From the Gathering, Rowanstar made his way up to his Den, but instead of that he was just going to wait for Nettlesong and Lionkit, he moved over to the ledge that was a good view of the entrance so that he could see if they came in. His thoughts spinning as he thought about what Maplestar suggested he didn't want to be mean and leave it all to BlogClan but he wanted his Clan's input and was that so bad to do? First thing after the question to his two remaining Clan mates would be to start getting Food, he had started to feel a bit hungry but he held it in.
The WoodsClan leader had his tail on his paws as he watched for his Clan mates he wondered how the journey for them would be. He sat waiting patiently for his Clan mates to return. |

Lionkit slowly padded into the camp. He turned towards the nursery but noticed Rowanstar standing there waiting for him outside the Leader's Den. Yawning from the journey, he changed direction and stepped up to Rowanstar, slowly, as if the leader was some sort of Tow-leg thing he wanted to secretly play with. "Rowanstar?" he said, cautiously. Lionkit didn't want to make a fool of himself and start talking as if his Clan leader was just another of the kit's old friends he once played with day and night. He missed them, but they would be back, soon. They were just out on a big patrol. Where else would they be?

Rowanstar felt bad about Lionkit not having anyone to play with, the little kit was always looking for someone to play with and Rowanstar being busy had no time to play or even talk with the young cat. And when it came down to Lionkit getting a mentor it was just a scary thought to the WoodsClan leader, there wasn't any warriors for Lionkit to be an Apprentice to and he couldn't let Lionkit go without a naming ceremony.
Rowanstar was looking at the sky until he heard a small voice, he looked down and grinned a bit ''Hello young, Lionkit'' he stood up onto his all four and glanced down at the kit was Lionkit tired? ''Are you tired young Lionkit? You can go and sleep if you are'' this was why he didn't let kits come to the Gatherings they would be to tired and wouldn't be able to play with their denmates Rowanstar gazed around the camp with a questioning look in his eyes then he turned back to the kit. ''Where is Nettlesong?'' he didn't want to have this conversation without the Medicine cat but he had to know right away about what they felt about other cats coming to live here.
Rowanstar was just going to ask him if he wanted to join up with the other leaders he coughed slightly then looked back at the kit once more ''Would you mind if maybe the leaders of CliffClan and BogClan came to live here?'' he tried to make the question simple for the young cat to understand. |

Lionkit tried to look as awake and alert as possible. "I'm fine. I don't wanna go to sleep, yet" he said. He couldn't act like a newborn kit. Lionkit was almost an Apprentice! He needed to impress Rowanstar so, when he became a Warrior, he would give Lionkit a cool Warrior Name.
Lionkit tilted his head a little at the mention of Nettlesong. "Um, I think I saw her heading across the territory to gather herbs," he nodded. "She should be back, soon, I think. Nettlesong's really fast." This was the truth, to Lionkit. Nettlesong was the only Medicine Cat he'd ever seen - and the only older cat (other than Rowanstar) he could remember running.
The small tom shifted his feet around, nervously. He knew Rowanstar had more to say and awaited his commanding voice. ''Would you mind if maybe the leaders of CliffClan and BogClan came to live here?'' Lionkit fumbled the question in his mind before finally replying. "You mean Flamestar and Maplestar?" he asked. "Yeah, they can come. Maybe one of them have kits in their Clan that will play with me!'' With that being said, Lionkit nodded to the leader and dismissed himself to the Nursery to clean himself off.
OOC: He isn't referring to Maplestar's kits. Just... naively referring to any other kits in the Clans. |

Nettlesong stepped into the camp quite swiftly, aware that her entrance was late. Lionkit and Rowanstar were both already present. She slowed her pace and padded towards them calmly. Dipping her head politely to her leader and younger Clanmate, she sat herself down and flicked her tail over her paws. Curling her paw around her like this gave her a sense of security; the safe vibe she got from doing this quickly made it become a bit of a habit of hers. She flicked her ear, wondering how much they had talked about without her.
She cursed herself for being late, but she had purposefully taken a longer route. Not to collect herbs, or anything mildly reasonable like that, but to come to terms with her own thoughts. To figure out if she actually wanted the three Clans to become one while they recovered. After all, was that what was best for everyone? But now her mind was made up; and it was her Clanmate's thoughts that really mattered. 'Sorry for my lateness,' meowed the black medicine cat. She began to organise some pebbles in front of her into a straight line. It was a quirk of hers, and she was still paying attention.

