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. She smiled at Miraclepaw, then Badgerkit, them looked at Soulstar.
Soulstar watched as his son stepped forward. " from this day forward, until you have earned your warrior name, you shall be known as Badgerpaw. Stormfire, pass down your determination and skill to this apprentice."
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. He smiled at Miraclepaw as she passed, and at Badgerkit as he stepped forward.
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.
Miraclepaw sat down, smiling. She watched her brother add he stepped forward to fulfill the same ceremony.
