Tsk Tsk Tsk.
An amused tutting noise was heard somewhere below the gathered Leaders.
Then he made his appearance.
Bloodstar slunk his way towards the shecats. And if you emmediately thought of a weasel when you heard 'slink', oh ho ho, have you got your lines crossed. It was indeed a slinking motion, but somehow, Bloodstar made it graceful and could in no way be associated with such vermin as the weasel.
Got and ego on him, doesn't he?
Such stinging words from a shecat named after such a gentle flower.
His words smooth as honey, though not at all in an egotistic, flirtacious way expected from dear Bloodeh-kins.
Why the spite, Lillystar?
DuskClan had arrived.

[glow=brown,5,500] The siamese tom strolled noiselessly into the open grassland. The center of which was crowned by a rock, sitting roguishly on top of a hill. Cats of various clans skittered about, calling casual, if not guarded greetings. Which was to be expected... after what he heard had occured at the last... Rather sad, it was. Sunpelt had taken the blow well, even if it still hurt the siamese tom's friend. With a warriors poise he ascertianed the idea of Blindsong's death. Takumi admired him for that.
Now, he was the victim of his first Gathering as a new Clan cat. Takumi was a bit surprised at the suddeness of such a gift, but he accepted it as just another thing that was so different from the life he once knew. Strangely enough, despite these odd customs, Takumi felt more at home with the number of cats about. Tribe life was highly intense, the number of cats easily measuring the number Takumi figured were in each Clan combined... A rough guestimate of course. Even so, these new customs were still on the verge of being learned, and thus, his easeness fell abruptly. Offending another cat, and the wrong cat, obviously, could have a dramatic fold to it, so he took the guarded air as his own as he slithered on up to Lucky.
Lucky was a firm friend, and a knowing admirer. He didn't know quite what to think of her love of him, but until he did, he put it on the back burner, and took and inquisitive seat next to his lady friend and with a distinct accent, tried out his English to these Clanners.[/glow]"Hehloh.

Onyx wasn't so sure about being introduced to all and everyone, but then again, she'd been asking for it, just sitting there. She smiled and offered an awkward hello when she was introduced, with a respectful nod of her head. She had noted before that most cats wouldn't give a respectful nod to every other cat they met, but she still couldn't help it. It just seemed right to her.
Her ears swiveled as Takumi came over and sat next to Lucky, and her nose followed until she was facing the other cat, leaning around Lucky to see him when he spoke. She grinned at his use of the same language they all knew- she hadn't actually heard him speak it before. Actually, she hadn't much heard him speak at all. This observation had led the petite black she-cat to assume he was shy, although it could have just been a language barrier. She hadn't really seen him around much, though, either.
Oh, who knew. But for whatever reason, the fact that she hardly knew him, and that he was so apparently not from anywhere near here, made Takumi interesting. She hadn't really even bothered trying to talk to him because she was half afraid Lucky would take that the wrong way, when all Onyx really wanted was to talk. Now was not the time and place to test any such theory though. So she didn't even talk, prefering to keep her own council. [/center] |

Happy that Takumi was by her side, Lucky gave him a quick lick on the ear, and ajusted his orange headband with her tail, her own green band around her tail waving in the breeze. Fine thanks. She nodded with approval as the siamese spoke, and said to him, Ž„‚ÍŒ’N‚È‹³‚¦‚Ä‚¢‚é! ‚»‚ê‚ð•Û‚Ä‚ÎAŽ„‚ª‚悤‚É“¯—l‚̉pŒê‚ð—‰ð‚Å‚«‚éB Then the gold she-cat looked over at Onyxdart, and noticed she was staring at Takumi. She felt jelous at first, than found that she didn't see a need too. She closed her eyes and chanted a little something in Japanese, made a deep breath, and opened them again. Then Lucky spoke again, Would you like to hear about our Tribe life?

