Rabbitkit's tail started wagging faster than the fastest rabbit as the kit leaned even further out of the nursery as Twilightstar called out the new apprentices and their mentors. Though the kit tilted his head slightly, reassignment? What did that mean? Whatever, the kitten just couldn't help as he imagined himself much bigger and faster, looking up to Twilightstar as the leader called out his new name. Rabbitpaw, Rabbitpaw, Rabbitpaw! Much better than the play pretend game that Snowkit and the other kits play.

The kit frowned at the thought, huffing and thumping his back paw against the ground, what a bunch of trouble makers. Rabbitkit would never even dream of pranking and causing trouble for the warriors and apprentices, they are all gonna get in trouble and Rabbitkit wasn't going to get mixed up in it.

His ears flicked as he caught the murmuring spreading through his clan. Rabbitkit's green eyes widened as breathlessly watched as each named apprentice went to greet their new mentors. One day, one day soon that would be Rabbitkit and he was going to be one of the fastest cats alive!

(I'm on mobile so this reply is gonna suck)

Quailheart padded up behind Rabbitkit. He seemed so intent on staring at the
Leader and new apprentices she felt almost sorry, like she may jolt him from
A perfect dream. Whoops. "You'll be up there soon enough," she purred
Softly. She couldn't wait to see her own kits up there, yet felt a wave of grief that
Her little daughter Wispkit wouldn't join them. Even though all her kittens were
Adopted, she felt like they were her own flesh and blood. Then, she felt an emptiness.
Her own mate hadn't cared to be there when she needed him most. Mapledusk
Wasn't there. Suppressing the feeling as usual, she bent down to Rabbitkit's height.
"And you'll run so swiftly across the moor, catch lots of rabbits, and be the
Fastest runner in Windclan!" Starclan, she felt so much love for her kits it was
Like an overwhelming wave. How was that possible? She felt like a failure. She
Hadn't spent much time with Rabbitkit lately.

- Mistyfalls -
A tortoiseshell she-cat with golden eyes and a missing paw
@wendigo
[ Alrighty! I’ll have Mistyfalls go over the basics again to see if it helps get Maplepaw closer to the 100 posts atleast. Also- No worries!

]
Mistyfalls nodded. Only one thing but at least Maplepaw would get the final bit of her training. Is there anything else you need to do? Besides the hunting? She knew that Maplepaw had said Everything except hunting but she couldn’t shake the feeling she was missing something…
Whatever it was, she was busy now.
How about we go out hunting so I can start training you? Did you get taught the basics or do you need the basics before we go out? Her excitement turned to interest, then to concern as she realized that Maple was nervous — atleast she thought — so she calmed herself. Sorry if I’m overly excited. You’re technically my first apprentice. The time I thought I’d get my first apprentice, the medicine cat at the time — I think it was still Cowtuft — told me I was expecting kits. They’re apprentices themselves now. She purred as she saw Ravenpaw, bounding off to join a patrol, and Rosemarypaw practicing her hunter’s crouch for her next training session. Flicking her tail to them, she turned her gaze as she spoke.
Those two are mine. Ravenpaw and Rosemarypaw.

@Snips

Larkspring’s head dropped down, but their eyes remained opened. To any other cat, they appeared to be… at least kind of awake. Clearly, this was going to be a normal ceremony. Their light snore filled the air. “Larkspring…with Starrypaw…” was all Larkspring heard. Wait what? Larkspring’s head snapped up, and they shook the sleep out of their head. As they looked around, clanmates glanced at them and some other cat, smiling contently. Who? What? Them, a mentor? Who was this Starry-cat anyways? Larkspring huffed. Of course they had to take an apprentice. Of course they had to have an annoying little bugger follow them along. Of course it had to be a relatively new apprentice. Of course, of course, of course. When Twilightstar finished speaking, Larkspring cast one glance at the “Starrypaw” cat and turned around, heading towards the warrior’s den to finish their nap. If the kitten pest wanted to be mentored, Larkspring wasn’t about to go up to them and fawn all over how young they were. If they wanted Larkspring’s mentorship, they’d have to seek Larkspring themselves.

