[[Started Early since we can never seem to get it done quickly lol]]
The cry of an owl shrieked through the spooky, dark forest as the pure white female led her Clan of Shadows into the gathering place. She gracefully slid along the slope, a group of wily and sharp eyed cats behind her. Jumping up onto the highrock, she was first in the clearing, surveying her Clan proudly. she had absolutely zero good news, but she was so overjoyed right now-her Clan was doing excellent, and even though a terrible winter storm had struck, they seemed well fed and content. Arcticstar stared out at the cats below her, and then looked up at the fat round moon, and she suddenly realized she had a lot to be thankful for. Times got rough often but she always pulled through. Her Clan kept her happy, and that's all she needed. She kenw there would be starving times this leafbare, but her Clan would make it. She already sensed the strength of it.

[[Fire'll come later... but for now, here comes TruC]]
Otherstar felt a newfound energy pulsing through her veins. Since her journey to Highstones and her new lives, she was a different cat. She had never known how great being a true leader could be. SilenceClan wasn't really a Clan, in the sense that they hated Clans. Though TrueClan was also somewhat different, they had similar values and similar traditions. Otehrstar had made sure of that. And now, they might just be accepted as a real Clan. Like their name, a true Clan.
So with an excited heart, the leader eagerly bounded through the lush grasses toward the Highrock and the Fourtrees meeting place. She had waited so long to do this, and had always imagined herself here. As a leader atop the great rock, telling of her Clan. And maybe now she would get the chance. That is, if the other Clans did not run her out first. But she was keeping SilenceClan at bay as much as possible, and the dark Clan's fall was all TrueClan wanted. That and to be accepted.
Otherstar scented the familiar smells of Fourtrees. ShadowClan was the most distinct and prominent one, and she figured that they were the only Clan there. She eagerly bounded through the WindClan moors, somewhat unhappy at having to sneak through their territory. But it was all worth it. She led her Clan proudly over the rise and down into Fourtrees, and could've been easily mistaken for a WindClan leader guiding WindClan to the Gathering. She was glad, however, that she wasn't.
Using the momentum she had from her run, she scrambled up to the top of the great Highrock, proud as ever. She tuned to see one leader, and nodded respectfully.
"I am Otherstar, leader of TrueClan. We wish to be with the Clans this Gathering." She wondered how much the ShadowClan leader actually did know about TrueClan.

Stormstar padded over the bend just as two Clans arrived. A strange new scent hit her and she paused, alarmed, but then continued when it seemed there was no threat, Stormstar padded forward, her Clan following. She leaped up onto the Great Rock, her grey-blue-green eyes flickering as they turned to survey the other leaders. They hesitated when she saw the she-cat. She had just heard her name, and where she was from.
"Greetings." Stormstar said with a polite nod.
Boulderstar's heard pounded against his chest. How will they take the news? He thought, fretful. He supposed it didn't matter, but still. He padded to the Great Rock and stared up at it, where scratches ran up the side. He leaped up and clawed his way to the top, much less gracefully than the practiced leaders. He let out a gusty sigh and then turned to greet the leaders, but then he noticed the third cat, who he had supposed to be Firestar but now he saw she was not.

