A few kits shuffled, a few warriors uncurled from their naps, a few apprentices abandoned the bits of fresh-kill they’d been eating to join the crowd below. Until she came to stand before the Tallrock—though he hadn’t called her forward, she clearly had a hunch who this meeting was for—Larkkit’s small frame was nearly hidden by those of her older, taller Clanmates. At least she was still awake; after this, she’d have a mentor to meet and a nest to move. Unwinding his tail as he got to his feet, Raventail stepped up to the Tallrock’s edge. He stifled a shiver. ”Larkkit, step forward.”
Once she had done so, he continued with the familiar words of the ceremony, keeping his eyes on hers. ”You’ve reached the age of six moons, and it’s time for you to be apprenticed. From now until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Larkpaw.” Only then did he turn his attention outward, this time looking for Larkpaw’s mentor-to-be. Some time had passed since Petalpaw’s apprenticeship had been brutally cut short; though Raventail was certain Crowspirit hadn’t forgotten—as if forgetting something like that was possible—he hoped Crowspirit wouldn’t mind being a mentor again. ”Your mentor will be Crowspirit. May he pass everything he knows down to you.”
