"All cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the Moss Stone for a clan meeting!" Jaystar yowled and sat to wait. Soon the cats had filled the clearing. "Today, Blossompaw and Firepaw are due to become warriors.
"I, Jaystar, leader of MossClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turns." He turned to Blossompaw.
"Blossompaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, to defend and protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." Blossompaw meowed solemnly.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this moment on, you shall be known as Blossomglow. StarClan honors your bravery and skill, and we welcome you as a full warrior of MossClan." Jaystar's eyes shone as he named his apprentice.
Blossomglow smiled happily at the praise, but flashed a glared at Whirlstorm.
Then Jaystar turned to Firepaw. "Firepaw, do promise to uphold the warrior code, to defend and protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do." Firepaw's strong and attractive voice echoed around the silent clearing.
"And Sparrowfur, is Firepaw ready to become a warrior?" Jaystar asked, turning to Firepaw's mentor.
"Yes, he is." Sparrowfur meowed, looking at his apprentice proudly.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. From this moment on, you shall be known as Firefang. StarClan honors your loyalty and dependability. We welcome you as a full warrior of MossClan."
Jaystar waved his tail for silence. "Also, we found some cats in the forest today. They will be known as Minnowpaw, Hailbreeze, Crowpaw, Pouncepaw, Running_, Leopardpelt, and Spottedkit. Minnowpaw's mentor will be Minnowsong, since Minnowsong is ready for her first apprentice." He allowed the two to touch noses. "Crowpaw's mentor will be Ashflame, since I know, even though he's young, he can teach his apprentice his skill and nobilty." The two cats touched noses. "And Pouncepaw's mentor will be Cresentpelt. I expect Cresentpelt to pass on his wisdom to this apprentice." Jaystar watched for a few seconds, before leaping down from the Moss Stone to congratulate the new warriors.

Ivorypool watched Snowkit and Nightkit frolic in the clearing.
Minnowpaw looked at Minnowsong and flicked her tail, "It's nice to meet you." She said simply.
ReplyDeleteMinnowsong purred. "Are you up for a bit of battle training?"
ReplyDeleteCrowpaw shifted excitedly. "Hey, Ashflame!" He mewed. "When are we beginning training?"
ReplyDeleteHailbreeze purred and watched Crowpaw, proud of her little brother.
"As soon as you want." Ashflame smiled.
ReplyDelete"Hey," Firefang appeared next to Hailbreeze. "I'm Firefang. And you must be the beautiful Hailbreeze."
Minnowpaw looked at her mentor, "Sure, why not."
ReplyDelete"Okay! Lets go!" Crowpaw mewed, getting up and ready.
ReplyDelete"Ah, hello." Hailbreeze blinked, surprised. "Just Hailbreeze will do, but thank you for the complement." She purred.
"Alright. This way." Minnowsong padded toward the entrance.
ReplyDeleteAshflame laughed. "Bet I can beat you to the clearing!"
"No problem." Firefang purred, then winked.
"No way! I'll totally beat you!" Crowpaw started running off, intent on getting there first.
ReplyDelete"Well, seems someones a charmer here." She purred playfully.
Crescentpelt touched noses with Pouncepaw. "Do you want to start training now or later?" he asked.
ReplyDelete~Crescentpelt

Ashflame zipped passed the young apprentice easily, his long legs stretching out before him.
ReplyDelete"Well, yes." Firefang meowed. "You're not so bad yourself."
"Hello." Ivorypool dipped her head to the older queen. "I'm Ivorypool, and my kits are Snowkit and Nightkit." She pointed to the white she-kit and small black tom talking with Spottedkit.
"Hello," Nightkit meowed. "I'm Nightkit."
"And I'm Snowkit!" Snowkit meowed excitedly.
"Eh! No way!" Crowpaw yelled, trying to catch up with his mentor.
ReplyDelete"Well, I can't say I do it much or very well, but thank you." Hailbreeze mewed. "Not many toms from my old clan."
Spottedkit looks at Nightkit and then Snowkit still smiling."I'm Spottedkit.So what do you guys do for fun?"She askes.
ReplyDeleteLeapordpelt nods."I'm Leapordpelt,it's a plesure to meet you."she purrs,and looks at the kits,before back at the other queen."How old are your kits?"She askes.
Whirlstorm stood and yawned, then sat back down and asked the new queen, "I'm Whirlstorm and the dark grey kit, Duskkit, the pale grey kit, Willowkit, and the white and grey one, Tinykit, are my kits." She smiled and purred at the leopard she-kit playing with the other kits.
ReplyDeleteDuskkit smiled at the pretty new she-cat. "I'm Duskkit and we usually play moss-ball or we wrestle." He announced, puffing out his chest.
