Stormwind twitched her whiskers, eyes glazed with slight alarm and sadness. Poor kit...Still-borns were always mourned in the clans. The kit was never given a chance to have a taste of life, to make lasting relationships that would live throughout a lifetime. It was as if StarClan had made a mistake and plucked the kit from the litter, denying them even a single breath.
The she-cat sighed. It was sad, but she was sure there was a reason for it. Stormwind was the kind of cat that knew that everything had to have a reason for happening. It was the only way this war-torn world had held together through the ages. Taking a deep breath, she turned her attention instead to the other matter that Taintedleaf had brought up. Confused, she turned her gaze back to the leaders, eager to hear what Taintedleaf was talking about. What was so bad or important that he couldn't share? "I'm sorry. I hope the others are all healty and safe." She murmured, flicking her fellow medicine cat on the shoulder.
OOC: I know the feeling Thyme. XD |

Silentstream was sitting near Stormwind, and she sighed unhappily. Stillborns were always noted as sad happenings. "I, too, apologize," meowed the she-cat to Taintedleaf. "That's always horrible, something like that to happen," she meowed, curling her tail around her paws. Where was Ebonypaw? She wanted to talk to her apprentice, but had no idea where the young tom was. She looked around irritably. |

Noticing Silentstream, Stormwind dipped her head to the other medicine cat. Now every one of the medicine cats were here; apparently the clans seemed to be healthy enough to let everyone attend. "Hello Silentstream." She meowed softly, her intense gaze switching to the other she-cat for a few heartbeats.
Two CelestialClan warriors sat side by side, nearly mirror images of each other. Both were sitting up straight and tall, ears perked and tails curled around paws. The only true differences on appearance that could be seen was one was slightly smaller than the other, had smoother fur, and a pair of purple eyes instead of blue. The blue-eyed tom leaned down, murmuring something in the purple-eyed cat's ear. Ravensecret, as he was called, watched as his sister Whimsysky stood. After a moment he turned to watch the leaders once more, wondering as everyone else was why all of his clan was here.
After leaving her brother's side, Whimsysky scanned the crowd with strange eyes, her tail flicking impatiently. The normally carefree she-cat was troubled; she could sense something was off in CelestialClan. Something wasn't right; things were going to change. She could tell that TempestClan was up to something. All of it's warriors were tense, and she could even see a dark apprentice staring at the leader's with an unusually eager expression. Perhaps just his first Gathering and the usual jitters, but she wasn't sure. "Thunderpaw." She called softly, moving through the seated cats with ease. If something was going to happen, she wanted to make sure Thunderpaw was by her; she didn't want her apprentice to be lost in the confusion.

Thunderpaw swiftly dashed in and out of the throng of cats as he sniffed out his mentor and her brother. A calico pelt brushed against another cat, as he spotted his mentor.
Thunderpaw's yellow eyes beamed as he yowled out loudly, "Whispysky!! Whispysky! I found you!!"
Running at full speed to his mentor, he meowed happily as he skidded past her, leaving a trail of dust. Walking back towards her, with a serious look on his face, he meowed, "Whispysky, I found you, finally. For StarClan's sake, it to forever to find you! I lost you while we were traveling here, and I've been tracking you down since then."
Thunderpaw let out of gush of air as he finally realized he needed to breathe again. |

OOC: Whimsysky. XD It's okay though.
Bic: A small purr of amusement rumbled in Whimsysky's chest as she watched the energetic calico tom race towards her. His yowls echoed throughout the cavern, causing the she-cat to flatten here ears ever so slightly. Shooting a quick glance at the leaders, she waited until Thunderpaw was at her side. Her fluffy tail snaked upwards, the tip placed against the small cat's muzzle for a second before she pulled it down. "Shh, Thunderpaw. The leaders are speaking; we don't want to get in trouble. I thought you wandered off though; I couldn't find you. Be careful to stick closer to me; something's not right with this Gathering." She meowed quietly, gently licking one small paw. "Come on." She added, turning back to head in her brother's direction.

Perilstar knew this was the time. He would not let this wait another moment longer for it seemed that if he would wait much longer than everything would go wrong. Who knew what would happen if he waited longer. The cats back at camp could get to anxious and now he wasn't sure if he could handle that on top of everything else. Although the pressure of the gathering was nothing he couldn't help but step up with a smirk upon his face. "Cats of each clan, Tempestclan is fairing well. Our warriors our strong and new additions will be arriving tonight. But not from our Queens, for Silkenvine is far from having her kits. No, our additions will be of Celestialclan. " His voice was clear and strong and he smiled a quick flashy smile down at the cats. It wasn't one of boldness or anything like that, it was one that was welcoming to Celestialclan cats that would now be with him. "Celestialclan, I am not sure if Vividstar has told you, but you will be returning with us. Tempestclan and Celestialclan are merging, and this will be a new and better time for the clans." His final sentence was accompanied with a soft flick of his tail. But he wasn't sure if he cold stop at those words. leaving others wonder what was happening. "Of course this hasn't just come up randomly. Vividstar and I have been discussing this for awhile, and have come to the conclusion that this is the only way it would work for us to be in the same clan." There the final words were spoken. Now let the questions begin....

