Apprentice Ceremony and Clan announcement
Talking Cliff
9
A brown and cream figure sat atop the Talking Cliff, silhouetted head lifted to sniff the air, it's owner pleased with the day so far. It was the warmest day to bless the Clans recently and with the warm sun shining on the camp, Fawnstar decided this would be as good of a day as any for the clan meeting and ceremony she had planned. After the sad news the previous clan meeting had inspired, what with the murders of Pinestep and Doveflight, she knew the Clan would be eagerly anticipating this meeting and knew it would bring hope and cheer to her clanmates.
She raised her voice so she could be heard from all corners, her tone cheerful, wanting to be sure to catch the sun-high border and hunting patrols before they went out.
"Let all cat old enough to catch their own prey meet here beneath the Talking Cliff for a clan meeting!"
The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all

A small, lilac tortoiseshell peeked out from the nursery walls, teal eyes curiously wide as they followed the form of their older sister and leader. She had already grabbed a small mouse for her breakfast and she had no reason to stay inside while there was an announcement to be made. The pitter of small paw falls brought her closer, attracted by the bumblebee buzz that seemed to come from the cats she passed, including Cloudflare and Barleyswipe. Those same eyes craned up towards Fawnstar.

Basilflame's paws peeked out of the elders den for what only seemed like a few tiny pawsteps before she bounded out of the den after hearing Fawnstar's call to the rest of the clan. She turned her back to the den, her fiery colored point marked face glanced over at her dame, Sunbear, who was heaving herself up. "Do you need help Sunbear?"
Before she could really get much of an answer her gaze flicked towards Heatherkit. Basilflame's tail twitched with enthusiasm. After this meeting, Heatherkit and Oatkit won't be in the nursery any longer, she would be able to see the two much more than she used to in her visits to the nursery, oh how fun!
It didn't take long for Basilflame to make her way to a clear spot in the clearing sitting calmly on her haunches and curling her tail over her paws. She glanced up with a smile at Fawnstar and then turned the same smile to her approaching dame.
Like the sun, I may burn fiercely, but it's my fire that warms those I hold dear.

"Yes yes I'm coming don't get your fur in matts Basilflame" Sunbear stated, stretching our her paws before following her daughter out of the elder's den, she had been talking to Basilflame before this, but she had been laying down in her nest, relaxing, not like she wouldn't have to get up eventually anyway, but it would have been nice if she was already up when Fawnstar held a meeting for once.
Sunbear's hazel eyes flicked to the nursery, Heatherkit and Oatkit. "Hm, suppose it's their ceremony then, six moons they are" she meowed quietly as to conceal her voice from the kits, she didn't intend to excite them too much, from what Sunbear knew, she should have known of their ceremony at this stage in time.
With a sigh, Sunbear decided to settle down beside Basilflame, parting her jaws in a yawn before snapping them shut with a certain clicking sound of her teeth snapping shut as she followed her daughter's wondering eyes towards Fawnstar.

Brightmaple hauled herself to her paws and stiffly followed Heatherkit into the clearing, having finished giving both her daughter and Oatkit a more thorough than usual grooming before allowing either to leave the den. She sat down next to Barleyswipe, aiming to press her bright red and brown fur to the other's paler apricot and white. Even if she was feeling the cold and her age, her fluffy white chest puffed up in pride as her golden eyes glowed. "It'll be nice to share your warmth again tonight." She purred softly to the older elder.
Boulderdash peered into the camp from where she sat guard at the entrance. She knew that since a meeting was being called, she could go join her clanmates and resume her guard duties after, but she could hear just fine from where she was and since she was unaware of a particular reason she needed to attend physically, she remained where she was. Green and blue eyes glittered with curiosity as she wondered what the meeting was about and she twitched her bobbed tail as she continued to listen.
Oatkit scampered from the nursery after his sister, curious what the meeting Fawnstar had called was about. His pelt was still slightly damp from the vigorous licking his mother had given him only a few heartbeats before. He had wriggled in protest, not because he didn't like being groomed but because his dame was being overly fastidious in he and Heatherkit's appearance. Blue eyes were wide as he watched his clanmates emerging from wherever they had all been.
