Rowanflame had risen with the sun as he did almost every morning. The ginger tom, who was seated just outside and to the left of the warriors' den entrance, had begun to thoroughly groom his pelt after he had awoken. His pink, bristled tongue rasped through his thick, yet short orange fur like a comb, making quick work of the dirt and moss that had attached itself to him. It only took a few moments for the diligent warrior to feel decently satisfied with the state of his pelt. Once finished with that task, Rowanflame's orange glance was cast over towards the fresh kill pile. The thought of grabbing a small morsel before patrols practically made his belly rumble. But, the warrior quickly relinquished the thought, knowing that he should only eat after the hunting patrols were sent out and the other members of the clan were fed.

It was then, that Rowanflame caught sight of Alderstar out of the corner of his eye. He watched silently as the leader of the clan made his way over to the top of his perch: the oddly large cedar stump. Immediately, Rowanflame knew that a meeting was to be called. As there were no kits, and no apprentices old enough for their ceremonies, the ginger tom assumed that Alderstar would be picking a deputy now. Once the loud, booming words of the brown tom rung out across the camp, Rowanflame rose from his post beside the warriors den and quietly padded over to the clear area that laid in front of the stump. He watched some of the other cats begin to rise and file out of their dens to find a seat, before finding a seat himself.

Only a heartbeat after he had found his seat, Rowanflame's attention was caught by his bubbly little apprentice: Sagepaw. He smiled warmly as the small she-cat fired a number of questions at him. She was amusing, her excitement almost contagious as it even filled the tom with a little bit more optimism and curiosity. He parted his maw to answer her, but just as quick as she had appeared, she ran off. Rowanflame shook his head and chuckled lightly to himself, before turning his attention back to the CedarClan leader, who was still waiting for the rest of the clan to assemble.

leader // @all

now standing before the eager faces of the clan, alderstar was once again reminded of why he took so much pride in being a leader - seeing such a well-together group look to him for answers made his chest soar, and he couldn't help but grin as he stood there atop the tree stump, though, his grin was customary in nearly all social interactions. reveling in a small breeze that swept through his pelt, ruffling his ears and tails, he looked to the sky for mere moments, blinking carefully to block the sudden, piercing rays of the sun. i know starclan to have approved my choice. he gave a slight, mouthed "thank you", before leveling his head, now taking on a new expression of energy and fire, as opposed to his previous calm stature. eyes widened and spirited, he erupted; "cedarclan! for those unaware, i have called this meeting today to announce our new deputy. i understand that we need a cat who will continue our current legacy of unity and togetherness, a cat who will aid myself in guiding our clan to a brightened future, and a cat, who will continue on this path of success in my own wake." always one for fluffed language, alderstar paused to allow his words to sink in, making note to receive feedback on the spirit of his speech through the faces of those below.

before continuing, his golden eyes glinted to rowanflame's, a hint of cheekiness striking alderstar's face, only to then return his vision to a more general sight. "therefore, i say these following words before starclan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. the new deputy of cedarclan, is rowanflame. "

the white tom was asleep in the apprentices' den, his tail tucked gently over his nose. he was dreaming, and it wasn't good. he was twitching ever so slightly, and when the leader, alderstar, called for a meeting, oddpaw was jolted out of his dream and sleep. his ears swiveled in the direction of the leaders voice, and he quickly opened his odd colored eyes. he lifted his head and slowly stood, before making his way outside of the apprentices den. he passed several cats along the way, however he was looking for one main cat, robinfoot. when he didn't see her however, his eyes scanned the clearing for anyone else that he may be able to talk to. he turned to look over his shoulder, where he spotted sagepaw. he stiffly wandered up to her, stopping besides her. "hey sagepaw," he meowed, before stretching his back, making an ark. he then let out a wide yawn, and laid himself down besides the other apprentice. he listened quietly as alderstar continued speaking. he admired alderstar, and looked up to him for the fact that he always seemed so confident. he strained his ears to listen, and the pause came over the clearing, as they awaited the new deputies name to be said. "the new deputy of cedarclan, is rowanflame". oddpaw approved of the choice quietly, before he sat up, and began to yowl the new deputies name.

