"You know." Frostfeather padded into the leader's den, white pelt bright in the snowwy darkness. Her blue eyes glowed with thought. "I never expected this to happen so soon...you're a leader now...not a silly kit who pushed me into snowpiles after I put pebbles in the side of your nest." She chuckled. She then quieted.
"You know we're all here for you. Nobody doubts you and your leadership."
Hawkstar perked. "You think he'll call my Granddaughter as deputy?"

Wildfire sat down, facing his sister. "Yes, I know. Nobody but me." He sighed, sadness in his green eyes. He flattened his ears against his head, and looked up at her. "I'm still torn between sitting his vigil or going to get my lives first... I know I should receive my lives, but I feel obligated to him to sit with him... Share tongues one last time." The spiky-furred ginger tom droned on.
Snowstar smiled, twining her tail with Blacksthistle's. "I know it. He can rely on her to help him make good decisions, and it's obvious they care for each other. I think she's the perfect deputy for him." She purred knowingly.

"Look at me." Frostfeather demanded. She then relaxed and snickered. "I think Hawkstar would rather the clan he brought back from collapse have a fully lived leader as soon as possible. It's cold out, brother. He will still be here by the time you return...Surely you have thought of a deputy?" She asked him.
Hawkstar gave a heavy purr, and fluffed up in delight seeing Rustlefoot pad up to him. His son smiled brightly, as he purred. "She's a great cousain to my son and daughter too. Emberstorm and Owlshadow are both dependable."

Wildfire nodded, taking a deep breath. "You're right. And yes, I do know." He stood up, green eyes bright and certain once more. He signaled with his tail for her to follow as he exited his den. The large ginger tom leapt on top of the rock from which meetings were called, and he padded forwards to the overlook. "Cats of SnowClan! I, Wildfire, new leader of SnowClan, have made my decision on who is to be your new deputy!" His voice rang out clearly in the sandy hollow.
Eaglesight wobbled out of the elders' den, nudging Ivybounce along. Flyleaf and Dapplewing turned away from the mouse they were sharing at the fresh-kill pile. Featherflight padded out of the nursery, her belly swollen with kits. They all looked up to their young leader.
Snowstar's eyes glowed. "She will be a fabulous deputy."

Thistletail looked up from his spot near Blackfire and Featherflight, while Pinefoot and Emberstorm looked up as well.
Owlshadow turned to listen, Swansong and Risingfire joining her to watch.
Raggedpaw and Crowpaw stopped wrestling to look up at their cousain.

Wildfire looked over the Clan, admiring his Clan. "I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of SnowClan is Owlshadow!" He yowled, stretching to his full height.
Eaglesight, Flyleaf, Dapplewing and Featherflight cheered, turning to their new, young deputy.

Owlshadow showed her surprise with a faint lifting of her eyes, amber eyes staring at Wildfire.
Emberstorm and Pinefoot immeadeately stood and cheered, looking proudly at the she-cat.
Blackfire looked surprised but purred and cheered, while Swansong gruffly joined in, Risingfire adding in as well.
"That's a surprise! But I can see why he chose her." Ivybounce nudged Eaglesight.

Weaving among the cheering and yowling cats Wrenlight made her way to Wildfire, doing her best to avoid getting stepped on. Once she was close enough she coughed, "Ahem." a few moments passed, "Wildfire, its time we head off." she meowed a bit louder this time.

Owlshadow finally spoke. "Yes, Wrenlight is right. You must get your lives...I promise to be the best deputy I can be for you and Snowclan." She dipped her head.

Dreampool looked over at her sister. "No surprise there." She commented, without much tone to her voice.
Eaglesight chuckled. "Of course! They already work well together."
Wildfire looked down at his medicine cat. "Oh, yeah, it is!" He acknowledged, jumping down form his perch. He landed softly besides the small Wrenlight, and shook his spiky fur out, sending snowflakes scattering. He grinned at Owlshadow, a knowing light in his green eyes. "I know you will." He purred, before looking back to the medicine cat. "Shall we go, then?" He questioned, lifting a paw towards the camp exit.

"Too bad neither of us could ever be leader." Swansong whispered back gruffly, before shaking her fur and shrugging. "Let's see how far these kits can take us."
Ivybounce smiled. "They remind me of you and Hawkstar. One was wild and energetic. The other reserved and calm."

