Warrior/Apprentice Ceremony

[kelsey .]

Arcticstar scrambled up to the Tall Root; it was time for kits to be made apprentices and two new additions to be made warriors. "All cats old enough to catch their their own prey gather below the Tall Root for a Clan meeting, Including Darkkit." She nodded to the approaching cats, and began to speak again. "As all of you know, we have two new additions to our Clan-Mistpaw and Canyonpaw. They are going to be appointed to be warriors, Darkkit will become an apprentice, and Acaciapaw, Coudpaw, and Skypaw will be made warriors." She smiled wanly, happy because the three apprentices that were Talonstar and Stormclouds only kits would become warriors today.

Not wanting to keep that kit waiting, she called Darkkit first. "Darkkit, please step forward." She smiled, her choice for Darkkit's mentor was herself.


((OOC: Bramble, Aikoa, I hope these warrior names are alright for Mistpaw and Canyonpaw, if not, please tell me what name you would wish for them to be- Canyondusk and Mistpaw))

[-laughs- It'll be Canyonfur, that's what I decided... I know Darkkit already has you as a mentor but if you could spare him... Canyonfur would be most grateful? -.- You'll probably say no, but oh well. Worth a shot, right?]

Canyonpaw smiled, happy to hear the familiar cry once again. So long in darkness, in shadow... Now he was back where he belonged. He couldn't suppress his happiness, not an ounce of it was hidden. His whiskertip-to-whiskertip grin was something of a spectacle, and he bounded eagerly to the front of the group, as close as any cat would dare get. He waited eagerly, as this was a once-in-a-lifetime event and he couldn't miss an expression, not a twitch, he had to remember everything.

((OOC :Sure! CanyonfurCan mentor Darkkit))

[Brambleclaw]

[w00t! Thanks a bazillion!!! <3]

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

OOC: Well considering Mistpaw is an apprentice name XD her Warrior name will be Mistrose (I know, I'm so creative).

BIC: Mistpaw padded after Canyonpaw calmly, her eyes fixed on Articstar. There was some unreal quality to the moment, and so no true excitement really registered in her mind. She just stood, proud and smiling only slightly, waiting for her life to change.

Midnightsun watched with a cool expression. Everything seemed to be going well in ShadowClan. Except... his eyes wandered to Brokentail, who sat smirking. A shiver passed up Midnightsun's spine and he turned away to look at the ceremony again.

OOC: Oh ya, do I RP one of those kits, Rysa? I thought I did, but I don't remember -.-

[Brambleclaw]

[Haha! I love the name Mistrose, so familiar. PMed you, BTW, and I'll wait for Anwyn to reply]

[kelsey .]

((OOC: Whoops! I meant Mistwind, but Mistrose is great And I do think you RP one of them, I rp Acaciapaw and Cloudpaw, you rp Skypaw, I thinkies)

[Brambleclaw]

[xD Who RPs Darkkit?]

[kelsey .]

(Darkkit rps Darkkit )

[Brambleclaw]

[Oh xD... Is Darkkit active? Because you'll have to OOC him along in a second if he doesn't reply]

[kelsey .]

((yeah, sort of...))

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

OOC: Mkay. I don't remember anything about him so I'll wing it.

BIC: Skypaw padded up to join the other cats. His tabby fur was quite like his mother's, but the white stripe that ran from his nose-tip to his tail was an odd and unique marking. His dark grey eyes stared up at Articstar with a calm intensity. He wanted this so badly. He wanted to make his parents proud. He wished he could have known them a little longer. But alas, it was not to be.

OOC: I'm thinking of a good name for him... what about Skyblaze? Skystripe? Skymoon? Skyseeker...? Gosh I can't think of anything. What do you think, B-claw, Rysa?

[Brambleclaw]

[Skystrike? Skyfall? Skystone? xD Skystone -snickers- That'd be awesome if he was a Skystone... I had a cat named Skystone once... Skyleaf? Skybright? Skyshadow? Skywing? Skyhawk? Oh, that's probably my favorite. Skyhawk... ]

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

OOC: Ooo that one is cool! Skyjay would be cute, too. XD Well... hmm... I don't know, I'll see what Rysa thinks.

[kelsey .]

(OOC:Skyjay is cool!!)

[Brambleclaw]

[]

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

OOC: Ooo I like Skyfeather! But Skyjay is good, too... hmm... well just go with one of those.

[Brambleclaw]

[[We need to get on with the actual Ceremony... xD]]

[kelsey .]

[[Let's do the five apprentices first then]]

Arcticstar looked down at the five apprentices in pride, even though two of them were new and strange to most of the clan. "Canyonpaw, please step forward." she said, eyeing the kit who had been a little terror to the Clan a while back. Has he changed at all? She shook off her skeptical feelings, and prepared to give him his warrior name-Canyonfur. she hoped he liked it. "Will you uphold the warrior code in all ways, even if it means sacrificing your life?"

[Brambleclaw]

For ShadowClan, always. He thought, wishing he could only be trusted. He could feel the uneasy tension growing between the cats. Inwardly he sighed - why couldn't they see he'd changed? He hated the waiting, the hoping, for something to change. He knew that standing up would only cause more suspicion, while blending in also would seem odd. What could he do, when either way cats would not trust him? Should he have stayed in twolegplace, with Mistpaw, and just lived there? He didn't know what to do, so he just nodded.
"I do." How he wished to add more. Suddenly, the ceremony began to weigh him down. He could do nothing more than strive to please the Clan, and hope that one day he'd be accepted. He had to be. Or else he'd let Rootpaw down.