Willowkit sighed and meowed, "Don't mind him. I'm Willowkit." She apologized for Duskkit and smiled at Spottedkit.
Wolffur smiled and Cresentpelt and padded up to him, "Can I come with you and Pouncepaw, I can be target practice." She smiled shyly.
Mousetail called to his apprentice, "Blazepaw, why don't we go out for some battle practice, all of the other apprentices are coming, so you can practice on someone other than Vinepaw and me." He laughed and flicked his tail for the ginger tom to follow him over to Cherrycloud and Vinepaw.
Crescentpelt purred. "'Course you can," he said, and then waved the two forward with his tail, bounding into the forest. "Catch me if you can!" he called.
ReplyDelete~Crescentpelt
Poucepaw smiles and races after his mentor.
ReplyDeleteLeopardpelt nods."It's nice to meet all of you."she mews smiling.
Spottedkit giggles."I don't mind.So do you guys want to play?i've never actualy had someone to play with,so what is moss ball?"she askes curiously.
Rosenight looked at Hunterkit and Deamonkit.
ReplyDeleteAshflame skidded to a halt at the clearing. "Beat you!" He smiled.
ReplyDeleteFirefang shrugged. "It satisfies me."
"They're about four moons old by now, I think." Ivorypool meowed. "What about yours?"
Nightkit eyed Duskkit. "Oh, stop showing off." He said the tom. Then he turned and rolled his eyes at Spottedkit. "He thinks he's already a warrior, but he's younger then me!"
Snowkit giggled.
Daemonkit padded over to the new kits. "Hi!" He said to them.
Spotterkit giggles and turns tawards Daemonkit."Hi."she mews.
ReplyDeleteLeapordpelt smiles."My daughter's three moons old."She mews.
Crowpaw frowned, "Hmph! I'll beat you one day! I'm sure of it!" He paused, then looked back up. "So, what will we train about first?"
ReplyDelete"Well I'm glad then." Hailbreeze looked around the camp. "Mind showing me around? I haven't really explored the camp very much."
Daemonkit looked over the she-kit, then smiled. "I think you'll be almost a good warrior as me." He said seriously, though there a twinkle of laughter in his eyes.
ReplyDelete"Ignore him, too." Snowkit whispered. "He's got that whole, 'holier then thou' thing going on." Her gaze darted back to Daemonkit with a teasing look.
Daemonkit gave Snowkit a sharp look, but softened at the sweet, innocent gaze she gave him. He flicked her over the ear. He was bigger then her, even if he was younger.
"Sure you will!" Ashflame rolled his eyes. "First, just run at me."
"Sure." Firefang grinned. "This is the warriors' den," he meowed, leading the she-cat to the den. "we sleep here."
"Okay?" He mewed confused and started running toward his mentor.
ReplyDelete"Ah, okay." Hailbreeze looked around the den. "Do we make the nests out of moss? Where I used to live, we did that."
Hunterkit sat and watched his brother get all the glory.
ReplyDeleteAshflame waited for Crowpaw to get to him, then stepsided easily and swiped his paw along his apprentices' flank. "Try attacking me." He meowed, smiling.
ReplyDelete"Yes. We are called MossClan, after all." Firefang padded over to a nest. "This is mine." he meowed. "There's a free one next to it, if you want it..."
Spottedkit giggles again,still smiling,spotting hunterkit she frowns slightly."Who's he?"she askes in a whisper to snowkit.
ReplyDelete"Oh, that's Hunterkit." Snowkit meowed, rolling her eyes. "He's sooo dramatic. I don't know why he can't just get up and walk over here. There's no need to sulk."
ReplyDelete"Eh?" Crowpaw stumbled but stayed on his paws. "How'd you do that?" He whined to himself, but went at his mentor, claws sheathed.
ReplyDelete"If you don't mind, that'd be wonderful, thank you." Hailbreeze mewed, pleased.
Crescentpelt skidded to a halt in the forest, and then turned to Pouncepaw. "The first thing I'd better teach you is the hunter's crouch," he mewed.
ReplyDelete~Crescentpelt
Ashflame ducked and pushed up to throw Crowpaw off of him.
ReplyDelete"Cool." Firefang gestured to the nest next to his.
"Eh?!" Crowpaw gasped, falling back.
ReplyDeleteHailbreeze nodded, looking out of the dens entrance. "Mind showing me around the forest? I'd like to get used to hunting around here. Want to join me in hunting?
Poucepaw smiles."Ok."he mews.
ReplyDeleteAshflame smiled. "Ok, try to catch me off guard. And if I step side you, try to swipe a paw out and hit me."
ReplyDelete"Sure." Firefang meowed. He led the she-cat out of camp. "Pick a direction, and I'll show you a good place to hunt that way."
