"Specklefrost! Mossfoot!" Dawnpaw called up as brightly as ever, overshadowing his sister's droning and almost impatient mumbles of the names.

Nettlepatch, Seafoam, Blizzardstorm, and Shadowblossom called out, joining the clan’s cheers for the new warriors
Twilightkit flattened his ears, sighing as he was scolded. “Sorry Mama.” He whispered, before smacking Lionkit on the nose.

Magpiewing shook her head, feeling a slight scowl forming. She tried to push away the negative feelings that came naturally with even her father's name. "I tend to stay away from him." she admitted bluntly. "I grew up admiring Hornetstrike, never having any doubt that he wasn't my father. I even look like him, which only adds to the hurt. Plumfur looks like Mapleleaf, and, well, Aspenfall doesn't really resemble any of us... but Stormeye looked so much like Slatesight and nothing like them. It's not his fault, but he's part of how I found out the truth." she explained. "But anyway, I still don't feel ready to confront him. Maybe I never will. I can't see him as my father when he chose his duties over us. Even now, I..." she trailed off, suddenly feeling at a loss for words. Her conversation with Mothsong had given her a new perspective on her place in the Clan. Was there any chance she would see things differently, after all this time? “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Slatesight is the one who decided to keep it a secret, and you are the one who had to carry that weight. Forgive him, don’t forgive him…It doesn’t really change the fact that you’re a far more loyal Warrior to the code. Use that anger to drive you…better than I let mine drive me.” Mothsong sighed. "I suppose so... thanks, Mothsong." Magpiewing spoke in appreciation. "But what do you mean about anger driving you, if you don't mind?" she asked, realizing that she probably shouldn't press the she-cat if she didn't want to talk about it. Aspenfall gave a satisfied nod at Peachdapple's response. She always seemed the most warrior-like out of all the medicine cats he knew, and he also knew that she could and would defend herself if needed. Even with his warrior training, she was surely the better choice for the journey. "All right. I trust that you'll have a successful trip." |

I did genuinely doubt Lightningstar's leadership, but at the end of the day it wasn't him who had issues for the Clan. It was me, and my refusal to accept that I could be anything but a pure Thunderclan cat. I was just so angry all the time...and I took it out on everyone else. So, now...I guess all I want to do is put that anger into something else. After all, I shouldn't be a hypocrite when I'm not a pure Thunderclan cat anyway." Mothsong explained with a light shrug, feeling good to admit her feelings for once. |

“Now before we go, there are some apprentices to be named.” Lightningstar spoke. “Patchkit, Hollowkit, Sootkit, Flurrykit, and Drizzlekit please step forward.”

Just trying to get this all done..)
Flurrykit, Drizzlekit, Patchkit, Hollowkit, and Sootkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Flurrypaw, Drizzlepaw, Patchpaw, Hollowpaw, and Sootpaw. Flurrypaw, your mentor will be Blizzardstorm, Drizzlepaw your mentor will be Leopardfrost. Patchpaw, your mentor will be Frostmoon. Sootpaw your mentor will Magpiewing. Finally Hollowpaw mentor will be Silentflare. I hope they will pass down all they know on to you.” Lightningstar spoke. “This meeting is over. Twolegplace patrols will be leaving shortly. Ghostscreech will assign the patrols.” He jumped off high rock to end the meeting

Woot!)
Sootpaw lifted his head proudly, he was an apprentice! He looked over to Mgpiewing, wondering if she would be taking him out to see the territory right away.
Hollowpaw purred, glad to finally be out of the nursery. She tilted her head, trying to find Silentflare’s scent. She had only caught it briefly a couple of times, so she didn’t have it fully memorized.

Silentflare looked at his leader in shock for a moment. Hollowpaw? He didn’t know anything about training a blind cat. He shook his head to clear it before stepping up to her. “Hello.” He greeted.

Frostmoon felt a wave of panic at the announcement. She was going to be a mentor? This early? Her heart raced, unable to process how Lightningstar could give her an apprentice so soon after she had failed so miserably on the patrol. She padded wearily towards Patchpaw, trying to look more confident than she felt as she slowly extended her nose.
Flurrypaw scampered quickly over to Blizzardstorm, eyes bright as he mewed. “I didn’t expect to get you, but I think it’ll work pretty great! I’m not gonna give you any breaks, got it?” He decided.
Drizzlepaw approached Leopardfrost, a little nervous, but still wanting to please her mentor.
Featherfoot watched his kits proudly, hoping that they wouldn’t be too much of a hassle for their mentors.

Hollowpaw turned her head fully to Silentflare, “Hello.” She mewed, reaching forward with her nose for the traditional mentor and apprentice greeting. She remembered her mother telling her about it.

Patchpaw looked at Frostmoon as she approached. His eyes shined with excitement. “Hi! I promise I’m going to be the best apprentice ever!” He spoke. “You were on the Riverclan patrol yeah? When will I get to fight off Riverclan cats?”

Leopardfrost gave Drizzlepaw a kind smile, “Don’t worry, you’ll be great.” She purred, moving to touch her nose to her new apprentice. Her first apprentice! She couldn’t wait to teach her everything.

Silentflare moved to touch his nose to hers briefly. He could do this right? He had failed his sons but maybe he could try and help Hollowpaw. He shook his head before speaking. “I suppose first thing we can go around the territory.”

