Mothkit's Apprentice Ceremony

As it was early in the morning and Darky can't type in the morning, Sunfur clawed up to the willow branch and called out, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather for a Clan meeting!"

Rainpaw yawned and stood up from her warm nest, shaking scraps of moss away from her pelt. The she-cat blinked and stumbled out of the den. Giving one more huge yawn, she shook her pelt and sat up, looking at Sunfur.

Mothkit was playing moss ball by herself, batting the ball and chasing after it. Obviously, Mothkit was having a good time, until a call came from the RiverClan deputy. Stopping beside the nursery, the she-cat felt excited of what Sunfur was going to announce. Forgetting the moss ball that was now just rolling away towards the nursery walls, Mothkit followed the gathering cats and saw Rainpaw, flicking her tabby brown tail in greeting and sitting near the front of the gathering cats. After all the thoughts running in Mothkit's head of what Sunfur had planned, she had her hopes up, as she knew that at this day, it would be likely to finally be her apprentice ceremony. I wander when my littermates become apprentices, too?

Streampaw padded to Mothkit. "Hey Mothkit, isn't it youre day? Six moons now aren't you? Fawnkit and you're other littermates should be aswell soon." She said happily, looking at the six moon old kit. "Hope you get a good mentor."

Fawnkit ran to her sister, and began to talk as fast as a hawk could fly. "Hey Mosskit? Are we gonna be apprentices today? Oh wait- I'm going to be an apprentice tomorrow, oh well. What do you think it will be like? You gotta tell me so I know! Okay? Will you? Will you please?????" She begged. She started to laugh at how fast she spoke. "Sorry, just excited." She mewed.

Mothkit gave Streampaw, her future denmate, a polite nod. To Mothkit, a 'good mentor' would be a warrior who's fierce, strong, and loyal. A good mentor I want indeed, she thought excitedly. Would her mentor teach her everything? Will she become a very strong warrior, just like her mentor? Whoever they would be, Mothkit couldn't help but let out a small squeal of excitement.

Seeing her sister, Fawnkit, Mothkit was already thrown with questions. She hasn't been made an apprentice yet! "Don't worry, Fawnkit," Mothkit finally mewed, "I'll tell you everything, so you'll know what to expect when made an apprentice! You're my sister, after all," she kindly mewed, nudging her sister's shoulder a bit.

FawnKit nodded. "Okay!" She said, sitting in the front row in front of willow branch.

Streampaw smiled at Mothkit and nodded her head as a way of showing, have a good time.

As the cats gathered, Sunfur remained silent for a few moments, then he spoke a few simple words while keeping his eyes on the kit this ceremony was for. "Mothkit, please step forward."

Stepping forward, Mothkit felt more excited. Finally, the time to become an apprentice. What would her mentor teach her, she wandered? Thoughts ran through Mothkit. As an apprentice, she could hunt, battle, go on patrols, anything a real warrior would do. She could even train with her fellow apprentices and littermates, and even explore what's out there! The Clans, maybe Highstones, and even Fourtrees! I can go to Gatherings and meet the other Clans!

After momentarily thinking about a mentor, Sunfur spoke again, "Mothkit[color], you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Mothpaw. Your mentor will be Ryefur. I hope he will pass down all he knows on to you.[/color]"