Noticing Nettlesong enter the camp, Lionkit quickly finished his self-groomingand slowly padded out of the Nursery and into the center of camp. "Nettlesong, he said in greeting, attempting to be more formal about things now that he was one of the only cats left in the Clan... until, of course, all his friends came back from the Patrol they went on. Of course, they would never return. They had all fallen ill because of Socrates's disease. They had all died. Because of the sheer number of deaths, many were buried side-by-side in haste as there was no time for proper burials. Rituals meant nothing when a Clan is at stake.

Rowanstar had not counted on Lionkit agreeing to letting the leaders stay but he didn't mind having them to come and live with them, he looked across the clearing and watched the young kit head off to the nursery. Hm...the kit really did need someone to play with and Rowanstar was to busy these days. Setting up the dens and soon to be setting up the patrols. This was going to be a problem since his Clan was no more and the only ones left was a Medicine Cat and a Kit.
His head came to rest on the Medicine cat he always admired her and if things got wrong he went to her not like he couldn't do it on his own but a simple input to his desion would make him feel at ease, Sorry for my lateness he just shrugged and looked at her with a warm smile ''It's fine Nettlesong, but I want to know something..You probably know what I'm going to ask'' he continued to glance at Nettlesong but Lionkit came back out and he felt a warm breeze stretch over him he had always cared for Lionkit even if he wasn't his own kit. |

Nettlesong lifted her midnight coloured head and looked at her leader. She respected him very much, and thought he was an admirable cat... it was such a shame that their Clan's numbers had decreased so dangerously. It was a horrible, horrible scenario and she could hardly imagine how painful it must be to Rowanstar, as Clan leader. Although, she felt awful about the fact that so many members of their Clan died, while she sat and helplessly watched. She should probably feel lucky she was still alive, but it was difficult to appreciate anything when the times were so dark.
Flicking her ear to acknowledge Lionkit's greeting, she felt a pang of sympathy for the kit. He was still so young! Yet he was growing up in a disturbingly morbid atmosphere, and he couldn't do many things that a kit would usually enjoy doing. He couldn't scuffle about in the dirt with any littermates or cats of his age, because there weren't any left! Nettlesong felt very sorry for him, and hoped that his grim childhood wouldn't prevent him from becoming a noble warrior. In fact, Nettlesong hoped that this darkness would shape him into a stronger cat. She looked at him carefully. Poor scrap. If the mood of the conversation wasn't so serious, she would have padded over and given him an affectionate lick between the ears.
But that was soon put at the back of her mind when Rowanstar spoke. She shuffled her paws and accidentally messed up the order of her line of stones. After a sudden hiss of frustration, she decided to try and ignore it for now and concentrate on the conversation, despite the little voice in the back of her head urging her to reorganize them. 'Yes... if you're asking for my opinion, Rowanstar, I say that we come together. WoodsClan has three members, and no warriors. We're vulnerable and lost. And the other Clans are as well, so it makes sense that we merge.' She began to realign her stones when she finished speaking.

To be honest, he wouldn't want them to at all. What if those Clans attack? They would know his Clan inside and in and he wouldn't want to get a surprise attack from BogClan or CliffClan but Lionkit and Nettlesong had given their opinion and Rowanstar was going to stand by it. Now all he had to do was wait until the next Gathering, he just sighed and he knew he had to start Hunting, since Lionkit was to young and Nettlesong was probably busy.
Rowanstar nodded he stood up and yawned slightly, ''I think we all need to rest, Tomorrow I'll have to start hunting'' he sighed at the thought, he was busy and who would protect Lionkit? This was the problem of just having a Young kit and a Medicine cat, he looked down at them waiting for them to say something else before he headed off to sleep. |

But, before the cats could reply, before Rowanstar could even begin to move in the direction of his den, a black shape shot into WoodsClan camp. It was, the greatest of surprises, to be holding a clan meeting, when the leader of another clan, flew into your camp. Of course, at first one might try and attack, in self-defense. But, then it would be noticed that the black leader, was carrying two small bundles. At first, this would be confusing. Then, she would set them down, and it was revealed that the two were kits.
Flamestar was gasping and tiered. She hadn't stopped sprinting since she'd picked up the kits, except for dropping three of them off at BogClan camp. She needed to talk to Rowanstar. And, she'd like to talk to him alone, and allow him to choose exactly what to tell his clan. But, first she had to avoid being killed in WoodsClan's self defense. After all, she was a BogClan cat. |

