More New Cats and a Change

Brookstar was once again on the HighStone, pride and happiness making her blue eyes shine. Her clan was now huge - though they still had mouths to feed, they could now overcome almost everything. "Will all cats old enough to hunt their own prey, please gather here below the HighStone!" She waited patiently as the cats, young and old, gathered below her. "We have two new strong warriors joining us today!" She announced, then turned to the two sisters. "Brookfur and Willowlilly, do you two promise to defend and uphold the warrior code and your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," came the unhesitant and firm reply.

"Then I confirm your warrior names and welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan!" Brookstar smiled.

"Brookfur! Willowlilly! Brookfur! Willowlilly!" The clan cheered the two new warriors.

Brookstar let her clan yowl the newly made warriors' names for a couple heartbeats before waving her tail for silence.
She paused and took a deep breath before continuing. "We all know that the rock I am standing on at the moment is called the HighStone for its tremendous size," she told the clan. "But perhaps the name does not tell its true meaning, and does not describe it enough. So I am renaming this announcement-boulder." There were a couple gasps, and a murmur swept throughout the clan. Brookstar sent them all a fierce glare to quiet them before continuing. "From this moment on, this rock will be named the EagleLedge in honor of our founder, Eaglestar," Brookstar declared, and many cats below her nodded in approval. "Are there any objections?"
.....

"I thought so. Meeting dismissed!"

New Cat

Brookstar stood on top of the HighStone, watching over her clan as they gathered beneath her. She began the meeting. "Today we have a new warrior in FalconClan, Oakfang. Please welcome him!"
"Oakfang! Oakfang!" The clan cheered.

"I would also like to say that the mountain hunting bird training has been coming along quite well. I believe it is possible to start hunting those. So, I would like Moonblossom to lead her first mountain bird hunting patrol out today after this meeting." Brookstar paused, surveying her clan. "Alright. Meeting dismissed!" She leaped off the HighStone and went back to her den.

January Gathering

Brookstar watched her clan gather below her under the HighStone. "The Gathering is tonight! The cats that I will bring with me are:
Nightclaw
Violetgaze
Stormtalon
Flarestorm
Shadowmist
Fadingdust
Hawkflower
Moonblossom
Berylmist
Crowflight
Skyblaze
Nightshadow
Shadownight
Waterfeather
Streampaw
Silverpaw
Leafpaw
Bluepaw
Cherrypaw
Briskpaw
and Snowpaw."
Brookstar looked around at her clan, seeing expressionless, excited, and disappointed faces. "Darkflame will be in charge of camp when we are gone. Let's go!" She called, leaping off the HighStone.

Shadowmist

Brookstar looked down at her clan, proud at the fast rate of growth in it. "Today we have a cat joining us, as a warrior." She turned to the black and white she-cat beside her. "Shadowmist, do you promise to uphold and defend the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." The she-cat's voice was resolute.
"Then I confirm your warrior name, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar put her muzzle on the new warrior's head, and Shadowmist licked her shoulder.

When the cheering had died down, Brookstar waved her tail for attention again. "The plan for the training for hunting is complete. There will be two training sessions a day, with the clan split into six groups to train. Two of the four teachers will lead each session. This way, every cat will have one training session every three days. These training sessions will be held at the training hollow. The first session, tomorrow at dawn, will be:
Silentecho, Silverpaw, Streampaw, Leafpaw and their mentors, led by Darkflame and Moonblossom.
The second session, tomorrow at sunhigh, will be:
Flarestorm, Stormtalon, Goldenshine, and Frostpelt, with their apprentices if they have one, led by Hawkflower and Skyblaze." Brookstar finished her speech, then nodded to her clan. "Meeting dismissed!" She meowed audibly, then leapt off the HighStone.

Two Warriors

Brookstar leaped onto the HighStone elegantly. "Cats who are old enough to catch their own prey please gather under the HighStone for a clan meeting!" She surveyed her clan as they emerged out of their dens, got up from the fresh kill pile, stopped sharing tongues and sitting at the bottom of the HighStone. Behind her, a pretty brown tabby she-cat and a bengal she-cat stood behind her, curious. "We have two cats joining us today, and I have made a decision on who, besides Darkflame, will supervise the hunting training program. Fadingdust and Hawkflower will be joining us as warriors today. Do you two promise to protect and uphold the warrior code and your clan at the cost of your life?"
The two she-cats exchanged glances, then looked straight at Brookstar, their faces and voices resolute. "I do."
"Then you are now part of FalconClan. You can live and hunt with us and expect to be honored and treated well." Brookstar paused, then added, "Fadingdust, I know that you are talented with herbs. Sometimes, when both Pinepaw and Violetgaze are gone with other duties, I would like it if you would help the clan with healing. You would not be a medicine cat or even a medicine cat helper, just someone who would help in emergencies, and you would still be a warrior. If you need to think it over, I give you until moonhigh. Come to my den then." Brookstar then turned to the rest of the clan. "And the three other cats who will work with Darkflame are: Skyblaze, Hawkflower, and Moonblossom. You four may converse about this later, after the meeting, and tell me your plan at moonhigh." Brookstar finished and was about to dismiss her clan when a soft voice called out from the crowd.
"Brookstar, can I ask for something?" It was Brightlegs, calling from just outside the nursery with Blossomkit sitting beside her.
"Go ahead, Brightlegs," the leader meowed.
"Brookstar, I'd like to take a break from the nursery and do my warrior duties," the queen mewed.
Brookstar tried to hide her shock as she looked down at the fluffy white she-cat. "But you have kits to take care of, Brightlegs. You cannot let her fend for herself..."
She was cut off by the queen. "No, of course I do not mean to leave my kit like that! I was wondering if Silverwater could, until her kits are born! Then I could return to the nursery."
The leader bit back a "By then Blossomkit would be an apprentice", and dipped her head wearily. "Alright then, Brightlegs. As long as Silverwater is willing, I don't mind. But if she doesn't you'll have to stay in the nursery. Okay?"
Brightlegs dipped her head at her leader. "Yes, Brookstar."
Brookstar nodded, then turned to the rest of the clan. "Meeting dismissed!"

A New Type of Prey

Brookstar stood on the HighStone, looking down at her hungry clan. She had made a desicion, and FalconClan would have to try it. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, please gather here under the HighStone for a clan meeting!" When all the cats were sitting below her, gazing at her earnestly, she took a deep breath and began. "Cats of FalconClan, we all know that with leafbare, prey is scarce and many of us are going to our dens with empty bellies. Especially in the mountains, it is extremely cold and there is virtually no prey. FalconClan is growing, and we have a lot more mouths to feed- over 50 mouths. However, there are still mountain birds in our territory. Some of us come from tribes, and know how to capture larger birds, like hawks, eagles, and kites, as prey. I believe that if we begin to do this not just for this leafbare but for all the other leafbares, we will have enough prey to eat. From now on, there will be a mountain bird hunting training program for those who need to learn how to hunt mountain birds. This will be run by Darkflame and three other cats. I will give you the information tomorrow at sunhigh." Brookstar finished and swept a cold blue gaze around the clan. "Any questions?"
Silence.
"Meeting dismissed!"
