Marshstorm's heart weighed heavily in his chest as he observed camp. His gaze fell onto a young brown tabby apprentice. Eaglefang was no longer here, his heart clenched at the knowledge. He was in starclan now... with the other ancestors, with the rest of his family. The pain that went through him at the thought made him shudder and wince. Still, the apprentice was young. They needed a cat to guide them, despite the painful death of his own grand nephew, there was no reason or sense behind delaying it. Slowly, he stood and padded to high rock. His leap onto the top landed with a soft 'thud' as he misjudged the distance. This would be his first announcment, and part of him was thrilled, yet scared.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting!" He yowled, as he forced his voice to remain calm. He could do this.