the pastel calico was wide awake before alderstar called a clan meeting. she lay in her nest though, watching the stars outside. when he called the meeting however, she slowly stood, and made her way outside. glancing around, she spotted swiftclaw. she slowly made her way over to the tom, and touched her tail to his shoulder gently, before sitting next to him. "hello swiftclaw," she purred to him quietly, before drawing her tail over her paws. "who do you think the new deputy will be?" she asked, before turning her head towards alderstar. she listened to who the new deputy was, and was pleased when she heard rowanfeathers name. she approved, he was an older warrior, older than the most, and he was wise and knowing. she let out a quiet purr and began to chant rowanfeathers name.

the tom cat flicked his ear hearing pebblesong approach him and speak his name, he opened his maw to give an answer but was drawn back as alderstar called the new deputy's name. he smiled a little hearing that it was rowanflame, his thick black and white tail curled around his large paws as he raised his head and yowled rowanflame's name in approval along with the rest of his clan mates.

wildeye raised his head a bit more perking his ears as he caught the name rowanflame, his eyes sparked with approval and he called out rowanflame's name along with the clan. a great choice for deputy.. hopefully he'll keep alderstar in check and his head on straight.. he thought to himself as his yowls mingled with the rest of the clan's.

the small molly emerged from the apprentice den right after oddpaw, she had sat down when she heard alderstar pronounce rowanflame as deputy. she glanced towards sagepaw, wondering how proud she must feel for her mentor, she joined in on the fun of calling the older warrior's name. her mind absently thought to where dapplepaw had gone off to as she didn't remember seeing the apprentice in her nest when she left the den.

the feathery pelted tabby molly nodded lightly as she heard the new deputies name, best he could have chosen out of all of us in honesty.. rowanflame is a good warrior, a good choice on behalf of alderstar this time around she let out a short amused purr at her own thoughts before opening her maw to call rowanflame's name. she hopped to be one of the first to congratulate the new deputy, she wondered how surprised he was right about now.

snowpaw heard the echoing of alderstar's speech from inside the medicine den, he emerged half way from the shaded opening. his eyes flickering across the camp clearing, he heard his clan mates clearly calling rowanflame's name, the pure white tom did not raise his head to join them as he normally would do. he was looking for someone, his bicolor eyes meet a bright white pelt across the way from the medicine den, oddpaw he thought absently of his brother. something felt off about today, or at least he felt off. the medicine cat apprentice popped back inside the den, wanting to busy himself with something.

sagepaw's ears pricked up as oddpaw laid beside her. "mmph, hey;" she said lamely. she had used up all of her flourishing energy moments before and was now struggling to get her breath after some rambunctious scrambling. as alderstar's called of the new deputy surrounded the camp, sagepaw's ears perked up and her whiskers twitched in affection for her mentor as she called out his name; "rowanflame, rowanflame!" she mewed excitedly, voice still somewhat raspy. as the excitement died down, however, she remembered more and more of her dream. she shook her head decisively. "must have eaten too much fresh kill last night..." she muttered to herself as she stretched, preparing for a long day of training ahead of her.

as timbertail picked up a small shrew, he immediately dropped it and decided, though hungry, he would eat after he had hunted. he sat down somberly in the clearing near wildeye before the ceremony began. timbertail heard alderstar's decision of rowanflame, and approved. "a good choice;" he murmured under his breath. he turned around to check on his sister before joining a patrol, and seeing she was sitting contentedly with oddpaw outside of the apprentice's den, went to go see rowanflame to ask if he could hunt.

Rowanflame listened intently as Alderstar spoke, describing his aspirations for his new deputy and asking StarClan to approve of the appointment. At the end of his speech, Rowanflame expected Alderstar to call out the name of one of the other valued members of the clan, like Scorchtuft or Wildeye. He didn't though. The esteemed CedarClan leader called out Rowanflame's name.

The orange tabby tom eyes grew a bit wide and his breathing paused as the felines around him chanted his name. Rowanflame was slightly shocked. Yes he was one of the oldest warriors, but he never thought that he could be picked for deputy. It took only the span of a heartbeat for Rowanflame to gather his wits. His surprise was quickly replaced with pride and determination to let Alderstar and StarClan know that he would excel as the new deputy.

