We Must Prepare (Clan Gathering)

[Deleted]

Nightstar

It was the night after the gathering, she probably should have announced everything that had happened when they had returned but all she had been able to think about was the meeting with Ravinestar. After they had returned to the gathering she had sent out patrols and hunting parties then told her deputy she needed to be alone to think about all that had happened and told him she may not return until well after morning but to continue with what was needed to be done. She stated she would check the border of Ravineclan so not to worry about sending a patrol that way. After that, she had met with Ravinestar and had the best time of her life. Having to leave him come morning had been the hardest thing she had ever done.

Now, night had come once more and it was time to speak before her clan and announce what had happened. She launched herself out of her den and onto the branch just above it and let out a yowl that echoed through the camp. "Let all cats strong enough in their powers of the shadows come forward and gather beneath the great tree for a meeting of our clan." Her tail thrashed, she'd give anything to be curled up right next to Ravinestar in his den. But no this was her clan, she had started this clan and she had responsibilities to lead them the best she could. As she waited for her clan to gather below she thought of what life would be like if she had been born in Ravineclan. She would probably have been named Nightsky or something of that sort and she would probably be in the nursery with a belly full of kits that belonged to Ravinestar. Oh, how the thought sent shivers through her. Unknown to her as she thought these thoughts that deep inside her belly just beginning to grow where four kits that did indeed belong to Ravinestar.

Bluehawk

Bluehawk woke up and began to stretch, it was time to get to work and send out hunting and border patrols. But before he could even figure out who he would send to do what he heard the call of Nightstar to gather. Finally, he had been waiting for her call. She had told the patrol not to speak a word of what happened during the gathering until after she had called a meeting. That hadn't been easy for everyone wanted to hear what had happened. Some had already begun to sense a change in them but had yet to discover their newly given powers. Getting up he padded out of the warriors den and walked to the high branch and sat down beneath it looking up at his leader.

Snowkit

Over a moon had come and gone since Nightclan had welcomed her into the clan. Though she still had trouble trusting others she had begun to trust two specific cats. One was Nightsnow the medicine cat who had taken such gentle care of her after she had found her half dead. Her left eye had never healed and she would never be able to see out of it but that was ok. Her hearing on that side seemed to be becoming stronger. The had tried to move her into the nursery but she had wailed and ran back the Nightsnow's den. She was to frightened to go in there all alone for their where no queens or kits and she didn't like the fact that she had no one to protect her in there.

As the call from Nightstar rang out her ears pricked up and waited to see if Nightsnow would let her come out with her to see what was happening. Snowkit rarely left the medicine den but she was curious and wanted to hear the news.

Berrytail glanced fast at Nightstar as she called the meeting before walking to the Great Tree where she sat down waiting for what was going to happen.As the ginger tabby sat waiting,more and more cats began coming to heard the possible news Nightstar was going to share with them.

[Ishararain]

The five year old , seventeen and a half pound, sixteen inch tall forty-eight inch long, Warrior that had recently joined up with NightClan and recently found he could command the Shadows quite well, paced along the terrain beneath his snow dipped paws. His ears switched to get the sounds of everything around him.

Even though his right ear was missing a chunk out of the outside edge, he still retained most of his hearing on that side though it was slightly muffled. His remaining right deep yellow-amber coloured eye watched as he scanned his world and then a yowl rang out over the entire territory. 

The voice was unmistakable and tilting his head so that his left ear heard the sound better than the right side, Rissenstorm stopped and immediately spun around to answer the call of Nightstar. Calling from his large muscular frame a speed that might not be expected from a cat his size, the tom covered the distance between his current location to the trees that made a circle and was the gathering place for his Clanmates.

He had hoped to be one of the first cats to answer his leader's call but he was the fifth cat to her. As he padded into the circle he dipped his head to Nightstar as he looked up to her on her branch, "Good evening Mi'Lady Nightstar." Then he turned and dipped his head to the Deputy of the Clan Bluehawk "Evening Bluehawk." Than to another clanmate called Berrytail, "Evening Berrytail." And then he smiled as his remaining eye fell upon the little white kitten he had run into a few days ago, the one he had been called It previously. "Hello Snowkit. How's the Clan life treating you?"  Rissenstorm asked as he sat down nearby and wrapped his long, fluffy, dark chocolate colored tail over his paws and waited to see what the call was about.

