Flintfang
He/Him

Stepping up so that he stood in the row directly behind the line of to-be-apprentices, Flintfang flashed the closest one, Swallowkit, a winning grin. "Hiya squirt! Smile for me, will ya?" He asked, tail swishing against the ground. "It's your big day after all!"

[ maple. - Swallowkit / No need to reply to this! :heartbounce: I just wanted Flint to show this poor darling some emotional support ]

[BEAR.]

"Psst!" Stonehollow's voice was a whisper as he slide over to Bouncepaw. He was a little late to the meeting party, on account of spending some time looking for just the right pebble. "Surprise exercise! Pass this along - stealth-like." He rolled the marbled stone over to Bouncepaw's beans. Hopefully they'd be able to hit most, if not all of the cats attending. Team building!

[Faith.]

Shatteredsun
He/him

The gold and black tabby watched as Pikestar summoned the five kits over to him. Shatteredsun wondered if he would ever get an apprentice, or if Pikestar thought of him as able to properly teach. He watched with mild interest, as only one of the kits had come so far.

[Silverfur & Co]

Featherspirit and Snowstripe both smiled at the kits and knew they were becoming apprentices

[panchiko]

Koikit had been a little zoned out but at the mention of his sister's name, he was brought back to Earth. YEAAAA!! That was his sibling! Becoming an apprentice already! He was a little sad that she got to it before he did, but that was more or less his own fault. Ro deserved it - Koikit would be an apprentice in time, and maybe he could get Ro to teach him some cool apprentice stuff. Anyway, he was excited for her. He shined a smile at Rowankit from through the crowd, adding a little nod of encouragement. Go Ro, kick butt <3

// judas u dont hav 2 reply but this is Here

[Caspian]

Bouncepaw snapped out of his thoughts and smiled, “Okay” he looked down, “You found a nice pebble” he commented BEAR.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Swiftflight watched

peachpaw listened and watched

Cinderpaw Listened until they got to apprentice ceremony the molly closed her eyes ans she could take the torture of remembering her best friend that died the molly got up and went to the apprentice den as she didn't want to be at the ceremony remembering her friend at the same time* not now i cannot be here im sorry riverclan* she thought as she left

[CInderpaw has left the meeting]

Echoblue listened

[sol.]

Bouncepaw smiled at the news of new apprentices, only to fade at the thought he hadn’t had any experience in a moon. He envied how the new apprentices would at least get a tour but he hadn’t. His gaze flicked over to his paws and remained there. Cold. Silent. And feeling empty on the inside. He had no purpose…

-Bluebellpaw-

She walked over to her friend. "Hiya, Bouncepaw," she whispered happily, before squeaking a small hello to the warrior (Stonehollow?). "Why're you looking so glum? Mudkit's becoming an apprentice today!"

He looked at Bluebellpaw, his blue gaze was tired and cold. “I know he is, and I’m happy for him, we get to be apprentices together!” he forced a smile, “And, I haven’t even gotten a tour yet. And I’m seven moons Bluebellpaw!” a small tear formed in his eye, “I don’t know how I can be of use. I do absolutely nothing all day!” he whimpered quietly

The lilac queen smiled mildly. One of these days she'd watch her own kits make the same journey as these kits were about to do.

| small dilute calico she-cat with green eyes |

The small calico heard steps behind her, turning to see a grey cat standing behind her. He smiled at her, and she just continued to stare, silent. Smile? Why? What do I have to smile about..? Why did he call her squirt? What does that mean??? The small kit furrowed her brow, looking confused. "You're my friend now." She mewed bluntly, before turning back around.

Small paw steps scrambled, hastily making her way towards the meeting. Heart pounding in her chest, as if it would jump out and run away at any moment. She'd been late, only sightly. Her fur roughly groomed, but she still stuck out like a sore thumb compared to the others. She brushed her way through the cats, scattered 'pardons' and 'excuse mes' left her paw. She was almost sure she'd stepped on another cat's tail at some point, but there wasn't time for that now. Rowan would make up her excuses and apologize later.
Finally she'd arrived, scooting her way next to the other kits. Her cheeks flushed with the slightest embarassment. She seemed out of place here, and the fact that Koikit wasn't joining her made the young molly's heart ache.

Bright eyes peered up at the leader, unsure if he'd noticed her tardiness. Rowankit wasn't exactly sure if he'd even taken notice to her, but decided to mouth a small "Sorry Pikestar!" to the leader just incase. Her eyes were wide, looking at the crowd for any sort of familar face. Particularly that of her new found protector, Fogcloud. Who's kind words had allowed the cat to work up the courage to be here. Small paws tapped the bottom of the stone, her body constantly fidgeting.

Rowankit set her eyes on Koikit, smiling nervously. She nodded back at her brother, pride filling her heart at his excitement. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad?

Her eyes wondered, looking at the field of warriors ahead. Rowan knew a few of them, others were fuzzy in her memory. She decided to focus on one cat in particular who seemed to be whispering to another cat. What was that he was passing to the other? A pebble? That was.. interesting. I bet it would be real easy just to snatch that pebble and eat it.

[BEAR.]

Stonehollow could understand why Bouncepaw considered himself useless. Passing a pebble was a pretty simple task, and Bouncepaw completely disregarded it in favor of commenting on its looks and whining to Bluebellpaw. Being largely ignored actually stung a bit, but Stonehollow kept a neutral expression as he reached to pluck the stone back. If Bouncepaw didn't want to play along, that was fine - he'd find someone else to humor him. "Lighten up, being so stony isn't going to do you any good, kid!" Without having much more to say, he nodded in greeting to Bluebellpaw before he weaseled away.

[ Caspian, lonely.lilyx ]

On the prowl for a new playmate, Stonehollow hatched an idea. He found another small rock near the edge of camp and collected it before he returned to the crowd. He'd up the stakes for this!

He spied his targets in the crowd, and made his way over to the first, whom he recognized as Pebblefoot. Thankfully, Cricketsting was closeby - perfect. He beckoned to them erratically to get their attention, before sliding both stones over to each: the marbled rock went to Pebblefoot, while the shiny stone went to Cricketsting. "We're gonna play a game, okay? It'll be a team building exercise-- nothing too crazy! Cricketsting, I want you to go on the other side of the crowd. We're going to pass these pebbles: our goal is to get one to Mistycloud without getting caught, and before the other group does."

There wasn't much to offer in terms of reward, so he didn't include that for the time being. If cats cared, he'd figure something out-- he just wasn't like, a somebody who could make promises. He wasn't a high or special rank, he was just Stonehollow. "Let's gooo!!" Oop, maybe that was a little louder than he intended. Man, all this whispering was hard!!!

Mistycloud watched the three from afar and nodded at Stonehollow. She was ready on the other side of the clearing waiting for the stone/rock from one of them. Her eyes reflected the light from the sky and she looked around the clearing. The warrior shifted in her spot to get comfortable. Mistycloud sneezed as she sat down.

[MockingRabbit]

Troutstone looked around. He watched each kit as they would make their over to the stream stone.

[sol.]

He looked at Bluebellpaw, his blue gaze was tired and cold. “I know he is, and I’m happy for him, we get to be apprentices together!” he forced a smile, “And, I haven’t even gotten a tour yet. And I’m seven moons Bluebellpaw!” a small tear formed in his eye, “I don’t know how I can be of use. I do absolutely nothing all day!” he whimpered quietly


-Bluebellpaw-

Huh. Seven moons and still no tour? Well, she hadn't had one either, but Bluebellcrackle was going away, so she was getting a new mentor. "Oh, Bouncepaw, there's no use whining about it. Who's your mentor, anyway? Go find them and ask for a tour. Or, talk to Pikestar to see if you can get a reassignment." She looked up, seeing Stonrhollow whisk away, and that he had taken the stone with him. She hadn't heard most of the conversation, but she recalled something along the lines of Sronhollow wanting Bouncepaw to pass the stone along? Like... a nursery game?

Well, nursery games were fun, a part of her reasoned, and she sighed. Fun. Just what the clan needed to loosen up. She turned back to Bouncepaw. "Don't be upset, Bouncepaw- I haven't had a tour yet either. Miss Bluebellcrackle is leaving, so I have to get a new mentor anyhow." She stared over at Stonehollow, who had found a new group of cats to play with. "Oh, and you ought to apologize to Mr. Stonehollow too. Its not polite to ignore others."

“Hey, Stonehollow, I’m sorry for ignoring you, I don’t know why I did so” he looked at his paws in somewhat shame

[Spotty]

Crowkit

Somewhere at the misty edges of her mind, Crowkit had been aware her ceremony was approaching, and the meaningless days of her kithod were nearing their ends as she would be renamed and assigned duties. It was the mentor part she dreaded the most because with the exception of Blizzardwind and maybe Birdpaw, she found few cats worth being around at all. But now she would be forced to spend several training sessions with them, and without a doubt have to use her words sooner or later. With some luck and the help of a few dusshootinging stars, she might be assigned to someone less annoying. Bad fortune on her part, however, and these moons would become a misery to endure.

But the large, black kit was hardly given a choice in the water whether or not to be apprenticed, considering the law of the clans as well as the leader, and all her clanmates would be against her if she tried to prevent the torturess period. Crowkit rarely laughed or changed from the gloamingly unreadable expression she wore like a mask stitched onto her face, but something akin of a dry, and almost amused scoff pressed in her chest at the thought of her, a measly, ragged kit trotting up and standing in defiance of all the forces against her right now. How humorous wouldn't the sight of someone with her appearance placing themselves in front of the leader and declaring that no, they wouldn't follow along with the path placed out for them be? Surely that would amuse the older warriors slightly, and maybe even ear a laugh at her expense before they came up with some kind of punishment for that kind of foolishness.

Since her feelings would hardly be considered, the colossal shape of midnight-colored fur rose onto it's paws and moved towards the Streamstone like a loaming dark ghost before stopping at the foot of the leader, looking up at him with a focused, unwavering yellow gaze.

[perseus.]

☄. *. ⋆ Fogcloud

Fogcloud ears perked at the names of kits being called and a smile lifted onto the tabbies maw as they heard Rowankit being called and had seen the kit walk forward and seemed to be looking around.

The silver tabby came out from her spot so Rowankit could see her, and she mouthed, "You got this, and I'm proud of you." They had known of the kits worries about become an apprentice but the new shield would do anything in their power to make sure the apprentice would be protected.

[SpiritedWarrior]

The warrior took that quiet and contained laugh as both a yes and a ‘that’s a funny pun!’. Cricketsting purred and turned his eyes back on Pikestar. Besides the young missing medicine cat, the leader announced the new deputy and the new shields.

“Way to go, Gingerfrost! You will be a cool deputy!” ( for you, Estelle :heartbounce: ) Puns aside, Cricketsting meant it. The younger warrior was a good choice. “Becoming a warrior and having your mentor become deputy on the same day. You must be blessed by Warrior Luck!” he murmured to Littlepaw. Although Cricketsting never met the new shields before, he nodded in agreement to what the soon-to-be warrior had said.

Littlepaw chuckled, hearing Cricketsting's pun. It always made her smile hearing puns and the thought of Gingerfrost being told a pun was hilarious to her. Since her mentor was always so grumpy, it was hard to imagine him laughing or joining in with pun-making.

"You think so?" she laughed. "I like this "warrior luck"! I wonder what Gingerfrost thinks!"

--------------------------------------

Reedwhisker sat up straighter, more relaxed now that the deputy and shields have been announced. Perhaps after this meeting, she'd double-check with Pikestar about being the peacekeeper in the Clan now that all the shield spots have been filled. But that was not important right now, what was important was all the apprentice ceremonies that would be taking place now. There seemed to be a lot during this meeting, but that was okay. After all, it was more paws to help defend and hunt for the Clan!

[WinterMara]

| Whitepaw of Riverclan |

Ah, new apprentices were being made, although, it wasn't exactly rare in Riverclan. Honestly, she had no memory of her apprentice ceremony, and she didn't know whether it was due to how long ago it was, or if she just didn't care. Either way, a genuine smile formed on her face, with some time to mature, she did at least find something to enjoy in meetings, even if it may not be ideal for everyone ever.

Fishkit
___________


Fishkit had been watching the events that unfolded during the meeting with little interest. He watched a painfully sickening interaction between some warrior and an apprentice which led to a lot of yelling and eventually the older warrior was exiled. He listened as the new shields were announced, warriors were given their new names, etc. His attention was held for a moment when he heard Fawnpaw was missing, but he was only mildly concerned and only because she had apparently been there shortly after his birth.

Now. It was his turn. He smiled to himself for a moment when Pikestar called his name but quickly pulled his features into neutrality. He couldn’t allow these lackeys notice that he was excited. He had known all along that his ceremony would be today, he had waited long enough, but with all the events that had happened during the meeting, he had begun to lose his nerve. ’Today I will become an apprentice’ he thought to himself proudly. He wondered if his mother would be proud of him, or if she would just say that it was expected. Whatever the case may be, all that he cared about was how he’d finally be able to be out of the noisy nursery that he had up to this point stayed in miserably.

Fishkit didn’t have any friends, and he didn’t really spend a whole lot of time with his siblings either so he didn’t expect to have anyone of note cheer his name, or whisper brief encouragements as he walked up. So he didn’t bother seeking anyone out. Why would he? These cats had seen plenty of kits being named apprentices during their lifetimes and he was no exception. Eyes straight ahead, the blue-grey tabby tom walked towards the stone his leader stood upon with an air of dignity around him. He would not be made to appear like a fool for misstepping and slipping or look like he was going to burst from excitement (the latter of which he was). He was going to look badass while he made his way to Pikestar and he was going to accept nothing less.

Carefully placing his paws, he held his chin high as he approached their leader. ’Wow’ he thought to himself, looking up at the tall cat in front of him ’He’s a lot bigger up close’. He scanned Pikestar’s face for some kind of encouragement and his eyes widened for a brief moment when he realized the tom was missing an eye. ’That is so cool! I wonder how he lost it’ pondering for a moment an idea crossed the young kit’s mind, I wonder if I lost an eye if I’d be as cool as Pikestar’. Blinking as he realized he was staring, he briefly cast a glance at the other soon-to-be apprentices around him before bringing his attention back to Pikestar.

[Estelle]

In his, almost, daze as he began to process everything, look cast out in front, partially listening to the continuing meeting. His ear flicked when a warrior came up to congratulate him, to which he gave a polite nod before turning away again [ Silvershadow13 ]. Somewhere he heard the recognisable voice of Littlepaw scream out - you could say he almost felt embarrassed (as if that showed), but... He couldn't seem to find irritation in the scream this time. It felt... Different, much like Cricketsting's pun, albeit the usually lethargic tabby didn't pick up on that. He merely looked their way, giving a nod as his gaze lingered on the two for a brief moment before Bluebellpaw came up to him as well [ SpiritedWarrior Dirtfur - Thank you :heartbounce: ]. He cast his gaze down on the younger molly, giving her too a nod of thanks. Hah, he wasn't sure how to handle all these congratulations - it rarely happened, who could blame him? [ lonely.lilyx ]

As the meeting continued, he looked back up to the dark-furred leader, most notably when the new shields got announced. A quick look over those selected, and the now former shield chanted the names along with the rest of the clan. While he wasn't very familiar with Raccoonear or Fogcloud (other than the ex-RiverClanner's situation just now), he did recall Moonfrost stepping in with that one intruder; one of the few who had their head on straight during that moment. Thus he didn't consider the three bad choices. Following the newly appointed shields, were apprentice ceremonies. Here it was kits getting promoted, their excitement was often unparalleled (and tiring, when they began screaming or bouncing around).

