Creamflower nods in agreement with Antheart. "Yes it is." she said. "And thats all I can ask for." She takes another bite of the fish, savoring the delicious taste.

Aridstar continued after all the apprentices agreed. She smiled at them to show she was proud of them.

After announcing every apprentice, she rested her muzzle on each apprentice's head as they licked her shoulder.

Jaggedbreeze stood up and padded toward the hunting patrol that was gathering. She didn't have an apprentice so she didn't have to worry about that. I doubt I will ever have one anyways, that unless, I start talking again... She pondered over her thoughts for a heartbeat, giving some thought about it. But quickly told herself, No. Once she reached the rest of the patrol, Jaggedbreeze opened her mouth to already try and pick up the drifting scent of prey. It was hard since Reedclan was on a marsh, it not like you can smell fish from many tail lengths away. All she could pick up was muskrat and alligator, hopefully she would have more luck out on the hunting space. Alligators could always be smelled though, no matter where you are since they are everywhere in the marsh. She glanced over at her arranged mate, Stormfeather. So he is joining the patrol too. Jaggedbreeze turned her head a little to look at her sister, and her leader, who had called a meeting.

Owlpaw trotted up to Aridstar, keeping his head high and his chest puffed out. Once he reached highrock, he jumped onto it without failure. Owlpaw took a stand behind Aridstar, lining up next to the other apprentices. He was first. Owlpaw listened carefully to what Aridstar had to say. "I do" he spoke once the leader was done talking. He was really excited to become a warrior. I will have to make it up to Deerleap, he never got the chance to do our last training. His paws were tingling with excitement and his eyes had a strong look of determination.

The sleek black tom grinned brightly, flicking his tail tip. He called their names in celebration, not as loud as Hawktalon had been. He puffed out his chest fur slightly with pride.

The blackish brown tabby tom smiled softly at her first sentence, but widened his eyes in surprise at the last. He tried to find something to reply with, but couldn't. Instead, he settled down next to her silently, wanting to wait for the rest of the ceremony before falling asleep.

The brown and white tabby tom glanced back at Aridstar as she announced of their names. He yowled out each of their names, pretty loudly. He was smiling as he had done so.

Ashfeather joined in the chanting. She smiled. New warriors! They would all make such good ones. She remembered the feeling when she was made a warrior. Proud, strong and a bit shy.

Minnowpaw
She yawned, she rested her tail on falconwings unintentionally, she slowly drifted to sleep.

This was it. It all came down to this. With shallow, rugged breaths, Shadepaw approached the Highrock, heart pounding faster than a hummingbird's wings. Though she was only really friends with Owlpaw, the young tabby was proud to see all of the fellow apprentices vow their loyalty. Distracted by the others, she hardly heard Aridstar ask her the same question. "Huh? Oh, y-yes, I do!" Hot with embarrassment, Shadepaw ducked her head, hoping none of the others would mock her for getting caught up in the other apprentices' moments. Her humiliation turned to joy when Owlpaw- now Owleyes- received his warrior name. Shadepaw had to physically bite her tongue to keep from calling out his name prematurely, but her attention was diverted from him when Aridstar turned to face her. Joy exploded from within her when she received her new warrior name, Shadewing, and she was tempted again to call out her own name. Shadewing was delighted with her new name- it was perfect! Warmth flooded over her, making it so that she hardly payed attention to the rest of the ceremony. At last, when all the names had been announced, the new warrior had her chance to lick Aridstar's shoulder and then join the others below the highrock. Immediately, she bounded clumsily over to Owleyes. "Owleyes!" she purred, bumping her muzzle affectionately into his cheek. "C-congratulations! We're warriors now!" And in only a moon, we may become mates. Though she didn't say it out loud, the simple thought nearly made the small tabby faint. Of course, there was only a slim chance that would happen, but a she-cat can dream!

Aridstar watched the new warriors run below high rock. She joined in with chanting the new warrior's names. In just a moon, they would get an arranged mate. She knew she had to start choosing who gets arranged with who before that time came. It was a long and thoughtful process, and often ended up with disagreement. Rather than matching up warriors by how close they were, she tried matching them up with two cats who would support each other well. Not many matches she made ever worked out well. A lot of the time, everything ended up with cats getting exiled or killed. There are many different ways a cat can get killed from disobeying the most important code. Death berries, long falls, smashing their head on a rock, and attacking them are a few ways. Not to mention the leader or oldest elder (if they volunteer) has to be the one to kill them.

"Meeting dismissed" she called out to the clan, hopping down from high rock and watching everyone break apart.

Jaggedbreeze waited for the hunting patrol to leave. Her tail swished back and forth impatiently. She had caught a faint smell of prey drifting in the light wind, and was itching to follow it.

(♚) “ＯＷＬＥＹＥＳ.”

Owleyes was filled with excitement after he received his new name. The first thing he wanted to do was run out of camp and explore the territory without a mentor pounding on him. he watched his fellow clan mates get their warrior names, feeling very happy for all of them. His pelt was messy because he never got the chance to clean it before the ceremony. He didn't care though, he didn't want to see all neat and tidy because he isn't. Owleyes ran under high rock, and soon found Shadewing talking happily to him. "Yeah! Congratulations as well" he spoke back. He was itching to get out of camp, but stayed by Shadewing and the other apprentices for the time being.

The sleek black tom grinned brightly, flicking his tail tip. He puffed out his chest fur slightly with pride, and he began to reminisce on his warrior ceremony. Wow, am I really that old? That was a while ago.

The blackish brown tabby tom gave her a soft smile, as she fell asleep next to him. She must've been really tired. He thought, curling his tail around his paws.

The brown and white tabby tom got onto his paws, and padded over to his arranged mate calmly. "Hello." He greeted, slightly unsure of what else to say. What do you say to a cat that you've never spoke to?

Shadewing grinned sheepishly, affection sweeping over the young she-cat. "T-Thanks," she stammered, brushing her soft tail over Owleyes' flank. Looking up at the evening sky, she realized how late it was. Almost sunset, she mouthed to herself, bright sunlight reflecting in her golden eyes. Turning back to Owleyes, she gave another small smile. "Our vigil will begin soon, would you like to sit with me then?" Now that she was a warrior, Shadewing felt a bit more confident but still felt doubtful about something as small as asking her crush to sit with her.

Ashfeather stood and turned, running into her arranged mate. Feeling a little to close, she shuffled backwards, embarrassed. "Um.. hi." She said awkwardly, looking up into his eyes. She thought they showed a puzzle of emotions, waiting to be solved. Usually good at reading others emotions, she tilted her head slightly, wondering for once what he was feeling. "So.. I guess we are mates." She blushed slightly at the thought of this.
