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?" #shcmeeting
Lightingpaw looks up as his name is given. He finally is an apprentice. He felt proud of himself, and he gave a large smile. so very happy to be trained as a warrior. even if he doesn't know who it is personally. excited to meet his mentor the tom rose to his paws and ran over energetically, he's not even sure what he was doing as he located them.
he approached the cool-looking cat looking up before giving a friendly smile "Uhm...hello." he spoke softly but friendly nonetheless " When do we start?" he asked sitting and trying to look bigger than he was. he wanted his mentor to know hes confident.

The loss of warmth and a few extra bodies disturbed the formerly slumbering kit. Huge orange eyes sleepily watched the tail end of his siblings leave their den. It was Momster's home, but since he and his siblings lived here it was their den too. Confused, and not wanting to be left behind, Weepingkit scrambled to his paws and scurried out of the nest and den.
"Wait for weeping, coming too, am I." His muzzle and nose collided with the ground a few times as walking was still difficult for him, but he made it outside. Oh boy! The scents were the first thing he noticed, strong and so many new ones. Everything had this pine-like scent, but underneath it were unique smells that belonged solely to individual cats. It was amazing.
The actual cats, however, spooked the living daylight out of him. Weepingkit's eyes watered, his fur bristled and his back arched, attempting to be as intimidating as a kitten could be with tears leaking down his fluffy cheeks. No one was looking at him, all he saw was the backs of cats of all shades and sizes, attention on Momster who stood above them.
He knew better than to mewl or try to catch the leader's attention, she looked busy. He's learned to be quiet when cats visit their den and Momster is busy. Maybe he should go back to... siblings! He swore he saw the brown pelt of one of his littermates and hurried in that direction, he didn't want to be alone. He quickly found himself lost in the forest of cats that were gathered, he ran into someone's hindleg and jumped spooked and spat at them before darting off in another direction only to step on another cat's tail which had him jumping and spitting again.
This became a reoccurring problem until he eventually found himself chasing his tail and weeping utterly lost. The panic kitten just wanted to find someone he knew.
One of the last to leave the den and start exploring the new world, Scorpionkit made her appearance at the mouth of the den. Amber eyes blinking to adjust to the bright sunshine, the Ringleader of the children squinted upwards at her mama before looking around at the gathering cats. Something important happening? Something interesting. Ohhh, and her siblings were already wandering about!!
Waddling on unsteady legs, she approached the gathered cats, keeping quiet when mama was talking, just as she did when cats visited the den. It looked like cats were gathering in front of her, ready for something. When mama was quiet, she cleared her throat and made sure everyone was aware she was here. "HI MAMA! PARASITE HERE!" That's what mama called them: Parasites. She had another name... Sco- scip- You know what, it didn't matter. Her mama knew and now her clanmates would too.
Then, a certain hissing and spitting caught her attention. Tiny ears swirled aggressively to pinpoint it and the kitten waddled through the crowed. "AHEM, 'SCUSE ME!! COMIN' THRU!" Scorpionkit would step on toes and tails if they didn't move as she made her way to her sibling. "Weeping! Weeping! C'mere! I save you!" the molly continued to scream.
When Scorpionkit was able to find her sibling, she was attempt to lead them away from the crowd to sit on the edge. If Weepingkit wouldn't walk, then Scorpionkit would lay on top of them, hoping that squishing the kit would bring them back to their senses.

Emberkit had heard the grumblings of her siblings when Mother got up to do something, but they themself had been content to curl up around their more needy siblings to keep them quiet while Mother did what she had to do. But she hadn't been expecting to hear Mother call for the clan. Her siblings toddled out of the den one by one, Emberkit following curiously (read: cautiously) behind. Venomkit and Adderkit started by climbing and sitting near the giant dry tree remnant respectively, then Weepingkit began to panic down below in the crowd. Emberkit sighed, watching as Venomkit and Adderkit were foisted on Not Mother. Emberkit herself carefully slithered down from Mother's den into the crowd, seeking Weepingkit. She was still small, even though she was large for her age, and it was pretty difficult to weave through all the cats to get to her brother.
Luckily (?) for him, a familiar voice interrupted whatever Mother was conducting, screaming about heading for Weepingkit. Emberkit grimaced, hurrying his little pawsteps to reach Weepingkit at the same time as Scorpionkit. "Quiet," she hissed to her sister, fixing Scorpionkit with a severe look. "Mother is talking. Come, Weeping." Emberkit nudged their brother with a gentle nose, urging him towards Mistlewhisker. "Scorpion, too." Even though she had hissed at her sister, Emberkit nosed Scorpionkit's shoulder gently as well. "To Venom and Adder."