"Watch me," Crescentpelt mewed. He dropped into the hunter's crouch, his feet sliding smoothly and soundlessly over the forest floor and his sleek black body low to the ground. He straightened and turned to Pouncepaw. "Now you try."

ReplyDeletePoucepaw nods,and drops into a crouch.He places one paw silently infront of the other.But by mistake steps on a twig making it snap.He sits up frowning for a moment before trying again.This time avoiding making any sound.
ReplyDeleteSpottedkit nods,she looks tawards hunterkit and then at Duskkit.With a flick of her ear she stands up and tackles him playfuly.
"I'll try." Crowpaw nodded, determined. Bracing his legs, Crowpaw leaped forward.
ReplyDelete"How about that way?" Hailbreeze mewed, her tail pointing to the left.
Ashflame step sided, and felt his apprentice's paw run down his flank. "Good!" he purred.
ReplyDelete"Alright!" Firefang padded in that direction until they reached a big tree. "Acorns always fall here, so squirrels are here all the time."
Crowpaw's belly felt warm with pride, and he looked at his mentor as he skidded to a halt. "What next?"
ReplyDelete"Squirrels?" Hailbreeze's tail twitched curiously. Quietly Hailbreeze looked around, sure enough, she spotted a squirrel not to far from the tree munching on a acorn.
"Uh," Ashflame thought for a moment. "Why don't you try to unbalance me."
ReplyDeleteFirefang stalked to the base of the tree. The squirrel still ate. He bunched his muscles, and leaped at the squirrel. He caught it in his jaws and bit it quickly.
Whirlstorm smiled and meowed, "Mine are almost 4 moons." She saw Hunterkit sitting alone and turned to him, "You should go teach Spottedkit how to play moss-ball. That seems like a good way to welcome her, don't you think?" She smiled warmly at the kit and nudged him forward.
ReplyDeleteWolffur dashed after Cresentpelt and Pouncepaw. She let the wind in her fur calm her and she smiled when she opened her eyes to Cresentpelt bounding through the dense trees.
Duskkit flicked his tail angrily. 'I am the charming one, not Daemonkit!' He plastered a smile on his face, despite the anger bubbling inside him.
Willowkit whispered to Snowkit and Spottedkit, "Do you see Duskkit, he looks angry. Probably because of Deamonkit stealing his attention." She laughed.
Mousetail meowed to Blazepaw, "Come on, all of the mentors and apprentices are going to the training hollow for battle practice. You can practice on cats other than me and Vinepaw." He gave a small laugh and bounded over to Cherrycloud and Vinepaw.
Spottedkit smiles and shakes her head."Toms...i'll never understand them." she whispers to both Snowkit and Willowkit.
ReplyDeleteDaemonkit shrugged. "Whatever." He meowed.
ReplyDeleteSnowkit giggled. "True that." She agreed.
Blazepaw nodded. He followed his mentor quickly.
Cherrycloud nodded to the other two cats. "Ready?" She asked.
Spottedkit looks at deamonkit,an idea flashed throught her mind and she looks at snowkit and willowkit."Let's surprise attack them,maybe a good playfight will make them foget about being stuborn toms for awhile."She mews,her eyes glowing michiviously.
ReplyDeleteCrescentpelt nodded to Pouncepaw. "Very good," he said with a grin. "Can you tell me why you have to slide your paws like that?"
ReplyDelete~Crescentpelt
"It's so that prey don't feel my foot steps.Right? Poucepaw mews.
ReplyDelete"How? Do I go after the legs or just any general area?" Crowpaw mewed his question.
ReplyDelete"Nice catch!" Hailbreeze mewed, looking around for any more potential prey to catch.
"Good idea!" Snowkit giggled.
ReplyDelete"However you want." Ashflame meowed. "I want to teach you just as much as I want you to use your natural instincts."
Firefang smiled. "Thanks. Think you can catch anything?" He padded back to the bushes.
"Okay." Crowpaw flattened his ears back, and readied his legs. Pushing, he leaped at his mentor.
ReplyDelete"Of course," Hailbreeze nodded. Looking around, she caught sight of a squirrel crawling down the tree, nut in mouth. Stalking over to it slowly, she jumped up and caught it, biting it in the neck.
Spottedkit smiles."I call Deamonk,then."she whispers just loud enought for Willowkit and Snowkit to hear.
ReplyDelete"Alright. We'll take Duskkit, then." Snowkit purred.
ReplyDeleteAshflame waited for Crowpaw to hit him, bracing himself.
"Good one!" Firefang meowed admiringly.
While jumping, Crowpaw aimed at his mentors leg, trying to swipe at it.
ReplyDelete"Thank you," Hailbreeze mumbled over the squirrel. "Its been quite a while since I last caught a squirrel."
