Ivyfall slowly passed by her clanmates as she approached the willow branch, there was a moment of pride that another of kin rose to warriorhood. But that was tainted by the bitterness of loss that lingered in the knowledge that it was not a moment shared with Otterleap, Snowpaw and Sparkwillow. They should be here, but they weren't. Two dead, one in a freak accident, another to foolish love. And Otterleap, he was simply gone, leaving behind a broken family. It was a tragedy, but the deputy hid the heaviness behind her pride, Splashpaw became a true clan cat of her own merits and deserved to have this day to honour her without family ruining it.

So she leapt up in one go, and called out to clan. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the willow branch for a Clan meeting,"

Splashpaw fiddled half-heartedly with the broken stem of a reed, so focused on her miserable excuse of a game that she only barely noticed Ivyfall slipping past. Her ears twitched at the Deputy's summons and her small head lifted with interest as she turned to watch as her kin took her place upon the willow branch.

She was surprised to feel a little spark of excitement- even after all the shenanigans that had transpired during her assessment, perhaps they had still decided to go on with her Warrior ceremony? After a brief moment of thought, Splashpaw lifted herself to her feet and scurried over towards Ivyfall and the small crowd, her heart beating a little faster.

Shellwater lay in her nest with her head on her paws, staring at nothing with empty orange eyes. The quiet buzzing in her ears was broken with the sound of Ivyfall's voice, calling a summons for the Clan. Normally she would just watch from the den, but if this was the ceremony that she thought it was, she had to get up. Making a sincere effort, the bedraggled calico she-cat found her way onto her paws and out into the late afternoon sun, staring not at the silver tabby on the willow branch, but at the miniature version of the experienced warrior that sat under it. Splashpaw. Her daughter. Her one remaining daughter. The only piece of family she had left. And yet, Shellwater had managed to become distant to the beautiful, vibrant young apprentice that was so like how she had been- before Lionfur ruined her life. But today was Splashpaw's day. Splashpaw was not Shellpaw. And though their family had innumerable troubles, today they could celebrate. A tiny spark of life showed in her tired, broken orange eyes as she watched the ceremony commence.

"Splashpaw, please step forward." The deputy called out, her eyes flickered over to Shellwater inadvertantly. The she-cat looked harrowed, but proud of her kit. Let today be a moment of joy, she thought to herself. Let it be a celebration in the darkest of moments.

It was a bit strange in her taste to attend a Clan meeting without Otterleap, Sparkwillow, or Snowpaw, but at least Shellwater was there. Splashpaw managed to flash an appreciative glance towards her mother before redirecting her attention to Ivyfall, her ears perking as she was summoned.

Her chest began to rise and fall a bit more rapidly as she slowly took a step towards the willow branch that Ivyfall was seated upon, a glimmer of faint excitement now evident in her eyes. Splashpaw halted at the edge of the small, loosely gathered crowd and stared up at the Deputy with anticipation.

"I, Ivyfall, deputy of Riverclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." She turned her skyward gaze down to Splashpaw now, it was time for her to decide her own fate. To embrace the code as her sister did not, to become the warrior that Snowpaw did not have a chance to be. "Splashpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Ivyfall's words and the unspoken meaning within them made Splashpaw's fur prickle, but the moment the Deputy actually turned her gaze upon her, it only grew worse. She felt small beneath her kins gaze- these were the same words that were spoken to Sparkwillow and the same words that would never given to Snowpaw. "I do." Splashpaw finally mewed softly, feeling a slight lump gather in her throat as the words escaped her mouth- why was a moment like this, a moment that she had been dreaming for since she was old enough to even dream, so sorrowful? Perhaps it was because she hardly had any of her immediate kin here to share the moment with her.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Splashpaw, from this moment you will be known as Splashwillow. StarClan honours your loyalty and compassion, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan." Ivyfall spoke with a gentle look in her eyes, she knew what the newly named warrior was thinking. She had felt the same with Jasminepaw's death looming over her at her ceremony, and the loneliness that clung to her as a former ThunderClanner, but Splashwillow had Shellwater. She also had the support of her clanmates. And though she was a distant figure to Splashwillow, now that she was a warrior, and there was no silly apprenticehood jealousy that could get in the way, she swore to help the young she-cat. To be there for her as a fellow warrior. "As per tradition, Splashwillow, you will hold a silent vigil over camp tonight starting at Sundown. But for now, let us all celebrate her becoming a warrior."

Shellwater watched the ceremony finish, eyes filled with the quiet pride of a mother. Her remaining daughter's new name struck a blow to her heart. Splashwillow. The name was so close to Sparkwillow's that the newly named warrior looked exactly identical to her deceased twin for a split second. But then her oldest daughter's laughing eyes were gone, replaced by her living daughter's grief-filled but proud ones. That wasn't right. Her little Splashpaw- no, Splashwillow- shouldn't be sad. Not now, not today of all days. So what if Sparkwillow had bled out, killed by a forbidden love? So what if Snowpaw's life had been cruelly taken, before she could gain her true name? Now was not the time for grief. Rousing herself to her feet, the scarred warrior padded silently up to her daughter, pressing her petite body gently against the younger she-cat's almost identical calico pelt. Determined orange eyes met uncertain amber ones as the mother gazed into her kit's face. "Splashwillow." The she-cat's voice was broken, quiet, but still full of love. Her daughter's new name sounded strange, but she liked the way it felt on her tongue. "Splashwillow." She couldn't yowl it out, she didn't have the strength, but she felt like she couldn't say it enough. It was the least she could do for the strong, brave young she-cat so determined to keep their splintered family together. Though every word was taxing, each syllable had meaning. "Otterleap would be so very proud." Shellwater touched her nose to her daughter's, letting out a sound she hadn't for moons upon moons.
A purr. "I love you, little one."
