xx.Return of a leader//

[Brambles]

Mustangstar lept joyfully to the top of the Highledge, his brown and white pelt flashing from the sunlight that streamed down from the sun-high sky. He glanced around the camp, then yowled out the familiar greeting. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!"

[Amber]

Fearow bounded eagerly forward, and jumped gracefully into the air, landing with a thud in front of the Highledge. She didn't grin or smile, just crane her neck elegantly to gaze upon Mustangstar.

Nickel padded half-heartedly towards the Highledge. He still wasn't sure about this Clan life thing, and he missed his parents. But, if Dime thought it was good for him, he had to believe her.

[rem<EMBER me]

Spiritheart and Swirlmark padded out of the warrior's den. Spiritheart, a sleek black she-cat, shook a few pieces of moss from her fur as she walked towards the Highledge. Swirlmark followed her friend, and sat down facing Mustangstar. Her brown eyes gleamed as she awaited the arrival of the rest of the clan.

[Amber]

Frozentail dashed towards the Highledge, clearly embarrassed he had been late.

Allureblaze limped slowly to her Clan, leaning against her brother. She had to limp because if she strained her neck the wrong way, it would pour blood. But upon arriving, she jumped back, emitting a strange strangled cry. Her eyes fell onto Fearow's slim figure and she found herself instantly seeing her mother in the stranger.

Cemetarygrave jerked back to reality as his sister jumped. He followed her gaze, and then his eyes widened.

[Brambles]

Mustangstar looked around, but himself was too excited to wait any further for other cats to come. "Fearow and Nickel, you both have come from outside of the Clan life, but I assure you, you will be taught how to live like a blood warrior, and you will be great at it." The regal leader meowed with something near to arrogance, though not quite there. He looked at them, then meowed, "Nickel, from this day forwards, you will be known as Hazepaw. Your mentor will be Swirlmask. I hope you train with vigilance to become the best you can be." Mustangstar turned his attention to Fearow, smiling down at the she-cat. They had been through so much together, even Fearowstars death, but the chance to see his mentor, leader, and the one who felt like his mother was overwhelming. "Fearow," He began, only the slightest of trembles in his voice, "from this moment on you will be known as Fearowpaw. I will personally be your mentor."

[rem<EMBER me]

Swirlmark padded forward to touch noses with her apprentice, Hazepaw. Her eyes were gleaming with happiness. She finally had her first apprentice! As she walked forward, the gray swirls in her fur seemed to shine in the dull light in the camp. She looked down at Hazepaw and meowed. "So what would you like to do first?"

[Amber Ish Too Laaaazy XP]

Fearowpaw trotted calmly towards her mentor, leader, and former APPRENTICE. She touched noses, and then pulled back. "So, um," she mewed just loud enough for only him to hear clearly, "I know some stuff, but..I sort of forgot some fighting moves and other stuff. Okay, maybe a lot of stuff...So, can you teach ME everything I tought YOU?"

Hazepaw touched noses awkwardly, mimiccing his sister's sure moves. "I'm...I don't know," he stammered, "I don't really know much about anything. The warrior code, fighting, hunting...anything will do, I guess." He shrugged.

[Brambles]

Mustangstar smiled at Fearowpaw, blue orbs flashing in the sunlight. A deep purr rumbled through his throat as he meowed, "Of course Fearowst--I mean Fearowpaw." A lok of confusion crossed Mustangstars face, having almost called his former MENTOR and now APPRENTICE(xD) by her leader name. "You will remember it soon enough Fearowpaw, but you will still have to wait a while to become a warrior again."

[Darketh[the not so kind]]

A small gust blew through the camp carrying with it a strong scent that was familiar to the clan. Badgerstar's shining form stood for only Fearowpaw and Mustangstar to see. "I see you have found your way back the clan. Remember Dreamclan is with you as it has and will always be." He said the last part directed to both of them.

(I got bored.)

[whitetiger]

Icystrike appeared too."Of course we will always be here." She said in a perky voice. Icystrike smiled." I think Badgerstar is horrible at hunting in dreamclan, but he'll get the hang of it, i hope." her smile turned into a grin."I'm dead but i still have fun." She looked at mustangstar."You were always my friend, and never think your not a good leader. Mustangstar, you should talk to jewelstrike. She still thinks she's a horrible deputy and a horrible warrior. I don't know why, but she thinks it's her fault about streambreeze. Oh, and don't be mad at her for giving streambreeze, allureblaze, and cemetarygrave. I told her too, i was kinda in her thoughts." She paused."She did the right thing." She looked at fearowpaw."I will miss having you with me in dreamclan, but I'm glad you get a second chance at life."


Icystrike looked at badgerstar."We should go, we don't want cats thinking their crazy." She giggled." Bye mustangstar and fearowpaw. See you in your dreams, or maybe in your thoughts."

[Amber]

"Mmhmm," Fearowpaw whispered quietly to her friend, then added, "Maybe one day you can come back to life. I think if someone related to you has kits, you can end up being one of them. See, my long distant ancestors were kittypet siblings. Some of them chose to leave and form Clans, and others stayed kittypets. I suppose that my kittypet side of the family has borne me now..." She sighed, closing her eyes a moment. Then opened them. "Badgerstar, you were a great leader..." she murmured, "I always knew you were going to be."

[whitetiger]

Icystrike smiled."I hope. Maybe my sons might have kits in rageclan or maybe sunpaw or streambreeze will have kits. I have a big chance. I had four kits. Do you know how hard it was to train sablemask after having kits? Let me tell you it hard." She looked at badgerstar again."Sorry that I didn't tell you before I died." She looked at her paws and then back to mustangstar." Tell sablemask, I'm sorry I let him down as a mentor.Please mustangstar just tell him that. I have to go, more jobs to do. Dreamclan never sleeps or at least me." She nodded good bye and disappeared.

[Darketh[the not so kind]]

Badgerstar nodded, "Thank you Fearowpaw, live well and brave. And thank you for giving me the chance to be a leader. But as we all know I have no kin, and I do not mind. I will watch over Iceclan." He said as he faded away.

[dove]

Swanwing met half way with Icystrike and Badgerstar. She was fading slowly, but she felt distraught at forgetting more and more. Her mind was taking form of a kit's. "Icystrike, Badgerstar...." She meowed. Her eyes used to always be filled with emotions of love, understanding, and dertermination. Now, they became blank. "Why does Fearowpaw remember, when I will have no memory?" She asked. "I want to remember Sunshine and Streambreeze, and Cemetarygrave, and Allureblaze. I want to remember my pain and my loss, and my love." Her thoughts went to her friends, and SHadowblaze for a second. "Is there any way where I can remember?"

OOC: Don't let there be a way, I want her to be a kit, without her memories of being a warrior please.

[whitetiger]

Icystrike frowned."I'am afraid there is no way swanwing. You see you are not related to swankit, so you wil have no memory. Fearowpaw was related to dime, so she had memory still." She paused."I'am sorry swanwing, but there is nothing we can do."
