Chapter Ten of a verygarystufanfictiontitled "Tom"
Jayfeather sniffed the herbs and berries carefully. It had been getting hot and dry and he wanted to be sure he had fresh herbs to use. He gingerly picked out scraps of moldy leaves and old, dried up berries.
He prodded the herbs, looking for borage. The blind tom had been using up a lot of borage for the she-cats lately.
"Hey, Jay!" A loud voice said in his ear. It was both happy and grumpy.
But the voice made him grumpy. "What Lionblaze?"
He heard his brother shuffle towards him. "Guess what?"
"What?"
"Chicken butt!"
...
"Handsomepaw has passed his assessments. He's out of my fur." Lionblaze reported happily.
Jayfeather looked up at him with closed eyes. His son? A warrior already. The two moons went by fast.
"All ThunderClan cats old enough to catch their own prey must gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan Meeting." Bramblestar yowled.
Lionblaze smiled and padded out of the den. Jayfeather sighed. Did Bramblestar have to disturb this tedious task? He padded out after his brother into the warm sun.
Bramblestar glared down at Handsomepaw. He seemed to never get any of his own kits. But apparently he was ready to become a warrior, so he performed the ceremony anyway.
"I, Bramblestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn.
"Handsomepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"No."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Handsomepaw, from this moment you will be known as-"
Suddenly Ashfur fell from the sky and began attacking Hansomepaw because he was Squirrelflight's kit!
Only Jayfeather, Squirrelflight, Bramblestar, and Leafpool knew that Handsomepaw's parents were't the leader and deputy, so they let Ashfur attack the apprentice.
With one swipe, Handsomepaw killed Ashfur. He was dead forever.
"As I was saying," Bramblestar growled watching the starry cat fade. "Before I was RUDELY interrupted, Handsomepaw, from this moment you will be known as-"
Chapter End.
What will his name be and what virtues will be named?
Handsomeheart? Handsomefur? Handsomegleam?
Awesomeness? Skill in Twerking? Handsomeness? Strength?
