Twistedpaw's and Shadepaw's Ceremony

Raccoonstar jumped to the top of tall rock as happy as could be. Today she was naming two warriors. She paused for a moment then let out a call, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath tall rock for a clan meeting!"

Twistedpaw came limping from the den; a silly grin on his face. Finally; he was going to become an warrior. It had been to long; he was well over the age and the apprentice den was getting a bit to crowded for his taste. He glanced toward the sky; wondering if Stormeye was watching him...Hopefully the young apprentice had made his father proud; becoming a warrior with his twisted paw...

Seeing Twistedpaw, a blue she-cat rushed past him, flicking him with her tail. Feeling the nice moor wind blow on her, she purred. Lavenderpaw, eyes shining, knew that this was it - Twistedpaw and Shadepaw were becoming warriors! Feeling happy for both of them, especially Twistedpaw, the apprentice sat down next to him, mewing, "This is it - you're finally a warrior! Oh, nervous or something?" Her tail kept moving back and forth, looking like a swirl, but it was an illusion. The apprentice stuck her tongue out for a heartbeat before rubbing her muzzle on Twistedpaw's. She hoped he got the sign, she really liked him - or that's what she thought.

Snowkit, coming out, was covered in ashes again. Her blind green eye gave it away - she thought a pile of ashes was a rabbit again. Sighing, the kit sat down, resigning on trying to be like everyone else. Seeing that it was a ceremony, she saw Lavenderpaw and Twistedpaw. Noticing Twistedpaw's... twisted paw, she wondered how he seemed to fit in with everyone else. Wait, he's the leader and former leader's son, never mind. Though, she hopes to speak with him later - if he was willing to.

Shadepaw smiled with pride. It is definitely about time, she thought. Her face still may have scared some of the youngest kits as she walked to the meeting. She noticed Lavenderpaw talking with Twistedpaw. Oh well, she thought, I guess Twistedpaw likes her instead. She had a secret, nobody else knew it and she tried hiding it as well as she could. Shadepaw loved Twistedpaw. But he likes her, and she certainly loves him, she thought again.

OoC: Shadepaw, stop thinking too much...

Twistedpaw blinked when he felt Lavanderpaw sit next to him; blushing when she talked and nuzzled him. "Hehe; yea. I never thought I would be getting this far with my twisted paw; at least I am making my Clan proud." By StarClan...Lavanderpaw liked him, didn't she? He figured it would of been a one-sided love; a simple twisted paw cat loving the nicest cat he could care for, all while she found herself not willing to be with the young, deformed cat; mostly after that fight during the fire...but that wasn't the case was it? He was going to get her when they warrior, and he was now getting his warrior name. "Hopefully you will be joining me in the warrior den soon,"  he whispered, gently shoving her with his shoulder as he grinned.

Occ: Gosh; Twisted has such swag; all the girls want him~ Ivy, Lavander, Shade, Silk, whoknowwhoelse.

Raccoonstar looked down on her clan then continued on with what she was saying, "Today we are gathered here to make two apprentices warriors, they have done many things to make their clan proud." The leader directed her attention to the two apprentices. "I, Raccoonstar, leader of WindClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Twistedpaw, Shadepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do!" Shadepaw said.

OoC: Her warrior name is Shadeheart by the way

Twistedpaw grinned; his tail flickering as he stepped forward away from Lavanderpaw. He cleared his throat; his gaze meeting his mothers as he spoke two words that he knew would forever change his life. "I do."

OC: Warrior Name: Twistedfoot of course!

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior names, Shadepaw from this moment on you will be known as Shadeheart, and Twistedpaw from this moment on you will be known as Twistedfoot. Starclan honors your kindness, and willingness to serve your clan. We welcome you as full warriors of Windclan." Raccoonstar finished the ceremony, and jumped off the rock. She approached her son with happiness. "You finally did it."

Twistedpaw grinned as he got his name. Twistedfoot...He liked it. As the ceremony came to an end and his mother padded over to him, he grinned. "I did...I finally did it! I'm a warrior, now!" He knew that he would have to sit Virgil in a little bit; but he wanted to cerebrate for that happened. He took a step forward and happily nuzzled Raccoonstar. He had never thought this moment would come; he figured he would be an apprentice forever, but here he was!

Shadeheart purred with excitement. Shadeheart! It's perfect! she thought.
