Sparrowpaw's Warrior Ceremony

Shrikestar headed for the top of the Tallrock, his heart beating with pride. Not only was another apprentice about to become a warrior, but it was one of his own kits. They were finally growing up and becoming the bedrock of WindClan. He couldn't be prouder. "All cats old enough to run the moors gather beneath the Tallrock for a clan meeting!"

Sparrowpaw emerged from her nest, tail flicking in slight annoyance. She had been resting after some chores, however, when her father called the clan together, it was best to appear. Not that she really minded anyhow, knowing what was going on was always better than being in the dark. As she weaved her way to the front so she could see properly, the apprentice knew this was one of two things, something really terribly serious, or a warrior's ceremony. She hoped it was the latter, she felt as if she had been waiting ages to finally receive her name.

Luckily, it was the latter. "Sparrowpaw, please step forward." He felt that pride as his daughter stepped forward before he continued. "Sparrowpaw, are you ready to receive your warrior name, to honor and protect this clan even at the cost of your own life?"

Sparrowpaw heard her name called by her father, and it didn't take much for her to step forward. Part of her was thankful that she had groomed herself only a little while before the meeting had begun. He asked her if she was ready. With what was possibly the loudest she'd ever had to speak in her life, Sparrowpaw mewed, "I am."

Shrikestar smiled, nodding at her answer. "Then under StarClan's watchful gaze, I give you your warrior name. From now on, you will be known as Sparrowthorn. Continue to fight for WindClan, and WindClan will in turn fight for you."

Eaglepaw did an excited dance as his sister got her warrior name.

"yay!!! Sparrowthorn" he ran over to her eyes wide and smiling. "ahhh warrior!!!" he cheered her on
