Minnow, Song
Minnow poked his head through the vines covering the entrance of the healer's den, and, upon seeing Song sorting the herbs in her store, the silver tortoiseshell tom purred, "Hey there, Song, good evening!" The tortoiseshell healer turned her gaze to the trans tom and purred back, putting down the fennel she'd been meaning to store away, "Hey there, Minnow, how are you this evening?" Minnow chuckled and admitted, "Still getting used to being called 'Minnow' instead of Onyxlight, I suppose. But I'm getting the hang of being an OwlClan warr- sharpclaw!" he corrected himself hastily, causing Song to laugh. She admitted, "True, still trying to wrap my head around being in OwlClan, and not... you know..." "Shhh," Minnow murmured, gently laying his tail onto the healer's shoulder, "what happened is in the past. We're now members of OwlClan. We should stay positive and make sure this Clan survives for a very long time, long after we are gone." The tortoiseshell healer nodded, determination setting in on her face, "You are absolutely right, Minnow. We should do that, yes." She then glanced at the silver tortoiseshell sharpclaw and asked, frowning slightly, "Aren't you supposed to be on the border patrol?" Minnow blinked blankly at the healer for a moment before realization dawned on him. The trans tom cried, a horrified expression on his face, "Oh no! I completely forgot!" He glanced behind his shoulder as he dashed out, promising, "I'll be back!" Song stared after her old friend, even after he'd disappeared completely out of her view, and sighed. 'Sometimes that cat needs to try his best to remember things," she thought, shaking her head and smiling softly.

Dark Moon
'This is the day,' Dark Moon thought as he leapt up to the Star Rock, 'the three kits of our Clan finally can become softpaws!' Hiding his excitement, the black-furred leader of OwlClan called loudly, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet here, under the Star Rock, for a Clan meeting!" The camp became a hub of activity as the members hurried out from their respective dens, eager to hear what news their leader had to share with them. Grinning from ear to ear, no longer able to contain his happiness, Dark Moon announced, "Cats of OwlClan! Today marks a new journey for our three kits, who have reached the age of six moons!" Cats who had been once members of other Clans beamed at the news and glanced over at the three kits sitting next to their mother, all groomed to shining perfection, while those who had not been part of a Clan before cheered simply out of courtesy, their eyes bright with curiosity at this celebration. "Come forward please," the dark-furred leader called; the three kits did as told, staring wide-eyed at the OwlClan leader. Dark Moon smiled warmly at the kits before meowing solemnly, "Until you have proved yourself as a worthy sharpclaw of OwlClan, you shall be known as softpaws." Turning to his trusty deputy, Dark Moon meowed, "Darkened Bark, you are a gift from our ancestors, and you have, ever since your arrival, done everything in your power to do nothing but good for our Clan. You shall mentor young Falling Feather." To the young she-cat, the black tom continued, "Falling Feather, your mentor will be Darkened Bark." Turning back to the shocked deputy, Dark Moon concluded, whiskers twitching with amusement at his expression, "I hope that you pass everything you know down to her." Bark meowed, still in shock, "I will do my best, Dark Moon." Feather purred, eagerly touching noses with her new mentor, "And I'll do my best to follow your instructions!" Smiling from ear to ear, the mentor and softpaw went to sit together. When Dark Moon expectantly turned to Silver Snow, the young gray tabby tom meowed quickly, "Dark Moon, I'd like to become Faded Song's assistant." As everyone in the camp stared at Snow as the tom explained, "I've watched her do her duties in the healer's den, and I want to help. I want to save lives," he emphasized. Dark Moon nodded appreciatively, meowing, "Once upon a time, the healer was the highest authority, Tribe-Healer of the Tribe of the Shining Lake. You have made an extreme difficult decision in your life, but I am sure that you will make a great healer." Turning to Song, who was smiling knowingly, Dark Moon asked, "Faded Song, will you accept Silver Snow as your softpaw?" The calico she-cat smiled and meowed, "I do." To the gray tabby tom she assured him, "I'll be with you every pawstep of the way, until you become a full-fledged healer." Snow gave his new mentor a grin before the two cats went to sit where Song had been, right in front of the entrance to her den. Once the crowd settled down, Dark Moon smiled down at the last kit, Quiet Rain, and meowed, "Long Shadow will be your mentor." Turning to the longhaired black she-cat, who looked shocked, the dark-furred OwlClan leader continued, "Long Shadow, you will mentor young Quiet Rain. I know that you are an excellent sharpclaw; I hope that you pass all you know down to her." Shadow nodded firmly and meowed, determination in her eyes, "I will do my hardest." When all the softpaws had been named, the crowd went wild, calling out their names loudly, "Feather, Snow, Rain! Feather, Snow, Rain!"
