Snowstar jumped up gracefully onto the high rock, his paws neatly bouncing off the ground. This was like second nature to him now. Somehow, he had gotten rid of the feeling of apprehension that had usually hung in the air. Still, he still didn't think of himself as leader . At least, not completely. Now and then, he would think back to when he was an apprentice, still watching the noble Flamingstar standing on Highrock. Now, Snowstar still didn't believe he was worthy of receiving a position so high as leader. He sighed inwardly, silently reprimanding himself for thinking like that. He wasn't 8 moons anymore, he was a full-grown warrior. No, he was Leader . Thunderclan, his clan, needed him to be strong. Not weak, so simple minded that he couldn't even focus on what he needed to do now. Concentrating, he made his way to the edge of the rock, his paws placed calmly forward and he leaned, surveying the clearing quickly. Today was a special day. It wasn't his place to worry about such nonsense, not now.
Snowstar took a deep breath, his tail wrapped neatly over his paws and he closed his eyes a moment before speaking. “All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather neath the highrock for a clan meeting,” The words flowed smoothly out of his mouth, and he smiled, reassured. The thoughts from before had already vanished from his mind,and was happy. His shoulders slumped, and all tension was relived from his body. Silently, he flexed his paws against the rock as he waited for his clan to assemble.
Memories flooded back into his mind, and a small smile made it's way across his muzzle. Eyes closed, he remembered his past. No more was he Snowstar, but Snowkit in a clearing.Everything he had felt back then was filling him to no end. Today was the day. The special day. Today, he was going to be an apprentice. Trailing behind his mother, he was bouncing and suddenly a call broke the air. The leader had been standing above high rock, with the deputy, Flamingstar when she was younger, not far behind. Staring up in awe, he grinned and the ceremony began. His brother followed, more nonchalent, but exited never the less.
Snowstar opened his eyes. That's right. No longer was he in a dream, but in the present. He stood tall now, the anxiety behind him and his tail swayed beneath his hauches. He grinned, those kits would receive the same treatement he had. They would be happy and feel the magic that every other cat had felt. He was sure. This day, would indeed be special.

As Demonkit and his brother walked toward the high rock, Demonkit felt a surge of pride within him. He was going to become an apprentice! He felt a sudden burst of energy and wanted to go race up to the high rock and be an apprentice right now! But he stayed with his brother slowly trotting to the high rock. Then his brother stopped and started to lick Demonkit. "What are you doing?" Demonkit said as he tried to break free from his brothers vigorous licks. "Just getting you ready for the ceremony." Strongkit replied as he pulled his brother back in and started licking again. "Your acting like our mother...." Demonkit said, and frowned. Strongkit smiled and stopped licking. And they started moving again. As they approached the high rock, a glossy gaze on his leaders eyes as if recalling something from the past. Demonkit sat down a few tail-lengths away from the high rock, with his brother and stared around. Cat had already started to filter in and sit down. Then he looked up at his leader smiled and was glad to be part of this ThunderClan.

Poisonclaw sat down next to his mate and son at the front of the gathering crowd. Not long ago he had wanted to be Ironpaw's mentor, but when StarClan had chosen his son as the path for medicine cat, that dream had disappeared like the fog in a morning sun. But now he was going to be Demonkit's mentor! He saw the little kit bouncing gleefully with his brother, and Posionclaw too eagerly awaited his leader to start the ceremony. Crystalheart looked at him and he smiled back at his mate. He flicked her on the ear with sheathed claws. "If you make me laugh during the ceremony, I'll kill you." Crystalheart purred with amusement. "You won't laugh."
Ironpaw pipped up. "I'm going to go talk to Demonkit. You know, calm his nerves." The apprentice padded over to the black pelted kit, who was brimming with excitement. Had it really been that long since his apprentice ceremony? How he remembered bouncing that same way on the night of his apprenticeship, the leaves blowing just right, almost cheering him on. What was going on inside this eager kit's head?
"So, Demonpaw. You excited?"

