Something has changed witin me...Something is not the same....I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game.....[img src=" "] Minnowpaw was on edge, to say the least Amungst the already large group of cats, only a few vague faces that he caught as he passed looked familiar as clanmates. So far, Silentwing was the only one he'd fully recognized- and that wouldn't work, as he was talking to that other cat- and he couldn't interrupt nor trust himself to say anything intelligible in front of any stranger.
Soon, however, his paws grew sore, and weaving between feline bodies tiresome. So, he sat down with a soft thump, in order to rest,
He looked from where he sat- now somewhere near the edges of all cats already gathered. There were dozens of cats already here, most of them new. And Minnowpaw was sure the group was so far only made up of his clan, and Snowclan! It was a little overwhelming, but, at the same time, excitement tinged with fear began to tingle in his paws.Too late for second guessing.....Too late to go back to sleep....It's time to trust my instincts, close my eyes....and leap.....

"Silentwing," The sleek black tom replied, glowing yellow eyes studying the she-cat before him. "It is good to meet you, Raindance, I saw you at your leaders side a second ago, as a deputy would be...?" He paused, a question in his voice, though not sure if he should have asked when all the clans were present.
Brushing that last though aside, he waited as a cold breeze wafted through the air, ruffling his fur noiselessly. He curled a firm tail around his paws, glancing at Raindance once more.
With this life I give you nobility and certainty and faith. Use it well as you lead your clan in the ways of StarClan and the warrior code.

Phoenixpaw poked her head into a group of warriors, who looked at her sternly. She dipped her head respectfully before withdrawing from the group. The apprentice was obviously not there. She turned, her tail flicking. She looked around again. her eyes narrowing, trying to draw in as much of the remaining light as possible. It was hard to see cats in the hollow, as shadows played with her mind. She suddenly did a double take. There was the little apprentice, sat on his own on the edge. Phoenixpaw trotted past Heavyheart, Raindance and Silentwing, glancing quickly on her new friend. She picked up her pace a little, and soon reached the apprentice with a friendly twitch of her whiskers. "Who are you?" she meowed brightly. "I'm Phoenixpaw."

Parting her jaws, she detected the smell of ocean and snow, and could hear the low murmurs of greeting coming from the cats who had already arrived.
Where is PineClan? she wondered. JaggedClan was already late because of the patrol! Perhaps PineClan was facing a similar problem? Brushing off the thought, approached the area and looked around. Indeed, SandClan and SnowClan had already arrived, and she flicked her tail, indicating that her clan should enter the clearing.
Padding confidently up to the Knotted Tree, she leaped upon a higher branch alongside Moonstar. Noticing the SnowClan leader's glossy fur, Wildstar gave her knotted, mangled pelt a self-conscious lick. "Greetings Wavestar, Moonstar," she mewed, dipping her head to the two leaders, "Sorry for being late. How's the prey running?"
+
Raindance purred at the tom, pleased that he had noticed her position as deputy. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Silentwing! Yes, I'm deputy of SnowClan. Just recently appointed--you weren't here last gathering, I presume?" she glanced around as she scented rock and wind. JaggedClan had arrived, and she dipped her head to the leader Wildstar before turning back to face her acquaintance.

~||~ Stormcloud slipped into the clearing, feelign the familiar tingle of excitement that the Gathering had brought him as an apprentice, and still brought him now. Tail flicking back and forth in glee, the tom forgot about Bonepaw and her having to stay at camp momentarily as he padded over to whom he thought to be a SandClan tom and SnowClan's deputy. Stormcloud sniffed the air and realised that PineClan weren't there yet. As to why that was, he had no idea. Shaking away the question, the dark gold tom ducked his head to the two senior cats in greeting. "Hello, I'm Stormcloud. You're Raindance, the new deputy, aren't you?" He meowed to the silvery she-cat with admiration before flicking an ear to the tom, "But I don't think I know who you are - sorry." ~||~

Moonstar flicked her gaze towards the black night sky above, then to the cats that had just streamed into the clearing. It was hard to tell how many JaggedClan had grown by, as the shadows made it hard to decipher. She kept her eyes on the cats milling around the hollow while Wildstar leaped up beside her. She listened to her greeting, and dipped her head shortly, her gaze now on Phoenixpaw. But when Wildstar continued, she was dearly tempted to say, Well, the prey is running quite fast actually. But she kept this thought to herself, and meowed strongly, "Very well, thank you. How are things in JaggedClan?" she wondered idly if any other kits in their Clan had been born, and her mind flitted to her own kits back in SnowClan camp. She hoped they were fine, and then reassured herself that Mossfoot, Silverwish and Gladeshadow were there to guard them.

Wavestar glanced up at Wildstar, reaching up so the her paw rested on a stiff bough, the she-cat rapidly hauled herself up so that she was at eye-level with the other two leaders. "The prey's running around pretty fast..." Wavestar replied casually, "I mean, I would, if I were prey..." She paused, realizing that the two leaders probably had better things to think about, then she changed her mind, no, it wasn't like Moonstar had recently had kits and Wildstar had a rather inactive deputy.

