| A chilly northern breeze ruffled the decaying moorland, dredges of a thick chill incessantly lingering within the dying light of the late evening sky. The faint rivulets of silvery light that bled freely from the untouched moon above felt nearly alien, partly unwelcomed after such a pronounced absence within the night sky. Pulling herself atop the frost-dusted surface of the Tallrock, Brindlestar was captivated by the plethora of emotions that had befallen her throughout this peculiar time. It was supposed to be a time for celebration, and yet it was all she could do to even merely pull her thoughts away the terrible events that had recently transpired. Shoulders shifting with the influence of a barely detectable sigh, the pale-furred molly's tail gave a restless twitch as her voice rose in the familiar summons, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here beneath the Tallrock!" ______________________________________ "born of ichor & nectar; excellence already found at fingertips." resident chewer of bones & mad woman enthusiast | former administrator |

| Barleytuft had been lingering near Brindlestar's den all day, though he really had tried to keep himself busy. The young warrior was listening hopefully for for his leader to call together the Clan. He had recently assessed his apprentice, Brookpaw, and he was certain she was ready to received her warrior name. Barleytuft had told his leader as much, beaming about the russet apprentice's brave spirit and deep loyalty to her Clan. Brookpaw had shown wonderful tracking ability, great speed, and a knack for teamwork; she'd be an excellent hunting patrol leader some day. Brindlestar had agreed it was time, and all Barleytuft could do was wait.
Finally, after what seemed like ages, Barleytuft spotted the flash of pale fur that was Brindlestar, and he was first to gather, excitedly and anxiously awaiting when Brookpaw would arrive. He hadn't told her, but he had hinted and tiptoed around the subject all day. She was smart; she probably realized what was happening. ______________________________________ Clovertwist the Loner WindClan ex-Warrior { #5F9EA0 } | Barleytuft of StarClan WindClan Warrior { #DA8F6F } | Marmalade the Kittypet ex-SkyClan Medicine Cat { #C1550A } | Dacedream of StarClan ThunderClan Warrior { #808000 } | Summer the Loner gay drifter { #E86375 } |

| At the leader's call, Brookpaw's attention was immediately aroused. Since her moonstone journey, any conversation with the Starclan cat had quickly filtered through her mind as something she did not think even deserved a second thought. Yet the idea of her becoming a warrior was thrilling and she had become enamored with the concept more so than before. Naturally, she joined the gathering cats without hesitation and settled down next to tom who had mentored her all these moons. With her feathery tail wrapping over delicate paws, her hazel-green gaze fixated on Brindlestar, eagerly awaiting the great leader to name her as one of the clan's warriors. ______________________________________

| The sea of stiffening grasses that unfolded endlessly upon the moorland before them twisted and curled under the strain of the continuously brisk gales. The chill arose from both the stone beneath Brindlestar's paws and descended from the darkening evening sky. Shifting her weight atop the smooth, practically frigid stone, the pale molly blinked as cats gradually began to gather. Tried as she might, there was no stifling the rigid unease that flowed steadily within the confines of her veins. "We gather here today to bestow the title of Warrior upon one of our Apprentices."She eventually mewed, tilting her scarred features skyward, gaze casted out towards the faint sparks of starlight that were gleaming among the richly colored night sky. "She has proven himself worthy to climb the ranks of WindClan and receive her Warrior name." Gaze slowly drifting back towards the young molly who lingered below the looming outline of the stone, the molly's raspy voice was slow and methodical as she finally voiced the highly anticipated command.

| Tradition was tradition. Brookpaw knew what would come next. As Windclan had decided, much like all the other clans, they would follow the same ways and same words with steps under Starclan, there was no way to deviate from that. She stepped forward obediently, briefly pondering over this face. It was time for her to receive her name. The apprentice waited expectantly for Brindlestar to continue For her to be declared as a warrior. ______________________________________

| "I, Brindlestar, Leader of WindClan, call upon my Warrior ancestors to look down upon this Apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble Code, and I commend her to you as a Warrior in return." There was a persistent ache within Brindlestar, one that resonated within her bones and belly. Perhaps it was the unyielding guilt, which stung with the heat of scorching embers, that resided alongside the memories of Thornleap, Rockjaw, and Darkpaw. Perhaps it was nothing more than a faulty reaction of flesh, but who would know? These days were strange, the nights even more so. Quashing whatever stubborn remnants of unease remained, the pale-furred molly redirected her attention to the younger molly who stood before her. "Brookpaw, do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" ______________________________________ "born of ichor & nectar; excellence already found at fingertips." resident chewer of bones & mad woman enthusiast | former administrator |

| "I do." The she-cat didn't notice any hesitation in the leader. Her sights were set on the future. While she was going to miss Finchpaw, she was sure he couldn't be far behind. A soft smirk flickered across her features as she momentarily considered how her drive brought her to this moment faster than Finchpaw. But her gaze was unwavering as she awaited the official words from their leader. Teasing her counterpart could wait until later. ______________________________________

| "Then by the powers of StarClan, I shall grant you your Warrior name." Casting her sharp gaze back out towards the darkening sky, which bled with the richest colors that many saw during this lifetime, the glimmers of starlight seemed to look down upon the proceedings in response. Hopefully their ancestors were listening to the proceedings of such a proud moment, they had been absent enough as of late- it was the least they could do in honor of such sacred traditions. "Brookpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Brookclover. StarClan honors your forthright and dignified nature, and we welcome you as a full Warrior of WindClan." Feathered tail brushing softly against the well-worn stone she stood upon, Brindlestar was quick to abandon her position atop the Tallrock and instead join the mingling celebration that bunched together around the newly-named Brookclover. ______________________________________ "born of ichor & nectar; excellence already found at fingertips." resident chewer of bones & mad woman enthusiast | former administrator |

| A grin was plastered to Finchpaw's face as Brookclover received her warrior name. The apprentice didn't even mind that his counterpart had been given her name before he did, he was simply happy to watch her succeed. With a laugh, the orange tabby realized that he'd be subject to her teasing until the end of time because of this very moment. Don't forget I was made a warrior before you Finchpaw. He could almost hear her joking with him now, the very thought made his heart glow. "Brookclover! Brookclover! Brookclover!" The apprentice joined in with the rest of his clanmates, shouting Brookclover's name into the sky. And great Starclan it was beautiful. I'm not far behind... Finchpaw told himself, watching the russet furred warrior, a new unknown feeling sparking in his heart, making his paws tingle. Wait for me... ______________________________________ |

| Barleytuft listened attentively, his attention divided between focusing on his leader and the familiar words and trying to see his apprentice's expression as the ceremony progressed. Brindlestar spoke and the sandy tom's pelt prickled with the same excitement he felt during his own ceremony, but he felt his chest bursting with a different kind of pride. It had been one thing to work hard to become a warrior himself and another thing entirely to help another cat work hard for it.
His tail bushed out a little when Brookpaw stepped forward, and he thought his heart my burst with joy as his paws worked the ground. The russet she-cat had always been ambitious and determined, working tirelessly to earn her name. And then it was given: Brookclover. Beside him his former apprentice's good friend Finchpaw cheered, and Barleytuft joined in whole-heartedly, "Brookclover! Brookclover!" ______________________________________ Clovertwist the Loner WindClan ex-Warrior { #5F9EA0 } | Barleytuft of StarClan WindClan Warrior { #DA8F6F } | Marmalade the Kittypet ex-SkyClan Medicine Cat { #C1550A } | Dacedream of StarClan ThunderClan Warrior { #808000 } | Summer the Loner gay drifter { #E86375 } |
