As the first light of dawn painted the sky in hues of pink and gold, the clan gathered in solemn silence, mourning the loss of Firestorm. Dewstorm, her eyes heavy with sorrow, cradled Duskkit close to her heart, seeking solace in the warmth of her kit's presence amidst the cold grip of grief.

Whispers of sorrow rippled through the gathered cats, their expressions somber and hearts heavy with the weight of loss. The air was tinged with a sense of mourning, the absence of Firestorm a palpable void in the clan's ranks.

Amidst the sea of mourning cats, Falconstar, the proud and regal leader, stood tall at the head of the clearing. His gaze swept over his clan, his expression a mixture of excitment and pride as he addressed his warriors with a voice that resonated with authority.

"My fellow warriors," Falconstar's voice rang out, strong and unwavering, cutting through the veil of sadness that hung over the clan. "Today, we mourn the loss of a valiant warrior, Firestorm. He fought with courage and honor, and his legacy will live on in our hearts and memories."

The cats bowed their heads in reverence, a solemn chorus of murmurs rising in agreement with their leader's words. Falconstar's pride in his clan shone brightly in his eyes, a beacon of strength and unity in the face of adversity.

"We will honor Firestorm's memory with a vigil tonight," Falconstar continued, his voice harden with triumph. "May his spirit find peace in the starry skies above, and may his courage guide us through the challenges that lie ahead." They were all his empty words.

As the clan dispersed to begin their day, a sense of quiet determination settled over the clearing. The echoes of grief mingled with Falconstar's proud words, weaving a tapestry of remembrance and resilience that would shape the clan's path in the days to come. And amidst it all, Duskkit, cradled in Dewstorm's embrace, gazed up at the sky with eyes that held the promise of a new dawn and the strength of a warrior yet to be revealed.

Yet, the day must not stop because of the shadowed death of the great deputy who had calmed endless disagreements throughout the clan. Under the powerful gaze of the sun, Falconstar, the proud leader of the clan, stood at the edge of the clearing, his eyes sharp and commanding. The time had come to organize the patrols, to ensure the safety and security of his clan in the wake of recent events. With a firm nod, he called his warriors to attention, their forms silhouetted against the golden light that bathed the clearing.

"Warriors of ShellClan," Falconstar's voice rang out, strong and unwavering, carrying with it the authority of a leader born to command. "It is time to organize the patrols for the night. We must remain vigilant and protect our borders from any potential threats that may lurk in the shadows and a new Deputy will rise in my will."

The warriors gathered around him, their eyes reflecting the sun's light with a mix of determination and loyalty. They knew that under Falconstar's leadership, they were a force to be reckoned with, a united front against any who dared to challenge their clan.

"Lightstep, you will lead the border patrol along the northern edge of our territory," Falconstar's voice cut through the night like a blade, assigning tasks with precision and authority. "Keep a keen eye out for any signs of intruders and report back immediately if you encounter any suspicious scents or movements."

"Hollyblossom, you will lead the hunting patrol towards the eastern side of our territory," Falconstar continued, his gaze sweeping over the assembled cats. "Gather fresh prey for our clan, but do not wander too far from the safety of our borders. We must remain vigilant at all times."

His gaze burned through the clan, looking for one who will always be vicious, all like him. He spotted a cat, who looked pride of the death of Firewing. Looks like the Firestorm have enemies. In the thought of his name, he let out a bitter cough. "Well, I have decided Dashswipe will be the Deputy." Dashswipe raised a claw, threatening who disagreed with the chose, he let out a yowl of triumph, as Falconstar nodded, proud at his aggression.

As the patrols dispersed to carry out their assigned tasks, a sense of purpose and unity settled over the clearing. Each warrior moved with a quiet determination, their steps guided by the unspoken bond that tied them together as a clan.

Falconstar watched as his warriors disappeared into the forest, their forms were sorrowful as they set out on their patrols. He let out a snarl, they were supposed to be proud of his death! He knew that under his leadership, he will meet with unspoken disagreements, perhaps he should use action to threaten them.

And as the sun gave him a proud shine, casting a golden twilight over the camp , Falconstar stood tall, a beacon of strength and authority.

Falconstar turned towards his den, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of his warriors carrying out their duties with honor and loyalty, the pride for winning Firestorm overwhelmed his heart. The day was hard with work, ShellClan, a force to be reckoned with under the proud and vicious leadership of Falconstar.
