Relief washed over the ebony tom, he had been met by the clans with fewer mixed feelings than by his own clanmates. The young tom shifted his paws, the dark clouds massing on the horizon couldn't be good. All he wanted was to get back to camp and see Silentleopard, his mate.]
[Moving away from the leaders, however, Falconwind caught sight of Tigerfang, the cat who was most open about opposing the younger cat's new found role as deputy. It was true, however, that Tigerfang was a senior warrior when Falconwind was still just a kit in the nursery. Tigerfang had also never had an apprentice whom she fully trained on her own. Some that Falconwind wasn't sure if the grumpy tabby she-cat know, though, was that Falconwind was also half-clan; that probably enraged the aging queen.]
[Taking a deep breath, the NightClan deputy took his chances and padded up to the cat who he feared and respected (by always keeping his distance) Tigerfang. Dipping his head as politely as he could managed, Falconwind waited for the senior warrior to acknowledge him first before speaking.]

L o s t p a w"You think that just because I can't hear you most of the time that I can't make a good warrior?! That's where you're wrong! I will be the best warrior SeaClan has ever seen!"_____________________________________________________________________________ [Lostpaw wriggled into the gathering, his white fur standing on end. This was terrifying! He barely knew what was going on or what he was supposed to do! The only way that he had even the faintest idea was that Swiftstar's yowls had gained his attention.]
[There were cats everywhere, chatting, gathering in groups, or secluding themselves from everyone else. What was he supposed to do? Twitching his whiskers, the nearly deaf apprentice searched for his sister, Lotuspaw, he's been separated from he in the run from camp and now he couldn't find her! However, the tiny white tom refused to make a peep, keeping low to the ground, at the back of the gathering, all that could really be seen of him were his differently colored eyes reflecting the light of the moon.]
[Fluffing up, so as to look bigger, Lostpaw hunkered down, feeling very lost and alone. He didn't recognize anyone! What was he supposed to do! Panic. Like a wave crashing onto the ocean cliffs of SeaClan. A wave of panic rolled over Lostpaw. His ears lay flat against his scull as he whipped in head around searching, searching, for his clanmates and his sister. Small pitiful whimpers escaped from the apprentice. He was lost, just as his name implied!]

 ♨Freezeshadow♨ XI'm tired of being what you want me to be. Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes Every step that I take is another mistake to you... x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x [Freezeshadow's eyes scanned the clearing as he entered. The scents of the other three clans wreathed around him, making him feel sick. He already longed for the overpowering smell of Seaclan. Though he ignored his own problems. But maybe it wasn't that he wanted to go back to his clan, maybe it was that things had changed over the past 9 moons. More kits were probably born, new medicine cats were appointed...as were leaders. Freezeshadow would no longer hear the familiar voice of Moss-star. All her words would be within Shiftstar, now.] I will just have to cope with change, it shall not interfere with my duties to my clan. [He told himself bitterly, trying to snap out of his depressed state.]
[His attention was brought to Lostpaw, hearing his whimpering was distracting his thoughts. It was annoying. Embarrassing, even. Lostpaw was a Seaclan apprentice, he was apart of Seaclan. If anyone else heard him crying out like a lost kit, they would think Seaclan was incapable of caring for their own apprentices. Freezeshadow stalked over to the white apprentice, recognizing him easily because of his different colored eyes. He wrapped his fluffy gray tail around his muzzle, bending his head to Lostpaw's ears.] "Stop whimpering. I know this is your first time here, but you must act strong for the clan you live for. Do not let your emotions rule over your actions, as you are right now. Try and act like you at least belong here and didn't just happen to wander here instead." [His voice was calm, but it was edged with bitterness.] He wants the comforts of someone familiar...just as I do... [He let out a heavy sigh and released the hold he had on Lostpaw's muzzle with his tail. Freezeshadow didn't know it, but he also wanted to feel as if things were still the same, as they once were.] x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-xI've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you. Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control...X

