StormstarMud caked the paws of Stormstar, turning his white markings brown. The storm that passed through the valley threatened to overwhelm the river banks, but they held strong. Grateful for StarClan for that blessing. Pushing forward through the mud, Stormstar paused only a few times to check behind him to ensure his clanmates were keeping up. A few of the chosen cats had never been to a gathering and he wanted to be sure they knew the way. Glancing behind him, Stormstar offered a nod of approval to a few of the apprentice who seemed at awe. He fondly remembered those days of his youth. Further on, Stormstar paused just before entering the clearing that was StarClan's Claws. He turned to face his troop as a way to ensure they arrived all together. Having already given them a speech about being respectful on such sacred land prior to leaving, the RainClan leader entered the clearing in a few strides. It seemed they were the first to arrive, that was a first. Jumping onto the boulder that the leaders spoke from, Stormstar waited, the moonlight casting creating a rather imposing shadow on the ground. Cats to Attend Stormstar Rushwhisker Ottersplash

The rain from a few days ago had made the muddy pools impossible to navigate. It was simpler to go aroudn them rather then go through them. His grey pelt glowed with the moonlight, making it ease for his clanmates to follow after him. Dimstar had made a choice to bring a carefully selected number of cats. There were no elders in their mix, it was important they made good time. The few apprentices that were invited were close to earning their warrior name. The white-eyed leader wanted to make a statement that NightClan was strong as ever. Arrival at StarClan's Claws brought with it a pungent fishy smell. RainClan had already arrived. Without hesitation Dimstar entered the clearing and made his way toward Stormstar. He offered a polite but silent greeting to the large tom cat as the two of them waited for the other three clans to arrive. Cats to Attend Dimstar Redcloud Smokefur Shadowpaw

Even though they had left early, the debris from the storm that raged through the valley made TreeClan's progress slow. Lionstar was mindful of the safety of his Clanmates, and he had Gorsetail leading the cats to StarClan's Claws, while he lingered near the rear, helping the younger cats navigate through their sodden territory. The apprentices were, unsurprisingly, excited to go to their first Gathering; among them was Nightpaw, a she-cat he had once thought utterly lost to them. Lionstar matched her pawstep for pawstep beside her mentor Sprucefur (the pale tom was privately displeased to be away from Feathercloud, who was still recovering), and gave Nightpaw a smile of encouragement. "You'll be fine," he mewed, and as they neared StarClan's Claws, he saw Gorsetail halt before they crossed into the sacred ground. Lionstar's stride lengthened, carrying him powerfully to the head of his Clan. The scents of pine and river wreathed the night air, and Lionstar could just pick out the thin shadow of Dimstar beside the formidable pool of darkness that was Stormstar's. With a wave of his tail, Lionstar led his Clan in, walking proudly to join the other leaders upon the high boulder. "Stormstar. Dimstar. Greetings." They had been blessed with peace from NightClan, and it seemed as though Stormstar's Clan was finally beginning to recover. Newleaf was indeed the season for new growth. New beginnings. leader of TreeClan Invited Cats Lionstar Gorsetail Falconstorm

For the first time since becoming a leader, Firestar considered not attending the gathering. The claw wound from the badger still stung as the she-cat walked ahead of her clanmates. The calico she-cat had requested the Kindleflare place cobweb over the wound as a sort of protective layer to avoid infection. The amount of herbs that Firestar had eaten in the past two days was enough to make her feel like a forest.
With her clanmates in a closer knitted group, Firestar couldn't help but feel uneasy. The badger hadn't been found and for all she knew it was still lurking in the tunnels. Firestar insisted that everyone hunted in pairs and stayed clear of the tunnels. Brightpool,who was in charge of maintaining the tunnels, was required to take a small troop of warriors with her. They couldn't risk another loss. Redscar, her deputy, was planning on working in some new battle training for everyone to ensure that if the badger came back everyone was better prepared.
Perhaps once she was fully healed she could lead a patrol to track down and kill the vile creature, but that was a plan for a different day.
The groups arrival to StarClan's Claws went without ceremony. Plenty of the apprentices in attendance to the meeting were in mourning, some of the warriors as well. Firestar didn't expect them to talk much or if they did she doubted they'd be the light of the party. However, Firestar wouldn't hold it against them if anyone in her party did mingle and socialize. Everyone dealt with their grief differently.
Without a word but instead a signal of her shorter tail, Firestar entered the clear with her clanmates right behind her. She wasted little time and beelined right for the high boulder, noting that LightingClan was the fourth to arrive. "Better than StoneClan," She thought before jumping onto the boulder. Her side her with the effort and the calico leader had to breathe through the pain.
"Hello everyone," She meowed as her nose crinkled with the pain. The last thing she wanted was for any of the rival clans to see her as weak. She'd suffer through the pain to prove she was strong.