As Bloodstar entered, there was a single femine she-cat that followed at his flanks. She was a pretty bengal, her deep tawny pelt unflawed by scars or nicks. The patterns across her side were a wide array of deep wood brown circles. However, probably the most striking thing of her appearance was the striking venom green eyes on contrast to her brown pelt. They were narrowed with her usual seductive smile upon her face, her tail held rather high for simply being a warrior.
As soon as Bloodstar took his leave to the top of the rock, sporting a rather elegant comment to the shaggy she of Mistclan. Pah, she needed to learn some manners.... To be nice to her new man and her new home... She gave an elegant flick of her tail, casting her high-held head around with a glance. So many cats, and so many unfamiliar scents... She trotted toward the base of the rock, laying herself out as close to it as she could without taking the Deputy's position at the bottom. |

Just decided to create an account for him. ^^ I need to make him more active.
While the she-cat Venom was all about proud femine, Talonscar was quite the opposite of her high held ego. He was simply put, blunt and rather cold. He let a thread of bangs fall over his face to give him the very 'tom' look, his belly a shaggy white. Black stripes stretched like lightning over his coat, also a shaggy and rather unkempt rainbow of dusky brown.
His gold eyes glinted like stones as he cast a cool, if not even cold look at the fellow leaders. "T'would do good if you respected the others leaders, miss Lillystar. We wouldn't want to start a fight, now would we?" He purred gruffly, his face hiding all and every emotion. He received a highly appraised look by the bengal Venom, but Talonscar had no interest. He gave a dismissive flick of his tail before turning and sitting down a few tail lengths from his fellow clan member.

DISCO FEVER!
Disco flowed into the clearing where the Gathering was going to be held. So many cats, new people to meet... just his kind of party. Already the other Clans were arriving! But Duskclan showed up... simply appeared as though born from the night. A slight shiver ran from the tip of his tail to his nose. His emerald eyes darted back in forth across the clearing, remembering his Clan leader's words: trust no one. But in an instant, his tense moment was gone, and he smiled. He trotted over to Talonscar and plopped down next to him.
Cheer up, emo kid!
'Cause WE GOT IT! |

Squirrelpaw sat down and tried to listen to everything, there where so many cats! He looked around unsure of what to do, this was his first gathering. He tried to spot cats he was familiar with, he saw Lillystar, a strange cat was talking with her. " Is anyone else here new to the gatherings?" He asked aloud.

Lillystar glared at Bloodstar's comments. It was not exactly far-fetched to call him an unpleasant guest. There was also the lingering rumor she had that he had allied his cats with BoneClan, which was enough to spell anger in any of the leaders. Feeling far more confident than was probably wise, Lillystar tread a dangerous step into the topic of war.
"Tell me Bloodstar...do you know of this rumor I've heard...that you have allied your clan with the ruthless cats of BoneClan?" she queried, her golden eyes boring into his. |

Oh ho! So dear Lillystar had heard of that little alliance?
Bloodstar grinned as if the shecat had just told him an aumsing joke,
News travels fast in the valley, doesn't it?
His nonchallant attitude was enough to make even the most controlled cat snap.
'Tis no rumor, though. Has DuskClan not always been allied with BoneClan? I saw no reason to break the pact that was made before my leadership.
The massive tom flicked his tail in a careless manner, as if unknowingly shooing a fly. Bloodstar had a certain way of brushing one's fur the wrong way; and boy was he good at it. It was kind of like a game to him.
But that aside, if things got out of hand, this game would end, and his serious side would emerge, in a very blatant way.
Bloodstar honestly could not see what was so terrible with his clan's alliance. He could tell that even the mention of BloodClan was enough to send a clancat into a raging fit.
BoneClan was a powerful clan, led by a cunning and intelligent leader; who was followed by devoted, deadly assassins and warriors.
This Bane knew what he was doing.
And Bloodstar respected him.

