Travel Ceremony!

The leader scrambled to the top of the Highrock, yowling a loud call. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, please gather beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting!" His voice echoed throughout the camp. The silver-tabby stood in a tall and proud stance as he waited for his clan-members to gather below. "Cats of SombreClan! Our deputy, PigeonFeather and MiseryCloud went searching in attempt to locate a water supply as it is the water making so many cats ill. But, unfortunately, they were unsuccessful," he said, his eyes scanning over the cats in the crowd. "But, I have a plan. SombreClan will travel at Sun-High next Sunrise and go to ValiantClan in hope they will shelter us until we can locate a new water supply. All kits, queens and injured cats are to be together at all times throughout the move and will be accompanied by HazelLeaf and EelHeart, MarigoldFlame, ProudFire and ChestnutPool. We set off next sunrise at Sun-high, everyone is to be prepared and to be ready in the Camp at that time! We will get through this, do not give up. Remember, we are a family." The leader trailed the last of his words, slowly, ensuring they had greater effect. He bowed his head as a sign of respect then leaped down from his perch, signalling that the meeting was over.

The brown she-cat nodded thoughtfully, although not completely supportive of the decision. "I guess we have to... We don't have any other choice." She flattened an ear, knowing that asking other clans for help would signify weakness on their part.

"We are not weak if we are together. ValiantClan is not entirely heartless," she said, nodding, hopeful that the clan would take them in.

RainingStorm sighed lightly but nodded in agreement with the spoken words.
