Icepaw stood on a rock overlooking a clearing. The clearing was within an old crumbling building which only had a few stones which used to be the walls piled up. Tall weed grew in and around the building everywhere except the clearing where the weeds had been uprooted to make a circle. At the edge of the circle was the rock on which Icepaw stood.
There were about 17 other cats siting in the clearing, all of them were looking up at Icepaw. They were of various colors and shades. A few were only one color but the rest had spots of color splashed over them like paint. The colors were mostly dark although there was one plain white cat which sat closer to Icepaw than the rest.
"Why have you called a meeting, Iceclaw?" said the white cat, speaking to Icepaw. Icepaw, or Iceclaw as he had named himself, looked down at the white cat.
"Patience Whiteplet." he said to the white cat. "That is the first thing a clan cat would learn."
"But we aren't clan cats." said a black and brown spotted cat near the back."
"No we aren't." said Iceclaw. "Not yet. I want to make us a clan. The first clan of the Ruins. And our clan name will be ClawClan because we have the sharpest claws you can find. Here and in the forest. That is why I have given you clan names rather than keep your own. Because no matter how much we dislike those clan cats their ways keep them together and any other way would make the clans fall apart. But those clan cats have too much territory and it is time for ClawClan to claim some and become a clan too. We don't have to live off scrapes from the two-legs anymore. We can hunt and be like them. I know that is when many of you want, and now it is yours for the taking." he finished and looked down at the cat, awaiting their reply.
The cats in the clearing murmured to each other for a while before Whitepelt stood up. "If we are a clan then you are the Leader and a Leader doesn't need to ask his clan what they thinks. He is supposed to know what the clan wants and act by that."
"Yes, Whitepelt," said Iceclaw. "but I have been your Leader for a short time and I feel I should ask anyway. So anyone who apposes this, speak now." he said, looking toward the back where the cats who were more likely to appose this sat.
The cat who who had spoken before got up. "I agree with this. I want that clan territory." he said loudly. Soon all the cats were yowling in agreement and Iceclaw smiled calmly, watching over his clan, ClawClan.

((Wolflover, you're supposed to RP Ravenpaw finding these cats, reminding Icepaw of his past, and convincing them to come back to the territory as BreezeClan))

((I know, I'm just not sure what to say. Didn't expect him to just make his own Clan. I thought he forgot about them?))

((
he didn't forget, he just couldn't risk coming back to BreezeClan territory.
Hmm... maybe you could have Ravenpaw hiding behind one wall of the old crumbling building , listening to Icepaw's speech, very nervous about how to approach him, then walking a short distance away, curling up to sleep, then being woken up by one of the rogues and dragged over to Icepaw to decide what to do with her, but then she tells him about her dream?))

((Said in the message you sent he had almost forgot, but whatever.))
A cat of sleek black landed silently by the crumbling ruins, listening intently to the speech Icepaw made. Ravenpaw knew it was Icepaw, it was the cat she had seen in her dream, but she wasn't sure what to think. She had never thought of Icepaw as a cat like that, but if he wanted to make a Clan, now could be his chance. Would BreezeClan be renamed ClawClan? Would he even listen to her if she tried to tell him. Ravenpaw was thinking it was too risky, especially with all those rogues around. But she had to say something, she couldn't just let Icepaw do this kind of thing.
Do you know anything about being a leader? she wondered. Ravenpaw probably had more experience with that kind of thing, and she wasn't even a warrior yet. Maybe Icepaw had some ideas on leadership, but being a Clan leader? Ravenpaw doubted he could live with rogues for moons and still learn to be a Clan leader. It didn't matter, that was his goal, and that was what she had to do something about.
Risking a chance, Ravenpaw left her hiding place. She had to talk to Icepaw. In one swift movement, she bounded past his 'Clan', and landed by him. She bowed her head before anyone could do anything, not just as a sign of respect, but because this cat was the only other one left of BreezeClan, the only one who could help her remake it "Icepaw."

