The Dawn of [ARCTIC] a New Era

[Mossmask]

[Deep inside of you there's a ruby glow]

The four young cats' confirmations rang like a songbird's sweet tune to the leader's ears. Proudly staring down at the soon-to-be warriors, Bramblestar continued, praying that the warrior names he chose will fit each cat.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you all your warrior names," he said. "Cuckoopaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Cuckoowing. StarClan honors your courage and determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ArcticClan. Flowerpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Flowerdance. StarClan honors your courage and spirit, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ArcticClan. Skypaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Skylark. StarClan honors your courage and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ArcticClan."

Bramblestar winked at the she-cats before smiling at Sprintpaw. After a heartbeat of contemplating the tom's new name, the leader said, "Sprintpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Sprintingmemory. StarClan honors your courage and devotion, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ArcticClan."

As Bramblestar leapt down from the High Rock to rest his muzzle on each of the new warriors, vaguely hearing Mossmask and Feathersoft shout out the new names while feeling his sisters' tongues brush his shoulder, he hoped that Tawnysongs up in StarClan didn't mind that he tweaked her son's name just a bit.

He granted Cuckoowing, Flowerdance, Skylark, and Sprintingmemory their few moments of glory, beaming down at the quartet as the clan shouted their new names. In time, however, he flicked his tail as he had seen Foreststar do many times for silence. Once it was all quiet again, Bramblestar spoke.

"Hollowpaw, Foxpaw, please step forward." The leader smiled at the brothers, extending it their parents and Eclipsedpaw, as the two obeyed. "I, Bramblestar, leader of ArcticClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Hollowpaw, Foxpaw, do you both promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of your lives?"

((*copies and pastes all the ceremonies* Easiest 150 words I ever had to do. xD Sorry for the delay, everyone!

Hollowpaw-->Hollowtree, and Foxpaw-->Foxsunder, right? Is that how it's spelled?

And, for Eclipsedpaw, shall I give her the Eclipsedmoon name now, or would you rather wait until the proper medicine cat ceremony during the medicine cat meetings?))[/i]

He was almost reluctant to leave his much smaller sister's side as Bramblestar called upon him and Foxpaw. He glanced at his brother, letting out a slow breath before gently helping Eclipsedpaw to lay down, stepping forwards with his brother, head held high and gaze moving around the clearing before he stood in front of where the leader was, eyes bright as he glanced over at his sister, whom was watching with interest. Even if she held no voice, it would be hers he heard above the rest. He smiled brightly, then turned his attention towards the leader, flicking his tail across his brother's shoulder.

Eclipsedpaw sighed slightly as her brothers stepped forwards. Without her. If it was just a few days ago, she'd be up there with them, receiving her name along with Hollowpaw and Foxpaw. It just wasn't fair! But, at least she wasn't down for the count, she was still able to help her Clan. That made her smile softly as her tail waved back and forth, ready to cheer her brothers on as they got their names. She looked around the camp, hoping o catch sight of Feathersoft. As soon as the meeting was over, she wanted to start her training. Even if she had the deal with this lame leg and muteness, she wanted to start working as soon as she could. Tail stilling behind her, she turned her attention back upon her brothers, and the young leader

[hollowpaw]

[[Umm.. We can go ahead and give Eclipsed her name. She'll feel all left out and stuff. xD]]

When you've said what you want to say

Skypaw stood beside her den-mates, her eyes fixed straight ahead as she smiled nervously before her leader. She'd waited for many seasons for this one moment, but now she wondered what it actualy meant. The only differences would be in her name and where she slept. It was one step closer to Star Clan, like jumping on to the next stepping stone to reach the other side of the river. But the change was deffinetly a welcome one. One which she was sharing with her family. All of her friends, her denmates, the members of the clan who loved her and protected her and counted her as one of them. She was elated. Skypaw felt a shiver running along her spine, causing her dusty lilac pelt to ripple like waves. Every part of her was alive and tingling as Bramblestar said her new name.

And you know the way your gonna play it

Skylark. That was who she was now. For some reason, she felt relieved. Skylark followed through her parts of the ritual like she was seperate from her body. Now she knew how it felt to fly. She could probably reach up and scoop the stars right from Silver Pelt. She glanced around wildly, her normally pale purple eyes a virbant violet colour. It wasn't all about her, her firends were equally important. There was nothing without Flowerpaw and Cuckoopaw and their small band of apprentices-turned-warriors. As she raised her head to yowl their ew naes, Skylark caught sight of a group of stars. Sliding across the sky. She knew who they were and shouted to them. 'Flowerdance! Cuckoowing!' There was something unusually special about this ceremony. Skylark was buzzing. She could see the same look on the faces of Flowerdance and Cuckoowing. They were warriors now. The life of Arctic Clan.

You'll be so high you'll be flying

//I appologize for the randomness of this. It's kind of how I feel right now. Electric for now apparent reason. I'll edit this probably when I put a normal head on.

His heart soared at the sound of the names of his friends. He flicked his tail and looked at Cukoowing. A beautiful name for such a graceful and strong she-cat. He flicked her ear with his tail and looked at Flowerdance. His eyes seemed to melt into her and he stared. it was as if she had become something more than what she had been before. His heart ached to be close to her but he knew he needed to hold back for a little longer. He flicked her ear with his tail tip and smiled lightly. "Flowerdance, what a beautiful reminder of your light heart and spontaneity." he said to himself. He dropped his head and Bramblestar wandered over to him. He looked up at his older brother now leader and smiled. The tom spoke a name, and it was his. "Sprintingmemory." Perfect. his heart soared and he felt a tingle run through his body, from his nose to his tail tip. He leaned forward and licked his broth- Leaders shoulder and dipped his head. He heard the cheers of his family and friends as he made his way back to where Cardinalvoice and Hunterstealth sat. He felt his face smiling but couldn't stop that. He flicked his ears and waited. He listened as the cats were called forward and he smiled as Eclipsedpaw moved forward with her siblings.

((Sorry for the crappyness of this post))

Hunterstealth raced forward when his son became a warrior. "Sprintingmemory!" He called out, chanting his son's name loud enough for him and Tawnysongs. It was the perfect name. He rushed forward and pressed his muzzle into his son's side, purring happily. "I'm so proud!" He mewed to Sprintingmemory. "Tawnysongs and I are both so proud of you, I just wanted to tell you that." A grin spread across his face, when he saw the big smile on Sprintingmemory's face. "I think it's perfect."

As Hunterstealth turned his head to watch Bramblestar give names to the other warriors, he couldn't help but wonder who the new deputy will be. Briefly, he wondered if Bramblestar would choose him. No. I wouldn't be chosen. He decided, and shook his head. He looked back up at the apprentices, who were getting a ceremony, and smiled. He was happy with his post as warrior. If he became deputy, it would just be the icing on the cake. He smiled to himself, and began to listen to Bramblestar.
