Acornfall blinked in surprise as Bumblestar climbed the Stormcrest - well. Blinked his one remaining eye anyway. He was even more surprised by Bumblesta- …Bumble
break’s…announcement. That was…certainly going to take getting used to. But…he couldn’t help it. He lifted his chin, puffed his chest, and chanted.
“Bumblebreak! Bumblebreak! Bumblebreak!” He wasn’t sure if this was the custom or not, but he wanted Bumble to know that her clan honored and respected her and her decision. And he hoped this gesture would show her that.
Sunrisepaw sat with an expression of horror in the shadows of the apprentice’s den. Bumblestar…was Bumble
break now?! Bumblestar had always been her hero…what was going to happen to the clan now? She heard a voice chanting Bumblebreak’s name like this was normal, and bit back her hiss. Feeling distressed and overwhelmed, ‘Rise stayed in the shadows of the apprentice’s den. Tail wrapped tightly around her paws.
Spiderpaw wasn’t too far from Sunrisepaw. Equally surprised, but Acornfall’s chanting brought out chanting of her own.
“Bumblebreak! Bumblebreak! Bumblebreak!” Her leader…no…Bumblebreak looked tired. But she did
soooo much for the clan. She didn’t want Bumblebreak to just…slink off into nothingness. And she knew, she’d chant and support Spiderthroat too. But right now…she just felt like she wanted Bumblebreak to know how important and respected she was.
Honeykit blinked blearily from the nursery. Looking up at her momma with a confused expression before yawning and tucking herself into a ball at Milkbee’s paws. This was too noisy for the young kit, and she didn’t understand it all.

Burnedbark wasn’t surprised by the clan’s response. He lifted his head and nodded in agreement with the show of honor and respected to Bumblebreak’s decision. But his gaze shifted to Spiderthroat now too. Their next leader…it felt like the end of an age.
