Fishpaw's Warrior Ceremony

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather for a Clan meeting!" Reedstar yowled from his perch in the center of camp. It was time for another ceremony and fillerfillerfiller.

Fishpaw awoke from her sleep so abruptly that she hit her head on the roof of the den, making leaves flutter down all over her silver coat. Quickly she shook them off, and scrambled out of her den. Today was no ordinary day for Fishpaw, however, it was the day of her warrior ceremony. Sudden excitement coursed through her as she seated herself before Reedstar, but as she looked down at her coat, her heart dropped in her chest. Her fur looked as if she had been in a fight with a badger, sticking out in all angles and matted on the sides. Frantically she began licking her pelt, hoping that she was at least presentable for this momentous occasion. After a minute or so, Fishpaw inspected her coat, was mildly satisfied, and raised her head. StarClan, I'm mouse-brained.

Reedstar watched half in amusement as the apprentice raced out of her den in a flurry of leaves. He waited as she groomed herself and the Clan gathered before bringing her forward with a single word. "Fishpaw," he beckoned. "I, Reedstar, leader of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Fishpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Since it seemed like no one had really cared about Fishpaw's appearance, her confidence came trickling back into her system, and she straightened her back in response to her leader's words.

"I do."

lame post is lame

Reedstar nodded. He hadn't known a cat to ever say otherwise. "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Fishpaw, from this moment you will be known as Fishpelt. StarClan honors your energy, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan."

My posts are lamer.
