Flight of the ;;Raven

[FIREH!!]

<sub>As she bounded into camp, Firestar watched as shadows turned into cats, watching her arrive. Immediately, she threw herself at the Raven's Ledge and stood there. Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, gather here for a clan meeting! she caterwauled to her clan. She noticed two apprentices who needed their names. Cardinalpaw and Rosepaw. You both have proved yourselves capable of becoming warriors today. Rosepaw, from this day forward, you will now be known as Roseglade. Let the clan honor you for your thoughtfulness and tireless energy. She leaped down and touched her nose to the injured warrior's head, knowing that she was too weak to move very well. She turned to Cardinalpaw. Cardinalpaw, you will now be known as Cardinalspire. Let the clan honor you for your loyalty adn bravery. She rested her chin on his head, before backing away.

Dawnpaw, Emeraldpaw, Aerialpaw and Cyanpaw, please step forth. She called to the apprentices. You four have been without mentors, so now I call upon four warriors to mentor you. She turned to Saintcalling. Saintcalling, you have proved your loyalty to me today, and I reward you by giving you Dawnpaw. Train her well so she grows up to be just as noble as you. She smiled at the tom, and dipped her head, before turning to Dovefeathers. Dovefeathers, you are in need of your first apprentice. You will be mentor to Aerialpaw. Train Aerialpaw well so we may accept another great warrior into our ranks. She turned to Chartreusestep. Chartreusestep, you are in need of your first apprentice. You will be mentor to Emeraldpaw. Train him well so we can have yet another fine warrior. And finally, she turned to Scorchedleaf. Scorchedleaf. You need your first apprentice. You will be mentor to Cyanpaw. Train her well so we may have another compassionate warrior in our clan. She smiled at all the new apprentices and mentors and warriors. She leaped back onto the Raven's Ledge and waited while her clan chanted.

ooc;; If there are any kits needing to be made into apprentices, let me know.</sub>

[SHADE. :D]

The small frame of Dawnpaw was clear to see as MoonClan thronged that into the camp. The young she-cat had not attended the battle. She now stood on the tips of her paws, dark blue eyes swishing from side to side in an attempt to see what was happening. Her breath caught in her throat, like a fly soaring straight into the sticky spider's web. So mny wounded! So many dead! It was like a physical blow, to see cats that, only his morning had been walking and talking, lying dead, limp and bloodied. The sleekly pretty apprentice felt out of place amongst the battered survivors. She wished she had gone to the battle now. Maybe she could have stopped at least one of these deaths... Her eyes raked the bodies of Werewolf and Stormprowler, before travelling up to rest on Firestar. Her imstincts rose inside of her, the bold instinct she had possesed since joining MoonClan as a lost kittypet. The black and white she-cat wondered how it felt to be standing on Firestar's paws, and shivered. Not pleasent, she guessed. Dawnpaw's eyes brightened at Firestar's announcement. Saintcalling! Her mentor! She swallowed a mew of happiness. He was strong and respected, and... And everything she wanted to be as a warrior. The young, pretty she-cat padded to her new mentor, rearranging her excited face to a somewhat dignified expression. She then touched noses with him, tail tingling.

Wovenknot trotted into the MoonClan camp, her steel-grey tabby pelt flashing in the fast dying sunshine. The MoonClan deputy was relatively unhurt, but for a few long slashes along her flanks and a bitten paw. The she-cat sat at the base of the Raven's Ledge, her ears pricked and azure eyes sombre. A spark of joy and pride flickered through her gaze as Cardinalpaw was made a warrior. The she-cat padded to him and licked his shoulder swiftly. Cardinalspire. She was so happy for him - he had earnt this day.

Spectreflame's arrival into the camp was less than regal. Her battered tail was lifted carefully from the ground behind her, the bitten end sore and swollen. Rosepaw dangled limply from her mouth, a deadweight against her teeth and tongue. The longhaired white warrior rested her apprentice down beside her brother, light blue eyes sad. She prayed Rosepaw would be alright. She nosed her unconscious apprentice as she was dubbed a warrior. "You will be a brilliant warrior, Roseglade." Spectreflame them stepped back, until her thick coat brushed Crestedfire's. She rested her cheek on his shoulder, mouth tight.

