Readers, I might not be able to use the correct words for the Warrior Ceremony so please don't mind.
Rain poured heavily down as Goldenpaw trudged out of the apprentice den. Her leader, Shimmerstar had just summoned the clan. Goldenpaw new it was her warrior ceremony but she didn't bother grooming herself. She padded forward and sat beside Branchleap.
"Cats of Birchclan, this sunrise a new warrior will be made." Shimmerstar's voice rang through the hollow.
"Goldenpaw, step forward." Goldenpaw bounded towards Shimmerstar. She was surprised her clanmates couldn't hear the beating of her heart. Suddenly, she heard a cat smirking. She cocked her ears a little to hear Daisypaw whisper to Streampaw: Goldenpaw looks so muddy, I can bet she'll be named Mudpelt! Daisypaw caught her eye and she gave Daisypaw a 'Get a Life' glare and turned back to Shimmerstar.
"Goldenwing, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend the clan for the cost of your life?" Shimmerstar's warm sapphire eyes met Goldenwing's amber one's.
"Yes, I do" She meowed shakily.
"Then by the name of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. From now on, you shall be known as Goldenwing, your clanmates and I welcome you as a full warrior of Birchclan. Cheers rose through the camp hollow.
"Goldenwing, Goldenwing!" Everyone looked bright except for Daisypaw and Streampaw. Goldenwing hoped her mother and father were watching over her in Starclan right now. She turned her head to see Larkfoot, her mentor, watch her proudly. Whitemark, the Leopardclan deputy, padded towards her.
"You should better get a piece of prey then start you vigil. It's already sundown." He ordered. Goldenwing dipped her head in obedience and bounded towards the freshkill pile.
"Mind sharing?" Branchleap's voice surprised Goldenwing. She nodded, took out a fat juicy fish, and settled under the gorse bush with Branchleap.
'This is my best sunrise so far.' She thought.
