Forum:How can it be that Hawkfrost was deputy?

I was rereading Sunset a while ago, and something dawned on me. It was when Brambleclaw announced that he was deputy to Hawkfrost and Tigerstar, but he had no apprentice. Well, of course, everyone had to make a big deal of this, that Brambleclaw was deputy but yet did not have an apprentice. BUT, Hawkfrost was also deputy for a brief moment when Mistyfoot was gone. How could this be since he clearly had no apprentice? It couldn't have been before Midnight either, as Leopardstar announced at a Gathering in Midnight that Hawkpaw and Mothpaw were now warriors. Any suggestions on how this could be? Sky feather 1995 19:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