Hawkstar may your dreams be larger than mountains Pale amber eyes quickly scanned the surroundings as the group of cats moved through familiar territory toward StarClan's Claws. His gait was perhaps a little faster than it ought to be, but they'd left late tonight. As Hawkstar had been speaking to the chosen cats, reminding them of appropriate Gathering etiquette and warning against aggressive behavior toward LightningClan cats, he'd been interrupted by a commotion near the elder's den. For reasons unknown, Fallenleaf's injured shoulder had buckled beneath her weight, sending his patient friend crashing to the ground. Skunkspots had been one of the cats chosen to attend the Gathering, and she was one of the first to reach Fallenleaf.
Hawkstar's descent from the Rock Ledge had been hasty, but by the time he made it to the white and cream elder's side, she was busy scolding the lot of them for fretting over her. Skunkspots was at her shoulder, and after a brief order from Hawkstar, the black and white warrior helped her former mentor to Dawnblossom's den. It took a while longer before Fallenleaf was comfortably settled in a nest, and longer still to convince Skunkspots to leave the den. In the end, Hawkstar stationed Honeynose and Herondive in the den with Fallenleaf, with brief instruction from Dawnblossom as to caring for Fallenleaf.
They had some time to make up for now, and the StoneClan leader had no doubt they would be the last of the Clans to arrive. He could only hope Fallenleaf was alright... Wolfclaw's presence at his side slowed his pace, the grey deputy's concerned glance warning enough that he was moving too quickly. As they drew closer to StarClan's Claws, the four other Clan scents drifted toward them on the wind. Inhaling quietly, he slowed to a stop just prior to diving in. He could see some of the warriors catching their breath after the... Mild sprint.
A wave of his tail served as the signal that most knew. He strode forward with confidence, splitting off from the group with Wolfclaw toward their designated spots. He climbed to the leaders' perch with ease, taking up a seat near Stormstar. With an inclination of his muzzle, he offered a ghost of a smile. "Stormstar, Lionstar, Dimstar, Firestar. Evening to you all." leader of stoneclan and may you have the courage to scale their summits background image | harley king | Fawn Fate of Five Staff Hellion | table by phoenix

v StormstarStormstar titled his head in greeting to Dimstar then Lionstar. He meowed a soft greeting to the two leaders before turning his attention to Firestar at her arrival. The dark hued tom's eyes narrowed down on the wound on the she-cat. For a brief moment Stormstar had a look of surprise. He didn't think a she-cat as small as Firestar would venture out of her camp with such a new wound. Impressed by the calico leader he also nodded in greeting. Hawkstar as the last to arrive and finally the gathering could begin. Stepping up, Stormstar took center spot on the boulder in order to gather the attention of those mewling about. "Welcome everyone to the gathering! I will start. RainClan has recovered well from leafbare. We have two new apprentices, Rabbitpaw and Squirrelpaw. Like everyone in the valley Newleaf is a great time for us and we look forward to Greenleaf as well," Stormstar's voice was strong and carried well. He waited for a moment before stepping back to let another leader speak. DimstarDimstar's own attention remained on his rival leaders. He paid little attention to them as they arrived but did greet each of them respectfully. Stormstar moved past him and Dimstar let his ears flick to show that he was was listening. The large RainClan leader spoke proudly about his clan before stepping back. Once Stormstar returned to his spot, Dimstar stood up. He waited until everyone's attention shifted to him before clearing his throat. "We have a new medicine cat apprentice. Shadowpaw had decided to walk the sacred path of a healer. Newleaf has rejuvenated our territory and we continue to remain strong. His words were carefully chosen before he returned to his place and waited for Lionstar to go.

