A New Warrior

"May all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the greattree for a clan meeting"

Rainpaw showed great courage yesterday in dealing with the loss of his brother and mother. Today Wasppaw should be here with Rainpaw today receiving their warrior names together. So today I commend Wasppaw a warrior whereever he may be whether it be with Starclan or lost in the forest far from here.

I Brightstar, leader of Smokeclan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to learn the ways of your noble code, but we lost him so wherever he may be. Let him join you as a warrior. From this moment Wasppaw shall be known as Waspfoot. Starclan honors your strength and your loyalty. Let him become a warrior.

"Waspfoot, Waspfoot, Waspfoot"

Now Rainpaw would you please step forward. Me and Pantherpelt have talked and agreed that it is time for you to become a warrior.

I Brightstar, leader of Smokeclan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code and I commend him to you as a warrior in his turn. Rainpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend this clan even at the cost of your life?

I do.

Then from this moment on you will be known as Rainshadow in honor of your mother, Swiftshadow. Remember her with this name. Starclan honors your courage and your kindness and we welcome you as a full warrior of Smokeclan.

"Rainshadow, Rainshadow, Rainshadow"