[Captain]

Tilting his head to the side ever so slightly, the large RiverClan tomcat watched as the kittens that he had called forward slowly began to made their way towards the base of the Streamstone. The first one, Pikestar noticed, was little Swallowkit. Another cat in the crowd, whose voice he’d place as belonging to Flintfang, was quick to show his support to the young molly. She was, no doubt, nervous as many clan kits often were on the day of their apprentice ceremony. Pikestar was quite thankful though, for those in RiverClan who stepped up to reassure any worries that their youths have. Soon after that, the large oriental would catch sight of Rowankit steadily making her way through the crowd. A tad late to the meeting itself, but ever so punctually present for her apprentice ceremony. How convenient. Seeing the white-and-red kitten peer up at him and mouth a quick apology, Pikestar smiled slightly, nodding to Rowankit in a reassuring manner. He even went as far as mouthing a silent ‘you’re okay’ back to the youth from his place atop the Streamstone. Life was far too short, and there had been too much dreariness in the world lately, for him to get upset over something so small.

Mudkit and Crowkit joined the group moments later. One seeming more than excited, and the other, well, not so much. Pikestar often wondered how this bunch of young clanmates would grow throughout their life in RiverClan. How different would they be compared to now and then at their warrior ceremony? And, as sad as it sounds, the RiverClan leader couldn’t help but wonder if every kitten present would make it that far. A momentary flash of the battle at Firefly Cove appeared in his mind, but he blinked it away, not wanting to ruin such a special occasion with awful events. Last, but certainly not least, to appear was Fishkit, who approached the Streamstone with a look of wonder and awe evident in his gaze. Now that was something that did warm Pikestar’s heart to see. He wondered briefly if he would’ve been the same way if he had been born into RiverClan. Pikestar, long ago, had been named an apprentice at eleven moons old, under Sootstar’s reign. He could hardly remember what that time had been like, hardly being the same cat now that he was back then. Oh well.

“Swallowkit, Rowankit, Mudkit, Crowkit and Fishkit.” Pikestar spoke firmly as he blinked at each of the kittens before him, his voice full of pride and warmth, “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 Swallowpaw, Rowanpaw, Mudpaw, Crowpaw and Fishpaw.” He paused for a long moment, to let the young ones relish in the joy of their brand new names before moving onto the next important part of the ceremony: assigning mentors. Picking out the right cats to shape the young minds of their next generation was no easy task, surely, especially considering how many apprentices were probably going to step up for a reassignment soon enough. However, the large RiverClan tomcat would be sure to not let his clanmates down in that regard in making sure that was taken care of.

“Flintfang ( Kat ), you will be the mentor of Swallowpaw ( maple. ). I expect you to pass on all you know to her.” He meowed, having no trouble at all finding the silver-furred tomcat in the crowd. Seeing them interact only moments before, Pikestar felt like the warrior could make a fine impression on the quiet young molly and steer her in the right direction. If not, well, he only had himself to blame. Next, the dark-furred oriental’s partial gaze found the familiar dark brown pelt of his honorary ‘peace-keeper’ of RiverClan. “Reedwhisker ( SpiritedWarrior ). You were a fine mentor to Nightpaw before she left us to join our ancestors among the stars. I am choosing you to be a mentor once again, this time to young Rowanpaw ( judas ).” The stars were ever so cruel to this warrior, for taking an apprentice so soon from her, and from RiverClan. So Pikestar would grant a second chance to Reedwhisker. Another chance to be the mentor he believed she could be if given the opportunity to prove herself. Only time would tell though.

“Shatteredsun ( Shinestripe ), I believe you are ready to take on an apprentice of your own.” He remarked, nodding his head to the black-and-gold tabby tomcat, “You will be the mentor of Mudpaw ( FredTheFrog ).” The RiverClan leader kept his gaze on the warrior for a moment, almost like he was silently telling Shatteredsun to not let him down. Pikestar had a hard enough time dealing with lazy incompetent clanmates. Moving forward, he’d find his sister among the sea of clanmates below, blinking at the gray-furred shield briefly, attempting to warn her beforehand what was about to occur. “Raccoonear ( reindeer lane ), you’ve been a loyal, hard-working warrior to RiverClan for many moons, and now that you’ve returned to us, I believe it is finally time for you to have an apprentice. I am entrusting you to teach young Crowpaw ( Flea ) all that you know.” It was ceratinly a unique choice on his part, but Pikestar stuck by it, wanting to see where such a pairing could lead. He had already made the obvious decisions at this meeting, so the tall tom had to make things a bit interesting.

“And to finish up today’s apprentice ceremonies… Cricketsting ( Dirtfur ), you will be mentoring Fishpaw ( Darkclaws ).” Pikestar meowed, peering over in the cream-colored warrior's direction, “I am shore you will have no problem teaching him all that you know, puns included.” Stars above, that was the last time Pikestar attempted to make a joke in front of the majority of RiverClan, because now he just felt absolutely dumb. He doubted anyone would catch it anyway, so he took a deep breath and allowed himself to relax for a moment. "Let us all welcome these new apprentices into our ranks!" The long-furred oriental tom exclaimed, deciding to try something new, "Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" Pikestar lead the chant of these newly-promoted clanmates, his voice carrying all through camp as they'd (hopefully) go to sit with their chosen mentors.

[Fawnhearted]

Seedheart cheered loudly for the new apprentices, remembering her own ceremonies that had taken place many leaf-falls ago in Windclan. She gave a small snort at Pikestar's joke, cringing slightly, but her eyes shone in bright admiration for the leader. Seedheart couldn't imagine how hard it had been for the cat, losing Fawnpaw, his sibling and medicine cat, as well as the overwhelming duties of being leader.

Yet, he carried on so strongly and made the best decisions for his clan. The tom truly was amazing at his job, and Seedheart knew he would be a respectful leader and someone young cats could look up to for many seasons.

Seedheart also made a mental note to congratulate her adopted son in becoming a mentor. He looked so excited! She knew he would do a wonderful job.

There were so many kind and amazing cats in Riverclan, and Seedheart was glad to be amongst them.

· · ─────── ·✧· ─────── · ·

Mintpaw sat silently at the back of the crowd, listening carefully to Pikestar's words and observing with patience as every kit received their apprentice name. Concern flashed in her eyes as she realized that the apprentices' den would be even more crowded from tonight on, and she would probably have to push her nest more to make space for the ner arrivals. So much to do. So many shells, pebbles, and reeds to carry with attention.

[MockingRabbit]

Troutstone had to hold back a mew of laughter at Pikestars pun. He loved puns, and having cats around would just make it better. He might have to spend some time with Cricketsting, he might learn a thing or to.
When the clan leader started cheering out the new apprentices names, Troutstone joined it. "Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" StarClan, that was a paw-full.

[sol.]

Bluebellpaw listened to her leader, allowing for a giggle or two to escape her at Pikestar's joke. Dad jokes, really? Ryehawk would never.
She cheered loudly for the apprentices, wanting to go up to greet them, but forcing herself to stay still as a nagging feeling pressed itself into her skull.

Uh oh, did Pikestar forget to reassign her a mentor?

She frowned a little. Be patient, he probably is gonna do reassignment after. Though, if he did forget, Bluebellpaw would mind too much; he had a lot to do afterneeds.



Lilycreek and Kestrelpaw chanted the apprentices' name but don't get screentime because they're dorks.

Swallowki-paw was shaking. She had been so nervous she wouldn't get to this point. She felt tears well in her eyes as she stared up at Pikestar, who named her mentor as Flintfang. She turned to the cat, the one who she had just spoken to and declared her friend, and padded to sit beside him. The feeling she was having was... surreal. She was full of mixed emotions, and was trying to figure them out when a certain silver kitty came to talk to her.

silverpaw

Silverpaw chanted the new apprentices names, one of them who she could now train with! She padded to the tiny calico and nudged her slightly. "Welcome to the crew, kid! I'm Flintfangs other apprentice, Silverpaw!" She gave her brother a small look with a smile on her face. "He may look scary but he's a huge nerd, so don't you worry about him one bit."

Amberbright

|96 Moons|

Amberbright moseyed out to the edge of the clearing where the bulk of her clanmates had gathered. She took up the chant with them just in time, "Swallowpaw! Roanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" So many new apprentices, perhaps the winds are changing. The old calico could not help but feel hope brimming under her mottled tricolor fur. She gave herself several swift licks, as in the light she could tell her fur was particularly messy this day. Amberbright felt herself clinging to that hope, pleading for it to be true. There had been so much stress and worry lately. She knew life was rarely so cut and dry, but it didn't change her feelings on the matter. She would still dare to hope.

As her amber eyes danced over the freshly renamed trainees, she allowed a soft purr to escape and the mirth of the moment to overcome her.

[Rizo]

~ Moonfrost ~

A smile crossed the black tabby's face as she heard the new names resound from her clanmates and from Pikestar himself. That was the only thing she truly hated about her condition, being unable to join in the welcoming tradition of calling the new names to the sky. Oh well, she'd find someone to be her voice someday. Instead, she let her gaze look over the new apprentices. They would make fine warriors someday.
Maybe one of them will even be leader someday, moons from now, when my sister and I are old and gray in the Elder's den.
The thought of that gave her a warm glow in her chest. Now if only she could motivate Wolfsong to overcome her current state. As she considered her options, Moonfrost turned her attention back to Pikestar.

[Pitou]

**Doeheart**

The lilac queen smiled warmly then joined in the chants to congratulate and welcome the group of young apprentices into their new rank, ” Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!” Times we’re scary outside of these walls and the now-apprentices would face hardships that Doeheart didn’t feel were as prevalent while she and her siblings were growing up but that was why they were training to become warriors. And each ceremony was for more than just the cat receiving a new rank, it was to reassure the entire clan that Riverclan was growing stronger and they would persevere through it all.

The small calico heard steps behind her, turning to see a grey cat standing behind her. He smiled at her, and she just continued to stare, silent. Smile? Why? What do I have to smile about..? Why did he call her squirt? What does that mean??? The small kit furrowed her brow, looking confused. "You're my friend now." She mewed bluntly, before turning back around.

Flintfang
He/Him

Grinning mischievously at Swallowkit before she turned away, Flintfang settled down in his spot and wrapped his tail around himself. Apparently he had a kit-almost-apprentice friend now, not that he was opposed to it. She'd seemed too nervous for his liking, and at least she was taking his offered support. Speaking of support, where was the kitten's family? They ought to be here ... Unless the calico in front of him didn't necessarily have a family. Sage orbs softened slightly. Ah, Flintfang knew the pain of missing loved ones. If that were the case with Swallowkit, he wanted to give her all that he could offer.

When the time came around for Pikestar to announce mentors, Flintfang was fully waiting to see who Swallowkit's would be, so that he could pull them aside later and make sure they were someone amiable. What he hadn't expected, however, for he himself to be named a mentor. The mentor to Swallowpaw? Who in the blazes-- Oh he was an idiot. The woven smirk on his face only managed to further widen with amusement. What was he going to do now, admonish himself? A chuckle rumbled through his lean figure, and Flintfang turned mirthful eyes on Swallowpaw, who was now accompanied by his own sister.

An eyebrow rose, and Flintfang puffed out his chest, adopting a look of mock outrage at Silverpaw's words, butting in before she could finish. "First of all, I don't look scary in the slightest. It's called being impossibly good-looking." Rolling his eyes skyward, Flintfang was basking in the glory of his momentary win when his sister continued on. "A WHAT?" The grey tabby tom asked, openly gaping. "I am not a nerd!" He protested hotly, all but pouting for effect, and then eyed the two apprentices with suspicion. "This is unfair, you can't team up against me."

Bouncepaw, suprised he has not been given a new mentor he flattened his ears in sadness before stomping into the apprentices den

Open

[SpiritedWarrior]

In his, almost, daze as he began to process everything, look cast out in front, partially listening to the continuing meeting. His ear flicked when a warrior came up to congratulate him, to which he gave a polite nod before turning away again [ Silvershadow13 ]. Somewhere he heard the recognisable voice of Littlepaw scream out - you could say he almost felt embarrassed (as if that showed), but... He couldn't seem to find irritation in the scream this time. It felt... Different, much like Cricketsting's pun, albeit the usually lethargic tabby didn't pick up on that. He merely looked their way, giving a nod as his gaze lingered on the two for a brief moment before Bluebellpaw came up to him as well [ SpiritedWarrior Dirtfur - Thank you :heartbounce: ]. He cast his gaze down on the younger molly, giving her too a nod of thanks. Hah, he wasn't sure how to handle all these congratulations - it rarely happened, who could blame him? [ lonely.lilyx ]

As the meeting continued, he looked back up to the dark-furred leader, most notably when the new shields got announced. A quick look over those selected, and the now former shield chanted the names along with the rest of the clan. While he wasn't very familiar with Raccoonear or Fogcloud (other than the ex-RiverClanner's situation just now), he did recall Moonfrost stepping in with that one intruder; one of the few who had their head on straight during that moment. Thus he didn't consider the three bad choices. Following the newly appointed shields, were apprentice ceremonies. Here it was kits getting promoted, their excitement was often unparalleled (and tiring, when they began screaming or bouncing around).



Littlepaw was very proud of her mentor, or who would become her former mentor as soon as she got her ceremony, which would surely be this meeting. When his eyes laid on hers, she dipped her head, acknowledging the new deputy. Slatewhisker probably didn't know Gingerfrost, but she was probably proud of him in StarClan. Shortly after the news of Gingerfrost becoming deputy passed through the whole of RiverClan, the small cream tabby stood up and began chanting the new names of all the apprentices.

"Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" she joined Pikestar in the chant to welcome all the new apprentices. There's so many! I don't remember the last time RiverClan had this many apprentices, but I'm not complaining! One of the new apprentices was soon to become Cricketsting's ( Dirtfur ) responsibility. Casting a glance at her friend, she silently congratulated the tom and stepped back so that Fishpaw would have plenty of room to sit next to their new mentor ( Darkclaws ). She caught wind of Pikestar's attempt at a pun and chuckled quietly. Not bad for a beginner!

--------------------------------------------
(Didn't mean to quote you Zen, sorry!)

