Half-Moon Gathering Number 7 ~ January 4th, 2013
Beautifulface padded into the clearing. "We're first, Shinefrost." 02:55, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Fernwhisker smiled as she entered. She saw her friend Beautifulface and faked a sad sigh. "You beat us a gain." She mewed with a fake whine. C  r  y  p  t  i  d  Yo 02:59, January 5, 2013 (UTC)Cryptid Hunter

Meanwhile, Risingfeather walked out of the Dark Forest, standing along the border. Concentration was key here, if she wanted to block out StarClan's efforts and bring the WinterClan medicine cat, Beautifulface, here, instead of the heart of their territory. She had to tell WinterClan to attack SummerClan in a few short days- the amount of death would be higher. Her steps to resurrection could be increasing. 03:03, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Moonleaf walked to the gathering, her belly swollen with unborn kits. She walked to the gathering, her eyes wide with the new smells. She knew she was going without her old mentor for the first time, but she wanted to see Beautifulface. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333

Beautifulface's face lit up when she saw Moonleaf. "Moonleaf!" She noticed that she was more plump than usual. "Prey must be running well in AutumnClan." 03:15, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Bluefeather walked into the Mooncave.--- Silentspark padded in. She sat next to Moonleaf. "How are the kits?" she mouthed. 03:18, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Fernwhisker shrugged as she was ignored. She padded to the small stream and took a drink. She touched her pink nose to the wall of the cave and was sucked into sleep. C  r  y  p  t  i  d  Yo 03:22, January 5, 2013 (UTC)Cryptid Hunter93

Moonleaf eyed her "You know" she mewed. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333

Beautifulface nodded. Oops... She nudged Fernwhisker. "I'm related to WinterClan cats, of course we won." 03:30, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

"Yes, I do. I love a tom. I want kits so badly! But I'm not going to mate with him! He doesn't even know!" Silentspark whispered. 03:34, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Risingfeather paced eagerly, her ice-blue eyes narrowed to slits as she waitied for her prey to arrive. 04:53, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Petalpaw shivered as she realised the hostality between SummerClan and WinterClan. She let out a sigh. .louiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis  go on louis  eat the slug  go on louiiiiiiis 08:28, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface lapped up the water in the Mooncave and went to sleep. She saw a black she-cat with blue eyes. "Hello! Who are you?" Her tail swayed. 23:46, January 5, 2013 (UTC)

Petalpaw dipped her tongue into the water and fell asleep. She searched around, her paws drumming against the hard mud. She stopped, letting the wind roam through her fur. She looked up at the trees, which rustled with the screams of her clanmates. Her eyes widened in fear, as the wind carried a vile scent. She turned away from it, but heard louder screams. She ran further into the forest, and saw a pack of dogs, white foaming at their mouths, running towards AutumnClan. All the cats screeched as they ran from the pack, and Petalpaw's thoughts were drowned in growls and death cries. She woke up, breathing heavily. "StarClan..." she breathed, fear edging her every feature. Write it on the sky 12:46, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Risingfeather put on her best smile when a pretty gray tabby appeared in front of her. "Me? Oh, I'm Risingfeather- I was a dear friend of your grandparents on Mistcloud's side, and I'm related to Reedstar's kits. Are you the young Beautifulface I keep hearing about?" she meowed, trying to keep the sneer she had used so long in the Dark Forest out of her tone. "How is my dear old Clan doing? Isn't your brother deputy?" 15:25, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Fernwhisker snappdd awake, a strange icy feeling throughout her whol.e body. She was standing on a grassy hillside, staring down at a river. I'm in my territory. She padded along down the slope, picking her way around stones. She reached the water's edge and cocked her head. The water as unusually dark, no fish swimming in it'z depths. She snapped her eyes shut as a shaft of sunshine broke free from the clouds. Fernwhisker cracked her open, and stared at the water. She gasped and screeched, a horrible expression on her face. The water was dark crimson, fied with blood. She heard screeches of battle from upstream, and wails of grief. She wrethched and darted back up the hillside, crying. Fernwhisker snapped awake in the Mooncave, gasping.~ CH

