Gulfstar || Clan Gathering || @gulfclan (yeah uhm… someone tag em’ all)

He bounded away from Splashfrost as he saw the sun was at the highest point. Today was going to be an exciting day. Marshpaw… Lilypaw… Rainpaw… Tidekit… Oceankit… Tropickit… Wavekit… His tail flicked back as he called the clan together, “Let all cats old enough to swim the rapids gather around the Ledge!” He paused as the cats entered the clearing, though most of them were already there. Then he began to rattle off the names, “Lilypaw, Marshpaw, Tidekit, Oceankit, Tropickit, and Wavekit. Please come forward.” The cats stepped forward and he shifted so he stood in front of Lilypaw. “Today, our apprentices become warriors and our kits become apprentices.” He paused as he saw that Marshpaw was just coming out of the nursery and he let him join the apprentices before starting. “I, Gulfstar, leader of Gulfclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down at this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand your noble code and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Lilypaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend the clan, even at the cost of your life?” He felt Lilypaw’s rising excitement as she replied, “I do.” He let a small smile slip onto his face, “Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Lilypaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Lilystem. StarClan honors your determination and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of GulfClan.” He exchanged licks with Lilystem before moving on to Marshpaw. “Marshpaw, I believe your medicine cat training is finished. Go visit StarClan tonight and see what they have to offer to you.” His eyes averted to Rainpaw and he stepped forward to them. “I, Gulfstar, leader of GulfClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look upon this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand your noble code and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Rainpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and defend the clan, even at the cost of your life?”
(okay, rain vs. raven- let’s see who replies first)

Rainpaw || yay || -Brightheart86

Rainpaw gazed in awe.

“I promise.” She said breathlessly.

Gulfstar || Ceremony ||

He swiftly continued as Rainpaw answered, “Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Rainpaw, from now on you will be known as Rainfall. StarClan honors your patience and skill and we welcome you as a full warrior of GulfClan.” He did the same thing as he had done with Lilystem and then he moved to Tidekit, who looked like she couldn’t keep herself from jumping up and down. “Tidekit, 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 Tidepaw. Your mentor will be Drizzleheart. I hope she will pass down all she knows to you.” Drizzleheart made her way through the crowd with her tail held high and then Gulfstar continued, “Drizzleheart, you are ready for an apprentice and you have shown yourself to be thoughtful and energetic. You will be the mentor of Tidekit and I expect you to pass down all you know to this apprentice.”
(Imma wait for storm or raven now)

Tidekit- no Tidepaw couldn't old it in any longer, "EEEEE! Ima be a warrior!" she whispered loudly to her sisters and brother, then she trotted over to drizzleheart and touched noses with her, "I promise I will train the hardest you have ever seen an apprentice train!" she muttered into her mentor's ear, although Tidepaw was a bit diapointed she hadn't got ShadeWing as her mentor, and that probally ment her brother or sisters would get him, she still couldn't crush the overwelming excitment.

(HAHAHAH THE KITS ARE COMING BEECHES)

(oml the way you straight of screamed SHADEWING!! instead of calling for a med like any normal cat XDD)

ShadeWings ears imideatly pricked, Oh StarClan help me! he thought the raced to the nursery, dispite everycats confusion it seemed only he had heard what ViperMoon had literly screamed. He grabbed Marshpaw and dragged him determinedly into the nursery by the scruff, then stared at him expectedly, "Well you helpped Lavender with hers!" he yowled, "Now help her!" At this time many of the cats at the ceremony seemed to be in deep confusion and some even poked there heads inside only to see ViperMoon and uncofortably, but slowly incline their heads out. ShadeWing kept sending many worried glances in ViperMoon's direction as Marshpaw fumbled a bit on what to do.

~slimy~ is crazy

As soon as she had said it, before he even saw the kit being born, he ran out of the den and out of the camp, faster then he had ever ran before, and found a strong yet small stick, and raced back to camp. By the time he was back there was another kit, (btw I plan on the second born being Skykit, first being Silverkit, 3rd being Oyx, then last being tiny Cobrakit) he vigerously licked the sack and set it next to the other, but, something was off about the tom he had just set down next to the little blue-grey she-kit, wasn't breathing..? No, no no no.. I mustn't tell her.. not yet.. she has enough to worry about, poor little kit, up in starclan now.. His face softened, as he looked at ViperMoon, still struggling in pain as another kit slipped out, a small black tom that looked almost exactly like him except for his tailtip, which was the same grey as the dot and paw on both the little tom's and ShadeWing himself.

Vipermoon groaned as the final kit emerged and was set next to her. The stick in her mouth had shattered a while ago, but it didn’t matter now. Vigorously she licked the small sacks of goop from their fur before curling up around them all while panting. Eventually though, the pain had subsided and there were four little kits wrapped in her tail and suckling her belly. Except one that is. She felt tears prick at her eyes as she noticed a small tom-kit, not breathing or moving. Gently she pulled that one close to her face and made sure it was clean before hanging her head and letting the tears spill from her face.

“You will be called Skykit,” she whispered as she looked sadly at the unmoving form of the kit, “because you are in the sky now. I…” another choking sob escaped her throat. “You may not be here, but I will always be your mama. I will always love you as will your father.” Then she passed the kit to Shadewing to allow him to speak to the dead kit. She didn’t let herself forget the him, however she let herself cry tears of happiness at the living kits. “You will be called Silverkit. Shadewing, you may name the other ones so long as the names aren’t… well… dumb. Welcome to Gulfclan, little ones.” Then she sighed in contentment before slowly slipping into sleep.

( also raven its a bit unfair shadowing didn't get to name them, could you edit the last paragraph so shadowing names the as well? You didn't even ask him)

( I just think they should atleast talk about it, maybe discuss other name options, after all in the books and whatnot usually the tom talks to his mate first and they often don't get Immediately named due to the mother being tierd afterwards.)

( idk, just edit it and ask shadowing for names, I figure he'd name the stillborn and cobrakit, I figure the stillborn because he already had the name idea in his head- and well, vipermoon can't read minds XD and the cobrakit in honor of Vipermoon, then vipermoon names Silvertip, for her mother, and Onyxkit, in honor of shadewing, I just think it's kinda cute )(guys help, my auto correct changes shadewing to shadowing XD)

(Mk, ill steal onyxkit from ya then lol)
