Cypressfall jumped a bit, as a young voice suddenly spoke up from beside him. Turning his head, so he could look at the cat with his right eye- the only one that works- Cypressfall was surprised to see Meadowpaw. He'd only met the young she-cat a paw full of times, but he was quite surprised to see her here. Had he just not noticed her? no Meadowpaw had not been here until just moments ago, he was sure of it. A slight blush came to the young medecine cat's face, Meadowpaw wanted to be taught by him? Cypressfall felt so surprised, that it took him a minute to realize that Owlstar was standing in front of him.
Snapping his head up, the dark grey tabby tom gulped. Owlstar looked serious, would he allow this? Cypressfall was in so much trouble. Feeling Meadowpaw beside him and the respect she seemed to feel for him, the smaller medecine cat raised his odd eyes up, to look into his leder's eyes.
Cypressfall sat there, stuned at his leader's words. Was he really going to.... let him help Terraclan? the young tom could not believe what he was hearing. As Owlstar turned, to head back to the stump, Cypressfall laid his ears tight against his head and bowed his head deeply, "Thank you Owlstar", the dark grey tabby tom said, very gratefully. As he watched Owlstar retreating, his eyes moved over to look at Meadowpaw. Cypressfall gave her a smile, there was even a glint in his odd eyes. He had an apprentice.
Taking his eyes off Meadowpaw, the tom looked to the newly appointed Terraclan deputy. Risingstorm seemed to really like the idea of him coming and helping Terraclan, Cypressfall was glad to have the deputy on his side. Looking up, the young medecine cat gazed up at Birchstar. It was the Terraclan leader's choice now, she'd have the last say.
Turning back, Cypressfall looked to Maplesong. He looked into his bestfriends face, it would probably be a while until they could talk to each other again. Taking a step towards Maplesong, he leaned over and gave her a nip on the ear, "Don't look so down, Maplesong", he said with a chuckle. "It's not like, we won't see each other at all anymore. Just stop by when you get lonely", Cypressfall said teasingly, giving her shoulder a nudge.

Silvermist | 40 Moons | Starclan Warrior | Deceased | Gathering | Mentions: Everyone, Meadowpaw (D), Cypressfall (D), Open!

Silvermist had observed the gathering from afar, making sure the peace he had wanted was kept. He was pleased that the clans interacted and seemed to get along, glad that Terraclan now had a new leader who seemed fair and just. He stayed in the unknown, silently watching until he saw that the final news were given. When the cats below still lingered, he thought it a good idea to encourage them to go home. He thought for a bit to think of a good thing to say, then came up with something and made himself visible to the clan cats. He looked upon them with his glittering blue eyes, the shine in his black fur making him look like the night in cat form. He stood in the middle of the clearing to gather as much attention as possible.

"Cats of the Lake! You have successfully finished your first gathering. Starclan is proud of you and we encourage you to hold peaceful meetings like these monthly. We honour Cypressfall for keeping true to the medicine cat code and healing any cat regardless of clan. Good luck to you all and safe travels to your camps." The Starclan tom looked around at the cats gathered, then stood up a little taller, a little stiffer. He vanished from all cats but Cypressfall and Meadowpaw. "But in this time of joy, keep in mind that a leaf in leaf fall blows away." He warned, his tone suddenly dark and ominous. And with that, the Starclan warrior was gone for the medicine cats too.

Cypressfall blushed a bit, at Meadowpaw's kind words. Even kittypets spoke of them? What he'd done was not that great. The medicine cat was about to answer, but broke off, as the air suddenly seemed to change. Looking around, the dark grey tabby tom wondered if he'd missed something. Only to turn and see the glittering shape of a cat, Starclan. Everyone seemed to look at him, could they all see him? As Cypressfall watched, he noticed that he recognised the starry cat. It was Silvermist, the young medecine cat had seen the Starclan cat before.
He watched in silence, as the old tom spoke. Silvermist was right, it was great that the gathering had progress without any big problems. He stiffened a bit, as Silvermist suddenly spoke of Cypressfall. His ears grew hot, he hated this much attention. Shifting his odd eyed gaze, Cypressfall looked down to.... to his apprentice. Meadowpaw looked completely in awe, it must be her first time seeing a Starclan cat. The tom smiled, the first time always felt special.
A Silvermist started to shimmer a bit, Cypressfall released that he'd disappeared for all other cats, but them. Cypressfall eyes set, as the Starclan tom's words rang through the air. Even after Silvermist vanished completely, his words rang in Cypressfall's ears, 'But in this time of joy, keep in mind that a leaf in leaf fall blows away'. What did this mean? Well, time past like leafs blown away by a strong gust, did he mean that this time of peace would be fleeting? What was to come?
These thoughts must've taken quite a bit, because he almost jumped a bit, as Meadowpaw suddenly spoke up. Looking over to her, it took the medicine cat a good heartbeat, until he processed her words. Talk with the leaders?Was she thinking of...?
"Wait!", Cypressfall's words, came out a bit harder then intended. He stepped forward and blocked Meadowpaw a bit from the leaders, "Not yet", he said, his words normal now. "We first talk, think, and discuss the prophecy's, before telling leaders or any other cat", Cypressfall told her. "It would only confuse and put cats on edge, if we told every cat always of our prophecy's immediately", the dark grey tabby tom, told the younger she-cat. A moment later, he realized that this was the first time he was teaching his apprentice something.
Turning around, to look at Owlstar and Birchstar, he gave them a reassuring smile, "It's alright, we will take care of everything", his voice was that of a medicine cat, not to be questioned. Turning more to Owlstar, he informed the leader, "I'll head back to camp with Aetherclan, I want to talk with Rubynose and grab a few herbs. We have extra and I don't know how well stocked Terraclan is". Turning back to Meadowpaw, he said, "Why don't you come with me? You can help with the herbs, if you want".

"Let's head back then", Cypressfall said, nodding his head to the leaders. "Don't worry", the young medecine cat said, reaching over with his paw and ruffeling the his apprentice's head, he gave her a smile. "Being an apprentice, means learning, so don't be embarrassed", the dark grey tabby tom added, remembering some things his mentor had taught him.
Looking to the nearest Aetherclan warrior, the medicine cat gave them a nod. Time to head back. "I do believe that this ends the gathering", Cypressfall said, looking to Owlstar and briefly nodding his head to the leader, the tom turned back to the rest of the cats. "I think it's time to head back"", it was directed at all the cats around him. Turning back to the leaders, he dipped his head to them, "I'll start leading the clan back, so that you can talk some more", Cypressfall informed his leader. Looking to Birchstar he added, "We'll only be a short while", indicating Meadowpaw, with his ear.
Turning on his heels, Cypressfall started to lead Aetherclan back to camp.

And that ends the gathering, your cats can still say goodbye and the like, but let's head back to the respective boards. Apologies, that the gathering dragged out so long
