Asterpaw's Warrior Ceremony

Today was the day that Littlestar's daughter, Asterpaw, would be receiving her warrior name. She couldn't have been more proud of the daughter she raised if she had tried. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Jaggedrock for a clan meeting!" She yowled, the familiar words ringing across the camp.

At the call of her mother's words, Asterpaw moved quickly towards Jaggedrock. The she-cat hoped and prayed to StarClan it was her warrior ceremony. She had been a -paw long enough, and was ready to take on her warrior name and serve her clan. Asterpaw starred up at her mother and waited.

"Today we gather to give an apprentice her warrior name." She meowed, pausing for effect. "Asterpaw, step forward." She called out, her gaze locked onto the she-cat with a proud smile. Once she had taken a step forward, she continued. "I, Littlestar, leader of ShadowClan, 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. Asterpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" She called out solemnly, her gaze not leaving her daughter.

Asterpaw's chest fluttered as she stepped forward when her mother called. "I do." She responded confidently to Littestar.

Littlestar nodded approvingly as Asterpaw responded, “Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Asterpaw, from this moment on you shall be known as, Asterleaf. StarClan honors your Patience and determination, and welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan." She finished with a warm purr before leaping down to congratulate her daughter.