Cinderpaw

9 moons || she/her || ShadowClan Apprentice small black tabby with minimal white markings and 3 legs; amber eyes
Oh, Bitternpaw was getting his ceremony? That's good for him... Cinderpaw remembers her quick spar with him a moon-ish ago. He was a good cat, he'd make a good warrior. Soon... maybe soon Cinderpaw would be ready? She isn't sure. Rookfire is a good mentor, though, he'll pass her when he thinks she's ready for it. She just... she just wishes momma would be there to see it.
Another new apprentice, great. Was this one going to go missing like the last... four he'd received. Hawkbite had a knack for being assigned the troublesome apprentices or those that didn't have motivation and wound up running off or getting themself killed. He was growing dreary of them, minding them no specific time and putting them in the classes he ran. Was that where he was going wrong? He'd hadn't done much one-on-one time with any of them since... since... Starrywisp. Claw tips scraped the ground at the memory before his thoughts were broken by the presence of the newbie.
Green eyes only shifted slightly to look at Hollowpow, familiarizing himself with the figure before some strange tingling in his back sent his fur bristling. He'd cast a glance over his shoulders, looking for the source, only to land on an oddly familiar frame looking lost in the crowd. Older, but familiar... why?
Oh, right, the task at hand. He'd settle his fur then address Hollowpaw. "We can start with a tour once the meeting is done, if you're ready for that," Hawkbite commented. The warrior ceremonies intrigued him, a familiar apprentice standing at the front and answering first. His eyes glowed with pride for him. You'll make an excellent warrior, Bittern.

➢ The fresh Apprentice listens to her mentor, clearly intrigued as her ears perked to attention. Territory Tour...that worked fine. They didn't exactly have plans beyond finding or making a nest in the Apprentice's den. Hollowpaw nods before replying quietly (as to not disturb the on-going ceremonies), head turning to look at the brown tabby, "Yes, that's fine..." A faint expression of excitement showing through in her voice before it trailing off into soft murmurs about training and the requirements needed for her Warriorship, a topic that Hollowpaw found interesting.
The black and white cat had also noticed the Enforcer's fur shift and the look over his shoulder, causing Hollowpaw to look up from their paws and casting a quizzical glance in the same direction as her mentor did previously. Only to find an older cat in the area...Ibispaw, correct? They could be mistaken, they knew names of the cats in this place, not so much pelt colors.... Hollow would have to come back to that one a different time when she heard someone else address the other cat and confirm her ideas.

The tom smiled at her smile—why did it make him happy and fuzzy inside? It was…nice. And right now (when he may or may not be nervous) her usual, loud attitude was reassuring for him. Even in her ‘insults’ he was so used to it, it just felt normal. Normal was nice. He flicked his tail as she swatted at it but nodded. “Suppose I can—hey, maybe I’m qualified to train ya now.” Oh how the idea of even trying to teach this egoistic, flea-brained kitty who likes being in charge amused SpiderPaw. She’d probably eat him alive—he wouldn’t last a second. (futureee ideaaa??)
He scooted a bit further forward, waiting in anticipation for the kits to get their names. Ya ya- good for him. Getting his ‘Paw name was an exciting day for him too…but now? Now it was so much bigger, everything he ever dreamed of. Then—holy hell…then the leader started speaking to him and the other apprentices. “I do. Forever and always.” he stated, his voice strong and confident.

Ah, it seemed that Dawnstar's kits were causing trouble. The Deputy watched with an amused gaze as two kittens hopped up towards the Grimpeak, one stopping at a reasonable distance and another continuing her journey up towards her mother. Dawnstar did not look pleased to be dealing with this slight as she prepared herself to speak to the clan, and that was only confirmed as Dawnstar picked up her kit and dropped her at Mistlewhisker's paws. The Deputy raised a brow at her mate, smirking, before sweeping her tail to encompass Venomkit and Adderkit as the latter kit joined them. She glanced down at the pair, studying their faces. They looked so much like their mother.
As irking as it was that Mistlewhisker's fondness for kits was known now--she had tried to keep that weakness under wraps for moons--at least she was trusted enough to watch her queen's scions.
Flashpaw's name caught her attention, and Mistlewhisker searched the crowd for the orange pelt. Good, it was about time. Mistlewhisker glanced up at the cloudy sky, wondering if Silverlark was watching his apprentice. He would have been beside himself with glee to know she had survived a murder attempt and was now becoming a full-fledged warrior. If Mistlewhisker was able, the Deputy caught Flashpaw's eye and gave her a nod of approval. She deserved this.

