"We have many new cats joining us today!" Brookstar announced from the HighStone. "This is a wonderful addition to our clan! FalconClan is growing stronger!" She meowed, and the clan below her cheered. After the cats calmed down, she said, "We have Thunderstorm, our new head warrior. We also have Roselight and Whiteash joining us. Our new apprentices are Cobaltpaw, Azurepaw, and Darkpaw. Cobaltpaw, your mentor will be Talonstrike. Azurepaw, your mentor will be Thunderstorm. Darkpaw, your mentor will be Whiteash. Please welcome these cats!"
The clan cheered. "Thunderstorm! Roselight! Whiteash! Cobaltpaw! Azurepaw! Darkpaw!"
"Also, there is an apprentice who is ready to be made warrior today. Redstorm, do you believe that Sweetpaw is fully trained in the ways of a warrior and the warrior code?"
"Yes, Brookstar."
"Then Sweetpaw, come up here," Brookstar commanded. Sweetpaw, overjoyed, tried not to jump like a kit as she marched up onto the HighStone. "Sweetpaw, do you promise to uphold and defend the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then from now on, you will be known as Sweetrose. FalconClan honors your intelligence and integrity, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar put her muzzle on the top of Sweetrose's head and the newly made warrior licked the leader's shoulder.
"Sweetrose! Sweetrose!" The clan cheered.
Before leaping down to join her clan, Brookstar announced, "Meeting dismissed!"
Thunderstorm touched noses with Azurepaw, eyes shining.

Cobaltpaw smiled and touched noses with her mentor. "When are we going to start training?"
~*Cobaltpaw*~
Whiteash smiled at his apprentice. "Welcome to Falconclan, Darkpaw."
~*Whiteash*~
Azurepaw tried her best not to bounce around like she usually would. No, she couldn't do that. She was an APPRENTICE now. Not a kit. "When are we going to start hunting? And patrolling? And fighting?" She asked eagerly.
ReplyDeleteTalonstrike looked down at his apprentice, pride spreading across his features. "We'll do a little patrol at dawn tomorrow, alright? I'll show you the territory"
Darkpaw nodded non-commitally, looking up at his new mentor. He looked at his sister, excited and looking like she was ready to burst. "Thanks," he muttered awkwardly.
Thunderstorm's whiskers twitched with amusement. "Well start soon enough, Azurepaw."

Cobaltpaw smiled. "Okay, Talonstrike. Is it okay if I get some rest..?"
~*Cobaltpaw*~
Whiteash nodded, hoping he hadnt made his apprentice feel any more awkward than he did himself.
~*Whiteash*~
"Great!" Azurepaw grinned, her azure-colored eyes bright. "Can I take something from the fresh-kill pile? Or do I have to hunt myself?" She asked, glancing at Skypaw, who was taking something himself. >He truly was handsome< she thought.
ReplyDelete"Sure. Take something from the fresh-kill pile too, and take some moss from Violetgaze's den for the elders. Then you can go to your den early- we'll be up early tomorrow," Talonstrike told him. He planned to teach his apprentice to work hard and play hard, something he himself had learned a little too well.
Darkpaw looked up once again at his mentor. "Uh, when are we going to start training?" He was curious and actually wanted to know, but just didn't know how to put it. >I really have to work on my social skills,< Darkpaw noted wryly to himself.
Thunderstorm purred lightly. "Go Ahead."

Cobaltpaw blinked. "Yes Talonstrike.." She muttered softly, padding away.
~*Cobaltpaw*~
Whiteash smiled. "We will join Cobaltpaw and Talonstrike tomorrow, if they say it is alright."
~*Whiteash*~
Azurepaw brightened up. "Thanks!" She meowed, and raced over to Skypaw and the freshkill pile. Picking up a sparrow, she settled down. She looked at the snow white tom. "Hi, Skypaw!" She said, eyes gleaming.
ReplyDeleteTalonstrike looked on with a bit of guilt. Was he working his apprentice too hard? He'd leave a squirrel at his nest later on. And perhaps he could show him the Willow Stream and teach him how to fish. That would be nice. His ears pricked at Whiteash's comment. Talonstrike bounded over to the freshkill pile, calling over his shoulder to Whiteash, "Sure, we can teach them how to fish, too!" He picked up a mouse for himself and the squirrel for Cobaltpaw, then took the freshkill to the apprentices' den.
"Okay..." Darkpaw murmured agreement. "Errr, what do you want me to do now?"
Skypaw smiled. "Hi." He picked up a mouse himself and took a bite.

"What's up?" She asked, chewing on a piece of meat. "Iheardyoudidreallywellinthefoxattack," Azurepaw said really quickly, and her face flushed scarlet. >What's wrong with me? I'm not usually that nervous!< She scolded herself.
ReplyDeleteSkypaw lowered his head. "It wasn't all that good..." He looked up from his prey. "I'm sure you could've done better."
ReplyDelete-Skypaw
"No way! I haven't even had any training yet!" Azurepaw exclaimed, eyes going wide. "Anyway, how's Longwhisker? What have you been doing in training?" She asked, looking over at the other apprentice, attempting to make small talk.
ReplyDelete"Pretty good. Hunting, battle training, what a normal apprentice would do." Skypaw smiled.
ReplyDelete-Skypaw
"That's pretty cool," Azurepaw nodded, knowing she sounded a little awkward. "Maybe you and I can go hunting together sometime, when we have time!" She told him, happy that she had met someone knew.
ReplyDeleteSkypaw laughed. "Sure, but by that time you better be as good as me!" He cuffed her ear playfully.
ReplyDelete-Skypaw
"Ha! I bet I'd beat you anytime!" Azurepaw scoffed jokingly. "I'M more TALENTED," she added, holding back a purr of laughter.
ReplyDeleteSkypaw rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He grinned.

"Azurepaw laughed, a gleam of amusement in her eyes. She opened her mouth to say something when Darkpaw padded silently up to the two of them.
ReplyDelete"Azurepaw. Skypaw," he muttered a greeting to both of them, and took a squirrel from the fresh-kill pile. "I'm going to take something to the elders, okay? See you later," he mewed to Azurepaw. She nodded stiffly and turned back to Skypaw, not sure of what to say. Darkpaw had interrupted their conversation, or at least what Azurepaw called a conversation, and she felt like a complete idiot for just sitting there, not knowing what to do.
Skypaw blinked. "So, are you training today? Or can you meet me by the entrance at dawn?" He smiled.
ReplyDelete-Skypaw
Azurepaw cocked her head to one side. "Well, Thunderstorm hasn't said anything about training yet, so I guess I can go. I'll ask her," she added, looking at the handsome tom again. "I'm sure I'll be able to go."
ReplyDeleteAzurepaw grinned at her new friend, then looked back at her brother. "Sorry, Skypaw, but I have to go. Darkpaw wants me to go to him about something, I don't know what. You know how he is, all silent and everything," Azurepaw murmured. Then her head shot up again, eyes sparkling. "I'll see you soon, 'kay? Meet you at the entrance!" She smiled brightly, then turned and bounded off, tail waving behind her.
(Do u wanna meet at... forest? or willow stream?)
ReplyDeleteSkypaw sat there, stunned. He shook his head and smiled, flicking his tail to Azurepaw as she practically flew off.
