Home at last

[Lonestar]

Lonestar had a very long journey from her journey to getting her name and then comming back home. She took her time walking through her territory. wow, how nice was it to call it "her" territory. Before she hit the camp she padded over to where her leader was burried and she said a few words and then shed a tear then kept on walking home. when she was walking home she had so much on her mind. She then also had to choose a deputy and also to make orders and also to get apprentices mentors and kit to apprentices. She was going to be one busy cat! She could already feel the stress coming. Once she hit then enterance of the cmap she stopped and thought. Just a few days ago she was a kit here, to an apprentice, to warrior and then deputy..now as leader. She then sat down at the enteracne and went lost in thoight about what happend in the past moons of being young again.

((Mind if Pantherpaw comes in? ^^))

It was a warm day. There was a fresh breeze in the air that filled the camp with the scent of the river, which Pantherpaw could hear roaring through the trees. Pantherpaw stood just outside of the apprentice's den, inhaling the cool scent of the breeze and the crispness of a Growing Season morning. Pantherpaw rose to his paws, stretching and making his pitch black pelt ripple in the pre-dawn light.

Then, a new scent came to Pantherpaw. It was the scent of a cat, one familiar to Pantherpaw, as were the scents of all of his Clan-mates. Pantherpaw pricked his ears in curiosity, then rose to his paws. It was Loneheart- Lonestar now, just padding into the camp entrance. She looked rather tired, and Pantherpaw remembered that she was probably just returning from the Stardust Stone, where she would have been accepted by StardustClan as their new leader.

He purred to himself then trotted across the camp, pausing before the black she-cat. "Lonestar!" Pantherpaw meowed, dipping his head in respect. "You're back!"

A gentle breeze washed over the sleekly neat pelt of a dark calico she-cat. She sat with narrowed eyes in front of the warriors den, relaxing as she not only waited for the next patrol that she was assigned on to go out, but also for MysticClan's new leader. Her ears were pricked and twitched at every sound, though most brought no interest to her. That was until she picked up the sound of Pantherpaw's voice, meowing exactly what she had been waiting to hear. Nightwing got up swiftly to her paws and trotted over to the two cats, dipping her head in greeting. "Did everything go alright, Lonehea-" She caught herself before saying the new leader's warrior name. "-Lonestar?" Despite her emotionless words, her green eyes glimmered with curiosity, and her tail swayed back and forth with interest.

[Lonestar]

Lonestar was just about to go into her den and rest when she was greeeted by an apprentice. Pantherpaw. She gave a purr and mewed, "Hello pantherpaw, yes I am back, finally! Who knew that getting their nine lives was so much work!" She then padded into the camp feeling the warm sun on her dark fur.

She was then also greeted by her warrior Nightwing. "Yes it is Lonestar now." she mewed. How nice it was to be home again. The greetings she is getting from her clan. She then looked `around camp and asked, "Where is everyone?" She scanned the camp with her blue eyes and noticed that it was rather quiet. Not typical for a camp to be but since it was just morning she could understand why.

[Cloudedstar]

"Sleeping, I guess," Pantherpaw answered with a shrug. "A few went out to take the morning patrol." He lifted his head, his blue eyes glimmering. "So...what happens now?" He asked curiously, his tail flicking in interest. "Are the new apprentices going to get mentors? Who's going to be the new deputy?" Pantherpaw didn't mean to be so demanding, but his excitement got the best of him. It was exciting to him that the Clan had a new leader- he had not known the old one paticularly well, and her passing wasn't as bad for him.

[Lonestar]

So many questions! she yelled in her head. She stood their with a smile on her face and mewed, "I really dont know yet love. I have many cats to choose from I just have to feel what cat will be right for the spot. I pick my mentors differently then our former leader had done."

[Flamefur]

Flamefur emerged from the the light bracken to see Lonestar, the new Clan leader. He had been hunting and caught a plump mouse for when she got back. His ginger fur rippled and emerald eyes brightened as he saw her. Other cats were talking to her and he couldn't help but purr in amusement. The young warrior padded towards her and dropped the mouse at her paws.

"Hello Lonestar! I caught this for you when I went hunting." The ginger tom flushed with embarrassment, hoping she was hungry. "It's great that you're back. We all missed you." the warmth in his gaze was caring and loyal, as he was to his Clan. "I hope there were no big problems on your trip!" Flamefur stepped back so the other cats could come around, too, because he knew that just about half the Clan was dying to ask her questions. He waited calmly for her to reply, or even twitch a whisker.

