Leafkit's Apprentice Ceremony

[Schultz]

Shadowstar cleared his throat, "Let all those old enough to find their way through the fog come together for a clan meeting." He was glad that Leafkit was finally going to be an apprentice, and knew that Crowfeather was going to be a fine mentor just as she had always been a good friend. The shadow-eyed tom waited for his clan to assemble for the apprentice ceremony.

» C R O W F E A T H E R ; ; The sly medicine cat beamed with excitement as she listened to her leader caterwauling for the clan to assemble. Today was the day StarClan graced her with an apprentice and what a perfect gift for having to survive the horrible leafbare. The clan would need it's strength if it was going to fatten back up. Every inch of her body tingled with the building anticipation as she was sure Leafkit's was. She thought back to her very own apprentice ceremony many many moons ago... Crowfeather said a silent thanks to StarClan and Oakthorn, the ones who had made her what she was today.

Quicksilver shook out his pelt and padded into camp, just in time it seemed. He had finished patrolling the border along Ashclan and had heard Shadowstar's call to gather just as he was coming in. He padded over to the clearing and settled down, curious as to what was going on.

Leafpaw

The young she-cat sat in the crowd her tail flicked nervously to the side all the clan was here to see her become Crowfeather’s apprentice. She thought she would calm down when Shadowstar started speaking but that only made her more nervous. It had seemed so easy when other kits where called up to be apprenticed but now she realised that this would be her future as a medicine cat she had always wanted to help her clan and this was one of the best ways.

She took a deep breath looking first to Shadowstar and to her new mentor she promised herself to learn everything Crowfeather had to teach her.

The black and white tom waited until his clan was gathered together, he took a deep breath and addressed his clan. "It is the duty and honor of a clan leader to give a kit their 'paw name," he began, "Leafkit, from this day forward you shall be known as Leafpaw." He closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened them looking at one cat in particular. "Crowfeather, you have been Fogclan's medicine cat for many moons. I pray that Starclan will give Leafpaw the strength and wisdom she will need. You will be Leafpaw's mentor."

» C R O W F E A T H E R ; ; Crowfeather sighed a heavy sigh of relief. Today was the day the burdens of the clan lay upon two, not just one. "FogClan, you have been my home for many moons but I shall not be here forever. Leafpaw," she said, her voice carrying much excitement, "You have shown great interest and skill in the ways of a medicine cat and I know you shall serve your clan and StarClan to the best of your ability. At half-moon, we shall meet with StarClan." She hovered her smaller apprentice and pressed her nose against Leafpaw's.

Leafpaw

She’d be going to meet with StarClan! Leafpaw purred pressing her nose against her new mentor excitement in her eyes. She had seen apprentice ceremonies before and knowing that it was now her turn she could not believe it. Every cat in the clan was looking at her but she tried to keep calm keeping her eyes on her mentor.

[Schultz]

Shadowstar purred warmly at the sight of the newly named Leafpaw greeting her mentor Crowfeather for the first time. She would be a wonderful medicine cat apprentice, and he knew Starclan and Crowfeather would teach her well. "May Starclan watch over you both as you begin your medicine cat journey, Leafpaw"