Pearlblade hurried from the elders' den, old legs faltering. She wheezed in shock at the sight of the stricken clan. The old she-cat's ice-blue eyes, still as sharp and intelligent as ever, raced along the group. Her pale, patchy coat bristled. Some of the fur had been rubbed away on her stomach, as though she had rolled around to much in her sleep. The elderly she-cat padded forward, eyes wide and glistening. She wailed at the sight of Ravenclaw, limp and bleeding sluggishly. Pearlblade darted to her daughter's side. She stood over her, tail lashing, eyes blazing with a challenge. "So this battle led only to death and injury," she mewed, voice not angry, but weary and strained.

Also, Aurrie are you posting with Saint back in camp before him and Dark go out together to talk?</sub>

_{Sitting by his sister, newly-named Cardinalspire smiled and accepted his new title, smiling as Firestar deemed him. He then turned to his heroine, who licked him. The tom blushed heavily but it was unseen behind his coat of filamented fire. The ginger tom flicked his tail over his paws. "T-thanks, Wovenknot. I couldn't have done it without you," he said quietly so only she could hear. He then leaned forward and licked her muzzle affectionately. Anyone could see that he had fallen for the older she-cat.}
Falling in the black___________x

x_____________Saintcalling

[/font]
_{Saintcalling walked into MoonClan camp darkly, staring down at the ground. He avoided looking up, afraid that he would see Darkmagic. Instead, he decided to stare straight ahead...at Firestar. The quiet tom blinked when he mentioned her, and a tiny barely-seen smile graced his face. He respected her slightly, if grudgingly. He supposed that she had what it took to be a leader. He exhaled heavily as an apprentice was named for him. Good, this'll get my mind off Darkmagic, the tom thought, turning his cold green-eyed stare to Dawnpaw. He nearly burst out laughing despite himself. She was so excited. However, the tom touched noses with her and moved to the other side of the clearing, out of the way of the others. "I can tell you'll be a good apprentice," he said quietly and calmly.}

Crestedfire

Stay here with me together we'll be stronger
Side by side we've conquered lands and stormed across the seas

[/size]

<sup>Crestedfire curled his tail protectively around Spectreflame, wincing slightly as her head struck a nerve on his slit-open shoulder. "You were a good mentor for her," he said, blushing a bit at becoming so outspoken around Spectreflame now. It was a great difference from when he was younger. He thought about his mother when his eyes caught on Pearlblade. She had been similar to the elder.

He wondered what was going to happen next and sighed, purring as he nuzzled his head against Spectreflame. I'm just glad you're okay, he thought.</sup>

Die here with me we feel this pain no longer
For now and ever we will be

[Spice..xx]

The blakc and white she-cat slipped into camp, normally graceful steps weighed down by the huge form on her back. Crying silently she lowered Shadowprowler onto the ground, burying her muzzle in his smoky grey pelt. She stood up straight a moment later, hazel eyes searching camp. Eventually her gaze found him and she trotted over to the tuxedo tom. "Congratulations" she said to her friend on behalf of his new apprentice. An akward silence then stretched on between the two and finally Darkmagic gave in. "We...We need to talk Saintcalling" she said quietly, raising her gaze to look into his dark green eyes.

[/blockquote][/color]

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

x_Cyanpaw_x

Her heart sputtered as she watched the cats come into the camp. Cyanpaw's green eyes reflected her fear that her brother, who had gone out to find Falconpaw, was killed in the processes. She wouldn't be able to stand losing another brother. Two had already been take from her. Would StarClan take her other brothers? As that question went through mind, her ears perked up at the sound of Firestar's call. She padded forwards, looking at Emeraldpaw before glancing back at Cardinalspire, giving him a shy, but warm smile. She turned back to Firestar, dipping her head to both the leader and her new mentor.

