*Markstar smiled at the apprentices.*
Mentors, are you satisfied that your apprentice is ready to become a warrior?
*The mentors all nod and respond.*
Yes, they are ready.
*Markstar nodded.*
I, Markstar, leader of LakeClan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code, and I give them to you as warriors in turn.
Wakepaw, Bladedpaw and Bladepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend your clan even at the cost of your life?
*They nod nod and say I do.*
Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior names.
Bladepaw, from this moment you will be known as Bladeheart. StarClan honors your wisdom, and we welcome you as a full warrior of LakeClan.
Bladedpaw, from this moment you will be known as Bladedflame. StarClan honors your bravery, and we welcome you as a full warrior of LakeClan.
Wakepaw, from this moment you will be known as Wakesong. StarClan honors your sincerity, and we welcome you as a full warrior of LakeClan.
*The clan started to cheer for the new warriors.*
Wakesong! Bladedflame! Bladeheart!
*Once the cheering died down, Markstar spoke again.*
Now, as tradition. You must sit a silent vigil tonight to reflect on your warrior duties!
*Then, he continued*
By naming apprentices we show that LakeClan will survive and remain strong.
*Markstar looked down, then smiled.
Songkit, Lightkit, Reedkit, Bubblekit, Fleckedkit and Dawningkit, please step forward.
*The four kits stepped forward, almost bouncing in excitement. *
Until you have received you warrior names, you will be known as Songpaw, Lightpaw, Reedpaw, Bubblepaw, Fleckedpaw and Dawningpaw!
*Markstar looked down, then smiled.
Songkit, Lightkit, Reedkit, Bubblekit, Fleckedkit and Dawningkit, please step forward.
*The four kits stepped forward, almost bouncing in excitement. *
Until you have received you warrior names, you will be known as Songpaw, Lightpaw, Reedpaw, Bubblepaw, Fleckedpaw and Dawningpaw!
Hailingsky, you shall mentor Dawningpaw.
Whisperspirit, you shall mentor Lightpaw.
Dizzysong, you shall mentor Reedpaw.
Robinwing, you shall mentor Songpaw.
Petalshimmer, you shall mentor Bubblepaw.
Jetblaze, you shall mentor Fleckedpaw.
*The mentors touched the apprentices noses, then the clan started to cheer.*
Fleckedpaw! Dawningpaw! Reedpaw! Lightpaw! Songpaw! Bubblepaw!
*Markstar nodded.*
We still have two more ceremonies. Both are very important. Silentecho, please step forward.
*Silentecho stepped forward.*
Stormwater, you wish to step down as deputy. If that is your wish, that is what shall happen.
*Markstar cleared his throat.*
I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve my choice! The new deputy of LakeClan is Silentecho!
Silentecho! Silentecho! Silentecho!
*Markstar smiled.*
Congratulations. This also means that Fallenstrike is our head warrior!
Fallenstrike! Fallenstrike! Fallenstrike!
Now. There is one more ceremony, but I can not administer it. Nestflame.
*Markstar dipped his head.*
You have spoken with me and you believe it is time for your apprentice to receive his full name. If you believe he is ready, which I also do, then you two shall go to the MoonCave tonight.
*Nestflame smiled, and looked at Ridgepaw, who's eyes were shining.*
Ready?
*Ridgepaw nodded.*
Always.
*Nestflame nodded, and then Ridgepaw and him padded out of the camp. Markstar then spoke.*
That is all!

Silentecho smiled, respectfully nodding to Stormwater, and then cast a glance at Soul, who wasn't looking, and he frowned.
>Silentecho<
Nestflame smiled at his apprentice "You are a great Apprentice Ridgepaw, you've deserved your medicine cat name for a while."
~-~Nestflame~-~
Birchstorm smiled widely and looked at his kits, now apprentices! Fleckedpaw ran up to him eager "Daddy! I can't believe it!" he purred
Birchstorm nuzzled his son affectionatly "I'm so proud of you!"
Fleckedpaw's eyes shone and he bounced up and down on his paws "Thanks!"
~-~Fleckedpaw/Birchy~-~
(if this isn't supposed to be Posted and its supposed to stay at Mooncave, dont post this.)
Nestflame ran into camp, his pelt stained with blood and he was limping heavily "Markstar!!! We need help at the MoonCave, these cats... are attacking. Stormbreak was killed! Ridgefeather he's badly injured." Nestflame almost collapsed, his blood dripped from his wounds and he held his paw up gingerly
Fear was in his eyes "I have no idea, WHO these cats are. But they are dangerous, Deadly."
~-~Nesty~-~
*Markstar leaped up, his eyes flashing.*
What!?
*His tail lashed angrily.*
Jayflight!
*Jayflight came padding out of the warriors den.*
Help Nestflame. I'll send a patrol. Let's hope Ridge...feather? Ridgefeather is still okay. Get some rest and treat your wounds.
*Markstar thought of some cats.*
Birchstorm, Bluegaze, Silentecho, Fallenstrike, Frostysky... and...
*Then he saw Bladedflame pad over to him.*
Let me go, Markstar.
*Markstar's eyes flashed with hesitation and worry for Wake's son, his son. Markstar closed his eyes.*
Okay. But be careful.
*He turned to the patrol gathering.*
These enemies seem dangerous, be cautious, and if you can't defeat them, then retreat.

Nestflame looked around "I need to go with them,"
~-~Nestflame~-~
Frostysky looked at her brother "Nestflame. We got it. Your hurt, stay here, we'll get Ridgefeather back."
Her brother looked defeated but nodded and limped back into the warriors den
~-~Frostysky~-~
Birchstorm unsheathed his claws, his eyes glinting, ready for a fight
~-~Birchstorm~-~
medicine cat den**
A Tiny meow sounded outside camp, and Frigidpaw padded tentatively in, his ice blue eyes glinting with fear.
Will Markstar remember me, or, just kill me for the BlackClan scent that still clings to my fur....?
*Markstar nodded.*
Wait, Grayshadow, you go to. Bring some herbs. If Ridgefeather is as hurt as Nestflame says he is, then he will need help.
*Grayshadow nodded, and went to get some herbs.*
Be careful all of you...
*Markstar stared intently at Bladedflame as the patrol left.*

Frostysky blinked, and padded away
