"WE ARE THE BROKEN ONES, WHO CHOSE TO SPARK A FLAME"
There were butterflies in her stomach as she padded away from Fourtrees. It had been an impulsive, spur of the moment decision to leap atop that rock. Now that her excitement had faded, the reality had begun to set in. Every responsibility she recalled Rain struggling with would be hers now. The other leaders, the Windclan leader in particular, had all seemed to have plans for their clans. Ideas on how they were going to succeed where the pine and marsh groups had failed. She had nothing of the sort. Cats had followed her out of that clearing, though she had been too nervous to turn and check how many, and she had no idea what she was going to do.
And yet, she couldn't stop smiling.
Thunderclan. It was a good name, she liked it. She was proud to have thought of it. The first order of business for her new clan was to find a home, and luckily for that she actually had an idea. During her time in the newly named Skyclan, she had ventured into the oak forest. There, she had happened upon a little clearing hidden away from the world. That was why she had blurted out the territory when she found herself atop the rock. Well, that and staying close to her old clan.
That was where her steps led her now, and, after a moment of searching, she found it again. With a paw she pulled back brambles to find the gorse tunnel she remembered. For the first time since she had left the gathering, she turned back to face the cats following her.
"Welcome home Thunderclan!" she announced brightly, her eyes scanning the crowd for their reactions.
