Willowbranch
- Coutning the stars and scars -
With the final moon of Newleaf upon the Valley, RiverClan was once again host to its seasonal elections. Willowbranch had taken her place as temporary head-of-state as the change in leadership began. All those who were interested in running for Representative were to seek her out to throw their names in the ring.
What had stunned the molly was the lack of competition within the Clan. Bumblepelt had been the only one to step up to the challenge once more. Willowbranch had expected at least resistance from Reedtail, Hailfall, or Echoclaw, all cats who had voiced their distaste to his leadership.
Perhaps they had finally come to peace with Bumblepelt's decisions. Or perhaps they had other plans. Whatever the case, it appeared that the Clan was unanimous with their vote to allow Bumblepelt to remain Representative.
"L-Let all cats old enough to swim the current gather for a Clan meeting!" She called.
As her Clanmates joined her, the Medicine Cat cleared her throat. "W-With Greenleaf on the horizon, RiverClan embraces the change of the seasons, traditionally with a change in leadership." She meowed. "However, i-it appears that change will not be coming to RiverClan this season." Willowbranch looked at Bumblepelt with a gentle smile.
"A-As no cat has come to campaign against him, I say these words before the spirits of our ancestors, s-so they may hear and approve of our choice. Bumblepelt, y-you shall remain Representative for the coming season. M-May StarClan bless you once more with the strength to face the highest of tides, a-and guide our Clan to safe waters." She announced.
Willowbranch dipped her head. "As Bumblepelt and I travel to receive StarClan's blessing, I invite the Clan t-to prepare for our return, so we may celebrate the inauguration of our R-Representative."
