—— Crowpaw, Cloversnap

it was upon long, lean legs that sirensea slipped forward and ascended the weatheredstones, a cluster of rocks half-imposing, half-crumbling from exposure to the elements. eyes of sea and sky feathered the camp in a manner automatic almost to the point of absentminded, but she was all there. 

"let all cats old enough to climb rocks taller than they gather beneath the weatheredstones for a clan meeting!" the sentence in full felt affected to sirensea; the newly-made leader still felt as though such ceremonious words had no place coming from her mouth. 

"crowkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. from this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as crowpaw. your mentor will be cloversnap. i hope cloversnap will pass down all she knows on to you."

"cloversnap," sirensea said, eyes of gold-blue hues flicking to the dark green ones of the silken-furred she-cat. "cloversnap, you are ready to take on an apprentice. you will be the mentor of crowpaw, and i expect you to pass on all you know to crowpaw."
