Taking in a deep breath as he watched everybody, Russetstar began to talk again, this time with a generally serious manner, which was unlike the tom- usually, he was quite the light-hearted cat, but this matter wasn't one to joke about. "I'm sure all of your know that our previous leader, Bucknight, was killed during the battle for our freedom from the dark forest." He blurted out, beginning to talk about how the clan didn't have any leadership, and how, well... that it needed some. "Thornfrost was exiled, and Skyclan has freed us at the cost of any leadership we had, leaving us with only a medicine cat- until now. Geckoleaf has received a sign from Starclan, saying that I was destined to become the newest leader- and so we traveled to the Starcave. I now have nine lives, and a new name- Russetstar."
"I'm honored to serve Riverclan, and hope that you will accept my leadership in kind."

Wildpaw had guessed right, russetswirl was the new leader of riverclan. This filled his heart with joy, since he heard good things of the tom before, he was a great friend, and a good pal in patrols. That's was what his mentor told him at least. He couldn't hold a shuffle of paws of excitement.

He then heard his friend shout the leader's name, and quickly tried to mimic the gesture.
"Russetstar! Russetstar!" he chanted in his honnor. To be honest, he didn't know the tom himself, nor much of the other warriors, but he only heard good of him, and he was chosen by starclan, the ones who the clans fought for recently, surely it was a great leader for riverclan. A smile crossed his maw, and he turned to moonpaw. She, too, had a warrior spirit, and the sense of honnor as well. She was younger than him, yet she was so far ahead of him in matter of training. He'd have to double the pace if he was to stay at her level.

She was now talking to him again. She seemed to mean something, but then changed her mind. He looked at her expression, trying to find what she meant to say. He had gotten worried for her lately, she seemed to have something crossing her mind every time, daydreaming or murmuring, and very often she started conversations about strange subjects that she shouldn't worry so much about. But again, she's always been like this, so this sudden change of mood seemed normal, again.
"Earlier?" He echoed. She didn't seem to want to go on with that, so he let it slip for this time.
"No idea. But I know they'll pick someone good." he meowed to the she, secretly praying that it would be his mentor, spiriteddark. How neat would that be if his mentor became the deputy?
