BRAMBLESTAR
“It’s time for our kits to be apprenticed,” Bramblestar whispered excitedly to his mate.
Squirrelflight nodded. “I hope you chose good mentors for them,” she meowed.
“I did,” Bramblestar responded. “Brackenfur, Lilyblossom, and Seedfur.”
“I’ll groom them and bring them out,” Squirrelflight said.
Bramblestar padded away and leaped onto the Highledge. His kits were going to be apprenticed! “Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!” he shouted.
Grasskit, Groundkit, and Cavekit were nudged to the front of the group by Squirrelflight. “Grasskit, Groundkit, and Cavekit,” he began. “You are now six moons old and it is time for you to be apprenticed. Grasskit, from this day on, until you receive you warrior name, you will be known as Grasspaw.”
“Lilyblossom, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You will be mentor to Grasspaw, and I expect you to pass on all that you know to Grasspaw,” Bramblestar meowed.
Lilyblossom and Grasspaw touched noses. Bramblestar heard Grasspaw meow excitedly, “Can we go hunting now?”
“Shh,” Lilyblossom whispered. “Watch your brothers, Grasspaw.”
“Groundkit,” Bramblestar continued. “From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Groundpaw.”
“Brackenfur,” he meowed. “You are ready for another apprentice. You will be mentor to Groundpaw, and I expect you to pass on all that you know.”
Groundpaw, with his brown eyes shining, touched noses with Brackenfur. “Cavekit,” Bramblestar said. “From this moment on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Cavepaw.”
“Seedfur,” he finished. “You are ready for an apprentice. You will be mentor to Cavepaw, and I expect you to pass on all that you know.”
After Cavepaw touched noses with Seedfur, the Clan chanted the new apprentices’ names. “Grasspaw! Groundpaw! Cavepaw!”
It’s wonderful to see them as apprentices at last, Bramblestar thought. I can’t imagine how amazing it will be when they become warriors.
Yes, it’s a wonderful day.