_*Cagedfaith

Cagedfaith made his way into camp, bumping into a few cats in the processes. He couldn't see out of his left eye, which made him unaware of the cats on that side as she padded into camp. He mewed a small apology before stepping into the camp and looking around with his right eye.

[kee :]]

slow.

E A R T H kit ,,

leave walking to the world.

What is that awful smell?

It was a smell that could wake up Earthkit as he slept soundly in the nursery next to his brother and sister. It was something that he had never smelled before, and, of course, Earthkit was intrigued by the ruckus coming from outside his confinements. They're BACK! A huge smile grew on his face as he stared in wonder at the returning cats. Some of them were holding bodies of other cats on their backs, and the site of all the blood made Earthkit's quench and he felt like he was going to puke. That was the smell. The blood of those cats that had risked their lives to protect Clans.

He was quick to be distracted though, from the awful picture, to Firestar. The ginger leader stood proudly, yet weak, on the Raven's Ledge. His mind tuned out to the part that said all cats old enough to catch their own prey and padded out of the nursery to the crowd of concerned and saddened cats. He frowned when he saw all the sad faces surrounding him. Why were they sad? He sat down next to Pearlblade, pressing his short tabby pelt against her tortoiseshell one. He looked scared but at the same time anxious. Not only did he want to find out what happened at the battle, but maybe it was time to receive his apprentice name and a mentor. Just maybe..

give your feet a chance.

they'll do all the thinking.

[x.Jolly.x]

^{Scorchedleaf came back from hunting to hear his name called. Finally! An apprentice! He padded forward. 'Hello, Cyanpaw. I'll try to be a good mentor for you.'}[/color] He nodded to Firestar.

Emeraldpaw came from the apprentice den and sat next to his siblings. He sat near them so he could watch them to make sure they would be okay. He heard his apprentice ceremony and stepped forth. He looked around to find his mentor.[/sup]

[SHADE. :D]

// Yeah. Avenskit and Clarykit should be apprenticed, please. ^^

Dawnpaw grinned broadly at Saintcalling, her body tight with excitement. She imagined going training with the muscular black and white warrior. Him teaching her to hunt, fight, climb, defend MoonClan... It was all so... So enthralling! Dawnpaw quivered as he touched noses with her, ears pinned flat back. His words made her dark blue eyes flash through with pride and gratitude. "Thanks!" she breathed, tail twitching. Dawnpaw dipped her head obediently as Darkmagic approached. She inclined her head respectfully tothe warrioress. She then retreated, pawsteps quick and soundless. She knew Darkmagic and Saintcalling would want time alone... Saintcalling had, after all, been good friends with Darkmagic's now-dead mate. Dawnpaw cast her bright gaze over Shadowprowler's body, and a flicker of regret passed through her. It was a shame. He had been such a good warrior, such a loving mate... Dawnpaw turned too quickly, banging into Cyanpaw. "Sorry!" she mewed genuinely, embarrased.

Pearlblade wound her tail protectively around Earthkit, her ice blue gaze steely. She held the small cat against her patchy flank, wanting to shield the youngster from the gore and death. The elderly she-cat felt a rush of anger. EclipseClan had led them into this... This bloodbath. Pearlblade lifted her chin, white fur glimmering in the weak sunshine, with the sheen that her given her her name as a tiny kit. The elder blinked, knowing that it was foolish to thickly lay the blame on Amethyststar and her warriors. It was there own reckless belief in triumpth that had caused this, in the end.

