Jaykit's Apprentice Ceremony

Leaping up onto the tallbranch, Tinylegs gave his pelt a shake, ready to conduct another apprentice ceremony. "Let all cats old enough to climb a tree gather here for a clan meeting!" the small, white and grey tom called out.

Jaykit padded out of the apprentice ceremony with a proud look on her face. Frostwing had told her that her apprentice ceremony was soon, and she just knew this was it. Her long, fluffy kit fur was groomed down nicely, a big difference from the wild, untamed mess that it usually was.

Waiting a few moments for cats to gather, he spotted Jaykit among the growing crowd and decided to begin. "We gather here today to give a kit their apprentice name," he mewed, his soft blue gaze looking down the kit. "Jaykit, please step forward," the short tom mewed, giving a curt dip of his head to the younger cat. "You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this point, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Jaypaw. Your mentor will be Cloudroar. I trust that he will teach you well and pass on all of his knowledge of the warrior code onto you," Tinylegs finished, a smile on his muzzle. After that, he leapt down from the tallbranch and concluded the ceremony as the chants for the newly named apprentice rose up into the air.

Jaypaw smiled at the short cat as he hopped from off the branch, beaming with admiration. One day she'd be up there giving cats their new name, she knew it. If she just tried hard enough, one day, she'd be able to. Scanning the crowd for the cat that she already knew, she smiled warmly whenever she found him. Touching her nose gently, she made a silent vow to do the best she could as an apprentice.
