1. PURDYSTAR
The cats crowded around their fallen leader, grief in their eyes. Bramblestar was a noble leader who led Thunderclan through the aftermath of the Dark Forest's attack. If Tigerstar had plunged the forest into darkness, his son pulled it back to light. However, even the best of the leaders had to meet their end at some point.
However, a bigger worry filled the cats of the Thunderclan. Bramblestar hadn't named a deputy as the former deputy and his mate, Squirreflight had met her end only few hours ago in the battle against Windclan. The cats anxiously stood around, hoping that he'd name a deputy before his ninth death.
"What if he dies without naming a deputy?" A cat whispered.
"Thunderclan will be leaderless," another cat mewed, fear in her tone.
"How's he young 'un," Purdy stood by the clanleader, reminiscing their time together through the Great Journey.
"He's not going to make it," Jayfeather muttered. If he dies without naming a deputy, will we all be just a bunch of rogues? Or maybe Lionblaze could…
His thoughts were disturbed as Bramblestar twitched slightly.
"P…" Bramblestar's voice was weak. The cats moved closer, tension in the camp as they waited for him to name the next deputy and clanleader.
Jayfeather stopped to listen, "What?"
"Purdy…" Bramblestar's voice was faint. You are standing on my tail. He couldn't finish his sentence.
The clan was filled with sudden silence as Bramblestar's flanks stopped heaving, his spirit was already on the way to Starclan.
"Bramblestar!" Lionblaze yowled in sadness. Grief spread across the camp as the cats began to mourn for their dead leader. However, there was one cat who looked at his dead clan leader stone-faced.
"What happened?" Ivypool asked Jayfeather, realizing something was wrong.
"Purdy?" Dovewing looked at Purdy with the same expression Jayfeather wore. Her sharp ears let her hear Bramblestar's feeble announcement.
The rest of the cats looked at her as if she had gone crazy. However Jayfeather stood up, turning to the clan. "It is true, he named Purdy."
"What?" Berrynose exclaimed. "Are you both completely mouse-brained?"
"Young un', there must be a mistake." Even the once loner was finding it hard to believe. Jayfeather shook his head.
"Purdystar…." Ivypool said in a low voice.
Spiderleg looked at her with disbelief in his eyes.
"Purdystar!" Daisy joined.
"Purdystar!" "Purdystar!" Slowly one after the cats began to exclaim. Deep down everyone knew it was not the wisest choice one could ever make, but they couldn't overrule the clanleader's final words at the same time.
And thus begun the reign of Purdystar, the leader whose mews were full of stories from back when none of the forest cats were porn. The leader who would lead Thunderclan after the death of one of its greatest leader, Bramblestar.
