The warm weather felt nice on Marshstorm's dark pelt as he padded towards highrock for his second official ceremony. As he looked around the clan, he felt a sense of comfort and peace. Times had been tough lately, but he felt an odd sense of peace about it all. Most of it, stemmed from the future generation. He smiled as he glanced a couple of kits from the nursery, soon they would be apprentices themselves. One of them, was already past the time to become an apprentice. He leapt onto Highrock, a soft smile on his muzzle as he readied himself for the familiar gathering cry.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting!" He yowled, keeping his calm tone and watching as cats suddenly diverted their attention towards him. A prickle of unease ran down his pelt at being watched, but he focused on looking at young Bonekit, then at the gathering cats.
