High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

PIKESTAR

Silently, from atop his place on the Streamstone, the tall dark-furred tom watched as the mentors seeked their newfound apprentices, and for a moment everything felt right in the world. There was no screaming, no arguing, no hissing and yowling to be heard of. Was the loud and awful chaos finally coming to an end? That possibility soothed Pikestar’s insides and he allowed himself to breathe. He then listened attentively to Pondwhisker’s goodbye speech, already having known about it prior to their private discussion the day before. The fading RiverClan leader dipped his head in respect and farewell to the elder, respecting his choice to spend his final days with the family he had in ThunderClan. Thankfully, the majority of their clanmates accepted it too and wished Pondwhisker well, whether it be through silent nods or brief words. It was calm and Pikestar was all around very thankful for that. His partial gaze caught sight of his daughter, Silversnow, and Lilycreek comforting young Cherrykit, who seemed a bit confused by all the happenings. Nothing else seemed to be of noteably quality, and Pikestar let another smile come to his maw. This seemed like a good point to continue.

"RiverClan wishes you well upon your way, and I can only hope you spend the rest of your days in peace amongst your family, Pondwhisker." The dark oriental tomcat remarked, saying one last thing to the elder before officially switching topic so they could remain productive. "Moving on with our meeting, I would like to inform RiverClan that there has been a surplus of twoleg traps spotted near and within our hunting grounds of late." They glanced around to find a few specific cats in the crowd, "Last moon, I saved Pebblesplash from a trap just outside our borders, and Beansprout saved young Bouncepaw from one as well. Now, if it was just one occurrence, I would cast it off as just a one time thing, but as the numbers grow, I realize now that it's something that needs to be made aware of. Please, proceed with caution and do to help your fellow clanmates when you can." He glanced over at the scarred siamese tomcat and gave a gentle nod to him. With that now said, there was one, maybe two more things to go over and then they could be dismissed. Pikestar questioned for a second if they should still go through with this.

"Next, I would like to elect two new warriors to our shield team. They have both done more than enough to prove that they are capable of doing what needs to be done to make sure RiverClan thrives. This shall be my last act as the clan's leader." Pikestar said, their long whiskers twitching as they spoke, "Beansprout and Beastflame shall be promoted to RiverClan's newest shields, if they still wish to accept." In hindsight with everything that's gone on, the dark-furred feline wondered if it was smart of him to still do all this. However, they had promised such a rank to the siamese tom, and Beastflame was more than deserving of such a title. No matter what was to become of RiverClan in the near future, Pikestar would remain faithful to what he had in store for this meeting. He gazed at both tomcats for a moment, hoping that both of them understood his thought process behind it. "Before this clan meeting is to be dismissed entirely, I have one final request to make of RiverClan tonight."

Leaping down from the Streamstone, which would most likely be the final time he ever did so, Pikestar gave a small sigh and looked out at the crowd that sat before him. "I wish to travel now to the Starcave―alone―while you all figure out our leader situation. I have no right to be apart of the decision, nor do I want to have a say in the whole discussion. I've many enough poor choices, and I believe it's up to the rest of RiverClan to choose their new leader. Whether you allow Gingerfrost, or Stonepaw to choose, or hold it to a vote. That is not up to me." His partial gaze found Beastflame, almost half-tempted to ask if he would accompany them, to have some kind of trusted friend by his side, but Pikestar knew this was their burden alone to deal with. "When I return to RiverClan, I will return as Snowleap. The warrior many of you once knew me as. Please respect my personal choice, and do take care of yourselves while I am away. This meeting is dismissed." Without another word, the lanky oriental tomcat padded away from the Streamstone and towards the camp's entrance, beginning their journey to the cave. It was time to end this chapter.

// This meeting has officially been concluded. \\

BlueberryPaw felt her heart drop. "No..." They whispered and looked at PikeStar. She wanted to lash out but she couldn't. Something was stopping them.

