Flickerkit's Apprentice Ceremony

Fur fluffed up against the strong moor winds that passed over Windclan's camp, Smallbean looked over his clanmates, an anxious furrow in his brow. It had been a while since he'd hesitated so much to begin a ceremony, somrthing he thought he'd long gotten over, only to sit on the Tallrock for moments before calling out. It had something to do with how scatter-brained he'd been recently, he supposed, blaming it on stress and worry. And the thing with Batsong....

Clearing his throat, he made the step, calling out to the clan to begin the anticipated ceremony. "All cats old enough to run the moors gather around the Tallrock for a clan meeting!" Another kit becoming a warrior. It provided the tom some reassurance, some temporary solution to a worry he couldn't discern.

Sootpaw joined the crowd at the call of the deputy. Was another kit becoming apprentice? His eyes shone as he craned his neck to try and get a peek of the nursery.

Pretending to be composed and stoic was getting harder by the second. Flickerkit was practically buzzing with nerves at this point, nearly leaping into the air when Smallbean called for a meeting. This was her ceremony, wasn’t it— after moons and moons of longing, it was finally Flickerkit’s turn to step out of the nursery and into the apprentice den. Now, she thought with a smile, instead of watching the patrols go by, she will be in them.

The kit came into sight, appearing from the nursery with visible excitement. Smallbean called her forward, allowing the ceremony to begin. "Flickerkit, you have now reached the age of six moons and are ready to become an apprentice. From now until you become a warrior, you will be known as Flickerpaw. Your mentor will be Eagleflight... Er, Eaglyfly. Sorry." Smallbean sweat beneath his fur, brows furrowing with frustration and awkwardness. It was strange, to have a name slip his mind like that - not to mention, embarrassing. Letting his eyes fall closed, he let it go, jumping down from the rock to congratulate Flickerpaw on her new name.

Eagelfly sat at the base of the rock. His eyes widened as he was called? Eagleflight?? he wondered to himself. Hmm he really liked that name maybe in another life he would have been called that.

He went to his new apprentice. It had not been long since he himself was an apprentice... did smallbean thing he was ready? He wanted to do as good a job as possible to Flickerpaw.

"Hey congrats! I cant wait to train with you. Lets get you set up in the new apprentice den for now and then I can take you to go do some hunting."
