Subject: Icekit's Apprentice Ceremony Wed 23 Feb 2022 - 22:48
Frostgaze had not done a proper apprentice ceremony in quite a while, he was glad there was new blood coming to the clan. Stars knew they needed it... many of the more senior warriors had been such for a long time, and the deputy was starting to worry that there would be some retirements happening soon. New blood was always necessary. Leaping up onto the Jaggedrock, he began to get underway. "All cats old enough to silently stalk in the shadows, gather in the shadow of Jaggedrock for a clan meeting!" Now he just had to wait for the clan to gather, including the kit that the ceremony was for.
Icekit's body tingled with excitement, right down to her paw pads. Her mother had informed her that today's ceremony was her apprentice ceremony. For once, she could not stop smiling all morning. When Frostgaze called the meeting, she hurried out of the nursery and towards the Jaggedrock. This was it. She was finally going to be an apprentice, and then a whole new world was going to be open to her.
❒ Forestkit was well aware of what today was. His den-friend was going to be apprenticed! Wait. Were they friends? Of course, they were! Well, at least he hoped they were... Anyway, young Forest couldn't be happier for the she-kit. He was sure she'd get the warrior she'd been wanting as a mentor. She had done some good things for him and probably others and she deserved to be repaid somehow.
❒ The tom-kit hurried after her and once he reached her side, sat down nearby. He looked up for a moment to look at Frostgaze before lifting a paw and giving him a small wave. He then looked over to Icekit and offered her one of his more vibrant smiles. "I-I'm sure you're gonna get Cicadashriek," he purred with a nod. He really hoped it was true though.

Deerleap headed towards the gathering crowd. her sharp ears picked up bits of the kits' conversation. Cicadashriek, huh? about time he got an apprentice. he was nearly as old as Swiftheart, and she had already fully trained an apprentice. she shrugged and settled down with her tabby tail around her paws, and gave Icekit an encouraging smile.
Snowpaw padded into camp with a vole in her jaws, barely making a sound. She dropped her catch in the fresh-kill pile and turned to face the Jaggedrock. Her whiskers twitched with excitement when she saw Frostgaze atop the rock and Deerleap and the kits below it. “An apprentice ceremony?” she mewed to no cat in particular. The last apprentice ceremony had been her own, and that was quite some time ago. She sat down next to Deerleap, trying to retain decorum but unable to keep the grin off her face.
Deerleap nodded to her friend. "Nice vole there. who do you think gets the apprentice this time? seems like Icekit is hoping to get Cicadashriek, and about time he got one too," she said as Snowpaw settled down next to her.
As the clan gathered, Frostgaze was ready to begin the ceremony... though not before giving Forestkit a small wave of his paw back in acknowledgment. "Shadowclan! I have gathered you here to witness the naming of a new apprentice. Icekit, step forward." The deputy waited for Icekit to move before he continued. "Icekit, you have reached the age of six moons and are ready to become an apprentice. From this day forward, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Icepaw. Cicadashriek will be your mentor. I trust that he will pass down his dedication and skill to you." With a quick shake of his fur, he leaped down from the rock, allowing both mentor and apprentice to get to know each other.
Icepaw puffed with pride as her apprentice name was spoken aloud. She puffed out her chest and lifted her chin. While her expression was fairly neutral aside from a slight curve of her lips into a smile, her body was absolutely abuzz with excitement. She got Cicadashriek. She got Cicadashriek as her mentor! Her hope had come true, and now she was officially an apprentice.
Her gaze moved to Forestkit and her eyes lit up with eagerness. She waited for the crowd to calm from the excitement of the naming and then she pressed her face briefly up against Forestkit's. A brief lapse in neutrality, but Icepaw figured that she was allowed one last moment of immaturity.

【Forestkit】
❒ Watching his friend's ceremony was quite thrilling. By the time Frostgaze was going to announce Icekit's mentor, Forest was at the edge of his seat—breath held as if he was witnessing an intense battle. It was a bit silly of him to act this way but he just wanted the she-kit to receive Cicadashriek as her mentor, that's all.
❒ His amber eyes lit up as Cicadashriek was indeed appointed as Icepaw's mentor. Their prayers had been answered! He let out one of his rare grins as he watched the clan congratulate Icepaw's apprenticeship. He waited patiently for his turn to do so as well.
❒ Giggling softly as the young she-cat pressed her face against his, the kit nodded at her words. "You sure did," he purred. "By the way, congratulations, Icepaw! I hope my ceremony is soon so I can join you in the apprentice's den. Save me a nest close to you, okay?" He was just messing with that request but if she did save him a nest, he'd be more than grateful. She was one of his only friends that were his age and he wanted to maintain that throughout their apprenticeship and even beyond.

Swiftheart came back from a hunting trip but had been quite unlucky returning with nothing. Hearing the end of the meeting she smiled and cheered for Icepaw.
"Icepaw!!! Icepaw!! Congratulations! she purred walking over to the newly named apprentice

Icepaw beamed and sat tall, feeling honored for the cheers given to her by the warriors. She was finally an apprentice. And it wouldn't be long until she was a warrior too, alongside Swiftheart and Deerleap. And now she's finally old enough for a Gathering! Just in time, too, as there is one just around the corner from what she's heard. All of the cats she'll meet...she was dizzy with joy.
She looked to Forestkit and smiled. "I will," she promised. His would come any day now too, and while she looked forward to meeting other apprentices, it was nice having a friendly face nearby.
Looking up at Swiftheart, she lifted her chin with a smile. "Thank you," she said to the warrior. "I look forward to participating in some patrols with you in the future."