Reedwhisker's attention was brought to her brother as he comforted the nervous kit, Swallowkit, who was called up to be an apprentice. Although she didn't expect her brother to get another apprentice, she was quite pleased and proud of her brother ( Kat ) for being able to do so. Looking toward her littermate, the dark brown warrior nodded in congratulations before turning her attention back to Pikestar, letting Silverpaw, her little sister, torment their brother. To the warrior's surprise, she too, was getting an apprentice during this meeting. Memories from the back of her head flooded into the front: Nightpaw had been reassigned as her own apprentice and her promise had been broken when Nightpaw was dragged into the camp, dead. This time, she would not make any promises to young Rowanpaw ( judas ). Not until she had passed her assessment. Dipping her head in thanks for this opportunity- this redemption- Reedwhisker tucked her tail closer to her for Rowanpaw to sit down beside her new mentor. Everything else was a blur to the young warrior as she silently wished for Nightpaw to sit on the opposite side of her, but alas, that would never happen again. Reedwhisker quickly wiped away the water coming from her eyes and paid her attention to the meeting once more. Raccoonear, one of RiverClan's newest shields, had received an apprentice too. Cricketsting, the resident prankster of RiverClan, was getting an apprentice: Fishkit. W-was that a pun? Well... okay then! she chuckled slightly, amused at the older tom's attempt in a pun.

"Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" the young warrior yowled, chanting the names of each apprentice along with Pikestar and RiverClan. StarClan is gifting us with many apprentices, I shore hope they can all become warriors- oh dear StarClan, I made a pun.

[judas]

R O W A N
The molly took a deep breath, relaxed by Pikestar's reassurance. Her eyes shined wide as she gazed back at the clan, taking into consideration everyone that had supported her through this rather rough time. The molly tapped her paws, wondering what warrior she'd be taught by. She listened carefully, and soon her eyes widened with suprise. Reedwhisker had been a mentor to another apprentice prior, Nightpaw. The cat had met an unfortunate end, and Rowan's head once more swelled with anxiety. Would she even be able to protect me? What if something happens to me in battle?! Her thoughts swelled around her, infecting her head with her fears once more. Rowanpaw tried to push the thoughts back, forcing a smile on her maw.
As the rest of the ceromony continued, Rowan looked towards the other cats. She glanced at Fogcloud, flashing a anxious smile at the warrior. She was happy that the other cat was there for her, considering their last interaction was rather intense. The apprentice tried to push the worries away, reassuring herself with their words. {oleander}

As soon as her ceromony concluded, she anxiously walked over to Reedwhisker. Her face turned down, duel colored eyes watching the dirt beneath her paws. She once again felt so small, sucked in a sea of excited kits, clanmates chanting her new name. Everything seemed so overwhelming, as if she was being sucked into a never ending ocean.
Her eyes shined up at Reedwhisker, plastering on her fake happy expression for the cat. Rowanpaw moved her her spot, sitting next to the cat for the rest of the ceromony. "I'm excited to learn all you have to teach me," She mewed. Rowankit turned her head back to Pikestar, waiting for the rest of the announcements to come.

Shatteredsun seemed to glow as he realized that Pikestar just gave him an apprentice. As the RiverClan leader's gaze lingered on him, Shatteredsun nodded to say that he could be trusted to properly train an apprentice. His gaze switched to look at the newly named Mudpaw, and he approached the brown kitten. As he went to touch noses with the bouncy scrap of fur, Shatteredsun whispered to him:
"I'll make a warrior out of you yet..."
The gold and black tom smiled faintly.

"Swallowpaw! Rowanpaw! Mudpaw! Crowpaw! Fishpaw!" Amberpaw shouted as loud as she could.

[Estelle]

There was something... Nice about those who knew you acknowledging a certain event or accomplishment in your life. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, the lethargic tom might slowly be coming to realise that. It was strange, but he couldn't dislike it either. [ SpiritedWarrior - technically talking about Little's nod ]

"Swallowpaw, Rowanpaw, Mudpaw, Crowpaw, Fishpaw!"
The tabby tom chanted along as everyone else did. Gingerfrost still wasn't one for raising his voice, but ceremonies had essentially become the one 'exception' to that - it was still tiring having to call a whole lot of names, mind you, but he didn't not do it either. That, somehow, had been one thing he grew into because of his mentor's views on respect.

[poppy]

// Estelle ( :lovesquee::lovesquee::lovesquee: yay!!! )

Deputy. Birdpaw's excited, still shaky squeal rose as she perked up, looking over to where (grayfrost) Gingerfrost sat. The small ragdoll sprinted over to where the unsuspecting ginger tabby sat. Could she hug him? If she hugged him and made him uncomfortable, she didn't want to put him in the same situation that Beastgrowl had done to her. "Congratulations Gingerfrost!!" She purred, silver and blue fur fluffed up with excitement for the tom that had been her savior multiple times. "Are you okay if I give you a 'good job' hug?" And she tried to look like it would be okay if he said no thanks, because she didn't want to make him uncomfy!

Hollowstorm cheered for the Clan's new apprentices. Sad he didn't get one, but still happy.

[Dirtfur]

“I think he’ll like warrior luck.”

The stings in his tangled hair had faded away completely, leaving the cream warrior in a better mood.

Cricketsting twisted his head to Stonehollow, seeing the other tom beckon him and Pebblefoot. Although Stonehollow seemed to want Cricketsting to move closer, the latter stayed where he was and listened closely with puzzlement. His sparkled gray eyes slugishly fell down upon on what could be mistaken as one of his pupils, but larger.

“So pass it on? I can do that.” As the pale tabby plucked the shiny stone off the ground, his heart skipped a beat as the second tom yelled, “Let’s gooo!”. He dropped the shiny stone from his jaws and quickly passed it to his apprentice friend. “Pass this stone to someone else, just not Mistycloud for now.”

Glancing back up at Gingerfrost, he noticed a nod from the new deputy. Cricketsting took that as a happy sign. Before Cricketsting had realized it, kits were being called up, ready to become apprentices. Now paying full attention to the meeting, the cream tom memorized each kit’s names and switched the -kit with -paw, preparing to cry out their names once their ceremonies were over. His focus on the preparations vanished away as the last kit Fishkit earned the name Fishpaw and, as Pikestar said it with a pun -Cricketsting could not hold in his laughter at the leader’s amazing wordplay-, will be mentored by him, Cricketsting!

Shuffling his eyes to his side after hearing the noise behind him, he noticed Littlepaw giving room for his apprentice. He nodded to her gratefully ( SpiritedWarrior ). Powered by Pikestar’s joke, Cricketsting raised his chin and eyed Fishpaw. “Come on, water you waiting for?” he meowed gently to the newest apprentice, chuckling soon afterwards. While Cricketsting waited, he cried out, "Swallowpaw, Roanpaw, Mudpaw, Crowpaw, Fishpaw!"

Littlepaw's attention was brought to Cricketsting once more as he asked her to pass a pebble around to another Clanmate, just... not... Mistycloud? Well- okay, then... not Mistycloud. Looking around for a warrior suitable enough to take the pebble from her, the cream tabby bumped her elbow on Echoblue ( ~SilverShine~ ) and leaned close to her before whispering, "Pass this along, but don't give the pebble to Mistycloud."

She then leaned back and resumed watching the meeting with interest. Her warrior ceremony was bound to be closing in now, her new name would be announced soon.

Reedwhisker cast a soft glance at her new apprentice, hoping it would calm her down. She had not seen an apprentice be so anxious before, but the young warrior knew some apprentices were anxious in the past. After all, Reedwhisker herself had been anxious when she became an apprentice!

"Don't worry, you'll be a great warrior one day," she whispered to Rowanpaw. "I'm glad you're excited!" she purred and curled her tail around the young she-cat, looking forward to this second opportunity.

Slatestripe happily chanted the names of RiverClan’s newest apprentices. He was glad that Reedwhisker had received a new apprentice; the younger warrior had gone through too much trauma recently. Hopefully, her new apprentice would make it to warriorhood. That would be ideal for all of RiverClan’s youngest, but unfortunately for many a warrior’s life wasn’t meant for them.

He sighed as Pikestar made an attempt to imitate Cricketsting’s punny sense of humor; not out of annoyance, but out of a humored disbelief for Pikestar’s sudden morph into a basic dad. He gave an audible chuckle, if only to show that the effort was appreciated.

Crowpaw
[ reindeer lane Long post w/ all the Crow-thoughts, no need to write as much if you're not feeling like it ]

She stood like a large, unmoving bolder of dark fur, yellow eyes fixated on the tall leader. Pikestar began to speak, first addressing each one of them by their kit name, before emmidietly changing them. Crowkit's, or Crowpaw 's name rather, was naturally a towards the end considering her lower worth, but what she was more focused on was the name. Paw. Crowpaw. Crowpaw. "Crowpaw." The uncomfortable unfamiliarity of the name burnt on her tongue like acid, and left a lingering flavor of... newness. New things were something the Crow didn't like.

But worse than saying her name out loud, was hearing it repeated by the leader, and the southed by her clanmates over and over and over. Each time she heard a new voice call it out along with the others, the name seemed to become worse and worse sounding, but also more meaningless. The name wasn't really hers. Neither had Crowkit been, since it had been given to her by her since long dead parents. But this one was different, not only becase it didn't feel like her, but becase the whole clan had now made her name, something that should be completely hers, something they owned as well. Calling out the names of everyone each time their name or rank changed might be a nice things in her clanmates' unthought-through traditions, but it also meant it was now something shared. Shared in a way she didn't like.

Everyone was assinged a mentor, Swallowpaw with Flintfang, Rowanpaw and Reedwhisker, Mudpaw and Shatteredsun. Racconear was cursed with the task of training her, and likewise Crow would now have to learn to be around them. Ignorring the leader's words about each mentor, as well as the meak little joke at the last pair, Cricketsting and Fishpaw. She wanted to just ignore the whole clan and whole meating, forget all that being in Riverclan meant and what being in Riverclan meant. She just remained still.

Her name was called out by her clanmates. Once, twice, thrice Uncomfortable... Four, five, six times Make it stop already. eight, nine, ten. SHUT UP! She wanted to shout it. Open her jaws and yowl the words to the sky, letting the words dig into the other cats like talons and making them fall silent for once. But she couldn't. She wouldn't speak so easily and even if she roared with all her might no one would care or listen. She might be an apprentice now and not a kit, but her voice was hardly more heard now than it had been before. She had more responasabilty now though. Things would be expected from her.

She wanted to just leave this, but as she was consdering the though, she remembered that mentor of hers. Racconear. A part of her felt sorry for the warrior,, or sheild, for been assinged her of all cats to mentor. Another part of her dreaded the very thought of having to talk to them at all. But the choice was not hers, and slow, dragging pawsteps unwillingly brought her towards the sheild. Her eyes didn't meet theirs, instead she simply studied the cat. Grey, many diffrent shades of it, speckled with white.

She didn't look at their face, didn't do anything to greet them, verbal or non-verbal; she was quiet. Lets just gets this over with.

[pxxylo]

Two times in one meeting had she been mentioned. For her, it simply was too much. She had heard what her name was called for, but what came out of her dear brother's mouth next was numbing, and she'd gone through enough numbness and pain after returning to Riverclan already. It was quite a lot. There was a war? Kestrelstar and Sparrowstar are both dead? Snakeheart is gone as well? What happened to him? What happened to all these cats? Where's Raccoonkit? And then becoming a shield right after all of this. She was happy, however was worried about the future to come. All of the responsibilities are things she enjoys as is, but it is now required of her, which changed a lot for her, for no reason. She'd be doing the exact same things she does normally, why did she get so worried about it? It's no big deal, right? Attend meetings, defend the clan, assist with cats returning after being missing or talking to complete outsiders wanting to join. To these cats, she was kind. Only if they deserved it, however oftentimes they did.

Now, back to what Pikestar had announced, mentioning her name for the second time this meeting. The cat announced was someone she didn't know, and had likely not been in Riverclan before she was kidnapped. However, soon enough, a large yellow-eyed apprentice padded up to her, pulling herself forward slowly with dread in her eyes. The gray molly frowned, bringing herself back to her own apprentice ceremony. Her own dread and hate similar to what she could tell from the cat before her, readable like an open book was her emotions. Just like hers on this day, an apprentice ceremony. She was assigned Snowtrot, and did not go over to him to say hello. Rather, she walked off. She left the meeting and went to cry in Firefly Cove, which was still Riverclan territory back then. She hated him, he emotionally abused his last apprentice, and he would end up doing the same to her. It was miserable. Swearing to herself that she would treat Crowpaw with utmost respect and kindness, and would teach her not only physical training, but life lessons, and emotional teachings. Just because clan standards exist, it doesn't mean that you need to overwork yourself, only focusing on work and training hard. Raccoonear would take Crowpaw on walks to talk about troubles if she wanted, or just take breaks.

She looked down at Crowpaw and smiled, her eyes and posture silent, if that makes sense. "It's not all bad. It may feel like your identity is being taken away by a new name, or a new role, but what's to come is a life of joy."That's what she had heard from her friends."It's hard at times, but it only hurts now. Soon, you'll learn how fun it is to learn and feel apart of a team." The tabby apprentice before her looked her up and down, not looking at her eyes. Sadness filled her eyes as she said nothing, nothing at all. As Crowpaw looked down, she tried to comfort her with words further, one last statement. "Welcome to the team, Crowpaw."

[Spotty]

Crowpaw
[ reindeer lane Ok so I am already loving this! Btw dont take anything Crow says personally, she thinks positively of like one cat lol. No need to reply to this unless you really want to write out Raccon's reaction ]

Cats rarely, if ever, seemed to notice much about her emotions. Crow had chucked it up to nothing more than naive and careless disregard on their part and thought nothing more of it. Though she supposed she could not place all the blame on others, however, since she herself had never bothered putting a whole lot of effort into changing her expression from the stale, emotionless one she wore like a mask over her face. Her narrow eyes and large muzzle gave her the oddly menacing mixture of stoicism, strength, and cold anger Mainecoons her size seemed to have. She hadn't bothered showing much emotion, but her thoughts sometimes leaked through.
Yet few seemed to see the drops getting out.

This cat had.

And Crow hated it.


A few times cats had tried approaching her, but this one hadn't just noticed what she thought, they had ripped away Crow's mask as if it was nothing more than a wet leaf on her face. And now they had seen right through the younger cat and read her feelings as if they had been written on her face. And it felt horrible. Unsafe. Violating.

Quickly Crow made a decision: she would not make that mistake again and quickly froze her expression further into a solid mask of... nothing. No feeling, no thought, no emotion. And turned away to look at Pikestar again, just waiting for the torture of a meeting finally come to an end and free her from all of this. She would just have to find a way to get through the training.

Fishpaw snorted at Pikestar’s pun. As serious and nonchalant as he tried to portray himself, he hadn’t been expecting that and it caught him completely off guard. He gave the leader a big grin and looked for his new mentor in the crowd. Who was it again? Ah yes, Cricketsting.

Scanning the crowd until he found the warrior assigned to oversee his training, he swaggered over, confidence fueled by the cheering of his name. His new name. He wondered if his father was watching from StarClan, or if his mother, wherever she was knew that he was officially an apprentice. Smiling to himself, he approached Cricketsting. ”Teach me a lot okay? I have high hopes for you, and I plan on being the best apprentice here,” he informed the older cat, leaning up to touch noses with him.

