Maplepaw, Redpaw, Silverpaw, Mistpaw, Cloudpaw, Bramblepaw, Comorantpaw, Soulpaw, and Scorchpaws' Warrior Ceremony

Today was a big day. A huge chunk of the apprentices were taking their next step in their life. It was their day to become a warrior. With this large amount of cats, she was sure that if they tried, they could take back ShadowSky territory. But perhaps it wasn't the time. Some allies in different clans would be nice.

Nightstar leaped on top of the jagged rock, overlooking the clan's camp. She knew that some of the apprentices were stirring, and she couldn't blame them. On the eve of their first day as warrior, nothing was more exciting then that. A quiet purr sounded in her throat. 'Well, I shouldn't keep them waiting any longer.'

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the Jaggedrock for a clan meeting!"

Redpaw was the first once out. He sat down in front of the Jaggedrock, one of the oldest apprentices ready for warrior-ship. Puffing out his chest, he proudly raised his chin.

Without too much to talk about, both Thrushstripe and Gingerheart padded out of the warrior's den, sitting down in their usual spots to see what the announcement was about. Thrushstripe, though, seeing Redpaw standing at the base of Jaggedrock, had pretty much figured it out. It was time for some warrior ceremonies. In Gingerheart's case, she didn't particularly care too much, but it was always good to have more warriors.

Maplepaw padded out right after Soulpaw. She noticed a line begin to form with her brother, Redpaw. She padded up next to him, and sat, her fur already neatly groomed. She lifted herself up, her long fur making her seems even bigger. She fixed her gaze on the JaggedRock and waited.

~Whoah. That is a LOT of apprentices ^^~

Shadeflame padded out from the shade he was sleeping in when he heard Nightstar's yowl, and sat beneath the Jagged Rock, eyeing the line of apprentices gathered beneath the rock. Lots of apprentices becoming warriors, he thought. That'll be an excellent addition to our already strong clan. His gaze raked over the apprentices, before landing on Cormorantpaw. She was an excellent apprentice, and will be a great warrior, he thought proudly.

Lionstrike bounded out of the Warriors' Den, and skidded to a halt next to Shadeflame. "Whoah!" he muttered, staring wide-eyed at the huge group of cats. "That's a lot of apprentices becoming warriors!"

Cloudpaw sat next to the other apprentices, his eyes bright with excitement. He looked over at his soon to be former mentor, and he raised his his a bit more in pride. Finally he was going to be a warrior.

Heck yeah

Cormorantpaw took a seat next to Maplepaw. She cast a glance at Lionstrike and smiled to herself. He had been a great mentor.

With wide eyes, surprised that this day was finally here (and that there were so many apprentices being named at the same time), she sat next to Cloudpaw, her back straight and her chin held high - trying to appear as regal as possible.

Sagewhisker stepped out his den, a fierce look of pride on his face and shining in his emerald eyes.

Silverpaw padded out of the apprentices' den. She was one of the oldest apprentices, along with Redpaw, Maplepaw, and Bramblepaw. Proudly she padded over to Lionstrike and sat down. "I'm catching up with you now!" she told him happily.

Nightstar looked over the large crowd gathered, picking out the newest warriors, Nightstar started. "Maplepaw, Redpaw, Silverpaw, Mistpaw, Cloudpaw, Bramblepaw, Cormorantpaw, Soulpaw, and Scorchpaw, Please step up."

She leaped down, to face the apprentices. "I Nightstar, leader of ShadowClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn." Maplepaw, Redpaw, Silverpaw, Mistpaw, Cloudpaw, Bramblepaw, Cormorantpaw, Soulpaw, and Scorchpaw

The leader watched cats' eyes. She knew that they shone with excitement, pride, ambition, and joy. "Maplepaw, Redpaw, Silverpaw, Mistpaw, Cloudpaw, Bramblepaw, Cormorantpaw, Soulpaw, and Scorchpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do," Silverpaw promised, eyes wide. This is it! I'm finally going to become a warrior!

.

"I do." Maplepaw said, with her sophisticated, but excited voice. She was finally becoming a warrior!

"I do." Scorchpaw belted out the loudest. His amber eyes blazed with glory as he puffed out his black spiky chest and flexed his extremely long claws.
