Receiving Two Apprentices.

[Brambles]

Rowanstar padded forth from her den, gray coat with flecks of black bathed in sunlight that burst through the blue sky. She lept nimbly onto the Highrock and called out, "Let all cats old enough the catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock!" Her heart leaped as Rowanstar realized this would be the first apprentice ceremony she would give as a leader.

Stonestream had already been in the clearing, tearing away at a peice of fresh kill. Minnowstep came out of the warriors den, stretching his hind legs theh padding over to sit by Stonestream.

[rem<EMBER me]

Finchkit and Larkkit came thundering out of the nursery. Finchkit ran ahead of his sister, and skidded to a stop just in front of the Highrock. His blue eyes, which always showed his emotions, were shining with excitment. "Isn't this exciting, Larkkit?" He asked his sister as she skidded to a stop beside him.

"Yes! Of course!" Larkkit meowed, her unreadable eyes showing no emotion. But it was easy to tell she was excited by her voice. She had never sounded so excited before. "I wonder who our mentors will be.

[Brambles]

Battlestorm padded out of the warriors den, making her way over to sit beside Minnowstep and Stonestream. She nodded a curt greeting before waiting for Rowanstar to continue.

Rowanstar look at the gathered cats and nodded. "It seems that two kits have become of age to be apprentices." She began, her icy eyes falling on Finchkit's and Larkkit's. "Finchkit and Larkkit, please step forwards." She meowed.

Snowpaw watched Finchkit and Larchkit walk up to her leader.

[rem<EMBER me]

Finchkit and Larkkit looked at each other, then they stepped forward together. They looked up at Rowanstar, both of them trembling with excitment.

[Brambles]

Rowanstar nodded at the two apprentices, then meowed, "Finchkit, from this moment on, you will be known as Finchpaw. Your mentor will be Battlestorm." She then turned to Larkkit, her blue eyes glowing in the daylight. "Larkkit, from this moment on, you'll be known as Larkpaw. Your mentor will be Stonestream."

Wolfeyes stepped forward to congratulate the new apprentice. "I hope to see you two made warriors soon." He said with a stern yet happy gaze, to Flinchpaw and Larkpaw.

[rem<EMBER me]

Finchpaw's blue eyes lit up as he padded over to touch noses with his mentor, Battlestorm. Larkpaw nodded her thanks to Wolfeyes before following her brother's lead, and padded over to her mentor. She reached up to touch noses with Stonestream.

[Squid]

Stonestream padded up to Larkpaw and touched noses, he couldn't see her but he knew her scent well. He could also scent Finchpaw's excitement.

[Brambles]

Battlestorm smiled down at Finchkit, a rare gesture from herself. "You will make a fine warrior when I'm don with you." She purred, a mysterious glint in her violet eyes.

[rem<EMBER me]

Finchpaw smiled at his mentor, his blue eyes still bright. "I can't wait!" He meowed with excitement. "What are we going to do first?"

"I'm so excited!" Larkpaw meowed. "I've been waiting for this day forever!" She looked over at her brother with his mentor, then turned back to Stonestream. "Are we going to start training today?" She asked.

[Squid]

"Why not, how about I show you around the territory first?" Stonestream smiled down at Larkpaw, happy to get an apprentice, despite that he was blind.

[rem<EMBER me]

"Ok!" Larkpaw meowed. "That sounds like fun! Are we going to see the borders and cats from other clans?" She asked, her eyes still unreadable. Even though most couldn't tell, she was the happiest she had ever been in her life. This came partially from the fact that she was now an apprentice along with the fact that she had a great mentor, Stonestream.

[Squid]

"Well, we may see other patrols, but if you see RageClan let me know" He was still cautious about going near them.
