Mist frowned. Only two warriors?! Thats sad. She glanced around the camp to see if that was true. "I suppose its not necessary. Maybe if the clan grows we'll appoint one. Or when one of us...dies."
Charcoal shifted his shoulders. "Shall we go before StarClan then?" he meowed quietly. "I guess so," Mist breathed, rising. "Keep an eye on things Dragontooth."
The two cats padded for the medicine cat den. Mist was hyperaware of Charcoal's presence and was uncomfortable beside him. She wasn't sure she liked the idea of leading with a cat who was basically a stranger. Well, I'll soon get to know him, won't I?
They entered the den. Charcoal's eyes flicked around, wide and curious. He'd never seen a place so rich with pungent scents. Ahead he spotted the pool. The tom watched Mist lay down by the water hesitantly. Her eyes turned up to watch him expectantly and he laid down by her. The tom narrowed his eyes, annoyed for he sensed her flinching away. He eyed the grey she-cat as she lowered her muzzle to the water, and he followed her example.
Ice shot through his body and he jolted awake in a bright, sunny field. He glanced to his left. Mist wasn't there. Charcoal frowned and lifted his eyes, jumping when he saw that a cat had appeared before him.
The orange and black CieloClan tom spoke. "Welcome Charcoal," his voice was smooth. "Its time we make you a leader. Since you will be leading with Mist you will each be granted five lives instead of ten."
Lives?
"Yes, thats right Charcoal." The tom's eyes flashed for a moment, laced with sorrow. "Now stand there, and I will begin."
Strength. Endurance. Agility. Loyalty. Love...
"...And from this moment on, you will be known as...Charcoalstar."
The tom's head spun. Dizzy, he awoke.
-x-
Mist's eyes brightened as she recognized the familiar faces around her. "Veilstar," she meowed softly. Her heart clenched. The leader wasn't the foremost in the crowd though. An unfamiliar she-cat stepped forward. She had an odd scent...Ancient, forgotten.
"Welcome Mist..."
Wisdom. Courage. Faith. Discernment. Love.
"...And from now on, you will be know as Mistedstar." A smile tugged at the she-cat, Dawnstar's face.
-x-
The two leaders padded out of the den, dazed. "Come on," Mistedstar breathed, leaping above the leader's den to announce the news. Charcoal joined her a moment later. "May all cats old enough to catch their own prey join together for a clan meeting!"

All of the cats awaked and grouped together under the stars. Dragontooth stood proudly under the tree and looked up at his leaders. Marblepaw sat with Newpaw and Ethre and Mudd. Newpaw kept his face glued to the brightest star above him, hoping it was his father watching him. Foxwit leaned against Wolfecho, comforted by his half brother's scent. Willowrain stretched and sat with Asterfire as the tatered clan lifted their eyes and pricked their ears in utter silence in order to hear the meeting over the sounds of night. Just peeking over the treetops was to moon that was just starting to wane. I cast long shadows through the forest. In the sky, new stars shined through as the fallen warriors joined starclan and gazed down at the last of the clan cats.

ooc:...power...playing...Good description though. x3 bic:
Charcoalstar stared down at all the unfamiliar faces. It was a good thing they were co-leading, because he knew these strangers wouldn't want to listen to him alone. He nearly jumped when Mistedstar's strong voice jolted him from his thoughts. "Following the orders of StarClan, VelareClan and UccelloClan are no more. There will only be one clan henceforth, and it will be known as DayClan. I Mistedstar, and Charcoalstar from the former UccelloClan will be the leaders of this clan. We expect you to respect us both equally."
Charcoalstar noticed the grey she-cat's tail twitching anxiously as she spoke, though her voice didn't show any weakness. Before the cats below could respond, he added, "There is no other way for us to survive."
Ethre narrowed her eyes angrily. Her father, and Veilstar too, she supposed, had worked so hard to found their clans! It was all gone now. They had gotten nowhere.
Wolfecho raised his voice, meowing back, "What about deputy? Who will be the deputy?"
"There will be no deputy. The two of us can take care of things. Does anyone else have anything to say?" Mistedstar asked, eager to get out of the spotlight. She would need to get used to the attention.

Dragontooth's mouth dropped open. He leaned over to Wolfecho and whispered "But they said I was!" Foxwit squeezed inbetween the two toms. "I think it's fair though, admit it Dragontooth.. It would too much to have two leaders and a deputy. Now you can be a warrior a little longer." ------------ Newpaw looked down from the stars and blinked to get the sparkles out of his eyes. He looked over at Ethre and lowed his ears when he saw that she was angry. "What's bugging you? Is it me?" he whipered worridly. He was getting the feeling that Ethre didn't like him at all. Marblepaw nugded Mudd gently and shook with excitment as she exclaimed "Now the the clan is set, again, We all might be warriors!" ------------------------- "Wilowrain sighed and walked back to the den she curled up in a tight ball and tried to imagine how a tiny group of cats could become like her vision of Dayclan.

