[Firestar]

Firestar jumped up onto the highledge. "all cats old enough to catch there own prey gather here beneath the highledge"firestars loud call rang through out the ston hollow. He watched as cats gathered around. It was nearly moon high and he needed to appoint his deputy.

black moon walked among them his eyes fixed on firestar

[singetail]

Coalclaw sat near the back of the crowd, his tail curled over his paws. His amber eyes were fixed on Firestar.

blackmoon sat down awaiting what firestar had to say

[Firestar]

Firestar looked down at blackmoon and flicked his tail signaling him to sit beneath the highrock. "the time has come to name thunderclans new deputy."firestar voice rang out."I say these words before starclan, that the spirits of our ancestors can hear my choice and approve of it"he continued. The clearing grew dead silent.
"blackmoon will be thunderclans new deputy"firestar said.

[seth]

blackmoon did as ordered and sat beneath the highrock and bowed to firestar

[Firestar]

"do you promise to your clan and starclan above us, to carry the warrior code, protect your clan with your life,and to stay loyal to your deputy duties?"firestar asked.

[seth]

blackmoon continued to bow and said "i do"

[Firestar]

"then i declare you deputy of thunderclan"firestar said. While cats were cherring blackmoons name firestar was choked with guilt about graystripe. He was his bestfriend...he has to come back... he said. graystripe wherever you are.......starclan guide you firestar prayed....and he walked into his den and curled up in his nest and stared at the stone wall.

blackmoon rose his head and began to walk away
