The sun was just reaching its highest point in the day when Kashstar and his patrol entered the camp. The sky was amazingly clear, but the usual moore land winds now brought with them more speed and a cold chill that penetrated down to the black toms flesh.
His limbs were barely holding him up. he paused at the heather and bramble entrance, and leaning up against a branch just before making an appearance, caught his breath for a minute. Any other time, kashstar thought, his recent activities wouldnt have been this much of a problem. He figured though that his fatigue was more mental than physical....
"Cats of WindClan, Let all those who are old enough to catch their own prey please meet me in the clearing!" he yowled, leaping, with great and visible effort, to his pedestal. No matter how much his body and mind yearned for rest and his belly for a meal, this was something that had to be taken care of ahora; now.

Pumpkinheart looked up from where she laid near the warriors den. She stood her eyes examining the leader. He looks tired... she thought trying to hide the sympathy in her eyes. Pumpkinheart padded forwards and sat down eager for the other cats to come so she wouldnt feel so awkward sitting there alone.

Snowstorm stuck close to Kashstar. "How are you feeling?" she asked standing beside him and giving him a reassuring smile. "I believe in you." she murmured.

Mousefire pounded into camp as Kashstar called the meeting. He hoped the meeting had gone okay, but he seemed tired. He skidded to a halt next to Pumpkinheart, curious as to what he would say. Was there another message from StarClan??

Kashstar blinked to snowstorm to indicate that he'd be fine. Cats were still filing out of their dens or hurridly finishing conversations so that they could join the clan gathering, and Kashstar, who was impatient for a bed, and anxious for the future to just hurry up already so he could get on with his new life, took in a deep breath and prepared to make his speech...
"My fellow Clanmates, The last time you saw me I was called Kashclaw. But, I have traveled to the highstones, entered the mothermouth, and found the moonstone where I shared tongues with our ancestors..." for a brief second he choked and broke off, but he quickly drew in another breath, hoping the audience wouldn't catch that he had suddenly acquired a frog in his throat at the mention of his dream. "...and it was there that they gave me my new name and my new nine lives. from this day forth, I am to be known as Kashstar." It felt odd, he thought, when it came out of his mouth.
"And so now that I am the new leader of Windclan...that leaves just one more problem" he gazed around the camp, "Who shall be my deputy? Seacross..." he beckoned the shecat to the front of the wrung of cats - has been a warrior here for longer than most cats here have, and I have watched her turn from a sometimes annoying, excitable, and mischievous kit... he gave a slight smile and added off to the side but still audible "as do we all" and then back in his louder tone continued to say "...to a very mature, intelligent, and stron hearted warrior, which is exactly the kind of cat whom i would imagine would be perfect at my side as deputy... Seacross, do you accept this responsibility?"

Seacross nearly tripped over her own paws. She had suspected this when Kashstar called her up, but still....her? As deputy? Was he insane? Yes, she had matured, but....
Seacross crushed her doubts, and held her head a bit higher. No, she did not understand Kashstar one bit, but that could come in time. And wasn't she just thinking, a little while ago, that Kashstar needed someone to take care of things as deputy? She could do that....
"I never expected this." she meowed, her voice pitched so that all the cats there could hear it. "Not for me, anyway."
Seacross stopped talking before she blurted out the little whispers of fear in her mind, telling her she wouldn't be good enough, or strong enough. That was not what she needed to say here. The little whispers did serve one purpose; Seacross's rebellious spirit peeked out just a bit.
She looked straight at Kashstar, her green-blue eyes filled with fierce determination. I can do this, and I will. I am not going to give up, and StarClan help whoever trys to stop me.
"I would be honored to." she meowed, speaking louder and clearly.
OOC: Slightly confusing post, but then, Seacross is slightly confused.

Mousefire looked up a little quizzically, a sprite of envy, anger, and disappointment in his eyes that he quickly requenished. He certainly hadn't expected Seacross at all, even if he wasn't picked. Ah well, he'd just have to work harder for next time................... he was starting to become a little anxious, he wouldn't have much time left for that chance. He had to stop showing this stuff, it could wreck his whole plan. Might even have already done that, who knows?

Snowstorm walked up beside Mousefire and smiled at him. Then turning her attention back to Kashstar and her friend her smile grew. She noticed Mousefire had a look of deep thought on his face and she nuzzled his neck. "Are you okay?" she whispered so no one else could hear as she continued to watch Kash and Seasle.

"Mmhm" he replied, waiting for Kashstar to make it official.

Snowstorm gave him a questioning look but turned and continued to gaze at her two friends.

Seacross shifted slightly, noticing Snowstorm and Mousefire behind her. She felt uneasy being the center of attention, but was determined not to show it.

ooc> in IC remember to refer to characters by their actual names and not their RP'ers sorry i left you guys hanging
ic> As Kashstar padded closer to Seacross and meowed in a quieter tone "You and I both..." Kashstar was referring to the unexpected turn of events; he had not counted on Rosestar's lives being taken from her so soon, and therefore promoting him. and Seacross was likely to be feeling the same way. "Its hard to be hit with all this when you are not expecting it, and i know that with your help we can pull through this and make WindClan just as strong as before." he smiled at Seacross weakly but in his dark green eyes there was a glimps of hope and deterination that flashed in them. He as putting alot of trust and faith into Seacross, and of al the other cats in the clan, there were none so as she, as well as experienced.
Kashstar then lifted his chin and spoke boldly and loudy, "Then by the powers vested as of recent, and with the whole of WindClan and StarClan as my witnesses, i hereby announce Seacross as my deputy!" and then he took another pawstep in and laid his chin gently on her forhead. Her fur felt warm from the sunlight that shone down from above, and it felt very comforting, and at the same time made him long even more for sleep.
ooc> i keep wanting to say 'Kashckaw' ^^;

ooc: i can understand why. ill have a hard time calling them lionblaze and hollyleaf(almost said hollypaw) in the books
Mousefire cheered along with all the other cats, the noise almost deafening. "Seacross! Seacross! Seacross!" though his cheer was partially half-hearted. It would take even more to pull through this, with the recent earthquake on top of all this. A hard leaf-bare to come,that was for sure.
