Paragraph Gang? yeah I think so 😎😎 //
Also sorry this took so long to get out LMAO- had to do some research about who's a new warrior and what not lol. so ty Z for helping me with that <33 (platonic hearts for you) //
Also- small HC(?) that uhhhh- yeah, big battle to kill Whitestar happened, Whitestar died, other cats die, Clans rejoice over the loss (except Scorch, Rain, Badger, and Breeze {is there more cats? idfl} who are his loyal followers), resting period happens for the clans to rebuild or whatever, now gathering is happening— if that makes sense lol //
Squirrelstar watched the clans settle and after a few moments spoke again, her voice reaching all ears and echoing below. "Greetings everyone! Hopefully, you've all had a good recovering period, and are all happy and healthy after Whitestar's leadership," she spoke calmly.
The muscular ginger leader gazed over at ThunderClan as she spoke.
It seemed as if the clan was a bit smaller than the rest of the clans.
A few ThunderClan cats looked ashamed at the mention of their former leader and looked away from the burning glances of the other clans. Many ShadowClan warriors glared coldly at ThunderClan, not bothering to hide their hostile glares.
One ThunderClan she-cat looked heartbroken from where she sat next to ginger tom. Squirrelstar quickly took notice of how she stared up at the leaders and the RiverClan leader could see the pain in her amber eyes from where she sat. It was quite shocking honestly, she knew some cats felt guilt but that much? She honestly felt a little worried for the ThunderClan molly.
"But still, I'm sure we can all agree that we're glad he's gone, and know that Fawnstar will be the leader that ThunderClan deserves." she gave the golden-brown leader another nod, Fawnstar mewed a quiet thanks before letting her speak again.
"RiverClan will start the gathering if you don't mind." clearing her throat, Squirrelstar's tone changed to a happier one, excited to announce her kit's being made into warriors.
"RiverClan has much news!" she declared.
"Our nursery is full. Featherheart and Applewhisker have both had two beautiful and lovely kits each. Both queens have asked that the names of their kits not be revealed, so I will respect their wishes."
Squirrelstar paused for a breath, "Coldriver, Rabbitswimmer, Sandstripe, Dustshadow, and Snowdapple have all become warriors, and Heatherpaw and Reedpaw have become apprentices, with Reedpaw's mentor being Patchshade." her tone was warm as the clans began to chant the many new names.
All her kits sat proudly beside each other with puffed-out chests and proud smirks. Squirrelstar looked on. Her heart was so full that it made her chest ache. After a few moments, the chants died down and all eyes turned back to her.
"Even though I wish I was done speaking," she chuckled, trying to make some light of the next topic. "I'm afraid I'm not and this time, it is not pleasant news as RiverClan has had… more than enough casualties these past moons. As you all have had, I'm certain."
Worried whispers sounded below but Squirrelstar ignored them as she continued.
"In the battle with all the clans, Mothfoot, Amberbird, Graysplash, Snowstorm, and… my son, Milkpaw all died." A shocked silence met her words, "I had to perform a dying apprentice ceremony, and Milkpaw was named a true warrior, Milkstrike."
She noticed the other leaders giving her sympathetic glances as she looked down at her paws for a moment.
Squirrelstar sighed quietly before looking back up, "The lake has been full of fish and RiverClan has had full bellies. That is all." she dipped her head at Swiftstar to signal she was finished speaking, and that it was the WindClan leader's turn to speak.
Is this good? idfk how to write a gathering announcement? warriors wiki didn't help at all with anything— Tallstar's Revenge did so- thank you chapter whatever helped me! (i think it was chapter 10 or sum) //
More Squrrielstar angst anyone? //
also- don't mind if you go to re-read this or whatever and some text is changed for better wording or whatever- I'm quite tired and it's 10:13 pm over here as I'm writing this lol //
