DO NOT MENTION OCCULTATION!!
AFTER THIS POST FADING LEFT.


Event [#event]

Where was the point when it had all gone wrong? Was it Fogmuzzle's death, or something before that?

That had been the question burning in his mind for some time now. The more he thought about it all, the more guilty he felt. It was like discovering the new camp and going to the Gathering had been a switch for him; something that had jerked him out of the weird, foggy, darkened state of mind he'd been in ever since becoming leader.

"Start by actually havin' faith in them."

Dusklion's words rang in his mind as he went to sit in the middle of the clearing. Once, a long time ago, protecting cats had meant something different. It had meant holding those around him accountable, but it hadn't meant acting callous. Once, he'd dreamed of creating a RiverClan where the rhetoric was stable, loyal, and community-focused.

That wasn't where things were. Maybe they could get there; hopefully this could be the start.

"RiverClan!" he called. His tone lacked its usual punchy confidence, only instead ringing of regret and exhaustion. "There have been some... conversations happening behind the scenes that have made me wake up to the fact that the rhetoric around here has gotten, to be blunt, absurd and extreme. I've allowed myself to stay caught in a cycle of fostering misery and infighting instead of prosperity and glory.

"It's become clear to me that many things need to change. What I'm focusing on, how I'm handling authority and discipline, it needs to shift. I've spent so much time focusing on the bad that I've allowed myself to lose faith in cats who don't deserve to be cast aside and disregarded. I've spent so much time insisting on going my own way that others' opinions have fallen too much to the wayside."


This was probably one of the hardest speeches he'd ever had to give, but it had to be done. "I know some of you don't believe that I'm genuine in what I'm saying, but I will prove to you that I mean what I say. That's why I'm taking these first steps.

"For starters, there will be no more restrictions on warriors going to the Clan borders alone. This Clan has more than earned that right back, and I appreciate everyone refraining from getting themselves into trouble with the other Clans. I still want apprentices staying in camp unless they're with a warrior, for their own safety. Second, there will be no further threats of execution for revealing information about our new camp or about Mistyshard. Threatening execution for that was... a severe error on my part. Instead of trying to keep cats down with threats, I should be leading efforts to be ready for if information ends up getting leaked. If someone does end up leaking sensitive information, I will work with Dusklion and the Lionhearts to determine an appropriate course of action."


Curling his tail around his paws, he finished, "Now I want to hear from the cats in this Clan. What other aspects of RiverClan, of my leadership, do you want to see change? I want to have a constructive conversation here, so please, any and all points of criticism are welcome. I know some of you don't trust that I won't get angry, or that I won't threaten to throw you out, but please, if you feel that way, stick around and at least see how this goes."

[ Any and all RiverClan cats are free to offer their two cents! No punishments will be given; this is an open forum, so cats are encouraged and welcome to speak their mind. I'll allow for a few days for people to post before posting again :heartbounce: ]

“I can fix her!”

Adderstrike was grooming herself and making sure her fur was nice and neat. She only ever made sure it was clean, but not styled in a tame manner... Ever. Before she could make any headway in making her fur not look like she was the wild chat she was, a shout rang out and Adderstrike felt dread. Meeting seemed to always bring that to her nowadays and she wasn't ready for this one either.

Fearful Adderstrike listened to what Fadingstar was saying. Listening to his words and the sincerity in them made her feel a little at ease but she had all but lost faith in Fadingstar to be someone to be trusted. Respect either. Only someone to be fear for execution from saying the wrong words. Had he fully gone that far? No, but she wasn't going to put her life on the line to test his patience. She didn't want to become the example of how far his bloodthrist went. But despite all of that Adderstrike pushed herself forwards while her heart pounded in her throat, fearing she was facing the reaper despite what he said.

"Fadingstar..." She stared before looking back to the others to see if they were going to speak up their grievances as well. Then she slowly looked back to her leader with her head held low and her tail curling underneath her. "I stopped trying to talk to you, basically I wanted to keep quiet to how I was feeling in fear that you would kill me just for saying the wrong words. Even now I'm a bit scared to admit to anything to you, but it made me question clan life if even in our own home we couldn't be safe and I couldn't say anything to you to change how you were acting. I could never bear to go to another clan so I would have gone off to the unknown myself."

"Honestly, starting to feel like I was disillusion thinking I could do anything to change the path of this river."

Dusklion - RiverClan Deputy

She was tired. It showed in the way her eyes were half-lidded as she approached Fadingstar and his call to summon the Clan. She stayed on the outskirts of the Clan, simply taking a seat and settling her blue gaze on him. As far as she was concerned, Dusklion had said all she needed to. Now, all she wanted to see was change. Actual, real, tangible change. If not, she would be taking matters into her own paws.

...Stars, it hurt to even consider that, so the gray-furred she-cat ducked her head to hide the pain in her eyes as she gave her chest fur a few swift licks. Still though she kept her ears perked for others that would come to share their thoughts. Adds, of course, was among the first, and she lifted her head to look at her. Tinytoad was a bit more... hmm... She didn't necessarily agree with the retreating being a bad idea (considering they would've been slaughtered if they hadn't)...

...Still, she remained silent.

FLOWERHUNTER
He/Him | Longhaired white and cream cat, blue eyes and belly scarring.



Flowerhunter was lingering in the area. Sticking to his own activities such as bug hunting and resting around camp. Normally he was chipper! One of the happier cats in the clan, but recently it had been a struggle, alas…that was an issue for future Flower. The tom remains quiet as the Leader speaks words of improvement. Those very words were the ones Flowerhunter doubted. He sighs to himself, nodding slowly as the black and ginger cat finishes up his speech of sorts and calls for suggestions.

Stars, it killed Flower that the first ones that filled his mind were to tell the cat to step down. Flowerhunter is still quiet, others speaking before he got the chance. But that gave him the opportunity to think it over…no punishment seemed very off coming from the cat who threatened death to anyone who even seemed to breathe at him incorrectly. Dusklion…she was here. The Warrior flicks his tail towards her as a very distant greeting. [ @taillow - quick thing to dusk ]

Ah. It was his chance to speak, no going back now was there, eh?