E N V Y F E A T H E Rof Nightclan[The moon appeared dim as dark clouds slowly advanced onto the pretty thing, causing the young she-warrior to blink with distaste, the things were covering her precious night sky. Envyfeather constantly wavered in and out of reality, her deep sky blue eyes relatively focused on the clouding sky. She couldn’t help but frown, why was Starclan displeased? They had done nothing wrong… The she-cat was no medicine-cat, but she thought of this as some kind of warning or perhaps…an omen. Envyfeather turned her attention away, dismissing the unpleasant thoughts with a twitch of a dark brown ear. With tail curled neatly around her sienna brown paws, Envyfeather focused her attention on Foxstar as he reported. Everything was fine…in her clan, for others anyways. She noticed a faint glimmer of pain from Shimmerstep, a clanmate of hers who was indeed close by. Envyfeather gently tilted her head to the side, emotion void of her once cheerful features.] What was wrong with her? Why should I care? Why…she…s-she is my clanmate…of course I should care….but… [Envyfeather nagged at herself so desperately check on her, the she-cat forced her puppet like legs to move forward, approaching the pretty bengal she-cat with a delicate…no, graceful manner. She tried her best to muster up any lost emotion, she wanted to appear gentle and concerned, she really did.] ”S-Shimmerstep… I-Is everything…alright? [Silently did Envyfeather scold herself for sounding so soft and shaky, she was very afraid of talking to others, she was afraid…of them.] E B O N Y L I G H Tof Breezeclan[Like usual, the ebony tom known as Ebonylight, never really paid awareness at gatherings, his golden eyes constantly flashing in the reflection of the moonlit area. He especially didn’t try to accumulate his behavior since the cat he was indeed in love with, Serpentfang, was no where to be seen. A flash of anger lingered in those beautiful honey dew eyes, he disliked Galestar’s choice of not selecting the gorgeous olive tinted she-warrior for the Gathering. Oh well, the coal painted warrior would not do anything of the sort to question his leader, loyalty was something he treasured. His startling gaze then flickered towards the sky, everything looked…morose. He frowned and looked away, beginning to deepen his thoughts. He only took his eyes off of his paws to watch other cats from differing clans approach the island; the different scents utterly disgusted him. Anyways, he dismissed those feelings without delay; there were more important things to flock over.] The moon was muted…how strange, especially since it’s a full moon. What’s in store for the clans? Ugh, why should I care? It’s the higher up’s problem, not mine. Still…. [Ebonylight hissed to himself, under his breath of course, why was he worrying so much? It was just some little storm….right?] M O O N B L A Z Eof Stormclan[The moon filtered weak rays of light through the clouding skies, some of that precious night luminosity lit the pelt of a certain snowy white medicine cat, coating her silky soft pelt in star kissed starling silver. She practically mirrored one of Starclan, to stunning for this rather horrid world. The she-cat had a bond closer to Starclan then most cats, even medicine cats. But, the young white cat had a very troubled look spreading across that pretty mottled face. Her striking crystal blue eyes had become inexplicably clouded with depths of liquid emotion and horror. The memories of her last visit to the ancient and wondrous Moonpool preoccupied her mind often; her heart yearned for the safety of the clans. Though, she fleetingly broke the deep thoughts by congratulating her previous apprentice, Fadinghorizon, her attention was again directed to the sky. This wasn’t right, by any means. The clans were at, somewhat, peace with each other, at the moment. Why was the sky so…dreary? An omen seemed to perforate at her paws like needle. Her spirit tugged at her heart, something was wrong. The medicine-cat thought she could here her past leader’s voice, that haunting yet beautiful muse of the ivory colored she-cat, Snowstar, but the words seemed to echo like a ghostly song within her thoughts. Her eyes began to glaze over with terrible fear and worry…a cat close by could have witnessed her expressions with much bewilderment. Snow-white fur lit by stray rays of light…piercing sapphire eyes that burn into the soul… A nightmare and a plea only she could witness. ’Beware the stone!