"Thank you, Alderstar. I hope that I can meet your expectations and honor Riverfang's spirit." (just picked a random name for past deputy, please let me know if it needs to be changed <3) Rowanflame's words rang out, his voice filled with conviction and his sense of duty. He hoped that none of the other cats in the clan disapproved of the appointment. He figured he would find out soon enough if they did, though.

Hollowstep had taken a seat in the background of the flock of felines. She had been sleeping soundly in her den when Alderstar's voice had shook the camp, waking the many slumbering cats. Alderstar's call actually hadn't woken the brown tabby she-cat. What had woken her had been the pawsteps and movements of the other warriors waking up around her. And so, tired and grumpy, the warrior had grudgingly exited the warrior's den also and sat behind everyone else.

While Alderstar spoke, she had worked on cleaning her pelt to the best of her ability, only paying half of her attention to the leader's words. She glanced up when the new deputy was revealed to be Rowanflame. Hollowstep listened as the cats around her chanted his name, and she too took up the chant. Rowanflame was a valued member of the clan, and even though she never had a real conversation with him, she felt that he would make a good deputy. As Rowanflame spoke out to Alderstar and the cats around him, Hollowstep bent her head down and resumed her halfhearted grooming.

Once she felt that her long pelt was in a somewhat presentable state, the brown warrior turned her thoughts to the agenda of the day. She hoped to be put on a hunting or border patrol, so that Brookpaw could accompany her and they could work on tracking, but if that plan didn't pan out, she figured that a bit of battle training would serve just as well.

Dapplepaw had overslept. The little fluffy ball of white and gray fur had been curled up in her warm moss nest as Alderstar's words called the clan cats together. Little Dapplepaw was obliviously, though, as she was in a deep, blissful sleep. In her dream, she ran through a field of tall, tall grass that was filled with beautiful wildflowers, and she was chasing the biggest, plumpest mouse she had ever seen.

It was only when the clan outside began to chant "Rowanflame, Rowanflame!" that the petite molly's pale blue eyes popped open. She was used to the warmth of her den mates sleeping around her, and felt their absence quickly. In the breadth of a second, Dapplepaw rolled onto her belly and swung her head from side to side, her pretty blue eyes quickly catching on to the fact that she was alone in the apprentice's den. Frantically, Dapplepaw leapt to her paws and darted out of the den, her fur a mess and her eyes still bleary from sleep.

Once out in the bright camp, Dapplepaw noticed three of her fellow apprentices, Sagepaw, Echopaw, and Oddpaw, sitting next to the den entrance, and she trotted over to them. "Oh goodness, what did I miss?" Dapplepaw asked curiously, her fur sticking out in a collection of cowlicks.

sagepaw's ears perked up as she heard dapplepaw exit the den. "glad to see you're awake, lazy-bones," she said, stifling a yawn. the apprentice was lazily laying beside her peers when the smaller cat had come up. "i wonder what our mentors have planned for us today?" sagepaw asked to herself, temporarily oblivious to the world around her. she was waiting intently for her mentor to finish whatever he was doing; sagepaw was no patient cat, and though she knew rowanflame had duties, she couldn't help but inwardly groan at how long she'd been waiting - though she knew it hadn't really been much longer after the ceremony had ended. while waiting, the young molly began to lick her paws and rub them behind her ears, realizing she had missed the crucial spot before beginning to speak again.
"maybe they'll take us out hunting; that's always fun. although, i am in the mood for battle training today.." she sighed wistfully, remembering how excited she was during her first moon of training. her chest still burning with pride for her mentor, she began to drift off in the warm sunlight.

warmth seeped through the den entrance of cedarclan's warrior den. the sun's rays gently caressed the pelts belonging to the cats of the clan. each feline separated from one another by individual sleeping nests, lined in the feathers of birds that they had caught only sunrises ago. occasionally a stray tail or paw would cross the invisible line between each cat deep in their slumber, but most slept in peace on good nights. recently, however, the clan had been troubled by the murder of two of their beloved clan-mates. found on the border of their very own clan, with no sign of the culprit.

