Warrior Cat Ceremonies

Quailkit's Ceremony

Quail looked around at all the other cats, they have touched their noses to the ancient stone and after waking up from their slumber, announced their names and a part of the warrior code. Rush woke and exclaimed, "I am Rushkit of BlazeClan!" He was the second to last cat in the line and Quail was last to receive his full acceptance from NightClan. Shivering, Quail touched his nose to the cold stone and everything became black, he kept closing his eyes. Where was NightClan? He opened his eyes furiously, thinking NightClan wouldn't accept him and saw he didn't have his nose against the stone anymore. All the cats were gone and he looked up, he was in a clearing under a star. He looked at the ground and a purr of amusement rose up from in front of him.

He saw a shadowy figure appear, the figure was blurry but after a while he turned into a gray tom. Quail looked at the gray tom, he looked about the same age as him but the tom looked sharp, as if wisdom has taken over the kit. His orange eyes were fixed on Quail. He looked at the shadowy warrior, was this Frailkit?

The wise kit smiled, "Yes I am Frailkit, and I am here to make you a full cat of BlazeClan." Quail's heart pounded, he was now going to be watched over by NightClan. He decided he would see his owner less, but he still wanted to see Jake. Jake was his owner before he decided to join BlazeClan, he still saw Jake once in a while.

His whiskers quivered in excitement and he looked at Frailkit. "I, Frailkit, leader of NightClan call upon all of NightClan's future cats and current cats to watch over this kit. Quail, you will learn the warrior code and what it's like to be a cat in the Clans. Though you and your brother were kittypets at birth, you are no longer a kittypet. From this moment until you become an apprentice, you are Quailkit. I have already sorted out your destiny."

Quailkit padded towards the NightClan leader and touched noses with him, visions of him as an apprentice and a warrior shot through his mind. He stumbled back as the bad moments of his future came, then the good moments, then the death. Everything was a blur and after the visions stopped, he could not remember them. He looked at Frailkit, shaking. "What was that?" He asked.

"That is your destiny." Frailkit looked at him with the most serious face he had ever seen. The shadowy warrior pointed his tail up to Silverpelt and looked up, he did the same. For the first time, he noticed the star wasn't in the sky. "I must go," He mewed and went back to the shadowy figure, then disappeared and the star was back. Frailkit must be that star that was watching over them from Silverpelt.

Everything turned black and Quailkit's nose was cold again. He opened his eyes to the freezing stone and in surprise, tumbled away. He looked at his brother who was smiling. "Did you receive your full acceptence?" He asked and licked Quailkit's ear.

"I am Quailkit of BlazeClan," Quailkit called out. He was happy he was a full cat of BlazeClan, but a cat's eyes was burning into his pelt. He turned and saw Sandypelt, a smile spread across her face.

"Greetings, Quailkit. I am Sandypelt, your new medicine cat." Quailkit knew that she was the medicine cat of BlazeClan, he wasn't deaf and he heard it when she called it out, could tell it was the same old Sandy but with a different name, the Sandy that always wanted to mate with Smoke and even him sometimes. And Smokemoon will always still be the same old Smoke, the one who falls for her tricks.

"And medicine cats aren't allowed to have kits," Dawnstrike snapped, glaring at Sandypelt. Sandypelt even was the one to announce that rule, but she seemed to forget it even happened. Quailkit was relieved, he stretched and watched Darkstream wake up.

"I am Darkstar!" She exclaimed, "I am the leader of BlazeClan!"
