Reedstar swept his gaze through the knots of cats as the Clan gathered, searching for that pale, silvery gray-blue fur. His eyes met Heronpaw's as he emerged from the den. "Heronpaw, come forward," he said, straightening up on his perch. "You've trained long and hard, and it's time for you to become a warrior." He let his words sink in before reciting the old script that he'd repeated what felt like a hundred times before. "I, Reedstar, leader of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Heronpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
