Subject: Sootkit's Apprentice Ceremony Tue 28 Jun 2022 - 11:24
Poppyshine
The time passed quickly, from the birth of Maplespring’s kits to the time they would be ready to be apprentices. Sootkit seemed most eager to join the ranks, and also seemed most ready. Poppyshine discussed it with Maplespring beforehand and now it was time for Sootkit to join his fellow cats as an apprentice.
She stepped onto the Willow Branch and looked out to her clan. “Let all cats old enough to catch their own fish gather for a Clan meeting,” she announced.
Sootkit couldn't help the excitement he felt at hearing those words. He knew it was almost time for him to become an apprentice, so he found himself bouncing out of the nursery lately at any call for a meeting, even if it wasn't for him. He knew it was only a matter of time. Bright amber eyes looked up at Poppyshine expectantly, as if he couldn't wait for the next words she was about to say.
Poppyshine met Sootkit’s gaze and gave him an inviting smile. "Sootkit,” she announced loudly, "you have reached your age of six moons and are ready to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Sootpaw.” The cats truly grow up so fast. Poppyshine could feel her own belly, which had begun to grow more noticeably round. She would have her own kits in the coming moons, and then she would be like Maplespring, watching her kits grow into apprentices and then later, warriors. It filled her with tingling excitement. She was proud of Maplespring and the kits that she had brought into RiverClan, and as such, Poppyshine wanted to keep a close eye on them. "I shall be your mentor, and I will do all I can to pass my knowledge to you.” Poppyshine stepped down from the branch and moved to Sootpaw so she could press her nose to his. “We shall train at dawn. I look forward to teaching you.” Her head lifted and she looked to Maplespring, giving her a confident smile. Poppyshine cared deeply for Maplespring’s kits, and Poppyshine would look after them with her as best she could.
Maplespring kept herself towards the back of the crowd. After all, it wasn't about her - this was about her kits. A tired look on her face showed a smile, however, as she nodded towards Poppyshine. Sootkit couldn't have been placed in any better paws to be mentored, and she trusted the deputy would give her son the best success possible.
Looking to her son, her tail swished proudly as she gave him a nod as well. "Sootpaw! Sootpaw!" She cheered, even if it seemed she had to breathe just a bit too hard to make her voice loud.