Mate. I think you’re done… You’ve been the…cause-…the reason behind so many deaths. Our home was destroyed by three clans because you couldn’t get yourself together. You don’t have much support here, your deputy on the other paw? She gets things done, she’s changing this clan in ways that I had hope that you would do. Instead you spark outrage, causin’ trouble wherever you tread. To put it simply, you rely so much on your wits and yet we are the ones who die for it. Step down , Fadingstar. That’s my call you, mate…that’s my honest suggestion. If you really want to see improvements around this place….if you care about the rest of us….then resign.

Flowerhunter’s tone is far from cheery, it’s frustrated and strained at points. Longhaired tom ending his statement with another sigh. One of relief. He didn’t regret it, no. He wouldn’t regret placing them before his own ideas of purity. The Warrior stares at Fadingstar, waiting to hear any sort of rebuttal to his words. Class digging into the earth where he stood among the crowd, expression a weary one.

— STAGHEART —

very large, muscular, & scarred light brown tabby tom with stark blue eyes and a torn ear; killer aptitude 3 | just a scratch

[ riverclan warrior | tomcat | 53 moons | gruff & battle-hardened, yet thoughtful; loyal to a fault ]


Stagheart arrived promptly for the meeting's call. He settled himself down towards the outskirts of it, his piercing blue eyes scanning the assembled cats. Fadingstar was seeming reasonable and approachable about the situation, apologizing where it was due and now offering comments.

The large warrior settled on his haunches, eyes narrowed thoughtfully. Did he have any thoughts about this...? Honestly, not really anything worth saying that others wouldn't likely say right away. At least, not yet. He was more of a listener and observer than a commenter. He'd tune his ears to hear what others had to say first; there were always cats who'd jumped at the first opportunity to yowl their opinions.

Besides that, Stag had faith in his leadership. Maybe to a fault. Between Dusklion and Fadingstar's heads — although they'd seemed to butt heads — he thought RiverClan was rebuilding after all they'd been through. And he just did as he was told in helping with that.

That Flowerhunter... talking about resigning? That seemed extreme. And it wasn't exactly like the raid had been Fadingstar's fault; the culmination of fish-brained actions of their Clanmates sort of kickstarted that. He narrowed his eyes a bit but didn't speak, not now. He took awhile to think before he spoke, and some other cat would be interjecting by the time he'd compiled his thoughts together.

Deciding to keep quiet for now (unless he thought of something new to add), the older warrior sniffed, eyes flicking between the speakers. He noted the deputy hanging off to the side, looking tired and... quiet. Simply listening, like him, though she had a whole other weight about it. He wondered what was going through her head... and Fadingstar's, as the voices and comments started to roll in like waves crashing along the Seastones.


| BERRYPAW |

small & nimble dark brown she-cat with darker flecks and light, leafy-green eyes | the collector

[ riverclan mc apprentice | she-cat | 11 moons | timid, kind, hardworking ]


Oh... thoughts? Criticisms? Berrypaw didn't really have a lot of those about the situation... both Fadingstar and Dusklion had been really nice to her, making her feel welcomed and held afloat as she had entered this new realm of responsibility. Besides, even if she did have a strong opinion... the nimble, dark-brown feline would likely be way too intimidated to squeak out a word. And to be honest, a lot of this went over her head (in the innocent sort of way, not that she didn't understand what was going on).

Instead of speaking anything, she simply settled next to Stagheart, her ears flattened a bit. It didn't take a genius to see the tension in the Clan; a pure fish-brain could've detected it. But it didn't make it easy to deal with, especially after all that had happened. Keeping her eyes on the grass, Berrypaw's ears were perked up, listening along, her paws shuffling a bit nervously.

This... announcement... was anything but expected to say the least. Quite frankly, Larkwing never thought she'd see the day where Fadingstar was asking for feedback in a way that made her think he was being genuine. Was he? Hard to say. Normally Larkwing could tell when someone was talking out of their ass, but with Fadingstar? Well... maybe it was less that she wasn't able to and more that she didn't want to think him capable of just spewing hot air.

There were... several things she could say. But did she want to say them? She'd kept to herself about her thoughts on Fadingstar's leadership, only too aware of her place in this clan, his subordinate, a mere warrior who once had the world. A reversal of roles. She knew what it looked like to crack under the strain of it all. She'd been there before. But she could not bring herself to speak now, even when invited to do so under the guise of open ears, of no questions asked nor any punishments. She just didn't believe that to be true.

Skeptical was the only term to describe Sedgeflake as Fadingstar spoke. It reminded him of that meeting - how convincing and charismatic their dear leader was, until one looked beneath the surface.

Given the past - the several threats - the actual deaths from words alone, and the favoritism they witnessed during the Dusk Trials, he was not about to bring attention to himself by speaking. Let the others cast their stones and see what befell them; only then would it determine where he set his. For his worry, something that no words could assuage, was those who spoke would end up in a pool of blood as shown before.

What more was there to say? Cats were speaking out, they had opinions long buried for Fadingstar to hear. Wisteriawren simply appeared to view the proceedings. She'd rather sit silently in a corner of the clearing alone and listen to the discussion. There was not much she had to pitch right now anyway. She'd only barely begun to live in RiverClan when everything had gone awry again and again and again. The question was, how did RiverClan intend to fix that?

The silver molly was silent. There was simply nothing to say, but just wait to see if words will be kept for the promises that were made. Was it too much to expect a change over night? Perhaps. But there's always hope for everything...right? But hope was feeble like the leaves holding onto the tree in an autumn breeze. She made herself a comfortable spot near the edge of the meeting, watching it play out. Her head raised to Fadingstar before looking around at the cats that just joined in.

Re: RiverClan Open Forum [All cats welcome!]
 
Fishpaw stood there, effortlessly, listening to all of the cats thoughts, sure it was true that fadingstar got them into some bull crap, but leaders make mistakes, it's just that hearing everyone speaking badly made fishpaw's opinion go out of her head, and into her mouth, turning into words. "Sure i get that we got kicked out of the clans because of you, but leaders made mistakes, i dont want you to leave, i forgive you. You have been nice to me. I just think we could improve some...with like.....thinking before you act or speak. Dusklion is a good deputy trust me, but i think your a greater leader. Our clan needs to stay together, we do not need a new leader." Fishpaw said as she shot some looks to cats she was specifically talking about in that jumble of words. She had done her deed and she sat back down, alone.

