Lo, and the clouds rolled in,
their bellies full of anger and bluster
Their streaks of lightening stabbing the sky,
And so the creature Fire was born

[``Constantine]

The night of the gathering was, as always, lit by the brilliance of the full moon. The sky was clear of clouds, as good an omen as any where the FireClan leader was concerned. The FireClan medicine cat, Sunpool, had yet to foretell of any trouble.
The pretty medicine cat had chosen a profession that was almost a shame. She was gorgeous, and many of the toms were half in love with her. The other half were totally smitten.

The ginger tom sorted lightly, and flicked his ears. He himself wasn't exempt from this such adoration, but at least he was subtle about it.
It was also a good thing that he was leader. It would be very unseemly for a leader and a medicine cat to have kits together; why, the wrath of StarClan might be so great that the entire clan of the Fire might be eradicated. That was not something that Thunderstar wanted for his clan.

Crouched where he was, Thunderstar could see the entire gathering hollow. Only Lionstar of the clan of the Sea has arrived yet, and this was a fortunate thing. Thunderstar actually, genuinely liked the golden tom that led the other clan; an odd occurance, as they were neighbors. Or mayhaps not so odd. Their cordial relationship might have been helped by the fact that the shared borders.
Well, whatever the case, it would be nice to talk with Lionstar, if only for a moment.

The brilliant ginger tom stoo up, and slashed his tail, the signal to move. The FireClan advance was much like that off a well-trained army, the cats creeping in rows of threes and fours, heads held high, tails extended, the muscles flexing 'neath the pelts as only cats could move.
It was a tactic that had intimidated others before; the sight of the well-controled, dileberately army of battle-hardened felines was a breath-taking sight to behold.

It was in no time that they were in the gathering hollow, the cats of FireClan mingling with those of SeaClan, generous and cordial greetings exchanged as such as only could be said on the night of the full moon, when the truce was in effect.
Thunderstar strode through the miasma of fur and leaped onto the boulders that surrounded the mighty oak tree that marked the hollow of gatherings.

"Greetings, Lionstar," the deep baritone syllables pronounced, and a rich ginger head bowed.

[``Constantine]

The golden figure that was Lionstar rose to his feet in a single sweeping moment, and said, "Greetings Thunderstar. Is all well in FireClan?"
It was a question that leaders normally asked each as they awaited the arrival of other clans and leaders. It was also a good way to find out more about the other clans.
"Everything is well within FireClan," Thunderstar said, and amber eyes crinkled at the corners in a slight moment of amusement. Such pleasantries they exchanged. And to think that every gathering started out pretty much the same as this. But, it was just as well; they really couldn't go and state that their clans were on the verge of extinction, or something equally gruesome. That would do nothing but warrant unwanted attention from other Clans.

"Did you see any of the other clans? They should be here by now. They certanly are taking their time." However, It was perfectly fine to talk about the other clans, and speculate what sort pf demise had happened to them.
"I suppose they be abed in their dens," Thunderstar said nonchalantly, and smirked. AshClan was probably doing just that, being the bloody pieces of mousedung that they were.
