Soulstar

The moon was high on the night of the waning moon. Bright stars shone down upon the Thunderclan clearing, the mist had cleared on this one night. It was rare. Walking out of his deep, dark den came Soulstar. He looked around, bright blue eyes glinting in the moonlight. He smiled, white teeth glinting. Tonight was going to be an exciting night. Turning he walked over the the old ancient gnarled oak. After crouching for a moment he leaped high up onto the thick branch, the branch was connected to a sloping rock that lead to the ground, that was where the newly named cats would meet him to get his name. I'll be up here, they'll walk up the rock and get their new names. Wow. I haven't done this in a long time. He placed his paws on the cool smooth rock, it was late but the night was clear and he wanted to do it when it was beautiful out. Turning he looked to each of the dens in turn before calling out "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Old Oak for a clan meeting!" It was time for the kits to become apprentices and the clan to get a new deputy.[/color]

((Short but it gets the job done))

[-^Fire^-]

Firestorm stired from his nest. He had been out last last night and was sleeping off his tiredness. But it was cut short when he faintly heard the call of his leader outside. It was amazing he heard him he was usually a heavy sleeper. Blinking sleep from his bright green eyes, the moonlight that tricked through the entrance to the warriors den. As he began to strech he walked out careful of those who were still sleeping. On of his denmates had a slight cold but the medicince cat had said it would go away since it wasn't that bad and sleep and abit of catmint whould do the trick. Entering the cool air Firestorm's pelt ruffled as a shivered went through him making the fur on the back of his neck rise. Shaking it off he paced to the meeting area and he said to the side his orange pelt glowing in the moonlight. He looked up to Soulstar who stood above him and he nodded to him his green gaze sweeping the rest of the clearing for other signs of the clan.

Shadowmoon hadn't been napping or patroling or hunting. He'd merely been sitting around camp waiting for something to do. When Soulstar called for a Clan meeting, he immediately stood up and bounded over. After sitting down, he turned slightly to see if he could find Firepaw.

Mudpelt poked his head out of his den to see cats gathering below Soulstar and the rest of his body followed into the main clearing. His normal faint herb smell was stronger now because he'd just been sorting and storing some new herbs that he'd found while out with Witherpaw. He made a mental note to start quizzing her on different types of herbs when the meeting was over.

[-^Fire^-]

They were stranger among the clan and they had spent the night in a den to the side where it appeared no one was sleeping. The three cat were grateful for the extra sleep and in return the one who appeared to be the leader among them had ask her friends to help hunt and bring back lost of prey. From the dark den a tall she-cat stepped out her white, blue fur shining silver in the moonlight. Soulstar had assured her things would be fine but still she felt a little weary of how other were reacting to her presence. Despite this she felt Bastet her goddess would see her through this as usual.

Behind her two smaller cats with light brown fur and darker faces came on either side of her but still back enough to let the she-cat continue forward before them. The cat whose left eye was green and his right right blue appeared more tense then the other who had a blue left and a green right. He was very cautious of them and his eyes narrowed on Shadowmoon as he spotted the cat who had first threatened the one before him yesterday. And the other cat he was clam but his eyes watched for moving cats.

The she-cat then turned around and looked at the more tense cat. Her blue gaze meaningful but kind. Her gaze told him more then what words could and he relaxed a bit alongside his brother. She sighed and then the scent of burdock root mingled in her nose. A healer she thought she then made a note to see him or her. "Mmm... Burdock root," she smiled.

Shattergaze opened her pink mouth and yawned. Closing her jaws she got up and trotted wearily toward her leaders call.Could a let me sleep in. She walked into the familiar clear and quickend her pace when she noticed that others and already gathered. Three strangers caught her eye she turned to look at them. Two had miss matched eyes like her but there held green when hers held brown. Since no one had raised a hand agents them she dipped her head in greeting before she slipped a distance away.

[silence]

Flyingpaw got up out of her nest still exhausted but there was a meeting and she had to be there. She hated feeling so weak and useless. He slowly wlaked out of the den her tail dragging. They elave me useless and helpless but that isn't why. She stopped and dug her claws into the ground. No. Don't think about it. It might just bring it up and in the middle of a meeting won't be very good. She sighed as she sat down and looked up at Soulstar.

