Tonight's Gathering is shrouded in an ethereal calm, twilight long gone as the full moon bathes the clearing in a silver glow. Of course, Forestshade can't see it, but she can sense the air of silence as ShadowClan is the first to appear in the clearing, the only sound being the leaves gently dancing in the wind. Patchwork paws slip easily onto the well-worn grass, speckled light and dark from the shadows above. As the creatures of the night disappear, fleeing from the pack of cats that now inhabit the area, the clan of the shadows takes their place at Fourtrees under a new leader.
The lead warrior stands at Smogstar's flank, a soft breath escaping her as she shakes out her pelt. "At least tonight's cool," She comments lowly, grateful for a break from the sweltering heat. She can hear the other clans arriving, their approach breaking the silence that had engulfed the clearing. Their scents mingle, causing the torbie's snout to wrinkle, and she angles her muzzle towards @THORNPAW 's ear. "Go on, go find some apprentices to talk to. It'll do ya good." With that, she departs from the mass of ShadowClan cats and prowls near the edge, closer to the Great Rock so she can find a decent seat.
Her head is lifted high, her presence commanding attention. With Chilledstar gone, she won't make ShadowClan look weak. Instead, she looks more assured than ever as she sits beneath one of the massive oak trees and waits to be approached by perhaps the other clans' lead warriors. Her ears prick, listening intently for the sound of pawsteps closing in, unbothered by any tension that may begin to gather here. If anyone dares to try anything tonight, perhaps she'll just have to repeat what her peer had done the moon prior. Her claws won't mind the stains.
