Echoheart's Deputy Ceremony

||

I woke up in my den, tucked away in a bed of soft moss. I looked outside my den and saw the light blue sky and the tops of tress. The HollyClan camp was made up of a circle of caves, the outside of the camp was covered by large spiky holly bushed, undergrowth, and was in the middle of a large oak forest, the camp was secluded from wandering eyes. 

My den was located on the largest boulder, near the top of the rock was a cliff that stuck out and looked over the entire clan camp, my den however, was the cavern, embedded in the boulder that lead to the cliff. I called it High Cliff when I called clan meetings.

I lifted myself out of my nest on strong legs and padded onto the cliff. I looked around at the small but growing clan I was creating. It was time for a ceremony. 

"All cats of HollyClan Gather under High Cliff for a clan meeting!"

I watched the small amount of cats in our clan pour out of the dens and make a mob beneath me. I scanned the crowd and found my eyes land on Echoheart. I nodded but not to any one in particular, more like I was answering an internal question. I took a deep breath and then began.

"I say these words before StarClan, that the spirits of our ancestors may hear and approve my choice."

There was a slight pause

"The new deputy will be... Echoheart."
