The First of WoodsClan have Arrived [Open]

[rainstorm]

Rowanstar

Rowanstar nodded to Flamestar ''My apprentice can not go though, he has not been taught as of yet'' he hated telling Flamestar that but it was the truth, Lionpaw wasn't trained yet but he would start tomorrow.


Cloudkit
Cloudkit squealed as he was picked up, but he didn't make anymore movements, he wanted milk..but he kept hearing the voices of other cats, what was going to happen?[/center]

[Splash]

Cloud meowed through the soft kit fur, "Don't you need to go get the other two kits?" She padded in line right next to Sunpaw. "I think I can find my way from here, plus," -Her tail flicked in Lionpaw's direction- "I would not be surprised if he would be helpful too." She meowed, slowly picking up her pace.

Flamestar flicked her tail through the air. "Isn't that to be expected? He was apprenticed just earlier this morning, right after a tragedy. We...... need to set up a few rules.

(OOC: I'm just gonna list the proposed rules.)

• One of two leaders must always stay at the gathering field. There must be either a warrior or an apprentice accompanying them. We can't leave those who can't defend themselves unguarded.
  
• When hunting, all territory's are open. Currently, there are no boundaries. Though it may be easiest to stay in your own territory.
  
• Our uneasy truce will be over when each clan has a leader, a deputy, and a Medicine Cat.
  
• The warrior code still apply's, though, we currently operate as one clan.
  

Flamestar paused, thinking a moment, before meowing, "I think it might be good for Sunpaw and Lionpaw to hunt together. We can still work here on what to do, and speak with the loner Sunpaw has brought, without the quite exited presence of Lionpaw. Sunpaw can help him learn how to hunt." Lowering her voice, she meowed, "It's also high time for Sunpaw to be made a warrior. I'd like to hold a ceremony as soon as possible."

Sunpaw dipped his head. "Yes, you are right. That's Lionpaw," he said, pointing his tail toward the newly apprenticed tom in the den, helping the kits. "I wouldn't get him too excited, he can be... ah... a little over the top." Turning, he dashed back to the other kits, setting one on his back and picking one up by the scruff. Slowly, using his tail to keep the kit on his back staying on his back, Sunpaw made his way to the make-shift Nursery, hoping the kit doesn't fall.

---

(OOC: GAH! Sunpaw's gonna be a Warrior? *is curious as to the warrior name you have in mind*)

[rainstorm]

Rowanstar

Wow a new Warrior in BogClan, that was something that got Rowanstar excited but he kept calm. ''Yes, of course'' Rowanstar stared around him for a while, was this a good idea? He didn't really trust the BogClan Cats but he had to for the time being. He wanted to go see the kits, he hadn't decided if he would tell Ridgekit and Wrenkit about their mother..that was something later he would have to decide on his own, what was important now was keeping them save..and alive.

Cloudkit

Cloudkit didn't understand what was exactly happening, he heard voices but that didn't matter, all Cloudkit knew was that there was something going on..but he couldn't put his paw on what it was just yet.

[Splash]

"You may join me if you want." Flamestar whispered to Rowanstar. Then the black she-cat, taking a bit of a running start, leaped up to the rock in the middle of the clearing. "All cats who are old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath The Rock to hear my words!" She yowled the traditional call for a meeting. Her eyes flickered to Rowanstar. In truth, she hoped he would join her up here. If only for their clan's sake, they need to appear as if they trusted each other, as if they wanted to work together. They needed to appear as if the were one clan.

Of course, she wouldn't mind if none of the WoodsClan cats gathered. After all, it was a BogClan ceremony. But, it would be best if they could work together. They needed each other, and they couldn't deny it. So, things she need to get done; Talk to Rowanstar about how much the kits should know. Give Sunpaw a warrior name. And Bring the loner into the clan. They needed her. Of course, Flamestar wanted to have the she-cat as a BogClan warrior. It would work well. The WoodsClan kits mother would have died in the sickness, so, the BogClan Queen would serve as their mother. The BogClan kits mother would be the loner. It would work out perfectly. The only variable was the other leader.

Cloud glanced up, thinking for a second about obeying the clan leaders' words. But, no. She was not part of this, not yet. For the moment, her mind was much more on the kits. Cloud continued over to the makeshift den.


[OOC: I was thinking Sunsoul, Sunlight, or Sunshadow, but, you can choose if you want it to be different. Just say the word.]

[Leonid]

---

Lionpaw raised his head, poking it out of the den after getting the kits settled. A Clan meeting? he thought. Hesitating, Lionpaw contemplated not setting foot out of the den. He wanted to stay inside, purposefully disobey Flamestar, unless Rowanstar stepped in and agreed with her. Still, it would be disrespectful. Glancing up at the strange cat beside him, he bounded into the clearing and sat in the middle, the perfect place to hear Flamestar's words.

---

---

Sunpaw quickly placed the kits he was carrying into the den and turned to Cloud. "It's probably best you stay here," he mewed. "In order to gain trust from the others, you probably shouldn't force yourself into the Clans before you're even accepted." Turning, quickly, he raced toward the middle of the rather large clearing, looking up at his leader, wondering what she had in mind for saying in front of the Clans this early in their union.

---

(OOC: Name him what you want. I was just curious as to your ideas. I do like Sunshadow, though... but all my cats that I make seem to end up with shadow as their warrior name. Well, on with the ceremony!)

