-Sunpaw of Talonclan-

It's been too long, the white she cat sighed observing the nursery space, the female was becoming more worried everyday, had the whole clan noticed how fragil her health was and told Briarclaw? Was she never going to become a warrior? Worry was consuming her and making her already fragil health completly miserable, she couldn't sleep, eat, and her family couldn't do anything about that, so when she heard the deputy calling a ceremony... Her eyes became full of tears and she was ready to be ignored but then... "Sunkit, please step..." Her eyes opened wide and before she noticed, her paws had carried her outside to listen correctly, was her name... Really Sunpaw now? She sat down completly shocked her legs where weak and they trembled like a thin branch in the wind, that was even happening? The female wasn't sure.

-Mosspaw of Talonclan-

Mosspaw couldn't be happier, well perhaps he could but finally becoming an apprentice really made him feel walking over clouds he thought he would almost be able to fly if he jumped from the cave entrance! It was like a dream come true, not even the clan problems could change that, even if the young tom was indeed worried with Pebblestar but, it all seemed so far away from him, he had to find Dovesong, green eyes scaned the crowded cave in search for said cat, but, he didn't even know how she, or he?, looked like so...

-Larkspring of Talonclan-

The apprentice smirked, no he wasn't an apprentice anymore now, it wouldn't take too long for his mind to get used to it the tom was very sure of it. "You see Goldenpaw, I'm now a warrior." He purred to the she cat and his only friend, the tortoiseshell apprentice only smiled to her friend and nuzzled him purring. "I had heard it you silly! Congratulations Larkspring." He would never admit it but he felt his ears go hot and faked a cough to hide his embarrasement. "You think there's a reason for you not having become an apprentice?" He asked to her starting to feel a like angry because his friend had been ignored, she shaked her head a small smile gracing her features. "I asked for it, I don't feel ready yet." To say he was surprised wouldn't describe half of it. "but... Goldenpaw you shouldn't have done that! Being a warrior is all that matt..." "It isn't" she interrupted him gentle. "It's not everything, you have to be good, to be able to protect others, and I'm not." She said looking into his eyes. "You are strong and I'm sure you are ready, I just wish I had your confidence." Larkspring sighed and envolved her body with his tail. "I will always be by your side." He whispered and she smiled knowing it was true while the ceremony kept going.

Marigoldpetal

The ginger she-cat walked towards were the other apprentices were standing. She was nervous, but she smiled gently to Icepaw when she saw him. She still remembered their past conversation, and she hoped he would get his warrior name today. He deserved it.

Marigoldpaw, you have earned your wings. Please step forward.

She woke up from her thoughts, a name had been called and it had been hers. She took the step, trying to supress any nervous giggle. "Marigoldpetal"-She murmured to herself, to get used to her new name. She wasn't Marigoldpaw no longer.

When her friend's name was called, she purred. "I think Icefeather suits you. I told you your name was going to be great"

Meadowpaw

The black she-cat didn't paid a whole lot of attention to the ceremonies for the new warriors. All she cared about was to get her apprentice name and be finally out of the nursery.

When her name was finally called, she took her step forward with her tail up and with fire on her eyes. She wanted become the best, and she hoped her mentor would understand that. She padded towards Quail-leap, curiosity now shining on her eyes. Who was the cat she had been apprenticed to?

"Hello"-She said bluntly, not really finding any other word to say.

Dovesong made her way to Mosspaw, her amber eyes set onto him with a friendly warmth. She seamed to be looking him over for signs of potential. With a seemingly satisfied face she touched her nose to his and sat onto her haunches. Her tail flicked at she spoke in a calming tone.

"Its good that I get to mentor again." She mewed and flicked her tail.
"You probably don't know me, I'm quite shy when it comes to new cats, but I am Dovesong."
She continued with a growing smile as a small purr rose in her throat. "We should start training soon, have you eaten already?"
She would ask and cock her head in a funny way to rub her ear against her shoulder.

Mosspaw touched noses with his mentor purring lightly, he was very happy that his mentor had found him. "And I'm happy to be your apprentice Dovesong!" He meowed happily to the warrior that he was going to spend a lot of time with from now on. "So, where do we start?" He asked a little ancious but also nervous, he didn't knew what was going to happen from now on but he hoped that things worked out.

[Deleted]

"Well, since It's one of your duties, I'm sure you know of, is to feed the elders, I suggest hunting." She'd mew and turn around to look at the fresh kill pile. "With new-leaf here, it should be a bit easier now anyway." Her gaze would go back to Mosspaw. "I should start with a simple territory tour though, No sense in hunting if you don't know where to do it."
She said with a giggle and walked out of the cave entrance.

"No time to dawdle!"

