XxPreussischePrinzessinxX ll oceanic_shimmer ll Is Charmingpaw in this little group too? Or is he going to sit somewhere else?
I want someone to love me
For who I am
I want someone to need me
Is that so bad
I wanna break our madness
But it's all I have
I want someone to love me
For who I am
 ✖✖✖✖✖✖ Rainblast ✖✖✖✖✖✖Rainblast purred as he saw Orchidpaw pad up to her brother. There was something about her walk and the way she was trying to carry herself that was familiar... Ah yes! She reminded him of their mother. He chuckled to himself, clearly she wanted to show the other apprentices and warriors something. She was proof though, a Nightclan apprentice is not to be toyed with. If they can't be tough, they can pretend.
Rainblast stiffened when he heard pawsteps pad up to them. Turning his head he saw a Stormclan warrior and an unfamiliar apprentice. Newly appointed by the looks of it. The tabby Nightclan warrior sat up even straighter and nodded slightly. "Yes... Alright." Rainblast finally said, deciding there wouldn't be much harm in letting the pair stay. "She your apprentice?" The Nightclan warrior asked, giving a small nod in the she-cat's [Glimmerpaw] direction.
He was cut off by an immediate answer however, when Orchidpaw said his name. With a small nod to Rustdawn, he turned his head back to the two siblings. Lowering his head he looked at them. Orchidpaw looked quite frightened. It was quite the change, having been so excited moments before. At her question, he understood her fear. "No Orchidpaw. I don't believe so. Grief itself is powerful. It would be the things caused by grief, like not eating. That would kill a cat. I don't think grief itself would cause a cat to die." Rainblast meowed reassuringly, looking back to Rustdawn for an answer to his earlier question. OOC: ✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖✖

XxPreussischePrinzessinxX   Lostpaw
"Real tears are not those that fall from the eyes and cover the face, but those that fall from the heart and cover the soul."
SeaClan----Apprentice
Lostpaw followed his leader, Shiftstar, and the other warriors to the island. This was his first gathering. Excitement and anticipation welled up is the undersized apprentice. Leaping up on the tree that acted as a bridge to the gathering, the snowy apprentice unsheathed his thorn sharp claws and edged cautiously across, his gaze flitting to the black water beneath the tree. Fear tensed the young cat as memory of falling in the river as a newly made apprentice bubbled to the forefront of his mind. Fluffing out his fur, Lostpaw scuttled across the tree-bridge to the far side and jumped down onto the shore.
Lostpaw looked around warily, the cats were to mingle, he supposed. But mingled meant talking to and, more importantly, listening to the other cats. The small white apprentice located other apprentices and slowly padded towards them, unsure of what to do. He had never been very good in situations involving cats his own age. he hadn't played much or well as a kit because half the time he couldn't hear what the other cats were saying, so now it was time to try and greet cats from another clan!
Edging towards a warrior and two apprentices (Rainblast, Runningpaw, and Orchidpaw) he stopped a short way off, unable to pick up on their current conversation and mewed, "-lo." His speech unclear and nervousness closing his throat the word was almost inaudible and almost indistinguishable as 'hello'.

F o x s t a r The NightClan leader entered the gathering, greeting cats here and there. The mixed scent of all four clans filled the air, along with warm and friendly conversations. The tom scanned the area and spotted the leaders up ahead. He grinned as he examined each of them, realizing how well they fight during combat. Swerving through bundles of cats, he approached the leaders and greeted them with a respectful purr and lick on the cheek.
"Greetings Galestar, Silverstar and Shiftstar. I believe we're all fairing well?" Foxstar greeted, sitting next to Shiftstar. "We should get this started."

