpaw(uncreated NPC), Yarrowpaw(uncreated NPC), their mother(uncreated NPC), Rustpaw


Silverstar and Emberlight's Groups
These groups are not assigned certain cats. The only specifications are that the remaining Elders, minus Lilygleam, are divided equally between the groups, each Elder accompanied by 2 or 3 Warriors each.
From there, all Warriors may choose which group they follow. Once again, it is encouraged that everyone stick together with either family or friends.
If there are any cats who have no family or friends to immediately group with, they are encouraged to follow Silverstar.
