*Stonestar smiled back, then at the gathering cats.*

*Mistyclaw emerged into the clearing, then sat down*

[TotallyHamster]

*Tinypaw tapped her paw on the ground in a rhythm, looking up at Stonestar expectantly*

[PopcornWaffle]

"Cats of Thornclan! We gather here today to give a special apprentice his warrior name! Jaypaw, step forward!"

*Stonestar flicked his tail to gesture the young tom forward*

~Jaypaw~

Jaypaw stepped forward, glowing with pride. he stood tall, his fur perfect.

[TotallyHamster]

*Tinypaw stared hard, her eyes wide with wonder and excitement to discover what his warrior name would be*

[PopcornWaffle]

"I, leader of Thornclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn."

*Stonestar looked down at the apprentice*

"Jaypaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"

~Jaypaw~

Jaypaw shone with pride. he smiled. "I do."

[morrissey]

spottedleap closed her soft amber eyes as stonestar repeated the ritual words. starclan would surely grant the apprentice his name?

[PopcornWaffle]

"Then by the powers of Starclan, I give you your warrior name. Jaypaw, from this moment you will be known as Jayswing. Starclan honers your honesty and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full member of Thornclan."

*Stonestar rested his head on the new warrior's head*

[TotallyHamster]

*Tinypaw squealed with excitement.*
"Tinywing..."
*She whispered, trying it out on herself.*
"Nah."