Tigerkit was amused by the large gathering under the beautiful stone. Since she was new to the Clan, she was still in awe by the fact that cats gathered together. She had only ever seen loners and evil-minded rogues who would kill even a kit for a meager scrap of a mouse. Her light-gray eyes glowed like two round, fascinated full-moons. Tigerkit ensconced, curling her feathery, fluffy tail around her paws. Looking around her, she noticed a few cats. What were they called?--she'd forgotten the name already.

Oh! Warriors! She sighed. She needed to learn these things fast, otherwise she felt she'd be outcasted.

If Fishpaw heard the new mentor’s pun, he didn’t show it. That’s alright, though; it can be hard to hear anything when a bunch of cats start yowling names. Cricketsting had also noticed the way the apprentice walked as if the younger cat had just nicked a badger’s ear and ran away scot free.

After speaking about his goal and the hopes for the cream tabby, Fishpaw leaned in to do a traditional gesture. Cricketsting hesitated not because it had been a couple of moons since he had an apprentice, but instead he choked –the apprentice expected Cricketsting to be as best as a mentor just enough where Fishpaw becomes ‘the best apprentice here’. What if the cream tom failed to teach everything to Fishpaw? Would the apprentice then stop looking up to Cricketsting and instead to someone else who may be a lot cooler than the warrior -maybe a cat who is a lot darker and malicious?

A silent gulp, Cricketsting leaned down to touch his nose with his new apprentice. “I will do my best.”

Fishpaw smiled faintly at Cricketsting ”No pressure though of course,” the tom was sure to say as he pulled away, he felt he probably was going to stress out the older cat by making such declarations. ”I’m going to be honest with you now though, I’m not the greatest with other cats and not super sociable so I apologize in advance if I seem distant or cold.” He warned. It was only right to warn him after all. Just because he was generally mean as all hell, doesn’t mean he couldn’t give being nicer a try with this cat who was so generously using their time to help him progress. ”What will we be doing first?” the spotted tabby asked curiously, anxious to find out what kind of new duties he’d be engaging in.

[ Dirtfur haha love the foreshadowing]


Yeah, no pressure.

Cricketsting pulled away and smiled down at Fishpaw. His eyes squinted whilst he took in what his apprentice had just said. How could any cat respond to that, no less a mentor?

"No need to apologize...um... I can help with your social skills." With his "natural" talent of coming up with puns that could make even a cat like Gingerfrost react to it, it was easy for Cricketsting to socialize with others. Littlepaw for example! After Littlepaw revealed one of RiverClan's secrets in a Gathering couple moons ago -at that time, Skystar was still alive, the cream warrior socialized with the sad apprentice.

The mentor turned his head to his fellow cream cat. They got along well and became friends quickly, but most importantly helped her with dealing the fact that she leaked the aforementioned secret.

Eyes back to Fishpaw, Cricketsting thought for a second. He noticed his body was throbbing with the knowledge that the apprentice is expecting him to be a great mentor. A nice, calming session could help it out.

"After this meeting, I'll take you somewhere and teach you about puns and pun making. Does that sound good?" A feeling nipped his heart, anticipating worse answers from Fishpaw's mouth.

[Captain]

With the loud exhilarating chant of RiverClan’s newest apprentices filling the air, Pikestar felt his chest swell with pride. It had felt like ages since the clan had any positive occurrences within its borders. They knew it was only temporary happiness, but it was important to live in the moment while they could afford to. Perhaps if he tried harder to be better, happier, more positive, then things would stop being so dreary and depressing around here. From what the oriental tomcat could see from atop the Streamstone, all the new apprentices were with their mentors and things were going well, for the most part. Though, as his partial gaze swept through the crowd, he caught a few frowns and disappointed expressions on an apprentice or two, which confused Pikestar slightly. Did they think he had forgotten them? Because he surely had not. The tall RiverClan leader had just wanted to get the new apprentice ceremonies out of the way before handling any reassignments. Simple as that.

Once things eventually started to calm down, the long-furred tomcat continued without further ado. “Now that we’ve all welcomed these new apprentices into our ranks, the next important thing to discuss at this meeting shall be reassignments.” There was a slight pause where the large tom let himself show a bit of disappointment, hating having to deal with lazy, incompetent mentors that he had trusted to do well to train the youths of RiverClan. But of course, not everything could be perfect in that regard, now could it? Pikestar uttered a lowly bothered sigh and shook his head. “This goes out to all apprentices of RiverClan! If you have not received any training from your current mentors, or believe that you need a new mentor regardless, please step forward and I will assign you a new one.” He called out, his whiskers twitching aimlessly as he waited for any of them to gather at the base of the Streamstone. Bluebellpaw was one that stuck out in Pikestar’s mind that needed a brand new mentor, now that Bluebellcrackle was gone, but he knew that there were many others that needed reassignments too. He’d take care of it. Pikestar knew he wasn't the most perfect leader, but he wanted to do his best to leave no cat behind. It was about time he started doing more for his clan. ( Apprentices who require a new mentor, please step forward and mention me in your post so I can make sure to give your cat a reassignment. If you have not specified a certain cat you want for a new mentor in RiverClan Resources, then I will make the decision myself. Just letting everyone know before I continue this meeting. )

Bluebellpaw stepped forward, a little sheepish. Miss Bluebellcrackle was leaving now, so she needed to new mentor; after all, warriorhood wasn't just going to land in her paws. But still, in front of all those cats, she felt as if she were a kit again, peering up at the Streamstone with wide eyes, awakening the call for apprenticeship.

Well, here goes nothing. She looked back, a little uncertain. Oh dear. What if she was the only one? That would be... awkward, to say the least. She thought for a moment.

Who would she get? She's hoped it was someone like Mr. Gingerfrost, since she already knew him, but it didn't really matter to her. She settled herself as still as she can as she waits to the next anouncements.

Birdpaw looked up as her dad called from the streamstone for any apprentices who needed a mentor."U-um... Stagfrost went missing a while ago.. So I need a new mentor please." She looked up at her father, hoping he wouldn't be disappointed in her. This would be the second or third mentor she had gone through, and they had all gone missing. Maybe they ran away because she was untrainable. But instead of thinking like this, the little ragdoll smothered her anxieties and stepped forward, sitting down and waiting with a bit of excitement for her new mentor.

The tom watched as many apprentices stepped up to have a mentor reassignment, it was a bit sad really, so many cats were going missing and or turning up dead, both warriors and apprentices. His mind flicked to his dads, they had both chosen to leave Riverclan for the life of loners, I hope Baysplash and Herongaze are okay.. his gaze shifted down to the grey tabby at his side, both were Kestrelpaws birth parents, he wondered if she felt worried about them too or if she was just mad they had gone, similar to how Fennelcall guessed Larkpaw felt.

[Sklee]

Amberpaw wasn't really sure if she needed a new mentor. Sure, technically she hadn't had one in months, but she was absolutely terrified of getting another that left her behind. And she was almost a warrior anyways.



Despite everything, she felt her body step forward. Like it was out of her control. Even if she never spoke to this mentor, even ever. She wanted another. Just so anyone could say they were proud of her when she became a warrior. Anyone at all was better then the nothing she'd had since she joined Riverclan, loyal as she would always be.

Mintpaw knew this was the moment she had expected for a long time. Fawnleap had given up on the clan life, so now she really needed another mentor.
Quietly, she stepped forward and sat down beside the other apprentices in front of the Streamstone, as Pikestar waited patiently studying every one of them.

She turned back for a moment and her eyes caught those of Slatestripe. The dark warrior's amber gaze was fixed on her with an inquisitive look, probably wondering what had happened between her and her mentor. He would probably think that she hadn't gotten well along with her, that it hadn't worked out. She wondered if Autumnpaw was still present in her trainings with Slatestripe, and a flicker of hope sparked from the thought.

But I must not be silly. She reminded herself.

She looked around for Owleyes, He was usually too busy for her, they hadnt talked in a while and she didnt want to be rude but she felt like she needed a new mentor. She rapidly looked around before making a small sigh and slowly walking up to meet a few other apprentices who probably had similar thoughts about their mentors. She hoped she'd get a nice mentor, one who could encourage her all the time. And one who had more emotion in his or her voice. She glanced around, who did she want to be an apprentice to? She'd be lucky to be assigned to a cat like Gingerfrost or Otterfluff, but if any cat here was nice she would gladly take them as a mentor. She wanted to learn battle training so bad. And she still hadnt taken her tour yet! Hopefully her new mentor would take her tour first thing

[Sorry @/SplashyLumi!! I just felt like it was necessary! I dont mean to be rude in any way, shape, or form.]

Fogcloud called out for the new apprentices, making sure to call out Rowanpaw the loudest. Though went silent when apprentices who need reassignment was needed. Tail flicking as they hoped they might get assigned one.

Cicadapaw nervously dug their claws into ground, while they enjoyed Mothdusk they hadn’t been taken out at all. Her tail flicked nervously before stepping forward to hopefully get a new mentor.

She flicked her tail back and forth. Owleyes hadn't trained her yet, so maybe she ought to go up. With all the deaths and missing cats, it was appalling how many apprentices needed reassignment. She looked up at Fennelcall, suddenly remembering her parents. She scowled. They were spineless. She didn't miss them, since she never knew them, but Fennelcall did. She should ask him later.

Saying goodbye to her brother, she walked up to the Streamstone to wait for reassignment.

The tom rushed forward as he realized he did need a new mentor, doing his best to keep his beating heart down. He reached the area he figured where he should be and looked up to Pikestar, feeling his breath catch for a moment in anxiety, but slowly calmed himself down, taking deep breaths that were hopefully shown as trying to calm excitement more than anxiety.

Mistycloud watched the leader sitting in the back away from the others. Her blue fur fluffing around.

[Willowfern]

Antlerstreak’s eyes scouted the gathering of cats as he tried to pick out any familiar pelts, of a cat he knew and was friends with, perhaps, but no-one stuck out to him. Antlerstreak was slightly saddened by the revelation that he hadn’t any friends, but it was what it was.
His tawny fur whipped back and forth as Antlerstreak curled his tail around himself, trying to keep as much warmth as possible. It wasn’t too horribly cold, but it was chilly, and Antlerstreak’s fur wasn’t the thickest in the world.
As Pikestar spoke, Antlerstreak let himself give a small smile, RiverClan was back to normal under Pikestar, a cat who he didn’t doubt would see his duty through until the very end. After all of the trouble that RiverClan had gone through, it was back, and it was a formidable clan to make an enemy of once more.
Antlerstreak breathed out softly through his nose, and collapsed his body into a loaf position, his belly fur cushioning him from the ground. His eyes were half-closed as he waited for Pikestar to go on with the meeting, his mind wandering to far off worlds.

Ferretpaw woke from his nap.. there was a meeting going on?? Jumping to his paws he padded out of the apprentice den in a hurry. All he had heard was something like mentor reassignments? Shaking his head the small tom tucked his tail low as he padded up. Starclan knows how much of the meeting he'd slept through! Looking at Robinpaw for a moment he decided afterward he'd ask for a follow up of what all happened while he was asleep. But before that, he had to go and get a new mentor. Tearing his gaze away from his friend he sleepily stepped forward with the other apprentices.

It was depressing really, to see all these apprentices in need of reassignments, as they all stepped forward. He was one of them. At first he hadn't concerned himself with Frostmoon's absence, he was quite capable of forcing finding others to train him. But it had been much too long since he had seen her last to not take this opportunity.

[Captain]

After calling together the older apprentices of RiverClan, the tall oriental tomcat watched as one after the other stepped forward. Bluebellpaw was the first one, which didn’t surprise him whatsoever. He could only imagine what was going through her mind right now after her first mentor had gone and left the clan. But Pikestar wouldn’t ever dream of thinking poorly of his dear friend, knowing she had good reason to do what she did. It was up to him now to make sure this apprentice was given a mentor that could be just as good as Bluebellcrackle would have been. Next was Birdpaw, his beloved daughter, who admitted sheepishly that Adderscale had gone missing long ago and she required a new teacher. Pikestar nodded understandably to the ragdoll molly, knowing she was well overdue for training. Hopefully, a responsible new mentor would get her to warriorhood in no time.

Next was Goldenpaw, who spoke of her lack of training from Blueeyes, and then soon after Bouncepaw appeared as well. It seemed there were more apprentices within RiverClan that needed new mentors than he originally had expected. Amberpaw, Mintpaw, Cinderpaw, Dappledpaw… Stars above! Pikestar was starting to become upset with his warriors because this was ridiculous! How many mentors had slacked off and neglected their youths? Apparently all of them, because there was still more to come forward. Up came Drizzlepaw, Cicadapaw, Kestrelpaw, Robinpaw, Ferretpaw, Larkpaw… Pikestar stared down at the crowd of apprentices now gathered at the base of the Streamstone in utter shock swirling in his partial gaze. How many was that now? Forteen? Holy StarClan… This was surely a problem that would need to be dealt with as soon as possible. Pikestar uttered a harsh sigh and continued.

“Right then.” The large dark-furred leader meowed, looking down at the clowder of apprentices before him, “It seems that many of our warriors have been neglecting your training. My apologies for that, young ones, I will make sure each and every one of you have a new mentor. Hopefully ones that will not disappoint me.” Pikestar lifted his partial gaze to sent a harsh look to the adults in the crowd, silently reminding them to not test his patience and temper. They hated dealing with cats that constantly disappointed them. But it was surely a waste of time to sweat over things that had already occurred. Yes, right now, the best course of action would be to focus on the now. “Listen closely, all of you, as I list off reassignments.” Pikestar huffed.

“Bluebellpaw, your new mentor will be Antlerstreak. Gingerfrost, I am entrusting Birdpaw’s training to you. Lilacbreeze, you will be mentoring Goldenpaw. Bouncepaw, Mistycloud is your new mentor. Slatestripe, you will be handling the rest of Mintpaw’s training. Drizzlepaw, you will be mentored by Fogcloud. Moonfrost, you will be mentoring Cicadapaw.” Pikestar paused for a moment to take a deep breath, feeling his head slightly spinning after having to say all of this in one go, “Kestrelpaw, your training will be handled by Marigoldleap. Reedwhisker, I’m trusting you to take over Larkpaw’s training along with Rowanpaw. Otterfluff will be taking over the rest of your training, Ferretpaw, be sure to let him know when he’s returned from the borders.” The fluffy brown tom was still off stalking the territory after Beastgrowl’s exile, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t free from getting an apprentice. “Beansprout, I am making you responsible for both Robinpaw and Amberpaw. And lastly, Beestream, you’ll be Dappledpaw and Cinderpaw’s mentor.” A lack of willing warriors to mentor apprentices left Pikestar having to double-up, but maybe it would be a good thing to keep them all busy and out of trouble. He took a moment to breathe and allow all the apprentices to accept their new mentors before continuing on with the meeting. They were almost finished here.

The dark tabby blinked in mild surprise as she heard her own name called. And to mentor Cicadapaw no less! She had been working on getting the shy apprentice to open up to her, so this would work out perfectly! With a smile, Moonfrost rose to her paws and turned to find Cicadapaw so they could touch noses to acknowledge their new mentor apprentice bond.

BLUEBELLPAW

She felt sheepish as she looked around at the large crowd of apprentices. Oh stars, there was a lot. Enough to fill three patrols. Pikestar seemed visibly annoyed; when again, if the warriors had done their jobs, all would be swell.

