High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]
How?! The she-cat's expression grew bitter as she noticed the one covered in mud. She was pretty sure that it was Houndkit. Why he was covered in mud she couldn't say or care to know, she just knew it would take forever to clean from his long coat. So so long....ugh! The next things she had to cover with her children were the dos and don'ts. She couldn't even yowl at her kits since she hadn't told them not to play in the mud or not climb the Grimpeak.
Then there was Weepingkit who she was starting to think needed a buddy at all times. The poor thing looked utterly lost, but as he wasn't in danger Dawnstar left him be. If he didn't calm himself down she'd check on him after she was done with the meeting. Or hope that her more responsible kits came and got him. Venomkit was yowling about something, since she left her with Mistlewhisker it was the deputy problem to deal with for now. She'd talk to the troublemaker later about her behavior during meetings.
"Midnightkit, Lightningkit, and Hollowkit," Dawnstar noted they were missing Thrushkit but wasn't waiting any longer, "from this day until you receive your warrior names, you will be known as Midnightpaw, Lightningpaw, and Hollowpaw." She halted to stare at Tigerkit.
"Since ShadowClan already has an apprentice named Tigerpaw, Tigerkit, from this day until you receive your warrior name, you'll be known as Lionpaw. Your mentor will be Cloverpool. Hawkbite, you'll mentor Hollowpaw. Darkleaf you are Lightningpaw's mentor. Redleaf you're Midnightpaw's mentor." She told them. The cats were given a moment to meet, greet, and move out of the way because it was time for the next ceremonies.
"I, Dawnstar, leader of ShadowClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the warriors' way and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Spiderpaw, Bitternpaw, and Flashpaw, do you promise to protect and serve this Clan, even at the cost of your lives?"
