[bg=989898][cs=7] kit;; Milkydew the new leadernotes;; new deputy... new leader... words;; 227 Milkydew sighed. Drowningstar was dead, and they needed to bury her body. He took a deep breath, and stepped out of his new den, his eyes sullen and grey. "Cats of Riverclan, please gather." He called to the clan. They didn't know yet, only Milkydew and Deadfoot did. Deadfoot looked sullen, and bowed his head sadly. "As you may already know, Drowningstar has not been out much. Drowningstar went out to the river to hunt, but was swept under, and due ot her strength being sapped yb her illness, she wasn't able to swim to safety." Milkydew said. "She was found by the lake, and we brought her back to be buried near her clanmates." Milkydew said, turning his head to her den where her soggy, dead body lay. "And sticking with tradition, I must name my deputy by sundown." Milkydew said, looknig at the cats. Mooncloud, Addertongue and Waterpelt were the only candidates. Addertongue was too young, Mooncloud too old, so that left only Waterpelt. "The time has come to appoint a new deputy. I say these words before Starclan so that the spirits of our ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. Waterpelt will be the new deputy of Riverclan." Milkydew said, looking at the she-cat. "I am going to take Waterpelt and Addertongue with me to the highstones so I may receive my leader name and nine lives." Milkydew said. "You may pay your respects to Drowningstar before we bury her."

[[Drowningstar was swept away in the current, and pulled under.. due to her sickness, she was unable to be as strong of a swimmer as usual. Her body was found near the lake.]]

Currentpaw slunk out of the apprentice's den with a sleek grace. Her father's call was strange, seeing as he was deputy. The sun was shining as she sat down, her black spots absorbing the light, her white areas reflecting the light. Her ruby red eyes tracked to her father and mentor's form on the high area. Her ruby eyes went wide at the words. Drowningstar's dead?! How is that possible? The leader who welcomed me, though grudgingly, and was her leader whom she never really had a problem with, was dead? She shook her head, and sent up a silent prayer to her passed on leader. Drowningstar, I know you know now. Are you proud of me even through my half-clan heritage? Then he announced his new deputy, Waterpelt. She perked up then. Waterpelt was a wonderful cat. "Waterpelt! Waterpelt! Congratulations!" she cheered, her light soprano voice echoing. Wait a second. Her father was going to be LEADER? Oh dear StarClan... Let's hope MilkySTAR isn't very erratic and hair-brained... Oh great StarClan. I worry for my father and mentor... She shook her head and licked her paw, rubbing it over her ears.