She looked around. Antlerstreak? She'd heard the face, but couldn't match an exact face with it. Hm. Maybe that was him?

She padded over, eager to acknowledge their bond. Perhaps things would go smoother, this time.

[ Willowfern ]


KESTRELPAW

Her tsked. So many uneducated apprentices; herself amongst them. Discipline was lacking, clearly. Something had to be done about, and if she didn't know what, she'd spend the next hour or so constantly pondering it.

She listened thoughtfully. Marigoldleap! How exciting. She looked around for the dark she-cat. If Marigoldleap was mentoring her, perhaps it would be so bad...

[ Angelique ]

[Madelaine]

Marigoldleap - Female

Listening in on Pikestar giving the new apprentices their paw names she felt pride. Even through difficult time young cats were one step closer to becoming warriors. Now what shocked her was all the apprentices going up for new mentors. She knew sometimes getting young cats training was bad, bit not this bad. It was a shame, but if the apprentices weren't willing to give up than there was nothing to it.

Marigoldleap listened as Pikestar became rummaging through names. She didn't really think to much of it up until she heard her name get called. First she was ro take over healing duties until Fawnpaw returned and now an apprentice? She wasn't complaining. All the stress would finally come to an end. Training young cats was a blessing in itself and she would get Kesterlpaw training done if it was the last thing she did.

Looking among everyone she spotted her new apprentice and moved over to them. She was going to show she was not going to give up on her training. She never had an apprentice make it to warriorhood. Well she did have Bounceberry, but he had become a full medicine cat not a warrior. Marigoldleap leaned down to touch noses, but she wasn't going to force them to.

"I will make sure not to disapoint you. I will help you get your warrior name. ", Marigoldleap meowed. You could tell in her voice that she meant it. There would be no slacking even with having to heal cats if they need.

Mistycloud approached the new apprenticed with joy. It was her first ever! She was very happy.
“Hi Bouncepaw! I hope that I can be the best mentor ever. Could you tell me anything you’ve done for training or what you need work on?” The warrior was ecstatic. So much in so her fur turned her into a ball because it all stood on end.

Antlerstreak’s ears flicked in recognition of his name. Bluebellpaw? Hm, he didn’t think he’d ever met a Bluebellpaw before. He stood up, and met his new apprentice in the middle, shooting her a welcoming smile as he offered her his nose,
“I’ll get you through apprenticeship, Bluebellpaw,” He promised her, “I won’t let you go mentorless again.”
He knew the apprentice would be holding him to the promise he’d just made, and he hoped that he knew what he was saying.
“What have you already been taught, and what else do you need to learn?”

But from what Drizzlepaw saw, was her hard outer core, she would probably make her training very harsh. But that was what she wanted certainly right? Where was Fogcloud though? She wanted to see the shield up close for the first time, maybe she could make a small friendship? Even if it was just mentor and apprentice, it would be good enough for her.

Birdpaw felt the tightness, the uneasiness in her chest loosen as her father nodded at her. He understood. She wasn't in trouble for her next mentor going missing. She hoped Stagfrost was okay. Silvernight too. Her soft blue eyes had a bit more light than recently in them as she patiently waited for the reassignments to begin. The small ragdoll hoped fervently that this mentor would bring her right to warriorhood, she was so close (maybe if she hadn't lost those 2 and a half moons to death, she'd be a warrior by now...) and she wanted it so bad. She loved being an apprentice, but Warrior Birdpaw sounded like someone who wouldn't be afraid, who could protect her Clan. Maybe Warrior Birdpaw would have started a family of her own, too.

"Gingerfrost, I am entrusting Birdpaw's training to you.

Gingerfrost! The apprentice perked up, looking around for him. Oh yeah, he.... he hadn't really moved from where she had given him a congratulatory hug. If Pikestar liked him enough to make him deputy, he must really think that Gingerfrost was going to stick around! Birdpaw turned to find her new mentor and quickly walked over to him. Did they bump noses, or was that only for kits to apprentices and their mentors? No one else was doing it, and an excited hug seemed like too much, so she settled with a gentle forehead bump to his shoulder. "I promise I'll do my best." She said softly, smiling nervously at him. What if he was disappointed that he had her for an apprentice? What then?

The tom swallowed his anxiety the best he could. How would his mentor react to him? He hadn't gotten any previous training and wasn't sure of this cat's expectation for him. He also took note that Beansprout had gotten another apprentice. Amberpaw if he remembered correctly. He took a deep, wavering breath, and picked himself up and searched through the crowd to find his new mentor. His paws were still trembling, but it wasn't as bad. Finally Robinpaw caught the seal point tom, and made his way over. "Er... Hi, I'm Robinpaw..." The large tom wasn't able to directly look at his mentor, instead looking at the older tom's shoulder.

Mintpaw remained at the back of the crowd, staring unbelievingly at Pikestar as he named all the apprentices and their new mentors. So that was it. She hadn't seen Fawnleap in camp for the last weeks, and Mintpaw had relied on Slatestripe for a minimum of training instead.

Every bit of worry receded from her mind as she realized that the black striped tom would be officially her teacher from now on. An invisible burden stopped weighing on Mintpaw's back.
Now, she had someone close who she trusted.

Ferretpaw woke from his nap.. there was a meeting going on?? Jumping to his paws he padded out of the apprentice den in a hurry. All he had heard was something like mentor reassignments? Shaking his head the small tom tucked his tail low as he padded up. Starclan knows how much of the meeting he'd slept through! Looking at Robinpaw for a moment he decided afterward he'd ask for a follow up of what all happened while he was asleep. But before that, he had to go and get a new mentor. Tearing his gaze away from his friend he sleepily stepped forward with the other apprentices.

The large tom had set out to find his new mentor, instead coming across the smaller tom he knew well. "Hi Ferretpaw! I'd love to stay and talk, but I need to find Beansprout, I'll see you later when I go to the den." He said slight anxiety flickering in his eyes at the mention of his mentor, before quickly trotting away to keep looking for him.

Slatestripe was more than pleased that Mintpaw had been re-assigned to him. Under different circumstances, he’d feel apprehensive at the thought of training two apprentices at once. But, he’d already taken the time to train Mintpaw in basic defensive maneuvers. If he could do that while training Autumnpaw, then he could do the rest of her training, too.

The dark warrior stepped up to touch noses with his new apprentice. “We’ll get you that warrior name in no time,” he promised her.

Fogcloud ears perked when their name was called and then they nodded as their hazel eyes looked around for their new apprentice, eyes landed on said apprentice before they slinked over tail flicking.

As the dark warrior approached her and touched her nose, a wave of warmth spread from her head to tail tip; This promise already meant everything to her.

Drizzlepaw smiled. She was going to try and be the best apprentice she could. She felt her fur tingle when she touched their fur. Oh how she wanted to train right away now! It was like a feeling, it pulled her towards the idea of training. She wondered what they would do. Would Fogcloud test her on what she already knew? It had already been a moon and she had taken not a single battle practice, what a shame. "Can we start right away with training?" she blurted out accidently. Oops. She hoped that Fogcloud didnt think she was an uncontrollable ball of fur.

Erebus

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.

-------------------

Littlepaw watched as multiple denmates of hers got new mentors, one of them was Cinderpaw. Pikestar was rightfully angry with the Clan, but this would hopefully be a chance for RiverClan to start doing their duties. Apprentices are important... I'm glad I only had two mentors during my apprenticeship! Vinewatcher may not be anywhere to be seen, but I'm glad Gingerfrost is still here. He'll be a good mentor to his new apprentice!

She tipped her head a little lower, slightly embarrassed. "Uhm... Miss Bluebellcrackle was to be my mentor, but she's gone now," her heart gave a stab of betrayal, "and she didn't teach me anything before she left." She glanced up at the tom timidly. Hopefully he wasn't mad?

[Gay'Fluff]

Ferretpaw lifted his head in excitment as the other apprentices got their mentors, and then he got one to! He purred excitedly as he heard his new mentor would be Otterfluff! Granted the tom wasn't here at the moment was dissapointing... But he was patrolling the borders! That had to mean he'd be a great mentor! He nodded to Robinpaw as the bigger tom went to his own mentor. Since Otterfluff wasn't here, he should at least make himself look like he barely woke up a few minutes ago. Sitting down, he got to grooming his fur.

[Sklee]

Amberpaw slowly padded up to Beansprout. She refused to get her hopes up yet again.

"Hi? I'm Amberpaw. Don't worry, I hopefully won't be an apprentice for too long. And I've had......... Starclan, it might as well literally be ten other mentors who disappeared. So there's no expectations. You won't have to do anything."

She nodded to Robinpaw. "Hopefully you have good luck. I mean, I'm not sure if us training for long together would be good or bad considering the timing, and I haven't had the best time with other apprentices, so I'll try not to be distant. But still, good luck!"

Odd as it seemed, she delivered her speech quickly and quietly, ending it with a forced chuckle. She wouldn't be rude, she couldn't. Then she'd be completely making sure she was the reason no one stuck around. And she couldn't take that. But she was so done hoping for friends or clanmates at all who stuck around.

to be honest, the siamese hadn't expected much out of this meeting. he would attend because that's what he should do, but behind his neutral expression was an unending torrent of negative thoughts and overwhelming emotions. at this point, beansprout was so used to everything racing in his mind that he was almost numb to it. he was able to zone out and focus on pikestar's words while staring into the middle distance.

that was, until his name was called. and he got not one, but two apprentices.

"hey robinpaw, there's no need to be nervous, i promise i don't bite too hard," he attempted a small joke. "just like amberpaw, you can call for me whenever you need me. i'm here for both of you until you become strong riverclan warriors. i promise." maybe... maybe these apprentices would be good for him. after all, beansprout felt a small warmth in his chest that he hadn't felt since his kit... since fawnpaw.... beansprout sighed. he couldn't think of that right now; he had to focus.

The tom tensed slightly when he realized that his anxiety was so noticeable. "Y-Yeah..." He was quiet and glanced away. "E-er.. When are we gonna do our first lesson..?" He asked "forgetting" to mention that he had no clue how to hunt or fight, having never gone through a training lesson.

[Captain]

Catching his breath, Pikestar watched as the older apprentices moved to their now newfound mentors. It was a relief that a vast majority from what the tom could see accepted his new assignments. Hopefully, RiverClan wouldn’t have to deal with such a large amount of lazy mentors ever again. His partial gaze would flicker over to the pairing of Mistycloud and Bouncepaw in particular, observing as the two cats would leave the meeting to start training. Most clan leaders would see it as disrespectful, but Pikestar didn’t really mind. The small calico apprentice had been eager to train ever since his original ceremony, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he was quick to start with a mentor that would actually give him the attention that he desired. Plus, the meeting was almost concluded anyway. There was just one state of business left to take care of and then they’d all be able to return to their daily routines. However, the large oriental tomcat had to admit that he had been looking forward to this part of the meeting, growing even a tad excited despite all the other troublesome things that occurred during today’s announcements. There was one last positive topic to discuss.

“Whitepaw, Littlepaw, and Bluepaw.” Pikestar remarked, finding the three young cats amongst the crowd below, “Please step forward. It is time for your warrior ceremonies.” He would say this with a warm smile sliding onto his expression. New warriors were something that RiverClan had not seen in quite some time, so it was exhilarating to witness from his own standpoint. Plus, it would be Pikestar’s first experience doing a warrior ceremony. Bluepaw was also his apprentice, one of the first ones he had ever been given, so it felt very special to be the one to name him a true warrior. Once Whitepaw, Littlepaw and Bluepaw all came forward, he would officially begin their ceremony, feeling his chest swell with pride and anticipation.

"I, Pikestar, leader of RiverClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down onto these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn." He would state boldly, raising his muzzle to the sky for a brief moment. Were the past fallen apprentices of RiverClan watching them now, giving them all their blessing to become the warriors they could not? Maybe. Pikestar hoped Risingpaw was watching if that were the case. Then, the dark oriental longhair would gently lower his head to peer down at the three apprentices that now stood before him, "Whitepaw, Littlepaw, and Bluepaw. Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" The tall RiverClan leader would fall silent, watching each of them, as everyone awaited their answers. This was their moment. A turning point in every clan cat's life that they have worked hard to reach for many moons.

| Whitepaw of Riverclan |

Whitepaw stepped forward when her name was called, alongside Littlepaw and Bluepaw. [who she suspected were younger than her, considering her luck] "I do." She said with no hesitation, she wouldn't call herself the most loyal to the code, but it's not like she'd bite her tongue on saying a lie, that just gave her away.

// Bluepaw | He|His|Him | RiverClan Apprentice \\

Bluepaw's heart stopped at his name being called. His warrior naming. Was. Happening. Now. He slowly got to his paws and padded up to his former mentor, keeping his happiness deep down inside of him, so he looked emotionless on the outside. "I... I do." The white-furred tomcat breathed slowly, feeling himself shake lightly. Bluepaw stomped down his happiness again, looking up at Pikestar.

Littlepaw smiled as she watched as all apprentices and reassigned mentors got together and start talking to one another. And pretty soon Pikestar began to speak again. Her ears and nose felt hot with anxiety and her eyes went to Cricketsting, hoping to find some sort of encouragement to ease her nerves like he had when they first interacted at a Gathering. The cream tabby still remembered that night vividly, but it no longer brought her stress. Of course, Cricketsting and her were siblings through adoption, but they mainly avoided each other until that Gathering. I wonder why... but it doesn't matter now!

Realizing Whitepaw had already stood up for her ceremony, Littlepaw narrowed her eyes and scurried forward, giving Pikestar an apologetic glance for making him wait.Oops.

"I- I do," her voice was soft, a little hesitant due to her embarrassing moment at not coming when called up right away like Whitepaw was. "I do, Pikestar," she spoke up, more confident than the first time as she laid her eyes on her now former mentor. Although she planned on smothering the new deputy with a hug later on, she couldn't help but mouth a couple of words to the tom who had gotten her through training. "Thank you," she mouthed, casting the grumpy tom a soft, grateful smile.

Drizzlepaw had ran over in an instant as the meeting was announced. She sat back as the leader called the three apprentice's names asking if they wanted to become warriors. Well duh. She glanced at Featherspirit for a quick moment before she got up and quickly shuffled to her, Drizzlepaw's fur fluffed up and she was rubbing with Featherspirit. This felt a lot less awkward with family.

The tom quickle pricked his ear back to the meeting once Pikestar began again. And he just barely remembered the exile of BeastGrowl. He felt his fur prick in that memory, the threat still dancing in his head, like a music box was right next to him, but he couldn't shut it off. And if he was honest. He still was afraid of Pikestar. He had no clue what had happened to get BeastGrowl exiled, and he was too afraid to ask anyone about it. He would rather sit from a distance though.

Cricketsting left his eyes off the meeting, thinking of fish jokes he could use for his apprentice. His focus was brought back to life as he heard the leader call up three apprentices, including Littlepaw!

Looking down at his young sister, the she-cat who once got in trouble just by spilling a silly secret. She grew, and it seemed like her kindness, skills, and maybe wisdom as well had increased. She was now becoming a warrior, a true warrior.