[rainstorm]

Rowanstar

Rowanstar nodded, of course he would go and see a new warrior be presented infront of StarClan, he loved ceremonys it kept him going every day, he made his way over to the rock in a slow pad but then started to make a running and once he got close he jumped, he landed next to Flamestar and just smiled a bit, he sat behind Flamestar and just awaited for the ceremony to begin. As that happen, thoughts streemed into his head..that Loner he met before, wasn't she going to belong to WoodsClan? Heh..she had too! But of course he would have to say this to Flamestar later.

Cloudkit

It was scary..Cloudkit didn't know what was happening and yet he felt very calm about it..

[Splash]

"The sickness that has hurt us has now brought us together! And despite all that has happened, we are still clans! And that is why we gather here right now!" Flamestar yowled to the small group of cats. "I know an apprentice that has worked hard to learn to learn the ways of the warrior code." She let her eyes glide around the clearing pausing for a few seconds on every visible cat.

This would not be the first ceremony. The loner would have to be brought into the clans. Of course her and Rowanstar would have to decide to what clan. It was then that a thought occurred to her. Why need they decided the loners' fate without her? Why not let the loner choose? Despite the union with WoodsClan, Flammestar was still loyal to her clan. The loner would choose BogClan...... Because BogClan was the clan with more the kits. Their was no reason that she would choose WoodsClan over BogClan, two kits over three kits. Yes, it could be described as greed. But, it was not greed for what Flamestar wanted. It was what would be best for her clan.

Cloud glanced back at the cats. They were gathering for a kind of ceremony. She was almost mesmerized for a few seconds, before pushing herself into the den.


"Sunpaw, step forward. It is time for you to receive your warrior name."

[Leonid]

---

Sunpaw glanced up at his leader for a moment. About time, he thought. I've been practically running this Clan with no help from Dewleaf... where is she, anyways? I want to rub this in her muzzle as soon as I get the chance. Still, he kept his mouth shut, moving forward. He hadn't seen Dewleaf in a while - not since he'd left camp - but she must be here, somewhere. Knowing her, she was taking a nap.

Stepping to just below The Rock, he looked up expectantly at his leader - or leaders, now - in wait of his new name. He would no longer be a -paw. He would finally receive his warrior name and be able to help the Clan without the supervision of his leader - who had more important things to do - or Dewleaf - who, in his eyes, was a bumbling fool who took life as a kit's game. He would finally be able to take a place in the Clan, finally be able to do more to make up for the lack of Clanmates. Finally, he would be a warrior.

"I, Flamestar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commended him to you as a warrior in his tern." Flamestar meowed, "Sunpaw, Do you promise to uphold the warrior code even at the cost of your life?" She meowed the old traditional words. But, they meant nothing new to Flamestar. She'd been treating Sunpaw like a warrior for over the last moon. The main difference to her would be the name.

Cloud glance out from the den once more. These cats were full of strange things, and yet......... It seemed so natural too, so right. And despite any earlier thoughts, she trusted them.

[Leonid]

---

"I do," Sunpaw replied. He nearly said 'duh' but figured it would be a bad moment for his sarcasm. For once, he held his tongue, awaiting his new name. Vaguely, Sunpaw wondered what it would be, but he was more determined to get through the silent vigil and get straight to his new duties. Finally, he would be able to do more than be an apprentice. He would become a full member of BogClan.

---

(OOC: When I do a ceremony, I just look it up online. There are a ton of site to find it on and it's much quicker.)

[Splash]

"Then by the powers of StarClan," Flamestar meowed loudly, "I give you your warrior name. Sunpaw, from this moment forth you will be known as Sunshadow. StarClan honors your creativity and your determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of BogClan."

Flamestar bent her head to rest it on Sunpaw, no, Sunshadow's head. She remembered this moment form the past, time and time again. Sunshadow would lick her shoulder, and then they would start to call his name.

[Leonid]

---

Sunshadow ceremoniously gave his leader's shoulder a lick as she rested her head upon his. He turned to gaze upon the onlookers with gleaming, proud eyes. He was a full warrior, now. Still, he would need to keep a night of silent vigil. It wouldn't be too difficult. All he would have to do is have a little faith in his fellow Clanmates. Then again, maybe it would be a little more difficult than he thought.

[Splash]

"Sunshadow! Sunshadow! Sunshadow!" Flamestar started the call, howling to the sky. A new warrior. This was wonderful. The clans were still strong. They would need to be strong. Leaf-Bare wasn't going to wait. It couldn't be too much longer. She would talk with Rowanstar and get something found out. Hopefully one of BogClan's new kits would show interest in herbs. They needed a Medicine Cat. They couldn't survive without one when the clans broke apart. She was terrified at the thought. But, despite Flamestar's mind going ahead, she pushed it back. Today was a happy day. Today was the day of a new warrior.

[Leonid]

(Well, I was waiting to see if someone else would reply. Apparently that's not going to happen.)

Lionpaw joined in on the call, despite the new warrior not being part of his Clan. "
Sunshadow! Sunshadow! Sunshadow!"

---

Sunshadow dipped his head to his leader and turned to his Clanmates, proudly. It shouldn't be too hard for him to carry out the vigil. He hated most cats he knew and avoided talking to them as much as possible as it was.

(Edit: Meh, decided the old format I was posting in was a bit boring and complicated. This'll do.)
