It was time, Icestar padded into the clearing and said the normal ceromonial opening. Once all of the cats were gatherd under the ledge he began. "I, Icestar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Birchpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Birchpaw, from this moment you will be known as Birchfeather. StarClan honors your eagerness and enthusiasm, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Hawkclan.
Icestar rests his muzzle on the top of Birchfeather's head and the Birchfeather licks his shoulder in respect.
"I, Icestar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn.

"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Flickerpaw, from this moment you will be known as Flickerstone. StarClan honors your loyalty and your smarts, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Hawkclan.
Icestar rests his muzzle on the top of Flickerstone's head and the Flickerstone licks his shoulder in respect.

"I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Patchpaw, from this moment you will be known as Patchpelt. StarClan honors your Bravery and your strength, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Hawkclan.
Icestar rests his muzzle on the top of the Patchpelt's head and Patchpelt licks his shoulder in respect. The rest of the Clan chant all of the new warrior's name's.
"Now as you know you must sit vigil while everyone else sleeps. Good luck. The clan ceromony is over. The cats dispersed each of them congratulating the new warriors as they walked by.
"I do."
