[[Since Magic hasn't been on since November, I'll host this.]]
Othernight looked out at her Clan, remembering this before. She had done this before, but not in such a civil and organized matter. She smiled.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather for a Clan meeting!" The she-cat called, waiting for everyone to collect for a meeting. There would be some new warriors today.
[[Okay, anyone need a new name or have an announcement? BTW, it's short 'cause I have to go to the bathroom... I have Nightpaw to be made a warrior along with Sycamorepaw. Des, do you want Saviorpaw to get his name?]]

OOC: Yeah, it's prob'ly about time. And Nightpaw, too, please! I think Passion's kits should be named apprentices but... then again... you'll have to talk to Em.
BIC: Angel squeezed out of the nursery, her eyes glaring and her tail-tip twitching. She was still in a bad mood, and that showed in her fierce amber eyes. She was joined by one of the new aditions; Flamestreak.
"New Warriors, I expect." Angel grumbled. Flamestreak blinked.
"What sort of ceremony is it? I've never seen one before." She mewed.
"What? Never seen one? Then how'd you get your name?" Angel demanded.
"My mother named me Flamestreak. I never knew it was anything like a Clan name." She replied.
Nightpaw, Saviorpaw, and Ashfire sat side-by-side once again. A heavy gloom had laid itself down upon them; Ashfire would soon be returning to ThunderClan. The only question was whether Nightpaw would join them or no. He had been silent these past few days, reflecting on all that had happened. His amber eyes stared up dully at Othernight. He knew who she was: Fallingfeather. But something was different; he had to admit that. Nightpaw scuffed the earth with a forepaw and sighed.
"There's just something about this Clan that draws one in, isn't there?" He murmured softly. Saviorpaw turned to fix his brother with his blind gaze.
"I would never have become a true Warrior if I hadn't come here. I think for some of us this place is our destiny, if only for a while." He meowed. Nightpaw turned to see the other Nightpaw. Sometimes other cats confused him when they talked about her; perhaps he would get a name that didn't correspond if he stayed here. He looked down at his paws.
"What's wrong?" Saviorpaw asked quietly. Nightpaw shook his head, ignoring his brother's intense blue gaze.
"Nothing." He muttered.

[[So it's Saviorsoul and Ravennight?]
Othernight smiled.
"Our Clan grows strong this moon. We are in need of some new names." She thought of how to address the first Nightpaw.
"Let our female Nightpaw come forward." The dark black, blind she-cat slid forward. She and her brother had been two moons delayed for a ceremony, Nightpaw being too injured to walk and Sycamorepaw insistant on waiting for her.
"Nightpaw, do you promise to uphold the Warrior code, and defend our Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Nightpaw cast her blind gaze somewhat at Othernight.
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name. Nightpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as Nightsky. Your Clan honors your loyalty and bravery." Nightsky nodded, smiling happily. A blind cat really could be a warrior. Othernight nodded.
"Sycamorepaw, then? Please come forward." She watched the old apprentice bound up eagerly, and she purred in amusement. Sycamorepaw had been waiting a long time, and finally he could have his name. It was simple, yet beautiful, in Othernight's opinion.
"Do you promise as does your sister, to uphold the code and defend, possibly to death?"
The mute tom nodded, almost exploding with excitement. Sycamorepaw waited eagerly.
"Sycamorepaw, from this day forward you shall be known as Sycamoretail. StarClan honors your Wisdom and Faith." He liked that - Wisdom and Faith. They were good, happy things. They did reflect him.
"Now, shall our other Nightpaw come forward?"

