{Beyond this place of wrath and tears...
It was dark, and she was alone.
A half-moon reflected off of the freshly fallen snow, its light washing everything with silver. Storm-clouds from the day still hung around, clinging to the idea that they might get a chance to unleash themselves again onto the forest, but, for now, they had been silenced. The Pond of Truce was disconcertingly quiet, as though every living creature in the forest knew what was--hopefully--about to take place:
Mutiny of the greatest degree.
...looms but the Horror of the shade...
From SunsetClan, Ratstar hovered at the edge of the clearing, her eyes sharp and alert once again; unlike at the Gathering, when she had been... unwell. The petite feline, standing in fresh powder up to her elbows, had carved a trail in the snow all the way from her camp--there would be no secrets if someone came looking for her, but who would, at this time of night? Sandstrike... she hadn't told him she'd be leaving, but he hardly checked in on her at this hour anymore... so odds were slim he'd come looking for her.
She had needed to come alone. After moons of shared struggles and pain and fear within her Clan... it was now that she had needed to walk alone.
...and yet the menace of the years...
Inhaling deeply, composing herself, Ratstar stepped out into the clearing. In the same moment, it seemed as though the last strands of cloud vapor melted from in front of the moon, allowing its cold, stark light to engulf the dappled leader. She hesitated for only a moment, taking note that no others had yet arrived, and then made her familiar way to the Pond of Truce, which had frozen over and was invisible beneath the blanket of snow.
Bracing herself, Ratstar made that leap up onto the cold stone, finalizing her actions in that moment just as surely as the period at the end of this sentence will do for these words.
And then she waited.
StarClan knew she had waited long enough for this night... but also that she could handle waiting a few moments more.
...finds and shall find me unafraid}
// I left it vague as to how the meeting was actually set up, but I figured Ratstar would have mentioned it at the end of the last Gathering, after LeafClan had left, and then sent one or two SunsetClan warrior to the other leaders (who did not attend the Gathering) with the message. =)