Why did she have to be such a clumsy leader? And where was Yewstorm? That cat hadn't been seen in ages! Hiding her annoyance, she glanced at the two leaders beside her.
"All is well in JaggedClan, thanks," was her curt response, and she wrapped her tail neatly around her paws--or, as neatly as a cat with scraggly, messy fur could. She really wanted to ask if anything had been heard from the ocean cats, but didn't dare. If SandClan has anything to report, she told herself, they'd report it. Glancing at the clear, still sky, she wondered how long it would take PineClan to arrive.

Oakwood clambored into the clearing. At least here the ground was smoother. JaggedClan was not a good place for an elder to live, he decided, and hobbled over to the foot of the tree, sitting down slowly and grunting as his hindquarters hit the cold, hard ground. No cat was getting him up! If they wanted to talk, they could come right here and do so, he decided.
Glancing around and parting his jaw, he recognized the scents of SandClan and SnowClan, and a wave of nostalgia washed over him. The scents hadn't changed in the slightest, and he remembered his first gathering, how he had charged down the cliff face, struggling not to run ahead of his leader, and gazed around the clearing with wide eyes. Now, he was struggling to catch up, and could fall asleep here if he so desired. How things had changed!

The closer he approached the Knotted Tree, the more he could detect the mingled scent of cats, and the low mews of greetings, so that he didn't even bother to stop as he slowed his pace, walking gracefully into the clearing.
Sure enough, JaggedClan, SnowClan, and SandClan were all late. Hoping that he wouldn't be approached by any friendly cats like he was last time, Needlegaze padded to the base of the tree, sitting down stiffly, and scrutinizing the leaders of his rival clans.
Wildstar looked clumsy and unkempt. Remembering Miragestep's visit to her clan, he wrinkled his nose in disgust and turned his gaze to Moonstar, whose fur looked glossier, despite her looking slightly worn out. And for a cat who had just been in battle several suns ago, Wavestar was looking tip top. He watched them carefully, waiting for them to call the gathering to order.
+
Seapaw padded into the clearing. The air was eerily still. Odd, she thought, but not unheard of, and she looked around to see if there were any cats worth socializing with. She saw none, and was about to take a seat when she scented PineClan. They had arrived! She watched the entering cats carefully, watching for signs of Adderpaw's ginger pelt or Skypaw's black-and-white one, but saw neither. Deciding to give it time, she took a seat facing the woods in which they lived, straining to see through the darkness, jaw parted slightly, as she would most likely smell them before she saw them--the PineClan scent was so strong!

Wavestar dipped her head, then glanced around in confusement as PineClan arrived, but without their leader, Ebonystar.
She gazed down, spotting a nearby PineClan tom and leaning towards him.
"Where is Ebonystar?" The SandClan leader implored, surely Ebonystar hadn't died or stepped down? He was an able leader, and the only recent battles had been subjected around Ocean Sea.
[[Wait... is Ebony star there but we're leaving a post for Osaka to modify?]]

The broad-shouldered ginger apprentice burst into the Gathering with great enthusiasm. His dark green eyes glittered as they swept across the space before the knotted tree, picking up and discarding cat after cat. He heard his sister's soft pawsteps come up beside him at the same time he spotted Seapaw's sleek form and, flicking his tail for Skypaw to follow, the tom made his way swiftly over. "Greetings, Seapaw." He meowed, slightly aloof, "How are you?" Beside him, Skypaw's whiskers twitched, "He means, has anything happened since we left, about twenty heartbeats ago." After all, it wasn't like they hadn't actually witnessed pretty much everything that Wavestar would have to report.

Seapaw turned in surprise as she caught a whiff of the bitter scent of PineClan, and heard a familiar voice calling to her. Whipping around, she was pleased to see that both Adderpaw and Skypaw had arrived at the gathering, Adderpaw, seemingly in a better mood. Maybe the scent of pine had lifted his spirits for the several moments they had been away. He certainly did seem to be perkier.
"Gee, so much has happened since you've been gone, Adderpaw, it's almost too much to say in a moon," was her sarcastic response, but her eyes glittered with friendliness, and she gave a mrrow of laughter as Skypaw 'translated' for her brother.
"You didn't miss too much in PineClan, didja?" Seapaw added, tail twitching, "Have the trees been rearranged?" She remembered Adderpaw's impatience to get out of the SandClan camp, and wondered how a cat who had been irritable and moody that very sun could return so soon and be completely perky.

Wildstar gave a small mrrow of satisfaction as PineClan arrived in the clearing. Finally! And she thought JaggedClan had been late! Turning to the leaders beside her, she mewed, "Now that we're all here, should we begin?" She gave a small shiver. What would become of this gathering? Would they make a decision about Ocean Sea? She sighed, tail twitching in impatient wait for the meeting to begin.

"We should," Wavestar replied, gazing down at the cats, no, not gazing, staring at nothing, seeing right through them, her hazy amber orbs slightly dreamy. Then she snapped back into reality, glancing around, then, her eyes resting on Wildstar, she implored, "May I start?" Without waiting waiting for an answer, she stepped forward, waiting for conversation to seese.