Rarepaw Clan: Seaclan
Rank: Apprentice (mentor: Ivoryscales)
Mate: None I speak my mind...
:｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡ Rarepaw moved about almost roboticly, as she followed the clan to the gathering. She didn't have time to think about walking, when her mind was so busy processing everything. She didn't have to worry about falling in the water either -she was a Seaclan cat after all- so crossing the log was easy. But she knew Kindsoul wouldn't like it much, so she tried to encourage her with a flick of her tail. This was Rarepaw's first Gathering, and she wasn't used to not knowing all the cats names. She spotted Lostpaw, and without thinking darted after him, following him through the mass of cats.
She sat beside him and said "I hope it's okay if I stick with you, I'm a bit nervous. But don't tell anyone that." Then she lifted her head and purred to the other cats sitting by them. "Is this your first Gathering too?" She asked Runningpaw and Orchidpaw, while dipping her head respectfully to Rainblast. :｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡
...So I'm not forgotten. occ: Kindsoul Clan: Seaclan
Rank: Warrior
Mate: None Let me heal...
:｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡ Kindsoul didn't enjoy crossing, but with an encouraging tail flick from Rarepaw, she made it across. She looked around and smiled. This was her first Gathering, since she had been made a warrior, and she held her head up high with a smile on her face as she walked. But the pretty she cat paused, not sure where to sit. Though she was always kind, she was nervous around strangers, and she didn't want to impose herself on any of the cats. So she found a place by herself, and curled her tail around her paws, looking up to where the clan leaders were sitting. "What an honour it must be to sit there." She though. :｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡
...your broken heart. occ:

 SilverstarSilverstar nodded to Shiftstar, remaining silent and calm. Her emerald green eyes betrayed her excitement. Appointing warriors with new apprentices was always a refreshing activity; it filled one's heart with hope for the future.
"I'll start it, then," she said, rising. Galestar nodded absentmindedly, and Shiftstar gave no voicing objection. Foxstar narrowed his eyes for a moment before nodding in assent.
"Cats of the Clans," Silverstar yowled, pausing for a moment to allow the voices from the throng of cats to hush. "Let us begin the Gathering. StormClan has fared well. The only casualty we suffered during the flood was Thunderpelt, a loved warrior. She served her Clan well saving Thorntail from the rushing waters. She died a warrior. I am also proud to announce that we have seven new apprentices- Lightningpaw, Tempestpaw, Twisterpaw, Blizzardpaw, Glimmerpaw, Squirrelpaw, and Briskpaw. They will make great warriors. Lastly, our newest warrior, Darkstorm, will be joining the ranks of StormClan. We look forward to many more moons under StarClan's guidance."
Silverstar dipped her head once before stepping back to her place.

Shiftstar had looked as if she wanted to speak next, but the NightClan leader gave her little chance to before claiming his turn. She narrowed his eyes at him, raising her hackles slightly before composing herself and sitting back with an annoyed glare.
Undisturbed, Foxstar raised his head proudly, twitching his tail.
"NightClan has fared even better," he stated. "Our only casualty was Sharpflash, our only elder. He served his Clan well in his lifetime and will be missed. NightClan is also proud to announce a large throng of apprentices who will be taught the way of the warrior. Runningpaw, Sacredpaw, Scarletpaw, Orchidpaw, Charmingpaw, Ghastlypaw, Furypaw, and Olivepaw will serve their Clan well."
There was a murmur among the crowd of cats below. It was a large list of apprentices! Foxstar twitched his tail proudly, his amber eyes burning down at the crowd. NightClan was obviously growing in number.
He returned to his spot, dipping his head for Shiftstar to go on. She glared at him with irritation before speaking.
"SeaClan is well. We have suffered no casualties and the waters run full with prey. We are as strong as ever." She dipped her head before returning to her spot.
Foxstar narrowed his eyes. Why did she have a p***k in her pelt about speaking when that's all she had to say? he wondered grumpily.
Now Galestar was the last to go. The leaders rested their eyes on him, worry and pity mixing in their gazes. The silence in the clearing seemed to resonate.

The Seaclan deputy followed into the gathering along side Shiftstar, taking her place among the other deputes in the growing crowd of cats. Her bright, fiery eyes shifted restlessly, taking in the sight of each and every pelt as it meshed into one. Silently and with a stern face she listened to Silverstar finish her speech. Her eyes narrowed into a harsh and burning glare when Foxstar, the new leader of Nightclan cut of her leader to speak first. The NERVE! Was it just her imagination, or so far have all of the Nightclan leaders she had known been rude and arrogant (not like she herself had such character flaws herself).
Once Shiftstar had finished her announcement Dragonfire then returned her attention to gazing upon the crowd of cats. She wished to speak with others, now that she knew how to play nice with others... sort of.