_{Saintcalling's tail flicked irritably when Darkmagic greeted him. He sighed and turned to Dawnpaw. "Hey, Dawnpaw. I'd like you to stay with the other apprentices for a moment while Darkmagic and I talk. It won't be long. We'll go out for some hunting later," the black and white tom said quietly. The slender tom turned to Darkmagic and twitched his tail, gesturing for her to follow him. "What is it?" he said when they finally got out of the hustle and bustle of the Clanners.}

_{Long legs stretched themselves out, wobbling like stilts over to their master's brother. "Earthkit," Cambriankit breathed, appearing ghost-like over his brother's shoulder as the near-mute tom sat by Pearlblade's flank, his thin tail floating down over hers as he sat. The four-moon-old shook his pelt free from dust and debris, careful to avoid Earthkit's well-stocked pelt. "Pearlblade..."}

[FIREH!!]

<sub>Firestar lifted her head and called out. Avenskit, Clairykit, please step forward. She looked at the two kits, glad to see how much they had become apart of clan life. She stepped forward, and continued. Avenskit, you have reached your sixth moon and are ready to become an apprentice. You will be known as Avenspaw. Sorrowflight, it is time you recieved your first apprentice. You will be mentor to Avenspaw. Please train him as well as Mudfur trained you so that he may be a noble warrior. She smiled and turned to Clairykit. Clairykit, you have reached your sixth moon. You will be known as Clairypaw. She turned to Cagedfaith. I have seen your noble spirit, and I trust you to pass on all that you know to Clairypaw, so she may be a great warrior, just like you. She meowed, her eyes shining as she spoke of new apprentices.

Firestar let the cats chant names, while she thought. What will I tell them? Minnowmask is missing, and we have lost many. I must tell them soon, but first, I have to give Falconpaw her ceremony.</sub>

[(aurora) of the problematique]

_{ooc;// There were two Dawnpaws?! o__O;}

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

x_Cyanpaw_x

Cyanpaw dipped her head respectfully before her new mentor, giving a polite lick to his shoulder. As she turned, a bundle of white and black fur crashed into her. She sat, dazed as she watched Dawnpaw rush past her. "It's..um....alright. Not your fault" She mewed shyly as she scampered away, towards Cardinalspire, a small smile on her face. "Congradulations, Cardinalspire" She mewed dipping her head to Wovenknot before letting her eyes settling on her friend.

[FIREH!!]

_{ooc; Yeah. Dawnpaw's Dawnpaw, and Shade's Dawnpaw.}

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

ooc/: Hey, Fireh, that's the same cat. Dawn's Dawnpaw and Shade's Dawnpaw. Shade adopted Dawnpaw from Dawn.

[(aurora) of the problematique]

_{ooc;// Since Dawnpaw has already greeted Saintcalling and I'm not sure if Cagedfaith even went out with Dawnpaw, how about we just keep Clarypaw as is but delete the bit about Dawnpaw}

I will never let you _fall
cardinalspire
I'll stand ^up with you

[/font] forever[/size][/center]
_{Cardinalspire smiled over at Cyanpaw. "Hi!" the young warrior said, flicking his tail in greeting to the younger she-cat he had made friends with a long time ago. He chuckled when Dawnpaw collided with Cyanpaw. "I'm sure the both of you will do fine with your mentors." He nodded his head to her.}

[SHADE. :D]

// I'm confused... But yeah, what Aurrie said! xD Falconeh, could you have Falconpaw check Ravenclaw and tell Orochiclaw she's going to have kits?

Dawnpaw blinked, embarrased, as Cyanpaw spoke. She scuffed her paws on the earth, but lifted her head again as Cardinalspire spoke. Maybe she'd found some friends! She hadn't been popular in her younger moons, due to her kittypet blood - but perhaps that didn't matter to these two...? Dawnpaw took a few steps away from them. She didn't want to intrude. Here she was, Dawnpaw, so confident and bold; in everything but socializing. She didn't like trying to talk to other cats. It was scary. The apprentice averted her eyes from Cardinalspire and Cyanpaw, feeling a flush dye her features.