Beautifulface nodded. "Yep, that's me! Risingspirit, my brother, is doing very well as deputy." She smiled at the face that this she-cat knew her mother. "WinterClan is thriving..but," she sighed. "A battle is near." 17:13, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Moonleaf licked the water and fell sleep to awake in a weird forest. She saw the hissing and spitting of fighting cats. She gasped, walking around the territory of fighting and bleeding cats. Cats lay on the floor, dead. Moonleaf recionized some of the cats, she saw Blackstar and recognized the ginger fur if Rowanstar. She could see Cloudstormtorn on the floor, and Risingspirit fighting some SummerClan warriors. Moonleaf backed away, astonished. She got pulled to StarClan grounds once more, and she was utterly confused. She didn't know be hat to think if this fight, because she didn't see AutumnClan in it at all. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 18:12, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface shuttered. "I hate fighting...I don't know why my brother likes it." 18:19, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Petalpaw realised that the dogs weren't cats, and it was a cat fight. It will all come clear as you wake, but in your slumber, you will not know. she whispered to herself. She pictured the vision again, seeing a tortoiseshell she-cat giving birth, and a pregnant white, silver and pinkish she-cat being torn to pieces by a dark brown tabby. They're as savage as dogs. she breathed. ''I was supposed to figure that out. And they're not my Clanmates, and they're too big to be SpringClan...'' Her eyes widened. ''The two biggest Clans! WinterClan and SummerClan! But why are they fighting? Because of the Gathering? Mudstar got us out of there so quickly. I didn't hear much...'' she thought, trailing off. Write it on the sky 18:20, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

"Indeed," Risingfeather meowed, her interest flickering when Beautifulface mentioned fighting. "I, like you, was a medicine cat in WinterClan. However...fighting must be done. SummerClan plans to strike by nightfall, and will aim for the nursery first. They assumed once the kits are dead, queens will have nothing to fight for, so they could easily finish your clan off. WinterClan must strike first, young Beautifulface," she commanded, lying easily. 19:51, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface's eyes lit up. "When will this be?" (say the 13th day of the new season) 19:54, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

(Moonleaf was supposed to be the only one to have the vision of that because shes connected to WC, not Petalpaw  x.x.x.x.x) Moonleaf was sitting in StarClan grounds, alone. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 19:58, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

"The...thirteenth day of the new season," Risingfeather lied cooly, flattening her ears against her skull. ''Wow, this cat believes anything I say. Heh.'' 20:00, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface purred. "Thank you, Risingfeather! I will alert my brother and leader!" Beautifulface waved her tail and woke up. She saw other medicine cats around her. Moonleaf awakened. 20:03, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

"Any time, young one," she purred, her scowl returning to her face as soon as the medicine cat left. She smirked, pleased that the young she-cat hadn't been curious as to why they weren't in the heart of StarClan, but apparently the border was good enough. With one last flick of her tail, she turned and walked back into the shadowy depths of the Dark Forest. 20:07, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

