Hello, I'm Shiftshine. My clanmates call me Shifter or Rari which is a combination of my first and last names. I belong to a warrior clan called The Sierra Travelers Clan. I am a warrior, and I protect HQ from anything that threatens the life of this clan.

Now, so many warriors had left the clan for various reasons, but they had a common thing, and that's the portal. It's actually sentiment, that portal. Anyway, the portal takes warriors to their chosen dimensions aka 'worlds'. They can be in comics, books, movies, you name it. For me, it was quite difficult to decide on the right dimension, for my home is various among several worlds of the multiverse of favorite beloved hero, Superman. Yes, you heard me, the man of justice and peace, the man who can do practically anything, Superman aka Clark Kent himself.

I decided to leave along the comics, since they were neither versioned very differently, or old-fashioned. For live-action shows, I personally hated the Adventures of Superman, since you can practically predict anything and it was too boring and far old-fashioned. Anything from 1957 to 1992 was neither bad or okay. I had a crush on Dean Cain; the character of Superman/Clark Kent in 'Lois & Clark: the new adventures'. But I left that alone since Lois obviously was very good in that one. 'Smallville' was all right yet horrible in some things.

Now, for animated shows, I disliked anything from 1941 to 1988 since the animation was so crappy or repeatedly. I really personally liked 'Superman: the Animated Series' and 'Justice League/Unlimited'. From 2004 to 2008 was neither good or hard to tolerate. And for 'Young Justice', let's say I have a like/dislike opinion of Superman. He was obviously skilled yet he rejected his own son, Superboy aka Conner Kent. I personally cared for Conner in a motherlike way from my opinion, anyway.

For animated movies, they were really good yet, for the live-action ones, they are neither sucky or bad.

I finally chose 'Superman: the Animated Series' and 'Justice League/Unlimited' since they were in one world, connected through time. I plan to live in Metropolis and chase my dream which is a nightclub version of my favorite club from one beloved show, 'House of Mouse'.

Of course, my wish is to be a superheroine during daytime if possible, and be a club owner/entertainer during nighttime. Anyway, it was four months since Speckletail went to her chosen world. Of course, there's time configuration and all, but I don't want to dive into explaining that. I was checking out a disturbance by the eastern border that another warrior reported and it turned out to be just a squabble between two men who wants the same woman for a girlfriend. Drama. Why do that when there's other fish in the sea?

Anyhow, I was walking back to HQ where I lived. I was wearing a long-sleeved blue blouse with black jeans, and gray/white Women's allcast waterproof duck boots. I had my light red hair up in a braid, and my light blue eyes complimented my copper tan skin. I have my totem radio necklace which is the sigma for my warrior name. It's a crest in the shape of a cat in black while the background is silver. It's made of real steel.

I headed down by elevator, and saw my clanmates neither checking the portal or casually play-fighting. Sunrise came up to me, smiling, "Did you check it out, Shiftshine?".

"Yes, ma'am. It was just a dramatic squabble of a love triangle between two boys and one girl. Just ridiculous. Anyhow, luckily, they didn't threaten the wildlife or such near the eastern border. Just noise, that's all.". I replied smartly.

Sunrise nodded, "Good. I suggest you get your partner and apprentice. It's near time to give Earthpaw her warrior name.". I grinned at that, realizing that she gave permission that today's the warrior ceremony! I bowed my head in respect, "Of course, Sunrise. On my way over.".

I quickly soon found my partner Frostclaw and our apprentice that we shared duties and chores with, Earthpaw. "There you are. Sunrise asked for you, Earthpaw. Today's the day you get your warrior name.".

Earthpaw looked shocked at that and whooped, "Finally! At last I get to be a warrior!". I quietly chuckled at that, amused at her excitement.

Frostclaw sternly replied, "You must behave if you want your ceremony done well.". Earthpaw settled down almost immediately, sheepishly smiling at us. We all walked back to the front, where the portal room and the computer room are. We arrived at the portal, our remaining clanmates waiting by, watching with smiles and grins.

Sunrise stood before us, and Earthpaw walked forward confidently at Sunrise's nod. "Clan, today we have a apprentice before us, ready to receive her warrior name. Shiftshine and Frostclaw, you have shared training this apprentice. Has she done well?".

I stepped forward first, "Earthpaw has progressed well. She certainly had protected this clan as we do, with determination and courage. She was quick to learn, my leader, and yes, she is ready to be a warrior.". I stepped back, giving Frostclaw her turn to speak.

Frostclaw steadily responded, "We have watched Earthpaw in her duties, and I'm proud to say that she very much did well. I also know that she is ready to be a warrior as well, my leader.". Frostclaw stepped back, signifying that she has finished. Sunrise smiled and nodded.

"Earthpaw, do you promise to uphold the clan duties, and protect our home as the code says, no matter what?". Sunrise asked clearly and loudly.

Earthpaw exhaled sharply, "I do, Sunrise.".

Sunrise nodded again, and declared, "From this day on, before this clan, by her personality and loyalty, I call this new warrior to be 'Earthmist.'". Sunrise then gave her new totem necklace, which from my view, I could see sparkly lace in shape of butterfly wings with the thread revealing to be weaved leaves. Earthmist received it and put it on, turned around to see us.

We echoed the new name, cheering newly named Earthmist. Earthmist looked happy, a bit overwhelmed, and a bit embarrassed as well. I heard Reedpaw calling her Misty for short. I chuckled at that. Looks like my former apprentice has a nickname from her warrior name. I heard Sunrise caterwauling, settling everybody down. As they did, I saw the portal being turned on, the usual rainbow colors swirling.

I saw Sunrise nodding and gesturing for me to get going. I held a finger to say to wait. I just had to hug Frostclaw and Earthmist, and shook hands with the others, and briefly made a funny face at the baby of the clan, earning a giggle. I then went on, with Sunrise bowing her head in respect and care. I one-handed hugged her quickly, and hearing a chuckle from her. I stepped back, nodding on, turning to step into the portal where it awaits me inside and I walked in.
