Clan Meeting

[§Wildheart§]

Wildstar yawned inside her cozy den. She jumped down the ledges onto the sandy floor and yawned again. She had been out hunting for a long time yesterday, and hadn't gotton mch sleep last night because of an owl that had been around; she had been one of the guards of the nursery.
She exited the den and blinked her eyes at the sudden light. She stretched in the sunlight and climbed up the stone onto the highest ledge and stretched again.
"May all cats old enough to catch their own prey come beneath the Step Ledge for a clan meeting!" she called down into the clearing.

[♫Swiftpath♫]

Shadefall padded out of the warriors den toward the Highledge.
What could Wildstar have to say? she thought.
Shadefall sat down in her 'special spot' to where she could just see Wildstar and, if there was and apprentice or kit, she could see them too.

[§Wildheart§]

Hazysmoke had finished licking Lavakit clean, since she always got dirty for some reason, and turned to Endkit, but, as always, his pelt was slicked clean.
She turned away and hustled them out into the clearing. Wildstar and a few cats were already waiting.

[Dreamwing]

Dreamwing and Starsoul marched out of the Medicine Cat Den together, but did not speak to each other. They barely ever did.
Starsoul stalked over to sit with Shadefall, and Dreamwing trotted over to sit next to the Step Ledge.

[Sorrelpaw]

Sorrelpaw padded out of the apprentice's den in her usual wobbly gait, looking up at Wildstar from the corner of her eye, largely disinterested. Once at a corner isolated from other EmberClan cats but close enough that she could see the leader clearly, the dilute brindled apprentice sat down, legs splayed in front of her and her large belly spread about atop them, panting slightly.

[§Wildheart§]

Wildstar looked around the clearing. Most everyone was here. "Lavakit! Endkit!" The two kits had to stop from running over, and instead they took a fast walk to the edge of the Step Ledge. "This is a proud day for EmberClan, for by naming apprentices we show that EmberClan will survive and remain strong as fire." Wildstar took a pause and then stared down at the kits with her unmatching fierce eyes. Endkit met them daringly, but Lavakit couldn't stop squirming. "Lavakit. From now on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Lavapaw."
Lavapaw's eyes grew wide with excitement, and she looked ready to run to Four Stones and back.
"Shadefall, you are ready for an apprentice for Redhawk taught you well. You will be Lavapaw's mentor. I know you will pass on your courage and diligence to Lavapaw, and teach her the skills that will make her a bold warrior of EmberClan."
Lavapaw sprang up and ran over to Shadefall, shaking as she pressed her nose to her new mentors'.
Wildstar met Endkit's eyes, and she shook out his pelt as Endkit waited, a little anxiously, for her to begin speaking again.
"Endkit, from now until the day you recieve your warrior name, you will be known as Endpaw."
Endpaw took a deep breath and waited.
"I will mentor Endpaw, and will teach him to become a bold warrior of EmberClan."
Wildstar ignored a few outbreaks, and jumped down to her new apprentice. She leaned down and touched his cold black nose.
Wildstar raised her head again, to see that Endkit's eyes were shining in the coming of sunhigh.
"That is all." she spoke.


"LAVAPAW! ENDPAW! LAVAPAW! ENDPAW!" Breezepaw shouted, despite a couple of glares from her mentor, Scarheart. She had been alone in the apprentice's den for a long time.

[Sandwhisker]

(haven't made this charrie yet, but i will!)

Numbtooth raised his head. Two young cats were becoming apprentices. New warriors.
He walked out of the elder's den to watch. A young white kit with red streaks and a dark kit were recieving their names. He purred as he saw their excitement.

[♫Swiftpath♫]

I'm a mentor? Shadefall continuously thought throughout the ceremony. It went by so fast, she shook her head to regain her thought.
She turned her head over to the newly named Lavapaw.
"We will start training tomorrow." Shadefall mewed.

[Dreamwing]

"Lavapaw! Endpaw!" Dreamwing called with the rest of the clan. She remembered her first apprentice. She remembered how nervous she had been.
And then it struck her funny why Wildstar had chosen herself to become a mentor. Dreamwing remembered that Wildstar had only had one apprentice, and Dreamwing remembered that it had not been her favorite time during the clan. She had been a good mentor, but a rather unwilling one.
There must be something rather special about this kit, Dreamwing thought to herself, For her to come out of 'mentor retirement'.

[§Wildheart§]

Lavapaw nodded at Shadefall obediantly. She tried to not jump into the air with glee, but instead looked at her brother. Endpaw was looking rather suspiciously at Wildstar, as if he thought she was joking about making him her apprenice. He wasn't the only one.
Dreamwing was looking rather curious too, and a couple of the elders and the older queens and senior warriors were also staring.
Wildstar ignored them. "We'll go out soon. I'll show you the borders after I talk with Dreamwing." Endpaw nodded, since he seemed to be the only one that heard her besides Lavapaw.
With a glance back at her new mentor, Lavapaw slipped away as Shadefall turned around. She followed Wildstar and Dreamwing to behind the Step Ledge, fighting to keep out of sight with her bright white pelt. Endpaw looked curiously at her, but then he turned and began to talk with Breezepaw, who had come over to congratulate him.
"What is it?" Wildstar hissed at Dreamwing. Lavapaw had no idea why she was losing her temper.

[Sorrelpaw]

"Oh. New apprentices." Sorrelpaw unenthusiastically muttered to herself. "Endkit...Lavakit.." She chanted once, her voice higher but not at a yowling tone. "Oh, I guess that'd be 'paw'." The corpulent apprentice waddled off, not bothering to correct her mistake, giving a shrug.