Demonkit looked up in surprise, to see Ironpaw bouncing up to him. "Oh hi Ironpaw! And I'm not an apprentice yet... But I will be soon! And yes I'm VERY excited!" Demonkit said as he smiled and continued: "So hows medicine cat apprenticeship going?" Demonkit said curiously. And looked around at all the gathering cats, he flicked his tail with annoyance, because not many cats had come out of there dens. He looked past Ironpaw and at his soon-to-be-mentor, and couldn't wait even more for the ceremony to begin.
Strongkit:
Strongkit look past Demonkit to look at the cat that had talked to his brother. It was Ironpaw, Demonkit had already said his hellos so Strongkit just smiled as he turned back to Snowstar standing on the high rock. He turned and looked around the clearing and saw Posionclaw and Crystalheart talking to each other. He smiled at their love and hoped he could have such a wise and nice and beautiful mate.
(bleh...my head is a mess I'll fix this later...if anyone read this...)

Ironpaw looked at Demonkit with glee. "Training with Rippedbelly is great. She's a wonderful mentor. I hope my dad does as much good for you as she is for me." Ironpaw looked around the clearing at the gather ing cats. The sun was starting to set, sending shadows across highrock. Suddenly, Ironpaw was merely a kit, just a few moons ago. Jumping with excitement, Rippedbelly and the tom were out in the clearing, the first day of his apprenticeship. Ironpaw smiled. "I'll leave you alone now. Snowstar should start the ceremony soon." Ironpaw waved his tail in fairwell and walked over to his mother and father and leaned into them, just happy to be with his family. Ironpaw looked up to his father, who was sneaking glances over at Demonkit and Strongkit, his eyes gleaming with pride. Poisonclaw wanted so bad to be a mentor. And now, his wish was coming true. "You'll make a great mentor dad. I know it."

Silverkit woke up sleepily. What day is it? She thought. The she remembered. "Mom, mom, wake up!" Silverkit said as she poked her mother, with her paw. "What is it?" Her mother said as she sat up. "Is something wrong?" "No, the ceremony is today!" Mistypelt smiled, her daughter was becoming an apprentice today. She had always seen the curiousness of Silverkit to learn about what the apprentices and warriors did. Mistypelt started grooming Silverkit. Silverkit was bouncy and hard to groom, but she was very excited. I wounder who I 'm gonna get as a mentor.... "Silverkit we need to go, Snowstar is calling a clan meeting." The words of her mother broke her thoughts. She couldn't say anything she was too excited. She walked out of the nursery and into the warm sunlight. She followed her mother silently. As they were walking Silverkit saw the cats gather slowly, the she spoted Strongkit, and his brother Demonkit. "Mom?" "Yes." "Can I sit with Demonkit and Strongkit?" Silverkit asked. "Of course." Silverkit tired to stay calm as she walked to wear they were sitting. Today was not only her day, but there's too. "Hi Strongkit, and Demonkit."She said as she approached. "How are you?"

((I din't hear of this. I'm not sure, but arent different apprentice ceremonies supposed to be on separate links? I don't know, Snowstar might put them in the same spot, though. If he did, I apolagize. But I'm not going to post because my brain is completely dead today, and I don't want a crummy post.))

