[Galestar's face went from serious to annoyed in a matter of seconds. Before even a few moments on the island, Stripedwhisker and Firepaw were yowling up a storm. He stalked over to them, his fur raised, and said in a low tone, "What did I say about staying as quite as possible? This is supposed to be a secret gathering and you two are yowling enough to match three queens in labor-which apparently explains even more, Firepaw, since you seem to think you're pregnant. I'm only asking this one more time; please be quiet! If you make too much noise, you're not only putting BreezeClan in danger, but also every Clan who is coming!" [He blinked at them with strong urgency and pleading in his eyes, exasperation falling across his face, before he turned away, shaking his head. He could understand they were nervous, but sometimes those two did the most illogical things. It baffled him...]

"To live is to slowly be born."_____________________________Embergaze_____________________________[Embergaze padded into the island, shaking his paws absentmindedly to get the wetness off of them. His scorching eyes rested on Galestar, a curious glint in them. Why did he ask Mapleleaf to stay behind with Serpentfang? he wondered. Did he think she wasn't strong enough to fight...? No...no, he wouldn't think that. He knows Serpentfang can fight well too. He cares for Serpentfang, so maybe-no, he'd have left Frostclaw behind with them too...so why...? Maybe he was just picking from the warriors who would do the job well at random? Still, Embergaze felt some relief. Mapleleaf was safe. That was something he could count on wholeheartedly; the Slayers would target the Gathering, not two she-cats on the shore. He didn't think he'd be able to bear living if Mapleleaf was not alive.
But what a depressing thought! There he went again, focusing on death rather than life! He shook his head to clear his thoughts. No more of that! He would keep his vow to live life at its fullest. He sighed and padded in the middle of the clearing, his eyes surveying his Clanmates. He was so very very anxious and nervous; his pelt prickled and he shifted on his paws. Keeping still was impossible when you had to be on guard at all times-! He turned to look for Cherrydrop, a hopefully new friend. He had managed to muster up some courage to speak with her a few days ago and now was hoping to become her friend. He felt like an apprentice learning his first battle moves; clumsy and awkward! But he had been such a recluse before that he had almost no social skills, so this was just a process in becoming a new Embergaze!]

When life knocks you down FIREPAW _______ [Stripewhisker looked up at Galestar, as he scolded Firepaw and him for yowling. He shot a glance over at the calico apprentice next to him, and looked back up at his leader.]"Sorry, Galestar. Blame the idiot next to me, please."
[Firepaw glanced at Stripewhisker, who had put all the blame on him.]"Sorry, I'm just trying to prove a point!"[He said, before turning his attention to Galestar.]"I think I'm gonna have to move into the nursery soon. I'm getting huger everyday! Like, a little while ago I was so much smaller then this. But I think It's just a growth spurt or something. Ooh maybe I'll have like, ten kits because of how fat I am! Yayyy I'm gonna be the first tom to ever have kits! I don't even have a mate!"[He began bouncing up and down, and around Stripewhisker. The warrior just sighed and shook his head.]
"What can I say, friends are friends until the end.- Oh, hey Joyfeather! Uh, I was trying to quiet him down.. Not working out so well. Yeah, uh, he keeps boasting to me about stuff." Just get back up when it knocks you down [ooc: ]

[Galestar nodded to Joyfeather, humor returning to his eyes, and blinked at Firepaw.] "What an interesting father you'll make," he purred warmly, rolling his eyes. "You must excuse me now," he added, standing, "I have other things to attend to. Make sure he doesn't give birth in front of everyone, Stripedwhisker." [He padded away, searching for Moonpaw and Frostclaw. He wanted to make sure his mate (and apprentice) were safe as well and would prefer to be as close to them during the Gathering as possible. He spotted Moonpaw and padded over to him, eyes glowing. Moonpaw had done well during the past two days in training. They hardly had any practice for hunting, so battle had been the top priority. Though Galestar often had to leave to attend to leader duties, Moonpaw had progressed well, though it was tough work. They had trained at every free opportunity either of them got, and two-or rather, three days, since this was the night of the third day!- had taken its toll on Moonpaw. Galestar had almost had to force him to eat to keep up his strength. It was hard to train on an empty belly, but Moonpaw wasn't much of a complainer.]
"How are you feeling?" he asked worriedly, sniffing his apprentice's head.

