#s://i~ibb~co/N7bQM4C/bright~jpg A Gathering. Brightpaw heard it explained each time the full moon came creeping into the sky, usually by a warrior or apprentice who would get to go while she was made to stay back with cats far younger than her. Three clans, meeting under the same sky. Talking. Just talking. So much talking, and then there'd be more. It sounded boring when described like that, just talking, but every moon she was swept up in the same excitement as every other apprentice, and every moon she longed to be invited. Her mentor explained it once, why Littlestar never let her go. She was too new to clan life. Too unadjusted to their practices. It would be dangerous for her to go, less someone got upset at her. She heard what her mentor was really saying: Brightpaw was at risk for making herself look dumb, and PrairieClan couldn't look dumb. She resented him for it. But now, she was allowed at a Gathering, and any resentment she had for her mentor faded away as she looked down at the gathered cats with wide eyes matching her name. "Ready, kid?" Her mentor said, bumping his shoulder into hers. Brightpaw stumbled forward, not ready at all, and her mentor laughed. PrairieClan descended into the Gathering like a wave of flowers blooming over the fields. Brightpaw did her best to keep up, slowed by shorter legs and smaller paws than the rest of her clan, but eventually found herself among the strange scents of MistClan and RidgeClan. She looked around, clueless as to where to start, until she locked eyes with an apprentice just as small as her. Doing her best to channel some of Darkpaw's confidence, Brightpaw strutted over to the silvery she-cat. "Hello," she said, wondering if this cat was from RidgeClan or MistClan. "I am PrairieClan." A pause. "No, I'm Brightpaw. I'm from PrairieClan. Is this your first Gathering? This is my first." |

Gatherings, not something Frostpaw was fond of as there was too much cats there all crowded and socializing with one another and it was something that Frostpaw struggled with, and yet of course she had to attend due to her being the medicine cat in training so she just dealt with it and put on a brave face. Of course as Ridgeclan gathered into the clearing her eyes darkened slightly as she scanned the clearing before they locked with that of another apprentice and she let a soft sight out as the other made their way over towards her and made an attempt to introduce themselves which made a soft chuckle come from her maw as amusement fluttered in her bi-colored eyes. "Hello there, I am Frostpaw from Ridgeclan, and...no it's not" she said gently while she allowed a slight strained smile pry onto her lips before her tail thumped on the ground slightly and she tilted her head curiously at Brightpaw. "Nervous to be here?" she would ask the other as she placed an awkward yet friendly front up. Might as well do a little chatter with others before the leaders made their announcements. |

#s://i~ibb~co/N7bQM4C/bright~jpg RidgeClan! ...Brightpaw knew nothing about RidgeClan, just as she knew nothing about MistClan, except that neither clan was PrairieClan. Once, Darkpaw talked about RidgeClan and MistClan not liking each other, but she wasn't sure what he meant by that. Would this cat know? She seemed young. Younger than Darkpaw. Maybe she shouldn't ask. "Hello Frostpaw from RidgeClan," Brightpaw said. "Nervous? Yes." Then, quickly, she said, "No, I mean no. Not nervous." She wasn't. She maybe didn't know exactly what was expected of her here, and yes, maybe it was hard without Darkpaw next to her, but she wasn't nervous. Just... unsure. Was that any better than nervous? "Not nervous, just new. What do you do at Gatherings?" Make friends, her mentor had said. Would this cat be her friend? |
