@Wynnkite
[your good <3 length doesn't matter.]

Rainpaw had been sitting, yellow eyes narrowed as she watched the clouds drift by. Today there wasn't a bird in the sky. Nor little nor big. That wasn't the case yesterday and now they were without Littlepaw. A hawk snatching him from her. Every cat was getting taken from her...Her ears pinned back as she fought against tears. Claws flexing in and out of the dirt. She needed to do something, anything. She felt cold, despite the warmer air around her. It was even sunny today.

A scent touched Rainpaw's nose causing her to look around. Her nose had to be playing tricks on her right!? It couldn't be what she thought it was. It'd been nearly three moons! But... there she was... Ginger tabby she had once known so well, standing there looking around. Disbelief left the black kitten baffled, yet her paws moved on their own towards the once familiar face. "Shellkit?" She asked. However, before she got an answer she already knew. This was her sister! She was back!! "Shelly your back!!" Rainpaw exclaimed basically pouncing on her sister, unless she moved out of they way. "Where were you!? I thought you'd never come back! You've been gone for ages!" Rain would add, the tears she had fought against now streaming down her muzzle.

"Uh..." Rowankit thought for a moment before putting two paws up. "Two moons! You?"

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Twilightstar wasn't expecting to have another meeting so soon, but she needed to get this stuff sorted and she was praying that her clanmates had some actual input for some of these matters. She didn't mind running point, but this wasn't a dictatorship and their voices would help clarify their views for her.

"Let all old enough to run the moor, gather below the Breezerock for a clan meeting." The molly yowled as soon as she gathered enough strength to leap on the rock.

She sat down, stifling her need to yawn, yet didn't bother hiding how tired she was. Her clan needed to understand that although she was a leader, she had a limit just like them. If they were going to get WindClan back together they needed to help her out.

Sleep was practically nonexistent with her, headaches almost constant, regardless of how many poppy seeds she took she was always sore, and she just couldn't shake off the feeling of exhaustion, and she hasn't even started on the trauma, that she was just kind of pushing away until she couldn't anymore. She now served as WindClan's only High rank, replacements haven't even jumped into her head. There was so much to do, and she was only one cat. She was literally giving this clan everything she could offer them to the best of her abilities, enduring and pushing onward. But it felt like she was one of the only few trying, and it made her feel disgustingly selfish to the point of nausea. But the lack of patrol reports hadn't helped with that feeling, one report that's all she had.

She had taken this rank when Brightstar couldn't handle it, expecting to be done with it a long time ago. She never wanted to be a leader, but here she was, being one. Life never gave you what you wanted. She had sacrificed everything that made her... well her, to make WindClan stronger. She'd do it all over again in a heartbeat because that's who she was, but it was wearing her down and it terrified her because one of these days she was going to break to a point where she couldn't put herself back together again. What would happen to WindClan then? They had proven how easy it was to fall apart, saving themselves instead of each other, splitting instead of joining together, during Dawnstar's take over. At the moment she was truly worried about WindClan's future.

Breezepaw sat at the foot of the Breezerock, looking up at his leader expectantly.

Honeysage

The golden tabby had peeled around the wall of the Warriors den, ears quivering as a meeting was called. He shuffled only a little ways closer before sitting himself down.

Featherlight had just slipped into the entrance from a solo walk as he heard Twilightstar's call. A chill ran down his spine, and internally he kicked himself. He'd forgotten to report the findings at the ShadowClan border. That was the last thing Twilightstar needed, and he flattened his ears a bit in shame.

Picking a path towards the front he took a spot, looking up at the leader cautiously. He knew he would have to talk to her after - she had trusted him to lead a patrol, and he had let her down. Featherlight fought to keep the emotion out of his blue gaze as he waited to hear what Twilightstar had to say.

He wanted to tell her he was sorry, that the ShadowClan border had been, thankfully, quiet. But now wasn't the time. After, perhaps.

Icewing padded over, looking around at the warriors that pooled out from the dens. His neck fur stood up. The grey speckled tabby knew something important was going to happen, good or bad. He sighed, bracing himself for the worst

Hawkpaw sat beside his older brother, Icewing and looked up at him, Icewing shrugged and just looked back up at their leader.

"Five Moons", she said self consciously because she was so small. "I'm nervous about being an apprentice, I'd rather explore or help others.", they added.

(Snail is genderfluid so I just kinda swap their pronouns every so often, if you need a reference of their pronouns just use the ones I do atm or use they/them, their AMAB but okay with any pronouns)

// everyone is anxiously waiting to see who the new leader will be.

i know icewing won't be, but i hope in the future he will be the deputy!

**~Fierce~** · #**34930** April 5th, 2021, 01:47 PM

~Darkclaw~

Darkclaw padded over and sat down. She noticed Twilightstar was looking a bit tired but it was expected from her. She had gone through so much and now that she was back, she needed to take control of the clan and look after it. And she didn't have a deputy to help her.

~Blackmist~

Blackmist padded over and sat down, waiting for the meeting to start.
