Shadowpaw sat, watching the ceremony silently. She glared at Lightningstorm, disgusted. Wolfpaw was the same cat inside; he just looked different, and she judged him. Shadowpaw wrapped her tail tightly around her unsheathed claws as she listened to the unfinished ceremony. This was a sad day.
Soulstar watched as Wolfpaw walked forward, and he continue. I am doing this under Silverpelt, so that Starclan may approve of my choice. Wolfpaw, tragedy has struck upon you. From this day forward, you shall be known as Capturedpaw, in honour of the true cat's heart inside of you." As Capturedpaw lowered his head, Soulstar touched his forehead, and made eye contact with Capturedpaw, blinking meaningfully. After the apprentice returned to his spot! Soulstar smiled slightly. "We are also here to celebrate the making of two new apprentices. Miraclekit, step forward."
Ghostfang blinked. He was sad for the poor apprentice, and it hurt him that Capturedpaw would never again be accepted by his clanmates, nor fully trusted.
Capturedpaw lowered his head, bowing and returning to where he sat. The new name suited him perfectly, and he was glad that Soulstar understood him. He turned his massive head towards the three soon-to-be apprentices.
Miraclekit stepped forward calmly, eyes shining despite what was ahead. She walked toward Soulstar, her father, and stood in front of him proudly. She listened to the traditional words as they were spoken. "From this day forward, until you have earned your warrior name, you shall be know as Miraclepaw." He turned to look at his deputy. " Dragonheart, I hope you pass down your courage and wisdom to this apprentice." Miraclepaw stepped forward to touch noses with her new mentor, and walked back towards her spot between her two siblings. She listened to her father as he said, "Badgerkit, step forward."