{Bleh. Sorry I couldn't post in such a enormous amount of time, but I think I got all the mentors now. If something wrong and you don't like the mentor pairing or that cat already has a mentor tell me. Kay?}
The leader stood tall, his tail flicking silently as he waited for the remainig cats to assemeble. This was nearly the fourth kit ceremony he had done in such a short time, yet he couldn't help but feel anxious and at the same time, happy. This, like every other ceremony, played a huge role in the future of all of Thunderclan. These kits, as well as the others, would become warriors in time, and then, retire to an elder. Those who were lucky were carry thier lives further, into the ranks of a Deputy and Leader after him. Thunderclan's population would expand at the same time, creating a stronger union. None of those things were the reasons why Snowstar was grinning, beaming with happiness. Crystal blue orbs faintly dancing with laughter, he looked down at the kits and their parents assemebled. It brought joy to his face to see the carefree kits, soon to be apprentices, play in the sun and enjoy their kithood, something he hadn't done so often. Snowstar felt his heart swell with pride, at the looks on the parents faces, proud for their kits and hoping great things for their futures'. Deciding that it was time to begin the ceremony, Snowstar took a breath before continuing.
"Today, three kits have reached 6 moons. Now, it is time for them to receive their apprentice names' and join the ranks of an apprentice." he meowed, his voice ringing across the clearing. He paused once more, waiting a bit for the kits to come foward and he continued, his voice booming. "Silverkit, you have reached the age of six moons and will be welcomed into your apprenticeship. From this day on until you receive your warrior name, you shall be known as Silverpaw. Firen, you have shown your loyalty and courage to me and all of Thunderclan. You shall mentor Silverpaw." He paused waiting for the pair to touch noses, before letting the meeting commence.
"Demonkit, you too have reached the age of six moons. Today you shall be reconized as an apprentice, earning the name Demonpaw. Poisonheart, you have displayed your devotion and bravery, like no other. You'll be Demonpaw's mentor."
He paused again, waiting a moment for the two to greet and his ears flicked, a warm breeze brushing by. Finally he ended the ceremony and spoke, his voice loud and clear. " Last, but certainly not least, Strongkit. Like Demonpaw and Silverpaw, you too have reached the age of 6 moons and are ready to be accepted into your apprenticeship. From this moment foward until you become a warrior, you will be known as Strongpaw. I will be your mentor."
Snowstar sighed, letting all the anxiety release and he jumped off the rank smoothly, his paws bouncing off the ground. He strode toward his new apprentice with a warm smile, and bent down to greet him. Eyes soft, he mewed word of congrats to him and murmered, " You'll be a great warrior in no time at all. I'm sure of it."

SIlverpaw touched noses with her mentor. The feeling was one like no other. She had always longed for this day and now it has come. She couldn't wait to get started. When she heard all the cats cheering, it made her even more happy. She saw her mother cheering too. "Silverpw, Demonpaw, Strongpaw!" She looked so proud. Silverpaw's fur was gleaming in the sunlight. She went over to congratulate Demonpaw, and Strongpaw. She ran over her fur blowing and she did. She rubbed her muzzle against theirs. "We are apprentice!" She meowed. She ran t her mother greeting her the same way as she did Demonpaw, and Strongpaw. Her mother returned the greeting. She was going to sleep in the apprentices den! Her tail went back and forth with her delight. She ran to Firen, bouncing. "When do we get to start?' Silverpaw was so excited, she can see the forest now. Help her clan. And stay hunt, and do patrols.

Poisonclaw touched noses with his apprentice, swelling with pride. "Congradulations, Demonpaw! You can sleep in the apprentices den tonight." Poisonclaw looked into the eyes of his new apprentice. They were glowing with excitement. "Hey, the fresh-kill pile is a little low. You want to take your first hunting lesson tommorrow?" Poisonclaw had to admit that he wanted to go hunting with the young tom. Poisonclaw had never mentored any cat before, and he was looking forward to it. And although he was trying to find excuses to train, the fresh-kill pile was getting smaller. Poisonclaw sighed. The promise of leaf-bare was strong and true. Better find some prey tommorrow, then! The tabby tom smiled, laughing at himself. How long ago had it been since his apprentice ceremony? When he was just a bumbling kit, eager to fight and protect the clan. Did Demonpaw feel that way? Only time would tell.

Demonpaw was bouncing up and down with excitement he couldn't wait to start training! "Oh yeah! I'd love to!" Demonpaw said with a burst of excitement. Demonpaw felt a sensation of excitement and pride it was like nothing he had felt before. As he saw Silverpaw come up he said hello and went to see how his brother had reacted to the news that Snowstar was going to be his mentor. He said his good-byes to Poisonclaw and went to find his brother in the mass of cats, he found him near Snowstar talking.
Strongpaw : -------------------------------------------------
"So when will we start training?" Strongpaw said as he saw his brother come up. He saw the excitement and pride in his brothers eyes that filled his as well. Now they were apprentices! They would hunt, fight off enemies, sleep in the apprentices den, and play with other apprentices! Oh how he couldn't wait to get started! "Hi Demonpaw!" He stared at his leader and new mentor with pride and admiration. He ran off with his brother to congratulate Silverpaw, and found her with her mentor he could see she was as excited as they were by the way she was starring at her mentor. "Hi Silverpaw, congratulations!" Strongpaw said.
