Wolfkit's Apprentice Ceremony

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the willow branch for a clan meeting!" Looking over the clearing, the leader called for all of the clan to come assemble beneath her. It was the momentous occasion where a kit became an apprentice, and the clan gained another to fight and feed the clan. Of course, this also meant some warrior would have to undertake the task of teaching this kit. She had the perfect cat in mind for Wolfkit too.

Wolfkit came out of the nursery and looked at his clan mates gathering around their leader.
He looked at his leader for awhile before remembering that he now was 6 moons old and this probly was his cermony.

"Wolfkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and now it is time for you to be apprenticed. Until you are deemed ready to be a warrior, you will be called Wolfpaw. Your mentor will be Splashwillow, whom is an experienced mentor. I know that she will teach you well, and make a fine warrior out of you." Ivystar meowed carefully, before turning to Splashwillow. "I trust taking on another apprentice will be no issue?"

Wolfpaw looked at is adoptive mother and nodded respectfully towards her.

Splashwillow had watched the newly-named Wolfpaw's ceremony with pride glowing in the depths of her gaze- her adopted kit, an apprentice at last! They were all growing up so fast. Tail curled neatly around her small paws, the calico Queen watched intently as Ivystar smoothly worked her way through the ceremony and bestowed the young tom with his 'paw name. At Ivystar's mention of Splashwillow herself becoming Wolfpaw's mentor, she was a bit surprised. She had just been given Sweetpaw as an apprentice as well, so juggling their training could be a bit difficult, but it wasn't anything she couldn't handle. "I've raised four kits together at once," The Queen cheerfully confirmed, her heart swelling at the realization that Ivystar thought so highly of her as a mentor, "I see no problem with training them together as well."

Rising to her paws, Splashwillow quickly broke away from the small crowd that gathered for her adopted son's ceremony, and smoothly padded towards Wolfpaw. A fierce pride was gleaming in her amber gaze as she bent down ever-so-slightly to touch noses with the young tom, although there was a soft and gentle purr evident in the next words she spoke. "I look forward to training with you."
