"I am honored to accept the position as Clan deputy," she said honestly. "I never expected to earn this, especially so soon, but I swear I will do everything in my power to serve my Clan until my last breath. Thank you, Sparrowstar. And thank you, Thornblaze, for serving us for so well for so long." She then began chanting his name, as all did when someone was to be honored. Soon others began to join her. "Thornblaze! Thornblaze!"