Lillystar's eyes widened and she faltered a bit, her claws slipping on the rock. Regaining her composure, she stared Bloodstar down with fire in her moltent gold eyes.
"Do you mean to tell me that you have allied yourself with the very enemy that we are to face in the nearing war?!" she spat in disbelief. "Do not pretend to be ignorant of it, there is no way you could not know this!" Dragonpelt had taken a great interest in the talk of the leaders. The Gathering had not officially started, but already turmoil seemed near. He worried for Snowstar and the others. Though Lillystar was bold to bring Bloodstar's intentions to light, he feared that she was treading on unsafe ground. The noble tom didn't want anything bad to befall the leader of the Clan in which his dear friend was recovering. Something's brought my sugar high to a crashing low...
Denali was confused. What was taking so long to get this thing started? He inclined his warm blue eyes to the very high place where the leaders seemed to be having a heated conversation. What was a gay tom to do? Deciding to try and keep his spirits up, he turned his head to who he hoped were becoming his friends. "
"Rockwell, Chikara...anybody know what's going on?"
Narrator prowled the back of his mind, throwing doubt pamphlets everywhere, but Denali chose to let him be a litterbug. |

To put it quite bluntly, Lillystar; Yes. DuskClan and BoneClan are very much allies.
Bloodtstar's voice now held a ghost of defiance, now finding it quite annoying to have this shecat question his motives.
And do not think it out of spite for the other clans of this valley; As I'm sure you may be assuming.
His voice regaining that regal tone.
T'was not an issue of whether they were your enemy, Lillystar, but if they were my clan's. A glare given very little effort of hiding.
They showed no ill-intent to me or my cats, so why should I have turned down the offer to ally myself with a strong clan as Bane's?
This normally calm tom's patience was wearing thin, but he would continue, if need be. He would control himself as long as it took until he got his point across.
Haha.
But it mattered not to him whether the other leaders accepted or understood his decision.
DuskClan was his to command and make decisions for.
In the very back of his mind, he was aware of a few clancats throwing glances towards the leaders atop the stone. This amused him slightly.
How they squirmed and looked on with gazes of worry.
He would not keep them waiting much longer, he guessed.
Scrape Scrape.
His dagger-sharp claws left white lines etched into the face of the stone, as his claws sheathed and unsheathed in that way of his.
Scrape Scrape.
He wanted to fight.
Now was not the time.
But when would be the time?
Oh how he shuddered at the thought of having to wait too much longer.
To satisfy his need.

Kestrel cast Bloodstar a long, measured glance, her fierce mismatched eyes sparking.
"To ally yourself with BoneClan is to ally yourself against the remaining five Clans," she meowed bluntly, her voice sharp.
She was brave, wasn't she? The RisingClan leader did not drop her gaze, did not look so much as mildly uncomfortable.
She would tell her Clan when she returned...and she would not leave them alone for another Gathering. From now on, with the danger doubled, RisingClan's defenses would have to be stronger than ever.
No matter, she thought grimly. Even DuskClan and BoneClan combined won't have the strength to destroy my alliance.
But she couldn't pretend she didn't worry sometimes...there would be a price to pay for her victory; as in all wars, there would be pain and death and sorrow.
Not yet. Not yet. And when the time comes, my fellow leaders and I will lead five Clans against them.
And with this thought to steel herself, Kestrel sat, awaiting her time to speak.

Bloodstar's gaze shifted over to the white and grey shecat, Kestrel.
So this was Risingclan's famed leader?
As I realize, and do not regret. I don't recall DuskClan ever being on..He gave a curt 'ahem', 'Good terms' with any of the clans before. None of your clans were our allies before; So I see no obligation I have to any of you.
If it were another cat thinking about it, going against five other clans would be new low, even for DuskClan. Bloodstar saw it as a high.
They would soon find who the stronger clans were.