((I think Caznikk just means that he has forgotten about being raised by BreezeClan. That doesn't mean he doesn't know the Clans are in the forest and they have way too much territory.))
Iceclaw looked down at Ravenpaw. He didn't recognize her, at least, not at first. His first reaction was to order the other cats to capture her, but then he thought he saw something familiar about her. Iceclaw saw Whitepelt start to come up to Ravenpaw to stop her but Iceclaw waved Whitepelt back with his tail. "Thats Iceclaw to you." he said sternly. Then he remembered her. "Your Ravenkit. Or, probably Ravenpaw by now. What do you want with me?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm Ravenpaw" she said, glad Icepaw remembered her, "but who named you Iceclaw? It wasn't a Clan leader, and unless StarClan came to you in a dream and gave it to you, you're still Icepaw to me." She wasn't about to call him a name that wasn't his. When he was in a Clan, or the leader of one, it wouldn't be a problem because he could have his name, as it was, he was still Icepaw to Ravenpaw. "I'm here, because there is a war going on over BreezeClan territory Icepaw, and I need your help to stop it, to remake BreezeClan. We're the only cats left from BreezeClan, and only we can do it. I need your help on this."

"My name is Iceclaw becuase all the leaders of the ClawClan have 'claw' as the last part of their name rather than 'star'." said Iceclaw. He vaguely remembered the name 'BreezeClan' and a fire. "And why should it matter to me if they are fighting over their territory. Thats their problem, not mine. If fact, that will only make them weaker, which I want. Of course re-creating BreezeClan does appeal to me. But I like ClawClan better. You can join if you like." he said.

"What leader has 'claw' at the end of their name? Who are your leaders? Do you join StarClan?" Ravenpaw asked him. She doubted it if they didn't have 'star' at the end of their names. "I would never join your Clan, I follow StarClan, and that will not change. I do need your help to make BreezeClan though, Icepaw. Surely you can't feel that badly about them? What MireClan did to you was wrong, I'm not sure why they did it, but I do need your help." At the same time she said it, Ravenpaw felt certain is was pointless.

"My Clan has not been able to ask StarClan if we may join them because your Clans block our way!" IceClaw spat. "But that won't matter soon." He said in a calmer voice. "We will take the old BreezeClan territory and and ask StarClan to accept us. Then we will take the name 'star' for our leaders. But until then we will not insult StarClan by taking a name that is not ours."

That wasn't the answer Ravenpaw had expected, and for a moment, she just stood there. Then she looked Icepaw in the eye, begging him to hear her out. "Why are you so intent on your ClawClan? These are loners, is BreezeClan any different? You can have your warrior name then, and why should the other Clans block your way? StarClan can be here, maybe they are here, they sent me here for a reason Icepaw, to find you and remake BreezeClan with you, but not as ClawClan. Have you tried to contact StarClan? For all you know, they are here. Have the cats of your 'Clan' had strange dreams they can't explain? How do you know for sure?" Ravenpaw felt it was dangerous to say this, but she felt she needed to.

"These cats are no longer loners. They may have been loners once but now they are in a clan and are no longer loners. And I don't need my warrior name. I'm a leader now. I was chosen as their leader and their leader I will stay." said Iceclaw. "And as for the other clans, they do block my way. They are in between me and the Lightning-Struck Sands where StarClan speaks the loudest. And if I tried to go there now the clan patrols would stop me and if I told them I needed to talk to StarClan they would laugh at me and call me a loner and chase me away. And no we have had no dreams, but we have only recently done anything that may attract the attention of StarClan."
He stopped, looking down at her. She was practically begging him to help her re-make BreezeClan. But that wasn't what he wanted. He wanted to be leader of this clan, with these cats he had grown to know. He had friends here, like Whitepelt. But within the clans he had no friends and he didn't know any of them. If he were to re-make BreezeClan that would mean abandoning his friends and his newly-founded leadership. No, he wouldn't do that. He had made a life here and he wasn't about to leave it.

Ravenpaw was pretty sure she didn't have anything left to say, but she wondered what Icepaw's problem was. Could it be that hard to take all these cats and go to BreezeClan territory? How much difference was a name? She really didn't see what he might see in this place that he wasn't willing to move somewhere else.
Whatever she said, Icepaw wasn't going to listen. There was no way she could do this herself, but she couldn't expect help from him, and if he wouldn't help her, his Clan wouldn't either. Whatever he said, they weren't Clan cats like she knew, and probably didn't know to much about being warriors. They would go along with whatever Icepaw said because he was their leader.
"I don't know what your problem is, Icepaw, but it isn't one I can fix" Ravenpaw said rather coldly, then she jumped down and walked off a bit, laying down under a tree and looking around, wondering what she was going to do about Icepaw.
