BrokenSoul returned with the four aprpentices, each one carried a large amount of fresh kill. They discarded it in the pile, then BrokenSoul leaped onto the Molten Rock. "Cats of CoreClan! Gather round for a warrior ceremony!"
A great assemble of cats began to crowd about the Rock. "Step forth AshPaw, IslandPaw, BookPaw, and DragonPaw."
They did so.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors, the leaders before me, and the Queen of our Kingdom, to look down upon these apprentices. They have worked hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. AshPaw, IslandPaw, BookPaw, and DragonPaw--Do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do," AshPaw and IslandPaw said in unison. "I do," Echoed BookPaw and DragonPaw.
"Then by the powers of the Kingdom of Flames, I give you your warrior names. AshPaw, from this moment on you shall be known as AshWood. The Kingdom honors your courage and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of CoreClan." He stepped forth and rested his muzzle on the gray tom's head, who responded by giving BrokenSoul's black shoulder a respectful lick.
"By the power of the Kingdoms, I give you, IslandPaw, your warrior name. From this moment on you shall be known as IslandWave. The Kingdom honors your strength and wit, and we welcome you as a full warrior of CoreClan." He touched his black/white nose to the cat's sandy -and-white shoulder, and IslandPaw responded by giving the leader's white shoulder a lick.
"By the poer of the Kingdom, DragonPaw I give you your warrior name. From this moment on you shall be known as DragonFire. The Kingdom honors your bravery and quick-wittedness, and we welcome you as a full warrior of CoreClan." He rested his black/white muzzle on the red cat's head who gave his shoulder a respectful lick.
"And finally, BookPaw. I give you your warrior name in a way different than others." BookPaw furrowed her brow. "I move your name of Book to the end, and give you the name of TornBook. The Kingdom honors your strength and skill and we welcome you as a full warrior of CoreClan." He rested his muzzle on TornBook's parchament colored head. The she-cat shrank away for a moment, shocked by her ceremony, and then hesitated to lick her leader's shoulder.
