Ripplepaw's Warrior Ceremony

Subject: Ripplepaw's Warrior Ceremony Mon Oct 06, 2014 1:59 pm

Digging his claws into the thick wood, Sunfur stood tall on the Willow branch. So after a second he called out, "Let all cats old enough to catch their ow prey gather for a Clan meeting!"

This must be it!

Striding from the apprentice den came Ripplepaw, his long legs carrying him towards the willow where he would, hopefully, become a warrior. The large-for-his-age tabby tom settled on his spot opposite Sunfur, his blue eyes gleaming with excitement.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
-Percy Bysshe Shelley

Streamheart padded over and sat silently. She watched from the crowd of cats. Seems like it'll be Ripplepaw's ceremony. He's been an apprentice for quite a while.

As Sunfur saw the older apprentice appear from the apprentice den, he called out in his normal proud tone. "Ripplepaw, please step forward!"

Rainstreak trotted over to sit right behind her brother, smiling. "You'll become a great warrior, Ripplepaw!" she whispered, almost inaudibly.

SnowFrost sat down in the clearing with her tail curled around her paws. She smiled at the sight of Sunfur, the cat who used to be her mentor when she was an apprentice. To her, he looked like a leader. Her gaze then traveled to Ripplepaw, her friend. He's going to be a great warrior, she thought. The pretty she cat then looked around the camp before her gaze went back to the deputy again.

Inhaling a large amount of air, the slim yet muscular tabby stepped forwards a pace or two, his deep blue eyes focused on the deputy. Ripplepaw acknowledged his sister with a flick of his ear before tilting his chin up to Sunfur.

With a slight nod at the apprentice, Sunfur spoke again, "I, Sunfur, deputy of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Ripplepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

This is it.

The words buzzed like bees in his brain as Ripplepaw opened his mouth to speak. "I do." He swore he could hear his voice echo around the camp, but he shook it off.

After hearing the apprentices words, Sunfur nodded his golden head before speaking, "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Ripplepaw, from this moment you will be known as Rippletail. We welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan."

"Rippletail, Rippletail!" Streamheart cheered.

Filled from his paws to his ear tips, the new warrior Rippletail dipped his head respectively to Sunfur and smiled. "Thank you."
