Cricketsting jumped as high as he could. Yelling the three names, with the last being as loud as a mocking bird. “Whitesnake, Bluefang, LITTLESTREAM!” His yellow pads stomped against the ground as if he was no longer a single cat but a stampede of dogs. He repeated the names over and over with excitement and joy.
He got an apprentice. His young sister is now a warrior. And her mentor was promoted to deputy! What could go wrong?
Char Site updated (10/11/22), added Blazingpaw and Goldenkit!
During most or few roleplays, I will do a flashback that was conjured in my characters' thoughts. Please do not respond to the flashback unless you have the power to read minds or smth.
Antlerstreak made sure to be gentle as he tapped his nose against the apprentice’s, a slight smile on his face, “Bluebellpaw, as long as you do your best and are visibly making an effort, you won’t disappoint me. I promise,” He meowed, remembering that the same promise had been made to him not too too long ago by Quailstone, who had indeed kept it.
Antlerstreak, ever perceptive, noticed they the apprentice got slightly embarrassed after his question, and he felt pity, not anger, as he knew what she’d tell him. “Bluebellcrackle? She didn’t teach you a thing? You didn’t have one session? Bummer,” Antlerstreak replied, “No matter, I’ll get you to your Warrior ceremony in a timely manner, you’ll see. Now, how about we go out for a training session soon as this meeting ends, alright? Your choice of what we do.”
BLUEBELLPAW
"Okay," she said softly. "Thank you." She thought for a moment. What would she like to do? She'd never thought about it much. "Uhrm... maybe the tour, or some basic battle training would be nice," she gave a tentative smile.
Turning back to the Streamstone, she watched excitedly as Bluepaw, Whitelaw, and Littlepaw all got their warrior names. She knew the older apprentices has been waiting for this day; maybe one day, she's get her's too, now that Antlerstreak was training her.
"Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream!" She chanted along with the clan.
Amberpaw shouted their names, hoping to give them every bit of recognition they surely deserved.

I felt falling and Alone. I'd never grow old and decided. It wasn’t time to go.
As the ship roared past, I stayed. As I had come. Lost. Alone. Empty.
Somewhere. Something. Had brought me here. But what?
Antlerstreak listened to her as Bluebellpaw told him what she wanted to do, and he nodded, “Okay, excellent. We’ll do the tour, and then a bit of battle training, just enough for you to learn to defend yourself for now. Later, I’ll teach you all I know.”
Antlerstreak then turned to face the Streamstone, just as the new Warriors’ names were called out, “Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream! Congratulations!” He yowled, beaming with pride in the three new Warriors. One day, He thought brightly, that will be Bluebellpaw, and then later, my own kits.

Whitesnake gave a slight grin at her name, considering how badass it was. Honestly, she thought she was worthy of a name like it after all the work she'd put in over her apprenticeship, and this was a fantastic reward. "Bluefang! Littlestream!" Whitesnake said, giving some respect to her peers, they seemed to be some-what hardworking cats from what she'd noticed, so they deserved a cheer. After all that was said and done, she left to continue her daily routine of keeping her fur pretty and waiting until someone called on her to do something so she could complain.
She uneasily called out the new warrior names. "Whitesnake, Bluefang, Littlestream!"
The tortoiseshell didn't like the loud. And the sound of cats calling out names was very loud, so that didn't help. She kneaded the ground with her paws, calming herself. She was fine. New mentor, new warriors, good for RiverClan. Good. She took a deep breath, then looked for Beestream again.

"Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream!" Sparrowpaw chanted quietly, her shyness getting ahead of her.
Egretpaw cheered the names of the new warriors, happy for them. Maybe one of them will be my new mentor. The tom decided to find an apprentice to maybe spar with after the meeting.

Reedwhisker huffed quietly as Pikestar's mood seemed to change. He was no longer happy, he was... angry. She had never seen the tom get angry, so this whole reassignment thing was a problem. The young warrior's eyes widened with surprise as he continued to list off names. These warriors need to get their act together! The brown she-cat tried her best to not yowl in shock at the situation with mentors not training their apprentices.
As reassignments were handed out, she looked at Pikestar and each of the cats that were called out. To her surprise, Larkpaw was given to her to train alongside Rowanpaw. I've had two apprentices before, this'll be easy! I just have to see how much training Larkpaw has had... "Larkpaw, over here!" she beckoned the young tom over to her with a lash of her tail. "I'm Reedwhisker, we'll be training together from this point forward. Did you receive any training from your previous mentor?"
Although the warrior typically asked this question at the start of training, Reedwhisker thought it was best to show her denmates that training an apprentice was important. I'm sure Pikestar will discuss the importance of training later... if not, then I just hope these warriors learned their lesson. The apprentices are the future of the Clan, just like kits are.
"And don't worry, I'll make sure you get plenty of training. How far are you into your apprenticeship?"
After Larkpaw has answered her questions, Reedwhisker turned her attention back to the meeting and took note of Beestream and her apprentices. Oh, Beestream is mentoring Cinderpaw and Dappledpaw! How funny Cinderpaw gets mentored by her sister like Flintfang had with Silverpaw! And Drizzlepaw has Fogcloud as a mentor now, good. At least my daughters are going to get training. a light chuckle escaped her jaws, though she made sure to keep it quiet in order to not disturb the meeting.

He listened attentively to what Pikestar was saying. The leader seemed a little frustrated at the amount of apprentices whose mentors had been slacking. Larkpaw really couldn't blame him, he was frustrated about it too. Finally he heard his name, twice in the span of a few minutes.
Their training was assigned to Reedwhisker. They didn't know molly, only of her. But she seemed like a good enough warrior, already training an apprentice, one that didn't have to step forward. They made their way towards their new mentor.
"I'm Reedwhisker, we'll be training together from this point forward. Did you receive any training from your previous mentor? And don't worry, I'll make sure you get plenty of training. How far are you into your apprenticeship?" She asked, and he took a moment to gather his thoughts before speaking.
"No." He answered simply before moving on to her next question. "Two months. I've received a border tour, and battle training."
He had started his training much later than most, as he was already 10 moons old. But he planned on making up for it by finishing his training as soon as possible. Hopefully Reedwhisker could help him achieve that.