OOC: Yep, unless someone can think of another name for Saviorpaw, 'cause I sure can't.
BIC: Nightpaw started. He had not quite made up his mind about whether he would stay or not. But perhaps... He stepped forward anyway. His raven-black fur seemed to shine with health as he stood. His sister watched him with nuetral eyes. Nightpaw was so different from the apprentice who had lived in ThunderClan just a moon ago. His head was proudly raised, his well-muscled body looking like that of the truest ThunderClanner. Ashfire was sad for a moment. If he stayed here, what a loss her brother would be to ThunderClan. But what was most important was that he was happy. She turned and looked at Saviorpaw. The tom was smiling widely, his eyes shining with pride for his brother. And I should do the same. She thought, smiling slightly as she turned to fix her eyes on the ceremony.

Othernight remembered Nightpaw from SilenceClan, a life passed, and so she knew the perfect name for him.
"Do you promise to keep to Clan ways, and defend us even at your life's cost?"

Nightpaw knew what was expected of him - but somehow he had to think about how he would reply. He wouldn't lie but he didn't know if he really wanted to be a part of this. He blinked and then nodded slightly.
"I will." He meowed desicively.

Othernight smiled. She knew that wherever Nightpaw would end up, he'd have a proud name to carry.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this moment on, Nightpaw, you shall be known as Ravennight. StarClan honors your Strength and Courage." Othernight turned to Saviorpaw.
"Saviorpaw, please come forward."

OOC: I just love that name! XD I'm glad I thought of it.
BIC: Ravennight dipped his head. It was a fitting name - a closing of his two worlds. He had once been Nightpaw; a strong and energetic young apprentice with a heart for hunting and battle and the rougher edges of Warrior life. And then he had become Raven; a cat who had forgotten who he was but was lost amidst the evil he had been engulfed in. Now, he was Ravennight; the tom who had been both of these, and now was someone else because of it all. It was a fitting closing, a finale that had been worth the wait.
Saviorpaw touched noses with his brother as he passed him. Ravennight seemed oddly at peace, and the thought comforted his blind brother. The tom stepped forward, realizing he was the last of his litter to be named. He was the youngest, though, so it seemed appropriate. He angled his face upwards, but he wasn't sure where Othernight was. He could scent her, but the wind coming from behind made it hard to place her exact location. Saviorpaw stretched out his more supernatural powers, though, and soon was able to locate her.

Othernight cast her gaze out to meet Saviorpaw's blind one. The final cat to be named, and she was eager to do so.
"Saviorpaw, do you as all before you pledge to uphold our code and defend us, even at the cost of your life?" Nightpaw felt her heart skip a beat as he walked ahead to get his name. Together they had gotten their names. Together.

Saviorpaw looked steadily in the direction of Othernight's voice.
"I would give my life and more, if I could." He meowed, dipping his head. They may have not been the usual, traditional words, but then again this was not quite the usual, traditional Clan. Saviorpaw's dark world sparked for a moment, and then suddenly all was illuminated. It's my Sight... has it come on this moment to let me see? He wondered. He was gratified as Othernight's powerful shape became clear against the blue sky. A tingle ran through his fur.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this moment on, you shall be known as Saviorsoul. You Clan honors your Compassion toward others and Faith in your Clan." She smiled at Saviorsoul - he was truly an amazing cat. Othernight then turned to the final naming.
"Ebonypaw?" She turned to face the dark brown she-cat. The apprentice slipped forward, eager for her name.
"Do you as the others?"
"I do. I shall uphold the code and defend with my life."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, your new name is Ebonywood. Your Clan honors your Hard Work and Patience." Ebonywood couldn't contain her excitement.
"This concludes our Clan Meeting." Othernight spoke happily. Then she began to call out the new names.
"Sycamoretail! Nightsky! Ravennight! Saviorsoul! Ebonywood!"

Saviorsoul joined in the chear heartily.
"Nightsky! Sycamoretail! Ravennight! Ebonywood!" He yowled. Ravennight butted heads with him and Ashfire nuzzled her brothers with a proud purr. She looked down at her paws, seemingly deep in thought. Finally, she blinked and looked up.
"I'm going back to ThunderClan tonight. I'm sure you will both be well off here... but this place is not for me." She meowed. Saviorsoul padded forward. He still had his sight, and the pain in his sister's face touched him. He placed his tail tip on her shoulder.
"May StarClan guide you, dear sister, whereever your paws lead." He meowed.