PebbleSplash listened quietly to the rest of the meeting, sitting proudly with her head high. That all changed when she heard the mention of her accident, which caused her to shy down a bit, ducking her head down softly. She tried not to think about it and thought more about the other things that were mentioned… It was interesting to hear that BeanSprout had saved an apprentice from a twoleg, and she shot a glance of what seemed to be respect their way…

As the meeting continued on, she heard her leader announce two new shields… One of which she already knew of (BeanSprout,) and BeastFlame… BeastFlame was more than qualified from what she had seen and her eyes lit up with excitement because of it. However, she was left a bit puzzled… It made her confused about why BeanSprout had spoken to PikeStar so harshly, though given such a high honour… But, even so, she still put in the respectful effort to bow her head with respect.

As the meeting came to an end, PikeStar had made it official that he was stepping down and was going to return the rest of his lives… He stated that he wished to be called SnowLeap, which she was more then willing to respect… As the Tom leapt off the Streamstone, she turned her gaze, Looking up at the darkening sky… The molly shivered. When sPebbleSplash was captured, she had gone out at a time like this and promised hers she wouldn’t let anyone leave at night again.

She had to ignore his humble request to go alone and tagged behind him. She didn’t want to make a scene so she caught up to SnowLeap… “SnowLeap…?” her voice was rather quiet… “I cannot let you go the full way alone. Let me come with you, until at least the edge of the territory so I can make sure your safe and can put my worries at ease…” Without a doubt, there was pure worry in her voice. She must’ve had a thing for dipping her head, because once again it ducked low.

She would’ve done the same for anyone else, for everyone deserves the same sort of protection. Though, this had a special place in her heart. It felt like she was repaying the debt she had for being saved. Even so, though, she felt like the tom would’ve saved her a million times if she needed it, and quite frankly, she would’ve done the same, if not more… That’s just what clanmates do. That’s why PebbleSplash loved her clan… A tiny flame lit in her heart as her shyer gaze became a powerful one, locking eyes with him…

“Your safety is just as important as mine…”

Nightspark dipped his head with a huge respect to Pikestar, the choice of the leader was done, and it couldn't be changed... he said, his voice imprinted of respect "Good luck Pikestar, may your travel be calm..."

~Silentripple~
From her place beside Cloudpaw, she gave a sad gaze to her leader, he had led them through so much and it had surprised her when he said he was resigning, through this she hoped he was content with his decision and knew he could choose whatever to do with his life, but it was a bit of an annoyance that they now had to deal with the choice of leadership

[Twisted.]

Berryflare didn't say anything. Maybe the next leader could be a great one. So she stayed in her little shadow corner and waited for the voting too start. "Good luck Pikestar!" She meowed, hoping he would have a good journey too the starcave.

"If your nervous don't worry your doing better than me, I at or may not have well almost thrown up from how nervous I was before my ceremony and after it got better" she gave a small laugh

"I.. h..ad o..ne o-o..f these be..fore." He reminded her. "I... am.. 19 moons... I was.. a shadowclan... aprentice before... i was.. born there." Cloudpaw said, realizing Pikestar didn't specify that so she actually might not have known

~Silentripple~

Turning her gaze to him she looked intrigued,
"really?" Giving a twitch of her whiskers "What's Shadowclan like, are their hearts actually chilled by the winds that pass through the territory" realizing what she was say she stopped,
"Sorry, that must sound awful to you; considering they were your old clan."

Swirlsplash looked at her young apprentice. "Blueberrypaw. Lets go take out some anger and help our clan at the same time. No?" she suggested. Step one, take the shocked apprentice out to the territory and collect moss. Swirlsplash and her roleplayer thought the apprentice was so pure and to cute to be feeling such emotions at such a young age.

Lashing her tail once meaning, come along. Swirlsplash yawned as she went to Brightnight, licking her ears and whispering. "How are you baby?" While the brown she-cat responded. "I'm fine mother, the kits are quite close to coming out though.

Blue, now BlueberryPaw, eyes shone with excitement. "BluberryPaw..." She repeated quietly and excitedly. They looked happy to be apprenticed under SwirlSplash. "I guess I am!" She said and accepted SwirlSplash's gentle touch. "Thank you, Miss SwirlSplash!" They added. She felt a a nudge "Hi Beechk-" She started then caught herself "I mean BeechPaw!" They paused at that question "Like I'm finally escaped the past!" They finally answered.

Swirlsplash gave a soft purr. "Hello little one. A very cute name you've got." she purred, her roleplayer also agreeing.