 ♈ σcєαимιsт
"If gods the game that You're playing, well we must be more acquainted,"
[Oceanmist felt slightly embarrassed when her name had been mentioned. She didn't know exactly what to do at the moment, and instead let other cheer while she sat there. Oceanmist wasn't too fond of the gathering place. This is where her father died. It was where she watched him die. It was also the site where many others died that day. The horrid day when the slayers attacked during the blue moon. Sighing, she looked up at the stars. The newly named medicine cat wondered if her father and Cloudfang were looking down on her.] "If you guys are watching, are you proud of me?" [She asked mentally, turning her attention back to the leaders. Sharkhail sat near by, alone of course.]
"Because it must be so lonely, to be the only one who's holy."

Fadinghorizon
[The young she-cat padded calmly into the clearing and glanced around. Likea always, the gathering was bustling with activity. Her eyes traveled over to the leaders and she spotted Foxfur in Lavenderstar's place. Oh no... the NightClan leader couldn't be dead. The tabby medicine cat hung her head as Foxstar's report confirmed her fear. It must be terrible to lose a leader, Fadinghorizon remembered the grief she had gone through when her close friend, and past deputy, Cindermoon had died. The she-cat snapped herself from her throughts and wandered over to sit with the other medicine cats, next to Moonblaze. She listened silently as each leader gave their reports, sitting up straighter as Silverstar spoke of her, yet something still felt off. She glanced around and immediatly realized what was wrong. Someone was missing.]
Turning to her mentor, Fadinghorizon whispered, "Moonblaze, where is Hauntedheart?"
[The young medicine cat had spoken to the NightClan medicine cat mutliple times and the two had grown to be good friends. Fadinghorizon valued her advice and wisdom. It felt odd not having the smokey gray she-cat sitting next to her, whispering, or sometimes hissing, comments in her ear. NightClan was here but maybe something was wrong with Hauntedheart, yet wouldn't Foxstar have said something if that was true. Shrugging her darker thoughts off, she turned her blue gaze toward her mentor again, patiently waiting for her answer.]

 B e a r p a w
[Bearpaw sat right next to his sister, having barely any room between the two. His first gathering, of course he'd be slightly scared. You know, unknown cats at the place talking to him. Maybe an opportunity for friends would come along. Poking at Poisepaw's side, Bearpaw pressed his muzzle into her ear to speak.]"We should go find other apprentices and talk to them."[He suggested, trying to be the braver of the two siblings. His father and mother were back in camp. The only cats he knew here were his clanmates.]

She looked up to see her new deputy, Falconwind standing next to her. What was he doing here? Tigerfang would have a fit if he had the audacity to order her around. But she pushed those thoughts away, her grief for Slatekit overwhelming those emotions and spreading through her body like a disease.]
She lifted a paw to hopefully wipe away some of the water that had begun to gather in her eyes, then said roughly to him, "G-Good evening, Falconwind..."

[I chuckled at Marblewing's comment. Not because it was funny, well, I guess it was, a little. But she was right, the ginger Stormclan warrior did have a pretty name. It fit her well, her heart was as soft as a feather and it seemed, easily broken. I gave Featherheart a nod of thanks when she nudged me. Otherwise, I would have probably kept right on talking. It seemed I wasn't paying much attention today. I shook my head at the mention of six kits. That was a pawful. I felt anything, but congratulations for the leader. Instead, my heart reached out for Tigerfang. She had three, and lost one. I sighed and pushed this thought away. I would be extra careful to be nice to the queen.] [Afterwards, I turned to Featherheart again.] "No mate? Really? I would have thought you'd have one by now..." [I mused.] "Well...

P o i s e p a w[The young she-cat stumbled into the clearing, following her guide, Bearpaw. Poisepaw gazed around, amazed at how many cats there were. It was her first ever gathering, she was quite nervous to be there but excited to be able to meet other cats. Her mother and father weren't able to join the clan at the gathering, but she would surely tell then all about. Even if it took all night. Turning at Bearpaw's voice drift into her eardrum, she nodded firmly and pushed herself up from her sitting position.] "Lets go find some Stormclan apprentices! I want to know what their like.." [She meowed loudly, enough for the cats around them to hear. As some turned their heads toward her, she looked down and sighed sadly. Being half-deaf was horrible, she would never be able to hear rabbits moving in the moors, even if they were five fox-tails away. It saddened her, but she would try her hardest to become a great warrior. Touching her brother's shoulder with the tip of her tail, she began to make her way over to an apprentice that was sitting next to Stormclan's deputy.. Thunderflight?] "Oh, lets go meet him!" [Poisepaw meowed, trying to make her voice the normal volume.]

