The leader of ShadowClan swished his way up to the announcement area. He was cheerful - a very different mood from what he had been feeling the previous day at the gathering. Not that there was anything to make it a bad day - the weather was nice, and the Clan was behaving itself... a very regular day, really. But he wasn't here to idle on about the weather. He was here for a reason, a reason that he was about to carry out. "Would all cats old enough to catch their own prey meet for a Clan meeting!" His voice boomed out over the Clan camp, and as he watched the cats of ShadowClan slowly trickle out of their dens to gather below him, eager and expectant in their gaze. Everyone knew what this was for, and if they didn't, they had a fairly good guess: the apprentice ceremony - finally! - assigning Patchpaw his new mentor; a truly joyful occasion indeed, if they proved to be right in their guess.

Patchpaw:; Patchpaw flicked his ears as he came out of his slumber. He had slept since the Gathering because his mother wanted to see him before she left. He twitched his tail and smelt himself for a long second, convinced he smelt of ThunderClan. He shook his head and sighed, knowing that it was only his imagination. His bright emerald eyes looked through the branches of the den and realised with a jolt that there was a Clan meeting. He grinned, he hoped for a new mentor since his old one had gone into retirement due to the loss of his hearing. He merrowed before he pulled his lean body into a stretch and padded out of his den. He was turning out to be quite a handsome cat. His emerald eyes gleamed in antisipation, he hoped for a new mentor desperately. It was boring having to go on patrols all the time and never being able to play-scuffle or fight. He looked up, seeing Dankstar calling a meeting. "Please StarClan," he muttered as he padded forward.

[glow=blue,2,300]RASPTHROAT[/glow]
Raspthroat heard the call coming from the clearing and moaned to himself angrily as he got up out of his comfortabe mossy bed and limped out of the elders den. He cursed under his breath as the sun went in his half closed nearly blind yellow/green eyes. He coughed violently, the reason for his name. He looked up as he walked and saw young Patchpaw. He nodded briefly. Unless he was training them the only use he had for apprentices was to bring him food and check him for ticks. That was all. He gave a polite greeting to Dankstar. Now that was someone he respected. He sat impatienly in waiting for the meeting to begin. Then he was pleased to see Ebonyflame, his former apprentice and granddaughter. "Hello Ebonyflame." He rasped.
[glow=purple,2,300]EBONYFLAME[/glow]
Ebonyflame stalked out of the warriors den. She had been hnting all morning and had just enjoyed a lovely slumber before being woken up by Dankstar calling the cats of Shadowclan to a meeting. She saw Raspthroat and purred shortly as she approached him. Her long, thin, black tail swished from side to side as she padded over to him along the wet marsh land ground on four swift paws. "Hello Raspthroat." She nodded respectfuly at him. She sat beside him and swivled her head round to look for Firestone. He must be in his den, she thought quickly. The other day with Firestone had been unlike any other she had ever had. It was so, well ..... nice. She was generally happy with him. That was rare. She hoped Raspthroat wouldn't noticed she was looking. She knew what he thought of all that, it was weakness he would say.Also Firestone was a medicine cat!!! Starclan has forbidden Medicine cats to have mates but she couldn't help herself. She was like a love struck apprentice. She gazed up at the leader, Dankstar. What would he say if he knew?? She shivered slightly.
OCC- Sorry Nimbles but you said that Patchpaw's old mentor had to retired. Well Raspthroat is the only Shadowclan elder. Does that mean Raspthroat was his old mentor? If not should we make it that way?? Just asking.

Nimbles:;OoC|| Patchpaw's old mentor was Brackentail who was Speckles character. I didn't want to say that he died, so I just said that he had retired, but if you want, we could make it that Raspthroat was his old mentor.

[Do you wanna know what Dankstar would say? "No way in ****ing .ell would I allow a medicine cat to have a mate. Especially in my Clan." And this will be a short post. I'm needed elsewhere.]
Dankstar waited until most of the Clan had gathered. Once they had gathered, he began the ceremony. "Patchpaw, would you come up here?"

