[Mosstar]

Mosstar: "i need Snowpaw, Cloudypaw, Flowerpaw, Mintpaw, and Mottledpaw to step forward..."
The apprentices emerged but mottledpaw was not coming out.....

Mosstar: "I, Mosstar, 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 her to you as a warrior in his turn. Snowpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

((ooc: Flowerpawpaw? lol. Anyway, I don't know what you mean by 'Mottledpaw was not coming out' and then going ahead with his ceremony...))

((bic:)) Mottledpaw came out and meowed confidently, "I do." before jumping up onto the Highrock. He had been sitting in the apprentice's den waiting for Burrclaw to get him for training, but instead was surprised. It was the apprentices' warrior ceremony!

Burrclaw looked over at Mottledpaw with a glint of happiness in her eyes. As he passed by, she meowed cheerfully, "I would have told you to sleep in a little bit, but that would have given it away."

Flowertail and Needlefur looked on lovingly. Flowertail almost tried to groom Mottledpaw as he went y, but Needlefur stopped her. "He's a grown cat now. Leave him alone and let him enjoy his proud moment without an emberassment," he meowed good naturedly. "He is a big cat now..." Flowertail meowed. "He looks strong. I'm sure he'll be a fine warrior."

((ooc again: By the way, I have some names to suggest... *shy face* How about Mottledstorm, Mottledear, Mottledrain, Mottledheart, or Mottledcloud? Whichever one you think sounds best.))

Mosstar: "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Mottledpaw, from this moment you will be known as Mottledfire. StarClan honors your courage and your loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of Dragonclan."

Mottledfire proudly looked down among the cats as they yelled out his name, along with the others'. He silently jumped down and made his way to Burrclaw. "Thank you for always supporting me." he shyly meowed before going over to his parents.

"Well, look at our mighty warrior!" Flowertail meowed to Mottledfire.

"Mom... I mean, er, Flowertail..." Mottledfire quietly meowed, emberassed.

"You can call me mom!" Flowertail kiddingly meowed, licking Mottledfire's ear. "That's what I am, after all."

Mottledfire turned to Needlefur and just nodded. He didn't know what to say, but a nod was the least he could do until he figured out what to say to his father. Needlefur returned the nod, and knew that it only meant that Mottledfire didn't know what to say.

Mottledfire quickly meowed to both, "Well, I have a vigil tonight, so I guess I better get my talking out. See you in the morning."
