Morningsplash
Today was a good day for the clan. Apprentices were being made warriors. Yet, however hard Morningsplash tried, she couldn't be happy. Tonight was the quarter moon, and she would be meeting Owlclaw later. She couldn't wait until it was moonhigh. Yet she also felt a twinge of guilt. Before she started meeting Owlclaw, she would have been ecstatic at the thought of new warriors. Now, all she thought about was the pale grey tabby. He occupied her thoughts at all times.
"Today I perform one of my favorite duties," Greystar began, "Making these five young cats warriors. Mentors, are you satisfied that they have learned all they needed to be taught, to the full extent?" With their approval, he continued. "I, Greystar, leader of Riverclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Tawnypaw, Beechpaw, Honeypaw, Foxpaw, Fuzzypaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Tawnypaw, from this moment you will be known as Tawnyblossom. StarClan honors your patience and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan. Beechpaw, from this moment you will be known as Beechfoot. StarClan honors your energy and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan. Honeypaw, from this moment you will be known as Honeyleaf. StarClan honors your spirit and warmth, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan. Foxpaw, from this moment you will be known as Foxclaw. StarClan honors your initive and cleverness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan. Fuzzypaw, from this moment you will be known as Fuzzytail. StarClan honors your determination and honesty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan." Morningsplash cheered along with the others, thinking of that night. How can breaking the warrior code be so wrong, yet feel so...right? she thought to herself, with a small sigh. She wished she could confide in some cat. Maybe...she could talk to the medicine cat? He would understand, maybe.
Glancing over at Nightfall, she thought about it. It couldn't hurt. She would ask Nightfall his opinion.
After that night. Let this night be free of worries. Nightfall was the medicine cat. He walked with Starclan. He would know if her destiny was to be with Owlclaw. If not, this would be their last night together. Morningsplash didn't want to ruin it before it even happened.
She would talk to Nightfall tomorrow.
