High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

No questions. Fantastic. Bumblestar could move on.

"Regarding RiverClan." Anger slipped into her words again. "A little bit ago, I found scent all over our side of the border. Prey scraps, pawprints, their stench pushed way past our scent markers. Clearly those snakes think we aren't capable or willing of pushing back. I wanna prove 'em wrong. Tonight."

With a shake of her coat and a snarl tugging at her lips, Bumblestar leapt down the Stormcrest to land in front of her gathered Clanmates.

"ShadowClan 'n RiverClan both think we're jokes. 'N while I want ShadowClan to think we're laying low for the most part other than what we're doing at the border, I'm sick 'n tired of RiverClan thinking they can keep getting away with this crap. They raid our camp, they steal our territory, kidnap our Clanmates-" she hadn't forgotten about that incident and never, never would "-and think they're entitled to do whatever the hell they want with us. Screw that. We're proving them wrong tonight.

"Wolfmist's patrol was a failure. We still need territory. And the fish clearly believe we aren't going to strike back. So until we're prepared enough to do some real damage to ShadowClan's forces, we're going after a chunk of RiverClan's land. I don't know Beanstar's deal, but I wanna find out, 'n I'm expecting some pushback once they figure out what we've done." She lashed her tail. "So apprentices under six moons, 'n those of you who haven't yet had any battle training, I want you to stay here. Everyone else, if you really want to prove that ThunderClan's no longer a Clan to be walked all over... follow me now. We're headin' out."

Bumblestar cast one last piercing look over her Clan, and then with the sun sinking ever lower in the sky, headed for the camp's entrance.