The twins exchanged a glance neither quite sure how to respond. Rainpaw certainly felt she was in no position to speak up. She spotted Floodsight, and tapped her sister's shoulder with a paw. Angling an ear to point her out. The sisters nodded and were making their way over, when Rainpaw spotted Berrypaw and saw her eyes busy with whirling thoughts. Rainpaw hesitated before slinking over to Berrypaw's side, tilting her head to try and catch her gaze and give her an encouraging, warm smile.

[ @squidz - Berrypaw]


Ravenpaw didn't notice Rainpaw wasn't next to her until she was already sitting next to Floodsight, but when she saw her trying to offer comfort to her friend Ravenpaw simply shrugged. The mostly black she-cat glanced at Floodsight with concern, she was very worried about the direction this meeting might take. Given how Duskleaf's "trial" had gotten so...heated. She wasn't confident that trouble wouldn't break out. She wasn't confident that her own mentor, Redmire, wouldn't be at the center of trouble breaking out. She loved Redmire's spirit, but sometimes worried her mouth would get her into more trouble than it was worth.

Ravenpaw preferred sitting quietly in the shadows for this one, observing. She knew she'd be safe with Floodsight there, and she could keep an eye on her sister in case tensions get too high. The young she-cat kept her ears pricked forward, eyes narrowed. Alert and focused as though searching for prey, but this time searching for any signs of trouble.

This was a bad idea. A trap was all Redmire could think of, a way to lure out those dissatisfied and willing to express it so that Fadingstar could do away with them in secret; maybe her specifically, given that fact she always seemed to be the loudest in speaking up about anything.

But for now? She skirted her way to a spot near Dusklion and kept her mouth shut. Nothing good would come of anything if she got herself killed. While she was actually silent for once, her expression and restless tail as she stared at him said everything she was thinking: resentment, distrust, and a healthy dose of apprehension.

He looked up to his leader as the powerful tom spoke. Their…opinions? What in the rats ass was happening here? He opened his mouth to speak but- he spotted RedMire. He was sure that the warrior would have plenty to say to him, despite if it was right or wrong…but she remained silent. He waited a few moments before closing his muzzle. That was probably the wisest choice. He didn’t want FadingStar to think he was completely against the tom and his leadership. He wasn’t. He could understand the potential confusion and having to please a whole clan, he simply didn’t agree with that Fades was doing about it.

She watched as more cats padded in the growing sea of fur that was forming rather rapidly. Her blue eyes catches onto the two sister who seemed to be on better terms than the last time she saw them. Not talking but still together. It brought her some peace of mind at least. "Hey there, little ones."

And then more warriors began to pour in, and in particular, her eyes followed both Redmire and Rowanmane as they sat, the former rather quietly. Sort of unusual. Her attention turned to the Rowanmane and commented with a soft, but flat, voice. "It seems no meeting lately has gone without an argument breaking out. I hope that changes today..."

Dusklion - RiverClan Deputy

More cats shared their opinions. Flowerhunter, who quite frankly surprised her considering Dusklion had seen how sweet and light the tom usually was. Most cats remained silent however, some opening their maws to speak before closing them. It... it broke her heart. They were scared to speak. To state their opinions. Shuffling her paws the deputy glanced once more towards her brother, her gaze hardening ever so slightly, before relaxing. Part of her blamed herself for this, for the way the Clan was acting now - scared like they weren't battle-hardened warriors.

Fishpaw's voice caught her attention, and Dusklion was quick to jump in at that. "No, he had no part in that outside of perhaps... not smoothin' over tensions when needed." It was the first time she had spoken. Fadingstar had made a lot of mistakes - a lot - but even so she would not allow the Clan to forget the reason they were driven out. She leveled her gaze at the apprentice, then looked at her brother, but said nothing more. Night would be a better time to ruminate over "good" whereas this apprentice saw Fadingstar as "great".

She glanced over as Redmire joined her, watching the she-cat wordlessly. She was surprised the spitfire didn't have much to say, but perhaps like her she was just simply watching and waiting. Dusklion simply acknowledged her with a blink before looking back at Fadingstar.

Waterlily
Riverclan Elder | She/Her | 134 Moons


Waterlily was..... well to be honest Waterlily was a single too hard sneeze from death.


The elder was an adult when Twilightstar became a warrior, much less leader and had lived through far too many leaderships to even bother remembering a lot of her clanmates when their faces changed so much. Lives came and went, it was how it was and a miracle the old queen got so far and now? Well even she knew this was probably the last leafbare she'd see.


That hardly meant she was just laying down and giving up however.


Waterlily had wanted to spend her last years basking in the sun, rewarded for her hard life by pampering and instead had met HELL. Riverclan, the clan of plenty had been kicked around and torn apart because of poor leadership and the elders 'reward' had turned into another trial. And now, here was Fadingstar whining about being disliked for his own actions and making a blatant desperate bid to stay in power.


If Fadingstar thought he could suck up to the clan and make hollow apologies that fixed nothing of what was done wrong in the past then not make real changes he had another thing coming.




Snapping at a nearby Sedgeflake to help her up from her nest and be her crutch as she hobbled into the clearing (ears pinning furiously that she needed that at all, even if it was better then being carried) the elder watched for a few moment the cats who'd gathered to speak. A few already ripping into the leader but more disconcertingly more staying silent out of obvious fear what the reaction would be. Well they for sure wouldnt be after Waterlily said her peace, if Fadingstar dared to lash out against a elder he'd be facing consequences and its not like Waterlily had much to lose after all. If she died it was simply her time, either she'd prove them right in their worries or spark them to find their voice. Hopefully.



"What is it Fadingstar, did the fact that no one here is happy finally break through your thick skull and enlighten you to reality!?"


A bold start but it'd get worse, the topics all related to Fadingstars reign but meandering, perhaps a byproduct of Waterlily's advanced age and failing body. Well it certainly hadnt failed enough for this, and the elders voice was strong and clear and she ran through every one of her points.


"Honestly all your actions have done over the last few moons of your reign is cast in to doubt your name! Not long ago you came to us with the declaration that you've been granted the name Fadingstar and yet said nothing on if you've been granted leader lives to go along with that! After all this time and all that's occurred I think it is time to be open and honest with us boy, because who are we to trust you when ever starclan doesnt seem to after moons of you leading us.

Who granted leave to call yourself Fadingstar and do you have your leader lives at all? Id gather no given your cowardly actions to preserve your own skin in times of strife when a true leader would happily give their life for their clan!"


