It was painful, the way all of this had happened. He had honestly thought he would have more time as deputy, but no. Now he was leader. He had nine lives, as weird as that sounded. As Daypaw licked his forehead, he hid his confusion, it was probably just something medicine cats did, too bad he couldn’t ask Halestar what it was like at her ceremony. He really needed to stop always coming back to Halestar. She was gone now, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he might as well deal with it. He smiled back at the enby, as he couldn’t think of anything else to do, so his smile turned out awkward, though it didn’t look forced, which it wasn’t. “Let’s do that,” he murmured, “Thanks Daypaw,” he added, as he was really grateful that they had sort of been there for him, even with all the craziness that had been happening for the past couple of days.

the apprentice nodded, starting to walk towards the exit of the cave. it was weird, to leave shadowclan territory with one leader and to return with another. it didnt bother daypaw, they had figured it was only a matter of time before halestar had stepped down. not that it was a bad thing, but she was overly stressed and paranoid. she did lead very well and held up shadowclans reputation, but this was a step forward. with the flood and the damage they have to face after they leave this cave was going to be alot of bare, but they didnt have a shred of doubt in goldenstar unless proven otherwise. ¨im sure youll be a great leader.¨ while daypaw didnt know the tom for that long and hadnt really talked to him, it was easy to read his nervous nature. they didnt mind providing the small reassurance, any new leader needed it. taking care of shadowclan was a team effort, both between leader,deputy and medicine cat, and hopefully with this new leadership the harmony can stay in tact.