[yellow]Skyshine padded uot fo the den. She was waiting for something to finally happen and look something did. She saw Flyingpaw drag herself out of the den and felt bad for the apprenitce. She shook her head she she wlaked over to the cats that were already out and sat down. She yawned and looked up at Soulstar waiting for the news.[/yellow]

[♫Wither♫]

Witherpaw was busy sort herbs when she heard Soulstar call everyone over for a clan meeting. She spun around, accidentally knocking over some of the herbs with her tail. She didn't even notice what she had done as she skipped outside toward the Old Oak. Witherpaw remembered when she used to hate clan meetings; watching all those kits being made apprentices before her really stung. But that was over now. Witherpaw could hardly contain her excitement, she bounced all around and into every cat that happened to be in her way. She giggled idiotically and continued bouncing happily. It wasn't long till she got dizzy and sick to her stomach from all the bouncing. Witherpaw haphazardly wandered over to Flyingpaw and plopped down next to her. H-hi!She stuttered happily.

I belived in you, I can show you that
I can see right through all your empty life
say goodbye as we dance with the devil tonight

† Thrasing of rain, the howl of wind in the large tom's ears. His fated enemy stood infront of him, glaring, their neon yellow eyes chilled him too the bone; the cat in front of his father. Jadestream peered and the body laying at his laughing father's claws Sterlingtail! he yowled. Jadestream dashed to the aid of his beloved, only too be batted away, claws raked across his face. Jadestream awoke from his plauging nightmare Sterlingtail was long gone, what can I do! Jadestream snorted, standing out of his thing bed of a mixture of moss and twigs that mostly clung to his fur. The big silver tom shook his head and let out a small purr of laughter then shook all of the emerald green bits of moss out of his pure silver fur.
† A loud yowl caught his attention, Soulstar's call 'Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Old Oak for a clan meeting!' Jadestream mocked Soulstar slightly, making a funny face as the sound waves reverberated through his sonar like ears. He sat in his nest, knowing that Soulstar had just called, no one would be out there that quickly! Jadestream gave his fur quite a few licks as other warriors walked slowly, just waking up, out of the warrior's den. When he was finally satisfied by his grooming, he took his paw over his chest just to make sure that nothing was sticking up.
† He noticed he had walked out rather later than expected. There were already several cats in the clearing Morning all! he said happily to the sleepy looking cats that were gathered around the Old oak, looking up at Soulstar waiting for him to begin his speech. In Jadestream's eyes, Soulstar was a brave tom, with a laid back persona, nothing he was interested in anyway, nothing relaxed entertained him, nothing. He looked around at the other cats, all whom were deep in conversation. He noticed Shadowmoon over on the other side of the large gaggle of cats, and began walking over to him, in hopes to start a conversation.

[silence]

Flyingpaw let out a sigh of relief as her strentgh returned to her. She saw Withperaw bounce over to her nad smiled. Hey Witherpaw. What's up? She flexed her claws and flicked her tail. Any idea what the meeting's about? She asked Witherpaw still looking up at Soulstar. Frankly, she didn't really care but was still curious. She glanced at Witherpaw and then back up at Soulstar.

Soulstar[/color]

This ain't no temporary, typical, tearful good-bye,
This ain't no breakin' up and wakin' up and makin' up one more time
This is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...

The moon was slowly sinking towards earth, the sky beginning to turn a pale blue color. All for the better, at least no one would be tripping over each other. Soulstar turned his icy blue gaze on the cats of the clearing. War had not touched this forest, yet. But perhaps one day it would? Soulstar sat back for a moment, thinking of what he was about to say. He gazed at the ground, his eyes shining with worry. Hopefully his 'happy-go-lucky' persona was enough to hide his 'true' darker side. The side that wanted to punish those who did something wrong. The side that killed his father. He flicked his gaze up from the smooth stone to examine the cats in the clearing. There was Firestorm, a cat Soulstar didn't know well. Then there were Mudpelt and Shadowmoon, two of his favorite cats. Ahh, Mia. A small smile crept over his face, this loner and her sidekicks were definitely a couple of interesting cats. From. Egypt? Place of sand. How horrible.