Her old voice cackled and broke, scraggly under the weight of age and ire as the molly steadily grew more and more enraged by airing the thoughts that'd been building for some time now. Had she been able as she once was she'd even be pacing, getting in the fool toms face but alas as it was she was weakened even beyond the norm by the taxing nature of Riverclans exile to do so.


"Ive noticed a rather sad trend with you, every time the going gets hard and our clan is forced to fight for their life it is not you saving the clan but rather you that needs to be saved. Excusable once but the trend is ongoing and shows you in poor light as a weak leader who fears for his death when leaders should fear least of all.


First there's the rogue situation when you were a deputy. You went off, alone, and got nearly killed by two rogues! You're a trained warrior, even against two you should've been able to at least hold your own until your 'saviors' came! Or better yet, there was no one to protect then, why not retreat and come back with reinforcements?! Instead you nearly died and required rescue and herbs to be used on you that could've helped others, as well as a leave from duty that Dusklion, as always, took the burden of.

Then there was our recent raid! You barely fought while others gave their all, I saw you little when you shouldve been the most active in fighting back! Then despite fighting fewer cats then a good few, a traitor apprentice scored a critical blow against you and blinded you, leaving Dusklion to ONCE AGAIN do your job! While you were lost stumbling around and being saved from a fox, someone else lead us to safety!

And that isnt even the end! Our most recent strife shows the same! Dogs are hard to defeat sure but not with an entire clan and trained warriors! But once again you get critically wounded, drawing fighters from the central battle to defend you and ferry you home like a sleeping kitten while others finish the job!


A leader doesnt need to defeat any foe but if ours gets taken down by every single enemy he comes across hes not a strong leader our young can look up to and other clans can respect but a liability!"
If Fadingstar didnt have strength of will and mind (and inner clan relations getting to this point cast doubt on those attributes) he needed physical strength to gain any respect at all. But with so much evidence he lacked that.... what did he really have? What did Wormbite even teach him about fighting like a warrior was supposed to!


"I can promise you Fadingstar, I have more thoughts to give but I, like many cats in the clan doubt your words and bond. We doubt you'll hear us out without responding with violence, scorn, and vengeance. We doubt you'll listen and not use this as an excuse to mark down your dissenters for quiet (or not) removal to maintain your rule. Above all we doubt you even care! After all this time of not listening or thinking about your clanmates even if you have changed all this rings of is a poor bid to stay in power and avoid the inevitable end hanging over your head!

Perhaps you may have inspired a child to faith but I, with no fear of death at my age, want you to see how much you've fractured any of us with experience! Do you seriously think a single listening session and some platitudes will fix that!"
Because Waterlily doubted anything Fadingstar could do would fix this. Cats were too afraid to even try with him, too wary and jaded so what could even be expected to come of this. Few could be honest with him anymore, and he was too blind to see a path to resolution, so the rot would remain, festering.

"Look. I couldnt give a damn who Riverclan's leader is. But when that leader starts lettin' the power of their role get to their head? Thats the que to step down. You dont do that, and eventually you'll be torn from the spot." Their amber eyes thinned the more they spoke.

"You want advice? Talk to your subjects, your clanmates more. I barely see you interact with anyone but your 'ranks.' No one's happy. We're all still on edge since the attack, but what're we supposed to do when the cat who's supposed to be our damn leader is bein' as sheltered as a turtle?"

With his grandmother giving her thoughts, and some other cats speaking up - Sedgeflake hesitated but decided to throw in his two cents. Worse came to worst, at least his granny could verbally decimate Fadingstar before they all died.

"... You've had at least two of our Clan-mates slaughtered for threats alone, yet when your favored--" His tail flicked toward Dusklion, and had Duskleaf been in sight he would've pointed him out too. "The Dusks, when they directly endangered our Clan you threw up half-assed votes. Execution wasn't on the table for them, despite their crimes being far greater. All it takes is WindClan deciding they want to finish the job - just on a whim! And they have our current location. A location we're STILL AT, despite all the rumors of moving!" A lash of his tail.

"I'm not saying to kill either. I think Dusklion has done more than any of you to prove her worth to the Clan... countless times over. But your inconsistency is damning, Fadingstar. You talked about how you didn't want one cat to threaten RiverClan’s stability but all YOU'VE been is that cat. The Clan calls you out on only voting for your favorites - your sister and your friend? You ignored us, canceled the vote and made your own choice. Where was the vote on Fogmuzzle, Thunderchaser? How many cats do we not know that you took care of without us knowing...? How many of the missing are lost to us, but not you?" A confrontation, in a way. Sedgeflake's heart was dying in his chest.

"You don't have trust because when it's given to you, you find ways to destroy it. I thought... I wanted desperately for you to be the leader to save us from this hellhole we've found ourselves, but for all your words your actions against the Clan have just made us feel like prisoners in our own home. I don't get you."

Several cats stayed silent, not that Redmire blamed them. More spoke out than she was expecting to. Her ears twitched as some old bag of bones launched into a verbal savaging of the tom. About damn time someone really got their claws into him!

With Waterlily's voice came another call for his resignation, and them Redmire watched Sedgeflake step forward. Anxiety twisted at her heart until she squashed it down. With how many were speaking up... Fadingstar couldn't so much as breathe wrong in any of their directions without someone taking notice, much less remove them from the equation. She gathered her words, set her jaw, and stepped up next to Sedgeflake.

"You've been so ridiculously inconsistent. You're unstable. You're incapable of sticking by a single decision you make, unless it involves the choice to kill someone for words and not for actually doing something to put all of us in danger." Dusklion and Duskleaf had both made dangerous choices, and they were still alive. Thunderchaser and Fogmuzzle? Dead for things they never even had the chance to act on.

"On top of it all, you're selfish. Whatever you are consisten on, it's only to benefit yourself. You say you care about RiverClan and that you want to stop anything from ever dragging us down again, but you're the one who's digging us a deeper hole, and not even with the other Clans - with ourselves!" For once, she was trying to reign herself in, but it was hard when everyone else had bolstered her confidence. "We can't speak or hardly even think without the threat of death hung over our heads. Every word out of our mouths could be our last because it triggered something in you, and we wouldn't even know it until it was too late. The cats you're supposed to protect are terrified of you. You asked for opinions? I think you're not a leader of RiverClan like you believe you are. You're a tyrant. What makes it worse is I don't even know if you know it, and if you don't, that's just far more terrifying."

