The shadowy kit tumbled out of the nursery, locked in combat with a dark gray cat with dark stripes.
"You'll never win this battle, Petalkit!" The tom squeaked.
"Yes... I... will!" She said as she finally pinned him.
"What are you crazy kits doing out here? You better not be filthy before your apprentice ceremony!" A dark she cat called from the door of the nursery. The two kits looked at each other before running back to the nursery.
"I'm faster!" The tom chirped.
"You're both fast..." The she cat meowed with a sigh before proceeding to clean the kits. The tom squirmed in protest, but the bath was over quick enough before his mother turned to his sister. She stayed perfectly still, slightly annoying the tom. The clan meeting was called before he could say anything.
"Let all cats gather around the shade rock for a clan meeting!"
The kits scampered out to the clearing before taking a seat in front of the rock.
"I have the pleasure of making two kits into apprentices" the leader yowled. "Petalkit, please step forward." His sister obeyed the clan leader, taking three small steps forward. "Petalkit, an apprentice needs several things to become a good warrior. They need loyalty, compassion, and honor. I trust that your new mentor will teach you these things. Branchtail, do you accept Petalkit as your new apprentice?"
The brown tom stepped forward and nodded in agreement. Petalkit touched his nose to hers, then sat by her new mentor.
"Viperkit, step forward." The leader commanded. He did, trying not to show how much he was shaking. "Your mentor will be Pigeonwing"
Viperkit stepped forward and touched Pigeonwing's nose.
"I trust you will train these apprentices well. From now until they receive their warrior names, they will be known as Petalpaw and Viperpaw."
The clan yowled their names in celebration of the new apprentices. Pigeonwing turned to Viperpaw.
"You're going to become a great warrior Viperpaw. You're gonna do great things"
—————————————————————————
To put it frankly, Viperfang didn't do great things. He didn't do terrible things, he just did good things.
