Shadepaw missed his old mentor but he had to get his name for his clan mates to accept him as medicine cat. The death of his mentor made him come early before the half moon.
He pressed his nose to the cold moonstone. The feeling that passed though him, as if he turned to one of his warrior ancestors himself, gave a carefree feeling to him.
He opened his eyes to see the clearing filled old medicine cats, his old mentor Bluefeather standing infront of them all. He couldn't believe how much he felt to see her but the feeling all the cats eyes burned into him.
Bluefeather walked up, stars glittering her pelt. "My young apprentice, I am sad that I couldn't do this while I was alive but today you will go back as Shadowclan medicine cat." she meowed looking upon the still small Shadepaw.
I, Bluefeather, old medicine cat of Shadowclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the way of a medicine cat, and with your help he will serve his clan for many moons. Shadepaw, do you promise to uphold the ways of a medicine cat, to stand apart from rivalry between clan and clan an to protect all cats equally, even at the cost of your life?
Shadepaw looked around with scared eyes, sucking in a deep breathe he puffed out, "I do!"
Bluefeather nodded and went on. "Then by the powers of Starclan I give you your true name as a medicine cat. Shadepaw from this moment your will be known as Shadesmoke. Starclan honors your commitment to learn and your care of a cats health, and we welcome you as a full medicine cat.
Shadesmoke looked over the cats as his old mentor rested her muzzle on his shoulder. he returned it by a lick on her shoulder. His name started a slow chant across the old medicine cats, growing in power as the few seconds passed on.
The clearing started to turn blurr and the urge to close his eyes over seized Shadesmoke. He woke to with a great feeling with his new names. He was only 10 moons old but he was a medicine cat now.
He turns back and began his journey back to Shadowclan.
