Owlstar leaped on the Owl's Roost and called the sarcred words, "Everyone who can catch their own prey must gather under the Owl's Roost for a Clan meeting!" As the cats gathered he stared down under his rock where many cats sat. He looked back up at the Clan again. "We have many new cats joining us today. Our warriors are Cougarclaw, Wolfstalker, and Forestpool." He paused and stared down at the three new warriors, "Do you three promise to uphold the warrior code and protect the Clan with your life?"
"I do." They said calmly, with a tint of nervousness.
"Then, by the powers of StarClan, you three are warriors of AnimalClan. I have high hopes for you.
"We have some new apprentices as well. To take care of it, come forward you three kits." The three trembling kits hopped forward and faced their leader. "Moonkit, you have reached the age of 6 moons, so, do you promise to uphold the warrior code?" Moonkit nodded and mewed calmly and loudly, "I do." Owlstar dipped his head to her, "Then, until you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Moonpaw."
Moonpaw blinked at his pause, no mentor?
Owlstar turned to her brother, Mudkit. "Mudkit, you have reached the age of 6 moons, do you promise to uphold the warrior code?"
"I do." He meowed.
"Then, until you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Mudpaw. Your mother, Riversplash will mentor you." Mudpaw hopped over to his mother and touched noses with her, and Riversplash whispered something to Mudkit, which was unheard.
"Last, but not least, Whitekit." Whitekit looked up to his leader with his sparkling blue eyes. "You have reached the age of 6 moons, so, do you promise to uphold the warrior code?"
"I do!" He cried.
Owlstar purred and continued, "Then, until you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Whitepaw."
Whitepaw waited for his mentor's name, but no name was given....
Before anything else, Owlstar looked up to the sky, "StarClan, give praise to these apprentices who now become warriors!"
Owlstar looked over at the apprentices: Hawkpaw, Emeraldpaw, Brairpaw, Skypaw, and Falconpaw. "All step forward please." The apprentices eagerly stepped forward, trembling with excitement. "Trembleglade." He looked at her with a pause. "As your apprentice completed his training?" Trembleglade nodded and had a pause as well, "Yes.. he did O-owlstar." Owlstar turned back to Hawkpaw, "Then, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Hawkpaw nodded bravely, "I do."
"Then, you shall be known as Hawkflight. And you shall mentor the newest apprentice, Moonpaw."
Moonpaw sighed with releif and touched noses with Hawkflight.
Owlstar turned to Emeraldpaw, nodded, and then turned to his mentor, Morningdapple. "Morningdapple, has your apprentice completed his training?" Morningdapple nodded, "He sure did, Owlstar." Thinking, If I were leader I would have done this sooner!
Owlstar turned to Emeraldpaw, "Then, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." He said.
"Then, you shall be known as Emeraldclaw. And, you shall mentor the newest apprentice, Whitepaw."
Whitepaw bounded to Emeraldclaw and touched noses. As Brairpaw stepped forward.
"Blizzardsight, has BRairpaw completed her training?" Blizzardsight nodded and Owlstar turned to Brairpaw again. "Then, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect the clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." She muttered.
"Then, you shall be known as Brairfall. Newly made warrior of AnimalClan." As they touched noses and BRairfall licked his should, Falconpaw was beginning to step forward.
Owlstar looked at his deputy, "Echoleaf, Falconpaw has completed his training, yes?" Echoleaf nodded and Owlstar stared at Falconpaw. "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect the clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then, you shall be known as Falconwing. StarClan bless you." They touched noses and Falconwing licked Owlstar's shoulder. And Skypaw stepped forward.
"Tallflower, Skypaw has completed her training?" Tall flower nodded and he stared at Skypaw, "Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect the clan, at the cost of your life?" Skypaw dipped her hesad, "I do." Owlstar continued, "Then, you shall be known as Skywing." They touched noses and Skypaw licked Owlstar's shoulder.
"Lasty, we have three new apprentices joining us today. Riverpaw, and her mentor is Cougfarclaw. BLuepaw and her mentor is Wolfstalker, and Coyotepaw and her mentor is Forestpool. Welcome to AnimalClan!"
Moonpaw! Mudpaw! Whitepaw! Riversplash! Hawkflight! Emeraldclaw! Brairfall! Forestpool! Riverpaw! Bluepaw! Coyotepaw! Wolfstalker! Cougarclaw! Falconwing! Skywing!