[Cloudedstar]

Pantherpaw eyed the piece of prey that Flamefur had caught, and felt a twinge of guilt that he hadn't been as thoughtful as he had. "I'll tell the rest of the Clan you're back!" Pantherpaw volunteered, his blue eyes glimmering. He turned and ran, a spray of earth rising into the air from beneath his paws as he took off towards the nearest dens.

[Lonestar]

Lonestar was ready to tune out the apprentice, but not in a mean way. She was just tiered and was just about to go into her den when she saw flamefur padd up to her welcoming her home. She gave a purr of tanks and saw the piece of food he had given her. She then sat down and looked at her warrior and mewed, "You really didnt have to do that for me.." Yet she took it to be nice.

She then saw the bit of sadness in Pantherpaw's eyes when Flamefur had givine her food. She was just about to open her mouth when the apprentice told her that she was going to announce that she was here to the rest of the clan. She saw the apprentice race off and she totally went blank. She stopped thinking about anything that was going on and who was around her. She then looked down at her food and gave a quiet sigh not saying a word.

[Flamefur]

Flamefur watched as his Clan leader pawed the piece of prey and caught Pantherpaw's unseasy, regretful glance. It's okay, he wanted to assure the sad apprentice. It's just a mouse, and you could always catch her something later! The ginger tom intently heard her say something about him not having to bring her something but the young warrior chuckled, smiling in a cat-ish way.

Flamefur blinked excitedly, eyes bright with laughter. "It's fine, Lonestar. Really. The mouse was half asleep anyways..." the ginger tom chuckled, knowing that he wasn't really getting anywhere. "It's fine. You should rest. You look as if you're asleep on your paws!" His pale yellow and orange pelt rippled cheerfully and he purred with amusement at himself. "It's good to have you back." Flamefur blinked warmly and dipped his head with respect for the new leader, eyes blaring fiercely. If anything had happened to her he'd rip the pelt off of- his thoughts broke off as he realized he must have started glaring in to thin air. "Never mind." he chuckled, sorry to have worried his clan mates.

[Lonestar]

Lonestar looked at her warrior and then back at the mouse and mewed, "Thankyou still its nice to have food for one..finally..". She then picked up the animal and padded into her den without a word. She set the vole on the floor away from her. Going to save it for later. She then curled up in the bakc of her den and just listened to the cats outside talking away. In no time she let her eyes close and fell into a deep sleep.

[Flamefur]

Flamefur blinked and nodded. "You're welcome." He saw the exhaustion hanging in Lonestar's eyes. The pretty black she-cat turned and went to her den, leaving the ginger tom standing alone in the center of the clearing. She must be tired from the journey. the young warrior turned and padded calmly and quietly towards the warriors den, his own eyelids heavy and paws numb. Flamefur loped in to the den and curled up in some moss at the corner, closing his eyes and resting his head on his paws.

[Lonestar]

Lonestar wasnt asleep for long really. She already had to much on her mind. Also an empty stomach. When your stomach is empty and your mind is full its hard to really get some rest. She then opened her blue eyes and looked out her den. She then thought about pntherpaw and knew it waws time for a mentor.

She then got up and padded out of her den seeing that Flamefur was already resting. Their is prey to hunt you know, you wanna go make yourself useful and maybe go get somer more prey? Just a thought. she said in her head looking at flamefur. She then hopped onto the Ancient Stone and mewed, "Let all cat old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Ancient Rock for a clan meeting."

[Flamefur]

Flamefur, awakened from his sunhigh rest, saw Lonestar look at him in a scolding way and he felt embarrassed. The ginger warrior decided to go hunting after the ceremony and make himself useful. Nice way to impress your leader, mouse brain! he blinked grimly, talking to himself in his head. Flamefur looked at her, his eyes glinting with apology.

He leaped to his paws and bounded towards the Ancient Stone when he heard Lonestar call for a Clan meeting. He wondered what the ceremony could be for, because there were still several needed rankings in the Clan plus apprentices that needed mentors. The ginger tom, curious as to what was happening, sat down near the Ancient Stone and looked expectantly up at Lonestar.

[Hamster]

Eagletalon stared at the river. Something was bound to come, sometime or another. A plant moved. Wait, no, plants couldn't move...it was a fish!
He quickly plunged a paw into the water and scooped up the fish. It flopped on the ground--why did all fishes have to do that, it was disgusting--for a couple minutes and lay still. When he bent down to pick it up, he heard Lonestar yowl out to the clan, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Ancient Rock for a clan meeting!"
He quickly picked up the fish in his jaws and ran toward the camp. Throwing the fish into the stone bowl, he trotted to the Ancient Rock.
Phew, I'm not late, he thought to himself as he settled down to catch his breath.
