Chapter XIX: The Meeting and the Lecture.

Jemma:

Date: July 19, 2020.

We, along with the rest of the Sun Chasers Division made it to the meeting area with CosmoPelt –now Chief CosmoPelt– in the front with the new joint leader, AdderNose, by his side.
Once we made it, we went up the rest of the group where after greeting us, they took a good look at the Sun Chasers Divisions and then at us where CreamFur then went on to ask: "Things are a lot different no that Chief FalconTalon's gone, eh?"

Sadie: "When you put it that way, yeah. His family is devastated by his death and I can't but gice them empathy for their loss and I'm pretty sure everyone here is probably wondering why Chief FalconTalon isn't here at this meeting but soon Chief CosmoPelt will explain everything once the meeting begins."

"Fellow animals of the forest, I am sure you all are wondering why Chief FalconTalon isn't here and why AdderNose is in my usual spot." Chief CosmoPelt began once the meeting started. "It is with a heavy that I annouce that Chief FalconTalon was found dead outside of the camp yesterday. He went to go and investigate an area that was marked by the same rogues that're responsible for the murders of several females and now males, mark, mark others areas and then come straight back to the Division, but come late afternoon yesterday, he did not return back and Sadie immediately believed that something must've happened to him that was causing him not to return back, and we all went on a patrol to go look for him. And below and behold, my suspicions were right as we found his body outside of the camp. We are all devastated by his death, but I will say this now, we have every reason to suspect that the same mysterious group of rogues that were responsible for the deaths of numerous females and now males are responsible for all of this."

The news was met by condolences and solace from the other animals of the Divisions. "In addition to this, that does not mean that we should just go out of our way to find the rogues responsible for this as a way advenge his death. We cannot cause further conflict for us and the rest of the forest, we must forgive and forget." Chief CosmoPelt added in.

ScarFace: "That doesn't matter, we'll do it anyway!"

FiercePounce: "No, ScarFace! Weren't you ever taught the meaning of forgive and forget when you were an apprentice?"

ScarFace: "Like I said before, it doesn't because we'll still do it anyway and without question!"

Abigail: "For the love of God, ScarFace, if you don't shut the damn hell up and move on from this, I swear to God, and I am not kidding, I will go to the nearest pawn shop, buy a goddamn pistol and shoot it right through your big fucking mouth! I am not joking either, I will fuckng do it! I will go to the nearest pawn shop, buy a gun and kill you right in front of the whole Division with it! So shut. The hell. Up!"

Aurora, Amethyst, Bellatrix, Summer, and Chief DoveFeather: "Abigail!"

Abigail: "What?"

Amethyst: "That is enough."

Abigail: "That's enough from you."

Amethyst: "I haven't even done anything and I am not in the mood to argue over this right now. If you wanna fight, then let's take it to the back after this meeting concludes."

Abigail: "Ight bet."

MoonStone: "Are you two done?"

Amethyst: "We're done. We'll… talk more after the meeting."

Chief GorseHunter: "Good. Now I do not want to hear another interruption frm anybody whether you're from my Division, or from another Division, or even from the Protectors themselves. This meeting must go forward without any further interruptions. I hope I am making myself clear here and if there is a problem between somebody, wait till after the meeting to talk things out."