Ravensecret's eyes widened to a seemingly impossible size as he heard Perilstar speak. His clan and the dark ones combining? What?! The warrior couldn't believe this. They simply couldn't just stroll around combining clans without talking to the actual cats living within them! Why hadn't Vividstar mentioned this, to anyone?! But the more important question that circled within the tom's brain was why. Why were they combining? How could it be better for them? True, they were some of the smallest clans. But still! StarClan had meant for there to be four clans, not two small ones and a huge one!
Rising to his paws he stared straight at Perilstar. "How is this better for our clans? More food and territory yes, but what else? How do you expect our clans to get along? We're completely different." He meowed.
Brittlenimbus sat there for a few moments, completely shocked. Celestial was combining with Tempest? This had to be a joke. A cruel, dark, nasty joke. It couldn't be the truth. Vividstar wouldn't do this to them! Yes, she was a new leader; everyone knew that. But she had to have more sense in her head than do this!
Whimsysky just stood there in shock. A numbing feeling seemed to spread through her frame, freezing her paws to the very ground she stood on. This couldn't be happening. Sliding closer to Thunderpaw she reached Ravensecret, standing beside him with a questioning look in Vividstar's direction.

Aquasplash stood still for a moment, almost like she was frozen to the spot. She couldn't believe it, that why she had been acting strange. Vividstar was merging CelestialClan with TempestClan. Slowly Aquasplash sat down and she narrowed her eyes to the leaders. Oh yes, what a great plan. NOT. Why should Aquasplash go along with this? Wouldn't Starclan have something to say?
"Are you mouse-brained?" She hissed to them, "Whatever gave you the idea for this?" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Rowanleafs tail waved behind him as Lynxstar mentioned him. Just hearing it made him sound sort of... special. It gave him a warm glow. He stared at Perilstar for a few seconds after he had spoken. Was he serious? But wouldn't that make his clan bigger? He could attack VertigoClan! That was bad![Muse= Lack of]

Thunderpaw's eyes widened in shock as Perilstar spoke. Staring at his mentory, Whismsysky, he whimpered, "W-What is going to happen to our Clan?" Thunderpaw's eyes shot up angrily at his leader, yet still had a great amount of fear in them.
As he stared at Perilstar, his eyes flattened, and he turned his head to Vividstar.
Glancing at Ravensecret, he shot in between the siblings and pressed up against his mentor.
His mother was gone, his father was somewhere else, and all he had left was Ravensecret and Whimsysky. Shrinking back against the floor, he let out a small hiss towards the news.
He wanted to know how the two other Clans would react to this.

sorry for spelling it wrong. xD;

Ooc: It's okay. XD
Bic: Ravensecret glanced down for a moment at the young calico before looking back up towards the leaders to see if they would answer. Part of him wished they wouldn't; without answers they could still pretend this nightmare wasn't actually happening. Yet he knew it was. He was awake, so it wasn't just a horrible dream he could wake up from. It was reality.
Lashing her tail angrily, Whimsysky flattened her ears as she stood next to her young apprentice. Hearing Aquasplash speak, she let out a low growl of satisfaction. Yes, Aquasplash had hit the prey straight on. The leader's were mouse-brained; at least two of them, that is.
Her eyes turning to Thunderpaw, she gently lowered her head to give him a few licks between his ears. "It's okay," She whispered. "The other leaders won't let this happen."