Event [#event]


Waterlily
Riverclan Elder | She/Her | 134 Moons


Perhaps it was the support of her clanmates and kin, perhaps it was Fadingstars expression but Waterlily found a strange fury born strength to her right now. One that drew her to her paws, hauling her skinny bedraggled old body right up to the leader with a might she hadnt had since she waned from her prime. Once again she was Waterlily, who's ire was the terror of her clan and cowed many cats who could easily kill her today.

Snarling with ears pinned the elder stalked to the tom, spitting worlds like venom as she did.
"We get offered peace after all we suffered at the cost of letting go of grudges and yet you are so narrow minded you poke the damn bear that is the other clans and risk our lives, just because you cannot make a tactical choice and take it.

You treat your deputy who you were once so close to like dung, and dont think we cant see you snarl and scorn her when she actually grows, learns, and tries to fix her mistakes like you dont. Yet you give her all your duties and burdens at every turn like she's the leader not you.

You cannot keep consistent to you own decisions and go back on them the moment you get pushback, refusing both options of either being a cold but firm and strong leader OR being a considerate bendy but democratic one.


And I suppose worst of all youre directionless. I firmly believe you have no plan, no goals, not even a single idea of how to unite us and pull us out of this wreck, how to make us better then the rotting corpse of the might we once were. If you do have them youre certainly not sharing at least.
Fadingstar I declare that you are as your name is, Fading. A fading leader for the fading clan we've become who cannot comprehend how to be strong without picking fights despite that we cannot take anyone in a fight anymore."
The elder, a relict of the old times who'd lived through the entirety of Lionstars rule and all that came after him advances, pushing back Fadingstar in front of her. He could kill her with a hard shove, cast her aside with a word, but he didnt. It wasnt consideration, at least it didnt feel like it, and that only raised the elders fury more.



The riverclan leader had been back up to the edge of the new camp he'd taken no part in building when it all burst.
"REAL change is needed! You know this and yet here you are, clueless as how to proceed! The burden for this, for your solutions were never on us as YOU ARE THE LEADER!
At least you pretend to be.

LEAVE! LEAVE OUR MIDST OR ACTUALLY BE A LEADER! THINK OF A PLAN! THINK ON EVERYTHING YOUVE DONE! THINK ON RIVERCLAN! THINK ON THE FUTURE! THINK ON YOUR LEADERSHIP!
And dont come back until youve decided if you actually want to, or even can, be the leader riverclan needs.

We'll be awaiting your decision Fadingsun, for once in your life make a good one."


With that the elder shoved, pushing the tom out of the camp only because he didnt seem to resist her at all, the effort sending her collapsing to the ground. It was just a bit too much for old Waterlily, all energy over expended and she burst into hacks as she panted, shaking slightly from the effort. Not dying, not yet, but definitely winded and in need of care.

Not far away from her and the bustle she'd caused, Fadingstars rattled form turned and darted off into the forest and away from the camp, quickly out of view.

@Rani for adder trying to help water up


Adderstrike felt uncomfortable with all the cries for Fadingstar to resign. It reminded her of all the actual rebellion attempts and made her wonder if that this clan just wanted any moment to boot anyone from power or if they really felt this was the way. Another part of her wondered if that this clan would even for a moment let someone prove that they could change. This was not showing it whatsoever. This was supposed to be an opportunity for Fadingstar to hear grievances and change paths for the better... Hell even Adderstrike had some ideas on how this could be done. Something to better the clan but... Fadingstar ran off and her heart hurt badly.

Quickly Adderstrike whipped back and stared daggers into the hearts of those who asked for him to step down. "You all are quite the class act."

Having that been said, Adderstrike walked over to the elder and tried helping her up despite her angry towards the cat. Sure she could disagree, but she wasn't going to leave an elder on the ground cause of it.

River'Gaze
He/Him | 23Moons | RC Warrior

The warrior settled himself near the edge of the gathering. His focus had originally been locked on Fadingstar, though eventually set on all of his frustrated clan mates who were finally given the chance to speak up. He agreed with majority of everyone else’s points and despite the serious situation, the Tom couldn’t help but feel the corners of his mouth quirk up slightly as a small burst of pride towards his brave clan mates sparked within him, causing him to pat down his tail briefly.

The uproar is overwhelming, but River’gaze knew the time would’ve come eventually. He just hopes something good will finally come out of this. Or is that too much for him to ask for.

Willowtail stared in sheer shock and horror. Her leader had just been kicked out by Waterlily. "What if he doesn't come back" Willowtail fretted, eyes wide and in shock, she looked around swiftly for Dusklion, Daisypaw, Stagheart, someone to comfort her, to reassure her she would be fine. Spotting Stagheart Willowtail waddled over and looked up at him, "Stag.... is this really happening again?" Willowtail whispered, her whisper almost a whimper with the shock of the situation.
Daisypaw whom was already sitting next to Stagheart, leaned forward to rub her maw against Willowtail's shoulder, "Sit down." Daisypaw murmured gently, she didn't exactly have a feeling to what was happening, she was hyper aware she was to young to know the leader that well. As well as, without knowing it, Daisypaw now growing older was starting to sound like there mother, little by little. Willowtail had noticed this a few days ago, her heart panging in joy and greif as she listened to her sister and sat heavily.

Sweetsap wrapped her tail around Seakit and brought Softpaw to her side.

Summerbird looked at Willowtail, he'd made fun of her when she was an apprentice, she was half Windclan so why not? She was just a mutt with no place better to be. Summerbird locked eyes with Willowtail and bared his teeth for a moment, Willowtail locked eyes back and didn't react, this surprised Summerbird, grown bold had she?

