Winterstar stretched his legs before leisurely walking out onto the Highledge. With a quick glance around camp, the black tom lifted his muzzle to the sky "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a clan meeting" His voice echoed throughout AshClan camp, as the tom tended to speak louder then need be. Winterstar sat back on his haunches, waiting for all of AshClan to emerge. He watched his old, blind friend Stonestream sit himself closest to the Highledge, already knowing what was going on and his own role in the meeting. |

Shimmerkit had a feeling what this meeting was about.She wasn't completely sure,but she thought it might be the day she became an apprentice.When she emerged from the nursery,she could feel several pairs of eyes on her,and she heard a few cats murmurmering something and she barely caught her name in their hushed whispers.This confirmed her theory.Shimmerkit strutted out of the interance to the nursery and took her place at the front of the group of cats that were beginning to cluster around the highledge.She held her chin high and puffed outr her chest.Today was the day she had been waiting for.All traces of her usual bitterness were replaced by excitement.Suddenly,her face fell as she had a thought.What if the clan leader decided not to make her an apprentice?What if her clabmates didn't think she was as good as Stonestream and threw her out?Shimmerkit tried to hide her worry as Winterstar resumed speaking.

Brambleface;;
The mouse searched beneath the dried, brown leaf that lay upon the ground, looking in vain for any sign of food. Brown and black striped tail lashed behind the muscular, yet feminine form of the feline crouching atop a small rock outcropping. Amber optics narrowed, turning to mere slits as the tabby watched the prey silently. Muscles coiled, then released as the femme sprang forward....
Eyes snapped open, staring into the darkness as Brambleface tried to get her bearings. Inhaling, the tabby closed her eyes breifly, then reopened them. Now adjusted to the dark of the warrior's den, Brambleface could see that any others that may have been there had vacated. Hearing the very last bit of Winterstar's call, the feline understood why. Muscles rippled beneath sleek fur as she heaved herself to her paws, picking through the warrior nests out through the entrance. Amber orbs narrowed at the brightness, and the femme moved slowly to sit at the edge of the gathered cats. She felt uneasy around the other AshClanners. Though there was no reason. Brambleface felt it would make things easier for others who did not understand how she had been reincarnated by DreamClan after suffering a brutal death in the great war that had raged between the Clans. Skull swing back and forth as Brambleface dispelled these thoughts. Now was neither the time or the place for them. Fixing amber gaze upon Winterstar, the femme waited for her to continue.

Jaypelt's ears pricked up when he heard the leader's call. He was nearing the entrance to the camp with two mice, not as plump as usual, dangling from his maw. The two had been extremely lucky catches, especially this time of year. He vaguely wondered what the meeting was about, when he spotted Shimmerkit standing in front of a crowd of cats. He quickly ran to the fresh-kill pile and dropped the mice into it, before hurrying to find a spot in the crowd to sit. His mind wandered to his own apprenticeship. It had, of course, been very exciting. But eventually the duties of an apprentice started to become a bore. But he still carried on until he became a warrior. He smiled encouragingly at the kit, sending a silent prayer to DreamClan to guide her through the path to becoming a warrior. [/size] |

Shimmerkit saw more cats gathering in the clearing and wished the rest would hurry up.She wanted to have her ceremony already!She saw Brambleface and Jaypelt enter the clearing,and she could sence an encouraging mood surounding Jaypelt.He seemed like a nice cat,even though she she didn't knoew him very well.Shimmerkit turned her sightless eyes back to where she knew Stonestream sat.She couldn't feel his eyes on her,but he could tell he was thinking about her.She really liked Stonestream,he was like the father she never had.Shimmerkit turned her attention back to Winterstar as he began to speak.

Winterstar looked down at the young cat sitting below the highledge. "We have a young kit, who is now old enough to become an apprentice" giving a quick glance over the clearing, he continued "Shimmerkit, until you have earned your warrior name, you will be called Shimmerpaw, and Stonestream, my most trusted friend, and the best one to teach this kit, will be your mentor, I ask that you pass on the things you have been taught to Shimmerpaw" Winterstar finished and sat down.
Stonestream, with a smile on his face, padded up to his new apprentice and lowered his head to touch his nose to hers. |

Shimmerpaw padded up to her new mentor with a broad grin on her face.Of course,there was no surprise in Winterstar's choice of her mentor,but it didn't mean she couldn't happy about it.The new apprentice couldn't help but look a little sorrowfully at the nursery and her old den mates of it.But,I'm sure the apprentice den will be even better,she thought.No,she corrected herself,not the apprentice den,my den.Slowly,the loud voices of her clan mates started,chanting her name.Her new name.Shimmerpaw.Shimmerpaw lifted her chin in pride as the voices of her clan mates echoed through the forest.
