Tanglekit

[Clemence]

Whisperstar took a deep breath before calling the familiar summons. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Highrock for a Clan meeting." She had put off this ceremony for far too long, worried about what this cat might become. But she's a new cat, desperate to prove herself, she told herself firmly. I will not judge until I have seen her. Whisperstar looked around as the Clan gathered, and she relaxed. StarClan knew what they were doing, reincarnating Flame and Tangle. They must know it would turn out all right. She beckoned Tanglekit forward with her tail.

"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this kit. She has chosen to follow the path of a warrior, and so today becomes an apprentice. Tanglekit, from this day forth, until you have earned your warrior name, you will be known as Tanglepaw. I do not have an apprentice, so I will mentor you myself." She blinked warmly at Tanglepaw, and leaped down to touch noses with the young cat. "May StarClan watch over you," she murmured.

"Tanglepaw! Tanglepaw! Tanglepaw!"

Tanglepaw leaped to her paws and raced over to Whisperstar, quickly touching noses. Yes! she thought, it finally happened. But she could see hesitation and expectation in Whisperstar's eyes. Tanglepaw shook her head. It must be her imagination." So, what will we do first?!?!?!" she mewed excitedly, bouncing up and down.

[Golden /~/ Shatter]

Goldenshard watched carefully as Whisperstar announced Tanglepaw's new name. Her leader was worried about the new apprentice, from her name down to the way she seemed to mirror the old leader of DeathClan. Despite herself, Goldenshard was a little worried too. But we have to give her a chance to prove herself a loyal SoulClan warrior. If we never give her that chance, she may learn to despise us. We won't hold a grudge against this apprentice just because of the way she looks. But still, Tanglestar had been a loyal SoulClan cat once too...Goldenshard shook it from her mind. That wouldn't happen again.

Clearing her thoughts, Goldenshard grinned at the new apprentice, and to her leader. It had been awhile since Whisperstar had had an apprentice to train. She lifted her head and chanted the new apprentice's name. "Tanglepaw, Tanglepaw, Tanglepaw!"
