Today was the day.
The air was buzzing with excitement from every corner of camp. It was a much needed celebration, the day a handful of kits would be promoted to apprentices. A large and regal tom overlooked his clanmates, a spark of pride in his chest. Today was when the first of his, Pinestar's, grandkits would choose the paths of the rest of their lives. He watched his daughters in hushed, excited conversation in front of the nursery. His green eyes settled on the enthused expression of the tortoiseshell, Applestem, who looked so like her mother.
Pinestar studied her, but was truthfully lost in thought. He continued to struggle with deciding fitting mentors for each of her four kits, after the recent loss of life in their clan had left choices skim. He sighed in sorrow.
The brush of a second pelt against his snapped him out of the fog. He looked to his left, seeing the stoic posture of Applestem's mate, Archstone.
"Are you nervous?" Pinestar asked the glowing father.
Archstone scoffed and eyed the older tom. "Are you?" He teasted. He flicked his tail with regret when Pinestar only sighed. "It will turn out alright," Archstone assured him, returning his gaze to his mate and her sister ushering their kits out of the nursery. "They are adaptable, as we all must be."
"There is much on my mind," Pinestar admitted. "I should choose to focus on the joy of this day."
"Then do so you shall," Archstone said with a grin and a playful flick. The black and white tom lept gracefully from their perch and turned to face his leader once more. "Nothing can possibly ruin this day, Pinestar."
"Don't say that," Pinestar laughed nervously, taking his place upon the (1)__________.
One by one, each of the four soon-to-be apprentices lined up eagerly before their grandfather and leader. A grand hush fell over the small clan. Pinestar allowed the silence to settle before daring to break it.
"Mothkit, Spiderkit, Antkit, and Beetlekit, you have reached the age of six moons and it is time for you to take your place in this Clan as apprentices. From this day until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Mothpaw, Spiderpaw, Antpaw, and Beetlepaw. May your mentors pass down all they know to you." His green eyes drifted to the first of the siblings in line before him. "(2)__________, your mentor shall be (3)__________."
