Rustedpaw bounded straight upwards into the air. "I was right!" He yowled, before landing on the ground and chanting her name. He was right. Then, he looked up at Mythstar and waited to see the next thing he would do. But he still couldn't sit still. He bounded around in circles, before sitting again. He began to twitch. Rustedpaw never knew the meaning of sitting still. Oh well...

ooc:// I know... I just rambled on >< Sorry.

M.Y.T.H.S.T.A.R.

At first, Wildstorm looked stunned and Mythstar would have been too if he was put on the spot like that. Especially, since he had just had a fight with the Leader the other day. But that fight was a test. A test to see if Wildstorm had the courage and the voice to speak out as Deputy of ShadowClan. She had shown that and Wildstorm was extremely happy with what she had said. She had tried to protect her nephew, Shadowpaw and protection was key. She had stood up to her own Leader, almost asking for a fight. Mythstar would frown and growl but inside he was praising her, smiling at her and telling her how perfect of a Deputy she would be. When she said she accepted the position, Mythstar smiled slightly at her, his sea green eyes glittering in the setting sun on the horizon.

The eerie silence of the Clancats processing their thoughts was broken by the sound of their cheers and their yowls with approval of his choice. Mythstar smiled slightly, cheering along for a few seconds. His voice soon died away and was taken away by a rush of warn humid wind. Rain would be coming soon. Mythstar peered over at the dark clouds over the darker sky and sighed quietly. Rain was just an interruption to him. It was in the way of hunting and training. It could still be done, but of course, it wasn't as easy. The thought of training brought up the subject of two apprentices, needing their mentors. Rustedpaw and Shadowpaw. Both were middle aged apprentices and needed to be trained. He scanned the Clan, thinking of their mentors. When two cats that he knew would be wonderful mentors came to his mind, he began to speak again.

"Shadowpaw, please step forward," he meowed, his voice slightly gruff but then again, quite normal. "Wildstorm, you are ready for you next apprentice. You will mentor Shadowpaw. Please pass down your courage and your strong voice to this young apprentice as well as teaching him all you know." He nodded to the two cats, his head bowing down slightly. They would make a good pair that that was certain. He turned to look at Rustedpaw, who looked quite excited. He twitched and Mythstar blinked. "Rustedpaw, please step forward." His voice was slightly more stern for her knew this apprentice would have to learn to calm down. He scanned the crowd, his eyes landing on tabby she-cat. "Chaosflight, you will mentor Rustedpaw. Teach him all you know about fighting and hunting but also teach him about loyalty and sitting still." He smiled as he said the last words and nodded his head to the pair.

A cool wind blew through camp, rattling the leaves on the trees. It was chilly and rain would fall any moment. Mythstar sighed, flicking his tail in dismissal and bounded off the Tallstump. It began to drizzle, light rain falling on his pale pelt. He shivered but in know time, he was nestled in his nice warm den His fern and moss bed was comforting and welcoming. His small den was cozy and perfect for a cat his size. He was quite tired for some odd reason so it was easy for the young leader to set his head down on moss and drift off into a dreamless calming sleep.

_{Rustedpaw heard his name and Chaosflight's sounded together. He had a mentor! The young tom bounced around, and touched noses with her. I will train my best, He promised. He thought of his first mentor, Ravenclaw, and thorns of grief pierced him. He had died noblely in a border fight against Riverclan. He dipped his head low, and padded away to sit down in his first spot again.}

Shadowpaw's ears perked, embarrassment flushing through the skin beneath his fur and shame darkening the color of his gray mask. His ears pinned down shamefully when he saw just what he'd stumbled upon loudly. At first he had scrambled into camp, late as usual, but had skidded to a clumsy halt when he'd seen that all the cats were gathered for something. His heart had slammed against his ribcage when Mythstar had turned and called to him. Briefly he thought that he was about to get scolded for interrupting the ceremony, but the leader went on before he could ask if he was in trouble. And when the golden cat had declared to the Clan his news, his yellow eyes widened in shock. A mentor! I finally have the mentor! And it's probably the best one I could ever have! Elelation swept through him from the tips of bottom of his pads to the tips of his ears and tail.

Eyes shining, he shakily stumbled forward and breathed softly. Mythstar looked proud, a strong regal warrior standing before his Clan. The gangly dark ashen tom turned, ears swiveling to meet the eyes of his new mentor, and also that of the newly declared deputy. Shadowpaw's tail waved excitedly, but slowly as he watched Wildstorm. At last! A mentor!

Not far from the crowd, near the edge, a certain femme watched everything with warmth in her dark eyes. Mossstorm purred loudly, her deep hum resonating throughout the clearing. She watched her young foster-brother with gentleness and then eyed her sister. Wildstorm would be a good mentor and a good deputy. Mythstar had chosen wisely. The stern Somali was sure to lead the Clan well by his side. She turned back to the pale leader and for once, felt a sense of peace as she gazed at the new Shadowclan ruler. It finally seemed as if Shadowclan's luck was changing and things were turning around for the better.

At last.