(they should both be like 'omg it's true' or whatever ouo But yeah sorry xD) Petalpaw looked at her mentor and sighed. Write it on the sky 20:09, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit's Leader Ceremony ~ Janury 12th, 2013
Risingspirit looked at his sister. I wonder if she's surpirsed that I brought up Moonleaf. "Should we?" 00:19, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface thought for a moment "Yes, we should" she mewed at last. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 00:20, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit padded into AutumNClan camp. "We need Moonleaf!" he boomed. 00:23, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thunderfoot narrowed his eyes "Why?" he growled, his claws flexing. Moonleaf walked out of the Medicine den and saw Risingspiit and Beautifulface "Risingspirit! Beautifulface!  What are you doing here?" she asked, the dream of the battle hanging freshly in her head --- Beautifulface looked at Thunderfoot "We came for Moonleaf, we need her" she mewed calmly. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 00:25, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit looked down at Thunderfoot. "She's my mate's sister, and we want her to accompany us on my trip to the Mooncave." He looked around. "SummerClan invaded us, but we fought them off. Blackstar is dead." 00:26, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thunderfoot's eyes widened, but he gazed at the Medicine cat, he thought for a moment, but nodded "Fine, she can go. Make sure Petalpaw can take care of the clan for a bit" he growled, but he walked away. Moonleaf gasped "So thats the battle I saw!" she mewed, her eyes filled with pain "That means that.... You're leader?" she mewed wisefully "And you, Beautifulface, are you full medicine cat?" she guessed. Beautifulface nodded "Yes, Shinefrost stepped down" she mewed. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 00:32, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit nodded. "I am leader now. Blackstar was too young to die..." Risingspirit sniffled. "Well, lets go." 00:33, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Moonleaf bowed her head and walked with Risingspirit and Beautifulface. Beautifulface stopped at the Mooncave "This is the Mooncave" she mewed to Risingspirit, who had not seen the Mooncave yet. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 00:37, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit looked around. "It's beautiful." He padded inside and stopped at the pool. "Do I drink this or..?" 00:38, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface dipped her head "Yes, drink then you will fall asleep, and StarClan will guide you from there" she mewed,. Moonleaf drank the water and closed her eyes. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 00:41, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit drank the water and fell asleep. Stars and light shone around him in StarClan as he was greeted by Goosekit. "Goosekit! Good to see you, buddy! I'm so sorry about what happened...it was wrong..." Goosekit smiled and nodded. "Don't worry about it, it is a better place here in StarClan." Risingspirit looked down. "Who killed you?" Goosekit shook his little head. "Only time can tell that, Risingspirit." All of a sudden, nine cats surrounded him. An unfamiliar black and white she-cat, Red-eye, Mistcloud, Steamcloud, Frostshell, Lifekit, Reedstar, Blackstar and that black she-cat from the crowd. Risingspirit was surprised. ''Frostshell is dead? Oh StarClan no!'' The black she-cat stepped forward. 00:46, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

"Hello. You may not know me, but I know you." the black and white she-cat meowed. The stars in her fur were now bright. "I am Herbpetal, and I was the medicine cat before Shinefrost, and I had been kidnapped by the Dark Forest before I escaped. With this life, I give you love. Use it to love all the cats in your care as if they were your own kits, especially Wildheart." she meowed, and after she gave him the life, she padded back to the others.

Risingspirit felt a surge of pain through his whole body. His paws stretched out and his fur ruffled up. Remain calm, Risingspirit, remain calm, he thought. His fur settled and Red-eye stepped forward. "Hello, Risingspirit. You did it. I knew you were coming ever since I died." She touched noses with him. "With this life, I give you knowledge. Use it to know everything around you and use it in a positive way. Risingspirit felt another pang of pain, this one stronger than the other one. It made him bear his teeth and claw at the ground. His fur settled once again as his mother stood up. Looking at her made him want to cry. "Mistcloud...," he mewed calmly. His mother winked at him. "With this life, I give you parenting. Use it to treat every member of your family as your kits, and cherish each and every one of them." Risingspirit got knocked back on his feet a little with this pain. He felt his heart grow a little more as if to make room for more love. His father, Steamcloud, stepped forward. "Steamcloud...," he said, feeling the same pain as when he saw Mistcloud." 00:54, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Steamcloud smiled as he padded over to his son. He licked his son's shoulder, purring. "Be strong, my son." Steamcloud purred. He smiled. "With this life I give you pride, never doubt yourself or your Clan, as you're capable of amazing things." He touched his nose to his son's, giving him the life.