(assume they leave after the meeting, not accidentally disrespecting Twilightstar)

Maplepaw

A tall offwhite she-cat, with brown, black, dark gray speckles, and blue/green heterochromia.

VC: a light Hungarian + British accent; a purr after every "r."

Purrk(s): Monkey's Paw (wish & withdrawal determined)

Maplepaw just stared at Mistyfalls' nose while they talked. They were weirdly ecstatic, but what would she know? The last time she had felt an ounce of excitement was when she was 4. Maplepaw was 9 now. How long ago was that? She couldn't do the math.

Maplepaw's gaze followed where Mistyfalls was looking--towards two apprentices. Ah! She knew Rosemarypaw. Didn't they both get apprenticed at the same time?

"Verrrry.. nice." So Mistyfalls was once a queen? Explains their ecstatic attitude and the weird motherly aura Maplepaw got from them.

She cleared her throat before responding again. "Alrrready.. know basics."

Alright, Maplepaw has definitely spoken beyond three words.

Why hasn't she imploded yet?

30/100

High Rank Announcement [#hrannouncement]

"Silverpaw, Fallowpaw." Twilightstar called for the two apprentices. While waiting for them to show up Twilightstar carried on with her announcement.

"While I was out I found a cave behind Twilight Falls and took a large patrol with me to scout it out. I was hoping that we could use the cave as a temporary camp if needed." It never hurt to be prepared, "Unfortunately, while we were scouting we ran into trouble. Though the caves would serve as a great place for a haven, a large hoard of minks was found in one of the caverns. We were taken by surprise, my patrol and I had to fight our way out." The leader flattened her ears at the memory, she could still hear the screeches and yowls in her ears.

Her single green eye sought out those who had accompanied her on the patrol. Scanning their wounds with a sad scowl on her face. The WindClan leader was aware of Dunecall's animosity regarding the mink ambush, he wasn't hiding it all that well if he was trying. Of course, Twilightstar wouldn't say anything not that she had any right to.

"It took a great amount of courage and teamwork, but thankfully we all made it out alive, although many of us will be wearing new scars for the rest of our lives. But that is the life of a warrior." She told them somberly.

"Though every cat fought with immense bravery, Silverpaw and Fallowpaw showed that they were more than ready for their warrior ceremonies." It's about time that WindClan had some warriors to celebrate. Give the clan something to cheer about before she dumped more bad news on them.

" I, Twilightstar, leader of WindClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of a warrior, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Silverpaw and Fallowpaw, do you promise to serve and protect your Clan, even at the cost of your lives?"

Sparrowswoop gave a purr. Fallowpaw and Silverpaw deserved their warrior ceremonies.

Hawktalon, on the other paw, just watched through narrowed eyes. Ivysnow, too.

Bristlepaw kept close to the edge of clearing where Nettlepaw couldn´t see her.

Foxbound narrowed her eyes, tail tip twitching.

Rabbitspring flicked an ear.

Crowtooth
Windclan Tunneler | He/him | 49 Moons
Power Card: Cold Gust

The toms tattered ears perked up at the announcement of new warriors (always good) but that Silverpaw was among the group was spectacular. The molly, close in age to him, was well overdue her ceremony and deserved it more then she knew. Her delays were not of her fault but due to time away from windclan and injury and despite being offered it Silverpaw had turned down a warriors name when she came back, wanting to earn it herself.
It was honorable, and if she'd not had his respect before that she'd have it for that alone.

Crowtooth would cheer loudly

However.... Fallowpaw. The tunneler liked the kid, she was smart and feisty and had a will to survive and learn. But she was still a kid. 9 Moons old right? And only halfway through her apprenticeship by how she acted being attacked by the minks. Sure it was fine to not react well, no one really did, but there were minute worries there. Especially given she even expressed interest in more training when Crowtooth offered after the disaster.

Maybe Twilightstar knew more then he did here, he hoped so. A warrior made too early could be dangerous.