When will I get to fight off Riverclan cats?” “You won’t.” Frostmoon mewed bluntly, before she realized how harsh she must have sounded then. Her ears fell as she apologized. “What I mean is that you won’t be battling Riverclan cats anytime soon…And I know you’ll do great as an apprentice.” She mewed, her voice softer now. ‘I just don’t think I’ll be great as your mentor…’ She thought miserably to herself, suddenly feeling a weight on her shoulders at the thought of bringing down Patchpaw’s enthusiasm with her issues. |

Hollowpaw’s ears perked up at the suggestion, “Really? Will we be able to go over all of ThunderClan’s territory?” She mewed, ready to take in all of the new scents.

She couldn’t wait to teach her everything. “You…really think so?” Drizzlepaw looked up shyly, trying her hardest to be as brave as she could in front of her new mentor. “I uhm…I’ll try the best I can to be a good apprentice. I’m good at waking up early.” |

“Of course. I know you will be.” Leopardfrost purred, standing up. Now that the meeting was over, she could take Drizzlepaw out of camp. “Come on, I’m sure your anxious to see the territory. Perhaps we can see if Blizzardstorm and Flurrypaw will want to go as well.” She mewed.

Mothsong explained with a light shrug, feeling good to admit her feelings for once. Magpiewing listened, taking in what Mothsong was saying. "It seems like you've learned how to handle your anger." she spoke. Unlike me, a thought in her mind said, and she sighed inwardly. "A part of me also doubted Lightningstar's leadership, but everyone knows that we were wrong. I think we've learned from our mistakes by now." she reassured. Magpiewing 2 glanced up in surprise. She was going to be a mentor? She almost didn't believe it. She figured Lightningstar would've thought that someone like her didn't have the patience to handle an apprentice. She stood to greet Sootpaw. "I trust that you're ready for apprenticeship," she said, not sure of what else to say to him in the beginning. |

Nettlepatch, lowered himself down to the kit’s level. “We are warriors of Thunderclan little one. Have you ever heard of the clans before? Did your mother tell you about them perhaps?” He mewed gently, his soft voice quite a contrast to the Tom’s large well-muscled body. Ivykit's eyes went wide. These were the clan-cats? The feral, ruthless warriors that her mother had spoken of in stories?! Merely giving a slow nod in confirmation to the new cat's question, she glanced over them quickly. "Thunderclan" was a cool name. Maybe these big cats could help her. They seemed a lot nicer than in Mama's stories of battles and territory, but they definitely lived up to her physical descriptions of muscled warriors ready for anything. ((Placing a small bump for this now. I didn't want to interrupt the flow of the meeting  )) |

She mewed kindly. “Why don’t you come along with us, we’ll get you somewhere warm and safe, and then we can try and look for your mother after that. We live in a big group and we protect all kits.” She promised. |

Warm and safe... Those were two words that sounded like pure bliss to Ivykit. Pulling herself back to her feet with a small huff, she took a few shaky steps towards the nice she-cat in front of her with a shy nod.
"I...I'd like that," she mewed quietly, hoping that it wasn't TOO much of a walk to get to this warm and safe place since her paws were already aching and her eyes were protesting her keeping them open for much longer. "Are there um... lots of other kits in your big group?"
Talking. Talking and questions would help her stay awake and not be rude to this very nice cat. Ivykit swiped at her face once again in an attempt to clean herself before giving her a small smile.

Patchpaw deflated a little at her initial harsh tone. However, he immediately perked back up when she seemed to soften. “Aw ok.. well still I’m going to be the best fighter in the clan! Soon Riverclan will cower at the thought of me.”
Silentflare moved to head towards the camp entrance. “Probably not all of it today.” He spoke. “You probably can’t handle all the walking.” He looked at her. She really was a scrawny, little cat. How was he going to do this?

She really was a scrawny, little cat. How was he going to do this? (Can only post once, on break rn) “You’ll have to work hard.” Frostmoon pointed out honestly, the weariness in her chest making her feel cold and hot at the same time. “Riverclan is powerful. You’ll have to really want to be as strong as you can be. I’ll…I promise, I’ll teach you everything I know. Uh…how about we go tour the territory first?” She admittedly wanted to get her mind off of what happened today. “I can’t really battle train for a few days yet with my wounds healing. So we’ll start with hunting and scenting.” |

He's probably going to be like I was when I was his age, she thought, flicking her tail. "I assume you're ready to see the territory, then?" |

"Of course, little one. We actually have some brand new kits if you'd like to meet them. A few that are older too, like you. We have cats who can help you heal from the icky stuff on you. I can help you clean your pelt and face, if you'll give me permission to. I have alot of kits of my own." Vixenrose asked gently, not wanting to scare the kit. "What's your name, love?" |

Perhaps we can see if Blizzardstorm and Flurrypaw will want to go as well.” She mewed. "Y-yeah! I'd like that alot!" Drizzlepaw exclaimed, looking hopefully to where her brother and Blizzardstorm were. She'd feel much better knowing her brother would be going out adventuring with her, like they promised to do so all the time. She liked Leopardfrost already, liking that she didn't sound strict and harsh. |

"Sometimes I still feel angry...I think of my parents and everything just kind of piles up until all I want to do is claw something. I shouldn't have been foolish enough to think Shadeclaw could lead the clan better than Lightningstar. But, I guess I preferred a more aggressive response. Doesn't matter now. Starclan chose the better leader, I suppose. I'm surprised Lightningstar didn't banish us for forcing him out..." She admitted, sighing heavily. "We'll get better. You and I both. We have our duties and Leafbare to focus on now." |
