Pebblestone was climbing up the steep rocks with Swallowsong, Ripplestream, and a few other of his Clan mates behind him. He grunted with effort as he hauled himself over the last rock and flopped down on the ground wearily. Then the gray warrior got up and checked if any of the cats had injuries. ...Just scratches...he observed. Nothing serious.
Ripplestream and Swallowsong followed Pebblestone up the huge boulders and looked around. It had been so long since any of them had been up here, although Ripplestream came here once in a while to collect herbs.
Swallowsong looked around in awe. "Wow," she breathed. "I can almost remember the last flood now...I was just a new apprentice when that one happened.
The tabby she-cat had a thorn in her pawpad that she had forgotten about in the difficult climb and she gave the paw a few licks, but it was so deeply embedded she could not get it out. "Ow," she muttered quietly, but Ripplestream's sharp ears picked it up.
The medicine cat grasped the thorn between her teeth and tugged firmly. She spat it out and Swallowsong leaped back; almost to the edge of the rocks!
Pebblestone saw and quickly nudged his former apprentice away from the rocks were more cats were coming in their small groups. He saw Stonestream traveling with a bunch of EmberClan cats and he caught the EmberClan medicine cat's eye. The ShoreClan warrior nodded respectfully and helped him up the perilous rocks.
"Thanks," Stonestream rasped, catching his breath. "Not so young anymore," his whiskers twitched in amusement and he purred weakly. He glanced at the other cats already up and nodded briefly to Pebblestone before heading towards Ripplestream.

Nightfrost was following Pebblestone, Swallowsong and Ripplestream to Korkea Maa. When they finnaly reached the plateu, he lay down wearily, glad that the hard part of the trip was behind him. Just flat land to cross now. He looked down at his forleg, which had been scratched on a sharp rock when he had stumbled. It hurt horribly, but after licking it a few times, he ignored it. Ripplestream would have enough problems without his small complaints. He turned and saw all of the other cats stuggling up the baserock of the plateu. He noticed Pebblestone helping Stonestream up the last few tail-lenghts. Sighing, he went to join him, despite being exausted. The older cats would need some help.
Skysong walked beside Blitzfire, but she didn't talk to him. She couldn't, all of her breath was needed to climb up the side of the plateu. She followed Stonestream up the last jump, almost landing on Pebblestone, who she didn't see helping Stonestream. "Sorry." she gasped, before turning to find Blitzfire.
Feathermoon's group was behind Stonestream's. "Almost there." she breathed, reasuring herself and everyone around her. She had been to Korkea Maa before to gather herbs there; there was alot of wild garlic up here; but she had always stoped by the river for some of the herbs that she couldn't find near the stream in EmberClan. Now that she had made the treck without a break, she realized how much she depended on that little break to make it up the side of the plateu. If she hadn't been so out of breath, she would've muttered more encouragments to the cats around her. As it was, she didn't have enough breath to jump several rocks and instead had to jump one at a time.

Swallowsong stood by Pebblestone, waiting to steady any cats who were going to need help climbing the last couple of boulders up. She didn't know how cats from the other Clans would react to being helped by a ShoreClan warrior, but she, Nightfrost and Pebblestone tried all the same.
Ripplestrea noticed that Nightfrost was walking around with a slight limp and she went over to the warrior. "Don't try and help the other cats with an injury!" she mewoed sharply, though her eyes were conerned, "It won't help me or you."

"It's only a small scratch!" Nightfrost said, "It'll help everyone else!" He pointed out. He rally didn't feal like being babied by Ripplestream right now. And there were several, wors, injuries that the medicine cat sould be attending to. "Why don't you go help one of the other cats that are hurt?" He asked, glancing back down the rock face to see of anyone needed help. No one did, so he looke back at Riplestream. "Really, I'll be fine. It's just a little scratch."

