It was for once a clear sky as the 5 clans gathered once again together for a gathering. It was before any of the announcements so the many crowds were free to roam a bit and meet new friends and faces.


Kitestorm was very glad that her nephews were back home again safely. She couldn’t imagine how poor poppyshine had managed with all that. She knew what it was like to lose family members having lost dove recently was still very painful as she was now one of the last of her kin. She had done her best to comfort poppy when they were taken and now that they were back she was very happy for her sister in law to have some relief. All the same, she decided to keep close to poppyshine as they arrived at the gathering

“Do you think the other clans got their cats back too?” She whispered in question to the deputy





Echo paw arrived with thunderclan. Along his walk over he had already found some super cool rocks to add to his collection. When he got the chance to, he wondered a bit away to look for more cool rocks he wondered if anyone else shared his passion for collection of cool things. Hmm if they did he would for sure have a better collection than they would! And he would prove it to them too!




Astraeus Was out walking around when the sound of many many cats alerted his attention toward four trees his eyebrow raised slightly. He had been to a gathering before long long ago back when he was just a kitten, snuck in with the rest of his rowdy siblings and at the time had caused quite the scene indeed. He knew generally what they were. He wondered if he could find any familiar faces with the skyclan crowd. He went over and for awhile just sorta lurked around the edges observing things. He saw some familiar skyclan cats and headed that way.

((hnng I’m trying I’m trying this is harder than expected))

The walk from SkyClan territory seemed to be longer than she had expected. How many moons had passed since the forest had seen an uneventful, peaceful Gathering? Perhaps the elders had seen one or two, Birdstar thought bitterly as she paused on the rim of the clearing. The night air was peaceful and still. For a moment, she thought of heading back- of calling off this Gathering for SkyClan. What purpose was there? Someone would fight, or a murder would be revealed, or one of the other leaders would try to take advantage of her relative youth and cheat her out of territory SkyClan desperately needed. Her green eyes took in the clearing, lingering on one of the old oaks where lightning scars traced down thick bark. More proof that nothing good came of a Gathering.

Reluctantly, Birdstar flicked her tail and led SkyClan down into the hollow, leaping onto the Greatrock with a single bound and dipping her head to the leaders already there. None seemed overly stressed- or overly pleased. Perhaps, for once, the stars would favor them, and the forest would be blessed with a peaceful, uneventful Gathering.

Birdstar huffed in dry amusement. If that happened, she’d jump the Gorge.


Lighttail trailed behind ShadowClan as they flooded into the clearing, pelt shining in the moonlight. Her mother had recovered her memory- that should be a weight off her shoulders, but something indescribable still weighed her down, like rocks tied to her soul. The silver tabby’s eyes dully scanned the clearing, keeping an eye out for Stoatclaw or- Astraeus! He made her heart flutter just by his very presence. The ShadowClan molly trotted forwards, waving her tail. “How have you been?” She purred, sitting by the loner’s side.


Sleepyhollow was neck and neck with Russetrye as the two mollies raced to Fourtrees once more, at the head of the WindClan pack, just behind Shrikestar. The calico molly never would’ve admitted it out loud- but- well- every time she glanced over at Russetrye and saw the fierce determination in her friend’s eyes over something as simple and straightforward as a race- well- maybe her heart fluttered. A little. She set her eyes on the hollow, flooding into Fourtrees behind Shrikestar and skidding to a halt, just like she’d done at their first Gathering. Stars. How long ago had that been?

Glancing to Russetrye, Sleepyhollow purred a question. “Are we spying again, Russ? Once you recover from the walk here, of course,” she teased lightly. She prided herself on her ability to run, WindClan blood flowing in her veins- Russetrye, however, could be… hmmm… a bit slow, at times, through no fault of her own. Stars knew no one could match her energy, though. It- it was contagious, Sleepyhollow admitted to herself. She didn’t quite live up to her namesake very well with Russetrye around.

Birdstar is on the Great Rock
Lighttail is talking to Astraeus
Sleepyhollow is talking to Russetrye (it’s very weird being on the other side of these two lol)
I apologize to anyone who’s character I butchered

For Swiftheart, life has certainly changed for the better. Snowfoot, her dear friend, had recovered from her head trauma. Nightstar was back, and the clans had finally returned home! She should’ve been thrilled tonight. So why did her paws feel as if they were made of rocks? Maybe the mysterious disappearances of several cats, including experienced warrior Dappledlight, had something to do with it. Or maybe it was the fact that her brother had died. Recalling that never got any easier, was he really going to have to go through that eight more times?

Flutterpetal was smack in the middle of the WindClan party as they made for Fourtrees. Maybe some cats dreaded Gatherings, but the WindClan tom wasn’t one of those. He actually found them fascinating, full of chances to meet cats from other walks of life.

Batsong was quick to move to the spot where the medicine cats usually sat. Socializing wasn’t her strong suit by any means, but she was getting to a point with the other med cats where things almost felt comfortable. After all, she saw them twice a moon. The black she-cat let out a soft purr. Maybe this evening wouldn’t be so bad.
