Brookstar gazed down at her clan, her expression proud and happy, though her eyes had not lost their cold fierceness. "Cats of FalconClan! It is a wonderful time for all- Poppyleaf's kits have been born, and there are four new cats joining! Welcome Cherrykit, Briskkit, and Mousekit, Poppyleaf's kits!" She purred as she glanced down at the kits who were bouncing around in joy. "Also welcome Crowflight and Moonblossom, warriors, and Silverpaw and Leafpaw, apprentices!"
She paused, and spotted the two cats she wanted. "Nightclaw, you are, undoubtedly, ready for an apprentice. You will mentor Silverpaw until he becomes a warrior. Crowflight, though you are new and young, I believe that you can handle an apprentice of your own. You will mentor Leafpaw until she becomes a warrior." The mentors and apprentices touched noses.
Brookstar turned to Crowflight and Moonblossom. "Do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then you are now full warriors of Falconclan."
She glanced once at her clan, then nodded as to say it was done, and leapt down from the Highstone to cheer with the others.
"Silverpaw! Leafpaw! Crowflight! Moonblossom!"
Leafpaw watched Crowflight, eager to begin her training.
ReplyDeleteBrookstar suddenly stopped behind Leafpaw, thinking to actually speak to the new clanmates for a bit. "Liking FalconClan so far, Leafpaw?" She asked, making the apprentice jump in surprise.
ReplyDeleteLeafpaw's eyes widened, and she nodded. "Yes. I like Clan life. It's fun."
ReplyDeleteBrookstar purred. "That's great! I know that Crowflight will be a great mentor, though he's young and so on. I think that he'll enjoy mentoring you, too," she added, to her own amusement as she noticed how pretty the she-cat was.
