"i do," each apprentice stated as she spoke the words, asking if the soon to be young warriors before her the most important question of their lives. were they ready to take on the responsibilities of being warriors for the clan they called home. as soon as they were named, no one could say they weren't worthy of their names. yet, it was time. bunching up her muscles, redstar leaped off the tip of the tallrock to stand tall before the apprentices she called forward. the first was sandpaw, the pale ginger tom with a fierce attitude. "Then by the powers of starclan, i give you your warrior names."
taking a step forward to stand before the first apprentice, redstar made a point to make sure the entire clan could hear her words. "sandpaw, from this moment on you will be known as sandstrike. starclan honors your speed and fierceness, especcially in battle, and we welcome you as a full warrior of windclan!" with her words to the sand-colored tom, redstar leaned forward to rest her muzzle upon the newly named warrior, awaiting for his response before moving onto the next in her line. sandstrike's sister.
once she was done with sandstrike, the windclan leader shifted over to stand before daisypaw. "daisypaw, from this moment on you will be known as daisyface. starclan honors your honesty and courage and we welcome you as a full warrior of windclan!" again, finished wih the second apprentice's naming, resting her muzzle on the she-cat's head only to have the new warrior lick her shoulder in return. the traditional warrior ceremony, and a symbol of respect. once again, redstar shifted over and repeated the same thing with the next apprentice sibling set. "buzzardpaw, from this moment on you will be known as buzzardfang. starclan honors your bravary and loyalty and we welcome you as a full warrior of windclan!" her muzzle rested on the new warrior's head just moments before moving onto the last of her ceremonies.
with the last one in her turn, redstar began to wonder what her clan would think of the situation with the rogues and shadowclan. pushing the thoughts away to finish up, the ginger she-cat spoke once more. "wigeonpaw, from this moment on you will be known as wigeonfeather. starclan honors your swiftness and dedication, and we welcome you as a full warrior of windclan!" once she finished with wigeonfeather, her muzzle moving from the new warrior's head, redstar turned on her paws and leaped back to her spot atop the tallrock. "let us welcome these new warriors," the leader called out to the clan before she began the chanting of the names. "sandstrike! daisyface! buzzardfang! wigeonfeather!"
redstar took a seat after that, wrapping her tail around her paws and looking out upon the clan. as her ears perked as the sound of the chanting became louder and louder, waiting for everything to die down before she spoke farther about what she wished to tell her clan. after a few moments, redstar got to her paws once again, flicking her tail to silence anything else that may come about. "our warriors will sit their vigil tonight, but first we have other matters to discuss," the ginger she-cat started, sucking in a breath before she began to speak again, giving herself time to gather her thoughts once more. "as some of you may have noticed, swiftfoot, beetleberry, and myself were absent to where the three of us took to a meeting with shadowclan." she'd heard a couple of sharp noises coming from somewhere in the crowd but she pushed forward. "a temporary truce has been made between myself and rosestar and you are all being made aware. this truce is only to be taken in account for the rogues that plague our territory. for no other reason will shadowclan be allowed on windclan territory and our borders will be patroled more."
again, the ginger leader took a pause to let anyone speak their minds before she continued. "i know you all have your own opinions on this matter, but due to the fact that cats have been found on our territory with bite marks that are akin to being eaten by something our own size is worrysome enough to me to call for a truce. my concern is for the lives of each and every one of you, so a truce with shadowclan was the best option to not lose any lives." her words rang out and redstar closed her eyes for a moment before ending the meeting. "this has been a notification to all, if you have questions, please feel free to ask myself or swiftfoot later about it. now is better used to celebrate our new warriors. this meeting is dismissed." with the end of her words, redstar leaped from the tallrock back to the ground below and padded swiftly over to her deputy with a nod to bettleberry. the clan was notified and they were aware, and she was not going to tolerate needless bloodshed with shadowclan because someone wanted to prove a point that the truce was worthless.
TAGGED: all of windclan, crescendo, sybil
NOTES: the ceremony is now complete, daisyface and buzzardfang are npcs and were played solely according to the ceremony. there can now be vocal discussions or opinions on the truce with shadowclan but the decision was made. this is the ending of redstar's discussion so feel free to discuss amonst the cats about it! congrats to the new warriors!also, i know this post was pretty all over the place and probably confusing so i apologize for my crappy post
