Tigerstar walked over to the clearing where she would perform the ceremony “Let all cats old enough to catch their on prey join here at the Prairie stone for a clan meeting” she announced.
After a moment she watched the elders Phantomeyes and Tornclaw emerge from the elders den, Patchfern, Smokefur and a few other warriors dropped fresh kill on the pile while the other warrior padded out of their den. The apprentices Swanpaw, Maplepaw, and
Charcoalpaw raced over to the clearing as if they were kits. The oldest queen Larkfur emerged from the nursery and joined her son Smokefur, a moment later the two Queens Greycloud and Rubyshine came out their kits pouncing on one another. Tigerstar purred at the site of them the two kits Amberkit, and Dovekit of Rubyshine's litter squealed happily as they chased one another. Greycloud scolded her three kits Eveningkit, Dearkit, and Ivorykit for being to loud. Finally the two apprentices Dashingpaw and Twilightpaw joined her. With a twitch of her tail the crowd fell silent.
“I, Tigerstar, leader of WindClan, 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 a warrior in their turn. Dashingpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior and to protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?”
Dashingpaw nodded eagerly “I do” Tigerstar then looked at Twilightpaw.
“And you Twilightpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior and to protect and defend this Clan, even” Tigerstar paused for a moment “Even at the cost of your life?” Twilightpaw nodded as well
“I do”
Tigerstar continued “Then, by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Dashingpaw, from this moment you will be known as Dashingwind. StarClan honors your bravery and courage, and we welcome you as a full member of Windclan.
Tigerstar laid her head on Dashingwind's head and he in return gave Tigerstar's shoulder a lick, Dashingwind stood aside as Tigerstar turned to Twilightpaw.
“And by the power of Starclan I also give you your warrior name. Twilightpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Twilightmoon. Starclan honors your bravery and courage, and we welcome you as a full member of Windclan” Tigerstar announced laying her jaw on top of Twilightmoon's head, in return Twilightmoon gave Tigerstar's shoulder a lick as well. Tigerstar turned to look at the group of cats that gathered around them. “Tonight, they will sit vigil and watch over the camp”
Together the two new warriors padded over to their clanmates who began chanting “Twilightmoon! Dashingwind!”
Sighing Tigerstar stepped over to Patchfern who licked her ear
“Everything will be alright, you know Dashingwind will make sure Twilightmoon is safe, no matter what”
Tigerstar met Patchfern's pale blue eyes “I don't want him to die either, I want to change the future, but you know as well as I do, thats impossible”
Patchfern brushed his tail against Tigerstar's flank “Your father is watching over us, he will make sure Windclan remains safe”
“I hope your right” Tigerstar meowed, looking at Twilightmoon, a ghost smile on her face.
