The best are often found in midst of thunderous chaos.

Despite the clans beginning to truly enter leaffall, the heat continued to beat on and make their lives miserable.. Moosestar was just glad at this point that they weren't RiverClan, who subsisted a lot of it's prey from the river. Of course every clan didn't put all their cats in one den.. but it surely didn't make things easier for them.
With the sun finally beginning to dip from the center of the sky, the abrasive heat finally began to lessen it's grip on not just his clanmates, but the gigh rock itself. This finally made it's surfaces bearable enough to give the announcements for the day.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join me beneath the High Rock for a clan meeting."
The scarred tom called; expression and pose stoic and firm, yet not aggressive. The knowledge about the cause of the seizing deaths finally gave him an island of calm confidence, one that let him believe ThunderClan would be able to grow and thrive. However, with the oncoming cold season that was only moons away from setting it's deadly claws on his clan's shoulders, along with the rogues that dared cross his clan's borders.. he wasn't sure how long that exact kind of confidence would last.

Moosestar selects the cats who get to hear drama this moon.
ThunderClan Camp; High Rock
.。.:* ☆:**:. .。.:* ☆:**:.
Greypebbles was resting, or rather, grooming, on the far side of camp when he watched Moosestar climb the high rock. For a moment, his mind circled to find the possible reason for this meeting, then it clicked and his ears perked. The Gathering! With a heaving breath, Greypebbles stood up from his laying position and shook his grey spotted pelt, walking closer to the main area of the clearing.
He did particularly like Gatherings, but it was a part of keeping peace with all the clans and a way of letting the others know how the clans are doing, and even sorting out situations where other clans or even their own was in need. And he much preferred hearing about the Gathering through the mouths of other cats other than himself. But who was he to appose Moosestar's decision of all cats, that's of course, if he was going to the Gathering.
He didn't attend the last gathering, so he wasn't entirely sure what had occurred and he never dared step a paw close to any of the borders, he never wanted to be involved in any confrontations if he were to accidentally step paw over a border he shouldn't, after all he was still young. So all he did now is glance up at Moosestar to hear his wise words

From the interior of the nursery Bravesong dozed off with his ward, comfortable in his nest. Gathering night was upon him, but he had little to worry about. A queen rarely was called to join the parade to Fourtrees when they had kits to watch. Yet as a familiar voice rang out, Bravesong stirred and gentle escaped hopefully without disturbing Coyotekit. His black and white head poked out, with one good eye staring across the clearing where he spotted Moosestar up on HIghrock.

of course she was stick doing apprentice work. Brindlepaw rolled a fresh springy mass of fresh moss into the elder's for her final trip. The dirty work had already been accomplished so now there was nothing left to do but arrange the moss in their nests for the elder's to use. Wildcry gave her a large birth as the large she-cat slipped out from the den to grab herself a morsel of freshkill. Brindlepaw found her oppertunity as Moosestar's cry rang out across camp, and she skittered out of the den where she did her best to look presentable.

Pushing her way passed the mostly grey apprentice, Wildcry heeded the call of not Moosestar, but her belly. With a caual, yet purposeful trot, she stopped herself at the pile proper as she peered down at what might catch her eye. She tossed a mouse from the top, then a chipmunk... Not to her palette. But eyes lit up at the sight of a robin and hooked it closer to her.

Larchpaw had been waiting for Moosestar's call eagerly, buzzing around camp hardly able to sit still. Surely she would get to go to the gathering this time. She was nearly a warrior and could represent her clan well, plus she was desperate to see the other clans apprentices. She had talked to a few before, but hardly remembered them. She ended up bounding to a halt next to her sister, giving her a light, playful shove on the shoulder to indicate she was excited.

KESTRELSWIPE
Kestrelswipe’s ears pricked at the sound of his leader’s call. Another full moon, another gathering, and hopefully with the shadow of death lifted from the clans this time. He wondered who Moosestar would bring this time. Who else would be there? Maybe friendly Beewhisker again. That’d be nice, he thought. A few of his wasp stings still itched from the...incident the other day. He kept his paws pressed to the dirt to keep from scratching at them.
WRENTALON
Hearing the call, Wrentalon ducked out of the medicine den. He had been helping Tigerrush sort some herbs, and the heavy mint scent was still deep in his nose. Taking deep breaths to try to clear it out, he casually padded over towards the high rock, taking a seat among his fellow warriors.

Dovepaw had finished her hunting chores for the day and, while Mistyleaf had been inspecting the freshkill, the dilute tortie had placed the last pieces down and was looking forward to a good nights sleep. When she heard Moosestar's called, her groaned inwardly and flattened her ears. She completely forgot the Gathering was tonight! As much as she wanted to go, she really didn't feel like she had the energy today but still, she plodded over to where Larchpaw and Brindlepaw were, looking a little disheveled compared to her sisters.
Tigerrush had indeed been sorting herbs and hadn't minded her brother's help at all. With leaf-bare coming on soon, she had been making sure the herbs she had been gathering had been from healthy plants, but she couldn't help noting between the heat of leaf-fall and the fact that it was leaf-fall, many of the plants were starting to dry up and approaching their dormant stage. She sighed softly to herself when she heard Moosestar's call. With Wrentalon's help, she had managed to finish what she had aimed and wanted to before the Gathering and shook the herb dust from her fur when she heard Moosestar's call.
Taking one last look around her den, she turned and padded out of her den to prepare to joining the meeting.
Sunstrike:
Sunstrike sat, quietly letting her kin gather around the highrock. Tonight was the gathering and everyone was vying to go. She had enjoyed the last one - even with the standoffishness of the clans towards each other and the bone-chilling discovery of Riverclan. Perhaps this moon would be more peaceful. If it was, she still didn't want to go. Let her cousins go. She was tired.
Gingerthrash:
Gingerthrash slept peacefully, his old bones aching from the previous days worth of doing... well... nothing. But it was a hard earned nothing! He had helped build this clan from the ground up, he'll have you know! So when the clan leader calls a meeting, he has a right to sleep through summons he cares nothing for! It's common sense.

Spawn of flame, Thunder-struck, from the ashes I rise

An exotic form slipped form the warrior's den at the call of Moosestar, not particularly feeling sociable come this Gathering night. When she heard Greypebble's called to attend, she couldn't help but flash him a grimace. He wasn't entirely susceptible to cross-clan banter either, but at least she wouldn't be attending, which meant she had to busy herself in the meantime.
