Date: 2nd of December 2017 The final gathering of leafbare was peaceful, all things considered. Cats were given time to socialize before the leaders spoke. Minkpaw, an AirClan apprentice, had an anxiety attack, but was treated by Hawkfeather and will recover. The 4 leaders announced births and apprenticeships. FireClan is the only Clan with borders remaining open. What do Closed Borders Mean?Closed borders is not the same as the usual state of borders, despite its vague sounding difference. Under normal situations, cats needing to deliver messages to other Clans may cross borders and head straight for the camp of the Clan they need to visit. It is polite to wait at the border for a patrol, but under dire circumstances the border may be crossed and the cats are typically not punished. (The leader they visit may express their not liking how the border was crossed but often will not punish the cats that crossed it). Medicine cats also would cross or meet at borders frequently to share herbs and make trades, as well as going to other Clans' camps to request help or provide aid.

Date: 25th of November 2017 The height of leafbare has passed and soon cats will notice warmer weather coming. Before the Gathering, the medicine cats traveled to the Moonpeak and received a vision: a flower, a pine needle, a feather, and a leaf, swirling peacefully together on the Loch. They were suddenly drawn away by a violent current towards the 4 Clan territories. The sky over the Loch grew dark and the stars faded. The medicine cats returned home to ponder what this meant… At the Gathering, Ivystar of WaterClan brazenly accused FireClan of being a weak Clan of rogues and caused Jaguarstar to lose a life by throwing her off the Cairn. This threw all 4 Clans into a massive battle. Many cats were injured or killed, either by other cats or due to slipping on the icy rocks. The battle was only ended with the appearance of the Northern Lights. Whitethroat of AirClan climbed the Cairn and called down to the Clans to stop the fighting. The 4 Clans have now returned home to lick their wounds and regroup. The future of the Clans is now uncertain. There is fighting in EarthClan and tension between Heronstar and Flowertail, her deputy. AirClan cats are wondering if their alliance with Ivystar will remain. FireClan has been accused of being weak and not all cats know if they can look to Jaguarstar for protection. The Clans will begin to fall into a period of isolationism. Remembering the FallenHeronstar and Ivystar fought and Heronstar also lost a life.
