Apprentice Ceremonies

[Hawkfeather]

Finally. Two apprentices ready for training, and for their mentors. Hawkstar had thought long and hard before she made her decision. Perhaps it was a day or two late, but, well, the training of ThunderClan's apprentices was a serious matter.

The sun warmed her pelt as she padded out from her den. She let out a soft purr of contentment, her tail twitching.

Gathering herself, the tabby leader leapt on top of the Highrock, scrabbling for a good pawhold. She wasn't used to making announcements yet. In fact, today would be the first time she performed an apprentice ceremony.

"May all cats old enough to catch their prey gather beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting!" The words sounded good, coming out of her mouth. Sometimes, Hawkstar could hardly belief she was leader of ThunderClan.

But enough of her musings. She had apprentice ceremonies to perform.

[[- Lavanderkit? -]]

Lavanderkit emerged from the nursery alone, fur long pelt gleeming like a kittypet's fur after the groomers. How did she know that? Who would ever know ...
She smiled and padded right under Hawkstar, eyes smiling and long tail curled over her small white paws. She looked expectantly up at the brown tabby she-cat.
