Rippedpaw's Warrior Ceremony

"Let all cats old enough to climb a tree gather here for a clan meeting!" Crowstar called out.

Hollypaw padded out of the apprentice's den,expecting another ceramony.Better make it quick!She let out a small huff as she settled down ,staring up at the leader with expectant blue eyes.

Rippedpaw blinked against the sunlight as he padded out of the apprentice's den at the leader's call. Either he was going to address the Shadowclan incident or this was going to be a ceremony. Plenty of cats were ready to take the next step up in the clan. Regardless, he sat down and patiently wrapped his tail over his paws. Glancing around to look at his fellow clanmates, a smile crossed his features. Being a part of Skyclan made him proud to have a clan he could call home, unlike the shame he had felt as a Windclan cat. As others gathered, he fixed his eyes on Crowstar, waiting for the leader to speak.

Webtail padded out of the warrior's den, tail flicking in irritation at the incident that had occurred. He swept his tail over a thinner layer of snow and sat in the clear area. He was disappointed in his former clan, but, after what had been going on lately on the path Rippedpaw was attacked on, he wasn't surprised. Curling his tail around his paws, he looking up at his leader.

Breezewhisker watched with resentment in his yellow eyes as Rippedpaw strolled out of the apprentice den. He wanted to rip the smug look off the tom's face. Rippedpaw didn't belong here, and that was the truth of it. It was the cowardly tom who had made Crowstar into a fool, who had made him neglect his real family even more. The tom didn't deserve to be in SkyClan. It was his fault that Antdrop had died! The gray tabby tom was content for now to watch with a snarl on his face and a growl in his throat as the unworthy kit came up to get his warrior name.

Pansypaw followed Rippedpaw out of the apprentice's den, and sat down near the tom. Gazing over at him, she could tell that he had no idea what was about to happen. Smiling to herself, she turned back around and looked up at Crowstar.

"Rippedpaw please come forward." Crowstar said.

The black and white apprentice widened his eyes in shock. Is this finally my ceremony? Hesitently, he stepped forward, eyes still fixed on Crowstar as he waited for what would happen next.

Breezewhisker glared as the tom stepped up, looking adoringly at his father. The tom didn't deserve this, and he ought to know it, too. But he didn't want to suffer Antdrop's fate. So he would wait quietly until the right moment for revenge. His tail tip flicked angrily, but he was the very picture of a calm warrior.

Pansypaw purred heartily as Rippedpaw stepped forward. A beaming smile on her face, her ears perked curiously as she tried to guess what his name would be. Rippedclaw? No, maybe Rippedheart? How about Rippedstrike? Her speculations continued as the ceremony commenced.

Hollypaw let out a purr of delight as he stepped forward.Her eyes glowed proud that this was her friend's ceramony.Rippedpaw deserved this.

"I, Crowstar, Leader of Skyclan, 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. Rippedpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" Crowstar asked

ooc: Name?

Rippedpaw's voice was loud and clear as he said, "I do." His head swam excitedly at the prospect if being able to serve Skyclan as a warrior. He knew in that moment there were cats who would be unhappy with this, but he didn't care.

Occ: Rippedsky

His Clan.... WindClan was the tom's Clan, not here! Breezewhisker's claws dug into the ground. All of Breezewhisker's ceremonies had been done by Vixenheart. And yet Crowstar had the time for Rippedpaw.... He always had time for Rippedpaw.

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I grant you your warrior name. Rippedpaw, from now on you will be known as Rippedsky, giving you the name sky for saving Pansypaw when you could have left her to die. We welcome you as a full warrior of Skyclan," Crowstar jumped down to greet his new warrior.
