Sunny ran quickly after Pearlstar. She was faster than the leader, and she felt no energy used. "You are fast, but you shouldn't use too much energy." Pearlstar admitted, Soon, the two came upon a large branch, it suck out of the ground like a slanted tree. With ease, he and sunny climbed on the branch, it was a bit tall at the tip. At the tip of the barnch, it splitted into two. "Stand over there," Pearlstar gestured with his head. "leaf clan, in places everyone. I'm holding a naming cerormony. Today, all the youngs in the nursury would be given aprentice names, except for the three born the morning before" pearl star boldly announced. almost immediatly, about four hamsters raced from the softest and most covered looking fern. they seemed a bit older than sunny. All of them rushed to the branch and stood on four behind sunny. some looked excited and others looked shy.
"this beautiful golden hamster, would be given the name Goldenpaw in honor of her beautiful golden fur." Sunny smiled and her ears raised higher in a happy mood, She still had no idea what she was doing and why they were calling her goldenpaw, but since all the other hamsters that surrounded the branch looked happy, she felt good too. "This also pure white hamster, would be given the name Aquapaw." "But isn't aqua a name for dewclan?" called a black hamster from below. "She is a great swimmer, possibly better than that of dewclan. She is never frighten by water, and her fur is always shining like water." the hamsters below nodded in agreement, all but the black hamster. Aquapaw nudged sunny, and then she sat by sunny. "This strong, black spotted hamster will be called Blackpaw in honor of his fine black prints." Blackpaw stood by Aquapaw and sunny on the fat branch. "because of the small amount of warriors we have, Goldenpaw, Aquapaw and Black paw will share mentors. THeir mentor will be Shadowleaf." The black hamster who had earleir disagreed to Aquapaw's name jumped on the branch, he nuzzled each hamster with his muzzle."Shadowleaf, i hope you share your wisdom from your mentor to these fine younge apprentices." Shadowleaf nodded as he jumped down. Blackpaw, Sunny, and Aquapaw followed. "You, i hope you understand your name will be Goldenpaw in this clan. we don't use the foolish names your mother gave you." Goldenpaw nodded, She found her new name a bit better than her old one. The three apprentices sat around shadowleaf as the cermony countinued. "this gray hamster will be named ashpaw, in honor of his fur color, and his ability to be soft and gentle as ash.He no longer has a temper like fire." ashpaw jumped onto the branch goldenpaw was sitting on. "an this magnificently ginger spotted hamster, he will be given the name Blazingpaw, in honor of his strenth." Blazingpaw rushed by ashpaw, excited to know his mentor. "Firetail, you shall be their mentor." Firetail, the hamster which Goldenpaw had saw earlier, walked onto the branch from the end and rubbed noses with ashpaw and blazingpaw. "i hope you pass on the knowlege your mentor has thaught you." "Yes Pearlstar." He jumped down the branch along with his aprentices, ashpaw and blazing paw.
Pearlstar continued on,"as you may know, new leaf is here, but we have so little warriors and new youngs. so i expect more warriors, now that we have new apprentices. And, you probably know, Goldenpaw isn't a rodentpet, she is wild born. she will be a fine warrior too, i expect you to treat her properly, bear in mind- she is not a rodentpet." The hamsters below nodded, then as soon as pearlstar left, The group spread out, back to hunting, gaurding and whatever their duties were.
Shadowleaf finnally said "grab something from the fresh kill pile,from now on, you may eat where other aprentices eat-by the stump."Using his nose, he pointed towards a pile of insects and berries gathered by the bush in the center. then he pointed to a small flat stump, it was about the size of two hamsters wide and one hamster tall. "Small isn't it? Smallest stump i've every seen!" Aquapaw exclaimed, then she trotted towards the pile of insects. "Afterwards, i will show you around!" Called shadowleaf as they ran towards the pile of insects. Goldenpaw, and Aquapaw excited raced eachother to the freshkill pile. Aquapaw selected an earthworm and ran back towards the stump with the worm in her mouth. Sunny had never eaten a worm or moth before, in fact, she never tasted bugs. All her life, she ate berries, roots, and grass. "Well, might as well try..." Sunny picked out a gray moth, and raced back towards the stump. "Hey Goldenpaw! Sit by me!" Aquapaw called. Goldenpaw could tell Aquapaw was friendly. Goldenpaw placed her moth on the stummp, and then chewed on a wing. It tasted sweet, sweeter than berries. "mm!!!" Sunny squeaked, "never tasted a moth?!" Aquapaw squealed, almost laughing. "Well, you are going to LOVE leafclan. we eat alot of those here, but i think earthworms taste better. oh, and moths are really common here. So are ants, you are allowed eat as many ants as you want, and you can always bring back a bunch of common little ants but we will still get impressed. You should try an earthworm next time." Goldenpaw nodded, then she chew the moth's legs. Then she finnished the body, it was delishous. "So.. what does uh... the other clans eat?" Sunny squeaked, she wondered if they eat bettter things. "well, stoneclan eats scorpions, and nasty spiders. Breezeclan eats human junk that flys towards them. and dew clan gets alot of water, and they eat leeches that are in their stream. they're all gross and not apitizing..." Goldenpaw nodded, then sighed, she had definately made the right choice of joining the right clan. then, blackpaw came and finnished his meal quickly, while Goldenpaw and Aquapaw were leaving because their mentor called them, firetail's apprentices came.
