@rosa and everyone else! We have plotting to do!
Oceanstar mounted his usual platform and called the clan to a meeting. "All those old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the Fang for a clan meeting!" He had a few things to cover, as well as a ceremony. He always enjoyed doing those, particularly in this case. He knew the apprentice personally, and those ceremonies were always the most fun.
"Rosepaw, you are compassionate and loyal. It is time for you to become a warrior. I name you Rosetail. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?
( Wait for response of "I do". )
Then I commend you to CloudClan, to become a warrior."
He fell silent to let the clan cheer but remained atop the stone. He had more to say and needed his warriors for what he was planning next.

Rosepaw attended the gathering, of coarse, and was surprised to be called out. "I do," she said. Now she would be known as Rosetail. It was a fine enough name, though she was sure any would have done.
After ceremonies she found the announcer quickly left, so when Oceanstar didn't she took a step or two back to listen to what he had to say.

Swanfrost watched the ceremony with mild interest, grooming her chest fur boredly. She usually didn't attend ceremonies, though she had nothing else to do anyways since she had just finished a hunt. Swanfrost stayed in the back, just close enough to hear what Oceanstar was saying. She stood to leave, though when Oceanstar remained in place she moved closer, growing curious. What other announcements were there? Another ceremony? She doubted that. Swanfrost sat down, ears alert.

Flickerpaw padded to the forefront and sat down beneath Oceanstar's perch, surveying the rest of the clan. She thought she rather enjoyed this part of being a medicine cat, getting her own special seat at a meeting. The calico rose her head somewhat and glanced at the unfamiliar faces. When she caught the eye of the newly named Rosetail she dipped her head in congratulations. It was a lovely name, simple yet loyal.
Then, Flickpaw stilled to see what else Oceanstar had to say.

Brightwing happened to be in camp at this time. She watched the ceremony come and go, she didn't call out Rosetail's name though. It felt... Almost out of place. So, she held her tongue. She tilted her head in curiosity as Oceanstar stayed atop the Fang, even after he finished the ceremony. Clearly, he had something to else to say. She wondered what it would be.

There weren't as many cats as he would have liked but more would turn up later, hopefully. He was glad to see two warriors he trusted, Brightwing and Swanfrost, as well as their new medicine cat apprentice. In the very least his words were relevant to all of them.
"Those who have not heard, at the previous gathering Rockclan announced they would be leaving their territory and moving to a new one, opposite Treeclan and Iceclan." This news was wonderful, since they would now only have Treeclan on their border. He did not believe he could be less vigilant, but as least Rockclan would never again be a threat.
"In their absence, their territory will be left empty. Fireclan has struggled this leafbare. We are large and strong and I have decided that this empty land will be a great benefit to us. I will select a few patrols to journey into Rockclan territory and push back the border, this will be happening immediately. If anyone challenges you, you are to fight for your clan. This is land we will sorely need." With a last flick of his tail he descended from his perch and began walking towards the warriors to pick patrols.

 Silverwhisker Silverwhisker fully trusted her leader, her ears twitching as he spoke. The tabby thought it was good to get more space for a growing clan, getting more experience, and more kits.
Maybe she was paranoid, the tabby felt something odd in her stomach. She decided to wave it off, before nodding after Oceanstar was done speaking.

Swanfrost nodded, her tail tip twitching. It was a smart move, as long as no one opposed them that was. Even if they did, Fireclan was strong enough to take any threats down. Swanfrost padded towards Oceanstar immediately as he jumped down, her large ears flicking back. She didn't bother asking to be on a patrol, she didn't want to sound needy. She just hoped he would pick her.

Willowpaw listened to Oceanstar with her interest piqued, and her ears pricked upon hearing his plans. Really? Willowpaw didn't even know what kind of prey RockClan cats hunted. And if it was so dangerous that the entire clan was leaving, then how could FireClan hunt there safely?
She didn't try to speak up, though. Willowpaw trusted her leader, and she thought that exploring a new place would be cool. At the very least, they might be able to keep rogues from over-running the abandoned territory.

Rosetail thought it was a good idea to take the territory, but wouldn't Iceclan think of that too? They had also had a long leafbare, and they were more used to the mountain like territory so they would have the edge if they tried to take it. She herself wouldn't mind going on one of the patrols, but she figured it would be better to let Oceanstar pick.

Brightwing had a strange nagging feeling, like this wouldn't end well... But she could see the wisdom behind the decision. If Rockclan wasn't using the territory, it would be fine for Fireclan to move in there... Right?
Plus... Getting to explore a different terrain was a little bit too enticing for Brightwing to resist.
She wouldn't mind being sent on a patrol to extent their borders in that direction, but... She hoped it would be a patrol without conflict, honestly.

Redfoot momentarily cheered for Rosetail, her graduating apprentice. She then listened with the rest of the Clan for Oceanstar's announcement. As she listened, her ears twitched back and forth. She nodded her head, she couldn't agree more with their leader. No Clan needed the extra territory more than FireClan. She narrowed her eyes, wondering if any other Clans had the same idea. Redfoot shrugged. She would fight for their new land if it came down to it.
The senior warrior would go on a patrol if Oceanstar needed her to, she actually sort of wanted to go. |

"ROSETAIL! ROSETAIL! ROSETAIL!" Sparkpaw shouted his sister's name at the top of his lungs, wanting to make sure he was the loudest to welcome her into the clan as a warrior. He did his best to push down any jelously he might've felt at watching his baby sister become a warrior before him--he knew that she must've worked hard for this. The orange apprentice bounded quickly over to the newly-named warrior once her ceremony had ended. "I'm so proud of you, kiddo," he mewed quietly, nuzzling the she-cat slightly before sitting back and watching his mentor continue on with the clan meeting.
I still have to talk with him about Firepaw... he reminded himself, feeling worried as he listened to Oceanstar talk about moving their border. A part of him was very excited about the prospect of having more territory to explore, but the mention of fighting made worry surface to the top of his mind. There's already so much fighting going on inside the clan... he swore that he could still smell blood from the other day. Still, if FireClan needs this land--Sparkpaw held his head up high, trying to convince himself to be confident.

Oceanstar wove among his warriors, thinking on who would be best to accompany the patrols. Finally he stopped at the head again and flicked his tail. He would have liked his deputy to lead one but she was evidently nowhere to be seen. "Adaline, you will lead a patrol to claim Wolf Jaw Cavern beneath the waterfall. Take @rosa and Redfoot with you." He wanted to see how the new warrior would act on a proper patrol.
"I will lead the second patrol, Sparkpaw and Swanfrost will accompany me to the hanging flat." If Sparkpaw performed well Oceanstar was considering giving him his apprentice ceremony early, though he was not planning on telling the apprentice that just yet. He looked around at all his warriors with a proud smile. "We leave immediately. Keep on the lookout of rogues that will try to take advantage of the open territory. Iceclan should not be a threat; they would have to cross over the waterfall to take more territory and I doubt it is a risk Fallenstar is willing to take."

Brightwing blinked. She was surprised to have been chosen to lead one of the expansion patrols, especially since she was asked to take a far more experienced warrior than her. She was fairly new... She wondered what was going on in Oceanstar's head. Still, she wouldn't question it.
She dipped her head. "I'll do my best, Oceanstar." She was confident in her skills as a solo warrior, but as a leader? Less so. Regardless, she would do what she could to live up to Oceanstar's expectations for the sake of Fireclan.