Patchpaw:; Patchpaw twitched his ears as Dankstar called him name. He smiled and bounded up to his den in one easy leap. He felt surprisingly strong and supple today, maybe it was the pints of adrenaline coursing through his veins at this exact moment. He looked at the crowd of cats, which one would be his new mentor? His dark grey fur was groomed and sleek; he felt like the handsome cat he was soon to turn into. His emerald eyes sought out the other apprentices before he winked playfully at them. He was proud to get a new mentor, this way he could take a full part in the forest life. He grinned and didn't feel self-conscious, crowds didn't scare him. He felt rejuvenated and almost kit-like. He could barely sit still; he knew he must look very excited because he hopped from paw-to-paw, waiting to know who it was.

Firestone the Medicine Cat Twenty five moons, and still teh scars still showed. The medicine cta had tried covering them, healing them, but nothing would work. The tom growled and stoppe dorganizing his den as he heard Dankstar's call. Grat! Just what he needed! The large tom gave himself a quick cleaning and excited his den just as Patchpaw was approching Dankstar. Looking aorund, Firestone spied Edbonyflame looking f or him. His glossy jet black bodice shivered, rememberig the other day with her. He knew he shouldn't be doing what he was doing, but he could care less. His massive light gray paws stpped out into the daylight, keeping at just the right pace for stalking over to Edbonyflame. He eyed Raspthroat and said YOu should coem to see me later for your thort before casting a glace at Edbonyflame. He tapped her lightly with his tail and nodded a silent greating. His organge stone caught the light of the sun and gleamed, like the rest of his pelt. His permently narrowe amber orbs looked up at the leader and he blinked his white eyelashes. He licked his lips, his one yellow croooked chomper showing.Mudface the warrior A sleepy tom-cat stalked from teh shadows of teh camp. HIs large stocky attractive bodcie streched once before coiling up and walking swiftly over the the group of cats. Mudface's unforgiveing green orbs stared unblinking at Patchpaw. How he wanted an appretnice! Was it the leader did not trust him, as he did not trust his leader? The tom unsheathed his sharp daggers and bared his chompers in anger. THen he stopped. Not the wy to act at the moment. He sat, his long legs curled under him as he waited.Tigereye the warrior Runningwater! COme on! We have to get to the meeting. TIgereye ran ahead of his firend and dropped teh few pices of fresh kill on the pile before bolting over to Dankstar. The tom was breathing heavly and sat next to Raspthroat, giving his a nod of respect. His big dark brown bodice heaved in and out with each breath he took and slowly the gulps resides into deep breathing. He watchted as Patchpaw approched Danstar. He blinke dhis orbs, the left one being blue while the right was brown. He padded teh ground in anticipation with his silver paws.Runningwater the warrior Okay Tigereye! a small grayish-blue she-cat warrior trotted after her best friend. He was carrying her prey for her so it looke dliek he had caught something, but he hadn't today. Her mountain whikers went up and down as she sighed and sat next to Firestone.

"We are gathered here today to re-assign a mentor to an apprentice. Patchpaw has been without mentor for a few moons now, and it is not fair to him. Therefore, I will assign a new mentor without any more delay." Silence as he reconsidered his choice of mentor. It had either been himself or Runningwater. He would want the apprentice near him, Patchpaw being Autumnstar's kin and all, but then... No. Runningwater it would be. "Runningwater, would you come up here?"
[hope thats okay. Mudface can have the next apprentice if you want, Gray.]

Runningwater walkd up to Dankstar and stood before her leader with pride.

"Runningwater, you have proved yourself a loyal and trustworthy warrior." He stared at her, cold fire in the green eyes, as if he was looking into her soul. "I have chosen you to become Patchpaw's mentor. I know that you he will learn much from a mentor such as you." Turning back to the Clans, he raised his head up to the sky. "I say this before StarClan, so they may see and approve my choice. Runningwater will be the new mentor for Patchpaw."