Troublesome? She wasn't troublesome! She just wanted up!! Venomkit's ecstatic face twisted with confusion at the comment her Mother hissed. Grip weakening, it was actually
quite fortunate when Dawnstar swooped her up and relieved the gruesome effort she'd made to attempt to climb up the stump, yet still a hiss of protest left her maws as she was yoinked from the activity she had put so much strenght into achieving. Why couldn't she sit with her Mammy?!
Squirming defiantly as the toygress attempted to escape her mother's strong jaws, the attempt was fruitless. Even as she kicked out and swung wildly she was still handed over to a large, one eyed she cat. Shaking out her pelt, she stared at her Mammy, irked by her telling off. "Hmph! I ain't a pest" A mix between a growl and a whine rumbled in her throat. Mammy would one day see she wasn't annoying at all! She just wanted to be the best and spend time with her! That was all!
The irritation was evident on the way the kitten held herself now; slouched posture, a sour froen and fidgeting restlessly at Mistlewhisker's paws - a stark contrast to her proud and bouncy gait The urge to attempt her stunt again was overwhelming. Venomkit was fairly aware that if she tried it again harsher punishment would be enforced though...ugh, this was the worst. Her sulking was soon cut short as Adderkit appeared and tapped her paw.
And the same chesire grin appeared on her face. Addy thought she was cool!!! "Heheh, I'll be real sneaky next time!" Cackling she attempted to playfully headbut her sister's shoulder "Soon I'll be able to scale up it faster than you can think! I'll teach you after I manage it!" Venom didn't plan on letting her sister out do her in climbing yet she would be thrilled to share a fraction of her coolness with her(which was still a lot in her opinion.)
Amber-green hues snapped to her Mother once more as she called up some random kits for...ceremonies? What were those? And why was her Mammy giving them attention?! A small snarl escaped her fangs as she glowered at the gathering kittens. Did her Mammy love them more because they were getting ceremonies??? Her and her llittermates were way more awesome! Venomkit would ensure they'd get their ceremonies no matter what!!!
Giving one last glare at the to be ceremony getters, the toygress inclined her head so high to look up at Mistlewhisker, the back of her head gently pressed against the dark molly's chest. "Misssstleee, we want our ceremonies!!!" The loud demand was made on behalf of all her siblings. Of course the braided tabby was unaware who could give them what they wanted but if Mammy left her and Addy with her then she must be cool! Venom already liked her!

[Toast and Morrigan I'll have Mistle respond once Adderkit does just fyi <3]
Her mind soon wandered away from the strange kit, who had been staring in her general direction, when her Mother was suddenly calling names. Were the rest of her siblings here too? As she looked around in search of her siblings she went over the names once more in her head. Midnightkit, Hollowkit, Lightningkit- those didn't sound like her siblings names. Green orbs focused on the three kits that had stepped forward and now stood at the foot of the tree stump, similar to how her and venom had but without the climbing. Oh those must be the kits mother was calling. Adderkit was slightly confused too why her mother had left her and Venom here with Tall Lady and then chose to pay attention to these nobodies instead of her own two parasites! Jealousy was the name of what she was feeling, maybe a bit of envy too. Her ears tuned out the rest of her mother's words as she focused on everyone else reaction to this event? That's when she heard Venomkit's words to Tall Lady- Mistle something. "Yeah, I would also like my ceremony.." She piped up alongside her sister, staring straight up at Tall Lady. She was unsure exactly what ceremony was but she wanted it too!
Once again she was not prepared for the loud shrieking to break through the air and attack her ears, her reaction was much quicker this time atleast. Raising both paws, the moment the dreadful sound began, she cover both her ears and let out a hiss of both pain and annoyance. She had no troubles recognising the voice, one of her louder and more obnoxious siblings: Scorpiankit. Unlike Adderkit, her sister seemed to really want her presence to be known. According to what she was shouting, Weepingkit was out here too, Adder had half the mind to go find her brother and drag him to safety but that job was being handled for her. Emberkit was already making their way towards her, Venom and Mistle. Taking with him weeping and we'll...she was taking Scorpian too? As long she stopped screaming adder wouldn't mind.

"That sounds amazing." The tom spoke happily, he was always introverted as a kit. " You look so cool!" he mews, doing his best now to figure out how to conversate with the clan without freaking out, but he's finding it easier with the mentor. "I've always wanted to see territory." he spoke tiredly, lightningpaw wasn't tired but he was not used to being awake this long. As a kit, he often took naps to avoid talking to others, or mainly because no one wanted to talk to him. he shook his head and smiled once more, pushing away his thoughts "Let's go!"
