With only the wind to keep her company, Sagestar made her way through the forest to the Moonpool. She knew she couldn't survive in the forest alone, and so she decided that she wanted an advisor, someone to aid her in leading her clan as it grew.
After a long trek, she reached the Moonpool and gently touched her nose to its glimmering surface.
"StarClan bless me with a deputy to aid me. I have nothing to offer in return but my faith."
And she waited by the Moonpool for what felt like an eternity. Her paws started to ache by the time she heard pawsteps approaching her.
She whipped around to see a fluffy white tomcat with pale blue eyes.
"StarClan has sent me a dream," the cat said, awfully loudly for the short distance between them.
"I'll go ahead and assume my dream meant to go to you. Is that correct?"
Sagestar winced briefly at his volume but nodded.
"I would think so. I requested a deputy. Do you believe you're qualified for that kind of position?"
"I would like to say so. My name is Mallow, but I know enough about Clans to know that you'll probably add something or change that. Who're you?"
"I'm Sagestar, leader of RainClan."
Mallow paused for a few moments as if contemplating what he would say next.
"You should know that I'm mostly deaf. I may speak loudly, and you may have to repeat yourself. Does that affect your decision?"
Sagestar shook her head.
"Not in the slightest."
Time passed and Sagestar got to know her new deputy. Once she'd pinned down his most prominent trait, she gave him his suffix - cloud.
He simply nodded and smiled quietly when she told him.
Sagestar pondered the best choice for patrols for a few moments before deciding.
"Could you check the borders? I'll go hunting."
Her deputy nodded and got up to go check the borders, while Sagestar headed to hunt in the forest.
I have tooooons of other chapters (almost twenty, I think?) ready to go up and they are MUCH longer.
This is an older section, written back in April. Furutre chapters are better written.
