[atrb=background,http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/Milkyface4455/Table2-1.jpg] ooc:; I'm also going to count this as a Riverclan cat check, so make sure all of you post. This is Ink's name ceremony.(Kit's are excused) The beautiful she-cat stretched herself at the mouth of her mud covered den. It stayed cool enough in newleaf, and warm enough in leafbare, which stands to reason for the clan's survival. Today, it was time to rename a cat who had recently joined the clan, and also make sure there was no prejudice for the fact that the cat was a kittypet once in her life. Kestrelstar jumped onto the high hill that served as a meeting place for ceremonies. The leader opened her jaw and called to the clan. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own fish gather underneath the hill for a clan meeting." She yowled, echoing through the dens. Ink was going to become Inkheart for her bravery, and her kits would grow up as Riverclan warriors, which added to the clans strength. They needed all the help they could get in these times of need. No matter how much the other clans looked down on them Kestrelstar would not stand for any of her cats being unkind to Ink or her kits for that matter who would be born and raised as if they were clan born in the first place.

Ink woke up to a yowl and blinked her eyes open. Hearing Kestralstar call for all cats to gather she stood up and slowly emerged from the den. She yawned and sat near the dens entrance wondering what was going on. She wondered if this was her naming ceremony her some other meeting. She hopped no one notice her and disrupt the meeting.

Lilypool padded into camp her fur soaked. She had been swimming just outside of camp when she heard the yowl. She sat down as close to the hill as she could get and still see. She wondered what was going on when the scent of a strange cat met her. her head turned towards the sent to see a cat heavy with kits. Was she joining them? She knew they where in need of kits but she smelled like a kittypet.

Mosspaw had just been out hunting and placed her catch in the prey pile. The 11 moon old apprentice tilted her head when Kestrelstar announced a meeting. she padded forward dipping her head in greeting to Lilypool before taking a seat. The mottled brown she-cat lifted her green gaze over to a she-cat heavy with kits. She stank of kitty pet but that didn't really bother Mosspaw. She too dipped her head in greeting and gave Ink a friendly nod before flicking her tail in acknowledgement.

[Foxpaw]

Emberpaw had been sound asleep when the call was sounded. A mixture of excitement and annoyance filled her. For all she knew, they could be getting ready for a battle. Or it could be just another stupid ceremony. She quickly made sure her fur was in order, licking down the few tufts that somehow got out of place before swiftly padding out. Her sister was sitting outside the den, swallowing the last remains of a fish. "Hurry up!" she hissed before rushing over to sit a few tail-legnths from Mosspaw. Her nose wrinkled in disgust at the newcomer, and just as she sent a dirty look her way, she felt something step on her tail. "Watch it, mouse-brain!" she hissed, look just as dirty despite the fact that it was directed at her sister.

Frostpaw was stretched out in front of the apprentice's den, fish between her paws. She quickly starting to swallow it, casting a worried look at the den behind her. She was just about finished and planning to retrieve her when Emberpaw padded out. The shy young she-cat nodded meekly at her command, quickly following behind the slightly larger cat. However, she was distracted by the strange new scent. She turned to stare curiously, although not unfriendly in the least, at the kittypet. Maybe she could be my friend? she thought hopefully. However, that thought vanished as she felt something soft under her paws. Her eyes widened, and she quickly scrambled off. "S-sorry Emberpaw..." she whispered, cringing as she slunk rather shamefully to her place beside her sister.

Blackhawk turned his head hearing a voice. He watched as cats gathered around the high rock and Kestralstar. "Clan meeting? Where have I been?" he sat from where he was and watched. This most likely had something to do with the cat called Ink. He narrowed his eyes. He had no comment on the whole ordeal. Not that it mattered. But it didn't mean he couldn't have his reason for not trusting the cat.

[Breezy-Chan]

Whitepaw was near the Medicine cats den leaving after getting her scar's checked to make sure they were healing right. She looked up with one good green eye and saw that her leader. It has been a while since the day Stormpaw was lost to them and Whitepaw had been heart broken to lose her brother in that battle. She sat down beside Lillypool so as to have a close up sit. It would easier to listen to what was going on and to see who was going to be named today.


Silverpool came in camp with prey in her jaws and just in time because a clan meeting was starting. She quickly dropped the prey off in the fresh kill pale and quickly walked over to sit beside Lilypool's side where Whitepaw wasn't sitting. Silverpool looked at the pregnant she cat and nodded her greeting to Ink who was soon to be part of the Clan. The needed more warriors and having Ink join while pregnant it would be like the kits were born warriors.

