ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

[plum]

Plumpaw watches disdainfully as somebody who shared her den shoves their way to the front of the crowd. Pinepaw, she believed they were called. The molly rolls her eyes and shifts her attention to the actual meeting. She could care less for princesses like that around her. It was quite puzzling that Flintstar himself wasn't performing this meeting, but perhaps he was falling ill? She couldn't imagine anything else taking precedence over this. First, two kits are called. Duskfeather names them both as 'paws and gives them mentors. Plumpaw sniffs- Now the apprentice's den would be even more crowded than it already was! And she was going nowhere soon, by the looks of it.

But no sooner than the thought twirled around in her head, the silvery mau hears her own name being mentioned by the deputy. Her charcoal ears perk up and she sits still for a few heartbeats before actually moving. As she stands, her legs quiver and she hears a loud but nonexistent SNAP in her ears. She flinches before setting her paw down, but forces herself to move nonetheless. She needed to take her place beneath the Highpeak, and no trauma would get in her way of that. Especially if it meant being a step closer to becoming a warrior, finally. As she approaches the area beneath Duskfeather, she casts a glance over her Clanmates, then scans the rest of the clearing before turning back around and sitting down by the others. Would this be valid even though it isn't the leader?

Dawmblossom smiled warmly at Ashcloud. She whispered to the tom. "There's still a chance with all these apprentices getting new mentors." She sat quietly afterwards, intently waiting for the next announcement. Looking to Ashcloud, she could see his anticipation growing.

ashcloud was a little disappointed to not get one of the new apprentices so he scanned the crowed for an apprentice he felt he would like, I think springpaw, rosepaw, thistlepaw, or plumpaw would be a nice apprentice to train. he thought with a little more hope that he would get one of these cats as an apprentice.

Ignoring her aching limbs that worsened by the minute, Silversky limped over to the Highpeak. She'd have to get to the medicine den soon if she wanted relief... but she felt terrible pulling herself away from a meeting. She would stay and listen. It was her duty. She couldn't let Flintstar- or Duskfeather down.

"Well, you seem to like him a lot," mewed Ivykit after pondering.

"Great!" Brightpaw mewed. He liked the idea of showing her the territory as well; plus, if he didn't end up messing up somehow, he might get a new friend in the process!

"Oh, of course!" He had to refrain from automatically saying Sorry, offering her a smile back before flicking his tail and padding towards the entrance. "Can I, um... Visit tomorrow?" he asked, tentatively. "I don't want to be a bother, but..."

[Sneakyfox55]

Upon seeing Petalpaw's ceremony, Brightpaw chanted her name enthusiastically.

Owlwatcher looked at Duskfeather with disbelief, I'm receiving two apprentices? He looked at the deputy with disbelief for a few heartbeats before realizing that he had to go up there. The tom walked up to Petalkit, a cat he knew since birth and helped her grow and now he gets to continue to help her. "I'm so happy to be your mentor." Touching noses with the new apprentice and afterwards dipped his head in thanks to the deputy. A grin was still on his face when the brown warrior sat back at his place.

Ravenspirit watched the meeting from the back of the crowd with pride swelling as he watched his adopted daughter receive her paw ceremony and mentor. That pride only grew as he watched his son step up to receive their mentor as well. His dark amber eyes met Darkpaws and the warrior gave a confident smile to boost the apprentice's spirits.

"Petalkit, you are now of age to begin training. From this moment on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Petalpaw. Owlwatcher [ @Shimm ], I entrust you with the ability to pass on your wisdom to this young she-cat."

"Birdkit, you are now of age to begin training. From this moment on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Birdpaw. Dawnheart [ @meowsticool ], may you pass on your knowledge to this young apprentice."

She gave a few moments for the new apprentices to meet their mentors, smiling down at them. Duskfeather's brow quirked as she did so, gaze passing over the clearing. Flintstar hadn't arrived yet- where was he? The she-cat shook her head and decided to continue, hoping he arrived soon. His presence was important, after all.

"There are a number of apprentices who have been without mentors for far too long. It is time for this to change- ThunderClan is in need of warriors, and delayed training cannot be tolerated. Bravepaw [ @Watermelon ], Springpaw [ @Bluepetal ], Geckopaw [ @Starfall ], Thistlepaw [ @Silhouettes ], Ivypaw, Echopaw, Magnoliapaw, Rosepaw [ @Lonestar23 ], Plumpaw [ @implimm ], Darkpaw [ @Vessel ], Hazelpaw [ @Yelloweyes ], Nightpaw [ @Ravenshade ], Silverpaw [ @Silver Speaker ], Blackpaw [ @Solstice_X ], Frostpaw [ @Ravenshade ], and Brightpaw [ @Brightspot ], please step forward! All those who do not show up will not receive a new mentor." Wait... wasn't there already another Brightpaw within the Clan? She blinked. One of them would need their name changed. That would happen after each apprentice was assigned a new mentor, however, and if either of them showed up. So, Duskfeather relaxed slightly, gaze glued to the crowd as she awaited the appearances of each named apprentice- as well as the leader.

The newly awarded apprentice nodded with acceptance to her deputy, looking to her new mentor with a nervous gaze, though she bowed her head with respect. Her small, thin body shivered in the cold and the anxiety of having everyone's eyes on her. @meowsticool