She found herself pondering these things as Silverstar spoke for Stormclan. Her name was pretty. This was starting to bother her, she had to figure out if this she-cat was being serious. She had breathed it out, but was that of sincerity, or was she being sarcastic.] ... [Finally, after Silverstar finished, Feaϯherɧeart turned to Marblewing.] "Were you serious?" [She asked bluntly, not holding the question back. Normally, she would ask it softly, but now, she just had to know before she went crazy. To keep that from happening, she focused her attention on Starkcloud's musing.] "No... I like to think that maybe me and Oaktail would have gotten somewhere, if not, really good friends. You remember, at the Gathering we were attacked? That handsome tabby that joined me, you and Skywisker?" [The ginger warrior meowed softly, and it was true, she liked to think that they would have gotten somewhere. And if nowhere else, that they would have become really good friends.] "But other than him... Toms don't really spend that much time with me... So, no... no mate" [Feaϯherɧeart finished, shaking off the sadness that came to her when she thought of him. She brightened a bit at the mention of her apprentice.] "Dustpaw. He is..." [She searched the crowd and finally spotted him. Nodding over to his position, she meowed.] "He's the tom with the really fluffy tail sitting beside Thunderflight." [Feaϯherɧeart blinked her violet-blue eyes and sighed, curling her tail around her paws. She looked around and watched the apprentices mill around. The pretty ginger warrior busied her mind trying to figure out what kind of parents they came from. How they became mates, stuff like that. She was doing a good job with it, until she realized that she was just depressing herself. So, sighing, Feaϯherɧeart turned her head back to Starkcloud and Marblewing.] (( Our Two Bits: )) ↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪ ═══════════════I'm waiting for the moonlight So I can find you In this perfect dream Don't think that you can Hide there in the shadows Dude your not invisible Your all that I can see═══════════════ Somethings changing deep inside All my hopes are comin' alive As we're fading into the night I can see your eyes ═══════════════ Your all that I can see And my heart slows down

Painted souls that streak the sky StarClan
[The storm rolled in as the Clans conversed. The leaders stared up at it with wide eyes, seemingly frozen in place. The end of the Gathering was not called; the leaders were focused on the storm, seemingly trying to perceive its message. Soon it became clear; it was a warning. Thunder exploded in the sky, shaking the very ground. In but a few moments, the sky was completely blocked by the dark black storm clouds. The moon was completely hidden from view, and its light entirely extinguished. Another clap of thunder- and in that instant, a thick bolt of lightning shot from the sky, hitting the spot just in front of the leaders. Galestar leapt back with a startled yowl, and Foxstar, snarled in surprise. Shiftstar was too shocked for words, but all of their fur stood on end. The spot in front of them was black and charred. Something all the leaders noticed, however, was that the charred spot where the lightning had struck smelled like burning flesh.
In the next instant, the skies erupted.
Rain flooded down as if a river had been opened upon the world. It smashed into the disgruntled cats below, roaring in their ears and blinding them.
In the mayhem, silvery forms flitted through the trees. (( Only leaders/med cats can see of course.)) They watched with silent, sorrowful eyes, the stars at their feet dimly glowing. They said in unison:
Colours abound and colours abode Promises made and promises sold Skies will weep sorrow's turn as the listful lands learn to burn.
Torrents unleashed when tempestuous sleep floods by in tomorrow's keep we cannot stop what we cannot see open your eyes and find the key!
[Lavenderstar herself stepped forward to Foxstar, visible to the other leaders.] She hissed ominously, "Beware the rocks that move! They are not what they seem; teeth will find the wand'rer soon. Lure it away into the deep lest it devours all!"
[Snowstar gazed at Silverstar, her eyes full of horror and fear.] "We cannot save you from this," she whispered in grief, as if trying to explain. "Oh, we could not stop this if we tried!" [Lavenderstar laid her tail on Snowstar's flank, shaking her head.] She whispered in a softer voice so the leaders could not hear, "We did all we could. It's up to them now."
Moss-star watched them with sad eyes, her jet-black fur ruffling in the wind, and murmured to herself sadly, "Looks like we'll have more warriors joining our ranks soon."
[Then, the leaders of old quickly departed, rushing back into the darkness before fading from view, whispering words of warning as they left.]

