Nettlekit and Vixenkit's Apprentice Ceremony

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Jaggedrock for a clan meeting!" Both of these kits were siblings, ready to be apprenticed together. Their other sibling would be apprenticed quite soon, as they were all of age at this point. At least they were becoming apprentices after the battle, perhaps they could finally relax a bit.

Nettlekit, the oldest of the litter, strode into the clearing. He was a handsome ginger tom with leaf green eyes. Trailing behind him was his sister, Vixenkit.

Vixenkit's pretty blue eye glanced around the camp nervously. She was a gorgeous ginger tabby as well, but much leaner than her brother with a more stocky build.

Both of the kits were extremely eager to get apprenticed.

"Nettlekit, step forward." He watched as the first kit stepped forward. A tom. "You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. Nettlekit, from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Nettlepaw. Scorchstar will be your mentor. I know he will be more than capable in passing down what he has learned to you." Scorchstar was a good mentor as any to mentor the new apprentice. He was wise and he knew he'd be an excellent choice.

"Vixenkit, step forward." His ice blue gaze was set on the second sibling. "You have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. Vixenkit, from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Vixenpaw. I will be your mentor. I will do my best to pass down all I know unto you." With this said he leaped down, touching his nose to the ginger molly's. "Training will be tomorrow at dawn."

Nettlepaw looked around the camp. Wow! The leader would be his mentor. This would be an amazing bragging right to the other apprentices. The tom was thrilled to begin training.

Vixenpaw was shocked. The Deputy as her mentor? And the Leader is her brother's? They must really see a lot in them. The young she-cat touched noses to her new mentors and nodded at his orders of training in the morning.

Scorchstar blinked fondly down at his new apprentice. He had already discussed with Froststone before the ceremony his desire to train the young tom. Every single time he looked at Nettlepaw, he could see someone else. He felt as though he owed it to the newly appointed apprentice for some reason.

Standing from where he stood beside the leader's den, he then approached Nettlepaw and lowered his head to touch his new apprentice's nose with his own. Hopefully he wouldn't lose this one as well. "I look forward to seeing what you're capable of, Nettlepaw."
