It was moonhigh. Bramblepaw, Squirrelkit, Leafkit, and Orangekit were freshly groomed. The four cats were all excited. The kits were about to become apprentices, and Bramblepaw was about to become a warrior.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting." The call came from Firestar. When every cat was there, he spoke again.
"Tonight we will have a new warrior, and three new apprentices. Bramblepaw! You have been an apprentice for many moons. Longer than most cats. You really deserve your warrior name. I, Firestar, leader of ThunderClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon 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. Bramblepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." Meowed Bramblepaw happily.
"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name. Bramblepaw from this moment you will be known as Brambleclaw. StarClan honors your loyalty and courage." Firestar rested his muzzle on Brambleclaw's head. Brambleclaw jumped down and joined the other warriors.
"Squirrelkit! From this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be Squirrelpaw. Dustpelt! You were a good mentor to Ashfur. Please pass on all you know to Squirrelpaw." Dustpelt and Squirrelpaw touched noses, then jumped off of the Highrock.
"Leafkit! From this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Leafpaw. Greystripe! You were an excellent mentor to Brackenfur. You also trained Stormfur well while he was in ThunderClan. You will be mentor to Leafpaw!" Greystripe and Leafpaw touched noses, then jumped off of the Highrock to join Squirrelpaw and Dustpelt.
"Orangekit! From this day until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Orangepaw. Goldenflower! You have not had an apprentice. You have been a good warrior for many seasons. You will be mentor to Orangepaw." Goldenflower and Orangepaw touched noses and jumped down.
"Brambleclaw! Squirrelpaw! Leafpaw! Orangepaw! Brambleclaw! Squirrelpaw! Leafpaw! Orangepaw!" called the ThunderClan cats.
Yes, I do know that Leafpaw was supposed to be a medicine cat. She will be. And I will come up with a plan to get rid of Orangepaw and Frostkit! Evil laughter. I have a few ideas, but review with any ideas you have please! No more posts until I have 30 reviews! I only have 28 now cries. Ok, so I'll post an updated alligences page. I mixed things up a bit... new apprentices, warriors, and elders! The last two moons before Midnight will be exciting! Orangepaw and Frostkit have to go, and Leafpaw needs to become a medicine cat! How will Goldenflower and Frostkit's mentor deal with losing their apprentices? Plus, when this is finished, I'm going to work on the Cloudtail as a kittypet and Smokepaw after his fall stories. Have fun reading!