Patchpaw:; Patchpaw looked around with his bright amber eyes before he looked at Runningwater. He gawped at her for a long moment. His new mentor. He purred and stepped forward as Dankstar began his customery ceremony. "I say this before StarClan, so they may see and approve my choice. Runningwater will be the new mentor for Patchpaw." Patchpaw twitched his tail in excitement and leapt to his paws before he jumped to his paws and went to touch noses with his new mentor. He wanted to keep saying that phrase in his skull. 'His new mentor, his new mentor...' He grinned and let out a purr of excitement, his tail weaving in the air, unable to contain himself.

Runningwater smiled down at Patchpaw and touched ehr nose to his. She could hardly contain herself and she smiled as her new appretnice purred. She licked his shoulder and felt her orbs brim up with tears. Thankyou for this honer Danksatr she murmered, hardly loud enough for him to hear. SH eracked her brain. Patchpaw had not had a mentor for a whilem but still knew things. She would start with hunting to see where he was.

"Thank you for this honor Dankstar." The words, hardly more than a whisper, reached Dankstar's ears as he was speaking. Finished with his words, he looked at the she-cat who had spoken. Runningwater, he was surprised to see, was tearing up; surely this was not something that one could get onself all worked up about? It was because of this sight that he was moved to reply to the warrior. "The honor was all mine," he said, smiling slightly. Then, raising his voice, he called out into the sky - "Patchpaw! Patchpaw! Patchpaw!" It was the apprentice's moment to shine, and shine, Dankstar was determined, he would.

Firestone Firestone watched as Runningwater touched noses with the appretnice. Her apprentice. He wished RObinpaw would accutally come to him and ask for training! If he wa sin TerrorClan, he would have an extreme wake-up call! He growled and, as Dankstar begain shouting "Patchpaw! Ptachpaw!" he rolled his amber orbs and looked around camp, trying to spot his own apprentice.
Mudface The mudbrown warrior sighed and raised his muzzel to the sky. Good luck PAtchpaw! Good luck Runningwater! he murmere, He then got to his pistons and shook himself, waiting for any more annoiucemntes.[/color=Red] Tigereye Yeah Patchpaw! Patchpaw! Tigereye yelped happly. THe warrior may be older, but he still could act silly and younger sometimes. HE winked at Runningwater and smiled at her encouragely. He knew that this must mean alot to her.Runningwater Tribe of Endless hunting and StarCLan, thank you so much! She thought, looking around at teh Clan. In teh shadow, she saw a large cat with claws like a tiger. She cocke dher head to teh side, but then it was gone. But she heard it say something. You are on your way to teh top, just like- But the cats voice faded out before it finished. Just like who? Who was that cat? Firgetting it, RUnningwater looked at PAtchpaw and asked, We should start traing early tomarrow, right as teh Dawnpatrol leaves. she said.[/size] ooc//Runningwater has Tigerstar's blood running in her veins. TO learn more, if interested, look at her brothers bio. He is Eaglepaw of THunderClan

Patchpaw:; Patchpaw raised his head proudly before he flicked his tail as the Clan began to call his name. Although it was a great honour, it wasn't as special as it was the first time... He smiled to himself before he twitched his ears and looked at Runningwater with a skeptical look. Was she crying? He twitched his fur with mild irratation, he had pushed his mother's spirit within him away and he seemed to be more like Dankstar than his mother, Autumnstar. He had tried to push his mother away by trying to be like his own leader, it was seemingly working. He smiled before he looked at Runningwater. "We should start training early tomorrow, right as the Dawnpatrol leaves. Patchpaw nodded and smiled. "As the Dawn Patrol leaves," he agreed slowly. He was used to waking at the crack of dawn to accompany the patrol.
