Eaglekit and Hawkkit's Apprentice Ceremony
Eoaglekit excitedly skipped through the camp, chirping loudly at the cats that she passes. The sun shone overhead as the kit ran up to her brother, grinning widely. “Come on! Come on!” She squeals, launching herself at her brother. “We’re gonna be apprentices, Hawkkit! We’re gonna be Warriors!”
Hawkkit just laughed before rolling Eaglekit off of him. “And I am still going to beat you,” he replies, puffing up his chest.
As the kits approached the crowd, Thistlestrike trotted up, stopping in front of the duo. “You ready?” He asks the two, who just nod as they continue towards the group. “You’ll be fine.”
Thistlestrike goes and sits with the crowd as Eaglekit and Hawkkit walk up the ledge to stand up with Applestar. Eaglekit looked around before looking at the ground sadly. “Mum and Dad aren’t even here,” she whispers to Hawkkit.
“They’re never here. You should be used to it by now,” Hawkkit snarls in response, his ears pressed back.
Their leader cleared his throat and began speaking to the clan. “It is a proud day for the clan as we welcome two kits into our ranks as apprentices, future warriors in the making,” Applestar announces to the clan.
“Eaglekit-”
Hearing her name, Eaglekit takes a step forward, shaking a bit as she turns her head back to look at Hawkkit. “Hawkkit-”
Hawkkit steps up beside her. “Now that you are six moons old, you are ready to become warrior apprentices. Eaglekit, from today, you will be known as Eaglepaw. Your mentor will be Larchberry. I hope Larchberry will pass down all she knows on to you.”
Eaglepaw walks up to the large she-cat cautiously, placing her forehead onto her new mentors. “Larchberry,” Applestar continues, “you are ready to take on an apprentice. Your mentor, Falconwind, taught you everything he knows, and you have proven to be a loyal and courageous warrior. Now, it is your turn to teach Eaglepaw everything you know.”
Turning to look at Hawkkit, Applestar begins the ceremony again. “Hawkkit, now that you are six moons old, you are ready to become warrior apprentice. Hawkkit, from today, you will be known as Hawkpaw. Your mentor will be Ottertail. I hope Ottertail will pass down all he knows on to you.”
As Hawkpaw walks up to his new mentor, he keeps a straight face. The apprentice places his head against his mentors. “Ottertail, you are ready to take on an apprentice. Your mentor, Silverpool, taught you everything he knows, and you have proven to be an honourable and strong warrior. Now, it is your turn to teach Hawkpaw everything you know,” Applestar finishes, turning to face the clan as they chant the two names of the apprentices.
“Hawkpaw! Eaglepaw!”
Hawkkit just laughed before rolling Eaglekit off of him. “And I am still going to beat you,” he replies, puffing up his chest.