Arcticstar blniked. "You are the famed TrueClan," She said with a tiny gasped. SDhe had only heard stories of the brave cats. She felt a rush of excitement pull through her. They were their saviors. Did the other Clans realize this? "I am Arcticstar, leader of ShadowClan. It is an honor to meet you, Otherstar." She dipped her head respectfully. She eyes Boulderstar carefully. "Magicstar? Is she alright?" She fretted over the state of her old friend, leader of ShadowClan. If Magicstar passed away... that'd make Arcticstar the second oldest leader, next to Stormstar. She shook her pelt from a shiver. Have I been leader that long? It seems as if yesterday Talonstar was killed on the Thunderpath. she sighed nervously and gazed out at the section where wary eyed TrueClanners sat. There was one crimson red cat that looked confident. She wanted to meet this cat. Ah, TrueClanners, they were so diverse yet so much the same. Or were they?
The Crimson red she-cat caught the ShadowClan leader eyeing her and her Clan. She must be excited to finally meet us,Passion thought. This was her first gathering ever, and she was luckhy to be going- her kits, Sunpaw and Moonpaw had finally been apprenticed, and Passion was already feeling the freedom. She turned to her long time friend Authentic, who was also jittery and excited. " ShadowClanners are quiet and stealthy. I would give my tail to run like a WindClanner. and RiverClan! They are so brave to actually swim!!!. She purred in amusement. Authentic's mate Angel had just given birth, and the ecstacy was spreading. Authentic's sister, Shutterfly, who also had her kits apprenticed, was a little calmer. "Authentic, if you don't stop being a livewire, the whole forest will catch on fire!" Passion blinked up at the four leaders above her, and then wondered where ThunderClan was. Fluffing her pelt out, she closed her eyes to hear the sound of the forest come over her.
Badgerstripe watched the TrueClanners nervously, eyeing each and every one of them carefully. What if they are traitors? Will they hurt my kits? Or Streakwater? He had been nervously thinking these thoughts ever since Streakwater had her accident. Her looked at other WindClanners, who were also staring at the TrueClanner, yet happily and excitedly. He shivered. They are good cats, He thought relaxing a little. He sighed and tried to focus his attention on something else.
Rubypaw was also looking at other Clans. They are so...the same. At least we have variety!!! She watched a group of RiverClanners slide silkily through the crowds, in sync. She then looked over to a ShadowClan warrior and her apprentice, who had the same look in there eyes-pride. She viewed her own Clan proudly, with there personalities shocking the whole crowd. she turned to find her mentor, Littlecloud. I can't do this. I'm a medicine cat!!! She wanted so badly to be with her own mentor, who wasn't much older than she. tHey had met a long time ago, and they both had hated eachother. But could hate turn to love? She shook her head sadly and sat down next to Sunpaw and Moonpaw, who were trying to catch a wee cricket thathad sprang out of the grass. They act like kits!!! She thought, amused. But whatever made her Clan happy made her happy. She looked up at the leaders and waited for the last Clan to arrive.

TrueClan? Boulderstar shook his head, turning to Articstar. He hesitated, and then sighed.
"Magicstar died, I'm afraid. I've become leader in her place." Boulderstar sent a quick look at Firestar. How would the tom take the news he was offically not the youngest leader in the forest any longer? He sighed and stared down at his paws. Then he looked up at Otherstar.
"And on behalf of my Clan... welcome to the Gathering." He meowed, smiling slightly. Boulderstar didn't know much about TrueClan, only rumors that flitted about and the tales of a few of his Clanmates. But from what he did know, they were a noble and trustworthy Clan. And in these times, they had little room for prejudices.
Saviorsoul sat beside his brother, listening intently to the sounds of the Gathering. He was delighted to be back at Fourtrees. He had thought he would be giving up this ritual after he joined TrueClan. He remembered his last Gathering, when he had felt StarClan's call to leave ThunderClan. He wondered what all of his old friends would think of him now. Ravennight sat beside him, erect and proud as the oaks themselves. Saviorsoul was proud of his brother. He knew his Clan would never believe how they'd grown. I wonder if Ashfire is here. He thought with a soft sigh.

Firestar leaped quickly through the ThunderClan undergrowth. After much trouble, the group had finally set off. And Sandstorm wasn't talking to him. He was slightly on edge, and everything seemed to be happening so quickly. He bolted through territory faster than the others, and soon scented Fourtrees ahead. He raced up the the great rock, leaping like a bird in flight and effortlessly landing next to Arcticstar.
"Sorry we're late." The leader said, no hint of happiness in his eyes. He looked at Otherstar strangely.
"TrueClan. Otherstar." The she-cat meowed with a nod.
"Oh..." Firestar replied, out of breath. He sat down, exhausted. "ThunderClan... Firestar..." He said, panting the words out. Otherstar nodded.
"Nice to meet all of you."

