I pad out of the nursery, my chest was fluffed out, my head held high and my tail up straight. Every cats' eyes were on me and Robinkit. Dappledstar glanced at us, from Highrock she seemed so powerful and commanding, yet graceful and delicate. Long shadows scrape the long grass as we take our places in center on the clearing.

Almost six moons had gone by sense I'd opened my eyes, and today was the day that Robinkit and I became apprentices. I scanned the crowd, looking for Owlfrost- our father. He sat close to the elders, Owlscar, Cloudfur and Leaftail. He looked at me, I searched his face for emotions, but found none.

"Today, Robinkit and Ravenkit have reached six moons and it is time to start their training until they be warriors. Their father, Owlfrost, is a great warrior and hopefully these kits will follow in his paw steps. Robinkit, please step forward." As my sister stalked forward, Dappledstar paused. "From this day forward, until you have earned your warrior name, you shall be named Robinpaw. The Clan honors you for your speed and slyness," she pauses for another moment, scanning the crowd.

"Snowspeck, you will be her mentor," she announces. The pure white tom with light grey specks stepped forward and touched her nose, then Robinpaw turned to touch Dappledstars nose. They stepped back, leaving a path for me. "Ravenkit, step forward,"

Excitement bubbled up inside of me. I hope no one saw my hind legs shaking. Per dawn light covered the sky as I padded up to Highrock. "Ravenkit, until you have reached the age of twelve moons, your name will be Snowpaw. The Clan honors your skill and speed," she lets the Clan take it in before continuing, "I will be mentoring you,"
"Ravenpaw, Robinpaw! Robinpaw, Ravenpaw! Robinpaw, Snowpaw Ravenpaw!" The Clan chanted. Crystaldawn bounded up to us, along with the rest of BirchClan. I felt warm inside, would be sleeping in the apprentices' den, tonight!
