Pantherpaw's Warrior Ceremony

Rippedsky quickly made his way up to the tallbranch. One of their apprentices had proven worthy of becoming a warrior. A smile edged its way onto his maw, but he abolished it before yowling out in a strong call to the clan, "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree gather underneath the tallbranch for a clan meeting!" The black and white warrior felt a soft shiver go down his spine due to his exposed place in the cold, but it did not bother him much. There were far more important things to focus on. Pantherpaw was going to be made a warrior. He scanned the clearing for the apprentice, waiting for a moment before beginning the ceremony.

The tortie tom left the apprentice den and approached the deputy when he called for a meeting. What was going on? A ceremony? Was this the ceremony he waited for so long? He sat down and waited, knowing that his questions would be soon answered.

OOC: Thank you, Ripped!

"Pantherpaw, please come forward." He meowed, letting his voice ring throughout the clearing. Once the tom padded towards the front of those gathered, Rippedsky continued, "I, Rippedsky, deputy of Skyclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this cat. He has trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn." Rippedsky began, glancing up to silverpelt as he spoke the ancient words, "Pantherpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" His ear flicked as he looked at the apprentice, the question hanging heavily in the air.

”I do.” He mewed, not doubt or shaking in his serious and emotionless voice. Finally... this was his day to become a warrior.

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Pantherpaw, from this day forward, you will be known as Panterblaze. Starclan honors your dedication, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Skyclan." Rippedsky meowed finally, officially giving the tom his full warrior name. As soon as it was done, he leaped down to join the crowd and congratulate the new warrior. His voice rang as loud as the rest as chants rose up to the sky.
