[ x ] happy days .;

[SHADE. :D]

Night had fallen. The fingers of creeping ebony at finally won the war against the bright gold shimmer of twilight, and the sun had set into its nest of cloud. The sky shone a deep black, while Silverpelt glimmered high among the dark clouds. Each StarClan warrior had assembled to watch over their own clan. The eerie silver glow of the moon cast a sheen over the gloomy clearing that was the EclipseClan camp, illuminating every minute detail. The fern dens, the sheltered corners, and the great black tooth of rock that stood in the centre of the camp. The Shaderock. The monlight played upon the smooth surface of the shard, making white spots of light dance upon the grass.

A black shadow was travelling slowly across the clearing from one such sheltered corner. It was not obvious that this shadow was, in fact, a warrior, until you noticed the two pricks of dark amber. he she-cat made her way towards the Shaderock, her small frame swathed in black fur and strong muscles. Her shoulders were broad and her legs wiry and strong. Her eyes were two deep pools of burning fire, and her tail flicked slowly back and forth as if she were about to pounce. The she-cat stopped by the side of the great pointed rock, touching her nose to the cool surface, before leaping and clawing her way to the top. "May all those cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Shaderock for a clan meeting!"

Her voice was strong and bold, and rang out across the clearing. Immediatly cats began to appear. Amethyststar watched her clan emerge from their dens. Pantherstealth had just returned to camp, so joined the crowd, sitting beside Scrawltale, how supported Gillwing. Spectrumflash poked his head out from between the ferns of the medicine den, though his limbs were too tired for him to walk. Corbynkit peered out from the nursery, only his wide eyes visible against the gloom. Beacanpaw staggered from the medicine den with Sunpaw, his flnks swathed in cobwebs.

"EclipseClan!" yowled Amethyststar. "It is time we appointed two new warriors!" The black she-cat looked down at Beacanpaw and Sunpaw. "I, Amethyststar, leader of EclipseClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn." Amethyststar turned her amber eyes onto Sunpaw. "Sunpaw, from this moment onwards you shall be known as Sunheart. The clan honours your loyalty and your compassion, and we welcome you as a full warrior of EclipseClan." Amethyststar turned to Beacanpaw, who looked excited despite the pain he was in. "Beacanpaw, from his moment on you shall be known as Beacansong. The clan honours your bravery and your forethought and we welcome you as a dull warrior of EclipseClan."

Amethyststar paused to let the clan chnt the names of the new warriors. Beacansong touched his nose to his sister's flank in congratulations, while Scrawltale purred happily at her kits. "Beacansong, Sunheart, you will spend tonight guarding the camp, keeping a vigil of silence and reflecting on your new name and status." Amethyststar looked down at Gillwing. "Before we go on," she yowled. "I want to thank Beacansong, Gillwing, Razortomb, Spicetalon and Scrawltale for their bravery this afternoon." The black she-cat turned to a smaller cat. "Finally, Silentpaw is without a mentor," she meowed. "Gillwing, you will mentor Silentpaw. I hope you will pass down all that I taught you." Amethyststar ducked her head. The meeting was over. She leapt down from the Shaderock and slipped into her den.

[[xoxo] shard. :)]

Silentpaw touched noses with his new mentor, Gillwing. "Hello," he mewed quite briefly.

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt beamed with pride at her apprentice receiveing his warrior name. She chanted their names along with the rest of the Clan.

[Spice..xx]

Petaldance smiled as Amethyststar gave the announcements. "Sunheart, Beacansong, Sunheart, Beacansong!" she chanted quietly with the rest of the clan, flicking her lilacy coloured ears to shoo away an annoying fly. She sighed as she waited for the end of the meeting. Her warm nest was calling her name.

[FIREH!!]

Gillwing chanted the new warriors' names, and stepped up to Silentpaw. He touched noses and meowed, "Hello." He looked at the apprentice. "When do you want to train?"

Razortomb chanted the warriors.

Spicetalon chanted and watched Amethyststar pad to her den. He got up and quickly followed her.

[[xoxo] shard. :)]

^{Silentpaw shrugged. "Soon as we can, I guess," he mewed briefly, his tone low and his voice soft, but just loud enough to hear. He was excited to train, but his eyes that never shone were unable to really show it. His despair of his past was still in his mind.}

[/sup]

[trissea]

Glacierstripe chanted with the rest of the clan, sitting quietly next to Petaldance. The air was suprisingly cold after the warriors' den, and she wished to be beside her friends once again. She was happy now that Beacansong and Sunheart were warriors, too, and they'd be together in the same den as they had been when she'd been an apprentice.

[(aurora) of the problematique]

^{Sunpaw's jaw went agape. "I'm...a warrior?" she exclaimed and then looked over at Beacanpaw--no...they were Sunheart and Beacansong now. She nodded mutely to Amethyststar and padded out to the tom. "Congratulations," she said weakly. "I'll be waiting by the camp." Sunheart padded off, nodding her thanks to the kudos she received. The ginger Rex warrior bounded off to the camp entrance, pondering her name.}

[SHADE. :D]

Beacansong nodded. He blinked a congratulations at Gillwing, before limping after his sister. He felt like he was on top of the world, his spirits soaring. The light brown warrior sat calmly beside Sunheart, taking a moment to examine how she had grown. Her ginger coat was thicker, darker, and her limbs had grown longer. She had always been slender, like himself and their mother, but her muscles were more defined now. Sunheart, he thought to himself. His sister had a cheerful, bright nature. It suits her. Beacansong looked up at the bright specks in the sky; Silverpelt. He knew Aspenkit an Fennecmask were watching now, chaning their new names and smiling with pleasure.

Pamtherstealth got to his paws, wincing. He had trod on a thorn while out hunting with Glacierstripe, which made his paw hard to walk on. The dappled warrior got to his paws, shaking his thick, dark coat, then yawned. He blinked his amber eyes at the two new warriors, smiling. They deserved this. Pantherstealth padded back into the warriors' den, disappearing from view. Spectrumflash withdrew into the medicine den. Corbynkit turned and was swallowed into the shadows of the nursery.

Scrawltale touched her nose gently to Gillwing's shoulder. "Congratulations." The she-cat stepped back as the tom spoke to his apprentice, knowing he would want to speak to Silentpaw. Scrawltale yawned, showing her sharp white teeth. The she-cat turned and licked at a cut on her flank a couple of times, then trotted into the warriors' den. She curled up beside Pantherstealth, pressing her fur against uncle's side. Fennecmask, he thought. Wherever you are, know that I miss you.

[FIREH!!]

Gillwing blinked his thanks at Beacansong and Scrawltale. He turned to his apprentice, "I need to head back to the medicine den, and Beacansong as well, buty tomorrow we'll start. Allright?" He asked.

"Where are my patients!?" Cried Littlefox goodnaturedly. "I need you in my den. Now."

[[xoxo] shard. :)]

^{Silentpaw nodded, understanding what happened to Gillwing. Without speaking a word, he waited, watching as his new mentor went to the medicine cat's den before padding to the apprentices' den and laying down to rest. He had a long day ahead of him, and though the only thing that betrayed it was his twitching tail, he was quite excited.}

[FIREH!!]

Gillwing followed the medicine cat to her den.

Littlefox padded to her den and stood off to the side as Gillwing found a nest and laid down. She waited for Beacansong to come.

[SHADE. :D]

.ooc; He's doing his vigil.

[FIREH!!]

ooc:// Alright.
