September 2012 Gathering

Occ: Sorry bout being inactive. ;.; Um...I'll just say that Stormstar was lagging somewhat behide because he had just had greencough.

Ic: There was a small huff as a tall dark grey tom covered with black lines, other then his legs, paws, and tail raced into the clearing, quickly weaving in and out of the cats as he hurried to the tall rock. Of course, his first gathering as leader and he was late. With a small flying leap, he jumped into the Highrock, giving a small sad glance at the other leaders as he dipped his head in apologize. "So, sorry. Just recovering from a sickness...got tired so easily..." he huffed, doing his best to catch his breath. He hadn't thought that the gathering would of started so soon, having just heard the end of Sagestar's words. Sitting down in his place, his gazed at his snow-white paws. Already as a leader he was showing WindClan's weakness. Letting out a small cough, he flicked his ears. Perhaps he should speak next? No, he had just got here, he would wait at least one other leader to speak.

Flamestar came up next, a quick confused glance at Stormstar. "Skyclan has been doing great. Prey is running well, and we have two new apprentices. Dawnpaw and Nightpaw!" He meowed loudly.

After Flamestar spoke, Stormstar let out a small sigh, taking a step forward. "WindClan is doing well. A small outbreak of Green-cough struck the camp but thanks to Wildheart, our medicine cat, nobody died..." he drifted off, letting out a small sigh. Other then for the fact that Stormstar had lost his first life... "Prey is great and well stocked, also we have two new apprentices as well, Mintpaw and Falconpaw!" After a small cough, the leader took a step back, flicking his long tail as he waited for the next leader to step forward.

"I wonder if (insert RC leaders name) will mention us" she whispered to herself her fur prickling and shaking with excitement.

ooc: Froststar.

ic: Lionstar stepped forward without looking at anyone except the crowd. His amber eyes scanned the cats below. "Thunderclan has been doing very well. We have plenty of prey to sustain us for moons to come and longer. We have two new apprentices: Dewpaw, and Flamepaw." He meowed, stepping back.

Feathersong let out a quick yawn. Training Gingerpaw did do a bit of a toll on her, since the apprentice was always so excited and happy. She nodded. It was nice to see the other Clans doing well, as they were as well.

The RiverClan leader studied Stormstar for a moment, noticing how weak he seemed. Perhaps he was getting over the Greencough he spoke of, and this made the she-cat a bit uneasy. She didn't want to get sick. Was Greencough contagious? Hm... After Lionstar backed up, Froststar focused her attention back on the Gathering, taking her turn to speak. She looked around, going over what she was going to say one last time before she spoke. "RiverClan is thriving, even with Leaffall approaching. We've been blessed with plenty new kits and apprentices. Frostpaw, Reedpaw, Nightpaw, Greypaw and Stormpaw are all training to be warriors. We also have a new medicine cat apprentice, Acornpaw, who is to be trained by Frogfoot." She finished, dipping her head and stepping back, her eyes flicking to the other leaders for a moment. That was everything I needed to say, right? I didn't sound stupid, did I?"

Reedpaw puffed his chest out as Froststar called his name, but he couldn't help but pay attention to Stormstar. Stormstar looks sick... I hope he's alright. He stopped himself in his thoughts there. It was supposed to be good that an enemy Clan leader was weak at the moment, right? Reedpaw didn't feel that way though, only feeling concern for the WindClan cat. He scolded himself mentally. He wasn't some kind of mouse-hearted medicine cat, he was going to be the fiercest and unsympathetic warrior the forest had ever seen!

...Maybe.

At the thought of being a medicine cat, Reedpaw shivered. As he thought about the idea of sorting and organizing herbs every day of his life instead of patrolling and living a life of excitement. No wonder medicine cats had won the stereotype of being cranky.

Coldheart smiled, happy to hear that the clans were doing well, except for Windclan. She thought that because of the way Stormstar looked, very concerned.

Nightpaw looked over the crowd to the RiverClan side she wanted to she the other apprentices. Why didn't the others come join us? Suddenly she felt self-conscious and turned away to the great rock. I want to b up there some day...Nightpaw thought as she gazed up at the leaders in awe. She complete ply overlooked the sickness Stormstar carried and remembered the storys told about every single one of them.

ooc: omg didn't see it...

ic: Swiftlegs sat next to his clanmates. He yawned, it was late.

Standing tall at the mention of her names she puffed out her chest and kept an eye open to the other apprentices " Ha we could beat them easily if we wanted too, once I'm a warrior they'll be bowing at my paws" she thought trumphantly



OOC: No she won't be a bad guy

When Mintpaw saw Stormstar make his way into the gathering coughing and carrying on, her heart sank. That was her mentor, would he still be able to train her? Many questions went through her mind. Although when Stormstar said her name, her gaze quickly dropped to the ground as she didn't know how many cats would be looking at her.

Coldstep looked up at the leaders. Her eyes shone bright in the moonlight, forgetting about Stormstar for a moment,

Flamestar wondered why everyone got silent so suddenly after all the leaders did their reports. It was as if everyone was like, "...What now?"

Maybe they were wondering what was wrong with Stormstar? Either way, the clans weren't exactly as chatty as they normally were after that little...event.

So he just sat there, examining the crowd silently.