(i'ma keep this short.)
Blossomkit was glad to hear the instructions were basically to travel with whoever they wanted to, so she stuck with most of the group she'd been hanging out with earlier, especially near Windpaw and Oakpaw, who was traveling with Stormpaw and a few other cats. ((that's not gmoding is it?))
Being young, she could keep up for the most part thanks to all her energy, but periodically the way got too rough and she had to be carried by a random adult who took pity on her. Usually she'd have complained and squirmed to get loose, but for once she was glad and didn't struggle.
Upon finally reaching Korkea Maa, her eyes were huge as she surveyed the area, wondering where everyone was going to sleep. It occured to her she was probably going to have to be glued to Swallowsong's side while they were here and a momentary boom of thunder made her think that wasn't too bad... maybe. But first she'd see what everyone else was doing...
Cinnamonstreak was eager to get going and was nicely calmed down by then. He stayed close to his Clanmates only because he noticed Stonestream wasn't doing that well. He was glad to see the older tom make it alright and took a seat nearby on a rock to watch the other cats stream into Korkea Maa. This was sure to be an interesting night as thunder rumbled in the distance, growing steadily closer and with it, the smell of a heavy rain.
Twilightsong had happily agreed with Hawkstar's decision and had followed the she-cat off the rock in good time to help Midnightstar lead ShoreClan to Korkea Maa. Once things settled down, he hoped to get some time alone to talk to her...
((Oakpaw is travelling with Stormpaw, but I didn't want to gmode, so I'ma wait for Stormpaw to post and then tailor my post to match, ok?))

Seamist heaved herself up the rocks, slightly winded from the long trek upwards. "Is everyone here?" she rasped, still obsessively concerned with helping her Clan and Clanmates. No matter what, she was still a faithful Clan cat at heart. Hazeltear bounded up the rocks more easily than her mother had done, and she remembered her adventure with Wolfriver from her youth. Eagerly, she shoved her former mentor halfway up the rocks, and bounded over to her father. "You made it!" she mewed gleefully, sounding like a kit for the first time since...she was a kit.

Heatherpaw made her way up the rocks, close by Stonestream's side. Though her mentor wasn't too terribly old, he was older than she, so she decided it might be best to stay near him. Besides, Ripplestream was nearby too, and she always felt comfortable when she was around Ripplestream. She felt more graceful than some as she bounded up the rocks easily.
Windpaw traveled with Oakpaw, Blossomkit, Stormpaw, and the others. She had remained quiet through most of the journey, with the occasional quip about the rocks or the storm. But the thunder and lightning scared her, and she highly detested the rain; some superstitious part of her felt that the rain was StarClan's tears. When the occasional droplet splattered next to her she jolted forwards, and once almost fell, nearly taking Blossomkit with her. That would have been very bad. But they finally reached their destination, and Windpaw was one of the first over the ledge, and onto the flat plateau, looking around.
Songheart followed Scarletstar throughout the journey. Nothing aroused her temper like a nice big ominous storm, so she often grumbled under her breath when a rock slipped and left another little cut on her paw pad. But she wasn't injured to bleeding, just enough to agitate her.
Jetmoon traveled upwards, his cheerful nature intact. He traveled near Feathermoon, following the medicine cat up the rocks. He scrambled to the top, standing near Windpaw.

Swallowsong had left her kit's side since Blossomkit was older now and didn't need to be looked after 24/7. The tabby she-cat quickly made her way over to the young kit and looked down at her. "Are you alright?" she meowed, giving the slightly dirty and messy fur a few quick licks. Her amber eyes flickered around the clearing and her gaze rested on her apprentice, Windpaw. The ShoreClan warrior gave her daughter one last lick before making her way over to Windpaw.
"How was the journey?" Swallowsong mewed softly as she reached the young she-cat's side. She must be nervous, scared, excited and a lot of other feelings...being here the first time, the tabby mused silently.
She wondered where her mate was. Pinestorm should be here by now... she cast a worried glance at Ripplestream, but found that the medicince cat had already gone towards Heatherpaw and Stonestream. Oh well, perhaps his group was just late leaving Fourtrees... The warrior was still worried for a little while then concentrated on her apprentice.
Ripplestream narrowed her eyes. She didn't like being talked back to, especially if it was concerning their health and ability to serve their Clan. "Fine," she meowed tartly and went over to Heatherpaw and Stonestream instead. "Hi, Heatherpaw," she greeted the young she-cat, "How was the journey to here for you?" she nodded politely to Stonestream and purred a friendly greeting.