~Cherrydrop~ Mentor of Breezeclan When life gives you cherries...
[ Cherrydrop silently took the memory of the gathering into her head. Before it had been barely recognizable and and covered with bloodshed. Her eyes trailed and stopped when she saw Embergaze, who was possibly her new friend. She didn't know it or not, but she walked up to him anyways. She felt shy immediately, after a split second. She could only stutter out; ] " H-hi."
... It's perfect!

"To live is to slowly be born."_____________________________Embergaze_____________________________[Embergaze flicked his ears as Cherrydrop approached, terror filling him for a moment as he frantically thought of what he was supposed to say. He told himself to calm down, trying to mask his feelings with a calm look (but ended up looking like he had a thorn stuck in his paw). It didn't help that she-cats made him fidgety! He nodded to her casually, swallowing the lump in his throat.] "Hey," he said softly in his deep, gruff voice, flinching inwardly and self-consciously at it. "Looks like BreezeClan's the first one here...and StarClan doesn't seem too happy." He glanced up at the gloomy sky, adding, "I wonder if they approve of this meeting or not?" [Almost looks as if they're telling us to stay away, he thought nervously to himself. What am I doing? he realized, don't bring up something so gloomy!] "H-how is training with Fallinpaw?" he stuttered, quickly changing the subject. "D-did you get a chance to train her for the past three days or h-have you been working?" He hastily added, "I've been swamped with h-hunting and border patrols as w-well as taking care of the elders-not that I'm complaining. I j-just thought, y'know, it must be harder to have an aprentice...too..." [He sat awkwardly, feeling like he was a huge idiot. Why did he have to be so astranged from his clanmates like this? Why did he stutter all the time? Why was his voice so deep?! But I have to accept those things, he thought, if I'm ever going to live happily. Okay, he reasoned, I can do it. If she's a good cat she won't exploit or bully me for it. If she does, I know she wouldn't have been a good friend anyway. There. Not a big deal at all... Still, he hoped she wouldn't bully him...that would be very sad. :c ]

 Even if a snake is not poisonous...__________________________________________________________
[Serpentfang wandered into the gathering silently as a mouse as she emerged out of the shadows that hid her so well. Her bright emerald eyes scanned the area to see that her clan was the only one to have arrived so far. Her eyes caught sight of Embergaze and Cherrydrop. Embergaze seemed to be deep in thought as she quietly slinked over to his side. She sat next to him and smiled sweetly as she flicked the tip of her tail in greeting.]
"Its good to see that everyone made it here with no troubles. How are you feeling Embergaze, Cherrydrop? Are you just as nervous as Serpentfang? She is sure that things will turn out ok..."
[She lied. The memories of seeing her clan come back from the last gathering to hear that they were attacked by eagles, foxes, snakes and badger like creatures! Now they had much worse to worry about, giant wildcats. Nervously she fiddle with her toes.]
Starclan help us....