(Can u start the thread please? Isilme)

[Falcon]

Mudbranch he kind of liked that name it spoke of climbing and the nature of the world around him, he looked around eagerly searching for Brackenlight and Bluelightning, he was finally a warrior now to and he was excited to do warrior stuff with them like when they were apprentices Deku Isilme

Lionfire held his head high as he got his new name, and an apprentice, clearly Briarclaw knew what she was doing, he was a very important part of the clan, every future leader is he padded over to his apprentice and smiled kindly "Hello there Mousepaw, I'm Lionfire, how about we go out and I show you the borders then we do a little hunting practice how does that sound?" Midnight

[Deku]

OOC: YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAAYAYAYAYAY! And I'm too excited to put in Brackenlight's posting table. Oh well.

IC:

Brackenlight peeked out the warriors den at the call of their deputy. She was worried about Pebblestar missing, but maybe things were going to get better. As the ceremonies started she waited anxiously, hoping that this would be Mudpaw's call to becoming a warrior. She grinned as his new name was announced and as soon as the ceremonies were over she raced up to him, bouncing on her paws.

"Yay! You're Mudbranch now! Let's go find Bluelightning and Birdpaw and then we can go out into the territory like when we were all apprentices!" She was excited. Both of them had been waiting for this day.

OOC: Oh yes. Brackenlight and Mudbranch need to go on a short walk about mate thing. And believe me. It will be short.

[Wolf]

Nightwind raised his head proudly, amber eyes shining with pride. His name was perfect. I'm a warrior! He thought with a rush of excitement. A purr rumbled in his throat as he looked around the Clan, shoulders slumping a little as he remembered he didn't really have any friends to celebrate his new name with.

[Dyzzie]

Mudpaw sat still through the ceremonies, anxious for his own name to be called. The first Mudpaw went up, and the apprentice watched his name change, then another cat, another cat, another cat. Finally . . . . nothing. It was new apprentices. The cat sat in shock . . . . had, had he done something wrong? Surely he was eligable? He was nearly 21 moons old now, and . . . . still an apprentice. He quickly hit his hurt, his disappointment, instead heading forward to do the right thing. His clan-mates had been given a great honor, especially Mudbranch. Taking a deep breath, the tom put on a kind smile, before approaching the other tom, "Congratulations, Mudbranch." He mewed, "The name's rather fitting." He turned to congratulate a few others before quietly moving off . . . he'd have to wait for next time, and until then, he'd just push himself twice as hard . . . surely, he'd make it eventually. Eventually he'd just have to earn his warrior name . . . . . right?

Falcon for Mudbranch xP

[Falcon]

"Thank you Mudpaw, don't worry next time I'm sure you'll get your change Briarclaw has a lot going on right now is all, with Pebblestar, she probably would've forgotten me if I hadn't been held back to remain Pebblestar's apprentice, don't sweat it Mudpaw, you'll get your chance very soon" Mudbranch nodded then turned to Brackenlight "Yes we really should, come on lets go find them" he smiled at her a light feeling in his chest

OOC: I agree Deku very soon and very short XD

[Isilme]

Bluelightning came back from his hunt just to find a ceremony happening. /oh mouse dung! Today is Mudpaw ceremony I need to find him/ the white tom thought waving his tail side to side before quickly leaving his prey in the fresh kill pile to go and search for his old friend, he had to be there somewhere.

Falcon Deku

[Deku]

"Alright! Come on Mudbranch!" She mewed before running off, searching for their friend. Brackenlight let her bright green eyes search the crowd for the white tom. She finally saw him and ran over and jumped, hoping to land on him. "Hey Bluelightning! Want to come on a walk with me and Mudbranch like we did when we were all apprentices?" She mewed excitedly.

OOC: O.O my muse is dead.... Only 63 words...

[Fiction]

Prickleheart padded over to his son, Bristleki-paw. "Congratulations, Bristlepaw," he said in the warm tone he only used for his family.

Bristlepaw nodded shyly. "Thanks, Prickleheart. I hope I'll be a good apprentice."

"You will." Replied Prickleheart confidently. He knew his son was shy, but he had no doubt that he would make a good apprentice. "Now I need to find my apprentice," The spiky furred tabby gave Bristlepaw a lick on the ear, then vanished into the crowd of cats. Soon he found his apprentice, Riverpaw. "Riverpaw," he said, usual gruffness back. @lilykit

Bristlepaw looked around for his mentor, Bluebird. He started to get a bit scared. Where was his new mentor? @feralxsoul

[Skiv]

Ivyheart heard the call and she padded forward with the rest of the clan. She sat down and watched as the long ceremonies took place. She knew that this time around she would be not recieving anything considering she already had an apprentice that wasn't being made a warrior yet. She just glanced over at Goldenpaw and smiled slightly. She then turned her attention back to Brairclaw and thought We are going to be here a while She just yawned and sat there. Waiting, she smiled slightly when Mudpaw received his warrior name. Then she waited until the cermonies were over. Standing up stretching her legs she padded through the crowd to the large tabby tom. She smiled slightly as she approached him. He already had a crowd of cats wanting him to head off and she just said to the tom. "Congrats Mudbranch."
