Surprisingly, Darknight let Voidpaw go off on his own after the apprentice ceremony. He immediately met up with Glisteningpaw who was beaming at him. 

"Congratulations on becoming an apprentice! I'll introduce you to the rest of us."

The ginger and white tabby Molly turned to the other young cats.

"This is Shinepaw, my brother," she said, pointing to a ginger and white tom. He wasn't as fluffy as Glisteningpaw was, and he didn't have her stripes. 

Shinepaw was standing next to a light brown tabby she-cat who Glisteningpaw introduced next, "This is Rattlepaw! She's my best friend."

Rattlepaw waved at Voidpaw. She appeared kind of bored and went back to talking with Shinepaw about something else.

"And then there's-"

"Shut it," a black tom hissed, "We can introduce ourselves."

She rolled her eyes, "Do what your heart pleases then."

"The name is Clawpaw," he said, "And I will not be told what to do."

Voidpaw noticed that the tom had a claw scar on his left shoulder, similar to his own. That's strange, he thought.

The cat next to him spoke up next, "My name is Hisspaw," she said in a high-pitched voice. "Rattlepaw may be my sister but I don't associate with her. At all," she snarled.

Rattlepaw looked over from where she was. She didn't seem to reciprocate the feeling and just rolled her eyes, continuing her conversation. 

Glisteningpaw looked around, "Seems like Elderpaw and Bonepaw already went off somewhere. That's fine, we can go to the apprentice den and set up your nest!"

She appeared a lot more excited than Voidpaw. Still, he trudged behind her, listening to her eager words. Her excitement was refreshing after moons of being stuck in a dark den, completely alone.

"Do you wanna sleep next to me? We already have the materials ready, just in case anyone moves in or someone's nest is broken so we don't need to go out gathering all the time."

She chattered on, filling the silence while teaching Voidpaw how to weave/twist bracken and ferns together to form a basic shape, then layering moss on top. The result was something much more comfortable than the shallow dirt hole that he had been sleeping in before. 

Voidpaw took a nap afterwards, tired from his ceremony and the building of his nest. He couldn't wait to learn more about the other apprentices.
