That was it, the sound of waves lapping at the shore below while the salty breeze clashed with the surrounding atmosphere. Before the gathering storm it had been a place of peace, a place where the deputy found herself at peace with what she was. But now snapshots of the gathering flashed through her eyes as she faced the sun. This was all such a mistake, please I can’t do this driftingstorm. she thought briefly glancing up at the sky longingly. Streaks of brilliant purple and orange danced across the darkening sky with such vibrancy that surely caught the eye of all who glanced upon it. One day she would be up there watching the clans make their mistakes.

The cream and ginger spotted molly was seated upon riverclan a pedistal. Yes it belonged to fallenstar but she had guessed the best view of the vast ocean from this height was worth climbing up too. And she had been right. She had already seen the body and took careful consideration to pull it back to thunderclan herself and express how riverclan grieved for the lost life- but she had thought better and pulled it off the the side from beneath the tree branch groomed the toms fur and was to wait til nightfall. There she would wait for the stars to peek out of the clouds and for a brief moment she would share tongues with a warrior she didn’t know, who had died for a greater cause, if thunderclan sent no cat to gather the cat she would. After the sun began to sink behind the crashing waves she turned her head over her shoulder locking into the deceased warriors body. “I’m so sorry, this shouldn’t have happened. Only for nothing be fixed” gracefully the riverclan deputy leapt down from the pedistal and teetered towards the body. Everything had become an increasingly difficult task to accomplish with her pregnancy. Now stalking through the shade the queen approached the body, bending to give the deceased toms ears a lick before she heard somebody approaching. She didn’t see anybody and with the recent mingled scents of many clan mates and even the storms scent lingered. Even the singed fur of the fallen thunderclan warrior was overwhelming. Stiffening up the deputy stood puffing out her chest and flexing her claws within their seathes. “Who’s there?” she said in a demanding voice unlike normal daisyshade, the normal riverclan warrior, no it sounded like rowanflower the riverclan deputy.

"i am powdernose, deputy of thunderclan." he forced a low tone to his voice as he spoke. you sound pathetic. powdernose shoved away the thought within his mind, ears flattening. "i have come to find the fallen warrior." tail lashing, the siamese sat down. riverclan. they're our allies. stop being so rude. he sighed.

As the Siamese tom slid out into the open her tail fell by her legs gently waving side to side as she stood by the groomed warrior. She had kinda expected a few apprentices but she was quite amused by the tom cat who seemed to be putting up s front. The small ginger spotted tabby sat down sweeping her tail around her paws and siting upright with glistening eyes of amusement. His voice was deeper than she had expected but what he said shocked her even more. Snowstar is gone? the she cat blinked a few times than looked down at her paws for a moment. A new deputy had joined them, how weird it was that buttercupbteeze and herself where new and than there was a third. There was so much resignation lately. The cream and ginger cat let out a deep sigh. “Rowanflower, riverclan s deputy” she returned mildly. There was no hostility in her voice, rather a loving acceptance of a mother. ”Congratulations, you like like your fairing well” She cast another side glance to the fallen warrior and let out a hefty sigh “I had come to do the same thing” she said blinking a few times. The shock of a new deputy and not knowing exactly what happened to Snowstar was even more disturbing to her. “Excuse me but I hope you don’t mind me asking what happened to Snowstar? Please don’t tell me it was the gathering battle” if it had been, there was two lives gone. Perhaps more she was unaware of- why hadn’t fallenstar he led if it was a thunderclan messenger. Her belly churned, she expected half of it was the other leaders fault too. The she cats tail twitched on Discomfort.

"ah, snowstar. well, she resigned due to stress, i believe." he lowered his head. "i'm not exactly sure." tail puffing out, powdernose padded closer to the fallen warrior, pressing his nose to their icy flesh. "we should bury them, in the middle of the territories." his normally bright eyes were a dull blue in color, whiskers twitching as he looked upon the lifeless body.

She could see the pain in the deputy’s eyes and she fluffed up her own fur before turning and giving her shoulder a lick. All the deputies and leaders she had known where tough on the exterior, she liked them of course except for Blazingstar which she had briefly met the other day. He made her feel uncomfortable in her own skin despite knowing there was nothing really wrong with him, it was most likely just in her mind anyways. Despite the tough exteriors of other deputies and leaders, Powdernose seemed like the kind of gentle deputy, unlike others. He was careful and passionate, why else would he had come to see the fallen thunderclan tom. “Fallenstar was the same, I mean he kinda still is the same” she corrected herself letting her tail lash a few times with an exhausted sigh. Fallenstar hated her, starclan the way he would glare and flex his claws. A shiver clawed it’s way up her back and she sucked a hard breath in. “I’ll assure you passionstar must have high hopes, you will not dispoint him I’m sure of it” she said with an affectionate and encouraging glance that seemed too friendly for the regular deputy to deputy talk. She glanced upwards at the darkening stars and she blinked her eyes shut for a moment “do you ever think starclan made the wrong choice. He needn’t die a death to prove a point let alone the clans let this all fall between our paws” she asked not looking back at him rather stare up into the sky, the flickering stars blinking back at her. Traitors.