"Well, if they said you'd be deputy then you probably will be, when they finally need to appoint one." Wolfecho eyed his brother, curious. "Don't be too ambitious, now."
-x-
Mudd glanced up at Newpaw as he walked over. "You think she might be upset that Ravenstar died for nothing? Everything UccelloClan ever worked for...It doesn't matter now," Mudd grimaced. She had spoken a little too harshly. "I'll never be a warrior," she drearily meowed.

Marblepaw shot upright. "What kind of talk is that?! You just have to train differently than us. Of course you'll be a warrior!" In the back of the apprentence's mind she wondered about he own ceremony. It probrably would be soon since the apprentences outnumbered the warriors, and since she and Newpaw fought in the battle. The Battle. Skyrush came into veiw and a wimper escaped her lips as she remembered her sin. Her eyes were wet once again and she padded into the apprentence den. She looked around it and a idea sparked in her mind. She rushed back out and bowled into the other three. "Let's go collect moss for the whole camp so it's freash and cleaner!" -------------------------------------- Newpaw turned back to Ethre "The good that your father and clan did was wonderful, it started the clans again, it got the insiders and turned them into a clan! Your Father did what he could in the mess of a situation that was thrown on him, I bet the starclan leaders were impressed at how your father and clan stuck together the try to follow clan ways. It's a part of our history, so it will always matter..." Newpaw tried to saw the right things that were true in order to make his love feel better. He jumped up when Marblepaw suggested somthing to do. "Great idea!, Are you going to join in?" He looked at Mudd and Ethre.

Dragontooth nodded to his brothers, he padded into the center of the camp and looked around him. The medicine cats den looked full, the dens were stale, the fresh kill pile was alright, but the barrior was a shamful mess. He walked back to his brothers and sat. "We should get to work on the barrior and bramble passage, it's all broken."

"Okay," Mudd meowed. "That's a good idea." Ethre nodded, but there was a question in her eyes. "Where do we find the moss?" her sister guessed.
No matter what they say, how can I become a warrior? I'll never be able to fight and I can't imagine being good at hunting. Maybe Ethre and I can figure something out.
-x-
"Sure," Wolfecho softly meowed. "I found a great patch of brambles a few days ago that we could use."

Newpaw tilted his head, "Ummmm... I think there was some growing around my birch tree." he mumbled embarrased. "Great!" cut in Marblepaw, "Do you think we should tell Mistedstar where we are going first?" Newpaw glanced over his shoulder at his new leader and wondered how long she would last.

Dragontooth lowered his head to sneeze and Foxwit tickled it with his tail to make him sneeze again. Foxwit answered his brother's glare with "Good bless you sneezy!" Neither of them could suppress and chuckle. "Lead the Wolfie!" laughed Dragontooth.

"Uh, yeah," Mudd mumbled. "We don't want the leaders to think we've wandered off and they have to track us down." She hoped Mistedstar would allow them, because she didn't want to sit around waiting any longer.
-x-
Wolfecho smiled a little at his brothers, and then began to pad towards the bramble patch he'd discovered. They were there shortly, and the big tom smiled again, glad that he had remembered the way at all. "Here we are," he announced.

ooc- hey, who's bigbrow? bic- Marblepaw padded politley up to Mistedstar and explained, "The apprentences and me thought that it would be a good idea to completely refreash the camp by bringing in moss and stuff for the whole camp, can we go?"

Mistedstar flashed an exhausted smile in greeting. "Sure, just be back before dark." The sun was beginning to sink. She was glad that the apprentices were going to make themselves useful, for it meant less of her mind.
ooc: I have no idea.

ooc- that's kind of creepy bic- Marblepaw turned and called "You'll be soo suprised!" over her shoulder as she bounced to her friends. "all set guys! lets go!" She quickly ran over to the cave and saw that there was only one leaf of thyme left. I'll bring some back, she thought and padded out through the bramble passage after Newpaw. --------------------------------- Newpaw strechted and led the way out of the bramble passage. Her quickened up slightly as his paw set into his familiar trial. He waved his tail in greeting as he passed the warriors near some bramble. After a few more fox lenghths, a giant birch tree erupted from the ground which was carpeted by moss. "Ta Da." whispered Newpaw as her sat next to Ethre.

ooc: Look watch-- www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=574bic: Ethre didn't respond. The tree was beautiful. It made her angry. UccelloClan never had anything like this. She stood and padded over to the tree, unsure if she really wanted to scar its beauty. Yes, I need to, she encouraged herself, and angrily began stripping moss from the roots.
