High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Fallownose followed along silently behind Twilightstar as she led WindClan to the sandy beach where the Clans gathered every moon. Or at least it was usually every moon, though there had been no Gatherings the past two. The tall tom wouldn't be surprised if there was chaos because every Clan had much news to share, some good and some bad. The announcement that WindClan was breaking the alliance with RiverClan worried him most, especially since it was hard to predict how Skystar would react.

The scent of RiverClan drifted across the WindClan deputy's tongue as the group of cats padded onto the shore. A glance at the Seastone showed Twilightstar making her way up to sit beside Sky- no. It was... Snowleap? Had RiverClan really lost another leader so soon, or was Snowleap only filling in? The presence of a large dark gray she-cat on the stone where the deputies sat told Fallownose that Snowleap must indeed be the leader of RiverClan now. Was ThunderClan going to walk in next with Sparrowflight jumping onto the Seastone and a new deputy instead of Cinderstar?

Fallownose already felt a headache forming as he made his way over to where the RiverClan deputy was sitting. His long legs allowed him to leap onto the stone easily, and he gave a nod of greeting to the molly as he sat. "Greetings," he said simply, eyes scanning over the crowd of cats as the two Clans began to mingle. It felt weird to be the most senior deputy, though he had held the position for nearly six moons. Hopefully, these ones would last longer and not become leaders too quickly. Inexperience never led to good things, though hopefully, Snowleap would manage to pull through.