At Waterlily´s yowl and Adderstrike´s calm sentence, Primrosepaw stepped up to her mentor´s side. ´´Adderstrike is right,´´ Her voice was cool and collected, though her emerald gaze had hardened. ´´Fadingstar may not be the best leader RiverClan´s had, but at least he is trying. If Fadingstar hadn´t called for our retreat when the other Clans attacked us, then RiverClan wouldn´t be here right now.´´

Primrosepaw´s eyes flicked over every warrior that had called for the RiverClan Leader´s resignation. ´´Think about it - if RiverClan hadn´t fled when we had the chance, we would all have either scattered or been killed. That is not something StarClan would have wanted,´´ She shook her head, exasperated. ´´And if there had been no river left, then there couldn´t have been thunder, shadow, or wind. When Fadingstar called for RiverClan´s retreat, he saved the other three Clans from falling, too.´´

Fadingstar was a good leader. Not the best leader, but a damn good one. Primrosepaw raised her voice. ´´For all of you that have called for our leader´s resignation, you have bees in your brains. You would not be standing here right now if it had not been for Fadingstar.´´

LEOPARDPURR
RIVERCLAN WARRIOR || 35 MOONS || NO PURRKS || HE/THEY
Leopardpurr watched the leader tell his clan to tell him what they wanted to change. Leopardpurr could think of a few things, but he was sure other clanmates would bring it up anyways. He eyed Waterlily with curiosity as she stalked up to Fadingstar. The curious expression dropped off his face to be quickly replaced mild horror. What? Why were there cats asking Fadingstar to step down? Yes, there was some definite issues, and ups and downs with his leadership, but nonetheless,
he was a mostly solid leader. He turned and glared at the other cats who had asked him to step down. He said things to say to them for sure. They huffed. It really just seemed like Riverclan didn't like having a high ranked cat in the position for too long. This was all absurd in his eyes. Shorekit had peeked his head out of the nursery and looked scared at the commotion. He slithered his way over the Leopardpurr and shoved himself into Leopardpurr's fluffy chest. Leopardpurr glanced around at his clanmates, gauging their reactions to this outburst from the elder. Some looked scared, some looked grateful. Well. If he truly was going to leave, Leopardpurr just wanted to know how long he would be gone. He glanced down at Shorekit and put his nose gently to his ear. "You are all cowards." He snapped, turning to the cats who had been calling for their leader to step-down and had a small hand in chasing him out.

Seapawhttps://warriorcatsonline.com/forums...ictureid=56135
he/they - 7 moons - Go with the flow
content: references to childhood trauma via RiverClan raid

Seapaw crept round the back of the crowd. An open forum? What could this be about? Maybe the weird argument about Duskleaf? Would... The problem with Dusklion be mentioned again? It was hard, but they needed to know what happened, more than anything. Were the other clans brutes? Or did RiverClan... Did RiverClan start this whole affair? Why did he and his sister have to spend their kithood tucked away in the mountains, terrified of fox hearts on their tails? Why did their mother have to get lost in said mountains, left alone in uncharted territory? He was here for answers, and answers he would get.

Tinytoad was here. Though nothing she said seemed new. Seapaw had never considered that the mountains were a bad idea - that there could have been elsewhere to hide. Maybe somewhere safer, somewhere with soft rivers, so he could have learnt to swim? Seapaw gazed at the ground beneath him, lamenting a little on the missed experience. No matter - they could swim now, right? That's what counted. Then Flowerhunter, was it? Spoke up. The tom was scarred, like he'd seen many a battle. It gave Seapaw faith in his opinion. Still, his opinion shocked them to their core. He thought... Fadingstar should step down? Fadingstar, the only leader he'd ever known. He'd always assumed his efforts were for good, he'd had faith in this leader. After all, a leader earns their rank, right? Dusklion was referenced as getting things done. That was nice to hear. After the last meeting, they'd begun to fear that... Maybe the clan hated this deputy. Maybe they blamed her for... Well, everything that's been happening, his whole life. He didn't know. The last he'd seen, was her running away. But, she was here today. Could they have faith in her? Could that clan have faith in her?

Fishpaw spoke up. She was kind to him, but... Seapaw was beggining to realise, they were only apprentices. They'd missed something, or many things. There were things they didn't know about. Things that no one would tell that, at least not easily. Oh, and Rainpaw was here. It was a relief to see a friendly face about. But for this meeting... He had to focus. He couldn't get lsot in chatter or daydreams this time, as hard as it was. The cause for all these horrible events was very slowly being revealed to him... Then, Dusklion, the cat he needed to know about, spoke. 'he had no part in that outside of perhaps... not smoothin' over tensions when needed' Okay, so Fadingstar didn't do anything, per se. So, it remained, through no fault of their leader - well, no huge fault - they were kicked out. Their young were killed, cats were injured, Seapaw's own mother went missing.

It was hard to stay attentive, to listen to all this. They really weren't used to it. Normally, during meetings, they'd catch the interesting bits, then just spend all of their time thinking about that, or daydreaming. They'd never had to listen to everything before, and it was a lot. Just when that seemed like all too much, Waterlily emerged from the elder's den. Surely, of all cats, hers was the opinion to trust? No... Leader lives? He wasn't even sure what that was! Leader were granted lives? Then... Fadingstar barely fought in the battle? But, he speaks of the other clans with such disdain. But, he wasn't even there to defend the clan? Well, Seapaw wouldn't want to fight if they were attacked now but... Seapaw didn't want to be leader. Seapaw never wanted to be leader. It was all bloodshed and diplomacy, and weird meetings where everyone got angry. And the dog fight... Seapaw hadn't seen that. He'd been sent home. But he trusted Waterlily's word more than anything. Had they ever spoke to each other? Nope. But she was old enough to see RiverClan through its past leader. She knew how things were meant to be.

More cats continued to speak up, there were calls for Fadingstar to step down. Claims that Fadingstar had cats... Slaughtered? Over threats? That sounded like something the other clans would do, not RiverClan, right? Fadingstar had been speaking of the other clans as if they were brutes, but things were starting to come together and... Was he just the same? Dusklion kept her position over a worse crime. A worse crime? It kept coming up. But, these cats supported Dusklion? It didn't make any sense to him.
Once again, Waterlily raised her voice. Stating that Dusklion made mistakes, yes, but she grew. It was a comfort to at least know that Dusklion made mistakes, that she wasn't... Evil.

Then, it finally erupted into the last thing he'd expect.

Leave.
And Fadingstar... Fadingsun, was gone. Just like that.

These cats had led the clan all his life. He thought... He thought they were meant to look after the clan. Had RiverClan caused the attack? After all this time, all this stirring, all this hatred, all this sadness, these missed opportunities, all this walking and walking and walking, never knowing where home was... After all this. It was as though his world were being torn apart. Lies, talking of other clans like such... He remembered Slugpaw... She was never a spy, was she? The other clans... They weren't actually brutes. But, Seapaw feared he would never trust them. Not properly, at least. The raid on RiverClan had left a permanent scar over his mind. He didn't remember the fight, no, but... Fighting scared him more than anything now, and it had to be because of that, right?

