Ridgeclaw was roused from his nap in the elders den by, you guessed it. Yelling. Same old thunderclan at this point their meetings had been a mess long before he was a warrior and they would be a mess after he was retired to the elders den after he lost his leg. With a sigh and a growl the Tom rolled out of his nest and hobbled out to the clearing to see this new mess. Ah it was Aspenstar getting her dues and the few trying to protest this just fate grasping for straws... Guess that meant he should step in and add the wisdom of an elder.

”IF YOU WERE DEDICATED TO DOING BETTER YOUD HAVE DONE IT ALREADY NOW JUST STATE IT WITH EMPTY WORDS.” the bellow was clear even though it was rasped and cracked with age “it is easy to say and harder to do and you’ve proven time and time again as you take the easy path of promising and only doing so in situations that suit you! The event you avoided accusing words that held naught but the truth instead deeming this where all eyes are on you to actually do your job for once while ignoring the true issue! You. Are. A. Coward! Look to Dogbark who faces the harsh truth with dignity and fixes the issues in himself without having to promise to first! He simply does as a proper leader should! You are a child who seeks praise for your ego above all and doesn’t truely care for your clan! What are you doing to deal with our lack of medicine cat!? How will they be trained!? How is thunderclan going to live when the frost has already set on and our herb supply is barren!? What of our prey stores?! A true leader would think of this and all that Buckstar failed is too he was legues better then you!”

The tripod elder hobbled further into the clearing to growl in closing “A true leader would recognise you aren’t suitable for the rank and step down. So I call upon you. Step. Down.”
