"Moonkit, 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 Moonpaw. Moonpaw your mentor will be Pinefang. I hope Pinefang will pass down his stregnth and courage down to you." Moonpaw's eyes shined as Deerstar finished the sacred, ancient words, and she padded up to Pinefang, touching noses with the big tom.
"Don't worry, you'll be one of the best warriors this Clan has ever seen," Pinefang whispered in her ear before she stepped back, purring at the warrior's encouraging words.
Moonpaw and Pinefang padded over to sit down and watch Goosekit's ceremony.
"Cats of ThunderClan, as you know, I will not be around forever. So it's time I took an apprentice. I have chosen a cat who has shown promise, determination, and love for his clanmates. Your next medicine cat will be Goosekit," Cloudwisher said, her strong voice echoing throughout the camp.
"Goosepaw, do you accept the post of apprentice to Cloudwisher?" Deerstar asked, her voice sounding frail, Moonpaw realized that Deerstar had started to grow old.
"I do," Goosepaw mewed, his eyes shining with apprehension and exitement.
"Then at the half-moon, you must travel to the Moonstone to be accepted by StarClan before the other medicine cats." Cloudwisher finished, her gray pelt shining is the sunlight.
"The good wishes of all ThunderClan will go with you." Deerstar mewed.
"Moonpaw, Goosepaw, Moonpaw, Goosepaw!" the Clan cheered.