"Well, everyone is here," Arcticstar said. She yowled for silence, and stepped forward. "We have such a pleasant visit today. Otherstar, TrueClan, you are our saviors from dreaded SilenceClan." Her voice hissed to rage. SilenceClan and ShadowClan had the most tangles in warrior history. There biggest enemy, Blood, was now renamed Shadowthief and was serving the Clan well. Earthsong and Stonesearch had come from there as well."Frostpaw was gone for a few sunrises, and Silverpaw has taken her place, although we have found Frostpaw and are thankful she's okay. Nothing else to report." She stepped back and nodded for another leader to go.

Stormstar stepped forward, her proud head lifted high as she looked down on the other Clans. RiverClan, ThunderClan, WindClan, ShadowClan, and now this new TrueClan, all mingled together and staring intently up at her. "RiverClan has been faring well, despite a shallow river," she began, her voice strong yet quivering in some points - proof of her aging, "We have taken in a new Warrior and his kits, which is something that I must atribute to these troubled times." Stormstar shook her head. In her parent's day thoughts of Half-Clanners and rouges joining the Clans would have been a source of horror. She paused for a moment, and then turned to look at Otherstar. "And RiverClan must honor the coming of this new Clan, as well. May StarClan grant we take down this threat to us all... together." She meowed with a slight nod. She saw that the face of the WindClan leader was troubled, but she would expect so. He was the youngest cat in the history of the Clans to take up the leadership - only perhaps sixteen moons, or fifteen, Stormstar didn't know. But she could see the makings of a leader in him already. She thought that it was sad Magicstar had died before Boulderstar could adapt to a role of responsibility. Still, she picked a worthy sucsessor. Stormstar thought. OOC: Oookk Firestar can go next.  Or Otherstar. |

[[Otherstar goes last...]]
Firestar felt a tinge of sadness at the thought of bad news in the Clans. Frostpaw vanishing, a shallow river, and the dark SilenceClan. He was happy to have better news.
"Crookfaith has left for WindClan, as you cats might already know. Foxpaw has taken his place. Sandstorm has had..." He paused, thinking of his daughters and son. "... three healthy kits. I am now a proud father." He purred happily. "We are faring well despite low prey from this Leafbare." He backed off, hoping he had done well. He sat, watching the others happily.

Boulderstar, with a wary glance at Otherstar, stepped forward. His fur was on end, his thoughts twisted. How could he do this? You've done it before. He reminded himself. Yes but never as Leader. Boulderstar inhaled as deeply as he could without making it obvious and began.
"WindClan has seen both life and tragedy in this past moon," he meowed solemnly, his voice surprisingly-alluring, "Our Medicine cat and noble leader, Magicstar, have died. I am now Boulderstar, leader of WindClan." He meowed, his heart heavy but his outward appearance noble and strong, "Even though our Medicine cat had no apprentice, StarClan has been gracious and have sent us one from ThunderClan. Crookfaith, as formerly stated, is now the Medicine cat of WindClan." When he said this, Boulderstar dipped his head to Firestar. The cat must have been irked to lose a Medicine cat. Boulderstar greatly respected his granting StarClan's wish. "Three of our kits, Taintedkit, Featherkit, and Boulderkit have become apprentices and Featherpaw is the apprentice of our Medicine Cat. There have been strange scents on the edge of the moors lately, and I fear many rouges wandering about, possibly SilenceClanners. I would suggest especially ShadowClan to keep an eye out." He closed his eyes and then turned to Otherstar, his pale blue-grey gaze very intense.
"WindClan, as well, welcomes you to Fourtrees. In this time of need it is a good thing to have friends. I believe fervently that our survival depends on the cooperation of all Clans." He said, and then with a nod he stepped back, his thin grey tail curling around his forepaws as he sat.