Pearlblade gently squeezed the two kits together, her eyes softening. She was no longer a queen, but she still took care of the kits in MoonClan when their mothers were busy. She loved all kits, but she was particularly fond of Cambriankit and Earthkit. She saw something of Selenekit in the two. Pearlblade felt the familiar wrench tug at her heart. She still wondered were her little foster daughter had gone, all those moons ago... The elderly she-cat pushed away the unwanted feeling and concentrated on her own kits, Spectreflame and Ravenclaw. Spectreflame seemed to be growing closer and closer to Crestedfire - but Pearlblade could not imagine her oldest kit as a mother. Her bold nature and brash mouth were unsuited to motherhood; but maybe... Ravenclaw quiet, sensible demeanour was far better suited, and Pearlblade could see that she and Orochiclaw were in love; whether they had admitted it to eachother yet, she did not now. A smile creased Pearlblade's face despite the devestation, and she licked Cambriankit and his sister over the ears.

A great mew flew from the nursery as Avenskit's name was called. The tiny silver tabby, a far smaller copy of his father, streaked across the clearing. When he was about three tail-lengths from the Raven's Ledge he seemed to remember himself and skidded to a stop, before continuing in a slow, carefully-paced walk. But his enthralled expression was still clear on his face. The walk fooled nobody. Avenskit blinked excitedly up at Firestar as she gave him his apprentice name. I'm Avenspaw! The young tom tried not to let out a great whoop of pride, his tail quivering. Avenspaw peered around for his new mentor; Ghostflight. The lean silver tom soon located him and padded forward, before eagerly touching noses with the tom.

The larger copy of the newly-named Avenspaw, Secretcalling, sat outside the warriors' den, his silver and black striped tail curled neatly over his small paws. The slender tom watched his son and daughter gain their new names with pride in his eyes. He remembered his own apprentice ceremony, when he had been given the name Secretpaw. It was as though he had taken a step higher on a very steep ladder - he had felt triumpthant beyong measure. But those were happier times. Secretcalling eyed Wovenknot, his oldest daughter. She was deputy of MoonClan. Deputy. This filled him with warmth that he could not express. She still loathed he and Limestone for their deciet and the fact that they had, quite plainly, abandoned her. Secretcalling padded to join his mate outside the nursery, licking her ear. "I swear they were lind, wriggling little scraps only yesterday," he smiled.

[FIREH!!]

<sub>Limestone grinned. I know. But now Wovenknot is our deputy, and our youngest are apprentices. My, we're getting old! She nudged him affectionately. Secretcalling, I love you. She purred, resting her head on his shoulder.

ooc;;Sorrowflight, not Ghostflight, Shaderaderoo. xD

bic;; Firestar watched the scene of Limestone and Secretcalling, and smiled to herself. She flicked her tail for silence and continued. Today, in this battle, we lost many. You can see them, their bodies residing in our camp, and we grieve for them. But one body is missing. and that is the body of Minnowmask. I do not know where he went, but I know that we cannot go on much longer without a medicine cat. Falconpaw, She turned to the apprentice, Please come here. I have seen you fight illnesses as if they were invisible cats, trying to kill our own, and I think it is time you were made a full medicine cat. Do you promise to uphold the medicine cat code, even at the cost of your life? The air around Firestar was still as she waited for the answer.

Orochiclaw let Ravenclaw lean against him We're here now. It's safe. We're back in Moonclan. Come back to us.. He murmured into her ear. Wake up.. He murmured.</sub>

[(aurora) of the problematique]

_{ooc;// Fireh and Falcon, since Runningcloud is taking Lavenderpaw to the Moonshard to have her receive her name, would it be alright if Runningcloud could pick up Falconpaw along the way?}

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

x_Cyanpaw_x

Cyanpaw looked down, away from Dawnpaw shyly as she shuffled closer to Cardinalspire. It was hard to beleive that two very different cats like the newly named warrior and apprentice could be friends, one being shy and quiet the other being excitable and hyper. Her tail stayed curled around her back paw as she looked up at her friend. "I just hope her won't end up like Fallingember" She mewed softly. Her former mentor had been a respected warrior in the Clan. Cyanpaw had been honored to be his apprentice, but sadly, he was attacked by a tribe member and killed, his body mangled. It reminded her of Toxicpaw, and Eurputionpaw, her brothers that were also killed recently.

