Orangesky looked on the mountain's horizon, to see the sun setting. He closed his eyes, and recited his possible deputies in his mind. Winterwind.. Goldface.. Snowpatch.. he thought. Bringing all three of them would be risky for WindClan, but he couldn't dare walk without them. If a leader died without a deputy.. Only StarClan would know what could happen. He looked down at the ground, and lay in the same place where he and Nightstar had talked about the battle. Her scent was still all over the place.
He leaped on top of the gray rock, and that alone seemed to get most attention. "Cats of WindClan! Tonight I will travel to the Moonstone to receive my place as a leader! I have been thinking for a while, and I have chosen to bring three cats along with me!" As the crowd gathered, he eyed the three cats.
"Snowpatch," he said the name of the old deputy. She was skilled, despite getting a little old. She was strong and hardy, a good deputy for WindClan.
"Winterwind," he yowled the past deputy's name. He was a good deputy, and he'd probably be able to outlive Winterwind, so he would get the honorable spot of deputy, which he truly deserved.
"Last, I will bring Goldface." Orangesky looked at the loyal warrior. He was leader material, but he hadn't showed too much to become deputy. Regardless, the warrior looked like he needed an adventure.
Orangesky leaped down from his rock, and stood in front of the cats. "The three of you are experienced warriors. You are to follow me to the Moonpool and guard me while I receive my nine lives from StarClan." He looked at all of them, waiting for them to come forward. "Eat up, we'll be departing soon."
