they sat on top of clanrock for a while now. they haven't said a word, or even gestured to wanting to. not yet. they watch the hustle of clan, each clanmate doing something. some doing less but doing something nonetheless. their ears flicked back and forth as they closed their eyes, claws gently scrapping against the rock before they huffed quietly. they stood up, shaking their pelt out and stretching their limbs before clearing their throat rather loudly.
"shadowclan, gather around, please! it is time for another meeting."
their nose twitched before they blinked a few times before they speak up.
"first we will start with mentor reassignments. there is a lot of you that... need new mentors. your mentors either retiring, or too hurt, or just a need of change. do not fret on why. just know this is the best decision for all of you. lividpaw, laurelpaw, snowpaw, opposumpaw, thornpaw, flintpaw, singepaw, poppypaw. all of you will be getting new mentors this meeting. know that the reason is not because of you. lividpaw, you will be mentored now by jaggedpath. laurelpaw, ferndance is your new mentor. snowpaw, and opposumpaw, mirepurr will mentor the both of you. thornpaw, and flintpaw, you'll be mentored by forestshade. singepaw, you will be mentored by smogmaw. and yes, you and bloodpaw can now leave camp. don't make me regret it. and poppypaw, you will be mentored by fleabounce. my decisions are final unless something else happens."
they flick their tail rather dismissively.
"before I get to the warrior ceremonies, I need to speak about the predators and old threats having returned. it seems that there is... still quite some predators around. just keep safe. I do not want a single cat leaving this camp without at least two others accompanying them. it's dangerous, and I do not want to lose any of you, hear?"
they gritted their teeth, as their lip pulled back with disgust.
"it appears granitepelt and those still loyal to sootstar have been spotted nearby borders, recruiting cats to join their wretched cause. listen now, and listen close. if any of you even entertain the idea of going with that traitorous murderer who has done nothing but hurt and harm our clan, including your own medicine cat despite proclaiming to love her, I will gut you myself. I will literally put your insides on display for the stars to see, and do it with a damned smile. if you see granitepelt and his gaggle of weaklings at his helm, kill them. got it? good."
their tail lashed angrily, before ot all fizzled from beneath them, and the coldness returned to their gaze.
"now. screechpaw. briarpaw...."
they take a moment of silence. it was to be fore sweetpaw. they were supposed to get their warrior name, too. with a shake of their head, they continue.
"ripple. all three of you, step forward. briarpaw, and screechpaw. I've watched the both of you grow. from the time you were first born, to now. you... there has been a terrible loss. I know that sweetpaw is proud of the both of you for making it. and so am i. it's not easy to lose anyone, but especially not kin. either way, you must go on. life goes on, even when it's... hard. that's why today, I am giving you the chance to get your warrior names."
they address, before turning to look at ripple.
"you. you wear a name of a loner. it's not suitable. you've proven yourself useful enough to be named a warrior. so. all of you, do you promise to uphold the warrior code to the best of your abilities? to be loyal and to out shadowclan first? to be greater than those before you?"
they pause for the answers.
"very well. briarpaw, you will now be named briarthorn. you are skilled with your claws, and though you are reserved, you are focused. screechpaw, from now on you will be named screechstorm. your persistence and perseverance are like that of a raging storm. I'm proud of the both of you. ripple. your new name will be ripplestream. steady like soft running water. it is the type of warrior I know you will be."
they nod their heads to the new warriors.
"tonight, you will hold vigil and guard the camp together. if that's everything, you are all dismissed."