[x.Jolly.x]

^{Emeraldpaw went to his sister. 'Congratulations, Cyanpaw. Toxicpaw and Eruptionpaw are probably watching us, feeling proud for what we've been through.'}[/color] He sat down, then shuddered. Those thoughts still brought tears to his eyes. He blamed himself for the deaths of his siblings. I could have saved them... He though, as he fought back the tears that threatened to slide down his scarred face and show his softer side. He always had a shield around him, a hard outer shell that only few could break through. He felt that it was his destiny to protect his siblings. 'They could've been here today if I had saved them. Only I had to be out hunting with my mentor. I hope nothing happens to this apprenticeship...'[/color] He mumbled.[/sup]

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

__ -feels stupid- I'll post with Chartreusesteps. Raven, can you have Cagedfaith talk to her or something? :3
And who plays Clarykit?

Proud, tall, majestic, Chartreusesteps didn't bother joining in the chanting. She nodded to Cardinalspire, the more... promising of the two, given Rosepaw's hyperactive nature. Her hard eyes were flickering around camp, because that was just the way she spent her time during these meetings: watching calmly, not caring for the everday gossip but instead thinking about other things. She didn't start when her name was called, but she blinked, rigid form rising and padding heavily over to Emeraldpaw. Chartreusesteps caught the glint of tears in her new apprentices eyes, and instead of touching noses with him as was custom she cuffed him on the ear. "Enough of that," she grunted, glaring at Emeraldpaw. "We'll train when I see fit." she knew what most apprentices were like: always expecting to have an assignment as soon as they got their 'paw name. "Go make yourself useful." That was her's.

[/blockquote]

[&&R.A.V.E.N :3]

//It's alright, Kuri. I wasn't going to ask about it because I know I can gte annoying. XD//

x_Cyanpaw_x

Cyanpaw's tail thrashed a few times as she heared her brother's mentor's voice, a small growl came from her softly. Her eyes flicked to Emeraldpaw, softening slightly. She didn't like it when cats were rude to her brothers. Especially Emeraldpaw. But like always, she didn't say anything, she simply laied her tail on her brother's shoulder, trying to comfort him.

_*Cagedfaith
His one golden eyes narrowed darkly as he watched Chanteusesteps ignore the custom and instead, cuff Emeraldpaw across the ear. As she walked away, he padded up towards Emeraldpaw, nosing him before padding after the she-cat. "That was rude. I would be surprised if Firestar found out about that and replaced you with another cat" He growled, his eyes still narrowed. He was quickly getting used to the fact that he could only use one eye.

[[xoxo] shard. :)]

Shardfeather

Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
^{All alone} with the memory
Of _{my days} in the sun[/center]

He felt like a coward. He'd not attended the battle because of his blindness. The tom felt that he ought to have gone, that he didn't need to live anyway. He was only a burden, not even a natural-born MoonClanner. Shardfeather had made a journey from IceClan, a Clan far away, in the Elemental Forest. He wanted to fit in, but he couldn't. He never would. Who would love someone that was blind? Those ominous, pupilless icy blue eyes were a bit terrifying.

"Cardinalspire, Roseglade, Cardinalspire, Roseglade!" The blind tom's chants were with no doubt audible, but they lacked emotion. He longed to be a kit again, back at the IceClan camp, before the hurricane. He treasured those few memories of the two moons when he would curl up beneath the hollowed block of ice that was the nursery, still warm because of the adaptation of a thick pelt, beside his sister, Riverkit, and his mother, Frostfoot. Oh, how he wished to see them once more. But he never would. His mother had died far too early in the journey to walk with the starry ancestors that reside over the Black River Forest. But what about his sister? Had she made it far enough? Likely not. He had no family left, no one to love or care for him.

So why not die?[/size][/blockquote]

[FIREH!!]

