Toadkit arrived.

Beekit kept to Toadkit's side, close enough to feel Toadkit.

Moonkit

She sighed as she sat somewhere near the shadows, while her tail flicked.

Jayfeather hears the sound of Larkfire's voice - and he hears pain. Something inside him dreads this meeting, why he has no idea. But he comes to the Floodstone and looks at her.

Shatterpaw does not like this. at all. but who is he to judge? he then comes up to the Floodstone and sits with Jayfeather

i should have brought something to cheer her up he thinks after a moment before little Bluebellpaw comes up and sits with the other warriors, apprentices, kits, queens - all of the other RiverClen citizens.

((ALL THREE OPEN))

She didn’t want to call this meeting. More than anything, she felt the fear and anxiety burning in her bones, her head at war with itself, pleading for her not to put herself in the spotlight, not to jump onto the newly named Floodstone and announce something that no cat would want to hear. How would the clan react? Would they jeer at her? Would they demand someone else replace her? Would they think she is to blame for this death? Would they pin her as the murderer even if she had Falconfeather tell them all that there’s no evidence he was killed by external blows or by poison? Would they all hate her?

Larkwing half wanted to know, and half never wanted to show her face in the clan again for the shame and the fear that coursed through her bones. But she couldn’t just not address them all, she couldn’t leave this announcement to someone else… like it or not, she is their acting leader now, if they’re willing, and she won’t be a sorry excuse for one even if it’s the very last thing she does. She doesn’t know what she feels for the stars that may dictate her life in the coming moons, part of her still feels nothing but reverence, nothing but awe. The other part of her loathes them for all that’s happened to her clan, her home in recent moons. But life goes on.

So, solemnly, reverently, mindful of the clan and especially of Mumblepaw, who’s grief she had granted be shared privately first, so they would not be subject to the torture of an entire clan witnessing them in such a state, Larkwing carries the once leader out of his den, and gently rests him below the Floodstone. She’s tired. She’s so tired and she doesn’t think she’s ready for this at all, but it has to be done even if she doesn’t want to, so she ignores the eyes that are definitely watching her, and takes her place on top of the Floodstone, speechless for a moment as she gathers her thoughts.

”RiverClan!” She yells out, and her voice is hoarse. She doesn’t make much of an effort to hide that. Would it be manipulation to appear distressed? Would they pity her and then not condemn her for something that wasn’t her fault? Would they even believe her or Falconfeather when they delivered the news? ”Please- please gather around the Floodstone for a meeting. It’s important.” The most important meeting they’ll have for some time if she has anything to say about it.

Bitterberry, Breezeberry, and Brindleberry, the triplets that all had the same suffix, padded over, Shellwhisker following them. Jackdawkit bounded over to the Floodstone, sitting beside Shellwhisker.

Berrypaw gasped, if LarkWing was calling a meeting... That could only mean one thing... Gingerstar was- dead! But how? But... how?

Frecklepaw padded over quietly

What was a meeting? Otterkit didnt know but Dad had said this was riverclan and he was part of riverclan so Otterkit should gather right? Yeah.

So the kitten toddled up, fat and short little kitten legs not really helping him in his journey and sat among the throng of cats a little unsure. There were.... a lot. And they were so big! Little Otterkit was dwarfed and unsure and getting a little scared. Where was someone he knew, someone to comfort him. Itd be a hard task, he only knew two cats, his dads!
"Dada! Papa!"
He couldnt see his Dada's ginger pelt or his Papa's brown longer coat anywhere and he wanted them here.
"Where are you! Dada! Papa?"
The little kitten was shrinking in on himself, fast becoming scared with the tension filled air of the meeting. Something was wrong. Deep in his little bones he knew even if at the moment he didnt know how deeply this loss related to him.

"....Wheres my Dads?"

Amberwing stepped forwards, worried as to why there was another meeting so soon.
