The gathering had passed, and everything eventually had gone peacefully, to Russetstar's delight. Now that they had finished focusing on all the other clans instead of his own, the leader had decided it was time for a change of pace- and what better to start it off than with a few ceremonies? "Every-cat who is old enough to swim, please gather under the Streamstone for an announcement!"

"Salmonkit, 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 Salmonpaw. Your mentor will be Lotusheart. I hope Lotusheart will pass down all they know on to you, as she is a loyal warrior."

"Lotusheart, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from moons past, and you have shown yourself to be an honorable deputy. You will be the mentor of Salmonpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to them."

"Sproutkit, 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 Sproutpaw. Your mentor will be Snowheart. I hope Snowheart will pass down all they know on to you, as he is a loyal warrior."

"Snowheart, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from moons past, and you have shown yourself to be an honorable warrior. You will be the mentor of Sproutpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to them."

"Littlekit, 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 Littlepaw. Your mentor will be Pineneedle. I hope Pineneedle will pass down all they know on to you, as she is a loyal warrior."

"Pineneedle, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from moons past, and you have shown yourself to be an honorable warrior. You will be the mentor of Littlepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to them."

There was one more ceremony to complete- and this one, he was certainly both excited and nervous for. My daughter.

"Rabbitkit, 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 Rabbitpaw. Your mentor will be Mistfall. I hope Mistfall will pass down all they know on to you, as she is a loyal warrior."

"Mistfall, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You had received excellent training from moons past, and you have shown yourself to be an honorable warrior. You will be the mentor of Rabbitpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to them."

Now that the apprentices had been done, there was one apprentice who needed to become warriors- to finally finish their training.

"I, Russetstar, leader of Riverclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn,

"Jaypaw- do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

'I do.'

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior names. Jaypaw, from this moment you will be known as Jayheart. Starclan honors your bravery and strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan."

And finally, new additions to RIverclan- outsiders who were joining their own ranks.

"Tundra, you have left your old home to reside in Riverclan, to abide by the laws of the warrior code and live peacefully within our clan. Your new name will be Tundrasmoke, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Riverclan."

"Bella, you are joining our clan under the age of twelve moons, and it is tradition for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Silverpaw. Your mentor will be [unspecified]. I hope [unspecified] will pass down all they know on to you."

and with that, they were done.

Newly named Salmonpaw walked over proudly to his parents. OliveSun licked his daughter proudly on the top of her head and glanced to AshenFeather, his mate.
