Chapter 21
As Blackstar lead the way to the gathering, Wolfsong couldn't conceal his excitement at hoping to see Stardream again. He padded beside Angelfeather close to the rear of the group as Blackstar padded through Riverclan, as he had learned earlier, territory. They meet up with a Riverclan patrol.
Tawnypelt, the cat that had showed them the warriors den, had told Wolfsong about Leopardstar, leader of Riverclan. Wolfsong shook his head, he wouldn't have wanted to live in Riverclan. He is more used to hunting in a forest instead of swimming for his food.
Wolfsong sighed, since he had meet Stardream a few days after the Shadowclan battle, he has been missing her. He wished he could somehow know if she was coming to the gathering or not.
"You miss Stardream, don't you," Angelfeather asked. "Well yeah," Wolfsong mewed, his voice dropped to a low whisper as he added, "I love her."
"We've always known you loved Stardream," Angelfeather mewed, her voice low as well, "but it's forbidden, now that we are in different clans." "I know, but I wish there was some way to make this work," Wolfsong sighed, "if only Echostar where here, she would know what to do."
"I know, but like I said before, we can't keep clinging onto the faith that Echostar escaped," Angelfeather meowed. "I know Stardream still does," Wolfsong meowed.
Angelfeather sighed and padded on ahead. Wolfsong gazed over the water in time to see a clan make its way across the tree bridge Tawnypelt told him about. He opened his jaws to drink in the scent that told him it was Thunderclan.
Anticipated, Wolfsong hurried to catch up with Angelfeather as Blackstar lead the way to the tree bridge. Leopardstar had just crossed over, and Wolfsong smelled the oddly familiar scent of Windclan already over the bridge. Shadowclan where last to arrive.
Blackstar stopped at the tree bridge and one by one his clanmates leapt onto the tree bridge and padded across. When it was Wolfsong's turn, he hesitated.
"Come on, we'll all die of old age by the time you get across," Angelfeather snapped. Wolfsong hissed but leapt onto the bridge and padded lightly across, concentrating on keeping his balance. He made it across and turned to wait for Angelfeather.
Blackstar crossed last and instantly went to the tree in the middle of the clearing. Wolfsong instantly glanced around hoping to find Stardream.
Instead a familiar yet shockingly, scent rose around him. Angelfeather widened her eyes and Wolfsong guessed she had smelled the same scent.
Blackstar was already in the tree, Leopardstar right next to him and Firestar in the fork between the branch and the tree, Onestar was on the branch above them.
Wolfsong tried to find where the scent was coming from but he lost it in the crowd. "Let the gathering begin," Blackstar yowled. Unable to do anything else, Wolfsong and Angelfeather padded forward and sat down next to Tawnypelt. "Who will speak first?" Onestar asked,
Wolfsong had learned all the leaders names from Tawnypelt. "I will," Blackstar meowed, "we have two new warriors in our clan that we found in our territory, they are known as Wolfsong and Angelfeather." The cats around them turned to look at Wolfsong and Angelfeather.
"Other then that, I have nothing else to report," Blackstar added.
"I'll speak next," Firestar meowed, "we have four new warriors in our clan and two new apprentices." "Windpaw has gained her warrior name and will be known as Windsong," Firestar went on, "we also found two cats on our territory and invited them to stay in our clan."
Wolfsong knew who he was talking about a few heartbeats before he said it. "They are known as Stardream and Eaglewing," Firestar mewed.
But his next words took Wolfsong completly by surprise. "We have also meet another cat in almost the same way we meet Stardream and Eaglewing," Firestar meowed.
Wolfsong pricked his ears, intent on learning more. "She was found on our territory not long ago, and has insisted on keeping her original name," Firestar meowed, glancing down at his clan.
Wolfsong widened his eyes. Who could this cat be? He thought.
Then his mouth dropped all the way to the ground as Firestar meowed, "our fourth newest warrior, who has decided to keep her name, is known as Echostar."