"We could have, if we took one of the toms of the line. But that would have had to happen seasons ago." Dreampool pointed out with a chuckle, resting her floofy tail atop her sister's shoulders. "How far and how long." She amended quietly, watching Wrenlight speaking with Wildfire.
Eaglesight shook his head. "And look at how long we lasted. I pray to StarClan they make it just as long." He sighed, looking up at the stars, sadness in his golden eyes.

Wrenlight dipped her head and trotted off toward the exit, "We might need to hurry if we want to get there with enough time!"

"One mousetail says Wildfire will slip on ice and Owlshadow will have to carry him home." Swansong joked quietly to her sister.

Wildfire nodded, trotting after her. "Then we haven't a drop of moonlight to waste!" He exclaimed, green eyes wide.
Dreampool snorted, wrinkling her pink nose.

Exiting to the north Wrenlight quickened her gait not wanting to waste anytime. "I've never really done this before I'll have you know. Just as a forewarning."

Wildfire laughed a little as he tried to match her pace, but kept passing her. "Well obviously I haven't either. We'll be fine though. Snowstar is on our side tonight, I'd take it." He grinned, looking up to the star filled sky, that still shed soft snowflakes onto the ground.
"You made a good choice, Hawkstar. A real good choice." Snowstar smiled at her grandson, royal blue eyes dancing with stars and joy.

Hawkstar looked at his grandmother, mewing honestly. "I wanted a change from what I had before. Watersplash and I were serious and by the lines...I wanted a leadership to bring that fire and brightness back into the clan that I couldn't give. I was what they needed back then...but now, Snowclan needs peace and happiness." He nodded.

The large snow-white she-cat smiled, pink nose wrinkling slightly. "You have grown so much wiser than when I left you." She said earnestly, her smile even reaching her eyes. "Out of all my blood, I have seen some of the best improvement in you, dear Hawkstar."

Wrenlight found herself almost running at this point and didn't bother trying to really lead the way. "Well, don't screw it up by making your insides suddenly outsides or anything." She panted, "Not that you would." she added to the end.

"I was immature for a long time. Was envious of many cats for their size and strength...but my time in Twolegplace showed me just how well I could use my skills to help others. I think of how I remember how Nightflame's family had been there...how cold and able to leave a kit behind on his own...and I surely had been ungrateful to leave my own family when they always loved me." Hawkstar admitted shamefully, gazing at his small paws.
Nightflame swallowed, thinking of his long dead kin, before he recalled helping to find Hawkstar, and it felt nice to know where his true home was.
Hawkstar looked back at Snowstar. "I did change. And I'm glad I did. I'm thankful in the end that you all chose me to lead..."

Wildfire chuckled as he trotted along. "I doubt I could even if I wanted to." He commented.
Snowstar smiled before standing. "I know. And I'm glad, too." She said, before turning and padding away into the distance. "Now we must reassemble. Our newest star will be here soon..."

Hawkstar blinked, before he noticed that Hollowstar was signaling for him to follow in his wake. The two leaders padded after Snowstar, and Hawkstar suddenly knew exactly what life to give his deputy. He surely stood small against these cats, but his head held high like a true leader.

Snowstar led her children to the Starpool, where they would join their other Clanmates in crowning Wildfire. Dancingstar and Merrystar sat back, Sandstar at his faintest in the very background with his Snowblossom. She looked around at all the cats with a great love in her eyes as she took her own seat near the front. "Come." She ordered, motioning with her tail.

Hawkstar stared for a moment, remembering his own 9 life ceremony, though he perked into shape once Hollowstar calmly padded up to the older leaders. If a non-blood related leader could stroll so comfortably, Hawkstar knew he had to keep up.

(*~*Timeskip*~*)
Wildfire reached the worn path that led to the Starpool, panting slightly. He looked back at Wrenlight, blinking snow out of his bright green eyes. "I-is it time?" He asked, somewhat timidly. Now that he had gotten here, his nerves had returned.

After her legs were absolutely exhausted the two cats finally made it to the Starpool. Just in time too, Wrenlight was ready to collapse. "You ready?" she looked expectantly toward her soon to be official leader.

Wildfire nodded. "I have to do this... for everyone." He stated, dipping his head. The large ginger tom padded forwards, approaching the Starpool with excitement but also nerves. Here goes nothing... He laid down, and looked to Wrenlight for permission to continue.

"Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and reach out to them. They will find you. And you them." The medicine cat settled down beside him reassuring him of her presence.
