Gathering

Misty and Riverfall entered the island. Misty had plenty of other Clan members coming, and beckoned with her tail for them to follow. Willowsong, Lilyheart, Turqoisemist, Zephyrwind, Summersky, and Springtide followed.

From the southern island came Tigerfrost, along with Moonsnarl, Duskshine, Pantherclaw, Sandshadow, Dustcloud, Sootsong, Foxsong, Redsky, Dapplebird and Goldenpelt.

~~~~~~~

From the Northern island came Frostshard, with her deputy Lightninggaze, her medicine cat Rainstep, and her warriors and apprentices, Bladefire, Astralrain, Ashenspirit, Dovetalon, Blizzardstorm, Saphireeye, Emeraldcall and Rubysong.



The two clans hurtled towards the Gathering Island, swiftly crossing the tree bridges and streaking towards the clearing where the clans sat.

Misty sighed. She waited for Wolfsong to arrive. He was the only leader left, except for the new Clan, nightClan.

Lightninggaze sat quietly beside her leader. Her eyes sparkling with an unreadable expression.

Pantherclaw followed along silently. He took a seat a little away from some StreamClan wolves.

Icewhisker ran in late, his eyes flashing back and forth, even though he only saw darkness. He let out a huff, and sat down near some pine trees. He could hear some talking, some sounding like whispers. He had always been better at hearing and smelling, but today, something was messing with him.

"I wonder when we'll start." Misty said quietly to herself.

Wolfsong trudged along up to the gathering and sat down beside the other leaders.



"Sorry im late, these old bones are alot olden than I thought!" He chuckled, "But onto buisness, is the four clan leaders of the original four gathered?"



Behind him gathered the warrior foreststrike, swiftnight, and dyedscar.

Clearnight was sitting on her haunches beside her leader, as he began to speak. Clearnight's gaze was bright under the star-lit moon. Though her expression was not readable, Clearnight loved to be out of camp. Clearnight's large paws made deep impressions in the ground as she gazed around the Gathered wolves. Then she spotted her sister....

"Yes, we are all here," said Misty. She waited patiently.

Clearnight gazed at her sister wondering if she still remembered her. She then flashed back to reality and looked around the Gathering island. She then nodded.

"Then let this gathering begin..." He bowed his head slightly. "Nightclan will probably not show up, seeing as they know little of our lives. Now onto buisness, who would like to speak first?" He looked at the other leaders.

"I will." Frostshard stepped forward. "IceClan has fared well this season, with the addition of a lone wolf to our ranks. Prey has been good and two healthy pups have been born to Deathstar and Dovetalon." she finished, stepping back.

Wolf nodded his head, hearing Iceclan was well was great.



"I'll go now," He said stepping forward, "Forestclan has been doing tough a lone wolf killed a pup that wandered out on its own and pray is getting less, but were still doing fine." He took a step back and waited for the other leaders to continue.

"I will go now," said Misty, stepping forward. "Streamclan has been faring very well. Prey is common because of the river."

In the distance, a wolf followed by a small group advanced on the island, cutting through forestclan's territory and made it to the island. The leader jumped up onto the rock with the other leaders.



Wolfsong turned his head and looked at the new member on the rock.



"Hello son." Wolf bowed his head, "Where's nightclan's leader?"



The wolf turned his head to look at his father. "She hasn't been feeling well, she feels if she comes she may make others sick, if she does come then that's a sign she's better."

Clearnight's gaze turned from her sister, to the small group of wolves gathered at the edge of the clearing. Her breath coming in billows as she ajusted her sitting position.

Lightninggaze gazed at the newly arrived wolves, her eyes glowing curiously.

Clearnight then saw that the wolves behind her were starting to stare to. So she turned her gaze back to her sister. Trying to locate her in the jumble of pelts.

Lightninggaze then sensed that someone was watching her. She slowly and casually turned her head to see that Clearnight, ForestClan's deputy was staring at her intently. She cocked her head slightly, confused as to why the she-wolf seemed so interested in her.

Lightninggaze seemed confused at Clearnight's stare. Didnt she know? Clearnight thought to herself, worried that her long lost sister didnt know about how they were related.

Nightclan's deputy stepped forward, trying to hide his interest in the wolves staring at each other, he tried to break the silence.



"Nightclan, as you know, has just recently become a member to the great wolf pack. We are facing some pray drop as the great leaf-fall arives. That is all."



He stepped back and noticed dyedscar in the crowd. He focused on the crowd around trying not to draw attention to himself.



OOC: Major plot-twist of long lost sister-ish XD

Clearnight heard the NightClan deputy announce to the other Clans. She growled in acknowlegment. Oh, Lightninggaze, if only you knew!! Clearnight thought to herself as she stared at the NightClan deputy, then nodded in greeting. Clearnight's eyes glowed in the moonlight, making them each turn to a stunning color.

-Hahaha, thanks Wolfsong~Shadowsoul! It was a sudden thought that Clearnight and I discussed!-



Lightninggaze tore her eyes away from Clearnight and tried to focus on the gathering.

Clearnight felt a bit hurt from the way Lightninggaze looked away from her. I will see if I can get her attention at the end of the Gathering. Clearnight thought to herself. She took one last glance of her sister and then focused on the Gathering.

Wolfsong nodded his head, now all that was left was the southern clan to speak and the gathering would be concluded. Of course he to stay at the gathering until it was done but he was becoming warn.