As both enigmatic toms took turns saying their piece, Lionstar listened, calm and collected on the high rock. He was just now noticing that the genders had been rather skewed since Timberstar's and Ravenstar's death; now Firestar, who seemed to be nursing an injury, was all that was left of the female figureheads. Wanting to address the border issues before Firestar had the chance to, Lionstar took initiative after Dimstar returned to his spot. "TreeClan has been prosperous this newleaf. Our nursery is full, and our apprentices' den is about to be even fuller." Lionstar smiled. "Expect to see some new faces at the next gathering. Now, on to more serious matters. "The latest bout of rain has ruined a few scent lines, but everyone can rest assured that TreeClan will be renewing them religiously." Lionstar's eyes narrowed coolly at LightningClan. "To avoid further incident."Having two injured apprentices was punishment enough, thought Lionstar, but with Firestar's limp and the antsiness of StoneClan, he was beginning to suspect that the LightningClan matriarch was trying to overstep her boundaries. TreeClan would maintain their hold on the open woods. To show that he was finished, Lionstar took a few steps back, and watched over his own Clan, keeping an eye on things to make sure their current displeasure with LightningClan didn't... get vocalized. leader of TreeClan

Firestar turned to better focus on each other leader the spoke before her. She wasn't overly concerned with events in RainClan or NightClan. They didn't share a border and Swanfeather was the only connection to RainClan. From what she understood of the events the played out in RainClan, Swanfeather had been exiled. Her indifference to RainClan and NightClan was quickly pushed aside when Lionstar stood to talk about TreeClan.
Her ears tilted to pick up on every word that came from the golden tom of TreeClan. Hearing of new kits always made Firestar grateful for Newleaf even if they were rival kits. The cats in the nursery were the future of all the Clans, their legacy. Lionstar mentioned the border had Firestar nodding in approval. She had already moved one border and in her current condition she wasn't about to move another.
As Lionstar's update came to an end Firestar rose up to take his place.
"LightingClan is recovering quickly from Leafbare but we did have an incident recently. A badger attacked a group of cats hunting, I among them. We managed to chase off the creature but we weren't able to kill it. The badger is still a threat in the valley. Keep an eye out for it," She meowed before flicking her short tail to signal she was done. She returned to her spot and waited for Hawkstar to give his update.

Hawkstar may your dreams be larger than mountains The large sand-brown tom listened as the other leaders shared their Clans' news. Having arrived last, Hawkstar readly accepted his spot as final leader to speak, waiting patiently until Firestar stepped forward. His ears pricked, first at the sound of a cough from down below, though he was quickly distracted from it at the mention of a badger attack on LightningClan. That would explain her still-healing wound. He thought to himself, pale amber eyes flicking over it almost critically as he listened. A sharp flick of the calico leader's short tail signaled she was finished, and the broad shouldered StoneClan figurehead moved to take her place.
Settling his large paws near the rock's edge, he swept his gaze across the gathered cats, finding his voice before calling out. "StoneClan is pleased to hear Newleaf is treating the other Clans as well as it is treating us." He opened, his tail moving slowly behind him. "As with NightClan, Dawnblossom now guides a new set of paws on the path to being medicine cat. Sandpaw has begun his training, and hopes to serve StoneClan in the role of healer." As he spoke, his gaze landed on the lanky tom, a reassuring smile just visible on his features before he continued.
"StoneClan is proud to announce two new warriors in our ranks. Although they are not present here today, Honeynose and Cricketspring have earned their places as warriors. Our nursery holds two new faces as well, eager to charge down the path to warriorhood in their turn." His ear flicked then, and he glanced over one shoulder to Firestar. "News of a badger in LightningClan is troubling. StoneClan thanks you for delivering the message. We will be diligent, so as to avoid confronting it. StoneClan has nothing further to share."
Side stepping slightly, he turned to observe the four other leaders. "Anything more?" He inquired politely. When no one stepped forward, Hawkstar turned to face the Gathering attendees once more. "This concludes tonight's Gathering. Safe travels on the return journey to all, and may StarClan light your paths." With one final nod to the other leaders, the StoneClan tom waved his tail and signaled for Wolfclaw to begin regrouping StoneClan, before descending from StarClan's Claws with a familiar ease. leader of stoneclan and may you have the courage to scale their summits background image | harley king | Fawn Hellion | table by phoenix
Note: Fawn okayed me ending this in my post! As discussed in the c-box, this concludes the Gathering's 'official' thread. However, players are still welcome, and very much encouraged to continue starting and interacting in threads taking place before the leaders began speaking, until June 6th! So mentors and apprentices attending, get those Gathering threads out of the way! Others, have your cats interact with outside Clans! It's a great way to further character development, and it's a lot of fun!
I'm done advertising now, I swear
