Noblestar's lithe gray and white body appeared from behind the shadows of his den. He gazed around, eyes a pale green, excitement and contentment fluttered in their depths. He made his way to the High__ eventually, taking his time, but not after giving a long, dramatic stretch and a humongous yawn. He was approaching the High__ with the same limping gait he always had after the accident. The regal leader finally reached the top, and settled himself down with a small flicker of a smile. Noblestar was fairly young, definetely not yet even half an elder's age. And yet he was still about as old as an almost senior warrior. Even so, he still remembered, quite vividly, the day of his apprenticeship. It seemed as if it was only last moon when he had been assigned to Emberstar as her apprentice. He remembered the sensations of eagerness, excitement, and also fear that had erupted inside of him on that big day. Now it was time for Crystalkit's big one. Finally he found his voice after those vivid remembrances. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the High__ for an apprentice ceremony!"

Crystalkit emerges from the den she was in and ran up to the rock and looks up see Noblestar, her dad. She then just realized that it was her Apprentice Ceremony! She was happy but tried to keep her face still, it ended up with her smiling.

Emberfrost padded out of the warriors den, her usual shadow, Crimsoneyes no longer there. The other warrior had been killed by a fox not too long ago. The old warrior sighed and padded over and sat in front of the High Rock, looking up at her former apprentice. Lunarstorm and Cloverstem walked into camp, both of them with prey in their mouths. The two of them out the prey in the fresh-kill pile, then sat down to watch the ceremony.

Thrushtalon approached the cats calmly, yawning slightly. Nothing interested ever happened, did it? He was glad from the reprieve from lolling around the lazy camp all day, with the exception of his patrols and hunting parties he occasionally went on.
Heatherdream lay in the warrior's den, nibbling a mouse, fresh by the smell and taste. She took a large bite, and then noticed a sound from outside the warrior's den, probably from the leader's. It sounded like a cat, except this one she could identify easily by the sound of his pawsteps. As she finished her meal she recognized the limping shuffle his paws made as they made contact with the rock beneath them. Gulping down the last of the mouse she got up and yawned. Noblestar made the call to gather and her ears pricked. A cool breeze blew against her face, which led her to the entrance of the den. She emerged, looking just like any warrior who could see. Except, she couldn't. She felt the body warmth of a few cats as she neared the High Rock, and weaved in and out of them easily. She settled down next to Lunarstorm, glancing at the she-cat. "Are you expecting kits?" she whispered, "It sounded like it, the way you sat down. You sounded...heavier than usual. And, I noticed something going on between you and Noblestar. Really, everyone noticed...but anyways. So?"
Noblestar sat in wait for more cats to gather.

Lunarstorm smiled at Heatherdream, her brown eyes gleaming. "Yes, I am expecting kits. Noblestar is the father." She meowed to the blind she-cat. "I'm actually going to move into the nursery soon. So how have you been?" She asked, her eyes gleaming with curiosity since she hadn't talked to Heatherdream for a while.

Cinderfrost sashayed her way out of the warriors den, stretching silky gray furred legs out, accompanied by a yawn. The femme padded over to Lunarstorm and Heatherdream, blue eyes smiling in place of her maw, which let yet another yawn escape.

Noblestar gazed around. "Cats of BlazeClan. We are gathered here today to witness the ceremony of a kit long since ready to become an apprentice," he began, "Cystalkit, please step forward." He waited for the kit to do as told, as the ceremony couldn't go on until she did.
Heatherdream shrugged. "Not much. The Clan seems boring."

"Close enough," Noblestar laughed, pushing her back a few paces gently then lowering his voice to a whisper, "You're supposed to stand right there in front of me, facing me." Then he raised it for everyone to hear. "I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this kit. She would like to become a warrior, but first must train as an apprentice," he announced, "Crystalkit, from this day forth, until you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Crystalpaw. I wil be your mentor."
Heatherdream smiled at the familiar words. She could feel a fresh wave of pride and happiness radiate from Noblestar.
Thrushtalon grinned.

Crystalpaw looked a little confused then she walk infront of her Dad. Her stomach tingled with pride, but she quickly held it down. She then said in a whisper "Erm, now what Daddy?". YES! my Dad's my Mentor! YAY!

"Now, you wait for the chant to begin," was all Noblestar bothered to say. Instantly he began it, chanting her name enthusiastically.
Thrushtalon joined in satisfiedly.
Heatherdream smirked and started to call Crystalpaw's new name as well.
"Crystalpaw, Crystalpaw!" they repeated over and over.