“You got this. You earned it,” he meows loudly as his adopted sibling left and padded to Pikestar.

His limbs tingle, ready to bounce up and down when the RiverClan leader announces the new names for the apprentices. He’ll shout real loud, but even louder for Littlepaw!

Her eyes rounded as the cats slowly stepped up. Them, their family and mentors were really proud. She couldnt wait for when she'd be standing in their places, everyone would finally appreciate her! But she still had a long way to go. She had barely learned to battle! And dont even get her started on the thought of the final assessment. She'd faint from nervousness!

She leaned up to press her nose against Antlerstreak shyly, before pulling away. "Thank you, Mr. Antlerstreak," she said softly. "I'll make sure not to disappoint you."

She tipped her head a little lower, slightly embarrassed. "Uhm... Miss Bluebellcrackle was to be my mentor, but she's gone now," her heart gave a stab of betrayal, "and she didn't teach me anything before she left." She glanced up at the tom timidly. Hopefully he wasn't mad?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.”

Featherspirit still purring softly at her sister and smiling. She mews at her "That will be you some day soon sis."

[Captain]

After summoning the three RiverClan apprentices forward, the long-furred tomcat would begin to give them their names one at a time, in the order that they would step forward. This would make Whitepaw the first to officially get her warrior name. She had been waiting for this for a very long time, no doubt, and it was surely long overdue. But that would change in this very moment. Pikestar would then look down upon the white-and-gray molly, nodding with a small smile as she spoke boldly and without hesitation. “Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Whitepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Whitesnake. StarClan honors your honesty and resolve, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan.” This would be the first of many warriors that the dark-furred oriental would, hopefully, make through their time as RiverClan’s leader. Pikestar hoped that Whitesnake felt proud of herself now for making it to this point in her life.

Next was young Bluepaw. Pikestar’s apprentice. His own student, whom he had trained vigorously for many moons. He felt so proud, so happy, so excited for the white-furred tomcat. They had battled together in the Firefly Cove battle long ago. Bluepaw had seen him become deputy and leader. Both cats had been through a lot together, which made this moment all the more special to Pikestar personally. The tall RiverClan leader nodded to the white-furred tomcat, expressing a warm smile of his own pride and affection, as Bluepaw spoke. “Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Bluepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Bluefang. StarClan honors your bravery and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan.” Ah, finally. Finally, the large oriental longhair had witnessed one of his own apprentices become a true warrior of RiverClan. Pikestar looked forward to see what he’d do and how he would grow into his newly aquired routine.

And last, but certainly not least, wa Littlepaw. Gingerfrost’s apprentice. She was becoming a warrior during the same meeting that he had been named the clan deputy. So both of them obviously were going through a lot of exciting and scary changes. But that was what life was all about, wasn’t it? It should come as no surprise that she was nervous. Pikestar, however, tried his best to soothe her worries with an encouraging smile and nod of his head as she spoke up. “Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Littlepaw, from this moment on you will be known as Littlestream. StarClan honors your curiosity and ingenuity, and we welcome you as a full warrior of RiverClan.” The cream she-cat had been an active face around camp and Pikestar had no doubt been looking forward to the day she’d become a warrior. Hopefully, despite all the troublesome anxiety and shyness within her wouldn’t overshadow the newly-named warrior’s abilities. Littlestream was gonna be fine, and all of RiverClan should look forward to how she’ll grow as a individual through the future moons. Each of these cats should be proud of themselves, because he was.

“Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream!” Pikestar shouted, beginning the chant of RiverClan’s newest warriors. A bold and thrilling way to end this clanwide meeting today, but the tall oriental tomcat wouldn’t have it any other way. There was a lot going on withing his clan, and many of their clanmates were well aware of that fact. But through the bad, there could be good. And this new generation of warriors should surely show that to everyone present. Pikestar, after chanting for a good while, would then gentle lower his voice until growing completely silent. He took several seconds to allow his partial gaze to drift over the crowd of RiverClan cats below, smiling and nodding approvingly. Once their own chants would calm down, the dark-furred feline would speak one last time. “And with that, our meeting is concluded. Everyone is dismissed. Be safe and never forget to be there for one another.” Pikestar would then stand up and leap off the Streamstone, heading off to his den with his tail swishing. There were several cats that surely needed to speak with him.

// Bluefang | He|His|Him | RiverClan Warrior \\

Bluefang was shanking at his new name. Bluefang. No longer Bluepaw. Now, it was Bluefang. I can't believe it! I'm a full warrior of RiverClan now! He smiled proudly at the crowd of cats, cheering his new name. The white-furred tomcat even cheered the other two apprentice's new names: Whitesnake and Littlestream to show his own respects before jumping down and walking off.

[Dirtfur]

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?

[SpirtTheRat0w0]

Lilacbreeze chanted with the crowd.

"Whitesnake! Bluefang! Little stream!" She walked away when she heard the meeting conclude.

[MockingRabbit]

"Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream!" Troutstone chanted RiverClan's newest warrior's names.
Webkit turned around and padded back to his nest.

Antlerstreak made sure to be gentle as he tapped his nose against the apprentice’s, a slight smile on his face,

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.

[Sklee]

“Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream! Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream! Whitesnake! Bluefang! Littlestream!"



Amberpaw shouted their names, hoping to give them every bit of recognition they surely deserved.

[Willowfern]

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 of Riverclan - Riverclan Streamstone - Warrior Ceremony/Post Meeting |

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.

[Faith.]

Dappledpaw
She/her

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.

[Burning'Flame]

"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.

[nykyrian]

Erebus

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.

She watched as the meeting drew to a close, and the other left to go on with training. Kestrelpaw was gone, so she probably jumped on the opportunity to train.

Turning to Antlerstreak, her pretty face lit up in a sweet beam. "Can we go right now, Mr. Antlerstreak?" The excitement and anticipation spilled into her voice, framing her ambition.

[SpiritWolf_yt]

Peachpaw shouted out" BLUFANG!!! LITTLESTREAM!! WHITESNAKE!!!!" she shouted

" BLUEFANG! LITTLESTREAM WHITESNAKE!!" swiftflight and echoblue shouted happily

Cinderpaw shrugged as she saw heard that littlepaw was no longer an apprentice she was now a warrior now she truly felt a bit lonely the apprentice sighed sadly" bluefang whitesnake little-s-stream" she said till the last word made it hard for her to say littlepaw won't be sleeping in the apprentice den now everything feels different

[Willowfern]

Antlerstreak gave a short, rusty purr at the apprentice’s enthusiasm. He knew for certain that there was going to be a very rewarding mentor-apprentice bond to develop in the future.
“Absolutely, I’ll show you everywhere within a reasonable walking distance,” Antlerstreak reasoned, as he rose to his paws and shook out his fur, that the locations that took a longer time than reasonable to reach, would have to be ruled out for this first-day tour, “Come on, then. Not a moment to lose, the day is fleeting.”

Deciding to join in the chanting, the cream tabby stepped back and raised her voice to meet those of her Clanmates. This is it. We're all warriors!

"Whitesnake! Bluefang!" she cheered for her denmates, excited to become a warrior alongside them. Once she was done cheering, she sped forward and spread her paws to latch onto her former mentor, letting out a few tears.

"Thank you. F-for everything," she purred as she hugged the grumpy tom. After clinging to her former mentor for what seemed like moons, Littlestream let go and stepped back to hear what Gingerfrost ( Estelle ) had to say before going back to hug her brother. Approaching the pun-loving tom, the cream tabby smiled and hugged him, burrowing her nose into his fur. "Thank you for being there for me." He had been the only support she had during the first Gathering she attended, and had never forgotten how much he had done for her to calm her nerves. "I love you, big brother."

No training from his former mentor? And he's been an apprentice for two moons? Reedwhisker was about to talk to him about a border tour to start off, but it seemed like he had gotten it from a warrior who was kind enough to help. That's good, I suppose. He just needs a swimming lesson, water hunting, and land hunting... not too bad.

"You just need to learn how to hunt, both in water and on land... you know the borders, do you know the territory?" Goodness, it seemed like warriors were really slacking on their jobs. "Is there a preference to what you'd like to start with first?"

Reedwhisker had been entrusted with quite a few cats: Nightpaw, Larkpaw, and Rowanpaw. Of course, Nightpaw's training was done. All she needed was her assessment. If she becomes a warrior at the next meeting, I think RiverClan will be quite happy. We're growing and improving, which is something we need to survive this leaf-bare...

[Estelle]

It still felt… Weird. Wrong, almost. While the meeting had mostly moved on he could still hear the wayward congratulation and smile meant for him here and there. One such was none other than the infamous Birdpaw, his head turning to look down at the smaller apprentice. He would give a nod, as he had done most others, but paused when she unexpectedly asked if she could give him a good job hug? The mackerel tabby didn’t know how to react. His eyes remained on her, unmoving, as one would almost believe his mind went blank – not truly, but it could appear as such. He somehow couldn’t say no, something was willing him against that which was strange. The only hug he ever gave, besides to his mothers, was Lotusheart. When they said goodbye. Sometimes he wondered how she was doing now. ...Would she be proud of him?

His thoughts were interrupted when his name, again, was called from the Streamstones. His dark green eyes snapped up to Pikestar then turned back to Birdpaw, still at his side, realisation dawning on the tom. He was supposed to train her. He blinked once, twice, looked at the apprentice and took a breath before finally giving a nod to her words. He was training her. The one and only Birdpaw, who (and who’s friends) somehow always managed to attract all kinds of trouble. Do not think he forgot the river stunt. A breath left him. This was going to be ride – a glance in her direction – but there couldn’t be much training left for her. Perhaps those trouble attracting tendencies have died down since… Although that sounded almost far fetched to hope for. At least she would try her best.

Something in his position shifted when he heard Littlepaw, alongside another, to be called forward. His eyes fell onto his soon to be former apprentice, knowing full well what was about to happen. That too, felt… Strange. He watched her step forward, promise to lay down her life for RiverClan. … Receive her name and attributes. It fit her. It did. Littlestream. What was that unusual feeling?

Before he knew it, before he could even finish chanting the new names, something flew around him. And that something was none other than his now former apprentice. The grumpy tabby was almost dumbstruck, not expecting the sudden embrace. And yet when she uttered that ‘thank you’, a ginger paw managed to break free from his near frozen state and lightly come to lie on the new warrior’s back. It felt so strange, he hadn’t hugged anyone since… Well, his mother and Lotusheart. That moons ago, hugs weren’t for him. But something willed him to give her this moment. Was that weird feeling, the small pit in his stomach, pride? Was he proud of her becoming a warrior? His eyes fell on Littlestream, that answered enough. Or was there, too, a bit of regret that his own mentor never got to see him become a warrior? Dropping his paw to the ground when Littlestream pulled back he watched her run to give Cricketsting a hug too. She’d be fine as a warrior.

As the three apprentices came forward to receive their names, Slatestripe felt a mixture of pride and hope course through him. Pride for all of the apprentices, but especially for Littlepaw. She had grown since he’d first met her, and was quickly becoming a fine, confident adult. And hope, for RiverClan’s strength in the coming moons. New warriors was always a blessing. He looked forward to the day when Autumnpaw completed her training.

As Littlepaw’s warrior ceremony began, Slatestripe couldn’t help but think of what he’d name her, if it were up to him. He enjoyed thinking about warrior names; blending the first and second parts together to make something special was an enjoyable process. Littlefire, he decided after a few moments. Yes, that name would suit you just fine.

Pikestar ended up naming her Littlestream. As soon as the warrior ceremonies concluded, Slatestripe took a deep breath and let it erupt in a powerful yowl. “Littlestream!” In a slightly lower voice, he chanted the names of RiverClan’s other two new warriors, Bluefang and Whitesnake.

The dark warrior bounded toward the trio after the meeting was dismissed. First, to Bluefang and Whitesnake, he offered courteous congratulations. “Congratulations, you two. RiverClan is better off to have two capable warriors well-equipped for their futures.”

Now, for Littlestream. It had been some time since he’d last spoken with her. “Littlestream,” he purred. “Congratulations. This is an honor that is well-deserved, to put it succinctly. You’ve really begun to blossom into a strong, confident adult. I know you will make a wonderful warrior, and I am more than pleased to serve beside you.”

Bluefang smiled when Slatestripe spoke to him. "Thank you, Slatestream." He said, bowing his head, and walking off. He glanced back and saw him talking to Littlestream more. He smiled even more. He cares a lot for her, it's cute. He turned his head back and walked away.

[nykyrian]

No training from his former mentor? And he's been an apprentice for two moons? Reedwhisker was about to talk to him about a border tour to start off, but it seemed like he had gotten it from a warrior who was kind enough to help. That's good, I suppose. He just needs a swimming lesson, water hunting, and land hunting... not too bad.

"You just need to learn how to hunt, both in water and on land... you know the borders, do you know the territory?" Goodness, it seemed like warriors were really slacking on their jobs. "Is there a preference to what you'd like to start with first?"

Reedwhisker had been entrusted with quite a few cats: Nightpaw, Larkpaw, and Rowanpaw. Of course, Nightpaw's training was done. All she needed was her assessment. If she becomes a warrior at the next meeting, I think RiverClan will be quite happy. We're growing and improving, which is something we need to survive this leaf-bare...

"I know enough." Between patrols, and escaping camp he had gathered a pretty good idea, and surely there would be plenty of natural opportunities to fill in the rest of the gaps. He planned out getting out of camp as much as he could.

They took a good second to answer. Their face visibly distorting at the thought of getting wet again as they thought of their time at lionsbeach. The novelty of fetching the plants quickly wore off as he was forced to spend the rest of the day chilled to the bone, no he would hold off on that for as long as possible. He didn't even really like fish that much, which was odd coming from a Riverclan cat. But in reality that title meant nothing, didn't it? When you could just pack up and leave everyone behind at any given moment just because you felt like it.

That line of thought was plenty enough to bring his sour mood back. His demeanor shifted slightly, possibly to accompany the fiery pit ever-growing in his stomach. But as he spoke to his new mentor, he tried to swallow down the venom that laced his tongue, ready to attack. "Land-hunting, I feel like that would help me more."

//Apologies for the lateness! Feel free to not respond!

Reedwhisker

The young warrior couldn't help but raise a brow as she listened to her new apprentice and hear 'I know enough' of the territory and borders. He's probably been around the territory before then. Perhaps he's mischievous or he's just an active Clanmate. But Reedwhisker was glad when Larkpaw quickly answered her next question, this time with a more reasonable and convincing response.

"Land-hunting's what we'll do first then. Get rest and eat something. I'll call you when I've prepared our lesson." That was surely good enough. Reedwhisker would be ready in a matter of a couple of days. Larkpaw at least knew some things that would help him become a warrior. He knows the territory. He just needs to learn how to hunt land prey- I'll see if he knows how to fish when we are doing our lesson.

