***A Story written by Ivorytail!! (DarkKokiri)***
CHAPTER 1
Ivorytail's dreams were clouded with regrets and dreams of
the past. And of her friend, Sparrowheart.
Ivorypaw was staring at the stream from the small cavern
that was carved out by the ancient flood many seasons ago.
She was waiting for her friend, Sparrowpaw, of FireClan.
She met the young apprentice on the night of a gathering,
they almost instantly became the best of friends. As she
sat in the cavern, she saw a dark gray shape dash beside the
river. Ivorypaw envied his agility and swiftness. She wasn't
talented like him; but he always told her that every cat was
granted something special in all of their hearts, she hadn't
found it yet.. "Ivy?" she heard a faint whisper. Her leader
didn't know that she befriended a tom from a different Clan.
"Sparr! I'm over here! In the cavern." The two apprentices
had came up with nick names so that none of their clan
mates suspected anything.
"Here," Sparrowpaw dropped a plump rabbit a mouse length
from her pink nose. The scent wafted into her mouth and
her eyes lit up with hunger. Then Ivorypaw remember that
she had brought a fish for him. They exchanged prey and
ate silently. "Wow, this is great! I've never had a fish!" He
mumbled as he gulped down his last bite of fish. "Yeah,
and rabbits aren't half bad." Ivorypaw said swiping her
tongue across her jaws.
"So..." Ivorypaw began shyly. "Tonight's the gathering of
Sacred Warriors. All will join in a three day truce. It-it is said
to bring your friends." Ivorypaw still knew it wasn't right to
have friends from different clans, it is said one day you could
meet them in battle.
"So, I hope to see you at the Five Ponds of Sacred Warriors."
Before she could get a word in he darted off, his long dark, pelt
blowing in the wind of the moors. She stared down at the
stream, disappointed.
As she came back into camp, the moon was rising, turning
the sky a light purple. The queens gathered with their mates
and the two other apprentices, Scarletpaw and Stonepaw,
met their muzzles together. Ivorypaw had been alone as
she watched her leader, Riverstar, group up the Clan. Her
mate, Shadowscar, stood beside her. Ivorypaw remembered
what Lostfoot, a Streamclan elder had told her "The first
night of this gathering is to gather all the cats in the forest
in a three night truce and meet with StarClan.The following
night is to gather friends and kin, showing our appreciation.
The third night is to honor the deceased, who have kept the
memeory of the Clans alive in the forest."
This was Ivorypaw's first time at one of these gatherings,
they where only on the first full moon
of Leaf-fall. She was trotting along with her clan,
StreamClan, as they neared the Five Pools of Sacred
Warriors, they stopped. As she could see all the Clans
were here now. She saw FireClan, Sparrowpaw's clan,
LeafClan, and MoonClan. All four Leaders stood
at the rocks that towered over each individual pool.
Yet Ivorypaw wondered why there was a fifth pond.
In the Middle was the Great Rock. StarClan would join this
gathering at MoonHigh. She ached to go see Sparrowpaw,
but she was not allowed to until after StarClan had come
and given the message. She was very excited, They would
see the last leaders of the forest soon.
The leaders silenced the noisy crowd of cats as the Moon
rose high in the sky. StarClan were on their way. At once
every cat of the forest gasped. The stars were falling down
to the earth, thousands did not land in this forest. She
wondered, could their be other clans than just these four?
She knew the world did not end at this forest, but how far
did it go? Four giant stars fell to the Great Rock, they
glittered a transparent blue and the lights reflected on the
faces of the cats. She saw the leaders that lived in the
forest once. There, she reconized Wingstar, who was leader
when she was just a kit. Wingstar looked beautiful, her
white pelt had a blue tint and her wings were huge with the
great snow's color. The other leaders stood there with
Wingstar, they each faced the pool of their clans.
Kits jumped with excitment as they saw StarClan for the
first time. But not every cat joined them; only the past clan
of seasons before did. Silverstar, past leader of FireClan
spoke first. Her voice was clear and echoed through the
vast forest. "Here we gather tonight to Honor the cats who
keep the forest alive with their bravery. Present leaders of
the Sacred Clans, we hope to keep a three night truce.
Tonight's truce is of Trust. Gather together for the peace."
Ivorypaw shivered, should she
meet with Sparrowpaw? "May they be of StarClan, your
own Clan, or an opposing Clan, we share this night together."
