Anyways, on with the new chapter!
Chapter 9
When Sagepaw walked back into camp, there were many loud wails of sadness and distress. Wrenstar looked utterly horrified of her friend and deputy's death. Sagepaw felt awful too, that she could have told Wrenstar what had really happened if she hadn't rustled a few branches. Maybe she still would. Was she brave enough?
"Tonight, we will mourn Duskfur's tragic death. Tomorrow, we will have many ceremonies to conduct." Wrenstar announced.
Sagepaw just needed to sleep, so she went to her nest in the apprentice den for her final time, curled up, and went to sleep.
Sagepaw woke up to the sound of Wrenstar's voice.
"Every cat old enough to catch their own prey, come to the tall rock for a clan meeting!" Wrenstar called out.
So Sagepaw walked outside without even bothering to groom her fur. Every cat was gathering under the Tall Rock. Wrenstar jumped up on it and began to speak.
First, she said that Clawslash had lost his mentorship to Bouncepaw because of his outburst and attack on Sagepaw. This was much to the delight to Sagepaw, but Clawslash… not so much. He was so infuriated that he left the clan meeting. Wrenstar then gave Bouncepaw's mentoring over to Honeypelt.
Next, Wrenstar apprenticed the five remaining kits in the nursery, Sandykit, Larkkit, Leafkit, Sedgekit, and Boulderkit. Leafkit, now Leafpaw was given Cloudheart as his mentor. Sagepaw had cheered the loudest of any other cat for Leafpaw.
Finally, the moment Sagepaw was waiting for, her ceremony to become a medicine cat apprentice. Sagepaw had already told Tigerpaw and Leafpaw her decision and even though they were very surprised, they supported her decision.
"Sagepaw, come forward." As Wrenstar meowed this, Sagepaw stepped forward under the tall rock.
"It is my knowledge that you wish to switch from being a warrior apprentice to becoming a medicine cat apprentice?"
"It is." Sagepaw meowed firmly.
"You are now a medicine cat apprentice." Wrenstar meowed. Tigerpaw, Leafpaw, and Hawkwing were the only cats that cheered Sagepaw's name.
"One more thing." Wrenstar meowed loudly as many of the cats started to walk away. "I must choose a new deputy."
Murmurs broke out below from many cats, probably wondering who would become the new deputy.
"Starclan approve of my choice that Cloudheart will be the new deputy of Airclan!"
Ohhhhhhhhh, Eagleclaw has got to be absolutely furious! I hope that everyone enjoyed this chapter, and I will update soon!
