Prophecy

The thorns of yesterday are not easily shaken - beware the day of black skies and howling winds.

StarClan is angered that Thornstar has turned SpiritClan away from them. They begin turning apprentices and young warriors over to their side, including two of Windrunner's kits. StarClan's teachings separate the (now) apprentices from each other. Meanwhile in the physical world, a severe shortage of prey and rain is happening in their territory. Out of nowhere, there is a massive storm and a powerful gust of wind throws a tree into the camp, killing Windrunner. Thornstar convinces Alderstar that this is StarClan's revenge, and Alderstar in turn enforces a host of rules including curfew, apprentice supervision, and exile if there is mention of StarClan. Out of their grief, the apprentices reconnect and share what they know. As it turns out, StarClan is planning an attack on the clan and the Phantoms. They warn Alderstar and Thornstar, and prepare to fight.

As SpiritClan shuns StarClan and follow the Phantoms, there are going to be several changes to the Clan traditions

▪

▪LEADERS▪
As a deputy succeeds his or her leader, they must travel to receive their nine lives. To do this without StarClan, they travel through the woods to a very secluded clearing known as the Path of Realms. Here, the curtain separating the Phantoms from the Clan is at its thinnest. The clearing itself is surrounded by impossibly thick underbrush, and the trees allow only just enough moonlight to see. Here, they sit and await for the Phantoms to arrive and give them their lives in a similar fashion to StarClan. Each Phantom offers the leader one of their traits, which they may call upon in their time of need.:

Life-Giver: I am (name). With this life, I offer you my (trait). Call my name should you're need arise, and swear by the stars I will appear.

Previous Leader: With these nine lives, and nine promises, we leave you to guide your Clan to the best of your ability. Know that we walk among you, and that we will watch over you until it is your time to take my place.

▪

▪DEPUTIES▪

To name a deputy, the leader will call a Clan meeting beneath the Highledge, and invite the Phantoms to join the ranks:

Leader: I say these words in the presence of SpiritClan and the Phantoms of the Wood, in hopes that both may approve my choice. To replace myself as deputy of SpiritClan, I name (name) to carry my former duties and help me lead this clan.

▪

▪MEDICINE CATS▪

In order to become a medicine cat, both the standing medicine cat and his or her apprentice must travel to the Path of Realms and await the Phantoms to come and witness the ceremony.

Medicine Cat: I, (name), medicine cat of SpiritClan, ask the Phantoms of the Wood to present themselves and offer their approval of this cat.
[Waits for the Phantoms to arrive]
(Apprentice name), you have studied under me for many moons, and you have proven yourself to be worthy of the name of a medicine cat. Is it your wish to receive your name?

Apprentice: It is

Medicine Cat: Do the Phantoms agree that this apprentice is fit to become a medicine cat?

Phantom(s): We/I do.

Medicine Cat: Then it is with great pride and honor that I present you, (current name), with your new name of (new name). May you carry it with grace as you continue to work beside the Phantoms.

▪

▪WARRIORS▪

As an apprentice proves themself worthy and ready to become a warrior, the leader begins consulting with the Phantoms for two days. At the sunset of the second day, the leader calls a Clan meeting, and invites the Phantoms to join the ranks. This particular ceremony requires the use of the Tunnel of Journeys, a small tunnel in the wall of the camp. Several Phantoms will manifest in this tunnel as an apprentice walks through it, and offer them advice and even sometimes a rare gift or promise.

Leader: I call upon the Phantoms of the Wood, to present them with this apprentice who has proven him/herself to be fit to become a warrior. (Apprentice), is it your wish to become a warrior of SpiritClan, to uphold our honor, and protect your clanmates at all costs?

Apprentice: It is

Leader: Do the Phantoms among us today agree that he/she is prepared and able to do as he/she promises?

Phantom(s): We/I do

Leader: Then it is with great pride that I give this apprentice his/her new name. (Apprentice), please step into the Tunnel of Journeys.
(Apprentice does so)
Step into this Tunnel as (Apprentice) and emerge as (warrior), filled with (trait) and (trait).

▪

▪APPRENTICES▪

When a kit reaches the age of six moons, the leader will call a Clan meeting, and allow for the Phantoms to gather among them.

Leader: I have gathered you here today to witness the newest apprentices begin their journey of training. These kits have become of age, and with the Phantoms as my witnesses, they are to be named apprentices.
(Kit), are you prepared to become an apprentice, and learn the ways of the warrior?

Kit: I am

Leader: Then I present you, as (Apprentice), to your mentor. (Mentor), I have chosen you to mentor this apprentice in hopes that you will pass on your (trait) and (trait) to form a stronger clan. Do you agree to this choice?

Mentor: I do.

Leader: And, finally, do the Phantoms present today approve of (mentor) training (apprentice)?

Phantom(s): We/I do.

Leader: Then go, (mentor and apprentice), teach and learn as you work to prolong the life of our Clan.

▪

▪ELDERS▪

When a warrior grows too old to hunt and fight, a queen too old to care for kits, a medicine cat too old to tend the sick, the Phantoms alert the leader. When the cat themself goes to the leader, the Clan and Phantoms are called together. After the ceremomy, the cat is escorted to the elders den, a small cave near the medicine cats den called the Cave of Tomorrow.

Leader: Today, we are gathered to witness the end of a colorful story. (Name) has chosen to give up their life as a (rank), and join the elders in the Cave of Tomorrow. (Name), is it your wish to leave your clanmates in the (rank) den and join the elders in theirs?

Cat: It is

Leader: Then with the Phantoms as my witness, I wish you the best of health. May you spend the rest of your days in blissful rest, knowing you have served your Clan well.

▪

▪NAME CHANGING▪

The leader calls a Clan meeting and awaits the arrival of the Phantoms.

Leader: From our birth, our mothers have given us all our names. Our name is who we are, it represents our being. But (name), your name no longer defines you. In the presence of the Phantoms, I give you your new name, one to better represent, and one to better hold your spirit. I now name you (name).