Seaclan The last to follow Shiftstar, It was hard to look for a spot, considering their arrival time. Sandstripe followed Kindsoul to her spot and apologized when he settled down next to her." Sorry, I hope you don't mind. I can't find my friends from the other clans. They're not here." He meowed quickly. At least we're not late. He let out a content sigh as he looked around, scanning for any familiar faces in the large clump of cats. Mouse dung, can't you see that she was going first? He fidgeted as Foxstar ignorantly made for his announcements. As each new Nightclan apprentices' names was called, he whispered to Kindsoul," Nightclan's really growing in quantity, aren't they?" ████████████████████ ♣ ████████████████████ ♣ ████████████████████ ♣ ████████████████████

RUNNINGPAW Runningpaw stared at his sister. That was a question he had not been thinking of, nor would it have crossed his mind. Bit it was a curious thought. Could a cat die from grief? He perked his ears curiously as Rainblast began to speak. Nodding when the warrior was done. This was good. He was glad that a cat couldn't die from grief and they wouldn't let their momma starve. Now that they were apprentices they would learn how to hunt and could bring their momma food.
Runningpaw curled his tail neatly around his paws when he saw an apprentice slowly making his way towards him and his sister. Was he frightened or something? At the toms words Runningpaw nodded. "Hi!" He greeted happily. Turning his head to the other apprentice who had joined the tom. He nodded sheepishly. "Ya... We were just made apprentices... I'm Runningpaw. This is my sister Orchidpaw. We're Nightclan" Runningpaw introduced himself. "That's my mentor Rainblast. And that is...." He paused, looking at Rustdawn. "That is..... A Stormclan warrior." He finally finished when he realized he didn't know the tabby warrior's name.
Runningpaw quieted down as a silvery leader spoke up. He poked Rainblast. "Which Clan is she leader of?" He asked softly. XxPreussischePrinzessinxX

:｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡ Kindsoul smiled at Sandstripe. "I don't mind at all." She watched as the leaders all took their turns speaking, (some more forcefully then others). "That wasn't very nice." She muttered, surprised that a leader would show such aggression to another in public. Kindsoul listened to all the new apprentices with shock. "They sure are. How nice for them, that's quite a large amount of apprentices." She replied to Sandstripe. "They're mothers must be so proud of them." She thought, thinking about how she would feel if she ever had kits. :｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡

Did you both get good mentors?" She asked them, curious about what they would say. She's never met cats of other clans before. She also noticed Kindsoul was not longer sitting alone, so she felt less guilty about leaving her. :｡✿*ﾟ‘ﾟ･✿.｡.:*.:｡✿*ﾟ’ﾟ･✿.｡

