Pheonixfire was sitting outside the warriors den, his tail around his paws. His brilliant gold eyes looked around camp, in search of the deputy, Thistleclaw, since Moonstar is nowhere to be found. He still had three of his nine lives left, but he knew he would soon lose them. Also, he was growing to an older senior warrior. Pheonixfire waited patiently as he looked around with his eyes for the deputy.[/color]

Thistleclaw padded into the clearing, a couple scorpions dangling from his maw. He trottoed over to the fresh-kill pile and lay them done on top, before he turned and strode over to the leader's den, where he sat in front of it in wonder. Where are you Moonstar? He thought to himself, as if DreamClan would answer him.

Pheonixfire saw Thistleclaw, and rose to his paws, padding over to the deputy. "Thistleclaw, I have something I feel I must tell you before I do it." He meowed, once he was by Thistleclaw. "Since Moonstar hasn't been here recently, I'm telling you." Pheonixfire remained on his paws.[/color]

Thistleclaw's amber eyes focused as he turned towards Pheonixfire, tilting his head to one side in concern. "What is it Pheonifire, is something wrong?" He asked, his full attention towards the elderly warrior.

Pheonixfire paused, taking in a breath. "I'm resigning from my warrior duties, and retiring to the elders den." He meowed, before going on. "I'm growing old, and I may have three lives left from being a leader, but my body cannot keep up with me. I'm over my 40th moon now, and think I've served my Clan well, and should leave my duties to those who can handle it." Pheonixfire finished off. He noticed Smoke, the little gray kit, lounging outside the nursery.[/color]

Thistleclaw sighed and nodded his head, smiling. "You have done more for this Clan then I fear I ever will. It is a loss to have you relinquish(sp?) your warrior duties. But I cannot force you against your body." He nudged the former leader in the shoulder with his head. "I will miss you being in the warriors den." He added, before looking around the camp, preparing to call a meeting about Pheonifire's decision.

Stormcloud padded into the clearing, a warm smile on her face. Everything was fine again, despite the fact Bayspirit had left. Though it pained her to think about her former friend, she was...content. She looked cheerfully Thistleclaw, sensing somehow he was about to call a meeting - more like overheard his conversation. She walked up beside him, and greeted him lovingly. "Hey," she mewed to her mate, "I haven't seen you in a while, especially because I've been tending to the kits. I wanted to check on you." She hid the sadness that was normally in her eyes, not wanting to drown the tom's mood.

Pheonixfire smiled back, and dipped his head in respect to the deputy. "Thank you for understanding." He meowed, before lifting his head again. A pang of pain shot through his heart, knowing this was the day he hoped he wouldn't face. Another thing made his heart ache--he most likely wouldn't see Mythicstar, or any of his kits again. "Also, it may not be my place to speak, but I think it's time Smoke was made an apprentice. Especially since she regained her vision." He meowed, casting a glance at the smoky gray kit.[/color]

Thistleclaw smiled and nuzzled Stormcloud lovingly, then turned back towards Phoenixfire. "Of course. I have been thinking of a mentor for him, but I am not sure who it will be." He smiled at the former leader and turned towards the mound of sand where he called all meetings. Leaping atop it, he inhaled the hot musty air before yowling, "All cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the sandmound for a Clan meeting!"

Before jumping down, Stormcloud leaned over. "Its time for Opalkit's apprenticeship!" she whispered eagerly, then took her place beneath the mound.

Thistleclaw nodded in response as he waited for the Clan to gather.

Hopetear emerged from the warriors den and over to the rest of the clan.She looked around and saw Starrypaw coming towards her.Hopetear looked around,it must be an apprentice ceremony.
Starrypaw hurried out of the Apprentices' den and over to Hopetear.She looked around,the tip of her tail twitching excitedly.There would be new apprentices,and she would want to meet them.
Revelationrise came into Duneclan camp,he had been hunting and was just in time for the ceremony.He quickly went over to the fresh kill pile and dropped his catch.He scanned the crow to looked for his sisters.When he spotted the white she-cat and the golden tabby he took a seat next to them.He smiled at Hopetear and Starrypaw,and looked up at Thistleclaw.

OOC: Um Smoke is a girl xP
Pheonixfire padded only a few steps to be beside Stormcloud, and sat beside her. "You must be excited." He meowed, smiling friendly at the she-cat. He had accepted her in, and never once regretted his decision.
Lithiumghost brushed out of the warrior's den, and found her way to a place beneath the mound. She wondered what the meeting was for. Her blind gaze looked up to what she believed was Thistleclaw.
Smoke scrambled to her paws, her bright blue eyes alight with excitement as she ran over beside Opalkit. "What do you think the meeting's for? And why do you think Pheonixfire was talking to Thistleclaw, and they seemed sorta sad?" Smoke was being her curious self, and had not paid real good attention to when the old DuneClan leader was talking to the current deputy.[/color]

Opalkit beamed. "I heard them! I heard them!" she mewed, pricking her ears as if to show Smoke how she had, "I heard them talking. Pheonixfire is retiring to be an elder, and you will be an apprentice!" She looked a bit sad, believing she was still going to be a kit - she hadn't caught her mother's whisper.
Stormcloud smiled. "Yeah."

OCC: sorry lol
Ravenfrost padded over to sit beside Lithiumghost, his black pelt glowing in the rays of sunlight, the silver stripe upon his back shimmering. He looked over at Pheonixfire and Stormcloud, guessing why Pheonixfire looked a little down-hearted.
Thistleclaw nodded and continued.