Snakebite came over the last rock to almost walk right into Pebblestone.''Sorry I'm just worried. The tom moewed he still hadn't found Seaspirit.
Shadowjumper was still having a little problem up the steeo hill. She almost let out a yowl it was hard for a queen to make it all the way. She was still surprised that she made it. Shadowjumper went right over to Stonestrem and bowed her head.''I need something to clam my kits'' She asked sitting down.
Lillypaw was trotting alone behind Windpaw alone. She had tons of energy and passed a few of other cats. She raced the finally strech and skittted next to Windpaw.''Hi Windpaw I saw you almost fall. Lillypaw moewd and trotted off her tail high in the air.

Pebblestone murmured sympathetically. "What's wrong?" he asked, his green eyes concerned for his Clan mate.
Stonestream glanced at Ripplestream. "I'm sorry, Shadowjumper," his voice apologetic. "I-I lost my herbs in the river when I tripped over a root," the EmberClan medicine cat's voice was embarrassed.
Ripplestream took a look at her own packets of herbs. She found some thyme and poppy seed. "Thyme for the shock and poppy seeds for sleep and pain, but it's best if you don't take the poppy seeds since you're expecting kits." She lay the herbs down in front of the queen and searched for some borage.

Snakebite looked up to Pebblestone. I can't find Seaspirit or Falconclaw anywhre. The gray tom whispered he was afried that Seaspirit was lost and hurt somewhere in the forest.
Shaodwjumepr was shooked how could Stonestream loose all his herbs. Shadowjumper nodded to Ripplestrem and ate the Thyme. She was worried for the rest of the clans. What would happen to Emberclan since Stonestream lost his herbs.

Stonestream knew that Korkea Maa had herbs---the common ones anyways. "Don't worry, Shadowjumper. Korkea Maa has plenty of the common herbs we use at home," he reassured the young queen.
Ripplestream nodded in agreenment with the EmberClan tom and gave the black she-cat a few borage leaves. "The borage will help your milk come," she advised. She knew that borage tasted foul, but the kits needed it.

Owlclaw looked up at the climb ahead and sighed. The senior warrior noticed that some of the cats needed help but stopped himself going as he noticed the medicine cats handling it, that was good, he thought. Owlclaw bounded up to the tip of the exacuation and decide to act as a foreguard. He didn't trust the native rogues one bit... although he had heard of one that was a former Clan cat. He would try to defend the Clan with his life against the rogues if he had to.

Seamist padded up to Snakebite. "Still can't find Seaspirit?" she mewed sympathetically, and rested her tail on his shoulder. "Don't worry. She's bound to show up any minute now." She turned away and rather irritably looked down Korkea Maa. "Shadowfire, Pinestorm, I know you're there; get a move on, or I will flay you two," she called.
Pinestorm dashed upwards, and muttered, "I think she means it." Hurriedly, he jumped up the rocks nearly as fast as his sister had, and tripped on a sharp rock in the process. "Ow," he mewed irritably, as he felt it slice his pawpad. Limping slightly, he padded over to join his mate. He could sense how worried she was; her scent told him that she was beginning to panic. "Hi, Swallowsong," he purred. "Sorry I'm late." He down glanced at the ball of messy fur she was grooming, and added warmly, "Hey, Blossomkit. How's it going?"

ooc - She's gone over to Windpaw now. I think.
Swallowsong brightened up noticeably. Finally he was here! "I was beginning to worry about you," she meowed, giving his ears a lick. She scented a faint hint of blood coming from her mate and meowed. "You're hurt!" she quickly glanced over him. Nope, not on his flank...not shoulder...paw! Her amber gaze rested on his paw where he cut it and led him over to Ripplestream ((powerplaying??))
