As the cats slowly gathered around at the base of the rock, Blazingstar patiently waited. He noted that the cats he needed to discuss were already there and that made things easier. He assumed Dusk wouldn't move far from the warriors den or if he did, Blazingstar would wait while the loner made his way over. With that, the Ginger leader continued on with his announcements.
"I have a ceremony to do today and five cats that are willing to join the clan today," he started, giving each cat a glance over to ensure they were ready.
"As you know, Dapplestar had a good range of deputies and each one seemed to disappear. However, Dapplestars former deputy, Infernosky," he gestured towards the she-cat and her companions.
"has come home and wants to rejoin the clan. She has brought two companions with her. I'll take her word for it, that they will make fine warriors," Blazingstar paused, gesturing the trio forwards.
"Jitterbug, Russell, and Infernosky," he began, his voice loud and clear as his gaze turned very serious.
"Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and provide for your clan even at the cost of your lives?"
Assuming they said 'I do' he continued
He raised his head to the sky.
"then by Starclans will, I give you your new names. You will be known as Jitterpaw and Russellfur!" he looked back down on them, a welcoming warmth in his gaze.
"welcome to the clan. And welcome back Infernosky. I trust you will show them our ways," he dipped his head a little before looking in Forest's direction.
This she-cat had a past Blazingstar was still unaware of. From all his knew, she was a friendlier Dusk Syndicate cat willing to join the clan and learn their ways. He'd trust her in this mannor.
"Forest has left the Dusk Syndicate to come learn the ways of the clan," he spoke, gesturing to the young feline.
"So from this day on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Forestpaw! We welcome you to the clan as an apprentice and Sleepingcloud will be your mentor! I hope he passes all he knows down to you," he spoke before turning to Dusk.
Now this feline had a past the ginger leader just found out about. They were connected in a way no one would understand. As he looked at his former friend, he gave him a grin.
"We have another former warrior joining us today. Dusk, please step forwards," he paused.
"do you, Dusk, promise to uphold the warrior code and provide for your clan even at the cost of your life?"
Once again, assuming Dusk said 'I do', the leader continued.
Once ore, his head was lifted to the skies.
"then by the powers of Starclan I give you your warrior name. From this day on you will be known as Duskflight!" Blazingstar looked at his old friend again.
"Welcome back, Duskflight"
Now it was Rabbitkits turn. After welcoming the cats into the clan, it was time for their own clan mate to have their ceremony.
"And finally we have a kit who's ready to become an apprentice," he gestured Rabbitkit forward.
"Rabbitkit, you have reached the age of six moons and are ready to begin training to be a warrior!" He began, his golden hues shining.
"From this day on until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Rabbitpaw! Nightfall, you are ready to take on an apprentice, you will mentor Rabbitpaw. I hope you teach all you know to the new apprentice," he dipped his head a little before jumping off the Breezerock to join his clan mates in the welcoming and congratulations. Thus ending the meeting.