"To live is to slowly be born."_____________________________Embergaze_____________________________[Embergaze twitched his ears as Serpentfang approached, feeling a bit more relaxed to have a friend he knew well enter the conversation. He felt a bit guilty about it, but then that just confused him more so he simply accepted it, relaxing in composure.] "Yeah, I'm fine," Embergaze assured her, letting his tail touch her back with compassion. "You must be worried about Ravenpaw, but don't be too worried- she's had a great mentor and I'm sure she'll fight well. She's almost ready to become a warrior after all.."
[Embergaze couldn't help mentioning apprentices. He longed for one, though it brought much pain with his past failures (as he saw them). He wished he could relate to them, especially Serpentfang, who had now almost finished mentoring her apprentice. He had only gotten halfway or less with his previous two apprentices; Oakpaw, his first, had run away, returned, and then disappeared again (presumably dead because of the blood trail they found) and Smokepaw had been presumably murdered or drowned by/with his kin, Dicefoot. Embergaze blamed himself for both tragedies and felt like he was a taboo to any apprentice. His own mentor had died before his time!
Yet Embergaze continued to ask others about their apprentices because he so desperately wanted to succeed at mentoring one. He guessed that the apprentices themselves probably thought he was a bad mentor too and didn't want him as a mentor...but asking about the other apprentices and mentors was his way of showing remorse and wistfulness. He hoped it wasn't obvious, and that he wasn't putting them on the spot by asking. But he became too tired to even care at this point, feeling a haggard resignment fall over him. What would it matter? The Clans were on the verge of being wiped out-everyone knew it. They could all be killed by these Slayers. This gathering was their last chance at planning some sort of final attempt at life-but he knew Galestar would be forced to leave the Clan's forests in an attempt to save everyone if all else failed.
And then it would all be over.]

 In matters of style, swim with the current; In matters of principle, stand like a rock.  "It takes courage, To grow up and become who you really are" [The air was thick with worry around the new SeaClan leader. She had the utmost confidence in her clan and warriors -it still felt odd to think of the clan that way- and knew they would be alright. She had ample warriors, though some had given their lives for the good of others, those she still had, and valued, where the most skill. Both warriors and queens had been rained excellently by their old mentors and the apprentices showed much promise. Heck, even the kits had fight in them! She peered around at her surroundings. The bugs she hadn't noticed before now seemed louder and more numerous than ever. Perhaps it was the sense of destruction that floated in the air. Did they knew something was coming? Surely an insect couldn't comprehend something such as this. Shiftstar shook her head to clear it and her tail lashed from side to side as she neared the secret Gathering.]
(Ehem...short post T^T)   To be nobody but yourself in a world That's doing its best to make you somebody else, Is to fight the hardest battle You are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting. Patience is the companion of wisdom
 Frostclaw
[Frostclaw sat in unease, glancing around nervously. The vulnerability due to her right eye was something she had begun to cope with, but with danger ever present it seemed her mind was going backwards into the safety of itself. She would fight and with all her might, but she wouldn't know what to do if her opponent learned of her disability. The silver she cat raised her head at a semi-familiar scent. It wafted through her nose and into her mind, setting off alarms that she had placed in her brain many, many moons ago. Ever muscle, ever cell in her screamed at her to attack the 'intruder.' She knew she couldn't. It was a gathering they had all agreed to, they wouldn't fight and Frostclaw wouldn't dare attack a leader during a Gathering, secret or not.]
"Galestar." she said, leaning and whispering in his ear with a flick of her tail.
[Her mate was concerned about Moonpaw, and rightfully so. The twins had been pushed far beyond their limits the last few nights and days. Every moment was for training. Even sleeping Frostclaw prepared herself as her dreams were filled with battle. The she-cat flicked an ear and looked toward the SeaClan territory. Already she could see the two-toned pelt that was Shiftstar. The she-cat hadn't waited and checked the area out first as many leaders did. If it had been an ambush, she would have lead her warriors into a trap. It was pitiful and angered the silver warrior.]

