Fourtrees #6

Stoatblaze glanced over as he heard pawsteps, seeing Fangpaw tackle him down to the ground. "I've missed you too, Fangpaw!" The warrior said, smiling at his friend. Stoatblaze got up to his paws, looking at Fangpaw as he'd asked a question. "SunClan's doing well, I'm even a warrior now! It's Stoatblaze, and I have an apprentice-" The orange warrior stopped as he heard a growl. "Hi Dragonpaw! It's fine, this is just Fangpaw, or are you a warrior now? This is my apprentice." Stoatblaze said, first to Dragonpaw, and then to Fangpaw. Glancing at his apprentice, Stoatblaze twitched an ear, a silent way of saying she didn't need to be worried and could further come over.

Stoatblaze glanced up as he heard Shadestar talking, and looked up to see Direstar standing up. At the mention of him being a warrior, Stoatblaze smiled proudly, as well as when Ripplestone and Dragonpaw were mentioned. Direstar soon sat down, and Stoatblaze wondered who'd go next. "You don't have to be worried at a Gathering, usually they're peaceful." He said to Dragonpaw, knowing how she might be alarmed at the sight of so many wolves. To Fangpaw, he added; "How's StormClan doing?" Stoatblaze spoke quietly, knowing how the leaders were speaking as well.

Graystar watched as some of the SunClan wolves came; she only recognized Stoatpaw, however; the pup and apprentice she saw, she didn't recognize. The blue-gray wolf glanced at Shadestar as he'd asked if they should start. Direstar had annouced first; they had three warriors, one of which had been her own apprentice. Graytar slightly frowned as she recalled Ripplestone leaving. She had been a good apprentice, and Graystar hoped she liked her new Clan. The SunClan leader had mentioned something about prey-stealing, though the gray-furred wolf didn't think it would be possible for anyone to get up into SunClan's mountains and be able to hunt anything. Wolves would do nearly anything in Leafbare, Graystar supposed. Another wolf of ThunderClan stood up to speak next, and Graystar looked up. She hadn't notice this wolf up on the GreatRock; the StormClan wolf thought she could remember seeing the other wolf when they were a pup. Graystar nodded at the mention of new apprentices; that was expected, but what the ThunderClan wolf said next made her blink. Rainstar had left; Graystar would miss the old ThunderClan leader, she remembered going to the Moonstone at the same time as Rainstar and Russetstar. Were both leaders gone now? As the wolf named Firespell mentioned Phoenixstar being ThunderClan's leader, Graystar wondered if him not being here had something to do with those Twolegs Firespell had said of.

Waiting a few moments, Graystar stood up. "StormClan is still here and our wolves are strong." The gray-blue wolf started, glancing down at the clearing of warriors in the Gathering-place. "Our prey is running well, and we have new warriors and apprentices. Fangclaw and Silentwhisper recieved their warrior names, and Ravensky is now a full medicine wolf. Creekpaw, Lunapaw, and Bluepaw are our apprentices. With a new season bring more pups; Silverheart has had a litter, and we look forward to our Clan becoming stronger. We have prey to keep us doing fine, and our borders are protected. We hope for our alliance to last for moons and seasons yet to come. This Leafbare will be fine for us, as both RiverClan's and ShadowClan's territories put together are enough for our warriors and apprentices." Graystar nodded, and sat back down, her eyes looking throughout the clearing to see the reactions of the other warriors. The wolf coughed slightly, twitching her ears as snow fell on her, and she looked at Heatherpaw to silently say she could go for her Clan.