[[you forgot to mention Magicstar's death....Sorry about the one liner, i'm drained.]
Arcticstar nodded. "I'll make sure my patrols are alert,"

[[Let's not have the leaders leave just yet! The cats should hve time to talk with one another to see how their friends are all doing.]]
Otherstar smiled. It was actually her turn! How long she had waited, with wrong intensions, for this. And now a new cat and a pure one, with better thoughts and no dream of being a leader, was here now. It was amazing how that worked.
"TrueClan has much news. We have many new kits, apprentices, and warriors. Our most recent warrior is Inksky. We have too many Apprentices and kits to name. We are growing strong, hopefully strong enough to destroy the dreaded SilenceClan soon. Our beloved Dragonstar has just passed away, and I am the new leader. We hope to be accepted and be attending more Gatherings soon." Otherstar nodded, stepping back and sitting down. She turned to the other leaders.
"Thank you for this wonderful opportunity. I think our warriors should be allowed to converse for a minute. I'm sure you have many questions. We can leave when we feel ready, but my cats have probably been missing their old friends. If you leaders have any questions, please ask of me now."

Arcticstar had only one cat leave her Clan and join TrueClan, and that had been Littlepaw, now Littlecloud. She nodded to the others and spoke softly. "I have to see Littlecloud." Jumping down for the great rock, the furry white she-cat searched for her previous medicine cat apprentice, mentored by Snowlily who had died...
Inksky did not want anything to do with any RiverClanners. They had all hated him and loved his successful sister, so he stayed put, watching as cats pured there ways through the crowd to find old friends.

Willowpaw was eager to attend her first Gathering. After everything had been announced, the eager apprentice was amazed to think that there was another Clan. Something about the leader seemed distantly familiar, but she put it aside and went to look for someone to talk with. Hawkpaw trailed her closely, and she soon spotted a tom who looked bored. Before she could approach him, however, Hawkpaw stopped her.
"That's not a cat to talk to." He tried to redirect her. Willowpaw smiled.
"Lead me to a good cat then." Hawkpaw quickly took the lead, but Willowpaw did not follow. She waltzed over to the tom and smiled.
"Hi, I'm Willowpaw of RiverClan. What's your name?"
[[She's talking to Inksky.]]

[[Errr.. I your trying to RP my Hawkpaw???]]
Inksky did not know this cat, but by her scent she was RiverClan. He wanted to flee but he was awkwardly still. "Uh. Hi." she tried to attempt kindness to this cat. Obviously, she hadn't been born when he was still a RiverClan apprentice. But there was another reason Inksky was upset-Dragonstar. Dragonstar had mentored since he first arrived in TrueClan territory. He felt an ache of sadness. "I'm Inksky."

[[No!!! He's my Hawkie... <3 Hawkeye, not Hawkfrost. My first cat on the old SP brought back... Which is why your Hawk is Hawkkit!]]
"That's a cool name. What Clan do you belong to?" Willowpaw said, smiling. Hawkpaw had realized Willowpaw was gone, and had retraced his steps back to Inksky.
"Hello." The tom meowed grudgingly, glaring at the white she-cat.

[[Oh lol. Cause they have like the same names-Hawkfrost, willowshine... lol]
Inksky wasn't to happy to see RiverClanners either. He sighed. "Hi." He wanted to just walk away, but then again he wanted to know what was going on his his old clan. "So. what clan are you in?" He knew what clan, just he wanted to keep the convo going.

Hawkpaw snorted.
"Yep. It's you alright. As stupid as always." Willowpaw glared at Hawkpaw, smacking his head fiercely with a paw. She glared at him.
"Inksky is a good tom. We're both RiverClanners." Willowpaw said apologetically.

Inksky's eyes blazed, staring at the apprentice. His insult was as if Hawkpaw had known him and hated him. "Ah." He gazed at the leaders. "Yeah. I'm a TrueClanner. I used to be in your Clan. What's going on there?"

Before Hawkpaw could speak, Willowpaw silenced him with a nasty glare.
"Go find something better to do." She hissed, and Hawkpaw sighed. He turned and padded away swiftly, not wanting to be hit again.
"Well, I'm new. I was found almost drowned in the river. Amnesia." She sighed.
