Blizzardfoot gathered around the Streamstone once more. It was only a few sunrises since Russetstar himself became a leader, and what was he doing...?
Oh, that's right. the molly thought, bobbing her head when Blackgaze's name was called in front of the Streamstone. There's a new deputy! Her tail flicked with the excitement, and she excitedly shouted the high rank's name, with budding pride.
She didn't wish to become deputy herself. How stressful would it be, to rule over this large clan of cats? To make decisions that everyone must follow? To stand on that high, smooth, eroded rock and conduct ceremonies for kits and apprentices? It was a responsibility that she wasn't willing to face. Blackgaze would become an excellent deputy, better than most of RiverClan's warriors.
Waspwhisker would've loved to become deputy. she believed, thinking of her littermate. I wonder where he is now.
