RiverClan Skyridge

The marbled tom-kit stopped as he heard his name, pausing with a foot in the air. He turned his head to look at Lionstar in confusion before making his way up to the Streamstone, his ears perked and eyes wide. Palekit quietly sat down in front of the crowd just as he had done when he joined the Clan, his head tilted to the side curiously.

[BEAR.]

"Wolfpaw [ @Dirtfur], you are another apprentice that has been lazing about for too long.. but I frankly can't say I'm surprised. Hazelberry [ @Kitty Mama], you will be responsible for ensuring the completion of his training. If he tries to raise his paw against you, feel free to raise it right back."

And now, for the annoying pale thing. "Palekit [ @hxneysuckle], despite how annoying you can be you have matured significantly since you joined. Your activity around the Clan and your determination to protect camp despite being untrained has proven both your courage and your loyalty, and it is time you became an apprentice.

"From this day forth, you will be known as Palepaw. Fennelheart [ @Heartstruck], I am giving you a chance to redeem yourself with this one. Be a productive mentor with him and perhaps I will consider forgiving you for how slothful you have been during your entire time with this Clan.

"If you fail.. there is no longer room for parasites in this Clan, and I will be happy to revoke your status as a RiverClan cat.

"This meeting is dismissed. Eagleflight [ @Casper], look into sending out some border patrols before it gets too late. Fawnsqueak [ @Dipper], .. meet me in my den."

Lionstar didn't wait around for the cheers of Palepaw, leaving the rock to disappear into Lionsden.

Palepaw's eyes widened even more- if possible- as Lionstar continued, his ears flattening. "But I don't wanna leave Sugarapple and Honeykit!" he cried, a frown on his lips. Seeing that Lionstar had immediately turned away and continued on from the meeting, Palepaw allowed himself to slump down sadly. He didn't want to be an apprentice. He didn't want to leave Sugarapple's side in the nursery. It wasn't fair! The marbled tom huffed and turned around, ignoring the chanting of his name and looking for the supposed Fennelheart that was going to be his mentor.

[tye]

Sugarapple was surprised at every turn. She didn't know it'd happen so soon, like, today soon! "If only I had a chance to clean him up a bit," she noted quietly staring at the stuck up tuft fur but it's okay. He's an apprentice now. The tortie warrior cheered loudly chanting 'Palepaw! Palepaw! Palepaw!' in glee yet a little heart broken that her little troublemaker will no longer be in the nursery. It's time for him to take flight. Her paws itched to dash forward to give him motherly licks and nuzzles but she cannot baby him any longer. And, his mentor will soon take him to start the forest tour around Riverclan territory. He will be exhausted once coming back. Sugarapple gave one more happy glance at Palepaw before turning back into the nursery.

[Fuzzy]

Wow. A lot was happening. Lots of cats getting there new mentors and even getting there names changed. Wow Dawnbreak is such a pretty name. Petuniapaw mused in amazement. Then the un thinkable. Something she'd never though would happen. Well at least not tonight or any time soon. Mister Lionstar noticed I tried! She thought wanting to bounce where she sat. Of course with her excitement she did happen to wiggle around a bit. her just puffed a bit with excitement she watched he meting continue. Sadly forgetting to cheer for the renamed warrior and elder.
Yet when a kit was mentioned her attention was sparked. Palekit, she heard of him! Maybe they could be friends. Well if she remembered right Sugarapple took him in and kind of took her in when she was a kit. So, they did have something in common! "Palepaw! Palepaw! Palepaw!" Petuniapaw chanted jumping up. The meeting was over so she didn't have to sit any longer.

[Solstice_X]

A mentor? An expression of mixed pleasant surprise spread across her face. If her ears could perk any higher, they would. Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be called to mentor again, but alright. An excited sort of nervousness rattled her bones as she rose to her paws. Her left ear twitched a couple times as her amber eyes scanned the gathering crowd for the yellow cat whom she had the vaguest idea was Yellowpaw. Yellowpaw, yellow cat, right?

There he is! Honing in on the tomcat, she found her paws moving on their own as her mind set to work devising her plan of working with her new apprentice. She offered a silent, singular, accepting nod towards the leader as she made her way across to introduce herself.

"Greetings." She mewed dipping her head to acknowledge him from a few mouse-lengths away. Her eyes seemed to be searching the younger cat for two things: `1. A sign of acceptance so that she could approach closer, and 2. His honest thoughts of her as his mentor.

Gentlethunder laughed as Lionstar raised his voice...quite a bit actually. As he began to speak he plopped himself down and looked over at the Warrior, confusion etched on his face as he heard him continuously state that Mistyheart wasn't his name. "It is now I guess." he mumbled to himself before listening as the leader continued on. Cheering his Clanmates names as they were given their ceremonies.

Just as Lionstar turned to walk away, the Tabby picked himself up and did the same. Riverclan life was buzzing.

[tye]

Greenfur sat next to Sunblaze as he was getting treated and watched over at the long meeting. Lionstar surely wanted to hit three birds with one stone today. He jumped up at the sound of his name and Sunblaze, it was ..satisfying to get some appreciation from the lengthy battle. His eyes dragged over to his clanmate, sighing quietly giving the ginger a soft brush of his tail against the injured warrior's pelt. He wanted to smack him honestly but it can wait until he's fully conscious and aware. "Hm?" his tattered ear twitched at Palekit's name, head peered over the crowd to see the little marble kit walking up to Lionstar. "Look at that. The little turd is becoming an apprentice. Maybe he will be more matured and...smart?" after the ceremony, it was a switch in the apprentice and he started to fuss and whine. I take that back the kit is still an idiot. "Stop your whining dummy or I'll knock some sense into you." The white warrior green eyes narrowed. "Unless you want Lionstar to change your name back to 'kit' rank I suggest you grow up!" he shouted to the top of his lungs for all to hear. This kit is truly a headache and he didn't have time for it nor does he want to hear his little crying babbles.

[Kitty Mama]

@Dirtfur

Hazelberry sprung to her paws, eyes alight with joy. She must have heard that right, she was certain! He'd called her name! Lazy or not, an apprentice was an apprentice that she'd be happy to have; they were going to be such great friends. To Lionstar, she dipped her head slightly out of gratitude for trusting her with this responsibility, then she moved up to greet Wolfpaw. "I'm glad I could be your mentor," she mewed to him, enthused about the training ahead. "We have so much to do, and I can't wait."

[ameko]

Sagehawk purred, lifting his chin higher and puffing his chest out with pride. Even if he knew he wouldn't have won his fight with the warrior-apprentice duo, he was happy to have been acknowledged by Lionstar. He was a little glad, though, that the raid ended before he could've been beaten into the dirt by those two. The young warrior looked around the clearing, the buzz from the other cats distracting him from what had happened over at ShadowClan. Our Clan is definitely the strongest - and liveliest! he thought.

"Palepaw! Palepaw!" he cheered with the rest of the Clan. RiverClan truly was full of life! Sagehawk purred again, happy to be there with everyone else.

Fennelnose watched the meeting unfold, keeping their mouth shut. At Mistyheart's outburst, they shook their head in irritation. You have to obey what the leader says, even if it isn't to your best interest. And they doubted that Lionstar even cared what Mistyheart had to say about his new name. At least Dawnbreak accepted it without complaint.

They stood up at the end of the meeting and weaved their way out of the throng of cats, making their way to the entrance of the camp. Fennelnose's ears twitched, picking up Palepaw's complaints. Didn't Lionstar say that he had "matured significantly" or something? They frowned, but didn't think any more of it after they left the clearing.