This perfect view, this idea that RiverClan, his clan was inherently good, shattered at his paws.
It had all been lies.
Pretty poetry.

Starrykit
Riverclan | 4 moons
Mind Reader


Starrykit had returned back from the territory just a little time before.
Her hollow eyes scanned the clearing. Fadingstar was... what was he doing? She tried hard to focus, then instantly heard a chaos of voices overlapping over one another. Some were calm, and some angry. Some were even furious, she noticed.

She was crouched beside the nursery entrance this time, instead of hiding herself in her old moss nest, as her curiosity about the whole situation kept growing. Finally, something was waking her up for the first time in a while. They were talking about Fadingstar. Her sea-blue eyes widened and a frown appeared on her face.

She rose and instinctively, without thinking, she added herself to the group of cats gathered in camp with their gazes toward the leader.
..."You let Elderkit die.." she said in a low tone, but high enough so that everyone around her could hear. This was aimed more at everyone than at Fadingstar, but she was ready to talk with her leader for once.

"Nobody was there to scan the skies! Where are the guards?!? Do you really expect kits to stay 6 moons in a row in that hole called nursery?" She screamed toward her leader.

Oh, she was angry. Furious. Now she realized that the fault had never been Elderkit's for being gone out, but the warriors for having failed her. She fluffed up her fur and offered that cat an icy gaze, keeping her body and tail rigid and still.

If he refused to address this, Starrykit could try and claw out his face. Who knows what could happen.

You treat your deputy who you were once so close to like dung, and dont think we cant see you snarl and scorn her when she actually grows, learns, and tries to fix her mistakes like you dont. Yet you give her all your duties and burdens at every turn like she's the leader not you.

You cannot keep consistent to you own decisions and go back on them the moment you get pushback, refusing both options of either being a cold but firm and strong leader OR being a considerate bendy but democratic one.


And I suppose worst of all youre directionless. I firmly believe you have no plan, no goals, not even a single idea of how to unite us and pull us out of this wreck, how to make us better then the rotting corpse of the might we once were. If you do have them youre certainly not sharing at least.
Fadingstar I declare that you are as your name is, Fading. A fading leader for the fading clan we've become who cannot comprehend how to be strong without picking fights despite that we cannot take anyone in a fight anymore."
The elder, a relict of the old times who'd lived through the entirety of Lionstars rule and all that came after him advances, pushing back Fadingstar in front of her. He could kill her with a hard shove, cast her aside with a word, but he didnt. It wasnt consideration, at least it didnt feel like it, and that only raised the elders fury more.



The riverclan leader had been back up to the edge of the new camp he'd taken no part in building when it all burst.
"REAL change is needed! You know this and yet here you are, clueless as how to proceed! The burden for this, for your solutions were never on us as YOU ARE THE LEADER!
At least you pretend to be.

LEAVE! LEAVE OUR MIDST OR ACTUALLY BE A LEADER! THINK OF A PLAN! THINK ON EVERYTHING YOUVE DONE! THINK ON RIVERCLAN! THINK ON THE FUTURE! THINK ON YOUR LEADERSHIP!
And dont come back until youve decided if you actually want to, or even can, be the leader riverclan needs.

We'll be awaiting your decision Fadingsun, for once in your life make a good one."


With that the elder shoved, pushing the tom out of the camp only because he didnt seem to resist her at all, the effort sending her collapsing to the ground. It was just a bit too much for old Waterlily, all energy over expended and she burst into hacks as she panted, shaking slightly from the effort. Not dying, not yet, but definitely winded and in need of care.

Not far away from her and the bustle she'd caused, Fadingstars rattled form turned and darted off into the forest and away from the camp, quickly out of view.

For a second, Grimpaw saw red. But he knew he had to stay calm and not attack this unscrupulous elder. So he stood up. "You may be a relic of our clan's warriors, but that behaviour was unwarranted and disrespectful." He meowed loudly to Waterlily before turning to the clan. "I'm not even sure where Crowglow has gone, and I'm sure he'd agree when I say that what Waterlily just did should be punished. Pushing Fadingstar away like that was rude and if anything disgusting to us younger cats who are still trying to grow up." He spoke calmly and fiercely.

Riverclan was officially out of control. As much as Fadingstar wanted to make it seem like he had things under-paw, it was obviously by the cacophony of voices that the opposite was true. Cats spoke up one by one and Nectardrip stayed silent despite his own thoughts. Despite the desire to argue with them all, attacking with counterpoints neither in opposition or agreement with the leader.

Going as far as beginning to groom his face out of disinterest, his attention is only drawn once again when Waterlily opens her loud mouth and Fadingstar is running off with his tail between his legs. A pity. Maybe he was actually looking to turn things around and his own clan had pushed him out. Oh well. Maybe some time alone and without power would do him some good. Now ti was time to watch the onslaught of chaos unfold around him.

@Goopysharkboi @Rani
Splashleap had arrived somewhat late to the party, just in time for Waterlily to send Fadingstar running. Not that he'd put up much of a fight, scuttling off into the forest with his tail between his legs. She figured Dusklion or a Lionheart or something would go after him soon, but that wasn't the important thing. What was important was Waterlily, and the seeming huddled shock that the clan had entered into. Who knew what was really going on, certainly not her. Mostly she was aware that Fadingstar was not the guy, not by a long shot. She'd thought he would be, at first, but he clearly was not up to it. So perhaps this was a good thing. Regardless, she wasn't about to listen to Grimpaw take out whatever loyalty he had to Fadingstar on an elder. An old, frail elder who Adderstrike had to assist to her feet. You can shut your maw, Grimpaw! she huffed, taking a few steps towards him. She didn't exactly have the height to make it intimidating, but she might as well give it a try. Waterlily is RIGHT, Fadingstar hasn't shown that he respects us, any of us, so why should we respect him?

Event [#event]

Dusklion - RiverClan Deputy

In the midst of the calamity that this event had turned into - in the midst of all the yelling, the accusations, the protests... Dusklion felt her heart shatter. Not because of what the Clan was saying, not because of the situation they found themselves in. Because as she was staring at the cat she had once swore the world to, she found that she didn't recognize him.

It hurt more than dying, losing her brother like this.

After a moment, when Waterlily was being helped away and Fadingstar had turned to flee, Dusklion finally rose from her spot. She watched him go, unable to hide the way her soul was shattering in her blue eyes. She didn't bother to stop the silent tears that fell from her face, the disappointment and let-down written clear as day across her expression. She stared after him with only one thought echoing in her mind.

