Foggykit's Apprentice Ceremony

"ShadowClan! Gather beneath the shadow of the Jaggedrock!" Flintshard sat perched on the Jaggedrock, straight and proud as he waited for the Clan to gather. At this point, they were nearly out of warriors without apprentices and still so many kits in the nursery...A huff escaped him, his ear twitching as he spared a glance at the nursery to watch for the soon-to-be-apprentice. With any luck, some of the apprentices would gain their name soon and truly boaster their forces...But for now, he had to make due with the small amount of warriors they did have.

Foggykit sighed as she dragged her way to the Jaggedrock, fluffy gray fur trailing behind her. This was so boring. It felt like every minute she had to move somewhere, or attend a clan meeting, or something like that when all she wanted to do was sleep. Why did she have to do this, anyways? Taking a big, long nap seemed like a much better use of her time.

Then again, she was reaching six moons, and this may as well be her apprentice ceremony. The prospect lightened her up, and she padded towards the crowd and sat down with a slightly less tired demeanor. She looked forward at the prospect of working for her clan- as long as she didn’t actually have to work, that is.

"I've gathered you all here for an apprentice ceremony," Flintshard started, spotting Foggykit take her spot among the crowd. "Foggykit, please step forward." He took a moment to scan the gathered cats, his eyes landing on who would be the kit's mentor. While it was a shame that they only had so many warriors, Flintshard was determined to make the most of it and see to it that their large array of kits and apprentices got the proper training that they needed to boaster that number in the end. "Foggykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Foggypaw. Your mentor will be Marshcloud."

Marshcloud hopped up at the sound of his name.

Oh! An apprentice! That's so exciting! he thought.

He trotted up to the newly-named Foggypaw.

"Hey there, Foggypaw!" His head bobbed along to the quick, excited rhythm of his words. "I promise I'll do my best when training you! I really look forward to it! I know as an apprentice I got bored pretty easily, so I'll try to make it as fun as I can-- while still being helpful and and educational and all that, of course. Oh-- and congratulations, of course, on becoming an apprentice!"

The tom smiled broadly at his apprentice. He was looking forward to being a mentor.
