New Deputy

[Hawkface]

A massive silver tom leaped apron the great Wind stone, his old features gone. There was something new about him either then he was leader, he was.... younger? All his dulling gray fur, hard eyes, and even the scar across his right eye was fading. But most of all the nine lives made him 9 lives younger as well as now he could see through his right eye! He looked like he was just made a new warrior so many many moons ago. But now he had to take leadership and solve out his Clan as once his father's father had and his once great sister had, now it was his turn to pick someone to carry on the name. There was only one cat he would always trust no matter what with his life, one cat he greatly loved as much as his sister and mate. This one cat as just like him, strong and wise. A Blue Rose. Shaking the first of frost off of his coat and gazing down at camp."Cats of WindClan come before me under our great Wind Stone so Star Clan can approve of my choice!" Yowling the words that seemed to echo into the great plains of WindClan and maybe even further. Smirking a little at the cats before him, he gazed at his daughter, he looked as though he was just as young as her maybe three moons older or so. Youth was on his side now though all the things he had done and saw aged him from the inside, from he heart."I say these words before our ancestors of Star Clan, so the deputies before our time spirits can hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of WindClan will be...-" Gazing around the bunch of cats under him, under the great Wind stone. Hawkstar was his new name and it was time to give his old name to his own kin, at least now he was sane when he made this most powerful choice."Ripplesteam!"

Rabbitstep, Shinepelt, Wildjolt, Disappearvoid, and Smallpaw all yowled in approval to the new deputy and sang out 'Ripplestream!"

Tigerlily purred as she stood in the nursery entrance with her kits yowling in approvement at the choice.

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Rippledstream stood in the clearing, speechless. When she'd regained control of her thoughts she looked up at her father and smiled, dipping her head obiediently. "I promise to serve and protect WindClan and you, Hawkstar, even if it costs me my life" she vowed, her blue/green eyes flashing with determination. The position of leader and deputy had been within her kin's name for a very long time. It no longer seemed to be random, it seemed to have been meant to be. She smiled, turning to face her clan mates, dipping her head to them.

Risingdawn watched on happily, feeling her sister's pride. But what she lacked was her own happiness. Her kits and mate had left to ThunderClan where they where safe from harm. She had to carry out being medicine cat on her own.

Jadeflight purred, watching her mate appoint their daughter as deputy. He had changed so much on his trip to the moonstone. It looked as though she where his mother and he her son more then them being mates. All his silver fur had dulled back to it's original colour. She sighed, wishing she could be gifted by being youthful once more.

Lavenderfoot snorted," Why does Hawkstar care about Starclan accepting his choice? He killed his own leader, sister!" She snarled under her breath. She smiled at Risingdawn and passed her a sympethetic glance. She smiled at Rippledstream and yowled her name," Rippledstream! Rippledstream!" She smiled and looked around at the cats of Windclan, were they all blind?!


Heatherfrost stood beside her mother, her icy blue gaze drifted on her former mentor and leader, why was he wishing for Starclan's acceptence when he had done so many evil things and not cared about Starclan?! She smiled at Rippledstream and yowled," Rippledstream! Rippledstream!" With her mother.


Wingpaw looked up, expecting to be made a warrior, after all she was older than Lunarpaw and his littermates and they were all made warriors. She smiled weakly and yowled Rippledstream's name.

* Wingpaw needs to be made a warrior and her name will be Wingshadow! *

[Hawkface]

"Oh and that reminds me there is a new warrior joining us today as well, she has trained hard and deserves this new name!" Announcing Wingpaw all over the WindClan camp with a bright and happy smile for the she-cat."I hope your mentor is very satisfied with my choice..." Breathing in the words with a big smile then gazing at Wingpaw before him."I Hawkstar, leader of WindClan call upon our warrior ancestors to look down on this. She has trained very to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a new warrior of WindClan!" Glancing at Wingpaw, seeing that her whole body was shaking with excitement."Wingpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your own life?" Now a serious expression shifted to the massive silver tom as he smiled with those simple words."I do." Touching noses with the she-cat with a broad smile then standing up on two fours with a echoing voice."Then by the power of vested in StarClan I give you your warrior name. Wingpaw, from now on you'll be known as Wingshadow! WindClan welcomes you as a full warrior..." Coming down on all fours on the Wind Stone with his massive paws spiting dust into the air as he chanted his daughters name and this apprentice's name. Then twisting his gaze at Ripplestream knowing that everything great comes with a cost wit only a whisper she could hear."Meet me in my den, I have a special mission for you..."

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

Lavenderfoot called out Wingshadow's name happily, wishing her mother, Birsong, had been here to greet her daughter as a new warrior. She smiled and padded up to Wingshadow, licking her ear swiftly," Congrats!"


Heatherfrost smiled and jumped around happily," Wingshadow! Wingshadow!" She padded over to her and licked her nose happily. Wingshadow had been a great help to her while she had her broken paw.


Wingshadow smiled, excitement flooding from her pelt, while Hawkstar was evil, he was still using the ceremonies... weird. She thought to herself. She smiled and looked around for Lunerstrike (?).

[.:Rippledstream:.]

Rippledstream nodded slightly as her father gave her the order. She slipped through the group of cats, stopping in front of Wingshadow. "Congrats!" she purred "I have no doubt you'll make WindClan proud" she complimented, licking the younger she-cat's ear swiftly before padding away to the leader's den.

(Hey im back from tmis and can Smallpaw be a warrior to? Hes just as old as Wingshadow)

[xXx.R.i.p.p.l.e.s.t.a.r.xXx]

(true, welcome back)

[.:Icey:.]

In the entire clearing only one pair of yellow eyes once filled with determination, loyalty and passion had now faded away. Only to be filled with hate, defeat and betrayl. His heart which had been proved of a great warrior was now hateful. His gray pelt mattered with dust and blood. Scars lay bare across his pelt. His eyes gloomy showing no hope or light they had once had. He sat there looking defeated and not the strong warrior he had been. Ashfoot sat alone glarring at the one cat who had ruined his life, who had killed his true love, his mate, stole his sons future and destroyed the once deeply loyal clan to follow a leader with temptations a warrior shouldnt have. Ashfoots friendship with Hawkstar had died away in the wind, he was now an enemy for life. Ashfoot did not chant Ripplestreams name, he did not sit there prould at his new deputy or leader. He did not welcome the new warrior. He only sat there looking at Hawkstar, knowing that some time or another Hawkstar would exile or kill him. Ashfoot didnt know where his loyaties lay, not with Hawkstar or his new deputy. He didnt care what happened to himself evern if the blood was drained from his vains he didnt care he only cared for his kits future one had already been taken he wouldnt allow this to happen to the rest. He would maybe even try to save his son. Ashfoot sighed in frustration he sat up, lifting his head and muttered a little loudly, louder than he should. "How can you follow such a sickminded freak of a leader"he growled.
