Finally, things seemed to settle in. Perhaps it was the warmth that always brought smiles to everyone's faces, perhaps it was the plentiful prey, or maybe- just maybe- everyone was finally happy here in their new home. He didn't expect everyone to like it, and that was the harsh truth. Everyone just wanted their old home back, but that was gone. They had no other home, just this one. Even if the gathering had been a bit of a mess, he noticed that at least one of their neighboring clans, MistClan, didn't seem to hate their guts too much more than any of the other clans. Anywho, their reputation was not on Screechstar's mind right now as he hopped up onto the meeting rock in the cave, calling for all his clanmates to join him.
"Cats of young and old, gather around me for this moon's ceremonies," he began, nodding his head to the cats who were nearest. "I'm glad to see the extra spring in everyone's step this moon, as you all seem to be settling in quite nicely. On this lovely, warm day, I believe we have a newcomer who deserves his warrior name. Halfpaw, if you would please step forward?
"Though you have only been with our clan for a short while, you have made many friends and helped us greatly through our transition. We thank you dearly for that, and we hope that you continue to make yourself at home among our ranks. I'll be honest here- I was very unsure of what suffix to give you. I'm not very experienced with naming warriors, but I did my best with such a character like you. You have shown us that looks can be deceiving... your size gives many a dangerous impression of you, but you have shown us the opposite. Halfpaw, for your incredible kindness towards strangers like us, I name you Halfpetal."
He smiled, content, as he moved on without a second thought to the many kits he was to name as apprentices now. "Lynxkit, Bearkit, Mousekit, Asterkit, Lotuskit, Cloverkit, Sunkit, Morningkit, and Echokit please step forward. Lynxkit, you shall now be known as Lynxpaw, and your mentor will be Songbreeze. Pass on your loyalty to this young cat through your experience and teachings. Bearkit, you shall now be known as Bearpaw, and your mentor will be Blackmoon. I see that you two have grown close over these past few moons and I hope you grow even closer through this bond. Mousekit, you shall now be known as Mousepaw, and your mentor will be Stoatstare. Pass on your wisdom to this young cat and help him grow into an outstanding warrior. Asterkit, you shall now be known as Asterpaw, and your mentor will be Lostruby. I hope you pass on your kindness to Asterpaw, but always know your limits- there can always be too much of a good thing. Lotuskit, you shall now be known as Lotuspaw, and your mentor will be Melodybird. Pass on your charm and sly tongue to her, for you never know when it may be useful. Cloverkit, you shall now be known as Cloverpaw, and your mentor will be Lightningstrike. You are strong and can show Cloverpaw the ways to be just as strong as you one day. Sunkit, you shall now be known as Sunpaw, and your mentor will be Coyotedawn. I hope you pass on your bravery in battle to Sunpaw and teach her to be just as bold as you one day. Echokit, you shall now be known as Echopaw, and your mentor will be Red-dawn. You are both compassionate cats who can learn from each other, not just one teaching the other. And finally, last but not least, Morningkit, you shall be known as Morningpaw, and your mentor will be Sparklight. You have so much potential, Morningpaw, to be outspoken and loud, and I hope that Sparklight can bring that out in you with her lively nature."
Screechstar finished abruptly, hopping down and away from the rock, though he lingered behind just a bit for any questions. It had been tough on him to find mentors that worked well with all the kits, but he managed. And an abundance of apprentices surely couldn't be horrible. All the more paws to help... right?
ooc// god that was so painful i hope you guys like it because that hurt to write so much