Do gales of peace blow out the flames or spread them faster on their way? GriffonseaFemale | Warrior | Single | Bio | Storyteller Lost and foundforsake me nowor let me return home![Griffonsea padded over the gathering after the swarm of SeaClan cats, her blue eyes dull again. She was matted with blood-soaked in it, actually- and cats turned to gasp at her and the other few Clanmates also covered in the sticky stuff. Murmurs of confusion and panic rose above the throng. Griffonsea beelined straight for Shiftstar, her tail dragging along the ground.]
"The Slayer is dead," she said bluntly. "He came stumbling across the territory, Somebody did him in badly and we finished him off." [Without waiting for a response, she turned sharply and padded away, swaying a bit as she walked. Warriors fanned out of her way, giving her a clear path to walk through until she chose a spot at the edge of the throng, out of view of the leaders. She gave no indication that she cared and flopped to the ground, not moving. If it weren't for the fact that she was breathing, one would assume she was dead.
But maybe she was. Maybe she was.]
((...EMOOO QAQ )) I want to stay freeso bring to methe endless spray of foam!Perhaps I'll defeat your fiery flames or lose myself among the fray.

 In matters of style, swim with the current; In matters of principle, stand like a rock.  "It takes courage, To grow up and become who you really are" [Shiftstar nearly jumped from her skin when Griffonsea spoke. She had heard the quiet voices of her clan, but disregarded it as worried whispers. It seems she had been wrong. She whirled around and bit back a look of horror. Griffonsea was covered in blood. Had she done something she would regret? No, it was impossible. Griffonsea would never betray the clan.
Though hadn't Shiftstar and Moss-star thought the same about Foxfire? Was it truly impossible? The short explanation that the warrior offered soothed Shiftstar's worries. She nodded quickly.]
"Thank you Griffonsea."
[She had leverage now. Something to tell the other leaders that were waiting for her. The new leader took the last steps toward the Gathering and sat an acceptable distance from the BreezeClan leader.]
"Galestar." she greeted with a curt nod.  To be nobody but yourself in a world That's doing its best to make you somebody else, Is to fight the hardest battle You are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.

The only entrance and the only exit, unless you were a SeaClan cat. She blinked dubiously. Somehow, it felt as if they were all digging their own graves. Was it really wise to meet at such a vunerable spot? The dark, aged leader sighed. There was nothing they could do now.
Lavenderstar set one paw out on the large, sturdy log cautiously, gradually pressing all of her weight down onto it. It didn't budge. With a relieved sigh, she skittered [hahaha] across it. It took about a minute to reach the other side. That was to be expected though, since it was a pretty big log. Lavenderstar hesitated at the edge, looking back at her Clan. She motioned them over, waiting at the other end as they followed her over. She quickly padded to the fallen tree, leaping up to sit next to Galestar. She stared down at the mixture of BreezeClan and NightClan cats; warriors, kits, queens, and elders alike. Anyone could agree that these were odd circumstances. After a long moment, Lavenderstar turned to Galestar, nodding curtly.] "Greetings, Galestar."

