EMBERTALON
The orange she-cat was mildly stunned as she heard her new name. Had she really earned something so fierce sounding?
Compared to how i used to be... I suppose.
Hearing Sparrowstar praise her bravery and determination, her chest swelled with pride in herself. She had worked very hard. It had taken moons. Most of her former denmates were gone.
My denmates. I get to move to the warriors den! I don't have to be cramped anymore!
The idea of having space to move around instead of shoving herself into a smaller den designed for younger cats was exhilarating. Then she heard Sparrowstar's next words. She was proud. This amazing she-cat who lead the clan, friend of her mentor Cindersky, was
proud. She hadn't realized how much she needed to hear that. Blinking away the start of tears from her amber eyes, Embertalon dipped her head to Sparrowstar.
"Thank you, Sparrowstar. That means a lot to me," she replied softly before letting her gaze travel over the gathered cats, chanting the new names she and Softsky had received.
Turning to Softsky, she gave a friendly smile, the first time she'd been able to show happiness in a long time.
"We did it, Softsky. We finally did it," she mused happily to the brown and white she-cat.
