Cricketkit's Ceremony (Thrushwing&Crystalpelt)

[darkstar]

Darkstar jumped on top of the Green Rock and looked down on her camp. Then she let out a yowl, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather hear beneath the Grenn Rock for a Clan meeting. It is time to have Cricketkit become an apprentice!" Then, she sat on top of the rock, waiting for her Clan to join her.

[Thrushwing]

Cricketkit, as excited as a mouse who had just found an especially tasty seed, speeded out of the nursury. "Won't be sleeping in here anymore!" He smiled. "I'm finally going to be an apprentice!" He yawned once, and scurried over to sit below Green Rock.

Nightwhisker jerked awake as she heard the familiar call: "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather hear beneath the Green Rock for a Clan meeting. It is time to have Cricketkit become an apprentice!" She stood up and stretched, before padding out to the clearing and sitting facing the green rock. "Congratulations!" She mewed to Cricketkit. Nightwhisker sat down and fluffed up her glossy black fur to keep warm.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather hear beneath the Green Rock for a Clan meeting. It is time to have Cricketkit become an apprentice!" Darkstar's words rang out loud and Diamondclaw padded casually towards the place where her leader stood - the Green Rock. I hope that Cricketkit will be my apprentice, the black warrior prayed silently, hoping that the energetic kitten was about to be mentored by herself. "Hi there, Cricketkit! Congratulations on your apprenticeship!" she meowed when she saw the kitten smiling. Then, the ebony-pelted tabby she-cat turned to Nightwhisker and gave a warm greeting, "Nice to meet you, Nightwhisker, what's up? How's your life?"

[darkstar]

Darkstar waited patiently and looked down on the kit. Cricketkit will have a wonderful mentor, and he will serve his Clan faithfully as a warrior. Cold air rushed throught the ShadowClan camp as more cats began to assemble and look up at Darkstar. She noticed that Diamondclaw was talking to Nightwhisker. She must be so excited, thought Darkstar. She will have her hands full with Cricketkit as her apprentice. He has so much energy! Then she started the meeting, "We are gathered here beneath the Green Rock to acknowledge a new apprentice, one of my favorite ceremonies. By naming apprentices, we show that [your Clan] will survive and remain strong, and that ShadowClan will prosper. My little Cricketkit, from now on you will be known as the great apprentice Cricketpaw. Diamondclaw, you are ready for an apprentice, you will be young Cricketpaw's mentor. Lovely Diamondclaw, you have known quickness of mouth and fighting and always one step ahead of your opponent, and I expect you to pass on all your skills to Cricketpaw, so that he may be a loyal warrior to ShadowClan when he has learned everything and accomplished everything you have taught him. I see a great warrior in our future." Then, Darkstar waited for the new apprentice, Cricketkit, and new mentor, Diamondclaw, to touch their noses together as a sign of connection as mentor and apprentice.

"Lovely Diamondclaw, you have known quickness of mouth and fighting and always one step ahead of your opponent, and I expect you to pass on all your skills to Cricketpaw, so that he may be a loyal warrior to ShadowClan when he has learned everything and accomplished everything you have taught him." Diamondclaw felt so proud when Darkstar called her name and even called her 'lovely'. That was so nice of her to say that I am always one step ahead from my opponent, the black warrior didn't really expect Darkstar to grant her wish to be a mentor. "Thank you, Darkstar," she murmured, hoping that the ShadowClan leader had heard her. She walked towards Cricketkit and lowered her head to touch nose with her new apprentice.

[[That was awesome, Darkstar! ]]

[silverclaw]

"Nice to meet you too!" Replied Nightwhisker when Diamondclaw greeted her. She was cut short as Darkstar started talking, and she turned to face him, her whiskers twitching with excitement.

**Sorry, couldn't think of anything else!**

[Crystalpelt]

After touching noses with her apprentice, Cricketkit, the black ShadowClan warrior padded over to join her friend, Nightwhisker. "How about this? Let's go out hunting together with my new apprentice, Cricketkit? I'm sure you'll learn to like him. He's such a cheerful little kitten!" she meowed casually, sitting down beside the other black she-cat and waited for Darkstar to dismiss the meeting.

[[Actually, my posts are short too... ]]

[silverclaw]

"That would be great!" Replied Nightwhisker," Yes, he seems like he'll be a great apprentice for you!" The sleek black she-cat glanced over at Cricketkit and could see the excitement in his eyes. She turned back to face her leader, waiting for her to dismiss them.

[Thrushwing]

Cricketkit heard Darkstar say his name, and also ‘great apprentice’. The kit, now apprentice, felt flabbergasted. He was a great apprentice?! He also heard that Diamondclaw would be his mentor. He had always liked Diamondclaw, she was kind and sweet. He walked up, almost tripping over his paws, and touched noses with his new mentor.

[Crystalpelt]

[[So, who wants to start a new post somewhere in the ShadowClan territory? Diamondclaw's gonna take Cricketpaw out for training and Nightwhisker is coming too! But, I think we should wait for Darkstar to say something first. ;D]]

EDIT::
Thanks, Silverclaw!
Shall this thread be ended?

[silverclaw]

**I'll start it since I have nothing better to do!**

Edit: I started it in ShadowClan territory along the bushes!
