"Weclome, warriors and felines of RushingClan. I brought you all here today because it is time for me to announce our new Deputy! Now, I know that lately it's been rough on us, with us losing cats from our clan and our last deputy. I understand that grieving is something we all do at some point, but we still need to be strong! Now, without further ado, I would like to introduce our new Deputy: Mossystone! I know that some of you might question me, but I've seen him evolve from what he was before. He has shown that he is able to change, and for that reason I will officially announce him as RushingClan's new Deputy, and I hope he will be welcome with loving paws and turn into a fine deputy."

The new RushingClan Deputy is Mossystone! This is because the auditions have been up for a week, so I needed to make a decision. I hope that this will bring fun plots into the future and create fun character development for everyone.

Mossystone took a deep breath and stepped out, feeling nervous and scared.
' Was I really the best choice?' He thought,' I'm so young and there are so many warriors to choose from.'
He shook his head.' No, I gotta be brave. For Blueshores. For Nettlestep. For Coldheart and Pikepaw!'

Mossystone looked into the crowd, trying to catch his brother and mentor's eye. Hopefully Pikepaw wouldn't mind Mossystone bossing him around he thought to himself with a smile.

Mossystone bowed his head to the crowd of gathered cats." I-I hope I can be a great deputy and serve you all for a long time." He mewed.

[Heyyew]

A long time? No doubt. At least if he lived. He was young, naturally he could have many years ahead of him. Or he could be killed. Or just have a rock fall on him for no goddamn reason. Hibiscussting agreed with Nightstar- Mossystone was young. But he could become what Rushingclan needed given time...

She glowered up at the leader. It had barely been a day since Blueshores and Nettlestep had died, considering the rule that leaders had to pick their deputies within the next moonrise of their last deputy dying. And it still hurt. She blamed herself for Nettlestep’s death. But not nearly as much as she did Nightstar, for freezing in a moment of crisis and putting his clan in danger. She turned away from them, offering a cursory smile to Mossystone. “You’ll be alright.” She meowed softly to him.

No matter what he’d surely be better than Nightstar.

" Thank you, my friend." He purred.

Mossystone shook out his dilute striped pelt.
It felt nice having someone root for him. Hopefully the others did as well.