Shattergaze seemed to be the first one to acknowledge the newcomers. Oh let the clan not be angry about me letting them in. Of course someone will be upset, it always happens. Skyshine and Flyingkit both entered about the same time. At least their here. Finally the bouncy Witherpaw pranced in, this made Soulstar grin. Cute kit. Finally the cat he was waiting for entered. Soulstar watched him like a hawk as he entered the clearing calling out his 'good morning'. Let you be a trustworthy cat Jadestream. For it your not the future of this clan is bleak.

So we're missing a few warriors and an apprentice. Well to bad, time to start. Pushing himself to his feet Soulstar stepped forward onto the rocks edge and gazed down on the clan. "Good Morning everyone. May I ask Firekit, Flyingkit, and Ghostkit to step forward?" He gazed down at the group, maybe someone would go fetch Ghostkit and Firekit, that is if they wanted their mentors.

...Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang
Gone like a '59 Cadillac
Like all the good things that ain't never coming back

[-^Fire^-]

A few cats turned questioning gazes in her direction but the tall she-cat nodded in response. And then a cat nodded bak to her and she felt a bit better. Mia was graceful as she walked with her comrads at her heels. She then found an abandoned spot to the side. It was slightly away from the others so the clan cats had their room to move and choose a seating spot. As she sat she gave a flick of her tail and the two other loners sat on either side of her but abit back to allow room and both surveyed the area. "Skip, Halt. Please relax a bit your so tense lighten up just a bit please." She meowed. Halt and Skip exchanged glances and nodded and the two lightened a bit more. "Thank-you." Mia whispered. She watched intently as Soulstar conducted what looked like a meeting of the clan. The wolf and otter tribes held such meeting aswell, so Mia had a fair idea of what to expect.

Firestorm watched as Soulstar began to meeting. a little rushed he thought since only one of the three kits were present at the time. He wondered if perhaps he should o and fetch the other two, but maybe it was the queens fussing over them that held them back a bit. Queens were known for the sort of thing. His own mother had done the same thing to him, it was his father who saved him from his mother's rasping tounge and stern but loving gaze.

[silence]

Flyingkit walked up to the highrock and saw she was the only kit there. She felt a rush of anger. Being made handsome or pretty by their parents. She thought bitterly. She sighed and looked ot her paws regretfully. She missed her mother and knew even if she was still alive she wouldn't be here for her. No, her mother would be in Windclan with Legendpaw. She took a deep breath and let it out calming her down some. She looked up to Soulstar and the rest of the clna and felt her fur burn hot. If only you were here Legendpaw and Dissapearing then it would be better. She thought as sadness glazed her eyes. No, she musn't be sad she had to be happy. Being called out here she had a pretty good idea at what was coming.

[♫Wither♫]

Witherpaw stared blankly at Flyingkit. She could barely tell a mouse from a sparrow and she was asking her what the announcements were about? She stared at Flyingkit as she made her way to the Old Oak after Soulstar called up the kits. Why would Soulstar tell the kits to come to the Old Oak? There around apprentice age... Sudden realization came over Witherpaw. I g-get it! Th-there g-going t-to-! Witherpaw's mind went blank; she lost it. Oh well...

[~ Sasha]

Late!
Of all the things she'd ever done, this must have been the worst one yet. Stargazer had never missed a meeting, much less be so late to one. That was something Silversun did, not her. Such disrespect! she thought, creeping in quietly and as fast as her paws could carry her, nearly tumbling to a stop in the back of the group of gathered Thunderclan cats.
With a rush she had righted herself, and it was as if she had been there the entire time. A single kit stood in front, apparently called up by Soulstar, and she silently hoped that was all she missed.

There was a pause, Stargazer couldn't place why, but it gave her time to glance about the faces of her, as she called them, comrades.
I've seen them, I'm sure. There's Witherpaw, Shadowmoon, and... Stargazer's thoughts mingled for a moment, confused when her eyes came to three cats she didn't recognize. She couldn't quite pick out their scent from the cats surrounding them, but they looked...almost as if...
Stargazer shook away the thought, glancing up at Soulstar once more.

[♫Wither♫]

Witherpaw stared up in awe at Soulstar, still clueless as to what was going on. Soon groing tired of whatever was going on, she padded aimlessly around the clearing.Witherpaw spotted Stargazer and faster than you could blink, she was right by her side. H-hi St-Stargazer! Witherpaw purred happily. Y-ya kn-know w-what's g-goin' on? Witherpaw asked the pretty she-cat. 'C-cause I d-don't. She admitted sheepishly.
