Fallingstar | Dawn Clan | Interactions Twigstar & Willowstar
Moonlight illuminated the forest as the sun settled down beyond the horizon. A few solitary stars dared to smile among the midnight sky. From the tops of the towering oaks to the prickly undergrowth, the territory was alight with silver and alive with the voices and paw steps of warriors. Dozens of cats trekked through the woods and marsh towards an island on the southern part of the lake. Thick groves of pine trees created a foreboding outline on the lake and obscured the clearing, where most of the cats congregated.
The first to arrive was Sky Clan, claiming the title as noblest of the clans and arriving just as the moon reached its exact peak in the night sky. Leading them was a broad-chested tom, icey eyes glinting in the silver lighting. He held his head aloft in a way that a cat unfamiliar with hierarchy would mistake him for the leader with nine lives. Behind Oakshadow, the rest of the warriors chosen to accompany Twigstar on the night of the full moon trailed their leader closely.
Not far behind, the rustling could be heard coming from the treeline. The owners of the territory were heard before they were seen and clung to the shadows as if it was their essence. Dusk Clan approached the Gathering Island, keeping a comfortable distance between them and their Sky Clan brethren. Towards the right flank of their leader, Willowstar, a slender tortoiseshell and white she-cat scanned the Sky Clan cats with spruce-colored eyes.
The cats filed into the Clearing of Pines and began to converse among each other. Despite the tension between the cats of the lake, Sky Clan and Dusk Clan had been on relatively peaceful terms with each other. With the warm and plentiful moons of Leaf-Green coming to a close, however, the coming scarcity of prey would tell if this laxness would hold. Both Leaders and their deputies ascended to the lower branches of the Great Oak and loosed their yowls, calling the Gathering to begin. Before either of them could speak, however, surprised gasps arose from the crowd.
The cats parted, like a narrowed-eyed sea, as a massive, scarred she-cat stalked into the gathering. Her face was contorted into a snarl as she drew towards the Great Oak. Her amber eyes flickered between Twigstar and Willowstar. Beside her, a cat with the pelt of a panther and the eyes of a canine walked. The cats’ eyes glimmered, ready to brawl if any of the other cats so dared to challenge Fallingstar and the ruthless warriors of Dawn Clan.
The brute Leader ascended the Great Oak in two powerful strides, taking a branch no higher than that of the adjacent Leaders. She sat and fixed her eyes on the crowd, her face fallen emotionless.
Oakshadow | Sky Clan | Interactions: OPEN
Oakshadow had to admit. His fur had prickled at the sight of the Dawn Clan warriors entering the camp. Remembering that this was the sacred Gathering, and that the clans were under a truce, he sheathed his claws. Fallingstar was not to be trusted. She had murdered the Dusk Clan Leader before Willowstar in cold blood, and had sworn to turn her wrath on Sky Clan the moment they breathed wrong. A volatile lunatic like that should not have to be killed multiple times, let alone have a clan of fighters at her beck and call. Dawn Clan had not been seen for moons at the Gathering, leading most to believe that they had abandoned the Codices and had become nothing more than vile rogues. This, however, proved otherwise.
Poppythorn | Dusk Clan | Interactions Oakshadow
At the arrival of Dawn Clan, Poppythorn's attention on Oakshadow was diverted as quickly as it had come on. “What’s she doing here?” Poppythorn hissed, full of hate. Her heart ached for her brother and her late leader. As far as she was concerned, Fallingstar deserved a hundred deaths. “She has no right to take her place up there, not after what she did.” The she-cat’s tail twitched, spying the warriors that had attacked her clan moons before. The memory was still bitter.
