Chapter 2
All eyes were on the grey tom. He was a little thin, with white tipped ears, a muscular build, and a concentrated gaze. Firestar was the first to speak up. "And who might you be?" He questioned the stranger. The tom looked up at the leader. "Please hear my story before I give my name, for it may cause an uproar." Firstar glanced at the three leaders. They all nodded simultaneously but had suspicious glares. The mysterious grey tom walked through the crowd of cats not making any eye contact. He climbed up the tree with ease and sat on a branch near Firestar's.
"Cats of all clans! Hear my story but do not give us pity only respect." The grey tom howled. "I have a clan, we follow the warrior code and believe in Starclan! We have a leader, a deputy, and a medicine cat." Murmurs of surprise were everywhere. "It has been hard for us, we're always moving from one territory to another trying to find a home, then about a moon ago, our medicine cat Frostheart, had a dream and was visited by four cats with stars in their fur. A blue grey she cat named Bluestar, A black and white tome with a long tail named Tallstar, a huge light colored tabby with a crooked jaw named Crookedstar, and a small grey and white tom named Runningnose. They told her that by a lake was inhabited by four clans, they said that if we could make it in time there would be a strip of territory meant for us. I have been listening to your speech." He turned to Firestar, "And I think that territory is just what we need. Please let us move to that territory, you don't have to worry about the size or where we'll put our camp, and it's the perfect time for moving in for us. We are not called Iceclan for nothing."
Firestar and the other leaders looked at each other then Onestar spoke up. "It seems to me you know so much about us clans, but how?" The grey tom only shook his head. "I can only tell you in due time." He replied. Mistystar stood up. "Seeing as their medicine cat was visited by cats who died long ago and gave us perfect descriptions of them, I think we can trust him with the new strip of territory, it would also stop the other clans as well as mine to stop bickering over it." Shadowclan's leader, Blackstar rose up to. "I think it would be interesting to see how this clan 'Iceclan' will survive through leaf bare, anyway tell us your name warrior." The tom paused and then looked like he made a mental to a mental question. "I am Fogstar, leader of Iceclan." Firestar spoke up. "I am Firestar leader of Thunderclan, Mistystar is leader of Riverclan, Blackstar is leader of Shadowclan, and Onestar leader of Windclan." Firestar seemed to remember something. "I must ask are you the ones that have been in our territories?" Fogstar had an apologetic look in his eyes. "Yes that was us, but I assure you we did not steal any prey, we hunted outside the lake grounds and we we're wandering around to see where the boundaries were." Firestar nodded, "None of us has scented any blood of prey that wasn't killed by our warriors, I am impressed you though so far ahead by the way, where is your clan."
The tom looked towards the bush he came from. "Doing what we do best, hide." Then he said. "Iceclan come towards the clans and show them your not afraid." Then a whole cluster of cats we're in the clearing, they all had different colored pelts with shone in the moonlight. "Let me introduce Iceclans current warriors, deputy and medicine cat." Said Fogstar proudly
. "Breezeheart, Gustfur, Branchclaw, Petaltail, Sunfur, Ravenwing, Skunkstripe, Ivorysong, Nightstrike, Firegaze, Addertail, Foxnight, Runningblaze and Brightlight. My deputy Leafstorm," Fogstar gestured towards a large tom with a brown and orange blended pelt and light green eyes. "And my medicine cat, Frostheart." The long furred she-cat with a black coat and bright white chest nodded. "We have apprentices and queens as well as elders but they are at the temporary camp. Goodbye and thank you for giving us the territory, and may Starclan light your path through Leaf bare."
And with that the new clan headed out of the island, and towards their new home. The other leaders we're going to have a talk to their clans privately back at their own camps, with a final dismissal, the gathering ended.
