〔✦〕"As you all have probably heard by now, I have added an addition to the Warrior Code. The deputy will become Clan leader when the leader dies, retires, or is exiled. It was agreed upon by the leaders at the gathering, and will now be a part of our laws. Never again will another clan have to go through what we had under Skyclaw's short rule. During our absence the previous moon, Orangestar added another law. A cat cannot be made deputy without having mentored at least one apprentice. Even though we were not there to agree to the addition, Thunderclan will accept this new rule and will add it to our teachings of the Warrior Code." She had wondered how Cherryblossom's inexperience as a warrior would serve as a deputy, and she could only assume by the recent addition to the laws they lived by that it hadn't gone well. A deputy was someone a leader could trust to take over the clan if anything happened to them, so she agreed with this new rule wholeheartedly. "Riverclan and Shadowclan have warned of foxes in their territories, so I want all patrols to be on alert for the time being." They were just now almost healed from the battle against Skyclaw, the last thing the clan needed was a fox attack. "I have also agreed to allow Moonbeam to continue her training under Gentlestorm. She will continue her schedule here as it had been under Howlingstar, and I expect her to be treated as a guest." It was not uncommon knowledge that she distrusted their neighboring clan, so the news may come as a surprise to some.
This meeting would not be as eventful as their former had been. The past few moon cycles had been kind to them, and there were no apprentices that needed reassigning. There was however an apprentice who had passed his assessment. Her eyes glittered with pride as she focused on Tallpaw. She had been thinking about his new name since Boartooth came into her den with the news. "Tallpaw, please step forward." She paused as she made her way down the Highrock, giving him time to make his way to the front. " I, Flamestar, leader of Thunderclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in their turn. Tallpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Once he accepted, she would continue. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Tallpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Tallstep. StarClan honors your independence and adaptability, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Thunderclan." She then leaned forward and rested her chin on top of his head while the clan began to chant his name. Once he licked her shoulder, she took a step back and met his gaze. She dipped her head with a smile, her eyes beaming warmly as he turned to acknowledge his friends. This was her favorite part about leading...seeing the excitement and pride in her clanmate's gazes. It was heartwarming.

a longhaired red tabby with low white and green eyes. flamewhisker's fur is a vibrant hue of red, riddled with thick classic tabby markings. her fur is medium in length, and she has a large, feathery tail. her chest, belly, tail tip, and her paws are dipped white. flamewhisker's eyes are a dark, deep shade of green. her shoulder has a large scar on it from a fight with a dog. she also has a shredded ear from a disagreement with a loner during her time alone before joining thunderclan. on particularly cold days, or sometimes before a major weather change, she will walk with a slight limp from her shoulder injury.
