(Problem: Goldstar would not make a big deal about an outer-clan affection. He doesn't believe it should be punnished.)

(He would warn them of the possible danger and ask once for it to stop. If it didn't, he'd suspect they were devoted enough to each other not to listen so they really must love each other. Yet he would never bring the clan in danger from DuskClan over a simple matter.)

A yowl came from the edge of the clearing as Maplestar appeared on the horizon, her group of cats standing behind her. With a flick of her tail the leader stepped out of the shadows, nodding to her cats as a signal that they were dismissed. She immediatly bounded over to Silverstar and gave her friend a flick with her tail. "Sorry I'm late," she panted, sitting down on the dusty floor. "One of our elders got sick, and I wanted to make sure she was alright before we left. But of course Summerfur had to be out of the right herb, so we had to wait- oh, hello, Goldtalon. How are things in PewterClan?" She looked around for the other Clan's leader, but couldn't find him anywhere. "Isn't Ravenstar here? He isn't ill, is he?" She looked back to the deputy, her eyes shining with concern.

"Ravenstar has been taken home to StarClan."
Goldtalon looked at the ground for a few seconds, the sadness still leaving something painful in his heart. He confidently raised his head again.
"Now...I suggest we start before the cats get their fur in knarls of impatience."
He smiled gently.
"Do you mind starting? Me starting would cause confusion as the others don't yet know of the happenings..." Goldstar said, looking at the MapleClan leader with soft eyes.

Maplestar nearly fell over with shock. Ravenstar? Dead? It couldn't be! He had been leader when Maplestar had joined the Clan as a lost kittypet! He couldn't be gone! She wanted nothing more than to yowl her grief to the sky, but she still had to hold an image of dignity. She simply bowed her head and laid her ears flat. "I'm so sorry." Her voice was hoarse with pain. "Ravenstar served as a wonderful leader for many moons. I'm sure StarClan will honor him." As she tried to recollect herself, she nodded as Goldstar asked to speak first. "Of course. I'm sure you'll do a great job, Goldstar. May StarClan guide your path."

"You as well Maplestar."
Goldstar dipped his head deeply, his golden fur blowing around his face. He was grateful for the sudden wind...
It could hide his single tear effectively. With a shake of his head, Goldstar disloged it from his vision, blinking before sitting down, his eyes attentive. He needed to remember Maplestar's every opening for this gathering...Next time, he wouldn't forget how to begin.
Goldstar's jaw was locked, in both pain and anxiety. WOuld the others accept his new title? Or would he bring hatred to his clan for his own task?

Noticing that the other leaders were waiting for her, Maplestar leapt up and signaled for the other cats to be quiet. "Cats of all Clans, welcome to the Gathering!" Her voice rang out clear and strong, despite the grief that clawed on her belly. "First to speak is Goldtalon of PewterClan. He has some news for all of you." She backed away and motioned for the new leader to speak.

Goldstar clawed his way to the top of the rock and took a brief moment to gather his thoughts. Many cats looked shocked to see him atop there.
Devilpaw snorted from MapleClan. "Who do you think you are? That's Ravenstar's job!"
Goldstar ignored the apprentice momentarily, opening his mouth to speak. "Cats of all clans, I speak tragic news. PewterClan's beloved leader Ravenstar has passed on to StarClan. I have suceeded him, however I can never hope to take his place."
The golden dappled tom stood sentry for a moment in the silence, not speaking until his breath had caught back to his lungs. The pride returned to his sorrowed eyes, and he straightened his shoulders to look them in the eyes, as if challenging them to think he was not capable.
"PewterClan is deeply saddened by our loss, but we are just as strong as we have ever been."
Goldstar advised, a hidden promise deep in his gaze. He promised Ravenstar to look out for his clan...And he would do that with every breath of every life.
"Now...To another matter. Prey is running well in PewterClan, and we have many new warriors and apprentices. But I do have question for Silverstar. Silverstar, one of your clan mention to us that you were under attack. Nudgewing's patrol showed kindness to you, and leapt to help...But your other warriors seemed to think we were invading, and they called us trespassers. Could you kindly mention where this confusion has come from?"

Maplestar felt a wave of pride rush through her as she heard Goldstar speak. He didn't even belong to her Clan, but she was happy to know that such a sensible cat would be succeeding Ravenstar. She gave him a nod when he finished his bit about his former leader, even though he wasn't looking at her. As the new PewterClan leader continued to speak, Maplestar felt her ears perk up. She had heard about the trespassing incident- Pinepelt had overheard it happening as he was hunting. She was wondering just as much as Goldstar as to why Ravenstar's warriors had acted so rudely.

Orangepaw came to sit by what looked like a warrior named Mosswater as she heard and nodded to her then listen and waited for Screechstar to speak.

Nudgewing sub-unconsciously felt her claws sink into the soft ground, nervous about Duskclan's reaction. Despite this, the deputy looked at the other clans defiantly, ready to back Goldstar up if needed. The she-cat's tail lashed, and her ears pressed flat to her skull for a quick moment, before she relaxed. It wasn't like they did anything wrong.
