It's Only The Beginning

The dusty brown tabby made his way onto the HighBranch in only a couple of leaps. He let out a yowl that made all of the cats below perk their ears and turn there heads. The cats gathered in the forest clearing gazed up at the tom. Runningstar stood proudly, his claws gripping the tree's bark and the dawn sunlight making his pale green eyes seem brighter. The cats below were so silent as they waited for the leader to speak, the sound of the golden and amber leaves falling around them could be heard.
"All of you have come to help build a new clan. One made of swift, clever, and silent cats. We can stand together and be loyal to each other; we can create a clan that is strong. I, Runningstar, would like to start this new journey by having a joining ceremony for everyone," the brown tabby meowed, his gaze flickering from cat to cat. "First, my deputy will be chosen."
Runningstar's gaze landed on a black tom. "Darkshadow. You are strong and loyal, you will be the deputy," he said. The jet black tom dipped his head, then got to his paws and walked over to the HighBranch. He sat below the branch, his leader remaining above him. "Darkshadow! Darkshadow!" the other cats chanted.
"Every clan needs a medicine cat," Runningstar began, looking down at a blue-grey she-cat, "Bluemoon will be ours. She is wise and good with herbs." The she-cat's amber eyes had a flash of pride in them as she stood up and went to go sit next to Darkshadow. The cats cheered, "Bluemoon! Bluemoon!"
Runningstar could feel the crisp leaf-fall air growing warmer as the sun rose. "Now, I must announce our warriors. I trust all of you to be loyal and help me build this clan to be strong. Our warriors are Jadeshine, Sparrowmark, Nightbird, Foxleap, Grayspots, Thunderstorm, Justicefire and Galestorm." All the non-warriors cheered their names.
"Next are the cats who will train to become warriors of the new clan, the apprentices. They are Leafpaw, Crescentpaw, Firepaw, Rosepaw, Redpaw, Berrypaw, Antpaw, Hollypaw, Ivypaw, Willowpaw, and Littlepaw," the leader announced. "Every apprentice needs a mentor. Crescentpaw, you will be mentored by Foxleap. Firepaw, your mentor is Sparrowmark. Willowpaw will be mentored by Nightbird. Grayspots, you will be Rosepaw's mentor. Thunderstorm, you will mentor Redpaw. Hollypaw's mentor will be Galestorm," Runningstar said, looking at each cat as he said their name. "Justicefire will mentor Ivypaw. Berrypaw will be mentored by Jadeshine. Darkshadow will mentor Antpaw. I will be Leafpaw's mentor. Littlepaw's mentor will be-," the brown tabby was cut off by another voice.
The voice belonged to the small pale ginger she-cat, Littlepaw. "Um...Runningstar...before you give me a mentor, I think I should say it's impossible for me to be a useful warrior. It wouldn't make much since to train to be a warrior when I wouldn't be able to do anything right...you need all four of your legs for that. Maybe I should just leave," she mewed, sounding a bit nervous. Runningstar's eyes met the small she-cat's and he thought a moment. "I'm sure there is some way for you to be of use to the new clan...," the mumbled, speaking out loud. Suddenly, it hit him. "Medicine cat apprentice..."
"Medicine cat apprentice," he repeated, this time more loudly. "That could be perfect for you, Littlepaw." Littlpaw's gold-green eyes brightened and she nodded. "Then Littlepaw will be mentored by Bluemoon," Runningstar said happily. The apprentices went to touch noses with their mentors, the leader jumping off the HighBranch to touch noses with Leafpaw. The cats chanted the apprentices' names.
Everyone then rushed back to the place where they were sitting, Runningstar leaped back onto the HighBranch and Littlepaw sat next to Bluemoon. "Finally, we have a queen joining us, Tawnybird. There is also Flickerkit, who will be taken care of by Tawnybird because she has no mother," he continued, glancing at the tortoiseshell she-cat and the ginger kit. "Tawnybird! Flickerkit! Tawnybird! Flickerkit!" the cats cheered.
The leader smiled with satisfaction as he looked down at the cats. "I welcome you all as the first cats of our new clan! Together we are RunningClan!" the brown tom called out, the cats cheering with excitement. The sun was fully in the sky now, its amber rays matching the colors of the leaves of leaf-fall. The bright light was shining on the faces of RunningClan's first cats.
This clan seems strong already, Runningstar thought. He was bursting with excitement, too. He leaped off of the HighBranch, dissmissing the meeting. Sitting near the entrance to his den, his pale green gaze looked at every cat. And it's only the beginning...


(That took a while, but I likes it. :D Anyway, I want to make posts more fun to read by making them descriptive and junk. *yawn* Going to bed now though...happy role playing.)