"What about Nighkit?"Spottedkit whispers.
ReplyDeleteAshflame laughed as he was pulled down. "Good job!" he purred, jumping back to his paws.
ReplyDelete"Really? I catch them all the time!" Firefang purred.
"I think he doesn't need to attack him. He's not that much of a know it all." Snowkit meowed.
"Thanks!" Crowpaw mewed, jumping back as his mentor got up. "And whats next?"
ReplyDeleteHailbreeze set her squirrel down for a moment. "Yes, me and Crowpaw caught fish near our old clan's territory. It was rare for us to catch woodland animals."
Wolffur smiled and sat down.
ReplyDeleteMousetail nodded, "Ready as ever." Her padded out of camp and torward the training hollow.
Willowkit grinned mischievously, "Perfect!" she whispered.
Duskkit looked curiously at the she-kits.
Whirlstorm meowed, "Will you watch them for me, I need to stretch my legs." She looked from Rosenight, to Leopardpelt, to Ivorypool and stood. She walked around the kits and out of the nursery. "Cloudtooth, do you want to got for a run?" She called to her mate.
Spottedkit nods."Alright.So on the count of three?"she whispers.
ReplyDeleteLeapordpelt smiles and watches her leave.
Willowkit nodded and started the countdown, "One... Two... THREE!" She leaped onto Deamonkit and pined him easily.
ReplyDelete"Well, how about we hunt for a bit?" Ashflame suggested.
ReplyDelete"Oh, ok." Firefang shrugged. "Want to see some water? Maybe you can catch some fish at the waterfall."
Ivorypool nodded.
"Attack!" Snowkit leaped on Duskkit. "Willowkit, come over HERE!"
Daemonkit threw Willowkit off him, laughing. "Do you really think you can just pin me in an instant?"
Spottedkit sneaked behind Deamonkit,and tackled him from his back side as he spoke to Willowkit."Maybe she can't, but i sure did."she mews, pushing him onto the ground underneathe the weight of her four paws.
ReplyDeleteDaemonkit jerked up, pushing the smaller kit off of him. He turned and kicked her away, lightly so she wouldn't get hurt, but hard enough to knock the breath out of her and send her back a few feet.
ReplyDelete"Hunt? Sure!" Crowpaw got straight up on his paws, waiting for his mentor to lead the way.
ReplyDelete"That'd be very nice." Hailbreeze nodded.
"Alright, come on then!" Ashflame sped into the woods.
ReplyDelete"This way." Firefang stepped into a bramble thicket, following a tiny tunnel that only he knew about.
"i can certainly try. By the way, pick on someone your own size!" Willowkit taunted and sneaked around him and caught his forepaw, knocking him down,before turning around to get Nightkit. She cuffed Duskkit on the ear, just for fun, then she surprised Nightkit with a quick sweep of his legs and she tried to pin him.
ReplyDeleteDuskkit yelped, "hey no fair!" He struggled against his denmate but failed to escape. His decided to go limp, then he kicked with his hind legs and broke away from Snowkit's pin.
Crowpaw hurried after his mentor, trying to keep up with his pace.
ReplyDeleteHailbreeze's tail twitched with curiosity, but didn't comment, and followed.
Nightkit angrily pushed Willowkit off and spat in her face. He jumped onto her and battered her belly with sheathed claws.
ReplyDeleteSnowkit laughed as she was thrown off. She jumped up and batted at Duskkit's nose.
Willowkit was surprised with Nightkit's reaction but fought back all the same. She shoved him away with her hind legs and pounced on him, battering his belly with her small paws.
ReplyDeleteDuskkit was dazed for a moment when Snowkit hit his nose, then he retaliated with a quick swipe to her face to surprise her, then he rolled over to pin her, being sure to get all of her limps.
Nightkit rolled his eyes and jumped away.
ReplyDeleteSnowkit giggled. "Good one!"
Spottedkit landed a few paw steps away,and quickly leaps back to her paws.She turns around and leaps tawards Deamonkit landing infront of him,she move her weight to her back paws and swipes at him with her front paws,her claws sheathed.
ReplyDeleteWillowkit grinned and stood where she was, unmoving. Them out of nowhere she leaped at Nightkit, lightning fast she shoved his chest with her small front paws, then finally wrestled him to the ground to try and pin him again.
ReplyDeleteDuskkit's eyes lit up with pride. "Why thank you!"
"Will you stop it?" Nightkit growled at the grey kitten, showing his teeth and hissing menacingly.
ReplyDeleteSnowkit smiled. "But not good enough." She flipped onto her back, pushing Duskkit underneath her. "Ha!"
Crescentpelt nodded. "Good," he said. Then the black warrior flicked his tail. "Come on, let's try and go hunting. That way I can teach you with some paws-on experience."