Post by Bristleclaw on Jul 20, 2007 11:34:50 GMT -5
[they are?! crap! xDD so are bristle, nyria and lilac >.> i'll just post them all on the same account.]Three huge longhaired she-cats bounded towards the Gathering, the first a tabby and white, the second pure black, the third pure white. All had intense silver eyes. Bristleclaw, the first, had a concentrated and slightly worried look on her face. Nyriashine, the second, had a thrilled, excited expression. Lilacfrost, the third, had a solemn look. "Hurry up!" Bristleclaw hissed to them. "Our first Gathering as warriors and we're late? This is horrible," she mumbled. Nyriashine bounded along carelessly. "Stop worrying, half-sis," she meowed. Lilacfrost frowned at her sister. "Nyriashine, Bristleclaw has a right to be worried...she's been here since she was a kit, we came when we were apprentice-aged," the white she-cat mewed. Nyriashine rolled her silver eyes.
Indeed, the three cats were related - Nyriashine and Lilacfrost were sisters, while Bristleclaw was their half-sister. They all shared the same father. "Exactly, you stupid little -" Bristleclaw stopped. She couldn't insult her half-sister, especially when Lilacfrost gave her a stern look. "Just come on. I can't believe we didn't hear Lillystar leaving." Nyriashine let out a hiss to verbalize her frustration at her sister's frustration. "Maybe you shouldn't sleep just before going to the Gathering, stoopid," she murmured, and all three entered the Gathering place. Kara and Andre too were late. Andre let out a sigh of exasperation; Bloodstar wouldn't be happy. Kara jumped over a log, while Andre just slinked under it. "Well," the smaller tabby and white she-cat mewed, trying to make the situation funny. "At least this will be a dramatic entrance!" Andre narrowed his eyes. "Funny," he hissed sarcastically. Kara stopped, whipping around. "You know, I let you out of the hellhole of a nest so that maybe we could be friends, but it's just making me hate you more!" The blue bicolor Ragdoll just stalked past her, and Kara snorted. Both padded onto the Great Hill.

Kestrel watched Bloodstar for a long time, her face closed, inscrutable.
Then she bowed her head, not giving way but accepting. She saw the truth in his words, and understod.
Bloodstar was her enemy now, as his Clan was. As Bane was.
"Who shall speak first?" she asked. |

Bloodstar's ears swiveled behind him, picking up the sound of DuskClan cat voices.
His gaze soon followed the path his ears had made, roving about until they locked in on Kara and Andre entering.
His bloodred eyes narrowed, hinting the tiniest sliver of dangerous intent. This was unintentional, of course, aimed at him own clancats..His pent up frustration and turmoil was whipping about inside of him like a hare caught in a trap as it was.
His eyes seemed to speak for him,
How very nice of you two to join us.
Other cats had arrived late; but it was none of his concern.
They were MistClan cats.

Lillystar resisted the urge to pounce on Bloodstar and show him just how angry she was. It would do no good to cause more turmoil at a Gathering, everyone had had enough of that. So, her tail twitching irritably, she staved off her aggression and addressed the assembled cats.
"The Gathering will begin now, before anymore pleasantries are exchanged..." she said coldly. "I and my fellow leaders are now informed that DuskClan has allied itself with BoneClan and is therefore our enemy...regardless of reason...but for now we remain under the full moon truce and I will have no fighting this time around..." "My Clan is in good health, save for two of our warriors...Rustshade and Shadowstreak were grievously injured in a battle with a rogue..." "They were fighting to protect kits of a Clan not their own and I commend them for their bravery...although their sacrifice was great...they are recovering now and I thank the leaders of the aforementioned Clan for their help in bringing them home..." Lillystar would not speak the name of the cats that her warriors had protected, that was for Snowstar to announce if she so chose. The mottled leader was gracious and wanted to save Snowstar more pain, she'd already lost enough. "On a happier note, my clan welcomes several new warriors- Ripplemist, Bristleclaw, Giddyheart, Lilacfrost, Nyriashine and our new medicine cat-Umberwings!"
Lillystar stepped back, not quite sure what else to say. |
