Firesky LightingClan Deputy Fifty-Two Moons ### WORDS @lavender NOTES BLABLA

No matter how much she herself she didn't want anymore kits, the more she found herself walking toward the nursery before turning around and going on a hunting patrol. It wasn't that she didn't like kits, she adored them. Their energy and thirst for knowledge had always made Firesky smile. Fond memories of Mapleheart and Wildclaw made a smile cross over her lips. Now her kits were grown and doing their own thing Firesky had sometimes been affected with a strong desire to have another litter, but it was important she didn't to ensure her role as deputy wasn't compromised, instead she filled the small void in her by visiting the nursery. Normally her deputy duties kept her busy, her strong work ethic and commendable sense of self control had her first finishing her important duties before taking a bit of her day to sit with the young ones of LightingClan, today with all things major done she followed her heart and peaked inside the nursery in greeting to the resting queens. With a quick word in greeting she was told that Flickerkit was out in the camp, given permission by her mother to play. Turning and looking for the she-kit Firesky lowered herself down to the ground when she spotted a certain fluffy kit and with slow and silent steps, moved over to the kit before nudging her gently with her paw to bring attention to her. "Hello Flickerkit, I don't think we have met. I am Fireesky deputy of LightingClan. Care to play?" Firesky naturally was the maternal figure when ever the moment arose and had no issues getting down tot a kit's level and playing with them. It was important that each kit felt like apart of the Clan from an early age, Firesky just felt like it was part of her duty and waited for the kit's attention to dawn on her.

Normally Flickerkit was seen with her older sister, Briarkit, by her side. The two would often get into all sorts of trouble within the camp - Well, it was Flickerkit who more or less got into trouble and she'd always drag her poor, innocent littermate into the mess with her. However, on this particular greenleaf day, Briarkit was off resting in a bundle of brown tabby fur next to their mother in the nursery. Flickerkit was opposed to the idea of sunhigh naps, or any naps for that matter.

Therefore, Flickerkit had raced out of the nursery to play, after gaining a groggily replied permission from her half-asleep mother. Even though the hill upon which LightningClan made its camp didn't have very much for the young kit to entertain herself with, she had fashioned a tiny, springy ball made out of moss. From time to time she enjoyed nothing more than idly batting the mossball between her tiny paws, but most of the time she liked to practice hunting with it. Sometimes the mossball was a pretend mouse or a pretend rabbit, and the ball had seen countless teeth and claw marks from the feisty little female who had gotten way too into it.

Flickerkit had just pounced on her beloved ball of moss when a light nudge from behind her alerted her to the presence of another cat. The fluffy ginger she-kit shook her out her pelt before she averted her attention onto the deputy. With bright amber eyes, Flickerkit studied the much larger she-cat in front of her, barely listening to what she had to say, although she did happen to pick up the word 'deputy' which immediately piqued the young kit's interest.

"You're the deputy?" Flickerkit stared up at Firesky, a mixture of surprise and excitement lighting up in her yellowish orbs, "That's so cool! What's it like being deputy? How'd you even get to be deputy? Do you think I could be deputy? I want to be leader one day, but Momma said I have to become deputy to do that." Within a split second, the orange tabby launched into her ramblings. She completely forgot about her mossball, which lay abandoned just a few pawsteps away.

Seeing this little bundle of youth and fluff had Firesky relaxed and in a content state of mind. Flickerkit even in her innocence was already clever and sharp, a trait that would make her a fine warrior in the moons to come. The kit amazement that was heard in her voice brought a warm smile to Firesky's face as she maneuvered herself to stand across from Flickerkit. Those questions were rapid fire and aloud for a soft laugh to come from the deputy. "You can be a deputy if you work really hard." She answered, but with the wonder and sense of desire to know more, Firesky went on to add more detail, it never hurt to give young kits dreams and aspirations. "When you become an apprentice make sure you listen to your mentor and ask questions to make sure you understand something. Learn not to boss cats around but to instead guide them. Be a friendly to your Clanmates but civil to enemy Clans. A warrior's first duty is to their Clan." Firesky paused for a moment, unsure if she should keep going despite feeling she was getting too deep for Flickerkit. "If you work hard and train your own apprentice, you can be in the line up for next deputy. I know if I ever become leader that it will be important that my deputy listen to their heart. I don't want a deputy that does as I say but brings their own wisdom to help me. " She finished with a smile, looking toward Redstar's den. Never in a million moons would she wish the death of her leader, but her aspirations to be leader were high and all for the goal of serving LightingClan for many moons. "Any cat that shows good strong qualities can be leader. Who you are is important, but just what you've done" She added, with a nod of her head. " I think Flickerstar has a nice ring to it." Firesky purred, using her forepaw to nudge gently at the kit's shoulder, playful in nature.
