Ghoststar yowled and leaped onto an almost transparent rock. "Cats of Starclan, gather before me!" She yowled. Sure enough, starry figures began to appear around her. She could even say she was slightly nervous sitting before generations of clan cats and leaders, much wiser than herself, but this had to be done. "Cipherclan?" She began. She was sure most of them knew what this would be about, but she had to start somewhere. "Two clans merge, yet, the rest of us do not seem to disapprove, can't you see the danger Vividstar is in?" She pleaded. The old Celestialclan leader just looked at her as if to say that it was the she-cats own fault. She growled and jumped down so she was on level ground with the cats listening to her. "Listen to me!" She pleaded, something she would never have been caught doing very often. "I can smell trouble, we need to warn them!" She meowed clearly. She looked helplessly around her, as if she was a kit again, searching for something to grab onto, someone to side with her.
Citrusflower slipped forward and rolled her eyes. She dipped her head low, then looked Ghoststar in the eye. "With no disrespect to you, I can see you have a concern for your former deputy, but can you really see us telling Vividstar to fall out of love with Perilstar? If I am incorrect, tell me so, but I do believe it is not in our nature to tell cats to fall out of love, plus Vividstar would never believe us, she is too entranced by Perilstar." She meowed, wrinkling her nose as she said the Tempestclan leaders name.

A starry cat on the edge of the clearing looked up at Ghoststar, his blue eyes troubled. Without a word to anyone, the cream and brown tom gracefully stood and headed toward the leader, his tail held high. It didn't take him long to reach the front ranks; as a newer StarClan cat, he wasn't considered 'old' enough to sit with the others that had been there longer. The medicine cat cleared his throat and sat down, curling his tail around his paws. "Ghoststar, if I may say something. Like Citrusflower said, Vividstar is too 'in love' with Perilstar to heed warning from StarClan right now. Besides, what's to say that they'll even listen? Apparently they don't care about the warrior code anyway; why would they start obeying it now?" Aspenfrost meowed, flicking the tip of his long tai.

She sat listening. Listening to the cats of Starclan yowl around about Perilstar and Vividstar. In her eyes the young tom had done as he should. Good. As all seemed to quiet down the she-cat let a cruel poisonous laugh slide from her maw. The she-cat had not been forgotten, some still spoke about her time and time again. Though that was when Tempestclan existed...it was now Cipherclan. Pushing her way through the other bodies of Starclan cats the moonlight shone down upon her in her ghostly form. The silvery pelt that was her own gave her a formidable look. It fitted her. "Oh hush you old fur-ball. Ghoststar you speak nonsense. I do enjoy a good show, why not let them put it on for us." The she-cat laughed shaking as she did so. She was still in a good age, and in her personality. "You speak of Perilstar as if that is a bad name, but isn't Vividstar equally responsible. Or would that be your fault for picking a naive and young she-cat too stupid to make the decisions that benefit her clan, and not that of others?" The cold voice snaked its way to Ghoststar. Oh yes, most would remember this voice. It was Tearstar, no doubt. And beside her stood the golden bengal son of hers...Leapingflame. Though Reapingdusk was still below them. Enjoying the show....

Ghoststar snapped her head up to look at Aspenfrost. "Love." She said and snorted once. "Well if every other cat shouldn't be in 'love' if they are in different clans, why should they? How is any of this fair? On any of us?" He hissed. Her fur bristled and danced in the cool nippy breeze that they were wrapped in, like feathers in duvets, or something similar to that. Then camp Tearstar. "Oh dear Tearstar do hush-hush, we all know any Tempestclan cat would clearly take the side of Tempestclan, I tell you one thing, I will make sure my clan are strong again, Celestialclan will be strong, and they will stand alone, minus Tempestclan." She hissed. Her tail lashed from side to side, she wasn't happy, not, one, little, bit. "Perilstar is a bad thing, he only wants Vividstar so he can get more power, and you are accusing me of choosing the wrong deputy, what about Perilstar? I do believe he is a greedy little snitch, and also, a very wrong choice for a deputy, he might as well end up destroying the whole forest, so you could say that you picked the wrong deputy which led to a serise of very wrong decisions being made." She snapped and turned of her heels and took her place near the head of the group of gathered cats. She dipped her head to the more experienced generations of cats. "Forgive me, but I have a right to be concerned about what is happening below us." She meowed.