Littlestream

Pleasure poked its way through to her eyes. Pikestar had led the chanting of the new warriors, and Littlestream couldn't ask for a better ceremony. Soon enough, the RiverClan leader had dismissed the meeting and everything was going back to the way it was, though everyone was happier than before. Slatestripe appeared before the three new warriors, he was the second loudest voice amongst her Clanmates when shouting her name. No doubt, her friends were proud of her. And she was proud of herself for coming so far.

"Thank you, Slatestripe!" she chirped happily. "I'm pleased to serve RiverClan beside you, as well."

There wasn't much more she could say at the moment, so she gave a simple dip of her head and went into the reeds her friend had shown her to begin her silent vigil. It'll be a cold night, I'm glad Slatestripe showed these reeds to me before I became a warrior.

[Estelle]

After his troubling talk with Fawnpaw the tabby deputy was subject to calling a meeting - not how he anticipated his day, but necessary. Even with Pikestar sick clan life had to go on, as the medicine cat had said. The tom heaved a sigh, eyes stalking up the stones, a covered grimace pulling at the edge of his mind. It wasn't exactly his favourite position, even if he'd never been up there. He could just call a meeting from the ground; it shouldn't pose an issue. Even if from up there he'd have better sight over the panicking cats when they'll hear him - and not Pikestar - call a meeting. Seemed characteristic enough for the clan. Huffing another breath Gingerfrost had to make up his mind, awkwardly leaping up the streamstone. Up there, for a moment, he paused. The markings of claws were etched into the much too cold stone, the likes of which he knew belonged to. At least, some of these. Select warriors and apprentices in the clan always were there to cause such markings, now traces of past leaders - a spot his sister would've idolised. It added a strange feeling, much as he was grateful it would only have to be this once. Casting his gaze over the ever bustling clearing, the time had come. Taking in a sharp breath, casting aside the unusual feeling, Gingerfrost had to raise his head in order to call the clan together.

"RiverClan, gather around for a clan meeting!"

Fawnpaw
Emerging from her den right after Gingerfrost, Fawnpaw made her way over to where she normally saw the deputies sit during Clan meetings. There was surely a spot for medicine cats, but right now the young she-cat simply wished to sit where she could face the Clan and keep an eye out for any disrespectful behavior. The only two cats who had seen her growth, per say, were her brother and a rather unfortunate older warrior who had thought it a good idea to sass her.

Taking a seat and sitting up tall and straight, the young medicine cat faced the clearing where the cats would gather, placing her fluffy tail on the ground and setting her paws on top of it to keep them warm and off the cold ground. Briefly, she glanced up to give Gingerfrost a look of encouragement before returning her gaze. Hopefully the light smile on her face would keep everyone from panicking; after all, if Pikestar were dead, why would his younger sister be smiling?

[Buzzin' Bee]

Seapaw was sitting in the clearing when he heard slightly familiar voice call a meeting. He trotted over too the rock, seeing that Gingerfrost was up there ... not Pikestar. Seapaw thought for the worst "Oh no!!! Did something happen too Pikestar!!!" He blurted out, though it was probably a mistake. He didn't want too cause false rumors but Seapaw had already said it.

The apprentice shook leafs out of his long fur and crawled out of his den at the sound of a meeting.

He looked who had called it and to his surprise, it was the deputy, Gingerfrost. He tilted his head in slight confusion and shrugged.

He sleepily made his way to the streamstone to see a cat, a warrior make their way to the stone as well. Still in a daze,
He stumbled over to the cat, Pondwhisker, was it? He didn’t know.

“Hello, I am Bouncepaw, who are you?”

~ Motheye had seem to enter the camp the moment the deputy had called a meeting. The tabby had a wash of confusion on their face before putting their gaze onto the medicine cat. Ah. She was smiling so nothing too bad happened to the clans current leader. When Motheye took a seat they didn't pay much attention where he sat amongst his fellow clanmates. ~

[Captain]

CLOUDPAW
⸻⸻⸻
➣ Upon hearing a rather unfamiliar voice calling together a RiverClan meeting, the curly-furred tomcat slowly poked his head out of the apprentice’s den. He would soon see none other than Gingerfrost placed up onto the Streamstone, with Fawnpaw sat comfortably below on ground-level. Seeing the small smile present on the young medicine cat’s face, Cloudpaw would then allow himself to breathe. If she was smiling, then it surely meant nothing bad was happening. Or else that journey his dear friend had endured had affected her in more sinister ways than he had expected. It most likely meant ol Fishstar hadn’t croaked yet, which was good, because Cloudpaw was finally starting to get used to the minnow-brained idiot. Finally moving his paws, the large RiverClan apprentice moved out into the camp clearing and quietly over to the Streamstone. A tiny part of him wanted to sit near his best friend, but knew that it probably wasn’t appropriate. This rank meant a lot to her and he knew that, so he needed to remain professional. Soon, he'd would be a warrior, so best to start acting like it.

With that decided, the young feline took his place among the growing crowd, towards the back and off to the side. His short ears twitched at Seapaw’s abrupt comment regarding Pikestar’s whereabouts, which made Cloudpaw nearly send a sarcastic retort back, but he simply held his tongue. RiverClan had been through a lot these past moons and immediately cause for concern was understandable, but they all should at least hold a little common sense. He exhaled softly and silently began to draw his tongue over his chest fur, grooming idly until the meeting would begin. Hopefully, this meeting would go smoothly, but knowing their track record, Cloudpaw held onto the little inner peace they had while it would last. As long as they didn't have another Beastgrowl incident occur, then surely he would be able to behave himself.

Slatestripe lifted his head, surprise widening his eyes. Gingerfrost was calling a Clan meeting? What in StarClan’s name was going on now? Pikestar had only just assumed leadership of RiverClan a few moons ago. Had he already died!?

Feeling a pit forming in his stomach, the small warrior decided to go and find out what was going on. He prayed that what he feared wasn’t true. RiverClan didn’t need to lose their leader right now. Not after all they’d been going through as of late.

[SpiritedWarrior]

Reedwhisker

Reedwhisker came out of the warrior's den shaking her pelt. She did not wish to leave her nest, but wanted to find out why Gingerfrost had called a meeting instead of Pikestar. Had something happened to the oriental leader? Oh, goodness, I hope not! Despite her growing concern, the dark brown warrior padded over to the Streamstone and sat down, ears perked to hear the ginger tom's announcement.

Fawnpaw was next to the Streamstone, which didn't really help ease her growing concern. But what did ease her concern was the smile on the young medicine cat's face. Phew... that makes this so much easier. Pikestar's alive, but why is he not here? I suppose Gingerfrost is going to tell us what happened.

Littlestream

The last meeting hadn't been that long ago, yet she heard the voice of her former mentor calling the Clan together. The last time this happened was when Skystar had died and Pikestar- Snowleap at the time- had announced it. I hope Pikestar's not dead... he was a good leader- I mean, he still is! Not that Gingerfrost wouldn't- I'm going to shut up now. Shaking her head, the young cream tabby warrior stalked out of the warrior's den and sat down near the edge of the crowd, her eyes set on the deputy.

She also took note of Fawnpaw ( birdie ) and dipped her head in silent greeting, if Fawnpaw was happy, then Pikestar was just fine. It still raised a question or two about the dark-furred leader's whereabouts, though...

Nightfeather looked up as a meeting was called at the stream stone. Oddly enough, it was Gingerfrost who was calling the meeting and not Pikestar. Getting up with a slight scowl as she was a bit irritated, not at anything in particular, just in general, she padded up to where other cats were gathering and sat down at the back of the crowd of cats who had come to the clan meeting as well. Wrapping her tail around her paws she glanced up at Gingerfrost, wondering what he was calling a meeting for, and why it was him and not Pikestar who was calling it.

[Bean.]

Nightpaw walks out of the apprentice den and pads to see where the others are at. That Isnt Pikestar... She didnt really remember GingerFrost That much.. Isnt he GingerFrost... he seems nice I guess tho I didnt meet him in person... I guess he was given the place of deputy when she was out. Nightpaw sits down keeping her distance from the others... Where is pikestar.. they havent been seen around this area.... She spots Fawnpaw and looks at her worriedly.. She seems happy, that must mean Pikestar is fine... right? I hope it means that. Nightpaw looks down worriedly, In more likely fear, It feels so weird to be at meeting again, Why do I feel like this... Maybe I should... calm down... breath...

Gingerfrost had just made a call from the Streamstone, and everyone was supposed to attend. Before rising to her paws, she gave her body a good stretched and padded up to the edge of the clearing where he sat down with her tail curled up on her paws.
Where's Pikestar...? Mintpaw glanced around, but the leader was nowhere to be seen. Her sister, the medicine cat, looked eagerly at the deputy. She guessed she might know, as she didn't looked alarmed or worried as other of her clanmates were.

Perhaps her deputy would announce a new enemy that she could go and fight. Her claws dug into the Earth with excitement. I will vanquish any enemy that stands in Riverclan's way! For I am Featherflame the fierce!

[Pitou]

**Doeheart**

The lilac queen stepped out of the nursery, blinking up at the ginger tabby tom. Her stomach twisted in a knot as she recognized not Pikestar but Gingerfrost. She hadn't a single bad thought of the deputy but so much death and loss had plagued Riverclan. Doeheart didn't concern herself with clan politics but she respected her leader as the leader of her clan and the thought of losing yet another leader in so short a time was almost more than the fragile queen could bear in the moment. So she swallowed against the lump forming in her throat and laid down, drooping her belly fur over her crouching legs to keep warm and steadier as she took in slow measured breaths in an effort to keep her ears free from the ringing of worry so she could hear what Gingerfrost had to say.

[MockingRabbit]

Troutstone padded over upon hearing Gingerfrost's call. Why wasn't Pikestar calling? Troutstone hoped everything was fine.

[Rose]

Flintfang existed in the back of the crowd. Really, his roleplayer has zero idea how to give him a wall of text.

The tom nodded with a soft smile. "Alright." He was relieved
his rambunctious sister hadn't caused heads to turn. "Now past
that issue..I think since we have time and if you don't mind. We could
get to know one another." His dark blue gaze traveled from
DapplePaw to their clan-mates.

Koikit awoke from his daydreaming at the deputy's call and blinked a few times slowly before getting up and shaking himself off. He yawned and took a number of steps forward to gather with the rest of his clan. He wondered what this would be about - he was used to seeing Pikestar call meetings. But he didn't mind either way. Most of the stuff announced didn't concern him.

Fennelcall's ears pricked up from where he was seated in the clearing, as a clan meeting was called by.. Gingerfrost? a wave of confusion washed over him as he padded closer towards the front of the gathering cats, he spotted a couple of his siblings already there awaiting to hear what in the stars was happening, he noticed that Gullpaw had begun chatting to another apprentice, Dapplepaw. He couldn't help smiling slightly, he had been worried that the little tom wouldn't make many friends when he became an apprentice, and especially after both of his fathers left the clan, but Gullpaw seemed to be doing just fine now, which was a relief. Fennelcall sat down, his gaze now on Gingerfrost, the deputy didn't seem panicked too much, so Fennelcall guessed that it wasn't too serious, but you never know..

[pxxylo]

> RACCOONEAR

Exhaust in the gray molly's blue eyes, she slunk forward and out of the warrior's den, sitting in a place to optimize her view of everyone, an elevated space near the back. Who knew what could happen, or what needed to be handled?

[sock]

Rainglow made his way to the stone.

(lazy post, quite busy!)

[Estelle]

Silently the tabby watched the clan gather one by one, half expecting the majority of them to erupt in senseless screaming. ‘Pikestar!’ ‘what happened to Pikestar’, he would have imagined them to say, but instead only one voice rose above to voice that concern, belonging to one of their apprentices. Perhaps it must be the calm presence of Fawnpaw below stone, a quick glance downwards to the young molly he briefly found looking up at him too, seeming rather smiley. Most of the clan must’ve gotten the memo that nothing terrible was happening from the look on her face, and those who couldn’t see from the calmer presence of others. That was a first, to say the least. But not a first Gingerfrost was opposed to. Still, he could see the evident concern in their faces, and for that he couldn’t blame them.

“Pikestar is fine,”
The tom decided to begin with that, a light glance directed Seapaw’s way to ensure the apprentice heard the news.
“However he has caught a cough. Until further notice, Pikestar will be quarantined in his den. No one, besides Fawnpaw or Marigoldleap, is allowed to go see him. We do not need this sickness spreading, and Pikestar requires rest in order to recover.”
He paused briefly, letting the information sink as he looked down upon the clan with a serious gaze. While he didn’t believe Pikestar to be in immediate danger, he felt it necessary to properly stress the importance of the dark-furred leader being left alone.
“Until Fawnpaw says otherwise, all issues and inquiries are to be directed to me, or one of the shields. I trust you all vigilant enough to remember that.”

A silence fell over him as he carefully watched the clan for their reaction. He could understand them being worried for the leader, although hopefully that wouldn’t cause any troublesome antics. The whole point of his warning them was to avoid further trouble.
“If any of you begin to show whatever signs of sickness, you are to go see Fawnpaw straight away. For any further concerns you can come see me after the meeting.”
It felt a little silly saying that, when there weren’t any concerns to be had about what he said, at least none the tabby could do anything about within the moment. But no matter. It was better to give them the option anyway, as to hopefully avoid any major interruptions. ...Yes, perhaps he regarded the clan as some being to tamed sometimes. But could you blame him? They hadn’t had one peaceful, smooth meeting or gathering since he returned home. He needed to have all his bases covered if he wanted this to go well and get down from the stone as soon as possible. He didn’t exactly enjoy the eyes of all his clan mates watching his every step up here.

Heaving a light huff, he decided they had had enough time to let the previous information sink in. Casting his gaze over the crowd, it didn’t seem as though many (or any) kits attended. He had intentionally called together ‘RiverClan’ rather than ‘all those old enough to swim’, as part of this meeting would concern them too. But oh well. It was cold out, better not have any kits get sick too.

Clearing his throat, the ginger feline refocused his gaze on the overall sea of cats before continuing his announcement.
“Furthermore, I’d like to announce that we will be implementing new activities for our kits. As to offer occupations” (outside of causing trouble) “And better prepare them for apprenticeship, the following lessons will be instilled:
Clan etiquette, clan history, clan relations, basic hunting, basic self defence, herb basics, swimming basics, and for our older kits, actual swimming.”

“Kits will be expected to partake in at least two of these eight lessons before their apprentice ceremonies, of which basic swimming is obligatory.”
Silently watching the clan once more, he gave them several moments to let the information sink in. It was a slight jump from the news of Pikestar’s sickness to this, but as a lot was to be said, he just wanted to get it over with while everyone was still paying attention. Absently swaying his tail slightly, the tabby tom decided this was a good time to elaborate on how exactly this would work and what the lessons would be holding. It should avoid too many interrogations by the end of the meeting. Hopefully. Taking in a deep breath, for he normally never spoke as much and it was a bother to keep his voice clear and audible, the young deputy began.
“Clan etiquette will cover anything concerning appropriate behaviour at gatherings, meetings and around strangers - both from and outside of clans. It will include teaching the warrior code as well.
Clan history should be clear, it’ll be teaching the kits of our history either through precise stories or direct recounting of larger events.
Clan relations is similar, but it’ll focus on the here and now, such as current high ranks and happenings, recent history involving the other three clans and how we stand with them. I will be taking part in that.

