Warrior and Apprentice Ceremony

Brookstar leaped onto the HighStone, her muscles rippling under the moonlight. "Today, we have an apprentice becoming a warrior, and a kit becoming an apprentice! Skypaw, please come up here."
The white apprentice, now looking more like a warrior, easily leaped onto the large boulder.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look upon this young cat. He has trained in the ways of a warrior, and is ready to become one. Skypaw, do you promise to defend and uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"
His reply was solemn, with no hesitation. "I do."
"Then from now on, you will be called Skyblaze. FalconClan honors your bravery and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FalconClan," Brookstar finished, and put her muzzle on Skyblaze's head while he licked her shoulder. She straightened up, and looked down at the newly made warrior. "Tonight you will hold silent vigil."
She then turned to the kit, looking excited at the prospect of becoming an apprentice. "Stormkit, will you come up here?"
Stormkit scrambled up the HighStone, trying not to slip. "Stormkit, though your siblings are still kits, you are older then them, and have reached your sixth moon. Do you promise to train in the ways of the warrior code, and do as your mentor tells you?"
"I do."
"Then from now on you will be called Stormpaw. Flarestorm, you are wise, caring, but fierce in battle. You will mentor Stormpaw until he is ready to become a warrior of FalconClan." Brookstar watched Stormpaw jump down and sit next to his mentor, wriggling in excitement, then began to cheer with her clan.
"Skyblaze! Stormpaw! Skyblaze! Stormpaw!"

More New Cats and Patrols

Brookstar stood proudly on the HighStone, looking down at her clan. "We have MANY new cats joining us today! First of all, I would like to welcome Goldenshine, Flarestorm, Frostpelt, and Stormtalon! Do you all promise to defend and uphold the warrior code and your clan, even at the cost of your life?'
"I do," they meowed firmly.
"Then I confirm your warrior names and I make you full warriors of FalconClan." Brookstar then turned to the new apprentices. "Stonepaw and Streampaw! Welcome to FalconClan. Do you promise to train as warriors of FalconClan, and do as your mentors tell you?"
"I do." The young cats' voices held no hesitation whatsoever.
"Then Stormtalon, though you are new you are determined and loyal. You will mentor Stonepaw. Berylmist, you have shown your intelligence, kindness, and loyalty many times over, especially in the badger attack. You deserve an apprentice, and you will mentor Streampaw."
The mentors and apprentices touched noses, and Brookstar continued on.
"We also have Snowkit joining us today." Brookstar purred down at the white she-cat. "She will join Stormkit, Cherrykit, Briskkit, and Mousekit in the nursery with Poppyleaf as her foster mother." The silver leader nodded at the only queen in the nursery.
Brookstar waited until the cheering was over, then spoke again, this time in a more businesslike manner. "I would like for Nightclaw to lead a border patrol. I recommend the IceClan border, as you never know what they are up to. Also, Talonstrike, would you lead a hunting patrol? Each of you will take three to five other cats with you. Thank you. Meeting dismissed." She spoke the last words curtly, and then turned around swiftly and padded silently into her den.

New Cats, Kits Born

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!"

Check out our History!

Hey guys! Stormy here. So I've made a history of FalconClan site called "The Feathers of a Falcon", and it'd be really cool if you'd check it out! It's all about how the creation of FalconClan began, and about the first leader of FalconClan (Eaglestar), and why FalconClan wasn't named after their first leader like most clans are. But, sorry, its in the end so I'll hurry, 'kay? Anyway, here's the web link:

Okay! So like, check it out and enjoy!

Maple Wood

The Maple Wood is the second smallest Wood of the Forest, and borders both the Hawthorn and Aspen Woods. The two dominant types of trees here are maple and mountainash, however it is not named the Maple Wood because if it. Mapleflight, a young and beautiful medicine cat was killed in this wood by an enemy clan while protecting a litter of kits that had strayed off, and the Wood was named after her in honor. It is one of the more beautiful parts of the forest, but beware of the cliff that leads to sheer drop off the mountain at the eastern border. It is well-hidden with shrubbery, vines, and trees. Prey here mostly consists of mice, birds, and squirrels.

Hawthorn Wood

The Hawthorn Wood borders the Ash and Maple Wood, and is directly across the Aspen wood. It is the largest Wood of the four main sections of the forest. It is unknown why it is named the Hawthorn Wood, as not many of the trees here are hawthorns. Perhaps the serviceberry trees that prosper in this Wood was mistaken for a hawthorn because they both have fragrant, beautiful snowy white flowers in the spring. Many birds are attracted to this Wood, and a stream runs through the middle of this Wood. Almost every type of freshkill can be found here.
