Tragedy

Foxstar was already atop the Sunrock, eyes downcast. His tail curled neatly over his paws, and he forced himself to say the sacred calling. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Sunrock for a clan meeting."
The cats milled around, gathering from their leader's words. They'd obviously noticed the lack in cats, and their expressions clouded, completely surrounded in thoughts.
"First of all," the dark ginger tom spoke. "A new cat will be joining us. Syl, do you promise to follow the Warrior Code, whatever what is thrown at you?"
The gray tabby beside him nodded solemnly. "I do."
Foxstar blinked, continuing. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I hereby give you your warrior name. Instead of Syl, you will be known as Silentblaze. May you serve your life as a warrior of SunClan with full loyalty."
As the new warrior leaped down to his clanmates, they began calling his name in the same chant they've done for generations. The leader knew that cats - including Ravenswoop - noticed the 'full loyalty' part of his speech. He was obviously thinking of Lionstrike, and he couldn't hide that fact.

Finally, when the noise died down, the leader began once more. "I know you notice that our clan has...shrunk. The reason for that is..." He bowed his head, choking out the last words. "The cats are gone. Some are missing, but most...their scent has been found in camp, but always with mingled with the smell of bloodshed. These cats have been murdered. Traces of MistClan scent were found, along with another clan scent that is unrecognizable."
Shocked faces ran through the clearing. And then the yowls of pure anger.
"Who would do such a thing?" The voice of Wolfpelt rang out above the rest. "I bet it was the work of that mangy disgrace of a warrior, Lionstrike!"
"SunClan!" Foxstar added his yowl to the rest, silencing them. "We are here to mourn for the lost cats, not plan out a revenge for whoever killed them!" His voice was strict, and obviously annoyed. It was the first time the cats had seen his temper flare since the start of SunClan.
"Now. The cats...the bodies weren't found, but we recognized the scents. The cats were:
Gingerspark
Stormbreak
Hollypath
Rainheart
Darkstream
Shallowfern
Dovestream
Hawkkit
Icekit
Dawnpaw
Scarlettepaw
Moonshine
Cloudfeather
Stormheart
Rosepaw
Blackwing
"These cats are to be honored and remembered throughout SunClan. This wiped out half of our clan, but we will remain strong. May the cats thrive in StarClan for all eternity." And with that, Foxstar concluded the meeting.

(Alright...now this downgrades our clan to a total 18 cats, but that doesn't matter. Medicine cat apprentice is now open, and I will be having a contest for the spot. What do you guys think?)

  1. Dreamfeather let out a quiet sigh. Then went into the nursery to check on Emberflair.

    Falconfeather padded over to Ravenwing, "You want me to go out hunting?"