NIGHTSNOW NightClan Medicine Cat @firefly Ishararain Berrytail

Nightsnow heard her leader call a clan meeting and lifted her head in the general direction of Nightstar's place. She saw Snowkit and noticed how she waited, most likely for her to allow the white she-kit to go and watch the meeting. The black medicine cat smiled and smoothed down her floofy coat, to look presentable for the meeting, and approached Snowkit, who was healing very well from the wounds she'd received. "Do you want to watch the meeting, Snowkit?" she asked kindly, bringing her muzzle down to the little kit's level. "If so, you can ride on my back; I fear the snow might prove to cold for you, being so young."

Snowkit 

Snowkit looked up at Nightsnow and smiled excitedly at her. She was excited and slowly beginning to open up to others. "Yes please, I would like that very much Nightsnow." She quickly scrambled onto her back then curled up into her thick fur. She wondered what this was all about.

Bluehawk 

Bluehawk's tail twitched back and forth. He had a bad feeling that this had to do with what Onyx leader of Obsidianclan had said. He hoped there wasn't going to be a war but if there was one he would make sure he and the rest of his clan was ready and prepared for one. As everyone gathered he realized Blackpad was missing, as was Windpaw. He wondered where they could be.

Nightstar

Nightstar waited for her clan to gather. When all but a few were gathered beneath her she decided to begin. Though she did wonder where her apprentice was. "Now I imagine many of you who had not been to the gathering had been wondering what had happened and why no one would talk about it. Well, I had ordered them not to talk until I had, had time to think." Yes that was true but she had also wanted to meet with Ravinestar. "At the meeting, Bastet appeared and gave me this mark on my forehead." She bent her head to show the pure white paw print on her head. "He gave us powers over the shadows, I know a few of you have already noticed something was different and may have even begun practicing with your powers. Good keep practicing and work hard to master them as best as you possibly can. Now on to the other news..."



Nightstar paused not wanting to give this news but they had to be prepared. "We must begin to prepare for battle. I do not trust Obsidianclan and their leader Onyx. He has been disgraceful of Bastet and taunted our beliefs. Until he has earned our respect he shall not be Onyxstar but just plain Onyx. Now I fear he may try and attack us or Ravineclan who we have a truce with. We must be prepared, so from this night onward we will begin to train. Every day you will train your battle skills as well as your shadow skills. A patrol will go by the Obsidianclan border on the hour every hour night and day. Bluehawk I expect you to set up a schedule for each cat so they have time to hunt, patrol the borders and train." She took a deep breath. "Starting now I will take Rissenstorm and we will go and patrol the Obsidianclan Border then once that is done we shall begin training in the shadows. Bluehawk you set up the rest." With that, she dismissed her clan and with a twitch of her tail leaped down from the tree.

TIME SKIP (1 Moon)

"Let all cats strong enough in their powers of the shadows come forward and gather beneath the great tree for a meeting of our clan." Nightstar waited for all the cats to gather beneath her. It had been one moon since she had called the last meeting to begin the training for war if it happened. Thankfully it hadn't happened yet.



Once all were gathered before her she took a deep breath and smiled. "As you all know I'm pregnant. Now what none of you know is who the father is." She paused and took a deep breath. "The father of my kits is not from our clan but from Ravineclan. The father is none other but Ravinestar. Now before any of you say anything I want to let you know that our love is not the reason for the peace treaty between us but it does make it stronger. We have talked and we are going to open our borders to Ravineclan and they to us. We will be like one clan but separate at the same time. You are free to mingle with Ravineclan cats and they are free to mingle with us. It will be good for us and it will make our clans stronger and safer from other clans.

NIGHTSNOW NightClan Medicine Cat @firefly

Nightsnow watched from the medicine den as Nightstar announced the father of her kits. She had never told Nightsnow who he was, and she was shocked to find out. The fact that RavineClan cats and NightClan cats were now allowed to mingle gave the fluffy black she-cat a rush of excitement; they were stronger in numbers technically, and the future seemed bright. Perhaps some new friends could be made.

Blackpad watched the clan from the clearing, his eyes glinting in the light. He was curious about this new possible alliance with the clan, and tilted his head. Surely Starclan wouldn't allow it?
Regardless, he trusted his leader, and was more than happy to do as she ordered. He twitched his ears listening to the clan and leader looking at his clan mates eagerly.
He couldn't believe that his leader was going to have kits, and his paws itched. "I wonder what Torchclan will think of this.." he muttered to himself. He knew the Torchclan leader was not
one to change. However, Torchclan itself had a close relationship with Iceclan, yet the borders were still not opened..