Rowanstar was waiting for his Clan mates to say something but he heard someone come through the entrance, his head raised from his glance at Lionkit and Nettlesong and he glanced over at the BogClan Leader, Rowanstar growled lightly but he knew that they would both be a good match for each other if they had started to fight.
Rowanstar calmed down he didn't want to show that he was getting upset over this small thing ''What is the meaning of this entry?'' he glanced at Flamestar and then the small figures her back made him even more confused ''Alright, what's going on?'' he wanted to know right away so if it was something serious then he would help out Flamestar. |

Flamestar stood up, her chest pressed outward as she mewed, "Maplestar is dead. All of CliffClan is dead. I do not know what killed Maplestar, but I do know CliffClan was wiped out by the sickness. These kits are two of Maplestar's five kits, The other three are in BogClan camp, where there are a warrior and an apprentice to watch over them, as well as me." She paused to let this sink in. "BogClan cannot care for all five, and I hope that WoodsClan will care for these two."
The perfect lead into her next sentence. " That is not the only reason I came though. I am proposing that BogClan and WoodsClan work together, for the simplest of reasons. You have Nettlesong, who I hear is quite skilled in Medicine. BogClan has no Medicine Cat. BogClan has a leader, warrior and an apprentice, who can fight off enemies and catch prey. It is simple-we have no choice but to work together. It may be the only way to make sure we don't end up like CliffClan-gone." She finished and her eyes glanced around camp, to see the WoodsClan cats reaction. |

Rowanstar was probably looking heart stricken she was such a great leader and appearently would have made a great mother, but she wasn't here now and the least he could do was care for her kits..but Flamestar wanted to work together. Well that was that he wanted the kits to be healthy and he knew that the kits wouldn't get any food by just standing around. BogClan had Warriors and Apprentices and they would hunt.
Rowanstar nodded and looked at the kits, he stepped forward and glanced at the kit. They we're so cute and he wouldn't want them to die, ''I will propose one thing..You move into our camp.'' he just glanced up at her, hoping that she'd agree but before she could say anything Rowanstar whipped around to Nettlesong, ''Nettlesong take the five kits to the nursery, they're going to stay here'' he nodded to her and turned back to Flamestar with a challanging glare in his eyes. |

Flamestar held the glare. "I believe you mean two kits. The other three, are safe in BogClan camp." The words were a challenge of their own. Flamestar wasn't stupid, but, BogClan and WoodsClan could not live together. Help each other, not fight, temporarily erase the border lines, yes. But live together? No. Each was suited for the land it lived on. They were not one clan. When their clans had gained strength, then there would no longer be peace. There would be two warring clans in the forest once more.
"BogClan cannot move into your camp. I will admit it: We simply cannot stand the trees around us. It's suffocating. we are suited for life in the bog, as you are suited for life in the woods. We might be best to establish a night meeting, where we will share prey and, if needed, herbs and how to use them. But, we cannot live in your camp. We would bring home no prey. The situation would be worse then it is now. We will help you hunt. But, we cannot stay with you in your camp." She finished. |

Rowanstar was angry, BogClan should move into WoodClan Camp! That way the kits will be easy access, he didn't want to start a fight now, not in front of Lionkit and Nettlesong but he thought she was not thinking at all, But if that was what she wanted then she may do what she pleases.
Rowanstar made a angry glare at her before resting his eyes on the kits, ''If you say so, Although it would be easy for us all.. and that was what Maplestar did want'' he just sighed, it would be temporary anyways so what was the hostility all about? ''I have the Medicine Cat..and you got the Warriors. I don't see why we couldn't merge temporarily..Also food for the kits? Aren't they new-born? They need milk.'' This was a hard thing to comparise on.
The WoodsClan leader looked at the two kits who we're spost to be in his Clan, he didn't have any doubt about doing this, the kits couldn't be left alone, ''Alright here lets just finish this up, these kits need to sleep and so does my Clan..unless the kits are sleeping already.'' he shrugged, the kits eye's we're closed but he didn't know if they we're sleeping or not. ''Flamestar, give me a Suggestion to make this work..'' |
