"Foxkit come back here the clan meeting doesn't start until Silverstar calls the clan together," meowed Lilytalon.
"But I want to be an apprentice now!" whined Foxkit.
"You just have to wait until Silverstar calls then clan together than you will become an apprentice along with Falconkit and Sandkit," meowed Lilytalon. "But you'll be in the Apprentice's Den with Featherpaw, Lightningpaw, and Bluepaw."
"But I won't have to be in the same den as Spottedkit, Eaglekit or Squirrelkit for a few moons," retorted Foxkit.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a clan meeting," yowled Silverstar.
"Okay you three, don't rush, look like you're already warriors. You're father would be so proud of you," meowed Lilytalon as her glistened with sadness and loss for her dead mate. Foxkit, Falconkit, and Sandkit walked out of the nursery with their heads held high.
"Today three of our kits have reached the age of six moons and are ready to become apprentices," meowed Silverstar as she beckoned the three kits forward. "Foxkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Foxpaw. Your mentor will be Fernsong." I hope Fernsong will be a great mentor, thought Foxpaw, I don't want my relationship with my mentor to be like Featherpaw and Sparkstorm. They don't get along, at all. "I hope Fernsong will pass down all he knows on to you. Fernsong, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Blossomfall and you have shown yourself to be integrity and responsibil. You will be the mentor of Foxpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Foxpaw." Fernsong touches noses with Foxpaw. "Falconkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Falconpaw. Your mentor will be Crowtail," Falconpaw gets to be mentored by the deputy, thought Foxpaw, he's so lucky. "I hope Crowtail will pass down all he knows on to you. Crowtail, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Ivypool, and you have shown yourself to be loyal and integrity. You will be the mentor of Falconpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Falconpaw." Crowtail touches noses with Falconpaw. "Sandkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Sandpaw. Your mentor will be Ambermoon." Ambermoon is a great cat but she tends to be a bit care free, thought Foxpaw. Sandpaw is so serious, that might not end well. "I hope Ambermoon will pass down all he/she knows on to you. Ambermoon, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from Spiderleg, and you have shown yourself to be adventurous and kind. You will be the mentor of Sandpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Sandpaw." Ambermoon touches noses with Sandpaw.
"Foxpaw, Falconpaw, Sandpaw," The cats of Thunderclan cheered for the new apprentices.
"Come on Foxpaw, I'm going to show you the territory" meowed Fernsong. As he starts to head towards the thorn barrier. Foxpaw quickly raced after him to see what lay beyond the barrier. As they walked out of camp Foxpaw was overwhelmed with all the new smells, he could detect some of them as his clanmates and others as prey. "Don't worry, you'll get used to all the scents," meowed Fernsong, amusement glistening in his amber eyes. "Come on I'm going to show you where you're going to train," Fernsong meows as he races off. Foxpaw, with his long legs, easily kept up with Fernsong. "Watch out." yowled Fernsong. Foxpaw slowed down but only to be tackled by a white she-cat with silver and blue flecks. She even had a collar!
"Hi," she meowed, letting Foxpaw up. "I'm Star."
