ShadowClan/Roleplay

None

Brambleclaw observed the warriors and apprentices quietly. Horsestar had a few ceremonies to perform. Four warriors, one elder, and his deputy ceremony. Horsestar stood before leaping onto the Hightree, a tall dead tree that sat beside his den. The medicine cat's den in the hole that sat at the base of the tree. "May all cats gather to hear my words." The tabby yowled. Peppernose made his way to watch. The elderly warrior would be the one retiring, but his mate Stormtail was't quite ready to yet.
"Today I have several ceremonies to perform the first being several warrior ceremonies." Giving a cough to clear his throat. "Fallowpaw, Cedarpaw, Marshpaw, and Quailpaw please step forward." he said. The four apprentices did so. "Do you promise to uphold and follow the warrior code and protect your Clan with your life?" He asked, eyes staring at all four of them.
"I do." They said in unison.
"Then by the name of StarClan I name you warriors of ShadowClan. Fallowpaw, Cedarpaw Marshpaw, and Quailpaw you will be known as Fallowfern, Cedarpelt, Marshcloud, and Quailheart for your loyalty and bravery. May StarClan guide you." He bowed his head as the Clan chanted their names, once quiet he went into Peppernose's ceremony.
"Now, I have an elder ceremony to perform. Peppernose you have worked hard for this Clan and have been loyal. I along with rest of the Clan agree that it is time you rest after your hard work. Peppernose from this moment on you will be known as an elder among the Clan with your name remaining Peppernose." The Clan cheered for this. The elderly tom bowed his head proudly. "Now I know every one of you have been curious as to when I'd pick my deputy. So to calm your fears and worries I will be naming my deputy." he went silent as did the Clan. "I have thought long and hard about this and I have chosen Brambleclaw to succeed me." He said.
Brambleclaw looked up and bowed her head. The senior warrior stood breathing in. "Not because of her relations to me but because she has proved herself loyal and worthy of the position."
"Thank you, I accept." She said, green eyes meeting his. {{SUBST::User:Minkclaw/Sig}} 00:48, October 10, 2016 (UTC)
Mallowdawn watched the ceremony nearby her den with half closed eyes, thoughts wandering for most of the meeting up to about the point of the deputy being announced. When she heard Brambleclaw's name being called, she felt a twinge of anxiety about the long run. What if she died before Horsestar did? They were related, and quite close at that- Horsestar might be stricken into grief for a long period of time, and where would the Clan be in that period?
She forcefully thrust these thoughts from her mind. It would be alright. Brambleclaw was a wise and determined character- she would be a good deputy. The tabby sighed and walked back into her den, realizing how much of a clutter everything was. She ought to have someone to help her out with this mess- an apprentice, probably. **jasminemoon** Not throwing away my SHOT! 17:46 Mon Oct 10
Brambleclaw felt the gaze of every cat on her, her pelt rising with anxiety. *Why would Horsestar choose her?* She was his mate and above anything else she was closer to him than anyone els ein the Clan, aside from Mallowdawn. {{SUBST::User:Minkclaw/Sig}} 16:06, October 11, 2016 (UTC)
Mallowdawn sighed softly, and began to clean up the old, withered scraps of herbs that lay in dusty piles and reordered the newer herbs in the storage to be used later. *I wonder if I can visit the nursery later and try to find potential apprentice candidates.* **jasminemoon** Not throwing away my SHOT! 23:28 Tue Oct 11