"Follow, and don't skip ahead." Shadowleaf growled, he wasn't in a good mood. He felt Goldenpaw was like a useless rodentpet that was going to eat up all their food. Goldenpaw, Aquapaw, and Blackpaw followed obidiently as they approached a fern. it was glossy and smaller than the others. "this is the healer hamster's den. Healers heals your wounds after battle. LeafBlossom is our nice healer." A brown spotted hamster came from beneath the shade of the fern, "Hello! Welcome Goldenpaw, Aquapaw, and blackpaw, welcome to my den. you may come on in," Leafblossom gently announced. "Not today, they are going to use all their time on more important things." Shadowleaf darkly spoke. "Visit anytime!"Leafblossom squeaked cheerfully. "We will!" aqua paw replied. "Shush!" Shadowleaf grumbled. "what's with him?"Goldenpaw whispered,"probably..uh... he probably didn't get enough time to eat.." Aquapaw replied. "Now this is where You little bumble brains are going to sleep." "Did you get enough sleep?!" BLackpaw laughed. "Shut up." He barked.Golden paw looked at Aquapaw for any comments, Aquapaw simply shrugged. "Go mark were you'll be sleeping!And hurry bee brains!" Goldenpaw rushed after Aquapaw and Blackpaw, they seemed confused why Shadowleaf was so fussy today. "He just probably ate a bad bug. i've eaten one once, and i kept blaming mother for it the whole day." Aquapaw laughed, Goldenpaw nodded too. "probably..." Blackpaw agreed. Goldenpaw shivered at the thought of eating a bad bug how nasty it would probably be!
Goldenpaw carelessly selected a mossy bed with the sun shining through a bit of the leaves, she shuffled and messed up the flat bedding to show a hamster was here. Aquapaw messed up some bedding by Goldenpaw's. And Blackpaw found an undisturbed area hidden well in the fern's shade. "Hurry up! we don't have all day!" Called Shadowleaf. Goldenpaw, Aquapaw, and Blackpaw dashed back. Shadowleaf motioned for them to follow. "Next, we will see the youngs."He growled. Goldenpaw looked excited, this will be how she looked when she was younge. She had never seen a hamster younge, because she as blind when she was young.
Soon, they appraoched the same place Aquapaw, Blackpaw, ashpaw, and blazingpaw came from. It was softer than it looked, Sunny touched and sniffed the fern. It smelled cleaner, more dry, and it was soft. The spores underneathe the fern made it soft and velvet like. "why, hello. I am Spottedberry, one of the nursery queen, i am not nursing any right now, But please do come in. The youngs are... well, playing.. In a few Mornings, they will become apprentices, like you three." a Black spotted hamster spoke softly, her fur was like Blackpaw's, but her had less spots and her spots were bigger. Goldenpaw excitedly rushed in, followed by Aquapaw and blackpaw. Inside, there were grass. They were soft and comfortable. An almost silent squeak was heard, Goldenpaw raced to the sound. A tiny hamster, who barely had much fur, squealed again. It was white, but it had brown and black spots all over its back. It had large ears and eyes, it's paws were half the size of Goldenpaw's. "Aww..."Goldenpaw whispered. "SpottedDot! Not again!" Sunny turned to aquapaw, "SpottedDot?" "Well, they are the size of a dot i suppose. well, our ansetors named them somethingdot, we just do as they did."Aquapaw and Goldenpaw watched as Spottedberry picked up the little hamster with her mouth. The hamster squealed over and over again, it squirmed around.
"You three! get back here NOW!"Shadowleaf bellowed, "Time to see the warriors' Den!" Goldenpaw, aquapaw, and blackpaw rushed to the den with the largest fern. They past Shawdow leaf, then stopped by the warriors' den. "We beated you there!" Teased blackpaw. "Because of that, I want you three to skip smelling the scents of the other clan and hunt extra and overnight!" Growled Shadowleaf. "Shadowleaf, i beleive you are to let them know the scents, so when they smell something, they would know what it is." Came a voice behind Shadowleaf, it was Pearlstar,"And hunting overnight is to dangerous for new apprentices, Do i have to assign a new Mentor and let skyclan know they can't depend on you?" "No pearlstar... I was playing, i'm just in a... i guess..bad mood..." Shadowleaf grumbled. "Well, what would get you in a better mood?"