Tearstar snorted lightly. This she-cat didn't know what she was talking about. What a dumb thing. Pity to say she was a leader once. "Look everybody Ghoststar thinks she knows something." Her laughter was cruel and twisted in the air like smoke. "I did not choose Perilstar, I chose Whitedeath as my deputy. So do not accuse me of things I have not done." Her voice cracked through the silence. "And hypocritical are we tonight? Looking down on me for choosing my clan yet you do the same. Oh poor Vividstar, stranger danger stranger danger." Tearstar sneered lightly rolling her eyes and flicking her tail in annoyance. Her eyes sparkled lightly with amusement. "What is happening below us is something that must go the way it is going. Four clans to one is simply something we cannot fret about. The leaders now are to make their own choices as we have once made ours. We did not interfere when Maliceclan was attacking, so shall we sit this one out as well? I think we shall. For what good will come from us interfering now? The damage is already done. Let us sit back and wait. " Her voice rose over the cats. She was one of the eldest here. She had been here longer than Ghoststar. The old bag of fur should just shut her trap. Tearstar's fur bristled lightly and she felt her son tense beside her.

"Enough." With a sharp crack, his voice rang out, echoing through the stars and bouncing back to the ranks' glittering, alert ears louder than before. Through the crowd stepped a massive, bulky ginger tom, face whiplashed with scars and his matted white tail stood erect, torn off partway that showed a battle never to be forgotten. Vertigostar let out a hiss, and wound his ratty tail around his flank, dealing Tearstar a cold topaz glare through narrowed eyes, and then porceeded to bob his massive head, standing before the crowd of steadily murmuring cats. "Tearstar, it is childlike of you to reprimand Ghoststar for being concerned with the fate of all of the clans, and your pride with swelling, dear. Don't let your TempestClan heart cloud your judgement," His deep voice was rough and crackling with seasons of hoarse barking of orders. "Ghoststar is right on the subject. We cannot allow Perilstar's conquest to continue, for it will effect every feline in the Mountain Lake territory, distracting them while the black tom's band grows and propers with every sunrise. They need to focus on Delirium, and not an arrogent leader with a taste for ambition. I agree with the others though, that Vividstar is confused in a way that I cannot blame her for. She is naiive and imaginative, not ideal for the hardships that the average leader must face, and with your sudden death Ghoststar, all the pressure was on her. She was forced to make a decision and she chose the wrong path. It is not something we can correct, but somehow, we must intervene from them perminently joining." The eldest tom's vocie soared to the Higher Sky as he spoke, his ugly face set it determination while his battle-worn frame trembled with passion for his clan, the litters that had been born, and hatred for these spawn of MaliceClan. "I have seen no prophecy of these hard times, but the signs have not been active for moons, so how can we trust them now? We must think for ourselves, and plan a way to separate CelestialClan and TempestClan, if possible, without war. Delirium awaits and with the clans battlign each other, it gaurentees final defeat." He showed no age as a fire blazed in golden-orange eyes.

Ghoststar was disappointed with the way she had handled Tearstar, she was glad when Vertigostar spoke up, she could have only seen it resulting in an argument. "It is true I did not intend to die so early so early on in my life, nor have my lives taken so quickly from me, but Delirium are very dangerous, hopefully Vertigoclan and Zephyrclan are thinking about them, Cipherclan are clearly too busy with other arrangements to thin about Delirium, when of course they murdered me." She hissed gently. She took a soft breath. "Well Vividstar is in a very tight position, it would take some sort of a miracle that we can not perform for things to be the way they were, as for her useless mother, Sombersnow, she is no help at all, maybe it would be ok if Sombersnow stepped in and helped her daughter, but that is clearly not in her nature, all that I can currently see would be to reincarnate Vividstar, I think she could have a better life if she tried again, and as it happens I do believe kits are on Perilstars mind." She meowed softly. She looked around her at the group that had gathered. Catching Citrusflower's eye she dipped her head to the she-cat in apology. "We need to speak with a cat as they sleep." She added.

