High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Hmm, she might have to make this more of a habit. Taking a few moments to converse with the other leaders before starting the gathering seemed to sort out problems easier than learning about them during the announcement. She never minded losing warriors or spilling blood however prefer when it was on her terms over something she felt was worth fighting for. She'd never like the idea of her clan having to deal with backlash due to a few morons acting out.

If she was hearing correctly, ShadowClan, ThunderClan, and even the great WindClan had dumbasses making messes. Don't get her wrong, she still hated her problem cats, she just felt a little better knowing ShadowClan wasn't alone in that aspect.

Dawnstar lifted her head and looked up at the moon. It seemed like enough time had passed time to get this gathering started. The hulking feline rose and claimed the front of the stone for herself. She called attention to herself with a short yowl and began.

"ShadowClan is faring well. Tickpaw, Marshypaw, Cloverpaw, Twilightpaw, Fallowpaw, and Bleedingpaw have all started their warrior training."

"We acquired a few former RiverClanners among our ranks, Pondpaw and Marigoldpaw." She didn't know if the two had come to the gathering and didn't care so long as neither was causing her trouble.

"The victory against RiverClan helped three apprentices finish their training. Sleepypaw, Squirrelpaw, and Rookpaw all earned their warrior names, Squirrelrise, Sleepysunrise, and Rookfire." Her tone was drowning in pride with the new warriors' announcement.

"One of our queens, Starrysmoke, had a litter of three but passed not long after. Berrykit, Tigerkit, and Snarlingkit are doing well under their adopted mother, Nightshiver's care." She found no need to get into the details surrounding that one's death.

"One of our warriors turned traitor, Lionflop was executed after he was found attacking two of his clanmates and assumingly going after a WindClan apprentice." She paused here to look at Twilightstar. "The apprentice had two different colored eyes, one blue one green, and a whitish pelt with speckles. I don't know why she was out there by herself, but I'd keep a closer eye on her." ShadowClan would get a bad rep at this rate due to careless apprentices.

"We've had a new twoleg problem. A twoleg kit was seen near Herondive Hollow, it grabbed one of my apprentices, Mirepaw, and crossed over into ThunderClan's territory." Dawnstar glanced at the tiny Bumblebrat. "If your warriors could keep an eye out for her? She's a black and gray she-cat with pale white markings and blue eyes. ShadowClan would appreciate it if she was returned if found anywhere in your territory." It was a shot in the dark, but asking was better than saying nothing about it.

"Finally, Mossfreckle has taken an apprentice. Grousepaw is ShadowClan's new medicine cat apprentice." Dawnstar took a few paw steps back, finished, and left the front of the stone open for the next leader.