What happened to 'you and me against the world?'

"Enough." Her voice was a bit hoarse and she cleared it, sweeping her gaze around. "I want everyone to find somethin' do to 'n do it now." Padding forward from her spot, one step in front of the other, Dusklion turned to look over the Clan. Her eyes found Splashleap and they narrowed. "Splashleap, I suggest you close yours, too 'n move away from Grimpaw." There was no anger in her voice, only a direct order given.

From there she looked to Adderstrike, and something akin to sorrow flashed in her eyes. "Make sure Waterlily gets back to her nest, 'n send Berries to check on her if she gets worse." She gave a nod to the warrior before once again turning to the rest of the Clan.

"'M gonna go find my brother, 'n figure out what the hell just happened. This event is over. There's huntin' that can be done, or borders that can be checked up on. Instead of fightin' 'n arguin' with each other, I expect you all to be Clanmates 'n that's that." More exhaustion tinged with a directness that wasn't necessarily new, but somehow felt foreign rolling off her tongue.

She glanced briefly at Starrykit, then murmured to Adds, "Can you ask Wisteriawren to look after Starrykit?" She knew the little kit must be angry, and sad, and grief-stricken. She didn't need her running off again.

With that, the RiverClan deputy turned and stalked out of the twoleg den, following her brother's scent.



[ sorry this is moving a bit fast! i'm wanting to get this event wrapped up so i can get riverclan moved to their new camp as soon as possible! once that occurs, the main clan threads can start being used instead of just the abandoned twoleg den one ^^ ]

Blackfrost
55 moons • RiverClan warrior • she/her
long-furred, mostly black tortoiseshell she-cat with sharp blue eyes



Blackfrost frowned up at the leader as he explained what this meeting was for. She sat with her paws close together and her tail tucked up around them. An open discussion, huh? Well, wasn't that just something.

The past few moons of Fadingstar's leadership had put an uncharacteristic chip in Blackfrost's shoulder. As those precious few cats that were still brave enough spoke up, she found them voicing all of her own misgivings. RiverClan had gone through so much turmoil, being uprooted and chased from their home, and Fadingstar had only served to make it far worse with the way he spread fear in their already pained hearts.

She felt angry. She felt resentful. The crux of it all was the frustration that came with being unable to help these feelings — when many moons ago she had always felt calm and in control.

Finally, Blackfrost's own mother, Waterlily, spoke up. As was the expectation with the old she-cat, her words were well-crafted and viciously pointed. Blackfrost agreed with every single one of her points, and not just because the woman had raised her.

"Your leadership started out fine, Fadingstar," she chimed in after the first time Waterlily spoke. "You brought much-needes stability to our high ranks, appointing both a deputy and a medicine cat in quite sufficient time. Your Lionhearts were rather well-chosen. I have to admit, I had faith in you — I truly hoped you would turn this clan around for good."

She sighed. So much for all that. "But now, Berrypaw is in the medicine den alone. We've been driven from our home and only just returned. We all need a leader who would work to raise our security, stability, and sense of community. Instead, you've been ruthlessly executing cats for voicing their concerns. You haven't been the leader I'd hoped for in you for quite some time."

She had made her own point. She settled back once more to listen to others voice there concerns. The tension escalated quite quickly, however, and Waterlily, that wizened old xat, took matters into her own paws, scolding Fadinfstar, utterly destroying him with her words, until he turned and fled the scene.

When Waterlily collapsed, Blackfrost was at her elbow near immediately, allowing her mother to lean against her own large frame jf she wished. Then Grimpaw had to open his mouth. Blackfrost thanked the stars she wasn't a more temperamental cat, for she was able to speak calmly in the face of this disrespect.

"Grimpaw, you have no authority to call for punishment to an elder many seasons your senior. You talk of respect, yet you can't pay as much to a cat twice Fadingstar's age and experience." Splashleap's words were... accurate, though they could have been worded better. Blackfrost decided not to bother saying more.

Then Dusklion's voice rang out, calling for order. Thank StarClan for Dusklion. As far as Blackfrost was concerned, this meeting was over. Her only concern right now was taking care of her mother.

Strongstorm could feel his heart beating in his chest as he quietly gave Grimpaw a disappointed look and looked to Waterlily. He lightly gave her an apologetic look, before glaring at Grimpaw in annoyance. "I don't remember anyone asking for your input on the matter anyway, pipsqueak." He remarked, padding over.

Duskleaf


22 Moons | He/Him | Agatha Kitty

RiverClan Warrior

Maybe Duskleaf shouldn’t have still been sleeping in that tree after falling out of it and crashing into Wisteriawren, but he still didn’t feel safe sleeping in what was currently acting as the warriors' den. It was still too soon for that of course, there were probably still cats who wanted to rip his tongue out and he didn’t feel safe enough to sleep anywhere in range of them. Not now at least, no, that tree was fine. Descending from the tree he’d practically claimed as his own by now, Duskleaf approached as he heard Fadingstar calling cats to give their opinions on him? That was…unusual. Was this still a dream? Then an elder who was a contemporary of Duskleaf's oldest relatives he could remember approached Fadingstar and started lecturing him, and then…Fadingstar just left?!

Duskleaf made his way into the gathering crowd of cats and sat beside Fishfreckle, wow, this dream was strangely realistic? "What in StarClan's name did I eat…?" He whispered loudly. Sure no real cats could actually hear him, he was asleep after all. "This is so weird…I’ve never had a dream like this before…" He looked around, not having a clue what was going on, was StarClan trying to tell him something? But why him? Right now, he seemed like the last cat StarClan would want to deliver a message to. Then Dusklion told every cat to do something…wait what? What in StarClan's name was going on?!

"Wh- PIPSQUEAK?!" Grimpaw's eye twitched, tail lashed and he glared fiercely at Strongstorm. "Oh, you wanna fight, furball?! I'll rip your ears off!" Oh, he was mad now. He unsheathed his claws and basically stormed towards Strongstorm.

Strongstorm let out a guffaw, and strode directly towards Grimpaw. "Not if I tear you open first." His voice became cold and sadistic, but switched back quickly. He looked around. "So who wants me to show this little brat he isn't worth his place in this clan?" He meowed, hoping to get a rise out of the clanmates so they cheered.
