Warriors Blinding Stars

Chapter 13

RiverFall's POV

"This is mouse brained! Any kit could see this is impossible! Leader's are losing lives willy nilly! And that leaves clans venerable to any threat! Why in StarClan would StarClan even do this us!?"

Yowled BrindleStar stood up glaring at RiverFall, than back at BearStar. The tom stood up and had narrowed eyes at the MeadowClan leader, this is... strange... leader's losing lives like this is weird? He thought and felt the tension in the air.

"It was our leaders time! You can not blame her for dying and going to StarClan!"

Hissed BearStar with frustration, RiverFall stepped up and gave a firm snarl and clawed the rock beneath his paws.

"Enough! StarClan has a prophecy and we must fulfill it! We cannot do it if we are clawing each others pelts off!"

The leaders turned to RiverFall, fury burning in their eyes. BrindleStar narrowed her eyes at RiverFall and curled her lip showing thorn sharp teeth.

"Of course all you can think about is that fur brained prophecy! Your clan has some of the most powerful cats in the forest!"

She hissed and stepped forward at RiverFall, he shifted his paws and stood up straight and narrowed his eyes at the leader.

"Rivalry is always a pleasure, BrindleStar."

He meowed and gave a slight nod of respect to the leader, and the leaders sat back down. RiverFall could hear YarrowStar muttering something.

"Like Fire They Will Burn, And Have Unimaginable Strength... But Light Will Rise, Blind, and Corrupt.."

RiverFall looked at BearStar and sighed, than stretched his paws and meowed.

"I have an understanding you were a fine deputy, who have you chosen as your deputy?"

BearStar smiled and sighed.

"I have chosen NightWatcher as my deputy, i have an understanding that he is old and one of my senior Warriors, but i trust he has the skills and open mind to lead the clan with words rather than his claws..."

He meowed and gave a sympathetic look, RiverFall saw

"Wise words my friend, though... we- i have news... rouges have offered strength to my clan... and i have no trust they will lend with the strength we need for it to succeed... i am... leaving the clans... i can no longer live as a leader... more less an elderly leader... SnowClan deserves better... than to be lead by a dying leader that has no strength to offer... more than words... i sheath my claws in battle and i can no longer carry onward to... where my clan... needs me most..."

YarrowStar announced and slumped himself down. There were yowls of protest from the cats in the clans. RiverFall felt an un settling feeling in his belly, he can't be serious?! This is absurd! He thought and tried to silence the clans when a russet furred she cat stood up.

"How long have you known?! Why have you been hiding this from Announcing this from the clan?! You once said you would swear to lead for whatever it may cost! Even at your own Life was that all talk you old flea bag! Listen to me!"

Her voice was scratchy, RiverFall assumed it was an elder she cat, who must've known the old leader for seasons. YarrowStar gave a wave of his tail for silence for the she cat, he limped down the high rocks and padded into the shadows, SnowClan cats bounded after their leader.
The leader's bounded down the rock and signaled the clans to begin to leave. RiverFall saw a spark of amusement in the SnowClan Deputy's eyes as he began to follow after his clan. What are you up to TroutTail?