It was all so exciting, the drama of it all, but this would be for the best she knew it. She opened her maw and let out a yowl to silence the murmurs and the gossiping cats. For the first time as being leader she felt she had authority. She stood tall, her chest puffed out and her gaze was hard. She was about to say something, and then she noticed it. The sky was still clear, there were no clouds creeping across the starlit night, Starclan approved! Her maw curled up a little at the corners, as long as they had Starclan on their side, they could not be stopped. "Perilstar and I have found unexpected love with one another, and so as a result Tempestclan and Celestialclan will be merging, Celestialclan shall be moving to Tempestclan camp. As for Starclan, I figure that the clear sky says all, if any cat still wishes to question us, then you are also questioning Starclan. Together our clans will be known as Cipherclan!" She meowed clearly, after stepping up to stand tall beside Perilstar.
Citrusflower opened her mouth to gasp, but she was choked up by a sneeze and took a moment to catch her breath again. Her breathing was raspy and hoarse as she looked up at her leaded with pleading eyes. She felt so weak, and faint, and now this? She could not believe it! But ah yes love, the feelings that had driven her to have kits with Lightningstrike, sheknew it very well, but goodness! They were not allowed to have mates in different clans, why should the leaders? How on earth could she live with those Tempestclan cats?
Nettlescreech yowled in protest and pushed his way to the front to challenge Perilstar, what made him think he could do this? Then his own leader, Vividstar, started to speak, and out of respect he snapped his maw shut. He had been taught to have respect for his leader, and other clans leaders, but was this not going a bit far? Then Starclan was mentioned and he looked up at the sky. Was he brave enough to question Starclan? Was any of this really fair, on anyone? He let out a low growl through gritted teeth and his claws teased the ground.
Winterpaw let out a gasp as her eyes began to tear up. Instantly she turned and fled to stand beside her mother, Citrusflower. She pressed close to her ill mother, she didn't care if she goot ill for wanting to be close to her mother. She sniffed and looked around her for the other Celestialclan cats? This was hopeless! They were moving, and they couldn't stop it, could they?

Stormwind shot a hurried glance at the sky, frowning deeply as no clouds moved to cover the moon. But that meant StarClan approved...But why? For as long as the warrior clans had thrived, the warrior code had been set down. No love between cats of different clans, just like she could never have any love such as a mate. But it's been broken several times, and continues to do so without StarClan objecting or trying to stop it." A voice whispered in her head. The voice had an evil tinge to it, one that made Stormwind's fur stand on end.
Shaking her head with a snort, she turned her gaze to Lynxstar, the most experienced of all the leaders. She wouldn't stand for this, would she?
Whimsysky snorted. CipherClan? There was no way that she would ever be able to say that name without shame now. Turning her violet eyes to settle on Thunderpaw, she growled lightly and threw her leader a furious gaze. Vividstar seemed right now just to be caring about her 'love'. She was not suffering too much in Whimsysky's eyes. She was the one forcing them to accept this outrageous proposition. Still standing beside Thunderpaw, she gently layed her tail across his shoulders in a comforting gesture. Exchanging a look with Ravensecret, she spoke up. "Surely TempestClan's camp isn't large enough to hold us all Vividstar. What will be done about that?" She yowled, trying desperately to think of anything that would make her leader see sense.

Aquasplash listented to Vividstar, her eyes still cold. She was young, she knew that. Not as old as most of the cats in the clearing. But she thought thsi was wrong. Very wrong. She didn't like this one bit. Why on earth did Vividstar go along with this. Did these two leaders take lessons in stupidity? If not, it was mistakeable enough.
"Oh what a fine example of clan Loyalty," She said sarcastically, directed at Vividstar.
VIvidstar, she looked up to. Who had taken her to become a medicine cat. She had been their seconds after Ghoststar died. Did anyone care for the warrior code anymore? Obviously not.

Perilstar was proud of the she-cat. He could say that much. Maybe there was more to Vividstar than just gaining power. She actually had some wit about her. Well that was a good thing. He hadn't made a terrible choice after all. She was handling this well and then there was the name Cipherclan. He was now leader of Cipherclan, though Vividstar was as well. As he spotted a cat below speaking up he noticed it as the medicine cat of the once Celestialclan. He wanted to speak up and maybe he should. "Aquasplash she is showing loyalty to Cipherclan. And you are not. If you wish to start things off this way..." His voice was quiet and calm. He wouldn't loose his cool. Not yet at least.
Divinemoon smirked silently knowing she was part of Cipherclan now. She knew something like this was to happen and she couldn't help but turn to the tom beside her. He was obviously a handsome tom and she would like to think that they would be in the same clan. Of course they were, he was in Tempestclan and she was in Celestialclan, though now...they were both in Cipherclan. "Guess I'll be seeing you around." She mewed softly. Though everybody was making a big deal about this she was almost happy. She had seen that Celestialclan was becoming a goody good clan. Maybe Perilstar and Vividstar getting together would change them for the best.

Thunderpaw's thick pelt bushed out in anger, as he let out a small snarl. Growling lowly, he hissed to Whismsysky, "I refuse to be in this Clan! Even I know better than THAT, Whimsysky! I mean, they're acting like two apprentices in love, and they're are NOT in love! Look at this! They're endangering TWO Clans for this 'love'."
Thunderpaw shot a glance of to their Medicine Cat, Aquaspash, before staring at Vividstar and snarling, "What if we refuse to join your new Clan!? This goes completly against warrior code."
Thunderpaw layed his ears back flat, showing his distaste before flicking his tail wildly. Hearing an angered yelp, Thunderpaw squinted his eyes. He had hit someone with his tail. Thunderpaw growled lowly again before staring at Vividstar again. |