Risingspirit felt like he was electricuted, the pain was so bad. Every single inch of his fur was on end and he felt like he would blow back if he didn't keep his paws fully on the ground. "I will, Father, I will." Frostshell stepped forward, on her small, light paws. "Frostshell!" Risingspirit called, "Who in the name of StarClan killed you?" Frostshell put her tailtip to her mouth. "As Goosekit said, time will reveal that." She looked into his eyes. "With this life, I give you justice. Use it to notice every cat around you, and to find out what is right." Risingspirit was trembling with pain, his paws and legs were barely a support. He yowled out a little yelp of pain, and the ceremony went on. Little Lifekit bounced forward. "Hi Daddy," she mewed, her voice so high and new that it made Risingspirit sad. He'd never see his daughter grow up. "With this life, I give you understanding. Use it to sympathize those around you and help them when you can." Risingspirit didn't feel pain with this life, he felt love. He looked down at his daughter and winked, and she winked right back. Risingspirits blood heated and then cooled to a normal temperature. Reedstar stepped forward. "Reedstar!" Risingspirit called. "It's been too long!" 01:08, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

"Indeed it has, Risingspirit." Reedstar dipped her head to Risingspirit. "With this life, I give you patience. Use it well as you wait for life to unfold its many mysteries." Reedstar touched her nose to the black tabby tom's head. 01:12, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit felt coolness in his eyes and felt like a freezing ocean was covering his pelt. Then, he felt like he was on fire and began to jump up and down. Blackstar stepped forward. "Oh Blackstar....I'm so sorry you're gone, I thought I weaked Rowanstar...." 01:14, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Blackstar nodded solumnly. "It was my time to go. You tried to avenge me by taking Rowanstar's life after I died." Blackstar meowed, pelt shining with stars. "With this life, I give you mercy. Use it to forgive and care for your enimies. I went to far, and showed no mercy toward SummerClan. I don't want you to do that too." She touched her nose to Risingspirit's. 01:20, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingspirit nodded. His insides near his heart seemed to glow and he felt pain throughout his spine. He bent down to the ground and back up. The last cat stepped forward. "Hello," she mewed. "My name is Risingfeather." Risingspirit nodded. "I'm Risingspirit." The cat from the crowd! he thought. 01:22, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingfeather's ice-blue eyes were narrowed, her head held high as she approached Risingspirit. Reedstar, who was standing back, looked uncomforatble, her eyes narrowed to slits at the she-cat. Her fur was bristling, and her ears were flat against her head, but the former leader didn't dare utter a word. Risingfeather gave a smug smirk at her daughter over her shoulder, before continuing. "I was a medicine cat of your great clan," she began. "With your ninth and final life, I give you the life of trust- something to guide both your heart and your clan's soul through the darkest of times. Never allow that bond to fade," she murmured, flicking her tail while she touched her nose to Risingspirit's head. She allowed the shock of the life to pass through, and took a step back, looking the tom up and down. "I honor you by your new name, Risingstar. Your old life is no more. You have the nine lives of a great leader, and StarClan," Risingfeather meowed. And the Dark Forest. "-grants you the leadership of WinterClan. Defend your clan well- care for the elderly, sick, disabled, and young; honor your ancestors and the code; live each life to the fullest, with both dignity and pride," she concluded, her blue eyes sparking. 01:35, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingstar nodded. "I will, Risingfeather. Thank you, thank you all!" StarClan cheered his name. "RISINGSTAR! RISINGSTAR! RISINGSTAR!" Risingstar smiled and looked at his family. He was leader now. His destiny is fulfilled. 01:38, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface and Moonleaf cheered "RISINGSTAR! RISINGSTAR! RISINGSTAR!" they chorused. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 01:42, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingstar woke up and saw Moonleaf and his sister. "I did it...I'm leader." 01:44, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Moonleaf purred "I always knew you two could do it" she mewed. Beautifulface smiled "We are the greatest, now and forever" she mewed. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy &lt;333333 01:46, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Risingstar put his tail round his sister. "We've grown since we were kits, look at us now!" Risingstar looked around. "I wish Mistcloud and Steamcloud were here to see this...and Lifekit." 01:51, January 13, 2013 (UTC)

Beautifulface lookec compassionatly "Our mom and dad will always be with us, even if thier not on the ground. Your daughter will too, if she has our blood, nothing will stop her from being great, even from StarClan" she mewed softly. ♥ Stoem  star  ❄  My special little boy <333333 01:53, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
