A hot, damp air encompassed the FireClan camp as Kindlestar climbed the Dead Tree, something she had been doing on such a constant basis lately, to call for a Clan meeting. This time, however, it was nothing but good news for the Clan. There were apprentices to be given their warrior names, and kits who were now ready for an apprentice themselves. In even bigger news, FireClan finally had a medicine cat! Alphie had been staying with the Clan for the past moon, and he had shown himself to be trustworthy and knowledgeable in herbs and healing. Some of the Clan still looked at him with wary eyes, but Kindlestar was convinced that he was the best medicine cat FireClan could have asked for after Russetfur's untimely demise.
"Will all the cats old enough to hunt their own prey come join me under the Dead Tree for a Clan meeting?" Kindlestar yowled out in her usual way, waiting for the cats to settle down below her.
She could see out of the corner of her eye that Gwyn, yet another outsider to FireClan, was out of her nursery and among the warriors today. But unlike her usual shy, retracted self, she looked confident and happy. The fact that she was going to finally receive her apprentice title having the effect it had on all kits, no matter how shy and quiet they were. As the cats slowly came out to meet them, she noticed Alphie staying close to the medicine cat den due to the sick he was currently tending, and Fogpaw and Shortpaw sitting close to the Dead Tree with pride, equally proud Twopelt and Dawncloud sitting behind. Clearing her throat to subside the usual whispers, she began the ceremony.
"Cats of FireClan, for moons now we have struggled after the fated day when the rogues came and attacked us, took away from us not land, not prey... but friends and family. Others would have faltered, would have given up. Yes, the path to recovery has been hard, and yes, we have made mistakes, but in the end FireClan is now stronger than ever, and a big part of this is none other than Alphie, the lone stranger who traveled from a distant territory despite knowing nothing of us to help us!" Kindlestar called out, her eyes falling on Alphie as she mentioned him.
"Alphie, when you first came here I asked you if you would help us, if you would become FireClan's medicine cat, and without hesitation you said yes. You have helped our weak, our ill, and our injured. You have taken our suspicion and given only kindness in return. Because of this, I feel honored to welcome you into our Clan as a full medicine cat. I ask you again, Alphie... now that you have lived with us, seen what Clanlife is about, do you choose to stay with us and be our medicine cat, upholding our traditions and way of life?"
"I do," Alphie mewed sincerely, the same diligence he had shown the first time had answered this question burning in his eyes.
"Then by the powers of StarClan I welcome you to our Clan and give you your true name as medicine cat. Alphie, from this moment on you will be known as Emberstripe. StarClan honors your patience and knowledge and welcomes you as a full medicine cat of FireClan."
A chorus could be heard as FireClanners, caught up in the moment, began to chant Emberstripe's new name, welcoming him fully as one of their own for the first time in a moon. Once the chanting for Emberstripe had stopped, Kindlestar turned to Fogpaw and Shortpaw.
"Aside of a new medicine cat, I believe we also have new warriors among us tonight," Kindlestar mewed kindly, looking at the two apprentices as their whiskers quivered with excitement. "I, Kindlestar, leader of FireClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Shortpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," Shortpaw called back bravely, his ears fully erect as he caught on to every word uttered.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Shortpaw, from this moment you will be known as Shortblaze. StarClan honors your enthusiasm and courage, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FireClan."
Once more the Clan erupted in a chorus of cats chanting the new warrior's name, although no voice could be heard louder than Dawncloud's as he looked at his apprentice with pride. Once the chanting died out, Kindlestar continued.
"Fogpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," Fogpaw called back, his enthusiasm matching Shortblaze's.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Fogpaw, from this moment you will be known as Fogstorm. StarClan honors your energy and determination, and we welcome you as a full warrior of FireClan."
For a third time, the cats of FireClan began to chant, voices beginning to get hoarse but the need for celebration making this a minor inconvenience. Twopelt could be seen chanting excitedly alongside Dawncloud, his eyes focused on his apprentice with the same pride Dawncloud had shown. Silence soon filled the camp however as Kindlestar cleared her throat, indicating one last announcement.
"The celebrations are not over yet, my fellow warriors. No. Today we have a new apprentice among us as well. Gwyn, please step forward... Gwyn, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Snowpaw. Your mentor will be Viperfang. I hope Viperfang will pass down all he/she knows on to you."
Turning to Viperfang, the small statured leader continued.
"Viperfang, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be independent and have immense fighting skill. You will be the mentor of Snowpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to your apprentice."
Viperfang dipped his head respectfully, although a few hushed whispers could be heard, shock clear in them. Viperfang had never been a candidate for an apprentice due to his violent tendencies and general lack of patience. However, these were the reasons Kindlestar had chosen him as Snowpaw's mentor. With the two clashing personalities, she was hoping that Snowpaw would open up a little and become braver and more confident with Viperfang as her mentor. Despite the shock, Snowpaw's name was chanted along with the rest, welcoming her as a full member to the Clan as well. Whiskers twitching with contempt, Kindlestar nodded and leaped from the Dead Tree, joining in on what would surely be a night of celebration while Shortblaze and Fogstorm headed off to do their silent vigil as was always done according to law and tradition of the Clan.

Assignment for:
This assignment will be shorter than most, and will be mostly for rping. To RP the current events of this assignment, simply go to the RP journal and hit away at the ceremony. Only StarClan knows how long things are going to last this happily.
For those of you who are currently under penalty or were a part of the ceremony, you will have assignments due, so please read below to see if you have anything that applies to you other than rping and making friends in the Clan.
As a side note, Fogstorm's name might not be permanent. I am afraid that Fogstorm did not fully finish their assignment and despite my trying to extend the time before the ceremony as much as I could, I never got a name. Fogstorm, if you wish to have your name changed, contact me so that I can fix it on the official list.
Penalty Patrol
Because you guys are in penalty, there is no rest and relaxation this time around for you. RPing will NOT count as a way to get these assignments done, they must be done via drawing or pretty extensive written works. Please remember that if you have more than one cat in penalty you must do their assignments separately, no cutting corners and getting two for one.
Mingling in the crowd
There are so many cats in the camp all at once, getting a conversation with just one is being a nightmare for you right now. And usually you are so suave and easy to talk to. I guess it just isn't your night. Try to get rid of that horrible social block you have right now. It's time to party!