[Galestar blinked as his mate spoke his name, turning to her with a purr in his throat. She didn't have to say more-he could see the worried and anxious look in her eyes. He rubbed his head against her cheek, openly showing his affection for her, and licked her head, eyes blinking kindly at her.] "Do not worry, love," he murmured softly. "Everything will be alright. We'll get through this together."
[His attention was caught as Shiftstar (as he could assume she was now called) made her way into the clearing. He nodded to her warmly, acceptance shining in his crystal eyes. Twitching his tail, he returned his gaze to Frostclaw just as gasps of surprise swept across the clearing. Switching his eyes once more, he caught sight of a bloodied she-cat making her way over to Shiftstar. He'd never seen the she-cat before, at any of the previous gatherings, and he narrowed his eyes with suspicion. More bloody cats followed, glancing about wearily. The she-cat blatantly meowed about how a Slayer was killed and then slunk off, a dead look in her eyes. She looks like she was hit by a truck, he thought. He was captivated by her ((in a non-romantic way)) and the feelings that jumbled around her like a wild storm. He walked straight for her, padding up to her and peering at her as she laid silently on the ground. The cats around him peered at them with curiosity but did not intrude or protest. He prodded her side with his paw and she turned lethargically, glancing at him with dead eyes. Her pupils were sharp and thin, indicating she was not focused on her surroundings or even him.]
"What happened to you?" he asked clearly and with a commanding air. She glanced down at her blood-covered pelt and began dully, "Slayer-" "No, not that," he interrupted, eyes glinting knowingly, and repeated. "What happened to you?" [Now he caught her attention. Her pupils dialated and her breath caught in her throat. Life returned to her face- a mixture of surprise and fear crossed over her face.] "My mother died," she murmured. "Twice." [He flicked his ears, slightly confused, but waited silently for her to continue.] After hesitating, she went on, "Foampoppy was killed by illness and Moss-star died by drowning."
[Galestar raised his chin a little and blinked softly, tilting his head.] "Foampoppy," he breathed softly, "I haven't heard that name in moons. Not since Moss-star announced she and her daughter and disappeared..." [Griffonsea stared at him now, wincing with pain and remorse.] "So you are Moss-star's long-lost daughter?" [Griffonsea stared at her paws, flattening her ears as a wave of embarrassment washed over her.] "Newfound daughter," she corrected, closing her eyes in pain.
"She's watching," he told her. She looked up at him sharply and he continued, "She's always watching. Don't let her see what shouldn't be seen." He nodded, adding, "My name is Galestar. Pleased to meet you. Now, I hope you get better."
[Then he padded away, simple as that, returning to his Clanmates. Griffonsea watched him leave with shock and a bit of confusion. Then, slowly, she stood to her feet, glancing around as if she had just realized where she was, and returned to her Clanmates, sitting with a much more awake and alive look about her.]
[Galestar turned to Lavenderstar, nodding.] "And greetings to you, Lavenderstar," he said cheerfully. "Thank you for telling me of this plan to begin with. I hope your trip to the Moonpool was safe and without incident, Shiftstar?" [He turned to the new leader, eyes shimmering.]
(( Galestar detected her emotional instability and immediately went to correct it, and meet a new frand. He's like Dr.Phil but yonger, a cat, and with a flying obsession. >8I ohgod now I imagine him as a hairless cat with glasses and a goatee EW Here's why it worked; Griffonsea is a cat who isn't constantly suspicious of strangers. If he tried that on Guardianvow, he'd get his ears clawed off |D Griffonsea and Galestar are alike enough that they'd be great friends if they weren't in differnt Clans, so I thought he could at least give her hope. :U And I like to try and build relationships between my charas. ^^ only Guardianvow has no care for the other ones xD ))

 In matters of style, swim with the current; In matters of principle, stand like a rock.  "It takes courage, To grow up and become who you really are" [Shiftstar turned an ear toward the sounds of many paw steps. NightClan had arrived. With a hopeful glow to her eyes she turned her head and watched them assemble by their leader. If she hadn't had her whole clan there, she would have felt threatened and disappointed by a leader bringing kits to such an important, and dangerous meeting.
With a deep and calming breath and SeaClan leader turned toward her own clan. To the nearest warrior she instructed that all remain quiet for the duration of the gathering. She had gone over it during the trip, but reminders would help the little ones be calm.
Shiftstar turned back. She thought for a moment about her trip to the Moonpool hadn't been completely without incident. She had stopped along the way to two clans and had jumped at nearly every shadow. It had been unlike her. With being nervous about receiving her lives, leading her clan, helping divert the disaster and trying to maintain her calmness filling each breath it had felt as though she were suffocating. A large weight had been lifted after attaining her nine lives and 'averting the disaster' she hoped would be even slightly easier with the help and guidance of the other clans.]
"It was safe, yes." she said.
[If Galestar wished to know why it hadn't been without incident, he would need to pry. He would need to dig under several layers she had built up to keep her demeanor intact, even then she would probably downplay just what had worried and slowed her.]   To be nobody but yourself in a world That's doing its best to make you somebody else, Is to fight the hardest battle You are ever going to fight. Never stop fighting.
