CorkStar was enraged!
"We need strong warriors, not helpless, blind, cats, they are going to be extra meat, just to be taken care of, doing nothing!"
"CometKit will be a warrior, if you don't want to chose his mentor, when he ages to be an apprentice, then I will."
"You're no leader, StarlingClaw! You aren't even deputy! But, fine. When the time comes, you shall come to my den, and discuss."
NightBlair stared blankly at the ginger kit, as CorkStar left.
Cats came into the nursery, BrindleTail was eating some mice with ChervilNose, SnowCloud was finishing her thrush, and CormantStorm was talking with HoundKit.
"Don't blame yourself, HoundKit, FlailKit wandered away." CormantStorm mewed.
"But, it was mine and ShadowPaw's responsible to watch her!" HoundKit yowled.
"Don't worry about it, things like these happen. Look at the cats around you, they experienced things like that. Even the queens!"
HoundKit looked at BrindleTail and SnowCloud, then he saw FrostKit.
"That's FrostKit, she's one of SnowCloud's kits. She won't be communicating till when she's older." StarlingClaw paused.
"Your going to become an apprentice soon! Aren't you excited?"
"Uh, ya! But, who will be my mentor?"
"Depends" A yowled surrounded the camp. CorkStar was standing on the HighStone, and FrogCloud sat on the side.
"All cats old enough to travel far gather around the HighStone!"
All the cats were silent.
"I, CorkStar, leader of ThornClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. ShadowPaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do, CorkStar"
"Then by the powers of SunClan, I give you your warrior name. ShadowPaw, from this moment on you will be known as ShadowFoot. SunClan honors your courage and boldness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThornClan. Clan dismissed."
StarlingClaw was shocked, ShadowFoot was going to be a warrior, the next moon!
"CorkStar, you never told me, you were going to do ShadowFoot's ceremony, and she's too young!"
"We need more warriors, I'll do ChervilNose's litter by next sunhigh."
"But they are too young! They won't survive." StarlingClaw yowled.
"I'm your leader, I can make any cat a warrior or an apprentice! A leader made three moon old kits train as apprentices! Do you want me to do that?!" CorkStar rasped.