Kestrelstar

The leader watched as some of the cats gave looks to Ink, her scent was probably making them wonder. Kestrelstar would stand for no unkindness, it was something she had learned after her younger brother died. The she-cat waited for a moment until the final moments of cats gathered, others who were out could be filled in later. Kestrelstar flicked her tail and smiled, nodding at Ink. "I'd like to introduce you all to Ink, Today she gathers to us as a new member of Riverclan, a queen who deserves a home for her kits. She is kind, and strong, showing a lot of potential. I want us all to support her in learning the ways of the clan, and raising her kits as warriors. Which will make the clan stronger."

Kestrelstar introduced the cat. She would have to stand next to her, as she would give her, renaming ceremony. It was pretty easy, and it was boring maybe, but it was an official acceptance into the clan.

[angel]

Ink blinked her eyes, when Kestralstar began to speak. She heard one of the queens whisper in her ears that she had to walk up to the leader. Whispering a quick thanks she got up and slowly padded towards her. She didn't know if she had to do or say anything. So once she reached the hill she stopped and looked up looking for a hint or someone to tell her what to do next.

Lilypool smiled when her sister joined and rested her tail on her shoulder for a heartbeat. "Good catch Silverpool," she whispered having seen her sister come back with her kill. When Kestralstar began to speak she looked back up at her and listened. When she heard the cats name she glanced at her again. Well the name fitted her that is for sure.

Stonepaw listened to the cats gather and watched everyone settle in. He was sitting at the outer edge of the ring of cats. He was not affected by the fact that a kittypet was going to raise her kits in the clan. It didn't matter. He licked his chest and continued to listen to Kestrelstar. As much as he tried, his mind started to wander. His whiskers twitched as he thought of something amusing.

[Thorn]

Mosspaw spotted Stonepaw and flicked her tail for the tom to join next to her. She scooted over to Frostpaw and dipped her head in greeting. She wanted to make room for Stonepaw. She thought he was handsome. SHe found her cheeks growing hot. She looked at Ink and smiled. She was one of the friendlier cats in the clan."Welcome Ink!" She mewed. Mosspaw was almost a warrior. Perhaps Kestrelstar would let her mentor one of her kits. Oh that will be exciting."Oh Kestrel I can help teach her! Oh please!" Mosspaw's green eyes bounced with amusement. She was friendly with everybody in her clan. Perhaps that's what made her respectable.

[Venom]

"Hi Mosspaw, Frostpaw."Stonepaw sat down next to Mosspaw. His pelt got a bit warmer and he smiled at her. He wasn't surprised when she volunteered to help Ink learn to be a warrior, or queen or whatever Ink would be. Stonepaw liked that about her. Her willingness and compassion. The silver tom was glad for them to be friends, or perhaps more than friends? Maybe one day, eventually.

[Thorn]

"Hi Stonepaw!" she greeted him eagerly and with a swift lick between the ears. Mosspaw then turned her gaze back to Kestrelstar. The she-cat was so energetic. Standing still for so long just wasn't in her skills. She liked to be on the go unless of course she was tired. At that point she would curl up into her nest which was next to stonepaw's and fall asleep. For some reason being next to him just made her relax. There was just something about Stonepaw that made her feel....different.

[atrb=background,http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss40/Milkyface4455/Table2-1.jpg] Kestrelstar finally moved forward and lifted up her tail for silence from the cats. She turned to Ink and smiled sweetly. "Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment on,she will be known as Inkheart. We honor her Loyalty and Determination." She stepped forward and gave the she-cat a lick on the shoulder. Whispering in her ear to do the same as she moved away. Inkheart, a name indeed to look at. A new queen in the clan, who would bear more kits, a new soul to become bonded with in the long days ahead. This was Riverclan, and they would never cease to amaze any cat any day, when it came to the strength and loyalty into their hearts.

[angel]

Inkheart's eyes lit up at her new name. When Kestralstar padded forward and licked her shoulder she did the same thing as told. She raised her head up high and proud as Kestralstar stepped back. She didn't know what to expect. She had hears one of the cats welcome her and she tried to remember who it was.

Lilypool tilted her head she would never be a true warrior but her kits they could become great warriors. She turned to Kestralstar and frowned. "Kestralstar you must be joking she is a kittypet. I know where in need of more warriors but this kittypet can never be a true warrior. She has no training what so ever. Who will train her how to hunt and fight. And who will teach her the warrior ways. Most of us warriors and apprentices are to busy caring for the clan what with border patrols and hunting patrolls we don't have time to waste on a kittypet." She had heard her apprentice shout out to say she would help but when would she help. Mosspaw was almost a warrior she had much work ahead of her. She would not have time to train a kittypet.

[Razor]

Blackhawk looked over at Lilypool making a commotion about the loner. He stood up but stayed where he was, calm and collected "No one asked you Lilypool. Don't question Kestralstar. She has everything under control" he faced his eyes upon Kestralstar "I would hope at least." he concluded. Blackhawk sat back down, he didn't have anything else to say. Hopefully everyone else would keep their mouth's shut about dislikes.
