More Ceremonies! (All of Leafclan)

[kiba]

Redstar leaped up onto the tall rock. He looked down and then raised his maw. "Let all cats old enough to swim in the river join beneath Tall Rock for a clan meeting," he mewed. He waited until all the cats had gathered and than looked down. "Featherpaw, Spottedpaw, Speckledpaw, and Tigerpaw please step forward," he mewed. He looked at them with his red eyes and let out a small purr they were getting new warriors. That was good.

"Spottedpaw, you have shown us that you are a loyal and strong clan member. I hope that will stay with you throughout your life. From this day forward, you will be known as Spottedflower," he mewed.

"Featherpaw, you have shown us that you are a caring and understanding clan member. I hope that will stay with you throughout your life. From this day forward, you will be known as Feathercloud," he added.

"Tigerpaw, you have shown us that you are a brave and smart clan member. I hope that will stay with you throughout your life. From this day forward, you will be known as Tigerfrost," he stated. He then looked at the last apprentice.

"Speckledpaw, you have shown us that you are a devoted and loyal clan memeber. I hope that will stay with you throughout your life. From this day forward, you will be known as Speckledbreeze," he finished. He then hopped off of Tall Rock and landed down in front of his clan.

"This meeting is not over, though. Everyone here, excluding the new apprentices and kits, know about the danger of MN and his clan of rouges. Well, I am here to tell you that there is nothing to be scared of. Yes, he attacked us at a gathering. Even so, I want to travel to the other clans territories with a small group of warriors so I can meet their leaders and discuss what to do. After all, he has taken over Whisperclan and he has to be dealt with," he explained, after all the cheering was over.

[Midnight]

Spottedpaw stepped forward as directed and dipped her head as she was given her warrior name. Spottedflower... I like it! She purred, "Thank you, Redstar!" She listened as her littermates' warrior names were given to them and she called their names. She stopped as Redstar said the meeting wasn't over and listened. "Yes, he does!" Spottedflower called in agreement.

"but is what happened in WhisperClan really our- and the other Clans'- businesses?" Pumpkinheart challenged.

[kiba]

Redstar looked at Pumpkinheart. He narrowed his red eyes. "Yes, it is Pumpkinheart. If he can take over one clan than he will surely try and take over the rest of us. He might even succeed in it. Which is why we have to act now. Unless you want to be MN's kittypet toy," he mewed to her, tail lashing. He than looked at Spottedflower and nodded, glad she agreed with him.

"I'll rip him to shreds," Spiderkit mewed, running over and swiping her claws in the air.

Leopard picked up Spiderkit by the scruff and moved back to where she was. She set the kit down and then looked up. "MN is powerful from what I heard. Everyone came back wounded," she mewed.

Brackentail looked around. "MN isn't someone to take lightly. He seems to know of our traditions," he mewed, claws digging into the ground.

Silverpaw watched from a tree branch, her pelt hiding in the shadows. She was one of MN's clan members and had gone on this mission without him knowing. She wanted to become a warrior so badly and this was going to be the only way to do it is to bring back valuable information.

[Midnight]

Pumpkinheart shrugged, "How do we know for sure he's going to, though? He may just have thought WhisperClan is weak- which he was clearly right, if so- and thinks the rest of the Clans are stronger and will leave us alone? Besides, we are stronger than WhisperClan! In the event that he does come with his Clan, we'll be ready and able to fight! We won't give in like WhisperClan! We've got more numbers and we're stronger than that!"

"Same here," Flamepaw meowed, padding over to sit near Spiderkit. "I'll destroy them before they can get any length near the nursery!"

Snowkit gulped in nervousness, not knowing how to feel or what to think. I suppose the Clan best be ready and the apprentices train hard.. She thought, looking around at her Clanmates.

[kiba]

Redstar nodded towards Pumpkinheart. "He may think that, but Whisperclan did not deserve what it got. We must help them chase out MN and his cats," he mewed sternly, pelt bristling. This she-cat only thought of herself! She didn't care about her clan or any other cat in the forest besides two of her kits!

Spiderkit purred at Flamepaw.
