High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Numb. That was the only way to describe the torrential downpour Kestrelstar had been trapped under for the last few days. Stormtalon's death still rocked him hard not to mention Plumstorm's almost... he couldn't even bring himself to think about it. She was safe. Alive. Here. As much as he wished to simply skip tonight's Gathering, without a deputy in the Clan right now he had no choice but to withdraw from the safety of his dark den and make his way towards Seastones. The gray tabby had absolutely no intention of starting anything, speaking more than he needed to - stars, if he could call off this Gathering altogether he would've. He refused to do anything that would make RiverClan look weak no matter the reasoning. Even in the thick fog that surrounded him the young leader was well aware of that.

Dirt and soil turned to sand underneath his paws as the RiverClan leader paused to take a breath. RiverClan was the first to arrive, which settled his bones a bit. He gave no farewell to his Clan, instead padding almost robotically over to where he normally sat. Climbing the smooth rocks and taking his place the gray tabby circled his tail around his paws. Not a trace of emotion was detectable on his face as he remained stony and expressionless. Yellow eyes were hardened as he stared blankly ahead, already becoming lost in his tsunami of thoughts once more.
