Farewell to the Moonstone

[Hiddenstar]

The beautiful tortoiseshell leader stepped upon the large fallen oak tree, giving out the signal to all of her Clan below herself: “All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather below the fallen oak, for a Clan announcement!”

Her meow rang throughout the clearing, sharp, crisp, and full of delight in a some-what purring stature of claming toward them. With her eyes as soft as the petals of a red, red rose, she glanced down at the gathering cats and began her short, and yet swift, speech to them all.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

“It has not even passed one moon since the terrible death of our former leader, Swiftstar*, whom passed away luckily in his dreams. And it is my right, as your deputy now, to take on the roll as your next leader. For this I will travel, tonight, to the Moonstone and share dreams with StarClan to receive my nine lives. With me only one cat will go – Shatteredhope. Meanwhile, as it was the honor and privilege let down and down by my ancestors Deadfoot and Flateface, I shall give you a new deputy before moonhigh, as the old traditions of the forest go, even before the old days of Tallstar the Grand. My choice as your deputy has proven herself worthy of the position, a great mentor to her older apprentice, rest her soul within you above, StarClan, and is the one that StarClan have chosen. Your new deputy shall be Glisteningleaf. Now, my duties finished here, she will be remained here at camp to guard and order out patrols as I take my leave. I shall return tomorrow, a new cat and a brave leader for you all.”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finished with that, she gave a dip of her head in respect for her fellow felines and took her steps down from the broken tree as she padded out of the clearing swiftly. She could not bear to take her time tonight. The night was beginning to be cloudy, not a very good sign, and if she were to make it on time she must hurry quickly now!

* this name was given to me by Streamy. Thank-Ye sooo much for helping me out! :D

Ashpaw's heart filled with sorrow from the terrible news and he swayed, barely manage to keep his paws on the ground. Swiftstar had been an inspiration, a legend ... he couldn't be dead ! He knew Hiddenpelt was going to be a great leader, but this was the end of a wonderful era in WindClan.


( I know, terrible post, but Im in a hurry ! )

Glistening leaf padded in and almost fell over from the shock of being chosen. She sat down and closed her eyes, stableing her body. "Wow! What an honor." She whispered to herself. She opened her eyes and her eyes shone for a moment and then they darkened at the thought of Swiftstar and his death.

So I shall travel to the Moonstone, was the thoughts that invaded the skies and the spirits rejoiced. Shadows littered the gathering area beneath the Fallen Oak, and her misted gaze flitted around, locating each one of them. None of them were black. That was good. The lithe she-cat narrowed her eyes, blinking throught startlingly beautiful midnight-blue eyes as she stared ahead at the dark tortie form of her newest leader. Hiddenstar, she thought to herself, narrowing her eyes, figurative brows furrowed with wonder. Such a strange and unique name for a leader. I wonder what StarClan have planned for this cat. She didn't really care whether most cats thought she was insane, she had proved to be a great MedicineCat by predicting the death of Tallstar, after her mentor - Barkface - had passed on during her MedicineCat Ceremony. Most cats thought that she was insane. It almost made her feel giddy. She stood up, silver-black-and-cinnamon fur shining in the light of the rising moon, lighting up and looking like a dazzling star. "Meet me at my den entrance, Hiddenpelt," she declared, nodding her head. "I need to gather the herbs I am to eat. You however, cannot eat, I'm sorry to say."