Tearstar smirked lightly as Vertigostar showed his face. Ah there he was. That old thing looked like he could topple over any moment. She had to imagine what other cats might show their faces. More than likely the other three founding leaders might. Who knew? Curling her tail around her paws as she sat, Tearstar listened for once. Her mind cleared. They expected her to not be a Tempestclan cat. They expected her to reform and maybe that was for the best. After all the job of Starclan was to keep the others safe. Laughing as Ghoststar spoke of kits she couldn't help but remember what her conniving ways had done. Silkenvine, a former Tempestclan queen, originally going to end up with two kits would end up with three. Maybe the third was the key? Nah. It was doubtful. There had to be another cat that was already born in the damned clan. "Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't Silkenvine about to have kits? And if I'm not mistaken, one will be different than the rest." A small smile formed upon the she-cats lips. Maybe she could reform her ways and try to help the clans out. After all, she wasn't just a leader of Tempestclan anymore, she was guidance for all clans. "I'm not saying that , that particular kit will be of any help. For she has not been born yet. There may be another cat......." She was hoping the other former leaders could think of one for she would have to ponder on this for some while.
((Selfish of me to say, but I didn't think of this just until now. I made Splitkit as more or a Celestialclan lover even though she's a Tempestclan cat. She puts on a fake TC mask for her parents and yet is happy go lucky, CC is the bomb around her friends. Perhaps she can get involved somehow? She's not born yet but I was just thinking.......anyways I'm not sure really. I'm positive there's other cats to relay the message to.))

ooc// sorry Raid but I think Silkenvine's kits will be born a bit too soon for that, plus vividstar would need to have been pregnant before her for that to work out because she would obviously have to have her kits before she dies, as I don't believe it possibly for a dead cat to give birth. Also I was hoping to make CC tougher....
Ghoststar tensed slightly as Tearstar began to speak again, but soon relaxed, Tearstar knew her place, just like she did. On the ground, they were once two of the most respected cats in the forest, but to Starclan, they were like clueless kits, considering the many generations that had lived before them. "I think that may be a bit too soon, plus of course she will be born a Tempestclan kit, I am not sure Vividstar would be too happy with that, even though she wont remember her past life. Plus, if she was to be Silkenvine's kit we couldn't exactly expect her to drop dead the minute the kits were born, but it does however look as though Bengalshriek has something planned." She meowed gently. She turned to look at Vertigostar. "What are your thoughts on this idea?" She asked.
An elegant she-cat, with a pelt such a pale color of grey it was silver, slipped through other cats to be beside her daughter. Her calling was Pearlfang, and she was the mother of Ghostsoul, rather Ghoststar. When she died, she had died peacefully in her slumber, and faded away to Starclan, having lived a long happy life in Celestialclan. She could remember even when Tearstar first became the leader of Tempestclan. Coming to Starclan had restored some of the beauty of her youth, but she was not the stunning she-cat she once was, but as she stood next to her daughter, you could see how the two she-cats looked similar. "I believe it would be good for Vividstar too have a second chance at life, yet if we cannot do anything, I think we should leave things be, but of course not forgetting Delirium, we need to make sure the clans are more aware of them than some petty little love." She meowed and flicked her tail dismissively as she had finished what she was saying, something Ghoststar did quite often. "What do you think Wolfpelt?" She asked as a large, handsome, battle-scared tom joined her. He hissed lightly. "I agree we should be looking after the clans, but we should not concern ourselves with this fake love, all cats should learn from their mistakes." He snapped. He was the father of Ghoststar, he had died at a younger age in a harsh battle fought between clans.

A young beautiful she-cat padded through the cool mist surrounding the speaking cats. She was too young to be in this holy place, but that she could only blame herself for and do nothing about. For Crispwind had been a foolish young warriors, mating before she should have. Dieing because her body was not yet ready for giving birht. But that pain was ovr now, and the white cat's chocolate eyes held nothin of it any longer. Instead, they held anger, feirce rage. And yet the yheld wisdom, knowladge of her Clan and what was going on. She sat down with her fellow StarClaner's. She listened, and flicked ehr tail as Tearstar ranted, and Vertigostar got angry, and while Ghoststar took charge. She sat still, waiting while cats were asked their opinions, and when she couldbear it no longer, after Wolfpelt spoke.
"Fake? Is that what you'll call it Wolfpelt?" she snorted i ncontempt. "No I thinkyou fail to see what is going on here. Tearstar do not be angry wit hme for speaking so of TempestClan's leader, but he is a liar and manipulater." her heart wrenched to say so of her Clan, but it had to be done. 'We all can clearly see that Vividstar is fallig in love with Perilstar, and for his evil plan. Yes, she chose wrongly but her judgement was overshadowed with somethign stronger, love. Yes Ghoststar Perilstar may have kis on his mind, but what if she does too?" her voice ended sadly, no more then a whisper. But they could all hear her clearly, and Crsipwind knew it. Her chocolate brown eyes glanced around the clearing. How she wished to step foreward and stand by Ghostar, but she knew they might take it wrongly. For not many were wise as this young cat was, not at her age.
ooc; Is that post ok>>I'll chage it if needed but is it alright?

