Gathering----December

[Kitsune Thistletree]

Kindlestar sniffed the air and perked her ears in surprised. She shook her head however at once.

Of course no one is here, they are probably still going all out against PebbleClan...

She sighed at the thought, not being a big fan of fighting herself. She turned the thought down however and looked back at her Clan.

"Let's move," she yowled at them, then raced down to the clearing where the Gathering was always held.  

[Akiko-infinity]

Firesong walked along with the clan, noting that they were the first to arrive. She hoped the other clans would remember the gathering.

Creamtail held back an excited purr as she padded behind her leader into the clearing. She hadn't been to a Gathering in a while, and she was pretty excited, especially since Duskwind would be there. But when she saw the empty clearing, a fearful thought crossed her mind.
"Kindlestar, is anyone else going to come?" she asked with a hint of fear in her voice.  

[NitroScorpio]

"They have to come right? It's not like they can just skip a gathering..." Duskwind mewed half trying to convince herself. "It would be pretty awkward if no one did show up though."  

[Kitsune Thistletree]

Kindlestar turned her gaze at her old mentor and Creamtail, her gaze just as worried. She licked one paw, hiding her own discomfort.

"I am pretty sure they will. War can't be that bad... right?" she mewed, turning at Firesong.  

[Akiko-infinity]

Firesong looked to silverpelt. She shivered as she remembered her dream. "I've never heard of a clan missing a gathering, but it's happened a lot lately. I don't know how bad the war is, but I think at least Cinderstar would show up. Just for bragging rights, being able to taunt the other leaders about how they couldn't be bothered to show up." She purred at the others. "But we may be getting a little ahead of ourselves. The moon is still high, so there's still plenty of time for the others to show."  

[signelchan]

"I don't like war," Creamtail mewed, her head shaking. "It's scary and when we fight, it's like we're possessed by something evil..."  

[Kitsune Thistletree]

Kindlestar gave Creamtail a sympathetic look.

"No one likes war, Creamtail. Well, with the possible exeption of Dawnlight..." she added with a chuckle. "However, it is something necessary at times. We cannot allow ourselves to be viewed weakly by the other Clans," she added in a more serious tone. Her voice changed to a peppier one as she continued. "This is not the time to discuss such things though. We are here under truce, and for the night, we are one Clan united by StarClan."

Kindlestar looked up at Silverpelt and shuddered, hoping that Firesong was right.  

[Panda--Chan]

Patchstar LEAPED! out of the shadows and tackled Kindlestar. "Oyo Poyo!" she purred. "MoonClan is here...didja miss us?"

"Get off," the FireClan leader huffed.

"Where are the others?" Patchstar asked, scrambling off of Kindlestar.  

[Kitsune Thistletree]

Kindlestar licked one of her paws and passed it over her ear before replying.

"Your guess is as good as mine," she mewed, flicking her tail and covering her paws with it as she sat down. "And here I was thinking you would be a little more serious with all that is happening," she added, her whiskers twitching in amusement before she swiped at the MoonClan leader playfully, her claws sheathed.  

[x-Angel Pyro-x]

"PebbleClan's here," Cursedstar meowed in abnormally serious tone. "But I'm not sure if WoodClan will be here..." She dipped her head to the other leaders. "How are things with your Clans?"  

[Kitsune Thistletree]

Kindlestar's ear flicked curiously as she saw Cursedstar entering the clearing with her Clan.

"Why do you think Cinderstar won't show up?" Kindlestar asked, tilting her head to the side.  

[Hedgehog908]

Cinderstar pushed through the bushes with her ears pinned back. "What's this i hear about Woodclan not showing up?" She growled irritatedly at Cursedstar. "Hello Kindlestar, Patchstar." Cinderstar purred nodding her head in their direction.  

[x-Cloud Drop-x]

Swallowtail followed her leader into the clearing. The clash of scents was no longer a nuisance; she had gotten used to it lately. In fact, the deputy was surprised by this.
She licked her paw and ran it over her ear after sitting at the edge of the area.
Swallowtail's tail swished in the long grass, making brushing noises as she occupied herself with watching the leaders converse.  

[Kitsune Thistletree]

Kindlestar returned the purr as she nodded her head in the direction of the WoodClan leader.

"Glad to see you could make it before the moon sets," she joked, her mew mischievous.
