Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors


My former denmate stepped closer to the stone. He looked up.

"From this day until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Berrypaw"

Moonpaw.

"Berrypaw! Berrypaw! Berrypaw! Berrypaw! Berrypaw!", the clan called.

Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Moonpaw! Moonpaw!

"StarClan watch this apprentice and guide him on his path"

StarClan watch over her and help her in any time of need.

"Tigerfire, you're a great hunter and quick learner. I know you will pass these traits on to your apprentice."

Fallingheart, you're caring and gentle. I know you will pass these traits on to Moonpaw.

Berrypaw raced over to his new mentor. The dark tabby touched his nose to Berrypaw's and turned back to the ceremony.

"Swiftkit"

Sandkit.

"From this day until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Swiftpaw"

Sandpaw.

"Swiftpaw! Swiftpaw! Swiftpaw! Swiftpaw! Swiftpaw!"

Sandpaw! Sandpaw! Sandpaw! Sandpaw! Sandpaw!

"StarClan watch this new apprentice and keep him safe on his path to be a warrior"

StarClan watch her while she becomes the greatest warrior of SandClan.

"Brightdream, you're cunning and a great fighter. I know you will pass these traits on to Swiftpaw."

Illuminatedpath, you're a great hunter and teacher. I know you will pass these traits on to Sandpaw.

Swiftpaw walked over to Brightdream and touched noses with her. The clan seperated.

Why'd I choose Illuminatedpath? How would I know if she's a good hunter and teacher?

"Let's go see Berrypaw and Swiftpaw!", I didn't notice Sandkit come up behind me.

"Now, now kits. Berrypaw and Swiftpaw will be going out with their mentors. Let them go, you'll join them soon", Morningleaf mewed.

Grr. I wanted to run out and see them, but I stayed, envious of my former denmates.

"Hey, we still have fair teams for moss-ball", Ugh! Ravenkit just drop it!

"No thanks", Sandkit suprised me there.

I walked over to Morningleaf. Time to come clean. Do I really want to? Ah, well.

"Morningleaf?"

She turned to face me, "Yes, sweety?"

"What if I want to be a medicine cat?", What am I saying?

Morningleaf smiled, "Then you tell Fallingheart, honey"

With a nod I walked away. But I dont' wanna tell Fallingheart! I'll tell Acornstar!

Racing out of the nursery, I looked for the leader. There! Next to Skyy Stone! Quietly I walked up behind him.

"Acornstar?", he jumped. Heh! I scared the leader!

"Oh, yes Moonkit?", he looked at me funny. I'm not the one in your stupid prophacy!

"Can I, um, be a, uh, medicine cat apprentice?", Why am I saying this?

He tilted his head with a smile. I wanted to stick out my tounge and walk away.

"Of course. I'll tell Fallingheart"

"Wait! Could you, um, suprise Fallingheart?", I guess coming 'clean' didn't work.

Purring with amusment, Acornstar nodded. I mean it! Grr.

The next two days passed quickly, normally. I watched from a distance as Swiftpaw and Berypaw enjoyed apprenticeship. Today Ravenkit's litter would become apprentices. Finally, he'll be gone!

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Sky Stone for a clan meeting"

Again.

Ravenkit, Thornkit, Splashkit, Nightkit and Mothkit were already at the nursery enterence, walking out side-by-side.

"Our nursery has been full this greenleaf. I am here again to welcome Ravenkit, Thornkit, Mothkit, Splashkit and Nightkit as they enter their sixth moon and become full apprentices of SandClan"

"Thornkit"

The light brown tom stepped forward. Lucky!

"From this moment until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Thornpaw"

Again.

"Thornpaw! Thormpaw! Thornpaw! Thornpaw! Thornpaw!"

Again.

"StarClan watch this apprentice on his way to being a warrior"

Again.

"Larkflight, you're loyal and brave. I know you will pass these traits on to him"

Touch noses.

Thornpaw walked over to his new mentor and touched noses with her.

Next.

"Nightkit"

Sandkit sat taller to watch her friend.

"From this moment until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Nightpaw"

Again.

"Nightpaw! Nightpaw! Nightpaw! Nightpaw! Nightpaw!"

Sandpaw called her name loudest.

"StarClan watch this apprentice and guide her paws to become a warrior."

"Burningdawn, you're patient as well as challenging. I know you will pass these traits on to your apprentice"

Noses.

Nightpaw bounded to her mantor and they touched noses.

Mothkit.

"Mothkit"

Knew it.

"From this day until you get your warrior name you will be known as Mothpaw"

Of course.

"Mothpaw! Mothpaw! Mothpaw! Mothpaw! Mothpaw!"

Always five times.

"StarClan guide her paws to be a great warrior"

Not the greatest.

"Ferretleg, you're an excellent thinker and strategy maker. I know you will pass these traits on to your apprentice."

Yes, yes he will.

Mothpaw happily touched noses with her new mentor. I wanted more than ever to be able to be an apprentice. Why StarClan? Why not now?