one of the cats in particular, a pretty brown and white she-cat, was snuggled up in the corner of the den. her silky pelt hid the slightest tints of black and red, like a robin, and her green eyes represented the spring leaves in their prime. one of the molly's green orbs blinked open, closely followed by the other as she woke from her sleep. the attractive she-cat yawned and her jaws parted to reveal fangs capable of killing and tearing the flesh away from a full sized rabbit. the molly rose to her paws and stretched her back and legs before taking one last glance around the brightening den. her fellow warriors surrounded her and blocked the path between herself and the den entrance which made it more difficult to exit into the clearing.

robinfoot carefully picked her way across the stone floor, trying her best to avoid the tails of her clan-mates. she had nearly made it outside when a loud yowl interrupted the silence and startled her, causing her to stumble a bit and accidentally bump into one of her sleeping comrades, "oops! I am so sorry!" her quiet mew echoed amongst the den walls and then she quickly made her way over to the exit. robinfoot slipped through the entrance with ease and padded over to where the clan was gathering around the clan leader. alderstar looked confident as he stood on the top of the cedar stump, his pelt looked very well groomed and sleek, something that not most cats would notice. robinfoot took a spot over by the edge of the group as usual, her shyness showed greatly during social activities such as naming ceremonies. her leaf green gaze rested on her leader as he began the meeting and part of her was curious as to who would be the newly named deputy of cedarclan. hmm... scorchtuft would make a decent deputy. she thought of her friend, knowing that his determination and bravery would be good assets for a leadership position within the clan. when alderstar named rowanflame the deputy, robinfoot mentally clawed herself for not remembering the intelligent tom who was once her clan-mate when she had resides in leafclan. a fine choice by alderstar. she noted silently, though she gave a nod of approval and shouted his name once or twice.

"good morning robifoot," she meowed as she sat down in front of the molly, "I was wondering what you had plans for oddpaw today, I wanted to possibly train dapplepaw a few hunting tricks and I believe his skill in hunting would help my clumsy little apprentice." she meowed casting a loving soft gaze towards her apprentice a small smile on her maw as she thought of the friendly little she-cat.

"I wonder if i'll be able to go on morning patrol.. hopefully rowanflame gets to set it up before wildeye drags him away from his new duties." he gave a small purr of laughter.

leader // @rowanflame, open

listening to the motley cries of "rowanflame" drown out behind him, alderstar made his gradual decline from the cedar tree stump, claws scraping the elderly bark gently as he made a final leap. now, leveled off with the rest of the clan, he peered above the bobbing heads to single out rowanflame, parting the dissolving crowd to speak to the tom. once arriving, his tail remained raised as he came to a stop in front of the reddened cat, then, contorted and turned his body so that he was positioned parallel with the deputy, before lowering his head to speak. "congrats friend, i know you'll do a fine job as deputy, else i wouldn't have picked you." he began, peering up from the ground to look at rowanflame slyly from the corner of his eye, before returning his gaze to the dirt ground. "as you might have guessed, you can set up patrols later today." relaying the synopsis of rowanflame's duties, alderstar happened to peak his eyes the moment the lanky, bounding wildeye began to approach, and with that, the leader concluded his time. dipping his head to face rowanflame a final moment, he ushered a quiet quip; "now, i won't keep you." nodding minutely towards the approaching cats, and with his last remark being said, alderstar flicked his tail and lifted his head, trotting a distance away.

observing the small gaggles of activities throughout camp, buzzing conversations and restless bodies, alderstar felt he had little to do until patrols were announced. understanding the warm, amiable weather was something to be savored, alderstar dipped by rowanflame, wildeye, and timbertail once more, and as he did so, whipped up a small, colored bird from the fresh kill pile, carrying it gently in his maw towards an area in between the warrior and leaders den. still standing as he ate, as to not immediately dirty his belly so early in the morning, alderstar carefully organized the bird's assorted feathers in a orderly pile as he plucked them from flesh, then tenderly ate the prey in a few mouthfuls. settling his stomach well, alderstar took to basking in the pure, unfiltered sunlight.