Topazleaf looked at Saviorsoul in disbelief, but nodded her head in approval. "May Starclan guide you along the right path." She mewed. Macadamiakit twined around her mother's legs looking up at the tom curiously.

The tortoiseshell tom turned to fix his pale blue gaze, somewhat cleared now, on the queen and her kits. His very keen mind instantly took in a picture of them for later refference.
"Thank you, Topazleaf. I am sure they will." He meowed. Truely this must be a historic moment; two blind cats, a deaf cat, and an apprentice from another Clan all named in one ceremony. Saviorsoul smiled. It was nice to know that life could be exciting.

[[Sycamoretail is mute, not deaf. Canyonfur was the deaf one.]]
Ebonywood smiled, walking shyly up to Saviorsoul.
"Congratulations." She meowed shyly, a wide smile spread across her face. "I like the name Saviorsoul." She blinked affectionately.

OOC: Whoops! Sorry... I knew I got that one wrong. But wait... is Ebony"wood" Ebonytail or am I just confused...? If she's not I'll change this here post...
BIC: Saviorsoul turned. He remembered Ebonywood's scent well enough - he'd smelt it a few times in the past few moons. But he had never seen her before. Unfortunately his Sight lasted no longer, and Saviorsoul's word was once again black. It was strange, though. He'd never seen for that period of time before. Was his blindness waring off? No, it couldn't be.
"Thank you. The same goes for you two, Ebonywood. I believe we all recieved very fitting names." He meowed, smiling slightly. Saviorsoul. An interesting if not ironic name. He wondered if it sounded a bit egotistical. Oh well. He was what he was.

[[? Ebonyaw aka Mountainfur's sister aka the one in our mini-plot is Ebonywood. Ebonytail is another cat I play elsewhere... Yeah, she is in the mini-plot with Savior and Night and Raven and them!]]
Ebonywood frowned as Saviorsoul seemed to stare at her in mixed shock and dumbfoundedness. What as wrong with her? Embarrassed, she looked away.
"Agreed." She meowed awkwardly, turning and bounding away. She hoped nothing was in fact wrong with her.
-
Sycamoretail approached Saviorsoul and smiled at the blind cat. Another voice spoke up beside him.
"He wants to congratulate you, I think." She didn't mention the fact that the both of them were blind. It was Nightsky.
"He just loves thanking and praising people." She felt several taps against her flank, and continued. "He wishes he could speak to you in person." What Nightsky did not know about the words were that Sycamoretail was suspicious of Saviorsoul and wanted to question him in private. It was too hard to communicate with tail-flicks and taps to her side.

Saviorsoul turned and listened keenly. He could detect the motions of Sycamoretail's tail and could sense some sort of odd emotion in the tom. Nightsky was a complete puzzle, as usual, but that wasn't a surprise. Perhaps she, too, was sensitive to other's feelings. That would explain a few things, like how defenseful her mental walls seemed to be; it was hard to get into her head.
"Well thank you, Sycamoretail. Is there something else you want to say to me?" He asked curiously.

Nightsky frowned. What did he mean? He tapped her again, and she once more felt confused. But she would tell Saviorsoul whatever her brother had said.
"He... he said that he knows who you are. What you can do. He's watching you." She spoke in a manner of confusion and uncertainty. That couldn't be right. But Sycamoretail heard it and tapped a yes to her. She sighed, shaking her head. He was too confusing.

Saviorsoul looked calmly at Sycamoretail. So that was that strange feeling? Though the tom wasn't sure if he was reffering to his Sight or his ability to sense other's feelings. Whichever one, Sycamoretail obviously thought it dangerous.
"I'm not quite sure what you mean. But don't worry; I'm not out to destroy the world." He meowed, twitching his whiskers in amusement.
