Fourtrees #9

Falconwing shook his large head, "No... But I do have to ask. How do you stand him? I mean no offense, but how? Maybe you can teach me some patience." The large brute shook his head and winked. He was half joking, half very serious.

Echobreeze laughed. Seeing that Falcon was also being serious, she gave her "serious" awnser.
"Perhaps it is because he is the father of my pups. Or is going to be anyway. So I have to put up with him." The silvery fae smiled. Quickly giving a glance at Stormchaser to make sure he hadn't been hidden by the crowd, she turned her attention back to Falconwing.

The fiery leader padded into view, her fiery coat glowing under the moon. Many wolves were gathered in the clearing and she glanced at them quickly before turning towards the Highrock. Firestar saw Heatherstar off to one side, looking sad and she flicked her tail at her. A little pup who looked exactly like her sister Mosseybreeze ran off to one side and hid under a bush. She gave a nod to Falconwing, Echobreeze and Otterpaw. Firestar saw Storm with a SunClan wolf that looked a bit like them both and walked over to them. "Hello Storm." She turned to the other wolf and in a sudden flash of remembrance, the fiery wolf knew. "Swiftstorm", she murmured. "Greetings brother." The fiery female felt sad that Mossey had died because even though she'd done things that were not good, blood was thicker than water.

Shadowlight looked around the clearing and saw that she had indeed beat Copperstream. she padded over to Echobreeze and Falconwing. " hello Echobreeze, Falconwing." " how are you guys doing."

Falconwing looked up as Shadowlight walked over. The friendly male smiled dashingly, "Greetings Shadowlight." He titled his head, knowing the young female was usually around Copperstream. "No Copperstream to be found?"

She smiled at Falconwing. " well we were on patrol and then i decided that i wanted to come to the gathering and i said that i would race him here." "he should be here soon im sure." "do you think the rumor is really true, that Mosseybreeze is dead."

The massive White male appeared. Stalking into the middle of the clearing. WhiteStone royal blue eyes looked across to the other wolves. Seeing a few wolves the male sat down. He wondering what would happened this evening as he sat quietly.

Falconwing chuckled and motioned for Shadowlight to settle down, "He'll be soon then." The large male looked around the clearing as whitestone appeared and then an all too familiar pelt tumbling over her own paws. Falconwing remember the last gathering and the two little Sunclan pups all too well. He remained where he was though, sure he'd be better off here. The large brute stopped and looked at Otterpaw, with a worried look. If Otterpaw was from the clans... would they look for him tonight? Falcon surely hoped not, the worry now shadowing his large handsome face.

Swiftstreak sat up bored. He yawned annoyed with sunclan wolves, as he looked around he wasn't really bothered with what the leaders had to say what ever the situtation was it would always go against everyone but stormclan. The male thought to himself looking to he's left at the dense forest.

(Has anyone noticed that Firestar's arrived?)

Firestar saw Whitestone and a SunClan apprentice arrived and wondered when the rest would arrive. The fiery wolf noticed Shadowlight speaking to Falconwing and listened quietly. She mentally nodded. Copperstream's a very eager and enthusiatic wolf. He'll race, all right. The TC leader then noticed a look of worry on her old playmate's face. "Why do you look worried, Falcon?" she asked.

Shadowlight looked up when she heard Firestar's voice. " why hello Firestar, Hello Graystar, Heatherstar." she remembered when she use to play with Firestar when she was a pup. she did wonder where her mate was. Turning to Falconwing " what's wrong?"

Falconwing turned to the sound of Firestar's voice, which came suddenly. "Hmm?" He blinked slowly to find her and Shadowlight looking at him with worry on their faces. Falcon flicked his ears, processing what they had told him and shrugged, "I'm worried that's all, if Otter is from another clan... will they take him?" He looked like a worried pup as he flattened his ears and looked at the brown pup.

WhiteStone stared at the foot of the highrock. Day dreaming the pure white male shook he's head. As he noticed a ginger looking wolf. He didn't say or do anything as he just waited. He felt very bored and flicked he's ears to hear what others where saying.

Falconwing looked down at Rainpaw, and smiled. "Rainpup... no you must be an apprentice am I right?" His tail wagged rapidly, how good it was to see Rain doing well. He lied down to better look at her, though she was defenitley was not pup sized anymore.

Echobreeze nodded her greeting to the other she-wolf. Hearing her comment about Mosseybreeze, Echobreeze instantly thought of Stormchaser.
"Storm could be crushed...." she muttered softley. She glanced up at Shadowlight and then said;
"Perhaps everything happens for a reason?" Echobreeze almost felt a relief. Echobreeze knew Mossey would be her kin now, but hearing that she had killed an apprentice, Echobreeze wondered how she would act around pups. Echobreeze's pups. Shuddering at the thought, Echobreeze wrapped her tail tightly around herself. No wolf would lay a paw on her inoccent pups. Ever.

Falconwing slapped his tail against Echobreeze's paws in a small gesture that he had heard. Rainwhisper settled down by him, making his smile a bit wider as Rainpaw explianed her becoming an apprentice and her mother a leader. "That's great to hear Rainpaw. And congrats to your mother too, she'll do great. " He remembered the kind female from when he had visited Sunclan for a while, she had been very kind and motherly.
