As effortless as the many times before, the brown tabby leader leaped up onto the Skyrock and without a moments hesitation bellowed out a hearty yowl that could be heard from anywhere within the camp and even a small ways into the territory, just in case some cats were close by and could be beckoned back into camp to hear the ceremony he was about to address.
"Cats of Skyclan will you please meet beneath the Skyrock for a clan meeting!"
Another kit was ready to become an apprentice and he wanted to give them as much attention as any other considering they were the only kit at the moment being apprenticed.
Waiting patiently for his clan to gather, he would give them a minute or two before continuing.
"A certain kit has reached the age of six moons and is ready to be apprenticed and there is a warrior that is ready to take on an apprentice of their own. Eveningkit { @Pathos }, and Moonfrost { @Liquoris }, will you two step forward please."
With the names being called, he would wait for the two of them to stop forward, his emerald eyes calm and warm and a smile to match his gaze was fixated on his lips.

The lightly-shaded feline lifted her head high as she stepped forward, yet still allowed for Eveningkit to be the center of attention. After all, this ceremony was not for her; she'd had her two. The feline remembered back to when she was apprenticed. The name her owners stuck her with kept with her when she came to Skyclan, but with the added suffix of Frost, Moonfrost felt she had been born here in the clan. She was grateful that her clanmates were so understanding about her heritage as she glanced around, waiting for Eveningkit to emerge from the crowd of cats.

The best word that could describe Eveningkit's emotions was frozen. She had been sitting in the clearing, mesmerized by the busy routine of the Clan, not expecting her ceremony to come so soon. As her name was called, all she could do was glance back towards the nursery and wonder if her mother was in there, or if she was in the crowd gathering in the clearing. The realization that she was becoming a warrior apprentice—and would be opened to a whole new world of possibility—hadn't dawned on her yet, so all she was left with was a twinge of surprise at being the only kit apprenticed. Of course, with that came a steadily growing feeling of anxiety: everyone would be watching her. What if she tripped on her way over to Grousestar, or what if she forgot to touch noses with her new mentor? Was she even supposed to do that? What if Moonfrost didn't like her later in apprenticeship and decided to give her up?

Still, she noticed too late that she had been staring up at her leader with wide eyes for a few seconds after he had finished speaking. Thankfully, her mouth had not been agape—that would've been embarrassing! Rising to her feet, she slipped through the crowd and made her way into the front, hastily fixing a bit of fur on her shoulder before gazing back up at Grousestar. Her attention was diverted only for a few seconds as she glanced over at Moonfrost, blinking at how much taller she was then Eveningkit. Wow, the young Somali thought, but her interest in her new mentor was fleeting; she cared more about if her mother was watching than her mentor or even the ceremony itself. It would... definitely put a damper on her mood, if Sunsetsong was not present. But she couldn't look back to check, anyway: there were just too many cats!

With the two cats that he beckoned for now present, the Skyclan leader would focus his attention on them, that smile of his remaining on his muzzle as he began the ceremony words.
"Eveningkit, you have reached the age of six moons and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Eveningpaw. Your mentor will be Moonfrost. I hope Moonfrost passes down all she knows onto you." With those words having been spoken, his emerald gaze would then turn to Moonfrost.
"Moonfrost, you are ready to take on an apprentice of your own. You will be the mentor of Eveningpaw and I hope that you pass down all of your knowledge onto her."
Grousestar dips his head lightly at the newly named apprentice and mentor, allowing them to touch noses and for the crowd of their clanmates to cheer the apprentice's new name before finally drawing it to a close.
"That will conclude this clan meeting!"
And with that, the tom would descend from the rock and return to his den for a small while.

@ChameweonRainbow
This ceremony was unlike any other he had done, in fact, this was the first time he had done a ceremony such as this and he truly hoped he would never have to do it again. It saddened him to think that he was losing a good warrior today, but he would respect their decision. So, with a pained but happy look on his face, the brown tabby leaped up onto the Skyrock to address his clan.
"Cats of Skyclan will you please meet beneath the Skyrock for a clan meeting!"
Like usual, he would wait a minute or so for the cats below him to gather, and hopefully the cat in mind would also be there, he figured he would be, but there was still doubt that he had left before he had the chance to escort him out of the territory himself.
"You all may be wondering why I have called you together today. There is no kit becoming an apprentice, or apprentice becoming a warrior, or a warrior becoming a warrior. This is a chance to say your final farewells to a fellow warrior. Neverfalter, will you please step forward?"
Grousestar would wait for the named tom to step forward before continuing.
"It is with a heavy heart that I must say he wishes to live the life of our clan. He will no longer be a warrior of Skyclan, but a loner and will in turn no longer be allowed on the territory or to hunt on our grounds. Take this time to say your farewells to him and once you are done, I will escort him out of the territory."
Nodding his head a bit, he'd lick his lips a bit before jumping off of the Skyrock to wait for the cats of Skyclan to say goodbye to their friend and fellow warrior, the tom sitting down and curling his tail over his paws.

