Lionpaw's Warrior Ceremony

[Silverstar]

( I did this cause Lionpaw is very busy and I don't want him to have to think of training.)

"All cats old enough to caught there prey, gather under the big rock for a ceremony." Silverstar started. She knew that Lionpaw had done well and decided to make him a warrior. "Lionpaw, do you promise to protect your Clan even at the cost of your life?"

*I do

"Then from now on you will be known as Lionfire." Silverstar meowed. She touched noses with her apprentice and then stepped back. "Your Vigil is tonight." She whispered into his ear.

[Waterclaw]

"Lionfire!" Waterclaw yelled. She was so proud of Lionpaw, though he wasn't her apprentice. He was a great guy and a great fighter. She smiled at him and smiled at her leader. She did a great job mentoring her apprentice.

[Smokepaw]

"Lionfire! Lionfire!" Smokepaw shouted with the others. She knew that would be her soon enough. She knew it was important for her so that she would be accepted into the clan, but she didn't get it. Changing names all the time confused her.

[Loinfire]

The fire-furred tom threw his head up in triumph, puffing out his chest proudly he leapt down from the rock and swaggered into the crowd.

“Thanks.” He mewed to Waterclaw, only slightly abashed at her praise, in truth the cheers of the other cats caused his heart (and ego!) to swell.

Lionfire moved over to thank Smokepaw. “Oh, it’s easy, really. You’ll be up and trained in no time Smokepaw.” He explained light-heartedly, although, admittedly training was anything but easy. The amount of hard work and effort that went into becoming a warrior worthy enough to protect his Clan was extreme.

He had no doubts that Smokepaw wouldn’t achieve her goal very soon, she was a strong cat and a good fighter with a rogue past behind her.

Word Count: 128

[Smokepaw]

"Sure, whatever." Smokepaw said with a shrug. She was admittedly a little jealous of him and the respect he has earned. Despite all her doubts, she was curios about what her name would be.

(sorry its short)

[Waterclaw]

"Yes Smokepaw will become a warrior soon. She is becoming a great battler. She has great skills and is a wonderful hunter to. You should have seen her yesterday, catching almost all the mice in the forest and her fighting skills are even better. She almost beat me when we were fighting. Just marvelous." Waterclaw said smiling at her apprentice.

[Smokepaw]

Smokepaw soaked up the praise in an odd fashion. She ducked her head low and denied it. Her pelt was hot and she was embarresed of her mentor's praise.

I"I'm not that good, really. Your exaterating." Smokepaw said, though she tried to hide that she was beaming.

[Waterclaw]

"Yes you are.Don't deny it, you did do all I said and soon you will become a warrior." Waterclaw said to her young apprentice. She smiled and then touched noses with Lionfire. "See you in the morning Lionfire!" said Waterclaw while she walked into the warrior's den.

[Smokepaw]

"Hmm." Smokepaw said, examining her paws, showing she was finished with this discussion. She was still doubtful, wondering if Waterclaw was just trying to impress Lionfire. She watched Waterclaw say her goodbye, and touch him on the nose. Smokepaw knew he was going to have a long night, a silent vigil. She took her cue. "Good luck Lionfire." Smokepaw said padding away with a flick of her tail. She disappeared into the apprentice's den.

[Posiepaw]

Posiepaw bounded into the clearing just coming back from hunting in the forest. She had one mouse in her jaws. Dropping the mouse on the pile she brought her head up to see Lionpaw. Padding forward she heard people chanting "Lionfire!" She froze in her tracks he's Lionfire now? Feeling a great sadness that her brother was moving into another den tonight she sighed he always was older than me anyways
