Apprentices and Mentors

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting," Firestar yowled from his perch on Highrock.

Instantly cats started pouring out of the dens. Clawkit scrambled out of the medicine den eagerly, "Bloodkit, Shiverkit! Hurry Firestar has called a meeting!"

Bloodkit burst out of the medicine den, almost bowling Clawkit over. "Watch out!" Bloodkit shouted before racing over to the rest of the Clan.

Shiverkit emerged from the den a moment later, "Where's Brightheart?" she asked, referring to the kits' adopted mother.

"Uh, over there I think," Clawkit said, flicking her tail to the far side of the clearing.

Shiverkit bounded in the direction Clawkit had pointed her in.

Clawkit joined the rest of ThunderClan seconds later.

"Bramblepaw, do you promise to protect and defend this Clan even at the cost of your life?" Firestar asked.

"I do, Firestar," Bramblepaw meowed, full of confidence.

Firestar nodded his approval, "Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name, Bramblepaw, from this moment forward you will be known as Brambleclaw. StarClan honors your courage and loyalty and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan," Firestar declared.

"Brambleclaw! Brambleclaw!" ThunderClan cheered.

Firestar's face registered shock just as the rest of the Clan's faces.

Clawkit's eyes widened, everyone knew how much Firestar hadn't trusted Brambleclaw because of his resemblance of his father.

Firestar seemed to snap out of it the quickest, "Now I would also like to preform one of my favorite duties, Bloodkit, Clawkit, and Shiverkit have reached their sixth moon today," he announced.

"Shiverkit, Bloodkit, and Clawkit step forward," Firestar called. "This is a proud day for ThunderClan, we have a new warrior and three new apprentices. Bloodkit, Clawkit, and Shiverkit from now until you receive your warrior names you will be known as Bloodpaw, Clawpaw, and Shiverpaw.

"Cloudtail, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Bloodpaw's mentor. I know you will pass on your wit on to him, and teach him the skills that will make him a brave warrior of ThunderClan," Firestar mewed.

Cloudtail's eyes widened in surprise and he approached his apprentice and touched noses with him before moving off into the crowd.

"Ashfur, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be Clawpaw's mentor. I know you will pass on your strength on to her, and teach her the skills that will make her a brave warrior of ThunderClan," Firestar's steady voice rang through the hollow.

Clawpaw felt excitement course through her and she bounded over and touched noses to Ashfur happily.

Firestar's gaze then flicked down to his deputy, "And Graystripe, you trained Brackenfur well and I know you will train Shiverpaw just as well. I trust you to pass on your courage to her, and teach her the skills that will make her a brave warrior of ThunderClan."

Shiverpaw padded nervously over to her mentor, her blue eyes flashing. Being so small and still mostly kit-sized Shiverpaw had to put her front paws on a rock to steady herself as she touched noses with Graystripe.

"Lucky mouse," Clawpaw heard Bloodpaw mutter under his breath.

Clawpaw smiled for her sister, she needed Graystripe as a mentor. Poor thing was so timid she really could use an encouraging but strong mentor like Graystripe.

"Clawpaw, battle training right away," she heard Ashfur say from behind her.
