*As the sun crept up over the horizon, Rockstar bunches her muscles and leaps onto the thick branch of the Great Oak.*
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Great Oak for a Clan meeting."*Clan gathers beneath the Great Oak. Dovekit, Crystalkit and Briarkit sat on either side of their mother, Fuzzyfern, at the base of the Great Oak.*
"We gather today to recognize three young kits who are ready to be made apprentices." *With a glance at Dovekit, Crystalkit and Briarkit, Rockstar went on.* "Dovekit, from this moment until you have received your warrior name, you will be known as Dovepaw and your mentor shall be Spottedstorm." Rockstar glanced at Spottedstorm, who walked towards the excited apprentice and nuzzled noses with her. " Please pass on your knowledge to this young apprentice." *Spottedstorm nodded and led Dovepaw towards the edge of group of OakClan cats.*
"Crystalkit, from this moment on until you receive your warrior name you will be known as Crystalpaw and you mentor shall be Pinefur." *Pinefur padded away from the group and towards the base of the Great Oak, smiling proudly.* "Please pass on your courage and bravery to this young apprentice." Rockstar added to Pinefur. *The apprentice and mentor nuzzled noses and padded over to Dovepaw and Spottedstorm.*
"And last but not least, Briarkit. From this moment on your will be known as Briarpaw and your mentor will be Tigeroak." Tigeroak, who was standing nearby, walked toward his new apprentice and they touched noses. "Tigeroak, please pass on your loyalty to this young apprentice." Tigeroak nodded and replied, "Yes, Rockstar." he bowed towards his leader and led his apprentice over to the others. "You will begin training immediately. You will all go together and follow all of the borders. Please remark the scents on all borders. Hawkthorn and Pebblesong you may take your apprentices, Brindlepaw and Blizzardpaw out to train and then have them hunt for the elders and queens. Fuzzyfern I would like you to take over your apprentice, Whitepaw, whom I had to give to another warrior to mentor while you were nursing your kits, on an assessment. Follow him but do not let him know you are there. He must catch as much fresh-kill as possible. Report back to me when you return. You can leave immediately." Rockstar gave a nod of dismissal to the apprentices and and their mentors.
"I would like Speckletail, Crowleaf and Silverpaw to take up the dawn patrol. Please return with some fresh-kill. Nettlebrook, Emberpaw and myself will take up the noon patrol. And Mudpelt can lead a patrol of three or four down to the river to patrol that area at sunset. Whitenose will stand guard at the entrance to the camp until sunset. Leopardpelt shall guard the camp from sunset until dawn. I would like Crowleaf to take his apprentice, Silverpaw out training after the dawn patrol. The rest of you shall make yourselves useful by hunting, caring for the elders or making the camp walls stronger. Today, Dovepaw and Briarpaw will learn how to care for the elders. Spottedstorm shall teach them. Crystalpaw will help the other apprentices gather twigs and materials for making the camp walls stronger. Pinefur, will you teach her how to do that?" Rockstar asked. Pinefur bowed her head and replied, "Yes Rockstar." Rockstar nodded in approval. At somepoint today, I would like Brindlepaw to help Lightpaw collect herbs for Runningclover. Meeting dismissed!" *Rockstar jumped down from the Great Oak with a great leap.*
