Even though he was nervous, Eaglepaw's friendly disposition forced a slight smile onto his maw, and Adderpaw had always been polite to him. Thankfully, his mentor's words also comforted him as well. Whitestar definitely knew what he was doing, letting Dawnstar go first. The she-cat might be his aunt, though she frightened her in a way that wasn't normal. It was hard to be comfortable around her, especially when she had a daughter like Barricudashade. Even now, he could see their deputy below their leader, scanning the clearing with a sly gaze. [color=646D7E][i]She's going to be a problem when she's leader,[/i][/color] Albatrosspaw shuddered. Dawnstar's primary statement was ordinary as ever. Some cats shouted out the new apprentices' names with pride, though many decided to stay silent. He felt bad for Lionpaw and Scorchpaw. Just because cats didn't like Dawnstar didn't mean they had to take it out on apprentice. Her second statement, though, made him perk up entirely. Albatrosspaw hadn't heard of this until now! He tossed a glance at the other medicine cats. Sagecloud's jaw had dropped open, while Rainwhisker glared at the BreezeClan leader like he wanted to shove deathberries in her fish. Coyotestar's voice quickly joined Spiderstar's. Her yellow eyes narrowed at Whitestar and Dawnstar. [b]"Not only does this go against tradition, but merging both FireClan and BreezeClan will only prove a threat to DarkClan and RainClan."[/b] The older she cat's voice dripped with poison as she spoke, her bushy tail lashing back and forth. [b]"Just because we choose to merge does not mean that we are going to attack your Clans. Like Dawnstar said, our problems will be solved if we simply become one Clan. But if you choose to remain on your own, so be it."[/b] Whitestar rumbled. After a moment of silence, he cast his gaze up into the sky. [b]"If StarClan is so against our idea, then why don't they cover the moon with clouds?"[/b] Albatrosspaw followed his gaze. Just as Whitestar said, the sky was clear and shimmering with stars. The moon remained unobstructed by clouds. In fact, it seemed to glow more than ever![/color]
