Sagepaw's Warrior Ceremony

After notifying the apprentice, Shadowstar jumped up onto the large rock gracefully. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather underneath Jaggedrock for a clan meeting!"

Sagepaw padded out of the apprentice's den, having made sure his pelt was well groomed and that he was mentally ready. He controlled himself to slow breathes and a small smile on his face, though in his heart we felt so excited that he could jump up and touch StarClan.

Ooc: making this quick o3o

Shadowstar looked down at the apprentice, proud of how well he has done and how clean he looked. "We are gathered today to make this apprentice a warrior. Sagepaw, please step forward," she mewed.

Sagepaw felt his pelt prickle and stepped to the front of the crowd that was so obviously there.

Dawlight appeared out of her den just in time, to see the start of the ceremony.

Gingerkit poked her head out of the nursery just in time to hear Shadowstar's announcement. She couldn't wait until she could be an apprentice; especially one like Sagepaw.

"Sagepaw, do you promise to protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?" Shadowstar asked him happily.

The young tom stood up as straight as he could, his bright green eyes shining up at Shadowstar, they revealed that he spoke the complete truth when he said with a firm voice: "I do."

Pride mirrored in her own eyes, the leader continued to speak. "Then I hereby give you your warrior name. Sagepaw, you will now be known as Sagewhisker." She meowed powerfully.

Gingerkit, being naive and slightly over-zealous, jumped out of the nursery with no clue as to how these usual ceremonies went. All she knew was that Sagepaw was a warrior now. "Go Sagewhisker!" She squeaked, her face beaming at her friend.

Sagewhisker purred loudly at his new warrior name and dipped his head, "Thank you, Shadowstar." He thought that his life would be held back with the entire clan knowing of his being born in RiverClan, but it hadn't bothered him in the slightest, and he was proud to be able to begin his life as a full-fledged ShadowClan warrior. A nice name too~.
The newly named tom turned around, hearing Gingerkit be the first one to cheer his own name. He smiled sweetly and mouthed a 'Thank you' to her as well. The only thing left to do to complete this night was his silent vigil, and the only problem, staying still in such a joyous mood.
