High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

Flakes of wood and moss fluttered to the clearing as the leader's claws ripped and tore up her perch. The pliable truck was left with huge indents where her claws had churned, stopping only when a sliver pricked one of her toes. The volume was no louder or noisier than any other meeting, if anything it was quieter. She knew it was the hostility rolling off her like crashing waves threatening to drown anyone who so much as said a word about it.

There wasn't a real reason for her to be so pissed off at everyone, she just was Well, except for him. She had all the reasons to hate Slytiger. Before the urge to go and hit him overwhelmed her, the clan leader raised her tail over her head to make sure all eyes were on her.

"Wildkit, Wormkit, and Mintkit. It's time for your apprentice ceremonies." She summoned the three before glancing around for the one apprentice. "Midnightpaw, sit behind them we'll do your ceremony right after." Dawnstar drags her claws across the trunk once more.

"Since it has been quiet as of late. I'll be lifting the restriction and allow you to go outside of camp alone again." Dawnstar's golden eyes fixated on Flashpaw as she spoke next. "Or at least that is what I had been planning to do before the attempted murder. Starrypelt attempted to kill Flashpaw while she was out on patrol, alone, thanks to her inept patrolmates. Flashpaw was lucky enough to kill her and get away with her life. I don't know if it's something in the water or our new home, but this is the second time in a moon that I've had to deal with clanmates trying to kill clanmates." Were they restless or something? It didn't make much sense to her.

"So instead of lifting the restriction, I'll be amending it. I'll let you go out in pairs, which means no less than two cats are allowed out of camp. Since I've had frequent reports of cats being found outside of camp alone and completely disobeying my orders, I've decided that those of you who actively chose to disobey orders don't deserve a place in ShadowClan. I've been too soft with mere demotions. So any cat caught outside of camp alone will be exiled or executed. You will be given one chance to explain yourself for going against my direct orders, however, if I don't like it you're gone." It sucked that she had to such extremes, but this was getting tedious.

"If we can go till the next meeting without any more trouble, I think about lifting the restriction. Even though I've placed my Enforcers in charge of helping keep order and protecting the clan, those of you who actively work alongside and assist them, and that doesn't mean running around undermining them, can and will be rewarded fairly for it."

Dawnstar sure by now a few cats had to be disgruntled with the state of things. That or silently judging her and her Enforcers, thinking they could do a better job, but have been sitting on their asses doing nothing. It was easy to sit back and think you could do a better job, but talk is cheap. Things might change if more cats put in the work and assisted her and the Enforcers.

Dawnstar has proven that she's willing to listen and work with her clanmates, especially if her prior plans aren't working. All the leader wanted was for the murders to stop and for her clan to be safe within their own home. Hell was bearing these little rascals in hopes of further strengthening her clan and being wholeheartedly miserable while doing so.