ｔｈｅｎ ｗｅ ｗｉｌｌ ｎｅｖｅｒ ｌｉｖｅ ａ ｄａｙ ａｌｉｖｅXX FOR WHAT IS IT TO DIE═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════ Galestar watched the two younger leaders with glazed eyes, feeling heavier by the moment. They were already so full of spunk. So full of life. Pebbleheart had seemed that way. Before. Before all of the grief had changed her...
As he realized it was his turn to speak, he stood stiffly. He walked forward slowly, his paws stroking the branch as he walked. He raised his head to the throng below and spoke in a shaky voice.
"BreezeClan has many new apprentices as well. My own children have reached the age of apprenticeship. Diamondpaw, Amethystpaw, Crystalpaw, Billowingpaw, Whirlpaw, and Galepaw will become great warriorsm and I look forward to watching them grow."
He spoke the words as if they were foreign to him, generated from a distant template of repeated words. His grief was evident.
"Unfortunately, we have also lost two brave warriors," he said weakly after a brief pause. "Shadestripe perished during the flood, and Pebbleheart joined him in the ranks of StarClan shortly thereafter."
A ripple of shock moved through the cats gathered below, and several wails of horror rose up. Pebbleheart was known for her kindness and wisdom. Galestar was surprised that the other Clans recognized her loss was a loss for all.
"Valiantstride will do his best to serve the Clan well," Galestar said blankly, introducing the new deputy with little effort.
Suddenly, fire sprung into his robin-blue eyes. He stood tall, lashing his tail as his energy flowed forward in his fervor.
"But enough prattle!" he spat, narrowing his eyes. "Why are we sitting here acting as if nothing is wrong? I have received a prophecy from StarClan about some kind of stone! The storm was an omen! I know the other leaders have received the same message. I won't let their deaths be in vein!"
Cries of fear and shock rippled through cats below. Clouds began drifting across the moon.
"Calm yourself, Galestar," Silverstar ordered, rising. "We don't need to instill panic. Yes, I have witnessed the same prophecy, as Thunderflight has. StarClan is unclear as to what the danger is, however. I was going to wait until after the Moonpool gathering to discuss it with the other leaders. Perhaps then our medicine cats could get a clearer view on what exactly the danger is."
"As have I," Foxstar growled, his amber eyes glowing. "And I agree with Silverstar. We must give it time. Evidently, the Clans will be put to the test once more."
Galestar lashed his tail once, but his fur began to lie flat once more. "I'm sorry," he said softly. "I let my emotions override my judgement. But we faced the mighty claws of four beasts of Legends and lived- and slayed them! We lost many warriors in that battle! What more need we be tested for?"
"StarClan does not control the enemies we face, Galestar," Shiftstar said calmly. "They are there to warn us and guide us through the danger. We can only trust in their guidance to lead us out of the darkness."
Galestar lowered his head, his paws heavy. "Wise words," he assented. "Alright. Hopefully the Moonpool will shed some light on this confusion. Let it be known that BreezeClan is always willing to help another Clan in need to help face whatever enemy awaits!"
The leaders nodded, their eyes glowing as Galestar retreated. There was a low buzz of murmuring voices as the leaders whispered amongst themselves, tails twitching.
(( Giving everyone time to wrap up before ending it. ))

XxPreussischePrinzessinxX  ((Sound of MUSIC : )) Mentor to: No one
Has a crush on: Dawnsky Rustdawn finally sat down when Rainblast finally said the two of them could sit down. He wasn't sure what the tom had against him. But then, there was always some distrust when cats from other clans were concerned. It was expected really. At the tabby warrior's comment about Glimmerpaw he shook his head. He waited until the warrior had answered the she-cat before he responded with words to the question. "No. Glimmerpaw is my best friend's apprentice. Her mentor couldn't come today and I promised her mother I would look out for her." Rustdawn explained, curling his tail around his paws as he settled in. "I don't have an apprentice." He added darkly. Rustdawn was going to ask Rainblast if he had an apprentice but the comment from the tom who called himself Runningpaw was an answer to his unasked question. That's my mentor Rainblast. The tabby warrior rolled his eyes when Runningpaw tried to introduce him. "Rustdawn. I'm Rustdawn and this is Glimmerpaw." He told the apprentices. "Least he got the clan right." He muttered before turning to Glimmerpaw. "That scent that joined us, is from two Seaclan apprentices." He told her. The only scent she needed to grasp now was Breezeclan.
Rustdawn turned his head as Silverstar called for the Gathering to begin. He puffed out his chest proudly as Silverstar mentioned that they did well. Take that! Stormclan could fare just fine during trials. He relaxed his body when Foxstar took position. "That's Foxstar. Nightclan's leader." He whispered to Glimmerpaw. He bowed his head respectfully when Foxstar mentioned their casualties and looked back up when Shiftstar spoke.
The tabby warrior joined in with the yowls of shock and horror when Galestar announced Pebbleheart's death. He didn't know her well. In fact, he didn't know Breezeclan that well. But he knew enough from what Skywhisker had told Dawnsky who had in turn, told him about the former deputy. She was a cat to look up to and admire. Rustdawn bowed his head for Breezeclan's loss before looking up in surprise when Galestar yowled. What in Starclan's name! He quickly curled his tail around Glimmerpaw for comfort. He wasn't sure how she would take this sudden turn of events. It wasn't everyday that the leader's broke out yowling. But the thought of the storm being an omen was a little frightening. He hoped that Glimmerpaw was still too young to understand. Rustdawn felt himself relax as Galestar calm down. But the buzz of fear was still in the air as the leaders conversed. Rustdawn looked to Rainblast. "What do you think?" ↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪↪
