Finally feeling at peace and nuzzling into Revy's fur, Darksecret began to drift off. He was never a big dreamer, so his sleep was not disturbed.

OOC: I think we can begin now. Others can join as we go along, so it has more of the "everyone is lost and needs to be found" kind of feeling, if you know what I mean.

Dance of Endless Sorrow had been attempting to fish farther up the stream when a noise startled her. Letting out a short yowl, her paws skidded out from under her and sent her tumbling into the water. Feeling the current begin to drag her under, Dance struck out with her legs, trying vainly to find any sort of anchored land. She found nothing and was continued to be ushered down by the flowing stream.

Feeling her head break through the surface of the water, Dance drew in a forceful gasp. She didn't know what or who had caught her, but she was too exhausted to find out. Hanging limp, Dance kept taking quick, shallow breaths while trying to regain her composure and strength.

She barely managed to choke out, "Dance," before she closed her eyes and remained silent.

Sputtering, Dance gave a feeble twitch. She coughed and choked up some water and gave into her tiredness. She wouldn't allow herself to fall asleep near this cat, not wanting to let her guard down until she figured out how much of a threat the other cat was.

"I am f-from-cough-the Tribe," she choked out. "Are y-you?"

"Dance of Endless Sorrow," the light-colored tabby mewed. She steadied herself just enough to move from her position on her side to lying on her belly. Finally getting a chance to inspect the cat who saved her, Dance spoke, "So, you're another prey-hunter by the looks of you, right?"

"I am also lost," Dance perked her ears up in surprise. It was pure chance that they met. Flicking her tail with embarrassment, the she-cat decided that Feather deserved to here how she had gotten into that mishap. "I was wandering in a group of trees upstream from here. I followed the sound of the water, trying to see if I could recognize anything. By that time, I had become extremely frustrated. The only thing that really helps to sooth my worries is hunting, so, I decided to fish. While I was fishing, lost in my own thoughts, there was a loud rustle coming from behind me. It startled me into slipping off of the bank and into the current. That's when you saved me. Thank you."

((OOC: so, I dunno how you want to do the mating thing, if you want to at all ^^' so, do you want to just do it like in the books with no word about it or?))

Though his sleep was dreamless, Darksecret's tail seemed to be having dreams of its own. It began to drag itself across Revy's nose.

((OOC: I think I'll just keep it out unless you would like to ^^'))

The sun was slowly making its way into the sky, dying the clouds a light red. By that time, Darksecret's tail had frozen. Slowly opening his eyes, he purred softly when he saw Revy and raised his head. "Good morning."

Her tail twitched with unease. I guess it would be safer.... Dance thought. "Sure," she meowed, "Did the queens make it?"

"Like I was sleeping on a cloud," he purred, stretching alongside her. "We should meet the clan today." He licked Revy's ear and wrapped his tail around her shoulders.

"Come on," Darksecret said as he led her out of the small den into the large clearing. Almost everybody was off on a patrol at this time. It was the perfect time to show Revy the camp.

"We probably should," she meowed, beginning to stand shakily.

Glancing at the she-cat beside him, he said, "Calm down, they won't hurt you. If anybody is even here." He began to show her the different dens; the nursery, the elder's, the warrior's, the apprentice's, and finally, the leader's. "This is where Gravelstar sleeps," he swung his tail to point, "She leads the clan and performs ceremonies for the clan."

"Yes. The warriors and apprentices hunt to bring in fresh-kill for the kits. The kits grow into apprentices and learn how to hunt. The apprentices then get their warrior names, and when the warriors grow old, they become elders and are taken care of by the younger warriors and apprentices because they have given their lives to take care of the clan. They deserve all of our respect," he said with a glimmer of pride shining in his jade eyes. He loved Windclan and would give his life for every last kit.

His expression changed from one of pride to one of extreme happiness. "I don't see why not!" Darksecret purred, nearly jumping with joy.

"Yes, she needs to perform the ceremony for you to become a warrior. There's one important question I need to ask, though," he said, "Would you like a warrior name, or would you want to keep your own. I already know that both will be beautiful, whichever you choose."

Darksecret purred and said, "I'll go tell Gravelstar." He slipped into her den, making himself known first. Padding back out, he spoke again, "She'll be ready in a moment."

((Would you like to choose a warrior name for Revy? :3 and would you want to just fade into the time after the ceremony? I don't know the whole ceremony by memory.
