{{ let's have a ceremony then, shall we? }}
Pinestar wobbled out of his den, pelt ragged. It stuck up in odd places, and there were clumps of moss stuck to his brown fur. His green eyes were dull but determined as he made his way through camp. He knew how he looked: thin, exhausted... crazy even. But he was going to do his duty as leader if it killed him. From the looks of his clearly visible ribs, it very well could have. He avoided the gaze of his Clanmates as he struggled up to the Highstone. "MintClan," he began in a hoarse voice. It'd been a while since he'd spoken above a whisper. After clearing his throat, he tried again. His voice was still rough, but gradually grew more confident. "MintClan. Let all of us gather beneath the Highstone for a Clan meeting. I believe we have a ceremony that is long-overdue."

|| Moonkit || Shecat || Kit ||
Moonkit is a beautiful long haired light grey shecat with a long fluffy tail, she is blind in both eyes though you wouldnt be able to tell with her striking green eyes. She was born blind and thats why her mother left her in Mintclan territory; she hates the fact that shes blind and that she gets special treatment. She wants to be a warrior when she gets older and to help protect the clan. Though she has been told multiple times that she may never be a warrior. She was found by Bearclaw and cared for by Seedflower. She's a spit fire girl, she's as stubborn as a badger and witty as a fox though she is truly a loving soul. In the dream to become an amazing warrior she is ambitious and very envious of others that have the ability to accomplish things without struggle.

{{ could you give her some more flaws, Koi? "blind" isn't really enough, since that says nothing about her personality }}

Stormpaw padded over quickly looking up at his leader his eyes instantly felt sadness creep into him, his leader was once strong and proud tom now... He looked sick and tired.

Indigopath looked at Aspenblaze and nodded, silently agreeing with the she-cat's words. She opened her mouth to reply, only to have a raspy call interrupt her. It was Pinestar yowling for a meeting, looking older than Indigopath had ever seen him. Worry pierced through her like a thorn, and she looked to Aspenblaze with an anxious look on her face.
Not fully able to hear what he was saying from her position, she leapt to her paws, looking down at her companion. "I wonder if he's going to say anything about the drought?" she thought out loud, a spark of hope igniting in her chest. Pinestar would know what to do, he always did. Still, his appearance weighed heavily on the molly's mind, bringing doubt.
___
Vervainkit was startled from the nursery entrance by a sudden call for a clan meeting. His frosty green eyes followed his leader- who looked nothing like he heard about in his mother's heroic tales- as he scrambled up the Highstone. Anxiety flooded into him- is this what he thought it was?
I'm not ready to be an apprentice! I don't want to be alone! he screamed internally, backing up out of nervousness.

Lightingpaw eagerly rushes over and looks up at the old cat. She blinked wondering how much longer Pinestar was going to remain as leader.
Sunstripes and Silverfang walk over and settle down in front of the high rock.

Blossomkit tumbled over to her brother, a wild grin on her face. "Let's go mousebrain!" she chuckled, cuffing him gently over the ear. "I sure hope this is what I think it is!" She noticed his worried look and frowned. "What is it?"
Pinestar felt a warmth flood his chest as the Clan gathered beneath him. He would miss the feeling of this unity. I wonder if this will be my last Clan meeting... The thought was bittersweet. He shook out his fur and controlled his features, hoping to look strong in the face of the Clans' troubles. "Times have been tough," he began, looking to each cat in turn. "Between the heat and lack of prey, I know you have all been very worried. From what I've been told by Raventail, hope may lie in nighttime hunting patrols. With the sun away, we can hunt for longer and perhaps the prey will even come out then as well. The stream is still far from drying up completely, so everything will be alright. I still StarClan is watching out for us, as always." He paused for a moment. "As always, our future lies with our young. Today, we celebrate that."

Blackdawn and Darkheart huddled close. Blackdawn was relieved to see their leader out with the clan, she'd been so worried about him after the crow episode. It was nice to have something good happen for once.

Vervainkit shook his head as if a fly was bothering him, feeling a shy smile. If Blossomkit was excited, then he should be too. She was coming with him, so she could protect him.
Unlike Quailkit... he thought with a sad twinge in his gut. She was following the path of a healer, not a fighter. Most of her time would be spent with herbs and star-filled dreams than with him. At least he'd still have his other sister. He followed her lead, bounding out into the clearing, but his paws still felt like stone.
"I'm fine, Blossomkit," he meowed to her, though his voice was laced with worry. Though he wouldn't be entirely alone, apprenticeship still scared him. He hoped he would get a nice mentor, at least. He followed up his reply with a grin, hoping she wouldn't pry.
(I feel so weird playing a dependant character. Hopefully it's alright^^)

{{ so is Darkheart going to be medicine cat then? He's either going to be Quailkit's mentor or Vervainkit's mentor lol }}
"Blossomkit, Vervainkit, and Quailkit have now reached the age of six moons," Pinestar mewed. As his confidence grew, he held his head higher and his voice grew clearer.
Blossomkit touched her tail to her brother's pelt reassuringly. "We're going to be the greatest warriors ever Vervainkit," she murmured, eyes wide with joy. "Just you watch. You and me, together we'll be unstoppable."

(Foreshadowing, ahahah.)
Vervainkit's worries faded a bit at her comment; if Blossomkit was by his side, he could do anything, even face the scary prospect of an apprenticeship. He raised his head higher, and followed his sibling to Pinestar's call.
"Yes, we could take on the whole forest!" he mewed quietly, so that the others gathered around the Highstone couldn't hear him. We'll be just fine, you and me. I promise I'll never disappoint you, sister.

Blossomkit noticed Lightningpaw watching them and beamed in her direction. Somehow, in her mind, the apprentice's gaze wasn't at all condescending. "That's right, Vervainkit," Blossomkit purred. She puffed our her chest in an attempt to seem bigger and stronger. She was so ready for this.\
"Blossomkit," Pinestar continued. He couldn't help himself but to smile at the kits' emotions written so clearly on their faces. Even he, the old tomcat, remembered how exciting yet daunting it was to become an apprentice. "From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Blossompaw. Your mentor will be Boulderstrike." He turned to the large tom. "Boulderstrike, have proved yourself to be a powerful, loyal warrior. I expect you to pass on all you know to Blossompaw."
The little she-cat bounced over to her new mentor to press noses with him. Raventail was the very first to begin chanting, "Blossompaw! Blossompaw!"

(Sure! Does he need a ceremony our it's just established that he is?)
Blackdawn and Darkheart cheered for the new apprentice. Darkheart's blue eyes gleamed with happiness. Ceremonies always excited him.

When the cheering died down, Pinestar turned to the next kit. "Vervainkit," he mewed, a smile lighting up his green eyes. "From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Vervainpaw. Your mentor will be Featherdawn." To the she-cat, he said, "Featherdawn, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You are a kind-hearted warrior, and I trust you will pass on all you know to Vervainpaw."

Aspenblaze cheered out Vervainpaw's name with the rest of the Clan. She wasn't particularly familiar with him in particular, but she was excited about the prospect of having new apprentices.

"Finally," Pinestar mewed. His voice was starting to fade ever-so-slightly. "Quailkit. You have shown an unbreakable interest in becoming a medicine cat. From this day on, until you receive your full medicine cat name, you shall be known as Quailpaw. Darkheart, although you are still young, I know you will be a great mentor to young Quailpaw." At the last few words, his voice shook.