<sub>ooc;; Alright aurrie, that works. But I'm going to give her a name first. xD

And Fern plays Clairy.

bic;; Firestar looked around at her clan before continuing. Then with the powers of Starclan, I give you your medicine cat name. Falconpaw, you will now be known as Falconfeather, for your skill in healing cats like defeating invisible enemies. She touched her nose to the she-cat's ear before returning to her position. Clan, I have terrible news. When we left the battle, we had lost. We lost the battle and some of our cats. Tonight, we mourn for them. But we will rejoice for the fact that we have shown the Tribe that we are no cowards. She looked around at her clan. Now, I will be going on the evening patrol, and I would like Shardfeather, Crestedfire, and Dawnpaw to join me. She meowed. Bunching her muscles, she leaped down and waited at the entrance for her patrol.</sub>

[x.Jolly.x]

^{Hearing his mentor speak to him like that, Emeraldpaw flared up instantly. 'You try losing TWO brothers, your mentor, your father, AND your mother and try to be fine! Mind your own business. I didn't ask for you to be my mentor. I don't want you for a mentor. I think I'm allowed to show some emotion, unlike you. You don't care!'}[/color] All his rage from the past few moons came out in these sentences. He knew he would get in trouble later, but now he didn't care. Thinking of one last retort, he cried, 'You're just sitting around, so why don't you go do something?'[/color] Emeraldpaw turned his back pointedly on his mentor and let Cyanpaw try to comfort him. Muttering under his breath, he sat down and listened to Firestar. All I want is a mentor who can help me! why do I always have to have lousy apprenticeships? He sighed, and watched Firestar.[/sup]

[all out JINX ♥]

//I'm just going to pretend that they were here the whole time if thats otey with everyone.....

//A grey and white tom sat next to his sister still anxious, she wouldn't let him see Icefrost yet not when Firestar was in the middle of a meeting. When he heard the great leader apprentice 2 kits, pride jolted through him when the amber femme gave him the small silver tabby tom. Sorrowflight touched noses with Avenskit his night green irises were flooded with confidence and worry. "I will do my best to be the best mentor I can be" After he set his grey and white tail on the small toms shoulder he nodded to Mudfur as he got to his paws and left the 2 to look in the nursery for his mate.

The brown tabby watched as Sorrowflight disappeared in the crowd, her yellow-green irises forced their way back to Avenskit. "Congragulations Avenskit, you should be proud to be an apprentice. I'm sure you'll make a fine warrior" A smile spread across the femme's face, she still worried about Doveflight in the medicine cats den. She Mudfur looked around the clearing for Sapphireheart, more importantly Heavysand.

^{Crestedfire lifted his head as his name was called, and he struggled to his paws. Exhaustion crashed down onto him and the tom crumpled to his paws. "Firestar...," he said breathily. "I...I don't think I can make it. Can you have another cat attend the patrol with you?" The meek tom had been injured majorly in the battle against the Tribe but hadn't been seen by a medic. He had stayed silent by Spectreflame's side, not complaining or crying so he wouldn't seem like a coward in her eyes...like he was when Chaosfire had attacked.}

_{Cardinalspire opened his mouth to speak to Cyanpaw but was distracted by Emeraldpaw and Chartreusesteps. The ginger tom frowned slightly. "Hey!" he squeaked. Embarrassed by how that came out, he cleared his throat and tried again. "Emeraldpaw, that's a full-grown warrior you're talking back to there. Firestar had good judgment in choosing her so I suggest that you watch your attitude before she holds you back from warriorhood. Whatever you have to say bad to Chartreusesteps you can just keep it to yourself" His tail flicked authoratively, staring Emeraldpaw down and daring him to talk back this time.}

_{Cambriankit wriggled away from Pearlblade, padding over to Shardfeather. Almost as if he had read the older tom's mind, the very-quiet tom lifted his head to the blind one. "Pearlblade needs you," he said softly. The thin tom waved his tail back and forth, not noticing that Shardfeather was blind. "She misses your presence..."}