Ghoststar nodded to her mother Pearlfang. It was weird how her mother showed her the respect of a leader, when she still felt that her mother was much higher up in the rankings of herself. "Yes, they must beware of Delirium, perhaps our kin can help us with that, Pounceflash, Chaosflight? Or any of my remaining brothers, not to doubt how dependable other cats might be, but they are well experienced warriors, whom are very much for their clan." She meowed. Then she turned to address Crispwind. "Is it right for her to be wronged in that way Crispwind? Yes, I see what you are saying, yet, I feel she should be able to have kits in a proper relationship, even if she does believe it is a proper one." Ghoststar told Crispwind. She looked among the faces around her. "Tearstar, Vertigostar, what do you think?" She asked.
Wolfpelt growled, it sounded like crisp leaves being torn with great precision. His pelt bristled like a pelt of shattered glass. "Of course he is a liar!" He boomed. He lashed his tail a couple of times and rolled his eyes like these in-polite warriors were doing these days. Settling down again he brought his paws in beneath him and stuck his chest out. "That tom deserves a good lashing, and I will be first in line, and don't tell me to respect a tom like that! Yes, ok he is a leader, big flipping Starclan! I respect cats that deserve it! He abuses his position like nothing before, and as for that Shard, oh don't get me started!" He spat in his rough husky tone. "And I can prove that I speak up too, see most of these scars, they come from my harsh tongue, but it only tells it like it is!" He rasped. He sighed. "Tearstar, yes you have earned your respect from me as being a strong wise leader, but honestly, you can't expect it of me to respect a tom who makes decisions like that." He added.

Slowly a lithe she-cat moved through the crowd, the cats parting to let her through with ease. No one would try to defy her; no one would dare. The cream and brown she-cat was almost too faded to see by now. Her coat was mostly stars after hundreds of moons of belonging to StarClan. This she-cat was about the proudest of them all, though her courage and wisdom had helped her build her clan with her own two paws. A pair of green eyes sliced through the argueing cats as the ancient CelestialClan leader pushed to the front. "All of you, stop it! How is fighting between us going to help our clans?" Celestialstar demanded. Long tail lashing, she turned her gaze to Ghoststar. Eyes softening, the she-cat gave her fellow leader a grim smile. "Ghoststar, I want to help our clan as much as you want to. But right now Vividstar is too clouded by love to see. Love can block out reason, and can cause a war. Which is what we must try to prevent. The question is how? How can we stop this madness? How do we stop this combined clan from taking down the other two remaining?"

Ghoststar flicked her tail. "Lynxstar is meeting with Wreathedstar in the near future, they are not stupid leaders, unlike the other two at the present." She meowed. Before she had a chance to say anything else she flinched as she felt the pain her brother had just experienced. She growled and slammed her paw against the ground. "Excuse me." She hissed through gritted teeth and stalked off with her tail held high. She needed to be down there right now.
Ghoststar to Celestialclan.

Crispwind nodded as Ghoststar spoke. "Of course I feel so too, and I hate the fact that it may not happen that way Ghoststar. But sadly it is a fact we cannot ignore. Vividstar thinks Perilstar loves her, and that he is [lanning this merge for the better of both of them. So she might still want to have kits, no matter how much we don't want her too." a strong sadness filled her eyes. That was how she had died. Giving birth to three stillborn kits. They were all here with her in StarClan of course, but the young cat was to young to belong to StarClan. She turned as Wolfpelt spoke harshly, and she was glad he agreed with her, so strongly too. She nodded, and as yet one more cat came from behind she hissed in suprise and fright. Her head fell in a courtious bowed position as Celestialstar came forth and broke between the other cats. Wolfpelt was to strong minded, mind you she was too. Crispwind listned, her brown eyes flikering from cat to cat and her anger returning. Though she had been in StarClan a while, she was not yet mastered at holding her tougne.
Ghoststar left, needing to be alone for a while, and Crsipwind had a deep urge to follow the wise leader. She knew it might end badly, but she stood anyways and slipped away from the rest of the cats, following the scent of CelestialClans former leader.She noticed where Ghoststar was going, and her heart pounded, why would she go to CelestialClan now? They had not yet decied on anything or what to do yet! She just kept walking while questions gathered in her head. [/size] Crsipey to CC.
