Not wanting to tarry when she knew her Clan was exhausted, Mottlestar figured she would begin. "Thunderclan, before we take our journey, we are here to celebrate an apprentice who should earn their name. Quailpaw, please step forward." Once she had done so, the leader would continue. "Starclan, I call you to look down upon this apprentice who has trained hard in the ways of your noble code, and ask that you make a warrior in turn. Quailpaw, do you promise to protect, serve, and defend Thunderclan and the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?" Such a question... it almost felt like a feather in recent times to Mottlestar. Still, she had to ask, her gaze focused right on the apprentice in question.
