Lightningclan October Ceremonies!(2015)

    Littlestar speaking with the mentors Of stumblepaw, Cardinalpaw and Stonepaw, it seemed they had positive things to say and it was time to bestow some names on the soon to be warriors. Cardinalpaw and Stonepaw had both had a bit of tragedy early in their lives and their mentors noted that while they did take the loss of two of their litter mates rather hard they had worked twice as hard after, they were ready to be promoted. He was impressed by the camp, after the cleaning everything seemed so much bigger, no tendrils of ivy winding along the bottom of the camp walls and the tunnels were easier to navigate and get into. Looking around the camp and spotting the three cats he needed he bounded to the fern stone and called out to the camp, " Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey come here beneath the fern-stone for a clan meeting!" 

    The cats of Lightningclan gathered curiously their ears pricked and ready to hear what littlestar had to say.

    "First I would like to start by saying that the cats i'm calling today have made it through some tough times and have come out stronger than ever and I would like to have everyone take a moment of silence to greet Dunekit and Boulderpaw in starclan!" The clan bowed their heads respectfully and Littlestar waited a few seconds before continuing, "Now that that is done, please Cardinalpaw, Stonepaw, and Stumblepaw please step forward! You three have reached twelve moons and as such are ready to receive your warrior names, each of you have gotten into your fair share of trouble and found your way back only to become stronger!" He took in the three cats below him, and called to the first one in the row, 

     "Cardinalpaw it is time for you to become a warrior. I, Littlestar, leader of Lightingclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." 

    "Cardinalpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

    "I do." Cardinalpaw called back proudly

    "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Cardinalpaw, from this moment you will be known as Cardinalcry. StarClan honors your bravery and speed, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Lightningclan." Littlestar stepped off the fern stone then rested his muzzle on top of Cardinalcry's head and got a lick to his shoulder completing the ceremony. He Stepped in front of the next cat, Stonepaw 

     "I, Littlestar, leader of Lightingclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." 

    "Stonepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

    "I do." Stonepaw replied her eyes bright

    "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Stonepaw, from this moment you will be known as Stonetumble. StarClan honors your bright mind and strong heart, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Lightningclan." Littlestar rested his muzzle on top of Stonetumble's head and received a lick he nodded aprovingly and padded to the last cat in the line.

      "I, Littlestar, leader of Lightingclan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn." 

    "Stumblepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

    "I do." Stumblepaw replied 

    "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Stumblepaw, from this moment you will be known as Stumblefall. StarClan honors your Will and stick-to-itiveness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Lightningclan." Littlestar rested his muzzle on Tumblefalls head and with a quick lick the naming was done. "Congratulations to all of you!" Littlestar exclaimed then began the chanting of all three warriors names "CARDINALCry

! STONETUMBLE! STUMBLEFALL!!" The rest of the clan chimed in and soon the camp was filled with mews of congratulations.
