"Wake up, Daykit! It's time for your apprentice ceremony!" her mother was calling in her ear. A blast of excitement filled her. She was going to become an apprentice! She bounced out of the den and into the clearing, ignoring her mother trying to smooth her pelt. I hope I get my father as my mentor! Lionstorm was the biggest, bravest most amazing warrior in the whole forest.
Noblestar was waiting on the Bigstone.
"Will all cats old enough to bite someone's tail gather below the Bigstone for a Clan meeting!" called the golden-furred leader. Featherberry the medicine cat came from the medicine den, followed by Herbpaw, his apprentice. Bigpaw, Littlepaw, Weakpaw and Skilfulpaw ran raucously into the clearing, generally being rude to their mentors.
"It is time to welcome a new apprentice to LightningClan," said Noblestar nobly. "Daykit, come forward." With every nerve in her body screaming with excitement, Daykit ran up to the Bigstone.
"From this day forth until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Daypaw." He paused as the clan cheered her name.
"Daypaw, I think you are so totally skilled, that no other cat deserves to teach you. Therefore, I will be your mentor." All of the clan gasped in astonishment. Daykit stumbled up to her new mentor and touched noses, almost breaking her own against Noblestar's. I wonder why the clan leader wants to mentor me?