Foxstar
"Foxstar!" a voice called over the roar of water. [The leader spun on his feet, expecting another spectre, but instead saw the soaking form of Guardianvow stumbling towards him.] "Foxstar, the bridge! There's no way we can cross it!" Guardianvow yowled. [Foxstar's ears flattened at what this entailed. The gathering cats were stuck on the island!] "Are you sure?" he roared in return, trying to project his voice over the storm. "Is the lake too wild?" "Yes!" Guardianvow returned, approaching the leaders. [Foxstar could see he was panting and narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Was the first thing this warrior did at the outbreak of the storm was run to the tree-bridge in terror?] Guardianvow recognized his look and hissed, "I wasn't going to flee! I knew those old tree-bridges would be useless in this storm but I wanted to make sure. You wouldn't believe it- the waves are almost as high as the trees!" [Foxstar knew he was exaggerating, but he understood what he meant. He spat angrily, lashing his tail. What were they to do?] "Take shelter under the trees on this hill!" Galestar yowled to the cats below. "We need to get someplace high so we don't get swept away by the water!"
[There was a small grove of trees behind the leaders on the hill, latched onto the side. Foxstar was unsure if it was good to be high with all the lightning, but then he saw what Galestar meant. Because the island was slightly sloped, water was rushing down dangerously and sweeping into the lake. The fact that the island was a semi-hill did not help- the cats at the top of it were safer than those met by waves of water at the bottom. And any cat that was swept into the lake water now would surely be drowned! He wondered for a moment in fear if any apprentices had already been swept away, but now was not the time to give in to fear. He sprinted after Galestar towards the trees. They provided flimsy shelter under the furious rain, but it was shelter enough. Foxstar watched as cats struggled against the heavy rain to reach the trees.
He could not even see four cat-lengths in front of him, the rain was so thick! He couldn't recall a storm this terrible ever in his life!
What does this mean? he thought wildly. What is StarClan trying to say?!].
Thunderflight
[I yowled in surprise as lightning struck the leader's spot. The familiar smell of burnt flesh wafted across my nose and I froze, images long-since buried springing before my eyes. My mother, siblings, all scorched and dead, lying in the clearing. The heat of the bolt as it sizzled into my fur. I shuddered, breaking my trance. The apprentices and I were closest to the edges of the clearing, sitting on the outside ring of cats. When the water hit, we were almost immediately pushed backwards. As the water gained momentum down the hill, I grabbed Dustpaw by the scruff, refusing to let him get swept away. Then my eyes flicked over to the other two apprentices. A torrent of water gushed past my feet, quickly rising up my legs as more water came down, and likely up to the apprentice's chins! They would be swept away...! I trudged behind them and began to push them forward, using my big size to my advantage. As the rain swept into me, trying to push me into the lake, I pushed the apprentices forward, using my head to nudge them along. We got past a nasty patch of wild water, but more was coming down. Dustpaw was still in my jaws, but I continued to push the others up until we made it to a safer spot where they could walk on their own to the trees where the cats were fleeing. They'd have to continue on their own now-I needed to get Dustpaw to safety. I nodded to them and galloped ahead, reaching the trees quickly. I placed Dustpaw down and whirled around, squinting through the haze of rain to see if anyone needed my help.
I slowly realized that we were trapped on this island until the storm subsided.
And I felt a wave of fear hit me. Whisperblade- my kittens! StormClan was set in a hole in the ground-were they being drowned?!]
