RAY OF LIGHT — 01.01.24 meeting

[wolfpaw!]

It's their big day!

Wolfkit's flowing dawn-and-dusk fur is impeccably shiny, groomed to perfection as Hawkkit's is. She'd even forgone the accessories that Hawkkit often helped her procure (though she thinks hopefully of wearing them when she becomes a warrior, perhaps) for the sake of the ceremony. It's not every day that kits become apprentices, and she only gets the one shot at it, she's pretty sure, so it's best to look... her best. After all of Howlfire's fussing, she supposes it is at least right to keep herself tidy, anyway.

She'd chattered with her littermates about potential mentors before. Many of SkyClan's greatest warriors had apprentices already, but many of them still had none, and they were all cool, weren't they? Wolfkit's head spun with possibility. Maybe she'd get Orangeblossom! That would be crazy, 'cause Orangeblossom was so cool and strong. Or maybe she'd get Bobbie, who was soft and sweet, or Tigerscar, who was sort of scary but probably good at warrior stuff.

But for all of her imagining, only now would she know the reality of her future: she would be mentored by Figfeather!

Wolfkit — no, Wolfpaw — beams up at the marmalade she-cat. They touch noses while Wolfpaw's feathery, silk-sheen tail wags fervently behind her. I'll teach you all I know, she says, and Wolfpaw nods. "I'm ready!" she yips in response. Maybe they'd start their training right after the meeting? Or, well, she'd probably have to move her den first....

Wolfpaw spares her littermates an excited glance, plumed chest puffing out as they receive their own mentors. She can't ignore the small ember of jealousy that sparks across her chest when Hawkpaw gets their very own mother as her mentor, but really, she couldn't be happier with her own assignment. Figfeather was so cool and strong, and she's always heard good things about the sunshine-pelted warrior from other cats. Bobbie was a cool mentor, too, she thinks — she grins widely at Blazingpaw, ears twitching. They'd be the best apprentices ever.

[DOGBITE]

✦ As the tired-looking Blazestar echoed the call for Shrewflight, it was a pleasant sight to witness. Happily the scraggly tom joined in on the fervor. "Shrewflight! Shrewfligh!" Yet, in that moment, everything felt oddly right. A soft smile graced their maw, and a gentle twinkle gleamed in his gaze. Time seemed to fly for every cat these days, especially with the little scraps now readying for apprenticeship, placed under the care of formidable mentors and celebrated by the watchful eyes of their Skyclan kin.

However, the atmosphere shifted as the mention of more serious matters hung in the air. Having been among the unfortunate few present at the last two gatherings, Dogbite couldn't shake the unease stemming from the absence of Sunstride. Despite his disdain for Sootstar, the sunny deputy's sudden lack of decorum had irked his nerves. Part of him hoped it was merely another erratic demand from the ashen she-cat rather than something more sinister.

Nodding along, the tabby strongly supported the decision to maintain a cautious stance. The cold weather added an extra layer of urgency to address wounds and hunger rather than stir up unnecessary tensions. However, if ever called upon, Dogbite harbored no hesitation in defending his clanmates' right to passage to their ancestors, even if it meant shredding any who dared deny them. On a flip the tabbies mood is dampened drastically.

The mention of a rogue scent immediately heightened his senses, and a familiar anger simmered in the pit of their stomach. Recent memories of Littlepaw's terrified gaze and the ensuing bloodshed left a bitter taste. The itch for vengeance crawled beneath pale skin, and the promise rang clear in his mind. Any of those fleabags come near the border again they will meet their end as crowfood! Suppressing his temper, Dogbite chose to lash his tail quietly, a silent expression of their simmering discontent.

Adhering to his leader's request the long-haired feline refocused on the tasks ahead. Mentally mapping out the routes for when he and Littlepaw would later hunt to avoid any unwanted interactions. They couldn't control the fact Rogue's were running about but he could plan ahead for the safety of his apprentice.

[Hazelbeam]

————————————————————⊰★★★⊱———————————————————
It was not often she got to enjoy clan meetings, the schedule of a daylight warrior passed on the whim of their twoleg and hers had been particularly sporadic lately. She enjoyed coming to SkyClan and had no intention of stopping anytime soon, but she did need to make sure her owner was doing well and not missing her enough to put up pictures of her like she did that one time before when she got locked in the basement for a few days.
As the black and blue she-cat ambles over to sit she listens with attentive pointed ears to the apprentices being named and mentored- Howlfire's litter finally, the cats being made into warriors and some reassignments...
Hazelbeam.
Her name called? For what? Hazelbeam's mouth opens and she quickly snaps it back closed before anyone can see the flicker of disbelief that struck her.
An apprentice for her? Her? She was delighted, honored, maybe a little bit giddy about the entire thing and she quickly sought her new charge out in the crowd of cats to approach with a wide smile befitting her clan name. "Hey kiddo, we're going to have a great time I promise!" She hoped she could pick up where Tawnypelt left off with, wondered if the cream-colored cat was looking own and approving of this new arrangement from StarClan.

★ such a wonder to be under her spell ———— ★ she's a woman in total control of herself