Herb lessons will be held by Fawnpaw, and elaborated on by her.

Basic hunting, as the name says, will cover all the basics of hunting such as crouching and proper pouncing.
Self-defence will teach our kits simple moves to stay safe and what to watch out for in and out of camp.
Swimming basics will consist of everything to expect and what should and shouldn’t be done. It may practice movement on land as well.
These three are to happen inside of camp only.

If the swimming basics go well, then occasional trips to Cattail pond may be held to give the kits proper swimming lessons. As to avoid… Trouble. That will be reserved to kits three moons and up, and should be under the company of several warriors. Pikestar, I, Fawnpaw or a shield should be made aware beforehand.”

Finally. The tabby let a huff, fluffing his fur against the cold breeze. That might as well have been more words than he’d spoken in his entire life, but he opted to be precise. Now it was just… Waiting again, for them all to let that sink in. He quite honestly wanted to sit down, but that weirdly enough just didn’t feel right – weird. So, he decided to remain standing, even if his cold paw pads would be cursing him for that. But alright, he was almost done with the new kitten lessons, one breath in preparation.
“Each lesson will have up to three instructors, who can either work together or divide the lessons among them. For the time being, there will be allowed no more than one apprentice, who will serve as an aid.
If you are interested in instructing any of these lessons, you may come see me after the meeting. This goes to all warriors, (shields,) and every queen and elder too.”
Hmm. That sounded about right. He did have some cats in mind already, but it would have to be up to them.

“Mentors,”
He swept his gaze over the crowd, picking out those he knew had apprentices.
“If you consider your apprentice is in need of it, you may send them to clan etiquette. However I do not expect all of our apprentices to suddenly appear there.”
That mainly being a warning to the mentors not to begin slacking now, just because there would be a class that can re-teach the better way to behave among the clan and outside of it.
“Additionally, any outsiders who will join or has recently joined, regardless of age, will be welcome to attend any of the etiquette, history or relation lessons.

That should be all. Lightly flicking his tail from right to left in a single motion, he paused before adding the last few words.
“Any questions?”


[ For any ooc questions regarding the new curriculum, you can either vm or pm me.
To anyone interested in instructing any of the lessons, a finder will be set up where you can apply your cat(s)! ]

Fogcloud blinked as Gingerfrost spoke, humming lightly when she heard that Pikestar was sick but was getting taken care of by Fawnpaw. Though their ears perked that there would be some activites would be implemented to stop kits from causing trouble.


Cicadapaw listened quietly, tail gently pulled over their paws as they listened to Gingerfrost.

Goosehonk frowned when he heard Pikestar was sick and honked sadly.

[Captain]

Goosehonk frowned when he heard Pikestar was sick and honked sadly.From within the depths of the RiverClan leader den, nestled at the bottom of the Streamstone, came a small sickly honk in response.

[wolfie]

wormbite's ears perked up at the sound of a sad honk - an uncontrollable urge arose to return it, but he resisted. he fought hard, shifting into a different sitting position. however, it all failed when he heard the return of pikestar's sickly honk and couldn't stop his own wormy honk. honk. wormbite paused. he quickly licked his shoulder to cover up the fact. wasn't him. no. focus on gingerfrost. yeah.

[pxxylo]

All she could hear was honking, the meeting had been drowned out in her mind. Gone, all there was...honk. honk. honk. A small honk escaped her mouth. honk. That was all, all it was for this meeting, honking. She could once again focus on the meeting, it was just that... a honk needed to be made, from her.

Flintfang
He/Him

Flintfang had no idea why his Clan had suddenly started communicating in honks. But he'd heard Pikestar's sickly sound, and it brought pity to the hardened heart of the broken warrior. Tipping his face to the sky, the silver warrior spent a few moments, searching for the stars of Silverpelt. He wished his baby sister was up there somewhere, shining among the stars. Eyes crinkling at the corners, the RiverClanner let out a sad, squeaky honk of his own. Who knew what it meant. Definitely not him.

[Sklee]

Oh? Lessons and activities for kits? Amberpaw gave the nursery a playful look, almost like it was alive. Honestly, she could have used more then just the swimming lessons then she got when she was a kit, so she was all for it. They'd feel more like part of the clan, learn important skills, and get something to occupy their time with. If she ever became a warrior, she'd be all too happy to teach some of the lessons.

[Willowfern]

Antlerstreak slipped out of the Warrior’s den, he was late to the meeting, and the first thing he heard was five honks echoing through the camp.
Odd.
Antlerstreak shrugs, he’s not surprised, RiverClan is strange.

The newly appointed Crabkit had been peeking out of the Nursery. She hasn't really listened to what the leader-deputy was doing but she could smell the one she now referred to as Fenneltoe. Upon smelling him, she smirked before waddling towards the warrior. She had to narrow down where he was, so she wouldn't land on another cat. Target acquired! Crabkit crouched, preparing to launch herself at were she thought his tail was. Instead she landed awkwardly directly behind him. Oops. Hopefully the Fenneltoe hadn't noticed,,

“I’d like to volunteer to teach some things,” Goldenleaf meowed cheerfully.

[Burning'Flame]

Egretpaw was sleepily padding out of the apprentice den when he heard honks. The tom wasn't very surprised, just a little curious.


Sparrowpaw was sitting in the corner, when she heard honking. The she-cat looked up, surprised.

Spiritfur was late to the meeting, not surprised of course. She was sleeping after a long night of silent crying. The meeting was being announced by Gingerfrost, but that was because Pikestar had a cough.

[MockingRabbit]

Troutstone considered joining in with teaching, but he was unsure which subject he should go for. Certainly not the first three, for he barely knew what was going on in his own Clan half the time. Obviously not herb training. That left hunting, self-defense and swimming. Maybe...?

[Peachy Wolf27]

Oh, cool! Carp’Kit thought

[poppy]

Birdpaw listened to the meeting. At first, she had known that her dad was okay, because of the way Ginger called the meeting. Her dad was okay. But the increasing amount of screams did nothing for her anxiety, and the ragdoll looked up at Gingerfrost, hoping that the explanation would come soon.

Her dad was sick, and quarantined to his den. Now, Birdpaw heard that no one but Ginger and the medicine cats were allowed to see him, but the young molly was already concocting ways to leave him some presents without breaking the quarantine rule.

Blizzardwind listened to the meeting, brow furrowed in concern for his former apprentice, but he knew the leader was in capable paws when it came to getting better.

The loud yowl of Gingerfrost broke across camp, summoning the Riverclanners from its farthest reaches. Lilycreek padded back to the Streamstone, before frowning as she spotted her new adoptive son.


"Hello, Briarwillow," she greeted politely, before glancing at the kit. "Lynxkit, what are you doing out here?"

[ Jingle Bell Dragon ]


Bluebellpaw and Kestrelpaw came to the Streamstone.
"to See the Fussy Ginger kitty!" Lynxkit meowed up to his mother
Briarwillow dipped her head to the she-cat "you got one handfull of a son there Lilycreek" she chuckled "he nearly gave me a heartattack earlier when he poped out of no-where and pounced on me!"

[Spotty]

Crowpaw

The enormous apprentice had no interest in attending the meetings, but it didn't seem she had much of a choice. She had been sitting there, minding her own when the orange cat suddenly summoned everyone to come and sit here as well. So what was she to do - just walk away? She was almost certain someone would have noticed her and called her out for just leaving when a meeting was starting up. So she had remained in her place, silently enduring the meeting.

The news about the sick leader hardly concerned her. What, was she supposed to feel worry or empathy for a cat she just bearly knew the name of? Who was only the least bit significant to her because he was in charge of this clan? If he recovered nothing would be changed, if he lost a life it won't affect her, if he lost all lives it would merely be a minor irritation due to the emotions it would cause in her clanmates, but after that things would move on again.

The other things concerned her somewhat more, and she was glad she had been made an apprentice before these things were introduced. No way she would have survived going through those. But she was a little worried her mentor would send her to one of them. She didn't want to, and she would do all in her power to keep them out of her way. But what if she didn't have a day in the matter.

Sitting at her seat quietly, Fawnpaw was quick to notice an apprentice come up yowling about Pikestar in concern. She did her best to shoot them a look that hopefully conveyed that her brother - their Clan leader - was perfectly alright. Though Seapaw was the only cat who seemed to voice their concern to such a degree, the young medicine cat was not blind to the rippling tension and concern from her Clanmates. She supposed she could understand it - after all, the last time a deputy had called a Clan meeting it had been to announce the death of a leader.

Despite those who had worry written clearly on their faces, a few eyes seemed to catch her expression, Littlestream among them. She had been made a warrior while Fawnpaw had been away according to Wormbite, so the young medicine cat returned the dip of her head with a smile, mouthing the word "congratulations!" towards the new warrior. It was good that the Clan had new life breathed into it, and that things had kept on marching even with her gone.

A few other chatters caught her ear; Gullpaw and Dappledpaw were quietly discussing something, probably catching up before the meeting started. Pairs of warriors exchanging glances, perhaps wondering why it was Gingerfrost and not Pikestar calling a meeting. All in all it didn't seem too chaotic. Fawnpaw felt relief wash over her as she allowed her eyes to continue to weave around the gathered cats. Everything was going to be - wait.

Blue eyes widened a bit as they rested upon the face of a cat she had been told died. Nightpaw?? But Wormbite had said... Was this another Silverpaw case? Where she had died, but was now back? Fawnpaw couldn't help but stare at the resurrected apprentice before her, as if the longer she looked the more answered would reveal themselves. How had she died? And why did she get sent back? Another second or two passed before she had to blink, if only to make sure that her friend wasn't some sort of apparition. Once it was confirmed that it was, in fact, Nightpaw, Fawnpaw twitched her whiskers and waved her tail, attempting to catch her eye and offer a soft smile. Tears tickled her eyes but didn't spill over; there would be time after the meeting to catch up.

Soon enough Gingerfrost launched into the reasoning for calling the meeting, wasting no time which Fawnpaw appreciated. She kept a careful gaze on the Clan to catch any reactions of the news of her brother's sickness. At the mention of the quarantine she gave a nod to confirm Gingerfrost's words, taking note that she would have to personally enforce that less some cats got the minnowbrained idea to try and bother her brother while he was recovering. He then went on to remind the Clan to visit her in her den if any of them started feeling sick, to which she nodded in agreement. Hopefully they would have the same faith in her as she had in herself now; times had certainly changed from when she had first been appointed, what with now being practically full grown and older.

Next was the kit curriculum that had been discussed, and Fawnpaw was eager to see the reactions of her Clan. She was excited to be getting to teach the young ones of the Clan the basics of herbs, and though it was far off it made her excited to eventually select an apprentice of her own. Perhaps these lessons would be a good way to keep an eye out for any future potential. Of course, that was still a ways off. Despite getting close to being done with her training Fawnpaw knew she still had quite the ways to go.

With Gingerfrost wrapping up his potion, Fawnpaw was about to rise to her paws to explain the herb lessons when a lowly honk could be heard from the crowd. Blinking in confusion, the young medicine cat hesitated until another honk sounded from somewhere behind her. Pikestar? Looking over her shoulder at the den in a mixture of confusion and concern, she opened her maw to ask if he needed anything when... another honk. What... was happening? Looking back out to the Clan, she watched as more and more of her Clanmates joined in. Warriors and apprentices alike, all honking in response to the sickly one from the den behind her. As confusing as it was, Fawnpaw let out an amused 'mrrp' and glanced up towards Gingerfrost expecting to see confusion on his face as well, to which she would just shrug subtly.

Stepping forward as she rose to her paws, the young she-cat called for the Clans attention by waving her tail. "Although my lessons with herbs will be mainly for kits, if any apprentice feels as though they wish to learn the basics I would be more than happy to have you in my lessons. In the coming moons, I do also plan to host a Clan-wide herb lesson, so that all of RiverClan may know basic remedies for common, every day ailments." For those who had not interacted with Fawnpaw since her return but knew the shy cat she used to be, there was a distinct difference now in the way she spoke. Confident, sure of her self, a bright gleam in her blue eyes as she swept them over the crowd.

"As far as Mr. Pikestar's sickness, I want to again reassure every cat that he is resting and recovering. I am confident he will make a full recovery, but until then I do not want any cat, aside from myself, Ms. Marigoldleap, or Mr. Gingerfrost, entering his den. Should you need to speak with him for any matter, you may come to myself or Mr. Gingerfrost, as he has said. Otherwise, I will be keeping an eye on his den." Fawnpaw didn't feel the need to elaborate on if cats went into the den, because she would just handle the situations as they arose. Hopefully though, her Clanmates had enough smarts to heed her warning and not walk directly into the den of a cat with a cough.

With a nod, Fawnpaw took a seat once more and awaited the continuation of the meeting.

Slatestripe was relieved to hear that Pikestar was still alive. It wasn’t great that he was sick, but it didn’t sound lethal. Even though the warrior had some reservations about Gingerfrost as a deputy, he trusted the other tom enough to follow him loyally as temporary leader. He was unsure if he should volunteer for the new kit lessons, since he was quite busy keeping Autumnpaw and Mintpaw up to speed. He wanted both of them to be able to become warriors as soon as possible.

The honking that suddenly erupted from some cats in the crowd was quite… odd, but it certainly wasn’t the oddest thing Slatestripe had ever heard of.

Mintpaw observed silently the scene, Fawnpaw trying to calm everything down, and Slatestripe staring at her with an expression of relief. Her mind soon wandered away, and she wondered where Lilyleaf had gone to in the last days. It wasn't like her to go missing like this, but she thought that her mother wouldn't leave her without telling... Right? She wasn't totally sure.

Even though their relationship was a bit odd, she liked Lilyleaf. I hope she returns back safely, and soon. She stared blankly at empty space in front of her, imagining what would happen otherwise. Maybe I should tell Slatestripe...

featherspirit nodded n sat next to him n was wandering which cat to talk to about the kits she wanted to make sure.
Goldenleaf shifted his paws nervously. “Have you told anyone about the kits yet?” He asked Featherspirit,”i don’t want you to be overworking yourself, especially during Leafbare.”

Graytail chuckled and joined the Honkening, and then stopped when fawnpaw spoke. Hmm. At least Pikestar was okay.

NettleSting raised his head, listening boredly to the announcement. maybe I can get houndpaw off my paws for awhile his ear flicked as he sat down, eyes fixed to the cat(s?) on the streamstone.

Hound´Paw

houndpaw trotted over to the cat speaking, tilting his head. huh I guess I didn't notice the leader was sick houndpaw silently cursed himself for not paying attention to what was going on around him. I'm glad they're alright nonetheless he sat down silently, wrapping his tail around his paws for warmth.

Goldenleaf shifted his paws nervously. “Have you told anyone about the kits yet?” He asked Featherspirit,”i don’t want you to be overworking yourself, especially during Leafbare.”


featherspirit shook her head no "Not yet. I was going to talk to Pikestar but he is sick." she mews looking at her mate and was nervous still trying to figure out which cat to talk to

Seedheart listened to the meeting carefully. That's the post. Goodbye.