Neverfalter padded up towards the front of the Skyrock. For once he didn't seem like a terrified kit, he looked lighter and more confident as if a weight had been lifted from his heart. His paws no longer shook with trepidation at each step, and he no longer slunk along the ground miserably. He looked up at his leader, his blue and green eyes shown with melancholy and gratitude.
He would never forget his clan as long as he lived, he would always remember the den he was born in, the forests he trained in, and the cats he lived with.

He blinked slowly in silent thanks, before turning back to the clan. He took a deep breath as his gaze swept across the cats of Skyclan, his eyes glittered like stars as they shone with tears. They were not tears of fear, nor pain. They were tears that were filled with love and sadness, but also hope. "Cats of Skyclan," he began. His voice was no longer shaky, but calm like the sound of a gentle summer breeze. "As Grousestar has told you, I have decided that I wish to leave the clan. I'm sorry that I must leave you all, but I feel that the clan is not my place. You will never see me again, but do not feel bad. It was none of your faults. I'm not mad at any of you and I will never forget the place I grew up. So... this is goodbye." With a sad sigh, the three-legged tom sat down at the base of the Skyrock and waited to be escorted away after the meeting was over.

Neverfalter looked out over his soon to be old home. He gazed sadly as he watched the familiar trees blow softly as if the forest was saying goodbye as well.

Licking his lips as he made his way up to the peak of the Skyrock to call the clan together, he could feel happiness welling within him again, to know that there were young cats ready to become apprentices, an apprentice ready to become a warrior and a cat to be introduced as a true Skyclan warrior. It wasn't hard to make Grousestar happy, he tended to find happiness in the smallest of things, but lately he's felt much stress on his shoulders, still unsure of what the Syndicate was up to. Were they falling to shambles after their defeat? Or were they recuperating stronger than ever to strike back in revenge? He couldn't help but think about it, it often taking up most of his thoughts at night. But for now, he would have to stop thinking about it. There were ceremonies to conduct!
Clearing his throat, the brown tabby then proceeded to yowl out the familiar words to draw his clan together for these ceremonies.
"Cats of Skyclan will you please meet beneath the Skyrock for a clan meeting!"
Sitting down at the top of the stone, he would wait for the clan to gather before starting with the ceremonies, his eyes searching for the particular cats who's ceremony would be conducted today, a smile placed lightly on his muzzle and his emerald eyes glimmering lightly with pride and happiness.

As Grousestar called the clan together, Briar jumped to her feet and hurried to settle herself at the edge of the crowd. Her eyes shone with excitement, though she also looked nervous. The fluffy she-cat knew that she had a long way to go before she could truly fit into the clan, but she was grateful that Grousestar had given her this chance. Ever since she had left her housefolk, she had hoped to find a clan that would take her in. She had spent seasons listening to stories of them, and she wanted to be just as brave.

She hadn't regretted leaving her housefolk to live in the wild. It had been difficult at first, learning how to hunt and defend herself from danger, but it gave her a sense of life that she had never had in the twolegplace. Despite her nervousness, she knew this was where she belonged.

As she glanced around at the other cats gathering around, she curled her tail over her paws and took a deep breath. She would prove herself to Skyclan, and make this place her home. She was no longer so plump as she had been as a kittypet. Still, she worried about what the clan would think of her, for the easy life of twolegplace still clung to her. Nervous that the gathering cats might be curious about the stranger in their midst, she lifted her head a bit and attempted to look more confident than she felt. She was usually not so conscious about other's thoughts about her, but she wanted to make a good impression. She would be a part of these cats, and she had to prove that she was worthy of their respect. She would prove it. She would not give them a reason to regret accepting her into Skyclan.
