Skykit lost track of time, and rather quickly, time seemed to pass her. Everything was blur, and suddenly time seemed to just get on a normal pace.
Mousestar somehow managed to climb up onto Hightree, "May all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet under Hightree for a Clan meeting!"
When the Clan was beneath Hightree, and Mousestar who perched herself on it, the leader turned to look at Yarrowkit, Sagekit, and Mintkit.
The three kits' pelts were shiny, glossy, and smooth looking. Skykit almost wanted to reach out and touch one of their pelts.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, she would like to become a medicine cat of TreeClan, but first must become an apprentice," Mousestar began, looking down at Sagekit, "From this day forth, until you have earned your medicine cat name, you shall be known as Sagepaw!"
"Frogleap, you are ready to take an apprentice. Your wisdom and art of healing has proved helpful to our Clan. You will begin Sagepaw's training. Sparkleaf has trained you well, and I hope that his skill will pass through you onto your new apprentice," Mousestar meowed, then she turned to Yarrowkit.
Frogleap and Sagepaw touched noses.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, he would like to become a warrior of TreeClan, but first must become an apprentice," Mousestar began, looking down at Yarrowkit, "From this day forth, until you have earned your warrior name, you shall be known as Yarrowpaw!"
"Rosetail, you are ready to take an apprentice. Your great hunting has proved helpful to our Clan. You will begin Yarrowpaw's training. Blackcloud has trained you well, and I hope that her skill will pass through you onto your new apprentice," Mousestar meowed.
Rosetail and Yarrowpaw touched noses.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice, she would like to become a warrior of TreeClan, but first must become an apprentice," Mousestar began, looking down at Mintkit, "From this day forth, until you have earned your warrior name, you shall be known as Mintpaw!"
"Snakestripe, you are ready to take on an apprentice. Your tracking skill and battle tactics has proved helpful to our Clan. You will begin Mintpaw's training. Rockfoot has trained you well, and I hope that his skill will pass through you onto your new apprentice," Mousestar meowed.
Snakestripe and Mintpaw touched nose.
Then the Clan erupted with cheers, "Sagepaw! Yarrowpaw! Mintpaw! Sagepaw! Yarrowpaw! Mintpaw! Sagepaw! Yarrowpaw! Mintpaw!"
Then the Clan wandered off to do their business.
"Congratulations," Skykit bounded up to the three new apprentices.
"Thanks," Sagepaw beamed.
"I can't believe I'm an apprentice!" Yarrowpaw added.
Mintpaw remained silent.
"Good luck with your training!" Skykit meowed before padding away to join with siblings with a game of moss ball.
Bramblekit gathered up a bunch of moss and somehow managed to make it into a round ball, "Catch this!" He threw it and it landed on - Mousestar.
Mousestar eyed the ball, then eyed the kits, a little smile crept up onto her face, her paw lashed out and she batted it towards Dapplekit.
Dapplekit picked it up with her claws and threw it over to Skykit, who batted it over to Mousestar.
The TreeClan leader picked it up with her claws, just like Dapplekit had done, and threw it over to Bramblekit.
It continued on like this, and soon enough the kits were tired out.
"Thanks for playing with us, Mousestar," Skykit mumbled under her breath.
"It was actually quite fun," the older she-cat confessed.
Skykit watched Mousestar pad away, and into her den.
