The sun shine bright over the Coveclan Camp as Willowtail took her Kits Stormkit and silentkit out of the nursery for the first time. Cats were roaming the sandy ground. Some where eating fresh-kill. Some where sharing tongues. The young cats looked around curiously. Observing every movement.

"Wow! So many cats!" Stormkit gasped.
Through the moving cats went a tall orange-brown she cat over to the Nursery. Willowtail nodded as a greeting and loosent her tail which was wrapped around her Youngs.

"Greetings to you too Willowtail. And of course to you too you two." the She-cats voice was firm, yet soft. The Kits looked at her with questioning eyes. "This is Daisystar. Our leader." Willowtail introduced her to the kits. "she is the one to whom you owe your name" she said and moved her Tongue over their soft headfur. The kits looked at their leader with big eyes. The Leader spend a few Minutes with the She-cat and her Kits before Joining her Deputy Smokepelt at Sharing Tongues. Stormkit whiped with a Wet paw over her whiskers and Silentkit looked up to their mother.

"Can we go exploring with Maykit?" She asked. Willowtails whiskers twitched. "Then go my two. and dont Bother any Warriors." She released her Youngs and the two rushed over to Maykit, The oldest Kitten in the Nursery. "Come im gonna show you guys around." Stormkit jumped around The older one. "Come." Maykit walked to a Medium sized Den. "This is the Apprentice Den. Ill be there in one moon." Silentkit looked back to the Nursery. "Wont you miss the Nursery?" She asked and remember how much she loved snuggling against Willowpelts fur. "Ill be glad to move out" Maykit exclaimed.

Under some Leafs was a a Pretty tortoiseshell she-cat partly hidden. She only looked a little older than Maykit. "Hello Lynxpaw." Maykit greeted her "Im showing the New kits around." She explained. Lynxpaw stepped out of the Leafs. Silentkits eyes widened. She was Bautiful. "So you are the Kits from Brownleaf hm?" She looked at them. "No we are from Willowtail." Stromkit protested. "I assume nobody told them. well so be it" She lowered her Head down to them. "You two are gonne come to our den soon too. only a few more Moons to go" She smiled softly. then returned to her Den.

"Alright! On we go!" Maykit lead them away from the Apprentice den to the warrior den, then to the Elder den, the Medicin den and lastly the Leaders restingplace. "This is where Daisystar sleeps." she explained. "Why is she sleeping alone" Silentkit asked while her sister Looked around the leaders Den. "Well- uh Because she is the Leader." She said Unsurely to the kit.

"Silentkit! Stormkit!" Willowtails soft voice called out to them. "Come back its getting late and you should go to bed." She Meowed softly. Next to her Hollyeyes stuck her head out of the Nursery. "You too Maykit." Maykit rolled her eyes and went back to the nursery with the 1 moon old Kits. In the Nursery Their Mothers Groomed their fur before sending them off to sleep.

Days turned onto Moons and soon The Gray-brown Mackerel Tabby and her Silvergrey sister were six Moons old. Old enought to become an Apprentice and Train to become a propper Warrior. Willowtail was grooming her Kits fur since the Early sunrise since Daisystar had visited them to Announce their Apprentice Ceremony. "Willowtail ur ruining my furpattern." Stormkit complained as her mother licked her backfur. Silentkit was sitting infront of the Exit. already fully Cleaned and Smooth fur. "Patience Stormkit. Or do you want to look and ruffled up for our Ceremony?" Her sister asked and turned her head.

"Of course not but its annoying" She muttered. As soon as she spoke these words Daisystars Voice echoed throught the Clan camp. "Let all Cats old enought to catch their own Prey gather here beneath the Highrock for a clanmeeting!" Her voice was firm. "Already?" Willowpelt quickly finished her cleaning and got up. "come on Kits. Its time" As the Queen and her Kits exited the Nursery all Cats of Coveclan were already sitting under the Highrock. Willowtail lead them under the Highrock. Silentkit on her left and Stormkit on her right. She then sat down, curling her tail around her paws and the soon to be Apprentice did as well.

Daisystar Jumped off the Highrock and walked over to the Two kits.
"Stormkit, step forward." She spoke soft yet firm. Stormkit approached her Leader.
"Stormkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed."
Silentkits eyes sparkled as she watched her sister. She was so proud.
after a smal break Daisystar continued. "From this day on till you earn your warrior name, you will be knows as Stormpaw." Daisystar made another smal break. "Your Mentor will be Ferretpelt." A young Lightbrown She-cat Stepped foreward. Daisystar turned to her and spoke. "I hope You will pass all your Knowledge and Swiftness down to your new Apprentice" Ferretpelt turned to her new Apprentice and Touched her nose to the others.

After Stormpaw and Ferretpelt went to the side Daisystar called for Silentkit. Willowtail nudged her kit to their Leader. "Silentkid, Your have now like your Sister Stormpaw reached the Age of Six moons. From this day on till you earn your Warrior Name. You will be known as Silentpaw." Silentpaw looked up at her Leader. "Your Mentor will be Iceflower." A Bluish She-cat stepped foreward and stopped next to the Yound Cat. "I hope you will pass your Patience and Hunting ability down to your Apprentice." Iceflower lowered her head and touched her nose with Silentpaws nose.

The Leader then raised her voice once More.
"We also have an Apprentice whos Mentor Goldenflame Thinks worthy of becoming a warrior. Sparrowpaw step foreward." A young tortoiseshell Tom stepped foreward with his Mentor. "I, Daisystar, leader of CoveClan, 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.
Sparrowpaw. do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?" She looked down at the young tom.
"I do!" sparrowpaw spoke proudly.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Sparrowpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Sparrowleap. StarClan honors your  bravory and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Coveclan!" She Held her nose on the New warriors head and he licked her shoulder.

"Silentpaw! Stormpaw! Sparrowleap!Silentpaw! Stormpaw! Sparrowleap!" The clan cats called out their new Names. Welcoming them to the clan.
Willowtail Purred Proudly and went to her kits. "Im so proud of you two. You two will make great warriors."
