the fuzzy kit didn't know much of what was going on, but no cat really cared about him. as long as he wasn't a nuisance, he found that he could get away with a lot. and one of those things was watching clan meetings, amber eyes shining. he knew his time to be an apprentice was rapidly approaching, and his paws tingled in excitement at the mere thought of being able to go out, explore, train, and become the best warrior he could.

Moonkit observed silently as Dawnstar assigned the kits many new mentors. Being a leader must be difficult. I guess she has to deal with lots of stuff at the same time. She thought that maybe that was the source of the huge she-cat's everlasting stress, but maybe being cranky was just how she'd always been.

She wasn't particularly interested in this ceremony; after all, her own was nowhere close to be performed so she didn't even bother thinking about it. She enjoyed the free time she could spend with her siblings, but sometimes she found herself secretly wishing to have some job to do as well. Even if it was an easy life, it could become quickly boring.

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

It seemed like everyone was pleased with their mentors and apprentices, it's not like anyone could or would say anything if they weren't anyway. Dawnstar watched them go about their business before the clan settled once again and she could continue with the rest of the meeting.

"We've new faces to greet, Marble renamed Frostpaw, Oz renamed Vulturefang, and Jungle renamed Lionfang, are all new cats with outsider backgrounds. I initiated Frostpaw and Vulturefang, but Cinderblaze brought in Lionfang." Dawnstar did not mind that Cinderblaze had welcomed in Lionfang, it was less work for Dawnstar to weed out who should and shouldn't be joining ShadowClan. She'd take help from the enforcer if they wanted to deal with such a thing. However, that didn't mean she didn't care. If anything went wrong the backlash would fall on the one who brought the cat into a clan.

"Vulturefang and Lionfang will be getting mentors for at least the next moon, I'm not certain about Lionfang, but I know that Vulturefang needs to learn about our ways, our customs, and so on more than the actual training bit. They'll need to learn the borders and our territory as well." Dawnstar probably should have done the same with Slytiger and Owlstorm. However, the thought hadn't occurred to her and both of them had seemed competent enough to take matters into their own paws and seek out the knowledge they didn't have themselves.

"Shadowfur, besides the fact that you could do with learning how to keep a better eye on those you're responsible for, I don't mind if this one accidentally dies. He says he's useful, but so far all he's done is run his mouth and make my ears bleed. Regardless, he put up a convincing argument, so he might be worth something. Vulturefang will be your apprentice for a time. Inform me when you believe him to be trained, and he'll be out of your fur." This should be interesting if nothing else.

"Kinkcloud, you're training Lionfang, the same deal goes with him. It could take a moon could take six, I don't care how long just make sure that he knows how to conduct himself properly, and that he has the skills befitting of a warrior of ShadowClan." The leader ordered briskly before jerking her head in the direction of Frostpaw.

"Frostpaw, your mentor will be Fallenash." Normally Dawnstar would be done and leave it at that, but she wasn't done yet, oh no she was far from done. One by one, her huge talons slide out of the sheathes, making themselves visible to the eyes below as their owner pinned her ears back tightly against her skull. Her round pupils shrunk themselves into tiny slits, allowing the bright golden glare of her irises to scorch the cats below as they slowly wandered, meeting the eyes of those brave enough to test to her.

"So who was it?" Her tone, though controlled, cut like an icy leaf-bare breeze. The fur along the leader's back twitched and jumped as the powerful muscles beneath them were taut, filled with lethal tension. The rugged feline looked more like an apex predator than a cat. All and any antsy behavior had drained from her massive body, leaving her still as stone. Even the tail had stopped moving, it hung slightly curved over her back like a snake laying in wait to strike."Which of you brought in Frostpaw? Who brought her into my camp, my home, without telling me? Who the hell let her roam around unsupervised, without my permission?" There was no yelling, no shouting, just this eery hiss that built into a throaty growl with every question.

If Death were personified, Dawnstar would be one of its avatars. The leader was beyond livid, and getting very very tired of cats simply bringing outsiders into her home without asking or better yet making them wait away from camp and bring the leader to them. So many seemed to forget that this was ShadowClan's heart, yet so many still just let nobodies walk in like they had some right to it. Now, let's not get this wrong, Dawnstar was not blaming Frostpaw for walking into the clan, it's not like the former outsider knew any better. No, Dawnstar wanted to dig at the root of the problem and then rip it apart. This could not continue to happen.

"It's one thing when you drop off a hairball, I still don't like it, but I can tolerate that. Which is the only reason the ones who brought in Larkpaw as a kit still have their ears attached to their heads. Hairballs are kits that are relatively harmless, but cats six moons and older, you should have the common sense to inform me, one of our high ranks, or our Enforcers before you let them roam around our home." Dawnstar did not like the whole security breach that accommodated outsiders, rogues, and loners, that weren't approved by someone that Dawnstar trusted, as minuscule as that trust may be, posed. If her clanmates were going to get hurt or end up dead, it was going to be on Dawnstar's terms.

Ruepaw's eyes flicker with excitement as the leader turns the mood of the meeting to ice. His gaze dances over his Clanmates, as though looking for the purrpetrator.

[occultation]

Shadowfur jerked his head up in surprise as Dawnstar called his name. Just a few moments ago, he’d been sulking, fully convinced that he’d never get another apprentice. Now, excitement surged through his pelt. This was his chance to prove to ShadowClan that he was worth a hare or two.

Tail lashing, he stalked forward. He hadn’t felt this good since before Hailpaw’s death. He searched for Vulturefang among the crowd.

( @Leafí I think I tagged the right person)

[puppeteer]

Dappledleaf felt her ears pin back slightly at the mention of Larkpaw. That was something she would never confess to, especially with Dawnstar as leader. She was surprised some cat hadn't died bringing Frostpaw here. That was an achievement.

[!0P055UM!]

Kinkcloud looked around curisoly, wondering where his new apprentice, Lionfang was. That would be intresting to train a loner. His fur fluffed out as Dawnstar's mood changed. Starclan, was that scary. He looked up at Dawnstar for a second before gazing around. He feared for the cat, as well as the rest of his clanmates. The kits, including the kits. He hoped no blood would be shed. But in this clan, you never quite knew.

Vixensnarl's ears pricked to attention when Dawnstar assigned her an apprentice. Frigidpaw... she was the annoying one. Hopefully, she'll be mature enough now that she's an apprentice. She really didn't want to deal with Frigidpaw wining through the whole apprenticeship, but she also couldn't just through her off the training cliff since the apprentice was her niece. Ugh.

The Enforcer's green eyes regarded Frigidpaw coolly as she padded over and leaned down to touch noses when Frigidpaw reached up. "I'll take you on a territory tour after this. And don't think that you'll get any special privileges just because you're my niece and Dawnstar's granddaughter."

With that said, Vixensnarl's attention turned back to the leader as Dawnstar spoke again, but this time it was different. The large molly was clearly enraged about something, and not in the usual way. This was quiet anger, and whoever was at the end of it was most likely dead if they didn't have a hell of a good reason for bringing Frostpaw back.

Robinfeather shrank back at the sight of her leader so mad. Oakshade flicked his ear, caught off guard.

Jaypaw just looked at his leader
