"Larkkit, from this day, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Larkpaw. Your mentor will be Eaglesnow. I hope he will pass down all he knows to you."
Larkpaw touched noses with her mentor. "Larkpaw! Larkpaw!" The Clan yowled. Next to her stood Tigerpaw, with his mentor, Talonswipe, Featherpaw, with her mentor, Rainheart, Blizzardpaw, with his mentor, Leafsky, and Tansypaw, with her mentor, Cloudfur.
Now, it was Moonkit's turn, and he was getting anxious. He couldn't think of another warrior who would be his mentor. All of them already had apprentices. What if he would have to wait until Juniperpaw and Quailpaw, the oldest apprentices, were made warriors?
"Moonkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed." Stormstar's voice jerked Moonkit away from his thoughts. "Moonkit, from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Moonpaw. Moonpaw, since there are no other warriors left to mentor you, I shall mentor you myself, and pass down all that I know to you."
Moonpaw suppressed a gasp of delight as he touched noses with his leader and mentor. He couldn't believe it: The Clan leader, his mentor? It was so cool!
"Moonpaw! Moonpaw!"
His parents and littermates yowled loudest of all. When they were all done congratulating each other, Stormstar asked him what he wanted to do today.
"I think I want to start with... tree hunting and fighting!" Moonpaw said excitedly. He had always wanted to be able to hunt and fight in the trees.
"Okay, tree-training it is!" said Stormstar.
