RiverClan Clearing

[Goopysharkboi]

No. Nonononono. Stormstar couldn't be dead! She just couldn't!

Cloudgaze felt his heart rate increase, eyes widening as he looked at the sight that the other cats had been gathering around. There, his leader lay dead with a coyote. Ears flattening, he backed himself into a corner
put his paws over his head and tried to wake himself up from whatever nightmare he was having. He didn't know this wasn't a nightmare.

"This HAS to be a nightmare, Stormstar can't be dead..." he sobbed softly to himself, breaking down as the emotional attachment he had to his leader finally tore him apart from the inside.

CRICKETSPLASH
PURRKS: N/A // 41 MOONS // RC WARRIOR
_______________________

This wasn't real. It... couldn't be. Stormstar was dead. He padded over to the body, burying his nose in it. "How did this happen?" he whispered sadly. Smoothing her fur, he looked up at Owltalon. "If there's anything you need help with, I can help. Just ask me." he assured her. Cricketsplash then turned to the cats gathering around the body. "RiverClan! I know we're all grieving, but can we all give Owltalon some space? Don't crowd around the body. Queens! Take the kits and apprentices into the nursery and start an event with the kits. They don't need to see this, distract them. Warriors... just leave the clearing. Give them space, please." he called. Creating order would be a good thing to do... the last thing Owltalon needed was more chaos. And the kits definitely didn't need to see a dead body. The apprentices was a different story, but combining them with the kits was probably for the best.

(btw I got perms from finley to mass mention the clan o7)

Resting his head lightly on top of Berryshine’s, eyes closed in an attempt to conceal his struggle with grief, he tried to give a soothing purr before pulling away and gently touching Cobwebfern’s shoulder with his nose. ”She will still be so proud of you. Of all of RiverClan.” He murmured softly, eyes gleaming with sympathy for the she-cat.

A cold nose touched his own fur. Amberdusk. His brother. Stars, how good it felt to have his older brother to lean on. A small sniff escaped from Brokenstream, but he continued to hold his composure, turning to touch his nose to Amberdusk’s in return. Before he could speak, Redsurge arrived. ”Redsurge, I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but please give everyone a moment to grieve and process.” His tone wasn’t harsh, but his tail twitched as an indicator for her to back up. Cricketsplash echoed his brother’s words.

”Thank you. Give Owltalon and the medicine cats their space for a moment, please. RiverClan will all get the chance to say goodbye…” A defeated sigh escaped his lips. ”Thank you all. RiverClan will remain strong in this dark time.”

"can you tell me what happened?" waveclaw mews looking at the body of his dead leader. "how am I going to tell rabbitfur about this?" he thinks

Marshmallow
| She/her | RC Queen | ~29 Moons |

Marshmallow watched the scene unfold, processing slowly the events of the night. The former lionheart, the former leader, the death, the grief.. it was something any cat in Riverclan would be familiar with and unfortunately or fortunately she had no personal relationship with the leader. It hurt of course, Stormstar was a new beginning and promised stability for the kittens she had on the way, but it was not losing a sister, a friend, an idol. She didn’t step forth, it would not be right of her when Stormstar’s closest deserved to mourn first with their goodbyes.

But her blue eyes, bright against the dim weather turned to Cricketsplash. The youth didn’t deserve to lose their time of mourning and goodbye with their leader for being young. They were just as deserving too the time of vigil than any cat here. She didn’t see the point in not allowing them this time. Youth that are being disruptive and actively not wishing to leave, can leave. They are their own people, just because they are small doesn’t mean they can’t think for themselves.

The Queen stood forth, his weight off from her litter, likely to be the first of Owltalon’s reign, and started towards Cricketsplash. “The apprentices and kits can decide themselves if they wish to mourn. I will only remove the disrespectful.” She spoke evenly. Carefully. And watched. The youth had the right to mourn, and she would continue to stand by that stance until Owltalon herself told her otherwise, and in which she would defend the defenseless, that is her job as a Queen of Riverclan.
