Morning's MCA Ceremony

Froststar quietly stepped towards the nursery, careful not to wake any sleeping kits. She gingerly stepped inside and looked around, her eyes resting on one kit in particular. "Morningkit," She called quietly. "Come with me, please." She stated gently. Of course, Morningkit probably had no clue what was going on, but Froststar didn't feel like explaining at just that moment.

Morningkit opened her green eyes and looked up. She saw Froststar looking at her. She rose to her paws and slipped out of the small nest, following Froststar out of the den

Froststar slipped out of the den, summoning the kit to follow. Once she was outside, she decided it was safe to talk without the risk of waking up a bunch of loud kits. "Do you know what we're going to do?" The leader asked curiously, looking at the small she-cat as she walked out of the camp.

"No," Morningkit meowed, curious

Froststar nodded, smiling softly at the kit. "This is your ceremony. You're going to be a medicine cat- well, apprentice. Same thing." She explained, looking around. "We're going to the Moonstone, which involves a lot of walking." She said apologetically, glancing at the she-cat. Maybe RiverClan's leader would talk to her ancestors too, while they were there. She was glad to have another medicine cat. With leaf-bare approaching, and the chance of sickness and starvation rising, they needed someone to help more than ever.

OOC; Time skip? :D

Morningkit brightened as the leader said they were going to her ceremony. She was finally six moons old? Morningkit walked with a bounce in her step, happy that she would finally get to get her apprentice name.

OOC: sure

*time skip* |D

Froststar stopped in front of the cave, taking a moment for Morningkit to catch her breath- and to take it all in. The mountainous landscape was a lot to look at, after all. It was beautiful, but it was jagged and wild. She looked over at the entrance to the cave, where it was pitch black, and seemed to suck up any light left outside. The fallen sunlight painting the rocks red. She looked over to Morningkit calmly. "Ready?" She questioned.

Morningkit looked back at the Thunderpath. Her fur was still on end after seeing all of those monsters for the first time. She turned back to the mouth of the cave. It stood looming in front of her. She trembled slightly. It scared her. She nodded. "Ready," she said

Froststar gave the she-cat a sympathetic look, remembering her own first time past the Thunderpath, and to the Moonstone. But the slight fear and nervous energy couldn't challenge the beauty of it all. Especially once they made it to the stone. As stars began to claim the sky, Froststar lead Morningkit into the cave. "I'm going to lead you through, alright? It's kinda... Okay, it's really dark." The leader explained, placing her tail on the kit's shoulder before walking deftly through the tunnels. Sometimes patches of starlight rained from the sky, high above, and others it was pitch black. Some places the sides were so close together, Froststar questioned if she could squirm out, and others she could move as freely as she wanted. Finally the two made it to the Moonstone, and the she-cat looked at Morningkit, a soft smile on her face. "I'm not a medicine cat, so I don't know what's suppose to happen, but touch your nose to the rock, and, um... Good luck." She wished she could give some words of advice, but Froststar knew this was a journey Morningkit had to make on her own.

Morningkit followed Froststar through the tunnels, always right behind her. She blinked as the bright light of the moonstone came into view. She padded up to it and laid down. Doing as Froststar had told her, she stretched forward and touched her nose to the cold stone. She closed her eyes and, for a moment, nothing happened. Then, she was blinking her eyes open in a forest.

A forest? lul. StarClan dun gone goofed.
The area changed to a place seeming quite similar to RiverClan. It was nighttime, but there failed to be a single light in the sky, yet moonlight somehow illuminated the entire clearing. There was a rolling fog and an eerie look about the place, yet it was warm here, comforting.
A rustle would be heard. Not a moment later, a she-cat stepped out to greet Morningkit. Her pelt was jet-black, stars seeming to hang in her fur. She was like her own, small silverpelt. The illusion was only disrupted by her green gaze, bright and natural. Several cats stepped out after her, some possibly familiar, but most not.
"Welcome, Morningkit." The she-cat spoke, her voice unified with those all around her, "I am Mintberry, an ancient medicine cat of RiverClan." She blinked down at the kit, "Are you ready for your ceremony?"

(StarClan is always described as a forest except for during Firestar's leadership ceremony)

Morningkit looked at all the cats around her, awed. She looked at the black she-cat as she spoke. "Yes!" Morningkit answered

StarClan has always been seen in either ThunderClan's point of view, ... in foresty clans, right? D; Nyeh, whatever. >:C It goes here how Eb says it does. I don't imagine RiverClan spending their whole life in the reeds and then wanting to live their after live in a crowded forest.

The black she-cat nodded. She stood back and sat down, straightening up, the words ceremonial now. "And is it your wish to enter the mysteries of StarClan as RiverClan's medicine cat?"

"It is," Morningkit meowed.

Mintberry nodded and stood, moving to address the cats of those around her. "Fellow warriors of StarClan, I present you with this apprentice. She has chosen the path of a medicine cat. Grant her your wisdom and insight so that she may understand your ways and heal her Clan in accordance with your will." She turned back to face the future apprentice, "Morningkit, from this day on until you have received your true name as a medicine cat, you will be known as Morningpaw."
The black she-cat bent over and touched noses with the newly named Morningpaw as the StarClan cats around her cheered.

"Your training will start in a few days time. Now go home and rest up." Mintberry said quietly in Morningpaw's ear.
